All right, everybody, it's Thursday in a beautiful day in America, and it's great to have you with us. You know, we just went through these elections this week, and yesterday we broke down on the, on the podcast. All of the, all of the lessons learned from this week. And I'll reiterate the big one, which is you've got to concentrate on Americans. If Republicans want to win, you've got to concentrate on Americans. That's it. That, that's the most important thing. What can you do to improve the life of the people who voted for you in the first place? If you deliver on that, we will reward you, we will elect you, we will put you in place. If you don't deliver on that, then we either vote for the other guys, which of course you shouldn't do, you shouldn't vote for the Democrats, or people stay home. That's just what happens. And so there are, there are big lessons here and the giant context of the week. Yes, these are blue states. And the fact that we think we can win them means we've got swagger, ladies and gentlemen. We know what it feels like to win against all odds. President Trump keeps doing it. President Trump's voters keep doing it. So that swagger comes with an expectation that, yeah, we can pull off what people said was impossible. And sometimes you don't. Sometimes you don't. Sometimes a blue state actually just elects a Democrat. But, man, we are in such a better place as a country now that so many freedom loving Americans have convinced themselves that it is possible, because it is, it really is. More on the election in just a moment. The election, of course, you know, was served as the big thing that you and I have been talking about these last few days. But as we've been talking about it, we also have Arctic Frost. All of the details about Arctic Frost that have come out that are worth examining and getting to the bottom of and holding accountable the people who violated their oath of office in order to hurt our country. Arctic Frost, for those playing along at home who maybe don't know all the details is a really simple thing. Basically, in the wake of the 2020 election, when Democrats seized power, as soon as Joe Biden and his merry band of tyrants arrived in Washington, they decided what they would do is weaponize the federal government immediately against their political opponents in the hope of destroying the entire conservative cause. And so they launched something called Arctic Frost. Arctic Frost, well, it's a kind of orange, actually. It's A fruit. And that's another way of saying that it was built to be an anti Trump vehicle of destruction. Orange Man Bad. So they named the whole operation Arctic Frost. And then they targeted Republicans. They attacked all of the Republican institutions in Washington. They went after places like the Conservative Partnership Institute. We just had Rachel Bovard on the show this past week to talk about that. They went after Mike Lindell, the MyPillow guy. They tried to destroy his life. And then they were spying on the United States Senators and United members of Congress. These are all Republicans that they were spying on. This was an effort to debilitate the entire conservative movement. And thankfully, they failed. Thankfully, we were able to get Donald Trump back in place and for all these other people who now work for him to be in a position to do something about it. The big news this week on Arctic Frost that happened as the election was going on is that the Biden administration raided President Trump's government phone and sent subpoenas to obtain his private phone calls as well. Take a look here. This is from the Attorney General of the United States, Pam Bondi, who came out this week. This is, again, this is on Election Day. So this kind of, in some ways, it sort of flew under the radar just by virtue of the fact that the rest of us were very focused on the elections going on in the country. Here's what Pam Bondi had to say this week. She said, during the Arctic Frost investigation, we found that the special counsel, it's Jack Smith, seized President Trump's government issued phone. This means that the Biden administration turned over President Trump's phone to special counsel, an unprecedented action. In addition, special counsel subpoenaed all of President Trump's personal phone records. We can never again allow this kind of government weaponization in America. I submitted these new documents to our partners on Capitol Hill. I commend our team at the FBI for working very diligently to expose this. Yeah, that team at the FBI is led by Kash Patel and Dan Bongino. They're serious about this. More on that in a moment. I want to focus on that and what I'm hearing from my sources on just how fervently these guys are working to not only bring about transparency, but the accountability that we also richly deserve. But that's the Attorney General saying, yeah, they spied on, they spied on Trump, they seized his government phone, they subpoenaed his private phones. So that's, that's the sign of the tyranny of this, of the Biden administration. Caroline Levitt reacted to this this week. She was asked about these disclosures from the Attorney General of the United States. Here's what she had to say about that. Take a look. Here's Caroline Levitt.

B
I saw the Attorney General's post on that. For additional questions, I would refer you to the Department of Justice, but I think this is just further evidence of the egregious oath, overreach and weaponization of government that took place under the previous White House against then former President and now President Donald J. Trump. It was a clear effort by the Biden White House and the Biden DOJ to go after the President. And this is just further evidence of that.
