We ask him about a lot of things, including that disastrous border bill, which was a total train wreck. He also broke some news about debates, which was covered by some media channels, but notably not others. Take a look, all right folks, welcome back.
I want to get right to our guest, President Donald J. Trump.
President Trump, welcome back to the show.
It's always good to have you, my friend. How are you?
Well, thank you dan very much.
Mr. President, let's get right to it.
This border bill abomination, this bill is a disgrace to humankind. I read your true social post about it. I think you feel the same way. We had a great border with you.
The numbers speak for themselves. What should happen next with this abomination of a bill?
Well, it shouldn't even be considered. I think it's dead in the house, I don't think anybody's going to go for it, it's terrible. It's also a way of shipping tens of billions of dollars out of our country into other countries.
We, we shouldn't be doing that. Everything should be separate. If we're going to do Ukraine and whatever country we may be talking about, they should all be separate. They're lopping it all into one bill, you don't need a border bill.
We had the safest border in the history of our country. I didn't need a border bill, I went to Mexico, I got, stay in Mexico, I call it, remain in Mexico.
I got things that nobody believed. I got twenty eight thousand soldiers given free of charge by Mexico, by the Mexican government to protect our border. And if they didn't do that, I would have done something like tariffs on cars, etc. But it's not that it was so easy to get. They weren't exactly thrilled about it.
But we had the safest border in history. I didn't need a border bill. I said close up the border, just like you would do Dan. I said close up the border, and they closed up the border.
Border Patrol is fantastic, the people at ICE are fantastic. These people do a great job. When they hear something like that from somebody they respect, that's what they do.
So we had a closed border, we let people in legally, they came in legally, but we had the best numbers with the best border in the history of our country. Actually, so I didn't need a border bill. This bill is a disaster.
This bill has five thousand people a day potentially coming into our country. It doesn't make sense, I don't know. I thought it was a typo, I thought they made a typo.
Yeah, Mr. President, we have a real problem in the Republican Party.
Some people just don't get it.
Now, listen, there's a bunch of online Twitter saying, Well, President Trump endorsed senator.
Lankford You know what?
I get asked for endorsements all the time and people let you down.
But we've got to stop this.
Is there a possibility of endorsing an opponent to Senator Lankford if they don't back off this? Because Mr. President, this bill is not a MAGA bill at all, this isn't it, this is a keep every.
This is a Make everyone else Great again bill and Make America Worse bill.
Well, just to correct the record, I did not endorse Senator Lankford, I didn't do it, he ran, and I did not endorse him. So I'm sure your person will be happy to hear that. But this is a very bad bill for his career, especially in Oklahoma.
You know, I won in Oklahoma. he's senator from Oklahoma. I won 77 out of 77 counties. Ronald Reagan is second with 56. I won all 77 counties in Oklahoma.
I know those people, they're great people. They're not going to be happy about this. Nobody's going to be happy about this. But the people in Oklahoma are, you know, these are serious. MAGA.
These are serious people, they are not going to be happy about this. Dan when they say this, this is crazy, this is lunacy, this bill, and you know what it is.
It's a gift to the Democrats. I don't think I can imagine it gets done. And, in fact, Steve Daines, who's, you know, a senator in leadership? He came out strongly against it a little while ago. I was happy that he's a great guy, but he came out very strongly against it. This is a gift to Democrats.
And this sort of is a shifting of the worst border in history onto the shoulders of Republicans. That's really what they want. They want this for the presidential election, so they can now blame the Republicans for the worst border in history.
Mr. President, this is what I don't understand.
And you know, listen, you were the president, I weren't. you saw it? I was not.
You saw it from behind the scenes, you know? We have this inclination towards self-destruction in this party. Why would we give Joe Biden a fake political victory? I say, fake, because we win nothing in this bill. The president already has the power, you know it, to shut the border down under the Immigration and Naturalization Act.
Why would we give this guy a Dom Perignon victory lap to go take on a bill that makes the situation worse? I mean, is this the idiot part?
What are we doing? Well, there's something going on, there's something I don't understand. If you look at Mitch McConnell, there's something going on. Why would he have approved trillions of dollars?
So, you know, you needed 10 Republican votes? Why would he have gotten a group of guys to support trillions of dollars for the Green News scam? It's been just unbelievable, it's been what's been happening, has been in the Senate, it's been unbelievable.
Now the good news is, Mike Johnson said. It's dead on arrival. And I think you're going to find he's going to do a very good job, you're going to find out. He's a very conservative guy, but more importantly, he has common sense.
I think it's going to be dead on arrival. It has to be. This is a bill that puts the blame on the Republicans, this is a this is a ploy.
They cannot be allowed to get away with it. I've spoken out very strongly, you've seen what I said on truth, and I hope everyone's on truth out there because it's doing great. It's my voice.
But it's, it's, it's not even a contest, one of the worst. I don't know how a Republican senator can put, can actually put a thing like this forth. I don't know how he could do it.
Yeah, I don't either. Mr. I'm talking to President Donald Trump, who, by the way, has some great poll numbers. Congratulations Mr.
President, Look great. Only polls. I don't put too much stock in them, but the funny thing is, it's an NBC poll, which I find hilarious.
