Starting point is 00:00:00 you Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. So a couple people asked me to turn in my man card. A couple of listeners said, Dan, you've been talking way too much about this 50th birthday. What are you some kind of prima donna? Well, today's the big day. I'm a little worried though, a little bit windy. It was about a little bit of wind level. You don't get too much of that down here in Florida. But it was a little bit windy last night, but I think it'll be like mid high 60s. So I think we're going to be okay, but it's a big day. So you know, we talk about snapshots and sound, snapshots, say it right, brother
Starting point is 00:01:13 snapshots and soundbites all the time. So I thought kind of what better way on a great day like today, me, I'm really happy today. I'm in such an amazing mood to do a snapshots and soundbite show where we recap the entire year. I think you're gonna really like this. I hope you enjoy it. A lot of these were picked by our production staff, but based on the feedback we got from you guys, and it kind of sums up this whole past year in politics.

Starting point is 00:02:58 Listen, I practice what I preach, snapshots and soundbites. That's what politics is, is a political show. It is pictures and soundbites. That's what politics is, is a political show. It is pictures and soundbites if you think it's anything different. You have tuned into the wrong show. You may want to watch a show like Rachel Maddow where they get everything wrong all the time because they think it's more than snapshots and soundbites. So let's see what we got for clip one, the year in review. Check this out.
Starting point is 00:03:21 As it has been in the United States for Jamaica, one of the issues that has been presented as an issue that is economic in the way of its impact has been the pandemic. We will assist Jamaica in COVID recovery by assisting in terms of the recovery efforts in Jamaica that have been essential to, I believe, what is necessary to strengthen not only the issue of public
Starting point is 00:03:45 health but also the economy. Okay, I'm just going to let you know in advance, I swear to you on my integrity, the guys did not, they don't like when I know the clips in advance because they think they're going to get an inauthentic response and one of the things people say they love about the show is it's real. You're damn right it's real. I didn't know what they're going to play. My response to that is, what the f— did she just say? You want to know why Kamala Harris lost the campaign?
Starting point is 00:04:20 She had the absolute inability to give any clear and concise answer on any topic whatsoever because you know, sometimes the clips I've heard him like five or six times right guys before I sent him over. So I already know I don't really have to hear it. I've heard it. I cut it. I sent it over. I watched it.
Starting point is 00:04:37 I watched it two or three times, sometimes more. I'm listening to this and I still can't figure out what the hell she just said. If there was ever a clip that summed up the word salad problem And the lack of any kind of vision from Kamala Harris. That was it. I remember that one all right, let's see what else you got and assistance to state local governments around transit dollars and Looking holistically at the connection between that and housing This is the SA looking holistically at the incentives we in the federal government can create for local and state governments to actually engage in planning in a holistic manner that includes
Starting point is 00:05:11 prioritizing affordable housing. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Joe Pesci-Stalart. Okay, okay, okay. Leo Getz. Some of you will get that. One of the biggest problems in politics I find with people, and it's politics and the media.
Starting point is 00:05:28 I've kind of discussed this before, but I'll bring it up here again because it's critical, especially with this new year coming around and midterms only two years away. I call this the SAT problem. It's where a politician who's not that bright, very little aptitude, maybe some achievement, but it's faux achievement.
Starting point is 00:05:48 They hear a word they think makes them sound somewhat educated and eloquent on a matter. Gravitas, holistically, whatever it is, right? They find this stupid word and they fall in love with it and they repeat it endlessly on loop thinking they found something that makes them sound what's the wall man producer Jim help me out what's the Joe Biden word he says all the time whenever he wants to sound smart shit and one of you guys got to get this to me he says this word all the time when he's trying to sound like he's really smart. It's the SAT word problem.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Don't do this. It draws unnecessary attention to you as you repeat something and the brain tends to remember patterns. She does this shit all the time. It's one of the reasons she lost. Don't do it. It's the gravitas problem with Dick Cheney. Gravitas, gravitas. Once the word catches on, everybody repeats it because they think it sounds good.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Kids do this. Kids do this. What's the word kids use all the time? It drives you crazy. You've heard it, right? You have teenagers? Literally. Everything's literally.
Starting point is 00:07:00 That's why I hate that word. Everything's literally when they mean figuratively. Everything. If everything's literal, it's not literal, it's figurative. Literally. What's this damn word with Joe Biden? Damn it. It's going to drive me crazy. I don't know. It may creep up in this thing. I don't know what you got. You may have inadvertently played. We campaign with the plan. Uppercase T uppercase P the plan and then the environment is such that we're expected to defend the plan. Hello to all my divine nine brothers and sisters and my sororities. Let's just get through the Joe Biden word. You better thank a union member for paid leave. You better thank a union member for vacation time.
