Out of nowhere, our good friend Geraldo of years past has called me out on national television when a CNN host brings up my name. What an absolute clown. In this episode, I'll cover that, as well as the total crumbling of mainstream media including ANOTHER legal note on The View.

So it is Monday, a brief weekend update because there was not a lot of super exciting activities weekend if you're ever in south Florida. Went to restaurant Blackbird with my friend Cleve and the famous orthodontist. He's in the picture on Twitter if you want to check him out. My buddy Arvind Vacanti. Good man. We had a great time. But Saturday, listen, folks, a lot of people throw these things out there and they say things like, hey, I'm a T shirt and jeans guy. I am. And it's funny because I put out this picture on my Twitter. My X account of me at Blackbird with the orthodontist and the owner of blackbird, who's a really good guy. And again, I'm in, of course, a T shirt and jeans. And there are people like, dude, you dress like a sloth. Whatever. I don't care. You know, I don't like wearing other stuff. The clothes are clean. I'm not. I don't smell bad. I wash them. I just don't like wearing anything else. Okay? So you guys made me feel bad because I love the audience. A bunch of people like you. Stop dressing like a slob. Whatever. So I went out to the mall this weekend. Like the fufu mall. Maybe I'm supposed to be fufu guy. I don't like being fufu guy. Fufu guy ain't my thing. But because some people complain, I feel an obligation to take care of all the hunts. I bought a few shirts. Okay, okay, you're happy now. And Michael, you'll be happy to know they even have buttons. They have buttons. Like, I just discovered the button that. Oh, you found a picture. This was not part of the show. So there's Cleve on the annual blackbird. There's Arvin, his wife Vicky. That's the famous orthodontist. And there's Dan and Paula. Everybody's like, you look like a slob. Everybody, okay, I bought some buttons. Everybody happy now? I May even take a picture for you guys to put in the show of me with a shirt with buttons on. There's the weekend update enough. But I gotta take care of all the audience folks in the chat. Are you cool with me wearing T shirts all the time? Yes. No. Put a. No. If you think I should once in a while, put a shirt on with buttons so I don't look like a slob. Geraldo is back. I never thought Karate man was going to have to happen in real life. So I am trying to desperately find Mr. Miyagi. I just found out that that was not, in fact, a documentary. Karate Kid is fake. I'm devastated. I thought that was real. I was trying to practice the crane and all that stuff, and it didn't really work out. So Karate Man, I may have to implement it in real life. I'm hanging around this weekend and my phone is blowing up. People have my number. They're like, dan, what is up with Geraldo? And I want to say in advance, this clip really isn't that bad. He actually pays me a pretty nice compliment at the end. Whatever. Me and Geraldo were never bitter enemies in real life. We just. We're not. We just fought on tv. It wasn't an act. It wasn't a shtick. The fights were real, I promise you. But whenever I saw him in person, he was always a gentleman. Never rude to me at all. Matter of fact, very nice. But, you know, we were kind of frenemies, you know, on tv, we would fight a lot.

Geraldo Rivera
I'm sick of you, Bongino.
- [05:49]
Dan Bongino
I'm sick of you. This is a surprise. Yeah, I totally forgot. That's it. That's. Is that when he threw the paper clip and a paper at me?
- [05:57]
Geraldo Rivera
I'm sick of you, Bongino.
- [05:58]
Dan Bongino
I'm sick of you. You're a punk. He was sick of me. That, I promise you, that was not a shtick, okay? He really was sick of me because I beat him up on the air a lot. I mean, rhetorically speaking. So he's on CNN this weekend about this persistent rumor with me, with the Secret Service folks. I can't say this enough. There have been zero conversations about me and the Secret Service. I have a job, okay? I'm happy to help them out. If they want some advice on something, that's fine. I don't know where this is coming from. CNN seems convinced I'm leaving to become the Secret Service director. I don't know where they're getting the story from. Their sources are no good, but they Bring on Geraldo. This like a minute and 30. So. But this is worth every second. Listen to the beginning where he. Again, he says, we're going to square up in a bar. Do you understand? Geraldo is 80 years old. He is 80 years old. That's. I'm not. Listen, great. It's fine. I'm not like, scared of anybody's age or anything like that. I'm 50. He's 80. I'm £200. Oh, look at this. I did. This is not. This show is being hijacked today. This. Here it is. The tale of the tape, folks. Dan Bongino, age 49. Only for a couple weeks. We're having the biggest party ever. This party can be so sick. You have no idea. 49. Are you guys coming? Oh, yeah. No. No cameras allowed. 49. Phones have to be checked at the 49. To me. £200. Actually, probably closer to 195 now. 661. Closer to 6, but whatever. 3.44 millimeter. I think they just made that up. 7. Is that my rumble? Oh, reach. Oh, okay, I'll reach. Like following. 3.44 million. That is accurate. Oh, nice record. 17. 0. Which I think they made up because I've never had a professional fight Anyway. Age, Geraldo. 81. They say 140. I think he's closer to 155. 7. Reach. Irrelevant. That was a record. 00 and 17. What is that? No decisions or something? I don't know. But there we go. There's. They wanted to put actual bodies on it. Someone had a locals thing. But I'm glad you didn't, because then Paula would be all mad at me. So there it is. Here's the clip. Geraldo wants to fight me again, and. But he does end it off pretty nice. So it's all in good fun.

