Edge 1776, I'm watching you guys. Tell me in the chat if you think I'm nuts. I actually think the separation of the two Donald Trump terms with four years of Joe
Starting point is 00:01:01 Biden have created an absolute witch's brew for the Democrats where now Donald Trump is at peak popularity because people missed him so much. In other words, what I'm getting at is, tell me if I'm crazy, if you were going to get two Donald Trump terms anyway, I'm almost at the point right now where I'd rather have it this way than the other way. Because now you had this foil effect in between of four years of horror. And then you have this, this reemergence into the political scene reinvigorated stronger,

Starting point is 00:04:48 All right. Last night, folks, what an absolute disaster for the anti-Trump opposition. You know, I can't say it enough. I am not a huge fan of James Carville, Democrat political analyst, because I'm not a Democrat. I'm a Republican. Right now I'm in my political opinion role, I have strong opinions, I am a conservative, MAGO-oriented political opinion commentator.
Starting point is 00:05:13 I don't think that's a mystery. I find it hilarious when reporters are still reaching out, by the way, they're still reaching out. Our friend Stewie Thompson reached out to producer Jim. Dan Bongino said that we know what Dan Boncino said guys How do you think we know what Dan Boncino said on the Dan Boncino show? Because Dan Boncino said it on the damn budge we know Stu we know you don't have to send us our quotes We know because I said them it wasn't a clone
Starting point is 00:05:40 But it's amazing how media people are stunned that a guy who has a job right now is a political opinion maker, has political opinions. Crazy. However, last night was a disaster. Carville, who I don't agree with in the opinion front, says often, the old adage is, don't just stand there, do nothing. All the Democrats had to do last night, like Zelensky, all he had to do on Friday was show up and sign the minerals deal, and he didn't do it, he blew it, and really screwed it up. Starting to unwind a little bit of that now, which is okay and a good thing, however, screwed it up.
Starting point is 00:06:18 All the Democrats had to do last night was show up. You don't have to clap for everything, no one expects you to. I don't expect you to clap for tax cuts and things like that. I know you don't like that stuff. But when you're talking about deadly, literally deadly serious situations, like Lake and Riley, you know, you get up and you're solemn. And when you find out something's being done about that, you acknowledge it. A 13 year old with brain cancer, cancer is something I'm all too familiar with.
Starting point is 00:06:48 You ignore it when people get up and give the young man a round of applause. I mean, really? Al Green, getting him, we'll show you more of this. Al Green get him screaming like Scrooge McDuck with the cane. Did anyone even, do you guys even hear what he was saying? I mean, if you're gonna scream, here's a little hint. If you don't have a microphone, nobody hears you. All everybody saw, pretend this was Al Green's cane was here's what they
Starting point is 00:07:12 saw as a all they heard was Charlie Brown's teacher shaking a stick at people. You really believe this is the image you want. Even Dick Durbin, longtime liberal Democrat, Dick Durbin on the Senate side, he was like, well, I wouldn't have done it that way. Of course you wouldn't, it looked terrible. And the contrast of that and then Donald Trump projecting strength up there and pointing out all his political polemics
Starting point is 00:07:36 that made a martyr out of him was imagery I'll never forget. One of the best speeches he's ever made, reviewed overwhelmingly positive by the public, receipts incoming in case you think I'm making it up. Let's play this one first. Here's one that we're going to cover the highlights of the night. Here's Donald Trump talking about weaponized justice going after him and how it completely, 100% backfired and
Starting point is 00:07:57 newsflash he's correct. Check this out. We've ended weaponized government where as an an example, a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent like me. How did that work out? Not too good. How did that work out? Well, in an electoral college landslide. Folks, there's no disputing the fact that this was an electoral college landslide. You can stick to your talking points all you want. Oh, there's no mandate. He only won the popular vote by X amount of votes.
Starting point is 00:08:35 In a polarized country where large big cities in New York, California, Chicago, New York, LA, Chicago, and San Francisco move a lot of the popular vote one direction. That's not an effective argument to make. You're losing, you're losing because you're not listening to Carville. Don't just stand there, do nothing. Really. The line of the night, of course, was this.
Starting point is 00:09:00 The border was a big issue. The borders turned chaotic. The open border has resulted in a fentanyl crisis, a child sex trafficking crisis, a logistics crisis, and a legal immigration crisis, a gang crisis, a public safety crisis. The open border under Biden was a disaster. There was no question this probably sunk the Democrats
Starting point is 00:09:20 along with the economy. So you would think again that the Democrats would get up and at least applaud some measures being taken to secure the border because it's almost a universally popular issue right now. Nope. And Donald Trump took the perfect opportunity to tell you what I was telling you the entire time. The Immigration and Nationality Act allowed the president, whether it was Biden or Donald Trump, to shut the border to classes of illegal migrants for any reason, for any amount of time. Look it up. Joe Biden just didn't want to do it.
