I got pictures, I got video, I got behind the scenes video, I got stories. So let me just start quick. I was off on Friday, we put together an election wrap up special.
Starting point is 00:02:42 My apologies, I should have told you in advance, but so many things happen so quick. Sometimes the kid just has to bounce, and like a bell, whoosh, and I just had to bounce, okay? So we still put together a show, my team, a lot of people watched it, we appreciate it. So Friday I wound up, this is a little bit more personal, but I had to take a break because there was so much going on.
Starting point is 00:03:08 I was like drinking from a firehouse. So I went to the Stars and Strings concert. It was a benefit for Folds of Honor. It's a great charity. It was down in the hard rock. And we had a great time, my wife and I. So I might spend too much time on that, but just one quick thing.
Starting point is 00:03:22 I was playing some blackjack and I'm even the whole night. I'm not winning anything. And I'm playing there and Paula says to me Hey, take that $500 chip there, which I never bet 500. I'm not like, you know some big gambler They're 50 bucks. Maybe you know, sometimes the last pair hand. I just like having fun, you know So I put down to 500 she's like you're gonna hit a blackjack on this thing. I'm like no way What comes out a freaking queen and an ace. Yeah, baby. That was my winning show. I'm like, we're out. Bye. I'm done. So I did pretty good at Blackjack. The concert was amazing. Bailey Zimmerman, Riley
Starting point is 00:03:56 Green, Megan Maroney was there. Parker McCollum. And I got to tell you, I'm not too hip to like the music scene all the time. I have my specific artists, Jordan Davis, and he's amazing. These guys just tore it up. So that's when the real action happens. So Friday, I find out, you know, we're going to we're going up to the UFC, up at MSG, Madison Square Garden. A friend of mine calls and says, we got to go up.
Starting point is 00:04:23 So we go up and we're hanging. I wanna just quickly thank Dana White, president of UFC for always taking good care of me and Paula. Put us right up there in the front. Your guy, he's the man. I love Dana. He could not have been kinder. Thank you to him.
Starting point is 00:04:40 So we're sitting there and we're kinda hanging out and Dana's got a little, like, I don't know, VIP room, green room. And we're hanging out in there. And Chris from the CEO rumble and I were chatting with a few people. And all of a sudden, like this crew of people pile in. And folks, it's the craziest thing ever. It's like, you know, put up these pictures first, I just want to show you. These are like people I never get out of my house. First is you ever see you know, this guy, Triple H, Paul Levesque amazing. I used I watched the WWE still watch the A&E specials. You ever see this
Starting point is 00:05:14 guy? Jelly Roll couldn't have been nicer. Jelly couldn't have been I mean, what a great guy. I was like, hey, and you ever see this guy? Yeah, both of them. That's Kid Rock and then Elon. And then who's that woman over there? That's the lovely Paula. She was, and Elon couldn't have been nicer by the way. She was like, Elon, can you take a picture? She was like, yeah, sure, come on over.
Starting point is 00:05:31 I talked to him for just a couple of minutes. I told him, by the way, I told him thank you for helping to save free speech. Wasn't a big long conversation. I don't wanna be dramatic. Maybe a minute or two, but super nice guy. That was Paula with Aidan Ross and his dad, great guys. And I think that's the guy who hosts
Starting point is 00:05:44 the Bar School Show in the back. But Aiden's a super popular live streamer. This is Chris from Rumble. Hold this picture up a second. Chris is going into the walkout, going down to do the walkout, and he gets stuck in the elevator with Trump, Elon, Dana White, and then that's Sean
Starting point is 00:06:00 from the Secret Service who got inadvertently caught up in the shot. So Chris, they asked him to take a selfie and he did. And this thing went viral right away. That's Chris from Rumble. So he's a trip. And then I was sitting down in the front right there and right in front of me was Triple H and Eric came over
Starting point is 00:06:15 and said, let's take a picture. So there's another good one. Me, Triple H and Eric. There's Aiden, me and Chris, me winking like, oh my gosh, look at that. And then this was Don Jr said, this was all of us in the section. It's me, Chris, Don, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H.
Starting point is 00:06:30 There's me and Trump, me scanning the crowd, going all like, ninja style, secret service. See Trump giving the iconic thumbs up, his favorite picture. Met RFK by the way, couldn't have been nicer. Ran into him in the green room, super nice guy. We spoke a little bit about some stuff. Here's some video from Paula's camera. So let me just tell you before you play it. Let me just explain this to you. So I'm in this VIP room right with them and they're
Starting point is 00:06:52 getting ready for the walkout and you know, and to walk out with Trump and I don't typically do to walk out because you I don't I just go and take my seat. You know, it's not my thing. I mean, I don't and as I'm walking out Dana says Bungie know and I said what's up in front of this whole crew? It's like Tulsi RFK Don Don jr. Don DJT and he goes Bungie know he goes you come do this walkout with us He goes you help too. I said hell. Yeah, I'm not gonna say no to that shit. So I get in the elevator We're going to do the walkout Paula grabs my hand. She looks at me She's like, can you believe this shit? I'm getting ready to no to that shit. So I get in the elevator, we're going to do the walkout. Paula grabs my hand, she looks at me, she's like, can you believe this shit?
Starting point is 00:07:27 I'm getting ready to walk out to this UFC crowd with Trump. This is Paula's camera. It got cut off about five seconds in. But this was freaking crazy, folks. I'm telling you, you have no idea how bananas this thing was. This is how, it's, the videos online do it no justice. I have never in my life heard a roar like this. This was the end of it when because we were like four or five people behind Trump.
