Democrats Peddle Conspiracies About Trump’s Age In Desperate Final Push
Democrats are desperately trying to depict former President Donald Trump as old and frail in the final weeks of the election.
Dan Bongino – former Secret Service agent turned conservative political commentator – was sounding the alarm on the problems with the Secret Service “decades ago.”
He even wrote a book about it: “Protecting the President: An Inside Account of the Troubled Secret Service in an Era of Evolving Threats.”
“You're going to think, ‘Gosh, did he write this 10 minutes ago?’ No, I wrote it 10 years ago,” he tells Glenn Beck, shedding light on the longevity of the internal issues within the Secret Service.
Back in August of 2023, Bongino warned on his show that he was receiving “information from high-ranking Secret Service sources” regarding “the minimal security posture applied to Donald Trump.”
But when he predicted “that Donald Trump was likely going to be hurt or killed,” the mainstream media “attacked [him] as a conspiracy theorist.”
Those same people who falsely call themselves journalists are now eating their words, as Bongino’s hypothesis was proven correct on July 13.
“You have inside connections,” says Glenn. “Does your gut tell you this is just more of the same incompetence times a thousand or is something nefarious going on?”

“I can tell you the level of incompetence leads naturally to the second question; you're not crazy to ask it,” Bongino responds.
As for the “stunning” incompetence, however, Bongino has some questions.
“Why was President Trump on ... what we would call the X? Why was he out on the podium at all” considering they “knew there was a threat up to an hour out, potentially 18 minutes out?” he asks, adding that “there is absolutely zero chance the command post did not get information that they were working a suspicious male surveilling the outside of the perimeter with a rangefinder.”
“They just let the line-of-site threat exist, and the countersurveillance vulnerability assessment — which is a piece of paperwork the countersurveillance team looks at — will show that they knew that was a vulnerability and yet they did nothing about it,” he continues. “They basically let him get shot.”
As for that document, “They’re going to claim it’s classified,” says Bongino, but “it’s not.”
The Secret Service has also given other excuses to justify their actions, such as it was “too hot,” the “roof was sloped,” and that they manned the building from inside on the first floor.

Oliver Anthony's powerful song "Rich Men North of Richmond" has gone viral and prompted country music fans and legends alike to take notice. Whether it's a matter of the song helping to exorcise the sickly zeitgeist or just resonating with Americans "living in a new world with an old soul," millions are tuning in — and country legend John Rich has reportedly volunteered to produce Anthony's record.
The young man, who has roots in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia, sings in his viral song, "I've been selling my soul / working all day / overtime hours / for bulls*** pay / so I can sit out here / and waste my life away," proceeding to note, "It's a damn shame / what the world's gotten to / for people like me / and people like you."
Anthony introduced himself on YouTube in an Aug. 7 video ahead of his song's debut on Radiowv, saying, "It's going to be the first song to get out there that's been recorded on a real microphone and a real camera and not just on my cell phone."
"Lord willing, it's going to get some traffic," said Anthony, noting the song touches in part on his time working in a factory in western North Carolina as well as on depression and the evil of child trafficking.
"This is no Dr. Phil episode," he continued. "But I found an outlet in this music. ... I started getting messages from people saying like how much the music was helping them, you know, with their struggles and their lives and that they'd been sitting on the back porch listening to me for the last hour. ... It really gave me a purpose."
Reflecting on his time working in a factory and on various job sites as well as upon his engagements with other Americans struggling to make ends meet, Anthony said that he wants to "be a voice" for people who are "sick and tired of being sick and tired."
Days before his meteoric rise, he stressed, "I don't care where you are or what you've done, where you think your life's heading — everything can change in a moment. As long as you're above the dirt, you've got a fighting chance."
Among the millions of ears Anthony's song has graced were those belonging to the founder of High Value Dad, Jason Howerton, who promptly reached out to the musician.
Howerton learned that Anthony had struggled with mental health, alcohol, and drugs in the past.
"Just about a month ago," Howerton relayed, Anthony "got to his knees & broke down in tears. Though he wasn't a religious man, that night he promised to get sober if he helped him follow his dream."
According to Howerton, "Here is a man who broke down & surrendered everything to God."
Only 30 days sober, someone apparently reached out to him and asked him to record a song for his YouTube channel. That song: "Rich Men North of Richmond."
Within hours, it had gone viral.
There's little surprise in that. Have a listen:

