In this episode, I welcome back President Donald J. Trump to the show. He answers questions about the troubling calls from leftists for a “street fight” after the election, social media censorship of his account, his election chances, and on Biden’s lies about tax hikes and defunding the police.
Yes, elections matter!
In just 36 days, the fate of this country will be at stake.
But, if you didn't know that, I am not sure what to tell you. I was in darkness for 13 days, and without the internet and cable TV for 36 days, following the Iowa Derecho, and I still found the way to stay on top of things: a battery-powered radio. And of course, some awesome radio talk show hosts, such as Rush Limbaugh, Simon Conway, JoePags (Pagliarulo) and others, all helped me stay informed.
Until you go without electricity and your connection via the internet to the world, you may not fully appreciate the information that you have available to you. When I went without the information that I was normally able to soak in, it magnified my appreciation for what we are able to access when everything is working as it should be.
So, it is going to be up to you to be informed in 36 days. Or before you vote. Yes, this country is going to be at stake; please be informed.

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:
In this episode, I address the growing evidence that there is a large group of “secret” Trump voters out there ready to vote. I also address the growing body of research that masks and lockdowns do not work. Finally, I address the bigoted comments by this celebrity and the celebrities who support him.
After what occurred last week, I think I'm still three episodes behind, even after this episode from last Thursday, Jul 16. I decided that I'm not going to rush to get caught up. And it is supposed to be a scorcher this weekend, so it may be good to stay inside during the daytime and maybe then I'll get caught up. The thing is, how it makes it difficult to do more than one episode per day, though I have managed to before, I really do watch these episodes several times through, and pick up on really vital information that helps me bring these episodes to you. And yes, Dan Bongino, reading the Show Notes is a huge part of my studying and preparation process. Thank you so much! (I think this is where I provide the link to Dan's Newsletter, also known as his Show Notes, right?)
Okay, so as I was watching this episode, searching for something to write about, I came across this gem of a segment. Dan shows a video montage of media gaslighting, where they consistently say, "President Trump is at war with..." As Dan explains, the important thing is to ask, "Why?" It is important to know why, because "the 'why' matters," as Dan says. The media and the Left does not want people to concentrate on Antifa and BLM being violent, but rather, "mostly peaceful protestors," as they burn down businesses and knock down statues, and bash people with baseball bats, etc. So, what the Leftwing media wants to do is show Conservatives and the President as being "warlike," even when it is their own shock troops out there trying to do all they can to intimidate the peaceful Conservative folks, and keep them locked up at home.
Here is another segment that shows just how the liberals are trying to divide us. There is a great article, by Kemberlee Kay, in legalinsurrection.com that should be read and examined. Dan points out the absolute peak stupidity of what the National Museum of African American History and Culture has put out on it's website. Talking about being racist! Bigoted stereotypes, anyone? Did they even think this through? Do they not realize that people of all shades of melatonin in their skin can have these values? This is another story where we need to ask, "WHY?" In one of my all time favorite segments that Dan does here, he explains the "WHY" very well. He explains how the Radical Left can't be honest about what they want, because people would never vote them if the true goals of the Left were known. You will have to see this to get the answer. This part will knock your socks off, maybe even nuke your bagels. Dan hits it out of the park.
Just watch the whole episode, and you'll get it, for sure!
From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:
In this episode, I address the catastrophic decision by this big city Mayor which could change everything. I also address what happened in the Supreme Court and how it will change the 2020 election.
Now that I've been doing this blogging about the Dan Bongino show on a daily basis, since February 1, 2020, and yes that was the first and most feeble one, it has become my "JUST ONE JOB," and I better not ever screw it up. (Just kidding, actually. I just like that line, "you had just one job.") It has evolved quite a bit since that first one I posted five months ago. I now have a format that I always use, and that makes it much easier to do. It took quite a bit of experimentation to get it to where it is now.
Yes, I'm officially retired, and I don't do this for money. No, Dan doesn't put a stack of cash in a garbage can for me to pick up, though he probably saw that happen back in the days at the 75th Precinct where he worked when he was with the NYPD. No, there's no compensation. Nor would I even expect it. He probably doesn't even know I exist. This project for me is not financially driven. It is MISSION driven! What do I mean by that?
