Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts. With your host, Dan Bongino. Yo, sorry about yesterday, man. I feel super bad about the radio show. I know it was last minute. I'm sitting here, guy and Michael are busting their asses. They're getting a radio show. There's like two minutes between the podcast and a radio show. Show's live shows live. Like, you know, here, here, look, here's me on the screen right now with the rumble thing. Live. I mean, do we need proof of life? I'm sure you guys believe me at all. But there's like two minutes. The show wraps it like 11:58 or so. And there's the show. Other show starts at noon. I mean, there's some commercials, but you better be up here by like 1201, 1202, you know, and my daughter, my youngest daughter amelia, who's. Who's 13 now, teenager, I guess my. As my mother in law would say, I cannot believe she got really sick. So I sure, I'm sure you folks in the chat, you guys get it. Maddox said Dan the man. Thank you. I hope you all understand. My family comes first. We got a good podcast in, but I got to go take care of my daughter. She got. She's better now. Just a lot of people came home from the inauguration with the inauguration funk. Everybody got sick. Michael, did you hear Evita this morning? I don't know if you know this, but, Michael, can I share the spot trick you did? They had. I'm okay. It's okay. Michael and Evita are like married, so I'm hoping Michael had to run a spot because Evita was coughing so much. Let's go to a commercial. So everybody came home with a little bit of a funk. I think my daughter wasn't even there. Probably caught it when I grabbed her and hugged her on the way back. I feel good. Big show today. Listen, I got to share something with you. When Donald Trump won in 2016, my podcast was not nearly as big as it is now. And I wrote this article I used to write for Conservative Review, and I wrote this piece. I wrote it in the airport on the way back from D.C. and it was a thank you. Now, it was a half hearted kind of sarcastic, wise ass thank you because I wanted to thank all the people who helped Donald Trump get elected. I would like, if you guys are okay with that, to repeat that show again today after covering some breaking news in the beginning. And the first thank you is one. And when I Say thank you. Dreaded air quotes. One won Barack Obama. No, I'm. Did I sleep well? I. It's crazy. Why? Why do you think I slept well? Maybe I took some bib. Dream ghee. Always with. See Jasmine. We got Jasmine here today. Jasmine is our new business manager. We love Jasmine. She's amazing. She started yesterday. She's watching the show. So geek does this little stunt when I talk too much where he got to get to the spot. He asked me if I slept well. I did the ultimate sleep refresh beams Dream powder.

Folks in the chat, by the way, do us a favor. We always like to do this when we welcome everybody. Say hello to Jasmine in the chat. Let's blow up the chat and melt it and show Chris the Bongino army is strong. Jasmine is now a captain. She just got Promoted from lieutenant in the Bongino Army. So everybody a big hello to Jasmine in the chat. Watch that thing. We'll tear it up. We do it best. All right, there you go. I see. There you go. I get it. All right, so I want to do this show. Big thank yous to all the people who got Donald Trump elected. I think some of them are going to surprise you. But I got to get to this first, folks. Look at that show in the chat show. Oh my gosh, did we shut it down already? You guys are so badass. 45.6 per second post per second. That's crazy. Only we could do that. By the way, we are the most powerful live stream anywhere and I am proud to be a part of this. Bungee to army. Did you hear Trump on Hannity last night? Listen, I want you to know I am okay with this. I know there are a lot of swampy Republicans who feel like when we win we should show some courtesy or whatever to outgoing presidents on the Democrat side. But when they win, it's ok. When they weaponize government and they throw you in the freaking clink. I'm not for that. Folks, there is a way to stop this bullshit from happening and the way to stop it from happening is very simple. When they actually break the law, like I believe Joe Biden might have, members of his family were engaged in legal proceedings about it, notably Hunter before the pardons, then I believe there should be a full blown investigation. Why? Well, mercy. What are you stupid? This guy. There were legal proceedings going on showing Biden being implicated in a major international corruption scheme. I'm sorry. The only way to stop weaponized government is to show them what happens when governments turned on them. The difference is we didn't commit any crimes and they did listen very closely to Trump's words here. Listen, I'm all for this. I don't care what any of these swampies tell you. If he's ready to go after Biden, I'm all in. Check this out. I went through four years of hell by this scum that we had to deal with. I went through four years of hell. I spent millions of dollars in legal fees and I won. But I did it the hard way. It's really hard to say that they shouldn't have to go through it. Also, it is very hard to say that because they should have to go through it. Folks, how else do you think the Democrats are going to. What? Let me ask a simple question. Because a couple people from the media reached out yesterday. Guy was nice. So I'm going to leave his name. He wasn't like a really bad but from a left leaning outlet. I'm considering talking to him so. But wasn't. I wasn't mean or anything but I know you're watching my show. So the left leaning media people out here, what lesson do you think Joe Biden and the Biden crime family take from this? The sun was knee deep in, without question what appears to be an international influence peddling scheme. If you think otherwise, you're too stupid to talk to and I really can't help you. The influence peddling campaign was designed to sell access to Joe Biden who was a senator, the vice president and the president. That's clear as day we leave office, Donald Trump gets charged with a fake fraud case with no actual victims. You got a lady up there lobbing charges at him who goes on CNN with one of the wackiest interviews I've ever heard. You've got Judge Engo run people out of New York trying to take all his property. And what, we're supposed to ignore all this? What lesson does the left take out of it? The lesson the left takes out of. This is simple. There are no consequences for us. We can do whatever we want. And you idiots, we're in charge. We're going to hit you guys and you'll do nothing in return. Folks, I'm not about wasting time. We got two years to fix this thing. But I'm glad Donald Trump is actually talking about this. Cutesy time is over. And this is what cutesy time is over looks like. I wanted to make sure we got past Inauguration Day before I did this thank you show because I honestly, I was afraid something crazy was going to happen. We had all these problems with the Secret Service. I think we defeated them so soundly. The resistance kind of had the wind pulled out of their sails, but it's real. So I have a list of people to thank for Trump 2.0 coming up. But I want to get to this first because some, some things are going on right now in the media