Anthony's song has attracted some significant attention.
Early Thursday, Howerton posted, "Hey, someone get in touch with this artist for me and tell him I will fund him to produce a studio quality album with this as the first single. He is too good to not have a better catalogue on iTunes," adding he didn't want "some asshat in a suit digging his hooks into him, would love to see him stay independent and own his music."
Tyler Cardon, CEO of Blaze Media, tweeted to Howerton, "This is so awesome. Let's get him to Dallas. I want to help blow this up."
Soon, other country fans, media professionals, and conservatives were offering to help Anthony, who joined Twitter Thursday and within hours had netted over 27,000 followers.
Doug Eldridge, the founder of DLE Agency, which specializes in marketing, offered to handle strategic media and communications for free.
Conservative commentator Matt Walsh indicated Thursday night, "If he produces an album I'll promote it on all my platforms."
Dan Bongino announced he and country music legend John Rich were "in" — meaning he would assist with distribution, while Rich would produce Anthony's record — then asked Anthony to play his song on the radio today, such that it could be heard on "over 300 stations across the country."

While kingmakers and newly minted fans spoke of record deals, promotions, and distributions, Howerton quipped, "The irony is Oliver is probably working his ass off right now and doesn't even know what's happening."
Anthony used his first tweet to express his gratitude, writing, "Rich Men North of Richmond has been uploaded to all major streaming platforms and will show up there in a few days. Im still in a state of shock at the outpouring of love I've seen in the comments, messages and emails. I'm working to respond to everyone as quickly as possible."
In his Aug. 7 video, the breakout star made clear, "Sometimes it takes falling down on your knees and getting ready to call things quits before it becomes obvious that [God is] there. But He's always there. You just gotta look out for him and listen for him."

Conservative commentator Dan Bongino has asserted that liberals are "obsessed" with speaking to children about sex.
"Libs are obsessed with talking to your kids about sex, having sex, how to have sex, their sex lives, others’ sex lives, straight sex, gay sex, multiple sex partners, young people having sex, sex 'changes,' and worse. If this doesn't disturb you, then you're not paying attention." Bongino tweeted.
"This tweet is driving the libs insane. I think you know why," he added in another post.
\u201cThis tweet is driving the libs insane. I think you know why. \ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffb\u201d— Dan Bongino (@Dan Bongino) 1686052613
Novelist Stephen King replied to Bongino by saying, "You used the word 10 times in one sentence. Sounds like you're the one who's obsessed."
"Truth hurts. That's why he writes fiction," Bongino responded.
\u201cTruth hurts. That\u2019s why he writes fiction.\u201d— Dan Bongino (@Dan Bongino) 1686041180
Bongino has blasted King in the past, tweeting comments such as, "Does your momma tell people her kid perished in a fire rather than acknowledge your sorry existence? After spawning you, is she horrified? Does that pain fuel your perverted stories?"
Many Americans are disturbed by the left's relentless crusade to foist LGBT ideology on children through books, drag events, children's shows, and in the classroom. Debate also continues to rage over whether gender-transition measures such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries should be permitted for minors.
"That the left is absolutely obsessed with discussing sex with your kids, says EVERYTHING you need to know. Sick," Bongino tweeted last week.
"Libs cannot stop obsessing over talking about sex to your kids. It’s the freakiest thing I've ever seen. They're passionate about it. They obsess over it daily. It's not an accident either. It's all part of their plan," he tweeted.