Brianna Keilar
Check this out, Dan Bongino, because I'm sure that you saw this. He's been floated as Secret Service director. The possibility of. I mean, there you go. And I just want to be clear for our viewers who aren't familiar, you two sparred a lot on Fox. And, man, am I being understated when I say that. How would you feel about him being Secret Service director?
- [08:28]
Geraldo Rivera
I can't imagine anyone who I feel. I feel more fiercely combative with than Dan Bongino. If he were to walk into a bar and I was having a beer, you know, we probably square off. We disagree on everything. You know, we. You know, I think he has his own set of facts. I think he's, you Know, provocateur. But I go back, I go back to what I said about Major Pete. I have no issue at all with his, with his honesty, his credibility, his character, his patriotism, his love of the Secret Service. I think all those things are positive for Bongino. And you know, I think that in some ways all of these people in the cabinet and you could name others as well, Dr. Oz, are great on TV. They are bigger than life. They're great communicators. I see where the President elect is going with this Cabinet. Can they do the job, you know, the day to day, the administrative stuff running these businesses? And they are giant businesses even though they're government agencies. You know, I guess we'll, we'll see. Some will, some won't. But with Bongino, you know, I would, let me put it this way, if I was a target and Bongino was on the job, I feel that Bongino would keep me safe. He would do the job. Brianna, that is very sick of you, Bongino.
- [09:56]
Dan Bongino
I'm sick of you. I know, I know you're sick of me. A very nice compliment at the end. It's all in good fun, folks. Like I said, we were never. But I don't know where this rumor is coming from. There is no such thing thing out there. Okay, I'm sorry. I don't know where everybody's getting this story. I think there's a natural connection because I worked there. However, that again, I don't know why everybody wants to fight me all the time. It's this fascination with me and fighting and we are not squaring. Can you imagine, folks, I want to leave this year. I know I'm beating. I just can't take pun intended, can you? I mean, listen, I'm 50 and I feel every second of it. The dude is 31 years older than me. Can you imagine squaring up with a guy you outweigh by probably 40 plus pounds in a bar? Oh my gosh, this is just insane. Hilarious. How many people sent that to me this week? All right, getting back to the serious stuff, folks. Listen, with regards to appointments, forget drop my name out of this stuff. We got to talk about the serious stuff. Like Cash Patel over at FBI. There are deep state people freaking out right now because they're realizing with Ratcliffe in there and potentially Cash Patel at the FBI that all of the stuff you heard about, but we could not confirm because of shitty IG investigations and Bob Mueller not doing his homework about the spying on Donald Trump. I mean, you know, Scamapedia, Wikipedia. If you put Spygate in Wikipedia, hilariously, this is why I tell people you mention Wikipedia, hang up on you immediately because you're not a serious person. Wikipedia still calls it a conspiracy theory. The name of the spy was Azra Turk. You can look it up, folks. This is how dumb. By the way, that was just one spy. There were others, too. You know who I'm talking about. They're all over my books. We know the names of the spies. They were spying on the Trump orbit. That's a fact. Cash is gonna go in there and Cash knows where the bodies are buried. And he's got shovels, man. He's ready to rock and roll. That's why they're so terrifying. Cash was on Maria Bartiromo show this weekend. We need this guy at FBI. We don't get him at FBI, they're going to get another person just pouring dirt on it. We're never going to find this stuff out. Watch this. You'll see why they're afraid. I mean, unfortunately, the public has also lost trust in a number of these agencies. Cash, how do you believe Americans will regain trust in our most important law enforcement agencies?
- [12:22]
Cash Patel
One thing, exposure of corruption. Put out the documents. Put out the evidence. We only have gotten halfway down the Russia gate hole. The people need to know that their FBI is restored by knowing full well what they did to unlawfully surveil them. The people need to know that there has been a de. Weaponization, a defanging of the Department of Justice and their houses of worship will no longer be raided, but they need to be shown the documents that said this was the reasoning. They weaponized Justice. And that, in my opinion, is how Congress can, most importantly, secure the trust or re secure the trust of these agencies and departments. President Trump is taking a huge first step with his monumental victory. Now it's up to Congress and the Senate to work with his leaders at DOJ and FBI to put out those documents. And I think doge goes a long way in that. But we're going to need Cabinet secretaries who say, we don't fear the corruption that preceded us. It will make us powerful if we expose it to the American public.
- [13:18]
Dan Bongino
All right, folks, nobody else is talking like this. Who is up for FBI director? This is a critical spot. Ray is out. He's done. Christopher Wray is going to get fired or resigned. There is no way he stays on. You have got to put the squeeze. I can't emphasize this enough. You have got to put the squeeze to deep State people People are policy, man. If you have people at the top who don't directly say, at the FBI, I want to see the files on Spygate on what we did with Donald Trump. I want everybody involved in my office. You are never going to get to the proverbial bottom of it. Oh, I hate that expression. You are not. Everyone else is just going to pretend it didn't happen here. Can I give you a quick example of what I mean in case you think like, this is all BS and I'm making this up? Things happen at agencies if the director and the top doesn't pay attention all the time. And they'll keep going forever, spying unconstitutional activities. When I was a young agent with the Secret Service used to have this thing called protest zones. You'd go to a site. It's a good quick story, but it matters. You would go do a site for the president. They'd say, where's the protest zone where people can protest? Folks, if some of you in the chat see where I'm going with this, What I'm talking about is completely unconstitutional. Dan, you guys did unconstitutional stuff. No one said anything. They did it for probably 30 years. And then what happened? Eventually some really smart citizen was like, wait, so I'm a protester at a site where the president's at, and anyone can walk down that side of the street. Anyone. It's not a secure area. But I have to stay in the protest zone. I'm being treated differently because of my speech. It was the easiest slam dunk First Amendment case ever. The Secret Service instantly puts out a memo. There will be no more protest zones. Has supervisors ensure that the First Amendment's respected. And when you ask people why they did it, the answer you got was, because that was the way we always did it. People are policy. If you don't get a guy in there who's a constitutionalist, who's the director, who goes, hey, wait, we're not allowed to do that. People act like the government is full of these, you know, super geniuses. Not you, but liberals and stuff. And they're gonna figure this stuff out. You need a guy to go in there with a hammer and start breaking stuff. And cash is the guy. And we've got to push all these people through while this chaos is still going on on the left, they are busy eating themselves alive. My cannibalism theory is real. For those of you who don't know it, the right started ignoring Cancel Culture on the left a long time ago. Matter of fact, not only did we ignore them, we Created an entirely parallel economy. X Rumble, Elon. I mean, truth Social parallel economy. We've got Mammoth Nation, you've got Public sq. We've created an entirely different parallel economy. We ignore these idiots. Smart companies are ignoring the left. DEI is dying. The left is never going to give up the power to cancel. So now that they lost the election in humiliating fashion, everybody's blaming the cancel culture. Woke morons, right? The woke morons don't know what to do. They can't go out and tell other donors, hey, we've been wrong the whole time. So the schism developing is shockingly. They're getting crazier. The lefty nut bags are getting actually crazier. There's no reckoning happening at all. Cannibalism. They're starting to eat themselves alive, which is a good thing. This is the time. Full speed ahead. Gas pedal down to push Cash Patel, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK through. This is it. Here's what I mean. I want you to watch two absolute lunatics who. It's interesting that in this segment, the reason I'm playing the segment is these two are big cancel culture advocates and wokesters. And yet they did stuff that would get anyone else canceled. And yet magically, they think the rules don't apply to them. I'll show you what I mean in a second. Here's Joy Reid and Media Matters. Angelo Corazon, two life losers, talking about how the Trump administration is going to start shooting people. Bro, this is real. I told you they were gonna get crazier. Check this out.
- [17:45]
Cash Patel
And the thing is, you cannot drill. You can't say that enough. And I want you to say more about that because you're talking about deploying the US military. Remember, Mark Esper, who was Donald Trump's Secretary of Defense for a while, told him, no, you cannot shoot American citizens. You can't have the military shoot American citizens. He's going to replace people in the. In the Department of Defense of people who will say you can and that you can deploy the military against protesters, that you can arrest journalists for reporting things that Donald Trump doesn't like. That sort of thing.
- [18:14]
Joy Reid
Right?
- [18:15]
Dan Bongino
That is exactly right. I just got a DM from our good friend Leo Terrell. Listen to this, guys. He's watching the show. Hey, Leo, how are you, brother? He said, I can't stop laughing. Karate man. Can I referee to fight? I'm replaying the video over and over. Hilarious. Yes, Leo, you can referee the fight. You just need to have a doctor immediately on standby for the ME And Geraldo. What is the Karate Karate Kid? Was it the Mid Valley Karate Fest or so what was the name of that tournament? Yes, Just have an ambulance on standby. Thank you. Leo. You see what I'm talking about with the crazy people? The crazy people are gonna go crazier. I'm saying this not to sit here and just randomly cover stuff for this show. It's a busy Newsweek. It's actually a lot going on. Even though it's Thanksgiving, we're in the middle of a red hot transition. There's a thousand news stories to talk about. This is the time to Republican leaders, to activists, to candidates getting ready to take office. I'm sorry we're going to go eat turkey on Thanksgiving, but you guys got to move ahead and move ahead fast. They are in total chaos right now. The left has gone crazier. The moderates, the fake moderates don't know what to do. They're fighting with themselves. This they're going to get their sea leg soon. You're going to see it. You got to take advantage of it now. By the way, these are their ambassadors, the new left, Joy Reed and Angelo Corazon. Stay tuned. I'm going to take a quick break and I'm going to show you something after the break to show you what absolute frauds these phony, fake, ridiculous life losers on the left are. Omaha Steaks.