Starting point is 00:07:53 It was I was like behind Elon and Kid Rock. And this is and we were kind of chatting the president and I throughout the night a little bit. Some of you saw it on video and on camera. So there we are right there looking around, checking things out, checking out the screen. Yeah, it was folks, it was nuts. Listen, you can just see the crowd was there's Paula right there, right next to me. And that's I think that's was that Lorenzo Furtita, the guy who was one of the original USC guys to RFK right over there. Mike Johnson. Mike Johnson took a picture and right over the shoulder,
Starting point is 00:08:26 I kind of inadvertently photo bombed. Me and Trump were talking about something. So me and the president were talking about something. Paula peeking in there right in the background, of course, causing trouble. Folks, it was an amazing event. I wanna show you this too. The best part of the night, at the end of the night,
Starting point is 00:08:40 Johnny Bone Jones, congratulations, he beats us, Steve Amiosik. He dominated them, the whole fight, folks. I was there, I saw it. But this happened at the end of the night, Johnny Bone Jones, congratulations. He beats us, Steve Amiosic. He dominated him the whole fight, folks. I was there. I saw it. But this happened at the end of the night. Paul and I were seriously like maybe eight, 10 feet away. And I didn't think John Jones is going to do this, man. He's what a nice guy. He gave a shout out to Jesus Christ, which is what really matters. And then he comes outside the ring with the belt. And then this happens with President Trump. And man, it's like,
Starting point is 00:09:05 folks, keep in mind, it's about two in the morning when this is happening. And this place, it might as well have been eight o'clock at night. There's Johnny Bones Jones giving him the belt. Trump takes it. This movement, this moment was so special, man. I can't even tell you. And I'm, oh yeah, yeah, I know, right? There you go. He said it right. There you go. Trump, Nazi, white, he's like the worst Nazi white supremacist ever. This is the one thing he's failed that terribly. We're seriously like right over his right shoulder. We could hear John Jones.
Starting point is 00:09:37 And man, it was just an incredible, incredible event. So I know a lot of you are interested in a lot of the behind the scenes about who's what. I'm just here again to repeat none of this stuff is my decision okay about anything. You guys know what I'm talking about and there's a lot to think about if that decision were to happen and you guys will be the first to know okay because I love you and you guys matter and so just hang with me, you know? CNN, of course, had a meltdown about the walkout and the whole event. Folks, the place went nuts. We were in the middle of the heart of Manhattan,
Starting point is 00:10:13 liberal Manhattan, and I'm telling you, it was the loudest thing I've ever heard. I promise you those videos do it no justice. If you saw it live, Joe Rogan, I think, Cormier were doing the announcement. They were like, you can't even, you could barely hear yourself talk. People were screaming, USA.
Starting point is 00:10:27 It was nuts. Trump was doing the dance at the end, you know, to Trump the robot. CNN absolutely melted down because they just can't take it that this guy has a popular mandate now in the support of the people. So this is what happened on CNN,
Starting point is 00:10:41 comparing it to some like Roman gladiator event. Just stupidity, check this out. He's flood the zone with these picks and forced Republicans to choose. And I think it's interesting to me that he brought Tulsi Gabbard and R.F.K. Junior to the UFC event last night. He is, frankly, giving, I think, supporter-based permission structure.
Starting point is 00:10:58 And he's made these folks stars over the course of this campaign. I mean, in some ways, it's easy to view this, I think, through a different lens. Like, this is also just a person who won following through on campaign promises. He promised retribution. He promised vengeance.
Starting point is 00:11:12 And he promised these kind of figures having prominent places in this administration. And he's delivering it. And for a lot of those supporters, that is the point of the Trump vote. Folks, this is just, you know, you guys remember Cenk from the Young Turks. He did that debate with us. He's a left wing guy.
Starting point is 00:11:32 I mean, there's no doubt about it. But Cenk has been, I actually followed him on X because he's been putting out from the left some interesting perspectives and takes. And I think it's important. And I and you guys probably vibe with me on this that we don't ignore that we're not going to agree with it we're not lefties okay we're going to fight against a lot of what they want collectivism and socialism but it's important to understand them and I think Jenk and others are finally waking up that they missed something because Jenk put this thing out saying shit man the mainstream media we're like dead now
Starting point is 00:12:04 like we don't even look at this to show folks were 11 minutes in, we got 140,000 people, we have a bigger audience right now than the entire like CNN demo. I mean, that's nuts. Think about it. They're on on basically every cable news, uh, affiliated home in the country. You're talking about tens of millions of homes and little damn Bonjino from the back of this tiny studio with his three guys has a bigger audience right now demo wise than they do. We're winning, they're losing. And that's why you see again this meltdown these figures
Starting point is 00:12:35 are all about vengeance. I spoke to Tulsi for a good five minutes in the green room. The idea of vengeance never came up. The idea of accountability did, but those are not the same things. Those are not the same things. Vengeance. They said that CNN is obsessed. They're the only ones obsessed with vengeance. Folks, I'm getting a little worried because the left is as predicted. I told you they were going to get their sea legs.
Starting point is 00:12:58 They were wobbly, you know, using the UFC analogy. They took a few bad shots. Their knees were wobbly. But eventually, just like happened in the Chandler-Ovier fight, you know, when Chandler was hitting him, Ovier got his head together. The left, it was only going to take him a little bit. I warned you, don't get too excited about the cannibalism. Like eventually the money and the donors are going to figure out how to try to get this thing back. Shenanigans are everywhere and I want you to pay close attention to a couple of stories because we're out on Friday.
