Dan Bongino
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. I'm just curious, do you guys hear that? When I start the show, I was like, yeah, give me a little bit of juice. Give me a little bit of juice. Like, what is this guy, a drug addict or something? Give me a little bit of juice. Like that Robocop movie when they inject it with this special sauce. Give me a little bit of juice. I was talking about the volume. I needed to turn it up just a little bit. It was just a little low. Folks, listen, there's a lot, a lot of chatter and good chatter. I don't mean chattering kind of a condescending way about picks and cabinet picks and non cabinet picks and EPA picks and DHS picks and Secret Service and FBI and CIA and everything. I'm going to try to wade through the mist today so we don't get distracted in kind of a circular firing squad and tell you what I think is going on, okay? And I hope it helps. You don't have to listen to me at all. You're not obligated. This is a Bongino army. This is a republic. Here I am just a figure in this. I am not a monarch, but I think I've got a pretty good perspective on this. That kind of balances both sides of this. Stay tuned. You'll see what I mean. And then the media is just getting crushed right now. It's so glorious to watch. MSNBC just collapses. Everybody realizes they've been being bullshitted for, for the last, what, 20 years that place has been in existence. Plus, today's show is sponsored by Blackout Coffee. Stop giving your money to woke companies that don't care about you. Go to blackoutcoffee.com Bongino Use coupon code BONGINO for 20% off your first order. I got that. And then also we'll call them anti personnel appointments. In other words, personnel who should not be personnel. After Donald Trump swears in, notably this guy, we'll get to him in a second.

Nope. Dan, you are the king on this show. Thank you. I appreciate. See, here's bruja. Elise Stefanik is a bad call. I get it. Folks, listen, let me try to wade through this because there are, there's this book, okay, called, I think it's called the Plum Book. And it is a list of about a couple thousand, two, maybe 3,000 jobs that fall under the executive branch that the President and his people are going to appoint, okay? The President's not going to be involved with all 3,000 picks. He's going to have the big headliner jobs like you saw yesterday, epa, dhs, sex, state Cabinet, probably the deputies underneath them, obviously Attorney General and that stuff. But they're not going to get involved in like, I mean, not, but like the Bureau of Indian affairs. That's an important job for them. But it's not going to be something probably President Trump's going to personally be involved in. But there's a lot of appointments he's got to make. Now, I'm just being straight with you here. I know a lot of good and decent people. They told me they're going through a very methodical process with this thing. Here's the problem they have. There is not a single appointment they are going to make. I promise. Where you're going to agree with that person 100% of the time. It's just not going to happen. It's not. This is. And I'm not going to comment on the Kristi Noem pick yet because I haven't seen it on True Social. So I'm going to follow my pattern. The Rubio pick seems, seems like that's pretty much a fait accompli at this point for Secretary of State. You have Lee Zeldin. We'll get to that later at epa. Here's the issue. The last time Trump chose a team arrivals approach, this team arrivals approach was meant to bring into the tent people who generally disagreed with Trump and ran against him with the thought that it would mute the resistance to his agenda. Does that make sense? Gee, stop me if this is getting boring. He just figured there's going to be a lot of people out there don't like me who were Never Trump in 2016. You might as well bring them in the tent and then they'll become Team Trump loyalists. That didn't happen. They got inside the tent and they did what? Double barreled Fu Man. They just gave him the double barrel and screwed him over. The Rex Tillersons and others, they shafted his entire, basically his entire presidency. And it took him three and a half years for, you know, to get their sea legs. Luckily they got a lot of stuff done. I shouldn't say three and a half years. They got a lot of stuff done. But it was. The team arrivals approach didn't work this time. What I'm hearing is they're not going to agree on policy with every single appointee. They're not. But they at least initially trust these people to be loyalists to the Trump agenda. If not, I want to say the Trump agenda and that they came out there and they put, before they put their political butts on the line a little bit. That's what I think is going on. So there's going to be a lot of circular firing squad stuff where somebody wants someone and they don't get picked and then boom, everybody, here's my suggestion. Give it a little bit. Trump has had no problem firing people. Trust his judgment on this just for a bit. I know his people are doing their homework. None of these picks are by accident. There's a reason it's happening. I'm just asking you, especially with the Rubio pick and others. Listen, Marco Rubio and I have had some agreements and some disagreements on issues. He's my, one of my senators down here from the state of Florida. Just give it some time. There's a reason they made these picks. They're not by accident. Do you get what I'm saying? Just kind of a lot of times like in the past we thought we had really good people, Bill Barr and others, and they let us down. Jeff Sessions and others and they let us down. This time he's doing it for a reason, folks. Some more good news I said today in the title of the show. More Winning. The winning continues. MSNBC's ratings have completely collapsed. People may may be starting to realize because I'm a numbers guy and a spreadsheets guy that man, this really sucks getting lied to the entire time. Joy Reed down 54%. How Joy Reid is even have an audience to be down 54% is insane. Joy Reid should have one viewer. Joy Reid's mom or dad and then that's it. Which would be zero. But when she's done Joy Reid, the dad stopped watching. It's still mom. So right down 54%. Good call. Gee. Ari Melber, Chris Hayes, Alex Wagner. Morning Joe down 39.6%. We'll round up to 40. Stephanie Rule down 67% that start looking for a new job time. Andrea Mitchell as Rush Limbaugh. I used to say down 40%. Chris