Starting point is 00:08:07 I just remembered the Joe Biden word, solicitous. Joe Biden says solicitous all the time. Solicitous, that's his SAT word. Don't fall for the SAT word problem. Folks, this is another critical problem in authenticity and not being genuine. Those are the many faces of Kamala Harris. You have rarely seen a political chameleon in your life like Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 00:08:32 She seemed to want to be everything to everyone to the point where she felt like she needed to talk to groups differently. But here's the thing. It's not only patronizing and condescending, but it's just wrong because people, whoever that group is, wherever they're from, whatever their race, color, creed, religion, it doesn't matter. They don't want to be spoken to as if they're different than anyone else and they require some different accent to be, it's patronizing to them. They get pissed off. They don't, it doesn't work. You think you're down, you're doing the Jenny from the block routine
Starting point is 00:09:05 You're not you sound like a moron Donald Trump talks the same way every single time and actually increase this voting percentage among some of these sensitive These sensitive groups to the Republican Party. We've been getting crushed demographically for a long time Because he never spoke differently to anyone ever because he never spoke differently to anyone ever. This is another don't do. This turns into snapshots and particularly soundbites that reflect particularly poorly upon your campaign. Everybody remembers Al Gore trying to fake it
Starting point is 00:09:38 in front of the black church. Hillary Clinton with, you know, I carry hot sauce. Hillary Clinton's never seen hot sauce in her life. She's totally full of shit. She's, this is all pandering. People see through it. They are not stupid. Don't do it.
Starting point is 00:09:52 It's a big no-no. Campaign managers, if your client's doing this, shut that down. Let's see what you got. All right. We can't afford. Oh, tampon, Tim. We can't afford all the tampon Tim we can't afford four more years of tampons. No, this was my favorite knucklehead at times. Yes you are.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Definitely a knucklehead at times there is zone zone shy and Senator Vance. He became a media darling. He wrote a book about the place he grew up, but the premise was trashing that place where he grew up, rather than lifting it up. I think we can affirm it. Has a venture capitalist cosplaying like he's a cowboy or something?
Starting point is 00:10:38 I don't even know what a venture capitalist does most of the time. It was, can you explain the discrepancy? No, just, all I said on this was is I got there that summer and misspoke on this, so I will just that's what I've said. A trap?
Starting point is 00:10:56 You guys can't get enough of this with the guy, can you? That he cannot live. So I was in Hong Kong and China during the democracy protest went in. And from that, I learned a lot of what needed to be in governance. How many times you get? It's supposed to be a video. Oh, here we go. You guys can't get enough of this shit, can you?
Starting point is 00:11:20 If you're listening on Apple and Spotify, please watch the rumble where they must have played the clip of Tim Walls Not knowing how to load his own shotgun at least five or six times It's oh, I know I know it's what it's him going on and on not being able but they can't get enough of that clip Okay, can I give you some life advice here? This is an important show. Okay, they're a king of the temple the Mount Olympus of Greek gods, Tamponikus Timicus,
Starting point is 00:11:50 using the lightning tampon as a weapon of mass destruction politically, unfortunately for his own campaign. I'm gonna give you a piece of life advice. You don't have to take it. You can say, what the hell you know about life. Your life's more screwed up than anyone. I gotta say, you'd be right.
Starting point is 00:12:03 What is two thumbs and screws up earth this guy? However, I'm gonna throw this at you because I know it's true You may call me crazy. I don't believe in self, you know Self destroying yourself like publicly and making yourself look silly. Some people like oh, it's cute You know self-effacing humor and all that other stuff. No, no, no, I don't buy it. I'm sorry, call me crazy. I've been married 20 years and all this other stuff. I'm not telling you that everything is like peaches and cream all the time.
Starting point is 00:12:31 That's not what I'm saying at all. But I don't do embarrassing stuff and I don't make myself look stupid in front of my wife and my kids. I just don't. That's my thing, I'm sorry. Someone asked me for Halloween ones. Can you dress up like this thing?