Starting point is 00:13:31 The Senate Democrats are now freaking out that the Republican majority that's coming in are going to do exactly what the Senate Democrats pledged to do to us. Washington Examiner, Schumer the Republicans, please don't do to us what we were going to do to you. I want to focus on one thing here, cause it's critical. The Democrats were gonna destroy the filibuster, the 60 vote threshold to get something passed in the Senate.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Sorry for the basic civics lesson, but there are liberals listening, some of them aren't that bright, okay. There's a hundred senators. Because of the filibuster, you effectively need, if you don't use reconciliation You which is most things you need 60 votes to pass folks. We don't have 60 It's not the case in the house where it's a simple. It's a majority
Starting point is 00:14:14 We have 53 coming in So we're going to have to surpass filibuster numbers to get a lot of big ticket items passed Well, what if we can't then it's going to go down in flames. The Democrats wanted to scrap that and make it a simple 51 vote to get something past majority. To the Republicans in the Senate, this may be controversial, but I'm going to throw this out there. I got to tell you, man, I know you don't like the idea dumping the filibuster, but the Democrats, if they take charge, are going to do it. They're going to do it. So I'm not telling you to do it. I'm just telling you,
Starting point is 00:14:52 you should be considering it because I'm telling you they're going to do it. And now you've got 53 and the house, you could do big things. They're going to do it. There are shenanigans afoot everywhere. You see this tweet, they're trying to steal the Pennsylvania Senate race and the North Carolina Supreme Court race and a bunch of other seats in California. Folks, the election's not over. Now it's work time. I told you we would take a week, weeks up, still celebrate. Great.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Everything's going good so far. But man, it's time to get our work boots back on. Even the Washington Post is now starting to point out that the Democrats are now illegally counting votes in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, trying to steal this Senate seat. Do I think it's going to happen? I don't. I don't think they're even with the attempted theft and the creation of new phantom votes and aren't legal. I still don't think they have the numbers. But even the Post is like, hey, Democrats thumb their nose at the rule of law in Pennsylvania. Elections need rules and they must be applied equally and consistently. How bad do you have
Starting point is 00:16:01 to f something up that the Washington Post is calling you out? I'm just saying folks, they are pushing full steam ahead in Bucks County and elsewhere to count actually illegal votes. You can see the race is tightening up. It's not going to happen. McCormick is going to be fine, I think. But we got to keep our eyes on this. They've done this before. Here's the Bucks County tweet. Bucks County, they're trying to flip it. Bucks County may flip to Harris and the Democrats. And by the way, this is a mention of the North Carolina Supreme Court race too. The Democrat is now after still counting votes, unbelievably, two freaking weeks,
Starting point is 00:16:43 the Democrats now up by I think 26 votes. They know a lot of ballot counting is taking place after the election. Listen, Republicans, when you get in charge here, this has to stop. This has to stop. It is election day. It's not election season. You've now got in some cases almost a month plus of early voting. We're now two weeks after the election.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Guy just said it right. We're still counting. Folks, it is never meant to be a two, three, four month election. It's election day. To the Republicans listening and the constituents out there and the Bongino Army, four more years we've got. We have got to clean this mess up. This should be the first piece of legislation passed by the Republicans
Starting point is 00:17:32 in the House, at least in federal elections they can control, that there will be no more counting of votes after Election Day. Early voting, it should be in and counted. Ballots should have to be in by election day. That's it. Unbelievable. North Carolina Supreme Court raised they're going to try to steal this thing. That's a dot Eric dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot Democrat mysteriously takes the lead. How are states still counting? Endless counting means endless Possibilities for cheating folks. It's got to stop This has to be initiative number one who in the chat agrees Having let him get the chance to interact with you guys, right? Do you think this should stop a collection night? That's it Yes, or no why yes, it should stop. No, we should count for three and four months
Starting point is 00:18:26 You got said you got a what do you call? You got a congressional races in California that? Unbelievably still haven't been called. It's freaking two weeks later Well, this is unanimous we may break the chat by the way Chris the CEO of rumble Is super impressed with the Bon Gino army. Here's the thing about the chat. Here's how you know our audience is real. You guys want to let me I'll let you in on a little secret. There are a lot of fakers out there in the live streaming world who put up a say they put up big numbers. Look at that chat. Look at that. Yes. Look at what we
Starting point is 00:19:02 What we have There are a lot of fakers in the live streaming world, did you know that they want to say oh look I have 90,000 streamers. You know what a lot of their streamers are their bots They're fake not all of them, but a lot of people do that You know how you could tell who the fakers are go to their chat because bots don't chat Well, you can have chat bots, but they don't answer questions. We ask a question, we like that chat on fire. We like that chat on fire. Because you people in the Bonjino Army are real. Go to their chat. There's nobody in there. I thought you got 100,000 people watching.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Now, why is there nobody in your chat? Because you don't. I don't like fakers. This is business for me, too I'm an equity holder in rumble. We want to make sure we know who the real players are Folks endless counting endless possibilities for cheating as I said, I'm gonna take a quick break. I want to come back. Uh, just quickly not to relitigate the beginning of show, but I was in a little green room area at the UFC and Elon came in and Elon got there weren't a lot of people in the in this little room there, maybe 50 to 100. He said you saw them jelly roll Triple H was there a lot of really like influential
Starting point is 00:20:16 kind of players in the business influencer type folks and stuff. So when Elon walked in, Paul went over and said hello and he was nice. But I just very briefly talked with him. I don't like name dropers. Oh, he had a deep conversation. No, we didn't. I promise you. But I did say to him, hey, man, I really appreciate, you know, your role in fighting back in a war for free speech.