But let me ask you an important question.
No, they weren't, they were. There's a lot of people sweating right now, changing diapers.
So Governor Greg Abbott is now standing up and he is a constitutional, at least on this issue. I believe he's on the right side of the Constitution. The states are obligated under the Constitution to be protected against invasion. There is an invasion at the border.
What should Governor Abbott do next in with this eagle pass standoff with President?
BIDEN Well, he's got to do the same thing as he's been doing, He's got to close it up. Whether it's the razor wire or anything. You know, he's really become much more hard line. I guess you probably noticed he endorsed me a few months ago and that was a good thing for him.
And it was nice to get it, but it was a good thing for him. He's taken a very hard approach on the border, on the border, and he has to pretty much keep going what he's doing. You know, they've challenged him in court. You're not allowed to close the border.
I mean, they challenge, when you put something in the way of people coming into our country illegally, they challenge. Texas. I mean, Texas has really been amazing, It's a great state. I want to buy a lot.
I'm going to win it by a lot again, and Greg Abbott has stepped up on this issue, I will say.
Mr. President, I'm looking at the poll numbers, just kind of getting back to that.
NBC is obviously sweating right now, national polls showing you up five, which is a pretty healthy margin. Also, we've seen a big movement with with a lot of Black voters in the country. Those are just simple data points.
And you know, I don't, race isn't our thing. We don't care about your skin color. Obviously, you know, liberals are obsessed with it.
They live and die by it every single day.
That's got to be really bothering them right now. And making at least your camp happy that you've managed for the first time in a long time. As a Republican, which is what you are, to convince a number of Black voters that there is a different option out there rather than the garbage, can Democrats who've ruined American cities populated largely by Black and Hispanic voters, many of them.
Well, I don't know if you ever covered this, but you know, there's nobody stronger in the border than me. The safest border, the best border we've ever had. And that includes drugs, human trafficking, so many other things. You know, drugs are up about 10 times higher than they were three years ago. Just people are just pouring in.
We used to fight the drug traffic like you wouldn't believe nobody even checks it. We had machines that would check the wheel, check the motor, the engines of cars, and just we went wild with it.
The numbers are up 10 times more the drug numbers. Human trafficking is through the roof, usually in women, mostly in women. It's horrible, you think of it as an ancient thing, it's not ancient.
The internet made it so profitable for these people, these these animals that do this human trafficking like one of the worst things. And that's that's many times more than it was just three years ago. But if you think about African-American, they are hurt the most in our country by what's going on at the border. No group more Hispanic, would be second.
They are because they're taking their jobs, they're taking jobs that are held by African-Americans, and they're now taking the jobs for much less money. You know who else is hurt badly? The unions?
And I was, I would love to have the teamsters endorsement. I think Sean O'Brien's a very good guy.
We had. How did that meeting go, Mr.
President with the team. So how did that meet?
Sorry to interrupt, how did that meeting go?
Most people would say, don't waste your time because you know you're, you're not going to get it. Because they always go, the leadership goes. I think I have 82 percent of the teamsters, I think they vote for me.
But the leadership? But I think Sean's a good man. And I mentioned something at the meeting and they probably had 50 leaders in the meeting. It was quite something. I said. When people come across the border illegally, you have union jobs, they're good paying jobs, good salaries, very high salaries in some cases.
You're not going to have them any longer, with millions of people flowing into our country. Because they're going to take over driving trucks, they're going to take over doing the kind of work that you represent and that other unions represent. And I'll tell you, the unions are in trouble more than any other group, the unions are in trouble. Because if you have trucks and you can get somebody for six dollars an hour, even if that's illegal, which in many cases they'll do, they'll hand them six, seven, eight dollars. But if you're going to have an hour, if you can get somebody from six hours, you're not going to pay union wages and teamsters wages in no way.
And this will put the teamsters out of business. I'll tell you what, the open Border, and you've said it, and I say it all the time. I believe the real number is going to be by the time this guy finishes. He's the worst president in the history of our country by far.
I believe by the time it finishes, 18 to 19 million people is going to be the real number, not the four. You know, it started off always a two and three, and it was all nonsense. I think he's going to finish off bigger than New York State, 18 to 19 million people, and many of those people, Dan, come from prisons.
They come from mental institutions, they come from the terrorists, We have many terrorists. You know, I had a very strong watch, we had a terror watch all the time, and we had very low numbers.
Here's the most important thing. We never had a terror problem. We didn't have anything blown up for four years. Which I could never mention when I was president, because I didn't want something to happen the following day. But we had the best record of anybody and now we are taking in numbers.
You know, we're taking people from Yemen, we're taking people all over the Middle East, 27,000 from China. You cover the numbers better than anybody. I don't have to tell you what the numbers are. But the numbers of people that we're taking into our country that are potential warriors. I mean, you know, we may be fighting China from within.
It's crazy what's going on, Mr. President, it's president in history.
I put, I put that on true social every morning.
I mean, I literally type that in true social everywhere, Mr.
President on that with regard to that 60 minutes which humiliated themselves in.
