Do You Remember This? (Ep. 2633)

Dan Bongino delivers a politically charged message centered on hope, not despair, using real-life examples to argue that political revolutions happen quickly and decisively. He traces the roots of the modern Republican resurgence to the Tea Party movement, which erupted just 30 days after Barack Obama’s inauguration, following a wave of Democratic losses in the 2010 midterms. Bongino asserts that voters were misled by Democratic promises of affordability and economic relief, only to find that once in power, the party pushed radical policies like Medicare for All, border chaos, and the targeting of ICE agents—actions that contradict voter intent. He highlights the economic rebound with 165,000 new jobs, calling it a critical contrast to Democratic rhetoric. A core theme is institutional vulnerability: Bongino warns that Democrats are likely to eliminate the Senate filibuster, enabling sweeping, unregulated legislation. He also criticizes the use of paid social media content, emphasizing that real voter concerns—like healthcare, schools, and wages—far outweigh viral political narratives. Ultimately, Bongino urges a return to simple, actionable messaging focused on economic freedom, personal choice, and national security, arguing that the next two years will see a decisive political realignment driven by public backlash against Democratic overreach. He concludes by reinforcing that true change requires active, grassroots participation, not passive acceptance of political narratives.

hosts of shows and content creators they come out they want to crap on everyone else like that's stupid that but i've seen so many good posts on x and i've seen a lot of crap too don't get me wrong um we'll address that later but i've seen so many good posts by people saying essentially this hey man things change fast in politics let's simplify the message and move forward folks it's time for us as a republican party to clear up the debris and make the message simple i addressed what i thought was a 10 or 15 point plan the other day with very simple items but honestly we can make it even simpler

we'll move with cleaning up the tax code we got to get away from this government centered health care thing the democrat socialists want to push down our throat and letting patients and their doctors control their health care and their health care decisions three you know education i'll lump them into one education our military we are all about choice and high quality education not woke education and we need a strong military in this dangerous national security environment just simplify the message make a handshake deal show people what works move with it put it down on paper i don't care what you call it i mean they did the whole contract with them i don't care what you call it call it the deal the handshake i don't know what the hell you do but make the message simple we over dramatize these things donald trump's 2016 campaign which shocked the entire world was built around one simple message make america great again that was it it resonated with a lot of people how do we know because he won that's how we know folks and when i use the word revolution i want to be clear i i'm not a leftist i'm not referring in any way to violence i hope you understand that so let's just preface this before any these media matters goons or these other leftist lunatics try to mischaracterize what i'm saying so we clear on that political revolutions and i mean revolutions are always right around the corner no they're not okay you want to see it how many of you i what did i title the show oh you remember this yes my title i sent it over this morning on text to gian justin confirmed yes thank you last night it's about 10 o'clock i'm going to sleep go to sleep early and you know i'm still like you struggling to deal with tuesday and the extent of the losses which were pretty profound and i thought to myself i still don't feel as bad as i felt when barack obama beat john mccain and won the presidency i that was the worst feeling ever i could not believe this guy who was one of the worst presidential candidates and the worst two-term president of our lifetime had not only won but had won handily i could not believe it it bothered me so much i left my job on his protection detail to go run for office in a freaking blue state i had no chance of winning that's how pissed off i nearly went bankrupt i couldn't even pay my daughter's orthodontic bill i gave orthodontist bill doesn't matter what forget what i did barack obama beat john mccain and won the presidential election i couldn't believe it the country liberals were celebrating even worse than they are now liberals were out there telling everyone there's a national realignment demographic destiny there is no way you'll win another election folks in the chat chime in this is your show too tell me who remembers that they called it like the colorado model young kids minorities young single women they were all going to vote for you barack obama beat john mccain and won the presidential election barack obama beat john mccain and won the presidential election whatever crap they were telling you about fancy poster remember that they were like it's over republicans give up jump out of the ring forget it you're done but only 30 days later. After Barack Obama put up his right hand and swore, and you remember, I'm seeing flags in the chat. You guys remember this, right? We were told, stay home, Republicans. Barack Obama's crushed the Republican Party. Something happened only 30, you mean 30 months? No, I mean 30 days after he swore in. I thought it was all over. A guy by the name of Rick Santelli, who I believe just retired at CNBC, and CNBC is not a MAGA station. It wasn't even MAGA. It's not some conservative station. 