All right, fellas, let's get this show started. Hot tip, the great maze. More on X Joe Biden, the hero, gives one of the worst speeches I've ever heard last night, acknowledging he got his electoral ass kicked by Donald Trump. He has now lost two elections to Donald Trump.

Had a back out. Now Donald Trump has to run his 76th presidential campaign.

Hillary Clinton vanquished, Biden. Vanquished. Had to steal it. Biden vanquished again after he steals it. Now he's got to run against Kamala Harris. This is like they just keep throwing candidates at him. They just keep throwing candidates at him. Don't downplay Kamala Harris with the cheating. She could still win.

Don't downplay it. Everybody follow me in the chat. Do not do it. How many people are we bringing to the polls? Minimum. Every time I see you, this is going to be our new hand signal.

That's for ten. We're bringing minimum of ten people. If we don't, we failed, period.

Mace Moore put this video out. Here's Joe Biden 13 days ago, I believe 13 the dates on it, 13 days ago, telling you how he was not leaving the race no matter what. And now he's saving democracy twelve days later. Last night when he gave the speech last night. Check this out. What's Joe Biden going to do? Is he going to stay in the race? Is he going to drop out? Here's my I am running and we're going to win.

I'm not going to change that.

You know, in recent weeks, it's become clear to me I need to unite my party in this critical endeavor.

So I've decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation.

That's the best way to unite our nation.

You realize these guys, if you're listening on Apple and Spotify, the production team puts these little thingies together. These imagery, the Biden versus Biden thing, they have up. You're watching on rumble. You saw it. We had to put that up because it's impossible to debate Joe Biden on any issue of substance because which Joe Biden are you debating? The guy last week who was saving democracy by staying in the race, or the guy twelve days later who's saving democracy by saying he's not the guy to stay in the race? Which guy? The answer is, I know, I don't know. I don't know. It's Joe Biden. I have no idea.

The guy is the biggest phony in politics. Let me just be clear with you folks in the chat, you have any sympathy for this guy? I have zero.

He is a bribe taking, influence peddling kid. Sniffing, woman groping loser who has done more destruction in three and three quarters years in the position of the presidency than any human being in a position of influence in modern american history. The economy, the collapsing border around the verge of world war three. We've got chinese and russian planes skirting our air defense zone in Alaska right now, and we're supposed to be thanking this loser? He can plan a big wet one on my rump. He does not owe anything.

And not to mention, the media is still lying. I promise. By the way, I've got some explosive stuff on the secret Service thing. Stay tuned. I just. There's a lot going on. We got a lot to squeeze in to. An hour show today. I'm a little too excited. There are two massive cover ups going on right now. Number one, the media. The disgusting, filth bag, commie media, which whenever you think, oh, my gosh, this is a new low, they certainly can't get lower than that. We get from basement to sub basement to, like, freaking Hades. Like, you can't get any lower. Right? The media now is retconning Kamala Harris like you've never seen. You know what red conning is the best example of? You ever see a Hollywood movie like Halloween where Michael Myers is dead, and then they retcon it. They just do another movie and pretend the other movie didn't happen. Here. Here's the definition. Retconning to revise retrospectively, typically by introducing a new piece of information that imposes a different interpretation on previously described events.

That's what they're doing right now with Kamala Harris.

Occam's razor is rewriting the past despite the fact that the past happened. The Michael Myers dying in the movie thing happened in the movie, and they just don't know that didn't happen.

The media is an effing international embarrassment in the United States. It is at the point now, whatever they tell you, whatever they tell you, assume. Assume the opposite is true. I had some guy reach out to me last night from the New Yorker. Hey, Dan, I'm a fact checker for the New York. I didn't even read the rest of his email. I responded back, fact checker for the. Oh, man, do I have this on the phone? I would. Let me see. I want to show you this. Fact check this how you respond to these absolute loser dip shits. They deserve nothing from you. They deserve no respect. I want to show you so you don't think, oh, here it is.

They're good. Is it here? I'm going to cover his email there a little bit so I don't out this guy. A fact checker from New York magazine. Ha ha. Laughing emoji guy. That's all these people get. They get no answer for me. You people suck.

Here's what I mean.

Here's the disgusting filth bag communist media. They don't care. They're humiliating themselves. They don't care. Their kids. Their kids say they're adopted. They don't care. They don't care that their parents won't acknowledge that these are their sons and daughters. They have no human dignity at all. Hot tip news busters. I want you to watch this absolutely amazing cut that went viral this morning of the media telling you Kamala Harris is the border czar, which she was, and now telling you what they told you was, in fact, fake. In the worst act of retconning I have ever seen or attempted retconning. Watch this. Orders are, Vice President Harris was not a border czar. Meantime, vice president and border czar Kamala Harris facing some backlash. What he said about Harris and immigration was not true. She was never appointed border czar. And this will be her first visit to the US Mexico border region since she was appointed as the border czar by President Biden. People gonna have to counter the misinformation. You already hear folks talking about the border czar. She wasn't the border czar.

