The Dan Bongino Show

Attack at Mar-a-Lago (Ep. 2458)

23 Feb 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

2.798 - 32.659 Dan Bongino

All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for The Dan Bongino Show. You know, I very seriously thought about doing an emergency show. I do them once in a while. We had another tragic... Incident and attack at Mar-a-Lago. Another, this is like the, I think the 12th or so incident where lunatics have tried to get into Mar-a-Lago, snuck into Mar-a-Lago, whatever it may be.

32.699 - 57.802 Dan Bongino

This is clearly the most targeted president just by the sheer volume and number of attacks we've seen in modern history. Liberals, that's just a fact. You can shut the... You know it's true. And it's because of all of the... TDS, which is very real, by the way, based hysteria and hyperbole about this president. Fascist, Nazi, Hitler, Hitler, fascist, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Hitler, Hitler, Nazi, Nazi.

59.345 - 75.925 Dan Bongino

You did this. You did this. Cut the bullshit. You know you did this. You know it. Every single anti-Trump narrative out there is built for this moment, for building up uncontrollable red line level freaking levels of rage so that people go and do things like this.

Chapter 2: What happened during the attempted attack at Mar-a-Lago?

76.126 - 98.293 Dan Bongino

Stop pretending otherwise. Own it. It's you. I really thought about it, but I said to myself, I was in Miami, and I took my daughter to a game this weekend, so I couldn't get back in time. So forgive me. I do those once in a while. The crew is a weekend off. Andrew and Josh are new. They're like, wait, we do these shows once in a while? Yes, we do.

98.593 - 109.097 Dan Bongino

We're going to have to get you like emergency pagers from the 90s. Remember he used to text people, he used to page them, the beepers, 911, that's what he used to send to them. Oh, I may be way too old.

Chapter 3: How has Trump been targeted compared to past presidents?

109.117 - 131.939 Dan Bongino

These guys are like, what the hell are you even talking about? You remember those Motorola pagers? Big congrats to the USA hockey team. Man, it was good to see you guys pull that off. 46 years to the day of the miracle on ice, which is my favorite sports story of all time. Big congratulations. God bless America. Love you guys. Couldn't have been a better representation.

131.959 - 150.942 Dan Bongino

Congrats to the women's hockey team too for kicking ass. It's amazing how this is probably like, I mean, hockey, I saw a post. I don't know. Forgive me. I don't know who wrote, you know, I had to people all the time. I saw a post on Twitter that hockey, and don't kill the messenger, it's not me. Are we clear on that, Guy? You got it on the record? It's not my opinion.

0

151.963 - 174.093 Dan Bongino

I'm just telling you, I saw on Twitter, maybe it was Bobby Borak from OutKicks, and he said that hockey is like the seventh most popular sport in the United States, and we still won two gold medals. He was talking about football, number one, college football. UFC was in there, you know, baseball. Obviously, you got basketball, college basketball, golf, and then hockey.

0

174.213 - 194.639 Dan Bongino

I'm not sure that's accurate or not. It's an opinion. I'm just telling you, it obviously isn't the most popular sport in the United States. It's a great sport. I love it. I love the sheer brutality of it. But we still kicked ass and took names. Of course, no one was more excited than Cash, the FBI director who we interviewed last week.

194.659 - 213.064 Dan Bongino

Folks, by the way, on a serious note, for those of you who missed it and the liberal media who are melting down, listen, you can have your – I really don't give a shit what you think. I really – I think you can tell now after four weeks back on the air that in the giving Fs, we give zero about what you think. I never see you doing this when any other –

213.044 - 235.623 Dan Bongino

person, government official, whoever goes over to an event like this. And by the way, you may have missed the fact that, and this is probably something they won't tell you, but I will. We have the Olympics coming up out in LA. It's kind of a big deal. And the security plan, we are a really deep part of. So just maybe it's a good idea to go over there and get best practices and talk to folks.

235.643 - 254.642 Dan Bongino

I'm not telling you it was the only reason. There were other meetings as well. But, you know, the media melting down about him being invited into the locker room and chugging a brewski. Whatever, man. I don't really give a shit. You can care all you want. I just don't care. Doesn't matter to me one bit. Chug a beer all you want. The dude's a human being. He likes hockey.

254.662 - 280.881 Dan Bongino

He likes the United States. Get the fuck over it. Okay? Guy, I'm waiting for a line. He's waiting for a connection. He's like, and those who play hockey, Guy, correctly, they prefer to be very lean, right? Please don't even say, I see I had to do it for you. I had to do it for you. That was good though, right? You're going to play hockey and sports. It helps to be lean.