Starting point is 00:09:50 And Donald Trump in the line of the night made sure he pointed that out to whoever wrote this in the speech. I don't know who wrote this, Stephen Miller or one of the other guys. Oh my gosh. As you're right, this may be a Trump improv moment. This was the line of the night. Check this out. You're right. This may be a Trump improv moment.
Starting point is 00:10:03 This was the line of the night. Check this out. The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation. We must have legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president. What's the Bon Gino rule? What is it? Folks in the chat, where am I going with this? Get ahead of me. Get. Oh, come on. Yeah, Guy beat him in the punch.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Guy's dropping dimes right here. Yes, yes, who just, I'm gonna see if anyone, sometimes the chat is a little bit delayed. Yes, who did it for, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, man, you guys are so many, so many people and I gotta get the first one. Oh, man, I missed it. But you guys are, now you're all getting it.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Soundbites, yeah, soundbites and snapshots. You guys are the best. Here, DSBushemi, that's a snapshot. You're damn right. Soundbites and snapshots. And which one did Donald Trump have last night? Soundbites or snapshots? Trick question, he had both.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Messing with it. Imagine this snapshot of Al Green screaming with the cane. No one can hear him. The Senate, excuse me, that house sergeant at arms. They had to remove him while he's screaming Scrooge McDuck style while Donald Trump's at the podium with the smirk and JD Vance has given him the, you know, I don't really care Margaret's side eye. Do you have this know what we got to play this we got to play this I didn't really intend them playing this right but it's perfect okay you got
Starting point is 00:11:31 this you got the sound bite of the night there were tons of them but that was no that was definitely numero uno this is for the snapshot this is all people are gonna remember on the snapshot side check it out take your seat. Take your seat, sir. Take your seat. Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted disruption of proper decorum, the chair. Folks, JD gives them the the old heave ho thumb. The snapshots and soundbites.
Starting point is 00:12:08 You guys listen, you all are the most amazing, fantastic audience because you guys learn so quick. I was a quick learner too. I really absorbed everything with politics really fast. That's why we went from one career to the other and moved right away. Snapshots and soundbites. Look at this. Look at this. Man, did you catch that at the perfect time. Johnson, Mike Johnson's looking like, I can't
Starting point is 00:12:29 believe I got to deal with these knuckleheads. Trump is smiling like, man, you guys just gave me a snapshot gift because he knows it. And JD's giving him the old evil. Guys, Trump's face, look at his face. Hey guys, someone out there, I know you guys are meme lords out there. Somebody put that up on X and truth and just bump that thing around, man. That is, that's up there with,
Starting point is 00:12:57 listen to me, to my Apple and Spotify crowd, you know I love you, you guys were there from the beginning. We didn't have video in the beginning. But please, you gotta watch it. Go guys were there from the beginning. We didn't have video in the beginning. But please, you gotta watch it. Go to 14 minutes into the show. You gotta see that, where Guy stopped at. That is the greatest snapshot ever. You could.
Starting point is 00:13:14 What's that line they put onto it? Oh yeah, so let's keep it. And JD and Donald Trump are checking it out. Guys, they say hang it in the Louvre, hang it in the Louvre. Hang it in MoMA in Manhattan. That is just a beautiful picture. That is what politics is about. You starting to see it now?
Starting point is 00:13:35 When you woke up this morning, right, it was a really deep detailed speech last night. But let's be honest. I mean, even you and I who are MAGA supporters and we get it, like we this is what we do, we follow politics, at least me for now. How much of the speech policy wise do you really remember? I'm not trying to knock anybody, I'll take it the wrong way. All right, it was a hundred minutes long, but you do remember that. You will fully understand politics when you embrace that and tattoo it on your brain. Right direction, wrong direction. Donald Trump, President Trump
Starting point is 00:14:12 highlighted this last night as well. This is important because once you start talking about big global pictures of leadership, you want to make sure that American citizens who are responding to the president feel like they're responding to his policies by saying, yes, I think we are headed in this direction rather than the wrong one that way. This was smart for him to highlight this. Check this out. V15. Now for the first time in modern history, more Americans believe that our country is
Starting point is 00:14:42 headed in the right direction than the wrong direction. In fact, it's an astonishing record,'s single largest one month gain ever recorded. A 41 point jump. Again we got to go there again. What's the sound bite there? No, wait before I even get to that, I love how Donald Trump, President Trump, puts an accent on ever, most ever,
Starting point is 00:15:33 just to kind of let it stew a little bit. He floats it out there and lets it kind of dwell in the ether, all that. And then what are his, what's his political opposition doing out there? They're booing as Donald Trump is talking about how the American people feel of a renewed sense of optimism.
