MAGA Has Taken Over, And The Media Knows It (Ep. 2374)

Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. You know, thank you to the Chad Crew, to the McGrawing Crew and everyone else in a Bongino Army, rocking a Bongino Army shirt today. I so I need to just put up in there. We are the news now, and folks, we are.

We are the news now. Even the lefties are recognizing it. I wake up this morning and I see this article, someone sent to me from The Guardian, which is a pretty far left leaning rag The Guardian. This is no conservative

They mentioned the Banjino Army in there, of course, this show, and it's the show's about you. And us, the Oven, Joe Rogan, how they call it the Rogan Sphere, is basically taken over. And they are. We are the news now. But one of the reasons we're the news on this show is because I always promise you, you will be weeks and months ahead of the news cycle. Did I not tell you the other day?

that the left was going to reorganize quickly. Don't get too crazy. The cannibalism theory, yes, works. They're all still eating each other alive. You probably saw that jank thing with Alan Lickman less, and I hope I get to it. But they're still sniping at each other, but they're reorganizing. And I told you the new narrative was going to be, well, Donald Trump may have swept every swing state, kicked our ass in a popular vote, and taken a few Senate seats with him.

But he didn't get to 50 percent. It was 49.999962. I told you and it's already here. Do you think they're going to you think back off? No, they are getting ready to double down. Stay tuned. Big show for you today. Hey, it's time for you to be awake. Not woke. Start your day with the official coffee of the Banjino army blackout coffee. This is their ready to drink. Skip the brew, which is adored by my cruise.

especially Justin who likes it a little too much. He loves to skip the bro, but the coffee is amazing too. Why? They use premium grade coffee beans. Sometimes you drink a lot of smoke coffee. Those those beans, honestly, they're shit. They're terrible beans. This is premium grade coffee beans. Skip the long lines at the store and order online. Folks of blackout coffee ship within 48 hours of roasting. It's incredible.

blackoutcoffee.com slash Bongino. See what I'm talking about. They're the real deal. Stop drinking woke corporate junk coffee, drink blackout. It is fantastic. Try the cinnamon French toast flavor. It is amazing. I got a lot of female feedback on that blackout coffee.com slash Bongino or use coupon code Bongino for 20% off your first order. Make the switch to black out coffee. The official coffee of the Bongino army

All right, fellas, let's go. I told you that another BS liberal narrative, one stay reorganized, which is starting, which is starting. They're starting now to like get it together a little bit. They're getting ready to pick a new DNC chairman. They're not going to sit back for long. And you want to know why? It's obvious. This isn't like some Dan Bongino stidgy and witches moment.

Folks, you have a lot of people with a lot of interest in state. You've got green lobbyists who are getting billions of dollars from taxpayers for garbage, you know, cow farting projects that are never going to work. You think they're going to let Trump dried at gravy train for themselves up without a fight? Hell no. They sit there. They lick their chops. They're up and they're getting ready to fight again, but they need a narrative.

You understand they need a guiding narrative to tell the public why they're doing what they're doing. Why? Why? Again, it's obvious. They got their asses kicked. It's kind of hard to go back to the public and say, hey, look, we have a popular mandate to steal your tax dollars and give them the cow farting projects when you just got your asses kicked in every single swing state.

So they need a story. And what do I always tell you? The left is good at creating a story, but they're never good at telling you the story. There's a difference. They'll tell you a story, but they will never tell you the story.

Here is, I don't know, I never really understood where this woman's coming from. She's a talking point queen. Here it is, whenever you want to see where the left is going to go with a new talking point, I strongly encourage you to listen to Jessica Tarlov on the five. I know it's hard. She is the queen of talking points. I don't know who feeds them to her if she reads them in playbook in the morning, but you can always see the direction the left wing focus group is going to go. Here she is telling you exactly what I said they were going to say.

Oh, this wasn't a mandate. He didn't get 50.1% of the vote. So none of this stuff really matters anymore. Watch, watch. Your boy was ahead of this. Check this out. Darlof, yes. One thing, though, that I, and I'm not saying that there isn't a lot of work to do because there absolutely is. For people who are talking about this as if we got completely decimated, the numbers don't bear that out. So Trump didn't cross 50%.

of the popular vote. So the majority of Americans didn't vote for him. And Senate Democrats performed really well. So people like Ruben Gaiago, Tammy Baldwin, Jackie Rosen in Nevada, they ran seven, eight points ahead of Kamala Harris, which is what was predicted. And that does show that this normy coalition can't exist. It was that Trump had a special sauce at the top of the ticket for a lot of people. Did we not say it?

Did we not say that it doesn't matter what Trump does? 2016 he wins the electoral college. No good. Despite the fact that's how federalism works. No, no, no, he didn't win a popular vote. Trump wins a popular vote. He didn't win a popular vote by enough.

There is nothing this guy can do to convince these people on the left because they're not interested in evidence. You understand? If Trump would have won 51% of the popular vote, what do you think they would have said, folks? Folks in the chat, you know, you know, well, he didn't win like Reagan. He didn't win 49 states. Folks, this is a completely different country than it was in 1988 with monopolistic media control. It's totally different right now.

You have two divided factions in almost no middle anymore. It's a different country to win every single swing state and resoundingly win the popular vote. If you're not categorizing that as an electoral mandate for the mega vision of the country, then you're just an idiot or you're a hack. You pick.

