Dan introduces Eric Daugherty, a seasoned political analyst from Florida Voice News, praising his precise election forecasts.

Key Highlights:

• Accuracy of Predictions: Eric highlights that most of his predictions were spot-on, particularly regarding key battleground states like Florida, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.

  • "Matter of fact most of them were absolutely spot on." [02:01]

• State-by-State Breakdown:

  • Florida: Eric discusses Trump's overwhelming performance, especially in Miami Dade, challenging previous assumptions.

    • "Trump was blowing Florida out of the water." [02:51]

  • Virginia: Notable shift in Loudoun County, the richest county in the U.S., swinging 9 points towards Trump.

    • "When Trump is swinging this county by nine points, he probably has just won this election." [02:51]

  • Nevada: Early voting data indicated a GOP advantage despite initial Democratic leads.

    • "If Trump is up by around 60,000 voters, and that kind of checks out with the turnout advantage the GOP had." [06:45]

  • Michigan and Pennsylvania: Eric anticipates strong GOP performances, with Michigan showing a lean towards Trump.

    • "I think that is definitely a foregone conclusion that Donald Trump will have a trifecta." [08:17]

Guest Introduction:
Scott Pressler, a key figure in Pennsylvania's Republican strategy, discusses his organization's efforts in flipping the state.

Key Highlights:

• Voter Registration Efforts: Scott details how Early Vote Action registered 50,000 voters across diverse demographic groups, crucial for the slim margins that decided the election.

  • "We registered this cycle alone, 50,000 registered voters." [50:00]

  • "We went to the farmers markets, we went to the sawmills, the dairy farms." [50:00]

• Success Metrics: The efforts led to flipping key Senate and House seats, solidifying Republican control.

  • "We have delivered Pennsylvania for you, sir, but we have delivered for you a United States Senate seat." [53:30]

• Future Plans: Scott outlines plans to replicate this model in other battleground states, emphasizing the importance of grassroots organization.

  • "We have to change tactics in Pennsylvania, Dan. Otherwise we were going to cede the state to the left for the next hundred years." [35:21]

• House of Representatives: Anticipating a Republican majority in the House, Bongino highlights the importance of leveraging this power to pass key legislation without relying solely on executive orders.

  • "We can't just rely on executive orders. This is insane, though, that we may wind up with a two vote margin." [53:48]

• Future Campaigns: Emphasizes the need for replication of successful strategies in other states to maintain Republican dominance.

  • "We are going to go to Michigan, then New Jersey, in New Hampshire." [36:31]

[Dan Bongino]

First up today we talked with a.

[Eric Daugherty]

Really terrific spot on election analyst. I could say that even more conclusively after the election his predictions came true. His name's Eric Daugherty, one of the best analysts in the country about exactly what happened in each state. You're going to want to listen to this.

[Dan Bongino]

So we had this gentleman on the other day and I've really come to enjoy his commentary on on Twitter and it turns out some of his predictions.

[Eric Daugherty]

Matter of fact most of them were absolutely spot on.

[Dan Bongino]

He's political analyst, works with Florida Voice News Does a great job.

[Eric Daugherty]

Eric Daugherty.

[Dan Bongino]

Eric, welcome back to the show. Thanks for joining us the day after.

[Eric Daugherty]

A momentous election day. Thanks for your time.

Hey, Dan. I'm just glad that we finally had an election night. It's way different from 2020. Everything went just as I expected, as you mentioned. And yeah, it's definitely a good day.

[Dan Bongino]

What was. You can follow him, by the way on X.

[Eric Daugherty]

He's at Eric with a C L daugh for Daugherty.

[Dan Bongino]

D A U G H. Give him a follow.

[Eric Daugherty]

Great guy.

[Dan Bongino]

Eric, what was your biggest surprise last night? I mean, I shouldn't say you actually predicted most of it, so maybe there weren't any. But what was the one thing that kind of left you scratching your head a little bit where you thought, man, I maybe didn't see that one coming.

[Eric Daugherty]

Well, first of all, all of the surprises went in Donald Trump's direction. There was no surprise against him. I can kind of walk through some, some of the surprises, I guess some of them may not be so surprising. Obviously Florida, we were getting drops early and that was kind of some of the only results we had early on in the night. And I expected Trump to win Florida. But I, I was watching and I believe you and I discussed this before the election. I was watching some of these counties like Duval up in Jacksonville and the Tampa Bay area. And I kept saying, I said, even though Florida swung to the right last election, those counties went left. And I said, these are suburb counties, these are more urban counties. And Trump was blowing them out. He was winning them. He won Miami Dade by 11 points. And I said, I said, no Republican has won Miami Dade without the presidency. That has panned out. So not so much of a surprise, but he was just blowing Florida out of the water. But I think the big one and this really threw a lot of people for a loop. I'm not sure if you were following this, Dan, but we got a drop out of Loudoun County, Virginia. It's, I think the richest county in the United States. Very college educated. And I think it was like a nine point shift. It was like 95% reporting Trump +9 from 2020. When that happened, that was the moment. And this was early in the night, mind you. This was like, I think 8, 8:30. It was something like that. Everyone saw that X was blowing up. Everyone was like, yeah, if Trump is swinging this county by nine points, he probably has just won this election. The other surprising thing, a little bit later in the night, this was after Trump was already clearly going to win New Jersey. I don't know if you were paying attention to New Jersey.

[Dan Bongino]

You know what, Eric, I don't mean to interrupt you. You know why I was paying attention to New Jersey? Because you were telling producer Jim pay attention to New Jersey. That's why we were. Go ahead. That's why we were paying attention. Go ahead.

[Eric Daugherty]

Yeah. New Jersey current results is only Harris plus five. Can you believe that? Harris plus five. She's supposed to win it by 5.4 points. That again, that was a double digit win for Biden comfortably. And we're kind of seeing a bit of a realignment happening now. One thing that I would like to touch on that was not so much of a surprise was Virginia, the early vote. We didn't have party, we didn't have the party data. We had. We had modeling. But the turnout in the rural areas were high. And what the belief was is Trump was going to get his 2016 Virginia. Therefore, that would bode well for North Carolina and Pennsylvania. So not so much a surprise there. But I think just seeing it pan out, seeing that drop come in for Trump in Loudoun county, the richest county in the United States, a county you would think if Harris was doing so well among white suburbanites, would not swing double digits to Trump. I think that might have been one of the most decisive moments of the night.

[Dan Bongino]

Eric, I'm going to tell you, Florida.

[Eric Daugherty]

Voice News is lucky to have you. So you ever need a job, you.

[Dan Bongino]

Come, you're a. I'm going back looking through your Twitter feed, man, you were spot on. You were. You pretty much accurately called. Some others did, too, but very few that Nevada was going to be competitive. And a lot of people, even friends of mine who were really good pollsters said, ah, the Democrat machine is really, really strong in Nevada. I'm not so sure. But nothing's really definitive in Nevada yet. I'm going to get to Sam Brown there in a second because that's important. But you, you nailed that. Was it the early voting numbers or what was it about Nevada, Clark County?