Starting point is 00:15:52 How do you think that sounds and looks? The answer is pretty horrendous. Is that really the snapshot and sound bite you want? I don't think they've thought this through. This is why I'm always encouraging you to not get emotional about politics, passionate but not emotional. There's a difference.
Starting point is 00:16:11 All right, I may be picking nits, but passionate means it bleeds to you, it matters to you. Emotional means, for me at least, it means you let your emotions overtake reason. That's what happened last night. The Democrats had a moment tactically to sit back, look like they were cooperating on issues where there's some supposed agreement. They didn't do it. They didn't do it. They chose to boo and hiss. They had cancer patients. They're sitting on their hands. Just I tell you in the most
Starting point is 00:16:42 objective manner possible. The most ever. Ever. The most ever. Most objective ever manner possible. It was a total disaster for them politically. They just did not embrace snapshots and soundbites. And don't ever repeat the mistake with them.
Starting point is 00:17:04 We're not going to win every political race ever ever. Sometimes it's just best to sit back and do nothing. They didn't do it last night. Folks, one of the things about president Trump that I find, um, it, he's not afraid to inject humor, humor, Elizabeth Warren, that was You remember Elizabeth Warren last night? That was a classic. But last night, there was an opportunity
Starting point is 00:17:29 to highlight an ongoing problem. Inefficiencies in our social security system that have led to excess payouts, people who may be dead getting money, people who are older getting social security, they are a powerful, powerful set of American citizens. They vote, they've worked their whole lives, they built this country, and listen, they're reliant on this product called Social Security.
Starting point is 00:17:51 No matter how badly it's been mismanaged, we can't just pull the rug out from other them because they already, they paid into this program and feel justifiably so like, hey, I want to get my money out. I don't blame them. You'd feel the same way. So Donald Trump took an opportunity last night to use a little bit of sarcasm and humor to highlight an ongoing problem there. And sometimes, these guys here know where I'm going with this, because we had this conversation
Starting point is 00:18:17 with him, sometimes humor and sarcasm, which we are quite fond of here, can be some of your best weapons. Alinsky said it too, ridicule your most potent weapon. Here's funny Trump last night, check this out. According to the social security databases are age over 160 years old. We have a healthier country than I thought, Bobby. Again, I don't think that was in the prompter. I'm reasonably confident it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:18:52 It was just an opportunity to kind of break up what's a very serious moment with a bit of sarcasm and humor and use it as a potent ridicule weapon like Alinsky recommended. It was a liberal activist, by the way, because there's no comeback to it. He's of course talking to HHS Secretary Kennedy. Nobody does it like him, nobody. People have been as good, nobody better.
Starting point is 00:19:20 He is really, really good at this. And he really made fools out of his opposition last night. And a lot, you know, serious moments, lighthearted moments. You want to take people on an emotional roller coaster. It makes them feel alive like they're part of something. I want to contrast that coming up next. And but hat tip, Mays Moore in advance, great account, M-A-Z-E-M-O-O-R-E on x-gray videos.
Starting point is 00:19:44 He had the low lights of one of our Joe Biden's State of the Union addresses. advanced great account, M-A-Z-E-M-O-O-R-E on x-ray videos. He had the lowlights of one of our Joe Biden's State of the Union addresses. And I want you to see the contrast between the two because contrasts matter too. Diamonds look nicer on a very specific background, even though it's the same diamond. You'll see what I mean coming up next.

Starting point is 00:23:19 we can create millions of jobs. With regard to Russia, I know I concern some of you, but I made very clear to Putin, he understands. I guess, I guess not. I guess he didn't understand. Snapshots, soundbites, what's the snapshot there? He's talking with mask wearing people in the background
Starting point is 00:23:40 who say Americans realize those things are useless. It is a show device. It is a prophylactic mechanism that is engages in no prophylaxis whatsoever. What are you there's a thank you guys. There's your there's your snapshot right there. There's your snapshot. Compare that with President Trump and JD. Given Al Green, the old get out of here, Heave Ho as he's interrupting the jury, looking like Scrooge McDuck. Ah!
Starting point is 00:24:14 Oh man, can't get any better. I'm telling you. Look at that. Now, look at that. There you go. What a contrast. Look at those two pictures. This stuff matters in politics. If you don't understand it, please do What a contrast. Look at those two pictures. This stuff matters in politics.
