All right, there you go. So I'm out in Oklahoma City this weekend, and I was out for a book signing out there. Thank you to the Barnes and Noble on north may out there for taking care of us. And we expected, I don't know, 300 and 5400 people and the reason we had that number in our heads. So you don't think I'm crazy, because everything with me is math and data. You know that, right? I'm not the, the, at least when it comes to numbers, I'm not the, you know, the cretan you think I am. I love numbers and I love data. They had had a basketball star out there who shall remain English, but we know who he is and shows up. And I heard from the guy, they had about 350 people. So I figured given we only gave it a week and a half, two weeks notice, that, I don't know, we'd have maybe 500. Because I know you Bongino army folks out there are loyal. I said, we'll definitely beat that guy about, but 150, well, the guy's telling me all week we're getting all these calls. I think this is going to be bigger than 500 people. We sold about, no, 1000 books. And everybody came with a partner, a kid, a buddy, a wife, a spouse. So I asked the guy how many people? We think about 1200 people showed up. It was the biggest thing we've seen in a long time. You got that Vo for a second, but I'll show the little mics in a second. But it was insane up and down the line. This is a video we took at the event. There were people everywhere. Look at this. I'm not going to show you the whole thing because it takes forever.

This is on my social media if you want to see the whole thing. So these are all the Bongino army members. A lot of don't get dead shirts, a lot of liberal suck shirts. It was fantastic. Some folds of honor stuff. Everybody's great. Audience archivist Judy showed up, was one of our original p ones. There she is right there. Look, we had everybody there. It was really awesome. It was an honor to meet you all. I just want to say one thing, and I mean, it I'm really sorry I didn't get to spend more time with everyone. There was one woman, she was a disabled vet. She was with her partner, a friend of hers.

They were. She was the friend, a friend. And messaged me on Facebook. Hey, I wish we could have hung out a little more, but I. Here's the problem.

We did not expect 1200 people. I didn't expect to get anywhere even close. I expected about 500. And we really, we were already late for this wedding event. We had to leave by two. We wound up leaving at four, so we wind up spending 4 hours. There was no way I was going to make it through. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to rush anyone. We definitely weren't rude to anybody at all. God forbid. But at the end, I had to let everybody know. It was really. I'm so. I'm really sorry in advance. I really do try to spend at least a small chunk of time with everyone and it was really hard. So my apologies in advance. We met so many cool people. I went out having a couple drinks that night. We all had a good time. I went to Oklahoma Ranch. You ever been at that bar next to the baseball stadium? They couldn't have been nicer. Security guy came over initially thought my brother was me. It was dark in the bar, so I understand. My brother kind of laughed a little bit. He said, I think you're talking about this guy right here. But they gave me a cool shirt. Awesome bar in Oklahoma, ate at a couple of great places. Upper crust. Unbelievable. And also I was told you got to go to little Mike's hamburgers. And this is why. This is how all the hamburgers look when you come out. Every single one. Hot tip, little mics. Hamburgers in Oklahoma City. Absolutely awesome food. Love you guys. You're the best. All right, there's my weekend update. Thank you, Oklahoma City. And thank you to everyone who came from outside Oklahoma City.

We had people from California, we had people from Arkansas, Chicago. I love you all. You guys mean a lot to me. So what is the volume okay on the chat, we need you guys help. We really just upgraded the studio big time because I still can't hear anything. But can you, is the volume okay, guys, let us know.

Yes, no, yes, yes, yes. You love the shirt. This is on the website store, dot bano.com. yep. Yeah. Okay, cool. All right. Thanks, guys. We appreciate it. You're helping us out a lot. We did a big, big upgrade. So listen, be very careful with the debate. The debate is obviously the big story. This week, I'm going to give you some coverage you're not going to get anywhere else. Trump is a secret weapon in this debate, and I think he knows what it is. And the secret weapon in this is going to be props. I've said this often, but do not underestimate, please do not underestimate Biden's chances of showing up and looking somewhat alert again. We saw it at the state of the union. The difference is the state of the union's not adversarial. What they do to Biden, I don't know. He's up in Camp David. Is he sleeping late every day? I have no idea, folks. Is he taking creatine? I don't know. All I know is he showed up at the state of the union. Ah. Screaming and yelling like a maniac. Now, the State of the union is not adversarial. It's a one way microphone. No one gets to talk back. I think he's going to be shaken up a little bit at the debate. However, be very careful about this. You underestimate this guy, you're going to lose. That's why Trump is playing it super smart. I want you to watch this clip of Donald Trump in Philadelphia this weekend. Here he is talking about Biden coming into the state of the union all jacked up. Check this out. He's sleeping now because they want to get him good and strong.

So a little before debate time, he gets a shot in the ass. And that's, they want to strengthen him up so he comes out. He'll come out okay.

I say he'll come out all jacked up. Right? All jacked up.

