Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. You know, I made a huge mistake yesterday, a critical mistake in yesterday's show. I was so excited on almost no sleep. I slept a lot last night, by the way, but way too much.

I fell asleep at 8.30 p.m. Eastern time, which is probably still like an hour off because I'm still, you know, the daylight thing is still like messing me up. Right?

I get up at like 5.30, so I slept forever. But I got up yesterday, and I was tired, but I was excited and energetic because of this history-changing moment. And I wanted to come in so desperately. And like, if there was ever a time, fucking Karate Man, it was yesterday. And I missed the Karate Man moment. And I can't take it back. This isn't Michael J. Fox. I can't go back to the future. I can't do it. And I'm pissed.

I'd love to go meet up with Biff or whatever. Karate man in the chat. There was ever a time to go full freaking Mr. Miyagi? It was yesterday. I forgot to put the fan on. What the hell? I totally missed it. Put it in the chat, and let's just pretend it happened yesterday. Guy, can you splice that in to yesterday's show? Oh.

I'm only throwing this in for pure entertainment value. There are a couple that have some educational way, like they are going to try to censor social media now. And that I'll throw out there.

But I just want you to see it to laugh. I'll do a few of those in there. But right in the beginning of the show, I've got some really important stuff we do have to discuss, okay? Tactics-wise. Because now we won. We should still celebrate. Take the week. I get it. But there are some things we have to talk about because it's time to get a government going.

All right, fellas, let's go. So let me get this thing started. One, I want to thank my good friend, John Bruner, by the way. Remember we auctioned off the Trump baseball? You're never going to believe it. It raised $50,000. John was John B. in the auction. He actually lost the auction in the last minute to another Patriot, spent $50,000 for charity. John texted me last night. John Bruner is actually going to match that donation to Samaritan's Purse without even the baseball.

So John Bruner, he was an awesome candidate for office in the state of Missouri. Great guy. Thank you for doing that. Super nice of you. You're a real patriot and a hero, man. We love you. Okay. We got to talk about something before we dig into the dirty details here. What the is going on with the vote counts? Folks,

Listen to me, man. This thing, thankfully, was a blowout. I told you if we voted early, we would screw up their calculation. There was no way to cheat their way out of it. And I was right. The race is over. Everybody's conceded. There's no going back and unconceding it. The race is over. States have been called.

It's done. Finished. It was over. We swamped the thing. They simply did not have the calculus written in to make up for the early voter turnout. And I think they knew they were screwed. So I think they figured, all right, screw it. We got stuck with four more years of this. Let's try to whatever. Hold on to the Senate or the House.

So late last night, we get these massive data dumps out of these liberal cities in the state of Wisconsin and in the state of Nevada. And of course, they're like, oh, the Senate candidates, Hovde and Brown, you know, lost. Folks, this is this has got to stop.

To Republicans in the state of Arizona and Wisconsin, I understand you're dealing in many cases, well, not Nevada, but in Wisconsin with a liberal governor. But you are dealing with a lot of liberals in the state legislature. You have got to stop this shit. You guys and I excuse me, Arizona and Maricopa in Arizona as well.

You got to stop this shit. There is absolutely no reason why in the richest, wealthiest country on earth where 40 out of the 50 states or relatively speaking, about 40 out of 50, who knows, have no problem whatsoever going Republican. Okay, great. Counting votes that you can't count votes. Get your shit together. You guys are effing up the entire country. Nobody believes anything.

Nobody believes anything. You think we forgot? What do you think? We forgot what happened in 2020? What do you think right now? We're like, we're just going to move on because Donald Trump won? We're not. We're happy. We swamped it. But get your shit together, man. You understand if this wasn't a runaway election, the entire nation again would be watching Maricopa County in Arizona?

Get your shit together. You're humiliating. You're embarrassing. Fix it. I live in Florida. 95% of the vote count was in, probably within a half an hour of the damn vote closing. We got 20 million people, bro. Fix your shit.

I'm sorry, man, but it's just freaking frustrating. Are you with me in the chat or not with this? Fix your shit, man.

Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona, California, they don't want to fix anything. But these are states with a substantial Republican presence. Either a branch of government, Nevada's got a Republican governor, Arizona's got the hapless Katie Hobbs, but they got Evers in Wisconsin. I mean, you got to fix your shit. Sorry, man, but it's a day after. I'm still happy about this thing.

But this is how the whole nation gets thrown into turmoil. And let's talk about some other things, too. Folks, the Trump team's getting ready now to transition. They're already rocking and rolling. There are a number of names out there and people. I know the Trump team is very, very interested at this point in not making some of the same mistakes they made last time. I'm going to be covering some people throughout the week and next week who I think should not be in the administration.

It's just my opinion. They don't need my advice. They can do what they want. But I'm an independent voice out here, and I'm in this for one person and one person only. Do you know who that person is?

