Dan Bongino
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. Oh, my gosh. Do I have a weekend update for you. I'm gonna have to make it short, but listen, this is your home for breaking news.
Sadly, sadly, sadly. Why would you say that, Dan, about your own show? Because again, something we passed on to you almost two weeks ago now is now filtering into the mainstream media as breaking news. Why is that sad? It's sad because the Secret Service has had two weeks to formulate a story when if they just would have reported on what I told them two weeks ago, that's now breaking news, we would be ahead of the game.
I'm not kidding. I'm not trying to be a dick. I'm telling you the truth. It is really sad that this stuff comes out two weeks later. Breaking news, which you can go back and listen to on my show two weeks ago and nobody ran with it.

My patriotsupply.com. thank you, my patriot supply. All right, fellas, folks, no bullshit. Let's get this right out of the way. I got another explosive tip this morning from a trusted whistleblower. I'm sure it'll be reported two weeks later by the mainstream media. As I keep saying, media, folks, get your pens out. Then you can report it as your own story. I really don't care. I just wish you'd be more timely. Folks.
I'm getting from a trusted source that the Secret Service counter sniper teams that are supposed to go out to a site that a protective is visiting a week, maybe two weeks out depending on the complexity of the site and do an advance, security advanced. None of this is hard. I don't, is none of this is classified information.
They go there and say we got a high point over there. High point over there. I mean, at a minimum you should be there four or five days in advance to go look around, do your meetings with the local police.
I got from a source this morning that the Secret Service counter sniper teams for the butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt and murder of Cory comparator, that they were only approved the day before.
Let that just let that settle in for a minute.
Outdoor site, thousands of people, open air, line of sight issues everywhere, water towers, buildings, line of sight issues all over the place.
Unsecured field, unsecured ground outside of your perimeter and the counter sniper team to mitigate a long range threat was apparently only approved the day before. Now, I had a very, very nice conversation with some people who are very interested in getting to the bottom of this. And by the way, I want to applaud a number of people up on the hill who have been, been looking into this deeply. But I got to tell you, a guy who is impressed me with his follow up because listen, the fact is, a fact is Senator Johnson, man, we did that show on Friday within, ladies and gentlemen, Justin. Am I, am I messing with him? Within minutes on the phone. Tell me what happened, where we went. I was very impressed.
Thank you.
Has assured me he's going to look into this.
There is going to be some email trail of when that counter sniper team was authorized to discharge that Butler county event. Ladies and gentlemen, if it was the day before and they had no opportunity whatsoever to advance the site, it'll explain everything, including this video here that has been blowing up the Internet, aired on ABC this week. Let me explain what this is. This is the Beaver County Emergency services team, essentially their SWAT team. They did an interview this weekend on ABC that's been lighting the freaking Internet on fire, saying something so unbelievable that people can't believe this actually happened, that they never had communications with the Secret Service and the sod, special operations team, CS CAT, any of it, and that they barely met them on game day alone.
Now, does the story make sense?
The same headquarters guy, that's the acting director right now, was the deputy director when this decision was made. How did this guy get a promotion? Ron Roe, he's going to be up on Capitol Hodama, Senator Johnson, everyone else, I appreciate your interest in this. Add this to your questions.
When was the CS secret service counter sniper team authorized to be at that site? They'll remind them they're under oath and tell them they better produce some evidence, not an opinion. Well, we kind of saw. No, no, show me the emails. When were they approved? Because that would explain this devastating panel on ABC. Listen to these guys. And I applaud their honesty. Blow the whistle, man, or this is going to happen again. Check this out. We were supposed to get a face to face briefing with the secret Service snipers whenever they arrived, and that never happened. So I think that that was probably a pivotal point where I started thinking things were wrong because that never happened and we had no communication with the Secret Service. You had no communication with the secret Service at all on that Saturday? Not until after the shooting. And by then it was too late.
Absolutely unforgivable.
Unforgivable.
You had no communication with the secret Service until after Donald Trump got shot in the head and Cory comparator got killed. By the way, two other people were shot, too. Were struggling a bit.
This is like nothing happened. That's a murder scene.
A man was murdered and one came within a millimeter of losing his head on live television.
I'm hearing again from a unimpeachable source on this that that may have been the case, that that CS team wasn't dispatched until the day before.
Explains everything.
Explains everything. The amount. And by the way, by expl, I hope you understand. Explains means, like, this was malfeasance. This wasn't like a mistake. They did this on purpose, like they intentionally knew they had. They. Because this is what you do, your secret service agents, you're looking at a site going line, a site issue. They're like. And they did nothing about it until the day before, which left no time for them to do anything, including even a basic advance where they communicate with the local SWAT team.