Thanks, Omaha Steaks. So you just saw these two clowns on camera, Joy Reed and Angelo Corazon, talking about how the military is going to start shooting people. This is the craziest we've seen. But again, pointing out to you, the left will eat themselves alive, the left will eat themselves alive, and yet they'll absolve themselves of their own responsibility to abide by the same cancel culture rules. Remember Joy Reed in her homophobic blog? Blog post she claims she had an FBI investigating that because she said someone else did it. You remember this story? MSNBC host Joy Reid says homophobic blog posts were not hers. I got the FBI looking at it. Sure you do, Joy. Now you see why she is the persistent, unchallenged gold medal winner in the dopey media talking head Olympics. I'm sorry, I don't see her losing any time soon. And she's on the panel. So Joy Reid, who wants to cancel everybody else, claiming everybody else is an istophobic foe. Racist, Homophobe, transphobe. She had an actual homophobic blog. She is still, I believe, misleading us about. Let's just say that to be nice, okay? Misleading. Maybe the nicest way possible. She's talking to another guy who wrote a blog on. This is a real story. Angelo Corson of Media Matters who wrote blog posts about, quote his words, about Japs, the jewelry and trannies. Okey dokey. So there you go, folks. You go out on the media, you go out in the media circuit and you tell some story and the story has no nexus to race whatsoever. And some lefty media matters. People's like, he said the word cloud, so that's code for white. This guy's a white supremacist. Oh, wait, wait. 8. 8. How did you know I was going there? How did you. He ran his own story about a cloud. He's a white man. The flags were at half mast. I mean, half staff. There's a bunch of closet Nazis. This is what you get. You get a lady with an actual blog with homophobic posts in it, and she's on MSNBC celebrated with another D bag on there who's got a blog about jewelry, the Japs and trannies. Very nice. Very nice, guys. I mean, what a bunch of slobs These people are. Here's another one. The crazy Sonny Hostin. Sonny Hostin, who has issued 75 different corrections, I believe, over that. Exaggerating. Just. But we're almost there. We're getting there slow. What is it, three now? Maybe four, he said. Oh, wait, there's an update. There's nothing. Here's Sunny Hostin, who's been on the View for the last couple of weeks, condemning all of us, calling us all kinds of nasty names. Here's Sunny Hostin finding out on the show that she is the descendant of actual slaveholders. Is she going to be paying reparations? Is she doing it now? Is she giving her salary away? I'd like to know. Check this out. Wow.
- [24:00]
Joy Reid
I'm a little bit in shock. I just always thought of myself as Puerto Rican, you know, half Puerto Rican. I didn't think I was. My family was originally from Spain and slaveholders.
- [24:12]
Dan Bongino
Yeah. So how are you feeling, my friend?
- [24:15]
Joy Reid
I just. I think it's actually pretty interesting that my husband and I have shared roots.
- [24:23]
Dan Bongino
Yeah.
- [24:24]
Joy Reid
So I do appreciate that. And I think it's great for our children to know this information. I guess it's a fact of life that this is how some people made their living, on the backs of others.
- [24:42]
Dan Bongino
Listen, sarcasm aside for a minute, close that door. Let's open up. Serious door. Okay. You understand. You, the good people watching this show. Good and decent people. You are. I get your emails. I'm reading the Rumble Chat. I see you guys, your dads, you're busting your ass, put food on the table for your kids, get the rent paid, get the mortgage paid. You're walking the dog late at night, getting up in the morning. You have been called the nastiest of names by these people because they hate you. You have done nothing but the right thing in your life. And you have been called the nastiest names. Racist, transaphobe, homophobe. You don't hate anybody. You may dislike people who've done you wrong, but you don't hate anyone for characteristics unrelated to personal interaction at all. And the people telling you this are the descendants of slaveholders, Are a woman who wrote a homophobic blog or had one and claims the FBI is investigating it being hacked. And another guy who condemns conservatives for every single thing they write and fabricates charges of all kinds of nonsense, who wrote a blog about Jews, the Jewry, Japs and trannies. This is who they are. So to the people out there, thank you. On the fence, thinking, you know what, man? Where do I go left or right. At least the right is honest with you. We don't judge anybody by any unrelated characteristics other than how you treat us personally. That's it. Or do you want these other phonies calling everyone else names who are really the bigots themselves? Here's another one who absolutely hates herself. This is again, the schism is real. We have to move ahead right now. We are running out of time. We have to plow ahead. We've got about 100 days to make the Trump agenda real. There's no time for bull. This is it, straight ahead. No time for vacations or nothing. We got to plow ahead. You guys enjoy yourself this week. But the folks in church right ahead. No breaks. Here's Jennifer Rubin, this absolute crazy person at the Washington Post. This is one of the funniest clips you'll see all week. This happened this weekend, too. She is obviously an anti Trump crazy person. She pretended, I think at one time to be a Republican voice at the Washington Post. There's no one broken more in America by Trump other than her. Here she is hilariously claiming how Trump's cabinet picks are too white and his advisors as she puts up a picture on the screen of a bunch of people that aren't white. And she doesn't even catch the irony until, like, she looks. Yeah, well, let's talk about the other ones, not those. This is how crazy they are. Check this out.