- [08:27]
A
Yeah. All right, so there's the White House stating the obvious, but boy, it's nice to hear somebody stating the obvious in the government. So this is a, this is something that these guys are very focused on. You have it at the highest levels of the Justice Department, certainly the Attorney General of the United States. And in that responsibility, we need to see what we've already begun to see in many cases, which is robust prosecutions. Let me, let me just remind you of something that I'm, I'm basically saying every day now, but I think it's worth reiterating because I don't. There are, there are elements of the right who have pretended like nothing's happening at all. And they're definitely, basically the entire left, which is, if they notice that anything's happening, they, they say it's tyranny, which is insanity. No, it's, it's actually justice we're witnessing. But let me reiterate something. We got James Comey indicted. We've got Letitia James indicted. We've got John Bolton indicted. We have Lamonica McIver, Democrat congresswoman indicted for assaulting officers. People like Kat Abugazela, who. Buckle. Buckle from, From Illinois. That crazy Democrat chick who was diving in front of law enforcement vehicles obstructing justice. She's been indicted. We're seeing Democrat after Democrat after Democrat indicted, not because they're Democrats, but because they broke the law. So if anybody tells you nothing's happening, tell them there is so much happening, it's hard to keep up with. There's a lot happening. That's, that's one. And for anybody who's pretending nothing's happening, tell them to stop their bitching. Just look them straight in the face and say, hey, come here, son. Hey, come here. Ready? Stop your bitching. Stop your whining. Friggin whiners. Did I just screw up my Own thing. I hope I didn't. Here we go. All right. So. So no whining. No whining. It's actually one of the rules here. No whining. Stop it. It's unbecoming. You look like a child. Here's the other thing. This Arctic Frost investigation. The Justice Department is very serious about this. The FBI in particular, is very serious, serious about this. Now, here's what I have learned. I've, you know, I've got. I. I try and get as much information as I possibly can for you each day. And before anybody asks, no, my source. My source's name does not rhyme with Spam. Longino. That's not. This is just. In case you're wondering. This is funny. So here's what we know. Cash Patel and Dan Bongino, the heads of the FBI when they got into office, respectively. Cash gets in first, dan gets in March 17th of this year. When they get in immediately, their job, number one is you need to go and find every document you can pertaining to all of these abuses by the federal government and turn everything you can over to Congress immediately. Turn them over to the relevant committees, turn it over to Chuck Grassley, turn it over to Jim Jordan, turn it over to James Comer. Whatever it takes. Get all of that done as fast as you humanly can. And so as a result, what you've seen, actually, is that the FBI has been very aggressive in this transparency mission, which is. Which is a great thing. So every time Congress takes credit for this, and by the way, Congress should, when they make it public, that's perfectly fine. Just remember, what is the chain of custody of these documents getting out? It's from the feds, it's from FBI that these documents are getting out. So that's a. That's a huge piece of this. It's a combination, actually, of whistleblowers and the leadership of the FBI making sure that this information becomes public. Thank you for that. Additionally, like just to give you an example, remember the 2017 congressional baseball shooting, the attack on Steve Scalise that almost murdered him by a Bernie Sanders campaign volunteer by the name of James Hodgkinson, who took up a position on the third baseline outside of that fence in Alexandria, Virginia, and started opening fire on a field full of Republican congressmen, grievously wounding Steve Scalise to the point that people thought that he was not going to survive his wounds. Thank the good Lord he did. Well, the government really didn't tell us anything for almost the last decade on that subject. Very little Information had come out on that subject. Cash, Patel and company got everything that they have out to the American people in less than two months. So they're serious about the exposure of the information that they have in their custody at the FBI. And then Arctic Frost is one of the biggest scandals of our lifetime. The fact that you had the Biden administration spying on all of these sitting Republicans who are in Congress at this level is something we've never seen in our country. It certainly hasn't been seen since J. Edgar Hoover was spying on members of the government for his own purposes. This is a big deal, and it's way bigger than any claim about, you know, like. Like, oh, Richard Nixon and Watergate. Like, that's a joke. That's like. Like Watergate is practically like, you know, some kid was eavesdropping on another table in a high school cafeteria. That has nothing to do and is nowhere near the scale of what the Biden administration tried to do to the entire conservative movement. So these FBI guys get in Cash, Dan. They order their staff to go and begin finding every last document they can related to Arctic Frost, to investigate the people who are involved in Arctic Frost, and then to take action against them. You. You heard me correctly. These guys aren't letting it happen. They're not owned by the deep state, you idiots. Not you. Not you in the audience. I just mean the people who make such a claim like that. It's. It's. It is idiotic. And so what did they do in Arctic Frost? They found these documents, they reviewed them, they turned them over to Congress, and then Congress disclosed them to the American people. The reason you and I are in a position to talk about this is because of the work of these guys. Additionally, Cash and Dan started to build cases internally against the people who've been violating their oaths. And they're giving information to Congress at the same time these guys are doing the job. How do we know this? Well, they're firing people. More than 10 of the top officials at the FBI who have been caught acting in these unethical, unconstitutional, and likely unlawful ways have already been canned. They've been fired by these guys. Additionally, case agents who are on Arctic Frost, half a dozen of them, at least so far, have been fired. This has been the source of of all sorts of kind of hysterical news coverage this week, and actually kind of an interesting news coverage that. That suggests that there's something deep going on right now at the FBI that involves forces that are trying to kind of get in the way as well. The NBC had A report this week, FBI fires on fires and then re fires agents linked to the Jack Smith probe. Dateline Washington. They say at least two FBI agents involved in past investigations into President Trump were told this week, Monday that they'd been fired, only to learn later in the day that those terminations had been reversed or put on hold, according to six people familiar with the decisions. I love all of this. Then on Tuesday morning, the agents learned they actually had been fired along with two other employees, according to three people familiar with the decisions. So it's chaos. In other words, there's fighting going on as Dan and Cash are trying to rein in the out of control FBI and they're firing people. So as you go through this in this report, you'll see that there's a lot of interesting details in this NBC report which again is meant to like try and demonize the leadership of the FBI. But they say things like this. The targeted FBI agents were tied to either Special Counsel Jack Smith's probe or the initial investigation into Trump that began in 2022 and that the FBI dubbed Arctic Frost. Arctic Frost. Now Penelope