0:00All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. So I was coming into the office this morning and right outside the office, I saw one of these massive, what they call in Florida, a Palmetto bugs, which is hilarious because it's like a cool name for basically, right, Justin, what would be like a big roach. And they call them Palmetto's, Palmetto bugs. Now I've been in Florida 10 years. It's not like yesterday I've seen a lot of these, but these suckers never die. Anyone in Florida or even anywhere down south, or certainly not the only ones, the roaches down here and they're not those New York City, what are they? Like the German cockroaches or whatever. They're just, you know, Florida is like the bug capital world. So good reason for liberals not to come down here. Liberals are probably afraid of bugs because they're not outdoorsy. I've got something coming up on that for second too. I was a city kid. I'm having to learn outdoorsy. However, it's a good reason not to come to Florida. The Palmetto's and they can fly too.
1:02Those suckers will attack you sometimes. They don't typically, but they will. I was talking to one of the guys working here this morning. I'm like, dude, you got to hit these things with a freaking baseball bat for them to die. He's like, that thing's still alive. I'm like, unbelievably, it is. Speaking of outdoorsy, I got a pretty cool weekend update for you. Let me just preface this by saying this. I get it for the first time. You get what? For those of you out there who fish, I'm going to, let me finish the statement before you slay me in my own chat, by the way. I didn't get it. I only fished once when I was a kid off a bridge going to Rockaway with my friend Andy's father for a little bit. I didn't really catch anything. I was young. I was like 10 years old. And I really know what I was doing. We were sitting kids. We were sitting here. I barely learned to swim. I was in my teens. You know, there was no water around for us to go swimming outside of the beach. And most of the time, we couldn't get out there anyway. The fish and thing, I totally get it now. I had like
2:03a mini awakening this weekend. For those of you who fish, I totally get it now. I stay tuned. All right. I got a lot to talk about, including the absolute zeroes out there still getting exposed by the day. How this is all signal noise. You've got to see the signal through the noise. When you see the noise, you'll never unsee it. I promise you were on the right side of signal with this show. I promise. And the evidence is everywhere. All of these people start to collapse. All right. It's a national preparedness month. And this isn't just another made up observance. It was launched in 2004 in the wake of 9 11, one of the worst attacks on American soil. It was created to remind Americans to prepare for natural disasters, deliberate attacks, cyber attacks, and big emergencies. The goal is simple.

I know a lot of you on this show are kind of rugged outdoorsy type. I'm always straight with you man. It's not an attempt itself deprecating. Humors just the, you know, the truth. The truth is the
5:10truth. I hate people in these shows. The stuff will paint them out to be everything to everyone. They're like the state puff marshmallow man. They're always like repaid. I was a city kid. There are benefits to that. You kind of grow up a little edgy. You grow up kind of reading people really well. You know, I was great being a New York City cop, great being a secret service agent in New York. You know, you do get an edge to you. But the downside to it is I didn't, we didn't have a lot of money growing up. It's not a sob story, whatever, who really cares. But we didn't, we don't have a lot of money at all. So all the stuff that I think guys should know, you know, horseback riding, maybe do a little mountain climbing. I didn't get to do any of it. It's not a knock on my parents at all. They were great. Did what we could. My father used to take me to action park. If you ever seen the documentary and that was like the most action I had. But that's all we could do. I say that because now in my 50s, I regret not doing all this. I don't know how to ski. I barely learned to swim until I was a teenager. I'm not that great at it now. I've got this friend of mine.
6:14He's a really cool guy to stand this friend. Him and his family, guys like freaking Indiana Jones. There's nothing to do. Can't do spear fishing and he skis double black diamonds, jumps out of freaking helicopters. The dudes like freaking Indiana Jones and McGiver. He saved his wife once, choking on a piece of lobster by like doing something like crazy procedure. The guy is like, so he takes me out of his boat this week and we took a little trip with the family. And first day we went spear well, well, spear lobster. It's a little easier in the spear fishing. And I'm such a terrible swimmer. I got to tell you, I was not very good at it. All I did, I wanted them to. And I'm like, you know what? Give me this life now. I'm just going to float here and watch and I had fun watching. I'm floating in the water, got my snorkel. I'm like, I'll watch you guys kill some watching. It's kind of fun. But I wasn't very good at it. I'm just not a great swimmer. I can swim to like stay alive, not to go get Joey bag a lobster at the bottom. I'm just not good at it. But day two, he's like, I don't only fish once in my life. I know you're like, how could you not fish? You were do I just didn't know it takes a lot of time and I have we were now fishing. And man, I'm not kidding you. I just told you guys I sucked at spear fishing.
7:18Okay. So I'm not trying to be like the guy. I go out fishing the next day with him and his three boys, great kids. And the youngest one, Brendan's like this awesome kid. He's a little young kid and he's like, big fisherman guy. And talk about beginners luck. I wind up catching like 1215 fish in like an hour. It's total beginners luck. I'm not claiming he was any skill at all. Matter of fact, I bring up Brendan's name because he asked me, he goes, Hey man, where are you casting? I'm like, I don't know just out there. Why? I'm like, I don't know because I don't want to cross your line. That was it. Total beginners luck. We want to stay out there four or five hours. Paul was getting a little motion sickness at the end. So we had to come back. I could have stayed out there all day. I'm just saying I get it now. I totally get it. The most relaxing thing. And the reason I bring it up to tie it to this story today. I thought about this. What we're going to talk about in today's show is folks as a movement. This was one of the few times in my life in the last few years, which had been really chaotic, where I had like this many awakening moment.