Starting point is 00:12:43 And I thought it looked stupid. I said, no. Oh, have some fun with it. No, no, I don't want to fun. You don't have to agree with me That's cool. It's my life. That's how I run it. Don't do anything that makes you look stupid Don't ever say in public. You're a knucklehead. Don't ever claim you're a moron in public because people will believe you Okay, but you're either a liar or you're telling the truth If you're a liar, you're a liar if you're telling the truth, then you're a knucklehead. Nobody wants a knucklehead, right? telling the truth. If you're a liar, you're a liar. If you're telling the truth, then you're a knucklehead. Nobody wants a
Starting point is 00:13:03 knucklehead, right? Also, don't do things that make you look dumb. Don't go out in a bubble boy suit. Don't throw a tank helmet on pretending to be a tank commander like Michael Dukakis. And don't go out pretending to go out on a hunt when you can't even load your own freaking rifle. You look like an idiot. Don't do it. This is not just a lesson for politics. It's one of Dan Bongino's lessons for life. You don't have to take it. It's fine I'm just telling you I don't do things that make me look stupid now
Starting point is 00:13:30 I'm not saying once in a while you're not going to get thrown into a situation where you look really stupid Just don't do it on purpose Just throwing that out there You do what you want with it Hey, you having trouble sleeping or staying asleep? Listen, I've been there. It's not just about feeling tired the next day. It's about the toll poor sleep can take on every aspect of your life.

Thank you beam
Starting point is 00:14:40 We appreciate it. All right now you're giving away the art of sealing the deal, the critical moments that I didn't even guess. Put a little chyron. These guys are all fancy now. What is going on? Hold on. Little blackout. This is actually blackout.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Can you see that? Can you see in there? You can see that. It's not like disgusting brown water from, you know, this is like actual blackout. It's the cinnamon French toast. It's black too, like there's no, which I'm, I'm still talking about black.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Okay, this is, yeah, I mean this is the property. This is not the property of you. Do we have it like this in a grading system? I mean, this has gotta be the property of you. I mean, at least politically speaking. USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA the foot of the deal. I mean, at least politically speaking. USA! USA! USA! You know, I didn't expect that clip to hit me that way. I've seen it like you probably probably what? A thousand times?
Starting point is 00:15:49 Folks, that was a special moment for all the wrong reasons. But I had known Donald Trump for a while. Again, I don't wanna exaggerate my friendship with him. Please, you sound like an asshole when you say that, trying to pretend you know people when you don't. But I have a relationship with him. We don't drink coffee together, but I've known him for a while and I've seen him outside of the public eye and he's a relationship with him. We don't drink coffee together, but I've known him for a while, and I've seen him outside of the public eye,
Starting point is 00:16:07 and he's a really special person. He's really obsessed with making you feel important. That's a unique skill very few people have. He's a good, decent guy. He's not a guy without flaws, none of us are. Some of them may be significant, but he's a really good and decent guy. I gotta tell you something, Donald Trump I've known and a lot of people are, some of them may be significant, but he's a really good and decent guy. I gotta tell you something,
Starting point is 00:16:27 the Donald Trump I've known and a lot of people, and a lot of you met him, I'm not the only one, a lot of you may know him like I have. You may have had a couple of conversations with him. That clip that day changed everything. I think a lot of people, even like the Mark Zuckerbergs of the world, that the pretty devout leftist in charge of Facebook
Starting point is 00:16:45 was like, that was pretty badass. Yeah, it was. Folks, I'm gonna tell you something, having been on the other side of that, doing the protection side, you hear a gunshot ring out, like I did at least when I was a cop, not as an agent, but you go into like,
Starting point is 00:17:02 fog of war mode instantly, and it takes a few seconds to clear your brain. This guy's first impulse was to get up and to scream fight, fight, fight. I mean, that takes a set of freaking coconuts like I've never seen. If there was a game changing moment in modern political history, forget about this election,
Starting point is 00:17:22 then that was probably it. That was a good one. I'm glad you guys put that in there even though we've seen it folks Don't you agree you can't you can't see that one enough? See we got next Now on the political tactics front this again Get this guy you believe this guy flipping the fries Is it in a suit in a suit
Starting point is 00:17:50 This is Trump. Of course if you listen on Spotify or Apple in the Mickey D He's like the best life for a fry flippin I've ever seen You want to do this all over here? Yeah. I only laugh because. I'm going to tell you some. There are a few politicians who this this actually I promise I did not know the cliffs again, I'm not making this up. This segues so beautifully from the Tim Wall segment where.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Don't make yourself look stupid in public. Being able to avoid looking stupid in public and having the je ne sais quoi, right? Charisma, nobody knows what it is, but you know what I'm saying? Do you know when you, if I'm going, don't stop me. You ever see like a guy or a woman walks in the room? You've never met this person at all.