Starting point is 00:20:36 And I'm going to tell you some folks we would not have won the election like we did without X. What are you saying? Trump wouldn't want. No, I think Trump would have been fine. But some of those Senate races, no, I don't think we would have. And down-ballot stuff, I'm not sure we would have either if we did not have X in its form now.
Starting point is 00:20:55 I wanna show you this quick clip of Elon and Rogan and you'll see what I mean, because ladies and gentlemen, we don't have the First Amendment, we don't have anything. That's the real fight going forward. Quick break, we'll be right back. Hey, when the doctors at Brickhouse Nutrition announced a Black Friday sale, it's a big deal. Now's the time to save a bundle when you reboot and optimize your health. It's the biggest sale of the year on everything. That includes field degrees, the fruit and vegetable powder

If you go back in my Instagram and you look, you'll notice I lost a lot of weight, about 30 pounds.

And don't forget promo code sale at field of greens.com Check it out right back to the show. So I got to thank Elon, very nice guy. I really appreciate what he did. Here was Elon and this was the game changing moment I think that helped us win this election so forcefully. And by the way, don't believe the new media narrative on CNN and elsewhere. They're like, Trump fell below 50% of the popular vote. Dopey losers, okay, at CNN. There were two choices.
Starting point is 00:22:52 The fact that there were stragglers in the race, Jill Stein and others and other people, does not take away at all from the fact that we disposed of the Democrats and Kamala Harris in nearly every competitive race in the country and won the popular vote by millions of votes. Don't believe the bullshit this was a mandate, but it wouldn't have happened as convincingly
Starting point is 00:23:14 down-ballot without this, check this out. But if it wasn't for you buying that and changing Twitter, I don't think we would be where we're at right now. I think it was a pivotal moment. I think Historically when people look back on it, it's gonna be a pivotal moment in this very bizarre fight for the freedom of information Yeah Well, I mean at the time I said I think like look I think this is
Starting point is 00:23:41 Existential to the United States. it's existential to democracy. Because if you don't have freedom of speech, you don't have democracy, okay? Because if you don't have freedom of speech, people cannot make an informed vote. If they're just being fed propaganda, and there's no freedom of speech, democracy is an illusion.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Michael notes something interesting and there's no freedom of speech. Democracy is an illusion. Michael notes something interesting that the chat peaked out at 92 posts per second, which is a stunning number in the chat. And at Pennsylvania, is it Pennsylvania? It's counting votes at six votes per second. So Rumble leads the way. Ah, if you guys need some help counting votes, we can help you out.
Starting point is 00:24:22 Give us a jingle, we'll help you guys out. But what Elon said is right, ladies and gentlemen, if have you don't have freedom of speech you don't have conflicting perspectives and the ability to judge who's right and who's wrong that was a critical inflection point in this election and don't believe the media bullshit i promise you i'm always ahead of the narrative always always self-praise stinks, but in this case, screw it. You're going to see in the coming days, the narrative is going to shift. And you're going to see in the news and on Twitter, which has lost all influence, by the way, but they're still going to put it out there.
Starting point is 00:24:53 You're going to see these stories. You know, Trump only got 49.95% of the popular vote. It's all bullshit. It doesn't matter. You know what matters? You got even less. You suck on the left. Okay? Sorry. You're bad. So sad. Now I got to get back to some critical stuff. Ladies and gentlemen, the nomination fights are heating up. This is going to be a dog fight. This is going to be plane to plane aerial combat top gun style. This is going to get plane to plane aerial combat top gun style. This is going to get really ugly. Now I'm telling you for a fact, whoever's out there pitching to you like, Oh, the Trump team like pick Gates and just a spur of the moment thing. And they
Starting point is 00:25:39 didn't really know what they were doing. Bullshit. Not everything they do is 4D chess. These cabinet picks have been. I'm going to explain to you something right now that I'm absolutely certain of. And you could take it to the bank. And media people who have been spinning an opposite narrative, start taking get your pens out, start taking notes. You ready? The Trump team learned a valuable lesson from 2016 When Mike Flynn no pun intended got submarine military guy When he got submarine when he got destroyed The media zoned in
Starting point is 00:26:22 Michael listen to this if this doesn't make sense. What they did is they let the media focus on one person, Flynn. And the media decided they were gonna go all Saul Alinsky. Isolate, remember Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals? Isolate the target. I don't know what rule that is, four or five, whatever it is. Isolate the target.
Starting point is 00:26:41 They managed in 2016 to destroy a good man and a patriot patriot Mike Flynn. And it's because I'm not going to say they allowed him, but they got sidetracked with the Flynn thing. They have now learned the lesson and we'll call it very simply the flood the zone tactic. I call it the rock them sock them robots tactic. I prefer that one. Media people are now calling it flood the zone where the second they start to try to isolate Hegsath, Tulsi or Gates, they hit them with someone else and the media doesn't know who to focus on. And one, the media has less power than
Starting point is 00:27:20 it did before. I told you that before because nobody's really listening to them. But when you break up their attention and they're trying to hit Tulsi, Gates and Hegseth at the same time and maybe like a Cash Patel if he gets FBI, he's my choice, but that's up to Donald Trump. They're going to go nuts over Cash Patel next. Do you get the point how partitioning your time and not isolating the target means you have no target at all? They're doing this on purpose. Anyone going like, Oh my gosh, Trump team's really screwing up. They're naming controversial place. One, they're not controversial.