30 days after Obama, you could put the chat GPT thing up first in case you think I'm making this up. A guy by the name of Rick Santelli goes on CNBC, and Obama in his first 30 days wanted to do this like you pay off your neighbor's mortgage plan, like it was this massive income redistribution thing. He was talking about, you know, taking away your health care. He's 30. 30 days in office. So I said, when did Rick Santelli make his Tea Party speech on the CNBC stockroom floor, and how long had Barack Obama been president at that point? He delivered his speech on February 19, 2009 from the CME. Barack Obama was inaugurated on January 20th. That means Obama had been president for 30 freaking days. Revolutions happen fast. There were a lot of moments that started the Tea Party, but I think most people don't. People would agree. This was the match that lit the fuse. I want you to watch this and check this out. How about this, president and administration? Why don't you put up a website to have people vote on the internet as a referendum to see if we really want to subsidize the losers' mortgages, or would we like to at least buy cars and buy houses in foreclosure and give them to people that might have a chance to actually prosper down the road and reward people that could carry the wall? Why don't you put up a website to have people vote on the internet as a referendum to see if we really want to subsidize the losers' mortgages, or would we like to subsidize the losers' mortgages? getting scared a lot all you capitalists that want to show up the lake michigan i'm going to start organizing what are you dumping in what are you dumping in this stuff ladies and gentlemen And that was the unofficial start of the Tea Party. The Tea Party was the genesis of the whole MAGA revolution later. It was 30 days after Obama supposedly crushed the Republican Party. The Democrat revolution had happened, and it was over. We were told, stay home, don't vote again, disband the entire party, go the way of the Whigs. 30 days American flags in the chat Ladies and gentlemen Go grab a box of Lipton Or whatever you need What they say, give a hoot, don't pollute When you're a kid, but ceremonially Throw it in a body of water around your house too Because we don't need 30 days It's only been a couple It was Tuesday night It's time to start a new Tea Party revolution Oh yeah, light that shot up right there I'm not giving up my country. I was told to give up when Barack Obama won. Ah, but Dan, that was just talk. Nothing really happened. I mean, what happened just 30 days after the tea? But light up that shot, because I'm not giving up what's behind me, that American flag, and you ain't either. Revolution is right around the corner every single time. We have an election in what, 10 years? No, two, less than two, because we're already a few days into the next cycle. There is an election in two years where a third of the Senate is up again. The entire House, they just celebrated taking back. Hakeem Jeffries taking his victory lap. And the presidency. It's just less than two years away now. What happened after Rick Santelli's speech? Keep this number in your head. 30 days after we were told it was all over, Barack Obama won. Well, I asked ChatGPT again, tell me the extent of the Democrat Party losses in the 2010 midterms. The 2010 midterm election on November 2nd, 2010 produced sweeping losses for the Democrat Party during President Obama's first term. You want to see how bad the losses were? You think Tuesday was bad? This was a total, complete wipeout, an ass-kicking of the highest order. The Democrats lost net 63 seats, six seats in the Senate. Ladies and gentlemen, it's even worse. They lost 700 state legislative seats, six governorships, and 20 chambers flipped to Republican control. It's over. It's over. I'm going home. It's over. You're going home. I'm not going home. I don't know what you're doing. Republicans increased their House of Representatives number from 179 to 242. Listen to this one. The GOP gain of 63 seats was the largest seat gain in either party since 1938. So I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Give up, forfeit your country, get the, you know, like that scene in Logan at the end of the movie, just bury him and put a couple sticks there. No, no, we're not doing that. We're not doing