Starting point is 00:18:40 It's a crowded room and everybody turns their attention. And I'm not talking about the beauty alone. I'm just talking about the shoulders are back, the chest is out. Everybody seems to be staring at this person. You get an air of power from this person. That's Trump. So whereas Tim Walz can't even shoot his own gun, Donald Trump can walk into a McDonald's in a suit, put an apron on, flip in fries and look more manly than Tim Walls in his hunting garb out there trying to fake hunt with a gun he doesn't know how to use. He claims it's his own.
Starting point is 00:19:16 You see the difference? If you flip that around, Tim Walls looks like an idiot McDonald's. And you put Donald Trump out there hunting, Donald Trump doesn't know how to work the gun. He'd be like, what kind of bullshit gun is this community? You get what I'm saying? Okay, okay. I don't know what if I know you guys get some other good stuff. Does that make sense?
Starting point is 00:19:34 That's the Jenna Sequa. It's called the Jenna Sequa because nobody knows why they have it. The people who have it just have it. I wish I could bottle it. I'd be stupid rich. How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden. I wish I could bottle it. I'd be stupid rich. How do you like my garbage truck? Oh, of course.
Starting point is 00:19:46 This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden. And I have to begin by saying 250 million Americans are not garbage. I did not plan this at all. This I did not plan. Perfect. This is Trump in a garbage truck after Joe Biden called MAGA supporters, of course garbage. Many of you remember that.
Starting point is 00:20:09 This is, Trump decides to go out there and we recommend it. I'm not saying they heard it from us, a thousand people were saying, but what did we say? Like if Donald Trump doesn't get out there in a sanitation truck tomorrow, I didn't even think of the vest by the way,
Starting point is 00:20:23 and go out there in a truck, is this a missed political opportunity like you've never seen. The sanitation vest is the perfect example. What does he say coming out? Do you remember that part? Again, we didn't plan this. He's like, hey, before I was coming out, they told me to put on the sanitation vest and I didn't really think it was a good idea. I thought I'd look silly. But you know what? And you know, here's what he's saying in his head, language alert.
Starting point is 00:20:45 He's saying, fuck that motherfucker. I'm Donald Trump. I'll put on whatever the hell I want to get. I'll make it happen. That's how he is. That's how he is. That's how he, he just has freaking basketballs down there. He just does.
Starting point is 00:20:58 And that's why he can make that work. Whereas if Kamala Harris or someone else came out in a sanitation vest, they would look like idiots every single time. Perfect segue there. Totally completely unintentional. A Biden blunder bonanza. Hard to pick a few but these were our favorites. All right, let's see what your favorites were. Making sure that we continue to strengthen our health care
Starting point is 00:21:22 system, making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the COVID, excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with... Is this... I don't know what he just said. We finally beat Medicare. This is it. He watched the end of his campaign. Thank you, President Biden, President Trump. He's right.
Starting point is 00:21:47 He did beat Medicare. He beat it to death and he's destroying Medicare. I remember guys, we were doing that live and that was one of the moments we all looked at each other on the debates when we were doing the live debate coverage because we were trying to shut up and not say too much. We were just trying to let the debate play out so we didn't interrupt. But that was one of the moments we all looked at each other and we were like, this guy's campaign is over.
Starting point is 00:22:11 We had, we called it, go back and listen to the sense, you know, proven bona fides, you can listen to yourself. We called it. We told you this guy was not going to be the nominee. I think it was that moment. And when Trump said to him, when he said, listen, man, I don't even know what this guy just said. That was it. That was the official end of Joe Biden's campaign, because probably 30 plus million people were watching that probably another 50 million
Starting point is 00:22:34 on clips who realized that everything we had said about this guy's cognitive function and brain not working was absolutely correct. He just couldn't put together a string together a series of sentences. You saw it yourself. Yeah, that was a good one. I actually forgot about that moment in the debate. Let's see what else you got. Confused one direction, the other direction, looks back. So again, if you listen on Spotify or Apple, Biden's on stage. He goes one way, goes the other way, salutes someone who's there or may not be there. We don't even know what he's, maybe he sees phantasms.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Maybe it's like the Amityville horror thing. Nobody knows. He walks off. Now, why is this clip important? This is something I don't have a lot of experience and a lot of things, but I definitely know how logistics of a presidential visit work. I've told you guys well over 500 times that in events like this, the president is given a tick tock and basically footsteps. In other words, here is exactly what you're going to
Starting point is 00:23:40 do. When I say exactly, I mean exactly. You, it'll say POTUS, walks on stage from stage right, stage left, doesn't matter. You follow footsteps on stage. You exit stage left, work rope line. You, and not only that, there's someone guiding him. If you're the president of the United States and you don't know where to go after your speech is over, and you were told this 15 minutes prior with notes in front of you, then folks, this guy's cognitive disorder is probably so farther along advanced than we can possibly imagine.