President Trump. I don't care about anybody else. I care about him and his success. And there are some people out there who are not going to be good for the administration. And I'm hearing their names being thrown around. So that's going to be coming in the next few days. And as for agenda items, day one, fire Chris Wray and the FBI immediately. Immediately. The second we swear in, here's how this should look. You guys want to see how it should look?

by Donald J. Trump. The minute, Christopher Wray, you're fired. That's it. The second the Bible gets pulled away, I want the call going, Christopher Wray, pack your bags. Get this guy out of there. Fire this guy on day one. Also, fire the CIA director and the DNI. They got to go too. The IC has been involved in a deep state weaponization effort for a long time. These are just a couple of things that should happen right away. An executive order on the border.

You can implement the Immigration and Nationality Act. What is it? Section 212 right away. Reinstitute their migrant protection protocols. Remain in Mexico should happen right away. A couple other things. If we have the Republican Congress,

It's still likely we're going to hold the house. I hope we do. If we don't, we're going to be screwed. They'll impeach Donald Trump day one. However, we got to get some national voter ID. We've got to work on our election system, cleaning it up, and we have to reauthorize the tax cuts and get some money for that border wall. That should happen right away. Okay. I just want to put that out there in the beginning of the show. Now let's get to some good stuff again, because we did do karate man. I only do karate man when I'm in a very good mood. I'm savoring every delicious moment.

of this wonderful, glorious electoral college and popular vote political ass-kicking I saw. We were looking around for some of the best liberal meltdowns that kind of make you feel good, make you laugh a little bit. On a Thursday morning, Thirsty Thursdays, here is one of the best ones we found. Check this out. Savor every delicious second of it. How does this not go without saying?

But white people, white women especially at this moment, do not go to your black, your indigenous, your immigrant, your queer, your trans. Do not go to that person in your life that you feel is a little bit more oppressed than you are because obviously you're feeling fucking oppressed and ask for like help with it.

I don't care how you voted. I don't care how fucking hard you worked. I don't care. I don't care. You're not an exception to this. Just so we're clear, I thought it couldn't get too much more reasonably worse today in the spectrum of my emotions towards people who look like me. But then you go and do something and totally fucking blow it out of them. What in the... Did I just... So...

I'd always have, just to be clear, for all the people out there, and this is only coming from the swampy Republican side, by the way. When I say this, I'll tell you in a second. It is not coming from the Democrats aren't interested in this at all. The swampy Republicans, I noticed a lot of people at

The Journal and elsewhere, they're all like, we need unity. It's time to move on. You, just to be clear, you really believe that lady is interested in unity right now? Did you see what, Justin just said it right. Go to X and TikTok. You have never seen liberals crazier than they are now. Crazy, never. So all the coexist, tolerance bullshit, folks,

I would happily unify with a party that loved America and was ready to move on. Hey, we lost. Let them do their thing and govern, and then we'll get our shot in the midterms and in four years. They are not even remotely interested in that. I don't want to hear any bullshit about unity until liberals put their sword down. Unity, you drop your sword. They're going to lop your head off. These people are crazy.

Here's the Attorney General of New York, an absolute lunatic, a freaking commie like I've never seen before, thirsty for power, authoritarianism, and the fascism she claims to want to be fighting like I've never seen.

They get destroyed in this election. New York, Donald Trump slices what, like five to seven points off of his margin he lost by in 2020 in New York. Made massive gains in the tri-state area. New Jersey as well, Donald Trump. Where he only lost by, what was it, five or six or something like that? Massive gains.

Queens County, where I grew up, I'm a Queens kid, just like Donald Trump. Donald Trump won almost 40% of the vote. That is in New York City. It's one of the five boroughs. Queens County. You would think this life loser moron up in New York would say, hey, it's time to reevaluate our lawfare against Donald Trump. No, you got none of that shit at all. Here's what you got yesterday. Heard dumbling down on communism. Check this out. So here we are.

We've studied their platforms. We've identified certain possibilities, fact patterns. We've created contingency plans. So no matter what the next administration throws at us, we're ready. We're ready to respond to their attacks. We're ready to respond to any attempts to cut or eliminate any funding to the great state of New York, as the governor outlined. So despite what has happened on the national stage,

We will continue to stand tall in the face of injustice, revenge, or retribution. You ever see the Brady Bunch, Giphy, if you guys are on X-Live? Sure, Jan. Sure. Keep it up, Tish. You're doing great. You're doing great! You're doing fantastic! Thank you, Tish. If it wasn't for people like Tish James, this absolute life loser, and by the way, an extremely stupid person from a number of people I know who know her, I'm

Dumber, believe it or not, dumber than Joe Biden. And that's saying a lot. That is a bold statement that I wish PolitiFact would check. I want IQ scores. She is a moron. A moron. Keep it up, man. I could argue she's one of the top five contributors to the Republican effort to take this country back. This absolute life loser. Keep it up.

Keep it up. You're doing great. You'll have New York red by the time these idiots, Kathy Hochul, the governor, and her are done with it. And that other slob, Twinkies, too. Keep it up, morons. Folks, the deep state had a bad day yesterday. That was Tish with the copium. We have a backup plan. Sure you do, Tish. Right, right, sure.