Christopher Wray
President Biden tapped Kamala Harris. Vice President Kamala Harris to be the border czar.

Dan Bongino
Now, she wasn't the border czar. That's what Republicans labeled her. They were very critical of Kamala Harris, especially in her role as border czar. Now, what she's up against is folks lying about her border record calling her a border czar. Kamala Harris, who was appointed as the border czar. The Biden team didn't declare her the border czar. They wanted her to work on kind of the root causes of immigration. There has been so much criticism against Kamala Harris. You know, she was the border czar.

Christopher Wray
Calling her sort of the border czar, which wasn't necessarily the case.

Dan Bongino
So the border, if they weren't planning to address it in a major way, do not make her your border czar. She met with some of the northern triangle countries, but nothing has effectively changed.

Please.

To the dipshit, loser. Life. Zero. Skell, idiot, moron. Pieces of garbage in that video have some dignity.

Scales. A cop term, by the way, for absolute losers. Zeros. Degenerates. Have some human dignity. Please. Don't you have kids? Have. Do you realize you're being recorded. Did I see Ron Flip arouski on that thing, too? The Twinkie eating loser.

Have some dignity, bro.

Of course they don't.

So I said, there are two massive cover ups going on right now.

By the way, how Vita, how long do you think before 51 intelligence officials say that Kamala wasn't the border zone? She's actually stunned that letter hasn't come out yet. 51 intelligence officials and Nobel economists have said that Kamala Harris was not. Borders are folks.

Everything these dip shits tell you, throw it in the garbage. They have no human dignity at all. So they're trying to cover up and retcon borders. Liberal San Francisco. This thing is amazing.

This is incredible. Look at, here's flip Orewski. There he is. There's flip Orewski. Look at his slob. You ever see this guy on Twitter again? A guy. Imagine being this guy's parents. Holy Moses, folks, these are massive cover ups. They are going to try to steal the election again. The biggest source of misinformation in the world today, in the world is the liberal american media. In the world, you can trust, like soviet era Pravda more than these people. Here's the second cover up going on. You can see in front of your face, Joe Biden left the race because he is severely cognitively impaired. And Obama and Pelosi told him to get out. Everybody knows it.

Not Kareem Jean Pierre. The only person asking any questions is Peter Doocy at Fox. So this happened yesterday where Kareem Jean Pierre, unbelievably, without a shred of human dignity, again, is sticking to the story that we're trying to save democracy. This is incredible. Take a look. It would seem that people in this White House knew that President Biden was slipping and it was hidden from the american people. So who ordered White House officials to cover up a declining president? I know that that is a narrative that you love.

No, no, no, wait. He did a press conference at NATO. I'm in it. There's all these things that I need to finish, and then ten days later, I'm dropping out. Okay, okay. You're asking me like, two multiple questions here. Let me. Wait, wait. First of all, there's been no cover up. I want to be very clear about that. I know that's the narrative that you all want. Wait, no, no, no. You can't. Okay, I've been with President Biden for five years. Are you gonna let me answer the question? Would you at least admit that the debate is, can I answer the question? Yes. All right. Are you sure? Yes. Okay.

Your first question, it is not a cover up.

I know. That is the narrative that you all want. It is not.

Holy Moses. This is happening right now.

Folks, here's the sad part.

There are a number of a lot of Americans out there who just get their news and snapshots and soundbites because that's what politics are.

Sadly, they actually believe this. I'm not kidding. You'd be like, no way. People still trust the media. A small portion of America still believes the media does journalism. How about transparency, propaganda? You got it. I know you're pissed. I'm pissed, too. But there are people out there who believe this. They woke up today believing Joe Biden saved democracy despite last week saying he was going to save democracy by staying in. He got out because he sucks and Obama and Pelosi forced him out. That's it. That's the only reason.

Second, there are people waking up today, shockingly, who believe Kamala Harris wasn't the border czar, despite being appointed the freaking border czar. I played it for you yesterday.

There are also people waking up this morning in one of the one of the most disgusting scandals I've seen in a long time.

Brian Kilmeade at Fox and Friends, he's a friend of mine. He's a good man.

We don't agree on every single political position, but that's not my prerequisite for being a friend.

Kilmeade said yesterday Kamala Harris chose to skip the Netanyahu speech for a college sorority speech, which is what she did.

The absolute scumbags in the left wing media went out there and said that Brian Kilmeade said that she was going to a colored sorority.

You can just go listen to it yourself.

He said, college clear as day, folks. These people are filth.

Brian is a better man than me, said on Fox and Friends this morning, he forgave the guy. I forgive no one, the loser. I think he was at playbook or a contributor to playbook who did that?

You're disgusting. Filth. You know exactly what you did, you race hustling losers. Folks, this is going to be the ugliest hundred and two days left. I think it's 102 or 101 days to the election you have ever seen in your life.

Buckle up. I tweeted that out the other day. Get ready for horrors you have not seen before.

I'm telling you right now, you think this has been a crazy two weeks.