[Eric Daugherty]

Well, nationwide it was the early vote, but looking at Nevada, it was kind of puzzling that John Ralston predicted, I mean, of course his prediction was a 0.3-point Harris win, which I guess is effectively a tie. I mean, you would be waiting probably a week to find that out. So it wasn't necessarily that, but all of the early voting analysis was this is really bad for Democrats. The GOP had a firewall of 40,000 votes heading into the election and there was a blip on election Day. Where Clark County Dems were slightly outvoting Republicans, and that kind of spooked a lot of people's chances for Trump in Nevada. But about half an hour later, the Rurals came in again, just as many of us were saying, the Rurals came in and GOP expanded its lead. And I think it was clear that if. That when you were looking at this early voting data, the GOP just had a firewall there. It's a change election. There's no way she was going to thrash with independent voters, no matter what some of the polls said. And, you know, lo and behold, we have 92% in, it looks like. But Trump is up by around 60,000 voters, and that kind of checks out with the turnout advantage the GOP had. So I think the big thing was some of the polling we had before Harris got in, obviously once she got in, you had a lot of response bias. She had that honeymoon period. So that kind of, I think, tainted polling for the remainder of the election. Uh, but early voting was, was another big one. And it looks like that panned out to be true.

[Dan Bongino]

Man, Eric, I don't know how I found you. I think it was my buddy Drew.

[Eric Daugherty]

Steele was retweeting you. I follow.

[Dan Bongino]

And it's like, this is by the best find on Twitter, your account I've ever had.

[Eric Daugherty]

He's at Eric L Daw shot for Doherty.

[Dan Bongino]

Your. Your, your analysis, I'm scrolling back, has just been so incredible. And last night, our show, we had called North Carolina and Georgia way before a lot of the networks, and we did it based on you and a few other people we were talking to. You had noticed really early North Carolina and Georgia. I mean, I think it was Almost like by 8:00, we're out of reach, and networks were waiting for like 10 o'clock. What did you see there? Was it. Was it exit polling? Was it exit polling combined with. With early voting data? Was it the minority vote that wasn't panning out for Kamal Harris? What'd you see there?

[Eric Daugherty]

Yeah, I mean, it was pretty much all of it we were getting. And here's the thing about how these elections fall. I was looking at the New York Times needle throughout the night, which panned out to be pretty accurate. So that was something that I was looking at. And it's kind of puzzling because a lot of the networks were really holding out. And I know that every network has its own way of doing things, but what I noticed is, yeah, a lot of these analysts on X were calling these races, you know, very These very small analysts relative to cable news were calling these races early. And the reason for that is it's pretty, you know, simple to know once you have the data where the votes coming from. She was just underperforming. They were dropping these mail in ballots when, when a lot of the Atlanta metro area started coming in. We didn't have the world yet. It's like, this is obvious. It's done. Yeah, Pennsylvania.

[Dan Bongino]

No, that's right.

[Eric Daugherty]

When, yeah, when Pittsburgh came in, she underperformed the mail by, I think, 10 to 20 points. And it was weird because a lot of Democrats were like, whoa, she won the mail, you know, 70, 30. It's like Biden won that, like 75. 25. That's a 10 point shift or whatever the exact number was. So once we got these early vote drops, it was just the writing was on the wall. And yeah, I definitely couldn't do it alone. There were a lot of other analysts on X, you know, posting about it. But I think it was a team effort. And this is a big win, I think, for independent journalism and covering this election.

Oh, my gosh, huge win. Seth Keshel, others, you're right.

[Dan Bongino]

You're a very humble guy. Of course, it wasn't just, you know, I said that today too. You know, a lot of us with microphones and radio shows, people are thanking us and believe me, I deeply appreciate it. But folks, this was the Scott Presslers, the independent journalists out there. I mean, hundreds of thousands of people.

[Eric Daugherty]

Contributed to this massive effort.

[Dan Bongino]

So you've been following politics for a long time.

[Eric Daugherty]

Over at Florida Voice News, we're talking to Eric Doherty.

[Dan Bongino]

Give me your take now. And it's a day to celebrate for me. I'm not a journalist. I'm an opinion guy.

[Eric Daugherty]

Obviously, last night for me was probably one of the greatest nights of my life outside of my marriage, birth of my kids.

[Dan Bongino]

And that time I hit a triple in that game at Lincoln High School in New York. This was it. But as a guy who studies the data, I'm feeling good about the McCormick Senate race in Pennsylvania. I'm feeling pretty good about that. That could be, I think, 53 for us. I feel okay about Brown. I'm a little worried about HUV and Rogers and Michigan on the Senate side. How are you feeling about those races? Is there a possibility we get to 55 or 56? Because we're at 52 right now. So the Senate is one the Republicans.

[Eric Daugherty]

Yeah. So Wisconsin is gone. That was called by decision desk for Baldwin, I think, earlier this morning. So that's been called. But I did speak to one of the networks who are responsible for calling these races and they think that a call from McCormick is imminent probably today. So I would keep your eye on that. That is definitely the best race that we are seeing right now for Republicans. And I think what I'll put them at 53 and then Nevada, as you said, that is probably the next best. It's looking like we're going to have to wait for their mail in ballots to come in because it's so close. I think that is a genuine 50. 50. There is no way to know right now where that race is going. There are rural votes out. There are Clark county male votes out. So we're just going to be waiting on that. Michigan, I think is a little bit of a lean. Slotkin, the Democrat there, I think she probably has the upper hand, probably 60% chance of winning there, but you know, you can't win them all. 53, 54 is still way above expectations. And yeah, I think that Pennsylvania is probably going to be the most likely next pickup for the gop.

[Dan Bongino]

You know, Eric, we're talking Eric Daugherty.

[Eric Daugherty]

From Florida Voice News.

[Dan Bongino]

I'm kind of stunned because I actually rated McCormick's the least likely for us to win. He ran a great campaign. He just did. I mean Bob Casey, but he was running against an empire. I mean the Casey last name, you know, it's like running against like Mike Tyson in the boxing ring. I mean you're talking about a guy who just crushed it. That last name meant so much, I kind of was leaning to Huff D for being kind of the biggest upset that day with Brown being kind of third tier. So it's kind of shocking to see McCormick right now the one in the, in the lead. But we did win the Senate. I mean Montana was, was that thing was over months ago. West Virginia was a fait accompli. They called it about five minutes in. Now, before I let you roll the House, how are you feeling about the House? I'm feeling very positive. We're going to hold it. But do you think it's hold, hold and add a few seats, hold and lose a few seats or Republicans, God forbid, lose it?