Folks, do not underestimate this guy. I'm serious. It is going to blow up in our face. Congratulations to Donald Trump and his team for being smart about this. All of his surrogates are on tv saying the same thing. Even Joe Biden, who is totally incapable of telling a story without lying or falling asleep, has at least an hour and a half of them. That's all it is. If this is going to be, whatever, a two hour debate or start to finish the whole event, 2 hours. Joe Biden can show up, go in the green room. Anybody can do an hour and a half, especially if you're jacked up, okay? I don't know what the hell he's taken. Is he taking sugar pills? Vivor and creatine? I don't know. All I'm telling you is anybody can show up. And if we, if we don't do this this week, I'm begging you as my friends. Oh, my gosh. This guy's going to suck. He's going to suck. He's going to suck. If you say he's going to suck, and he manages to suck, but suck a little less than the maximum suck, you think everybody goes, holy shit. This was the greatest debate performance ever. We saw it at the State of the union. Please don't do that. So listen, because I don't like to bother the Trump team, and they're really cool guys, but I like wasting their time. Here are three things quick I would do if I were Donald Trump, and I'm going to get to the Charlottesville thing because you're. Folks, we're getting totally taken for a ride here by snopes. Stay tuned. Here's three quick things. Number one, I already said it. The secret weapon here is absolutely props.

If this doesn't happen, I'm going to be really upset here. Some guy gave me, a really nice guy, gave me this Dan Bongino baseball card a long time ago.

Not me. I didn't make it, but it's cool.

Trump in his pocket needs to have a copy of the Joe Biden check. The $40,000. That was 10% of the $400,000 payment made to his family members. 10% for the big guy. He needs to have it. Just a paper copy to check. He needs to pull it out. And he needs to say, you know, Joe, why should we believe you? You said your son made no money from these overseas deals in China. Not only did he make money, you made money. Matter of fact, this is a copy of the check. It's a real copy. You can see it. All the numbers, all the stuff is right. You told this entire audience here that you and your son made no money from China and the laptop was fake. So why should they believe everything you say? If I've just provided actual proof that what you said was bullshit, the whole everything he says, the rest of the debate should be thrown out. I'm begging the Trump guys, please. I love you guys. I don't like bothering you. Props. Just. What's all you need? A copy of the check. Folks in the chat, tell me if you think I'm crazy. Bought gino, get on the case. I need. Listen, crowdsourcing. Maybe I'm nuts. You got to pull out the props. The whole world will see that picture of the check, and Joe Biden will have no answer. What's he going to say? It's not real? It is. There's nothing he can say. He's NFV lies about it. What do you say to that the next day? Let's say the Trump, the Trump team's got a deal with Biden team out there going, that was fake. It was all an act.

What does the Trump team say? Look, he's lying again. See? Yes. Thank you. Yes. Yes. Look at what I have created. Yes. Look what then they say the next day, oh, my gosh, he's lying again, just like we told you we would. There's no way out of it. Justin, what do you think of my idea?

He's my. He's too worried about the sound. No, I can hear it now. Don't worry, guys. Yes, I can definitely. It was a little lower. I should have just turned the volume up. Folks, here's a lesson in life. There are two things to do if you haven't tech problems. Check the power button and turn the volume up. Works 99% of the time and then restart.

That's what he's got to do here. Number two, he should say, here's what Joe Biden is going to tell you about me and go into the whole list of stuff. I know you don't want to litigate bad charges, but he's going to say it anyway. He say he's going to call me this, he's going to call me a dictator, he's going to call me that. But, you know, I was president. None of that happened yet. Here's the things Joe Biden has done. Ignored the Supreme Court, put his political opponents in jail. That way, when Joe Biden says it, Donald Trump's a Nazi or fascist. Everybody's thinking of the Donald Trump response and not what Joe Biden has to say. Number two, quickie. Number three, you got to mention that at least three or four times. The last debate I did with this guy right here, he lied to the entire world, not just the country, about his son's laptop he knew was real. I showed you the check already. Everything this guy's telling you was bullshit. He is a liar. He's a documented liar. That he's got to do. You do those three things, I'm telling you, this debate is over.

Trump should also show his kinder side. I know it sounds kind of like we, you know, we all want him to be a savage all the time because we like it. And a lot of us just go for it and cutesy time is over. But there may be a few persuadables out there. It's not a lot. It's a base election. I want to be honest with you, but there may be a few out there. And Trump has a really kind side. I throw that thing up on Vo. You remember this back in 2016, he's running for president against Carson. Remember Ben Carson? They forget his name.

So Ted Cruz walks out and Carson, who's really, really a genuinely kind guy, if you've ever met him, like one of the nicest you'll ever meet, they're telling the go, but they didn't call his name. So Carson's like, I'm not going to walk out. They didn't call my name because he's a nice guy. You remember this scene, Donald Trump walks out, they call his name, but he realizes that Ben Carson has not been called. He sat there with him the whole time.

Donald Trump has a side there, man. People don't see, you know, I like, believe me, I love the savage side. I'm a savage myself as I can't help it. It's just like in my DNA. Brothers and sisters, I'm sorry, I think you saw it with the bill O'Reilly thing, which I didn't forget about. What did I mean? But you see, this goes on. You get the point. He didn't walk out until Carson. They finally called him again at the end. That's who Donald Trump is. Him and his crew. You loyal to them. That guy will call you right back. He's a good guy. You saw it again this weekend. He was out in Philadelphia. And one of these really young Trump supporters. How many Donald Trump wings did you guys see this? The poor kid, man, he's crying. He's so overwhelmed. He's meeting Donald Trump.