Starting point is 00:24:27 If you don't understand it, please do me a favor. Don't get into politics. It's okay. You may have a different skill set. Maybe you're a good football coach, but if you don't understand how these images, this imagery matters, you're in the wrong space. Take your seat, sir. Look at this.
Starting point is 00:24:41 What a disaster. And they complained about Joe Wilson with the you live thing. Maybe get this Al Green screaming. Now, listen, anybody can say, hey, the speech was great. I mean, obviously while I'm still in my political opinion role, I have a strong opinion about it. I do, however, try to be objective. I mean, you know, serious time. Okay. It doesn't do me any good as a supporter of this movement we have built over the years to lie to you
Starting point is 00:25:07 If it was a garbage speech, I'm obligated to tell you I mean I wouldn't call it garbage I'd be nice about it, but I would still tell you and we need to work on that Last night was spectacular. It really was It was also and I think objectively bad Horrendously bad night for his opposition that just decided to embarrass themselves. I don't know why. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:25:30 They're usually smarter than this. But those are opinions. Back it up. Okay, here it is. Here's CNN, so I can't be accused by Stewart or anyone else who doesn't like us in the media. And we have a lot of people who don't like us as I'm finding out.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Here is CNN discussing a poll where 69% of Americans had a positive reaction to the speech. 69% of Americans. You can't get near 70% of Americans to agree on anything. That's how good of a speech this was. Check this out. What was your reaction to Trump's speech? 44% of speech watchers in our instant poll tonight say they had a very positive reaction to Trump's speech. 25% somewhat positive, 31% negative. Now I get it. Where am I going with this? There are some people out there who are like, Dan, you said 69% of positive reaction. Yes.
Starting point is 00:26:23 That recalls. Michael was a math major. Play the clip again on rewind. You'll see what I mean. Some people are confused. Not you. Not you. I promise you there are people confused going I don't get it. I know you don't. I'm sorry. I can't help you. Michael help him out. Sometimes we text Michael. Well, my daughter has a math problem they can't figure. Michael's like boom, boom, right away. He never forgot his math.
Starting point is 00:26:46 That's pretty good. Here, you want to put that, put the screen up. What was your reaction to Trump's speech? Let's see if, can we figure this out if you're a Bonjino hater? Michael gets it, he'll help you. Text him, here's his number. You imagine that?
Starting point is 00:27:03 Your phone would totally blow up. That'd be the, oh man, the RNC,. You imagine that? Your phone would totally blow up. That'd be the, oh man, the RNC, man, remember that? Oh my gosh, I had to change my data. I couldn't take it. I couldn't take it. I'm sorry. It was just a wet of meltdown after that. All right, this is again,
Starting point is 00:27:18 one of the highlights of the night. And folks, this is where President Trump, I believe is different, is a different brand of Republican politics. Let's be honest. Outside of Reagan, there hasn't been really a national Republican or international Republican figure who has really got his finger on the pulse of how people really worked in Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:27:41 And I think it's due to his business experience where he's had to deal with everyone in New York from mob people trying to squeeze his construction sites to unions, to city officials, for labor contracts. He just has to know how people are feeling. This was a really amazing moment, obviously special to me having been a former Secret Service agent myself.
Starting point is 00:28:04 It was a very nice thing to do. I texted Director Curran this morning from the Secret Service and I said, hey man, really great job with the young man. Here is Donald Trump calling out a 13-year-old battling brain cancer. They made him an honorary Secret Service agent. This was really nice and definitely worth checking out.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Tonight, DJ, we're going to do you the biggest honor of them all. I am asking our new Secret Service Director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service. Good for you, Sean, President Trump. That was a very nice gesture. And by the way, total snapshot there. Total snapshot. That commission book, that thing you see like in the x-files
Starting point is 00:29:05 fba that that's it that looks like a real commission book i have one i was looking around for mine but since i didn't even say it sorry i don't mean to get off track this is the last day in the studio so there's almost nothing here except for the you know like gizmos people send a couple on the desk and that's really it. I was gonna show you my commission book. That looks like a real commission book. That's pretty cool. So good job, Director Curran.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Hey man, this stuff matters. You know, it's the government, it's serious stuff. But this doesn't, it takes but a moment to make government employees we pay for, whether it's Director Curran, the Secret Service, of the FBI. We don't have to be stiff There's nothing wrong with being relatable. There's nothing wrong with that at all We're there to serve you. It's public service public service We work for you not the other way around
Starting point is 00:30:00 This government operates by consent of the governed. We work for you. And there's nothing wrong with showing a human side to even a United States government enterprise like the Secret Service or us. Nice job. Folks, I told you, the media response, the media meltdown to the one, the first term, and now the early days of the second term
Starting point is 00:30:24 and these early days of the second Donald Trump victory have been borderline hysterical. But I'm gonna tell you some, and again, I say this, putting on serious Dan Bongino hat here. The response to this 13 year old young man with cancer by Nicole Wallace last night at MSNBC is one of the most disgraceful things I've ever seen in media. I'm going to tell you something.