[Eric Daugherty]

Well, this, this is developing moments ago, but decision desk has raised the GOP's house odds in the house to 95%. So you don't really get much higher than that. I think it's a foregone conclusion that Donald Trump will have a trifecta, at least according to decision desk and their projection is 223 House seats for the Republicans. So. Well, they are going to support ace. Yep. And they are going to have a majority. A majority of looks like 11 seats. So you have a slight cushion, but a majority nonetheless. I think it's, I think that these Republicans, you know, after 2016 and 2020, the GOP had a bit of a cleansing. A lot, a lot more MAGA Republicans so called have entered the party. I think that they're ready to cooperate. Obviously, 2017 to 2019, we remember what happened with Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. So I think that we're not going to see that again. I think that these House Republicans and senators are ready to play ball. And as of right now, it looks like the House will go to the gop.

[Dan Bongino]

I think what you just mentioned is.

[Eric Daugherty]

Really important from a political tactics perspective.

[Dan Bongino]

If they don't have the buffer, there's always a few holdouts who will use their seat as leverage for something. And to have that buffer, you can have three or four people say, you know, I'm going to take my ball and not play in the sandbox. And it doesn't matter. You've still got eight other to play with. And on the Senate side, you've got the Murkowski, Susan Collins. You know, those two are always trouble for conservative stuff. So now if we were to get to 54, not that it doesn't matter, we'd rather have them on board, but they don't have. They just don't have any leverage by simple math. Eric, listen, man, thanks a lot. We appreciate all your commentary. Give this guy a follow on X. It's Eric with a C, L, D, A, U, G, H. Tell him the.

[Eric Daugherty]

[Dan Bongino]

And the hits just keep on coming. What do you mean the hits, Mike? Like a DJ. No, we're not playing top 40 here. The state of Michigan is now fallen for the Democrats in the Donald Trump.

[Eric Daugherty]

Category, as it is now being called for Donald Trump. They ever gonna get some good news after last night?

[Dan Bongino]

Let's hope not. Because you don't want good news to happen to bad people. You want bad news from bad people. Because if they get good news, it means they're doing bad things. I want to welcome to the show of our favorite commentators.

[Eric Daugherty]

The Federalist.com is where you should go for your news. It's one of Sean Davis's projects. It's fantastic.

[Dan Bongino]

Sean Davis, welcome to the show. What a day today, my brother.

[Sean Davis]

God bless America. What a day.

[Eric Daugherty]

Yeah. We are so back. We are so back. You know, guys like you and me have been waiting for this day now for four years, getting kicked in the nuts over and over again.

[Dan Bongino]

Censorship, lawfare, ridiculous bankruptcy, civil suits against.

[Eric Daugherty]

Our candidates, calling us Nazis, racist, fascists, garbage deplorables, rednecks, whatever name you could think of, flyover country, all this other crap.

[Dan Bongino]

But Sean, I think the most important.

[Eric Daugherty]

Story to come out of last night is not just the Donald Trump victory, obviously critical and important.

[Dan Bongino]

It is the fact that he is.

[Eric Daugherty]

Likely now to dominate in the popular vote and every single BS media narrative they were gonna pitch about. Oh, well, at least half the country rebuked.

[Dan Bongino]

This is now in the can.

[Eric Daugherty]

They are Going to look like absolute morons in the days going forward.

[Sean Davis]

They were, they were hoping they could rig it again, obviously. And in the absence of that, they were hoping to make it so painful during a close process. They were wanting to reproduce Florida in 2000 across seven different states. That's clearly what they were angling for. They were getting their shock troops ready in cities around the country, which is why you saw in D.C. plywood going up over businesses everywhere. And they get to have none of it because they were crushed. And in my view, it's the most important landslide in modern American history. Everyone points to 1984. That was great. You know, just looking at numbers, it was bigger. But given what's happened in this country and given the makeup of the country today, what Donald Trump accomplished in this election is the biggest, most impressive comeback in American political history.

[Eric Daugherty]

We're talking to Sean Davis from the Federalist.

[Dan Bongino]

And Sean, you are correct, that was a different time back then. You and I know I was young, I was only 10.

[Eric Daugherty]

So I'm not gonna pretend there was some deep political analyst in the 1984 election.

[Dan Bongino]

However, being involved in politics, you know, you read about it, I vaguely remember it, but it was a different time back then. You didn't have. The Democrat Party was not as psychotic as it is now that you know there were pro America, pro life Democrats that existed back then. You don't really find that on Capitol Hill anyway. You may find it locally, but you certainly don't find electeds up on Capitol Hill anymore. It was a different time. So your assertion there, I believe is accurate, that this is almost an even more impressive electoral college popular vote landslide given the dynamics we are working with. Because there's no story for them, Sean. They can't say, well, at least we did better with minority voters now. Well, at least we did better with Hispanic. Well, at least we did better when that didn't work. At least we did better with young vote. Well, that didn't work. They have. There is not a single piece of good news for them to take from.

[Eric Daugherty]

This election last night.

[Sean Davis]

No, it's bad news across the board for them and to the media. It and Media Matters trolls who watch your show looking for clips. I'm going to speak to them right now. The true bad news for them is had they not tried to engineer a pandemic to steal an election, had they not done all the rigging, had they just accepted that Donald Trump was going to win in 2020, he would be walking out the door right now. But instead they impeached him, they tried to bankrupt him, they tried to imprison him, they tried to kill him. And he's coming back. And we get four more years of him with him having the full knowledge of everything they tried to do to him. If they thought the last four years with Trump were going to be bad, they better. They better buckle up, because this new Trump coming out is going to be absolutely spectacular. And they only have themselves to blame, and we need to rub their noses in their own mess about that from now until eternity.

[Dan Bongino]

Yeah, I mean, I saw a bunch of calls today from a bunch of.

[Eric Daugherty]

Swampies, and they're like, oh, it's the time for unity.

[Dan Bongino]

And you know what? Listen, man, if this was the. Maybe the Tip O'Neill days, which of.

[Eric Daugherty]

Course are a little exaggerated, but, you.

[Dan Bongino]

Know, you get the point. Maybe so, but I don't understand why. Unity for what? I mean, one, I'm not for unity for unity's sake. I mean, if there was unity, because we would get some bill passed that would leave my kids a more prosperous country.

[Eric Daugherty]

Fantastic.

[Dan Bongino]

But how do you unify. I don't understand. With people who, I mean, in literal sense, call this Nazis and garbage. I mean, you want me to go and sit down and have a beer with them? I mean, have a Corona with lime? I mean, what, are you crazy? These people call this, like, serial killers. I mean, Nazis. You know what the Nazis did? They believe this stuff. So, I mean, you can take a big seat with the unity talk today.

[Eric Daugherty]

I'm sorry, no, there will.

[Sean Davis]

There will be no unity until there's been accountability in a reckoning, okay? These people tried to destroy my business. They got the government globally to try and censor us and destroy us and shut us down. The president of the United States called us garbage. They've spent years calling us Nazis, trying to ruin our lives. They tried to get us fired for not taking shots. They left Americans to die in Afghanistan. If you think there's going to be unity after that nonsense, you've got another thing coming. There will be no unity until they get in line and until after there's been accountability and reckoning for their behavior.