This is misfeasance. Malfeasance. Excuse me? Not misfeasance. This was intentional.
You better have a damn good excuse.
Now, I broke another piece of news on Friday that has been confirmed by an independent source to another actual journalist. I trust you may know who she is.
I told you on Friday that it has been pretty standard Secret Service policy, not written, but de facto policy to nothing. Give the DTD Donald Trump detail. That's what it's called, the DTD, the protective detail. To not give DTD countersniper assets unless it was a drivable site from Washington, DC. Folks, do you understand, again, what a bombshell that is that Donald Trump detail security decisions were not being made because of security needs or line of sight, but how far the driving distance was from Washington, DC. Holy shit, man. Hire a private security company, then they could have done it better than this. I've got security guys.
I just went to the RNC. My security guy, super nice guy. You know where he lives? Los Angeles. Lives in Los Angeles. He didn't say to me, ah, I don't know, Dan. You met him a Vida, right? Pretty nice guy. He didn't go, it's in Wisconsin. It's too far for me.
Holy Moses, man. Hire a freaking private security team.
Mainstream media.
Get your pens out again. I know you're two weeks behind. Try to catch up.
CS teams were not being deployed, this would have happened sooner. It's just an accident that Trump wasn't shot by a sniper sooner. It's just an accident of luck.
That's it.
They were using local assets. And by the way, these local assets, no CS team could have done in advance because if you weren't within driving distance, no CS teams were going. No countersniper teams were going. This is shocking. Their highest profile protect the higher threat than Biden. Biden doesn't travel. Barely. There's no crowds there. There's no question Donald Trump's a higher threat level than Biden. No serious security agents going to tell you otherwise, that their highest profile, most threatened protectee. You had no countersniper security plan. If it was outside of driving distance at DC. You were just relying on locals who were patriots. And wonderful. Not an attack on them at all. But it's a different mission than ours.
Not the same communications, not the same training, facial id. The advanced work is different.
Here's another one.
I'm sorry to keep saying this, man. I'm not trying to sound like an asshole. I just wish the media would catch up.
Folks, I told you two weeks ago, go back and listen to the show that there are text records. Texts upwards of an hour plus out showing that locals at the site knew there was a threat at the site, and they walked Donald Trump onto the x anyway. They walked him out to the podium.
I told you that.
Now this story emerges in Politico.
Not a friend of ours, by the way.
Assassination attempt, fallout, new text message. They're not new. I told you about them two freaking weeks ago.
New text messages show that security officers at the rally identified and talked about Thomas Crooks, the assassin, more than an hour and a half before he shot the president.
The earlier. That's earlier than we was previously known to be fingered by law enforcement. No, it isn't. Go back and listen to my show from two weeks ago. Politico noticing crooks outside the venue. One counter sniper relayed his observation, and the other security officers texted it about the kid with the rangefinder. Folks, this story gets more and more troubling by the day, and I have to tell you, I'm an evidence focused guy, and it will stay that way always. I'm guided by evidence.
But I've got to tell you, man, this sounds more and more sinister by the day, and I am open to any explanation as long as I can back it up. Don't think I precluded anything. I just don't jump to conclusions. Without evidence, I don't. Juicy, small a. Anything.
But I'm telling you, there's something sinister going on here. This doesn't make any sense. Here are the actual texts.
Look at the time. This is the last one. First. 530. Remember, he's walked out on the stage a little bit after 06:00 this is probably a spell check thing, an autocorrect. They have pictures of the actual kid.
And look at the text from the. From the local snipers, not the secret service ones. Kid learning around the beach. Probably trying to say lurking kid lurking around the building. We're in the AGR building? I believe it is. I did see him with a rangefinder looking towards the stage. Keep this up. What the hell else do you need to hear?
How did the secret service not know this? And look, the local guys.
Thank you to the local guys. Read the next line. This is their text. The local guys. Remember, by local, I mean, not secret service law enforcement.
If you want to notify secret service snipers to look out. I lost sight of him. Also a bike with a backpack sitting next to it in the rear of the building that was not seen earlier. Call into the command post and have a uniform check it out. What the hell else could you possibly want to hear?
The local guys are telling you there's a suspicious dude with a rangefinder and a backpack surreptitiously hiding himself. Reach out to the command post, secret service guys, and see. What else could you possibly want to hear?
It gets worse.
They started texting about this kid at 426.
Trump doesn't walk out on the stage till after six.