It's not just her. Here's Harry Ant and on CNN who, you know, usually tells the truth and his numbers are accurate. I don't want to knock his numbers. But again, they're cherry picking data here to make it seem that this electoral slaughter that just happened wasn't. Why? Think behind the scenes.

Follow the money, folks. Always. There are people right now who have been benefiting and suckling at the teat of government for the last four years under Biden. The gravy train is about to dry up.

green industries, fabs, people who benefited from the inflation production act, the chips act where you paid billion dollar companies your tax dollars to boost their stock price. It's all going to dry up. You think they're going to go down without a fight? They need a narrative and a narrative is Trump isn't that popular. It's time to start fighting back here. Watch this.

popular vote victory ranks 44 at a 51. That ain't exactly strong. Some might argue that is week, week, week in the words of Tony Blair. In fact, his popular vote win at this point is the weakest going all the way back. You have to go all the way back to 2000 to find a weaker one, a smaller popular vote victory than Donald Trump currently has.

I told you that's what's going to happen. They're going to get now. Keep in mind when Barack Obama won a similar victory, it was the greatest electoral mandate ever. I warned you about this stuff. Again, they're going to continue to move the goal post. If they mysteriously found a million new votes, Democrat staff, Donald Trump, and he did win 51% of the vote, I promise you they'd move the metric again and say,

Well, Barack Obama got 51.11. It doesn't matter. What's the lesson for you here going forward? There are powerful forces with a lot of money working against you to move the MAGA agenda and flush it down the toilet. We're not going to let it happen. The mandate is real. You showed up. You brought 10 people. And who's chiming in now, too?

You see how when the left puts their little like tentacles out there with a narrative, everybody scoops it up like an octopus. Everybody takes it and runs with it. Tarlov CNN. Oh, look, here's Alexander Soros. Soros's kid. It is not a powerful mandate. And the numbers are important.

This was a close election, not a surprise. It was not a close election, dude. The election was over if you knew what you were talking about by 9 o'clock that night. He got his ass kicked. Oh, she got her ass kicked in this thing, period. Trump wiped out the Democrats nearly everywhere. And if it wasn't for California scamming and all this other stuff with their counting votes, Arizona and California, 700 days after the election,

This would have been an even more resounding house victory. And by the way, one thing the left isn't telling you. The only reason the house is even close is because scamming in California, endless vote counting in these districts, and also because they gerrymandered a couple of states everywhere from Alabama to New York. And then they complain about it when the same thing happens in a Republican state. That's the only reason they're even close.

Don't believe the BS, folks. The mandate is real and a more bad news from the Democrats. Look at this tweet here about this polling data. Folks, this does not look good for them going forward. Puck news, which again, some like far right leaning Allen, embracing new poll for Democrats, voters approve of the Trump transition. Yes.

GOP is now more popular than Democrat party. Yes. Most Democrats want to move past Kamala. I actually think that's a bad thing. I think you should nominate Kamala again. She was a wonderful candidate. Best I've ever seen. Oh, look.

Kamala Hilary, I gee said it right. Kamala Hilary, 2028, gee, I am all in. Michael's going to get the pack going today. Kamala Hilary pack, we're all going to make donations, run ads to get them the run again. Oh, here's another one. Podcast boosted Donald Trump. Donald Trump at the end did about five or six podcasts.

He did Theo Von, he did Joe Rogan, he did my show, Aiden Ross and The Undertaker in a wrestling show and maybe one or two more. And you know what? He won. Why? Because we're only 11 minutes and two seconds into the show and there's 128,000 people rising by hundreds by the second here. We're talking to a major football stadium every day and millions on demand.

Here, this last part's important too. Puck news, only 12% of voters pay for news. You know, I get this a lot. They say, Dan, a lot of people in the business have asked me to go behind a paywall, fully behind a paywall. In other words, you'd have to pay to get my content.

Listen, I will, there's always going to be some stuff there and it's extra stuff I do for the hardcore P1s. I have my locals and others, but this show, this show, the Dan Bongino show, this weekday podcast is going to be free. Why? Because folks, only one out of 10 people is really willing to put those are like the hardcore P1s if you're a business person. And I appreciate that.

But this show is going to stay free. And that's why we're reaching, you know, now 130,000 people. And they're not. Folks, as Anita posted this morning, we are the news now. And don't you forget it.

because cutesy time is over and we led the way and a lot of people are recognizing that folks cutesy time is over I'll say again today on Wednesday people are policy and it is time for us because we are the news to double down on the MAGA agenda don't believe the left wing bullshit oh my gosh you guys didn't really have a mandate if you believe that I'm serious listen to me right now

You're a freaking imbecile. You cannot read tea leaves and you're just going to get smoked again. You want to keep it up with the transgender bathroom stuff. You want to keep it up with the porn in schools and the open border stuff and all the weak, you know, foreign policy stuff and all this other, you know, weakness on the national stage. You go right ahead, but you're going to get your ass handed to you again in the next election. Cutesy time is over.

The cultural shift is happening. Folks, how many of you in the chat followed Andrew Breitbart when he was still with us? Breitbart was, I didn't know him. I met him one time at CPAC in, gosh, 2010 maybe, I don't know, 2011. He was sitting there at a table talking to Ted Cruz, and my campaign manager introduced me to him. He's not a very nice guy, but

If you knew Andrew Breitbart, the eponymously named Breitbart.com site, Breitbart was a very insightful guy. Breitbart understood something before a lot of people did that you can argue about politics all day. But if you don't change the culture, the American voter culture, the politics are irrelevant. You're just going to keep voting for the same old idiots. In other words, if you don't change the way people think, it doesn't matter how they think about voting. Does that make sense?