[Dan Bongino]

And there's a tactical reason, Sean, you know, I can. I get how a lot of, like, the goofball media clowns, you know, the Colby Halls of the world, whatever his name, all these clowns, they're out there. Oh, my gosh. This isn't an emotional thing. Well, it's emotional 81, it said, if there is no reckoning for all of the stuff they did, that Most of it was actually illegal, not just morally Republican repugnant. A lot of the stuff they did was in violation of the First Amendment. Some of the stuff they did, weaponizing government to lock people up on made up charges is actually illegal. If nothing happens moving forward, forward, it's assumed that there's kind of a soft imprimatur on it, like, oh well, this was just okay, there has to be some reckoning, like you said, where people go, you know what, we did all that, we got screwed, Trump won anyway and now we're under investigation. Maybe it wasn't worth it because if you're expecting any sense of moral self reflection, you are out of your mind. They're already making up narratives like oh, this was racist and all this other crap.

[Sean Davis]

Yeah, there has to be a reckoning and it's not personal, it's just business. But you and I talked about this years ago after the Russia collusion hoax collapsed. We both said people have to go to prison for that. There have to be consequences or it's going to happen again. And not only did it happen again, they juiced it up with steroids and ran it 10 different times over. In one instance that nearly led to the President being murdered on live television. So no, there's absolutely going to be accountability. And it's not personal, it's not emotional, it's business. These people can be nowhere near the levers of power ever again because they made clear they would rather burn this country to the ground than have a country that they're not in charge of.

[Eric Daugherty]

Yeah, we're talking to Sean Davis from the Federalist. Please give him a follow scan. Sean, worth your time.

[Dan Bongino]

Sean, I don't think it's a stretch to say that one of the most pivotal moments in modern American history with.

[Eric Daugherty]

Regards to God given rights enshrined in our Bill of Rights was Elon Musk's purchase of X.

[Dan Bongino]

Listen, Donald Trump may.

[Eric Daugherty]

I can't prove a counterfactual.

[Dan Bongino]

He may have won without with, with.

[Eric Daugherty]

Jack's X rather than Elon's X. I.

[Dan Bongino]

Don'T know, it didn't happen.

[Eric Daugherty]

We had Elon's.

[Dan Bongino]

I'm just telling you, if I'm a betting man, I bet this election he could have lost and it certainly would have been a whole lot closer for Kamala or Biden. Biden may not even have dropped out. If Elon Musk does not purchase X, the truth on a lot of these matters does not get out there. And that 17% you guys wrote that article to Federalist in the 2020 election of Biden voters who didn't know about the Hunter Biden laptop. They knew about all the bad stuff. This time, thanks to places like the New York Post, X, you know, Rumble and other outfits out there that decided.

[Eric Daugherty]

We'Re all in on free expression.

[Dan Bongino]

I don't think that's a stretch to say that. No.

[Sean Davis]

Elon Musk is an American hero and I think we need to have a Mount Rushmore just for him. The only problem is I don't think. I don't think we're going to be able to find mountains big enough given the size of that guy's balls and what he's done.

[Dan Bongino]

I love that. That is the. Jim. Sean Davis thinks we should have a Mount Rushmore for Elon Musk. Balls like this. You're right. I don't think we'd have to find something like in the Himalayas. And that's not.

[Sean Davis]

The guy is a legend for what he did. He spent $45 billion to save America and his singular focus. I think I'm in awe of what he has accomplished and grateful beyond words for what he's done for this country.

[Eric Daugherty]

Oh, my gosh. It's really. It's just. It's just staggering. And you have.

[Dan Bongino]

You have so many people out there.

[Eric Daugherty]

The Scott Presslers and others who, I mean, just really passionately poured their heart into this.

[Dan Bongino]

Talking to Sean Davis from the Fedler.

[Eric Daugherty]

Sean, last question.

[Dan Bongino]

Always appreciate your time.

[Eric Daugherty]

It's busy day today for you.

[Dan Bongino]

I'm sure the recriminations on the left are starting already and it's delicious to watch Again. I know shouting fraud is not the greatest thing, but I don't really care. You call us Nazis and fascists. You deserve everything you get, but they're already starting. I've got a couple clips coming up.

[Eric Daugherty]

After we're done with you.

[Dan Bongino]

They're already starting to blame Biden. He got out too late. He got out too soon. Maybe Kamala needed more time. We've only known her for now four years, plus her time in the Senate.

[Eric Daugherty]

She's been awful at everything.

[Dan Bongino]

I hate to say it, but I think you and I are thinking the same thing. The next few weeks of this, we'll get ready tactically and we'll get our work done in the administration. But we should enjoy this the next few weeks and just let them eat each other alive on the left. Maybe one or two of them will engage in some self reflection. I doubt it, but I'll take one.

[Eric Daugherty]

Or two sane ones in the end, if they realize they screwed this thing up.

[Sean Davis]

I'm going to power every vehicle I own and dine out on liberal tears for the next two months because it's going to be an unending stream of them. They're the greatest renewable source on earth right now. I was watching CNN late last night and they were trying to do a post election autopsy and all the Democrats agreed it wasn't Kamala's fault. It actually was Joe Biden's fault because he made life hard for her. And I thought, man, when the Biden people wake up and they tell him what happened, the knives are coming out for the Harris people and I am here for it. And I cannot wait.

[Eric Daugherty]

I can't either. I'm sorry again.

[Dan Bongino]

I know.

[Eric Daugherty]

I love Jesus Christ, my lord and savior. I love you, Jesus.

[Dan Bongino]

I know morally I should probably like to some high road I should take, but when really awful things happen to genuinely awful people who do awful things to others, then there's some kind of math equation where that's a net positive.

[Eric Daugherty]

In the moral arc of history.

[Dan Bongino]

I'm sure of it. Sean Davis, follow him on X. One of the best followers out there. This dude is a warrior. S E A N. Sean Davis, follow him on X.

[Eric Daugherty]

He's at the Federalist.

[Dan Bongino]

Bookmark the page.

[Eric Daugherty]

The Federalist. You're going to love their stories. They're the best out there.

[Dan Bongino]

Sean, thanks for your time, brother.

[Eric Daugherty]

Thanks for the fight, man. It's a great day. God bless America, my brother.

[Sean Davis]

God bless America. Thank you, sir.

[Eric Daugherty]

You got it. I love that guy, man. He's really one of the best guests ever.

[Dan Bongino]

He wants. What do you think, folks?

[Eric Daugherty]

A Mount Rushmore for Elon's balls.

[Dan Bongino]

That would be again, I'm not sure. We didn't rock big enough, but Elon to Chris over at Rumble to Devin Nunes. We don't want to leave them out of the conversation. And the team over at True Social, you know, for sticking your necks out.

[Eric Daugherty]

There for free expression when it wasn't convenient or easy to do. So, man, God bless you. You guys are amazing.

[Dan Bongino]

Here's another interesting interview coming up next.

[Eric Daugherty]

But first, our next sponsor.

[Dan Bongino]

Regular listeners to the show know how.