Look at the Boston, look at his kid, man. Come on. This is priceless, ladies and gentlemen. Snapshots and sound buttons.

Listen, signs a bill for him, gives a kid kids crying. This kid's never going to, you got to remember, Donald Trump knows this better than anyone. Donald Trump will remember maybe one out of every thousand interactions he has. Why? Because the guy meets two, 3000 people a day.

This kid will remember that forever. And Trump knows that. That's what Donald Trump is, man. He should show that concept, folks. And we're making a huge dent. We're making a huge dent. Snapshots and soundbites, you and I understand that's all campaigns are, pictures and soundbites. Donald Trump and his team are masters of this. Every single thing we do on this show with you, with you, everything we do is done tactically. I want you to understand that. Hey, beam in, brothers and sisters. Everything we do, nothing we do is by accident. Everything has a purpose. The Daily beast is freaking out about us. Of course, they wrote this whole article about RNC research, one of the best accounts out there who has been absolutely decimating Joe Biden with memes and the videos of Joe Biden appearing to defecate on himself and stop and freeze on stage. They're freaking out the Daily Beast and they note that Trump's our digital team is significantly more skilled than the Democrats. And he named the couple operatives. Operatives? Oh, no. The operative said that there are two big online names that are helping spread clips. Jack Pasobic, good dude, and Dan Bargino. It's not me. I send it to you guys and you guys do it. Well, it's kind of me, but it's me and you. It's me. I share something and you guys share it. So I have a favor. They're shitting their pants, pun intended. They're afraid of us. When I go and share something on true social and Twitter, I need you to share it too, because they're freaking out and I love to see the freak out going on.

Now I want to get to something important that happened this weekend. You know what, let me take a break here. I'm sorry it's a little bit early, but let me take a break here and I'm going to get to this on the other side because this is really important. The Charlottesville thing, a lot of you saw what happened. If you didn't stay tuned, you're like, how the hell's that back in the news? It is. And something's going on and I'm telling you, almost nobody caught it. So stay tuned. This is not them doing the right thing. The left, that is.

Man, that was some open. We had tech things, we got a weekend update.

You believe that? We stacked that all into 17 minutes. Hey, you having trouble sleeping or staying asleep? Listen, I've been there. It's terrible. It's not just about feeling tired the next day.

So something happened this weekend. A bunch of people sent me this and they're like, oh, my gosh, Dan, why is Snopes if you don't know what Snopes is? Snopes is a left wing factor fact checking site. I use air quotes because it's. They don't really check facts. It's a propaganda site. It always has been. So something strange happened this weekend after seven years of left wing communist goon scumbags telling you that Donald Trump, after the Charlottesville incident, called neo Nazis very fine people, a total hoax. If you just listen to the speech, which isn't hard because it's everywhere, all of a sudden, Snopes left wing site comes out and says, hey, man, that's a hoax.

Comes out when? Seven years ago? No, like this weekend. And everybody's like, oh, my gosh, like, snopes did the right thing. No, Snopes didn't do the right thing. First, here's the Fox News piece. Anders hacks from left wing fact checker admits Donald Trump never called Charlottesville neo Nazis very fine people in a blow to bite. So a couple of did you guys first in the chat? I love the interaction. But none of you got suckered by this, right?

Have I? How many times have I told you this? I mean, thousands.

Nothing the left does happens by accident, okay? Everything the left does, they do for a reason.

You should be asking yourself why, after seven years, does a left wing communist, quote, fact checking site all of a sudden have an interest in what Donald Trump actually said?

The reasons is queue up the tapper clip. This is very short. Maybe I'll play it twice. Jake Tapper is going to be one of the moderators of the debate.

Do you remember when Jake Tapper said this? Check this out.

Cassie Hunt
Now, elsewhere in those remarks, the president did condemn neo Nazis and white supremacists. So he's not saying that the neo Nazis and white supremacists are very fine people.

Dan Bongino
Wait, play it one more time, please, if you could.

Cassie Hunt
Now, elsewhere in those remarks, the president did condemn neo Nazis and white supremacists. So he's not saying that the neo Nazis and white supremacists are very fine people.

Dan Bongino
Anyone in the chat know where I'm going with this?

Joe Biden is unquestionable. I haven't told any of these guys this either. Joe Biden in the debate was unquestionably planning to bring up the Charlottesville hoax. Why?

Ladies and gentlemen, it's the entire basis for his campaign. Joe Biden. I should have put this in the show. Jim, pull this for radio. Totally my fault. Do you remember Joe Biden when they asked him why he decided to run for president? He said, because I saw these people foaming at the mouth as Charlottesville. And what did they say? They, Donald Trump said they were fine people. It's the whole basis for Joe Biden's campaign.

We know it's bullshit. I get it. Don't you know if this. I get it, folks in the chat. I'm with you. I'm just saying that's what Joe Biden has publicly said.

We'll try to pull it up. It's totally my fault. I put it, should have put it in the show. He has already said that.

If Joe Biden says that at the debate, and this guy next to me called neo Nazis, very fine people. Jake Tapper is already on the record saying it's bullshit. I'm not celebrating Jake Tapper or anyone else. Obviously.

