All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for The Dan Bongino Show.

Friends out there, and I say friends because I really do consider you all friends. I feel like I know many of you from the chat, from studio events we've done, from election night, from just phone conversations I've had with the McGroin crew and others. People I know personally from the show, who've been here for years, the Linn and Jeffs of the chat, POPs, all of you.

I can't say it enough. I don't get it sometimes.

I don't get how this two-year body of work that's been put together. I'm talking about results. Divorce yourself from the emotions. I don't care if you love Trump, hate Trump, love me, hate me, whatever. I just don't understand how you know your country's on the line if you're one of those on-the-fence voters and you could possibly consider the alternative to what we have right now. I got Sarah Carter, our drug czar, coming up later in a great interview. Parents, by the way, you got to watch it. She talks about this new drug on the market that they had not. It's a rhino tranquilizer that they're finding in hospitals. We can't go back to that. It's just that's the only reason I'm bringing this up at the beginning of the show. I can not go back to open borders, fentanyl deaths exploding, rhino tranquilizers going basically unwatched, crime rates going back up again, defund the police, defund ICE, defund DHS, 9% inflation under Biden, 5% average inflation, massive government red tape, assaults on the Second Amendment, partial birth abortion, post birth abortion, also known as homicide. I can't go back to that. I can't. Your country is on the line in this midterm election. Go and take it. Go take it. It's yours. There is a very simple solution for us to maintain all of this forward progress we have.

Just go vote and take it. It's right there.

Millions more people vote in a presidential election for President Trump than vote in a midterm. Why? Because they just don't show up. Those people are there. Go get them. Bring 10 people with you. I've been saying this for years. And not just me, but someone else you remember as well. I want to play something for you. The show had a different title initially, but I was afraid people wouldn't get it. So I had changed it because this interview at the end just kind of highlights the opposite. It's how unserious the other party is, the Democrats. But this part, this show had a different title in the beginning. It was about a moment that, there are very few moments in your life can we acknowledge that you're completely changed and transformed. I don't know what you want to call it, the spirit realm or whatever it is. There are very few moments where you feel like you've left your body and you're in a special place. One of them happened for me. I got a big show for you today, so please stay tuned. Your country is there. Go take it. Just take it. It's yours. Folks, the midterms are here. The stakes are high.