any of that. Tuesday nights suck. There's no way around it. I said last night on Laura Ingraham's show, these guys are classless winners. I'll say it, the guy won his election. You think he'd go out and go, hey, it's time and whatever, do a little rapprochement. No, he's like, ah, screw this guy. JD, he's got to swear me in, whatever. These guys are losers. They're zeros. You actually believe they're going to do anything positive that in two years is going to lead to anything other than a revolution in politics if we can get our party in line too? Folks, we voted the Democrats out in a massive tidal wave not seen since 1938. Just two years after Barack Obama's party told us to go home, it was over. And the revolution started less than a month after he swore in. And the Tea Party took America back. Now, I want to give you even more hope, not cope, hope. There's a big difference. I just told you what happened. Not my hypothesis about what's going to happen. Not a theory. That happened. I lived it. Many of you lived it too. The Tea Party Revolution was one of the most profound revolutions in American political history. The sweeps, everything that happened there. And by the way, so much, here is a slight positive from the losses. and I mean slight, we had a lot of dead wood in the Republican Party on the House side, folks, a lot. I would never elect a Democrat. I'd rather dead wood than a socialist. However, there are going to be a lot of fresh faces running in two years. There's going to be a lot of Brandon Gill types, Mikey Wan out in Wisconsin, Alfonso. You're going to have a lot of younger people in there. You're going to have a lot of new ideas. There's no positives to losing. But sometimes if you're going to lose, a lot of dead wood is out. The whole MAGA revolution was born from the Tea Party. I want to give you another positive. Again, we voted Democrats out in a massive wave not seen since 1938, just two years after Obama's supposed national realignment. We're all supposed to stay home. And we voted them out with, candidly, folks, a not great prior Republican president. and George W. Bush. The contrast, in other words, was not as strong as it's going to be now. Here's what I mean. I'm explaining this poorly. Forgive me. Let me stop now because I get to sometimes throw myself under the bus. What is one of the golden rules of politics? Use pictures, snapshots, and soundbites. Snapshots and soundbites. One of the other golden rules in politics we discuss all the time, people aren't reading white papers. They don't have the time for that. You make it quick, snapshots and soundbites. But paint a contrast, paint a contrast, okay? Here's what we did, here's what we're going to do, here's our handshake with you, here's the other side. Back then, Barack Obama ran the first time as a moderate, governed as a lunatic, okay? But he did, he was like with the gay marriage thing and all, he was like up in the air on it and all that stuff. You know, he used to talk about border control. He ran as kind of a moderate. There wasn't even that big of a contrast we could paint. And we still smoked the Democrat Party in those midterms, in a midterm election like had not been seen in almost 100 years. 63 seats. You have a massive contrast going forward now. This number just came out today, folks. These last two years, this is what I'm getting at. If this economy keeps motoring, because that was the big issue. Don't let anybody mislead you, all these tweets out there. The issue is the economy. Please stop. Everybody knows the biggest issue is the economy. This just came out today, November 6th, 2026. Wall Street Journal, robust hiring defied expectations in October with 165,000 new jobs. The number they expected was 59,000. That's nearly three times the number. Folks, I thought the economy sucked. That's what they told you, correct? Is the economy having some struggles with the petrochemical market, with gas prices, diesel, with some farm tariffs and things like that? Yes. Is the economy struggling? It's not. I don't know where you're getting that from. Regionally and locally, we've got issues we need to deal with. The economy is not struggling. I'm sorry you've been taught. I even saw in the Wall Street Journal, I read their columns every day. Our politics are a little different. But I saw even Kim Strassel at the end of one of her pieces yesterday was like, the economy is bad. The economy is not bad. I'm not going to forfeit that argument because some left-wing media person told me to say it. Do not minimize ever American struggles on farms and elsewhere. Those are real. And we've got to handshake a deal going forward that we're going to fix that. We have to. But I'm not forfeiting the economic argument. The media used to tell us under Joe Biden's 9% inflation economy, the economy was great and on fire. And we were all supposed to play that BS line too? The point I'm making is the contrast is going to be profound because Obama ran as kind of a moderate type against a really poor Republican president, George W. Bush, who didn't