Hayes, Alex Wagner. They're just getting crushed, folks. Sooner or later the truth wins. Now I could show you all our ratings from yesterday, but whatever it's it would look self celebratory. I'm just telling you the ratings for this show have never been higher. We kicked ass yesterday. Again, thank you. Bongino Army. The judges ruled. You are the most powerful voice in conservative media and it's not even close. Livestream, vod, audio, Spotify, what is that? You throw in like this ninja stars. Look at this guy. He's got like a little ninja star there out of paper. What is going on here? First he bounces up yesterday kind of scares me a little bit. We're coming up trying to fix the TV screen. Now he's throwing little ninja stars at me. Our ratings are doing great. Number one news live stream yesterday thanks to you. We love you guys. Folks, people find the truth. On a very serious note, put the back padding shit aside for a second. People. Find the truth man. And the Bongino army, you've been getting it done. We are a growing powerful force in this movement and I'm proud to be part of it. We talked about personnel for a second there. Let's talk about anti personnel getting rid of some people. Because folks, if there's not mass firings on day one, day two through day 100. Then this thing has all been for nothing. The hits just keep on coming. And I want to address something, too. Somewhat a tactical disagreement I have with a listener yesterday who's like, Dan, they're doing it all wrong. They're announcing all the people they're going to fire and all the things they're going to do. This is a big mistake. We should sneak up on him. Funny with the ninja stars. Like ninja style. Karate man. I would do karate man, but my right knee is, like, blown out. I slipped in the sauna yesterday. I know things keep breaking. I'm getting old, but I'm going to address why you're wrong. I love that you commented, but you're wrong. But this person's got to go. NBC News FBI Director Christopher Wray is preparing for a possible forced exit under Trump. Hallelujah, please. See, you wouldn't want to be I. This guy has got to go, folks. I said to you, the second Donald Trump swears in, I, Donald J. Trump, he should just whip out a flip phone from his pocket, a Startac from the 90s. It still works. Call up Christopher Wray and say, you're fired in that Donald Trump only way. This guy has got to go. I can make a strong case to you that he has been as incompetent and potentially corrupt an FBI director as Jim Comey. And believe me, that's saying a lot. This guy is awful. It's by Kendallanian, which, of course, you know, is a, you know, a Fusion candy. And Was that a candy? An article, really? Oh. Some people have asked me who I would like to see in charge of the FBI. I'm always hesitant to throw names out there, but I. Cash Patel, I think would be great. I think would be a great addition. Listen, Devin Nunes, who led the spygate investigation, would be really good. Ratcliffe would be pretty good. Again, folks, I understand as I throw these names out there, I'm listening to you guys in the chat. You guys matter to me. I'm here. Someone. Who's it? West Coast360. Cash Patel. Listen, I love you guys in the chat, but I don't. I just want to be clear. Like, this is not a monarchy. If you don't agree with me, say Dan. Say screw that guy. F that guy. And here's why that's fine. Like, that's cool. There's just so many people to pick. There's not going to be unanimity on every single pick is all I was getting At I'm sorry if I was even a little long winded at the beginning of the show. Now, let me get to one of my listeners. Someone reached out via Facebook yesterday and said, dan, the strategy of announcing all this stuff that Trump is gonna do by video is a huge mistake. Because the left can prepare. I'm here to tell you with absolute certainty, certainty, and I'm not absolutely certain about much, but I'm certain about this. You are 100% wrong. And I can tell you, because this is not an ex post facto analysis. I've said to you before in advance for years that that's wrong. The one the left already knows what Trump is going to do. People in government who are getting pink slips, notifications, your job, they're already leaking to the media. So let me be clear and I would like your feedback in the chat here. But let me just be clear on this. People in the media, number one, already know what Trump is going to do. Fact, people all over the government are leaking. I'll give you an example. Someone leaked out the Rubio pic before Trump even got to announce it. That's why I'm not so sure the gnome pick is even real. It was leaked. People already know. Second, what did I tell you about a year, two year, three years ago, over and over again? The way you handle the first hundred days is you do remember Rock Em Sock em Robots? You guys ever play that game with kids? Am I aging myself a little bit now? Everybody's on video games, but back then they had actual games. Like, you'd have to hit little levers and stuff, remember to Rock Em Sock em Robots. And they beat the crap out of each other. Me and my brothers love that game. And if you could hit it really fast, that Rock Em Sock em robot, you beat the hell out of the other robot. That's how you do it. You got to just keep throwing punches. You send out. The minute they're worried about Trump breaking up the international censorship regime, you send out a video about breaking up the DEI regime on universities. The minute they get upset about that, you send out, Stephen Miller is going to be a deputy chief of staff. They start crying about that. You announce Tom Holman and then Rubio. The minute they're upset about that, you announce that you're going to break up the Department of Education. This is the way you do it. Because if you noticed that they're so busy infighting, they don't know what to focus on. They were losing their shit over Tom Homan being appointed border czar and Basically, you haven't heard anything about it in the last 12 hours because they're focused on everything else. This. You do it openly, you do it in their face. You go rock em sock em robot style style. Here's what I mean. Here's Donald Trump releasing another video yesterday. Watch every second of this. This is good. About breaking up our communist university accreditors and the DEI regime. This is super important. The accreditors are what make these universities these factories for communism and socialism. Check this out.