[Eric Daugherty]

Passionate I am about encouraging you to support companies that share your values and stop giving money to those that don't. It's a huge issue in healthcare. Big issue. You might be surprised at what some are making you pay for procedures that you don't even believe in. And this is a huge reason why Medishare is so attractive for people who don't want to use their own health care dollars for procedures that might be harmful. Medishare is a reliable, affordable healthcare alternative. They're a nonprofit ministry. It's a community of like minded Christians, hundreds of thousands of members now, by the way, and they help people save money. Many families save around $500 a month and the member surveys consistently show they like it because it works and they can believe in it. It's time to join. Go to Medishare.com Bongino find out how you can access affordable, reliable healthcare and become part of a community you can count on. That's Medishare.com Bongino It's M E D I share S H A R E.com Bongino Great operation. Check them out. Metashare.com Bongino Sean Parnell is an American patriot. He is a warrior. He's a member of our military, served in combat. He knows Pennsylvania well. He talked about the ground game plan of Pennsylvania and how we can take this to other states. This is important. We had another election coming up in the midterms. Listen.

[Dan Bongino]

I try to bring you the.

[Eric Daugherty]

Best political analysis because you know, folks, I obviously it's just true. I don't know everything. I mean, I don't, I get paid to speak about politics, but there are people who have a far larger and deeper set of knowledge about very specific states than I do. I ran in the state of Maryland and Florida.

[Dan Bongino]

So Pennsylvania politics.

[Eric Daugherty]

I bring in people who know it. Nobody knows it better than this guy. You heard him the other day. Some of his predictions were absolutely spot on. My good friend Sean Parnell welcoming back to the show Real American Patriots. Sean, thanks for your time again today. Appreciate it.

[Dan Bongino]

Oh man, we did it, man. We won Pennsylvania. We saved America. Dan, I haven't slept at all. Still going on no sleep. But I couldn't even sleep if I wanted to. I'm so damn excited.

[Eric Daugherty]

I know. I'm reading your text this morning.

[Dan Bongino]

So Sean texted me at about, I.

[Eric Daugherty]

Don'T know, 8:30 or so.

[Dan Bongino]

And as you can hear by my voice, and I think you probably feel the same way. I mean, you're a combat veteran.

[Eric Daugherty]

I'm not, I was not in the military. My great regret.

[Dan Bongino]

But you can probably know as I.

[Eric Daugherty]

Speak to other folks, you know, sometimes you get this massive rush of adrenaline.

[Dan Bongino]

We've all had it, whether it's combat or even to a much lesser degree, things like sports and stuff, and you just forget you're tired. I woke up this morning on an actual three hours sleep, you know, in the literal, not figurative sense And I'm very sleep sensitive, Sean. I'm kind of a wuss. But I got to tell you, I got up and when you texted me, I felt like I could run a marathon. I'm not even a runner. I just this high from last night. I just feel like we put up.

[Eric Daugherty]

With all this crap for three and a half years. I feel like we've all been vindicated.

[Dan Bongino]

Oh, completely. And you talk about time in the military and combat. I'm going to give you the full scoop on how we flip Pennsylvania. I haven't talked about it yet, but hey, it doesn't matter. The cat's out of the bag now. We won. We did it. But I told you that we started this plan 18 months ago. It was after my Senate race that crashed and burned in Pennsylvania. The system came after me. It was law. Fair was one of the first, first victims of lawfare. Vindicated now. But I knew back then that we had. We had to change tactics in Pennsylvania, Dan. Otherwise we were going to cede the state to the left for the next hundred years with this early vote and the vote by mail stuff. The Dems were killing us. So if you don't shift tactics in combat, you're dead. You know, politics is war just without the bullet. So you kind of thinking is the same way. So we pulled in, you know, got with Dave McCormick before he even decided to run for a time and said, look, this plan that I'm trying to put together here is outcome determinative. We absolutely have to do it. And so we started cobbling together, Dan, this constellation of great Republican groups, young staffers, American patriots, wanted to make a difference. And so the guidance was, hey look, we're going to raise gangbuster sums of money because that's just how politics is. You got to have money to win. But bottom line is loose lips think ships. No one speaks of this. No one does. Media. We don't have a media arm. Like why? Because I want the Democrats to think we're a mess. I want the Democrats to get complacent. And guess what my friend, by the time those requests and returns came in of the early vote and the vote by mail, it was too friggin late. There was nothing that the Democrats could do. They had to turn around and turn out 600 to 700,000 people in and around the Southeast and Philadelphia area on election day. And I told you yesterday, my question was yes, they could do it, but are they going to have the muscle memory to do it given that they've gone all in on mail for the last four cycles. And guess what, man? They didn't do it. And so we won this state. We took back the White House. And I'm going to dedicate my entire life to dismantling the communist Democrat agenda For the next 200 years in this country.

[Eric Daugherty]

Sean, you deserve a lot of credit. Guys like you and Scott Pressler, I mean, you turned this state around. I say it all the time. Pennsylvania. We're talking to Sean Parnell, real American patriot here, folks. He's got his own show, too. You should check it out.

[Dan Bongino]

But Pennsylvania had been forfeited for Republicans for so long, it had a nickname. It was called Fool's Gold. I can't say this enough because we would constantly think it was, oh, we're going to get it this time. No, it's next time. And Romney, McCain, Bush, Bush. We kept getting smoked. And everybody's like, all right, enough. Like, Pennsylvania's done. It's the new Colorado or whatever. And you know, guys like you and Presser and McCormick, who ran a great campaign for Senate and other. I mean, forgive me if I'm leaving you. I promise it's not intentional. It's just, you know, I have a short segment with John. You guys said, no way. There is simply no way. An energy state, a state with hard work, I mean, steel, where you have a team called the Steelers. I mean, these are people who work for a living. There is no way they're going to go for men in the women's room, unrealized capital gains tax, a defenestrated military and anti fracking, like there was no way that was going to happen.

Exactly.

And it turns out last night, brother, you were vindicated. It wasn't a win, it was a route in Pennsylvania.

Yeah. And guess what, my friend, I'm telling you right here on this show, this is a. This is a victory in a battle, in a much larger political war. We won this race. But guess what? I'm telling you right here on the show, I'm expanding this program. Shapiro and Fetterman will be the last statewide elected Dems in the state of Pennsylvania. And guess what? We're bringing this program to Wisconsin. We're going to go to Michigan, then New Jersey, in New Hampshire, because, man, I am tired of the Republican Party playing defense all the time and being a speed bump on the way to some communist Democrat agenda. We go on offense, we put the Democrats on their heels, and we start winning states that the Democrats have counted on and we will turn this country red for the next hundred years. Like we are. I'm not stopping here. Like I'm so motivated to. I can tell Democrat party because you.

