Trump's Historic Speech (Ep. 2290)

your host, Dan Bongino.

Folks, to describe this as just an overwhelming, the senses, the sights, the sounds, the smells,

everything of this week has just been amazing.

The food in here in Milwaukee, by the way, has been incredible.

The people of the RNC have been amazing.

We've been here all week, waiting all night for President Trump's banger of a speech.

We've finally heard it.

Folks, it's like nothing we've heard before from him.

I'm optimistic about the coming election without being apathetic.

And I hope you stay that way too.

Vote and take 10 people with you.

10, not 9.

You are allowed to take more.

You are not allowed to take less.

I'm sorry.

I don't mean to sound bossy.

But this has been such an incredible week.

We had so much content to squeeze in.

So many great guests.

We don't know what to do.

Let me get started today.

Hey, with COIN, get woke out of your wallet with a credit card that aligns with dollars

for conservative values.

I got another stellar show for you today.

We're going to focus today more than focusing most of the week on the Secret Service stuff,

on the speech tonight, everything that happened.

Because really, the energy in the Republican Party, I hate this.

I hate talking about energy because it sounds so stupid and cliche.

But I'm telling you, it's here.

It's real.

It's now.

Everybody, I mean, even Russell Brand, who we did a show with last night.

This is a guy formerly of the left.

Understanding the Party of Freedom is here now.

More coming up.

Some great cuts for you.

Hold on.

Hey, many Americans are tired and frustrated by a stalling economy, inflation, endless

wars, and the relentless assault on our values.

All right, Guy and Mike, let's get this thing started.

So, if you missed yesterday's podcast, please, I'm begging you as a friend, please go back

and watch it.

A number of breaking stories about the Secret Service catastrophe, the apocalyptic breakdown,

about the communications breakdown, the breakdown of coverage on that roof, and also the fact

that this may have been some kind of assault on Trump supporters in advance, that plan,

as well as what resulted in an assault on Donald Trump.

Again, it's a theory, that one.

In the end, I discussed it yesterday, but there's some evidence to back up all of these

things.

An absolute failure, folks, and I'm going to tell you again, I only say on this show

what I can back up.

When I have evidence for you, you have my absolute solemn word.

You will be the first to hear it.

I want to talk bigger picture first about what just happened.

Folks, Donald Trump's a different man.

Post-attack, he's a different guy.

Something changed in him, and I hope I never have to experience that kind of change myself,

but when you're millimeters from death and you survive it, and your first response to

spite, there's a renewed vigor in him.

He's always been a warrior, but this is different.

I want to play for you what I thought was one of the highlights of the night from the

speech last night.

It was just incredible.

Please check this part out.

Come back.

We'll comment on it on the other side.

I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no

victory in winning for half of America.

So tonight, with faith and devotion, I proudly accept your nomination for president of the

United States.

Thank you.

But Cory, unfortunately, we have to use the past tense.

He was incredible.

He was a highly respected former fire chief, respected by everybody.

Was accompanied by his wife, Helen, incredible woman.

I spoke to her today, devastated, and two precious daughters.

He lost his life selflessly, acting as a human shield to protect them from flying bullets.

He went right over the top of them and was hit.

What a fine man he was.

I said last night before, because obviously the speech happened last night, you're watching

today, but we're here now, right now, when we're recording this, we are here right post

speech.

There's still so much energy.

It's like palpable in the room right here, because everybody's so excited to go out and

vote.

So forgive me.

We're always candid with the other thing.

But on the show here, of course.

Folks, I want to talk about the election picture here.

Because after last night, candidly speaking, no red wave talk.

Cut the bullshit.

Don't do it here.

We're never going to do it.

No landslide talk.

No, none of that, okay?

But I don't want to ignore the obvious either.

I actually believe in doing honest reporting.

I don't see a path right now for Biden.

There is a potential path for other candidates.

They could come in.

They could be re-energized.

The cheating, they could double and triple down.

I get all that.

But after last night and that just barn burner and banger of a speech, do you really see

a path for Biden?

Folks, I just want to play this clip I played again yesterday.

Remember what I told you about politics.

There's sound bites and snapshots.

And everything in politics in this binary system we have, Republicans and Democrats,

is about contrast.

A or B.

When A really falters, B may look better, even if B did nothing different at all.