Donald Trump
Tuition costs at colleges and universities have been exploding, and I mean absolutely exploding. While academics have been obsessed with indoctrinating America's youth. The time has come to reclaim our once great educational institutions from the radical left. And we will do that. Our secret weapon will be the college accreditation system. It's called accreditation for a reason. The accreditors are supposed to ensure that schools are not ripping off students and taxpayers, but they have failed totally. When I return to the White House, I will fire the radical left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxists, maniacs and lunatics. We will then accept applications for new accreditors who will impose real standards on colleges once again and once and for all. These standards will include defending the American tradition and Western civilization, protecting free speech, eliminating wasteful administrative positions that drive up costs, incredibly removing all Marxist diversity, equity and inclusion bureaucrats, offering options for accelerated and low cost degrees, providing meaningful job placement and career services, and implementing college entrance and exit exams to prove that students are actually learning and getting their money's worth.

Dan Bongino
So to the gentleman who reached out to me at Facebook, I love you. This is not a monarchy. I can't say that enough. This is a family. We don't have to agree. But I have to be firm here in telling you you are definitely wrong. Do you see how this approach works better when you hit them rock em sock em robot style? Think about this. I've been in the media business a long time. We have bongino.com. evita writes there, Matt writes there. We've got articles there. Still. They have one column, they'll pretty much write a day. It's the exact same thing at the Washington Post and the New York Times. If you have one column and you're an anti Trump lunatic like a Jennifer Rubin, what do you write about? Right? What do you write about that day? Tom Holman. It's a Nazi. I mean, Stephen Miller's a fascist. I mean they're gonna break up the university. I mean they're gonna break up the department they don't know what to do. They don't know what to do. They were still busy, focused on Trump breaking up the censorship regime. They worried about him firing the FBI guy. They don't know what to write about. Trust your boy. Have I led you astray on anything? Trust your boy. DBots. Trust your boy. I told you JD was the pick. Some of you didn't believe me. He was the pick. Told you to vote early. We'd kick their ass. They weren't prepared for it. We. What did we do on the radio show? We focused on the Senate because it mattered. We're up 53 seats. Your boy is not gonna lead you astray into the wilderness, okay? This is the only way. Because now Jennifer Rubin's writing a piece right now. I'm probably not doing it in pen, but I used to. I didn't even learn to type till I was, like, in Secret Service school. I used to love to write everything down. It's true. I was like the, you know, the Hunt and Peck guy. Jennifer Rubin right now is like, my gosh, they're going to fire at creditors. We will not be able to institute communism in universities. We're going to lose our ideological power over the. Over the younglings. The younglings. As she's writing this article, she's watching this video. Here's the same video at the end. She's like, wait, wait, wait. Now she's got to scratch the whole column out and say, holy shit, there was something even worse in this video. Trump is going to break up the Department of Education. Folks, hair is getting pulled out in chunks right now. Whole chunks, like you're going to have a big donut around your head. Chunks are being pulled out right now. Here, watch this same video.
- [18:11]
Donald Trump
And one other thing I'll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of education in Washington, D.C. and sending all education and education work and needs back to the States. We want them to run the education of our children because they'll do a much better job of it. You can't do worse. We spend more money per pupil by three times than any other nation, and yet we're absolutely at the bottom. We're one of the worst.
- [18:44]
Dan Bongino
You see? You see, man? You see what I'm telling you? They don't know what to write about. They're still busy writing about Kamala Harris sucks. Joe Biden should have got out sooner. Republicans are racist, Nazi, misogynist, anti immigrant. They're still busy writing notes. They're not even done with those. They don't know what to do. Please, Seriously, I know it's joking, but please trust me. I promise you, I have no dog in this fight. I swear to you, as my loyal listeners, I love you guys. I have no dog in this fight. I'm not looking for a job. I'm not looking for pack donations. I don't want your money. I don't want anything. I have no dog in the fight other than you and my credibility. This is the only way to do this. And by the way, these things are so fast and furious. I gotta tell you, I've had a tough time triaging the show about what to put in the show because Trump has launched so many nuclear bombs against the left and the deep state, I can't even fit it all in the show. This thing about university accreditors is a big deal. Those are credit. You have to be accredited to get federal money. When the accreditors tell colleges, hey, basically do commie stuff. That's why we've got communist universities. You break that cartel, you've got a whole new education system. And the Department of Education has been nothing more than an outlet, bureaucratic outlet for the teachers unions that have screwed over kids forever. This is huge stuff. By the end of this show, we'll have 10 more things to talk about on the radio show, folks, the fountain of good news, man, just keeps pouring water out of the spigot. I'm not even done. Remember that lawyer who's telling their clients to leave the country? He got so humiliated, even he's trying to change his story now, too. You see what I mean? Coming up in a second. Quick break. Birch Gold. Hey. For those of us holding our breath for the past several months can exhale. Finally, work can finally be done on the big issues the country's facing. One of the most significant is our tidal wave and national debt. It's coming ashore. We're deep in the red. That debt's a house of cards that unfortunately can't be quickly dismantled. So the strategy remains the same. Diversify your savings, like I do. I have bought gold and still buy gold from Birchgold. B I R C H. So many things are out of our control, out of the President's control. It's important to have a safe haven for your savings.