That ridiculous Leslie Stahl interview, sir, trying to when you, when you told the truth about the Hunter Biden laptop, made herself look like a buffoon in front of the entire country. I'll leave that for because I go on all day about that.
I never got an apology from her.
No, never. no, no, don't worry, Mr. President, we have it as a sound drop on our show.
We humiliate her every day. So you don't have it, we got it, don't you? We do.
We got that thing, but last night even left wing 60 minutes, which is to the left. The Lenin did a segment on Chinese nationals. It was a shocking segment. They didn't even lie about it. Just walking into this hole of the border in California.
And we're just watching it happen, so what you're saying is not crazy. They're here now.
It's so sad, hundreds of thousands are here now, hundreds of thousands, yeah, you know, look, it's just it's all not.
It's all not believable. And by the way, this bill that was put in this was done as a bipartisan bill. You know, you had Democrats on the other side, but they did a. And I like James. I did not endorse James, but I like James.
I like him as a person.
But obviously I'm glad you brought that up because that's how you see people on the internet now. They're always looking for some reason, you know, to get up in your face, like, I endorse, you know, number one, even if I did.
And he ran against a very tough. he ran against a tough guy, was a very good guy. And I decided I was not going to endorse James. So it's just one of those things.
I think the right call now makes you happy.
That means Trump is right about everything.
Right, well, we do a segment about that all the time.
Mr. President, last question, I'll let you go, and again, I want to thank you, as I always do.
You've been, you know, you've been a good, good friend of me and my family. We've been through a lot of tough stuff and you're a really good guy. And I don't think people understand that.
They see the public side of you.
And there's a personal side of you that's incredibly loyal to people. And you know, I just want you to know. It doesn't go unnoticed. And I try to tell the personal stories about you a lot. Because people don't understand, they just see the public persona, but enough of that.
I know, you know, we can have a cry fest.
We don't need that, but one last question.
An important one. You're welcome, sir.
Is Joe Biden going to be the nominee? Because I got to tell you something, Mr. President, if these numbers get any worse, you know better than anyone that you're independently wealthy, so you are. I mean, it's just a fact.
People can look up your wealth, you don't really need the donor money. It's nice, it helps, but you could run without it if you wanted to.
Joe Biden can't. At what point did the donors say to this guy who cannot run without them? Hey, listen, you got to go, man, you can't win. Is that a possibility?
So I've been saying, I don't think he makes it, I've been saying that for quite a while and I may be wrong. Because there seems to be a great loyalty to incumbency, I mean, that's not to him, I think it's just incumbency.
You're an incumbent and you know, there just seems to be a loyalty at both parties, and maybe, you know, sometimes you should be there. But when a guy can't answer a question, and when he doesn't do the Super Bowl, which would be a great opportunity. Actually, this would be a good time you don't always have to do them, but this would be a good time not to. You know, to stay, to stay right in somebody's face, especially when you have those kind of numbers.
But he can't do it because he can't talk, he can't do anything. He's ruining our country and I don't think he's going to run. And I don't know if it's donors or otherwise.
It might be his family, it might be something I don't think he's going to run. But I'd like to go for immediately. Debates. I'd like to debate him now, because we should debate, we should debate for the good of the country.
So I will officially on your show call, I will wow.
Look at that, we're breaking news. Mr. President Donald J. Trump calls for debates against Joe Biden.
That's great, we can talk about these problems then and get him to change his ways. But I am officially doing that. I also put out, you probably noticed that I'll take his spot at the Super Bowl if they want.
We'll get for it.
Yes, we love it. Mr. President, I got to go. I know you got to go. you're a great guy.
You've always been generous with your time. I want you to know me and my family personally appreciate you. Best of luck moving forward and thanks for giving your first comments on the bill on this show. It means a lot to us.
We appreciate it, sir.
Thanks, you have a deal. Thanks a lot, bye.
You got it up. Next is a rant I did about just government, everything it does, to just screw up your lives. Every single day, I got to tell you, of all the rants I've ever done, I think this one is one or two.

That's a Bongino show golden rule. You know that they all hate you. I explain why, and I got a bit animated. Check this out.
The theme of today's show I had in my head yesterday. And you know, I always give out too much information because I just do. And I feel like we're all kind of like a family here. And I talk to you like, I talk to my like amigos. Hanging out at a party with some vino tinto. I'm going out yesterday, I'm going to a dentist. Because you've got to take care of your teeth, because oral hygiene is important, especially when you get old, you know, clean those dientes.
Man, and I'm thinking to myself, like, if it's a cancerous malignancy of people in government who have this anchor idea in their head, like an anchor price. That they go to Washington, D.C. to solve problems is probably the single greatest. If we could just wipe that idea clean and start with a clean slate.
Most of the issues in your life would go away because nobody in D.C has the capacity to solve your problems. It's what Hayek would call the fatal conceit. There's a knowledge problem there, there is this conceit, that one. Washington, D..C.
Knows your problems.
They do not. And second, that, even if they did understand and know what your problems are, that these idiots who can do nothing else in life, they have no capacity to do anything else. If they were good at business, they'd be in business, if they were good at sports, they'd be in sports. If they were good at science, they'd be scientists.
They were good at medicine, they'd be doctors some of them are, but maybe they weren't even good doctors. That's why they're in Congress.