Texted me at 8 o'clock in the morning and I'm like this guy sleep. Like I know you were up until. I'm like, no, no, no, it was brother. I was like. I said I got up at my alarm goes off at 5:45. It doesn't really matter. You. I'm one of those guys, you know, guys like this. Like whether I go to sleep on the weekend after a night at Tequila on a date night at 2:00, I'm still up at 5:45. It's not like I'm trying to. It's just I'm old. Like stuff just doesn't work anymore. So I know you're not kidding me. This is what I love about military guys like you. You know, you get Marines and Army guys, you get five paragraph orders. Navy or Air Force guys, you know, they just get a mission and it's like, let's just accomplish it and just stop whining about it. But let me ask you this. The Senate race, it's looking really good. It's. I don't believe it's been called yet for McCormick. I've been on the air for the last three hours, but it's looking really good. I gotta tell you, Sean, I had this race at about, I don't know, 30, 40% shot of us winning only because the Casey name. The guy does nothing. He rides his name. That's it. He's got a legacy name. But man, McCormick ran a really ridiculous campaign. How is it looking for him?

[Eric Daugherty]

How should we feel about this?

[Dan Bongino]

First of all, I love Dave McCormick. He ran an absolutely perfect campaign and I don't say that lightly. Second of all, Dave won that race. It's over. I'm telling you, it's over. When this, when the dust settles here, you're going to see about a 30 to 40,000 vote margin of victory for Dave. And the media right now. And the Democrats in Pennsylvania are doing everything that they can. And this probably goes for all of the battleground states where there's a contested Senate seat. They're trying to drag out these down ballot races as long as humanly possible, maybe get a recount, maybe the Hail Mary miracle to try to minimize the damage in the Senate and same is true in the house. But McCormick won that race. The media just hasn't called it yet. But you heard it Here first, he's 100%, he's already won that race. Casey does not have a mathematical path to victory for folks.

[Eric Daugherty]

If Sean Parnell is saying it S E A N Sean, you should follow him on social media. He has his own show as well. Please look it up. You can take it to the bank. Your predictions been spot on, Sean. Again, you being a really good at Pennsylvania analysis.

[Dan Bongino]

The Kamala Harris campaign in one of the single most. I mean, people should be arrested for political malpractice. You know where I'm going with this? It may be the single dumbest political decision we've ever seen. They can't win without Pennsylvania. You've got a sadly relatively popular governor who's a Democrat, who's just like. He's a communist who fakes it well.

[Eric Daugherty]

Right.

[Dan Bongino]

Josh Shapiro. But let's be honest, he's a good faker. Unlike, you know, jazz hands Tim Walls, who's really bad at this. They could have picked him and probably been. I think they still would have lost, but been a little more competitive. And no, she shakes him off for jazz hands and winds up getting smoked in Pennsylvania. Worst political decision in modern American history, tactically speaking, at least top five.

I completely agree. And I have a hot take on this. I don't think Josh Shapiro wanted it. Number one, because if he's. I don't think he wants Kamala Harris to win. Number two, because if Kamala Harris wins it like he. This guy wants to run for president. Right. And if Kamala Harris wins, that's her eight years in the Oval Office for her. Right. That means he's out of governor's office two years, twiddling his thumbs, doing nothing. My theory is that Josh Shapiro was not moving heaven and earth in Pennsylvania to help Kamala Harris win this thing. He wants to run for president, and it's a much easier political path for him to show up on the scene. Oh, look, I'm saving the nation from Trump. You know, I don't agree with that. You don't agree with that, but that's what he's going to say. I'm the answer to all this nation's problems, and that's why you should elect me. By the way, you don't have to deal with Trump at the top of the ticket, who's the most electrifying political candidate in my lifetime. So Trump's out of the way. Josh Shapiro gets to arrive like some conquering heroes. Kamala is discarded on that, on the ash, ash heap of political history. Doesn't have to worry about her. All he has to worry about is winning in a primary against Gretchen Whitmer. Gavin Newsom, which is a tall order in and of itself. But it's a heck of a lot easier than having to wait eight years of a Kamala Harris presidency.

[Eric Daugherty]

We're talking to Sean Parnell from Pennsylvania. Give him a follow.

[Dan Bongino]

Sean is a brilliant point.

[Eric Daugherty]

You're right. And I want to just kind of segue to a similar kind of scenario.

[Dan Bongino]

I think Josh Shapiro obviously voted for Kamala.

[Eric Daugherty]

We get that.

[Dan Bongino]

But I agree with you. I don't think politically he wanted her to.

[Eric Daugherty]

I think you were 100% accurate, but.

[Dan Bongino]

I'm expanded a little bit. I think Joe Biden felt the same way. Someone asked me, how did Joe Biden vote for Trump? No, Joe Biden didn't vote for Trump. But believe me when I tell you Joe Biden is a narcissistic, like, sociopathic type personality. Ask anyone who knows him. I know guys on his detail. The joke about Biden is he's the smartest guy in the room. Just ask him. Biden thought he was a transformative FDR figure. He can't believe he got brushed aside for the cackler Kamala Harris. And I think I'm dead serious. As serious as a heart attack. He's waking up today, him and Joe Biden at breakfast going, he told those idiots zero doubt.

I completely agree. In fact, Joe Biden with cognitive deficits was still a stronger candidate than Kamala Harris.

[Eric Daugherty]

Correct.

[Dan Bongino]

Somehow they shanked Joe. They shank Joe Biden, they select not elect Kamala Harris. They completely betray their base, and meanwhile they somehow they nominate or select somebody that is less articulate than Joe Biden somehow amazing.

And she doesn't even possible. He doesn't even have. He biologically cannot even function. And they managed to find a person who biologically functions fine but has the worst social IQ we have ever seen. But Sean, I got to get one more answer. I got two minutes. But if here's the smart move for the Dems, I mean, it's a fait accompli now it's over, whatever. But the smart move for the Dems that relates to Pennsylvania politics, it was so critical in this election would have been keep Biden. You were stuck with him.

[Eric Daugherty]

He won the primary.

[Dan Bongino]

Dump Harris off the ticket, add Josh Shapiro. And you know what? They may. I think they still would have lost. They probably would have lost, but they wouldn't have lost this bad. And at least you have like this guy next who's a rising star in the Democrat Party instead of a candidate they all acknowledge were terrible.

[Eric Daugherty]

That was the play Absolutely.

[Dan Bongino]

I mean, nothing more needs to be said. You're 100% right. And, you know, look, Kamala Harris had a base problem in this race, and I'll wrap it up real quickly here, but she never earned. You ran in a race. You know what it's like to earn the love and appreciation and the support of your base. She didn't do that. And she had base issues everywhere in Michigan and Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. And I think that tells the tale here as we see an historic Donald Trump victory.

[Eric Daugherty]

Yeah, you're right. I mean, you just nailed it.

[Dan Bongino]

You and I were both candidates. If you don't gin up a sense of excitement where you've got a core.

[Eric Daugherty]

Group of supporters that are going to.

[Dan Bongino]

Go out and gin up and get 10 more people out there, you have nothing. And she had nothing. She lost indies, she lost black voters, Hispanic voters, young voters. I mean, she didn't lose relative to prior elections. She got just destroyed. This was a really horrible election for.