Pit stops in the chat and she says firing means nothing. If these people have committed crimes, they need to be prosecuted. Agreed, Penelope. And I'm going to, and so hold on to your hat for a second because I want to get into more details about what, like why this plays out the way it plays out and it's, and it's not kind of that rapid fire movement that you and I so desperately want. There's a good explanation for this. Hold on for that. So additionally, these guys are Arctic Frost related. That matters a lot. And then, then you get this. The report goes on to say that recently the FBI has been firing employees linked to investigators decision to obtain phone call records of nine Republican U.S. senators as they examined President Trump's attempt to overturn his 2020 election loss. President Trump's allowed to file challenges. Totally constitutional. Demonizing and criminalizing. That behavior is tyrannical. You jackasses need to be in jail for what you did. That's the truth. And they go on to say Brian Driscoll, former FBI official who drew national attention after refusing a Justice Department directive to to hand over a list of agents who worked on cases tied to the January six riot, was also fired in August. NBC News reported last night last month that the FBI punished three agents who worked in connection with Smith's probe or the Arctic Frost investigation, including dismissing at least two of them. So in other words, there are consequences are raining down right now on all sorts of people who were involved in violating their oaths, going after Americans, weaponizing the government, and really just attacking people because of their politics and not because there was any predicate to suggest that they had broken the law. That's what's happening right now. Okay, so let me, let me go to something else here. And this is, this goes right to Penelope's question. Okay, what do we, you know what, what's the process here? Why aren't we seeing the arrest? Why aren't, like, how does this work? And the answer is that when Cash and Dan and the leadership of the FBI, when they locate someone who they believe has done something wrong, there is a government process for handling them. Now, is that process difficult? Yes, it is. Is it annoying that we have to wait for it? 100%. No question whatsoever. But if these guys don't do these things the right way, if there becomes any sort of question about whether or not they're, they're, they're handling this correctly, it becomes the basis of lawsuits. They've already fired people this year, and they have lawsuits ongoing from those people directed back at the Bureau. Remember, I want you to remember Peter Strzok and Andy McCabe. Peter Strzok fired for being a contemptible little weasel. He hated Trump. He was coordinating with Lisa Page. They were trying to stop Trump. Remember, don't worry, we'll stop him. And all that garbage that we caught on their text messages. Peter Strzok ends up getting a massive settlement from the United States government for the nature of his firing. He got paid. He took more of your money because of what he did and the way that he was kicked out of the government. Andy McCabe also had a huge settlement. A guy who was fired for being a liar to the FBI. So in other words, there is a proper way to handle this that mitigates any damage to the American people and forces consequences on the people who actually deserve it. And so what I'm saying to you is, join me in trusting the process and trusting the guys who are in charge. I think that's worthwhile. There hasn't been a moment. I know there's other people out there that are like, what happened to Dan? What happened? There's no, there hasn't been a moment where I've had that thought. There hasn't been a moment. These guys, some of whom, including, like Cash Patel, have been victimized by this very system. You think they're compromised stupidity. And, and, and here we have a reality. Look, this FBI has achieved a lot that deserves a lot of credit. A lot of credit. I mean, just think about the arrests that they've made. They've arrested nearly 30,000 people this year. Most of that is violent crime. That's a huge increase, by the way. That's not. That's not like, oh, the FBI does this all the time. They're taking credit for something that always happens. No, in fact, it's a 100% increase from last year. 100%. They've arrested hundreds of MS, 13 members, hundreds of trend Aragua members, thousands of gang members all across our country. And how often do you hear the media talk about this? How about, let's see, never? How about that? How about never? Over 6,000 illegal weapons have been taken off the streets. That's from people who are oftentimes here illegally in the United States. Sorry, those gun, those, those gun rights, that second Amendment. That's for American citizens, not for illegal aliens. There's been a massive increase in gang arrests from last year when Biden was in charge. Very few. This now under Trump, under Cash, Under Dan, a 210% increase in gang arrests. They've seized a lot of drugs. Nearly 2,000 kilograms of fentanyl have been seized. 2,000 kilos. That's a 31% jump from last year. And that much fentanyl, that's enough to kill half our country. 127 million people. They've snatched 200,000 kilograms of cocaine off of our streets. Nearly 9,000 kilograms of meth. Massive increases both in the cocaine and meth that have been seized by this FBI. And they've been rescuing children. How often do you hear about this? 5,400. 5,400 children have been located so far by this FBI. In the process, thousands of child predators have been arrested. 1700, if you, like me, care about, say, I don't know, the Epstein saga and the children who were abused in it. You should be enthusiastically cheering on the fact that nearly 2,000 child predators have now been arrested. That's literally the goal, to protect the kids and to hold these awful child abusers accountable. What's happening? 300 and 300 at least human traffickers have been arrested this year in the United States. That's a huge jump, by the way. That's up 15% from last year. These are big numbers. They've captured four of the top 10 most wanted. Contrast that with last year. You know how many were captured last year? Anybody know in the chat how many of the most wanted in the United States were captured last year? Phil Schwartz says 00,0000. Yeah, that's right. Zero. Zero of the most wanted were captured last year. Zero. And then there's Summer Heat. This audience should care about this, not just because you're Americans who love our country, but also you like Dan, Dan, Dan. Dan Bongino is a good dude. A successful Summer Heat operation that we just came through. Summer Heat was actually quarterbacked, created, invented by and orchestrated by Deputy Director dan Bongino. Over 8,000 arrests, over 8,000 arrests this summer of the most violent people imaginable. So, yes, that's what I'll take. And yes, Sabian 312 says it in the chat. We need prosecutions. Guess what? We've got them. That's what I love. That's exactly what I'm talking about. Prosecutions. That's exactly right. James Comey's experiencing it. Letitia James is experiencing it. John Bolton's experiencing it. Lamonica McIver's experiencing it. Catabuga Bagabaga is experiencing it. And John Brennan seems to be on the verge of experiencing it. And now we're hearing from people like Mike Davis at the Article 3 project and others that there is a massive, massive operation going down on down in Florida right now related to, let's see, a raid on Mar A Lago and grand conspiracy charges that are anticipated for January. So as always, something is always happening. And the message on this program, it'll always be no whining, no bitching, and don't be a dumbass. More ahead on this edition of Vince. I want to thank our great sponsors who make all of this truth telling possible. That includes the First Liberty Institute, which is wonderful. Let me tell you about the first Liberty Institute.