In the very first segment (after he does the ad spots) in this episode, Dan talks about the 911 call that he had discussed in yesterday's show. Little did Dan know it, but he gave me the rah-rah speech that kept me going today. It was about not giving up the fight, because the Left wasn't going to, and they would continue to pummel our cabooses into oblivion, even if we tried to quit. For us to quit, and give up, is just what the Left wants us to do. We can't. I can't, even though sometimes I get that feeling that I'm barely reaching anybody with my blogs and social media. But then, I remember this one important thing: It may be that one person I reach that does go make a difference. Or it could be somebody that always votes Democrat that realizes the Demonicrats running large urban areas really don't care about our safety. Like now, in New York City, where Mayor Bill DeBlasio is going to cut a billion dollars from the public safety budget. What a clown! If you don't think that matters, you haven't been watching Dan's show.
But, that's right, it may be just that one person that my blog reaches, that starts fighting back. Somebody that has some influence. It could be like the guy dancing in the park, and one guy joins him, which is all it took to bring everyone into the dancing!
So, I just have one job. Well, actually two: Encourage somebody to get into the fight, and annoy liberals. Dan, just put the cash in a paper bag on top of the recycle cannister behind my house.
From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:
In this episode I address the controversy surrounding the police use of force incident in Atlanta, and the subsequent unrest. I clear up the misinformation coming from the media about the incident.
Yes, about that use of force incident in Atlanta, I was so glad when I watched this episode, yesterday and again today, that Dan covered it as well as he did. The good news is that when I saw the coverage on Saturday, I could tell right away that it was definitely a proper use of deadly force. And, I was never a law enforcement officer, and I could still tell. I was watching coverage on Fox News, and they were being mostly fair, until I heard the Fox News host that was doing the coverage say that an unarmed (wrong!) black man was shot and killed by the police. It wasn't one of the regulars, but probably some weekend host working extra on a late Saturday night. I wish I remembered who it was. Maybe the Fox News guy didn't realize that a taser could be used as a weapon. So can a steak knife. However, that doesn't excuse him, and I believe it was purposeful, and meant to gaslight us a little more, and accept the anger of the protestors that just torched the Wendy's where it happened.
Though I understood the situation, it was really good to see Dan defending the officer - who was immediately fired - and the police chief in Atlanta resigned, you have to wonder how many people only saw the events through the eyes of the left-wing lying fake news media, where many of the pertinent details were left out, and were inspired to go out and riot some more? Wouldn't you think that the MSM people would having feelings of deep guilt and regret for encouraging people to go do damage that only hurts other Americans? Did the left-wing gaslighting media folks think about the black kid that's trying to pay for his or her first car and take college courses by working at that Wendy's? Of course not. Let's just create more chaos, and gain fuel to dismantle police departments and/or defund them... That IS their purpose, and I'll tell you why.
A day or two ago, I saw tweet that asked why the Left is trying to eliminate local police departments. That IS a great question. Who would ever think that not having police coming to the rescue in an emergency is a good idea? Just because there are a handful of bad cops out there? We're not talking about departments being saturated with bad law enforcement officers. I mentioned that I had a theory, and somebody asked for the link to my theory, which I didn't find. I probably had told somebody about it verbally, so, now I will be able to point to this post. My theory is that the Demonicrats want absolute chaos, and without police to contain it. And then, should the Demonicrats win back the White House and the U. S. Senate, and keep the House of Representatives, they would call it a major crisis (which it would be), and institute a national police force. I really believe that is a very plausible theory, being that the national police force would eventually be managed by the global government that the Left is striving for. One of my clues was when I learned about the drones made in China. Go ahead, just google "DJI". It's just the beginning.
Please forgive me for straying off the subject there. Oh, wait, no, I'm right on subject. When Dan talks about the problem "coming to your front door," that may have been an even more dire warning than he had considered. Our problems are going to become real for many of us, on a personal level. No, we won't become violent and destroy our economy like the Left likes to do, and wants people to do, but as Dan is telling us, we are going to have to fight back. We can no longer remain silent.
So watch this episode, and please pay close attention. And beware. Don't answer the front door if you see that drone hovering there. Just sayin'...
From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:
In this episode, I address the fireworks up on Capitol Hill yesterday over defunding the police. I also address the radical leftist’s takeover of a part of Seattle. Finally, I address the continued meltdown of liberal cancel culture.