Did you see this report on Fox? You know Jack Smith, the tyrant working as a special tyrant for the Merrick Garland, Joe Biden, weaponized Justice Department, making up fake charges on Donald Trump and trying to put him through a federal trial? That's all gone now. That's all gone. Jack's going to need to find a new job. I hear since Donald Trump got a promotion from McDonald's, there's an open spot.

Maybe Jack Smith should apply. Not really sure. Donald Trump's done a lot of jobs. You see his resume going around online? It was pretty hilarious. They were like, felon, McDonald's, sanitation worker, President of the United States, the greatest resume ever. I love this guy. You want to talk about a man of the people? I love this guy. Maybe Jack Smith should seek that open profession. There may be a spot for him because Jackie Botts, Jackie Boom Botts, going to be out of a job soon. Check this out.

WE HAVE SOME NEWS ABOUT SPECIAL COUNSEL JACK SMITH, THIS MAN RIGHT HERE.

Donald Trump said recently that he would fire Jack Smith, quote, within two seconds of taking office. Well, we found out that he may not have that opportunity. The reason is that the Department of Justice, where Jack Smith works, cannot prosecute a sitting president. Fox News is told that Jack Smith will be gone from his post as special counsel, meaning the cases will be gone before Trump takes the oath of office.

AT NOON ON JANUARY 20TH. THIS IS THE DOCUMENTS CASE, THOUGH THAT WAS DROPPED ALREADY BY JUDGE EILEEN CANNON BACK OVER THE SUMMER AND IT'S ON APPEAL, BUT ALSO THIS CASE FOR TRUMP'S ALLEGED EFFORTS TO TRY TO OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION. SO GIVEN THE FACT DOJ POLICY SAYS

You cannot prosecute a sitting president. Expect Jack Smith's cases to be done. The last case, and I'll end on this, is that Atlanta case that deals with the 2020 elections. That's a local Georgia case. We've seen over the last year how that has played out with Fannie Willis, Nathan Wade. That has many problems, many different delays. So the bottom line for my story to all of you right now, Donald Trump's legal problems have essentially all gone away since he won last night. Harris.

Jackie, Jackie Smith. Justin is offering his services for a job search. He said contact him. You can reach out. Our email's on the website. Just ask for Justin B. Justin is willing to go do some head hunting for you if you're looking for a job. There's multiple spots here open in Stewart. Just please don't register to vote down here. Stay behind where you are, possibly in a D.C. area.

Walmart is definitely looking for some baggers up front. Hey man, you got someone, we gotta, we gotta get these jobs done. We gotta fill them in. Every job is valuable. Jackie, Justin B, he's going to hook you up, buddy. So Jackie bots is out of a gig and, uh, Derek Farland obviously is going to be out of a gig pretty soon. Um, as well, who knows? Uh,

Maybe they'll try to nominate him for another Supreme Court position in the next, God forbid, there is another Democrat White House. So I wanted you to have a little bit of fun. I have a couple. I'm not going to play too many. But it's amazing to watch leftists. You know what? Throw that tweet up first, the one you have on the problem. I just want to show them, and I'll get to the deets on it in a second. But it's amazing to watch leftists with tweets like this. If you're listening on Apple and Spotify, tweets like what? I'll get into this in detail in a second here, but...

Now we've got leftists that are like, by their own definition, correct you, they're election deniers. I mean, if you question a 2020 election, the left said, you're an election denier, which is weird because I never denied there was an election. Matter of fact, I acknowledged there was an election with problems, which makes me an election acknowledger, like the opposite of a denier. I don't deny there was an election at all. But you said them's the rules, right? You acknowledge the election and you think it had problems, you're a denier?

It's weird to see leftists and people on Twitter now go, man, this is kind of weird, those 2020 numbers. Right? Isn't it crazy? So strange how that happened.

I'll get back to this in a second. I'm going to take a quick break. And I want to get to some media meltdowns, including Lawrence O'Donnell, again, who wants to wipe out the Electoral College. I will give you a 20-second history lesson on the Electoral College. This is not for you, but it's for your dopey liberal friends who are too stupid to figure out that we wouldn't have a United States of America without the Electoral College. They still don't get that. They don't understand because they're stupid people. And you're going to make them unstupid people if they're capable.

You having trouble sleeping or staying asleep? I've been there. It's not just about feeling tired the next day. It's about the toll poor sleep can take in your life. But there is hope on the horizon with Beam's Dream Powder. They sent me something to try. It's been a game changer for me. You see, when we're sleeping well, we can be sharper, more focused, and ready to tackle whatever life throws our way.

Other sleep aids cause next day grogginess. You've seen it. But Dream contains a powerful all-natural blend of reishi, magnesium, L-theanine, apigenin, and melatonin. Helps you fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up feeling better and refreshed. There's never been a better time to try Dream.

I'm going to go back to that tweet in a second, I promise, but I want to play this first. Enjoy all of this, folks. Here's MSNBC that for two days has been sucking in, this is, here's my coffee, but they've been sucking in massive amounts of copium. They're like, oh.

Drink it up. Drink the copium because they just can't take it that they F this thing up so bad and they are totally incapable of reading the America they claim they live in.