Starting point is 00:30:49 I don't speak for Fox. I never did, even when I worked there. But this is the kind of thing where if you were on your Fox news show and did something like this, where you tried to tie a 13 year old with brain cancer to January 6th and what happened at the Capitol, I'll tell you right now, there's no doubt you're getting a phone call and they'd be like, really, really?
Starting point is 00:31:15 I'll show you what I mean. I'm gonna take a break quick here and I'll get back to it. And I think you'll agree, this is one of the worst moments I've seen in the anti-Trump losing their minds media in a really long time. Brickhouse, you one of these up and down yo-yo dieters, you lose weight, gain weight,
Starting point is 00:31:32 you wind up with a condition, you wind up being really skinny, but simultaneously holding a lot of body fat at the same time, you look terrible, and it's really, really unhealthy, it's dangerous. Can increase your risk of a heart attack, stroke, type two diabetes, and health problems. Break free of the yo-yo diet problem.
Starting point is 00:31:49 It's a real issue. That's one of the reasons as a product I use. I lost 30 pounds or so. I was like 238, around 200 now. But at the time I was on lean, I lost this 30 pounds. I lost it. It's slow and deliberately and preserves a lot of my muscle tissue.
Starting point is 00:32:06 I love the product. Lean is a supplement. It's not an injection. You don't need a prescription. The science behind lean is amazing. It's study natural ingredients, target weight loss, in three powerful ways. Lean helps maintain healthy blood sugar.
Starting point is 00:32:20 It helps control appetite and cravings. And it helps burn fat by converting it into energy. So if you're tired of losing weight and gaining it back, you want to lose meaningful weight at the healthy pace I did, and obviously keep it off. Look, you've seen me now for a year. Lean was created for you. Let's get you started with 20% off when you enter Dan20 at BrickHouseNutrition.com slash Dan.

This is one of the worst moments I have ever seen in the media in response to Donald Trump recognizing a 13-year-old with brain cancer. This is an analogy you never make. Check this out.
Starting point is 00:34:27 And I hope he lives the life he wants to live. He wants to be a cop. He knows what he wants to do. And maybe when you have childhood cancer that crystallizes for you. And I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer. But I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump supporters. And if he does, I hope he isn has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump supporters.
Starting point is 00:34:45 And if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide. And I hope he isn't one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then lived to see Donald Trump pardon those people. Folks, do you understand the level of derangement you have to have in the hatred for Donald Trump? the level of derangement you have to have and the hatred for Donald Trump, excuse me, to take from a story of a 13-year-old with brain cancer having his moment as an honorary Secret Service agent, he's not going out there protecting the president.
Starting point is 00:35:16 They didn't issue him a firearm last night. It was obviously meant to be a lighthearted moment to celebrate this young man and his battle with this potentially and sometimes likely terminal disease. He's 13. And you took out of that, what do I, let me see. You're on the show, you're like, what do my viewers at MSNBC want to hear tonight?
Starting point is 00:35:40 I've got an idea. You ever hear Jesse Waters joke on the five where he says permission to make an analogy? They do that because the running joke is analogies can go wrong really quickly. They can. And you got to kind of be careful on the air. You don't make light of something. So that's kind of where that comes from. Give you a little inside baseball. Nicole should have asked the same question permission to make an analogy here to January six and some of you, what do you, I think even the crazies over there would have been like
Starting point is 00:36:05 that's I I could tell you for sure. Gee and Michael be like they'd be behind the scenes like Yeah, he would be like did you sleep well last night like it how you're right do you need an eye cream we're gonna sleep well last night. Like, hey, how are your eyes? Do you need an eye cream? We're going to get, Guy would stop the, he may even cut out of the show. There are things you just don't do. This is a young man at 13 who's been through a tragedy in his life.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Your viewers, look at this. There's the picture. I mean, you got director current and just enjoy it. You think that how sorry guys, I'm just I can't imagine watching this program at MSNBC and thinking you know I really hope somebody makes a January 6th analogy. Like what? Oh my gosh. They have this title.
