You know, I know I see it a lot, but I don't think I see it often enough. You all in the chat in the Bongino Army out there, you always exceed my expectations. Haggis and Whiskey in the chat, I don't know, 30 seconds ago, you can scroll back in your chat if you want to look yourself, you're live with us. Whatever happened in National Man Day? Holy Moses, like, I didn't even remember that. And it's my show. It's the show's eponymously named. It's called The Dan Bongino Show, because I'm Dan Bongino. And I didn't even remember that. That's incredible. Do you even remember that? I, that was the tank top show we made up. It was a joke about National Man Day. How in Hades did you remember that? You guys and ladies are the best. Look at the Dan Bongino sign. There you go. It's green. Looks like, again, it's vomiting. And the Exorcist, Reagan. Remember that? Scariest movie I ever saw. The logo, yeah, logo to remember. There's like a director's cut that's even worse. Folks, if you're looking for bad news, today's not that show. There is some bad news we cover. Told you last week there was Mr. Apocalypse, the AI is going to kill us all. We covered it. We covered it. We did our job, right? That's our job, to get you good news, bad news, and kind of find out what is good, what's bad, and where there's a happy middle ground. Yesterday was such an incredible litany of incredible W's for the Trump administration. Objectively good W's. I'm not talking about like his hair look good or anything like that. I'm talking about numbers and facts that I can't repeat this enough. I don't understand why Republican voter enthusiasm is not through the roof right now. I don't understand. I'm going to start off and I'll show you today what can... Real numbers, not my opinion. They're not my opinion. They're just facts. I don't understand the Republicans like, we don't have a message to our own. No, you don't have a message to our own. Do your freaking homework.

You'll see what I mean coming up in a second. I mean, bangers yesterday. And I'm not talking about little things either. Like we cut the federal regulations on water pipe diameter. No, that's not what happened.

We have an unbelievable message. I'm going to help out the Republicans running for office. Pay attention. Take notes. Got a notebook in front of me. Hey, does your pharmacy do this?

Hey, also today's show brought to you by Sundays for Dogs. I have the pickiest dog on planet Earth, Lucy. She's a golden doodle. Do any of you have a golden doodle? She won't eat anything. It's been a huge problem. The dog won't touch anything. However, that's why when Sundays for Dogs said, hey, we think we can fix your problem with your dog, they did. More good news. We are what we eat. So are our doggies. A long, healthy, active life starts with clean, real food nutrition every day. That's one reason I'm a huge fan of Sundays for Dogs. It doesn't matter what I think, it matters what Lucy thinks. Sundays for Dogs is different. It's human-grade food made with real ingredients. You'd feel good about feeding your family. Your dog's part of your family. Their recipes contain 80% or more of all-natural meat, along with nutrient-rich ingredients like kale, ginger and blueberries. Everything is gently air-dried with no filters, no synthetic additives and no unnecessary chemicals, just simple, complete nutrition. There's no fridge, no freezer, no prep and no mess. Just scoop and serve. It gives you the quality of home-cooked meals with the convenience of kibble. And my dog gets genuinely excited at mealtime now. Lucy loves it. I feed it to her as a treat sometimes. I take it out of the bag by hand once in a while. The moment I grab the bag, the tail starts wagging. You know the look. Make the switch to Sundays for Dogs.