Starting point is 00:27:57 They're only controversial because you don't like them. They're doing this on purpose. And I need you to Bon Gino Army to get ready for this dogfight and make sure your members of the House, I know they don't have a role in the confirmation process but they do have the senators ear and make sure your senators know Trump's picking his cabinet and you guys better go along because without him on the ballot a lot of you guys wouldn't have a job. Everybody in the Bongino Army, you guys in?
Starting point is 00:28:25 Yes or no? Are you in this fight with me? I don't ask you a lot. Throw some American flags in the chat. Trump has the right, he has earned the right to pick his own cabinet. And unless you have some reason like treason, then I don't wanna hear it.
Starting point is 00:28:44 You're damn right. Yeah tear that chad up. Tear it up. Burn that thing to the ground. Burn it to the ground kids. Burn it to the ground. He will pick his cabinet and you're gonna go along because you would not have a job and I I want you to remember, you work for us. We're not being, did we break that thing? Holy. 75. 175. 175
Starting point is 00:29:14 chat texts per second. I think that's a new record for the Dam Bon Gino show. 172,000 watching. Tearing up the internet. Rumble servers smoking, melting down. 172,000 watch and tearing up the internet, rumble servers, smoking, melting down 118 115, 100. Keep it up. Blow that thing up, man. Blow that sucker up. Oh, by the way, quick update before I get back to this. I don't mean
Starting point is 00:29:35 to have like totally ADHD, but you know what this is? Like, damn, what is that some kind of like limitless drug? I forgot to take it. Red pill. It's a red pill. What are you? No, it's Keflex. Remember last week I was telling you guys my arthritis was acting up in my hands? That wasn't arthritis.
Starting point is 00:29:58 I must have got a bite on my hand. I caught a massive infection in my hand. That's why it was all red. So I'm on Keflex now for a week, which is like a super potent antibiotic. Damn, that's too much information. There's never too much information on the show. It's a family. Look, it's better now though.
Starting point is 00:30:16 That wasn't arthritis. I got bit by something. That's why my hand was all freaking puffy. You should have seen it at the UFC. Couple guys asked me, what are you fighting? Did you knock someone out? No, I'm not fighting. I said, I got a cellulitis in my hand,
Starting point is 00:30:29 getting bit by some. So luckily it's gone now, but I gotta stay on this for seven days. But it is a red pill, kind of convenient, right? All right, I'm gonna get back to these nominations in a second, and I'm gonna show you who Pete Hegseth really is. I want you to listen to this clip of him

Starting point is 00:33:11 Back to the show. Ladies and gentlemen, this is why I love Pete Hegseth, a decorated military veteran, Fox News host, advocate, activist. This is why I think he's the best pick. This is from a Sean Ryan show. He's got an amazing podcast talking about why the trans ideology is destroying battlefield effectiveness
Starting point is 00:33:34 in the military. And tell me, tell me after you hear this, this doesn't make just common sense. Check this out. You had a cat for dental. They pulled your tooth because you can't be out in the field with a major dental emergency, but there's no dentist. And so I deploy with a lot of guys who are like,
Starting point is 00:33:55 because they just had a tooth pulled and they had to. Yet we're now allowing people who used to be men or women join and then after that we pay for medical or physical allowing people who used to be men or women join. And then after that, we pay for medical or physical transitions to another gender, which by definition makes them non-deployable and non-trainable for your, because they're, and the same thing with asthma medication or inhalers.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Like when you're in basic training, you can't have an inhaler when you're doing your exercises because you can't count on having an inhaler in a combat situation. Well, if you're medically dependent on drugs to maintain your gender or a particular balance of chemicals inside your body, you're by definition non-deployable. And so you'd have, they'd have soldiers who can't train, can't deploy, have been on the books. And yet everyone has to be careful about what pronoun you use with them. Folks in the chat again, you know, I love you guys. This show is always meant to be interactive. That's why we went live.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Is this guy the guy or is this guy the guy? You think you're going to hear that kind of talk from anywhere else? And by the way, what did he say that doesn't make sense? You got a combat operator with a tooth infection you can't put out in the field. Folks, I don't fake the funk, okay? That's an N. I don't fake the funk on anything. I've never been in the military.
Starting point is 00:35:18 I have not been in combat, okay? Period, full stop-a-roo. I'm not a poser, I'm not gonna pretend. But I'm not stupid. If you're going out in combat, Justin, you ever been in a combat situation? He has not, Justin's like, I'm not even out of college yet. Okay, but let me ask you, Justin's like, nobody likes war,
Starting point is 00:35:39 he don't wanna be involved, he's like, listen, let's stay out of wars, like, that's a good thing. But you call Justin up, he'd do it, right? Because Justin's like, look at this guy. He's like, ready to go. Like, I'll get him. I got America's back. But can we all agree here that if Justin has a massive tooth infection, right, that he probably becomes a liability in the Afghan mountains. Would you not, Justin?
Starting point is 00:36:02 And it's not that Justin's in pain. It's that the infection could get bad and Justin could get a fever and then what happens? Two guys have to carry Justin and it takes three guys out of action. What about what Pete just said doesn't make sense that you get someone who wants a trans surgery and you're going to put them in a military situation where they're now not capable medically of being able to fight. What the hell's the point of that?
Starting point is 00:36:31 You wanna do that on your personal time, go right ahead. What about what he just said doesn't make sense? You know it does. But do you see how the Trump team learned from the Mike Flynn situation? Flood the zone. Rock them, sock them robots. That's what we do, Bongino Army. He just keeps hitting them with people.