The cultural shift has to change. And there's been a culture of fear. I don't want to get too deep because I don't want to bore you guys if I am in the chat, say STF you, you know what that means. Say, Dan, shut up, move on. There's been a culture of fear and I know you felt it. It's about

It's gone on for decades, but it's been really intense for about the last 10 years. This culture of fear, I know you felt it. And I'm not saying you didn't override it and flip the lefties, the double barrel middle finger.

But there was a culture of fear about putting a MAGA hat on in public, especially in cities. There was this culture of fear, like if I post online that a man can't be a woman, am I going to get banned? I know you felt it. Again, I'm not saying you didn't. A lot of you just did the right thing. I mean, we've never wavered on this stuff. That's why I was banned from YouTube.

You know, they told me on YouTube, remember that email with that Coco lady? You remember that key? They were like, you can't say mass don't work. So we went on the air the next day on YouTube and said mass don't work and they banned us from the platform. So listen, bona fides matter. We did it.

But that fear culture is now, you're seeing it in record time, completely evaporate. That's why the Trump dance thing is so important. Folks, it's funny, it's silly, it's not a big deal what they're doing, but it is a big deal what they're doing.

They're changing the culture of fear to a culture of pride. Hey, we're on the right side of this and we're proud of it. I just want you to watch this. This is this soccer side. I don't follow soccer. So, as shamefully, I don't really know this guy. Yes, I maybe I should, but it's the best. I don't, yeah, good. I don't really, I don't follow soccer, but he looks like a pretty cool cat and I love him even more now. Look at him doing the Trump dance. I love this guy. What is his name?

Polsick and sorry, I don't know if I don't know. I'll tell you I'm not gonna push it. But this guy, I love this guy. We're big fans. We're huge fans. Can you send us an autograph jersey? Would you mind? So if anybody knows this guy, Polsick, if you have an autograph jersey, we would, I'll pay for it. We'll put it up in the new studio. This, it's everywhere.

The NFL, what were they doing? They were kneeling with, remember Colin Kaepernick with the socks with the cops to pick that his pigs? Now what is everybody doing? Now they're doing the Trump dance, black, white, Hispanic, Asian. It is beautiful to see, man. The culture is changing. Shockingly.

It's even starting to change on Capitol Hill, where you know the golden rule of Republicans applies. What's the golden rule of Republicans on Capitol Hill? Anyone in the chat? Bring it, don't sing it, or sing it and bring it. What's the golden rule? Most Republicans on Capitol Hill are what? Who's going to get it first? Let me buy Trump dances everywhere. Oh, we got a Trump dance emoji?

Who's going to get it? Most Republicans, most of who, Blair is BLA, RIZ says they are, yes, most Republicans on Capitol Hill are Democrats.

No Democrats on Capitol Hill are really Republicans. You remember that golden rule. You will never be disappointed. But even there, the culture is starting to change. Don't get involved with the emotions with these people. You view every member of Congress like a spreadsheet. They do something that's a plus one. Excellent. Thumbs up. They do something that's a negative one. What do we do? We go out there and we call it out and we don't give a shit if you're a Republican or a Democrat.

Here's Speaker Johnson. There's something going on right now up on Capitol Hill. I need you guys because I'm going to keep you ahead of the news cycle. Awesome. I'm being dramatic. It's kind of in the news cycle. But Evita, I know you've been following this story too. There is a trans member of Congress who was a man, a man. Okay.

is a man and is absolutely a man, okay? Like a biological man in every sense of the word, a man. You don't need the biological man, okay? What happened is now, because the left understands like the culture war in the past better than we did, they're trying to set a trap for Republicans. Republicans, how are you going to refer to this member of Congress?

The individual is a man. Now, typically, members of Congress would freak out, oh, my gosh, you're going to ask me about mass, the COVID vaccine. You're going to ask me about men versus women. I can't talk about that. The Wuhan Warhol, my gosh, because they're really Democrats, but the culture is changing.

Here's Speaker Johnson on the trap they're setting yesterday, because he gave a little bit of like a wishy washy answer. And then I think he realized like, ah, probably wasn't a, and then he came back to the microphone and this happened. This one make a statement for all of you here and be very clear. I was asked a question this morning at the leadership gaggle and I rejected the premise because the answer is, is so obvious.

For anybody who doesn't know my well-established record on this issue, let me be unequivocally clear. A man is a man, and a woman is a woman, and a man cannot become a woman. That said, I also believe, that's what's good for teachers, what I just said, but I also believe that we treat everybody with dignity. And so we can do and believe all those things at the same time, and I wanted to make that clear for everybody because there's lots of questions, but that's where I stand. I've stood there my whole life, and those are facts.

Folks, none of this is hard. None of this is hard. What he just said there is correct. You're telling me your name is Sarah? That's your name. Don't ask me to call you a woman. You're not a woman. You're a man. And I'm not going to do that. And I'm not going to address you as a woman. You want to, I don't care where you go. That's fine. I don't make anybody feel bad. You got your thing. I got my thing. You do you.

Do not, there's no circumstance I am gonna call you a woman. You are not. You were asking me to believe something and tell my audience something that is not true. It is not true in any way, in any way. From the DNA upward, it's not happening on this show. Finally, you're seeing the culture change. He just said it right. Can you imagine in the 90s play in this video, people be scratching their heads like,

What the hell are they even talking about? It was so obvious. They're setting a trap every single day. There's going to be a new thing about bathrooms. How do you address this individual? It's really simple. You put it to bed from the start, just like that. Of course, Nancy, Nancy Mace introduced a piece of legislation that men will use the men's room and women and the women's room. Again, why this is controversial? I don't know. I don't know.