Look at this one. Someone followed our lead and snuck in and parked by our cars. Just so you know. I'm just letting you know because you see me go out with my rifle and put it in a car. So he knows you guys are up there. He's sitting in the direct right in a picnic table about 50 yards from the exit. Guy responds back, roger that.
To my secret Service friends who worked their asses off their entire life and never let a security failure happen on their watch like that, and who have been blowing the whistle to me. Thank you.
I'm forever grateful and have worked with guys like you. To the ones out there, again, still defending this abomination.
And you know who you are putting up posts about how this is? You know, I would have made the same decision. Just stop. Just absolutely stop there. You are on the wrong side of history. And you are providing cover for some really, really bad people. Folks.
They knew about this at 426 over an hour and a half. As I told you two freaking weeks ago before Donald Trump walks out on the stage, listen to me now, as I'm telling you as an expert in this matter, I ain't an expert in a lot, but I know this.
There are only two possible scenarios here. Either one involves such awful decision making, people should resign or be fired immediately. There is no excuse for this. You cannot fail like this and be allowed to do it again. You simply cannot.
Number one, there is a local radio in the command post at every site.
That Butler County, Pennsylvania, site had a command post. Every site does. That's why you see the police officer texting the, the. The local police officer texting, notify the command post. That's what he's talking about. There is a CP command post at every site. They have radios from every entity at the site there.
What? Who was number one again? Members of Congress, get your pens out. Who was the agent in the CP?
How does that person have a job? If scenario number one, that that information never got to the rest of the Secret Service agents at the site, how does that, how are they still working?
How, or, or there's an alternate scenario because we don't have the comms yet. So I'm going to give you both sides.
Let's say that agent in the command post did, in fact, relay that information to the working shift and the post standers at the Donald Trump butler site. Then question number two in scenario number two is then why the hell was Donald Trump walked on the stage if everybody knew there was a threat with, with a backpack and a rangefinder, who nobody could locate, either they knew and walked him out on stage anyway, or they didn't know. And the agent in the CP who didn't let them know should be fired.
Folks, am I crazy?
Am I, am I nuts? Here? Is this, is this, I'm going to tell you something. Take a quick break here.
You know what? I had to pass the weekend update. It's no time for them. Sorry. I know. Monday I will get back to another time. It's too important.
Plus the frivolity and nonsense. I don't want to waste any of your time.
I am increasingly worried about President Trump's safety right now because the people, people in charge of the Secret Service at the top right now are the exact same people who made the decisions that led to this debacle and people got promoted out of it.
I have not seen a single significant job action from this. It's a murder scene, man.
And by the way, some of these people who are struggling, God bless them, and I hear they're going to make the two others that are struggling if they don't. It's a multiple murder scene.
Donald Trump was shot in the face no matter what Christopher Wray, a ridiculous joke of an FBI director, tells you as a question. No, there's no question, moron. The only question is why you're still the FBI director.
I'll take a break. I'm going to show you what I mean, because Donald Trump is being Donald Trump. He's just going out saying, hey, man, I'm not going to let this stop me.
Guys. Got cojones. Man of steel. Ill show you what I mean. Coming up. Quick break, folks. Been a whirlwind the past few weeks. Been traveling for July 4 out in the mountains and spending the last week in Milwaukee. Im really grateful to come home and have some home cooked food.

This guy has, I mean, like moose balls, man. What?
Freaking titanium. Like eight ball pool q like nads. I've never seen anything like it. Trump promises more outdoor rallies despite Secret Service warning about assassination attempt. Not only more outdoor rallies, Trump's going back to Butler county. Hey, I agree. Evita says awesome. That. And by the way, and that is badass. So is Evita's show, by the way. Thank you, the McGraw Bongino army. By the way, you got a new shirt up USA again, proceeds go to charity. I just want to do something patriotic around July 4. I know it's a little late, but it's up at store dot bangino.com. but if you want one, whatever. Just, you know, it's a new shirt out. But thank you for supporting the Vita show. Absolutely blowing up. It's the hottest new podcast out there. Let me tell you something. I knew she was talented but she has even surpassed my incredibly lofty expectations. But that is she's 100% correct. This guy has brass ones. He's going right back out there. He knows oh, we haven't, folks, here it is. We have a live example of Donald Trump's ads right here on the table. We have a sample. They've been kind enough to send one over. If you're listening on Apple and Spotify, you're going to have to watch. That way you get the joke. Thank you, Michael. Folks, he's going right back out there again. The guy got shot in the head two weeks ago. And there are people out there. And by the way, folks, I'm telling you right now, I'm not letting this story go. There are people trying to make this story go away.