Check this out from a mission. Apology to all of those states that we have not mentioned. It's not our fault. It's the founding fathers. They decided on this thing called the Electoral College, which, interestingly, no other country in the world decided to copy. And because of that, in presidential terms, in effect on nights like this, it you have a right to think that it feels like no one cares about your vote.

If you're in California or if you're in New York. And when you think about how enormous a force that can be in voter suppression, there may be nothing quite like it.

Holy shit, are these people stupid? Do they not understand why any of you guys history buffs, Justin, Michael, he knows everything. Michael's got like a 5,000 IQ or something. He's like a Stephen Hawking over there. This guy knows everything. We send them like math problems. He's like, look at me, smarty. Guy knows everything. He's like an Excel spreadsheet in his head or something. The electoral college, you wouldn't have a United States without it.

Folks, it's called the United States. There's a second word in that. The original states were like, we're not joining this union if you're going to, pardon my language, fuck us over. So the states, Michael, am I crazy? During when they were drawing up the Constitution and the rules, they were like, hey, man, I don't want to do what New York wants. We have our own interests. How are you going to protect our state?

Because if all the population centers pick the president, then you're going to F us over. And it's the United States. It's not the folks. Notice what I said. It's not the United People of America. It's the United States.

They all have their own thing going on. Florida's got interest. New York doesn't have. We have a big lake in the middle called Lake O. If you're in New York going, I don't give a shit about Lake O. Exactly. Why would you? I do. If it overflows, it's going to fuck the whole state up. It's not your problem. It's mine.

That's why we're the United States. So the founders said, we can't elect a president on a popular vote because then he's Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, more in original, you get the point. Over time, they're now not densely populated states. Their interests wouldn't be protected. It's the United States, dumbass. You wouldn't have one without it. It's the only reason we have a United States and a constitution.

One of the biggest issues holding up the drafting of our founding documents was how to pick the president. There were some who wanted Congress to pick the president, but you had separation of powers issues. Some wanted a monarch, and they were like, screw that. We got away from that shit. Others wanted the popular vote. So states were like, we ain't doing that. New York, California picked the president. Man, are you people stupid on the left. There would be no United States, you idiots.

Gosh, you got to have this. Now watch this. This is a tweet I showed you before. This is classic. You want to talk about the biggest like self-owned set of tweets of all time. This is all over Twitter yesterday. Even this woman, Pam in Florida, she ran for office was tweeting. So here are the numbers turnouts for the last elections from 2004 presidentials right to 2024.

You have one to 1 million in 2004. Follow me here. Cause I'll read them out to you. If you're listening on audio one to nine in 2008, in 2012, we had 126 million, 2016, 128 million, 2020, 155 million. We've never had more than 129 million. So in 2020, 155 million.

Then in 2024, it's right back to 129 again. So lefties are like, hey, nothing strange about this at all. And then some other guy writes, damn, y'all, maybe we really did steal the election in 2020. This is, if there was ever a John McClain, you know where I'm going with this? Anyone know where I'm going with this in the chat? If there was ever a John McClain, Bruce Willis, diehard, welcome to the party, pal. This is it. You wonder why a lot of Republicans are like, you wonder why we're kind of like, okay, we're

So you got this pandemic thing. You do a mass mail-in ballot election for the first time. Not the first time we've seen mail-in ballots, but a mass mail-in ballot election. Because, gosh, you can't show up. Everybody's going to get sick and die from COVID, which turned out to be hysteria. Okay?

So you get a mass mail-in ballot election. You got states like Pennsylvania that randomly change the rules at the last minute. You've got the emergence of these drop boxes all over the place. All of a sudden, something like, what, you know, 20 million, close to 20 million new votes show up, 18, 20 million new votes show up. They don't appear again. And liberals are like, man, where'd all those 18 million votes go? I don't know, man. I have no idea. If there was ever a vindication day, this should be it.

And the greatest irony of all is Sean Davis said this. He was a guest on my radio show yesterday. And I've thought about this often. If 2020 was a clean, fair election, like they said, I believe we would have won. The greatest irony of all, folks, they'd already be done with Donald Trump.

They'd be done with him. Donald Trump would be leaving office in January, hopefully in a successful second term. And they'd be done with him. Never have to deal with him again. He would have been turned out. And because of this anomaly and what I believe was a huge scam in 2020, now they got four more years. And if J.D. goes on and wins later, you could have 12 more years of the Trump dynasty.

It's amazing how liberals, they only, I told you all the time, liberals are full of shit. Nothing they tell you is real. Everything is bullshit all the time. If you question elections, you're an election denier. They're questioning the election now. Oh, but we're not election deniers. Only you guys are.

Here, I want to show you this one, too. Here's the view yesterday. This is how pathetic and disgusting the left is. I said to you yesterday, do you think there's going to be a minute of unity or self-reflection? There will be a few. There'll be like the Harold Ford juniors and the not crazy Democrats. Have you seen Harold on the five? I've met Harold personally many times. I'm telling you right now.