[Eric Daugherty]

The Democrats and, man, the Donald Trump movement.

[Dan Bongino]

Sean, you've been a diehard in the maga movement, and it's been an honor to do this alongside of you.

[Eric Daugherty]

I appreciated your text this morning. He said, we did it, man. I said, yeah, you're damn right we did.

[Dan Bongino]

Hey, man, you're going to be a regular on the show if you have the time. Sean Parnell. He's got his own show. Check it out. S E A N P A R N E L L Sean Parnell.

[Eric Daugherty]

Thanks for your time, buddy. Appreciate it.

[Dan Bongino]

Thanks. Thanks, brother. Talk to you soon, you guys.

[Eric Daugherty]

Finally, a big thank you to an important person this election cycle. You're going to remember this guy from our show. He was amazing. But first, our next sponsor. You know, seeing my father last Christmas was really special. We're all gathered around the table talking, sharing some stories, but I couldn't help but notice he was struggling to keep up with the conversation. That's when I knew it was time. Millions of adults over 65 start to lose their hearing each year.

[Dan Bongino]

My father was one of them.

[Eric Daugherty]

So I decided to gift him some MD hearing aids. And let me tell you, they were a game changer. This year was completely different. He was engaged, laughing, didn't miss a beat. Seen him often. It's really been great. MDhearing really brought the family conversations back to life. This podcast today is brought to you by mDhearing. They're FDA registered, rechargeable, and you won't even know they're there. Right inside your ear. They fit. Plus MDHearing just launched their smallest model yet, the Neo Xs.

Hey, if there's one person responsible for Pennsylvania going our way and shifting the entire election, not just the presidency, but the Senate and the House, it's Scott Pressler. We wanted to thank him personally, and I want you to hear it. Check this out, folks. This guy is a genuine amount American Patriot. There are a lot of talkers in the world, very few doers. So I tell my kids all the time, they're like, dad, is success hard? Oh, it's not hard. The recipe is simple. The actual work is hard, but the recipe is simple. A lot of people, you know, don't want to get up in the morning, don't want to work out, don't want to hit the cold plunge, don't want to eat right, don't want to stay after work. And they don't want to do. They just want to talk about it. If you do that, you'll succeed. It's really not that. It's not that complicated. This guy did it.

[Dan Bongino]

Scott Pressler.

[Eric Daugherty]

I want to welcome him back to the show. What an amazing guy. Scott, your work in Pennsylvania, absolutely incredible. I wanted to bring you back on the show to first. Thank you. And I got a few questions for you. Thanks for everything you did over there, though. Amazing work.

[Scott Pressler]

Thank you. It's still finally just settling in, and it feels so good. And, Dan, I wanted to say thank you. Every time I went on your program, we raised literally tens of thousands of dollars. And that's not a hyperbole. And I just want people to know that every dollar we raised from going on your show went to the staffers that helped deliver Pennsylvania. So the Dan Bongino program literally helped win Pennsylvania as well.

[Eric Daugherty]

Well, Scott, the Bongino army are dedicated patriots that believe in action and not just talk. And a guy like you who went out, I think you, like, didn't you, like, destroy your car from driving around.

[Dan Bongino]

The states and it was some Gibson go. No, it happened right. Like, you. You, like, burnt out your car or something and did the engine melt from you driving? Pennsylvania is a Big state. It's not easy to drive around. But that happened, right?

[Scott Pressler]

Well, I was in a very lovely 2005 Honda Civic that she. She has seen a lot of years, and I don't know what.

[Dan Bongino]

Yeah, you defeated a Honda Civic. Listen, Honda makes a great car. I had a Civic when I was young. That Civic lasted, like 350,000 miles. For you to defeat a Civic, you must have registered a lot of voters.

[Scott Pressler]

Well, I. I'm excited to put even more miles on my new vehicle and get ready for the future. Yes, sir.

[Eric Daugherty]

Scott, you're.

[Dan Bongino]

You're an amazing guy. So let's get to some. Some technical stuff, because your model, I believe, can be used in other states. And I've had a lot of people.

[Eric Daugherty]

Reach out to me and say, how.

[Dan Bongino]

Do we find our own Scott Pressler?

[Eric Daugherty]

I said, I don't know. You're gonna have to ask Scott. Something motivated him.

[Dan Bongino]

You registered a ton of voters. How did you do it? I mean, was there some kind of calculated plan? Like, was it gun shows or churches or. You got to a massive number of people in Pennsylvania you brought over to our side. I mean, you know, I don't want to give the Democrats any hardcore trade secrets, but for Republicans around the country, what are you telling them on how they can replicate this and say in New York, which I think we can fix.

[Scott Pressler]

Well, let's go over a couple facts of kind of what happened. So, my organization is Early Vote Action, and we hired 74 paid field staff for this cycle. 74. And they give you context, Dan. There are 67 counties in Pennsylvania, so we had a staff per each county. NPA. That's number one. Number two, we registered this cycle alone, 50,000 registered voters. 50,000. And the reason to the way that's so important is 2016 in Pennsylvania for Trump was decided by 40,000 votes. 2020 was decided by 80,000 votes. We always knew that this election could come down to 1 percentage point. And so that 50,000 number could very well swing an entire presidential election in the Commonwealth of pa. Now, let's dial in on the numbers and the demographic groups we're reaching out to. So have that 80,000 number kind of like as a baseline in your mind. There are 80,000 truckers in packaging. So we went to the truck stop, the rest stop, the service plaza off of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. There are 90,000Amish in Pennsylvania. So we went to the farmers markets, we went to the sawmills, the dairy farms. I even milked a cow by hand at an Amish farm to help court the vote. There are 400,000 members of the Jewish community. And with Kamala and Joe Biden's anti peace in the Middle east policy, we saw an opened opportunity to reach out to a non tradition that doesn't vote Republican usually. Then you have 800,000 veterans. And so with Stolen Valor, Tim Walz we went to the American Legions. We went to the VFW halls and last. Dan and probably one of the most important groups we reached out to is the 930,000 hunters in Pennsylvania. 30% of Pennsylvania hunters are not registered. So we spent a lot of time going to the gun shows, going to the gun stores, going to archery. I mean, we dedicated every single gun show by going to gunshowtrader.com by the way, that website is for all 50 states. So if you want to start doing this where you live, go now. There are going to be gun shows in December, January like this. This process never stops. This is 24 7, 365. But it was touching, Dan. All those different demographic groups that I know that are Republican that just weren't getting out to vote. I knew if we registered and mobilized them, we could win and deliver Pennsylvania for Don.

[Eric Daugherty]

Well, you did. I mean, you did it by such.

[Dan Bongino]

A margin, Scott, that the Democrats who.

[Eric Daugherty]

Were obsessed with creating legal chaos after elections, they used it didn't even bother.

[Dan Bongino]

Matter of fact, there's pressure right now.

[Eric Daugherty]

It kind of segues to my next question. The Dave McCormick Senate race, a pivotal flip, if we can take it.