I'm going to get to that in a minute. Some of you know what I'm talking about, Scrooge and all this other stuff. I'm not letting this story go. Forget it. It's not happening. I'm not letting this story go under any circumstances. The guy was shot in the head two weeks ago. He's right back out there again.
Let me tell you why I'm worried.
I took a few notes for you as a former insider there.
We have a problem. Now.
This is the first time in a very long time that a sitting United States president that has the PPD, Presidential Protection division, presidential protective division, right.
Has not run for reelection.
Why is that a problem?
Well, because, folks, when the sitting president, you know, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, when they run for reelection, you can rest assured that of the two major parties, Republican and Democrat, that are going to get a Secret Service detail during a presidential election, that one is just going to be the same detail they had before because it's the president that didn't happen. Biden dropped out.
So now we have an unprecedented five fully staffed details.
Five.
This is a lot. Who are the five?
Trump, Vance, Kamala we have Joe Biden and VP soon to be announced.
I don't know who it's going to be. Shapiro whatever. Timoth that's five soon to be Democrat VP nominee Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, presumptive Democrat nominee, Trump advance these are five fully staffed details, folks. The Secret Service is in the middle of a massive, obviously, leadership crisis. The same people who led to the bad decisions are in charge now. They're in a morale crisis because a lot of the decent agents that have been blowing the whistle for me, good guys and patriots who had nothing to do with this failure are like hey, I never did a side advance like that. These guys are like, I can't even walk my kid to the bus stop without someone trashing me in my job. I didn't do it. You got morale issues. You've got CS teams, counter sniper teams that are now at a premium. Folks, you understand this isn't a.
This isn't like a loose leaf paper company where if there's, like a loose leaf paper shortage, they can just ramp up production and cut down a few more trees to get secret service trained counter snipers out there. You're talking about a year of training.
Be generous. Six months.
The election's over in six months. What do you think they're going to do? Just pull these CS teams out of their asses?
You have five fully staffed details. We've never seen anything like this.
Well, RFK is another one, but I shouldn't say RFK's detail will be a little more. It's kind of a medium threat level for them. But you're right, it's actually six. But I'm talking about when I said fully staff.
RFK's got kind of a medium threat footprint for them. I'm not saying. I'm just. I'm trying to give you the inside take on that. The major nominees, parties, are always going to get a bigger footprint. They just are. Right, so you have five fully, enormously staffed details, and they don't have the bodies, they don't have the time, folks. Where are the magnetometers going to come from?
Oh, they can just buy new magnetometers. Okay, who's going to staff them? The uniform division. It takes a year to train a uniform division guy and get him through training. They don't have the people.
You see why I'm worried about this guy?
He's going to go out there because he's got balls. He's going to go out there, Donald Trump and campaign.
And by the way, I'm worried about the other ones, too. Vance, Biden, Kamala. I don't want anything to happen to these people.
I don't. This. That's not how we do our business here. God forbid, I'm not sure the secret service under this management is up there with folks. They've spent the last year hiding the January 6 text covering up the cocaine scandal, engaged in a massive 30 30 dei push to hire a bunch of people based on ridiculous characteristics unrelated to merit. And you want to stick Donald Trump out in an open field again, I'm sorry, man. I'm nothing. You're expecting me to go. It's going to be a okay. Rah, rah. Nah. I respect Trump for having the balls to do it, but no, no.
Now, Senator Johnson, by the way, assured me that he's going to address the CS issue at the upcoming secret Service hearing tomorrow. Twitch, he covered this.
The story we broke on Friday about CS teams not being properly allocated to the Donald Trump detail based on freaking driving distances. Senator Ron Johnson I'm very impressed, I got to tell you.
Very responsive. I can only go on what these guys do, not what they say. And, man, they followed up within seconds of me get. I mean, within seconds of me getting off the air.
Tell me what we need to know. Where did we go wrong, folks? We got a big problem with the Secret Service right now.
They are. Nothing has changed. I want you to understand that. Even my wife was like, no, after this, surely they changed stuff. No, everything is going to be cosmetic. The training hasn't changed. I heard. I heard they moved the air security branch to TSD, the technical security division. That may help a little bit in the short term. They're still doing the DEI crap. The PT standards, physical fitness standards are still the same. And you've still got people surrounding Donald Trump who aren't as big as Donald Trump. Would you. Let me ask you something. If you were to say use, they have these suitcases that unfold. They look like suitcases, briefcases, I should say. The French have. I mean, they unfold and they're Kevlar, right? Would you put a Kevlar shield in front of Donald Trump that only reached up to his neck?