They're not going to convince me otherwise because I know this guy personally. Unbelievably genuine nice guy. My father is a Republican but really likes the Five. He met him at the Patriot Awards and Harold could not have been nicer to my dad. He's a genuinely good guy in the green room. Harold's just a Democrat, an old school Democrat with different ideas. You're not going to get me to change my mind. I would never vote for Harold. Harold would never vote for me. But that is an infinitesimally small part of the Democrat Party. I

I promise you that is going to look back and go, what the did we do wrong? And there's some do very few, but some.

most of the Democrats, I promise, are going to actually get crazier because they cannot blame themselves for their failings. They cannot possibly look in a mirror and go, we really suck. Here are the ladies in the view like, it wasn't us. It was definitely social media. We got to look into banning this stuff, man. They can't do it. They cannot acknowledge they are the bad guys. They can't do it. Watch this.

if we could regulate social media because one of the biggest offenders is DC and Congress have not been able to do one thing in regard to the rogue corporations in social media. It's not going to get any better with Elon Musk in the administration.

Folks, these are all over the place. I'm hoping to end the show with one of these today, too, from MSNBC. A similar clip. This is all they can talk about. Censoring people, booting Elon out of the country, pulling his government contracts, putting people in jail, weaponizing government. They cannot look in the mirror.

There are some, I'm not going to bullshit you, there are a very small number of Democrats that are starting to realize they've got a problem, not even close to it, and are afraid to speak out. They are afraid to speak out because they know the crazies like these losers will come after them.

Here's the grifter class, folks. Again, you think they would learn from this massive political ass kicking they took. Oh, here's Bill Kristol. Bill Kristol, who used to pretend to be a conservative. He's now a never Trump grifter. Look at what they're doing now. There's no question this guy's grifting, looking for money in his tweet. He's like, hey, one thought ahead. Will be important to have an informal but organized hub for the Trump resistance. That's worked so well. You guys are really kicking ass, Bill.

Use what levers of power there are outside of Trump's control to block his White House's bullying and intimidation to defend individuals or to counterattack politically. I have zero doubt that this guy, he's lost all clout. Him and his cronies are going to put together some group. Soon they'll be soliciting people for all kinds of, it's all bullshit, folks. Their entire identity is that we are not this guy. They stand for nothing anymore. Zero.

Again, you think the Democrats and the never-Trump swamp like Bill Kristol learned? They've learned nothing. I'm telling you they've learned nothing. You nominated a California...

liberal, through the most undemocratic process possible. You anointed as a queen this woman with zero votes for president ever, and she got destroyed and gave one. Why aren't you playing any speech yesterday? Why would I play your speech? It was one of the worst concession speeches I've ever heard. It was humiliatingly bad.

Not even bothering with it. Here's a San Francisco Chronicle. With Donald Trump as president, Gavin Newsom poised to become leader of the resistance. Oh, great. Great. You guys keep it up. Keep throwing down America's throat. Groups and bunches of California liberals. They just, listen, I love California. We have a big audience there. I'm not talking about the good guys.

You know, though, there, however, is about 50, 55% of the population over there based on votes who are just going to vote for crazy people. The rest of the country doesn't want that. And this is how many more receipts do you need? They are not going to learn a single freaking thing from this.

Along with Bill Kristol and the other grifter class, the media melting down and all of them, you've also got people like the Lennon Project, sometimes called the Lincoln Project. You remember them? With the whole, like, the guy with the Russia connections and all that stuff? You would think the Lincoln Project with Rick Wilson, who I'm telling you, I ran into at an airport. Have I ever told this story, Guy? I have. Rick Wilson from the Lennon Project. You know the guy? He's like a little troll. He looks like a lawn gnome.

This mother stinks so bad. I'm serious. I ran into him in an airport. Someone tweet to this guy today, a link to like Walmart, you know, like the antiperspirants and deodorants. The guy has a serious sulfur problem. I never smelled the guy. So I ran into an airport. It was like a cloud of stink that seared my nose. My nose hairs never recovered, which is good because you don't want a lot of no, I seared them all off. I don't have any. And we'll get up, seared them off years ago. They skin is never recovered.

Rick Wilson and the Lincoln Project. This guy has been grifting for now, what, eight years off Donald Trump? Everything they do, they lose. Everything. And this guy somehow still has a home in the media. Listen to Scott Jennings on CNN calling these idiots out. Check this out. I mean, this Never Trump whole complex that grew over the last several years,

Nothing has ever failed as hard in politics as this. The Lincoln Project, all these people that built millions upon millions upon millions of dollars from Democratic donors, and all the eggs that was put in this basket. The split was amazing. Trump got like 94% of Republicans. I don't think they accomplished anything except probably build a bunch of beach houses. That's about what they did. Republicans...

being lectured to, condescended to, browbeaten by all these folks over the last... I mean, look, at some juncture, it's okay if we have different opinions about the election. You don't have to beat people to death over it. And the more you do that, the more it drives people away. Total failure. It doesn't matter. I love this guy, Scott Jennings. I love this guy. He's great on CNN. He's been terrific.

