I just saw someone in the chat say you're from Glendale. I thought, wow, that's amazing, another Glendale. I'm from Glendale, Queens, not Glendale, California. However, welcome to the show anyway. You know, right before I got in the air this morning, a friend of mine reached out to me. And listen, if you're an activist in the space, thank you guys, I appreciate it in the chat, we're good.
If you're an activist in the space and you're going to go out and give a speech about politics, one of my friends was at a speech this morning. I'm not going to say who because it doesn't really matter. However, this person said to me, hey, man, they're not there. This speaker is not doing the three B's. Here is my best advice to you if you're going to do any public speaking. Remember the three B's. Be brief, be good and be gone. I know it sounds crazy, but even the best speeches in the world can go on too long. Be brief, be good and be gone. The best thing that can happen is that someone can walk out of the room and go, gosh, I wish I had more. The worst thing that can happen is that somebody walks out of the room and says that thing went on too long. Worst thing you can't, that's the worst thing possible because then they're going to tell when I first got into business, I think it was Mark Levin. I'm pretty sure Mark Levin told me this. Make sure you treat everybody good because everybody you treat bad tells 200 people what a jerk you are. They're going to tell 200 people what a terrible speech it was. Remember the three B's. I told you we had a big announcement about radio today. Bongino Report PM, we launched nationwide 3 PM to 6 PM. By the way, we will get you a station finder. We're just signing a ton of contracts right now. It just launched. Just give us a few days. I saw a lot of people in the chat. Where can we find it? Where can I listen locally? We're going to get that to you. No sweat. Just give us some time. We just don't want to update it every single day, so we're going to give it a little bit of time. However, if there was a Bongino Report PM, why do you think we called it PM?
Because there's also going to be a Bongino Report AM. AM? PM?
We're launching nationwide on a lot of stations. This is why we're waiting on the station finder a lot, from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. Dan, that's early in the morning. Well, listen, we want you to get the Bongino Report fixed in the morning and the Ron Bongino Report fixed in the afternoon. 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. So if you're in your car headed to work in the morning early, you're gonna be able to get on hundreds of stations nationwide, The Dan Bongino Show in the morning as well. You'll hear some of the podcasts, some of the other content we put out there. It's gonna be amazing. The show is expanding. I know I really appreciate your support. It wouldn't be possible without you. Thank you to everyone out there in the Bongino Army. You guys are really great. I appreciate it. Let me get to this, and here's what I'm gonna get to right in the beginning of the show.
I warned the Democrats. I was not trying to help them. I was trying to help the country. I warned the Democrats that creating a refuge for a bunch of Islamo-Nazis and a bunch of commie-socialists, that that was gonna create a problem if you waited too long because once the concrete dries, it's hard to pull these things out.
Now the Democrat crash out is happening.
Should have taken my advice. I'm not trying to help the Democrats. I'm trying to help the country. They didn't listen.
I'm gonna get to this and then, Dolly Parton, we lost Dolly Parton yesterday. I came out of no, I did not expect that. What a terrible loss for the country. What a genuinely great human being. Hey, let me tell you something. When you sign your insurance policy for some brokers, that's the finish line. Handshake, commission, then you're done. Then you may not hear from them again until it's time for renewal. Your business runs all year and so do the gaps and the risks. That's why I'm introducing Supersure. If your company is more than 25 employees, whether you're the owner, CFO or HR manager, it would be too complex to just buy a policy online. Supersure is the super agency built for you, licensed in every state for your business insurance and employee benefits, all with year-round support for you and your team. At supersure.com, you can access tools like Find Print Facts, which translates your current policy into plain English so you can see what's covered and what's not, plus a business value calculator so you can estimate what your business is worth and what needs protecting.