8:18I'm fishing out there. It's raining, by the way. The weather wasn't even great. We're in this, we're in the Atlantic off the Bahamas, right? We're catching some grunts, some yellow tail, some group or even a barracuda. I had a guy in a fight with a barracuda. He won rip the whole line off. But I got to tell you, man, I had a seriously like a mini awakening. I had this moment where all the noise like one quiet, it's just sound like weirder. You get it. Really? I felt like now I get why people do this. Like the signal became clearer because the noise got really, really dim. And I came back today, obviously we had labor day off yesterday when you spent some time with your families. You have to do shows every day. It's more important you be with your family. And I thought to myself, folks, you see all the noise out there, all the people out there who go after me and go after people in the Trump administration yet produce nothing but noise. The second you ask them to produce a signal, what happens? They get sued, they get defamation suits, they produce no receipts
9:20at all. They produce endless, endless data points unrelated to actual evidence. They never produce anything. And I'm telling you this because I know you're in the right place. And I know when this all settles down in a couple of years, this acute moment in time politics never settles completely. But when this moment settles down, I am absolutely certain of this. Certain as my name is Dan Bongino, I'll cut off my right arm if this doesn't have. I am sure when this is over and the record is complete. And you see our body of work, what we put together, not just me at the FBI, but the administration versus the defamation suits, the lies. And people get all exposed as the truth gradually seeps out. You're going to say, I wish I hadn't wasted time with the noise and it focused more on the signal too. I promise, folks, we got a lot of things going on. We got, you know, the 25th anniversary of the worst terror attack on US soil in our history in 9-11. We got the sad anniversary
10:24of Charlie's murder. We've got multiple trials going on right now, which you would think due process would matter to people who call themselves lovers of liberty. It just doesn't to these people. It just doesn't. They hide behind their positions and their ex accounts. Trust, trust process. You can't say I respect the constitution and do process and then throw process out when you want to attack people for political reasons. People are entitled to the presumptions of innocence and constitutional protections. It's really sad, folks, but I promise you over time, you will never regret being part of this audience ever. So this happened this weekend too, related to the news. Because again, you hear a lot of noise about what people speculate on and nothing happened. And though this came out and the only reason I bring this up is I debated putting this into the show, but it's certainly a news item
11:25and it was on the front cover of the New York Times. I found out like you did, my cousin Susan sent me a text and said, hey, you're on the cover of the New York Times. I said, okay, that's interesting. It's a story about the COVID investigation that picture me. It looks so mean in that picture at Fauci. And I basically got hit by some university professor on the article who says one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. So I want to put up what the article says about our investigation at the beginning of it in the New York Times. It says in early 2025, a damn, the fiery, fiery, obviously, we can't turn without a nerfer. The fiery number two official of the FBI summoned dozens of agents to the bureaus washed in headquarters. Mr. Bangeino, a conservative media personality recently elevated the deputies role demanded to know why a year's long inquiry into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic installed. And my investigators had out more forcefully scrutinized the role of government
12:26scientists, current and former official sites. So you know, you can read the article yourself. It's in the New York Times by Benjamin Mueller and Glenn Thrasch. Check it out if you want. I'm not even putting it up for like an SPS phone to put it up because I went and saw it. And then I go on the ex account because I couldn't get any service out there in the ocean. I get back and I see this response from a guy who gave me my name, right? My name is Dan Natham. But it's okay. Everybody does that. So, you know, Craig Calhoun on ex, that Craig was a Craig J. Calhoun. He is, I guess, a professor at ASU. He says, he says, Don Bangeino is ignorant and destructive. But one has to admit, he's determined inside the DOJ's investigation of Fauci and other virus scientists and he attaches the article. So I just responded to him. I mean, what's ignorant or destructive about demanding answers? Now, of course, the haters out there who want to be all noise and no signal will insist to you that nothing's happening about this case or any other case out there despite the fact that all
13:30of these items continue to happen. I can't tell you this enough. This battle with the Follex Maga, people on our side who are nothing but nihilists and want to see this country collapse under the weight of Democrat socialist rule have no perspective on the real fights right now. They just want to see the country burn exactly like the Democratic Socialists. Well, the undemocratic Socialists. Folks, at that little moment fishing this weekend, I really, this kind of little mini-awakening where you just drown the noise out. You see pure signal for the first time in a while. Was another reminder of what's really important. We got a lot going on this week. You've got the RNC. I've got some travel. Some of the shows are going to look a little different. Some of the, we'll be here at 10 a.m. May have to record a little bit early in a couple of shows just to throw that out there. But drowning out the noise is really hard. It is. Separating from the signal from the noise this week is going to be critical. We've got an election coming up. Try to challenge your priors always. Things you believe question it. It's the best thing you can do.