Murders, assassination attempts, VP announcements, conventions, Biden dropping out, Kamala race hustling and all this other stuff. You think this is bad now? You ain't seen anything yet.

Get ready quick.

As if this news cycle wasn't crazy enough, I can tell because the live stream audience is freaking bananas. We've been the number one, two or three live stream in the freaking world every day. I appreciate you being here because we're breaking news on the secret service story that no one else can because we still maintain an extensive contact network with both former and active agents.

Christopher Wray, who's the FBI director, not the secret service director, but was testifying up on Capitol Hill yesterday. I don't trust this guy as far as I could throw him. Ok, let's just period, full stop that, ok, for a second.

I do not trust anything he says.

I have confirmed, however, through independent sources. I do trust that some of what was said is in fact true because I said it before he said it.

And I think we penned them in.

Christopher Wray was up on Capitol Hill yesterday, and just so you know, there's a memorandum, what they call an MOU, a memorandum of understanding. It's an administrative document between the Secret Service and the FBI. If there is an assassination attempt on a Secret Service protective, like the president, the FBI has jurisdiction over the investigation. They, I don't think it includes former presidents, but I think it was expanded in the case of this. Okay. There's a reason for that that makes sense. If the Secret Service screwed up, they're never going to investigate themselves. Honestly, as you saw from Kim Cheadle's testimony the other day, the disgraced former director. I don't trust the FBI anymore. Having said that, there should be congressional oversight and an independent commission, which I think is going to happen.

However, what Ray said yesterday, I've confirmed independently, I told you this last week, the shooter, the assassin, did an extensive amount of what we call in the business, pre op surveillance, pre operation surveillance. How in the hell was this guy not detected? I told you, I think Tuesday of last week, you're at least a week ahead of the news cycle that the guy, the shooter's cell phone pinged, I think July 7 at the site, about a week out from his attempted assassination and the murder of Corey comparator, that he was there scouting it out now, where he may have remained undetected, not forgivable, but harder to detect. A week out. Granted, it also came out yesterday. What I, which I can confirm, that he was flying the drone just a few hours before Donald Trump was on stage. Where the hell was the advance team?

The advance team that's there in advance.

How did you miss this?

Listen to this, director, let me go back to where Mister Bishop was. Tell me about the drone.

Like you wanted to fill us in on that. Fill us in.

Christopher Wray
So we have recovered a drone that the shooter appears to have used. It's being exploited and analyzed by the FBI lab. The drone was recovered in his vehicle. So at the time of the shooting, the drone was in his vehicle with the controller.

In addition, our investigation has uncovered.

Dan Bongino
Do you know what time of day he flew it and if he flew it on the day of.

Christopher Wray
So in addition, it appears that around 03:50 p.m. 04:00 in that window on the day of the shooting, that the shooter was flying the drone around the area.

2 hours, eleven minutes. And I want to be clear, but when I say the area, not over the stage and that part of the area itself, but I would say about 200 yards, give or take, away from that, we think, but we do not know. So again, this is one of these things that's qualified because of our ongoing review that he was live streaming, you know, viewing the footage from that. Again, about eleven minutes in around the 354 o'clock pm range, 2 hours before.

Dan Bongino
He'S flying a drone in the vicinity.

Christopher Wray
Of the railroad about 200 yards away.

Dan Bongino
Yes, that's important information. What about the bombs that we've heard about in the shooter's car?

Christopher Wray
So again, the FBI lab is exploiting those explosive devices.

Dan Bongino
There were.

Christopher Wray
We've recovered three devices, two in his vehicle and one back in his residence.

Dan Bongino
Folks, I'm going to take a short break here.

I'm going to give you the inside baseball of how, under this current leadership of the secret Service, Ron Roe, they cannot protect the president or vice president or former President Trump right now. They just, they can't be trusted. I'm sorry to tell you that, but they can't.

I've got guys reaching out to me left and right saying it's never going to happen under this leadership because the things they want to do to secure them, the management is going to shut down.

This is just an abomination. How did the advance team miss this?

The guy was flying a drone and pre op surveilling the site. The advanced team should have been out there a week in advance. For a site this size. They should have been out there all day. How did they miss this? Hey, there's a guy with a drone, 2 hours before he gets up on stage.

How did you miss this, folks? If you weren't following the news, a big hit to the us dollar just came in June when Saudi Arabia didn't renew its petrodollar deal with the United States. Since 1974, Saudi Arabia sold oil largely in us dollars. That was huge for our global economic dominance. Now they want options other than the us dollar. So I ask you, supply demand, right? Less demand for the us dollar. What happens to the us dollar? Look, it's reasons like this. I've used birch gold often. I buy my gold from them and why I feel they're a valuable resource to you as well.

Message and data rates apply. Thanks birch gold folks. That was shocking to hear yesterday. It confirms what I told you last week. That there was an extensive amount of pre operational surveillance done by a 20 year old assassin. Now here's the kick in the balls I can't figure out and give you a sane answer to.

