    The Dan Bongino Sunday Special 10/01/23 - Mark Levin, Donald Trump Jr., Scott Presler, and the tale of the Maria Giavolo Institute

    enOctober 01, 2023

    Podcast Summary

    • The Democrat Party's Hatred for AmericaMark Levin argues that the Democrats exploit racial tensions and use tools of division to gain power, reaching back to the 1970s and drawing on Marxist scholars and black nationalist movements to promote re-segregation, while Dan Bongino emphasizes the importance of using ExpressVPN to protect online privacy and security.

      According to Mark Levin, as discussed on the Sunday Podcast with Dan Bongino, the Democrat Party's hatred for America is a recurring theme in his new book, "The Democrat Party Hates America." Levin believes that the Democrats do not support individualism or a colorblind society, and instead, they use tools of division such as racism and anti-Semitism to gain power. He argues that the party reaches back to the 1970s and draws on Marxist scholars and black nationalist movements to promote re-segregation. Expressing his viewpoint, Levin asserts that the Democrats have not come as far as they claim in promoting equality under the law, and they continue to exploit racial tensions to further their political agenda. The use of ExpressVPN, as promoted by Dan Bongino, is essential to protect online privacy and security. ExpressVPN offers features such as no logging of user activity, high-speed connections, and ease of use, making it the top VPN choice for many, including Dan Bongino.

    • Democrats' Long-standing Opposition to American ValuesThe speaker accuses the Democrat Party of opposing American values, individualism, and the Constitution, while projecting their own negative actions onto the Republican Party. They label this as 'civil rights Marxism' and accuse the party of hating America since its founding.

      The speaker argues that the Democrat Party has a long history of opposing American values, individualism, and the Constitution, while projecting their own negative actions onto the Republican Party. They label this as "civil rights Marxism," and accuse the party of hating America since its founding. The speaker also claims that the Democrats have attempted to control elections through fraudulent means and turn these fraudulent practices into law. They view the Democrat Party as an autocratic entity that seeks to control society and culture through groupism and propaganda.

    • A history of divisive Democrat Party policiesThe Democrat Party has a long history of promoting divisive policies, embracing racism, and supporting totalitarian tactics, demonstrating a disregard for truth and a pursuit of power.

      The Democrat Party, as argued by Mark Levin in his book "Democrat Party Hates America," has a long history of promoting divisive and harmful policies, including embracing racism and supporting totalitarian regimes' tactics to rewrite history. The party's actions, such as supporting the Klan, eugenics, and segregation, and their current stance on open borders, demonstrate a disregard for truth and a pursuit of power at any cost. The book also highlights the Democrats' manipulation of language, definitions, and censorship to impose their values and control actions. The historical context and evidence presented in the book provide a clear picture of the Democrat Party's agenda and its negative impact on American society.

    • Exploring the Democratic Party's History and Controversial Views towards AmericaMark Levin's new book, 'The Democrat Party Hates America,' delves into the history of the Democratic Party, its perceived hatred for America, and includes extensive research verified by 30-page end notes.

      Mark Levin's new book, "The Democrat Party Hates America," is generating significant buzz and is packed with extensive research as evidenced by the 30-page end notes. Levin, known for his love for dogs, has dedicated the book to Marty. The book's themes revolve around the history of the Democratic Party and its perceived hatred for America. Listeners are encouraged to read the end notes for verification and to pick up a copy for themselves and others. Additionally, Don Trump Jr. was a recent guest on the show, discussing the latest attacks on his family and a potential investment opportunity involving an $18 million property at Morilago. Trump Jr. also hosts a podcast on Rumble, which goes live at 6 p.m. Eastern time weekdays.

    • Political Enemies Targeted through Controversial Legal RulingsDespite expert valuations and due process, political enemies are being targeted through controversial legal rulings, disregarding fairness and impartiality in the legal system.

      The legal system is being used in unprecedented ways to target political enemies, disregarding expert valuations and due process. Don Trump Jr. shared his experiences with the controversial legal ruling against his father, former President Trump, regarding Mar-a-Lago. The value of the property, worth $150 million, was questioned, despite being paid in full to the bank. The scrutiny in large transactions is heightened, but in this case, the judge disregarded the opinions of prestigious valuation experts and the bank's testimony. This is part of a larger trend of politically motivated attacks, with Attorney General Letitia James being criticized for her campaign against Trump before seeing any evidence. The lack of a jury trial and the disregard for due process raises concerns about the fairness and impartiality of the legal system.