that if you're not following this show, you're missing. Folks, my Rock Em Sock em robots. I would show you the folks. I broke it yesterday because. Well, you didn't actually. You could. They actually still work. You stick them in there. But I was like. And I Holy. Yeah, that was the. Someone gave me a guitar but I broke. That's a guitar over there. Someone sent me a damn bongino. It's actually pretty cool. It's green though, which is a Little weird. The Rock em sock em robots theory is working. They don't know what to do. They're trying to focus on this mass deportation operation because they love illegals and they're trying to show every single illegal immigrant that gets deported. Oh my gosh, look, they're crying and they can't because then they got to move on to Pete Hegseth and then they got to move on to Tulsi Gabbard and then they got to move on to the war against dei, which is really die. They don't know what it's Rock them Sock em robots. It's not the Trump dance, but it looks like it. It is working. But the media is trying to refocus now and I want you to be cautious. Get ready. This is an important part of the show. There are two things they really care about and you'll see them. If they have to sideline Hegseth Tulsi tax cuts because they have to preserve the open border and they have to preserve their allegiance to dei. It involves two things. Electoral advantage with demographic destiny, bringing people into the country illegally. They've set it off. They can't have that. Stop. They'll never win an election again. You got it? And second, the reason they can't let DEI go is, folks, a merit based society runs counter to everything communists and collectivists believe in. They can't have merit because it would be an entrepreneurial, free market capitalist system where people who work hard succeed. That that's not what communists believe. Am I wasting any time? Guillotine. From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs. They don't care about your merit so they can't give this up. They have to detach you from any objective truth. There's no men, there's no women, there's no merit, there's no nothing. The government's going to tell you. So this happened yesterday. First, on the immigration front, if they don't have legal immigration, they have no chance of winning any additional elections in the future nationally and they know it. Here's Dana Bash. This segment is a little long. It's about 1:30. I try to clip them at a minute, but it's critical you listen to the whole thing. It's Tom Holman. Dana Bash from CNN pretends to be genuinely stunned that when they do these immigration raids, if they find you here illegally, that you'll be deported. Is this woman dopey or is she just pretending to be dopey? Here's Homan. Like, yeah, we're going after the bad guys. But if you're there illegally too, you're going to. And she's like, I want you to watch her face. Because they are so offended we're interrupting their demographic destiny timeline. Check this out.
Michael
And so what is happening as we speak is lim to those with criminal records, that's the target of this operation. But like I said many times in places like sanctuary cities where we can't arrest a bad person in the jail, we would like to have access to the jail to arrest a criminal alien in the safety and security of a county jail, which is safer for the community, safer for the officers, and safer for the alien. But when you release a public safety threat out of a sanctuary jail and won't give us access to them, that means we got to go to the neighborhood and find them. And we will find him. But when we find him, he may be with others. Others that don't have a criminal conviction are in the country legally. They will be arrested too, because we're not going to strike. And this is the difference between the last administration and this administration. ISIS is going to enforce the immigration law. There's nothing in the ina. The Immigration Nationality act says you've got to be convicted of a serious crime in order to be removed from this country. So there's going to be more collateral arrests in sanctuary cities because they forced us to go in the community and find the guy we're looking for.
Dan Bongino
Let me just make sure that I.
Michael
Understand what you're saying, because at first you said that the first targets are those with criminal records, but you are also saying that those who are undocumented in the US Also who don't have criminal records, people who are working in their communities, maybe even have spouses who are American citizens, they could be swept up with ICE today as well. What I'm telling you is when we go find our priority tiger, which is a criminal alien, if he's with others in the United States illegally, we're going to take enforcement action against him. We're going to enforce the immigration law.
Dan Bongino
Why does she need that explained to her twice? Is she unaware that we have an immigration process, that if you violate it, you've actually broken the law? The answer is, folks, she's not stupid. I wish I could tell you that. It's easy. Oh, she's dumb. She's not dumb. She knows that she's pretending to be dumb because this is part of the Democrats long term demographic destiny plan. They are losing people from blue states. They are moving to red states. It's Creating a real conundrum for them. Because the House of Representatives is based on state population. As red state populations in Florida and Texas explode, it gives Florida and Texas massive power in the House of Representatives. The Democrats may never win the House again if the population continues to move to red states. The Electoral College is also based that votes for the President is also based on population. The number of Electoral College votes you get is the House of Representatives members you have plus two. You see what happens here. Two out of the three branches of government are almost entirely determined by illegal immigration. If they can't backfill the population of blue states. Folks, it's not a conspiracy theory, man. They talk about it all the time. If you doubt me, pause the show and go look up demographic destiny. You can watch the video we played a thousand times of Democrats talking about it. Here's Homan again, who's, by the way, an amazing guy. I've known Tom Holman a long time. We're going to try to get him on the radio show. Jim, if we could see if he's available sometime in the coming weeks. Here's Homan hitting hard and hitting fast. Donald Trump's been in office less than a few days. They already got 308 hardcore criminals out of the country. Now, why is this important? Well, obviously, Dan, it's important because they're hardcore criminals. Yeah, but that's not it, folks. If you ever study criminology and if you're in the chat, feel free to chime in right now if you know this, if you studied criminal behavior, sociology. The overwhelming majority of serious crimes are committed by an increasingly small number of lunatics, maybe 1% of the population. I mean, how many serial murderers do you know? The answer is zero, and there's a good reason for it. You get the crazy people out of the country, you're going to see the crime rate drop dramatically. Here's Homan hitting hard, hitting fast. They're getting the bad guys out of the country. Quick. Check this out.