14:37We have real fights going on, folks. And the noise hustlers out there, they're going to throw this whole thing away before the election. Folks, we've got real fights coming up. Real, they're not coming up. They're here. You've got the persistent threat of a terror attack. You've got the growing threat of a cyber attack in US soil. You've got the Chinese Communist Party sabre rattling over Taiwan. You've got, you know, Russia and Ukraine ongoing. You live in a very dangerous world. I love the sunsets of night. I love this, you know, serenity of being with friends. But the hard reality is we live in a world full of challenges. And you get these people talking about these things they just make up on X to distract people. So I said to you last week that some of this stuff right now really matters. These national security fights that I saw going on behind the scenes during the past year of my life. The President Trump is dealing with right now our grave, folks. And we have heroes and patriots out there wearing our military uniform and others
15:40in our intel and law enforcement space who are fighting the bad guys every day. They're the signal. So I said to you last week that I had received a letter in email, I should say, to be precise. A long time ago from a friend of mine, I trained in the Secret Service Academy. He was a rookie agent. I was a citizen instructor. I was very quiet. He was a, in our member of our military. And he kind of out of the blue sent me an email that changed my life. It did because it was one of those any other many awareness moments from my life where these, I just saw a pure signal. I read it on my Fox show when I had the show on weekend, unfiltered. It's about two minutes. But folks, you want to separate signal from noise and see the real fights and learn to drown out, to grifters, the bombs, the full X, mega people, the fake conservatives, the nihilists. Listen to what this hero saw on what these real patriots, these men and women fighting for everything we stand for overseas have to go through in the
16:44baggage they take, called not just physical, not just the damage physical, but the mental damage they bring back as well. Hopefully you'll never have to write an email like this in your life. I strongly encourage you to listen to all of us. Check this out. I want you to listen to this. It's not going to be easy, but I think you need to hear it. This is an email from a very close friend of mine. I've known for a long time. He served several tours of duty in Afghanistan. And it speaks to the damage some of these soldiers, these heroes overseas bring back with them. Some of it isn't all physical. He said this. He wrote to me, a lot of people don't understand what it's like coming home from combat after doing things for your country. We have to live with what we've done. I feel I forfeit in any chance to see my daughters in the afterlife. When your ROEs were to smoke check anyone with a shovel and an orange bucket, including kids, it was like the wild west. And your enemy changes you.
17:46You grow a hate inside you that you can't come to terms with. You watch your Marines die. You watch them get maimed. Loosing legs, arms, private parts all the while, knowing the locals knew where the IEDs and ambushes were, but they didn't tell you during one of the many sure as you sat in on. Usually they were 15, 20 pounders, which would take out a leg or both. Sometimes a hand and part of the arm if you were carrying your weapon at a low ready. The worst was a 50 to 75 pounder. That turned you into what we called pink mist. We backed the truck up and put the pieces in the back using a poncho and the kid next to him was in shock while dropping every ordinance we had from fixed rotary wing artillery and mortars. My friend went on to write, you hate yourself because you lived. You hate yourself because your Marine killed himself
18:49when we got home and you couldn't prevent it. You hate yourself because you get drunk texts from your Marines telling you they love you and thanking you for what you did for them over there. But they're hurting because you had to give them orders to kill kids. You have to carry that hate for the rest of your life. It doesn't go away. It's actually gotten worse. You have nightmares almost every night. You hardly sleep. Your daughters die in really bad ways in your dreams and you fear it's punishment for what you did and they may come true. But America doesn't care now. You're a statistic at best. You're hated at worst. And that can one gets me every time. You see why I get so
19:50riled up and passionate you know upset it. The doom and gloom class out there that wants to turn our country over to people like the socialists who want to attack these heroes and defund them. Do you understand the damage these people come back with that email? Forget you know awakening and fishing like that email just I was not in the military. So I can't relate that email. Open the aperture on my eyeballs like I'd never ever seen before. It was like being colorblind and seeing color for the first time like you're just stunned. By how much you feel you missed about the mental damage these people bring home. These heroes. I had a hard time reading that on the show. I'm going to tell you when we did that I
20:56was having a really hard time getting through it. Folks we've got real fights coming up and I'm going to tell you something. Our fight just asking people to show up and vote to save our country from the destruction and entire class of politicians and people would bring upon us. Our fight pales in comparison to what these heroes bring back. Can you imagine the psychological trauma they have to deal with every day that thank the Lord. You know you you and I will never understand. You got the 25th anniversary in 9-11 coming up. The sad anniversary of our all of our friend Charlie being you know murdered on for all of us to see on ax seemingly in almost live time. And we're getting lost in like conspiracy crap directed at us all this is cannibalism theory
21:59on the left turned over to the right. The left does this. What happens is the left gains power and because they still have to keep their grift going what they do is they wind up turning on themselves and eating themselves alive. I never thought this would happen on a I really didn't not to the degree it has where dishonest merchants of lies are out there talking a bunch of crap it doesn't even matter they get sued they get all this they've never produced an ounce of evidence and yet they double and triple down because they know at that point they're too far in the abyss there's no coming back up the submersibles been cut off. It's a damn shame to watch. It's a damn shame to watch. Folks we have elections to win and as I said our fight pales in comparison to what that fine fine damn fine individual went through. I'll tell you his version his name is Jason because I