do a good job. The Democrats over the next two years have taken over the house with a group of crazy socialists who are going to propose Obamacare on steroids in government-run healthcare for everyone in their Medicare for All bill. They're going to propose a massive tax hike, a moratorium on manufacturing all around the country, keeping gas in the ground, no pipeline construction. The contrast at the end of these two years, if Donald Trump can stop that and keep 165,000 jobs a month and 3% to 4% GDP, it's going to be profound. It's going to be 10 times worse. You have the opportunity in just two years to be a political revolutionary, too. Folks, how many people lived through the Tea Party? Folks, it was not an organized thing. There were just people like you and I who were taxed enough already. And they were pissed. And they went out to town halls and they berated reps and senators and they went out and voted. Now, a cautionary tale. And I don't want to mention anyone specifically because it's not productive at this point. What happened to the Tea Party as it fizzled out and later led to what the MAGA movement became? Folks, I lived it. No one's going to lecture me on what happened. It's a grifting class. Oh, that sounds familiar, like what's happening now. A grifting class took advantage of it and used it as a. a fundraising thing to not help the movement, but to help themselves. There were a lot of good groups who did a lot of good. So that's why I don't want to. I'm going to sit here and list out names. But there were a lot of grifty groups that came along and whatever. Joey Bag of Donuts Tea Party thing. Donate here. And all that helped was Joey Bag of Donuts. And it got people pissed off. So this isn't a fairy tale with some, you know, the princess gets married at the end and whatever. There were a lot of hiccups, and I acknowledge that. But there were. Huge successes, too. Under a Democrat president, we got the BCA, the Budget Control Act, before everyone threw it out later, where finally we had gotten a lid on spending with a Democrat president, because he had no choice. He had no choice. That's not cope with a C. That's hope with an H. And there are receipts in history to back it up. The Democrats just proved it. 2024, you people, oh, it's a permanent Republican majority. It's never a permanent anything, even for us. They got their asses kicked by Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. I was there election night with you. They've got. Their asses got kicked so hard, they still have the black and blue. And they got up and dusted off and came back and kicked our asses in 2026. They got their asses kicked by Donald Trump. It's not cope, it's hope. Folks, even Ronald Reagan, one of the most successful Republican presidents in the history of the United States. Ronald Reagan won 49 freaking states in 1984 in reelection. 49? You mean 39? No, 49. Look it up. The only state Ronald Reagan lost was Minnesota, where Walter Mondale was from. It is one of the largest electoral college popular vote landslides in American history. Well, it was a mandate, right? Reagan, 1984, permanent realignment. No, in 1986, he lost eight Senate seats in the midterm and five House seats. No, he didn't. Look it up. Look it up. Revolutions happen quick. Now it's time to start our revolution. I don't care what you call it. Tea Party 7.0. MAGA 2.0. The name is totally irrelevant. But you know what's not irrelevant? It has to start bottom up. We don't need anyone in podcast to stand. You don't need me to do it. I'm just a guy with a microphone. I'm just a guy with a microphone who cares about this country. That's why I left office. You know, I left my job to go run for office myself. That's just a fact. It starts with you. As my friend Ginny Thomas used to say all the time, you know, you're the leaders we've been waiting for. You don't need me or anyone else. You're the leaders we've been waiting for. All right, quick break. And you know, I was talking to Paula the other day and she had mentioned something to me about this company she does business with and they had stopped. This is not an ad. This is me. That they stopped free returns. And she was like, ah, it kind of sucks. I return a lot of stuff. Ladies and gentlemen, a lot of companies are dropping free returns. You got to pay right now to get the stuff back. Free returns are going the way of the woolly mammoth. Where am I going with this? In politics, there were no tradebacks. There were no returns. You picked a bunch of Democrat socialists and I'm going to show you on the economy, the biggest issue, the economy. I'm going to show you going forward, no tradebacks, not for two more years. So if you were on the fence and you picked a bunch of Democrats, you picked Pramila Jayapal and all these people thinking it was about affordability. Okay, I'm just going to play their own words. No free returns. Today's show brought to you by Bond Charge. A lot of people are engaged in like, they'll go out there and look up health hack items and things like that. That's what I do.