First liberty.org Vince all right. By the way, in the chat, I get, you know, perhaps not everyone listens to every program. So I'll, I'll reiterate one other thing that is worth dwelling on. I want perp walks to like. I agree with you. I like, I like the whole, like, put the handcuffs on them, drag them in, embarrass them, put them to shame. I like that entirely. But I want you to remember something. I want you to remember something. This administration is following the rules on everything. Everything. The left pretends they don't. They do. They do. And oftentimes it's a source of frustration to the rest of us. You're like, well, why are you playing by the rules? The left doesn't play by them. The. The Trump administration follows the law. President Trump listens to judicial decisions, even when he hates them, because the president believes in restoring the sanctity and decency of this system. And so will he aggressively fight? Absolutely. He's kind of defined by it. But when it comes to how he's going to operate, he's going to operate within the confines of the law and the Constitution. Now, the handcuff thing, could the FBI put handcuffs on people and then have it televised 100%? They definitely could. And the reason you and I want that is because of the schadenfreude. Right. It would bring us immense satisfaction to see that happen. And we also simultaneously think that it would convey to the other criminals that justice is coming or warn others that they shouldn't commit acts of tyranny because that fate could await them. That's. And that's a perfectly legitimate public relations way to assess this. But let me posit something else to you that we've had some conversation about on this program. But I want to explain right now. If you put handcuffs on James Comey, that overgrown Jolly Green Giant, and then you drag them in, what effect does that have? Does that bring you satisfaction? Yes, it does. Does it provide the left with weapons of martyrdom that they will attempt to use in order to mislead the American public. Yes, it does. I want you to remember there's behind me in my studio, I've got a picture of President Trump, his mug shot from Fulton County, Georgia. When the left arrested Trump, put him in a mug shot in Georgia, they shared that image with glee. Remember what happened, though. Remember that image served to galvanize Trump's support. It definitely fired up the rest of us as we saw him fight, fight, fight, and it convinced American voters to join his side, seeing what was happening to him as an injustice. Now, James Comey deserves the fate that he's currently undertake undergoing Letitia James deserves this fate that she's currently undergoing. But does the left have a capacity to believe complete and utter lies? Yes, they do. And if they're given images of martyrdom, they will lie to their audiences about the circumstances. They will once again inflame the weak and vicious minds, the kind of people who take up arms against Charlie Kirk or Donald Trump. It's worth remembering here that, that you and I are not the only ones who love our country and who are thinking about the tactics of how we get it back on track. President Trump is clearly thinking about this. If President Trump runs the Justice Department, ultimately, you think if he was dissatisfied right now with the way that they're conducting things, that he wouldn't express it? Of course he would. President Trump is actually kind of one of his great qualities is that he says exactly what's on his mind. In fact, when President Trump has been asked about these cases, he hasn't complained about a lack of handcuffs. He hasn't complained about not seeing the mug shots or the perp walks. He's just said, look, the Justice Department has to handle its business. Pam Bondi's in charge of it. He likes Pam Bondi. He thinks she's doing a great job. Now, you and I, of course, over time, we've had questions about, is she the right person, is she aggressive enough? Is she, is she bringing the prosecutions the way we want them? But if you trust in the president, then I would trust in the president. Have some faith here that things are moving the way that they're supposed to, both in terms of justice and in terms of tactics. It is reasonable to think about, okay, what's the impact of the perp walk and is there a right way to do this? Cash Patel said earlier this year, we're doing things by the book. We're doing things the right way. And that's a radical change for the FBI. Just something to think about. Something to think about. All right, let's see here. I want to, I'm going to get into more from the president of the United States. He's got, he's got a lot of thoughts here about the election. I want to get President Trump's analysis of this week's elections and also his reaction to the city that he loves, New York City, being Taken over by a complete communist. By an Islamist communist Marxist psychopath. That's ahead. As we get the President's analysis. We've got great sponsors who make our program possible every day. That includes Birch Gold Group.