Reply, Text Dan to 989-898 thanks, Birch Gold. All right, back to the show. As I told you folks, the spigot of good news is open. I have seen very little bad news. Again, there's a couple picks. I'm like, I'd like to see Rick Scott wrap up on the majority side, the Senate majority leader, folks. There's been a lot of beef on that, too. Another radio host going after people. This guy's terrible. There's three picks, folks. We live in the real world. You got to pick one or three. I am not looking for someone. I need to like, date on a dating website. I'm married. I'm looking for someone and going spreadsheet. More conservative or less conservative. That's it. That's all I'm looking for. But the spigot of good news hasn't stopped. Look at this. This is that lawyer, Mark Zaid, who is telling some of his clients, hey, man, Trump may be into retribution. You may have to leave the country. Watch this guy change his story to I'm telling my clients to take a vacation. Why did he do that? He thought that was going to make him a hero and he realizes now he looks like a moron. Because even some of these left leaning but not totally radical media people are starting to realize they look ridiculous right now. Watch this.
- [22:53]
Christopher Wray
So it would be naive and foolish for us not to take any of this seriously. And we're preparing now. I've represented a lot of clients who have been specific targets of President Trump and those around him. We're not just talking about my federal employee. Workers in different agencies who are uncomfortable. Like you've just heard in this last segment, we're talking about people who have been specifically called out by the former president, United States. And we're not, we're not rushing to it. I'm not saying sell your home, move overseas, never come back, become an expat. I'm telling certain clients, a small number that, you know what, take a vacation for inauguration.
- [23:36]
Dan Bongino
Yes, take a vacation, an extended one. I think our offer still stands. First class tickets all around the globe to the other side. No return pass for you. Surrender your passport in that foreign country and don't come back. Folks this kind of insanity on the left. This guy was pretty much laughed at. I'm just telling you now. The far lefties still believe it. The Rachel Maddows. But the folks yesterday who I played at the end, Philippe Reines, and all these tactical people who want to win elections, they realize they sound like total morons. They're the only ones that do this. You don't see me doing this. What did I say before the election? We lose. It would have sucked. But I'd be back to fight in the midterms. I would. I did the same thing in 2020. I had so many people email. It's over, it's over. I'm never voting again. Nothing's over, man. You gotta go first blood John Rambo style at the end to Colonel Troutman. Nothing's over. It's not over. The country's not over. It's never over. The great thing about the United States is when other countries are over, we're not over. And when they think they're over, we help them not be over. Here's a decent pick. I like Lee Zeldin at epa. Lee Zeldin ran for governor in New York. Ran a really competitive race. You know why I like Zeldin at epa? People are like, oh, my gosh, is he a big environmental guy? I don't know, but I know he's a big. He's good on business. And the first couple things coming out of the EPA where basically how to make the economy motor and jive more with a relatively clean environment. I mean, we all want water to be clean and all that other stuff, despite the leftist claims. But you gotta focus on business first. Cause if we don't have the money to keep the environment clean, you're not gonna have an environment. The whole place is gonna burn down. So that, I think, was a decent pick. All right, enough on the picks. I wanna move on to some other stuff. Folks, the media freakout has continued. The media freak out is a really good sign. As I always tell you tactically, you know, I try to apply. I hate fancy, stupid SAT words all the time. When people try to sound smart, it's nothing wrong with using, you know, you having a good vocabulary. But when people try to sound smart, it drives me crazy. You ever hear the word rubric? We put together a rubric, whatever, rubric. But I like to put together a rubric for you of political strategies, so that the things I'm telling you fit into a bigger narrative. And one of the things I've always told you is gauge the effectiveness of where you are politically in your strategy by the response of your political opponents when they freak out, you could tell you're doing something right. The Trump transition, which has just started, has been so effective that the media again does not have their sea legs. There are actually people on late night shows crying that Donald Trump won. Now if this doesn't show this John Dickerson clip, it's quick, but this John Dickerson quit. Now this guy claims to be a journalist. He's crying. If this guy. Now I'm an opinion guy, folks. I've shed a few tears on this show when things broke really bad. I don't care. Turn in your man car, whatever. I'm an opinion guy. I don't pretend to be a journalist. If you're pretending to be a journalist and you're not pretending to be a partisan actor, why the hell would you be crying that Donald Trump won? You don't believe me? Watch it yourself. Check this out. How would you explain that to a 14 year old today? How would you explain this election? I'll try not to think about my boys because. Yes. What in the was that? This guy's pretending to be a journalist. His entire job is to be a nonpartisan actor. To put out there he's facts. He's crying. What the hell's gonna happen to your boys? What are you even talking about? They won't have to have their nads cut off because some crazy left wing lunatic tells them they're a girl or something. What is wrong with these people? Just don't pretend. Just be honest. You're obviously a liberal who's upset that the conservative candidate DJ T won. Just be honest about it. I'm not. There's no fake in the funk on my end at all. I'm happy. I don't like Kamala Harris. I don't like communism. Why are you such a phony and a fake? Here's another gem, folks. You know Deep State Kendall, put up the Intercept article first. I can't play this article. I cannot play this on the show. More Kendallanian. Whenever you see an article by NBC, remember this name. Everybody remember the name, everyone in the chat. Now promise me you will remember the name. Because if you don't remember the names of these people, you will not understand what's good, the subtext of what they're writing. When Kendallaney. Leave that up for a second. When Kendallanian at NBC speaks, assume it is for the intelligence Deep State. Someone in the Deep state intelligence thing that hates us is talking for him here's. An intercept article from 2014 about Ken Delaney. The Intercept is not a right wing outlet. This. They call him the CIA's mop up man. They note that he runs his stuff by the CIA basically before he goes out there and puts it out there. Kendallanian was a PPT poker. He was a spygate guy. Kendallanian is a disaster when he's talking. Assume it's the deep state and you'll be fine. Listen to this clip. This is really important. It's Kendallinian, obviously. And it's Kendallinian whining that he thinks people involved in this weaponization and lawfare of the government against Donald Trump may find themselves under investigation themselves. This is the Deep State whining through Ken D. The D. Check this out.