Starting point is 00:24:15 This guy's in real trouble. I've been there. You never see stuff like this. I challenge you, go look at Donald Trump, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, make it a bipartisan thing. Go back and sit there and scroll on a video platform all day and see how many times they were confused getting off stage. I guarantee you, you're barely gonna find one.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Barely. Because it's impossible. You have to be mentally not there. I love those clips. I mean, I don't love them, but I love them because I haven't been there. I know how bad that really is. The staff and the Secret Service are probably like, shit, we just told them five minutes ago. Like, what the hell does that like this? They got like the airplane things in
Starting point is 00:24:54 there this way. They do. That's a great guy. That's funny. He's never funny. That's funny. They do. They have like a a behavioral learning negative like PTSD response Whenever hail that achieve comes on because they know they're gonna have to this way bro this way Every day stress level goes up automatically now whenever they hear the music They're gonna be sitting at home after the detail and the wife will have fox news on it's after say a midnight They're sleeping at one o'clock and even and the guy's gonna jump up and oh my god where's Biden Biden Biden Biden's been out of office for years let's see what else oh this is great
Starting point is 00:25:42 Yeah, he said we're doing good. Yes, he is going that far. There he goes. You know, I got to tell you, man. Yeah. I'm a little torn on this one. I'm a little torn on this one. Can I let you guys in on a little secret? I shouldn't say this, but I'm going to. He's like, then don't. No,'t say this, but I'm gonna. He's
Starting point is 00:26:05 like, then don't know. I shouldn't, but I will. When this happened. Biden's so out of it, folks, I really don't think there was any agenda here at all. I don't he's so out of it. I'm not even sure he knew what he was doing. I maybe he knew was a Trump hat. Maybe he did. I don't know. But was doing. I maybe he knew it was a Trump hat. Maybe he didn't. I don't know. But Biden's I'll tell you why I'm torn on this. I'm going to get into it. I'm going to get in a rabbit hole. I dislike this guy so much because he's so corrupt in what he did with his family and all this other stuff makes me so sick to my stomach and all the endless lying and comparing us to Nazis. I mean, I have
Starting point is 00:26:45 a visceral emotional reaction to Joe Biden. But again, I can't be a hypocrite and say, don't get emotional about politics, stay transactional and get emotional about it, even if it's Joe Biden. I didn't want to say anything at the time, because I really can't stand this guy. But I didn't find that clip to be. I really think he just didn't know what he was doing and he was trying to be like a funny, friendly guy. And, um, I don't know. I shouldn't have said it. I mean, you get the, I don't want you to think I'm ever being fake with you. I'm not. I just, I disliked this guy so much. I may have attributed to him is what I'm getting at. Really malicious
Starting point is 00:27:26 motives because he's a genuinely awful guy that in that moment may not exist. Does that make sense? Sometimes, you know, I get into stuff and you know how I am my head goes crazy. Hey, nothing delivers comfort joy quite like the unrivaled quality and taste of Omaha steaks.

All right, now we have the Lib Lowlights, which is good because there are never highlights. We don't have a Lib Highlights section because there are none. Let's be real, they're all lowlights. But these guys say they're funny though.
Starting point is 00:29:56 I'll be the judge of that. It is called the Dan Bongino Show. Let's see what you got. Young black kids growing up in the Bronx who don't even know what the word computer is. They don't know, they don't even know what the word computer is. They don't know. They don't know these things. And I want the world open up to all of them. Okay, I have a deal for you. If we get a seat in the new Trump White House press room, you
Starting point is 00:30:16 know, they're talking about breaking up the press room and giving seats to media channels that actually people listen to like us and Charlie Kirk and others if we get that and I hire a correspondent one of my first requests when they're not in a press room say maybe for a weekend gig one day is gonna be to go to the Bronx and ask young kids who are black what a computer is I can guarantee you governor of New York Kathy Hokel guys what do you say in the percentage let me throw this out there I'm gonna say a sample size maybe we asked 50 young black men let's say 13 or under. Let's say 10 or under just to be fair to Kathy Hokel, who thinks young black kids are idiots.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Let's say 10 or under. I'm going to say 100% for the liberals who are bad at math, that's 50 out of 50. I'm going to say 50 out of 50 not only know what a computer is, but can operate a computer and can describe a computer. Guys, are you going with 100% or maybe a little less? Justin wants to go to Cal-Chi or one of those betting sites and he wants to put $100,000 he doesn't have on 100% of black kids, 10 and younger know exactly what a computer is and honestly are probably better at using it than Kathy Hocle.
