The Dan Bongino Show

So last night, this happened with Stephen King. You remember Washed Up Has-Been? Stephen King wrote a few books. They were weirdo books. A lot of them had kid orgies in them and stuff. The guy's like a total sicko, right?

So I read this guy's books. I think I read Thinner and what was the other one? And Carried. I read the books. They were okay. I mean, they weren't the greatest books I ever read, but they were entertaining.

I've been in this ongoing fight with former husband Stephen King He wrote a clown book or something one time So I told him to get a freaking job because I can't stand Stephen King his books kind of suck

But Stephen King and I've been going at it and I've been telling him every day how Biden is the most destructive

one of the things I had to read was Thinner

We'll be right back on the other side of this break with Don Trump Jr., author of the new book, Liberal Privilege.

Don Trump Jr., author of the new book, Liberal Privilege. Go check it out.

Pick up his book, Liberal Privilege.

He was on fire about his new book liberal privilege.

He talks about cancel culture, social media and his new book The Plus--it blew up this weekend.

I hate self-help books too.

There's only two I ever read that I thought were really worth their time is the road less travel...and then the follow-up, right the people of the lie was a great book.

So it boiled down to like every day you got to make a choice. Is it a plus or minus and it's basically providing top spin on your decision-making?

I actually read most of the book. I got through about 60% of it.

This is Greg's dedication in the book: "Obviously The Plus self-help for people who hate self-help. To Elena."

Some 11 years ago in two ladies, scholars, Chenoues and Stefan, published in Columbia, research they made of hundreds of civil protests in the last over 100 years from 1900 to 2006.

And they found a common denominator. All these protests which succeeded were there which a level of 3.5% of the population, which ends up to be about 8% of the adult population, tenaciously and persistently keeping the protests, boycotts, civil disobedience and so on, at the end the government either fall or capitulate.

And this is exactly, we already crossed this number within less than three months. So we are heading in the right direction.

The publication called Why Civil Resistance Works.

Why civil, notice how they call it resistance, right? Not rioting or nothing else.

Because the left, you know, I had Michael Knowles on my radio show the other day, and he's a smart guy. He has a new book out called Speechless. It's very good.

Because the way the left, you know, I had Michael Knowles on my radio show the other day, and he's a smart guy. He has a new book out called Speechless. It's very good.

His book has exploded, exploded across America. His book, American Marxism, I had him on my radio show Monday, he sold an astonishing 400,000 copies in his first week.

I've written a lot of books. I want you to put this in perspective. What was the best one we had? The highest peak. We were the number two book on Amazon with my book Exonerated, which ironically I did on Mark's show, Life, Liberty, and Levin. That book was number two on Amazon, was the second best-selling book in America that week. We sold 30,000 copies, which for me was a huge success. Levin sold 400,000 in less than a week, 10 times that.

I'm telling you it's his best book yet, American Marxism.

Mark Levin's new book explodes onto the charts.

He's not in the running for the number one book of the week. He may be in the running right now for the number one book of the year, because Americans want to learn about what's going on. I'm telling you, it's his best book yet, American Marxism.

If you haven't picked it up, do it like yesterday. It's that good.

If a parent wants to read a book called This Book Is Gay or Out of Darkness, these are books that they're available. Then buy them for your kids. That's your choice. It doesn't mean they're banned,

Oh, so you want to put This Book Is Gay and Out of Darkness and We Are the Ants in your library, whatever they are, books with the topics many school districts believe are just not appropriate for kids.

I'm going to read the book out loud that you want 12yearolds to read in school. The book is called, literally, This Book Is Gay. ... the liberals want 12yearolds to read this stuff. It's really graphic.

I look at some of the books that we're seeing commonly implemented in our libraries. ... this book ... recommends to young children how to flirt in gay bars. It recommends to children how to enter into nonconsensual sexual relationships. ... oral sex is popping another dude's peen in your mouth ... letting any guy come in your mouth is safe sex.

What about The War Against Boys?

We're going to put road to serfdom, capitalism and freedom. We're going to put The War Against Boys.

Christina Hoff, who actually wrote a book called War on Boys.

the only way that we thought we could do it to tell the story we wanted to is that we financed it ourselves.

I wrote a book back in 2016 called the nefarious plot.

the guys who did the God's not dead and unplanned heard about the book. And they were like, we had to turn that into a movie.

It's called Nefarious. It's excellent. It's by the same guys who did God's Not Dead and Unplanned. And it's based on a book by my friend Steve Day.

The movie is just outstanding.

It has some of those really scary moments, but it's well acted. It's extremely entertaining. And don't let the marketing scare you. You're going to want to see this film.