You have the equipment, you go in that room, you don't have that equipment, you have different equipment, you go in everything, it's hard. And because Nancy Mayce happens to be a woman, you would think they would support her, defending women, the right to privacy in norm bathrooms. Oh no, oh no, they're attacking Nancy Mayce. You know what, let me play that video quick, so I don't get to that, I'll take it, but I know I'm running a little behind, but this is important.

Here's Nancy Mase on what's going on with this bill to keep the trans member of Congress in the bathrooms with a belong and with men and women with women. I know this is hard, folks. Watch this. The question is, with your piece of legislation about banning women from using my question to you. It doesn't go far enough. I'll be filing more bills.

You have said that it was created in response to Congresswoman-elect McBride. I was going to say 100%. Or should legislation be created targeted at one specific person? It doesn't mention anyone in the legislation. But you've said it was aimed at her. No, I have said it's a result of this. I'm not going to allow biological men into women's private spaces. I will stand in the brink and stand in the way of anyone on the radical left who thinks that it's OK for a penis to be in a women's locker room or a bathroom or a changing room. Hell, no. I'm not going to stand for it.

Good for you again. If you've got a dong, women's bed to his data margin. He's got the data, but he's definitely not a margin. If you're posted here, I'm not sure that your Wi-Fi signal goes that far.

Folks, this is not hard. You see how when you start to wave around this? Reminds me of an interview I did yesterday with Sean Davis on the radio. Sean Davis was talking about the bedwetters in the middle. How once they think they can scare you, you better call a man or a woman. They'll keep pressuring you. Once you're clear on it, there's nothing left to say. I am not calling a woman a man or a man or a woman, period, under any circumstances. That's it.

That's it. I'm not interested in your pronouns. I'm interested in how pronouns work. Tell me your name, fine, whatever. The culture's changing, man. This era of our truth and my truth is giving way to an era of the truth. And you should be proud to be a part of it.

Hi, folks. Quick break. I'm going to get back to the show. And I'm going to show you now how the Democrats, like I told you, they're reorganizing and they're doubling down on crazy. You thought they were going to change your nuts. Hey, it's been a tough year for a lot of us impacted by emergencies. There have been some really nasty hurricanes you've seen, storms, with emergencies all over the world. And the thing about emergencies is they happen typically without notice. Folks, you saw that with some of these hurricanes and floods where people didn't expect it.

The last thing you want is you get an infection and the pharmacies either wiped out, closed or locked up, and you're in real trouble. Listen, I sadly have personal experience with this over the last few weeks. I told you, I got bit by something. True story, and I had this, my hand looked like a damn boxing club.

You're seeing it right now. The days of my truth and our truth are coming to an end.

But it is time for us to all double down. What you saw happen there with Speaker Johnson has to happen with every member of Congress moving forward. You've got soccer players doing the dance, NFL players doing the dance. The thing about the culture changing is we got to reach that tipping point and requires us not to get complacent. Some of you may fairly enough be saying, damn, we just won the election a couple weeks ago. Can we take a break?

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry to tell you this, but we can't. We can't. We don't have time. It is time to push forward with the nominees, with the culture change and everything, because they're going to lose their minds. I want you to watch this Jennifer room. This is quick.

Jennifer Rubin is a lunatic who writes over at The Washington Post was a podcast. Again, do you think there's going to be a moment of self-reflection? They're already telling themselves there's no mandate. Trump basically won by accident. They're implying it at least. And now they're getting ready to double down on crazy again. Here she is. She wants to be pithy and short about what Republicans really stand for. Oh, she is. Check this out.

You have to be pithy. What do I mean by pithy? How about this? Republicans want to kill your kids. It's actually true. If there's a human being on planet Earth outside of Scaramucci, that Trump broke, it's Jennifer Rubin. That's probably the craziest thing you're going to hear all year. But Jennifer Rubin actually believes it. And I play it as a corrective.

so that we're now, you know, two plus weeks past the election. I want to ensure that no one gets cocky and thinks, oh, you know, they're just going to, you know, all dance off into the night and go away the liberals and leave us alone. They will not. We're winning. We're in one of those back and forth battles where, you know, both sides kind of think they lost one point, but we kept going. They're going to get their breath. They're already doing it.

Here, this is the crazy now. I told you a couple of weeks ago, after the election, when you were going to see a schism on the left, you were going to see people like Jank from the Young Turks.

who was on my show, very liberal guy, very popular podcast, who if you follow him on Twitter, like I've been found, you can see he's trying to tell his fellow Democrats, you guys are crazy. We're losing it right now, but that's the one wing of the party that realized they've got a problem. But I warned you that the other wing of the party, the crazies, we're not only going to get not less crazy, sorry for the triple quadruple double negative, but we're going to get crazier.

They were going to double down and say like Bernie Sanders and AOC are and they were going to say something to the effect of, Hey man, we just weren't liberal enough. We just weren't, we need more porn in schools. Here's Julie Reginski, another one who's like seriously like I'm not.

I remember her from Fox, some of the dumbest talking points you've ever heard in your life. Here she is on CNN. She's convinced. I want you to listen to this whole thing because they believe this that the military is getting ready to come the round people up at gunpoint under the Trump era. Now, when none of this happens, she will never apologize, but they actually believe this.