Do you get what I mean?

B may be a five and A may be a one.

But if A goes to zero, B is now five units bigger than A, even though B did nothing.

Donald Trump not only added to his political cachet last night, but Joe Biden's political

cachet is now collapsing.

The biggest problem with Joe Biden right now, outside of his dreadful policies, even for

Democrats, is the fact that he's a man in poor health.

Not blaming a guy for getting COVID.

I don't wish ill health on anyone.

I hope he's fine at the end of the day.

However, the man's in his 80s.

He got COVID.

Van Jones points out, who's a Democrat, something very simple.

This is a system of contrast.

How are you going to get around the fact that Trump is this vigorous guy who's roughly the

same age but acts different, and Biden's holed up by COVID?

Check this out.

A bullet couldn't stop Trump.

A virus just stopped Biden.

You've got the nominees of this party getting their butts kissed.

Biden's getting his butt kicked by his own party.

The Democrats are coming apart.

The Republicans are coming together.

Now, Van Jones got beaten up online by piss crier Keith Oberman and others for stating

the obvious.

Folks, this is a good thing, though.

How is that a good thing?

It's not even a good thing that Van Jones said that because I don't want the Democrats

to recognize their problem.

Michael, I want to win, right?

I don't really give a shit if the Democrats recognize their problem.

I'd rather them not, right?

I'd rather go ninja style, right?

We don't want to go samurai style.

We want to go ninja style.

We want to be like quiet assassins here.

Van Jones is our problem right now because he's telling the Democrats, you've got an

issue.

It's the Keith Obermans of the world who are our best allies.

Crazy, lunatic, former ESPN guy.

Oberman's out there, again, telling people, oh, gosh, Van Jones should shut his mouth.

Van Jones doesn't know what he's talking about.

Well, clearly he does.

Van Jones is not our friend, even though he's stating the obvious.

We want to sneak up on him.

This is how bad it is right now.

And I want you to keep in mind, this clip, as you guys can attest to, is from a couple

days ago, prior to Donald Trump's speech and J.D. Vance's speech the night before.

We just heard it.

The whole place going nuts.

You can hear the energy in here, right?

This place going crazy.

Everybody's supposed to go home.

Nobody's going home, OK?

Here is CNN a couple days ago, prior to the speech.

And remember, Joe Biden's only going to get worse, his cognitive condition.

Talking about how the path to suit 270 for Joe Biden is almost non-existent at this point.

No red wave talk.

Get out and vote like we're 10 points behind, because polling sucks.

But this just harbors real trouble for Joe Biden.

Check this out.

This is our current CNN projection of where we are now.

And look at this.

If Donald Trump won, what we have here, dark red states, solid Republican.

Light red states, leaning Republican.

If he won just those right there, he would already have the path to 270.

He would have 272 electoral votes.

Look what is different.

We have Wisconsin as a toss-up.

We have Pennsylvania as a toss-up.

Two critical states for Joe Biden.

Michigan right now, another critical state for Biden, leaning Republican.

Georgia, a state Biden flipped, leaning Republican.

Arizona, a toss-up state.

That was a state Biden flipped.

Nevada, a state he won, leaning Republican.

This is the dire straight for Joe Biden right now, on the first night of the Republican

convention.

Tomorrow is 16 weeks to election day.

16 weeks from tomorrow, we count the votes.

It is tough to change a map like this.

Folks, this is prior.

This is prior.

Guy, is it not prior?

Did I not send you this cut three days ago?

This is prior to the speech, NJD's speech.

You think this is going to get any better?

The guy's melting away by the minute.

His neurons don't freaking work.

I got more for you.

Things got even worse.

I just want to say this one thing.

Guy comes up to me before, right?

And he's like, hey, man, I got this for you.

Someone put this up to the window.

And the student, it's a window, right, to my right.

It says, this is Dan Bongino's Audio Implements earpiece.

You're probably like, what the hell does that mean?

You want to hear about a bananas moment?

Audio Implements, this company, when you've joined the Secret Service back in my day,

they take a mold of your ear and build a custom earpiece.

Someone must have had a mold of my ear and brought me a new earpiece from 1999.

Thank you, Audio Implements.

Guy's like, you're never going to believe this just happened.

So there you go.

Has my ear changed?