They find themselves up in Congress. It's amazing how 500 plus of the dumbest people on planet Earth found themselves in Washington, D.C. I can't tell you what an illuminating experience it was running for office to be surrounded by a class of people so dumb, so dumb that you're like, these are running.
The country, I don't finish that word.
They're running the country, these idiots. Listen, I've been a lot of places. I worked as a cop in New York and I got to tell you I wasn't disappointed. The cops I work with were good guys.
Yeah, we had some knuckleheads, of course.
But they weren't really bad guys, some of them were just, you know, they took a look.
They were just not that bright.
But there was very few guys that work. We were really good. I went on to work with the government and the guys in the in the Secret Service were great. I ran a couple of businesses, been involved with a bunch of businesses. You know, you get the reverse.
80, 20, or 80 percent of people I meet are good people, 20 percent are knuckleheads, and the government was the total opposite. 20 percent are decent people, 80 percent are absolute losers.
You know when you, when you insert yourself in the political process. And fairly enough. One of the criticisms I get on the show, I give you all the good news I give.
You the ratings news before the ratings have exploded all over the country, thanks to you and we really appreciate it.
That's due to you. I'll give you the bad news, too. One of the critiques I get is, Why do you mention a lot that you ran for office and?
Lost. I'll tell you it's a fair question. I appreciate you listening, even if that bothers you because, folks, it was a really, really transformative moment in my life.
There was Dan before he ran for office, and there was Dan after.
And those people are not the same. What I'm telling you on the radio and that anger and emotion I have when I talk about the cesspool we call Washington, D.C. is born out of experience.
I genuinely, candidly, with absolute straight talk and candor, could not believe how.
Stupid these people were.
I mean, like, genuinely dumb, the questions they would ask you, the things they would say, the mercenary greedy attitude they had. And I'm not going to get into all of them, but not all of them, but about 80 percent plus. And they have this, like the James Lankford speech, this attitude that, oh, we're going to D..C because we're smarter than you to solve. But you sent me here to solve problems, I didn't send you there to do squat.
I sent you there to shut your freaking soup cooler and get the damn government out of my life. Because I don't want morons telling me what to do.
This Lankford speech I played for you before the break, You missed it. Check out the podcast later. I can't tell you how much it ticked me off.
Lankford, Of course, the architect of this disastrous border bill who's now running around playing victim Conservative talk radio Jesse Kelly did it. They are no. The bill died because the bill sucked, and now you're running around the country griping and moaning like a three year old. They gave me a pen that I signed up for the Senate to solve problems.
No, bro, nobody did that.
We have two senators down here, too. I live in Florida. We got Rubio and Rick Scott. I don't know these guys, I met Rubio once at the Super Bowl. Like with a Fox segment I was doing when he was at the Miami Beach, like six years ago.
I took a picture. I don't know these guys, you know what? I don't want to know? It's not personal, because if I know them, they're doing something to mess my life up.
The government When was the last time the government knocked on your door? and you were like, Yes, yes, they're here. Jim, open your microphone. When does that happen to you?
Please tell me when the last thing you want to hear is the government knocking on your door? Thank you.
That's never happened to Mike, ever.
Have you ever? We thank you.
Hello, this is the United States government. Yes, yet nobody in the listening audience has that experience. So why does Jim Lankford, from Oklahoma, think we sent him up to D.C to quote solve our problems?
You guys are morons, you're just stupid, just shut up, go there and do me a favor. Keep the military up and running and finance our court system.
That's it. I don't want you to do anything.
Everything you idiots touch, you destroy, you are arsonists, you are not firemen. you burn down everything you touch, you screwed up. Retirement, public education, health care, everything.
Now I hear I read this story. I was supposed to put in a show last week, but I never got to it.
I'm sorry this show is taking a different direction than I intended. If you don't like, I understand if you tune out because I'm very emotional about this today.
I read a story about a week ago I was going to put it in the show, but I skipped because it's too personal for me. But screw it, there's a test. I, you know, I had cancer, it's not a big deal.
I'm, you know, in remission now, and I don't want to. You know, it's not a sob story like, who cares? Everybody's got their own problem.
But I, I worry every day, I worry, I worry, I'm not going to tell you, I worry every day. If kids. I want to see my, you know, my daughters get married, and I want to see my youngest daughter graduate from college. And I just, I don't want to die, man, I just don't want to die like.
Kind of fair, you know? It's not a sob story, folks. I promise I got a great life. God's blessed me. I just the story is a point. This is my point about government and how bad these people suck and everything they.
Do is they are only there to ruin your life. I don't want you to do something, I want you to shut up that's it, and go there and just shut up.
So I get this test about every six months, it's a blood test. It's by a company called Gallery, It's called Grail, like the Holy Grail, Gallery Grail. It's a blood test for cancer, it's. The technology is rather new. The test is far from perfect, but I don't want to die, brother. So, like, I take the test a lot. Hoping that. Even if you get a lot of false negatives, false negatives, meaning you're told you don't have cancer and you do. The more you take it, you'll likely reduce the false negatives. Because it uses AI, it's a long story, but it looks for certain DNA fragments in your blood. I don't want to get a thousand pet scans because it's a lot of radiation and I don't want to do it all the time.