This is the left wing crazy portion of the crazy party. Check this out.

about the criminals from being about the cameras about the kind of how do you sort of all that's the problem i don't know but i can tell you that there is a government that i can tell you have to figure it out okay but i'm telling you right now practically speaking is that there will be people american citizens who will prevent these little kids from being dragged out of these shelters

there are and what's going to happen to these people what is going to happen to the military when the military opens fire

Do you understand how insane that is? This woman, she listened to me. I've met this woman before. We're not friends. I'm telling you, she believes this, that the United States military is going to start opening fire on people. It doesn't matter how many times borders are Tom Holman. Because folks, listen, this just is the true show. It's not the bullshit show. I tell you the story, not a story.

Deporting 12 million people at once is not logistically possible. It's not. There's just, I wish they weren't here illegally. Unfortunately, they are. We have to prioritize the most dangerous people first. Holman's a diehard on the border, but he understands logistics wise that

I know that there you go. There's Scott Jennings, like I can't believe I got to sit on the panel with this imbecile. That is, that's all of America right now. It's certainly the Banjino army. Maybe we should create an emoji.

That is, that's all of America. They believe this, man. They absolutely promise you, she believes this, that the American military is going to come in there. Holman is said repeatedly, we are going to prioritize the murderers, the rapists, the drug dealers. And then we're going to, we're going to do our best to get everyone here illegally out. You're not going to get every, they're still coming in. No matter how secure your border, you're still going to have some people who sneak in.

It doesn't matter. Julie, they're putting, and the reason I put that out there is the far lefty, crazy people listen to this, so you can expect them to keep up the nonsense and the craziness. If you thought they were gonna back off, you're out of your mind. Listen, the Banjino Army is strong, folks. I'm gonna take a quick break here, but I wanna thank you. I know I thank you a lot. We were number two yesterday. We lost out to the space launch on a live stream. So, but it was still an impressive showing. I appreciate it. But I've been getting a lot of calls from a lot of people.

I'm obviously not going to say who, but this has happened, and I want to make sure you hear it. You listening? A lot of people who are going into the Trump administration or expected to are really grateful for one year support, your support of President Trump, your votes, and they're really grateful that you're pushing for them. They are really grateful. I mean, really grateful. They know what you guys mean and matter, and they know you guys matter. So I deeply appreciate it, and so do they.

Having said that, I think the tide is turning. You're making a difference, and I think some of these senators are getting a message. Last break, and I'll show you what I mean. I'm going to play a clip. This is crazy by Lindsey Graham, who's not really known as like the most die-hard conservative guy, but folks, he has a vote, and he does run a very moderate wing of the Republican Party.

Okay, folks, your wake-up calls to certain members of Congress on the Senate side have been working. You've been letting them know you matter. The Bongino Army is strong and growing. Here is Lindsey Graham. Obviously not a die-hard member of the Tea Party MAGA movement, but here he is on Gates. And as I keep saying, don't get him. I know a lot of you in the chat. Damn, I get it. I get it. We're not looking to date the guy. We need a plus one right now. What's the plus one?

his vote on Gates. That's what we need. We need it. It's not an option. We need it. We can't lose anybody. We've already got an issue with these confirmation numbers. Okay. Here's Graham on Gates. And this is at least a positive sign. Plus one for now. Check this out. Nobody should be disqualified because of a media report. It's more than it's an investigation by the department. You want the bipartisan effort and they didn't proceed forward.

It's a positive sign. It's a positive sign. I'm not telling you we're not going to keep our eyes on it because we're going to. But folks, what's happening to Gates right now, Matt Gates, who is Trump's nominee for Attorney General, is straight up bullshit, man. It's just bullshit. I'm sorry.

Look at the dot tree. Eric Daughtry, who we love has a really great tweet on us. You think Matt Gaetz is the only member of Congress who's been the subject to some investigation and no charges were ever filed in this case.

Marjorie Taylor Greene just said, if Gates' ethics report is released, so should every other damning government file? What about the Epstein tapes? What about ethics reports on other members? What about sexual harassment claims? Folks, you know, you want a priest go to church, you want people who are going to do conservative stuff, then get the most conservative guy. Says, if we're going to dance, let's all dance in the sunlight. I'll make sure we do. Yeah, let's do it. You want to target Gates? Fine.

Target gates, but let's see what everybody else has too. Folks, we need this vote. We need this vote badly. We've got to get this guy in here. By the way, here's another one. I love this from Daughtry. Breaking hacker obtains transcripts of testimony damaging to Matt Gates, New York Times. Where am I going with this? A hacker? Oh, yeah, sure.

You're telling me this wasn't another inside job. This was a hacker. If you believe this, folks, I got a bridge over there in Palm City to join a neighborhood. I'll sell you on the cheap. There is zero chance. This was a hacker zero chance. Someone's releasing damning testimony for a reason.

We need more balls up on Capitol Hill. Push ahead, foot on the gas pedal. There's no time for halfway nonsense. It's time to go for it. We've got a two-year window, not four. It's a four-year till I get it. The midterms are going to be tough. We've got two years. We need more of this stuff.

Check this out. This is Eli Crane. Eli Crane is a great congressman. He's looking into the Secret Service, the breakdown and security for you. Here's Eli Crane. He's given a speech up on Capitol Hill about basically a concealed carry, the Second Amendment, and of course, some lady comes in there and tries to interrupt them. This is exactly the kind of attitude we need going forward. I love this clip. Check this out.