One of the problems we have with having a rough day is that we don't always realize it is just training so that you can have a better day sometime in the future. For me, that happened yesterday. It turned out to be training day yesterday, like a dry run, so that when I went in to be tested for Coronavirus today, it was a piece of cake. Although, getting the deep nasal swab sounds pretty easy, it was a little uncomfortable. In my left nostril, especially, there was a spot where they were swabbing that made my whole nose tingle like with an electric shock. Tears were running out of my eyes. (I have no doubt that was where the aliens implanted the RFID chip...) The important thing is, I got the test taken, and it will be interesting to find out the results sometime next week. It is important for my state, and the CDC, to get the data it needs to make good decisions, if that's the true purpose.
There is a lot to this episode as you will see when you watch it. For one, Dan's testimony at the Congressional Judicial Committee hearing is something that we can all be proud of him for. And especially for what he told them. Dan makes the point, very well, that the hypocrisy of the Left is obvious. While they are stereotyping all of the police as being bad, they criticize the police for stereotyping (profiling). Only the Left says that when the police are stereotyping suspects, it's racial profiling. Yes, they always need to play the race card, don't they. It's very sad, because a few bad apples can spoil the whole bunch. Cops are people, too, and a few of the bad ones slip through the system for too long. There are all kinds of reasons why that happens; our goal is to fix those problems. Not by defunding the police, or making their jobs so unbearable, that we lose them to attrition at a rate too high to have affective police forces. I covered this a few days ago; feel free to go here to see that post. We need to Defend the Police, not Defund the Police.
Obviously, that Antifa take-over of part of Seattle, in an area called Capital Hill, now known as the Capital Hill Autonomous Zone (Chaz), makes the present chaos in America appear to be all the more dangerous to this country and our freedom. I think that Dan would agree, we really need to do something about that, stat, and it will probably take the Federal Government, probably FBI, and some of us would throw in Special Operators, as in SEALS or Delta Force. Those guys that took over the area are armed, and out-of-their-minds looney tunes. But, we know, it's an election year, and you'd hear the Leftist media say it was like Waco all over again, but way worse, because it was President Trump that took action. I get that. Sadly, that is kind of how politics go now a days. My advice would be to do it very stealthily, without casualties. But, I can still see it now, where the SEALS or FBI SWAT teams are blamed for using some kind of sleeper (choke) hold on heavily armed guards.
Yes, things are getting kind of kinky out there, as Dan explains. The Left wants you to believe that 2+2=5. You must comply. Resistance is futile. It's okay to protest and riot regarding George Floyd's death, but church gatherings of over 10 people will cause a new wave of the pandemic. They can't keep their story straight, to be honest. But, don't disagree with them. Not even if you are on their side, because they will eat their own. That's what they do on the Left. That's a little taste of what you'll be hearing Dan discuss in this great episode you can watch this weekend.
From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:
In this episode, I address the Democrats‘ latest outrageous attack on the police and I debunk the myths they’re promoting to advance their cause. I also address the protests, the riots, and the debate over the Second Amendment. Finally, I address the latest efforts by the government to hide this key Spygate witness.
It looks like a really good night for me to take a slight breather from all my writing in the past week. Not that I mind it at all, it's actually just what I need to help get through the "shelter-in-place" thing. It puts my mind to work.
It seems that Dan is still very focused on the calls by Liberal politicians to "Defund the police," and we can understand that, being what he did in the past as an officer with the NYPD and then as an agent for the Secret Service. But, it should be a very important issue for all of us, assuming that none of us want to be living in a extremely unsafe world, where rule of law no longer exists!
When you are voting for people this election in November, a few short months from now, please pay very close attention to what the candidates running for office are saying. First of all, you need to watch this episode, it will help you determine if that politician is anti-law enforcement. Sometimes, it isn't easy to tell when they have these nice "word salad" talking points and say things that may sound really imaginative, but really offer absolutely a big goose egg in actual solutions. And, oh boy, the gigantic myths about the police "problems" that Dan easily debunks - with actual facts - are the other things to be aware of and considered before you vote. If the candidate is for banning "assault rifles" and for "defunding the police," you will know for sure not to vote for that candidate. Be careful, though, they can be really good at hiding their true beliefs, too. Politicians can be tricky. That's why you need to be sure you know about four of the top myths about police, which Dan gets to in his last segment.