Of course not. He's going to get shot in the head. So why would you put people in front of Donald Trump, who's a big guy, who aren't as big as Donald Trump, in case the bullets Flydeze? The answer is because you give a shit about Dei stuff and not about people's actual security. None of that's changed.
Nobody's. I don't think anybody's been fired.
Kim Cheetah was offered the opportunity to resign.
Nothing's changed. You want to stick the guy out in the field again? Donald Trump?
I don't know, brothers and sisters.
I'm afraid something darker is going on here, too, and a little more sinister.
I can only be guided by evidence. I don't want to spin you into conjecture. And, you know, a lot of people want me to say things. Folks, this is my show, man. I can say what I can prove.
And I'm going to tell you something right now. There are a series of simply unexplainable decisions and follow up decisions afterwards that are starting to make me and other people believe that something darker is going on.
I was your guy on Spygate, right? You know why? I never got out ahead of that. I was always guided by the facts and in the end I was vindicated.
I was always guided by the facts here too. I told you back in August of last year, Donald Trump was likely going to get hurt or killed.
I was basing it on insider whistleblower tips and then it happened.
But there's something sinister going on here.
I'll tell you what I mean. We'll take a quick break and this is based on some actual evidence. Afterwards, something is definitely up here.
Quick break here, folks. In today's economic environment, the stress of providing for a family and yourself can sometimes be overwhelming.

Here's what I mean, folks, that I am. I'm afraid something more sinister is going on. This is how it started with, with Spygate, where I've been very candid with you about my history with that. I was initially very skeptical of some of the reports coming out. I thought to myself, gosh, there seems to be so many, so many ways to get caught. And I said, ah. And then I got a contact that reached out to me and provided me some evidence, and it changed everything. A matter of fact, it's what led to my first book on it, spy game, which I wrote and then I used, I documented a bunch of liberal sources. I'm going to be guided by evidence here. But, folks, this seems awfully strange. Look at this New York Post piece. This is odd. The FBI confirms Trump was hit by would be assassin Thomas Crooks bulletin after the FBI director shrapnel suggestion.
Are you telling me with a straight face that the FBI director, Chris Wray, testified under oath and committee that he was unsure if President Trump was shot in the head?
Folks, you understand that there's only, again, I like to think of things simply using Occam's razor. Keep it simple, stupid.
There are only two explanations for this. Either our FBI director is a clinical level imbecile who didn't even think to look at the data in front of him. There's a bullet whizzing by in a picture, hits him in the ear, his ear is bleeding. I mean, there was an actual medical report by, by Ronnie Jackson indicating that, that he didn't know that, or Christopher Wray did know that and had a reason to hide this story and make it out like, oh, you know what? Donald Trump's no real hero. Getting shot in the head and screaming fight. He was, in fact, hit with shrapnel, as if it was some grenade that was launched on stage or something.
Why would the FBI management have to correct their own director?
I'm going to throw something out there to you now, and when I'm speculating, I'll tell you it's a fair thing to do.
But I've got on some good authority here that there's this schism now developing in the FBI.
You have this corrupt cabal at the top that will do anything to stop Donald Trump from getting elected.
Apparently, there's some others in there who may not like Trump. And again, I'm telling you what's been passed to me by others, you do what you want with it. I am a conduit for information.
That is all I am in this.
That there's a group of people in there who don't really like Trump, but realize that the FBI has lost every single shred of credibility, and they are in turn, kind of leaking out to the media this stuff and correcting these people in public because they realize that nobody trusts the FBI anymore.
Just passing it on. You do what you want with it.
But if this is going on in our FBI, that there's these internal wars to dictate what narratives are to interfere in an election. Again, folks, what is this, Sesame street, man?
Grow up, man. Really?
You had to confirm Trump was shot. Are you kidding me? Do you not see the blood running down? What do you think that was? Maple syrup?
Here's another reason. I think something a little more sinister is going on. So, first you got the FBI putting out fake stories in front of Congress. He may have been hit by shrapnel. Why would they do that? There's no way Christopher a. Is that stupid. There was some agenda here, and. Or maybe he is that stupid. Who the hell knows?
Here's another one.
Why was Ron Roe, the deputy director, who I'm telling you is knee deep in this entire scandal, not allocating counters, sniper assets, stopping some protection enhancements from happening to the DTD, the Donald Trump detail. Why was he so quickly elevated to acting director? And where are all the people on the Donald Trump detail and others who know about Ron Roe? Why aren't they speaking out publicly?