Cash Patel
When you put up all those faces.

Dan Bongino
It was 1000 shades of white. Have you noticed that? Remember, I actually thought as I was reading them, we should certainly circle a few of them so that we can say, this is the one I'm talking about now. Yes, exactly. So here we have a little bit more diversity in the slide that you're showing. But the first one, which was the major characters. Yes, it's a thousand shades of white. There's a Hispanic woman, a black man, an Asian man, and matter of fact, the race of some others I don't even know in that panel. That's how, quote, diverse it is. I don't even know. I don't even want to venture a guess. They're all white, except half the people in there aren't white at all. This is who these lunatics are. To anyone out there still on the fence about left or right Trump, or do I go Democrat in the next election? The midterms, as far as I'm concerned, is right around the corner. Please watch this segment, send it to your friends. At least we're honest with you. We're not BSing people okay. These people are full of it, man. They always have been. Is that her in the background? I didn't even catch that. This. Is that like, look at that. Is that like a caricature of her in the background or is that an actual photo? My eyes say, I don't know. Not that good. This woman is losing her mind, man. We broke these people so bad. With the election, folks, there's no way to easily unwind what's going on here. The identity politics embedded in the far left, that's gone crazier since the Trump election, right? Definitely crazier. The identity politics. I need you to understand this. There's no way to easily unwind this. What they're afraid of is. And I'm going to take a break, but I want you to remember this during the break. Keep this in your head. I'm going to show you a couple of clips on the other side and you'll see what I mean. The reason they're all scared to say the obvious, we got to get away from this woke stuff. It's killing us. Is because there is money in it. There are massive donors out there on the left. Billionaires with big money married to division. Because once they divorce us from objective truth, God, faith, family, male versus female, objective truth, things are actually true. They will fill in the blank with falsehoods like government's your God. Government takes the place of objective truth. There's a reason they're doing this. That's why they can't unwind this.

