Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with
your host, Dan Bongino.
And you know, I, I say to you guys and ladies all the time that, uh, you are bar none the
best audience in the business.
I ain't knocking any other hosts, man.
I'm sorry.
Maybe there are audiences as good, but there's no one better than you.
I had a really tough weekend.
You know, most of you know about it.
I'll explain in a second.
I got a lot to get to, to today, but, uh, the outpouring of love and, and for those
people, by the way, tell you, oh, you know, prayers don't matter, whatever.
That's all BS.
You know what they do, man.
It feels like God's like lifting you up.
I don't know, man.
There's something out there.
There's something out there we don't understand.
I told you on Friday, some spiritual world or something.
I don't know.
I'm not a bioethicist or a preacher or anything like that.
I'm just telling you that experience.
I told you my mom last week that happened and you can choose to believe it or not.
And I can, I can genuinely feel, feel the love from all of you.
You all are so great.
So I got a big show today and a lot to get to and a couple of thank yous at the beginning
and, uh, another media hoax, unfortunately up there with the, uh, insurrection hoax and
the very fine people hoax.
We now have another one, uh, bloodbath game, but this time we won and they know it.

All right, Joseph.
It's Monday, my buddy.
Hi, Danny.
It's Monday and it's so good to have you back.
I know.
And I missed your Friday thing, man.
We only miss that one other time, so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's very rare we've done that.
Yeah.
But it happens.
But you're back, pal.
Welcome back, buddy.
I think we had, yeah, I think it was a viable excuse.
Joe, forgive me.
It's good to have Guy back, too, a little under the weather last week.
So I just want to show you this picture of my mom because I got to let her go after today.
It's hard to talk about, but some of you are like, who's that?
Is that you, Dan?
No, that's actually not me.
I just love this picture of my mom.
That's my brother.
That's my brother, Jimmy, the middle one.
There were three boys.
I'm the oldest.
There's Jimmy and there's Joe, my youngest brother.
And that's how I choose to remember my mom.
I want to thank everybody who reached out.
First of all, you all.
You get the first thank you because I got so many tweets and Facebook messages and social
messages and emails and texts.
You all were so supportive of me and lifted me up, and it was a hard weekend, you know.
And I just want to tell you again, this is not a political segment.
But there are people out there who are really genuine.
Mark Robinson called, which I thought was amazing.
He's running for governor.
You know, he could have just sent a message.
Vivek sent a wonderful text, Chip Roy.
And of course, President Trump, the nicest guy, called, just wanted to know if there
was anything he could do.
And you know, my dad was in the car when he called and just couldn't believe it.
So thank you to everyone and all my childhood friends who showed up.
You all are really special.
So I'll leave that there.
That's the last time I'm going to talk about that.
But I appreciate all your love.
You guys are great.
Let's get to the meat and potatoes of the show, because life goes on, folks.
Fortunately, people pass and my mom would have been very disappointed if I didn't get
to the business part of the show right away.
So this is one of those stories this morning.
I saw it and I'm like, do I bring this up or is it going to sound self-celebratory for
no good reason?
The only reason I bring up stories I talked about in the past is because it's it makes
sense.
And I'm like, I got to bring this up.
Why is Joe Biden like Joe Biden?
Why is Biden Biden?
There are so many people out there who don't understand how it is a guy they, you know,
air quotes, mistook for a moderate, became the most liberal U.S.
president in United States history.
Folks, even worse than Obama.
Look at the immigration numbers.
Biden versus Obama.
Inflation numbers.
Biden versus Obama.
Government spending.
Biden versus Obama.
Please, please, please.
I'm this is I'm begging, like actually begging.
Please, Biden is worse.
You are you're fighting the wrong enemy.
There are so many people.
Oh, Dan, Obama was worse.
He was terrible.
Did you have no data to back that up?
That Obama, who was horrible, granted, is worse than Biden.
What was worse?
Things that were bad under Obama, which were a lot point stipulated brothers and sisters,
I give you a hard pound, but my elbows don't work.
I get you.
Tell me what number was worse.
Everything's worse under Biden.
He is trying to out liberal Obama.