Starting point is 00:37:00 You just don't hate the media enough. I guess not in this case. I can't imagine a worse moment. I don't hate the media enough. I guess not in this case. I can't imagine a worst moment. I don't care about Nicole Wallace. I don't do media boycotts. It's a waste of everybody's time. Just telling you, if someone at NBC doesn't call her up and be like, you really need to apologize, I would be astonished. It's just a terrible moment. Here's another awful moment last night. Democrats, of course, refusing to shake hands with President Trump's cabinet members,
Starting point is 00:37:28 but members of the cabinet, show some respect. It's not hard. I don't get this. Oh, damn, what would you know about that? Gee, I don't know. I was an agent for Barack Obama. You know, when you leave the detail, I don't know if you know this,
Starting point is 00:37:39 when you leave the president's detail, you have the opportunity to take Oval Office photos with your family. I took them. Barack Obama's the president of the United States. I have the photos. They're not hanging all over my house, but I have them. I didn't say, no I'm not taking the pictures. You just shake their hands. What's the big deal? No. He's like, here let me shock everyone. Breaking news. Everybody is in a work environment out there. If your workplace has more than two people like you and your wife, right? Which is a lot of small businesses, mid-size and certainly large businesses.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Everybody goes to work with someone they don't like. It's a good point. I mean, Guy and Justin can't stand each other. It's like a UFC match in here the other day. Michael had to break it up. It was like a rear naked choke going on. Guy had the leg hooks in. I was like, guys, this is like an HR problem.
Starting point is 00:38:25 We can't have this in the workplace. There's not even a mat on the floor. But he does it anyway. They give each other a high five and get the show done. Apparently not the Democrats. Watch this. Check this out. Look at what's happening.
Starting point is 00:38:38 The Democrats are not even acknowledging the cabinet right now. I just don't remember that being standard. At least they would get up and shake their hands. Just the visual here that they're not shaking their This is not a pathway for it to bipartisanship. How bad does it have to be where CNN's like, yeah, not really sure. This is a winner. You just shake their hands. This isn't complicated. Folks in the chat are like, did Guy really? No, no, okay, they're united. It's actually, they're united against me
Starting point is 00:39:10 in the Star Wars front with the ongoing drama over Rogue One. They're the best of friends, they love each other. And you know, it's, whenever you mention Rogue One, it's like a unity moment where they both fire bombs against me. I mean, it's really ruthless, too. You would think this company was called, like, you know, Guy and Justin Ink. They don't even care.
Starting point is 00:39:33 Like, yeah, I signed the checks, whatever. Doesn't matter, doesn't matter. No respect. Like Rodney Dangerfield. No respect. They don't. I gotta have fun, guys. I gotta have fun.
Starting point is 00:39:43 I gotta put my serious Get serious things to do Not leaving you without a smile. I was just telling a V to that this morning I said man, we're gonna laugh a little bit before this wraps up Hey, don't let me wait. I know I got the joy Bayhart clip. Do you see the joy Bayhart clip? What joy Bayhart clip? It's stand by This is the last day in the studio. The last day. We had some good moments here.
Starting point is 00:40:11 You know, we had some good moments, but good moments at bad times. I mean, Guy, you and Michael remember when President Trump was shot in the head, I'm calling him on the phone like, guys, we gotta, like, he was like, what do you wanna do? Like, I think we should just go live.
Starting point is 00:40:28 And you know, we didn't know too much other than he was obviously shot in the head. But we came in, we knocked out a show, and then when President Biden said he was leaving the race, I'm like, we gotta do it again. And so many shows here, you know, the coverage after election day. So if everybody, you got the wave an emoji guy,
Starting point is 00:40:46 throw one in the chat. And I know it's just a place, it's whatever, but it's not that, it's that we had the memories and the memories are gonna be tied to this place. It's just four walls and a floor. But the emotions around it are tough. This is the last podcast we will ever do from here. Tomorrow's show, you will see see will be from the new studio.
Starting point is 00:41:07 And we're going to give it. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, man. You guys going to miss this place, too? I'm going to show you something. This is this. This thing here. It's just a TV, man. There's a can you do the two shot there? Yeah, look, there you Oscar winners and nominees. Anyone want to watch a TV show in the back?
Starting point is 00:41:25 That's all this is. The new studio, we got New York City bricks in the background. You'll see them later. A real iron pilings, bookcases, fancy lighting, all this other stuff, multiple sets. Here is just basically a converted apartment. I'm going to miss this place. So sorry, guys.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Didn't mean to divert off the topic. And yeah, look, zoom out. Look, gizmos, this is Guy's little, Lego guys here, the Rhino. Was that Jen Psaki? We got the clown. We got, this is an annual cards people have given me, including Guy.
Starting point is 00:42:02 This is Justin, People's Elbow, Guy, Karate Man, Bucky Dent, my favorite baseball player, someone gave me the Bucky Dent card. No, I'm gonna miss this place. Some lovely young lady gave me this Spongino thing. I have, I try to keep everything, folks. Once in a while it gets lost in transit, but oh, here's one more too. I was doing a book signing in Oklahoma.