So I choose that the hell does this have to do with government? The other day, I'm reading the Wall Street Journal and I find out that your benevolent.
Government which sucks major moose.
Hairs.
The government, they're afraid this test might work. What the government? Wait? No, Dan, you mean, they're afraid the test doesn't work? No, no, they're afraid the test will work. They're afraid that people may actually find out early they have cancer and could actually save their own lives.
Oh so, why? why is the government now, the FDA and others, trying to get in the way of this test? Oh, wait, because the government took over the health care system and steals people's tax money, and the government doesn't want to pay for the test. Now because it decided to take over the health care system. But here's the kick in the balls.
They don't even want you paying for it either. They're going to be like, this is a test only for rich people. They're really considering not approving this thing, despite the fact that I don't want to freaking die a holes.
It's real. Look it up, you think I'm messing with you, Gallery Grail. Put an FDA in any search engine. You think I'm messing with you. The F.D.A. is doing everything in their power to make sure you can't access this test. Because they'd rather you die early and not know you have cancer than to have to steal your money and give you back your money to treat you and save your life. That's a freaking fact, bro. The government sucks, everything they do sucks.
The people there suck.
They will kill you in a minute, these absolute losers.
These liberals, Oh, the government's here to take care of the little guy, it's here to screw the little guy.
LaNKFORD You send this here to solve problems, I don't send you there to do.
Squat I send you there to shut your soup, cooler, loser, sit down and shut up.
Solving problems You think you solve the problem at the border with this stupid border bill, it didn't solve anything. You have the border, you have. Section 212 of the INA right now says the president could basically shut the border down. You're telling me you're going to pass a new law with this oatmeal for brains. President of the White House. When he can do something right now, but no, he's going to listen to the new law instead.
Folks, these people hate your guts, man.
I'm really sorry to have to tell you that, but you know why the ratings on this show are freaking bananas? Because I swear to you, I'm one of the few, not the only, but the few guys telling you the truth. Everybody dances around it. Oh, you know, we got to fix government, we got to go give cutesy speeches. No, we don't, we don't have to do any of that.
We don't have to do squat, we have to tell the government you suck, you work for us. I think you suck, therefore don't do any more sucky stuff.
I want you to go up there and reduce the stock suck and stop the suck and just stop sucking. We'll figure it out. I know where my heart surgeon is, I know how to best treat my cancer with my own doctors.
I know what's best for my kids education, I know what's best for my health, for my business. I don't need you, idiot D.C. to tell me anything, just shut up and stop sucking, man.
You want my vote? Tell me, hey, I'm a citizen like you, you know why I'm running for office? I'm running for office. Because, frankly, I don't know everything about your life, and I really don't have any solutions for your problems. And neither does the government. But you do, and I believe in you, I believe in you.
I'm running because I believe in you, I don't believe the government has the answers, and I'm running. D.C. To stop the suck because everything the government does sucks, and the things in your life that suck probably suck because of government. So I'm going there because I believe in you and I don't believe in the government. And I'm going to work for the government. At your expense and by your consent, to stop them from sucking up your life, how does that sound?
You got my vote 100 percent of the time. I don't want to hear any more Langford Mitch McConnell speeches, I don't want to hear any of this. Oh, we're going to tinker with the child tax credit because the government's here to incentivize. I don't want the government incentivizing anything.
Just shut up and get out of our lives, you losers, you hate us. we know you hate us. The gig is up.
We don't like you either. Just go there and reduce the suck, because everything you guys do absolutely sucks.
I swear one day I'm I'm Dan Bongino and I put this. One day I'm going to run for president, I'm going to finance my own campaign. And it's just going to be on that one thing, just stop the suck, please stop the suck.
Nothing you guys do ever works. Your border bill sucked, your Social Security plan sucks, your health care plan sucks. Obamacare sucks.
Your tax code sucks everything you idiots do. sucks because you guys suck because you're stupid, and that's why you run for office.
You couldn't even impeach a guy who almost single handedly has facilitated an invasion of the United States. And we're supposed to trust you with our retirement and our health care and our kids education. Please, please, please, just stop the suck. Just that's all I'm asking.
Just stop trying to do something, because everything you do absolutely sucks up. Next is one of my favorite people. Nice surprise here, but first, our next sponsor.

Here's Chaya Raychig, who runs Libza TikTok. She's a warrior for the cause. We talked to her about how she got started and the latest attacks on her by the dreadful NBC News. Take a listen, listen, man, I absolutely love this woman.
She is a warrior, she is an Amazon goddess on the right, fighting back in the left's culture war.
Again, that they waged on us.
We didn't wage on them.
You know, Libza, TikTok, the account was out there for a while, started generating a lot of buzz years and years ago. And then it became one of the most explosive forces in the culture war again that the left waged on us.
Well, it's run by this wonderful woman, Chaya Raychig.
Chaya, Welcome to the show.
Thank you for being here. we appreciate your time.
Hi Dan, it's such an honor to be here. I've been a huge fan of the show for a long time.
Wow, look at that Jim, she's been a fan. This is amazing.