Thank you, Jace. Here's what I mean. I told you to keep in mind this is all about money. There are a big, huge communist socialist interest groups and billionaire donors interested in division. And the best way to foster division is to get people to believe what's true isn't true. There aren't two sexes. There's no God. Your values come from government. That's why they're married to identity politics. I want you to watch these couple segments from the Bill Maher show this weekend. Neil Degrasse Tyson is a very smart astrophysicist. He's also a very dumb political commentator. He is the. He is the epitome of what we call what guys, this. He's the stupid smart person. This is a guy whose IQ is probably seriously 140, 135. Absolute genius when it comes to astrophysics. He is. He's super smart. He also knows jack shit and jack left Town about politics and human behavior. Because he's the example of the stupid smart person is the brain surgeon who comes to your house and goes, hey man, you know your oil needs changing. You know, I can do that. I'm a brain surgeon. You're like, yeah, but you operate on brains. That's pretty hard. Have you ever changed oil? No, but I'm a brain surgeon. Yeah, but you don't know anything about changing oil. That's Neil DeGrasse Tyson. He could tell you anything about black holes. Super smart, doesn't know anything about human impulses and human behavior. Here he is arguing about with Bill Maher about men in women's sports and he cannot state the obvious, that this was a stupid political move, that men are more obviously more powerful than women in sports when it comes to muscle development, things like that. He just can't admit it. But he's an astrophysicist. They can't dial this back. Check this out. Engage with the idea here. What I'm asking is Scientific American is saying basically that the reason why an NBA WNBA team can't beat the Lakers is because of societal bias. What you're saying is not. Scientific American says that. An editor for Scientific American says that who no longer has the job. So don't indict 170 year old magazine because somebody, okay, this is called Scientific American and they're printing something. Someone enters the cesspool that is social media and then participates in that exchange. So why can't you just talk about science? Why can't you just say this is not scientific and Scientific Americans should do better? They can't because they are what? Folks, put it in the chat. Stupid smart people. There is nothing, there is no bigger plague on society than the stupid smart person. They start nuclear wars, they get people killed by the hundreds of millions. They try to organize society outside of their area of expertise. Stupid smart people. Yes. Who just said it? Marin. Marin Will. Stupid smart. Yes. Stupid smart people, they screw up everything they don't understand. They've got a PhD in North Argentinean wine sales and they think they can sell you a freaking Coors Light out of Colorado or whatever. They don't know anything about beer. They do wine or a vaccine or masks or anything else. Folks, I'm serious, man. I'm not messing around. I read this piece this morning somewhere how it's. I think I saw it on X. How the left idolizes people like Fauci, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and these really ridiculously smart people who simply cannot stay in their lane. And they'll take their advice on anything, even if they contradict themselves. They are in love with pseudo expertise. You are in love with something different. You know what it's called? It's called experience. And that's why you're smart, smart people. Because you guys. You got an H Vac guy out there. Listen, anyone in the chat do H Vac repairs. I bring it up because these H Vac systems are, you know, air conditioning, heating, ventilation systems. They're ridiculously complicated. You have to be super smart to know what you're doing with that. You're an H Vac. H Vac guys, are you going to go operate, do a tracheotomy on someone who's choking? No, you're going to call a doctor because that's not what you do. You fix and repair complicated H Vac systems. That's why you are smart. You are the smart, smart people. The lefties are the stupid smart people. Here. Here's another clip. Here's Donna Brazile on Bill Maher's show. She simply cannot admit that society, sane people, are really exhausted with the woke pseudoscience. Stupid smart people, woke bs. She can't admit it because once they admit it, the whole house of cards on the left dries up. And the money dries up too, from the commies. Check this out.

I do believe that they made significant gains. There's no question immigration became an issue.

Dan Bongino
But I'm not going to get into this.
- [36:49]
Cash Patel
Oh, the people are too damn woke. That wasn't an issue. What happened.
- [36:54]
Dan Bongino
Yeah, it was.
- [36:55]
Cash Patel
I disagree with you.
- [36:57]
Dan Bongino
I know. And that's why you're going to keep losing. I mean, it's not to go. Okay. Not to go back to the white.

Cash Patel
Why do you think that? Why do you think that?