Starting point is 00:31:25 But of course, Kathy Hocle is a liberal. So will anybody call her a racist? Nah, they'll celebrate it and make apologies for her because that's what they do because liberalism and racism, they go hand in glove. That was a good one. I've forgotten about that one too. That was one of the gems of the year. You guys put this together yourself very good. Let me see what else you got. Well, first, I think we have to acknowledge that Donald Trump knows our country better than we do. Oh, yeah. And then she goes to shit on the country again, right? I think he figured out that anger and frankly fear were way more powerful than appealing
Starting point is 00:32:02 to people's better angels. That anger and fear were going to work in this election. Whether you're afraid of immigrants or afraid of people who are trans, he figured that out. I think we're going to have to understand what type of leadership do they want. We were pledging to be inclusive. We were pledging to bring people in. Donald Trump has said that that isn't what he wants.
Starting point is 00:32:26 And so if that's what America's leaning towards, I guess for me, it's to understand and learn more about America, because I thought that they were going to probably move towards a more positive message. I see what you guys did here. Tell me if I'm right. Tell me if I'm right.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Well, you guys are, the theme of what you're doing here is liberals pretending to acknowledge that they were wrong about who America really is and then turning around and shitting on America and admitting they have no idea who America is. Am I right? I have no idea what America really is. Am I correct or am I correct? Tim Walz and Claire McCaskill, former Senator from Missouri before she got defeated soundly
Starting point is 00:33:04 by Josh Hawley, claiming, oh my gosh, you know, maybe we have to reevaluate, we have to look in the mirror, maybe all the stuff we've been doing is crazy, we gotta stop, we gotta stop. Oh, and by the way, you racist, bigoted, fascist Nazis who don't wanna be inclusive, you can plant a big wet one on my ass.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Keep it up, keep it up, kids, we got midterms coming up. I cannot wait to see what you've got in your pockets next, if that's gonna be your attitude, I absolutely love it. That was good. I like how you put them back to back I didn't know this was gonna be like mashups within a mashup show very nicely done Let's see what you got. Everything we do is under fire Elon Musk sits on Twitter every day or X today. Oh van der Heide saying like we are the media you are the media My message to Elon Musk is bullsh** you're not a media you having you having a blue checkmark a Twitter handle in 300 words of cleverness doesn't make you a reporter
Starting point is 00:34:03 you don't do that by popping off on Twitter. Don't do that by having an opinion. You do it by doing the hard work. Oh, my gosh, that was that was a personal request. Thank you guys seriously for including it. Folks, that may not be the funniest or the silliest or the most sarcastic or the one worthy of me throwing, you know, throwing a rotten eggs at. But it is telling, that's Jim Vanderhai,
Starting point is 00:34:28 who's one of the bosses over at Axios, which is the left-wing news outlet. I want you to keep in mind there, this is just an extinction burst by him. An extinction burst in psychology is when you engage in a behavior, you're used to a response from, you put a dollar, you get a Coke, and then put a dollar in the machine,
Starting point is 00:34:42 the Coke doesn't come out, so you beat up the machine that's what van der Heij is doing he's engaged in extinction burst he's beating up the machine okay he's kicking the machine because he doesn't understand there he's incapable of understanding how the propaganda they've been using for 50 years is no longer working and he's upset that people like us beat them at their own game that's all this is this is an emotional outburst that really became a rallying cry to the left. They thought this was great, make no mistake, them celebrating, them being wrong in just about every media story of the decade and yelling about it. But on the
Starting point is 00:35:16 right, it was a laughing stock. And all of us know exactly what's going on. And I know who's right, because we have an audience and they don't at least relatively speaking. Let's see what else you got. Everyone's favorite podio host. Oh, oh is that a thing? Did you like make a word up? Is that in the dictionary? I think you should, I think everyone should go put an urban dictionary. Can we make submissions? Because I actually like that patio. If you're a radio and a radio podcast host, a patio, some of memorable moments from Mr. Bonjie. That's me. Okay, well, let's see what you got. Fanatics on the right.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Go. Oh, no. But the Democrats were very tactical folks. They're not stupid. They understand that it doesn't matter if these illegals vote or not. It does. I mean, it's terrible. Obviously, if they do, they broke the law. All right. All Democrats do not want illegal aliens to vote. Now, the far left does, but he didn't define it that way. He said the Democrats, you know, no.