When I was an agent with the service for twelve years. When you were doing a site with thousands of people in a massive outdoor rally with legions of line of sight problems, access problems, all kinds of tactical, medical, chembio, ied, airborne, not so much fire issues, because it was outdoors. Those are the big six. This is a minimum of a week in advance. A week, seven days. Not a work week, five days. This is a seven day advance.

What I can't get out of my head is this guy was at the site multiple times. A week out. Right? A week out and on day off, to be precise.

And then day of 2 hours before running a drone. And then the entire time roaming around the exterior of the site with a range finder. And you've got people on tv, former agents, humiliating themselves, saying, well, threats don't mean suspicious. You're suspicious and you're a threat because of suspicious activities. Please never ever go back in the secret service again. If you're going to say stupid shit like that in tv. And please stay off tv, I'm not kidding. You're embarrassing yourself and everyone around you.

This is not forgivable. Stop trying to defend what happened.

Don't make me go back there and clean this mess. Up one day.

You need really, you need people right now to clean this up or someone is going to get killed.

Are you stupid?

How did you miss this guy flying a drone?

Folks, this is important. And I tell you how this works.

The massive number of people that showed up at that rally, it's a big rally. It's not a grip and grin. With 50 or 60 people, a president comes in, shakes hands with donors and leaves. I've done those events, too. Honestly, they're pretty easy. They're typically done at homes of rich donors. It happens. Democrats and Republicans, that's a different point altogether. This is a large outdoor rally in an open field with massive line of sight issues.

The advanced Secret Service team should have been out there a minimum of 8 hours in advance.

How the hell did you miss this guy?

Folks, I'm really nervous right now for this guy, for them, Donald Trump, that is, and candidly, Biden and Harris, too. I don't want to see anybody get hurt.

That's not what this show is about.

This is just disturbing. And then you promote the guy who was running daily operations for protections, to act there, for protection. To acting director, I'm asking President Trump as a friend. You get in there, we got to make some massive changes. I'm happy to help. I'll consult for you. I'll do whatever you want, but there are massive numbers of people that have to go. You are in real danger with this.

Also, another thing Ray said in that clip, I'm sorry, I know it's been a few minutes, but another thing, you're not wasting your time here. I told you a week ago, and a lot of people attacked me for it. It's fine part of the business. My skin isn't that thick, but we're getting there. I told you this was designed to not just be an attack on President Trump, but an attack on you. This was designed to be a mass casualty event. Can we now confirm that what Ray is saying is true? I told you what a week ago, before Ray said it, there were bombs and explosives designed to kill other people who were evacuating the event in a mad panic after he shot up the crowd. This kid didn't expect to be taken out so quickly by a counter sniper team. This was designed to be a thousand times worse.

This was a murder scene that would have been a mass murder scene.

His initial plan, which is what I'm getting from multiple people, was to kill Trump, kill people on the stage, probably take out some secret service, kill people in the crowd, and then detonate the explosives as everybody tried to run to their car.

I'm not expecting any apologies for all the people who attacked me for telling you the truth. You can find a new show, though. You want to be lied to, go elsewhere, want to be ahead of the news cycle, you'll stay here.

Ray's not lying about that. I told you last week that was designed to be a mass casualty event. Now Ray absolutely sucks and said some really stupid things I'm going to get to yesterday. But I've got some other questions.

Was there a TFR, a temporary flight restriction over the site? If there was, what was done about it? How are we securing the airspace? Hours out from drone pre op surveillance? Are we doing anything? What are we doing? Are we watching the skies? Was there an air picture?

These are the kind of things I'm happy to consult on. Swear me in. I'm ready to go.

I want to know exactly what the flight restriction was.

How did we miss a vehicle sweep? Has anybody else thought of this? There were bombs in the car.

What are you guys in the chat thinking? You thinking the same thing I'm thinking? I'm looking in the chat right now. How the hell the vehicle would explosives get anywhere close to the site?

Was there a vehicle sweep? Was anyone sweeping the parking lot with explosives detection dogs that would have sat on this thing in a heartbeat? They sit when they see a bomb or sniff a bomb.

How did we miss that?

The guy was there hours in advance.

All you had to have was a k nine EOD team.

They would have shut that thing down immediately, folks. There were so many layers of failure here, it's. I'm having a hard time as a former agent explaining to you how this event even happened.

What's your counter drone posture right now, folks? We're looking at a drone. In this case, from a surveillance perspective. He was surveilling the site.

You think there aren't people right now going, wait, listen, this kid got a drone up at the site. Nobody stopped him. I'm just going to get a drone over the site to drop a grenade somewhere. Oh, my gosh. You may be giving them idea, giving them ideas. Are you watching what's happening in Ukraine right now?

They already have these ideas.

You're telling me the United States Secret Service, with a $3 billion budget.

I know they have a program, but apparently it wasn't robust enough to secure the skies for Donald Trump. Just a couple hours out and a week out.

I want to see exactly what that counter drone program is. Because then team up to snuff swear me in, man. I'm ready to go.