He's obviously a left leaning guy. They've, they're obviously trying to cover some stuff up. I'll show you the Cassie hunting in a minute. But Tapper's already come out not giving anybody any credit for telling the truth. It reminds me to Chris Rock thing. I take care of my kids. You're supposed to take care of your kids. No one deserves like a shiny red apple for telling the truth. Donald Trump called condemned, specifically condemned. He said, I completely condemn the white supremacist. Completely. You don't deserve a cookie for admitting it's true. But he already did. How does Tapper, who's already on the record saying it's bullshit, sit there while Joe Biden on the debate stage says, hey, there were very fine people? So why did snopes do it? Not out of the kindness of their heart. They did it as a warning to the Biden team.

Please don't do this on stage because Tapper is already on the record saying that's not true. And he's going to have to call you out on stage and you're going to look in a viral moment like an asshole.

It's a warning.

This is not something they deserve a cookie for. I just want to be clear.

Snopes is doing it because he's put himself in a box. Biden made up a lie, saying he's running for office because Donald Trump called white supremacist very fine people, which is fake. And the guy moderating the debates already called bullshit.

Of course, the media on the left are too freaking stupid to understand this. Here's Kat Abu, who used to have a job at media matters. Sorry. Tweeting out snopes is claiming Trump didn't call neo Nazis very fine people. That's because he didn't jerk wad.

Instead, he was referring to protesters and counter protests. He only specifically said that, you dip shit. Hey, snopes, if you're at a protest led by a neo Nazi on the side of neo Nazis, guess what that makes you. Something you can do to talk sense into these people. That's why I said arguing with liberals is a waste of time. They're freaking stupid or evil. There's no in between. Cat Abu. I don't even know if it's a real. Is that a he OR. I don't even know. Who cares? These people are idiots. They don't even understand what Snopes is trying to do. They're trying to save Biden the embarrassment of getting called out on stage.

Holy shit, man. Just pay attention. Was so obvious from the start. Took me about five minutes to figure this out. Look at snopes. My gosh. They're stepping up. Yeah, okay, sure.

And then this happened this morning. Here's CNN. I mean, you're expecting a fair debate? Come on, man. I mean, this is the network that pumped the peepee hoax. The Charlottesville hoax said Spygate didn't happen. Every single Donald Trump hoax, CNN has been at the forefront of. So Caroline Levitt, spokeswoman for the Trump campaign, goes on CNN with Cassie Hunt, which is honestly never a good idea. But whatever. They got to do what they got to do. And of course, Cassie Hunt doesn't like it. They. Caroline Levitt's bringing up a good point. Hey, you, Jake, and others have been, you know, you guys have been all over this collusion thing for the whole time. Like, we're not even expecting a fair debate. And of course, she's got to shut it down. Check this out.

Cassie Hunt
Well, first of all, it's to. It takes someone five minutes to Google Jake Tapper, Donald Trump to see that Jake Tapper has. Ma'am, we're going to stop this interview if you're going to keep attacking my colleague.

Ma'am, I'm going to stop this interview if you continue to attack my colleagues. I would like to talk about Joe Biden and Donald Trump, who you work for. Yes. If you are here to speak on his behalf, and I will have this conversation.

I am stating facts that your colleagues have stated in the past. Now, I'm sorry, guys. We're going to come back out to the panel. Caroline, thank you very much for your time. You are welcome to come back, folks.

Dan Bongino
You're never going to get a fair debate on CNN. Having said that, I don't know. Some people disagree, and that's okay. This is not a dictatorship. This show, this show is, this show is an actual pure democracy. It's not a republic. It's a pure democracy. You guys have input into the show directly. This is a direct democracy. Ok? Some of you disagree. Some people think he shouldn't have debated Joe Biden at all. I disagree completely. Even if he had to do it on CNN, Joe Biden was never going to agree to a fair debate. He got, folks, the guy is a mental mess, ok? He was only going to agree to a debate where the rules were slanted in his favor, period. So that's what we had to take. He really didn't have an option. However, I still think we can win this thing and win it handily. But do not, I'll leave it here. Do not underestimate Joe Biden, please, because anybody can show up for an hour and a half. Folks, the desperation is getting real, too. Did you see this story this weekend? Right when I walked in, Evita was like, dude, what the hell? She didn't think, man, that O'Reilly thing. I think you guys saw a different, that's the savage side of me coming out. But she's like, what the hell is up with this DHS story?

Let me take my last break. I'll get back to this. This is bad desperation time for them. The Biden team is kicking in. And I'm telling you, ladies and gentlemen, if you don't think you're being watched, if you're some maga influencer out there, you are insane.

America first legal, they were an amazing account to follow on all of your social media. At America first legal, they noted there is this John Brennan and Clapper kind of advisory group. Let me tell you what it really is. It is a deep state surrogate. They are people who have been kind of informally deputized to go spy on you because they still have contacts. You remember, of course, John Brennan, the old CIA director and Clapper Big, big intel official in the, in the Obama administration in the past. These guys are out there right now.