And this is just beautiful watching this heckler and protester over here who doesn't want to hear our argument. She just wants to be loud and annoying. Well, congratulations, ma'am. You have been 100% effective. Yeah. Now you don't want to hear our arguments. So you just sit here and run your mouth. You just run your mouth and you're loud. Yeah. Yeah, you are. We're actually we're actually talking to the American people here. Thank you. Yeah. So am I.

Maybe you should read the Constitution. Because, yeah, I have read it. And we have a right to bear and keep arms. And you don't want to see that continue anymore. I love me, Samilai Crane. I only play that because that's the attitude going forward, folks. No more bullshit, no more halfway nonsense. It is time for us to floor the gas pedal. The swampy's have told us for years.

Nominate a Mitt Romney. Give us a Jeff Flake and Adam Kinsinger and everything will be okay and it wasn't. And it wasn't. We failed. They have now changed the coalition of the Republican Party going forward and you did it. And we did it because we've acted with some balls. Full steam ahead. Bonjino Army, I need your help here too. Been asking for a couple of days.

Cat turd, by the way, huge hat tip to cat turd who's been helping us out with Cash Patel. And let me just address something up front. A few people have reached out fairly enough and said, hey Dan, why are we pushing this now? Christopher Ray, the current failed FBI director's term, goes through, what is it, 2027?

Trump can fire Christopher Ray, just like he fired Comey. I don't mean he sound like an asshole, I'm sorry, I'm not sure if the people email me know that. Trump has not obligated to keep Christopher Ray, and the rumor mill from very serious people is that Christopher Ray, the current FBI director, who's a failed, I mean, failed almost as bad as Comey, is going to leave.

We've got to have a guy ready to go and it should be public right away. I'm telling you that guy is Cash Patel. With every fiber of my DNA, Cash is the guy. Cash knows where the bodies are buried. He was a major figure in breaking up the spygate operation and exposing the Russian collusion hoax. And my opinion, he's the only guy for the job. We need Cash Patel.

I don't know when that announcement's gonna come out. It's obviously Donald Trump's choice.

That folks, the team really loves you guys, the Trump team. They really appreciate your support, your voice matters, and I'm sure on social media it does make a difference. Cash is the guy. I wanted to play this clip again from him on the Sean Ryan Show, another terrific podcast, talking about FBI spying. I told you yesterday how cash gets it that the FBI took too big of a footprint in intelligence and forgot their criminal role.

Now we hear he is on spine. This is his own words. This guy absolutely gets it. We don't get this guy and we get, you know, an establishment hack, you're going to get more Christopher Ray Comey stuff. Watch this. Chris Ray was caught last year illegally using 702 collection methods against Americans, 274,000 times.

274,000 times. It's not my number. It's in the report that they wrote. The FISA court wrote it. And then the FISA court, and there was this big fight about 702 reauthorization, and I might not be appealing to your audience, but it was a big fight this year to say we want FISA reform, and FISA did need reform. We exposed it, and we gave you a bunch of reforms during Russia game, and it never got implemented.

So because the budget of FISA was up, this cycle, we demanded Congress fix it. And do you know what the majority in the House, where the Republicans did? They bent the knee. They re-offed it. Why? Why? I don't know, ask them. And they said, oh, no, we're just doing it for another year. We're just going to kick the can down the road. I'm like, OK, so the other year you're doing it for is an election year. We showed you how they abuse FISA once already.

And then now you know about Chris Ray and all these other fires abuses, but you trust the director of the FBI. This guy, Chris Ray, who went before you and said, no, don't worry, we fixed everything. We're good. And they gave him more spy powers. I can't answer that one. And I couldn't, I couldn't get on board with that, that legislative fix.

Listen, it's rare for me to make such a passionate appeal to you guys about a nominee. Folks, this is the guy. If we eff up the FBI Director's spot, Ray is going to be gone. There's no way he's staying. He's going to be fired. He's going to leave. Cash has so many people so scared on the inside that if you believe in me at all,

and what I'm telling you. And you remember my golden rule. Measure the effectiveness of a nominee or a policy by the reaction of your political enemies. They are melting down over cash. Now, I have to warn you about something. Turn it up. Turn it up. This is really important. There are people out there on X right now, the world's most powerful news platform. No question about it.

They are anonymous accounts, anonymous in that you don't know their real names. They have some picture up and it says like, whatever, X-man or whatever it may be. I'm not even gonna say their names, but if you're following on Twitter, you know who they are. I promise you, these are plants. They are either left-wing or deep-state plant accounts who are trying to sabotage people like Flynn, people like Patel,

Why do you think they're doing that? I give you a simple test. If you're on Twitter, you know what I'm talking about. Ignore these people. They are lying to you. They are working against you and for the deep state. Here's a simple test. Send them a DM if you can. These anonymous accounts claiming cash. Oh, we don't want cash. We don't want Mike, these are terrible guys. Just send them a simple question. Say, what's your name?

I absolutely guarantee you they either don't answer what they make some John Brown. Why won't they tell you their names? You know my name. I am publicly on my, my name is my birth name is Daniel John Bongino. That's my name. Look it up. You're listening to the Dan Bongino show. I'm telling you on my honor, Cash Patel's the guy. Why can't those people do that?

