He’s a former Secret Service Agent, former NYPD officer, and New York Times best-selling author. Join Dan Bongino each weekday as he tackles the hottest political issues, debunking both liberal and Republican establishment rhetoric.
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with
your host, Dan Bongino.
You know, there's tired and there's tired of being tired and there's like tired of being
tired of being tired of these commies on the left.
They're obviously communists.
I mean, there's any serious person in the chat or anywhere else dispute that they're
obviously commies right now.
Every single hallmark benchmark of what a commie would do, the left has checked the
box.
We're already into the afterward of that book.
We're not in like the 12 step program.
The 12 steps are over 12 steps to communism.
We're already there.
So I got a little announcement today, nothing major, but it's just my little way of fighting
back because I'm just getting so tired of this.
And you know, I think one thing you guys will notice about me and ladies out there, and
I hope you do at least, is it, you know, money's great.
I'm a capitalist.
I enjoy making money and working for this program and getting up early and doing it,
but I'm not in this for the money.
There's far different reasons.
I'm in this.
I ran for office myself.
I was an activist and there were little things I try to do each day to set, you know, some
kind of an example.
Sometimes I'm not a great example, uh, you know, but sometimes, uh, I think I can set
just little examples that we can do little things each day to kind of ding into the left
and fight back.
So I want to do something today.
I'll get to that big show today.
A lot.
I had another, uh, by the way, update on this Hunter Biden debacle.
Apparently his legal team looks like they tried to pull a fast one yesterday.
We'll see.
Today's show is sponsored by blackout coffee.

Are you keeping track?
It's 4,574.
Fourth.
Be prepared.
Got it.
Probably the biggest sign yet.
Yeah.
45, 74 that we are headed towards world war three with China.
And when you hear the story, it's going to be hard for you to not agree with me.
You think I'm being hysterical about it.
Watch the show.
Tell me when I'm done.
Who's right.
Who's wrong.
All right.
Today's show by the way, he looks mattresses.

All right, Joe, let's go.
It is now show time.
It is.
I'm itching to get on the air this morning talking about this.
They've gone full commie, the left.
They've gone full commie.
They should have watched Tropical Thunder.
They've gone full commie, okay?
I've been warning you about this.
I've been warning you about it for a while.
They've been dancing around the topic.
We haven't been dancing.
We've been telling you the truth, and it's time to expose them for what they are.
Here's what I mean.
I read this story the other day in Reclaim the Net.
Stacey Plaskett, who's a Democrat member of Congress, a total joke, a humiliating embarrassment
I've seen her on TV making a fool out of herself.
She's now complaining that RFK is speaking, that RFK is allowed to speak, and that it'll
make the Biden administration hesitant about stopping misinformation.
They are not pretending anymore.
They are going full tyrant.
They are targeting RFK to shut him up because it'll make the Biden administration hesitant
about stopping misinformation, i.e. shit they don't like.
That's what misinformation means.
That's what they mean, these communist scum Democrats.
I am so tired of them.
I'm tired of the censorship.
I'm tired of the debanking.
I'm tired of the deplatforming, and you should be tired of it, too.
But there are little things we can do every day to stomp on their toes and make this really
hard for them.
RFK addressed this last night.
He was on with Sean Hannity on a town hall, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Again, let me just put this kind of caveat emptor, buyer beware.
I do not support RFK's campaign for the presidency.
I support free speech.
The fact that he's a victim of it, I don't care if he's a Democrat.
He deserves our support, not our political support, our constitutional support.
Those are two different things.
So the guy has been the subject of a massive censorship campaign because communists, communists
like Stacey Plaskett, don't want him to speak because he's speaking about their censorship.
It was him on Hannity last night addressing just this.
What would you have done differently and when?
At what point?
In other words, would you have allowed the experimental vaccine to be produced?
Would it be only for older people?
Would you have had mask mandates?
Would you have any school shutdowns?
You know, and if you took those policies on, do you not run the risk?
You know, a virus we didn't know a lot about early on.
We still don't really even know enough of as far as I'm concerned.
What would you have done differently?
I would have done everything differently.
I mean, number one, the first specific for the first thing that they should have done
is to use it.
You know, they use the Internet in many, many ways, usually to censor doctors and physicians
who are trying to say, hey, you know, I'm using a treatment, a protocol that actually
works.
I'm using therapeutics that work.
Those people are silenced.
It's the opposite.
We should have used the Internet.
We now have this extraordinary resource to link ourselves to the 15 million frontline
physicians around the world and have them report what treatments were they using?