It was a DNI. They are acting as surrogates for the intelligence community. I want you to look at this tweet. They're looking for local contacts inside neighborhoods. They note that this group, this Brennan Clapper type group, they noted to see something, say something, campaign after 911 fell short because Americans have an ambivalent feeling of telling on each other. Holy shit. That's because we don't like spying on each other like freaking soviet level commies, you dip wads. That's why they note the problem. As one attendee of this Brennan Clapper group phrased it is how do we get into local communities in a non threatening way? How do people safely report a concern about their neighbors? Folks, look at the stuff they attach to this. This is from this, this group. This is really, really bad stuff. I want you to be careful here. Here is the takeaway from a guy who worked inside the government and got a hold of a lot of intelligence during the time I was there. Be extremely careful of who you are letting into your groups, your tea party groups, your libertarian groups, your MAGA groups, your trump clubs. There are, I'm sorry to break the bad news to you, but there are probably people in there, probably people in there who are not friends and it's intentional.

Throw up the next three. These guys are definitely, there is at least probably one deep state plant or two in every one of these groups. Internal docs from the Biden DHS. We go back to the other internal docs from Biden's DHS show that their plans to target Trump supporters as domestic terrorists, the blend in the Brennan Clapper intel group discussed how most of the domestic terrorism threat now comes from supporters of the president, former president talking about obviously Trump.

Folks, be really, really careful, please. There are people out there. Now you see why there's so much suspicion about what happened on January 6 and elsewhere. You're not crazy. It's not a conspiracy theory. There is actual evidence out there that these people who worked in the deep state and are now likely surrogates for them are looking for ways to infiltrate your groups.

Here's another one from House oversight.

They have documents now about taxpayer dollars. We talked about this last week being used to fund a get out the vote campaign specifically targeting Democrat communities. Oh, and who did it? Who made the template? Susan Rice from the Obama regime.

I told you this replacement theory thing that they've now got someone on tape talking about this demographic destiny thing with illegals that they talk about all the time is real.

It was at an event this weekend. Everybody's, they're worried about the cheating. Me, too. Me too.

I'm worried, too. But that doesn't mean don't vote. We've got one shot to change this thing.

All right, I got to get to this, too. Sorry it took a little long to get here. Crowds a little slow today. Gotta tell you folks, a little summer, you know, summer, Mondays in the summer are always tough. We usually had about 100 by now. But is there a website thing or something like that? Yeah, I think so. We just switched over to computer 86. A little flow for us on a movie. Well over 100 by now. Yeah, we're going to have to, we'll work on the glitches. But if you're still here, thank you very much. We'd love to have you. I want to address this because this one absolutely nuclear on, was it Thursday show we did this. So without relitigating the whole thing, Bill O'Reilly decided to act like a dumbass. Yeah, the old guy from Fox. Many of you thought he was, he was dead or something. He's still alive. And did a show where for some bizarre reason he decided to be a good idea to call me a fanatic for talking about this. Why I'm talking about this now. Exactly what I just mentioned, the strategic Susan Rice led plan and Democrat plan to get illegal immigrants to vote and get him in the pipeline. They're doing this for a reason. They know they can't win legitimately with regular old us citizens. The evidence is everywhere. They're trying to funnel illegals into the pipeline. There's a piece of house legislation out there to stop illegals from registering to vote by making improve the city their citizenship. How many Democrats signed onto this bill in the chat? Yes, exactly one. So O'Reilly called me, and I quote, a fanatic for pointing this out.

Granted, folks, I was in a mood on Thursday, so I lit Bill Riley, Bill O'Reilly on fire, yet to hear from Bill because he's kind of a chump and a coward. So I brought that up last week because it's important we start to cut the cancers out of our movement, folks. These are people who are time vampires. I mean, think about how much time this weekend was spent. This thing went nuclear. It was all over the place. It had to be done. I couldn't let it go. I'm not going to let people in our own party say, oh, you're a fanatic if you call out voter fraud because then they're going to. That's how voter fraud happens.

However I want to. I really appreciate these guys. You ever see the show on rumble, the big recap, good guys here. It was really nice. They covered the whole O'Reilly thing. It was all over the place. And thank you for all the good feedback. And listen, here's the bottom line. A lot of these old school, swampy kind of fake republicans who've leached off you for years, like O'Reilly and others, they don't like it that we're the movement now. Yes, we're the movement now and we're not asking for your permission anymore. I'm sorry that you find it so threatening that we've taken over these big recap guys. Get that. Check their show out. It's pretty good. Check this out.

C
And so I gather a couple, a couple things, a couple things from, and yes, I stopped counting because I lost count.

I gather a couple things from this rant with Dan.

Number one, he's absolutely right.

I had to learn the hard way about this, the truth behind this conservative movement, behind the conservative influencers that we have in this world. Let me, ladies and gentlemen, let me just be honest with you. I would say probably 70% of them either a, don't give a crap about this cause they don't give a crap about Trump or the movement or being a conservative or Jesus or God is just holding a bible on their show. Looks good for tv.

Dan Bongino
Yep. They're in it for the money. They're in it for the money. They're in it for the clicks.

Guys, I'm not lying here.