Get that on tape, Jim.
I want to play that as a liner. We come in every single day.
So you're a warrior?
We know that the left is terrified of you.
Before we even get into this latest, you know, fake scandal that David Ingram and.
NBC News are trying to trying to fabricate.
What made you, what did you do before this, and how did you get into this Libs of tick tock thing? How did this start? Is it just something, some bug?
You've had for politics and this culture war for a long time. How did this start?
So I never followed politics, I never followed the culture war, I didn't even like, really identify personally as a strong conservative. I was kind of just one of those people who lived my life and then Covid happened and I was out of a job. And I realized that there are people in D.C. who are making decisions for me. Telling me, I can't go to the synagogue and can't go to the store and can't go to work.
And I started paying more attention, but I didn't start for a couple of months later, I went back to work, I was a real estate agent and I just had extra time. I started scrolling Tik Tok and I saw these very scary and alarming things that I didn't think people knew about.
So I was just, I was just like, you know, I have to, I have to expose this, I have to raise awareness about this, and that's how it started.
We're talking a high rate chick who runs libs of Tik Tok.
I call this the Libs of Tik Tok phenomenon, and you're, you're responsible for it.
And I mean that as a, as a, as a, as a laudatory, you know, unabashedly positive thing.
These liberals on Tik Tok, they have to go on these social media platforms to get money and influence and followers.
That's how they do it, so what they do is they one up each other with the crazy. You've seen it on Tik Tok, like, one of them's like, Hey, let's cut the nuts off some kid.
And another one's like, let's show him off afterwards. I mean, one of them is like, let's make trophies out of like. They do crazy stuff over there. And all the liberals in that little isolated ecosystem on Tik Tok you've seen over there, yeah, this is great, look at you.
You're a real champion for castrating young children. They do that now. All you do on the libs of Tik Tok, Twitter and True social is you take their videos, you don't edit them, and you just put them on Twitter. Where sane, normal people see them. And then all of a sudden, they get a different response.
So I call it the Libs of Tik Tok effect, and the effect is that the best weapon we have against the increasingly crazy culture warrior left is observation. But would you agree?
Yeah, 100 percent. I think that the second they open their mouth, they literally discredit themselves. So if we just show people what they themselves are saying and doing, then they're completely discredited. And their opinions and their views, they just don't hold up to scrutiny.
Now, I mean some of the stuff that the interesting part about the whole thing is, you don't video edit these things.
You might add some commentary like, Here's a kindergarten teacher or whatever in Tuscaloosa.
Talking about castrating young kids, or whatever it may be. But you don't, in fact, video edit them. You don't insert anything in there, you don't do anything, you're just playing what that person says they wanted.
And we're talking about Haya Richard, the creator of Libs of Tik Tok.
You know, what I find interesting is I have the Dan Bongino show, and liberals do this all the time. They cut commentary from my show, They put it out on their accounts, like, Look, Dan Bongino said this.
And my, I mean, it is not some purchase signal.
My attitude is great, all I ask is that you link to my show. I'm proud of what I said, whether a liberal likes it or not is irrelevant to me. The strange thing about the left is that the opposite, the opposite thing happens when you show the left. What they're saying to themselves, they're horrified and embarrassed for, and they try to hide.
Exactly because, like I said, their views don't hold up, and they want to live in this bubble where only people that agree with them and their views will see their content. So when, when it's shared with a wider audience and people who might criticize it, then they just don't know what to do with themselves. I mean, they lose their freaking mind every single time.
Yeah, I would argue I'd make the case. You know, you may, you may agree. I mean, you're certainly on the receiving end of all this. I joke on Twitter and True social.
I have at the top of my under my avatar there it says Public enemy number one.
It's kind of a joke, but some of it's based in reality. That's not actually true. If I had to pick a new public enemy number one and was viewing it for the through the eyes of the deranged left. I got to tell you it's either you or Elon, they really seem to hate you. When it all kind of came to, came to roost again today, when this absolute lunatic at NBC, this David Ingram whose parents probably tell people they have no kids.
This guy is an absolute lunatic, he keeps writing these articles, he's like, obsessed with you.
He's like, I won't be ignored, Dan.
He's Glenn, close from Fatal Attraction. If you find bunnies boiling in your kitchen, it's probably this lunatic. It's like his second or third article about your account claiming and what I believe is defamatory. And my humble opinion, I think you should sue this guy. And NBC. He keeps claiming that you posting videos of liberals they posted themselves is somehow inciting violence.
This dude is obsessed with you, it's creepy.
I know so well. First of all, I just want to say that I'm so honored that they attacked me because these people are the absolute scum of the earth. These are the people who want kids to chop off their body parts, they want to give kids porn in school. They want drag queens to to twerk in front of their kids faces.
I mean, these people are disgusting freaks and the fact that they hate me and they attack me is a massive compliment. Because I stand for everything that they do. Not. So so that I just want to get that out there. But this David guy, I mean, he. I don't know if he wants to date me or if he just wants attention, but this guy is freaking obsessed with me.
It's really getting out of control and I am exploring some, some legal options.