Starting point is 00:36:27 OK, so let me say again, fuck you, Bill O'Reilly, you lion sack of shit. You're a chump and you're obviously a pussy, too. I hate Bill O'Reilly. I always have. He's a douchebag. I used to do his show once in a while at Fox and you would sit there at this little desk. And because he was such a dick and everybody hated him. No, everybody hated this. Well, just about maybe there were a few people like, did you notice when Bill O'Reilly got into that shit? I'm not going to even talk about it because it's pretty gross. When he, do
Starting point is 00:36:56 you notice nobody defended him? You got something to say to me is six foot tall plus piece of shit. Say it to my face. Oh my gosh. Fucking chump. Wow. Piece of shit. You're six foot tall plus piece of shit. Say it to my face. Oh my gosh. Fucking chump. Wow. Piece of shit. You're listening to this guy, you're being played. Wow. I, man, okay, number one, everything I said in there is accurate.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Did you, he did, he started a fight. He should never bothered me most about that clip. So you understand the background. You know, people talk smack about me all the time, whatever, right? He did he started a fight he shouldn't have bothered me most about that clip. So you understand the background You know people talk smack about me all the time, whatever right? the reason that can under my skin is this guy was always reaching out about coming on my show and Selling his book and I've tried to make my radio show. I do people's books once in a while I'm obviously, you know friends come on
Starting point is 00:37:41 They have good material but I'm trying not to make it a book show Because then his show gets annoying people want to hear about other things So I always made room for this guy and I'm telling you he would reach out all the time about his books And we always had him on I was never and a matter of fact on Fox when he asked me to come on We never said no we always did his show and man for this guy to not even give me a heads up and say, Hey, can you clarify what you meant by this? To just randomly try to invoke my name for clickbait? Oh man, was I furious. And I'm going to tell you again, everything I said in that clip is true. That guy was hated, hated. Nobody liked that guy. Nobody. Maybe well, I shouldn't say that a few people were kind of milk toast about him and I met,
Starting point is 00:38:28 but not a good guy at all. And he deserved all of that. Sometimes people will be like, ah, you know, do you regret going after him like that? No, no. Folks, you're gonna punch me, man. I'm sorry. This is a double leg takedown coming
Starting point is 00:38:40 and we're jumping on top full mount. Sorry. It just doesn't work that way. Don't poke the, forget about the bear, don't poke the tiger. I was like, I forgot it, man. I really felled that dude. That, oh my gosh, you ain't kidding. I'll see it, I'll see you guys.
Starting point is 00:38:56 In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there. They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats, they're eating the pets of the people that live there. People of Springfield, please don't eat my cats Why would you do that, eat something else? People of Springfield, please don't eat my dog Here's a catalogue of other things to eat They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats
Starting point is 00:39:44 They're eating the pets. They're eating the pets of the people that live there. They're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there. They're eating the dogs. I actually I'm not I'm not a dad. I can't dance. I'm not a dad. I liked it. It doesn't mean I don't like it. I do things I can't do all the time. But I actually that's a great song that what's that guy's name? Charles Downs or something that that guy that's actually a really good song. And by the way, one quick thing, because this is a political show, you know, funny, but whatever. I remember when we were told that us highlighting the eating of the dogs and the cats was going to be the end of
Starting point is 00:40:32 the campaign. Oh my gosh, Ohio, everybody's going to turn on you guys look horrible. Yeah, it worked out well for don't ever listen to media bullshit. Whatever they say, spin it 180, spin it 180. and I can guarantee you the opposite is true, which it was. We won Ohio in a mega landslide. So don't believe any of their bullshit. That was a good one. All right. What else you got? Random screenshots. Okay. I didn't see this coming. Oh, is that Figezi? No, you notice how I have him in like a karate position there?
Starting point is 00:41:06 You see like I've got like the unbendable arm going, my left arm in the karate position as I, and I think it's because I... No, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah. Michael's like all into jiu-jitsu. Now wait, put the screenshot back up. So me and Michael talk jiu-jitsu all the time. Guy and Emma like, and Justin like, what the hell you guys are we talking about? The thing about the Figezi thing is, I'm so sensitive about the Figezi,
Starting point is 00:41:29 because I only got one big Figezi head. I got a lot of small Figezi heads. I don't want the Figezi head to ever like a dent it, because this is really an integral part of the show. I think that's why I had like the, they teach in a secret service, the unbendable arm when you walk, that's why I had the unbendable arm going because I'm very defensive about the
Starting point is 00:41:46 Fagazi head They only got me one Fagazi head I Have a lot of small ones but not been you know Fagazi's got a big head So we don't want to mess up the big head Fagazi You see that Underhook Michael's always thinking jets you got gotta get them underhooks all the time. What else you got? Oh my gosh, should I tell them the story behind this
Starting point is 00:42:09 with Paula? So, Guy, oh here we go. Here's Guy. Here's the story with this. So, because we're always talking about, you know, people having figuratively big balls, because you know, I hate the word literal. I mean, you may, but that's a problem.