Forget O'Reilly for a minute. But we've got an election coming up. I promise you I'm not making it up. And by the way, it's not everyone. There are a lot of really, really good content creators out there who really believe it. Forget the money. Everybody makes money. I'm a capitalist. But, you know, some guy was mad at me this weekend on Facebook because he liked my sneakers or something. You know, whatever. Dude was wearing nikes, by the way. Nikes? Are you telling me about sneakers? It was kind of hilarious. Forget the money thing. That's not it. There are a lot of people out there who are, yeah, they're probably really wealthy and they do really care about conservatism and you know who they are, but a lot of people aren't. They're in this only because of the money. Only.

And I'm just trying to, as we get closer to this election, warn you. All right, enough on that. But he can kiss my ass. I'm dumb with assholes like that. I'm just going to tell you, go after me all you want. A lot of people do. I rarely do that. But if you're going to come after me, you better be ready if you're going to come after me for some bullshit like, oh, you called out voter fraud. Voter fraud isn't real or whatever you were implying. You can get ready, folks, because this is the left now. This is the left and this is what we're fighting. And there's no time for halfway crooks and there's no time for phonies and fakes. Do you see this video of AOC this weekend in the Bronx? If this is not the cringiest thing, speaking of fakes and phonies, we don't only have them on our side, they've got them too. AOC is the fakest phony you have ever seen. Ladies and gentlemen, the area AOC wants you to believe. She's from, my wife and my father are actually from. She's not from the Bronx.

She is not from Jackson Heights, Queensland. She's from Westchester, okay? She's from a wealthy upper middle class enclave. She is not down. She's not one of you. She's a total fake. Unlike AOC, I actually grew up in a middle to lower middle class neighborhood. I'll give you, well, I don't want to give you the dress because some of the, but I'll tell you this, it's at 64th place and Myrtle Avenue. Go look on the corner and check. You'll see a grocery store in the background. Go to whatever maps program. I think it's a sushi place. Now, look around. That look like an upper class neighborhood to you? That was my house. Well, now it was an apartment. We all slept in one room upstairs. My mother and the other one is me and my two brothers. AOC is not down. That's why you get moments like this when she's trying to pretend she's down and she's like, one. She's one of you, man.

Cassie Hunt
She's.

Dan Bongino
Oh, you know, look at me. I was a working class. Um. She's not. She's a fake and a fraud. Check this out. This is classic. Look at this.

Try not to throw up. Yo, look at me. Look at this. Look at it. She's got, like, the Gilligan's island cargo shorts on.

Look at this. Look at this.

Oh, my gosh. Look at the shorts. Look at this.

Right back into here.

Look at it. Check this out.

She wants to be down. Look at me. I'm one of you, man. I'm one of these working class. I had a struggle up in Westchester. Yeah, okay, sure you did. Yeah. Great job there. What? A fake is what we're dealing with, man. And then that Jamal Bowman, high school principal, doesn't know a fire alarm, gets up next, screaming. At least when I curse, it's real. He's like, screaming like a man just to pretend he's down. Cursing, by the way. Cursing, man. I know, I get it. Listen, a lot of people came up to me this week, and I have a lot of young fans. Young fans. Don't curse like that. Don't curse. It's very bad. It's bad thing. Don't do it. A lot of young kids showed up, listen to radio show. It's better without the cursing. So this is for adults only. I did. A lot of young kids, like, don't. Whatever you do, don't curse. But I tell these young kids at the book signing the same thing every time. Say, do big things.

Kids do big things. Don't do small things. God wants you to do big things. You just got to listen to them. He talks to you. I mean, not like in a voice, but he talks to you. And when he talks to you, if you're listening, you know what I mean? Do big things. Don't do small things ever.

Folks, this is also what we're dealing with, this upcoming election. Back to the illegal immigration thing. Illegal immigrants voting, illegal immigrants invading our country. That's what's happening. That's what's happening. The numbers, the video, the audio. Back up what I'm telling you. I have the evidence that that is real, you get the bill O'Reilly's on our side. Like it's not happening. I don't want these people to vote. Then why are they letting them in? Why are they letting them in?

Here's MSNBC, Simone Sanders and a goofball, Michael Steele going back and forth about, they're talking about a guy who's a suspected murderer and they're worried about how you call this guy's status in the country. This is what they're worried about, not the fact that someone died. Watch this.

Cassie Hunt
What do you tell the parents of those people, those young girls who were killed? This is, I mean, what you preponderance of these male. But what is the difference between an.

Dan Bongino
Illegal immigrant who unfortunately engages in that activity?

Cassie Hunt
And we don't like that. I want to be clear. We don't use the term illegal. Undocumented individuals. They're illegal alias undocumented individuals.

Dan Bongino
Folks, they're talking about a suspected murderer. You want to play cutesy time with these people? I'm not interested.

And by the way, Sean Davis, I love breaking stuff for you, especially when it's not my story and a friend of mine breaks it. Sean Davis is on to something big here. Remember last week Biden declared this amnesty for the spouse people who are here illegally but marry an american citizen. I, you know, it's pretty simple to figure out, but I e for the liberals who are pretty dumb, you enter the country illegally, you meet a guy, meet a woman, whatever, get married. Biden's trying to say, hey, you all get amnesty sub words of 500,000 to a million people, but then you get all kinds of other people that will come in because of it. Okay, really bad idea. Sean Davis picked up on something. You guys catch this? I missed this one. Is there a new leaker at the Supreme Court? Don't you find it weird? He notes that the Supreme Court ruled last week in a six three decision that the US is not, not required to admit immigrant spouses of american citizens in a case involving an MS 13 member whose spouse was a us citizen and who demanded legalization.