I was just talking with the great Paula Bongino this morning. And we always, we like to check in with each other. We're far away, we're many states away from each other. And I was talking to Paula and, and she was asking how, how the show's going, how's it, how is everything going? And I said, paula, I, I swear to you, this is what I led with. This is the best audience anywhere. I, I, this is the best audience literally anywhere. And I feel so endeared to you and so grateful to you. It's been such a fantastic year. And so thank you for that. Thank you for everything that you've done. Thank you for being a part of this experience and for, and for giving me your time. I know time is such a precious resource, so I'm grateful, I'm truly grateful for that. And I was telling Paula that. And additionally, I will tell you, I said, I think everybody looks forward to the day when Dan is finally done saving the world and he can get back to the podcast space and whatever that looks like and where we can build something really immense together. If, if you're looking forward to that too, well, then you're on the same page as I am. I think it could be really great. So, just so you know, that's a, that's a Bongino World update for you. And yeah, thank you, thank you. Somebody in the chat was upset that I referred to someone else as a dumb ass. Well, you know, that's what people do when they love each other. I call. I, I definitely have told friends and family you're being a dumbass. That's, that's just tough love. That's just tough love. You guys, though Bongino army forever about it. All right, let's see. We've got, we've got some other things here. I Want to talk about election reviews? I've got the President of the United States. He's giving his analysis. He was on with Brett Baer over on the Fox News Channel last night. And when he was there, of course, the subject of the election came up. Here's the President of the United States analyzing the election cut six. Here's what he had to say on the subject.

How do you read last night's election results? Well, I watched very closely. These are three pretty Democrat states, assuming everything is fair and balanced, as you would say. I thought that New Jersey would do better. I didn't think that Virginia was going to do very well. I didn't think the candidate, well, you know, didn't really have my support, my big support. Is that why you didn't really endorse her? I didn't endorse her. No. I didn't. I mean, my endorsement means a lot to me. So I was a little disappointed in the fact that New Jersey. I thought New Jersey would do a little bit better than that. The Cuomo situation. It's just he, he had too many, too many things against him. He had a lot of things against him. And Curtis Lewitt tried very hard, but, you know, he was, he's, he's been there before. So it was, it was pretty open shot that Mandami had.
- [38:09]
A
You know, this. Let me, let me. First of all, his analysis is spot on then, and it kind of consistent with what, what you and I thought about what was going to happen on Tuesday, which is like, yeah, Virginia, not a great candidate. Winsome Sears, lieutenant governor. She's doing okay. You know, I saw some people point out she leaned very heavily on some of the identity politics elements of her existence. You know, that she's a, she's a black woman and she's an immigrant. That's, that's, that's a part of her story, for sure. But is it the compelling reason for people to vote for you? Like, is that what we lead with? Should we lead with that? No, definitely not. Because it's, in the end, it's kind of irrelevant, isn't it? It's not a basis by which you're going to improve someone's life. It's just a sort of narcissistic detail about you that's, that's, you know, and we all, and we all make mistakes like that where we kind of talk about things that are, in the, in the end, functionally irrelevant to whether or not we'd be really good for somebody. But on the merits, you really should be concentrated entirely on the policy. And in the end, it didn't help her anyway. In fact, the black vote majority overwhelmingly went to Abigail Spanberger, and then the female vote overwhelmingly went to Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat, and also went to, by the way, J. Jones, the violent psychopath in Virginia who is now going to become the Attorney general. So, like, what? Not, not a fantastic candidate. And also, and Winsome Sears case, remember, she was, like, crapping on Trump a couple of years ago. And for those of you who don't follow Virginia politics really closely, I just want to remind you, like, that posture was remembered by Virginia Republicans. People remembered that. People who support Donald Trump remembered that when some Sears did this. And this was hard for her to overcome. You know, I talked to Republicans in politics who were confused about why are people, why are Trump supporters? Why. Why is. Basically, why is her support soft? And I'm like, because she treated Trump like crap. And after she did that, like, it was hard to come back from. Look at, look at this. This is Winsome Sears a couple years ago. She was on with Neil Cavuto, and here's what she said. And so if you're wondering what happened in Virginia, well, this played a role.
- [40:28]
D
When we look at the mission, and as a Marine, we're looking at the mission, and, you know, the voters have spoken and they have said that they, they want a different leader. And a true leader understands when they have become a liability, a true leader understands that it's time to step off the stage. And the voters have given us that very clear message.
- [40:52]
A
So does that, does that apply within the Republican Party, Lieutenant Governor to Donald Trump, that it's time to step off the stage? Yes.
- [41:01]
D
A house divided against itself cannot stand. And indeed, that's where we are today. And as I said before, America is the prize. Why do we want to win elections? It's because we've got to learn to love each other, live together, govern together. And the voters are saying, enough is enough.
