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

You know, we have a lot of kind of inside jokes on the show, but given that you're part of my extended family, and I genuinely feel that way, you know, with the live chat, which is a relatively new technology. I mean, 30, 40 years ago, on radio to join the show, you had to call a call screener, you had to get through. It was probably a one in 10,000 chance you'd get to talk to the host. That's not the case now, with the live chat between like Lynn and Jeff and B-Ray this morning, and the McGroin crew. I feel like I know you all already. So I don't like keeping jokes inside. So I'm sitting here, you know, and get ready to go live in the show. And obviously I'm sitting at the desk and Guy walks back in, because it's definitely not the sunshine state today. It's raining, everybody's like looking at the weather. Let's hope there's not like a explosion or power outage this morning. The weather's crazy bad and Guy's like, don't be nervous. And he may say, well, what's so funny about that? It's not funny. It's an inside joke. When I first went back on radio when we tragically lost Rush Limbaugh, and I took over on some stations in that slot, a local radio host at a station we were launching on, they call, and it's like two minutes before this interview on the radio station about this big launch, and the lady's like, hey, don't be nervous. I'm like, uh, okay, thanks. I've only been doing this for a decade, but I'll try. I'll say, so Guy does that every time. So if you ever had a live show and you see Guy and he says that, he doesn't really mean that. That's what he's talking about. It's the weather's horrendous today. Well, it's a sunshine state. It's called the doom and gloom cloud state. Look at it clearing up a little bit, though. So this is a live show. Let's hope we don't have any apocalyptic electricity meltdown, all right? I got a lot to get to today, folks.

We're going to talk about some really serious stuff in the beginning of the show, because I've been out of the government for a bit now.

I've been out of the government for what is it close to six months, but I need to clear something up with you. And it's really important, very important. And we're going to have a sober, reasoned conversation about what turned into a big news story yesterday. I think it's important you hear from me on this, too. So stay tuned. We got a lot to discuss. And Justin was kind enough on a slightly less serious note to put together a wonderful array of clown Democrats, of course. Why are they always dancing and singing? Why? They're not even good at it.

Folks, we're still a couple of months out, but the midterms are fast approaching and make no mistake. If the house flips, it's a big deal for our economy. Yeah. And uncertainty is one of the reasons I'm diversified with gold from Birch Gold Group, BIRCH, and I'm not the only one. In the three months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, the spot price of gold jumped over 12%. Why is that? Many investors considered it a hedge against uncertainty. If you don't own gold, I would suggest talking with Birch Gold like I did. They'll discuss your goals and explain how precious metals can fit into your savings. They can even help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold for no additional money out of pocket. With an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and tens of thousands of happy customers, Birch Gold can help you too. Text my name, Dan, to the number 989898, get a free info kit and get some solid information. The midterms will be here before you know it. Text Dan to 989898 Message and data rates may apply.

And by age 60, many are likely producing half. But here's how taking collagen can help you. Here's how taking collagen will help. Collagen is awesome for helping with joint stiffness and mobility, and it's great for helping with bone density. Paula will tell you how great collagen is for our skin and her hair swears by it.