It doesn't matter. You're not talking to rational actors. I'm trying to make a point here that, again, this is like the education portion of detainment. This is the edutainment segment here. The left has no capability to self-reflect at all. Folks, for however much you may not like

The primary process Donald Trump had to go through. I have told you a thousand times, have I not? Go back and listen to the show. You know you're lying if you say otherwise. Not that you would do that, but you get the point. Primaries are good things. Our primary, I thought, went on way too long. I thought Nikki Haley stayed in way, way too long. But I told you, everyone laughed at me. Not everyone. I don't want to be it.

A lot of people, oh, Dan, this is terrible. The DeSantis-Haley thing, it's killing us. And I said, no, it's not. It makes candidates sharper. What I'm getting at is the Republican party, we won. We won. We won.

That is evidence I'm correct and your theory is wrong. Primaries are good things. Everybody says the same thing after a primary. Guy, you remember? Remember we were in that cab in D.C. and you're like, nothing beats you. Remember we were in Texas forever. You know what I'm talking about? And everybody was like, I'm never voting for Trump ever. Or I'm never, you know what? DeSantis, I said the same thing. DeSantis, best governor in the country. Trump's going to be our best Republican president. You can have those two thoughts.

It made us sharper. It makes our movement sharper. In the end, everybody's going to come together. I told everybody, calm down with the primaries. The Democrats have no ability whatsoever to self-reflect. None. They send money to the Lenin Project. Bad shit happens. They send more money. It doesn't matter. They love getting screwed over.

Here's ABC absolutely melting down now that Trump is the commander in chief or going to be the commander in chief, I should say, is the president elect. Again, you would think these people would go. This fascist dictator talk is just not working. I'm going to play these two clips back to back because they're hilarious.

Here's ABC melting down about Trump being a, you know, he's going to be a commander in chief. Like it's going to be some nuclear war. He's going to get in and blow the whole country up as if he didn't have four years to judge him by. And then the next clip is going to be them acknowledging that maybe all this talk muddled the message of him being a fascist. It's the same network. No ability to look at him here at all. Play the first cut first about him being a, the military commander in chief. You're going to see this time. It's going to be different than last time. Yeah.

is the emphasis, the primary emphasis is gonna be on loyalty to Donald Trump. - Loyalty and the lessons he learned. - The military, right? I mean, how do you do that with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which is in a political position? I mean, he has said already he will get rid of all the woke generals, but I think in some ways you'll see a loyalty test there with the military as well. I mean, the current chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

He may look at and say, oh, this general is woke. I want him out of there. C.Q. Brown had a very emotional videotape that he released right after the George Floyd murder, talking about diversity, talking about racial injustice in this country. It'll be very, very curious to see what he does there.

Okay, so here we go. With this implication, this hint, this winky-winky nod-nod. Oh my gosh, we put Donald Trump in charge of the military. There's going to be posse comitatus getting thrown out the window. There's going to be invasions everywhere. It's going to be Civil War. Remember that movie over the summer that was a huge hit? The Civil War. What kind of American are you? This is what they're implying. There's going to be a third term. He's never going to leave. All of this stuff is bullshit. We actually have a term to judge him by.

No self-reflection at all. Receipts matter. Here's the same network where they internally wonder if all this fascist implications and threats to democracy, quote, muddled the message. You guys have any ability whatsoever to go, hey, look, we fucked this up. Here, check this out.

There were a lot of questions at the time, especially around the time that Mark Kelly's comments came out and she really was sort of hammering home that message, increasingly focused on the threat that she argued that Donald Trump posed. Was there a danger of going too far in that direction? And the campaign, I remember having these conversations with campaign officials and they insisted that they could do both, right? In part, they were trying to take advantage of the news cycle. Mark Kelly had come out and made these general

Sorry, General Kelly, excuse me, had come out and made these comments and they wanted to seize on those because they felt that it underscored their message. But at the same time, they felt she could go out there, you know, and balance the two that in her campaign remarks that she could hammer Donald Trump, but also put forward her positive vision. And it perhaps may have muddled the message a bit too much.

Am I? Listen, I'm not trying to be a jerkwad here, OK, but am I right or am I right? I told you there was going to be a small number of people in the media and on the Democrat side, a small number. And it's true that are going to say, hey, we want to win. What we're doing is a loser. How do we, you know, reconnect and realign our message with the American people?

Imagine again, like the Harold Ford Jr. types. People you wouldn't vote for, but you don't have to hate these people. And I wouldn't. And you shouldn't. I've always said it's not about all Democrats. It's about a crazy portion of their party. It's liberal, anti-American, cut your kids nuts off movement. That's insane. Most people will not.

They will not. They are not capable of it. Here's a supercut, Haptip Daily Caller put this together. This is amazing. This is a supercut. It's about a minute of the media meltdowns. Again, in case any of you out there in the swampy right think there's this moment for unity. I'm a realist, man. I'm a realpolitik guy. You're going to find unity with these crazies?

Are you nuts? They're doubling down on totalitarianism and censorship and all this other bullshit. And you expect us to roast marshmallows with them? Do s'mores? Are you crazy? Watch this. This is the biggest red wave I've seen since Ronald Reagan's 49-state victory. There were appeals to racism in this campaign. And there is racial bias in this country. And there is sexism in this country. I can't help but wonder if the American people have given up on democracy.