I have to say even though Liberty and Tyranny is the manifesto for everyone and everyone should read this is my favorite title because they do hate America And I want to dig right in because this book I had a it was hard to pick a part I liked the most but chapter 3 of the book you go into the communists and their anti-white racism and anti-semitism

The premise of the book, and I think it's very, very important, is The Democrat Party Hates America since its founding. That is the founding of the Democrat Party. It's never supported Americanism. It has hated the Declaration since Woodrow Wilson and before. It hates the Constitution because there are barriers set up to limit who? Them. To limit them.

So they now move to white racism because they always have to embrace racism. And so they figure this is a way in order to keep power, to bring out their base or elements of their base and so forth and so on.

It's a way for the Marxists and the Democrat Party follows this line in Americanized form to trash and rewrite our history. Totalitarian regimes need to rewrite their history. And that's what happens in this country.

It is a monster bestseller already. I think this could be up there with Liberty and Tyranny. Maybe one of your best, maybe your bestseller.

Mark Levin has a new book out today. It's called The Democrat Party Hates America, which is probably the most true and authentic title we've ever heard, fellas, which is actually factually accurate.

check this book out, chapter three and chapter four, highly recommended about the euphemisms language game the Democrats play and communists, their use of division tactics like race and other things.

Pick this up. It's out today. Amazing book.

I've screwed up a lot my life wrote a whole book about all my failures because I'm proud of them because not because I failed I'm proud because after those failures got up busted off the elbows the knees the ankles my ass from falling on my back and I got up and did something different I was like okay I failed what did I do let me do something different

I've got a whole book coming out about my failures. I got tired of people writing about their successes, so I'm writing a book about my failures.

It is by Kaylee McEnany. Kaylee, welcome back to the show.

the book is incredible. It's a great book.

It's called Serenity in the Storm for a reason you talk about, whether it's a church in Afghanistan or some legal rulings we've had go in our favor, how it's not all bad.

The book is amazing folks. Please pick it up today.

It strikes an incredibly optimistic tone.

I'm proud to have published Kaylee McEnany's latest book. It's out now. I came out this week. It's called Serenity in the Storm It's about her relationship with Jesus Christ

She talks about it in relationship to current events how to get through this insanity rat. I love the book It's why I published it.

Reminds me of that book I read which I love how to lose a million dollars guy says there's a thousand ways to make a million dollars, right?

i read another book was it how i lost a million dollars it's a great book and the running thesis behind the whole book is there's a thousand paths to success in business some people will tell you invest in gold some people say don't invest in gold some people say invest in stocks some people say don't invest in stocks invest in bonds some people say bitcoin some people say don't invest in bitcoin there's a thousand ways people have gotten rich right some that contradict each other meaning there must be multiple pathways to success but i could tell you ladies and gentlemen there is one path to failure that is never knowing as kennie roger said you got to do in the fold of my voice is terrible joker probably sing it better he's an actual musician i'm not but they never know when a cost is sunk business athletes coaches general managers they never they cannot a sunk cost meaning your investment in a stock in a player it's it's done it's over the player is a failure the stock keeps losing money people can't get out they keep saying tomorrow we're going to turn it around tomorrow he's going to get out of the slump tomorrow his attitude is going to change the stock's going to fix itself tomorrow and you know what ladies and gentlemen it never does i shouldn't say never it rarely does there's a million past the success but there's one path to failure take advice from kenny rogers no one to walk away no one to run

Well, number one, it's a relief to do a book like you and I are friends. You would have me on if I had something on the history of sewing, we would have, and I would tell you why I cared about it.

But I was relieved to know and yet said that the issue that I'm talking about in the 1840s, 1850s, 1860s, it still exists today, not to the degree it is, but we're still talking about racial unrest. We're talking about equity. We're talking about reparations. We're talking about how to handle it, how to equal the playing field without making it unlevel for either side and how much anger we should have.

I will never achieve. I will never offer also soft pedal. The, uh, the original sin of America. No one will. And I don't want to, I bring quotes, not opinion.

What do you learn? I will never take a backwards step physically or, uh, or, um, or, or intellectually the rest of my life.

Sadly, Lincoln never wrote about it, but others said he talked about it. Douglas was a overpowering figure in the time wanted an immediate emancipation proclamation, wanted to let blacks fight for their freedom. He didn't do it.

That's our history. That's our history right there. Warts and all being written in a book by yes, Brian Kilmeade from Fox News covering this. That's our history.

Mr. President, a sacred effort.

I think one of the strongest bits of evidence for the afterlife and the affirmation of heaven is a near death experiences. I was a skeptic about that until I found there are 900 scholarly articles published in scientific and medical journals over the last 40 years on near death experiences, a very well scientifically studied phenomenon.

I think one of the strongest bits of evidence for the afterlife and the affirmation of heaven is near-death experiences.