What was working?
We know now there were dozens and dozens of therapeutic drugs that were off the shelf
drugs that obliterate.
Are you talking about HGQ?
Are you talking about Ivermectin?
Ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, fentanyl, many, many, many others.
This is why they want to shut this guy up.
This is why the symbiote, big pharma, big business and government, they're now all in
bed together.
They're all like it's like a train.
Each one's lips attached to the next one's ass.
That's what they do now.
They work to shut people like this guy up.
Where's this going?
I don't want to spend too much time in this opening segment.
Here's why I'm talking about this.
I read yesterday.
You know, I've got a new book coming out.
Proud of it.
I put a lot of work into it.
It's called The Gift of Failure.
It's available for preorder now.
The release date I think is the second week of September.
So you can pretty much order now and you'll get it pretty soon.
We'll announce more during the publication date.
I'm proud of the book.
The book's about all my mistakes.
I got tired of people writing books about how wonderful they are.
So I wrote a book about all the dumb shit I did and screwed up.
And there was a lot of it.
A lot.
From investments to stupid stuff I did in the Secret Service.
I wanted to tell you guys and expose myself to you to show you that, you know what?
You can do big things when messing up big too.
I don't want to hear about how successful and awful and great.
I want to hear about your awful mistakes and how you recovered.
That's not the point of this.
The point of this is my book is coming out now and people are ordering.
And a lot of people are ordering.
So I saw this article at The Blaze.
You can read my newsletter.
Target.
You know Target.
The leftist communist company refuses in-store sales of Glenn Beck's book weeks after a book
ban on Mark Levin was reversed.
So I thought to myself, I'm sitting there.
I called my publishing partner yesterday and I said, hey man, I really don't like Target.
This is a communist company.
It's a communist company.
It's made a lot of really genuinely awful moves in the last few weeks.
I said, do me a favor.
I want my book in Target.
Now, I got to be candid with you.
This is probably going to hurt my book sales.
Maybe, maybe not.
I don't know.
I don't know how many we sell in Target or don't.
But it probably costs us a couple thousand copies here or there in very specific states.
So I told them, I don't want to be in Target.
Pull any sales from Target so you will not see my book in Target.
I don't want to do business with Target.
I told them, pull it.
I have a partner in this.
I said, do not put my books in Target.
If Target doesn't want to make any money off conservatives who might be in there shopping
for a book like mine, then fine.
If the book fails because of it, the book fails.
But I'm not going to, I'm not doing it.
I'm not doing it.
If Target doesn't want books on there, for all these left-wing companies, there are a
lot of them.
I mean, most of them who sell books, to be candid, are left-wing, but they at least try
to sell conservative books and don't screw, you know, screw people over that much.
Target's just like being open and honest about it.
I told them, forget it.
I'm not going to allow you to play games.
And if other left-wing outlets want to toy with me too on it, that's, we'll pull the
book from there too.
I'm not, I'm really not interested.
I think I opened up the show that way in the beginning of the show today for a reason.
I want you to understand, like, I'm not in this to like make cheap thrills and money
off you all.
I love what I do.
I'm fine.
I'm just getting tired of this bullshit, as you can tell with my tone today.
The country's just falling apart.
And this is a little thing.
I'm not trying to suggest it's going to change the world.
I'm not even trying to suggest there aren't left-wing outlets that are going to sell the
book.
They are.
But these guys got to learn a lesson.
You would think after Target, after all the crap with the sex, you know, sex-confused
clothing or whatever that may be, or identity politics, clothing scandal they have, whatever
the hell is going on, you'd think they'd wake up and smell it.
But they're not.
They're not.
They're just doubling down on attacking conservatives.
We're going to a dangerous place, guys.
We're in a really dangerous spot right now.
We got an election coming up, and we can dial a lot of this back, and we can fix a lot of
this.
I'm sure of it.
But here's more evidence that we are going down an extremely dangerous road.
This is what passes for mainstream conversation on the left on MSNBC with the left's new 12-step
to communism program we're under, where everybody's sitting in there.
Nobody thinks this is even remotely unusual.
Here's an MSNBC guest yesterday on, I'm going to talk about their multi-part plan, the left
when we're done, to take this country on the path to communism.
Here's a guest suggesting that we should use the Patriot Act, implying we should use it
to target domestic Trump supporters like terrorists, and nobody on this panel on MSNBC thinks this
is even remotely unusual.
Watch this.
I mean, we're in a battle for hearts and minds, and there are people who are on the fence.