23:01think you gave me but I'm not going to tell you his last name obviously my name is Jason and I promise you he is a very real person living with very real pain. We have elections to win folks and there's a lot of signal to pay attention to and although I told you I had some kind of many awakening this weekend really seeing like the noise filter down for the first time it tends to like pollute your brain sometimes. We can't have a many awakening we need to have a country wide awakening coming up in this election because we got a real fight ahead and I'm going to give you some real signal some real things that happen in contrast to the doomer crowd and their lawsuits and their lies and all of that these are real things this administration can can and has produced. I want to take a quick break as I need a like many of you and I appreciate all the American flags in the chat that really I think I know Jason watches the show sometimes and he'll probably text me
24:03later about it but I know he'd appreciate knowing that a lot of you are out there with those American flags in the chat who still see that signal and know how much this republic matters like that because he deserves it and so to all all of the heroic men and women out there putting their butts on the line for not a lot of money at all because so we can sit here and you know watch our you know Yellowstone episode it's on our phone or our iPad yeah tear it up in the chat that's the way it goes down all right signal coming up because we always bring receipts unlike the full x mega crew quick break folks we're still a couple months out but the midterms are fast approaching and make no mistake if the house flips it's a big deal for our economy that uncertainties one of the reasons I'm diversified with gold from birch gold group and I'm not the only one in the three months leading up to the 2024 presidential election the spot price at gold
25:05jumped over 12% why is that many investors considered it a hedge against economic uncertainty if you don't own gold I would suggest talking with birch gold I use them b i r c h they'll discuss your goals and explain how precious metals can fit into your savings they can even help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA and gold for no additional money at a pocket with an eight plus rating with the better business bureau and tens of thousands of happy customers birch gold can help you too text my name dan to the number nine eight nine eight nine eight get a free information kit and get some solid information the midterms will be here before you know it don't wait text dan to nine eight nine eight nine eight message and data rates may apply man those stuff legs and the chatter still going and see it as that thank you birch gold we appreciate it today show also brought to you by breakouts nutrition listen these weight loss injections are everywhere but here's the catch about 15% of users quit because of the cost another 15% stop because of side effects a while back I want to drop some pounds I just gone through a really nasty medical crisis I was not
26:07eating well I gained probably 20 30 extra pounds was not great you probably see it actually in the fox club I was a little needed to drop a few I call miles from brick house nutritionist and I said miles you got a product he said I do he said try lean LEAN it'll get you lean I said oh really let me give it a shot no I lost well over 30 pounds I weighed in this morning about 200 probably I need to take a couple lean this week because I ate a little much over the weekend down in the bottom is there I chose lean from brick house nutrition because it works here's why weight loss shots work by helping control blood sugar and appetite so you eat less no arguments shots can work for many people but lean was doctor formulated to do similar things naturally lean help tackle my hunger and help support steady energy without constant cravings and lean did something injections don't I'd help my body turn fat into energy so I'd burn fat instead of storing it my favorite part lean is a nutritional supplement is not an injection no prescriptions no needles I lost weight with lean and I believe you can too so go to brickhousenutrition.com slash Dan use promo code Dan for 20% off

30:12build by me folks it wasn't built by me I just told you big in the show I'm not really the outdoorsy time I wish I could build a building like this I didn't Ronnie built it and his team getting dirt under their fingernails the economy's never been better for working class americans is it as a perfect it's never perfect federal workforce that you're paying for is going down and down and as we cut unnecessary spending we cut something like four hundred million dollars from the FBI budget alone wasted real estate parking garages we didn't need offices we weren't using subscriptions to online magazines no one had opened in years this happened throughout the federal government here's another one this is a fox business hit from last week this is stuff I mean really this is this stuff matter if it doesn't this is the wrong show for you if you're interested in the noise go on x follow the doom and gloom crowd and hear them endlessly support their own defamation suits and lies over and over again never answering with any facts and I don't know I guess you'll be
31:15happy I'm not like that I when you talk about this country and liberty talk about it with the smiles I've said many times here's the jobs report that came out last week for everyone not just working class americans but people in all kinds of different spaces and areas it was an insanely good jobs report we're just going to ignore this pre-election I'm not check this out you're just August job report look at that 162,000 non-parameterals added last month that was triple the estimate June and July revised higher by a total of 55,000 so the summer wasn't so bad after all the economy saw solid hiring and leisure and hospitality of 62,000 in August government added 35,000 education and health services added 29,000 but pay attention look at construction and manufacturing look at that boom AI data centers unemployment rate remained unchanged 4.1 percent despite an increase in the labor force participation rate more folks are looking for work I think
32:17that's a good sign folks signal signal signal I can't say this enough we have an election happening right now not tomorrow not the next day early voting starts in freaking like February now we don't have a choice but to take this fight on this fight pales in comparison to what our patriots many of you in this chat have had a take on overseas in the fight for freedom around the world okay all we're asking people to do and I know you'll do it because your patriots too this fight pales in comparison is grab 10 people tell them how to vote take them to the polls register them get them registered just help 10 people vote as well and if we do that if we show up we have a good chance to take this signal even further over the next two years and not have to deal with two years of Democrat impeachments your weaponization of government again endless garbage crap hearings about everything else other than what matters to you so we've got the workforce booming manufacturing
