Plus, good news for the economy and an epic speech by border czar Tom Homan.

Chapter 1: Who is Dan Bongino and what is this podcast about?
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.
Chapter 2: What is the significance of Dan Bongino's second to last episode?
Yeah, you're damn right. This is our second to last show every single day. You know, I was talking to a couple of guys this morning and I had an analogy to what this feels like. Are you interested? Folks in the chat, because you guys come first. You want to know what this feels like to me? I'll tell you, quick. Taste podcast sponsored by Beam. Go to shopbeam.com slash Bongino.
Use code Bongino for 47% of your first order. Someone asked me this morning, they said, brother, how does it feel? And I said, Michael, I need your take on this one because Michael's like a very kind of sober analyst. He's a math guy. So I want to make sure this doesn't sound goofy. It feels like going to a funeral for someone who's 107. Like the people who are getting Social Security?
Like some of the people getting, that would be 157, but that's actually very funny. Unfortunately, it's costing us a ton of money, but it does. It's like, you're sad you lost this amazing person, but at the same time, you're like, 107? Theresa, am I right? You're like, you won. The game of life, you have successfully won. If you made it 107 years, give us a thumbs up.
You see Teresa in the studio today, the lovely Teresa from Westwood One, the Grand Dame of Westwood One. We call her the Bongino Levin Whisperer. She's very good at that kind of stuff. You won at life. So the funeral is kind of sad, but at the same time it isn't. That's how I feel. I feel like you and I built this thing together.
The P1s who've been here for 10 years, who listened to my first show, there's no question we built this thing together. So I feel so happy about and honored to have been part of this. But yeah, man, I'm still losing something. So I don't know. Sometimes my analogies suck. Sometimes they don't. But that's real, man. That's how I feel about it. Man, we got a big show for you today.
Second to last show. Tomorrow will be the finale. I don't know. I'm just going to let you guys know right now. Producer Jim is here in the room. Teresa's here. Colin's coming from Westwood One, like the big boss. I was like, what? Am I getting fired or something like that? What's going on? I'm like, oh, you can't. You're leaving on Monday. Like, what just happened?
So I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. I'm not messing with you. I do not know what is happening tomorrow. There's a rumor there will be people in the studio. You're going to have to tune in. I'm not teasing it unnecessarily, okay? Guy, I know what he's saying right now. Do you need something from all family? That's what he's saying, right? I get it. I get it.
As you know, it's our second to last episode. So before I... Head off into the sunset here. Don't worry. We're going out with a bang here. One of our sponsors, All Family Pharmacy, want to do something big for you, our listeners. It's not just a sale. It's a thank you.

Chapter 3: What are the Senate Democrats planning regarding the government shutdown?
People are going to be pushed off cliffs into meat grinders, wood chippers, and everything else. If government shuts down, which it doesn't really shut down, it is the apocalypse. It is the instant apocalypse. Nothing will happen and life will come to a halt, which is weird because government shut down before and none of that stuff has actually happened.
But the Democrats have told us, you shut down government, the time will stop. So here is prominent Republican conservative senator. He tells me this guy has now officially changed parties. I didn't get the news flash, did you? Prominent conservative Palestinian, too, which I was unaware of. Reiki? Chuck Schumer? Yeah, Palestinian as well. I did not know this. They have this on here.
But here is prominent. This guy's a House Freedom Caucus guy, kind of guy, just on the Senate side. Chuck Schumer telling us how the government shutdowns are now a good thing again, how we should shut government down. So I didn't know this guy converted. This is incredible. Baptism by fire. Check this out.
Funding the government should be a bipartisan effort. But Republicans chose a partisan path, drafting their continuing resolution without any input, any input, from congressional Democrats. Because of that, Republicans do not have the votes in the Senate to invoke cloture on the House CR.
Notice how he, obviously we're kidding, this is one of the most liberal Democrats in the Senate, but you almost have to, you don't have to like it, which I certainly don't, but you almost have to respect the grift going on here. How he says Republicans don't have the votes to stop cloture. What he's saying in a backwards, did you guys catch that when you listened to it?