Starting point is 00:36:57 He just keeps hitting them over and over and they don't know what to do. Here's a CNN clip, whereas they got pressured last time to dump Flynn over that thing. It's not happening this time. I do not think they're backing down on this at all. Even CNN got wind of this. They're hearing Trump's all in on Matt Gaetz, who's been nominated for AG. And by the way, I support, I don't want to date the guy. Oh my gosh, I don't I folks we're in a serious political battle situation. The bad guys are that way. We can talk about your personal shit later. For now, they're down that way. They're not sideways. Here's CNN saying hey, Trump's all in on gates. And I'm telling you, they're all in on Hegseth, too. Check this out.
Starting point is 00:37:45 We are learning tonight that Donald Trump remains determined to see Matt Gaetz's nomination through. He is very aware of the coverage and the blowback that Gaetz's nomination has received since that surprising announcement. And he has heard from his allies on Capitol Hill and Republican senators who are concerned that Gaetz does not Good. Good. I'm not going to back off. I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off.
Starting point is 00:38:07 I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off.
Starting point is 00:38:15 I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off.
Starting point is 00:38:23 I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off. I'm going to back off. I'm going to quote. He is not going to back off. He's all in Good good Folks I don't steal you wrong. I don't steal you wrong at all. I told you they the Trump team has learned a lot You have to remember in 2016. They were new to politics Trump had never been elected to anything They were new to politics. Trump had never been elected to anything. They were new to politics, just a fact. I think they were blindsided by everything coming at them and their own friends screwing them over. They're not falling for that shit again. You understand? They're
Starting point is 00:38:55 not. This is their pick and that's it. And the senators out there wouldn't have jobs without them. This is the guy. Here is the single best take you're gonna hear. Folks, I don't like watching political violence on TV but there was a murder on television. Live? There was. There was. Someone notified the FBI immediately. Someone get a body bag. There was a murder
Starting point is 00:39:25 on live television. Was it like the Joker move? Of course. It was bad. Did you see this clip you guys? You know Molly Hemingway? We love Molly. Molly is the queen of ballbusters. I love me some Molly Hemingway. Molly Hemingway is on Fox with Trey Gowdy, who's a whole other story. Trey Gowdy, who's always got something to say about these deep state issues and amazingly is always on the wrong side of them, which is just incredible, which I've been calling out for a long time. I've never seen a guy on the wrong side of more issues than that. Trey Gowdy, of course, sitting there, oh my gosh Matt Gaetz, hey, look at this. Here's Molly Hemingway with Trey sitting right on the panel. Folks, you wanna watch a body bag situation on live TV?
Starting point is 00:40:12 Here's her answering Trey Gowdy's condemnation of a Matt Gaetz pick. Oh man, someone dialed 911. There's been a political homicide on television. Check this out. Matt Gaetz was nominated for this position because we have a problem with the Department of Justice. For the last eight years, they have run roughshod
Starting point is 00:40:31 over rule of law in this country. They have prosecuted political opponents. They ran the Russia collusion hoax. And too many people in Washington, DC did not stand up against what was happening there. And many Americans are upset about it. Matt Gaetz is one of the most effective people at fighting that Russia collusion
Starting point is 00:40:46 hoax and other information operations, whether it was the Brett Kavanaugh information operation, the Donald Trump Russia collusion hoax information operation, or the one that is referenced here, which is something that the FBI and Department of Justice, which hate Matt Gaetz, looked into and cleared him of any wrongdoing. The idea that this is about, the issue is corruption.
Starting point is 00:41:06 It's the Department of Justice's corruption and people are sick and tired of people in Washington, D.C. doing nothing as these people try to destroy the country and getting upset at someone who actually might root out the corruption there. We don't have a Department of Justice, we have a Department of Injustice and that's why you get Matt Gaetz as a nominee. I'm moving quick now, right? I'm like lightning. Look at that. What does that? The moan. Wait, the Johnny Bones Jones back kick, right? Karate Man in the chat. Karate Man in the chat.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Karate Man on the inside. Someone please get homicide investigators to that Fox News studio. Who loves Molly Hemingway? She's only been on the right side. By the way, you see what she did there? She takes a shot at Gowdy without him even knowing. Oh, he figured it out probably later about the Spygate thing too. Molly, you should do your own karate man. Oh, man, you guys tripped me out. Molly needs her own karate man, because she's really good at the karate man too. Because karate Man. Trey, just stop man. Stop. Time's up, okay? We're onto it. We're onto the shtick now. Yes sir, we get it. We got it. We've already heard it before. But you're on the wrong side of everything,
Starting point is 00:43:00 okay? Okay. We get the fake Tea Party Act. We've been through it before. Here's another reason they hate Gates. He was Matt Gates, which was Lloyd Austin, who's the Secretary of Defense now. Lloyd Austin is a known, how's he known, Guy, by Biden? Is it, is he that guy? The general over there, that guy? It's the black guy, yeah, the black man.