Yes, I know, in the show description above, it mentions a Spygate story and the debate over the Second Amendment. I'm very sorry that I have to disappoint you, but Dan doesn't ever get to either of those topics in this episode. But that is perfectly fine, as the show content today is meant to counter the call for defunding the police and all of the other BS that Liberals are talking about. I call it, Defending the Police, which is something that we need people like Dan to do, especially with his experience and perspectives. And, it is all worth it, when he shows the President of the Minneapolis City Council, Lisa Bender, totally making a fool of herself by doubling down on her proposal to dismantle the Minneapolis police force. It seems absolutely absurd to even suggest getting rid of law enforcement, and one of these days, I'll tell you my theory about why Liberals are suggesting this.
That's all I've got today, folks, but if you haven't seen today's show yet, this Episode 1270 is great, and you need to see it.
From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:
In this episode I address the insane “defund the police movement” and I debunk liberal myths about policing which are being used to fuel rage. I also address the inside story of the NYPD chaos and the Secret Service’s political fights.
So, there is this little piece of advice that Dan Bongino has for those out there that want to defund the police. This is being discussed in liberal cities, like in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. And it isn't just stopping at defunding the police. In Minneapolis, they actually voted to dismantle the police force. I really think that they should reconsider that proposal. Doing away with the police force is not going to lead to any great civilization with no crime. Actually, it would have the exact opposite affect. Yep, just my personal opinion, based on what I know is true. There are still unbelievably evil sociopathic people out there, and without any type of law enforcement, it would be total chaos and anarchy.
There are three big reasons for having plenty of very well trained law enforcement officers: The police are there to possibly prevent crimes when possible, stop crimes while they are occurring, and investigating crimes that have already occurred. In this post, I want to focus on explaining and exploring each of those elements, which should help people understand why defunding the police is a really horrible idea.
In the case of crime prevention, there's a thing called deterrence. I'm sorry, but anybody that thinks that the criminal thinks about what happens if they get caught, prosecuted and found guilty, and incarcerated, is a deterrent, I would have to say they are wrong. I know that seems hard to believe. I couldn't even fathom the thought of being locked up in a cell, for any amount of time. Of course, now, people are being let OUT of jail because of the Wuhan Coronavirus, so even the thought of incarceration isn't going to deter many of the hardened criminals. The REAL deterrent to keep a crime from occurring is a police presence. Police patrols in the squad cars, plainly marked and obvious to the criminals, and even the walking beat patrols, DO deter crime. Defunding the police would greatly reduce the manpower needed for this element of fighting crime: Prevention by deterrence.
The next element is very critical to your safety in this world. Being able to call 911 when a crime is being committed, and having officers arrive soon enough to possibly save your life, would be very beneficial for your health and safety. Of course, they can't always get to you in time, but they will try their hardest: Lights, sirens and the whole nine yards. But throw in a huge manpower shortage, and large gaps in coverage, and you're going to have a very serious problem. Sadly, there are areas that would see much less coverage than is needed, and that would be in the rougher neighborhoods. They would suffer the most. Like Dan talks about in this episode, the police come to emergencies sometimes just to protect the fire fighters and/or the EMTs. And who is going to direct traffic in the case of accidents on the freeway, to keep everybody safe, including you?
Finally, there is the third element for the need for plenty of funding for the police. It always seems to be a problem when a crime has been committed, and that hopefully somebody will investigate it. That could be you, someday: Wanting justice for a crime that hurts you or a loved one. Now think about it, if police departments are defunded, and they don't have the personnel to investigate, you'll be left in the dark, with no recourse (except for being a real life Charles Bronson "Death Wish" vigilantes, which you DON'T want!). Of course, with a lack of funding, and many officers leaving the police departments, you then lose the experienced officers you would want as investigators. There is only so much they can do. And yet, you will still want the crime solved, and not become a cold crime. But no, your police department was defunded, and all the good investigators went elsewhere.
Now, when I was watching this episode, I heard Dan say that when a crime is being committed, "Who are you going to call, Ghost Busters?" That hit me on two different levels. First of all, that is the perfect description of the ignorance of the Liberals, and tells you how little they have thought through their suggestion that the police can be defunded or eliminated. But the second level, one that I care about, and might mean nothing to you, is my question in the back of my mind: Is Dan Bongino reading my blogs or tweets? Just wondering. I'd be honored if he was.