There is an enormous deep state effort to stop cash from getting this job because they are terrified. He's going to be the one with the keys to the kingdom. And I don't mean the good kingdom. I mean the kingdom of shit that led to the collusion hoax and spy gate. Please trust me. It is very sophisticated. It is an op. Enough said. I don't want to beat this thing to death. It's an op.

I'm absolutely sure of it. Just ask them. Folks, people are policy. People are policy. That's why they're focusing their ire on gates, on HEGSAS, on cash, on Tom Homan. Here's Tom Homan on the border. Some of these local liberal mayors are now claiming that they're going to obstruct

federal immigration agents from deportations of people who broke an alarm in the country illegally. Home and psych, oh, really? Okay, you go ahead and do that because, you know, that's a violation of the law, too. Ladies and gentlemen, cutesy time is over. You want to obstruct and get in the way? Okay, fine. You go ahead and do that. You may find yourself in jail, though. Don't listen to me. Listen to him. Check this out.

Defending our residents every possible way. Well, she's not very smart. I'll give her that because I just what I just said is President Trump's going to prioritize public safety threats. What mayor or governor doesn't want public safety threats out of their communities? Man, that's your number one responsibility to protect your communities. And that's exactly what we're going to do. So she helps us. She gets the hell out of the way because they're going to do it. And look, there's a clear line here and they can't cross a clear line. I would suggest she read title eight in the United States called 1324 Triple I.

Folks, this is the kind of talk we need. You want to break the law, you're going to jail. The difference between us and the left is they have to manufacture bullshit against us.

Donald Trump defrauded a bank. Really the banks understand going into fraud us. We love doing business when we'll do it again. They will actually break the lawn, stick it in our face like they did in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. People have to go to jail. That's it. That's the end of that story. I got to play this. Don't go anywhere. I promised you I was going to cover this January 6th pipe bomb bombshell story. Pun believe me intended.

Let me get to it a second. I just want to play this quick with him. Again, with our nominees, it's kind of hilarious how left wing media refers to our nominees, Pete Haggseth. Never, you know, government experience. He's a morning show host. Really, 20 years fighting for the United States and two bronze stars. I'm pretty sure that's government experience. Here's how they refer to Sean Duffy.

who is the nominee for transportation secretary. Hey, I was, I was informed this morning, a five term congressman, a prosecutor, a trained lawyer, and a guy who's only been in the public eye for like 30 years. Here's how Caitlyn Collins, who I want to remind you was the movie critic at the Daily Caller on CNN, refers to the great Sean Duffy, a personal friend and a good, good man. Check this out.

Speaking tonight, another Fox News host has been tapped for Trump's cabinet. What we know about Trump's latest pick, also a former reality show star. Also a former reality show star. Michael, he's done a little couple other things, right? Thanks. He thinks he's not sure. He'll ask him later. He knows him a little bit. Yeah. I think he's done. I think he went to law school. I heard. And he was like a prosecutor thingy or something like Congress, Congress or something like that. Yeah. None of that matters. Reality, reality show.

He's also like a lumberjack and all that. Have you ever seen the video? That's like the funny thing is the guy's recipe so deep. No one even talks about what do you do with it? He like chops trees down like lumber Jesus log rolling and stuff. Don't even forget all that stuff. Whatever man. I'm so sick of the left wing media. The good news Anita posted again. Who's the news now?

the news, kids, wear the news, and they hate us for it. All right, this is an important serious time. Serious hats on, folks. The pipe bomb scandal on January 6th at the DNC building. I'm telling you is the biggest scandal of our time. Are you listening to me? Please tell me you are. I've already told you what I know happened. This was definitely an inside job. They moved Kamala Harris from the Capitol in January 6th to the DNC.

Some insider put a pipe bomb there in case Republicans started making a stink about the certification. They were going to go, stop it. Come on. Harris was almost killed by a magnet. Well, what happened? Well, the riot at the Capitol happened, then they didn't need the pipe bomb story anymore. So they're trying to make it go away. But we

I want to play this again. This is Tom Massey, a great congressman from Kentucky, questioning our failed FBI director that better resign quick about the January 6 pipe bombs and how they don't seem to know anything about it. It's so weird. Check this out.

Director Ray, in light of information provided to us about the FBI's investigation of the January 6 pipe bombs, in an interview with Assistant Director Stephen John Twano, Chairman Jordan and I sent you a letter a month ago. Some of the information that we found in that interview was that phone data that could have helped to identify the pipe bomber was corrupted, was unusable.

He also wasn't sure who found her, how the second bomb was found at the DNC. Do you know how the second bomb was found at the DNC? And when do you plan on answering our letter? Well, as to the letter, I will work with the department to make sure we can figure out what information we can provide. As you know, this is a very active, ongoing investigation, and there are some restrictions on that, but we are not. Yes, we can handle classified information, and we fund your department, and so you need to provide that.

It's not, respectfully, it's not an issue of classification. It's an issue of commenting on ongoing criminal investigations, which is something that, by longstanding department policy, we are restricted in doing it. In fact, the last administration actually strengthened those policies partly because... That's not our policy, though, and we fund you, so let's move on. Do you know how the second pipe bomb was found at the DNC?

Again, I'm not going to get into that here. 900 days ago is when this happened, and you said you had total confidence we'd apprehend the subject.

This is incredible. You're telling me Christopher Ray's FBI, supposedly the premier law enforcement agency anywhere in the known cosmos, right? Crypton, here, earth, anywhere else. Cannot find a guy or a woman who placed a bomb in front of a building with probably 50 cameras watching it. Nobody can find this person who made a cell phone call when the bombs were allegedly planted.