Starting point is 00:43:24 I think he called him the black man he called the black man one time he has a name his name is loyd austin it's kind of weird right that the democrats are always talking about racists that that's like the one cabinet guy they can never remember no no yeah oh my gosh i didn't even think of this the other guy they can't remember the name of is javier becerra who happens to be be a Hispanic. He calls him Javier Baccaria. So it's incredible that the Democrats are always accusing everybody else of being racist. It's absolutely phenomenal that the only people Biden can't remember the name of are Lloyd Austin and Javier Becerra. Isn't that kind of weird? Did we just crash like rumble completely? Oh,
Starting point is 00:44:02 there we go. Oh my gosh. What did we what are we doing? This show is like so big. We're like melting servers 183,000. Come on, let's get to 190. Get your friends in here. Let's do a solid 190 on Monday. Here's Matt Gaetz versus Lloyd Austin calling them out like, hey, man, we're giving you guys all this money and we're getting our asses kicked in all these areas.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Like, do you have an explanation for this? This is why they don't want them. Check this out. I can't help but notice, you guys have been- And so your question was whether or not we- I control the time. Your question was whether or not we embrace socialism. You guys have been blowing a lot of calls lately
Starting point is 00:44:34 on matters of strategy, Mr. Secretary. You guys told us that Russia couldn't lose. You told us that the Taliban couldn't immediately win. And so I guess I'm wondering, what in the $773 billion that you're requesting today is gonna help you make assessments that are accurate the matches the strategy. And so I'll let that speak for itself. You notice how they have those little paper tags in front of the secretary Austin, can someone like give him one of those when he's around Biden, so everybody knows like his name isn't that guy, the general or the black man. He has a name.
Starting point is 00:45:19 It's Lloyd Austin. We've never been confused. I promise you. Guys, when I left the Look, there it is right there. Thank you, Guy, very much. So, Justin, how do you know what order the show goes in? Like when I send these things over? The voicemail, right? They run that. So when I left on the voicemail today, you listened to it, and I said, the Lloyd Austin clip. Were you in any way confused? He was not. He was not. Justin's not even out of college yet. And Justin knows that Lloyd Austin is the defense secretary. Who doesn't know that? Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:45:51 And if he didn't, he would look it up. I had a look up, I don't wanna get off track, but I'm in the green room and Donald, President Trump introduces me to this guy. I did not know who he was and I'm glad I looked up who he was. Oh my gosh, it was not a political guy at all. But I told you I'm not like a deal cutter type of guy. I don't know a lot of these. And I was like, glad I looked them up. I'll tell that story later.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Sometimes pretty funny. Shocker. You gotta know these guys are. It's also why they don't want Hegseth, because they know Hegseth's not going to take that crap either. He's going to go in there and start looking at the budget going, does this contribute to military effectiveness and lethality? No, done. What about this? No, done. DEI, definitely done.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Here's a problem we're going to have. There are some Republican senators out there who are still convinced that they had a mandate, not Donald Trump. That is not what happened. Many of you, not all of you, but many of you in the Senate, and definitely the ones in closed seats, are only in office right now
Starting point is 00:46:55 because of President Trump and his voters. His voters did it. You better get that down right away. So John Thune is gonna be the new Senate majority leader in this new Senate coming up in just a couple of months. Senator Thune, race is over folks. We gotta move on and focus on the pressure points we can use now.
Starting point is 00:47:16 My choice was Rick Scott, didn't happen. But Thune is now saying that recess appointments are on the table. There's some dispute over what McConnell thinks. He's still in control for a little bit. Rick Scott put out a firm tweet this morning saying, oh yes, we will use recess appointments. And just to be clear,
Starting point is 00:47:33 recess appointments are exactly what they sound like. It's an appointment of someone like Gates while the Congress and the Senate are in recess. In other words, if Matt Gates can't get the votes, there's been some suggestions of the Vacancy Act, which gives the, which give dates, which give Gaetz 210 days. So Gaetz is getting in there, folks.
Starting point is 00:47:53 I'm telling you no matter what, whether it's a vacancy appointment, a recess appointment, or a standard confirmation. Here's John Thune. He's saying the right things. We'll see how he acts. Folks, remember, we're all about spreadsheets. I'm not about personality. Thune does the right things. We'll see how he acts. Folks, remember, we're all about spreadsheets. I'm not about personality.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Dune does the right thing, plus one. He does the wrong thing, minus one. Here he is saying that recess appointments are on the table, and this is what we want to hear, but it's also we want to see it, not just hear it. Check this out. So you've said that you would do recess appointments. If it came to that, what's the threshold for getting to that point for recess appointments well I what I said is red and I think this is a bit that all options are on the table
Starting point is 00:48:31 including recess appointments hopefully doesn't get to that but we'll find out fairly quickly whether the Democrats want to play ball or not and I think part of it is getting these folks will start having confirmation hearings soon as the new Senate is sworn in in January president President takes the oath of office January 20th. By the time he takes the oath of office, hopefully a lot of those nominees will be through their confirmation hearings and will be ready to act on them on the Senate floor. Okay, they're on the record. I want you guys to save that because it's really important.
Starting point is 00:48:59 Folks, recess appointments could be critical. I think Pete will be okay, except I think we can go through a standard confirmation. Gates, I'm not sure because a lot of these Republicans are squishy already. And I don't like it. Now, why do I keep telling you to call your congressional members as well on the House side, even though they don't have a role in the confirmation process? The Senate confirms because they do. But you just said they don't have a role in the confirmation process. The Senate confirms because they do. But you just said they don't know they do. Folks, for Congress as a body to go into recess,
Starting point is 00:49:35 the House and the Senate have to agree. If the House and Senate agree and go into recess for 10 days, President Trump can make a recess appointment. We need this. This is a key tactical move. Does everybody get this? Anyone in the chat confused? It allows us to bypass
Starting point is 00:49:53 it's a overly politicized confirmation process at this point with squishes. We've got to use every tool of government we can. Recess appointments are a perfectly constitutional thing. Obama did them, so I don't want to hear your bullshit all of, Recess appointments, Obama, you didn't say anything when Obama did it. So we're going to do it too. We are here to use every lever of government, but we're going to need the House. I ran into Speaker Johnson in this green room at the UFC, spoke to him for a little bit. I just hope he stays on.