Please watch this episode if you haven't already. Let me know if you think I am right, which you can do by sharing the link and tweet(s) I do to promote this wonderful episode. Thank you, Dan Bongino, for all that you do, and have done in law enforcement.
From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:
In this episode I address the Democrats pushing to “defund the police,” and the chaos that would result from this nonsense. I also address the epic failure of Rod Rosenstein to account for the Spygate scandal. Finally, I discuss the incredibly economic numbers which may indicate we’re moving back to prosperity.
Don't worry about a thing, folks, the Liberals in the major urban areas and Blue states, have it all under control. No, Dan didn't say that, and I'm being so sarcastic. It must be Sarcastic Saturday, right? Well, while some of those states and cities were still in lock downs, or maybe allowed to open their small businesses, while being forced to work with half, or less, of their normal pre-Wuhan revenues, so they could institute "social distancing" practices.
Meanwhile, the people in those areas were allowed to go out and protest the murder of George Floyd, and while they were at it, bad elements of society came along and caused massive amounts of property damage, looting and pillaging, and destroying the very businesses that would be hiring many people after the lockdowns were over. Geniuses. Really, I don't think those people thought it out very well. I'm speaking of the politicians. With all the people out peacefully marching, and some without wearing protective masks, will we be seeing a massive spike of new Coronavirus cases? Will we see the number of hospitalizations become overwhelming, and Coronavirus deaths spiraling out of control? Those are the questions that I've been asking since the protests became real following the public execution by the police of a Minnesota man. But, can I ask, what happens if there isn't some kind of spike from the lack of social distancing? Were we duped and had our livelihoods taken away for no reason?
Despite this episode being loaded for bear, and there is a lot that Dan will get to, probably the biggest attention grabber for me was when he discussed the Brian Fallon tweet that says, "Defund the police." In case you didn't see it, I did a retweet with comment on my timeline, where I say, "What a total moron for tweeting this. Has anyone actually thought this through? When somebody invades their homes, who are they going to call, Ghost Busters? Is Superman going to come save them? Brian Fallon's tweet is 10 times more absurd than anything I can say about it."
So, is it just me that thinks that those calling for defunding their police, or even dismantling the police force, have not thought it through very carefully? Yes, Mr. Floyd's death was terribly tragic, horrifying for everyone (except cave dwellers) that saw it in the videos and/or news channels. While the thing that happened should be treated as an anomaly, by several rogue cops, the Liberal left is telling everybody that it is systemic racism. I do not agree with that assessment.
In yesterday's post, I had written something that I want to correct. I was speaking of Demonicrat politicians, and I wrote: "Yes, there are still some very bad people out there, and SOME of them will eventually face another election." I should have added the following: "And some day they will be face to face with their Maker." Maybe too blunt, but there is a point to this. Racism really isn't wide spread, or systemic, in America.
Since my days of childhood in the 50's and 60's, vast improvements have been made. I don't see racism like I saw it 50 years ago. Not even close. I won't deny that there are still improvements to be made! Yes, that is something we can all unite on, and we can do it despite the influence of the dark forces of evil that need economically challenged people that will depend on the government, from cradle to grave. We can, and we will make those changes, and a lot of that needs to be done at the ballot box in all national, state, and local elections. Just sayin'...
Okay, as usual, I've had my rant for the day. Please keep in mind that I do hope you watch the Dan Bongino Show episodes that I have been placing in many of my posts. For me, watching them has been a very important part of my days and nights. I get to see Dan qualify my values and beliefs, and knowing that I'm not alone out here, in flyover country, "just a nobody" that believes that America is still a great country, and a miracle that really shouldn't have happened. (Yes, in this episode, Dan will explain that, too!)
No, I know I'm NOT alone, and definitely NOT a nobody! And there is this: For those of us that love America, many of us believe that President Donald Trump is making America great again, and that he will continue to do so if elected this November for another four years. Now, we do have some new challenges that need to be worked out, but with 2.5 million Americans going back to work in the latest numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)... And that leftist "economist" Paul Krugman denied could be true, with a tweet that apparently said that the BLS fudged the numbers, but had to walk back. Enough said about that hack.
Get the popcorn ready, and have at it! It is seriously one of Dan's best since I've been watching him. Ding, ding, ding! (You will only get that if you are watching The Dan Bongino Show.) Roll the tape!
