Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.
Folks, I hope you understand we're starting early today for a reason. Just a tragic situation last night. Everybody's worst fear. I have a fear of flying and have for a long time because of the lack of control. I mean, you're obviously not on a steering wheel handling a stick shift, a gas pedal, or a brake. Your life is in someone else's hands. Well, I've had this fear of flying for a long time.
Just an unimaginable situation. And, you know, I try to use my words carefully. because in times of tragedy, I think it's important to, when I say unimaginable, I mean it. I've flown in and out of Reagan, as many of you have. I mean, I think Michael just flew out of there a couple of weeks ago. I don't know, three, 400 times. I mean, it was our home airport and we were all agents in DC.
It's how we got pretty much everywhere. It was either that or Dulles. And I never imagined the situation where there would be a midair with a helicopter, right? It's a sensitive topic for me, obviously, because of the tragic nature of it, but also because I've been involved in a number of helicopter flights in that exact same area.
So I've seen both ends of it, the planes taking off and landing, having flown out of there, and I've flown up the Potomac many times in these helos, in these birds, and It never even occurred to me that this would happen. So here's how we're going to handle this. Number one, obviously we're going to do it responsibly. I got to tell you something right now.
I love you all the P ones and the listeners out there in the Bongino army, you guys and ladies are the best in the business. And you know why? Because you never get ahead of yourselves. I'm on X this morning and Michael and I were chatting about it before. I mean a total show and it rhymes with fit. What a mess. People are ready with a thousand different theories.
Why do we need to draw a conclusion? I don't understand why we need to do this. Not you, not you. I want to be absolutely clear, not you. I don't understand why we're not even 24 hours out and everyone has the need to jump on clicks on X to say, I definitely know what you, I promise you don't know what happened. I promise. It is okay to say that. It is also okay to ask questions.
I have five open questions I want to get to. We'll play the footage we have. And the reason we're starting early is Donald Trump is going to speak, President Trump, excuse me, at 11 o'clock. And I want to take some of it live. We'll do our best to take as much of it as we can. So we got you all covered today. Stand by. Folks, increase tariffs on our trade partners, tax cuts and regulation changes.