Did someone leak that to the Biden team?

You don't find that weird? Sean Davis, great poll, folks. The Supreme Court's been taken over by tyrants now leaking every decision out in advance. The Biden team gets a hold of it and now all of a sudden they rush out an executive order. Look at this. We got to protect this. You know, the illegals who were married to american citizens. You think that was an accident? Folks the whole country's been hijacked right now by tyrants throwing process out the window while telling you you're a bunch of nazis.

And then they'll tell you, by the way, the demographic destiny replacement theory thing is all bullshit. Really. It's amazing because all we do is play this supercut all the time of Democrats talking about changing the demographics of the country to get illegals to vote, in their words.

But then this happened.

Project Veritas is a new video out.

They've got this Democrat official on hidden camera. And ladies and gentlemen, you don't think this demographic destiny replacement theory thing is real and you're scared off because the Democrats tell you, don't you dare talk about it's racist. If it's racist, then the Democrats are the biggest racists in the world because here they are on hidden camera talking about the thing they talk on, on, not hidden camera, on open camera, which is changing the demographics of the country for electoral power. Check this out.

Cassie Hunt
There's gotta be something that you're like, man, I wish I could tell the world about this. Oh, there's a lot of things, but mostly, mostly with immigration. I wish people knew they were letting in criminals daily. The big issue for Hill, for our region is migration.

So we poured a lot of money into Central America.

Dan Bongino
Like how much?

Cassie Hunt
4 billion over four years. But now migrants are coming from elsewhere like Venezuela.

So what is the end goal? Why are they allowing to change the.

Dan Bongino
Demographics of the United States? What else could you possibly need to hear?

Did you hear the. I know the audio is not great. It's not my team's fault. It's hidden camera, which, you know, it's always going to be a little muffled because you're not, you know, the camera out. Hey. Talking to the microphones on the way. It works.

So why the person asked, the operative asks the Democrat guy, so why are you guys doing all this? Letting all these illegals in so we can change the demographics of the country?

Why is us talking about that racist? The answer is, of course it's not. People get, they get, they hear the word racist, they run away as if the Democrats don't know to just throw that word out randomly to shut you up. The thing is, no one's shutting up anymore. You call it racist when we know it's bullshit. We talk about it ten more times.

This is why they're doing this. Someone should tell Bill O'Reilly because they're on our side too. Oh, that's not happening. It is happening. They talk about it all the time.

It is happening, folks. Switching gears a little bit. But this is an important story because it scares me a little bit. I'm in a kind of a woodsbag, snowflakey kind of way, but it scares me a little bit because in this totalitarian future, sitting there right ahead of us, if we lose this election, I mean it, the FBI, the DHS, secreting people in our groups, infiltrating Facebook, true social posts.

Listen, the power of state actors to control us in the future between AI facial recognition and drone technology. Look at this. I'm getting actual goosebumps. Talking about this scares the living out of me.

It does, folks, without sounding like a condescending asshole.

Having dealt with this technology, protection, security space a lot, lot, we're in a lot of trouble in the future if we don't get ahold of this government quick.

I'm going to guesstimate to you we have about five or ten years to clean this up and get some guardrails.

Because this big government in the future, there are going to be no limits on its ability to make your life miserable and make you effectively a political prisoner in your own town.

You think that's hysteria marked the date on this show. Mark the time and you'll be in five or six years saying, shit, I should have listened.

This is why this election is so important. I want to show you something interesting.

Queue up that vo for us as our voiceover in case you're not into the whole industry lingo stuff. But this is, this is a video of a drone. It's attacking a soldier. I haven't verified where it's from, but the video is real. It is a drone attacking a show. A soldier who's trying to run away and in the end appears to give up. You see, it looks like he just starts praying. At the end, the drone, of course, explodes and kills him. This is not easy to watch. So if you got kids around, but you got a few seconds here, you'll see he sees the drone. He sees he can't get away. And then he realized, I better start praying. And he doesn't know what to do. He's probably. And then the drone will come by and this is going to be the end of him. So if you kids don't watch this one, but there you go, dead folks. This is not the future.

This is now.

Now these drones are going to be everywhere soon they're going to be part of Amazon delivery services, companies, I think, like Uber and Lyft and others that'll realize they're more logistics and transportation will start using these drones for maybe some traffic surveys or things like that. I'm going to ask you a question. How long you think it's going to be before the government figures out they've got eyes in the sky all over the United States and starts hijacking it themselves?

The answer is probably five minutes.

I'm not suggesting they're going to explode and kill you like that, but that, that's warfare right now. That's not the future.

I'm just suggesting to you that some nefarious actors can, terrorists can.

If you're listening on Apple and Spotify, please go to about the 48 minutes mark and watch that video.

Folks. How long do you think it's going to be before terrorists figure out they can do this, too? Oh, don't give any ideas. You don't think they have this idea? They're already talking about it. I wrote about this.

My book, the fight over there was the second book I read. There's a whole chapter on this. I wrote that book ten years ago when I lived in Maryland because this was a huge thing at the White House. Drones. In the beginning, I knew this was going to be a disaster.