33:17returning the border closed the streets are being cleaned up dramatically crime rates dropping you got some more how yeah I got some more what about the illegal population of the United States that was being used by the Democrats to create a massive welfare state they talk about it all the time how they use demographic destiny to change the demographics of the country the Democrats talk about this all the time we have a 20-minute supercut of it to change the country rapid response 47 again according to c is dot or dare or c is underscore rorgan x the net change in the overall size of the illegal population in the United States is a quote extraordinary decline of 2.3 million since January of 2025 is that every illegal got no is there more work to do yes that's a pretty dramatic decline I want you to do some simple math in your head I'm going to help you here
34:17the Democrats talk about this thing called replacement theory all of them don't let them oh you racist Republicans in replacement theory it's their thing I've played this thing I'm not going to play it again today there's a 20-minute supercut producer Jim put together of Democrats talking about how they're going to replace you how they're going to bring in a legal because they're losing American citizen voters in blue states they need a legal there it is there's an actual article in the New York Times thank you and however you guys are great with this we can replace them Michelle Goldberg New York Times it's right that's a real headline look it up they've written about this folks there's about 700,000 roughly people in a congressional district if you get rid of 2.3 million illegal who do not belong here and broke the law to get here the Democrats demographic destiny argument that they talk about all time look it up you start to massively lose electoral college and congressional representation you garnered
35:23by a listen illegal means this is the only reason they want to legal in the country with political power they don't care about illegals at all they don't know they do no they don't they care about political power using illegal aliens are just a tool for them I promise you you want me to prove it to well be hard to bid if illegal aliens were somehow like mind wiped into all voting for Republicans tomorrow the Democrats will be like shut the world build the wall shut it down ship everybody out they would be like we need to give ICBP to trillion in funding they don't care about illegals they care about using them for political power they've talked about it over and over Donald Trump and the Trump administration and his law enforcement and DOJ folks have engaged in an unprecedented deportation effort to send a message that you can come here but you have to come here legally and if you don't you've got to go and the Democrats are losing their minds
36:31here's one more I'm not even done you've got the Iran doomers yes I believe me I am very I can't say this enough I'm glad that Republicans engage in intra party back in force it was happening this weekend over a proposal to give some government taxpayer money to families that have a stay at home parent I'll get to that in a second there's a big back and forth if you were on X you've seen it all weekend there's a lot of back and forth on Iran that's a good thing but I'm saying like in addition to some bad news I guess it didn't go acts exactly as planned point stipulated I don't think anyone's gonna argue that when we get some good news are we gonna cover that too we're just gonna play the doom and gloom side Iran's oil dollars are drying up and plunging it deeper into a crisis our brave heroes in the United States military there was some story this weekend I found fascinating about how Navy SEAL teams had to go and obviously great risk to themselves it take care of the mine crisis in the street and they cleaned it up because
37:35that's what they do hey you want to go near this mine and place a charge you you could die I think that's fairly obvious not everybody goes to work every day with the up a 20% chance of dying thank God I'm not using his name and vein not our seals in our military we control the straight now and Iran is starving right now they're starving them out of economic funds again bad news we should cover that too and we will we still got a debt crisis I'm not happy with what's going on with the debt I think growth will be a big contributor but we have to cut spending and not every idea Republicans put out there obviously is a great one and that's the great part about being a conservative is when you divorce out the full-lex mega people who never say anything of substance at all it's all BS you have a lot of really substantive conservatives who just disagree and that's okay it's healthy part about being a party or else you can vote for this kind of crap I saw this this weekend
38:41and I thought to myself I had forgotten about this now when I this is what your alternative is Hollywood academia you've got jelly roll now like what the hell was out about you've got this Macklemore got you've got a bunch of like goofballs Hollywood academia even some sports figures musicians they don't know anything all the earths out there spouting a bunch of crap and garbage this is the Democrat base I'm going to show you how ignorant the Democrat base is with actual numbers and receipts in a minute but this was rolling around X this weekend now the guys didn't they remembered it but they weren't working here when this went down Paula was producing the show and the 2016 election when Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are running against each other this is the alternative if you succumb to the doom and gloom and don't show up and vote do you remember this video these musicians and singers put together for Hillary Clinton this is real dumb dumb yes it is dumb this is real not a lot of y'all
39:50I love the same way this is for Hillary who is that Mindy Bore something like that who are these people I know that one that's cursed cursed in or Christ in China we hear something that's ever I don't know who these other people are this was Justin was like wait you got to listen to the end I go I really can he's like there's like a rap that happens at the end or some folks this is what do you understand like our side the signal this is the noise coming from the left whenever you bring up anything of substance outside the Democrats singing and screaming and yelling and giving like what appears to be drunken speeches out there everything of substance they say of actual substance here we go it gets better this actually happened this actually happened this actually happened to this