I hear what you're saying. And I do see it differently because I'm thinking about the people who are not a part of anybody's elite who are hurting tonight. If she were a six foot four white man from from Arkansas or from, you know, Florida, do you think she would be losing by that much? That we've got to be honest among Hispanic men and black men. There's a lot of misogyny. There are African-American women who know a little bit about being talked down to.

and a little bit about having their economic dreams crushed, who tried to dream a big dream over the past couple of months. It's not enough to get enough white women to vote for Vice President Harris, a fellow woman. This will be the second opportunity that white women in this country have to change the way that they interact with the patriarchy. There's misogyny.

But it's not just misogyny from white men. It's misogyny from Hispanic men. It's misogyny from black men. Now listen, Hat Tip Daily Caller, that goes on for a little bit. It's on their X feed if you want to watch it. I ended it there for a reason. Anybody in the chat got a guess? Anyone?

This is really an incredible strategy by Scarborough. Scarborough is a D-bag like you've never seen. This guy is a freaking bag of the highest order, okay? A man with no scruples or political instincts whatsoever. None. Zero.

Scarborough's strategy with Al Sharpton moving forward is now let's not just focus on this phantom white privilege and the evil white people. Now let's claim, did you guys hear? I'm not crazy, right? Now let's claim that black men and Hispanic men are also closet bigots and misogynists and racists too. I mean, again, please show me a receipt.

That there is going to be some mass media realignment and mass ideological realignment on the liberal left back to sanity. Produce receipts, I'll put you on the show. There will be none. I told you there will be a Harold Ford. There'll be a Mark Penn Democrat pollster. And no one will listen to them at all.

It's honestly a terrible thing for the country. It's a great thing for the Republican Party that keeps making moves in liberal states. Look at the New Jersey, New York numbers. But it's really a terrible thing for the country because you need two sane parties. You don't have them now. You don't have them.

And it's like how they screw up these little things. Here's Bob Costa in another media. I used to know this guy when he was a little more kind of down the center. He's kind of tilted way left. I don't know if appeal to people on the left, who knows why they do this stuff. But I met this guy when I was running for office. Here's Bob Costa talking about how,

Again, zero ability whatsoever to self-reflect. If you go out and talk to American voters, you will get the answer, what's your biggest problem, the economy and immigration, from probably 60% to 80% of them, depending on where you are. It's not hard. Well, what about the economy? Prices are too high. Okay, this is how reason works.

The economy sucks. I don't like it. I don't vote for change. Why don't you like the economy? Prices are too high. Why are prices too high? Well, we printed a lot of money to go chase a lot of products that raise prices. Maybe we should stop printing money. Here's Costa's hit where the Biden team that spent a bunch of money on a bunch of bullshit projects that raise prices wants credit for spending your money and raising your prices. And they're wondering why you didn't thank them. For real. For real. You think they're going to self-reflect?

We're gonna have to deal with more of this shit. These people are crazy. Watch this. There's also a sense of disbelief inside the Biden White House. Think about this. People have forgotten in 2021 when he comes into office, President Biden pushes forward a trillion dollar American rescue plan over a trillion dollars. Then he passes an infrastructure plan over a trillion dollars.

And there was a belief inside the Biden administration across all the high command that they would get credit politically in 2022 and 2024 for massive spending, spending they believed was at the same level as Franklin Delano Roosevelt. But what has surprised all of them or most of them, at least, is that come 2024, most voters have seemingly forgotten.

There's his words, man, not mine, not mine, daddy-o. His words, the Biden team was surprised. They can never make a logical connection by a logic chain. People think the economy sucks. Why do they think it sucks? Because prices are too high. Why are prices too high? We printed a lot of money. The money started chasing products that raised the prices of said products. People do not like when they have to chase products at higher prices. Maybe we should stop spending money. No!

No, their conclusion is we should have spent more money and put signs up. We spent this money. Great for the Republican Party. Terrible for America. They don't have the ability to do it. Now, I told you yesterday. Did I not? Called it. Flagged it. You can unflag it now. I told you recriminations would begin the minute Kamala Harris got crushed. We knew she was going to get crushed. Trying to caution against the red wave. I think you knew we felt very good about the election yesterday.

The sweep of the swing states, I got to be honest, I didn't expect the sweep of all of them. I thought Nevada would be a little bit more competitive. The results are just incredible. I told you recriminations would begin immediately. Here's Jackie Heinrich from Fox reporting on this.

Obama staffers are now pinning the blame on Biden for Harris's loss. Harris staffers are blaming some of the Obama staffers. Biden's people are leaking stories to the media about how shitty of a candidate they were. And David Plouffe, who's a notorious Democrat Biden and Biden Obama insider, said,

He notes, it was a privilege to spend the last 100 days with Kamala Harris. Notice he says in his tweet, this guy was a huge like Harris guy, right? Working on behalf of Obama. We dug out of a deep hole, but not enough. That was a shot, a big time shot at Biden.