Michael
In the country illegally, ICE can visit you. But right now, as we said repeatedly, the President Trump's been clear. We're concentrating on the worst first, the public safety threats and national security threats. And just yesterday, in the last 24 hours, ISIS rusted over 308, 308 serious criminals. Some of them were murderers, some of them were rapists, some of them raped a child, some were sexual assault of a child. So ISIS doing their job and they're prioritizing just as the President said they would. So the ISIS performing excellent right now, out in the field, I need you.
Dan Bongino
To do me a favor, ladies and gentlemen, because unlike some radio hosts, not the good ones, the Levins and the excellent radio hosts out there, those guys are amazing. I'm asking you to double check my work because it only adds to the relationship you and I have. It makes me more credible and it makes you kind of want to tune in because you know the information is good and is accurate. Look up what I just told you. The overwhelming majority of serious crime. I'm not talking about petty thefts, not that that's not serious matter. We had serious crimes, rapes, felony assaults, home invasions, are committed by an extremely small number of people. That's why Broken Windows policing works. You get 10 or 15 bad guys off the street, those 10 or 15 bad guys were probably going to go on and commit 20 or 30 violent crimes before they got caught. You do the math. This stuff matters. And Homan's taking no shit. Another thing I told you about. I want you to focus on these two things because they are distracted. Rock Em Sock em Robots is working, but they're going to need more. They're going to have to hit them with more. Because if there's two things the Democrats in the media apparatus cannot run away from, they cannot forfeit DEI because of the culture war on objective values, and they cannot forfeit illegal immigration or they'll never win again. They will try their damnedest to make this the focus. It's up to the Trump team to, every time they start to nail down a story, start to distract them with something else because they want illegal immigration. But the DEI stuff is important too. The meltdown continues, folks. The gender ideology stuff, there's no difference between a man and a woman. There are 7,000 genders. Is so freaking stupid. Seriously, a child would understand how moronic this stuff is, but they can't give it up no matter how many times they're humiliated. You had a Supreme Court judge, now Kentanji Brown Jackson, humiliate herself in front of an international audience and ridiculously claim to be an imbecile, stating she does not know what a woman is. It is an adult human female. Is this difficult? There's actual genetic evidence. Of course it isn't. They play dumb. I never ever put this guy on my platform because he's such an embarrassing, humiliating joke that to give this guy even five seconds, it really diminishes the show. But this piece is worth it. You ever heard of this dipshit, this Harry Sisson kid? He's like 12. The guys, why people pay this guy, I have no idea. He's like, I guess a Democrat influencer. He goes on the Piers Morgan show and you'll see, they don't care how dumb they look. They will stick to this DEI gender ideology bullshit no matter what. Because once it goes away, everything in their culture war that people are going to start asking questions about all the other culture war components. Components, too. Watch this segment. Do you think there should be more than two genders in America? Yeah, I don't know what that executive order means. I don't know what the president declared it means. There are two genders, male and female. Would you disagree with that? How many genders are there, Harry? Yeah, come on, little guy. How many genders are. Again, these guys don't know what they're talking about, so they won't be able to. How many genders are there? How many genders are there? What's the. I'm going to use Joe Biden's answers. At least two. At least two. That satisfies. How many more are there? The male. Female. That's a TikTok answer. There's at least two. There's at least two. Well, no, hang on. There's male and female, like human brain. Donald Trump says it's male and female. Okay, okay, Dave, how many more are there after male and female? Harry? There's at least two now. Anyway, let me get back to how many more are there? I mean, it's a pretty freaking simple question, isn't it, folks? I want you put aside this stupidity first. I know it's hard. I'm just asking you from a practical perspective. If you are a member of the United States government that's about to enact laws that are going to protect your fictitious genders, yet you can't even describe what they are, what they're called, or even how many they are. How the are you going to write a law? I know you got to take a break. I want to play this one more, though, before the break. This is soon to be the next leader of Canada. He's way up in the polls. Pierre Poly asked the exact same question of a media guy. You guys keep talking about all these genders you want legal protections for, what are they? It's like asking legal protections for an endangered species. What's the species? Oh, I don't know. We're just making it up. Watch this.
Michael
First day on the job, President Trump signed an executive order, you know, the US Government only recognizing two genders. Male, female. They're unchangeable. You know, if elected as prime minister, is that something that you're going to kind of walk in line with or what are your feelings on that executive order?
Dan Bongino
Well, I don't know. Do you have any other genders that.
Michael
You'D like to name me personally? I'm just asking more. So if you're in line with what he is saying, do you agree with what he's saying? Is that something that you would be lockstep with if elected as prime minister?
Dan Bongino
Well, I'm not aware of any other genders than men and women. I mean, if you have any other that you want me to consider, you're welcome to tell me right now.
Michael
Well, there's others. Personally, I am a man. I am. Okay, we'll say CIS man. There are people there who, you know, they say they're.
Dan Bongino
Me too.
Michael
Gender neutral. You are a man. Yes. There are people out there who say they're gender neutral. Yeah, they say they're gender neutral.