[Dan Bongino]

He is mathematically certain at this point.

[Eric Daugherty]

To be the next United States senator from Pennsylvania.

[Dan Bongino]

There is no math for Casey. Casey, as far as I know, I'm looking, I'm following, has not conceded yet. But it wasn't just that you would flip the presidency back to President Trump. President Elect Trump, at this point, you flipped the Senate seat. And I think I saw there was a congressional seat that flipped too. So, you know, it's not just that you did the top, you know, the top of the ballot. There were down ballot races too, where this worked.

[Scott Pressler]

Well, I have some breaking news to share here on the Dan Bungino show. So the McCormick campaign just put out a presser literally 30 minutes ago, you know, just recently saying that they are victorious and they have won. And so I have a message to the President. Mr. President, not only have we delivered Pennsylvania for you, sir, but we have delivered for you a United States Senate seat. And we have also delivered two congressional districts that flipped from blue to red. And that's Republican Rob Resnahan, who defeated Matt Cartwright and Congratulations to Republican Ryan Mackenzie, who defeated the entrenched Susan Wild in Lehigh and Northampton. And so, yes, we not only won the commonwealth, but helped to provide a Republican Congress for the President.

[Eric Daugherty]

I can't emphasize enough the importance of what you just said, President Trump. The tax cuts, all of the stuff.

[Dan Bongino]

We want to get done is not.

[Eric Daugherty]

Going to happen if we don't have.

[Dan Bongino]

The House, the Senate we have.

[Eric Daugherty]

That's how comfortably it's still up for grabs.

[Dan Bongino]

But we have the Senate. We don't have the House. We have nothing. You have to get that passed through.

[Eric Daugherty]

The House before it becomes law.

[Dan Bongino]

We can't just rely on EOS executive orders. This is insane, though, that we may wind up with a two vote margin. And you in Pennsylvania may have been responsible for the two vote margin too. I mean, you want to talk about a big round of applause necessary.

[Eric Daugherty]

This is it.

[Scott Pressler]

Well, and I want to give a shout out too, to our team. You know, Scott Perry, the Democrats have been attacking him like crazy and what a fierce, ferocious fighter. I so respect Congressman Scott Perry. And if any of you were listening even at this time, if you're thinking about supporting my efforts, support the congressman. He truly fights for freedom and fights for you and me every day. And our team, Bobby Jeffries and Ellis, Duke Hart and Ryan Sexton down there in the York, Adams, Dauphin area, well, Scott Perry, it appears that he will have won his seat as well. And to our beautiful Bucks county people that have flipped Bucks county for the first time since 1988, Dan, we will have helped protect two Republican seats and flip two Republican seats in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

[Eric Daugherty]

Really, Scott, amazing work, folks. Scott Pressler, please follow him on X, follow him on social media. Scott, I got one more question for you. I got just a couple of minutes left, but I want to make sure tell us your website because I know you're not done like I know you have. Your work has thankfully just begun.

[Dan Bongino]

But where can people go and support.

[Eric Daugherty]

You and your group? Because I've got a feeling you may be expanding into other states here after your success. So how can they support you?

[Scott Pressler]

Thank you. Our organization is Early Vote action dot com. That's Early Vote action dot com and yes, we have only just begun, Dan, you know, we are already working towards the gubernatorial election in 2026. Democrat Governor Shapiro needs to hit the road just like we did to Bob Casey and Kamala Harris. And furthermore, I want to make it very clear on your program today, our goal moving forward these next four years is to Florida, Pennsylvania. And I would like to help deliver a plurality of registered Republican voters in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. And last, I will be spending my Christmas vacation writing a blueprint about what we did here in Pennsylvania this cycle. And I will offer this blueprint to anyone that wants it. Let's take it to New Mexico and Colorado and Washington and Oregon and Connecticut and Delaware and Rhode island and Minnesota. Let's take this blueprint everywhere. And if you thought 2024 was good, well, let's make 2028 even better, baby.

[Eric Daugherty]

Scott, you teed that up nicely. Last question for you. My former home state of New York, I still love the place. I got family who live up there. A lot of family, not just a few grew up there.

[Dan Bongino]

It was never a red state. But when I lived there, there was.

[Eric Daugherty]

A Republican governor, George Pataki and a Republican mayor, Rudy Giuliani. There was a significant Republican heavy presence in New York that has disappeared over the decades since I've left.

[Dan Bongino]

You are now seeing New York get redder. Not red, but redder from each election.

[Eric Daugherty]

We'Re encroaching a little more. Lee Zeldin almost won the governorship there. Your model in New York, I am.

[Dan Bongino]

Convinced, could make that state less blue, even potentially purple. It's not going to happen in one or two election cycles, maybe 10 years, maybe 12. But I know it can happen. And if we can do that and you can take Pennsylvania and New York.

[Eric Daugherty]

The Democrats have no national Runway, no national election plan Runway to win the presidency again.

[Sean Davis]

Correct.

[Scott Pressler]

Well, and let's put things into priority for a second. So, yes, if you're in New York. Well, I mean, I am going to say I want more people to move to Pennsylvania. I'm not going to lie. Move to Pennsylvania if you can help us shore up the governorship in 2026. But to anybody that is so inspired from this win, get involved locally. Please capitalize on this momentum. But last, most important thing, Daniel, 2025, we have two gubernatorial elections. Please hear me loudly. Bongino Posse. If you live in New Jersey, I want you to show up to your next Republican meeting immediately. In November and December, you join your local Republican committee and you get involved right now, New Jersey and Virginia, because both of those governorships are up in 2025 and New Jersey is trending to the right in a very big way. And it would make just a huge splash for you guys to be able to take the governorship next year. So please, Jersey, Virginia, you get involved immediately and join your local Republican committee. Please.

[Eric Daugherty]

Love this guy, Jim. He's always working. See, two days after election, guy should be sleeping. He should be on an IV right now of like NAD and vitamin C or something. And what's he doing? He's still hustling and working. Scott, your website again.

[Dan Bongino]

Bongino, army, do your thing, man. What's the website?

[Scott Pressler]

The website is early vote action.com early vote action.com. thank you, Dan.

[Eric Daugherty]

Listen, man, you don't stop thanking me. I appreciate it, but it's totally unnecessary. I did not do. I did not wear out a Honda Civic. I had a. I was stuck here.

[Dan Bongino]

My days of running for office are over. God bless you, brother.

[Eric Daugherty]

You know you got an open ticket. Just reach out to Jim anytime you need to. Come on. We love you on the show. Thanks for what you did in Pennsylvania. We really appreciate it, man. Thanks for coming on.

[Scott Pressler]

I will. Love you, too. Thank you.

[Eric Daugherty]

He's a good man, this guy, man. I'm telling you, folks, a lot of people did a lot of hard work in Pennsylvania, Sean Parnell and others. But they'll all tell you nobody worked harder than this guy. Pennsylvania was called fool's gold for years for Republicans. And now the only fools are Democrats. Good job, man. More of that get involved. The do matters, not the talk.