Starting point is 00:42:23 The Tulsa Police Department Special Ops Team, that's a pretty to I was doing a book signing in Oklahoma the Tulsa Police Department special ops team That's a pretty badass patch right there And then had to Danny Boyle Connor house of pain gave me a little house of pain thing signed my Last show from here Goodbye studio old studio welcome in the new Emotional maybe cry a little bit. Just kidding.
Starting point is 00:42:49 We'll miss you though. The show tomorrow. So you're gonna tune into tomorrow's show, see the new studio for the first time. The guys, by the way, have been busting their ass. I wanna thank them. But it is, when I say a new studio, I mean it's a whole new setup.
Starting point is 00:43:00 Everything, the electronics, everything. So we're kind of flying by the seat of our pants a little bit tomorrow. So if there are some snafus in tomorrow's show, I hope you guys are cool with it, all right? Because we're doing this no matter what. Okay, back to the show, sorry about that. The view has always been as,
Starting point is 00:43:18 I'm going to miss this by the way, because once I put my nonpartisan government service hat on, my opinions are just just gonna stay inside. I've got a job to do. Raise my right hand. I plan on doing it in a nonpartisan manner, obviously, or I wouldn't accept the job. So I'm gonna miss the view
Starting point is 00:43:34 because it is a source of ongoing content for the show in humor. Here is Joy Behar, again, with the ridiculous argument that Donald Trump's win was not some kind of a landslide. It was in this hyper-partisan environment. And she tries to bait Stephen A. Smith into it. Stephen A. Smith, who acknowledges he's not even a Trump supporter,
Starting point is 00:43:52 kind of looks like, really? Did you follow what just happened about two months ago? A little less than two months ago? Check this out. And he's been going around with his cronies touting his so-called landslide and blowout win. But he won the popular vote by 1.5%, one of the smallest ever, and he won the general election by less than 50%. So what kind of mandate is this really?
Starting point is 00:44:13 Well, it is a mandate, and I'm going to explain why. And I don't mind the question, but let me be very clear. I'm no supporter of Trump. I'm a supporter of truth and the facts. And here's the facts. The man won every swing state. He increased in terms of his vote, voter turnout and his favor from the standpoint of blacks, Latinos, and young voters. He increased his numbers in that regard from 2020.
Starting point is 00:44:35 89% of the counties shifted to the right. That's a mandate. We can sit up there and play around all we want to. In 2020, they didn't, Trump didn't win the popular vote He didn't win the electoral college vote a matter of fact the Republicans had a wonder the popular vote if I remember coming here 2004 but they did this year so 20 years after they last won a popular vote They won the popular vote They won the electoral college vote the man won every swing state and on top
Starting point is 00:45:06 of that, 89% of the counties shifted gifts. I don't understand how people can look at that and say, there's no mandate. There's a mandate. I want to pile a quick tactical point onto Stephen A. Smith's commentary there to Joy Behar, who's just sitting there speechless as Stephen A. just rattles off a series of accurate statistics, by the way. Folks, you have to understand all of this was done, the Donald Trump resounding victory,
Starting point is 00:45:28 swing states, a movement of minority voters and elsewhere, and other things as well, which he just mentioned. This was all done in a political, use the buzzword, the ecosystem, whatever, where the entertainment community, largely the sports community, the entertainment community, largely the sports community, the music community, the acting community, the academic community, the corporate environment,
Starting point is 00:45:52 was certainly the media environment, which is obvious from that last segment, was all tilted to the Democrat side. Let me hear an analogy for you. Permission granted, thank you. It's like going into a boxing match where you have 20 ounce gloves on, your opponent has chain mail, has head gear,
Starting point is 00:46:14 a chainsaw and a blow torch, and you win the match, and you win it by decision. You get where I'm going with this? The context matters. People might say, well that wasn't an impressive victory, he only won by a split decision. Yeah, when you factor in the opponent had a blowtorch, body armor on, and a chainsaw while you had 20 ounce gloves and a hand tied behind your back, it's
Starting point is 00:46:40 pretty darn impressive. That's pretty good That that's what's going on here. There Donald Trump had The mechanisms of government law enforcement weaponized against them. They're no question about that none Media I just went through the whole list the entertainment could be all of them calling them all kinds of vicious horrible names And he still wins every single swing state and the popular vote. I think that that's worthy of an impressive landslide mandate title. Donald Trump did something last night. President Trump did something very impressive
Starting point is 00:47:17 last night too. Folks, when you're in a debate with someone, what do they call this? It doesn't matter. But there's this technique people have in a debate. And I'll drop this on you and put it in your little toolkit. When you're debating someone on any issue, one of the most effective things you can do
Starting point is 00:47:36 is say I'm debating Guy about Rogue One, right? Guy loves Rogue One. Me, I'm getting there, but I'm not sold yet. What you say to people is, let me make the case that Rogue One is not the best Star Wars movie, but here's what Guy is gonna say. It is one of the most effective debating tools. Why?