Dan Bongino
After you see, they keep telling them lies. Donna Brazile is absolutely committed to this lie that woke. Men can be women, women can be men. I should use xi zhao zhouse pronouns. I should call myself them, even though it's plural and I'm a singular. It doesn't matter. They will keep barreling. I'll keep barreling ahead. Because there's money in hoisting bullshit on their backs. They will not give this up. Here's the good news. The bad news is the left is going to get crazier. The good news is, folks, we plow ahead. I'm telling you, we can make this party irrelevant if they stick to this stuff. I'm not a huge fan of this guy. Obviously put horrors, but I don't. Again, I'm A spreadsheet guy. I don't get emotional. He's actually right with this tweet. He's like, hey, fascinating stuff going on. The politics editor at the Wall Street Journal's laid off today. Washington Post. The national letter was removed. The Washington bureau retrieved. The New York Times replaced a few days ago. MSNBC's getting ready to sell. Tectonic plates are shifting. He's right. Why? Because the left has gotten crazier. And so many people on their side of the aisle, the msnbc, New York Times reader are starting to realize that. You know what? I don't want to be lied to anymore with this men can be women nonsense, the collusion hoax. I don't want to be lied to about the Hunter Biden laptop anymore. It's happening. He is correct. Tectonic plates are shifting. There is a portion of the Democrat party. It's small. It's small, but that's starting to wake up. And they are going to get their sea legs under him, folks. It's like getting hit with that devastating two, that right cross. All of a sudden you're like. You're wobbly. You ever take a liver shot? It takes a couple minutes, man, to get your. But you, you know, you go sit down. I promise you, you're going to get back in the fight. Or maybe not after a good liver shot, but this is the time. This is what you. The media is in absolute chaos. They keep lying to people and now all of a sudden they're afraid of lawsuits here. Unbelievably, this is. I can't believe we're playing this again and again. This is shockingly. You know where I'm going with this, folks in the chat. Anybody know? I love the interaction. Does anybody know where I'm going with this? It happened again. You know, let's see if anyone gets it. Sea legs. No, She's a loser. I'm reading that you're winning. Yeah, yeah. Anyone? What am I. Where are we going with this? Painters. My liver. Enough is enough. Come on. Someone get it. Someone. Sunny. Yes. Who said it? Who said it? Red state deplorable. Red state deplorable. You nailed it. Yes. A third correction on the View this past week from Sunny Hostin. How many times are you going to lie to people and make stuff up and have to issue corrections or mislead people on the air that you got to do this? How embarrassing. Check this out.

I have a legal note.

Dan Bongino
You want to take this one, Joy, or are you. Matt?
- [40:04]
Joy Reid
Nate has long denied all allegations and has not been charged with any crime.
- [40:09]
Dan Bongino
That's true.
- [40:10]
Joy Reid
Also, another legal note. Pete Hegseth's lawyer said he paid the woman in 2023 to head off the threat of a baseless lawsuit. He has denied any wrongdoing.
- [40:21]
Dan Bongino
That's interesting. Pay off the witness now. I can't believe this. I'm not even sure this is. You sure this is an AI or something? I get in here today, and 10 minutes before the show, I'm recording spots for the radio, and Justin's like, dude, there's another legal note. I'm like, I think he's kidding. Like, they got a stick going. Like the Rollo thing in the beginning. Tail of the tape. He's like, I said, play it. And Mayor, I want to hear it. There's been another. How much of this can you possibly take? Here it is. Legal note number four. Check this out. Sorry, everyone.
- [41:03]
Joy Reid
I have another legal note. Both Trump and Pam Bondi have denied allegations of acquit pro quo that his past donation played any role in her office's decision to not take legal action against Trump University when she was, of course, the Attorney General of Florida.

Dan Bongino
Oh, this show is going to be just legal notes.

Cash Patel
And things were selling.

Dan Bongino
We all sit here in the studio. Is this real? Is this really happening? You see why the schism is so beneficial to us. This absolute chaos where all they're doing is going on the air saying something that causes obviously a legal defamation problem, correcting themselves. Eventually you absolutely run out of credibility where the pseudo normies on your side are like, man, I've had enough of this crap. How much more of this can I possibly take? Here's a segment where you're going to. Megyn Kelly did this. Just. This was fantastic, folks. They're trying to dial back the beginning of the show. The left wing media has lost all clout. That Jim Vanderhei from Axios. Did you see that viral clip this weekend where he's like, absolutely melting down? I'll play it tomorrow on the show. The Axios communist guy, he's like, melting down that he's not the news anymore. Didn't we get up in the morning? They are so pissed off that shows like this Thanksgiving week, we're closing in on 160,000 people right now. This is crazy. That is a massive audience. There are even 160,000 people left in the United States that are on the road. They're all watching our show. Nobody can beat us. Nobody beats us. Nobody in the news space beats us. We're number one. We're Number one, the Bongino Army. Pick up your shirt today for the holidays. By the way, store.bongino.com this Bongino army is kicking ass and taking aims. Nobody in the news beats us. Matter of fact, nobody even comes close. We keep kicking everyone's ass in the space. You know why? Because this show is for real and it's authentic. There are other great shows out there too though. I always like to cross promote other people's content because the movement's not about me. It's about a movement. That's why I promote other people's stuff. Some don't. I do. It's my choice. Megan Kelly's got a really good show. Here's Megan on with Jillian Michaels. She was a very popular personality in the fitness space. Jillian Michaels, been a big proponent of health and fitness. I think she's a big backer of RFK too at hhs. But here she is explaining to Jillian Michaels how the lying, bs, nonsense, garbage media is now pushing yet another Russia hoax on Tulsi Gabbard. Why are they doing this? Because her hearings coming up in the next couple months for the confirmation process for the DNI and they want to make sure that they shred her reputation before that. It's all a hoax, of course. Doesn't matter though. Ruining people's lives. That's what the left wing media does. It's a good clip. Check this out.
- [43:56]
Brianna Keilar
This was started by Hillary Clinton. She started the Tulsi because Tulsi was a rising star within Democratic politics. She had all the boxes checked. She was a woman, she was a minority. She was the first this and the first that and she was a combat vet, beautiful, well spoken, like amazing. And then she started to be kind of open minded to what Bernie Sanders was saying and maybe had some problems with the Hillary Clinton messaging and having Hillary shoved down our throat as the Democratic nominee back in 16 and spoke up about it and started to make enemies in the party because of that and then was outraged when she found out the DNC cheated on behalf of Hillary to try to make sure she got the nomination and screwed Bernie. And she was angry and a rift was formed. Then Hillary Clinton called her a Russian asset, just like Hillary Clinton's campaign was the one that made up that Donald Trump was a Russian asset.