Ken Dilanian
The tension you described that the New York Times reported on within the transition team was described to us as a battle between the normies and the crazies. Although of course the people we're talking about would disagree with that characterization. We focused on a couple of lawyers. One is one's name Mike Davis, he's a very conservative kind of a bomb throwing provocateur who used to clerk for Justice. Neil Gorsuch, he's an advisor to the transition team and he has been out there publicly saying that Donald Trump should prosecute people like the Attorney General Tish James and Jack Smith, the special counsel, that his Justice Department should do that. He's actually articulating which crimes they should be prosecuted for and he's making no bones about that. The other person we talked about is Mark Paoletta. He is the former general counsel of the Office in Management and Budget under in Donald Trump's first term. And he has been out there not specifically advocating that the DOJ should prosecute individuals, but he is justifying the idea that the President can order the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute specific cases. So he's laying the legal groundwork. Now the thing about that is that would violate five decades of of norms post Watergate which said that the Justice Department should be independent from the President, that the president should never say go investigate that person.
- [30:25]
Dan Bongino
This is the deep state freaking out. Listen to your guy. So who are the two names, you guys, I hope wrote that down in your brain. They're worried about the great Mike Davis and another great guy, Mark Paoletta. Why? Because these guys are make America great again loyalists who believe in the Constitution and understand exactly what the deep state did. That's why the deep state is leaking to the CIA's mop up man, Ken Delanian to put it out on NBC. He's trying to scare people. Oh, look, if Kendallanian talks about it on msnbc, they'll back off Davis and they'll back off Palin. No one's backing off anything. No one listens to you idiots anymore. Matter of fact, I assure you the Trump team's hitting the gas pedal on these two. This anytime you hear Kendallanian go, my gosh, these two guys are bad news. Those two guys should go to the front of the chart to be hired immediately because it means the deep state is freaked out that accountability is coming and norms were violated. Nor they're worried about norms suggesting the president should never, ever have a role in DOJ prosecutions. Really? That's never happened. Stay tuned and we'll poke holes in that BS because that is absolute crap. Which is totally expected from Ken Delaney. Hey, it's time for you to be awake, not woke.

You sell folks. As for Kendall's assertion, again speaking for the deep state, he's their puppet. We're really worried about Mike Davis and Paoletta influencing DOJ appointments and all this other stuff because the DOJ will be influenced by Donald Trump. Please cut the bs. Please stop. You're making a fool out of yourself. Ken, we all know Biden pushed Garland to prosecute Donald Trump. How would you know that Dan? Well, I'm going to cite a far right wing source, Michael. You know the far right outlet called Politico? Very far right. I mean they are as mag as it gets. Dan Politico isn't their nickname Bullshit Echo. Yes it is. This is actually a far left side, of course I'm kidding. But this is actually Politico. White House frustration with Merrick Garland grows. Who do you think leaked that folks? The White House. Because they were pressuring Merrick Garland behind the scenes to prosecute Donald Trump and the prosecutions, which by the way happened. And you have Jack Smith, you have Colangelo over at Twinkie's office in Manhattan. Biden wasn't happy because they weren't moving fast enough. That's the only reason. So please stop the bullshit. Kendall. Stop. I know you're the CIA's mop up guy. The deep state's whining. The deep state's finished. It's over. We've got four years to clean up the mess and I promise you we're not stopping until everybody who had their fingerprints over this deep state madness gets fired. We always bring the receipts. The minute you explain this, we'll back off. Not backing off anything, folks. They're losing their minds right now and they don't know what to do. So the great part about chaos within the mainstream media ecosystem is it gives us an opportunity to take advantage of it. Because as I said to you in the beginning, it's critical you understand this. The show is very focused on political tactics. I love it. It's like coaching a football game and being the offensive coordinator. We have to hit them rock em, sock em robot style. They only have a limited amount of time on the air. When I was doing my show at Fox, we would do, we would tape on Friday night for Saturday, right? We started our meetings on Tuesday. Everybody. I had a great team. They were really awesome. Sabrina, Will, Kristen, Katie, they were all fantastic. Loved them all. They would all throw ideas my way. This guest, that guest. There's only about 42 minutes of content an hour show on cable, maybe even a little less. You don't have time. By the time you get through with all the stingers, it's probably 36 minutes. You don't have time. You keep hitting them with 1000 things while they're in chaos. They don't have time to cover anything else. So out of frustration, I want you to listen to this clip because they don't seem to be getting sea legs on anything. They're not stopping Homan, they're not stopping Steve Miller. Trump just keeps rolling out policy stuff. What do they do, folks? They go right back to Russia. That's all they have. They don't have anything else. This is how you know, you know their production teams have run out of ideas. Check this out. Assess that Russia favored Donald Trump in this election. That Russia interfered in a fairly dramatic and visible fashion with these fake videos. What consequence are they going to pay if any for doing that? They don't have anything else. They don't have anything else. Do you understand that the production team has run out of pitches? You know, pitches they're called. Obviously they don't have anything else. So someone on the team, some EP is like, hey man, this Russia thing always sells. Dan, come