Starting point is 00:47:52 Anybody know in the chat? Because when Guy says it, you look smarter, not him, even if the point he makes is genius. Why do you look smarter? Because you look like you're able to predict the future. You do. You look like, my gosh, you're in Guy's head.
Starting point is 00:48:12 But keep in mind, you're not really, let me relate it back to politics. You always know what a Democrat's going to say about tax cuts, right? No matter the tax cut, they probably hate it, correct? So you don't have to be the Stygian witches or, you know, Karnak from the Johnny Carson show to say, my opponent here is going to say,
Starting point is 00:48:31 he hates these tax cuts, and here's why the rich should pay their fair share that you saw Biden say before in that State of the Union thing. Why do you know that? Because they always say that. It doesn't take a genius or a super genius, but when you say it to an audience,
Starting point is 00:48:45 you look more impressive. Here's Donald Trump last night, beautifully employing this debating trick right there when he says, no matter what I say tonight, the Democrats will not get up and applaud. And then in fact, they didn't. And he looks very pressured for doing it. Check this out. And once again, I look at the Democrats in front of me, and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud. Nothing I can do.
Starting point is 00:49:18 I could find a cure to the most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out entire nations or announce the answers to the greatest economy in history or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded. And these people sitting right here will not clap, will not stand, and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements. They won't do it, no matter what. not stand and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements. They won't do it no matter what.
Starting point is 00:49:46 Five, five times I've been up here. It's very sad and it just shouldn't be this way. You see that. Listen, man, it's a free country. I am an avid firm, passionate supporter of the first amendment. Speak out. You don't like Donald Trump, say what you gotta say. But you can't, everybody who thinks this guy
Starting point is 00:50:11 is some kind of unhinged, whatever, you're totally missing the forest for the trees. He does these things like this because he has a natural kind of instinct for this political back and forth. That is people do that in debates all the time. And then what happens? The camera pans over and he's absolutely right.
Starting point is 00:50:33 No one's responding. No one's clapping for even the good stuff. Hey, America's back. Democrats are sitting on their hands. Employ that in your debates and you'll see it is an unbelievably effective tool to disarm what your opponent's gonna say before they even say it. I want to bring this up again because I don't want to miss it. I only have a let me see what a few shows left we got next week March 14th be the last
Starting point is 00:51:00 podcast. After that Vince Col Colonese will be taking over. I promise you're gonna love him. He will be at 10 a.m., 10 a.m. Eastern time. And it's going to be an interview-based show. He has the best guests. He has tremendous access to people. He has an unbelievable show. He'll also be taking over on radio as well.
Starting point is 00:51:21 There was a question from the audience. Is Vince gonna be streaming the radio to Rumble? I'll get you answers for all this stuff, I promise. As you can imagine, given this opportunity presented by President Trump, A.G. Bondi and Director Patel, I didn't have a lot of time. So we're still working through this with you.
Starting point is 00:51:41 I'm not gonna lie to you. This show was authentic for a reason. When I don't have an answer, I'm not sure yet. I will get that for you. But I can tell you this, the Haley Show, rumble.com slash Haley, H-A-Y-E-L-E-Y-L is happening. Evita's show has already been going rumble.com slash Evita.

All you have to do is watch. Bongino Army, thank you again. I want you to know my wife and my daughter and I are trying to read as many emails as we can.
Starting point is 00:52:15 I got one last night from a 70 year old grandmother who loves the show and told me how she, you know, was not big on watching stuff on the internet before we started and now is hooked. I got big on watching stuff on the internet before we started and now is hooked, I got your message and it means the world to me. I wasn't big on watching stuff on the internet either and now look what happened. Thank you guys so much. I'll be doing the radio show here in just a few minutes on Rumble if you want to tune in and I will be back here from the news studio tomorrow at 11 a.m.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed. You should just watch in case it's a total train wreck. Just watch. It'll be fun. We can watch it while lights fall down. It'll be crazy. It won't.
Starting point is 00:53:00 It won't. He's like, well, there'll be a public execution. No, no, no, no, it's OK. I rushed it. I had to rush it. I couldn't help it. All right. Enough for me. See you in the radio show a little bit back here tomorrow.