Yeah, you should, because I've followed this guy for a while now, he's he's a very, very strange guy. I'm glad to see you post his emails so you can. It helps you post his emails on your social media. Because it helps us get into his kind of weird, sick mind. So I'm trying to follow his logic and tell me if you think I'm going wrong.
His logic appears to be, and I'm sincerely trying to get in his weirdo head, although it's difficult because I'm not a weirdo, he says. You are you. You post a video of, say, a kindergarten teacher, let's just say twerking in front of a bunch of kids. Which most sane people would say, well, that's inappropriate. He's suggesting that by you posting that.
If then people respond to that with some level of disgust, that it's somehow your fault for them posting the video publicly and you just reposting what they already posted. Is that is that kind of where they're going with this? I know it sounds kooky, but is that what they're saying?
I think, yeah, I think you're right on track with their twisted logic.
Yeah, but but, but, but. But here's the curveball for you. But by their same logic, that drawing attention to something that you were then responsible for. Every single thing that happens from that point on, by that same logic. We're talking from the Libs of TikTok account. Aren't they responsible for the death threats? You get? You and I know each other personally, I know you get them a lot. I mean, using their same logic, thinking through this. Rationally, when you get death threats because they draw attention to you, aren't they responsible for inciting violence against you?
It's a very good question. And Dan? I have received quite a few threats since the article dropped just about two hours ago. And I posted those publicly. And I tagged David and NBC and I asked them if they are responsible for that. Because, according to their own rules, David would now be a stochastic terrorist. And NBC is responsible for violence or death threats against me. I have not received a response from any of them yet if they feel responsible.
And I'll definitely update if I do. I don't expect any kind of response and I don't expect any kind of accountability from them at all.
Yeah, yeah, you won't get one.
We're talking higher rates from lives at TikTok. Last question, I'll let you go. If you're not following her on True Social and Twitter, making a big mistake. She's amazing and an absolute warrior.
You have been such an important, special person in this movement.
I know you're very humble. I ran into you at Police State, the premier of Mar-a-lago, and you, really, you're so humble and you're not. You know, really, you're not loud about. Like me. I'm a maniac most of the time. I get so not you, but you're really a great person and I'm not sure you even understand the influence you've had.
You have so changed the culture war that there are entire newspaper outlets and fake journalists out there that their sole goal is to take you out. I'll throw one more name out there that I know has been kind of a nuisance as well.
For all the wrong reasons.
Taylor Lorenz, this is a woman with no life skills whatsoever, writes at the Washington Post. And again, seems bizarrely obsessed with you while simultaneously writing things about people like me and you. That really, kind of, you know, touch the true false barrier. She's no gem either.
Well, first of all, I think we just have to say that Taylor is probably currently wearing three masks because we are in the middle of a pandemic.
So true she is, she loves the mask.
She's an old, lonely woman and I think she's severely brainwashed. I don't know if it's the lack of oxygen from wearing all those masks that got to her brain. I don't know what's going on with her, but I mean, yeah, I will say, I think she everyone knows what she did to me. But I think it was the greatest case of the strides and the fact that I've ever seen.
Well, I'm going to end with this.
You're a warrior.
You take nothing on social media.
When someone throws something at you, you fight back viciously. And I think a lot of the conservatives out there who've embraced your account and who really love what you're doing, they respect that. Most of all. You're going to win this battle because you're on the right side of this and just keep it up. I just say your message before I have your back 100 percent in this fight.
And I know my audience does, too.
Thanks so much for spending some time with us.
We really appreciate it.
Thank you, Ben.
Thank you, you got it, you got it. That was Aya Raychek. She runs the Libs of TikTok account.
Just a really wonderful woman, folks again, very humble, did not expect to get in this fight, was certainly no self-admittedly political warrior.
And just she can't, she couldn't take it anymore.
This sanctioned abuse of kids going on and she decided she'd fight back.
And I'm going to tell you something, someone who's in this movement every single day.
My entire life is show preparation in this movement.
I'm telling you, right now, her and Elon Musk are neck and neck for public enemy number.

Finally, we talked to Julie Kelly.
She broke some incredible news about the January 6th pipe bomb scandal with new video. As we told you, there was a bomb sniffing canine on the scene, how did it miss the alleged bomb? Well, we talked to Julie about it here. Okay, Julie, I know you have to get off in a few minutes, so I'm just going to start right out with the question.
You got a hold of this video?
Oh, you do, oh good, okay, so we can hold it for a second.
I asked Jesse Kelly for an extra, so I have $240 with him, so I'm good.
Oh great, thank you Jesse. We love you. He's got a great show too. We love Jesse Kelly.
So you got this video of what appears to be a sweep of a vehicle by a canine handler and a canine dog? So now we know there were at least at a minimum, we know there was an explosives detection dog at the DNC when Kamala Harris was there with a bomb outside. My question to you is, Do we have yet the identity of that canine handler? Was it private security, Secret Service, military, Capitol police, do we know?
We don't know, and my sources are telling me they don't believe it was Capitol Police. Because, as I posted again later today, I show the video of Kamala Harris's security details. Secret Service and Metropolitan Police, they all show up, but there's no Capitol Police, their dignitary protective services, no Capitol Police involved in her protective detail. So it's still a mystery who this handler was, who the canine belonged to. You know, to your point that you brought up this morning on your rumble show, was this private from the DNC?