And one of the stories that Joe and I have been telling you for nine years now, because
I was there in that White House, is these two freaking hate each other.
Why is it relevant?
Because now all of a sudden the media is reporting on what I've been telling you for nine years
as if it's some breaking news story that Obama and Biden hate each other.
But if you knew that and you do, because you listen to my show, everything makes sense.
Why is the border open?
Because Biden wants to be more liberal than Obama because he wants to be seen as the FDR.
Obama never was.
Biden is the president Obama always wanted to be, but didn't have the political sense
to pull off.
He was too politically savvy, Obama.
That's interesting.
Look at this Axios AM, Biden's rivalry, everything I told you.
President Biden doesn't speak often with Obama, but behind closed doors, he talks about him
a lot.
It's almost like I worked with him, he said.
Biden often measures himself against Obama, Axios reports.
Obama would be jealous, Biden sometimes says, when speaking about an accomplishment.
Folks.
Oh, my gosh, Dan, who cares?
You said no.
I'll keep this up, Keith.
You don't understand.
This is important because if this guy gets a second term, this is going to get even uglier.
He is trying to out Biden, Biden, which is who tried to out Obama, Obama.
The competitive dynamic has informed Biden's approach to several issues, including how
he dealt with Afghanistan, Israel and Congress.
Here it goes on, folks.
We lose.
We at this country's done.
This guy is going to go crazy in his second term as if he hasn't gone crazy.
Right here.
Listen to this.
Many longtime Biden aides have always felt Obama and his team didn't fully appreciate
Biden's expertise with foreign policy.
Folks.
This is about to get really, really bad.
One more.
This is important.
Last screenshot from this.
We three were there three.
I say, yeah, I would.
OK, what's it?
Oh, OK.
It's already there.
Sorry.
He's already stepped up to me.
At times, Biden's competitiveness with Obama has affected how he governs.
He's tried to correct for what he sees as a former president.
Let's move on now.
However, I'm warning you now.
Always been a voice for you guys.
I don't tell you something to sound like the guy or the man or who gives a shit.
None of that really matters.
None of that matters.
All that matters is that we are a step ahead and can see around corners with these people
and everyone who told you, oh, don't worry, the never Trumpers who said Biden's a moderate
Trump is so dangerous we can vote for Biden and he's going to be a caretaker guy.
I was the guy telling you that's bull.
He is going to out Obama Obama because he's jealous.
And now you're seeing them report on it.
A second term is going to be a freaking nightmare like you've never seen.
Everything you never thought would happen will happen.
You better vote like your darn life depends on it because it will.
Your guns gone.
Your money gone.
Stock market done.
Wealth tax.
It's all going to be there.
If he has the votes, it is all going to happen.
Bouncing around so much.
Must choke myself.
Folks, we got some hoax busting to do.
So, you know, listen, in the past, it was kind of difficult busting hoaxes with Trump.
Right, Joe?
I mean, it took a few days.
The thing with it.
Let's for example, the fine people hoax in Charlottesville.
Trump celebrates white supremacists.
Now, for those of us who watch the speech after the Charlottesville incident, what happened?
Donald Trump condemned completely and totally the white supremacists.
But of course, because the media are scum and garbage, they said Donald Trump praised
a bunch of white supremacists in Charlottesville.
Now, folks, I think, fellas, we got to be honest, everyone here, that that lie spread
around the world.
Did it not?
I mean.
Joe, you remember it.
It was like a week later.
Joe and I were still like, I can't believe the people or just watch the freaking speech.
Like all you want to do is listen to it.
And I was like, wow, the media, man, they really are powerful.
But then the insurrection hoax happened where he told people to march peacefully and patriotically.
And we kind of got out ahead of that one.
But still, I'm not going to tell you we won that.
We still kind of lost that one.
They got that around.
I mean, so much so, Jack Smith and Biden are trying to prosecute him over it.
But ladies and gentlemen, we have grown powerful because, you know, I love Guy and he loves
Star Wars.
This is like a force analogy.
They struck down Obi-Wan and only made him more powerful.
I think the beatings we've taken in the media, ladies and gents, I'm with you, brothers and
sisters.