Dan Bongino
I'm aware of two. And as far as I'm concerned, we should have a government that just minds its own damn business and leaves people alone. I'm trying not to laugh. Try to preserve. You want legal protections for a specific gender class. You have no idea exists. You can't name what the gender class is. There is no perimeter around the fence of what you categorize as a gender class. But you want all these legal protections for this gender class. I wake up every morning and I thank the Lord, my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. I mean it. I don't use his name. I do. I thank him. I wake up every morning, I say, I'm Dan Bongino. I love Jesus and Jesus loves me. And you know what? I use these affirmations every day. And I thank him for seeing the light. I don't thank him for being a Republican. We screw stuff up, too. I thank him for seeing the light. I mean it. I really do. Can you imagine being this stupid being a media guy? Hey, you got another gender? No, no. I just heard there was something. Really? So you want me, as a potential leader of Canada, to draw up a massive piece of legislation about something you have no idea about whatsoever? Good job. Quick break. We're back to the show. Yes, I will. I know a lot of people in the chat are asking me about the Secret Service director spot. I kind of said my piece on it last week. Not a lot more to say, but I'll address it quick. And then I want my. Don't miss the next segment. I've got some thank yous. To get out there and they're important. I think you're gonna like this. Been itching to do this show for a long time. We've seen the headlines. Cyber attacks on the grid, drones in the sky, violent attacks on everyday Americans. Here's the ugly truth. No leader, no system can protect you from anything. And if in a crisis and emergency you're waiting for the government to save you, you're going to die. And I'm really sorry to tell you that everyone's going to need food in an emergency and panic buying only makes it worse.

My Patriotsupply.com thank you my Patriots by. We appreciate it. So I've got a ton of questions here, a lot in the chat and I really appreciate it. People were asking me about the official appointment of Sean Curran who is a friend of mine. I don't let that get in the way. I have an obligation to you. I've said that many times as the new Secret Service director. First, I obviously want to congratulate him. It would be kind of declasse to not do that. I hope he does a good job and I think we all hope and pray. I hope we are praying to whatever God you pray to. And I think you know my Savior is Jesus, but I hope that we give him the knowledge and the discernment to do the right thing to fix this broken agency. Folks, there's a lot to fix. I let my feelings be known last week. Sean is a friend. He's a man of high character. He's a man with dignity. I was not sure last week, I'm not sure today it was the right pick for right now. But ladies and gentlemen, that's not my business. I mean, it's my business, cuz I love Donald Trump. I want to protect him. But when I say not my business, I don't mean it in the global way. I mean in the kind of. You get what I'm saying? Donald Trump won the presidency. He's free to pick his own people. That job, as I said to you months ago, was not for me, but I would have liked to at least had some input into some stuff. They didn't want it. That's okay. It is. I know you say people say okay. Trying to sound like it is. It's okay. Maybe they got. They may have gotten the same advice from someone else and they didn't need it. I need you guys to understand that. So I wish him the best. He's a good guy. I'm just not sure he's the right guy for right now. I think he would have been great as a deputy. And you get some other kind of door kicker in there because there are two things I'm going to be watching and I don't care who the director is. It could be my father. If they don't happen, I'm going to be on it like white on rice. They have got to get rid of investigations and they damn well better get rid of protecting foreign dignitaries. They are distracting them from the mission of keeping both President Trump and Vice President Vance alive. So that's all I'm going to say on the matter. Nice guy, really good guy. We all wish him the best. My prayers, candidly, are with him that he can fix this thing. And let's hope he does. But what matters, folks? Do emotions matter? Folks in the chat, what matters? Who gets it first? Do emotions matter? Oh, he's my buddy. Oh, what is that? What matters? What matter? Who gets it first? Who gets it first? Appreciate you, Dan. Thank you. Thank you. Respectfully, Dan. Facts. Oh, who did it? Mindy Kins. Which I think you've beaten everyone to the punch a couple times, if I remember. Mindy Kins says outcomes, that's all that matters. If Sean fixes his place, keeps Donald Trump alive, then he was a damn good pick and we should all celebrate it. We should all give him the accolades he deserves. End of story. There you go, Mindy. Kids knocking it out of the park. Okay, so I told you I've been itching to do this show for a long time. You guys can probably go look up the piece, Anita, see if someone can find it. Conservative Review. I used to write for them years ago. And it should be Posted the day after Trump won the election in 2016. November of 2016. Because I remember writing it from the airport and I had this idea. I'm like, I have to thank a bunch of people. Thank, like being sarcastic. And I thought it's the perfect time to do this again because Trump 2.0 does not happen without this group of idiots. So if we can find a piece, great. Let me take my last break and I'm going to get back to this and the first person we're going to thank and I'm going to bring you the receipts. I get it. I'm saying this sarcastically, but I mean it. Trump 2 and 1.0 does not happen without Barack Obama. I am as serious as a heart attack. You'll see what I mean coming up next.

Ladies and gentlemen, I would appreciate you sharing this segment if you can. Triple Z guy, the maga, Kitty Insurrection, Barbies. You guys get around to it. I want to thank some of the losers who made the mistake of poking the bear. Who, who's the bear? Donald Trump, of course, is the bear. I want to thank Barack Obama. We don't have Trump 1.0 or 2.0 without him. You doubt me? I want you to watch this Inside Edition clip from a little kind of mini scandal that happened years ago when Barack Obama thought he was a real wise ass and a funny guy, attacking at the time civilian Donald Trump for going after Obama. And one thing Donald Trump doesn't like is you try to embarrass him. Donald Trump's gonna make you pay. And, oh, he did. Check this out. Is this the moment Donald Trump decided to run for president?
Michael
Donald Trump is here tonight.
Dan Bongino
The year was 2011. The place the White House correspondents dinner. Trump and his wife Melania were guests.
Michael
At the glittering affair.
Dan Bongino
For the Washington elite, it started pleasantly enough. Trump got a friendly greeting from actress Scott Scarlett Johansson. But inside, it was another story. President Obama started mocking Trump mercilessly, mainly for the role Trump was playing in the birther movement that questioned whether Obama was really born in America.