I can't say this enough. You guys have an obligation to history to start to tell the truth. And I know what you're thinking. Oh, behind the scenes, I'm doing what I can do. You're not doing anything. You're getting shit rolled.
The guy who f'ed you over is now the acting director and is still your boss. You have information.
Go talk to Congress. Go talk to senators.
Don't tell me you are, because I'm talking to people up there who were telling me that the people. There's just been radio silence. What are you waiting for?
My gosh, man. Grow a pair of balls.
This is sickening stuff.
Why was Roe named so quickly as the acting? Is it to clean this mess up? Here's what I'm worried about.
I'm concerned evidence or emails could start getting deleted.
Oh, where would you get that crazy idea from? Gee, I don't know. The January 6 texts and emails that seem to have disappeared.
Don't tell me there's no evidence that that's happened before. Because it's happened before, remember? I wish I pulled up the clip. Kim Cheadle. Remember Kim Cheadle? And that CB's interview when I asked her about the January 6 text? Oh, we were doing a device migration on January 6.
Are you insane?
No one believes that.
Folks. I'm worried that stuff is getting deleted right now. Why was Roe, the cleanup guy, names the acting so quickly? And why is Christopher Wray so eager to change the narrative and make this go away? Well, Donald Trump wasn't really shot.
Not only that, why is big tech and Google making it so hard to get information about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump? Did you see this? This is at the right. Melissa on Twitter, on X.
This is a screen grab of her.
If you're watching on listen on Apple and Spotify, check this out on rumble. I'll explain it, but you'd rather you see it. Look at this. It will not fill in. Auto fill in attempted assassination of Donald Trump, no matter how many characters she types in attempted assassination of T or what else you got to put in there?
What's that? Speaker two.
It's still accepted. Assassination of Truman, this.
Now to give you all sides of this. Google responded this morning. I'm just telling you what they're saying. Hold your laughter to the end.
Google is saying, in our attempts to mitigate political violence, we don't do the kind of auto fill feature really put in attempted assassination of almost anyone else, and it comes up.
I'm giving you all sides. Now you can laugh.
Tell me something sinister isn't happening here. Now you've got big tech trying to make the story go away. Christopher Wray trying to make the story lesser of a story. You've got the mop up artist now appointed acting director, the Secret Service. You got the Secret Service director that still can't tell us where the January 6 six texts and emails are, you got the same guy who knows about it and you're telling me we shouldn't be concerned about this stuff.
Then you got artificial intelligence out there desperate to make the Trump story go away, too.
Now the AI companies are saying, oh, it's not our fault. The data aggregation only began pre October 2023. It's, there's always an excuse, folks. Here's billboard Chris, who, by the way, I met at the RNC, super nice guy, he says met at his Facebook. Their AI says the Trump assassination is a fictional event.
He asked a question, why is there rich and structured information about the Kamala Harris campaign, but not about the Trump assassination attempt?
And he respond back, it's a fictional attempt. Look, folks, what have I told you about AI and the Democrats? The Democrats are afraid of AI not because it's going to lie to you. They're afraid of AI because it's going to tell you the truth.
Folks, there is something really, really, really dark going on here.
Now, tomorrow, please tune in the acting director of the secret service, Ron Roe, who I'm telling you is the mop up guy, is going to be testifying in front of Congress.
I want some questions out there.
Was there any communications on encrypted apps? You're under oath, guys, about any, any operational work whatsoever by anyone in secret service management, outside of government emails? Why was Donald Trump walked out onto the x in the line of sight with an open threat?
Did the CP command post pass that traffic to the detail? If they did, why did the detail walk him out on stage? If the CP command post did not pass that information from the detail, does that person, man or woman, still have a job? And why?
What did they do to mitigate the line of sight issues? What's the policy about counter sniper assets outside of driving distance from DC?
I want to know and ask very specifically, how many Donald Trump events. Ron Rowe, you better be prepared.
Come there tomorrow. And you better know how many Donald Trump detail events had CS, USS, USS Secret Service countersignipity detail officers and how many didn't? And why were there a line of sight issues there, too? How'd you mitigate them? Why did we not show up to the briefing that morning? Was it because the CS team at Butler County, PA was only authorized the counter sniper team the day before?
Where's the counter surveillance vulnerability assessment? You guys writing this down? In Congress, there's a unit called CSU counter surveillance Unit. Was there a vulnerability assessment done? They do it at every site. Why didn't they do it at this one? Did they? Is it there? It should be on paper and email.
Did that vulnerability assessment pick up this line of sight issue from this building 140 yards away? If it did, why didn't you do anything about it?
