Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for The Dan Bongino Show. That's like a little secret between Guy and I. Guy loves to do this. I was doing a radio interview. I'm not going to say which radio station. When I first took over the Limbaugh hours after we lost Rush way too soon, I was doing an interview on a radio station that was going to pick us up.
And they're getting ready to intro me. And the lady's like, hey, don't be nervous. And I kind of laughed. I was like, oh, OK, thanks. Have you ever seen me nervous? And I told Guy, he breaks that up all the time. He pops out of this door right over here to my right every time. Hey, don't be nervous. It's like a little joke between me and Guy. Don't be nervous. Do I look like the nervous type?
We have a very special guest for you today on the show coming up in a little over an hour, Ed Galrein running in Kentucky District 4 against Tom Massey. So I've got a little bit on that today, too, because, you know, listen, folks, I want you to run a little test, okay, to show you, like, who has an authentic following and who's all bullshit and bots, okay? I'm talking about nationally, okay?
Do this little test. Go on your X feed and just – I just watch, post like, I love Tom Massey. And then later on, give it a little time, go post Tom Massey's a fraud or whatever. Watch what happens. You just test that out. And you tell me who's got a bot army and who doesn't, which is weird because they just did another podcast ranker that just came out.
Remember PodTrack came out a couple of weeks ago and had us at number nine in the country podcast wise. I'm just telling you because other people out there, oh my gosh, he doesn't really, no one's listening. Nobody's listening. I'm not really sure you can read data. They were like, well, that pod track is all fake. Well, then Triton came out yesterday, top podcast by weekly downloads.
You see for the month of February to March. And we were number three. So we were, I'm not saying, I'm just saying. Somebody's got an audience globally and somebody doesn't. I'm really sorry that hurt. I know you're crying. You're peeing in your diapers. I get it. You got the bot army. We hate the Jews. I get it. I understand. I understand. I know that bothers you. But there's nothing you can do.
How does that make you feel, you zeros? There's nothing you can do. You just have to sit back and realize that you're losers.

Chapter 2: Who is Rep. Thomas Massie and why is he being called a fraud?
How does that feel? How does that feel? You absolute life losers. That we have a real army of supporters because this show is the real deal. And you've got a bunch of clown bots. Do my little test. You'll see what I mean. But seriously, thank you. Number three on Triton. I'm sure the people who hate the show will have some other reason why.
Chapter 3: What test does Dan Bongino suggest to identify authentic political followings?
Nobody's listening or whatever. Okay, sure, whatever. All right, I got a lot to get to today, including I'm going to open up the show. The Daily Mail is doubling down. And what I would argue is one of the best Trump soundbites I've seen. And there's a lot of them in a really long time. And it proves my point that this is asymmetric information warfare.
The media people questioning Donald Trump don't know what Donald Trump knows. So when Donald Trump calls him out on it, you got to watch Jeff Mason, this reporter. He doesn't know what to do. He's like, oh, yeah, OK, I guess I got to concede that point. This is a great clip. Got that coming up in a second.
Chapter 4: How does the FBI link the Michigan synagogue attack to Hezbollah?
I'll get right to it. Hey, this last year, your eyes may have been open to a lot of things, but there was one thing that many found particularly disturbing. That's a lot of the stuff going on in the party. It's infighting. We all agree on a lot of stuff, folks. Freedom of speech, the right to life, the Second Amendment. And we support our military and first responders.
Well, there's one company that's been fighting for our rights. They supported this program from the very beginning, and that's Patriot Mobile. Unlike other mobile providers, Patriot Mobile works on all three major networks. I use it. In fact, you can be on multiple networks on the same phone. More importantly, their customers enjoy priority service with the same or better quality.
I'd argue better quality in a lot of areas as they're all providers. Patriot Mobile's 100% US-based customer service team makes switching fast and easy. Keep your number, keep your phone, or upgrade. It's really easy. They saved me on a trip to the northern part of Florida, excuse me, southern part of Florida recently. I couldn't get some access. I used Patriot Mobile, no problem at all.
Go to patriotmobile.com slash Dan and get a free month of service with the offer code Dan, my first name. Patriot Mobile's been fighting for us and the things we believe in for well over a decade. They've been a great sponsor. Let's thank them by making the switch today. Check them out. Patriotmobile.com slash Dan. That's patriotmobile.com slash Dan. All right, fellas, let's go.
I want to start with a banger today. If Trump had the greatest hits, this is easily a top 10 for me, and that's a lot. He's been doing this for a long time between his business life and his political life. Here he is yesterday. He's asked a question by Jeff Mason. And I kept it playing a little bit at the end because another reporter chimes in and he wrecks her too.