Remember when you were a kid, you ever trade baseball cards or am I just that old? Justin, did you ever do that? Just curious. Trade baseball cards? It was a thing that Andrew did. Okay, Justin's like, I don't know what you're talking about. He's like, I trade like, yeah, geek Pokemon cards and like flesh and blood cards or whatever he does and that other thing, Dungeons and Dragons too. I traded baseball cards. Sometimes you trade a baseball card and then like a week later, the guy would go on like a 20 for 20 hitting streak and he'd be like, ah, trade back. There's no backsies. There's no backsies. There's no free returns. There's no backsies in politics. You don't get to say going forward, if you picked a bunch of lunatics thinking they were going to help your job or affordability, you don't get to say, ah, I'm sorry, I want to redo. There's no do-overs. But, but, but, many of you say, but I didn't vote for that. Well, you did vote for that. You did vote. No, I voted on affordability. I warned you and others that the Democrats were rug pulling you. I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be a jerk. You didn't believe me, but I told you they were rug pulling you that they were going to run on the economy, affordability, gas prices. And the second they got in there, they were going to talk about everything but affordability. Here's Pramila Jayapal, an absolute lunatic, congresswoman. Here she is giving a deranged speech. I mean, like sociopathic speech here. This woman may be the head of the immigration subcommittee in the House. She will be one of the top two or three immigration elected officials in the country. So, of course, she's talking about let's maintain border security, not let terrorists in the country and all that stuff. Oh, no. No, she's not talking about jailing terrorists. She's talking about, she's talking about jailing ICE agents. And then you hear a guy in the background. Did you guys catch this? He's like, send them to the Hague, the international criminal court. And she doesn't even shut them down. Here's Pramila Jayapal talking about affordability, a.k.a. let's jail ICE agents and send them to the Hague. Check this out. I am going to be the chair of the immigration subcommittee. And every single one of these corrupt, corrupt people that kidnapped and detained and disordered and killed people in the streets, they are going to come before us. We are going to send them to prison. We are going to make sure that we restore kindness and humanity to our immigration system because this country is made up of immigrants. And yes, 7th Congressional District, you elected a proud immigrant. I'm really sorry. No, no. Justin's like, surely she talked about gas prices. No, no. But we voted on affordability. No, she's not lowering that. No, she's not doing any of that. No, she's not voting on patient-centered health care. She's not voting on regulatory reform, she's not permitting. That was the speech. The guy, send him to the Hague. And they're like, yeah. Folks, it's not funny. I mean, there's no, but, but, but I voted on affordability. I'm sorry, I'm sorry you did that. I'm sorry you did that. Why are you smiling? Because like I told you, cope, it's not a thing for me, but hope is. Revolution's right around the corner, baby. Every single time. And I'm telling you, the Democrats are going to hit the diaper. Dan, you missed a letter. I know. They're on radio too now. I promise. Oh, I got more. But just a quick interlude of sanity. Here's President Trump, who, by the way, has been incredibly measured. Everyone was expecting this catastrophic meltdown. He's like, eh, they pushed some good stuff. I'll work with them. If not, I'll veto it. I mean, he's like, where's the meltdown? The meltdown's on the left. The winner's not the loser's. The meltdown's been on the left. Here's President Trump from the Oval yesterday. Pramila Jayapal wants to jail ICE agents. Not why President Trump's in charge. Remember, we still have the presidency for two more years. Revolution's happened quick. Get ready. Here's President Trump. The new Texas liberal communist governor wants to open a border. I'll secure it myself. Check this out. reinforce the Texas southern border now that the new Democratic governor, is removing state manpower from border defense. I am sure that the new governor is going to want to have security of this Texas border. There were people on television two days ago saying how it's like living in heaven compared to living in hell when Biden was there. And I'm sure they'll continue my policy. And if they don't continue my policy, I will. Justin, that was just a total meltdown. Epic. What are they? Crash outs? Man, everybody melts. That's their new line. Everybody melts down. If you ever read like "Raw Story" or these other like kooky outfits, every bit, the one that, isn't that the one we had, they had issue with correctional? Everything's a melt. Of course I'm being sarcastic. He's like, yeah, we'll just secure the border ourselves. We've already done it. You see where I'm going with this? Folks, there is a contrast going forward. The contrast is even worse. It's worse for the Democrats than it was in the Tea Party revolution when the first Obama midterm, we completely eviscerated the Democrats in the House of Representatives and the Senate like we hadn't done in a hundred years. Obama ran as like a semi-moderate. Go look up his speech. Not the second time. The second time he ran as a lunatic. He gets into office and governs like a crazy person. The minute he comes