Dan Bongino
It is Thanksgiving week. What does that have to do with that clip? Folks, I want you all to really enjoy yourselves this week. I want you to look around and really give thanks for who we are. I was out this weekend. Like I said, I was At Blackbird down in the Jupiter area, down in one of my favorite restaurants. And I was at the mall, and I'm sitting at the mall and I'm buying sneakers. So if you were the guy who ran into me in the store I was buying the sneakers at. So I had had a rough day yesterday. A lot of stuff happened. I'm just getting sick of like political people and stuff. That's why I'm so glad, like I can be out here with you guys and the army and just do what we do best. I hate political people. I can't stand it. They're all a bunch of bottom feeder losers, right? So, had a bit of a rough day yesterday. Trying to like get some people on the straight and narrow who just totally screwing stuff up. So I'm sitting in this store, true story. And you know, I'm getting ready to try these sneakers on. So I'm sitting down on like, you know, a little bench type thing. And Paula saw I was having a rough day. I had a little bit of a fight with my daughter and it was really personally like, what do I, who cares? I mean, I tell you all stupid stuff for, but you know, I have rough days like anyone else. So I'm sitting down just like this, and Paula comes up and I lean my head up against her hip and she's like kind of just like rubbing my head in this store. She's like, you know, it's cool, man, like, we'll get through to today. Like, don't even worry about it. It was kind of like one of those tender moments you have with your spouse, your wife or your boyfriend, your girlfriend. You know what I'm talking about? Turning my bad card or whatever, someone actually gave me a man card to turn in. There it is right there at a book signing. So this guy comes by and in that little moment, he's like, oh my gosh, it is Dan Bongino. And I said, yeah, yeah, man, it's me. And we chatted for a few minutes and it was just really nice to feel like I was part of something special, man. I want you guys to feel good. And then when it is Thanksgiving week, you know, that made me feel really good and I needed it. Everybody out there who comes up to me and sees me in the sneaker place or elsewhere, everyone says the same thing. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulder. Like I've been let out of prison with the election. I feel like there's big things coming. And I want to tell you, instead of talking in you know, otherworldly superlatives and other nonsense. I want to ground it for you folks. The Doge. What? Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. This project are going to take on the Department of Government Efficiency is a huge deal. Now you can argue all you want if you're a big government lefty commie. Well, the Doge isn't really a government bureau. They don't have any real power. You don't understand political power. If you think the guy, Elon Musk, with the biggest news platform in the world, who is going to start opening the books on government inefficiency and exposing it. You don't think that's power, brother? Then get the hell out of the political business. You are too stupid to provide analysis. Go sit down in the corner with your dopey dunce cap on. If we can cut waste out of the government, folks, even a little bit of it. If we can blow up the potential for AI, why not letting it blow us up with the just unbelievable advances in medical technology right around the corner. If we can get the government out of the freaking way. I keep saying it, with material sciences and quantum computing, we are on the verge of something spectacular. I mean it. The economy is getting ready to explode. So I'm going to do one of these quick economic segments. First, folks, I just want to debunk this nonsense because we finally got the data from 2022. The tax data always comes in behind. Always. Damn. Approaching 2025. We just got the data for 2022. This is the last full data set we have. The rich are still paying the most of the taxes. The average income tax rate in 2022 was 14.5%. Those evil 1 percenters paid 23% average rate six times higher. They add in the data that the top 1% only earned 22% of the income and paid 40% of the taxes on income. Now that's the bad news. First, the bad news that they're lying about what the rich do. The top 1% pay 40 cents of every income tax dollar. So they're bullshitting you. But here's the good news. Red states right now are exploding. That is why conservatives, Republicans, libertarians and MAGA supporters are exiting blue states, piling into red states, making it demographically impossible for the Democrats to gain a long term foothold in our politics because the House of Representatives and Electoral College relies on population. Here's Stephen Moore Job market Update Idaho. Red Idaho is soaring with job creation leading the recovery post pandemic. Look at all the states that are exploding right now, Utah, Texas, Florida, exploding with growth. In contrast to D.C. illinois, New York, California. Folks, look at this chart right here. Look at all the states at the top. They're red states. The population transfer is going to decimate the Democrats chances of any long term political movement. They have buried themselves in socialist communist economic policies and there is no demographic trend working from. Look at the bottom, look at the bottom. Illinois, Maryland, Hawaii, District of Columbia. Yeah, I mean, these are all states that are strict. Connecticut, Rhode Island. There's a couple red states in there, but very few. You see exactly what's happening now. I want you to watch this clip from the all in podcast. This is a tech investor, very smart guy. Chamath pal. Appetiya. He was never a big Trump guy or Republican, but he's kind of come over a little bit to our side in the politics. That's why I like to hear what the other side is saying. Very smart guy, though. Here he is right here talking about if we could just get Trump to clean up the tax code with a flatter tax, where we're not paying a thousand different accountants, you know, $22 billion a year to clean up our taxes because no one can figure out what they owe or who they owe. What if we could just clean that up and get a flat tax, the economy would explode. We got an opportunity to do really big stuff. The DOGE cuts government spending and we clean up the tax code. Folks, you are going to be rich, man. We are going to be living in a brave new world. And I ain't talking about Aldous Huxley. Check this out.
- [51:44]
Cash Patel
So could you imagine if these guys basically use DOGE as a mechanism to shrink the tax code, create a flat tax, potentially. I know that that has to be passed by Congress. I understand that. But the idea of just cutting this all the way down and then finding through that process what you actually need, I think can find America 100, 200 basis points of GDP growth. It could be an economic renaissance, folks.
- [52:12]
Dan Bongino
He's not kidding. We are on the verge of something incredibly special. I am not pumping sunshine up your caboose on Thanksgiving week. I'm telling you, we have an opportunity in the next two years before the midterms to completely change the direction of the country. I know I was young when it happened, that I don't want to get out of my lane, but I do remember the 80s, okay? I was born in 1974. By the end of Ronald Reagan's second term, you know, I was 10 years old. Obviously, in 1984, 14 years old in 88. I remember there was nothing like it. Anyone in the chat remember. I know we have a pretty relatively young audience, but do you remember what those years were like? It was almost like zero unemployment. Everybody had not only a job, but a good job. People felt good. The Soviet Union fell. Everybody was buying stuff. I mean, everybody was just doing great. We have the opportunity right now to do that again. And if we could just do a couple of simple things and get the Democrats out of our way, you will see we will be there again. Here's what I mean, Politico. The Democrats, I told you, they get their sea legs. They're already getting ready to stop us from deportations. Folks, we need to get rid of the criminals and bad guys in our society here illegally because they're the ones not forget about economic growth. They're sucking the life out of our population in the non figurative sense. You have people here who are murderers, sex offenders. We know the numbers. They've got to go. Democrats already trying to block it. Already trying to block it. They don't even care that the public polling, as you can see from this article in the Hill, 54% of Americans back mass deportation of immigrants. They notice how they leave the illegal portion out immigrants like they're coming after you if you're here legally. They are not doing that. Folks, this is a drain on our society having people here illegally who are committing crimes for, I mean, obvious reasons. We can just get the Democrats out of our way for the next two years and operate while they're still a little confused. We have the chance for something really special to happen. I want to play this clip for you too. I hate clips of myself because it's kind of stupid. Like, hey, here's me. But these things randomly pop up online. And I saw this one a little bit viral this weekend. I actually love her. You look at the views on it on Twitter and people like, wow, Dan, when did you do that? I think they thought it was yesterday or something. This happened, I don't know, four or five years ago. I went and did a hearing up on Capitol Hill where I was a guest of the Republicans and it was about to defund the police BS that was destroying public safety in America. And I had forgotten this had happened. And the new Democrat minority leader in the House who took over for Nancy Pelosi, the hapless Hakeem Jeffries. It's quick, but me and him. This clip is actually long. I don't have the rest of it, but me and him went at it over the whole BLM movement. Defund the police. Here's just a short clip. This was funny when it happened. I think this guy thought, like, I'm reclaiming my time. Reclaiming my time. It's a people's time. Your time. We pay you. You work for us. Watch this.