A cell phone that can be traced because they've been the only person around at that time of night by triangulating. Oh, we had the data, but the cell phone company told us the data was corrupted. Oh, looky here. Right after the Trump win, January 6 shocker, just the news. Phone companies dispute the FBI's testimony on the pipe bomb suspect. Key lawmaker reveals. Oh, they have the phone data. Oh, they have it.

This is going to break soon and you are going to have been years ahead of the story. Thanks to Darren Beatty and Julie Kelly and others you've covered this. You are going to be years ahead of this. I'm telling you this is going to break when the Trump administration gets in there with a new FBI director and hopefully a new secret service director that we're on that scene. It is going to break and you are going to find out who this person was and it is going to kick you right in the junk, folks.

This is one of the biggest scandals in US history. And I'm going to tell you, I feel like I know about 90% of it, but I don't know all of it. I'm not an insider. I wasn't there. I didn't plant this scam. But I'm telling you right now, when that other 10% comes out, I wouldn't be surprised if it's even worse than you think.

This is a huge monster scandal and it also speaks to the culture. This phone company was probably terrified. The FBI probably told them, tell us the data is corrupted or we're going to make your life miserable. Now all of a sudden the phone company realized and they have some liability with the new Trump teams. They go, no, no, data's not corrupted. Data's not corrupted.

Folks, this is a huge deal, man. The days of the weaponized police state are over. And another battle we got to take on right away is a battle up against New York State. What's going on with Donald Trump in the system?

this judge merch on yesterday, delaying the case and not dumping this New York case, basically holding the sword of Damocles over Trump's head for four years, saying, hey, I'm not going to sentence you on this fake trial, but we're going to basically wait four years. You know what they're trying to do, right? If Donald Trump goes and deports people from New York.

Alvin Bragg and the judge want, they want basically the sword hanging over Trump's head so he doesn't do it. This cannot happen. We have to go to war with the deep state. And one of the first battles we got to take on is this absolute travesty going on up in New York with the judge that adjourned the case, but won't dismiss it. Here's John Turley, a really smart guy, constitutional attorney on the disgrace of Judge March on up in New York with the Twinkies case. Check this out.

I was surprised and watching the trial to see some of his rulings, which frankly didn't make a lot of sense to me. I thought that he had left layers of reversible error, but none of that can be reviewed until this is finalized.

Now, some have suggested that the judge could just freeze this for the upcoming term, believe it in pendency. I just don't see that type of suspension as a likely or good option. You would have the president's critic saying that he's awaiting sentencing after a jury found him guilty of felonies. They need to have a status where they can appeal this case, including the decisions made by this judge.

Now, it is possible in a week that he could yield to calls for dismissal. You know, many have, including myself, felt that this case should never have been brought, that the judge made an unholy mess of it. In my view, it would be good to send the attractions back to their cages and call this circus over. But I wouldn't necessarily bend the farm on that.

Good analysis by Turley. This has to go. Okay, Guy will not let me leave without playing this clip, folks. And this may be one of the funniest clips you've ever seen in your life. You remember Jank from The Young Turks? Jank, he's a very liberal guy, but he's starting to figure it out that he's on the wrong side of history here, in my humble opinion. He's on Piers Morgan's show with Alan Lichtman, who supposedly has these 13 keys to winning the election. He said Kamala Harris would win. Well, she obviously didn't.

and jankin him go out as my cannibalism theory of the left. This is what I got to play the whole thing. It's about a minute, 50 seconds, but I promise you it's worth your time. Check this out.

Don't blame the voters. I think, look, we can get into this discussion. But Juan, I think you're blaming the voters. I think that's a terrible idea. And look, I debated Professor Lickman before. I told him his theories about the keys were absurd. I was right. He was wrong. I said he'd lose his keys. No, you were not right. And I was not wrong. And that's a cheap shot. And I won't stand for it. Who won brother? Who should not be taking cheap shots at me? Who won? You want to make a total make a total of denial.

I read your own fatherless comments, and they all trashed you, every one of them, and supported me. It's alright with your personal life. Yeah, come find out again. Make whatever point you want. Don't make it personal. You don't know anything.

You don't know it. You attacked me personally. You're so deluded. I've only been a professor. I've never been able to finish a thought. I've never been able to finish a thought. How many books have you published? No, because you're personally attacking me again. Say whatever you want, but I'm not going to stand for personal thought. Hey, brother, you got it wrong. Say whatever you want. You were cautiously and stupidly wrong. So, okay, all right, can I just finish the goddamn thought? Don't call me stupid ever on this show.

No, not if you're personally committed, I was wrong. I don't need you to call me stupid. Okay. Can I just say, it's great to see you down here. You'll talk to your manners. It's lovely to see you. It's lovely to see you.

Hey, Alan, you deserve a tall glass of shut up juice. So can you just shut up for a second and let someone who knows what they're doing. You're so right. You're so right. You're so right. You're so unified right now. So I will not sit here and stand for personal attacks, for blasphemy against me. You don't need to do that. You don't blast me against you. Whatever you are, you're Jesus Christ, you loser. Okay, can I make your point? Can I just give the correct answer for once?

He's the greatest thing I have ever seen. Listen, man, Jake and I don't agree on everything. Obviously, based on our debate, but good for you for calling out the lunatics in your party. He made him be playing. He's like, if you don't play this, I'm quitting today, which I can't have. I need my crew intact. Folks, thanks again for tuning in.