Starting point is 00:50:27 He seems to understand the trench warfare theory of politics going on right now. We'll keep the spreadsheet open as I've always told you. But here he is on television defending the Gates appointment. And I want you to keep this in mind here. The damn Bonjino trench warfare theory of politics. When you're in the trench in a battle, an existential battle, save your life and your country, which we're doing now. I hate warfare analogies, but they punch through. The enemy is that way. Whether the guy next to you cheated on
Starting point is 00:50:56 a test in college, you can deal with that later. This isn't the time for that. Is the guy a good marksman in a political fight, then let's do it. Here is Johnson saying the exact same thing on one of the weekend shows that, Hey man, this isn't the time for that. This is an existential fight for the country. Let's hope he sticks to it. Check this out. With some of these nominees, Gates, Hegsath, RFK Jr. I wonder, does it matter anymore for Republicans to think of leaders
Starting point is 00:51:28 as people who are moral in their personal lives? Is that still important to the Republican Party? Sure. It's an important issue for anyone in leadership. This is what I'll say about the nominees that the President has put forward, is that they are persons who will shake up the status quo. And I think what the American people have believed and what they've delivered with the mandate in this election is demand that we shake up the status quo. It's not working for the American people. So use the term in
Starting point is 00:51:57 the opening about how these are disruptors. They are. I think that's by design. Any president has the right to name their own cabinet, to nominate persons that they think will fulfill their agenda. And the people that are on this list will do that. They will go into the agencies that they're being asked to lead and they will reform them. That's exactly what we want to hear. Just, I'm asking you to put your emotions aside.
Starting point is 00:52:23 It matters. I get it. Not everyone emotions aside. It's matters. I get it. Not everyone is going to be our pick. You know, we had Jim Jordan on our radar. Rick Scott. It didn't work out, but you got to keep the spreadsheet open. We are still going to need to pull some levers. I just had this conversation this morning.
Starting point is 00:52:38 Like this is politics is a rough, ugly, back and forth, rough and tumble business. I wish it weren't, but it is. You're not always gonna deal with the people you wanna deal with. You all get that, you're all adults. I don't wanna sound like an asshole, folks. I'm not trying to sound like some avuncular, like look at me, superior moral figure.
Starting point is 00:52:58 I've dealt with this for a long time. You are going to deal with people in politics you don't want to sometimes. The best you can hope for is to get a plus one on the spreadsheet out of them. We need this guy to stay strong. If we need a recess appointment, you're going to need him to call that recess. Keep that in mind. Folks, unconventional times require unconventional measures, and we're in unconventional times.
Starting point is 00:53:24 That's why I have no problem with the Gates pick. Unconventional times require unconventional measures and we're in unconventional times. That's why I have no problem with the Gates pick. It's why I'm fully supportive of these other picks. Tulsi, Hegseth, RFK, shake it up over there. Let's get a different perspective. Trump deserves his team and these people with us when we needed him. Yeah, but he said this and she said that. I get it.
Starting point is 00:53:41 I get it. Everybody says a lot of things.

This January 6th pipe bomber case is absolutely exploding. It is the biggest scandal of our time. Put up the Just the News article first. You saw me report this last Thursday, well, covering the reporting proper respect of Stephen Richards and John Solomon at Just the News. There is now a credible report from them that the alleged suspect in the pipe bombing incident, the DNC, where
Starting point is 00:54:27 the phone companies told the FBI, oh, we can't find him, his cell phone records were corrupted, that those cell phone records are just fine, which says to me, the FBI knows who that was. Folks, I want you to watch this exchange between Tom Massey and Christopher Wray. I may cover this again tomorrow. I hate to do a story twice, but I don't want to leave today without addressing this. And maybe I'll go into more detail. They are hiding from you a huge scandal. The person who planted that pipe bomb at the DNC on January 6th when Kamala Harris was
Starting point is 00:54:59 there, I have zero doubt was an inside job. Zero from credible whistleblowers Zero doubt watch Christopher Ray stumble this clips about a minute 20 But it's worth your time when Tom Massey a great congressman Starts questioning him about the pipe bomber and the phone records Christopher Ray can't see He does not want you to know who this is Check this out. Director Ray, in light of information provided to us about the FBI's investigation of the
Starting point is 00:55:31 January 6th pipe bombs, in an interview with Assistant Director Steven D'Antuano, Chairman Jordan and I sent you a letter a month ago. Some of the information that we found in that interview was that phone data that could have helped to identify the pipe bomber was corrupted was unusable He also wasn't sure who found her how the second bomb was found at the DNC Do you know how the second bomb was found at the DNC and and when do you plan on answering our letter? Well as to the letter, I will work with the department
Starting point is 00:56:07 to make sure we can figure out what information we can provide. As you know, this is a very active ongoing investigation and there are some restrictions on that, but we will do our best to respond. Yes, we can handle classified information and we fund your department, and so you need to provide that.
Starting point is 00:56:20 It's not, respectfully, it's not an issue of classification. It's an issue of commenting on ongoing criminal investigations, which is something that by long-standing department policy, we are restricted in doing.

Folks, I may cover this again tomorrow. Forgive me for doing it again. But I'm telling you right now, they know something's up with this case. And whoever gets in there at FBI and Secret Service, we better figure this out really quick. because this is a massive scandal. That was an op.