And again, what the hell are we doing about pre op surveillance?

Why didn't we have local teams out there surveilling this site and advancing the site? Who would have noticed? Hey, there's a guy at the site doing his own advance work.

Unforgivable.

The layers of failure here are legion.

And nobody, nobody should be on tv defending this in any way, shape or form. And if you're going to do it, you know I'm talking to. Lose my number. Don't ever call me again.

You do not belong on television going out there defending a failure. So it happens again.

Lose my number. Don't ever text or call me again.

Ever.

You're dead to me.

All right, quick break and then Christopher Ray. Here's where the Christopher Ray again. This guy is just absolutely incompetent.

One of my friends over WMAL is telling me. Yeah, I saw on Twitter this morning.

I got a busy broadcasting schedule today doing like ten shows. I said, have yourself some coffee, preferably a blackout. I had the cinnamon french toast this morning, folks, I'm in a real struggle right now. It's legit. I don't know what to do. It's a real struggle every day. Even with the news cycle, I'm like, cinnamon french toast, dark chocolate, cinnamon french toast, dark chocolate, wrestling every day with it. It's a real struggle. I don't know what to do.

Blackout coffee uses premium grade coffee beans. Folks, this is the best stuff in the business. I'm proud to recommend them. Love blackout coffee. Skip the long lines at the store. Order online. Just try it out. That's all I'm asking. You guys tried the blueberry crumble, too? Did you like it?

Switch to blackout. Thanks a lot, folks. Appreciate your patience. Okay, back to the show. Here's where Christopher Wray absolutely humiliated himself again, folks. I do not, I do not, I do not. Can we say this with a gavel drop? I do not in any way, shape or form support violating the fourth 4th amendment, the Bill of Rights, all kinds of different amendments, by the way, and spying on american citizens, I do not support it. I have fought against it. I've had fights on my radio show. You get that?

But here's my problem. If we are going to do FISA 702 and give a backdoor away to spying Americans, which I categorically disagree, with no exceptions. You want to spy on Americans? Get a freaking warrant.

But if we're going to do it, you think we catch one mother?

At least one?

We don't catch anybody.

I thought they told us we needed this metadata thing because, you know, you got threats out there. It's such a dangerous one. Yes, you guys do. Shit. Here's Christopher Wray yesterday up on the hill. Asked a pretty solid question by Matt Gaetz. Hey, man, was this guy on your radar? Is anybody on anybody's radar? Check this out.

Matt Gaetz
Was the shooter on the FBI's radar? In any way prior to the assassination attempt.

Christopher Wray
We did not have any information about the shooter. He was not in our holdings before the shooting.

Matt Gaetz
No communication in any chance chat rooms? No Cis or confidential human sources have any interaction with.

Dan Bongino
No.

Christopher Wray
We've run a thorough search for the subject through all of our holdings, and he was not in them anywhere.

Matt Gaetz
Were there any FBI agents or informants present at the Trump rally in Butler?

Christopher Wray
Not to my knowledge.

Dan Bongino
My Bongino report mug. You see that?

That's where you can find Evita's show, by the way, rumble.com report, which, by the way, was number 47 in news podcasts, right ahead of the great verdict with Ted Cruz show. Show's only been up a week. Star is born.

What was that song from the movie with Lady Gaga?

I'm on the deep end.

I sound just like her, don't I? Star is born. Hopefully I won't turn into the drunk like the Bradley Cooper character. Remember, he pees himself on stage.

Well, Vita and I. Peter's got her own husband, Michael said. But they were married in the movie. And I'm sure Michael won't be peeing himself on stage. But this is great news, number 47, folks. Are we ever going to find anyone ever?

How that. Good point. Yes. Justin says we will. Moms for liberty, you are definitely under radar. Grandma on January 6. No diggity. No doubt you are definitely on the radar, too. Actual killers and assassins. Not so sure you understand. The secret Service as a network of field offices around the world, around the entire globe, designed specifically to detect threats in advance. How do we keep missing people? You know what the answer is? Everyone's distracted. The secret Service is distracted with criminal cases. They should not be working. They should be doing protection. They should not be doing that. Stop it. There is no reason to do it. The FBI is distracted with grandma on January 6. Moms for liberty, school board parents, pro life advocates, and they're not doing anything. That's why they can't detect a single threat until someone murders someone on stage and shoots Donald Trump in the face.

They were all distracted.

Tickles McGroyd, don't quit your day. Now, listen, I told you, my posture on singing. I recognize the fact that my voice is shit. I just don't care. I like singing, and it's my show. I'm on that deep. That's for you, tickles. Just for you. As an encore performance.

Are you a little crazy? Yes. A lot of crazy. Oh, you have no idea. If you only knew everything. You think it's worse?

I want to see this, too. I'm going to vo this at voiceover. I mean, I'm going to talk about here. Here's some new body cam Fox News obtained.

