You know, just a few years ago, if you told somebody you were stocking up on emergency food, they would have called you a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist. We've all seen the supply chain chaos. We've all seen the devastating natural disasters, inflation, war, civil unrest. That's why we are so excited to partner with my Patriot Supply, America's original Patriot Preparedness Company.

Thank you, my Patriot Supply. Let's go! All right, here we go yesterday. You know what? The whole show I thought about the whole show, just pleading the fifth the whole time. I plead the fifth and say nothing. but I have a feeling a lot of people would get very upset with me if I did that. I plead the fifth. The fifth. Anthony Fauci. So where do we begin on Anthony Fauci? Oh, we'll begin here. I can't stand. I detest the guy. I detest the guy. And just, if I may, we do a little story time, if I may. It's the last show that we're going to be doing tomorrow. Not here. So I'll be on rumble.com slash LFA TV if you want to jump on. but last show we're doing here on the Dan Bonino show for the week. All right. Little storytelling. I got involved in politics, in political commentary because of what I heard Dan Bongino talking about as I was stuck in traffic on the Tappan Bridge in May of 2018. SpyGate was just becoming a thing. People were talking about. Dan was exposing a whole lot with regards. regards to that hoax. And I remember thinking, you know, the government spying on sitting presidents, the government is spying on presidential candidates. Like, this type of tyranny is unacceptable. And so the seed was planted in my mind. At some point in time, I'm going to have to do something, right? At some point in time, I got to find a way to get people motivated, get people engaged, get people involved, take over the political process in the state of New York, or at least in my backyard right on Long Island, so that we can put an end to this overreach. That was in 2018. 2019 happens. Loyal, Dan Bongino show listener, a P1. Many people will call it a P1, the greatest. Think about it, the greatest. And then at the end of 2019, we start hearing about mystery pneumonia out of China. Right? There's a virus in China. novel, people having a hard time breathing. It's nasty. And I'm going, here we go. All right? It's just going to be like SARS. This is going to be like mers. It's going to be like swine flu. I was in high school for the swine flu. Everyone went nuts over the swine flu. Yeah. Rosie O'Donnell got the swine flu, but that's because she's swine. Think about it. Pig. Pig. Um, and so 2020 happens. and we get into February. I actually went up to, what's the name of the place in New Hampshire? Southern New Hampshire University. I forget the name of the town, but SNHU in late February, mid to late February. There was a Trump rally in mid to late February at Southern New Hampshire University. I'm like, that might be the closest Donald Trump comes to New York because New York's not a red state, it's not a swing state. I'm going. So I go up there. It turns out that that was either the last or second to last rally that Donald Trump had before the lockdowns. And it was his first rally that he had after beating the first impeachment attempt. So it was a raucous crowd and people were flipping out. It was, you know, I waited online for like six hours that morning in the rain. There was a little kid there shaming a Bernie Sanders supporter. You're an idiot. He's a communist. I was like, kids said it. You can't yell to kid. Of course, the guy did yell at the kid because leftists or animals. And then a few weeks after that, we get the lockdowns. So remember, in 2018, the seed was planted. Man, our government is more corrupt than I thought. And we've got to take a stand that we've got to use our voices and we've got to take over the process and we've got to have that we the people moment where we send a message to the government. Hey, you're not going to put your boot on our neck. We're not going to stand for it. The seed was planted in 2018. The seed was watered in 2020 because of Anthony Fauci, because of 15 days to slow the spread, because of what I lived through, and so many, we asked this question a couple days ago in the chat, hey, were you from New York during 2020, during the lockdowns? And there were a lot of people in the live chat say, yeah, I was there. I remember it. The seed was watered in 2020. And I remember, because I was able to work all throughout the pandemic. Sherwin-Williams says a very talented lawyers that apparently found a way to qualify our paint stores on Long Island as essential businesses. How I have no idea, but I'm happy that they did it because I was able to work. So not a lot changed for me. I didn't wind up getting sucked into the hysteria. You know, like that, like I said, that episode of SpongeBob where he's making friends with a potato chip, a napkin, and a penny. Right? I was like, ah, well, life feels normal. I'm still going to work. I was still traveling. I was still, you know, going out. I went out to the spots to fly my drones until a dumb town supervisor, whoever it was at the time. Might have been Rich Schaefer on Long Island. And I emailed his office, why is the spot closed? Oh, we don't want gatherings. Bro, your beach is open down the road with hundreds of people parking at it. But five people can't go fishing over here. Oh, we're sorry for the inconvenience. Yeah, me too. I just parked next to the where the lot was closed and walked right onto that. You're not going to, this is America. You're not going to take that away from us was the bottom line. That's how I lived during COVID. But I remember listening to Dan during that time period and him trying to calm everyone down. I remember the runs on the supermarkets, namely the toilet paper, going, man, everyone is just caught up in this panic to the point where you now believe you need 96 rolls of toilet paper to make it through two weeks. If that's, if that's what's going on, you have a much bigger problem than COVID. Like you've got the cyclo runny asses thing, right? You know, you got the Hershey Highway. The Hershey Highway is flash flood warding or the Hershey Highway. You don't want that. You know, it's like you really need that much toilet paper, 96 rolls. We can do with all that. Actually, there are people in New York that who work, God bless capitalism. There are people in New York that were buying the toilet paper. And then, of course, selling it in the parking lot at a premium, which is extremely illegal, and those people were arrested. But I mean, I give them, I give them credit for trying. I definitely give them credit for trying. Why not? You know, I have an entrepreneurial mindset. Which is, by the way, exactly what's going to happen in New York City with the public markets. You're