There are messages and messengers and programs that get to those people, that bring them
over into community organizing and into nonprofit organizations and away from the Patriot Front
and the Oath Keepers.
And I think the parallels with 9-11 are important.
We've talked about this before.
After 9-11, the laws didn't work.
They made massive changes to respond to a new threat.
I think we have to face the fact that many of our structures, laws, and policies may
not work.
After 9-11, we created the Department of Homeland Security.
There was the Patriot Act.
There was a massive change in our entire society to face the number one threat, or at least
what was communicated as a number one threat.
I think we need the same kind of tectonic shift.
It's got to be much more than see something, say something.
But maybe our laws need to change to respond to the fact that someone like Mike Flynn,
the former national security director, is openly calling for violence consistently.
Folks, as you can tell, I'm very frustrated.
It really is.
I deal with it all day.
I deal with it all night.
So much happens behind the scenes.
So much happens behind the scenes I don't talk about on the show because I don't want
to make the show about my personal issues.
But the attacks on us are just relentless.
It never, ever stops.
Some days when I show up, the guys can probably tell.
I'm in a little bit of a salty mood.
The reason is I probably was dealing with something hairy the day before.
And I was.
It's just nonstop.
They have this multi-part plan to come after us.
I mean, did you see that guy, Paul Rykoff, did you see what he was just implying?
That because he doesn't like General Mike Flynn, he's calling for violence, which is
fake.
That's ridiculous.
Then he's implying that these Patriot Act tools of surveillance that are applied to
should be applied against the American domestic audience because you don't like the political
arguments they're making.
And no one on MSNBC thinks, my gosh, that sounds crazy.
Do you understand if we were to say this on our show, we would be immediately boycotted
by every left wing crazy lunatic around.
We should employ the police state to deliberately target leftists because their ideas are freaking
crazy.
Do you realize the insanity that would ensue immediately?
People knocking at our door, demanding investigations and public hangings.
It would be insane the amount of animosity that would be headed our way.
But this is what passes for normal conversation on the commie networks like MSNBC.
Oh, yeah, sure.
No sweat.
We should just use the Patriot Act to go after people, especially Mike Flynn, a decorated
military hero.
Folks, here's their plan.
Censor.
Censor everything you can, throw the constitutional safeguards out the window.
Plaskett and others are just open about it now.
The Biden administration is protesting the Missouri v. Biden case, which called them
out for censorship.
The Biden administration is like, we're going to do more of it.
We don't really care.
Deputize private partners to censor what you get spanked in court doing.
Use NGOs as well to boycott conservative outlets like that global disinformation thing with
we talked about yesterday, weaponize the government to go after people you don't like.
Trump, Mike Flynn, Roger Stone.
Deputize other private actors in the media.
Use the media as your propaganda tool to do deep, you know, deep cuts into your other
political opponents and make sure you tar them with labels.
Corrupt science, corrupt medicine, corrupt education.
This stuff is happening right now.
We've got one opportunity to turn this around.
And we're running out of time.
We're running out of time because I want to transition to another topic here that's important.
If these warnings are getting old, let me know in the chat, please.
Chat folks.
Why?
For yes and for no.
Please.
Are you tired of these warnings about China?
Do you get it?
If you get it and you don't want to hear it, OK, I won't mention it again.
But again, every single day, the signs are out there that we are headed to World War
III.
And let me tell you something.
I watched the video and I didn't put it on because I wasn't sure where it was from.
OK, good.
You're not because I'm not tired of it either.
OK, I appreciate that.
I watched the video.
I found it on social media, but I wasn't sure where it was from.
So if I'm not really sure, I don't like to put it on the air because I don't want it
to say, you know, you never want to find out later like it's some crap propaganda video.
But the video was about what nuclear war would look like.
What an actual launch would look like, folks, within hours, the world would be finished.
I mean, I get you all of course, Dan, of course, we know that.
But when you actually watch what would happen, how within days the black smoke from the fires,
from thousands of nuclear weapons going off at the same time would black out most of most
of the northern hemisphere, parts of the southern hemisphere, too.
And there would be no earth left.
There'd be no more wildlife.
Animals would die.
The estimates are five billion people would be dead in just a couple of months.
So the fact that China may want to invade Taiwan and Russia's already threatening war
against you, excuse me, nuclear war against Ukraine, already at war with Ukraine, is kind
of a big deal.
And we've got rotting oatmeal brains in the White House who's already got a blackmail
file this thick with Ukraine and China.