I'm not virtue signaling with you.
We don't have to do that with each other.
And this is not time to, like, pop the champagne on the vuv, you know, but you should at least
kind of keep your chin up and your chest out this weekend.
You won this weekend.
The media tried it again with the bloodbath hoax.
What's the bloodbath hoax?
Well, you know, for those of you may have missed it this weekend, understandably, yeah,
I almost missed it.
I had obviously things going on, but I found out seeing this montage of headlines.
I was like, wow, Trump was calling for violence in the country.
This is crazy.
NBC News.
Trump says there'll be a bloodbath if he loses the election.
I was like, holy Moses, that's awful.
We shouldn't say that.
In Ohio campaign rally, Trump said there'll be a bloodbath, according to CBS, if he loses
in November.
And then Rolling Stone, which is, this is how I knew it was fake, Joe.
Rolling Stone.
What?
Guys, what's the rule on Rolling Stone?
Whatever Rolling Stone says, the opposite's true.
So once I saw Rolling Stone, I'm like, OK, this is definitely not true.
Trump says there will be a bloodbath and elections will end if he isn't reelected.
By the way, hat tip to end wokeness for this.
He put this up in a tweet.
I was like, OK, I saw Rolling Stone, so I figured this didn't happen.
So for the sake of clarity, showing you what kind of scum the media is, I'm going to play
the minute.
You may have heard it before, but it's worth hearing again, especially for the liberals
who listen.
Here is Donald Trump, the bloodbath comments, and you're going to notice something really
funny.
He's not talking about a bloodbath violence in the street if he's not elected.
He's talking about the economic conditions of the car market.
Sounds totally different than what the media told us.
You listen yourself.
Mexico has taken over a period of 30 years, 34 percent of the automobile manufacturing
business in our country.
Think of it.
Went to Mexico.
China now is building a couple of massive plants where they're going to build the cars
in Mexico and think they think that they're going to sell those cars into the United States
with no tax at the border.
Let me tell you something to China.
If you're listening, President Xi, and you and I are friends, but he understands the
square deal.
Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you're building in Mexico right now,
and you think you're going to get that, you're going to not hire Americans and you're going
to sell the cars.
Now we're going to put a 100 percent tariff on every single car that comes across the
line and you're not going to be able to sell those guys.
If I get elected now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole.
That's going to be the least of it.
It's going to be a bloodbath for the country.
That'll be the least of it.
Folks, he's clearly talking about the car market.
Now, one of the things on this show I refuse to do is do the same segment you've heard
on cable news all weekend.
I always try to take a story and give you an angle that's different and matters.
We obviously know that's fake.
The point to this is folks today to give you a little bit of a pat on the back so you have
some positive incentive to continue to do what you successfully did this weekend.
You took a story that would have been a pun intended bloodbath for Donald Trump and his
campaign.
If this was true, Donald Trump threatened violence.
If he wasn't elected, you're all going to die in some bloodbath.
You took a story that would have been a disaster for Donald Trump.
And not only did you crush it immediately, immediately, you turned it around.
So it became a, quote, bloodbath for the media that tried bloodbath game.
They just got humiliated.
Now, the term bloodbath, the lefties in the media can't use that term, conjures up images
of violence.
This is hat tip Maze Moore.
Oh, really?
Democrats never use that term?
Check this out.
In a move that could haunt the GOP, Donald Trump's allies have now ordered mass layoffs
at the Republican National Committee.
It comes just days after Trump's allies, including his daughter in law, took command of the RNC.
Headlines calling it a, quote, bloodbath and a, quote, mob like takeover with more than
60 officials, including senior staff members, laid off or asked to resign.
Folks, I could play for you a hundred of these, maybe more of media people using that exact
word to talk about firings, layoffs, economic conditions, the economy.
You took this story in a very instructive moment.
I need you to internalize and take going forward.
Here's the business model now.
Get on social media seconds after it happens.
Watch what the media does when they pick up the story, fire back instantly, instantly
with now with X under the control of Elon.
It is impossible for them to control the narrative anymore.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're in charge now, not them.
And of course, leave it up to the, I mean, the absolute dipshits at Drudge Report.