going to buy something at a 30% discount. Then you're going to mark it up in the parking lot, and you're going to make a killing. Black market. Or, excuse me, it's a market of color. We have to be politically correct here in the year 2026. Okay. You said they stocked up on peanut butter. That's the best video The only time I could really use that button So thank you for saying If you've ever seen that video before Where there's that kid he sees he has a Nutella can And he reads it N-U-T-E-L-A What's that say? Peanut Butter Okay I've been waiting to use that button So that was the perfect opportunity She's been waiting to use the peanut butter button There it is But we get the lockdowns The ridiculous curfews And we're all sitting there going this is insane and then George Floyd happens in May of 2020. And all of a sudden, all those rules went out the window if you were out, I don't know, I have something in my eye, so I don't know what's going on. All those rules went out the window if, of course, you were protesting social justice, racial justice, all cops are bad. You could do whatever you want. But if you were going out there saying, hey, let's let us open our businesses again. No, no, no, no, no, that's a super spreader event. All of those draconian lockdown policies, all of those men. measures, all of those recommendations, all of those rules, because they weren't laws, but they were rules that we didn't have to follow. If we, and I talk about we, I tried not to follow as many of them as possible. I remember traveling during that whole thing, coming back into the airport, they wanted me to write my name down on a page to do contact tracing. And I said, that's not going to happen. Well, you have to do it. Really? I have to. And who's going to make me do it? Are you going to chase me around the airport? Look at you, you slob. I'm definitely faster than you. You're never going to catch me. Now the whole plane's going to empty out, and you're not going to get anybody's name on the page. Why you just cut your losses? Leave me alone. This is America. We don't do that crap here. To quote the great Andy Ogles, Congressman in Tennessee's fifth congressional district, who at the time was the mayor of Murray County, Tennessee, who did not entertain any of the lunacy that Anthony Fauci was pushing on the rest of the country. It's all comes back to Fauci. Fauci watered the seed that Dan Bongino planted, and it started sprouting up while we were where we were living through the lockdowns in New York State. Some of the more bizarre rules, and we talked about this a little bit earlier in the week, but I'll go over one more time. Some of the more bizarre rules, right, the curfews, as if if you're out past 11 o'clock, there's more virus out at that time than there is at any point in time during the day, like mosquitoes, you know, like they come out at dusk and they're out, you know, when it starts getting dark where they don't come out in the middle of the heat, there's not as many mosquitoes. So like the virus comes out in waves. No. Because then Andrew Cuomo decided a few weeks after that. Nah, the curfews now midnight. What'd you? You sign a deal or something with COVID? Don't come out till midnight now. The people want to stay out an hour longer. We had that. The school's getting shut down. When children were the least vulnerable demographic when it came to this virus. On the flip side of that, you had a member Trump sent the hospital ship to Manhattan. It was sitting there docked on the Hudson River, empty, while Andrew Cuomo sent sick people into nursing homes the most vulnerable of our population. The elderly, immunocompromised, even through seasonal flu. You don't want to get elderly people sick because they have a higher chance of death. But in the name of science, he took sick people and stuck them in nursing homes. where was Anthony Fauci saying that's not a good idea? He was nowhere because he doesn't care because the guy's a monster. The draconian lockdowns, and it wasn't just New York that suffered these lockdowns. You had Pennsylvania, you had New Jersey, you had Michigan. In Michigan, this was great. In Michigan, you were not allowed to garden and grow food, but you could still grow marijuana. Well, that sucks because what the hell happens if you get the munchies, right? Yeah, you grow all this pot in your backyard. That's cool. Now you're high as a kite, but you don't have any potatoes to pick in your garden either because Gretchen Whitmer said you can't do that. Ladies and gentlemen, the source of all of that lunacy is Anthony Fauci. This guy is one of the most evil people to walk the earth. I don't say that to exaggerate. That is not hyperbole. That is not me being a sensationalist. is the truth, the learning loss that your children suffered as a result of the lockdowns. That's Anthony Fauci. The small businesses that were destroyed never to return again as a result of the lockdowns. That's Anthony Fauci. The elderly who were killed in those nursing homes because Andrew Cuomo decided it was a good idea to send sick people into nursing homes. and then other states around the country followed his lead because Anthony Fauci said that Cuomo was the gold standard. That's Anthony Fauci. The economic impacts, spending on measures that we didn't need to spend on, that's Anthony Fauci. But if it wasn't for Fauci's lockdowns, I don't know if I would be sitting here today. Because I might not have been angry enough. New York might not have been angry enough. Long Island might not have been angry enough. But in the late summer, early fall of 2020, a lot of people started saying, we've had enough. We have had enough. You started to see in places like Florida, where DeSantis, you know, his favorite condiment is mustard, but his, you know, where DeSantis came out and said, we're not playing along. So the boat parade's starting to take off, right? right, the Trump flags everywhere. That started to happen on Long Island as well. I remember going out to watch one of them. There was a bunch of people parked in this obscure location, and they were all there to watch those boats too. But nobody was admitting why they were there. That is until my obnoxious ass decided, on the bed of my pickup truck, I was just going to crank the Trump rally from the night before, throw up an American flag and a Trump flag, and the flag holders I've got drilled into my bed and say, yeah, I'm here to watch the freaking boats. and if anyone has a problem with it, go ahead, come talk to me. Nobody had a problem with. They were all there for the same reason, but they were afraid. And I said, this is a shame. This is the United States of America, and we're afraid to say that we support the sitting president of the United States who's going to be up for election in a couple of months. Driving home, I felt a