on. It's not that shallow. Yes, it is. It is that shallow when you're a left wing media outlet. I promise it is that shallow. Eyeballs matter. The lefties who watch these networks eat this stuff up and now that they're getting crushed in ratings. Yes. Thank you. Snopes. Left wing snopes. Vladimir Putin endorsed Kamala Harris, ok? So please cut the shit. He endorsed Kamala. Who brought that up? Michael. Michael. They don't have anything else. You saw the ratings in the beginning of the show from that end. Wokeness, by the way, great account. By the way. The MSNBC's ratings are in a freefall. People are panicking, guys. You know one of the, one of the bennies of having been on tv, radio and podcasting is obviously you get experience and all this experience matters, right? I mean, I don't know how to build a table. I'm not a carpenter. I go to a carpenter. I was there. I was there for a long time. Our show kicked ass, man. We were number one over there on the weekends, right? I'm telling you, this is how it goes. You will lose your job if you do not produce freaking eyeballs, period. I own my show. If you guys watch or not. I'm not going anywhere. Fox will say, hey, beat it. And so will msnbc. That's why the Russia stuff is happening because they don't have anything else. And they're like, well, I used to rate with Rachel Maddow, folks. You gotta hit them over and over and over again. When you hit them over and over again, rock em sock em robot style, they will never ever get their sea legs. I want you to watch what happens in this media. Freak out. This is Ana Navarro. She doesn't know what to do about Homan and the border. The fact that Trump is appointing a lot of closed border, anti illegal immigration, which is a good thing, specialists is driving them absolutely nuts. So watch them dial up the hysteria because again, it's about eyeballs. They know their audience needs to be like riled up about something after they lost the election. So you're going to see this thing get turned up, you're going to see a few people dial it down, but most of them are going to turn that volume button up. Watch this. Well, if you thought he wasn't being serious, the appointment of Tom Holman today as border sar. And he will be in charge of a mass deportation program. The largest the country has ever seen, they say. And now Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff should let you know that he was absolutely serious. And when you talk about mass deportations, people think, oh, it's just going to be the criminals. There's not enough criminals, aliens in the federal prison system for it to be mass deportations. Michael just said it right? He's like, this is the most clippable show I'm like my show. He goes, no, not your show, the View. This is an endless plethora, a cornucopia of material for the show. It is a. It's a perfect kind of symbiosis of left wing America. It is. You've got two hosts on the panel, Whoopi and Joy, who, honestly, folks, don't know anything about politics at all. The stuff that comes out of their mouths is so stupid and ridiculous. It's just, it's just basically fodder for us to laugh at. Then you've got Sunny Hostin who knows a little bit about politics. Just everything she knows is wrong, so she'll throw out these things. Oh, man, the GOP really needs to do an internal. What are you talking about? We won, you idiots. Then you've got Alissa Farah, who is an absolute rhino sellout who will say anything for a buck, she don't care. And then you've got usually a guest who's some far left lunatic. So the View is perfect. They're telling their audience this as if they absolutely believe it, like this is their thing. Like the fascist Nazis are coming to deport grandmas and everything like that. Folks, there's probably 15 million people in the country illegally. It would be nice if they weren't here illegally. But we're going to have to prioritize the dangerous ones first because sadly, the Biden Harris team let so many dangerous people in here that Homan and the team are gonna have to get rid of them first. Navarro's just making all this stuff up because she knows again, it's fodder for the now decreasing amount of eyeballs they have on their show and they don't wanna lose their job. Here's John Karl, liberal activist, 100% pretends to be a journalist, but just like Dickerson probably cried when Donald Trump won, these people are sad. Isn't he our. Isn't he our bronze medalist in the Dopey Media Talking Head Olympics? Is he in there at all? He is, right? I'm like, Anita, I know you've got the official list. You got to pin that. We have the dopey Media Talking Head Olympics. Do you know the official rankings? I thought Carl was Joy Scarborough. Yeah, I thought so. Yeah, we had a whole big ceremony. I mean, listen, the guy deserves recognition. He. Come on, take this guy's moment away. I mean, seriously, he's going to be upset. We're going to get a nasty grip. We're going to get a nasty gram at the show. John Carl's team is going to be very upset. There was a whole big, like, ceremony we did and everything. Here's John Carl. He can't believe it. He's got Vivek on his, on his, on his set and Vivek saying the same thing, like, hey, listen, we ran on a large deportation of people who broke our laws, who don't belong in the country, and yes, we're going to do it. And Carl's just incredulous. He can't believe the Republican Party actually means what it says, even after the election. Check this out. Obviously, Trump's promised, and you've talked a lot about this, the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants. First of all, do you really think that we're going to see him round up and deport upwards of 11? Sometimes he's put the number as high as 20 million people out of the United States. Is that really going to happen? Donald Trump's campaign promise was the largest mass deportation in American history, and he's going to keep that promise. They can't get over it. They think we were kidding. We were not kidding. Michael brought up an interesting point too. We're a little upset at John Carl. We put together this big ceremony for him. The dopey media, talking head Olympics guy put together some, some quality graphics. These guys worked hard on this. Uh, we've got his medal and no one ever claimed it. It's just sitting here gathering