40:53week away queue up the Amy acting Amy Acton's running for governor and Ohio against Vivek Ramaswami she shows up at an event this weekend folks I don't know what happened before there's a lot of allegations going around on Twitter that she may have been drunk I don't know I don't know what she was drinking a mule is in the chat I'm gonna need more muttlies after this one she has a this is the other side like we have real fights you got to drown out the noise focus on the signal immigration a legal immigration is down crime is being now finally attacked and contained we've got finally some progress going on in rent we've got manufacturing renussons blue collar workers now making money building things again in the United States we got the signal to focus on drown out the noise here's the candidate for governor in the swing state of Ohio this while you tell me was there a couple of bud lights involved before because I don't really know what happened here but this was going around x2 this week and talk about noise check this out everybody happy liberty oh good to see everyone it is so good to see you all here to dance a
42:04little warm thank you it's a little hot but we are absolutely sitting in that inflection point I'm honored to be here and honored to be with all of you in this moment look I'm a doctor I am not a politician I'm becoming one right in front of your eyes my last election was in high school okay I did win so we're one for one in elected office we're on the winning streak I don't know what's going on there I'm not really sure where there's some skinny girl margarita is going around I don't I don't know I don't really care to speculate I'm just saying like do you really want this woman for governor in the state of Ohio a critical swing state that's finally back to some you know good quality candidates and leadership going on here do you really want that folks every single time you ask the democrats and the doom and gloom gloom gloom crowd to produce actual signal not noise not
43:10garbage not crap not theories you can't back up not a bunch of data points unrelated to them who's a bank rob didn't Nebraska okay that's really horrible I think you did it you flew over Nebraska well when what are you even talking about I flew over Nebraska's at that a point I was nowhere near the back I landed in what I know it's at that I landed in California what are you even talking about they do this all the time look what happens when you actually tell people who plan on voting democrat with their new socialist communist lean when you actually tell them say hey this is what they support the you support that this is how dumb a lot of these people I'm sorry this is just pure unadulterated ignorance unlike that professor in the beginning of the show who was upset for me demanding answers on the covid day that was it maybe you should demand answers this is a great piece by the way mark pen I'm pretty sure is a democrat pollster so no one's going to tell me the pieces by it it's called socialism and the dumbest generation in the Wall Street Journal
44:12they note the democrat socialist of America have called for a quote an adequate income for all and a guaranteed federal job paying a living wage to anyone who wants one hold that up there second oh that sounds all cute how nice adequate income for all who's gonna argue with that right a government job though so you're gonna go work for the government they know but the poll finds that 77% of registered voters under 25 young people a lot of them claim to believe in socialism believe their paycheck should be based on quote the merit and value of their work that belief is even more prevalent amongst older vote oh voters so they love the idea of a government job for all until you actually asked them do you want to work for the government of the private sector and overwhelming majorities of them even younger voters go no no I don't want to work for the would that's what they want that's their signal here's another one 68% of young voters say they want to own their own home
45:19meanwhile Shay Weaver Mamdani's director of the New York City office to protect tenants has declared that private property and especially home ownership is a weapon of white supremacy and that housing should be regarded as a collective good again all these kids get confused by the noise and when they see the signal they realize it's noise they don't actually support this stuff man it doesn't support any of this stuff it's all a scam and just getting back to the beginning of the show i'm desperately trying to avoid the magma movement in a republican party from getting pulled into this cannibalistic vortex by people who are not there for the right just like what happened with the democrats where they eventually eat themselves alive folks we got to stay focused we can't one up the democrats on democrat policies this party is never going to be the party of
46:21huge expansive government government has a basically a principal agent problem and a third party pay or problem when you hand your money to a third party who spends it quote for you it's not his money and he's not buying anything for himself this man or woman in congress so they don't care as Milton Friedman said about the cost of what they're buying or the quality it's why government can outside of our military and law enforcement will be again we can't have a mercenary army after the incentives are all wrong right outside of our military and law enforcement there's almost nothing the government will ever do right therefore i'm always suspicious of any government program and it's fine it's healthy to go out there and debate this stuff let take my last break and i'm going to show you how in case you think like oh you know we never talk about other stuff that maybe may sidetracked the republican movement and you know we don't this is not the polyanna show either i've addressed the debt crisis the social security crisis the medicare medicate crisis over and over
47:25and over again i just want to give you a realistic take and i think on net if you were to put all these policies in a spreadsheet the net present value is positive and i make the investment in america and not the democrat socialist of america quick break and i'm going to show you what i think is not is i've actually an extremely bad idea and i'm seeing more and more of this bubble up into republican party it is a absolutely terrible idea and i'm sorry but there's no one's ever going to convince me into this this is a good idea last break came one of the best parts of my morning routine is that first cup of coffee you know i tasted that first bowl tasting but never bitter cup of coffee from blackouts change your whole day before the craziness of the day kicks in a strong cup of blackout coffee it's fantastic take a few minutes to yourself you can drown out the noise and more for me it's blackout coffee we love it this is one of the best brews out there check this out brutal awakening you get it br e w br c were you did there brutal awakening well i love brutal awakening it's bold it's smooth it's fresh roasted it's one of the little things