Folks, this is how poorly done this advance was. They realized they had a line of sight issue on the roof. For those of you listening on Apple and Spotify, they realized they've got a line of sight problem on the roof. There wasn't even a way to access the roof in case someone got up there and murdered someone and shot at President Trump. They had to go find the ladder.

I mean, it's one thing to not secure an area. It's an entirely other issue to not secure it and then let someone access the unsecured line of sight and then not have a way to access the line of sight after a bad guy accesses it before you. I mean, I can't, again, as a former agent, I can't even express to you in words how big of a security failure this abomination was.

If you're listening on Apple and Spotify, check that out on rumble. You'll see the body cam yourself. They can't. There's no way up there. It's not the locals job to figure that out. It's the Secret Service.

Oh, my gosh.

Where the hell was the advanced team for all this?

Folks, this guy's still in danger, man.

And there are a lot of agents really pissed off right now because this isn't their fault. This is the fault of the people on the ground and the managers who let this thing happen and the managers in charge. Now here's Ray yesterday, again, confirming a story I've only had to tell you 15 times. It's not an irrelevant detail. There was no ladder used by the bad guy.

It's important because there's an online conspiracy theory that is false.

There's nothing that's going to make it true that some insider put the ladder there for the killer to use to get on the roof. The killer did not use a ladder. I don't know how many different ways I got to say this. I don't trust Ray at all. Of course. But he's not lying about this because I told you before he told you. And if you're going to call this a lie, then you're going to call me a liar and I'm telling you it's the truth. Check this out.

Christopher Wray
One thing I can give an update on, which is pretty fresh here. We had some conversations with some of the members about the access to the roof and the ladder. And so forth and our evidence response teams and their forensic collection, we now believe that the subject climbed onto the roof using some mechanical equipment on the ground and vertical piping on the side of the AGR building.

In other words, we do not believe he used a ladder to get up there.

Dan Bongino
Okay. Even a blind squirrel, as I said, gets a nut once in a while, folks. This guy is terrible, though. You cannot trust Christopher, a and you should trust nothing. If you hear it from me, I'm telling you it's true. I've double and triple vetted it. If you then hear it from Ray, believe me, you don't have to believe. Right. But again, I think there's only so much Christopher Wray can lie about, and I don't trust this guy as far as I can throw him. That is, in fact, true. It's important because people are online spinning your wheels to get you off the target. Please don't fall for it. There is a very serious question yet to be answered that a lot of people want to distract you from who are pretending to be part of our movement.

And it's this.

Who the hell was this kid working with?

Who was he working with? They want to get you involved in irrelevant details. Someone put a lot of there for to get you off the big question. You see what they're doing? It's actually very clever.

The big question is huge. Who was this kid working with? Who was that cell phone that showed up at his house and then showed up in DC?

A lot of people don't want you asking that question. We're not letting that go.

Here was Trump on Fox and Friends this morning? President TruMp, excuse me, on Fox and Friends this morning, Thursday. If you're listening to the show, we are live right now. If we're not live, we'll tell you. Sometimes we do a live premiere, but today's show, actually, about 99% of our shows are live.

Here he is on Fox and Friends this morning, confirming another detail. I told you a week ago about this massive security failure, folks. At every single site for President Trump, President Biden, the first lady, there is a room called the holding room. It is not complicated. It is there to hold the president or the protective in. There's a problem. There's a staff delay. A microphone doesn't work. The holding room is used all the time. Having a president delayed walking out on stage is nothing new. It's not even remotely controversial. You have no idea how many times I had to tell the sack, the special agent in charge when I was the lead advance agent on a trip, hey, we've got to hold for a few minutes. You either typically hold in the limo or you hold in the holding room. The fact that President Trump was brought out on stage to be shot in the face, no one can explain. It was a stunning lapse of judgment. That's, I mean, negligence beyond belief. Here's President Trump confirming again what I told you a week ago, that this holding room exists. He calls it the ten tier. It's really a holding area, and he's wondering why he was let out on stage again. We asked you this a week ago. Now you know it's true. Check this out.

Donald Trump
But the tent was, you know, safe. Nobody knew you were there, and they shouldn't have let me go on the stage now. They just weren't communicating properly with the local police. Different groups of people knew there was some nut job on the roof and he was up there. And the one woman, a real trumper, she got Trump all over and she's screaming, there's a guy with a gun on the roof. And that was, you know, quite a bit before I walked up to the stage. And then you had the local policeman who, it looks like, he got up there and he saw the guy and then he fell off the roof. And what happened to him? Why didn't he start screaming this again? So there are many people, but the communication was bad. And, you know, oftentimes, like if there's lightning or thunder or big rains or there's a problem, they'll say, sir, could you wait 15 minutes, please? Or could you wait ten minutes? That happens a lot. Or there's a crowd somewhere.

Dan Bongino
Mister President, I was just going to inject. You just mentioned the weather. It sounds like from the reporting over the last 24 hours, there was supposed to be somebody on that roof, but the person was not on the roof because apparently it was too hot, you know, so if there's lightning or thunder, sometimes they tell me to wait in the holding room. Happens all the time. We're delayed like 15 minutes.