Is this the normal protocol of how a canine bomb sniffing canine conducts a search of that nature? And as I pointed out in my piece, there were a few other vehicles who entered the building, the garage, earlier that day, who are not subjected to this sort of search. So it's just another odd mystery to this whole unanswered question.
Well, Julie, you're an actual journalist, folks, you know, unlike other journalists who think they know everything about everything.
And therefore speculate on things they have no idea.
Julie and I were chatting last night.
I don't think I'm speaking out of turn everything. I, you know, wouldn't share anything personal.
But Julie's like, Listen, you did this. There were a couple of cars that went in there, you know what's the deal? So Julie, let's kick around this idea. The secret service. For a site that size at the DNC, it's about a two hour sweep.
So figuring Kamala gets there in the 11 hour, let's round it down to 9 a.
M It now makes perfect sense why two vehicles prior to that 950 sweep we see on the tape would drive into the DNC unswept because the Secret Service wasn't there yet. I mean, no one starts a workday as a private security company. At 950, you started nine.
You started eight, you started seven. It just doesn't make any sense. It had to be someone working with the Secret Service.
Well, and I will say I was looking at earlier footage that started to your point at seven or 730. And they did have their security guards outside that building starting to allow people inside. I assume that they were workers, but again, you have security guards within a few feet of where this device is supposed to be. So, another odd thing, Dan is if this was tied to her secret service protective detail. The email that was public made public is that her plan was to leave the Senate after this Senate Intelligence Committee briefing. That was at 10 o'clock, and she was scheduled to go to her residence for some reason.
So I know you and I have talked about this. She was diverted then to the DNC, who made that decision. Did they know by 950 that Kamala Harris was going to be there? So the whole timeline doesn't really add up either.
Yeah, it doesn't make sense.
That would be classified in security parlance as an OTR off the record movement, you know, which? It's not, it's not on the official record. But given her prominence as the vice president elect, she's going to have a full vice presidential.
Security package. At that point, you would never even go to an OTR without a minimum of a quick sweep. So it's still that none of it makes any sense. Let me get this other question, because your video is.
The video you got is damning. At one point, the canine handler with the canine explosives detection dog, and someone asked me, Dan, how do you know it was an explosive detection dog? Because if you watch the video Julie has in her blog declassified, go to her Twitter account. She's at Julie underscore Kelly, too.
And you can look at all this stuff, you'll see. He guides the dog around the car and points that's what handlers do. The dog's looking at the handler for cues.
What am I sniffing? So the handler cues it. It's definitely. It is 100 percent. A canine designed to detect explosives, but in your video, after they're done, Julie, they walk by the actual explosive. I mean, how do you? How would?
This is either the greatest security failure in human history, or there's something they're not telling us.
Well, and furthermore, Dan, to your point, as he and they did a perimeter check of the vehicle. So I'm not really sure what else they could have been looking for. Which is why I was texting you. I even ran it past my husband. He is the big law enforcement guy and he's like, No, they definitely were looking for a bomb.
What else would they be looking for? This is some sort of shepherd, this is what the dog is trained to do. But as you see this handler and the canine enter this scene where the camera is pointed. It looks like he even came right from the direction where the bomb had been planted. There were two doors leading into the inside of the building, next to this garage door.
And you can't tell because the camera didn't pan out that wide is if this handler came out of that front door. If he did, the bomb would have been sitting right there as well because it was in between those two benches, right over to the right of where the main entrance to the DNC was. So this dog could have passed by this alleged bomb twice on its way to the sweep and on its way away from the vehicle.
I got about a minute left.
We're talking to Julie Kelly. her Twitter is at Julie underscore Kelly, too. her blog is declassified. Is that on substack Julie?
Forgive me.
I'm sorry, it's declassified. Subscribe.
She's the best journalist out there. I got about a minute left. But there is a distinct possibility you and I have discussed, we're going to discuss in front of my audience here that the reason that bomb was missed.
Is it wasn't missed at all that it just wasn't there?
And somebody put it there after the sweep and hole, which says to me, this was absolutely.
A setup I got about a minute. Your thoughts on that?
That's really the only conclusion. And of course, we've talked about this before, and some have speculated for a long time that this was a hoax. But now that you see all the video coming together, the odd reaction from law enforcement when it was allegedly discovered. And I show posted today on Twitter her security detail. Arriving at 1125, you had at least six vehicles and multiple agents and officers walking right in front of the bomb. It's impossible.
No way it was there, dan no way.
It's impossible.
I'm just going to leave it where we started again. She's at Julie underscore Kelly two.
Her substack is declassified.
Please do me a personal favor.
Follow her, subscribe to her substack. She's worth every single dollar of journalism forfeited by other idiots.
JuLIe There's no chance this was either the biggest security failure in modern American history or the biggest.
Setup of a MAGA crowd with a fake bombing plot we've ever seen. I think you and I both know the answer.
Thank Jesse Kelly for me, please, he's the best for giving you a few minutes. Go ahead, do your interview.
Thanks for your time, Julie.
You're the best.