How long do you think it's going to be before someone sends a, I'm not even going to say a group of drones into a heavily crowded area in the United States and you see exactly that.

You don't think they're planning this right now?

How long do you think it's going to be before government figures out they can use this to spy on people? You don't think it's happening right now?

And let me tell you one more thing. With warfare in the future, everything the United States has done for the last 50 or 60 years to build a hardware based operation. Hardware, I mean tanks f nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers, how long do you think it's going to be before bad actors figure that for a couple million dollars in drones, they can send some cargo ship out off the coast of the United States and let 10,000 drones go and cause chaos in New York City?

Folks, this ain't the future, man. This is now. And as a guy who was in the security space, who got paid to think about crazy shit that could happen so you don't have to, I'm doing the same thing for you now. The only safe place in the future from these drones is going to be inside with a hard ceiling. That's it.

And then when they figure out how to make drones what they already know, but when they figure out how to make them extra, extra small. The size of a house. Fly even inside is not going to be safe.

I want you to listen to Eric Prince. If you don't know. Eric Prince. Used to own Blackwater. He's on with Tucker here. He did an episode on this, and they. They dove into this drone warfare future. This is a guy who knows warfare. Well. I want you to listen to what he has to say on this, folks, and consider this a cautionary tale.

This future, where we here now, it's going to be really dangerous. Check this out.

Cassie Hunt
What will drones be able to do, do you think? Going in ten years, what will that look like?

Dan Bongino
You could load a face.

And between network surveillance and the facial recognition on that drone, find one person and fly into that person's head that fast.

Cassie Hunt
Seriously?

Dan Bongino
Yeah. So identity management privacy will become even more essential.

You think about how many cameras, how much data is being constantly collected everywhere. From street cameras, from door knock, from doorbell cameras, from facial recognition at the airport.

Privacy is really under attack. Yeah, well, I've noticed. And.

Cassie Hunt
And now TSA has decided to take your photograph every time you walk through. I went through yesterday and they had a, you know, stare into the screen and we'll assess your face. I said to the guy, is this mandatory? And he said, no, it's not. And I said, fuck that. I'm not doing that.

Dan Bongino
I agree with you.

Okay. I mean, but, like, what is that?

Cassie Hunt
Why are they doing that?

Dan Bongino
Uh, data aggregation.

Because they can.

I stopped on the chat. There's a guy, bewax. Like, uh, be y's thingia. Bewax. He says, that's bullshit, Dan. What a drama queen. Bewax. You'll be the first one dead. I'm sorry, brother, but you're too dumb to be in the chat.

Why do you think the TSA is doing that?

Because the government, which loves metadata, is already has a likely database of all your facial features. How long before they go? Listen, we think that guy's a domestic terrorist. Let's send out a little mini drone. Let's find out where he is. Oh, boom. Look, we just detected him. Posted an Instagram photo from east tuna fish. There you go, bewax. Listen, you really. This show's not for you. You're probably not that smart. Seriously, get out of the chat. You're making the collective IQ dumber. But you probably believe the government can be trusted with this, with all this technology.

Don't tell b wax that. He says, well, can't this all be hacked by bad actors who can maybe go, you don't even need to hack it. There's so much stuff online. What do you think about a guy like me? My pictures have, you know, many pictures I took this weekend. Probably about 800.

Oh, hack the drone.

Cassie Hunt
Speaker one.

Dan Bongino
Yeah.

None of this is hard.

Tucker. That conversation with Tucker, is he. Eric Prince is so right. How long before the government goes to a metadata database? Where is guy? Oh, look, there he is. Where is graphic user interface?

Sorry, inside joke. Why does always capitalize key? I just realized graphic user interface. Where is key?

Oh, look, there he is. This is little house fly drone drama queen. Good luck, buddy. So listen, welcome to show. Stay here. We're, you know, whatever. We're a free speech thing. But you're a moron, by the way. I haven't, haven't really got into details on this, but so many people showed up in Oklahoma City this weekend. I told, I think every single person at the book signing is going to this event. If you want to buy tickets for me and Tucker Carlson, we will be together on the live tour in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It is going to be bonkers. Ours is September 11. You'll see it on his website, Tucker Carlson Live with Dan Bongino. You click that red button. What does it say? Get tickets if you want to go. I will see you there. It's probably going to sell out, so get your tickets while you can buy.

I don't know you guys are going to be there. Tulsa, Oklahoma, September 11. The website is Tucker carlson.com. tucker carlson.com. just go to the live event, get tickets and we'll see you there. All right, folks, thank you so much for tolerating. It was a little bit of a technical hookup. That was my fault. It was not my crew. So cracking. Don't worry.

I know we're not supposed to talk about this up, but you guys are friends and family, so I let you in. We're doing major upgrades. A new studio opens soon. So Chatsters, Anita, you guys, the McGraws. We're going to do a little event. It's going to be limited seating. The studio is big, but it's not that big. But we're opening up soon and we're growing. We really appreciate it. Thanks for, you know, dealing with this. We're live streaming now. I promise you it's live. I don't know how to prove it. Hold up. I'd say I. Hold up. A newspaper.