Thank you, mister President.

Again, you're a week and a half ahead of the news cycle.

Do you understand why this is so important?

You don't have to be a Secret Service agent. You don't have to have been a cop. You don't have to have been the military.

You could be a librarian, you could be a plumber, you'd be an H vac repairman. You're all very smart and understand, it's not that there was no other option. This is what's killing me and I cannot understand the stunning lack of common sense and judgment. They had an easy option.

President Trump knows about it because he's been put in the holding room, as he just said, repeatedly, for things like lightning, thunderstorms, technical problems. It happens all the time.

It's not that they walked him outstage because they were running away from a chasing grizzly. It's not that they walked him out on stage because someone was shooting from behind. There was nowhere else to go. They walked him into a gunshot wound to the head and created a murder scene because they didn't want the president to wait five minutes until they could mitigate a threat. The guy on the freaking roof.

And you want to go on tv and defend this as former agents? Are you sure you understand by doing that, that this, you are creating a perilous situation? The Secret Service won't survive. I'm telling you right now, there are members of Congress right now who want to see the Secret Service lose everything. Protection investigations. Do you understand how devastating this is? None of the protectees trust you guys anymore.

I'm trying to help you, but I can't help you if you still got people who refuse to be helped.

They could have kept him there.

There was an easy option. Man, I didn't mention a holding room last white last week to sound like, oh, let me throw some jargon and lingo so I sound like I'm in the know and I'm buffing out what we used to say in law enforcement. I mentioned it to express to you what I just said. There was an easy option to save Corey comparator's life and President Trump from getting shot in the face. Just put him in the freaking holding room.

You wouldn't have walked your kid out on stage to this ever. But you walked the president out there.

Absolutely unforgivable.

And by the way, do not trust Ray. That's not to say that some of the facts he put out there yesterday are inaccurate. Said even a blind squirrel. Right.

And he's going to be limited because there's multiple people who know things. So it's going to be very difficult to lie and mislead.

I do not trust Ray.

And if Ray is going to tell us, you know what, this was a lone actor investigations over tomorrow. I don't believe anything. I need evidence. I'm not going to put out anything until I know it. But this is awfully suspicious, folks. And I don't trust the FBI as far as I could throw them, and that ain't far.

Why? Because they've got a history of lying J. Six moms for liberty, Spygate, collusion, impeachment, Ukraine, the laptop, 51 intel officials. What else do you need to hear? You're going to trust the FBI. Are you kidding me?

Here's Matt Gaetz yesterday. Did a great job at the hearing. Congratulations to him.

When people do good things, great when they don't.

Gaetz asks the FBI director, Ray, pretty common sense question. You're the FBI director. I assume at some point you're briefing the president or you're talking to the president about threats to our national security. If you're not, you're not doing your job. How is it you didn't notice Biden's cognitive decline? I want you to again witness the shady answer. And this is why we can't trust this guy. We need an independent, fully vetted commission looking at everything the FBI does in this assassination case, because we simply don't trust them. And you shouldn't because of answers like this. Check this out.

Matt Gaetz
So when did you notice his decline?

Christopher Wray
In my interactions, in my role, all my interactions with the current president have been completely professional.

Matt Gaetz
Right, but I mean, his. The cognitive decline. I'm not saying he treated you unprofessionally, just maybe not picking things up as quickly as he used to.

Christopher Wray
Again, I don't meet with him very often, but what you're describing is not something that I've observed during my interactions with him.

Matt Gaetz
I mean, we've had it observed so often that the ranking member and Mister Schiff on this committee have said that he could no longer continue as a candidate. And so since you're the FBI director, I was just sort of wondering, like, who's running the country?

If something. Yeah, if something bad happened, you'd have to go brief President Biden about it right now, God forbid.

Christopher Wray
And I. On any number of occasions, I have briefed the president. And as I said, those briefings have all been uneventful and unremarkable.

Matt Gaetz
Oh, I can imagine them being uneventful.

Dan Bongino
Good job, Congressman Gateshead, folks. You can't trust this guy. Evita's telling me, sitting there during the break, right? He's telling me, sitting over there, he's like, you don't forget the traditional Catholics, the Latin mass mAgA supporters, documents being put out eliminating employees from contention. If they're trump supporters, you're going to trust this guy? Are you serious? Anyone in the chat? Bot chino, bot Gino.

We need a.

Can you guys do, like a bot geno signal? You know, I did the bat signal, but like a bot geno Boccino on the case. Does anybody out there trust the FBI? Yes, you trust the FBI in the chat and no for you do not trust the FBI. Boccino on the case. Let me just put my two cent in. I'm worth 10,000 votes myself because it's my show. No, no. Christopher Ray didn't notice the cognitive decline my twelve year old did. Dad, what's wrong with the president?

Scott's the FBI director. Really?