This is really it.

I should try it on.

Do you want to do it on the air?

How do we open this sucker?

All right.

I don't know, because this sucker is like really...

I'm going to have to cut this baby open.

Here, open that for me.

And if that thing fits, I'm going to be stunned.

I mean, my ear's got all droopy.

I'm an old man now.

But getting back to the thing.

My good friend Jordan Schachtel on X, a great account to follow.

You got it open?

All right.

Let me see.

This must be...

Okay.

This is the left.

Folks, we're doing this on the air live.

Holy shit.

It still fits.

Dan Bongino's Secret Service earpiece from 1999.

Look at that.

Nice and snug.

Audio Implements, you'd still do a great job.

It's amazing this sucker still...

Look at it.

Nice.

It doesn't even come out.

I never...

Personally, though, I don't like the mold.

Don't lose it.

Can you put this back in the thing?

I don't want to lose this, man.

This is a classic.

And I can't hear anything out of my left ear anymore anyway,

because that's where I wore my earpiece, and I'm deaf in that ear.

Here's my buddy Jordan Schachtel on X.

This is how bad it's getting for Biden, folks.

It is not going to get any better.

I'm candidly worried he's going to drop out,

because I want to run against this goofball.

He was on some leaked Zoom call the other day.

Did you hear this report?

Just basically trashing a bunch of people saying,

nobody's been a better president to me.

Name one.

Name me one.

Now, I never steer you wrong.

Ever, ever, ever.

What have I told you over and over?

Joe Biden is not dropping out.

Guys, do you remember?

Why is he not dropping out?

Because he's a freaking narcissist.

That's why.

He's a narcissist.

Look at the Nelk boys.

Now, these guys are ringers.

You ever hear of the Nelk boys?

These guys.

Hey, can you come on one second?

Just come on.

I just want the audience to show you.

The Zin you brought.

What's up, brother?

How are you, man?

I haven't seen you since the UFC, man.

You guys are rocking it.

Hey, man.

So that Zin you brought Tucker Carlson that time.

That one's not connected.

This one.

So this was kind of an impromptu.

But you guys got a hugely popular podcast.

People love you guys.

You're here at the RNC.

And you know how you feel like pop culture wise?

You think like the libertarian kind of Republican conservative movement is finally getting back

some of the mojo with the young?

Yeah, we were just talking about that.

Like when we started, you know, doing content with President Trump in 2020.

And it was it was way different.

Like, I think at that time you got patronized for doing it.

And it was more of a risk.

But I think people have seen over the last four years just what a fucking disaster Biden's been.

And people are fed up.

And I think, you know, I think maybe they wanted to speak up before.

And they're maybe a little bit scared.

But I think now people are just fed up.

And I tell you what, man, I got mad respect for you guys, because you're right.

Like, you guys were interviewing Tucker and Trump when it wasn't like the cool thing to

do.

We got other influencers out there, the Paul brothers and stuff.

But back then it was like, you know, these Republic, all the media.

They were shitting on him back then.

They were honest.

But you know what?

It's a good thing that people are flipping.

You know, we don't want to call them like copycats.

But I think, you know, if people are supporting them and they're supporting this movement,

then that's just a W.

So, bro, you guys, very few pods and shows out there have the influence with that Gen Z crowd.

You guys do.

You're doing a banger of a job.

So you at the UFC, man.

You love the fights like I do, man.

Thanks for spending a bit of it.

I appreciate you.

It's an honor.

Oh, thanks, bro.

I appreciate it, man.

You got the elf boys just popping into the Dan Bongino show,

like collabs are just happening left and right.

What is that?

Dogs and cats.

Remember that from Ghostbusters?

This is just like, this has been...

Key, how great has this experience been?

I sat on a radio show yesterday.

I wasn't bullshitting you.

I said, listen, man, you know, and Monday, the beginning of the week, I kind of felt like,

oh, you know, I'm not sure this was the right thing to come out here.

Single best decision of our life to come out here, folks.

But get back to what I was talking about before.

Biden is a freaking narcissist.

The man is never going to leave.

He really believes what you saw in that tweet.

He believes he is the most popular, influential president in modern American history.

I told you that.

Now you're hearing it on this leaked Zoom call.

We got that.

I'm going to take a...