So Heinrich notes that, man, these Biden sources are really pissed off. They call Plouffe a sanctimonious ass saying, I find this so unproductive. Revel in every second of that. Plouffe actually deleted his Twitter account after this. They are going to destroy each other over the next few months. Guy, do you remember my cannibalism theory? We have mentioned this probably 500 times on the show.

Folks, the left has run out of targets. They have. The right just ignores them. We ignore them, we run against them, and we defeat them. When they run out of targets, their power base is canceling and destroying other people. My cannibalism theory is if you give the left enough time, they will eventually turn on each other. Did we call it or did we call it? You watch. These stories are going to get worse over the next few weeks, I promise you. There's also a lot of recrimination...

This is, it's like the Elizabeth Kubler-Ross stages of grief when someone dies. They're not at acceptance yet. They're not even close. They're still in denial. They're not there yet. They're not there yet. But they're starting to question everything. Here's another one. This is a good one from CBS's Ed O'Keefe. The Liz Cheney fiasco. The most, again, if you're a reasonable person, just like I did on inflation, economy sucks, prices are up, stop spending money. No, we can't. Let's spend more money, right? The Liz Cheney fiasco. Any...

Any political consultant worth their salt, any political, I mean, a guy running for school board here in Martin County would tell you if you were a Democrat, maybe you should distance yourself from the Cheneys. They are a troubled political dynasty. Republicans don't like them. Democrats don't like them. Why would you attach yourself to Liz Cheney? Because Kamala Harris and her campaign are morons. Now they're starting to ask questions like, whose dumb idea was that? Check this out.

One of the biggest miscalculations. She could have been spending time on this. Somebody pointed out today, there are nine HBCUs in North Carolina. Do you know how many of them she visited? One. Imagine if she'd been spending time doing that instead of hanging out with Liz Cheney in the Midwest. Could have been a different story tonight. And there are going to be all sorts of conversations about that. Should she have doubled down on the base and not worried about fighting Republican women? Whose stupid idea was that?

Who's dumb? Justin couldn't even vote for the Bush-Cheney thing. He was like, how old were you in 2004? How old were you? You were two? My gosh. How freaking old am I? Holy Moses, am I old. Man, he was two. Like two. Like the dose. He's younger than a second-year-old.

That is insane. Justin is younger than Attack of the Clones, one of the worst sci-fi films in the history of not just any movie ever. Horrible. Horrendous. Nobody likes the Cheneys. Whose stupid idea was that? By the way, did we get the... Come on, we got to get the 200. We were at 199. Get...

to 200. This will be three days in a row. Over 200,000 people kicking ass and taking names in the live stream. Do it. Get us to 200 yet again. We are the kings of live streaming. The Bongino Army's taking over. I didn't even tell you. A left-wing media person reached out to me the other day. He's like, oh my gosh, did we miss this thing again? How are you guys kicking ass so much in live streaming? Because we get it done. That's how. Give us a follow right there too. Get to 200 before the show.

Here, I'll give you a little, I'll incentivize a little bit. Hold on to this thing for a second. I'm going to play you one of the greatest clips ever. Many of you don't remember this. You want to see how this whole thing started? Again, the left, no capacity to look in the mirror at all. This whole thing being the Trump MAGA era,

I debated playing a minute and ten of this, but folks, if you haven't seen this, bookmark this, save this video, and send it to all your friends. Yeah, get that Q-tip. If it wasn't for the smug, smug, unable to self-reflect left, Donald Trump would likely have never run for president. You know who got Donald Trump to run for president? Come on, you folks in the chat, you know? Tell me.

Yeah, you're damn right, Obama. Do you remember Obama attacking Trump viciously from the podium when he was up there at that dinner in Washington, D.C.? That was the moment Donald Trump was like, I'm going to get these guys back. This is the smug left, no ability to self-reflect at all. And how funny is it that Trump winds up dispatching the Clintons, the Bushes, the Obamas, the Bidens, all of them. Watch this. Donald Trump is here tonight.

Now, I know that he's taken some flak lately, but no one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the Donald. And that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter, like did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac? All kidding aside, obviously we all know about your credentials and breadth of experience.

For example, no seriously, just recently in an episode of Celebrity Apprentice, at the steakhouse, the men's cooking team did not impress the judges from Omaha Steaks. And there was a lot of blame to go around, but you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. And so ultimately you didn't blame Little John or Meatloaf. You fired Gary Busey. And these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night.

Thank you, Barack Obama. Thank you. So if it wasn't, think about this. If it wasn't for Barack Obama, think about this. Ponder this for a second. If it wasn't for Barack Obama, we would not have Joe Biden. He rescued this guy's horrendous, grotesque political career from the scrap heap after getting laughed at at presidential races before. Barack Obama, worst political judgment ever. And I'm telling you, would he have won? I don't know. But there's a good chance he wouldn't have if Obama...

didn't ruthlessly go after Donald Trump that night at that thing. And Donald Trump was like, you know what, man? I'll remember that. And he did. If it wasn't for Obama, I'm telling you, that's what happened. 202,000. We did it again. Bongino Army, I got my shirt on today. By the way, our shirt, more, more, four more years.