    • Trump Jr. Perceives Legal System as Biased and Politically MotivatedDonald Trump Jr. believes his family, particularly his father, has been unfairly targeted and persecuted in certain jurisdictions due to their last name, despite facts or evidence. He criticizes hypocrisy towards human rights abuses and calls for fair trials and protection of property rights.

      The legal system in certain jurisdictions, as perceived by Donald Trump Jr., is biased and politically motivated. He believes that his family, specifically his father, has been unfairly targeted and persecuted based on their last name, regardless of the facts or evidence. He also criticizes the hypocrisy of those who have condemned authoritarian regimes for human rights abuses while staying silent on similar actions taken against the Trump family. He emphasizes the need for fair trials and the protection of property rights, expressing concern that these principles are being disregarded in the pursuit of political agendas.

    • Political divide over Hunter Biden's gun chargeDespite Hunter Biden's gun charge, some argue that focus on it is a distraction from potential Foreign Agent Registration Act violations and financial transactions involving high-level political figures. Critics believe these actions would face more scrutiny if committed by an opposing party member.

      While Hunter Biden's business dealings have faced scrutiny, particularly regarding his involvement with Ukraine and China, some argue that the focus on his gun charge is a distraction from more significant issues. These issues include potential Foreign Agent Registration Act violations and financial transactions that involve high-level political figures. Critics argue that these actions, if committed by a member of the opposing party, would be met with far more scrutiny and consequences. Don Trump Jr. shares this perspective and believes that the polls showing his father leading in the presidential race are an attempt by certain media outlets to sway public opinion. Overall, this discussion highlights the ongoing political divide and the perceived double standards in how allegations of corruption are handled.

    • Growing concerns about Biden's competence and leadershipThe Washington Post raises doubts about Biden's ability to lead, and some suggest he should resign. The political landscape is volatile, with issues like election fraud allegations and veteran mistreatment dominating the news. Despite these challenges, some believe Trump could still win due to dissatisfaction with the current administration.

      There are growing concerns about the competence and viability of the current administration, with some calling for Joe Biden to step aside due to his inability to win and perceived incompetence. The Washington Post, known for its liberal leanings, has reportedly changed polling methodologies and expressed doubts about Biden's ability to lead. Even the newspaper's own columnist, David Ignatius, has suggested that it's time for Biden to resign. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the vice president, Kamala Harris, may not be a viable alternative. The political landscape is volatile, with issues such as election fraud allegations, store closures, and veteran mistreatment dominating the news. Despite these challenges, some believe that Donald Trump could still emerge as a winning candidate due to dissatisfaction with the current administration. Additionally, Helix Sleep is offering a great deal on mattresses for Dan's listeners, with up to 20% off all orders and two free pillows.

    • Transforming Frustration into Action: Scott Pressa's Voter Registration JourneyInspired by President Obama's re-election, Scott Pressa turned frustration into action by registering voters and getting them to the polls. He encourages conservatives to seize opportunities to expand the voter base and make a difference in elections.

      Scott Pressa is a dedicated individual who transformed his frustration with political inaction into active engagement. He was inspired by President Obama's re-election in 2012 and realized he needed to contribute by registering voters and getting out the vote. Pressa's work includes organizing cleanups in various cities, but he recognizes that long-lasting change requires voter registration. He encourages conservatives to seize opportunities to register voters in various settings and get them to the polls. By doing so, Pressa believes they can make Joe Biden a one-term president. The importance of voter registration is a key theme in Pressa's story, emphasizing the significance of expanding the pool of potential voters.

    • Registering Voters: Opportunities and StrategiesEngage in voter registration efforts, especially in areas with new movers, and focus on young people's concerns to make a difference in Pennsylvania elections.

      There are numerous opportunities for voter registration and engagement, especially in areas where new movers have settled. Scott Pressler, a dedicated activist, shares his experiences of registering voters at events and in Pennsylvania, where there's been a net loss of around 1,000 Democratic voters per week. He urges listeners to get involved and make a difference, especially in Pennsylvania, where the upcoming election for Judge Carolyn Corluccio to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is crucial for checking Democratic Governor Shapiro's power. Pressler emphasizes the importance of reaching out to young people, who are concerned about issues like affordability, censorship, and lockdowns. To get involved, listeners can follow Pressler on social media or visit his website, where they can find information on upcoming events and opportunities to help register voters.

    • An activist's impact on voter registration and campaigns without RNC supportAn activist, Scott Pressler, is making a difference in voter registration and political campaigns in six key states, inspiring others to take action and make a difference, regardless of external validation or support.