Michael
No one is happier.
Dan Bongino
No one is prouder to put this.
Michael
Birth certificate matter to rest than the Donald.
Dan Bongino
And that's because he can finally get.
Michael
Back to focus, focusing on the issues that matter. Like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?
Dan Bongino
Obama didn't hide his utter disdain for the reality TV star.
Michael
Obviously, we all know about your credentials.
Dan Bongino
And breadth of experience. For example. No, seriously.
Michael
Just recently in an episode of celebrity apprentice, you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. You fired Gary Busey. And these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night.
Dan Bongino
Everybody. Thank you, B. Thank you, Barack. No, no, I'm serious. Barack Obama thought he was a real smart ass. The media people, like, look at that stupid Donald Trump real estate empire. Number one TV show, manages a billion dollar portfolio. What an idiot. I'd rather be Barack Obama. Who was a. Last time I checked. What was this job again? Michael? Shit. Yes. It was like, nothing. Oh, no, no, no. Come on. He was a community organizer. What does that mean? I don't know. People just make it up. That means when, you know when you go in for a job interview and there's the missing period in your resume, first you worked in fast food and then you had something else. Well, why were you not working for three years? I was organizing in the community. Do you have any witnesses? No, I don't. That was Barack Obama. So Barack Obama thought it'd be a good idea to poke the bear. Poke him. Poke Donald Trump. Folks, I'm going to tell you right now, do not. I'm warning you, media people and everyone else, you poke this guy, I promise you, he will get the last laugh. You want to talk about a guy who lives by the axiomatic language alert, axiomatic truth. Fuck around and find out. You are now in the find out phase. By the way, you see those pens he was throwing out? This is the one he used in his first term to sign the build the wall thing. He gave it to me and my family. Sorry. That was like, look at me, I'm so cool. Really, I have no excuse. I shouldn't have, but it is true. It's my prized possession. I love this thing. Sits right there. I look at it every day. I know that was lame. I shouldn't have said that. It's like talking about your education. Jasmine doesn't know a lot of the golden rules yet. Guys, what's the rule about talking about your education? If you're talking about your education and telling people your degrees, tell everyone in the chat, tell Jasmine you're probably an asshole, right? Nobody cares that you've got an MBA or nobody cares. Okay, so there's my first, thank you, Barack Obama. My second thank you, in no particular order, even though it may look as much, is Joe Biden. Ladies and gentlemen, you may have forgotten this story, but it's an important one. We would not have Donald Trump being martyred by a weaponized justice system. And honestly, I'm not sure he runs again. I can't prove a counterfactual. Hold on, I'm explaining this poorly. Rewind the tape. I hate when I do that. I've got a job to get you the show. Precisely. And succinctly. I am honestly not sure after the 2016 assault on Donald Trump, the collusion hoax and all this stuff, that if they don't go after him using the justice system, that he just doesn't ride off into the sunset. I don't know. He could have made himself a billion dollars. He still had a lot of political capital. People loved him. He could have given speeches. He could have ran all his companies. But the fact that they turned the government against him, I think made him say, I'm not tolerating this shit. I'm going to go in there and clean this mess up. But a lot of you forget that this whole thing started with Mike Flynn, General Mike Flynn with. Don't ever forget this. General Mike Flynn was one of Donald Trump's first appointments in 2016 and national security adviser. I want you to listen to this closely. General Flynn wrote a manifesto. Most people don't know this. Absolutely decimating the intelligence community for all of their failures, saying, you guys are not getting it right. We're going to fix this. The intelligence community. Remember Chuck Schumer? Remember what he said to Rachel Mountain? Pull this for the radio show? He told Rachel Maddow, don't go after the intelligence community. They'll get you six different ways from Sunday. The IC said, no way Mike Flynn is going to be the national security adviser. So they had to take him out. Here's the thing. I'll wrap it up. They had no way to take Mike Flynn out because he'd done nothing wrong. So what happened? They made it up. They said, we're going to charge him with the Logan act, something never successfully charged in American history. It basically made up crimes because Mike Flynn, they said, contacted the Russian ambassador, which is ridiculous. John Kerry went and visited Bashar Al Assad. Whose idea was it to charge Mike Flynn with a made up, fabricated crime? Never successfully charged in United States History. Put it up on the screen please, Daddy. Oh, yes. One Joseph R. Biden. Joe Biden may have personally raised the idea to investigate Mike Flynn. A partially blacked out copy of FBI agent Peter Strokes notes attached to the filing includes a mention that appears to say VP Colon Logan Act. Round of applause for Joe Biden. Thank you, Joe, you and Barack. If it wasn't for you, we don't have Trump 2.0. I'm telling you, we don't. He may have reevaluated his entire career choice, but because you dipshits decided to go after him this way, you poke the bear and the bear bites and scratches. And it hurts. Here's another. Thank you. This woman doesn't get enough gratitude from us folks, and I'm really offended. I love you all. In the chat, we got 138,000 people. Very nice. 139. Why are we not. I don't want to condemn my chat stores because you're the people. But why are we not more gracious to aoc? You guys have really let me down. And ladies, in the chat, you should be thinking, everybody in the chat, thank aoc. No, no, I'm serious. Thank aoc. Without aoc, the dumbest member of Congress and her communist nonsense trying to pull the radical left wing lunatics even farther to the left, without that, there is no way the left gets as crazy as it does, which causes a counter revolution on the right and leads to a massive landslide