Jeff Mason's like, hey, the Iranians are, you know, threatening us with all this stuff. And it just sounds really terrible. I mean, again, this is the doomers, the doomers in the media. And Trump's like threatening us with what? Because he knows exactly what's going on behind the scenes. Watch this clip. It's fantastic. Check this out. Iranian government threatened a bunch of U.S.
companies today in the region, including Google, Apple. With what? What did they threaten them with? PP guns? They don't have much left to threaten. My question for you is, are you... I don't know. I mean, what are they... You made a statement. What did they threaten them with? I don't know. Tell me, how did they threaten them? Well, all I know is that they threatened them, sir.
What does that mean? Fair enough. He said something nasty? Absolutely. Is the government in touch with these companies? Are you helping to backstop them? You don't even know what the threat was. What was the threat? I haven't heard it. What was the threat? Did they say they're going to blow them up? They're going to hit them? You know what they're not going to do?
They're not going to hit them with a nuclear weapon.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the recent Supreme Court rulings on birthright citizenship?
He doesn't even wait for people to stand up. They're all sitting down, and he walks in late, so like everyone can see him. That's fake news. That is not fake news. Even Father Marty noticed. I saw him. I saw him look at you. You got called out. It happened. All right, put up that tweet with the sadness. Let's get back to this.
I want to make the point here, too, that this big government model will always fail. Create a contrast, dump the filibuster, let the American people see the contrast between big government liberal Bernie Sanders bullshit and small limited government Tea Party constitutional conservative, and I promise you they'll make the right choice. DeSantis put this tweet up about bureaucracies run amok.
I've tried to make this point over and over again. And in this tweet thread, you'll see it from Governor DeSantis down here in Florida. Do any of you find it odd at all to the liberals in the audience listening? Do any of you find it odd at all that the two spaces liberals constantly complain about, costs getting out of control, Are both spaces largely controlled by the U.S. government?
Does that bother you at all? Healthcare and education. The government has a massive footprint, correct? They don't have a massive footprint in TV monitors like we have up here. Maybe some regulation, but it's not a huge footprint. Healthcare, between Medicare, Medicaid, public schools, state school funding, the government has an enormous footprint.
So why is it, if you look at this chart, that those are the two areas that costs are out of control? It's precisely because the government's the third-party payer. They're not the student. They're not the school.

Chapter 6: How does the current military strategy in Iran affect global politics?
The government winds up paying. So the student doesn't care about the price, and the school doesn't care about charging you more either because they know you're not paying. Put up that chart. When I was running for office in Maryland, I'll never forget. I met with this guy. I forget his name.
It was a public meeting, but it was in Prince George's County, which is a really very significant, wealthy black county in Maryland. And I went down there and I was really interested in knocking on doors to see how black voters in Maryland felt about Republican candidates. See if we had a shot. We obviously didn't perform traditionally well there in Maryland.
But I meet with this guy and he pointed out what's in this chart is absolutely true. He said, Dan, the reason liberals will never give up funding public schools is not because it has anything to do with education. He said to me, I'll never forget it. He said, Dan, it's a jobs program. Public schools are a jobs program. Look at this.
The growth in bureaucracy and administrative staff far exceeding money dedicated to students and education. It's a jobs program. So is the healthcare space for the government. I'm glad Governor DeSantis pointed this out. This is a huge scam.
The liberal argument that government's the most efficient way to do business falls apart on its face when you point out that the biggest business they're in, health care and education, you freaking liberals are complaining all the time about it, how costs are out of control. As you finance an explosion in a government jobs program disguised as education and health care.
It's a scam and you know it. It's always been a scam. Ask your liberal friends that. If government is so good at controlling costs and quality, how come where the government has the biggest footprint, healthcare and education, you're constantly bitching about cost and quality? I'm just asking questions.

Chapter 7: What are the criticisms of the Biden administration's approach to NATO?
That's what we're doing now. We're told to ask questions, right guys? We're just asking questions, correct? All right, I got to get this. I got Edgal Ryan coming up in just a little bit. Kentucky District 4 candidate in the Republican primary. The birthright citizenship case is being heard before the Supreme Court right now. Ladies and gentlemen, this is an enormous case.
The goal of this show from the beginning has always been to give you digestible nuggets. You all work for a living. You don't have time to be reading 30-page white papers and legal briefs. You're busy taking care of your kids and building this country. And thank you for doing it. The purpose of this show is to sum up issues quickly so you know the takeaway.