in, he's talking about bailing out, paying your neighbor's mortgage, screwing up your healthcare. When that with the genesis of Obamacare, people were like, wait, what? We didn't vote for that. It's going to be a thousand times worse. These Democrats ran on the economy and affordability. The second they get into office, not even, not even in office yet, they were already rug pulling you. The contrast with the success of President Trump on the economy, on the border, on crime is going to be so profound. They're going to have a really tough time if they don't dial this nonsense back. Here's John Turley. Look at this. Crazy. What is that lady we don't do? What was that one? Oh, I don't know, Flags. This is going to be their party. This is going to be their party going forward. John Turley is a constitutional attorney. He is not a MAGA guy. I don't even know if he's a Republican, frankly. I have no idea. He was on Fox the other day, but he's a very moderate voice on a lot of issues. Here's Turley bringing up this exact point. Like, hey, they said they were running on this stuff, gas prices and all this other stuff, but that's not the route they're going down. And it's going to create a really bad contrast for them when they get absolutely nothing done they said they were going to get done because they're so focused on weaponizing the government and other things. Revolutions happen quick, baby. I'm telling you. Before you take any victory laps, be very cautious. Check this out. People are going to realize that they really didn't offer any actual constructive ideas of how they were going to improve the economy. The economy is actually doing very well. It's gasoline prices that really proved to be horrendous for this election. But the Democrats don't have much to offer here. The DSA is driving this train so far. And what Schumer and Jeffries are going to find out is that that wing is going to have oversized power in the coming Congress. And so I think this is going to be a bit of a train wreck. But this is we're looking at gridlock here. They don't have the votes to move these reforms. And that's the reason they're going to turn to investigations and impeachments. Folks, this pivot by the Democrats that Professor Turley there is describing is going to be a disaster. The Democrat pivot to tyranny and weaponization yet again, I promise you, is going to be a disaster. Oh, come on, Dan. No, come on, nothing. The president is still in charge. He still has the ability to lean out the federal workforce, to engage in massive red tape reform that he continues to do. promote economic growth policies, get more targeted tax policy, including tariffs. He could leave office with a 50-plus percent approval, just like crazy Bill Clinton did and others, if he just sticks to a sane, sensible path, which I know he's going to because he's already produced a record of results in the last few years. Republicans have been begging for it for generations. The message was just muddled. Turley said it himself. The economy's not doing poorly. Gas prices are an issue. The economy is not. The numbers don't say that at all. The message got muddled. But the Democrat message is already muddled. Can't say it enough. Here's Hillary Clinton, grand dame of the Democrat liberal lunatics. husband a massive amount of seats in his first midterm election in 1994. They got destroyed because they were pushing this ridiculous Hillary care. In other words, they were going to steal people's health care. Obama stole people's health care and lost 63 House seats, a record not broken since 1938. And now the Democrats who ran on affordability and economy are running on stealing your health care with the new Bernie Sanders care, which is even worse than Hillary care and even worse, worse than Obamacare. So what's Hillary doing? She's out there promoting affordability, getting them back on track. Just kidding. Just kidding. She's talking about jailing Elon Musk. Check this out. When it comes to what Trump said today, which was he was thinking about pardoning Musk and pardoning other people, he may well do that. But that doesn't mean. They can't be called and forced to testify. Because just because they're pardoned for something, unclear what, does not remove the obligation to respond to a subpoena in the Congress. And in fact, some legal experts argue that if you're pardoned, then you have no protection. You cannot take the Fifth Amendment because you have no jeopardy. So let him pardon Elon and then let's call him in. Right. Figure out what he has to say. Come on, guys. Get it together in there. I got the show run down right here. Here it is. Hillary, the affordability. Justin's like, no, no, she's talked about that next or something. No, no, they did not. They did not. No, but I want free returns. No free returns. No, there's no free returns. But I want a tradeback. The baseball card deal broke bad. No, no, there's no tradebacks either. What was it, Patrick? Oh, yeah, they did. They ran on the exact same thing. Exactly. No givebacks. No free returns, daddy-o. Buckle up. And they happen even faster when you sell out your voters. And there are people, there are a number of Republicans who voted Democrat this time. The numbers are starting to come in a lot. It wasn't just a few. They did not vote for Democrats to jail Elon Musk. I promise you, I don't need a focus group to tell me that. They did not vote for Pramila Jayapal to head the Immigration Subcommittee and put heroic ICE agents in jail. I'll say it for the 20th time. Buckle up. That's not