for Donald Trump. And that's what it was. Everybody thanking it, thank you. Whose name said it? Who said it? BP Sniper. Thanks aoc. Yes, everybody should thank aoc. Thank you again in the chat. Thank aoc. She deserves it. She. She deserves some gratitude. And AOC, again is the dumbest member of Congress, apparently. Can you put the BBC article up first? Apparently missed this story where Donald Trump just won a lawsuit for $15 million because they ridiculously called him a racist. You can see it. It's in the BBC and everywhere. Trump gets 15 million. ABC News defamation case calling Donald Trump a rapist. I promise you, you will find yourself in court and you will lose because it's made up. And you can't do that. Okay? Of course, because AOC is too stupid. Here's AOC calling Donald Trump or implying at least that he's just that. Check this out. All these journalists are like, congresswoman, are you going to the inauguration? Congresswoman, are you going to the inauguration? Are you going to the inauguration? Let me make myself clear. I don't celebrate rapists. So no, I'M not going to the inauguration tomorrow. Okay? I'm. Thank you, guys. Chic. H E M O. Thanks, AOC Sunny Girl says big. Sunny Girl 29. Big thanks. Good job, AOC Nast City Baby says, good job, AOC you played yourself, AOC big thank you. Yes. I'm serious. Thank her. There is no way the Democrat Party becomes as dumb as it is without this idiot pulling to the left. I'm assuming there's going to be a lawsuit coming her way. She did not say it, as far as I know, on the House floor, so I doubt she has any legal protections. So good luck. I hope you got yourself a good attorney, you freaking moron. Another big thank you, folks. I said in no particular order because I'm not sure that this guy isn't even more important than Obama. That's why I had a hard time. Like, who's number one, who's number two? The answer is I don't know. You guys decide. Chat stirs. You tell me what you think. This guy may be more important than Barack Obama to getting Trump elected and Trump 2.0. Would anyone have a guess where I'm going with this? Adam Schiff. Short round says no. Close enough, but not Adam Schiff. I see if anybody gets it. Shifty. A lot of shifties. No, not Axelrod. No. Don Dog. Chuck Schumer. What's that? I'll give you a hint. I'll give you a little bit of a hint. Yeah, he just got a pardon this guy. I want to see if anybody gets it. Who did, who did. Put him up on the screen. Shout out to our chats. We got to take. Yeah, there we go. Who is it? Fitch Munderson. Fitch Munderson. I'm just saying the names, folks. There you go. Yes. Yes. Anthony Fauci. Dr. Anthony. If it wasn't for Fauci, I'm dead serious. I'm not sure Trump even runs again. This guy. There we go. Fitch. Fitch Stir. Good man. Brother or sister? I don't know if. Is that Lucy, my dog and he ever did. Right, Jasmine? Is that not Lucy? That's freaking Lucy. Fitch, have you been at my house? Do we know each other? Fitch. Is that like my. Is that like some anon name for my. That is. That's my dog. I swear to you. That's Lucy Fitch. If that's not my dog, then you got a dog that's like the doppelganger for my dog. Ladies and gentlemen, here is a Maze More video. We love Maze More. One of the best accounts on X To follow an amazing video account. M A Z E M O O R E. Everybody in the Bongino army should be following. It puts in so much work to great videos. Here he is with a little compilation of Foushee, less than a minute, changing his position on just about everything. If it wasn't for this guy, I'm not sure we have this glorious inauguration day. Check this out. First of all, I didn't recommend locking anything down. And the record will show, Neil, that we didn't recommend shutting everything down. I recommended to the President that we shut the country that down. And that was very difficult decision because I knew it would have serious economic consequences, which it did. So Guy just brought up a good point. Not only do we have to. Everybody in the chat thank Fauci. Come on, get in there. You can't just thank AOC. Thank Fauci, Dr. Fauci. But he just brought up a good point. There's no question in my mind the election doesn't turn out. I don't think Trump probably would have won. But does he win in the landslide without these idiots? The answer is I'm not really sure. But Gee's like Dan, you know what? We really owe him a debt of gratitude, too, because this guy has been an absolute cornucopia of content for the last, what, four years? I mean, if there's one guy outside of Mr. Potato Head, Brian Stelter, who has fed this show an endless list of content we can mock and laugh at, I don't know who else wins. So Gee's right. Not just for Donald Trump, but for us. Everybody tagging him. Follow me. Thank you. Speak the truth McGraw and pin that. Follow me is more. Speak the truth began involved here, too, a lot. We got these McGrawn crew. You're always all over it. Okay, I've got a couple more for you. One person, again, who deserves some special accolades from the legal side. We've got a doctor, we've got a vice president, got a president, we've got a member of Congress. Shame on us if we don't enter the legal profession and start to pull people out of the doj. Folks, if deranged Jack Smith. Jack Smith, of course, the special tyrant investigating Donald Trump for a fake crime he made up for a fake insurrection. If Jack Smith does not drop another L, which he did. Remember, this guy's lost at the Supreme Court more than most qualified lawyers will ever see the Supreme Court in their lifetime. If Jack Smith doesn't do what he did prosecuting Donald Trump. I'm not sure Again, we win in the exact dynamic we won with. Here's an MSNBC segment quickly where we note Jack Smith was not given a pardon. So just kind of to parlay back to the beginning of the show. I have no problem with Donald Trump investigating Jack Smith either, and you shouldn't either. But Jack Smith doesn't have a pardon. But you deserve a lot of thanks too. Thanks, Jack Smith in the chat. Check this out of clemency.
Michael
I hope that President Biden will also.
Dan Bongino
Issue preemptive pardons to all of those.
Michael
People threatened by by the injustice of what will become the Department of Justice in the Trump administration. That, of course includes Jack Smith and all of his staff, many Department of Justice lawyers. It includes President Biden himself.