Key, I'm going to take a quick break here.

Got a couple spots where obviously we got ads and people pay for the show to talk to you.

We deeply appreciate their support.

Folks, it's only going to get worse.

The speech, the fact that Donald Trump not only survived an assassination attempt, but

screamed fight afterwards in one of the most iconic photos ever.

The Jack Smith case getting thrown out, the lawfare blowing up in their faces.

It's not an excuse.

Bring 10 people with you.

Just imagine the cheating is going to be four or five points.

Probably not going to be that much, but it's there.

We've got to overcome a lot and anything can change.

So don't get cocky.

I want to show you this too.

This leaked out as well.

This was on CNN.

CNN, not Fox.

This wasn't on a Dan Bongino show, not on Newsmax.

This was on CNN where they're now reporting that Biden's got this temper control problem

now.

It's an old problem, but it's getting worse with his advanced stage, what appears to be

dementia.

Biden blew up on Jason Crow, a Democrat.

I think he's from Colorado.

When Jason Crow, the Democrat...

Hey, Kat, Jason Crow is from Colorado, right?

Democrat?

Yeah.

Colorado.

Kat Kamek, who's wonderful.

Hey, you want to sit down during the show too?

Hey, I'm sorry.

I will get you.

So folks, he blew up on Jason Crow.

Absolutely blew up.

And here's what it's about.

Key, run this clip.

Check this out.

Reporting into CNN this hour, showing just how tense things have gotten between a defiant

Joe Biden and key members of his party.

Sources tell me that the president lashed out at Congressman Jason Crow in a Saturday call

with House Democrats.

That happened after the Colorado moderate relayed voters' concerns about the president's

vigor and strength, especially when it comes to the world stage.

Biden, I'm told, got so upset with Crow's blunt assessment that at one point he said,

quote, cut that crap out.

Folks, I got a subject matter expert here.

Again, the collabs happening everywhere.

This was not planned, right, Michael?

Poor Michael's like, this guy's done so many air squats getting up and down to reconnect

the thing.

Congresswoman Kat Kamek, one of my favorites.

God bless the work you're doing up there.

So you're up on Capitol Hill and unfortunately around a lot of these Democrats all the time.

Bless their hearts, as we say.

Bless their hearts.

You know, as they say down south, we know exactly what that means.

Are you sensing with them that it's now gone from panic to just full-blown hysteria?

And the second part of the question, I don't think they're worried anymore because it's

Biden.

I think they're worried because the down ballot effects are going to be bad.

Yes.

So it's crazy that we're talking about this like in this context right now.

I got a text message from a prominent Democrat who said, Kat, we are screwed.

Use a different word.

Said, but we're screwed.

It's a lose-lose for us because what's going to happen is we have got four years of all

of us on record saying that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy and we're going to

disenfranchise 14 million Democratic voters who penciled in Joe Biden's name.

But they know that they cannot win with Joe Biden.

So what they're now talking about is we have to tell him to move aside, but we can't

jump Kamala.

We have to put her in at the top of the ticket because if we don't, a billion dollars with

a B, go to the down ballot races and then they will have nothing at the top of the ticket.

So they're in the middle of this dynamic where half of their caucus wants to go all

in on the down ballots, which would be bad for us, or they go all in on Kamala and she

still loses good inside info.

Let me hit you with this Kamala Harris question because you just kind of nailed it.

This is the dilemma they created for themselves.

Not a thousand percent.

A thousand percent.

I did not say Kamala Harris is a DEI candidate.

Joe Biden did.

I didn't say that, Kat.

He did not.

He said, I'm going to pick based on artificial criteria.

Yes, it was whatever box she checked.

That's it.

He said it, not us.

So the fact that Kamala Harris is a DEI vice president is not Dan Bongino or Kat Kamek's

words.

We're just repeating what Biden said.

The dilemma they've created for themselves, which you just kind of harped on a little

bit, is you can't say I'm bringing in a black woman, whoever it may be because of her valuable

life experience, but I don't know who she is.

And then you get said black woman.

And in a minute, the opportunity to take power happens.

You go, I was only really kidding about the black woman thing.

Exactly.

And this pisses me off as a woman, because this is the bullshit that the left has peddled

for years.

When I went and campaigned for office, I never said vote for me because I'm the young one