If you're still using Drudge, I'm sorry.
Here's Drudge, their headline.
Trump warns bloodbath if he's not elected, folks, get off Drudge.
I haven't, whether you use mine or not, I don't care.
There's Citizens Free Press out there, Revolver.
I have BonginoReport.com.
They're all good.
I don't care which one you use.
It's not, we don't do it for the money.
I just do it to give you an option.
Get off Drudge.
It's a garbage website for lefties.
All he wants is to destroy Donald Trump.
That's it.
I'm not going to lie to you.
I have to look at it every day because I have to see what crappy's reporting.
But don't give this guy the clicks.
Again, you got Bongino Report, Citizens Free Press, Revolver, and there's more out there.
There are other news aggregators.
Don't give Drudge the clicks.
It's a site run by absolute goons on the left.
Yeah, and again, the website hasn't been updated in 472 millennia.
So just get off it.
We have videos on ours too to help you out.
So, and by the way, they're so worried.
This is, receipts matter, right?
It's one thing for me to say, oh, we've turned the tide.
We're winning now.
It's a virtue signal.
You're doing a mighty Joe Young pattern.
No, New York Times, March 17th.
I think that was yesterday, right?
I don't even know the date.
I'm losing track of time.
How Trump's allies are winning the war over disinformation.
We're winning.
They know it.
They know we're winning.
I got another hoax though.
Bloodbathgate stole the whole weekend and good job crushing the media
and making it a story about them.
You all are amazing.
But there's another hoax brewing now.
I need, I'm asking you again for a favor.
I don't know, this one's on, I think a beg means like I,
but I'm asking you pleasantly and respectfully for a favor.
There's another hoax brewing out there.
It involves Trump, Hunter Biden, and an FBI informant.
The Guardian started up this weekend and I need you to crush this one too.
And again, I'll bring the receipt on it that it's a ridiculous one too.
Listen, if it's a hoax, it's a hoax.
If it's not, it's not.
These are all scams.
Quick break.
We'll get right back.

Okay, back to the show.
So here's another one I need you guys to squash
because it hasn't garnered a lot of steam yet
because I think it's so ridiculous.
Other mainstream media outlets kind of laughed,
but The Guardian, which is insanely left,
I mean, embarrassingly so, has this piece out here
where they're implying to make this simple
that FBI informant in the Hunter Biden case
that they are prosecuting now,
claiming he lied about Hunter Biden,
Alexander Smirnoff, you remember the case?
They're now implying ridiculously
that this FBI informant was getting payoffs
from Trump-connected people.
You get what they're getting at, right?
Oh, look, was this guy, you know,
winky, winky, nod, nod, connected to Trump?
So the article's titled,
US Firm That Paid Indicted FBI Informants
Tied to Donald Trump Associates Records Reveal.
And I was like, wow, oh my gosh,
Alexander Smirnoff, $600,000?
He was paid the same year,
they say he allegedly began lying to the FBI
about Biden's role in Ukraine.
It's good they use the word allegedly
because whatever the FBI tells you,
you can probably believe the opposite.
So I start reading the articles, y'all,
and I'm like, man, this better be
a pretty rock solid connection
for you to throw that out there in a paper
and not humiliate yourself.
And I'm like, is there like a check
from Trump, Inc. to this FBI informant?
Because Joe, one thing we do have
is a signed check from a Chinese
Communist Party-connected firm to Joe Biden.
We got that, we got that.
But that's not a connection
because, Guy, remember they told us
there's no evidence of Biden's involvement?
So the check to Joe Biden is no evidence.
But this guy apparently was paid off
by some Trump-connected associates.
I was like, wow.
So I looked at the chart and I was like,
wait, what?
So Smirnoff got $600,000 from ETT,
whose CEO is Chris Condon,
who's a third of a shareholder
in ETT Investment, who, it's so funny,
Guy's got to keep scrolling,
along with Shahil Khan and Farouk Arjuman
both have ties to Donald Trump.
What does that even mean?
What the hell?
Hey, Joe, Joe's a communist, too.
Do you know that?
Joe, producer Joe.
What?
Why'd you hire him?