- [41:22]
A
All right, so look, she said, it's time for him to go. He's not unifying. It's time for Donald Trump to disappear. Now, in the end, of course, Winsome Sears would come around as president Trump was on the verge of reelection in 2024, and she stood on stages in Virginia and chanted, trump, Trump. Trump. Trump, Trump. But, you know, this kind of sort of tepid, like, you know, toe in the water, will voters like this. I just think there's encouragement here. One of the reasons I want to relitigate this right now, you know, she's lost already. But one of the reasons to relitigate it is for every Republican candidate going forward. Stop being inauthentic, stop pretending at all. Just tell us what you actually think. Run on the issues, run on the merits, and then just focus on how you can improve the lives of voters. Donald Trump did that. Donald Trump is the most authentic candidate that's ever run for elective office in the United States. The guy never pretends to be anything he's not. He's got exactly two outfits. His suit that he wears everywhere. He doesn't pretend to roll up his sleeves at the job site, that he's like somehow, you know, a blue collar guy. He doesn't pretend to be anything. He's just himself all the time. The other outfit he has is his golf outfit. I don't think I've ever seen him in anything else. My guess is he probably sleeps in his suit. It's just, he's, he's not pretending. So don't pretend. Don't be a phony. Don't suck up the stupid identity politics. Don't try and build political coalitions by, you know, taking up positions you don't actually believe in or paying lip service to them. Just be authentic and fight for us. If you do that, you'll attract voters. That's as simple as it possibly gets. And so the, so President Trump's analysis in Virginia is, is well taken. He also thought that Jack Cittarelli was going to win in, or at least had a good shot in New Jersey. I had the same feeling. I think one thing that's probably worth pointing out is one, Republicans have low propensity voters. And two, people lie on polls. People lie. You know, there's often, oftentimes, like, I think there's a lot of assumption that the polls themselves are rigged. And certainly that has been the case in the past and will be the case in the future. But a lot of it is like, how valuable is polling now? You know, when, when you and I were younger, when we were kids, you know, the way polling used to be done, landlines, people, they were called landlines. You'd actually have a phone. You wouldn't even be able to see who was calling. There was no caller ID or anything like that. Your phone is ringing at dinner. You pick it up, ring, ring, ring. You pick it up. And they're like, hello, this is pollster such and such. We're just asking some questions about the election. Do you have a few minutes for us to talk to you? And then yes or no? And so that would actually occur. Nowadays, you know how polling is done? It's a crapshoot. If you get a phone call on your cell phone right now, if there was a. If a. No. If a call started to ring through your phone at this very moment and you didn't recognize the number, what do you do with that? What do you do with it? I don't answer that crap. Leave a voicemail. If it's a real thing, maybe I'll respond to it. Like this is. People don't answer it. So there's self selection in polling. So in the surveys, when they get on the phone, then basically what's happening is you have rabid leftists who do polling because they want to influence what the public polling demonstrates, or you get these leftists who will lie about their positions because they support disgusting candidates and they don't want to admit it out loud. Yet when they go into the polling booth, they vote for Jay Jones. That just happened. And these Democrats, I'm telling you what, in Virginia, they're gloating over this. They played a game of pretend for four seconds that they thought that Jay Jones was something like, oh, it's very noxious that he did that. That's not actually how they feel. In fact, Luke Rosiak over at the Daily Wire has a wonderful piece today. I say wonderful because the reporting itself is wonderful, but man, these human beings are utter garbage. Masks off top. Virginia Democrat depicts J. Jones assaulting his opponent and lashes out at snitch. Snitch as in whoever told on Jay Jones. Virginia Democrats in the weeks before the election told voters that they condemned political violence and that Jay Jones was remorseful about his desire to shoot Republicans. But right after they won, their tune changed. There's a woman called Louise Lucas. She's an awful human being. She's the president pro temp of the Virginia state Senate. And she suggested immediately she wasn't even angry with Jay Jones for making these comments. She was angry that Virginians found out about them and she blamed the snitch. The snitch being a woman called Carrie Coiner, a Republican delegate. She's the one who got the text messages from Jones and she said, this is crazy. So the Democrat lady, Louise Lucas, posted on X, Virginia is for lovers, not snitches. Look at that. Virginia is for lovers, not snitches. Oh, as in snitches get stitches. If you. If you tell anybody that a Democrat is violent, we're going to hurt you is the message. And she went on. She also posted a video of herself or of J. Jones kicking a dog. This is, this is the Democrats gloating. This is the. One of the top officials in the entire Commonwealth of Virginia posting a video of Jay Jones kicking a dog. And the dog's face is Jason Miares, the incumbent Attorney general, booted into the stars by the violent sociopath known as Jay Jones. So just to be clear, in case you're wondering, do any of these Democrats mean it, that they're very judgmental about calls for violence and, or any of this? No, no, they don't mean it. They don't mean it. In fact, they're very comfortable with the assassination culture in their midst. They rely on it for votes. And in some cases, like State Senator Louise Lucas, they're rooting it on. They're gloating, they're rubbing in your face how much they don't care that this guy's a violent sociopath. And that's the, that's the state of play in Virginia right now. So that, that was a, that's a fascinating update. What a nasty woman, Nasty woman that Louise Lucas is, and she continues to be. She really does. President Trump is also commenting on what just happened in New York as a Soviet is taking over the Big Apple and he knocked him. Here. He has cut one saying, Democrats just put a commie in charge of my favorite city.