Was there supposed to be a local CS team up there? If there was, why weren't they?
They're saying they weren't supposed to be up there. Other people are telling me it's because of this heat thing. I don't know what's true, but you should ask all outstanding questions, man.
There's something sinister here, folks.
I want to move on to a couple other things too, because this is an important news day. There's a lot going on, folks. Desperation time is kicking in now.
You know, I need everybody to listen to me for a minute here.
This is the most important election of our lifetime.
I know you've heard that before.
Scrap everything you've heard before. That's a fact.
Sunday, I had to take it easy. Long story, but no one feeling that great and I was sitting on the couch and feel good today, so I sat on the couch and I decided to give a watch to hillbilly elegy. It's JD Vance's autobiography, our new vice presidential nominee for the Trump ticket.
I like JD Vance and I have for a long time. You're free to support whoever you like. I love JD Vance. I like him a lot. Don't agree with him on everything, but I don't have to.
I need decent people in charge. And if I'm with you 80%, the other 20 we can negotiate on. Ok.
I know this guy to be a decent guy. Have you seen hillbilly elegy folks in the chat? Anyone?
If you haven't seen it or read the book, you can knock JD vance for whatever you like. Policy wise, this guy's backstory, having dealt with a family member with addiction, I recently lost.
I was having a tough time with the Kleenex, if you know what I mean. And I gotta tell you, I don't really care if it sounds like I gotta turn in my man card. I was having a tough time with the movie.
It's an amazing movie about his backstory, but it really impacted me. Deepen. This guy has a resume like we've never seen before.
United States Marine, entrepreneur, lawyer, United States senator from Ohio, and he's only 39.
What he dealt with in his past is unbelievable.
Why am I saying that now? I don't need to sell him. He's the nominee.
The attacks by the establishment right on JD Vance. Right. But we expect this from the left are freaking disgusting.
Guys make me sick.
I have an expression I say a lot on the show. Haven't said in a while, but you know it's true. It's one of my golden rules.
Said most Republicans on Capitol Hill are really Democrats, but no Democrats are really Republicans.
Watch how the right wing media handles Kamala Harris versus how the left wing media handles JD Vance.
The fact that establishment Republicans out there are attacking JD Vance, that he's. He's weird.
He's weird.
Weird.
United States marine capitalist made.
I mean, I'm really hurt by the whole.
He's weird.
You got a woman on the other side, a cackling lunatic who. You say anything about her. That's true, by the way. Borders are whatsoever. You've got establishment conservative. Don't say that. Don't say that. Don't say that. Even though it's true.
And then they lie about JD Vance.
And it's the weirdest thing. Like, you got establishment concerns like, oh, maybe Trump made the wrong choice. The wrong. Are you insane?
Grow a pair of mother balls.
You've got the best candidate you've seen in eons in the VP spot and you're shitting on this guy because a bunch of crazily cackling Kamala supporters. You want their support because you think you're. You want to look like the reasonable guy and you're shitting on this guy despite everything he's done for this country.
Hey, you have that JD clip at the right know, we were going to play another one next, but the clip at the. Yeah, yeah, that one on the screen. Listen to me.
I want you to listen to this and I'm asking to you out there. Who were the diehards? I love you. This is not directed at you. You can turn the show off. Well, don't. But you could to the establishment shitheads attacking this guy.
You're dead to me, man.
You're dead to me.
This is a good and decent guy and you're ripping this guy apart over nothing.
Kamala Harris, of course. Loser. Who's done nothing for this country. In case, absent destroying it, she attacked him for his patriotism. JD Vance really? Is Kamala in the Marine Corps in Iraq? I'm not. I don't see that here. Was JD Vance responding. This is the guy and this is the guy we're going to battle with on that ticket. Get on the train or get run over by it. Don't fall into this leftist messaging trap. Take a look.
Kamala Harris
I saw the other day, Kamala Harris questioned my loyalty to this country. That's the word she used, loyalty.
And it's an interesting word. Simplify loyalty, because there is no greater sign of disloyalty to this country than what Kamala Harris has done at our southern border.
And I'd like to ask the vice president, what has she done to question my loyalty to this country?
I served in the United States Marine Corps. I went to Iraq for this country.
I built a business for this country.
And my running mate took a bullet for this country.
So my question to Kamala Harris is, what the hell have you done to question our loyalty to the United States of America?
Dan Bongino
Amen, brother.
Folks, I get it, man.
I get it. I understand. What? You're never going to get a nominee at the top or in the vp spot. You're going to agree with on everything. I understand.