48:28it makes the morning a little better weekend coffee tastes great but so does weekday coffee when everything's quiet and i'm not standing in line every morning to pay seven bucks for it's basically a milkshake with a little coffee in it blackout coffee is a small american company takes their coffee seriously and shares our values and here's what i want you to do check it out don't just buy a bag join the coffee club pick your favorite coffee tell them oh off of you often you want it blackout takes care of the rest you get member pricing free shipping double reward points and the longer you're in the club the more perks and surprises they send your way it's great coffee at home on your schedule no lines no seven dollar coffee no nonsense go to blackout coffee dot com slash bongino use code bongino for 20% off your first order that's blackout coffee dot com slash bongino join the coffee club upgrade your morning you'll thank me later blackout coffee dot com slash bongino check it out so folks again like there are not this is never going to be the pollyanna everything's utopia show either there are some bad ideas out there and i'm seeing a small crop of
49:30republicans who think we can out democrats the democrats out democrats the democrats i'm big government policy i saw this in the washington post this morning and i thought to myself this is just a really horrendous idea that's only going to further exacerbate the problem washington post steve Thompson as social security funds run dry some republicans say it's time to raise taxes folks this is not going to solve the problem social security is going broke by 2032 don't take my word for it their actuaries who are who one could claim they're trying not to be partisan their own actuaries even under democrat administrations have had to admit there's no money there the problem social security has is not the tax base when you increase taxes even more than we're paying now what's going to happen is people engage in tax avoidance and tax avoidance will not give you extra money you need and even if it did it'll take money out of the free market economy and stop the economy from growing to a point we need to pay off this mess of debt social security as a middle
50:30man problem okay it the problem it has is it lied to people and told people in the chat and elsewhere that we're going to take your money which you did pay in absolutely that you and promises were made to you and it said we're going to basically save it for you for later they did not save it for later they did no such thing they took the money and spent it i'm sorry you're going to be the bearer bad news i know people don't want to hear it but i'm trying to solve the problem we can take care of this generation of retirees if we acknowledge a problem and try to fix it with that money would have been saved and would have been sitting in any kind of ETF or anything like that the social security crisis would be minimum right now it's not what they did will be small they took it and they spent it raising taxes is not going to solve this everybody knows what the problem is the trust fund was spent the only way to enforce this now to reinforce social security is to use our powerful free market and this explosion and stock market value in other assets in the u.s. economy to help the
51:30next generation of seniors it's the only way there are substantive arguments to be having it's just noise here you have a bunch of problems with government programs i tried to write them down and show you a video in a second of the problems with Medicare and Medicaid to number one with any government program you're going to have massive fraud this fraud exists in the private sector yes why is fraud in the government almost always worse than it is in the private sector free market economy because the government doesn't have any incentive to control spending it's not their money and it's not their product fraud is rampant i'll show you that coming up in a second the money was not saved the government lied to you they acted like they took your money and put it in a lock box and that's not what they did they just spent it it's not there they have a bunch of fake ios inflation eight away the value of what would have been there even if it was the ir user ios or even less than worthless now and there was no immediate transfer so the money they pretended was sitting there which was really just sitting in fake ios after inflation eight away wasn't there any way to begin with
52:34we can fix this stuff you got dr. arson bobby kennedy trying to clean up massive fraud in our healthcare space taking away Medicare money and Medicaid dollars from seniors and others they had a massive massive hit on this this is some more kind of good news now we can fix these problems if we drown out the noise and focus on the signal which the administration's doing but the doimmers are telling you they're not check this out got to deal with the fraud issues and here's why they're not just stealing your money they're stealing your health because they don't care about stealing from poor people they'll take your health away they're stealing nations trust medic care medicaid were created in a high trust environment we assume people would do the right things we now are experiencing about a hundred billion dollars up to after the year much because of the the covid pandemic impact on teaching criminals to move into health care and we believe if we could just take the fraud out of medicare we would double the life expectancy of the medicare trust fund which means not only would you have it for your retirement but it could be there for your kids as well that's what has happened yeah we already stopped 42 billion dollars came brand to leads this
53:34program at medicare is already taking 42 billion dollars just by not shipping the money out of the building the number one issue is don't let the criminals get the money from you folks this has been a problem with government pre-Trump 47 administration forever pay and catch later they would pass out all this government money to a bunch of entities they probably had a good idea was fraudulent and they would say hey FBI OIG DEA others go and get them later I've tried to tell you I'm very proud of the work we did there but there's not a workforce large enough nor would you want it you don't want a 200,000 member FBI you've got local police for a lot of you you want someone to enforce federal crime there is not enough federal law enforcement folks out there to go and chase all this fraudulent money the Trump administration turned the whole thing on its head and said I've got a better idea let's stop the money from going out the door first so we don't have a pay and catch a pay and chase later that we chase the money out to begin with in the beginning before it
