You know, someone in the chat just said, Dan, we're having withdrawals from, withdraw rolls, withdrawal, gosh, I just spit that one out. I promise I've not been drinking this morning from your weekend updates. Speaking, I'm very sorry, I just, here's the issue.
I gave you a weekend update last week because I was down in Auburn at the game. Auburn won this week, so WDE, War Damn Eagle against Vandy, you know, wasn't the prettiest of wins, but finally got a win at Jordan Haregood and against an SEC opponent. University of Florida is kicking ass and taking names, so that loss last week all of a sudden don't look so bad. Well, I couldn't believe that they just destroyed Ole Miss. I got a family member who goes there, I didn't see that coming. But sometimes I don't do a weekend update because, and this is not a humble brag, that's why I hesitate to even say it. It is not. Andrew's like, yeah, right. No, it isn't.
Some weekends, because we launched the AM radio show and the PM radio show, I'm doing a lot of show prep and content, and I just don't do anything we're talking about. So I don't want to bore you with like, hey, we're out this weekend to the local rest. I had a steak. It was a, it reminds me that a member old school. Yeah, it's a nice little Saturday. We're going to go to Best Buy and pick up. No, I can't do that. I can't torture you with stupid life details. I told you the show is not about me. Is that once in a while, if I got a laugh, I'll make it about me. But if something stupid happens, I'll definitely tell you because I like those moments too. Like the idiot who ran down the stairs to yell at me at Auburn, almost fell on his face and killed him.
Still can't get over this crazy story.
By the way, the great Vince Colonese was not on the air this morning. Many of you asked why in the chat in case you missed it. Vince is interviewing Vice President JD. Vance. It is going to launch tomorrow at 8 a.m. This is from Vince's Twitter feed at Vince Colonese. No podcast. Monday we'll be at the White House for an exclusive interview with Vice President Vance. Really looking forward to that. We'll be cutting it as well. We'll be totally fleecing Vince's content to use on our own show. Correct, fellas? We'll be doing that. So you can see that tomorrow, Tuesday, 8 a.m. Eastern Time on Rumble video. Make sure you subscribe to Bongino Report on Rumble. So that's where Vince is. I appreciate you guys asking. Be kind of weird if he was gone and nobody noticed. There's a ton of people in the chat like, where's Vince? He's okay. He's interviewing the VP and obviously we've got to work around his schedule. I've got a couple big interviews coming up this week as well. I'm very excited about including the current FBI Deputy Director who's going to give a rundown of some of the latest numbers and trends and the reforms that are going. So don't miss that. All right. Lot to talk to today, including at the beginning of the show, as I titled today's show.
Folks, what if everything you've been told about these midterm elections is wrong? I've given you both sides. Don't say I haven't. Some people were mad at me. I don't care. I'm going to, I'm not, that's not my, I'm not here to make people happy. I'm here to tell you the truth.
I put out a couple of segments last week about some doom and gloom stuff. People are like, oh, we're going to get destroyed. Is that going to be a single Republican left? Some people are mad. I don't, I'm sorry. I'm just going to, I'm going to tell you the truth. I'm going to give you the other side of that today though, that maybe everything you've been told is all wrong.
Even Axios doesn't even like President Trump at all. Is putting out the, I don't know. I'll show you what I mean. Hey, winter storms have a way of exposing how quickly normal life can stop. The power goes out, the furnace stops, you're freezing out there, roads become dangerous, stores get picked clean.
Once the storm is already on top of you, your options shrink pretty fast, it's too late. My Patriot Supply told me they saw this firsthand last winter. When major storms threatened, their Vesta indoor heater and stove became one of the hottest preparedness items of the season. It sold out again and again as people rushed to prepare at the last minute. That's exactly why My Patriot Supply created the Winter Prep Bundle. You need this to get ahead of the storms this time. Don't wait till after the emergency. So what happened with this nor'easter? It includes 114 servings of emergency food with real meals you can count on, the Vesta heater and stove that's safe to use indoors, backup power with solar charging, emergency lighting and thermal blankets. Got to get it. In other words, food, heat, power and light already in your home before you need them. When you go to preparewithdan.com, you can save almost $300 on the complete bundle. So don't wait till the forecast sends everyone scrambling again. Go to preparewithdan.com, get your winter prep bundle while it's still available. Thanks My Patriot Supply. Today's show also brought to you by one of our original sponsors, Brickhouse Nutrition. These weight loss injections are everywhere. You see them all over the place. But here's the catch. About 15% of users quit because of the cost. Another 15% stop because of side effects. A while back, I had to lose some weight after that health crisis I went through. I told you I got a little heavy there. It was not great. I had to lose about 30 pounds. I said, Miles, I called them from Brickhouse Nutrition. I was interested in shots or anything like that. I said, I want something that's going to work. And he said, I got some for you. It's called Lean.