      Scott Pressler, an activist and founder of Early Vote Action, is making a significant impact on voter registration and political campaigns, particularly in six key states, without the support of the Republican National Committee. Pressler's organization focuses on registering new voters and getting people to become registered Republicans, with the goal of ensuring that President Joe Biden is a one-term president. Despite not receiving a response from the RNC, Pressler remains committed to leading by example and continuing his efforts to make a difference. He encourages others to do the same and not wait for external validation or support. Pressler's story serves as an inspiration to take action and make a difference, no matter the size of the effort.

    • Misunderstanding Joe Biden's UN speechClear communication and fact-checking are crucial to avoid misunderstandings. Biden's speech was misinterpreted due to a lack of understanding of the institution he was referring to, emphasizing the need for accurate information.

      During a radio show discussion, there was a misunderstanding regarding a part of Joe Biden's UN speech. It was believed that Biden was mumbling and mentioning a random name, "Maria Giavolo," but it was later discovered that he was actually referring to the Maria Giavolo institution. The incident highlighted the importance of fact-checking and clear communication. Additionally, there were discussions about the intentions of the current administration and its impact on the country. Some believed that the administration was deliberately destroying institutions and creating a welfare state subordinate to China. The discussion also touched upon the importance of understanding different cultures and communities. Lastly, there was a commentary on the role of politicians and the media in addressing important issues like impeachment.

    • Discussions on Hunter Biden investigations and a local news reportDan Bongino suggested Ken Buck could learn investigative skills, but the team discussed a local news report about a man claiming to have heard an F-35 crash and a rumor about Maria Giavolo Institute graduates making a loud noise

      There have been ongoing discussions regarding Hunter Biden's activities and investigations, but Dan Bongino, the speaker, has not yet seen the evidence himself. He suggested that Ken Buck, a congressman, could potentially learn investigative skills at the Maria Geovolo Institute, which Joe Biden had previously promoted. However, the conversation took a turn when they discussed a local news report about a man named Randolph White who claimed to have heard an F-35 plane crash in South Carolina. The team was unsure if this was a joke or a real incident, but they agreed that White's account was compelling. The conversation also touched upon a rumor that graduates from the Maria Giavolo Institute have to make a loud noise to show solidarity. The team found this amusing and couldn't determine if it was true or not. Overall, the conversation was light-hearted but touched upon various investigative topics.

    • Podcast listeners enjoy the show despite occasional chaos86.5% of respondents liked the podcast, and hosts explored a mysterious institution mentioned by President Biden

      Despite the occasional chaotic or off-the-wall moments on a podcast, the majority of listeners still enjoy the show. This was evidenced by an instant poll conducted during a particularly unconventional episode, which revealed that 86.5% of respondents liked the show. Additionally, the hosts took a brief break to explore a mysterious institution mentioned by President Biden during a UN speech, the Maria Giavolo Institute, which turned out to be a real place with an unusual mission. Despite the hosts' initial skepticism and amusement, they encouraged listeners to look it up for themselves. Overall, the podcast continued to deliver a mix of serious news analysis and lighter, more entertaining content, keeping listeners engaged and coming back for more.

    The Legalization Cure for the Heroin Epidemic

    The Legalization Cure for the Heroin Epidemic

    A heroin epidemic has been spreading across the United States, expanding enormously for the last several years. With it, the number of people dying has also increased dramatically. While politicians offer failed solutions like “securing the borders,” the real solution is to legalize drugs.

    The number of drug overdoses in the US is approaching 50,000 per year. Of that number nearly 20,000 are attributed to legal pain killers, such as Oxycontin. More than 10,000 die of heroin overdoses. I believe these figures vastly underestimate the number of deaths that are related to prescription drug use.

    The “face” of the heroin epidemic has changed since the 1960s when it was largely contained to urban “junkies” and Vietnam veterans. In recent years the epidemic spread to suburbia as heroin became a low-cost substitute for other drugs. In more recent times, the epidemic has spread to rural areas such as fishing villages in Maine and coal mining towns in Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

    The problem of the epidemic rests with two causes. The first is the War on Drugs which creates profit incentives in the black market for the distribution of the most dangerous drugs. The second is the pharmaceutical-medical-FDA complex, or Big Pharma, which profits from treating pain with dangerous pharmaceutical drugs.

    The Problem with Illegal Opiates

    The War on Drugs makes the business of black market drugs more risky and expensive. Hundreds of thousands are arrested every year for illegal drug violations. If drug smugglers can make their shipments of, for example, 1,000 doses or units smaller, they are better able to avoid detection, capture, and punishment. The best and most obvious way to achieve this is to smuggle more potent versions of the drug, or more potent drugs.