- [48:06]
C
Look, if you want to see what Congressional Democrats wish to do to America, just look at the result of yesterday's election in New York where their party installed a communist as the mayor of the largest city in the nation. Remember, I've said we will never have a socialist elected to any post in our country. I used to say that and I was right. We skipped socialist and we put in a communist and said that's not. That didn't work out too well. But as I've warned for many years, our opponents are hell bent on turning America into a communist Cuba or socialist Venezuela. And you see what happened to those places.
- [48:52]
A
Yeah. Warning from the President that his favorite city is now being run by a full blown commie, a Marxist Commie called Zoran Mamdani. Mamdani the commie. And the President in his conversation with Brett yesterday said, look, well, it's pretty obvious this has been tried over and over and over again and it's been a complete and utter disaster. Cut to the President with the history here.
- [49:17]
C
I'm so torn because I would like to see the new mayor do well because I love New York. I really love New York. When I left New York for Washington, New York was doing really well. But there were some bad signs. The bad sign was a guy named de Blasio. So the signs of de Blasio, that was the beginning, and it was bad. This one we're going to look. For a thousand years, communism has not worked. It just. Communism or the concept of communism has not worked. I tend to doubt it's going to work this time. You see his victory speech, it's literally never worked. Yeah, I thought it was a very angry speech. Certainly angry toward me. And I think he should be very nice to me. You know, I'm the one that sort of has to approve a lot of things coming to him. So he's off to a bad start.
- [50:03]
A
He's off to a terrible, terrible start. And look, Zoron Mamdani is a disaster for a million different reasons. He doesn't believe in assimilation to the United States. He doesn't believe in the value of this country. He definitely doesn't believe in law and order. He's perfectly comfortable with releasing violent people on the streets. He thinks homelessness should be existent as a matter of course in the city. He's going to put homeless people all over the city buses, especially in the winter. He wants to empty Rikers. He wants to raise taxes of 52%. He wants the government to own the grocery stores. And by the way, a lot of what I just described are things that the mayor is not even allowed to do. But he doesn't think that's going to stop him anyway. He quoted a famous Marxist philosopher, the founder of the Socialist party in the United States, right away in his victory speech. He's not really hiding it. And the other component is he's an Islamist. That's the other piece here. This is so, you know, they. The. The New York Post had a great report on this this week. A Muslim group with deep terrorist ties is a huge backer of the Mamdani campaign. A Muslim civil rights group the federal lawmakers have described as having deep ties to terrorist organizations, has emerged as one of the biggest single backers to Zoran Bamdani's mayoral campaign. According to public records, the Unity and Justice Fund political action committee, which gave the Democrat socialist frontrunner $120,000, is linked to Care. Care. You know, Care. They were unindicted co conspirators in a terror trial here in the United States. Yeah. The largest Muslim nonprofit in the United States, the Unity and justice pac, which has offices in Sacramento and Washington, shares addresses and personnel with CARE Action, according to the Federal Election Commission and Open Secrets, a government Transparency group that tracks money in politics. So we go from Islamic terror attack in, well, let's see, what city was it? Oh, New York in 2001 to a guy who's supported by fundamentalist Islamists and he's a full blown Marxist Communist running the city of New York. And you wonder why? I pray for them. I pray for them. I pray for them. It's this. They're in for a. They're in for a rough road. The President said he's trying to cut off all the federal funding that he can to New York because his view is why would we send good money after bad? Why are we going to waste federal taxpayer dollars on this? Great question. We shouldn't. We shouldn't. Upwards of a million New Yorkers have said that they want to flee the city. Now, not every New Yorker wants to flee. Some New Yorkers are just morons. I hate to say, but it is true. I want you to see this. I want to make sure I give proper credit to who put this together. Oh, Cam Higby here, this, this guy, Cam Higby goes around New York and he's talking to a bunch of voters out in the park and finding out, hey, why'd you vote for Zoron? What'd you think of Zoron's victory? Did you support him and. And why? Listen to this group of bobbleheaded New Yorkers who have no idea why they just pulled the lever for the communist. Watch this, guys. Can I ask you how you feel about Zoran winning?
- [53:18]
B
I'm happy about it.
- [53:20]
A
Why are you happy about it?
- [53:23]
B
I don't know.
- [53:24]
A
I just.
- [53:24]
B
I don't.
- [53:26]
A
I don't really know.
- [53:27]
B
I just do.
- [53:28]
A
Really?
- [53:28]
B
Yeah, because I keep seeing all the.
- [53:29]
A
Like, cute tiktoks of him, like part.
- [53:31]
B
Partying and clubbing and honestly, he's like one for the people, you know?
- [53:34]
A
That's why you support him? Yeah. Okay. Thank you. I appreciate it. And there you have it, folks.
- [53:39]
B
No, I mean, I hope that he can get some of the things done that he's saying.
- [53:42]
A
Like what?
- [53:43]
B
Well, he wants to do like, he wants to help people with their rent, he wants to help people with transportation costs.
- [53:48]
A
He's gonna pay for that.
- [53:49]
B
I have no idea. I don't. I don't know. I don't.
- [53:53]
A
Well, you got. I mean, look at this. This is your booth, right?
- [53:57]
B
All right, enough.
- [53:58]
A
Look at this.
- [54:00]
B
I don't think you're here to have a. I am.