Starting point is 00:42:28 You may have to seek out, if you have elephantitis issues, like Johnny Dangerously. But I said, Gee, go out and get like some watermelons and some grapefruits and stuff like that. So Gee went out and got some grapefruits, which just punched me right in the face with. And we put them on the show and I love them. I think they're the greatest thing.
Starting point is 00:42:48 But you see the little moire effect by the way here going on? Do you see that? With this is this yellow. It must be doing something to the camera. This is not an electric watermelon folks. I promise you what you're seeing on camera is not real. This is just a yellow stripe. It looks like it's like glowing or something.
Starting point is 00:43:02 Paula absolutely hated it. And usually I sometimes I overrule, which is most of the time, but in this case, she was like, I hate the grapefruits and the watermelon, so we're never gonna do it again. But I'm glad you put the screenshot up, because there's always a story,
Starting point is 00:43:16 and you guys are entitled to know the deets. Here, save those though, don't throw them out, because we may need them in the new studio. I know, it may cause a big, I may be divorced after this. I know, she did hide them. Paula wanted to pop them and throw them in the garbage. But I had it. I had a backup pair just in case. Ah, you can take that a lot of different ways. All right, let's see what else you got. Oh my gosh. Now
Starting point is 00:43:38 was the way this was a date day we got a repeat of Figezi. This is me actually hugging Figezi. The light in the studio is reflecting on the right cheek a little differently though. He repeat of Figezi. This is me actually hugging Figezi. The light in the studio is reflecting on the right cheek a little differently though. He looks a little strange. He looks extra white on the right side of his face, but it was 8-8 day, which of course Figezi thinks Donald Trump lowered the flags to half mass when he meant half staff to acknowledge Heil Hitler. He actually said that, which was insane. So I guess kind of convenient that he's got an extra white face going on that day due to the lighting in the studio.
Starting point is 00:44:09 But I am hugging Figezi right there, showing our love for the great Frank Figezi. I wonder if Kamala Harris would have won if he would have been like the FBI director or something. What do you think? The possibility. All right, let's take one more. What else do you got?
Starting point is 00:44:23 Two more, OK. Oh my gosh, Rockham Sockham. What else you got? Two more. Okay. Oh my gosh. Rockham Sockham. Was my Rockham Sockham robots. Thank you to my accountant, Josh. Good man. He sent me turns out the Rockham Sockham robots set.
Starting point is 00:44:35 Was I not right with the Rockham Sockham robots strategy that this is the way to overwhelm them. I told you they were going to take a scalp. They did. I wish they hadn't. But now we're seeing as Pete Hagseth and Tulsi Gabin, RFK move along. Now we're seeing Rockum Sockum Robots. There I was. I actually, I wanted on the record, beat Guy rather handily. Despite not having played Rockum Sockum Robots in over 30 years.
Starting point is 00:44:58 I still won the game because I'm just got mad skills like that. So that was a good one. All right. Let's see what you got for the last one here Wow, that was the for do you remember what this was for? This was the six middle finger salute never before seen on the damn Bon Gino show with the sneakers Look at this man. You can't even like see the actual middle finger I was given with the toe but that was the six middle finger salute that gosh, does anybody remember anyone in the chat?
Starting point is 00:45:30 Give us a, no, I'm gonna look. I wanna see what that was. If you remember what that's gotta be a P1 of P1 things. I don't remember, but that was the only time I think we ever did a six, July 10th. So someone go back and figure out what that was about. But I must've been really annoyed at that one. But either way, we were probably right because we predicted just about everything on the show.
Starting point is 00:45:49 This year, she was pretty good. The sextuple barrel middle finger. That was good, guys. That was a good show. Hey, man, I hope you enjoyed the show on this Friday. We're going to party a little bit tonight. I'll have a weekend update for you on Monday. I appreciate everything. And I promise after Monday, for those of you who wanted me to turn in my man card, I'm only 50 once. I'm just a dude. It'll be the last time we ever address it. Maybe I can earn my man card back from you, but your opinion matters too. Thanks for tuning in, folks. See you back here on Monday. You just heard the Dan Bongino show.