dust. It's not a museum. John, come collect your stuff. Send Justin an address. He's waiting, and we'll send you your medal. You should be proud of yourself. It took a lot to dislodge. Was it Brian Stelter or whoever the hell that was from the third spot. I mean, he'd been there for a long time. Come on, Johnny Bots, get it together. Here's another one. This is why they're upset about Tom Homan. Folks, my humble opinion. So far, the most critical pick we've had as Homan is the borders are because Homan, listen to me on this. You ready? This is important. Everybody pay attention. I'm not the Donald Trump whisperer. I know Donald Trump, but, you know, I'm not. I'm not going to overemphasize like how I hate name droppers. End of story. You get the point. We know each other. He's been a nice guy to me. I'm just going to leave it there. Tom Homan has Donald Trump's ear. He trusts Tom Homan over everyone at the border. Homan is going to be not like it on a Hierarchy scale, like above the DHS secretary or CBP or anything. But they're going to be relaying information to him and he's going to be the one getting it to Donald Trump. Homan is a bulldog on the border and it's why you're seeing the freak out. So dial it back. The show's got to make sense. Everything's got to fit in the puzzle. Gauge the effectiveness of an appointment, a political tactic, whatever, by the response of your opponents. Why are they upset about Tom Homan? Because he knows his and he eats the left alive and takes none of their bs. Do you remember this exchange with this absolute dimwit AOC on the border? AOC doesn't realize it's not legal to claim asylum outside of a port of entry. You have to go to a port of entry. You can't just walk in the country, go asylum. That's not the way it works. Watch this. And so the recommendation of the many that you recommended, you recommended family separation.
- [45:50]
AOC
I recommend a zero tolerance, which includes family separation. The same as is with every US Citizen. Parent gets arrested when they're with a child.
- [45:58]
Dan Bongino
Zero tolerance was interpreted as the policy that separated children from their father.
- [46:03]
AOC
If I get arrested for DUI and I have a young child in a car, I'm going to be separated. When I was a police officer in New York and I arrested a father for domestic violence, I separated that.
- [46:12]
Dan Bongino
Mr. Homan, with all due respect, legal asylees are not charged with any crime.
- [46:20]
AOC
When you're in the country illegally. Is Violation 8, United States Code 1325.
- [46:24]
Dan Bongino
Seeking asylum is legal.
- [46:26]
AOC
If you want to seek asylum and go through the port of entry, do it the legal way. The Attorney General of the United States has made that clear.
- [46:33]
Dan Bongino
Okay, Mr. Chair, the, the, the memo is she doesn't even know, folks, that it is not legal to claim asylum while entering the country illegally. I mean, think about that. Anybody could cross the border anytime. Not at an airport. You. I live near the wall. It's Florida. Everybody lives near the water. However, we live pretty close, right? You guys can see from the studio it's not far. Would it be legal for a bunch of Haitian or whatever immigrants, Cuban immigrants, to just land in Stewart and just say asylum? That's not the way it works. You have to go to a port of entry. AOC doesn't even know this. This is why they don't like Tom Homan. Gauge the effectiveness of your strategy by the response of your opponents when they freak out. Here's going to be the difference between now and 2016. Trump had surrounded himself in 2016 with rivals. I said this in the beginning. He did it for a reason. He thought it would mute the anti Trump response. It wasn't the tactically dumbest decision in the beginning. It wasn't. It was probably a smart move. He didn't realize these people were going to sell him out. There was not a big coterie of pro Trump people to pick from. That's not the case this time. Everybody's on board. He's making these selections now and they're going to make the selections and flip off the media folks no matter what. So the more they freak out about Mike Davis, Mark Paoletta, Tom Homan, what does that mean for us? That means double and triple down your support because we're doing something right. And I'm telling you, there is a group of these left, but there's a schism developing on the left. We discussed it yesterday. It's been kind of a common theme since Wednesday morning of last week when we knew Trump was a president elect. There's the Van Jones people, the Philippe Rness, the Jim Carville's. I'll get to that tomorrow. Who are now starting to embrace that the Democrat Party's in real trouble. It's happening. I'm not giving them any credit. They should have known a long time. I'm just trying to make a tactical point so we understand them better than they understand us. Okay, but the left wing lunatics, the Tarlovs, the Marie Harves, I promise you there will not be a second of introspection. These are the chaos agents on the left and we love every minute of it. Here is Molly Hemingway and Marie Harf. I want you to see a Marie Harve. She does not understand at all because she is incapable, incapable of processing information outside of her bubble. She's on Fox with the great Molly Hemingway, who I think should be up there for press secretary, by the way. Throw that out there. I think she'd be fantastic. Just my humble opinion there. She does not understand Marie or pretends not to understand how the law fair against President Trump, martyred him and turned so many people off who feel aggrieved by this garbage crap system. She's still trying to make the case that this was all legal and on the up and up. Doesn't get it at all. No mirror, no self reflection. And you should thank the Lord they got people like this because this is going to lead to the demise of their party if it keeps going. Watch this.

Molly Hemingway
The abuse of law was One of these underrated issues that. That motivated a lot of people to vote for Donald Trump. Having Democrat prosecutors up and down the Eastern seaboard trying to imprison their political opponent, bankrupt their political opponent, remove him from the ballot. This was viewed as an assault on democracy. At the same time, they were trying to push that message.