280.961 - 300.21 Dan Bongino

Folks, the only way to lose weight is not to inject yourself once a week. Nope, not anymore. Here's the reality. Weight loss injections work because they help control blood sugar and shut down appetite. So you eat less. That's the mechanism. There's really no mystery to it. I've got a solution for you if you're not into injections because I use it. I dropped some LBs. Folks, you know it.

Chapter 4: What security measures are in place at Mar-a-Lago?

2050.709 - 2068.686 Dan Bongino

They start responding in an even more hysterical manner. And I think Donald Trump has tones of racism in his speech. Then the next thing, when they don't get the response they want. Donald Trump's a hardcore racist. And then they don't get the response they want. Donald Trump doubles down. His voting percentage in the black community goes up. So then what do they do?

0

2068.926 - 2094.276 Dan Bongino

Donald Trump's a Ku Klux Klan member. Then next it's like, Donald Trump founded the Ku Klux Klan. Then it's like Donald Trump's eating babies with his Ku Klux Klan members. They show their ass a little more every time as a signal to their fellow liberals that they're in on this and they're not backing down either. If you don't understand show your ass theory, none of this will make sense.

0

2095.318 - 2114.015 Dan Bongino

Show your ass theory is everything. It is why this rage and escalation of hostilities against Donald Trump continues to levels we have never seen, and I don't think we'll see again in the future. He just doesn't respond to their bullshit the way they want, so there's no release valve.

0

2116.298 - 2136.983 Dan Bongino

The second problem that's leading to this unprecedented threat environment against this president, unprecedented, there is no precedent for this. Number of assassination attempts against this man, his family, and everything else. Probably stuff you don't even hear about. I'm not giving you any inside baseball. I'm not into secret service. I guarantee you the family catches it too.

0

2138.887 - 2158.667 Dan Bongino

The second part of this is combine the no-release valve with them escalating the rhetoric, because Donald Trump doesn't respond to their prior rhetoric, so they make it crazier and crazier. And you have this democratized information environment where people can kind of find, I call them like silos of crazy.

2158.985 - 2178.006 Dan Bongino

They'll follow lists on X of people who think like them, and they'll never have their priors challenged. Donald Trump eats babies. If you were to say that in a normal group of people where I live in South Florida, people would be like, are you fucking crazy, bro? Where did you hear that?

2177.986 - 2199.218 Dan Bongino

Yet when you go and follow your list of lunatics, I'm not going to single out X, but TikTok, Snapchat, elsewhere, and you find these silos of crazy, they're like, not as the eat babies, he puts salt on them first and tortures them first. And then he slowly boils them and kills them. And you're like, what do I got to do? I got to go to Mar-a-Lago and get them.

2200.582 - 2227.551 Dan Bongino

Combine silos of crazy with constant ass showing, the escalation of rhetoric, and Donald Trump not backing down, and then add in the doomers who tell you everything sucks all the time, and why does it surprise you that a bunch of lunatics want to kill this guy? Folks, bookmark this show because what I'm telling you is true. This is going to happen again.

2229.387 - 2254.534 Dan Bongino

Pray to God, capital G. Whatever God you pray to, pray to Jesus Christ. This does not happen again, but it is going to. They cannot stop. There will be five minutes of, maybe we should tone down the rhetoric, and there'll be now 10 more weeks of Hitler, fascist, Nazi, Trump. Guaranteed. I'm going to show you what I mean in a second about these silos of crazy.

Chapter 5: How does the episode address the political climate surrounding Trump?

5799.471 - 5816.506 Dan Bongino

I get it. Some of them are rhinos. Some of them are weak. Some of them are just plain Democrats in rhino clothing and in Republican clothing. I get it. Now you have a level decision, a level 10 decision to make yourself. I'm putting in your lap. The shitty decision is to vote for a rhino.

0

5816.526 - 5840.255 Dan Bongino

The shittier decision is to vote for a Democrat like this Justin Pearson or these other toolboxes who are going to take away every single thing. that has happened this year, impeach this president, open the border, unleash the criminals, defund the police, print more money, mass inflation, shitty GDP. I mean, leaving our foreign enemies to laugh at us as we castrate our freaking military.

0

5840.535 - 5871.63 Dan Bongino

They're going to try to impeach Hegseth, Kristi Noem, everyone else. Those are your options. The shitty call or the shittier one. I wish it weren't so. But the good news, the good news is there are a lot of good reps out there doing really good things. That's why you have this just litany of successes that this first term and this first year produced.

0

5873.792 - 5899.629 Dan Bongino

Border, inflation, crime numbers, mortgage rates, stock market, GDP, homicide rates, all of it. All of it. That was a lot for one day. Folks, I love you all. I appreciate all your support, despite the endless bot artificial bullshit, people trying to shut us up. Never, ever going to happen, ever. I think you know that.