- [54:04]
A
I absolutely am. You're out here selling Zoron merch and you don't even know what he, what he wants to do.
- [54:11]
B
I just said a couple things that he wants to do.
- [54:13]
A
But you have no idea how it will be implemented.
- [54:15]
B
I know he has ideas about it.
- [54:19]
A
Oh my God. Pray for your country, please. Please pray for your country. You know, our founders were really clear about how this whole system works. You need a virtuous public, you need an informed public. You need a populace that actually knows what they're talking about. This is why they enshrined freedom of the press in the First Amendment. It was designed to make sure that you can be informed about how your government operates, speak truth to power, hold them accountable, and make sure they weren't abusing their power. And now you get these morons in places like New York City who are just watching TikTok videos, enjoying the vibes and saying, yeah, I'm going to pull the lever for that guy. It's like one big demented social club. How's he going to pay for it? What policy do you like that he has? People don't even know the answer to any of these questions and yet they vote. Something's completely broken here. Something. It's called the American left. That's what's completely broken here. Meanwhile, the rest of us, right now you're consuming information because you want to be better informed. Right now you're, you're trying to figure out what the heck is going on in the world. What is my fellow American like? Why would they support a communist like Zoran Mamdani? You are staying educated. The left, they're being brainwashed. We're watching it happen in real time. And Cam Higby, good for him, man. Getting out on the street, just talking to people. You like Zoron? Oh yeah, I love him. What do you like about him? I like his smile. You're an idiot. That's not a reason to support him. And in that sense, he's a Trojan horse. Now granted, he's not really hiding it. He runs on his communism. But in that sense, if you're only supporting him because of the vibes and the look, always he said he's going to help everybody out. Yeah, he's a Trojan horse. He's a Trojan horse for the most destructive ideology that are that our planet has ever known. This totalitarianism represented by this Marxism stacked on top of the Islamism that that care is clearly backing. Yeah, it's crazy. And conservatives are the most media literate people. They really are. You happen to know this is, this is one of the great things about Conservative news consumers. I've known it for years. And it's so funny. Like, the press acts like it's the inverse. They pretend like conservatives are such rubes. You're so stupid, you have no idea. You live in a bubble. It's the complete opposite. It's all projection with these people, these liars. Because you and I both know what's going on in the New York Times. We know what's going on in the Washington Post. I was just quoting NBC News articles to you today. We know what's going on in the legacy press, and we also know what the truth is as best we as we can establish it, what's actually happening. We're constantly probing, exploring and thinking and arguing and debating and getting to the bottom of it. And as a result, the right is very well informed and very sharp. It knows how to engage in debates to the extent that anybody will have them with us. We know what we're doing. Meanwhile, the left is filled with bobbleheaded idiots like the ones you just saw in Cam Higby's video in New York, and elected officials who don't have any sense of the world whatsoever, who barely know how to use a garbage disposal, trying to wield their power, to consume more power under themselves. What do you think Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is? Garbage is the perfect expression of that AOC agent of chaos. That's who she is. She's not an agent of some sort of positive change. She's an agent of chaos. So it doesn't require her to know anything. All she has to do is just continue to make your life more miserable. We are not the same. We are not the same at all. And so New Yorkers, they don't even know what's going on right now. Too many of them don't know. Some do. Half of New Yorkers, by the way, to give credit to my, my New York friends, 50%, nearly 50% of New Yorkers didn't vote for Zoran Mamdani. But now they're stuck with the guy where they have to flee New York. They have to get out of the city. It's crazy. All right. Hey, today, a couple of programing notes for you. One right off the top of my head. I do want to tell somebody, tell people. I've received some messages over time that, that there are people who think that I'm communicating with them and like random Facebook comments or Twitter comments or whatever. There is. One of the things we've discovered, of course, and over, over the years is all sorts of people are out there trying to, like, scam you, like, and. And I can't even keep up with the whack a mole necessary to delete all of these fake accounts and report them and ban them. So please be very careful before, like, you think that I'm, like, reaching out to you, like, hey, I want, you know, send me money. Like, don't. Don't do that. I'm not asking you for money. I'm not trying to personally reach out to you to like, get you to buy a product or something. That's not happening at all. Don't fall for the scams. There are. There have been people who have. And then they reach out to me afterwards and they're like, I had no idea that it wasn't actually you. Just use your mind. Just. Just use your judgment, discern and just know that there are bad people out there who are doing this, not just to me, but all sorts of people. Just be aware for that. But we're constantly trying to get people banned and kicked off for that. So just be careful. And then the big programming note for you today is for those of you who are with me on the national radio show. I am not doing the radio show today. I have some very. I have important business to attend to today. So producer Jim will be running the big national radio show today. That is, you'll be able to listen to that one today. We won't be doing that on Rumble. You can listen to producer Jim. Just go to the Vince Show.com and check out your local listings. And if you don't have a local radio station near you, you probably do. We're on like every radio station in the country. If you don't have a local radio station, just listen to any of our great affiliates. They've got great streams that you can listen to the radio show. Producer Jim handles things for us today from 12 to 3 Eastern Time. And then I'm back with you tomorrow for both big shows. As always, you really are the best audience anywhere. My gratitude continues to extend to you. Thank you very much for being with me today. And I am back with you tomorrow.