Chris from Rumble? Did we break the chat again? Chris is like, no man. Rumble cloud. We're working on it. By the way, get your business over to rumble cloud. He'd love been working hard on that. Get away from this crap with Amazon Aws. Knock you offline one day like they did parlor. Go over to rumble cloud. We'd love to have you. Folks, Donald Trump watched this yesterday. Here he is on true social.

I use it a lot. Love true social. He says he watched the hearing about Christopher Wray with that stupid answer, and he thinks Christopher Ray should resign. Folks, if Donald Trump wins, and I hope he does, vote like your life depends on it, the first thing he's got to do, he's going to have to fire another FBI director. This guy is an absolute train wreck. Are you kidding? You didn't observe the degeneration of Joe Biden's cognitive mental condition. And you're the FBI director. That's called the Federal Bureau of Investigations, not the Federal Bureau of COVID ups.

It's going to have to fire another FBI director, and I support it 100%.

Folks, Operation Retcon has been initiated. Michael Myers is back from the dead. They are rewriting the Hollywood script in one of the most amazing acts of meat. And believe me, I don't mean that in a qualitatively good way of media malfeasance I've ever seen. Here's John Lafever on Twitter. This is just yesterday. The media fix for Kamala Harris is in. First, axios deletes, calling Kamala Harris the border czar. Then govtrack, which tracks voting behavior, deletes, calling Harris the most liberal senator. This is the same day, man for the commie Pravda, embarrassing, humiliating, garbage can media.

Then Kamala Harris was a shining example of Dei. They're now calling, now, calling her a Dei candidate is false and racist. I'm not calling her a Dei candidate. Joe Biden did. I'm saying nothing of this. I don't know Kamala Harris at all, and I'm not a Democrat.

Here's axios, who had labeled Kamala accurately a border czar that retroactively retconned their own article. Look on the screen right here. The article has been retconned and clarified to note that Axios was among the news outlets that incorrectly labeled Harris a border czar back in 2021.

Here's Gov track govtrack, who ranked her the most liberal leading center. How to get rid of that? It was, quote, removed. Gee, wonder what happened. Michael Myers is back.

This is all in the same day.

Here's Joe Biden. You racist republicans calling Kamala Harris a dei higher. I'm not calling Kamala Harris anything. I don't know her.

Stop with the bullshit. Even people on our team, guys, you don't want to sound racist. Who the is sounding racist?

Joe Biden says he's considering four black women to be his running mate. He set the criteria, not me.

Oh, my gosh.

Here's Andre Bick from USA Today again.

Dude, do you have kids? Aren't you embarrassed doing a fact check on Kamala Harris's border work was on root causes. She wasn't in charge. Fact check. Andre, really? Do your parents tell people they have no living children? Is this, you know this is going to live forever on the Internet, right?

My gosh. I know you don't have a reputation to save, but really, I want you to watch this classic. Here's nor O'Donnell interviewing Kamala Harris. This is years ago saying exactly what I just told you. Kamala Harris is a San Francisco liberalization period, full stop. By any objective measure.

It's an opinion married to objective fact.

She supports government run health care, defunding the police, abolishing ice, opening the borders, universal welfare, massive tax hikes. She supports these things. You can look, she has voted for many of them.

Here she is on CB's when she's confronted with the fact that she is the most liberal person or was in the United States Senate, I, and trying to blame it on Mike Pence. Check this out. You're very different in the policies that you've supported in the past. You're considered the most liberal United States senator.

I, somebody said that and it actually was Mike Pence on the debate stage.

Yeah, well, actually, the nonpartisan gov track has rated you as the most liberal senator.

You supported the Green New Deal. You supported Medicare for All, bot Gino on the case. 99.5%, 2392 votes. Nobody trusts the FBI to run this investigation. We think alike.

Never lose those polls.

It's not me saying she's the most liberal senator. It's gov track, which has now deleted it. Michael Myers is alive again. But he's dead. No, he's alive. Just going to pretend that movie didn't happen.

Here's Cacklin. Kamala Harris laughing. Kamala, she thought it was hilarious. On the Ellen show, jokes about President Trump being assassinated. Wasn't he just shot in the ear? This is before that, of course. But they thought this was really hilarious. You did this on a conservative cable news network you'd never be allowed back on again. Check this out.

Christopher Wray
If you had to be stuck in.

Dan Bongino
An elevator with either President Trump, Mike Pence, or Jeff Sessions, who would it be?

Does one of us have to come out alive?

There's the cackler.

Laughing. Kamala. There she is, folks. Don't take this election for granted. The media is already trying to steal it. They are going to retcon everything.

I want to end the show today as I began. Okay. Don't let them engage in these cover ups. Make sure you expose Kamala was the border czar. Every time you tweet, post on X or Facebook. Make sure you refer to her as border czar Kamala Harris because that's exactly what she was. And do not let them cover up the fact that Kamala Harris lied about Joe Biden's condition. There are people already out there. Karl Rove wrote an op ed. Oh, let this go. It doesn't resonate. It does resonate. We need to marry her to the Biden agenda. And the fact that she covered it up, it does resonate. It is your job out there. You have social media accounts that are very powerful.