54:39gets out we chase it out of the fraud pipeline this was a revolutionary approach listen you can knock the Trump administration all you want it's your right is a free American citizen but the fact that they change the entire criminal illegal enforcement mechanism using title aim getting illegal's out not putting them in jails waiting for them to plea and then hoping some blue city mayor didn't let them out that was a it was a sea change in federal law enforcement that paid massive dividends this idea too of cutting off the payment pipeline in advance and not chasing the money later was unique to this administration to the degree they did it I do want to cover something else too I mentioned it earlier because I feel like you should hear both sides there is a proposal floating around out there to give taxpayer dollars to a a stay at home family member who's taking care of the kids from an existing pot of child care money folks on its face if it's an
55:40existing pot of money that may go to others I get how this would appeal to some people my concern my concern about this is that the Democrats are looking for an opening right now and looking to basically get Republicans to go along with what's called a UBI a universal basic income and my fear is that this could become a vehicle for that the universal basic income is probably one of the most destructive ideas politically I've seen surface on the economic front political economics in a long time it's the idea that we should pay people a universal across the board basic income amount whenever it may be 30,000 50,000 folks it's a bad idea the economics of over the bad and the incentive structure is even worse it's a terrible idea the problem with a universal basic income is this it creates massive cliffs where people say no matter how you do it if you were to give say someone 50,000 dollars and they don't have to work and say it was inflation
56:43it's not a ton of money but there are a lot of people out there who don't want to get off their butts and go to work who are just going to take it and the problem is if they're offered a job at 55,000 they only net 5,000 extra dollars from going to work 40 hours a week if they consider it home do nothing and get 50 it's a really bad idea no matter how you structure it massive cliffs are created second as I've said to you often with my hat tips to not just our military but working class Americans out there truckers plumbers electricians HVAC repairman you know people out there bust in their ass grave diggers bust in their ass for a living folks there is value in what you do the ability to manipulate objects steal wood all this create incredible carpentry and beautiful buildings there's a value that you did that you created build this studio you did there's value to that when we pay people to sit at home we steal away from them we steal
57:45away from them to awful incentives the desire to go and change why use to terminate the world and obviously it's a bad it has a negative connotation but to restructure the world for a more prosperous tomorrow you can be a part of that a UBI takes that all away it sucks the life at a people and that's my fear I know there's been a lot of back and forth on X it's fine that's healthy and I'm open to kind of a here and how this should be done with existing because we're having a real problem with the welfare state is if we're gonna have it if we're gonna have it and that's just kind of a fate of complete I hope it isn't but we're gonna have it I'd rather at least be more efficient but we do have to be concerned about that paying people to not work steals away everything God gave them this ability to go into the world and use your brain and muscle to change the world for better for the better speaking of Bobby Kennedy and make America healthy again you know I try to throw in these little health hacks at the end of the show because I think it's they put together little I love these things I'm obsessed with health hacks after this weekend
58:51out there in the ocean stepping on the beach sand that if you do a little grounding I felt great I came home I felt amazing this morning getting I was gonna be a busy week but I'm ready to go one of the reasons I'm always ready to go every day and I learned this the hard way I did not prioritize sleep in my life growing up I didn't I was almost proud of the fact that I didn't sleep out I was like hey I slept like four hours less I went to work folks not a badge of honor anymore they are finding out really devastating things about short sleeping every night it is the damage done to your body if you had a fix one thing one thing if you had nothing else fix diet exercise all this I would say if you only had time to fix one thing you're like I'm going to eat crappy I'm still not gonna exercise fix your sleep I know we're all like we're all hard workers the problem is if you sleep less than I'll show you a place video in a minute say six hours or so if you sleep less than that consistently the problem is your ability to work the next day even though you may get in a few more hours is far less productive than it would be if you just slept seven
59:55or eight hours and probably worked even a little bit less it's really destructive fix your sleep first everything else is important but second to sleep check this out they took a group of healthy men and they subjected them to sleep deprivation for one week which was around six hours per night just on one week and what they found over just that seven day period was that they had a epigenetic change of three percent so they they changed their genome so we have around 20,000 genes in our human genome they changed three percent of this genome so they changed around I think it was seven hundred and eleven genes for the worse for the worse hold on a minute did you say they were deprived just for one week but the sleep deprived individuals were sleeping six hours a night yes right six hours a night that's the problem is actually what some people are happy if they're getting six hours a night that's that hey how to great night I slept for six hours yeah and that was the sleep deprivation so that impacts the way your genes are expressed
1:01:01the one sandman in the Chad cracks me up and say I sleep six plus hours every night that's why I got my name one sandman in the Chad well you really nailed it little sand in the eyeballs when you wake up in the morning folks I had to make this change it listen sometimes it's not possible it's just sometimes it's not possible I mean you you go out on a weekend you know you get up you go to sleep late you still get up early whatever enjoy yourself you know I'm not telling you to be neurotic about any of this stuff that would be ridiculous sometimes you got a busy day you got a kids event you got to work and you're just saying I'm just saying if you had a prioritize one big change in your life the majority of the time it's sleep and it totally changed my life I made it happened no matter what I had a structured time I went to sleep every night I had to do it and it really did to completely totally changed my life so you know we're running our contest our 1776 contest where we give away once a week 1,776 dollars to a listener viewer of the show you have to tune in live at 10 a.m. Eastern time every single day join the chat we pick a comment a day once a