Cash Patel
Mr. Bongino, Patrick Krushas was white. Is that correct.
- [55:41]
Dan Bongino
Sir? I have no idea of his. I don't know his parentage.
- [55:44]
Geraldo Rivera
He was white.
- [55:45]
Dan Bongino
I don't know why you're making a racial reclaiming my time.
- [55:48]
Cash Patel
Because black lives matter, sir.
- [55:50]
Dan Bongino
Yeah. All lives matter, sir. Every single life matters. White, black. Professor Butler. I forgot that happened. But Justin tied it up nicely. I do own shirts with buttons on them. And I actually have a tie. I got the poll results. There's a poll result. If I should actually go buy some. What are they? Oh, my gosh, man. This is really bad bot. Gino. Thank you. I'm definitely gonna have to go buy some new clothes. Oh, they're okay. Oh, good, good. Cause I don't. I don't like. I don't wanna wear that. I don't wanna wear that. I'm sorry. I think if the Trump team did call me, which they have not, and asked me to take the Secret Service jump, I think I'd have to say no. Only because I have to be back in a tie. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'd be. But that would be in my head. Like, do I gotta put a tie on for that? Because, you know, my elbows. I actually can't physically put a tie on. Right. Like, I can't. Paula's got to do it. I'm not even kidding. My elbows don't work. No joke. But I did buy some shirts with buttons. I'll take a picture for at least the 4%. We got to take care.