It may shock you that I say I have been a Trump supporter and a diehard for, gosh, eight years, six years now. I don't know. I mean, everybody was abandoning him for other candidates, not this show. Go back and look. Track record speaks for itself.
May surprise you. I don't agree with Donald Trump on everything.
I don't.
But I agree with him on a lot of things.
I don't agree with JD on everything, too.
Not a huge fan of Lena Khan at the FTC, but this guy is a patriot. Mandehethere and all.
All of the right. And by right, I mean wrong. People hate JD Vance.
And I'm telling you, establishment hacks out there trying to dismantle this guy, you're dead to me. Don't ask to come on my show.
You have. I want nothing to do with you at all. You're as bad as Democrats. You've got the worst candidate we have ever seen without a brain disorder in Kamala Harris. And you wasted the entire weekend on some ridiculous comment about a cat from years ago that has nothing to do with anything. The country is on the brink of collapse economically. Our military being hijacked by Dei lunatics. We've got our infrastructure falling apart. You've got this guy with the most amazing backstory, spent time in our military, and by the way, he rarely brags about it or talks about it, but it's a biographical fact. And we're shitting on this guy all weekend. And you got establishment GOP shit stains out there going, oh, man, I don't know. Maybe we should swap out the ticket. Really? For who?
Who do you want back? Jeb Bush?
I am so sick of these people, you have absolutely ruined our party.
You've ruined it.
This is what we should be focusing on. You want to see this media mashup? The Democrats? You don't see them attacking Kamala Harris anymore, do you?
But they did.
But they did.
I'm going to show you this media mashup in a second where they told you how awful Kamala Harris was because they wanted another candidate. Here's the difference between the left and the establishment, right? Not you, but the establishment, right? They're not phonies. They're not. No, no. They're commies. They're not fake about it. They're straight up communists. That. There's nothing fake about that. They are actual communists who are like, yeah, I said Kamala sucks a month ago, but now that she's my only path to power, now she's awesome.
That's not fake.
They're not fake at all. Our establishment guys are fake. I don't like JD Vance. They don't even know JD Vance. They're just pissed off their guy didn't get picked.
This is what we're running against. But notice how quickly they change their minds and back their guy while we're selling out ours. Check this out. There are reports to say that you have the lowest approval rating of any vice president. Well, there are polls that also say I have great approval ratings.
Swing voters don't like Harris. I'll beg a drive. Is Kamala Harris on the ticket? She's a pretty big jag. I think she was arguably Biden's worst political decision. They don't like her. There's lots of reasons they don't like her. Kamala Harris's approval rating is now at 28%, which is an historic low for any modern vice president. We're hearing it from mainstream media. One outlet after another, one leak after another that Kamala Harris is the worst vice president ever, the worst politician.
We don't see the vice president, what people are saying to me, and I'm sure they're saying it to you. Where is the vice president? Some White House officials feeling that she came off looking unprepared for inevitable questions about when she might visit the southern border. We've been to the border. You haven't been to the border, and I haven't been to Europe. And I don't. I don't understand the point that you're making. The point that Lester Holt was making was. Was obviously to anyone else who was watching this interview, which is that the issues at the border are inextricably linked with the portfolio that she's been given notice. This will all be memory hold. Why? Because the establishment left is not phony or fake like the establishment right. They're not. The establishment right pretends to be conservative lovers of liberty and prosperity and on our team. And the minute they can sell us out by attacking a guy like JD Vance, they do that because they want to look like the reasonable, sane ones to the people that hate them at the Washington Post, the left's not fake at all. The left are like, we are straight up commies. We will do anything to maintain power. Matter of fact, I'm going to show you. We'll do anything. We told you Kamala sucks when we wanted her out for a better candidate. Now that we don't have a better candidate and we're stuck with the worst candidate, Kamala Harris, we're going to do a bunch of puff pieces telling you how wonderful Kamala Harris is. Evita just said it, right.
With enemies like that, you know, I mean, with friends like who these enemies, right? I mean, this. These people don't care that they were in this to win.
Our guys are in this fighting some faux moral hierarchy. Well, look at me. Call out JD. Vince made a comment about a cat.
This is why I'm telling you, man, you better vote like you're freaking ten points behind.
I am not kidding because some of these people are going to sabotage us. The deep state is up to something right now. There's something sinister going on. We are only minutes away from another October surprise.
You better vote and bring ten people. This is our new. Here's our hand signal. This, this doesn't mean I give up. It means 1010 people. If you're not bringing ten people, you're not doing it right.