    Marijuana growers sought to meet the demand of smugglers by offering better processed, better grown, and eventually genetically engineered products tightly packed into “bricks.” As a result, the potency of THC in marijuana increased from less than 0.5 percent when the War on Drugs began in the early 1970s, to almost 10 percent today.

    Of course, the incentive from the War on Drugs does not stop there. It also encourages producers to switch to other drugs that are more compact and potent. Therefore, marijuana as a class of drug is disadvantaged compared to more potent and more dangerous drugs like cocaine and heroin. This leaves a black market where one dose of marijuana is relatively more expensive than one dose of heroin.

    In the black market consumers do not know how potent their purchases will be until after the product has been consumed. In the free market, the potency of a Bayer aspirin is always the same. In the black market, the potency of products can vary widely over time. Also, a consumer’s tolerance for a drug changes over time. Daily users may have to increase their dose over time, while new users or relapsed addicts may only need small doses. If any individual takes much more than the appropriate dose for them, then they will stop breathing and can die.

    Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s overdose death helps illustrate the pitfalls created by the War on Drugs. Hoffman was a drug addict that had been off of drugs for many years. When he became overwhelmed with personal problems he relapsed and died from a combination of prescription and potent illegal drugs. There have also been numerous reports about heroin being sold that contains both heroin and a legal opiate, Fentanyl, which is often lethal.

    In a free market, heroin would come in an unadulterated pharmaceutical grade form of various indentified doses. It would have warning labels and instructions. You might have to consult a medical doctor or pharmacist before purchasing heroin, or you might have to go to a clinic. The producers, distributors, and retailers would have some liability for negligence. Before it was made illegal in 1914 one of the most popular heroin products was Bayer’s Heroin.

    The Problem with Legal Opiates

    One of the biggest problems with legal opiates and heroin is that the medical-pharmaceutical-FDA complex has achieved a much greater use rate in recent years. Essentially, the pharmaceutical companies bribe medical researchers, doctors, and heath bureaucrats to recommend to authorities such as the FDA to promote the use of drugs such as Oxycontin and Vicodin, instead of less powerful and less addictive alternatives that were used in the past. Of course, the taxpayer ends up paying for most of the bill.

    A couple of years ago while traveling I went to a “Doc in the Box” for a minor medical issue. I was examined by a physician’s assistant and was asked what pharmacy I used. I picked up the prescription after leaving and took one pill when I arrived at the motel. I sat in a chair and later became groggy and almost lost my balance when I stood up. As soon as I steadied myself, I went to check the prescription. To my amazement, it was Oxycontin!

    The problem gets worse from there because physicians are also under pressure from the government to not overprescribe strong painkillers. They, for example, cannot continue to prescribe pain killers after a wound has obviously healed. The result is that people are addicted and then cut off from these powerful opiate prescriptions.

    Their alternatives include entering an addiction treatment program which can be expensive, time consuming, and ineffective. As a result, these freshly minted addicts can turn to the black market for Oxycontin and Vicodin. The problem here is that it can cost $10–25 per pill and addicts require multiple pills per day. Also the supply of such pills can be erratic.

    Their next alternative is the black market heroin which seems to be more available than ever and often at a lower price per dose. If you buy in large quantities you can obtain a dose for as little as $4.00 and possibly lower.

    Legal Use Leads to Illegal Use

    This explains why we have seen the heroin epidemic spread across the country. Doctors are prescribing legal opiates to people like fishermen and coal miners who sustain painful injuries on a regular basis. They become addicted and then get cut off. Eventually they cannot afford the black market prescription drugs, so they turn to the often deadly alternative, heroin.

    How can the drug legalization help solve this vexing problem? First of all, in a free market you would not have Big Pharma rigging the medical practices of doctors around the country creating thousands of addicts each month. Second, drug addiction treatment programs could use the maintenance and withdrawal method which was used somewhat effectively prior to the passage of the Harrison Narcotics Act in 1914.

    Third, in a free market, drugs like heroin would be produced and sold on a commercial basis. It would be a standardized product(s) and companies that sold dangerous and addictive products would do so under several legal constraints, such as liability and negligence law. Fourth, cannabis would be legal and produced for several medical purposes, like it was prior to the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937. Many of the pre-prohibition products were used to treat pain, as well as many of the symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal, such as muscle aches, anxiety, inability to sleep, nausea, and vomiting.

    With drug legalization the number of overdose deaths would plummet and tens of thousands of families would not have their lives ruined every year.