The birthright citizenship debate, and it is a debate. Don't listen to the liberals who tell you this was settled in the courts. It was not. That is bullshit. If it was settled in the courts, why is it in the Supreme Court right now? Uh... We have a very serious problem with this anchor baby problem.
You have people entering the country illegally, not here legally, illegally, having children who get US citizenship. It is not only an issue for a magnet that creates an open border problem, because it draws people here, because then they're entitled to the full portfolio of citizenship benefits. It is also a national security issue as well, the second part.
Because foreign enemies of the United States know this. They can fly people in, have a child here, and all of a sudden, people who are not our friends have a citizen in their family. This is common sense. Liberals want to tell you, oh, this has already been litigated. You're born here, you're automatically a citizen. Well, that is the case now, but this has not fully been litigated.
Wall Street Journal has a great piece about this. There is one line that this all comes down to. This is Randy Barnett, Trump is right on birthright citizenship. They note that the clause grants citizenship to persons who meet two conditions. Birth in the US and being subject to the jurisdiction of the US. The dispute is over the meaning of the latter term. Talking about the 14th Amendment.
Subject to the jurisdiction thereof, folks, has never been fully litigated. This is not an overly wonky topic. There are two potential meanings to this in the legal space. Do they mean people born here who are subject to the political jurisdiction of the United States? Or is it simply a matter of territorial jurisdiction?
Very simply stated, if you are an illegal invader from another country, here illegally, and have children, all that matters is territorial jurisdiction? In other words, you're born to U.S. soil, no questions asked. That's the leftist argument, territorial jurisdiction. You understand? Trump's argument is that's bullshit. That's not what it means.
It meant subject to the political jurisdiction thereof. And those people are not subject to the political jurisdiction of the United States. They are citizens of another country. Donald Trump is right on this issue. And folks, I don't know what's going to happen in the Supreme Court in the case. I'm not the Stygian Witches. Give me the eye. I have no idea what's going to happen.

Chapter 8: What is Ed Galron's stance on Second Amendment rights?
That's helixsleep.com slash Dan. I'm really happy to welcome to the show today a congressional candidate. He's got a lot of excitement behind his campaign nationwide. Ed Gowrine, running for Kentucky, running for District 4 in Kentucky. Ed, welcome to the show. It's really great to have you. Good morning, Agent Bongino. Good morning to the viewers. Thanks for having me on.
It takes, you know, listen, it takes a lot of guts to run. So, you know, win or lose, I congratulate you putting your name on a ballot in such a public manner. You know, good for you. That's the process. As you know, motto of the 2-2 SAS, who dares wins. You got to take a chance.
I mean, sitting in the side of the ring throwing popcorn at the two boxers is, you know, the kind of the cheap seat stuff. And I don't like that. Get in the action or not. So, Ed, you're running for the seat. It's garnered national attention. You're running against Tom Massey, a multi-term congressman in a Republican primary. You know, why are you running?
Tell us who you are, your experience and why the voters should pick you. Well, thank you for the question. It's really pretty simple. The president asked me to meet with him on 17 October, and he basically made a challenge to me to serve my nation again.
When I signed up in 1983, when President Reagan was rebuilding our nation after the failed presidency of Jimmy Carter, these were the words in my head. Faith, family, freedom, duty, honor, country. And Dan, I took a look at what's going on around the world and I evaluated what is the way I could have the most impact for our nation's national security. And it was to be a Navy SEAL officer.
There were no books or movies. There was no goings to join me. I entered via Officer Candidate School into the leadership program, and I served at seven SEAL teams and units, including twice the SEAL Team 6, for a career spanning three decades. Now, to turn the page, when the president met with me on 17 October, Dan, he had my record, TSSCI, and you understand that language.
He knew where I'd been. He knew what I'd done. He knew my commitment. He knew my commitment to faith, family, freedom and duty, honor, country. He asked me to go home, think about it, pray about it, talk to my family. And he said he was going to endorse me in life and whatever I did. And I declared four days later on the 21st of October to be a champion for my party, my nation and my district.
Thank you for the question, Dan. Yeah, listen, I want the voters to know who you are, not just what you stand for. And speaking of what you stand for, you know, Republicans generally agree on the Big Ten issues, taxes, health care, school choice. We get it. So I've got 20 minutes with you.
I'm going to get to the issues that typically people vote on in a Republican primary can kind of be a red line between candidate A or candidate B. How do you feel? I know you're a strong Second Amendment supporter. I've seen your campaign material. But how do you feel about constitutional carry? It's a big issue down here in Florida.