Dan Bongino
Ted said, no pardon for Jack. Does everybody feel bad for Jack? No pardon. Is there like a tear emoji? Everybody cry a little bit. Jack Smith, we feel so bad for you, brother. No pardon. You may have to answer questions now. Gosh, that's so terrible. So terrible, folks. I mean, think about it. Jack Smith may actually have to go pay lawyers. The government may be used against him to investigate his potential. Miss And Malfeas. Oh my gosh. The same thing that happened to Donald Trump. It's so awful. I feel so bad. Don't you? Don't you feel terrible? Jasmine feels awful. She's sitting over there like, I can't even work here. I feel so bad. She's depressed. She doesn't even know what to do. She's like, this is the worst thing ever. He's like, he's pretty funny, but you don't hear the commentary. By the way, when the clips are playing, he's like, you just pulled this segment out of your ass, didn't you? I did not. I swear. I've been thinking about this segment. I'm not kidding. For the longest time. I just had to wait till the inauguration happened because I was deathly afraid I would jinx it. I know I'm a little superstitious. I know I believe in Jesus. Therefore superstition is kind of stupid. Jesus has a plan. But I didn't want to. I didn't want to jinx it. Ok? That's why I got a couple more thank yous. This one's pretty quick, folks. Where would we be without Alejandro Mayorkas? Obviously Biden was the one making the rules. Mayorkas is turning on him. But this four seconds of audio guy, can you actually play this twice? Because I just don't want anyone. It's only four seconds. If it's not for this, four seconds of audio from Al Mayorkas, our DHS secretary about the border where people realize like, wow, these people are really full of shit. I'm not sure the election looks the same way. It did. Watch this. Want to be very clear, our borders are not open. Want to be very clear. Our borders are not open. Want to be very clear, our borders are not open. The trifecta never hurts. People think it. Want to be very clear. Okay, now they're just taking borders are not open. Not open. Not open. Are not open. Are not open. Are not open. You ever see back in the day scratching the one and twos the turntables like Pete nice. Remember Pete nice. Without that ridiculosity, the border should not open. When we had freaking drones sitting there watching millions of people cross the border every month, I honestly, I think it's the first time the normies out there were like, holy shit, Bongino's not crazy. These guys really are nuts. I want to be clear. The border is closed. It's not open. We're watching it, dude, we're watching it right here. There are people climbing through your windows. Like there's nobody in my house. They're climbing through the window right now. Thank you Al Mayorkis. Thank you. Without you, we're just not here. So we got Obama, we got Biden, AOC, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Tyrant Jack Smith, Al Mayorkas. I got two more for you. This one's a little more generic. We spend a lot of time on it. I love economics. Some of you hate it. Don't hate it. It's a great thing. There's a modern, there's a theory out there of economics that's so stupid it's up there without my orcas saying the borders closed. It's called modern monetary theory. Mmt. You can look it up. I'm not going to explain the whole thing because it's stupid. The idea behind modern monetary theory which got in Biden and the Democrats head is it doesn't matter how much money the government spends cuz it can print more. Now if you're sitting there you're like, but if it prints more, it's going to be more money chasing the same products and it's going to be inflation. Yes. But a bunch of PhD loser assholes tried to convince and coax the American people that printing money endlessly was the way to go. If it wasn't for these losers, then I'm honestly not sure we win the election the way we did, we may have lost the Senate. Here's an article in the Hill. No, friend, the conservatives. By the way, the Hill read it. It's in the newsletter today upon Gino.com Newsletter Did Modern Monetary theory elect Donald Trump? They note it's a fringe school of economics. It basically says the government can issue limitless amounts of money. Folks, there were actually people with a PhD who thought you could just print money and nothing would happen. I mean, think about how stupid that is if that were the case. Correct. Why wouldn't you tell everyone in America to just go get an intaglio printer and forget working? Just print your own money. It's a source of wealth. Money doesn't grow on trees. It grows in the United States federal government when you listen to assholes who discuss modern monetary theory. Thank you, modern monetary theorists. And I would say again, up there with Barack Obama, our last one, but I'm not going to. I'm not sure how much credit she deserves. We can't, and you know, we can't do a segment without of course, thanking the great, the legend. Thank her right now in the chat. This will be the last. Thank you. But I want this chat on the record forever. I want you all on the record thanking Kamala Harris as we see in the Telegraph from running potentially the worst presidential campaign in modern American history. Again, this is the Telegraph. No friend to conservatives. Kamala Harris ran the worst presidential campaign in modern American history. Whether it was her failure to answer a question, whether it was her stupid idea to not go on Joe Rogan. Hey, guys, do we do a lot of podcasts? We do a lot of interviews, but not a lot correct. What do we do? You've been here the longest. Which ones do we do? We'll do Megan. We'll do Ben Shapiro. Once in a blue moon. We don't do a lot of podcasts. It's just because I have a kid at home. We don't have a lot of time and my family comes first. What do you guys, if Joe Rogan had asked us to come on, do we go on the show? The hell yeah, we go on the show. He's only the biggest podcaster in the cosmos. Kamala Harris's team was like, do we go on Joe Rogan show? I'm not so sure. There were a thousand stupid things they did. But thank you for surrounding yourself with some morons and running the worst presidential campaign. I did not ask for this, but she's a great dancer. Look at the cringy looking look in her face when she realizes she looks like an idiot. You know, when they laugh at themselves. Look at her, who she is. He loves this clip, by the way. He plays it all the time. I still don't understand your obsession with this ridiculous clip. That was her announcement of our presidential campaign the first time when she got how many votes for president? That's right. Zero. A big goose egg. Thank