And nobody's worried about this.
I want to play that video so bad to show you how bad the situation we're in right now,
so that everybody will wake up and go, I better vote like my life depends on it because it
might.
I watched a couple of those videos like that this weekend.
You've seen them?
Yeah, they're horrible.
They really get to you.
Oh, dude.
How they were showing how a nuclear submarines we have in Norway, around the Norway region
up there in the ocean would launch.
And then there'd be launches from Russia and then there'd be launches from land-based systems
here.
Thousands of them going off at the same time.
American cities vaporize fires.
I mean, I mean, the percussion alone wiping out people miles from the explosion, people's
lungs exploding.
I mean, I'm not trying to scare the shit out of you.
Watch the video yourself.
It's awful.
It is awful.
And it's another reason to say, hey, Dan Bongino has been talking about this every freaking
day.
I don't think he's crazy.
There's a new sign every day.
China's up to something.
Here you go.
Four thousand five hundred seventy four.
Russia and China's joint military drills in Asia are making the Pentagon very nervous.
Semaphore.
This article is from the halcyon days, Joe, of yesterday.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yesterday.
Russia and China are stepping up military drills in Asia and the Pacific, and their
moves are starting to alarm the Pentagon.
Oh, you think they're doing massive air and naval exercises and combat games focused on
safeguarding transportation here?
Here's the worrying part.
This is being done.
They're safeguarding maritime transportation as a mocking reference to language.
The Biden administration, Jews, they don't respect this guy in the White House.
They already have a blackmail file on him.
This is why I'm worried.
These stories are everywhere every freaking day, man.
We are staring down the barrel of the largest nuclear gun you've ever seen in your lifetime.
We're in big trouble if we don't square this shit away quick.
Newsmax China propaganda firm promoted an organized D.C. protest.
Folks, this is from two days ago.
Not only is China own Biden, they know how to manipulate our media because our media
are a bunch of left wing goons.
They are working our system against us to foster the division in the country that exists
Washington Times.
Where's the foreign minister I talked about the other day?
Outspoken Chinese foreign minister purged by Xi Jinping.
Why was he purged?
Because apparently he had good relations with Secretary of State Tony Blinken.
What other sign do you need?
Anyone need any more signs?
He.
You need any more signs?
Have I made the case?
He hates this story.
Am I unnecessary?
I can't.
I put my apology.
Justin, what are your feelings about this story?
Folks in the chat, I'm listen, I'm just here to protect you.
Is nuclear war inevitable?
Absolutely not.
Is an invasion of Taiwan inevitable?
Absolutely not.
But we have ourselves in a bad situation here.
The situation we find ourselves in is the Chinese Communist Party is watching the division
in the United States right now as Donald Trump gets closer and closer to the presidency.
He stays in the race and it looks like he's going to win.
They are terrified of Trump.
I believe they will make a move even faster.
So we have a really bad situation where as Trump gets closer to winning, we're in trouble
as Trump gets closer to losing.
If that's the case or if something were to happen or he drops out, we're still in trouble
because now they know they've got Biden in office for potentially five more years and
then they can really invade.
Something big is going to happen soon.
They're watching everything.
They're watching divisions here too, like the video I'm going to play next.
And they see that this country is eating itself alive and it's military.
And they are just licking their chops, baby, to get going.
Yeah, Guy, I do.
He wants to know if I think they're going to do something before 2024.
I candidly, and I hope, believe me, folks, I pray to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
and I'm not losing his name in vain.
I pray I'm wrong.
But I think it could be within a few months.
The signs are everywhere.
All the articles I'm showing you are from standard media outlets, some left wing, some
right wing.
None of this stuff is made up.
Of course it makes sense.
He says it makes of course it makes sense.
Do it now.
You've got the you've got the guy in the White House.
You've got a blackmail file on the guy.
He's going to do what you want.
I mean, this is just devastating.
Scares the hell out of me every day.
All right.
I got another story coming up.
This is the kind of stuff they're licking their chops over.
The race grift going on in the country that's just destroying this place and ripping it
to shreds.
Hey, are you tired of the same old monotonous liberal flavored coffee brands?
I mentioned them at the beginning of the show.
Try my friends at Black Owl Coffee.
They care about two things.
He owned this company.
I've spoken to him often.
He cares about the country and he cares about coffee.
He loves the coffee.
I love the coffee.
He loves it.
My wife loves it.
My wife's Colombian.
She's really hard on coffee.
If it's bad, she ain't touching it again.