- [50:19]
Marie Harf
This is the problem, though.
- [50:20]
Molly Hemingway
People are hoping that they will have rule of law going forward and no more of these political prosecutions designed to go after not just Donald Trump, but people who were challenging school boards, pro life activists. This was the underrated story. Because our media are so in favor of Kamala Harrison and the Democrat Party in general, they have failed to tell that story accurately.
- [50:36]
Marie Harf
The reality is that Donald Trump was credibly accused of dozens of felony charges, was convicted of many of them. And Donald Trump has stood on the campaign trail this campaign cycle and said he wants to go after his political opponents and put them in jail.
- [50:53]
Molly Hemingway
In fact, he was talking about the.
- [50:54]
Marie Harf
Threat posed by the abuser. I let you talk a lot here. My point is that for Democrats and Americans who look at the litany of charges Donald Trump has been charged with, some of which we saw him do with our own eyes, the fact that you can be elected president and all of that criminality and possible convictions just goes away and you are held above the law. To many Americans today, that feels deeply unfair about ourselves.
- [51:17]
Molly Hemingway
The way the Democrat Party treated it was as if he and other Republicans were below the law. And that period is over and a lot of people are happy about it.
- [51:25]
Dan Bongino
So congrats, everyone should send a big collective Twitter thank you to Marie Harf, a legend. A legend in the Republican. The Republican. Yes. Thank you, Marie. It's people like you and the tar laws and the madhouse. It's not personal. Man, I can't say this enough. I know these people from Fox. I'm an ideological activist who believes in liberty and freedom. And you don't. Um, you just got your asses handed to you politically in the most historic electoral route since 1984. Ronald Reagan. I would say almost as impressive given what we're dealing with right now. And they still don't get it. Everyone clappy hands, emoji in the chat. We need more. Marie. Horace. Keep pushing, Marie. Keep pushing for cutting kids nuts off in grammar school, porn in grammar schools. Keep pushing for open borders, arresting your political opponents for made up ridiculous crimes with no victims, and then say he was credibly accused. Credibly accused by who? The civil case has no victims. Did you even pay attention Credibly accused by who? A Fulton County DA who was having an affair with her boyfriend and having meetings at the White House. Credibly accused by who? Jack Smith. In a case he got his crank handed to him at the Supreme Court for violating separation of powers. Do you even pay attention to the news? This is what they do. Thank people like her. It's because of people like her that we can keep this red momentum going now. We can officially, now that it's over. I don't care what anyone tells you. Folks, now that the House has been called, this was officially a red wave. I know you sense why I didn't want to talk about it beforehand. I always think that's a mistake to talk about it beforehand. Now that it's over, this was unquestionably a red wave. That's true. It was. I mean, there's no way the folks. There's no way around it. Well, I mean, they had almost no successes anywhere, you understand. We gained seats in Vermont, locals, in Vermont. There were like 16 state seats in Vermont that we won. We won seats in Minnesota. We won seats in Michigan. We won seats in the Senate like Pennsylvania. That where we were expected to lose by five points. We won a West Virginia seat that they had held for a long time, a Montana seat. These are. We won a seat in Ohio and against a guy who'd been in office, what, 16 years. This was the real deal. We swept every single swing state and it wasn't even close. It's. I know it is embarrassing. That they still can't call races in California and elsewhere is freaking embarrassing. Like, get your together, man. Folks, we do have a bit of a problem, though, and this clip is important, and it's something we're going to have to deal with. I shouldn't end on. It's not bad news, but it could be. The House majority we have is slim. We can't lose anyone. And with some appointments like Mike Walls and Elise Stefanik coming out of the House, those margins are going to be even slimmer. If we can afford to lose one vote, you're going to get a lot of people in the House who are going to say, I ain't voting for that unless you give me X. And it causes a lot of problems. I want you to listen to a guy I really liked, Peter St. Ange. He does a lot of economic stuff, but he nails this topic. You need to stay on your representatives from day one and say, I will be watching you and how you vote in this Trump agenda. This is no time to Let off the gas. This is. We can't lose anyone. And with 218, 219 members, that's a big problem. Check this out.
- [55:17]
Peter St. Ange
It is official. Republicans swept the entire election, winning the presidency, the Senate and the House of Representatives. Ironically, this puts Donald Trump in a much stronger position than if Joe Biden had not stolen. The 2020 election means Trump has at least two years of a friendly Congress to get his people appointed and his policies passed. Still, the majorities are narrow. It looks like 53 Republicans in the Senate. You need 50 for control when you have the veep. And maybe 221 in the House where you need 218. So that's plus three in the Senate, plus three in the House, which is very narrow. Historically, that means left wing Republicans rhinos can absolutely gum things up.
- [55:59]
Dan Bongino
They won't be able to gum things up if you make sure they don't come things up. But he's not wrong. They'll try. They're all going to try to get reelected. Some of them will be in swingy districts. They're going to. Not all these people have the balls. Donald Trump does. The second the media voter id. That's racist. Jim Crow. Despite no evidence that's actually true. A lot of these people are going to fold. They won't fold if you stay on them and make sure they don't fold. Critically important you stay on that case. Folks, I really appreciate you tuning in. Of course we have our shirts. Don't get dead. We have more. More. Four more years. That was a viewer suggestion. Selling like crazy. Really appreciate it.