Chapter 4: How does Chuck Schumer frame the government shutdown debate?
He doesn't wanna state the obvious, which is the Democrats are withholding the votes to pass the bill, so he's blaming it on Republicans. Did you guys get that? The Democrats have a magical, almost magical power, and I don't mean in a qualitatively good way, to use language in a way that makes you to believe the opposite of what's happening is actually happening. You see what he did there?
He could just state the obvious, we're not voting for this and the government's gonna shut down. He doesn't say that. Republicans have not successfully acquired enough of the spreadsheet type transactional vote numbers in order to invoke the, because he doesn't want to say the obvious, we're shutting the government down.
I thought we weren't shutting, I thought the government shut down was terrible. People are all gonna, you went through the whole litany of horribles. You ever hear the term parade of horribles? Everyone's gonna die if the government shuts down. So now the Democrats who told us we need government, You need government in every aspect of your life. Every aspect of your life.
You can't hit a baseball without government. Now all of a sudden the Democrats are the shut the government down party? Once you learn to dissect political euphemisms, you can never go back. How he handled that is why I played that clip. Notice the language he uses. He doesn't want to state the obvious. So what's the solution to that?
Chapter 5: Is there fraud in the Social Security system?
Folks, the solution to that is for you all to get out the message out there that it's not the Republicans who shut this thing down. Whether we agree with the spending levels or not, I don't. I've been fairly candid about that. But we didn't have the votes. We will through reconciliation.
They, the Democrats, are the ones not voting to keep the government open, therefore voting to shut it down by simple logic. Here's Chuck Schumer again. Again, misdirection is how they do everything. I want you to notice again how they use euphemisms and word games to try to play games with things that are actual facts. Three plus three equals six.
There's no way to word game your way out of that, okay? Here he is talking about Elon and Social Security fraud. So Elon Musk and the Doge found out before you hear this clip so you understand, that there's a lot of fraud in Social Security, but here's how it's working. There are people calling Social Security offices and changing, over the phone, routing numbers.
So if Gisei gets Social Security, Michael calls and says, hey, flip it over to my account. without Guy's authorization. Elon and his team found that this is a real problem and are fixing the phone system. Listen to the way Schumer characterizes this and says, oh, you know, we don't have evidence of all this fraud. Really? I'll show you the receipts coming up after that. Check this out.
Americans certainly support eliminating waste, but they don't want to see their Social Security benefits taken away over a lie perpetuated in hopes of just slashing them to give tax breaks for billionaires paid for by the middle class. As Musk lies shamelessly about Social Security, he conveniently ignores the federal government already conducts an audit of Social Security every single year.
He cherry picks data to suggest that tens of millions of dead people are getting checks. This is a lie, like so many of his other lies.
It's a lie, folks. It's a lie. He made it up. It's a lie. No fraud in Social Security. Except if you go back to this Office of Inspector General report from August 19, 2024, which says what? Yes, Justin, you're correct. He's like, I didn't say anything. I know. Which says there is, shockingly, fraud in Social Security. They found nearly $72 improperly paid.
That doesn't say $72, it says 72 billion dollars. That's a lot of money. Do me a favor, Justin. Look up the entire state budget of say North Dakota. Tell me what it is. So let me read this Inspector General report. Inspector General reports, this is by the way 2024, August of 2024. Nearly $72 billion is improperly paid. Recommended improvements go unimplemented.
Through several audits, Social Security Administration Inspector General made dozens of recommendations to prevent improper payments before they occur. also to correct existing improper payments. However, to date, many of those recommendations remain unimplemented, leading to continued improper payments. 72 billion, billion, this is not an Austin Powers moment.

Chapter 6: How is Donald Trump addressing federal deficits?
You want to get paid and get your paid into Social Security benefits, you should be the first one screaming about this. Folks, the Democrats used to pretend to care about waste, fraud, and abuse. How do we know this? Hat tip, the great Mays Moore. Mays, guys, are we going to miss Mays? Mays, can we get a little goodbye from you tomorrow? We love you, Mays Moore.
If you're not following Mays Moore on X, you're making a huge mistake. At M-A-Z-E-M-O-O-R-E. Can you pull him up on the screen, by the way? I know you can share your screen. This account, folks, we love hat tips here because we are not the only people in the space. There are amazing creators who deserve the best. And I'm going to tell you something. Guys, is there some, anyone we've used more?
There you go. MazeMore on X. There's the account. Make sure everybody goes and follows them. I don't care if you tell them we sent you or not. Doesn't matter to me. All that matters is you follow that account. Great video content. Fantastic montages. Who else? We got Western Lensmans. Fantastic. I hate to leave anybody out. There's so many. You've got...
Gunther Eagleman, we love our buddy Chicago Ray, Insurrection Barbie. There are just so many. Who? Oh, of course, Cat Turd. I mean, Cat Turd's like the guy we love. There we go. Just fantastic accounts to follow. The Grabian, we love Grabian, Tom Elliott from Grabian. So if you're putting together a show, shout-outs are important.
Here is Maize Moore with a great montage of how the Democrats, prominent Democrats, used to claim at least that they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse until we actually found it. Check this out.
We cannot keep our promises on Medicare. We simply must. make the cuts in waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare so that the benefits and the premiums are untouched.
There is an enormous amount of waste and fraud and abuse in this government. When there is waste and fraud, You have an administration who should also be on top of that situation.
If we're going to eliminate the waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare, it does mean we're going to cut some of that out. And when I hear my friend Dave Camp say, you cannot cut money out of Medicare, you can't just get up there and say, we don't want to cut anything out of Medicare. We want to cut the bad stuff and keep the good stuff.
This is such a loser argument for them, the Democrats, I mean, precision matters, to go to the wall to shut the government down. It's an absolute loser argument for them. Donald Trump has them so discombobulated, another word I hate, but I'll use it here, that they're arguing against now bedrock Democrat collectivist principles. Like, we need the government. What do we do without the government?