you, Kamala Harris. All right, I got a couple other things I want to talk about. Please don't go anywhere. It's important stuff. Did you guys. Folks in the chat, did you guys like that segment? Or is it stupid because the show is for you? If a segment is dumb, I'll never repeat it again, I swear. Like the show is for you guys. I mean it from the bottom of my heart. I've been wanting to do that for a long time. Did you like it? Let me see, folks in the chat. If you didn't like it, let me know. Lady Hawk. Absolutely, 100%. Okay. Thank you, guys. I appreciate it. I really thought we had to do that. Yes. Okay, cool. You guys are the best. Okay, back to serious news because we still got some time with you here. And I will be doing the radio show today. My daughter's okay, so don't. Don't sweat that, folks. Donald Trump is not screwing around with the Russians. There is a theory of international geopolitics out there. It's called the crazy man theory, the madman theory. You can look it up. I've described it before. It very simply states that when international leaders with a lot at stake, that is like nuclear war, when they can't predict the actions of the other side, that they'll generally withhold crossing red lines. I'll give you an example to kind of make it real. One of the reasons for as tyrannical and disgusting and evil as Kim Jong Un is, and Kim Jong Il and their predecessor Kim Il Sung, all of them. One of the reasons, despite this tiny, impoverished country, people don't just invade North Korea is because Kim Jong Il is so freaking crazy that they're legit afraid he's going to launch a nuclear weapon. It's called the madman theory of politics. It's not meant to be an insult. Well, with Kim Jong Il, I don't care if you insult me, scumbag. But folks, people cannot predict Donald Trump. So he sends us out on True Social last night about Russia. He's like, hey, bro, listen, Vladimir, you better get this ridiculous war over all caps. It's only going to get worse if we don't make a deal soon. I have no choice but to put together Tariffs, sanctions, and taxes on anything being sold in Russia and the United States. Ladies and gentlemen, he is not kidding. I promise you and Vladimir Putin, if you think this guy is predictable and you think he won't make your life painful, you are out of your mind. I'm not here to give the Russians freaking advice. I share nothing in common with him. But I am here to protect the United States. And if you want this shit to end and you guys don't want to be thrown out of office, Putin, I suggest you listen to him. On a lighter note, folks, Democrats like AOC and others are obviously not that bright. I mean, why would you be a Democrat or a liberal in the first place? But one of the things you expect from liberals, wouldn't you say, guys, is at least the ability to spell basic words. Does anybody know how to spell the word eagle? Anyone? Anyone in the chat? It's a very complicated word. It's kind of like decussation of the pyramids or something like that. Like, it's a really difficult thing to kind of spell out, right? Some people screw up spelling Massachusetts. Here is the mayor of Philadelphia, very happy about the football team. Did you guys see this? This is not a high. She's the mayor of Philadelphia. Listen to her. Get the Eagles chant going and listen to her precise spelling of eagle. Or in her case, E, L, G, S, E, S, Eagles. Let's go, birds. Oh, dude. All right, guys. In the chat, folks. In the chat, geese saying this is an early candidate for, you know, the end of the year. We put together our top 10, top 15 of the year. You guys think that should be considered? If you do, we'll segregate it into our end of the year potential candidates. Tell me in the chat. Yes, you do. No, you don't, because I agree. This is the Democrats. How do you F up eagle? E, L, G. What? Why? Wait, hold on a second. Digest wave. You want two in one show now he's getting out of control. You do? You got it. This is another one. Okay, so a lot of you are saying yes. Okay, well, consider it. I would never, ever, ever ask you for two in the same show, but Guy is correct. You can't time these things. They're random. Tim Burchett, who is one of the best congressmen out there because of his outcomes. I love this guy. He's a congressman in Tennessee. He's on CNN with career bullshitter Jim Acosta, who's back to being the loser he was in the first term. And Acosta goes after Burchett, But Burchett gets the last word. And this is just priceless. Check this out. Covered on cnn, what you're saying. This is not fox, Congressman, you can't.
Michael
Just spin a tail and pull the wool over people's eyes. This is cnn. This is the news.
Dan Bongino
We're asking.
Michael
Come on and tell the truth. And that's why more people are watching.
Dan Bongino
The Cartoon Network spongebob reruns right now. The verdict is in. Jim Acosta just got his ass handed to him. Is this a maze? More clip too. This, this is the next one is. This is another maze. More clip. In case you forget, here is Jim Acosta. You want to talk about a guy, I mean, like the monarch of hoaxes. Here he is repeating every single Donald Trump hoax during the first term. And he has never apologized as far as I know for any of this. He's like they said Fox News. Check this out. This is not fox, Congressman. I can't just spin a tail and.
Michael
Pull the wool over people's eyes. This is cnn. This is the news.
Dan Bongino
We are asking come on and tell the truth.
Michael
It's an alarming choice for a man who has often struggled to unequivocally denounce.
Dan Bongino
White supremacists who recall these moments. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides.
Michael
Those words, those words have power, they have meaning. And when Donald Trump speaks, the world listens. Neo Nazis and white supremacists certainly listen. So why can't he denounce them? Why can't he reject their support?
Dan Bongino
And you had people, and I'm not.
Michael
Talking about the neo Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally. What's your response to Donald Trump saying.
Dan Bongino
She should be fired, that Liz Cheney.
Michael
Should be fired upon? He keeps speaking in these very extreme terms about the potential dangers to the country if he doesn't win in November. He's used words like bloodbath.
Dan Bongino
And CNN is doing great because of people like Acosta. Wait, Michael says there's an is a business update on on cnn, cnbc, CNN to lay off hundreds of employees is post inauguration transformation begins. Sources says in the Fox News. By the way, thank you to my friend Reed Harris from the ufc. He's watching the show live. He says he sent me a picture of a karate man on my phone.