Conservative commentator Dan Bongino lambasted Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California, describing him as a "piece of human waste" while asserting that the congressman's relatives should renounce their relationship with him.
"This piece of human waste will do, or say, anything to abuse his power and burn this country to the ground. He's absolute garbage and he has zero dignity. People like him make the world an ugly place. He's a slob who’s family should renounce any relationship to him," Bongino wrote when retweeting a post in which the congressman discussed special counsel John Durham's report regarding the Trump-Russia investigation.
\u201cThis piece of human waste will do, or say, anything to abuse his power and burn this country to the ground. He\u2019s absolute garbage and he has zero dignity. People like him make the world an ugly place. He\u2019s a slob who\u2019s family should renounce any relationship to him. \ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffb\ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffb\u201d— Dan Bongino (@Dan Bongino) 1684365669
"The Durham investigation was flawed from the start. It began for a political purpose - to satisfy Trump. It resulted in two spectacular failures at trial. And ended with nothing to show for four years of effort. Bottom line: FBI had a good reason to investigate - Durham didn't," a Schiff tweet reads.
"You're a disgusting piece of garbage, and an embarrassment to this country," Bongino wrote to Schiff. "No sane person takes you seriously. The damage you've done to this country is incalculable. If there's a Hell, I'm sure you'll be in it."
\u201c@RepAdamSchiff You\u2019re a disgusting piece of garbage, and an embarrassment to this country. No sane person takes you seriously. The damage you\u2019ve done to this country is incalculable.

Schiff announced earlier this year that he is running for U.S. Senate.
Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida has put forward a resolution to oust Schiff from the House.
"Adam Schiff lied to the American people. He used his position on House Intelligence to push a lie that cost American taxpayers millions of dollars and abused the trust placed in him as Chairman. He is a dishonor to the House of Representatives," Luna said, according to a press release. "The Durham Report makes clear that the Russian Collusion was a lie from day one and Schiff knowingly used his position in an attempt to divide our country."

Popular conservative commentator Dan Bongino has been unleashing attacks against renowned writer Stephen King in response to the novelist's jabs about Bongino's career.
Each day, Bongino posts a tweet describing President Joe Biden as "the WORST president in US history."
King responded to Bongino's May 1 post by tweeting, "And you're out of a job at Fox. Biden still has his."
"Yeah dude, working six days a week, doing a top-ten podcast, a nationally syndicated radio show, managing billion dollar tech investments, and finishing off another book made me reevaluate my work schedule. But keep b****ing and moaning like a chump on Twitter while we use you for comedy relief in show material. #Dip****," Bongino fired back.
Last month, Bongino announced that he would no longer be doing his weekly show on the Fox News Channel because he and the company had been unable to come to terms regarding an extension.
\u201cYeah dude, working six days a week, doing a top-ten podcast, a nationally syndicated radio show, managing billion dollar tech investments, and finishing off another book made me reevaluate my work schedule. But keep bitching and moaning like a chump on Twitter while we use you\u2026\u201d— Dan Bongino (@Dan Bongino) 1682952628
But the Twitter back-and-forth between King and Bongino did not end there.
"Today is May 7th, and Joe Biden is the WORST president in US history," Bongino tweeted on Sunday.
King replied, "At least he has a job."
"Yeah, you're right douchebag, unemployment has been rough for me. I've tried to cope each morning at 11a on my show (job?) with my millions of viewers. And then, I cry a lot on hundreds of radio stations nationwide on my other show (job?) from 12-3p while you're eating Ben & Jerry's, living off of your former reputation as a non-a**hole. Now that I've humiliated your dumb a** again, you can go sit down in the corner and cry those delicious liberal tears," Bongino responded.
\u201cYeah, you\u2019re right douchebag, unemployment has been rough for me. I\u2019ve tried to cope each morning at 11a on my show (job?) with my millions of viewers.

"Wah-wah-wah," King replied.
"Keep crying you chump. Does your momma tell people her kid perished in a fire rather than acknowledge your sorry existence? After spawning you, is she horrified? Does that pain fuel your perverted stories?" Bongino tweeted.

On Wednesday, King responded to a tweet in which Bongino described the president as "a disgrace to humankind" and "an embarrassment to the human race in every respect."
"Yes. But he's got a real job, not a podcast," King tweeted.
"Yeah, you're right. Millions of listeners a day on a podcast while you're watching porn in your momma's basement yearning for the days that people actually gave a s*** about your dumb a**. Nice comeback dip****. Get a job loser," Bongino wrote in response.
\u201c@StephenKing Yeah, you\u2019re right. Millions of listeners a day on a podcast while you\u2019re watching porn in your momma\u2019s basement yearning for the days that people actually gave a shit about your dumb ass. Nice comeback dipshit. Get a job loser.\u201d— Dan Bongino (@Dan Bongino) 1683720930
"Please tag @StephenKing in all future tweets about Biden. He loves it," Bongino tweeted on Thursday.