cope. That's hope with receipts to back it up. Don't worry. They elected a moderate from Texas in James Talley. I'm going to go back to the last time I checked. I'm not really good with you. It's a long one, too. Here's your guy talking about affordability slash just kidding slash amnesty for illegals. Check this out. What will you choose to win? I'm going to work with the president. Yeah, I think there's a wide variety of issues that we could work together on. Immigration is one of them. I think trying to pass comprehensive immigration reform that includes border security. Give the president credit where credit is due. He has done a better job than the previous administration in securing our border. But we also need to create more legal pathways for hardworking immigrants who want to come here and contribute to our economy, who want to make us richer and richer. And stronger as a nation. And we should figure out a pathway to citizenship for those hardworking neighbors who have been here for years and decades so they can come out of the shadows. Here's the euphemisms game again. The word games. Sorry, liberals, if you got to look that word up that liberals always play pathway to citizenship undocumented. Let me just translate that for you. Our neighbors. They're talking about amnesty for people who broke the law entering the United States. That's what he's talking about. No, but I thought he was like a moderate. I didn't know. I didn't vote for I voted for like affordability or something. No tradebacks, no free returns, no backseas. You're stuck with this guy for six years now. An amnesty guy in Texas. I'm going to make a prediction. Tallarico, I don't know him personally, but I'm a pretty decent analyst. Of people without meeting him personally. Tallarico strikes me as weak. He's a weathervane. He'll just lick his finger and put whatever he sees the political winds blowing. He will get pressured because he thinks he's the next president United States to he will be pressured to take a vote on some crazy Democrat bill, probably in a matter of months on immigration. The second that goes public in Texas, that him and this new liberal governor are going to open the Texas border with Mexico to. Illegals. Again, there will be a political revolution in Texas like you haven't seen in a long time. They will not be able to duck it. Here's Tallarico again talking about affordability. Talk about affordability. Here he is talking about scrapping the filibuster so they can push through crazy Democrat things like banning voter ID and elsewhere. It's not affordability. No, no, it's not. No trade backs. No trade back Democrats. Watch all these swing voters swing right back when this crazy stuff happens. Check this out. Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, spending, what, two hundred million dollars to call you weirds. America PAC has a new ad out and he makes three specific allegations based on past comments you've made. I want you to respond to briefly. He says in the Senate you would vote to abolish the filibuster. Yes, I believe that the majority has the right to govern in this country. He's not equivocating in his answer at all. Are you going to vote to scrap the filibuster? Yes. To be clear, I thought we should have done it first. We did not, the Republican side. But if we didn't do it, we shouldn't let them do it either. Tallarico, I thought that was about affordability or something. All right, but there were down ballot races, I mean, at least in the formerly red state of Georgia, that will be red again one day, because I don't give up hope. In the formerly red state of Georgia, there's an agriculture secretary just got elected. At least they're talking about affordability and stuff, right? Oh, they're not. No, they're no, no. They're not talking about tax cuts for no, no, no. Justin, I know that's what he thinks is in this clip because I said about affordability, right? Here's the Georgia. Agriculture secretary talking about what basically are racist government policies, like distributing government taxpayer funds based on someone's race. Oh, we're going to give money to black farmers. Folks, I love black farmers, white farmers, Hispanic farmers. I love farmers. You feed us. We don't give out taxpayer dollars based on racial discrimination. I don't care what your group is. I thought this was about affordability. Oh, no. This is after these people won, too. Just like that. Check this out. We have the budget to allocate funds for our black farmers, for our beginning farmers, for people who have a disconnect. Like I was telling you about Richland, Georgia. Yes, ma'am. My great great grandmother, she had land down there. I didn't know about it until I started farming. It got caught up in heirs property and it's sold now. Yeah. So we the reeducation piece, we have to dedicate resources to reeducate our community so they understand what to do. what to do how many more receipts you need boy i've got some more for you folks contrasts in politics it was 30 days after obama swore in that the tea party rebellion began 30 days it hasn't even been close to 30 days and the democrats are already going crazy from the senator from elect from texas to the georgia agriculture secretary to a congresswoman from the state of washington They're already losing their minds. Send ICE agents to The Hague. Let's make racist payments based on race. Let's bring DEI. Ro Khanna put out a tweet. DEI is back. Can you imagine a guy more out of touch? You really believe that's what Americans showed up to the polls to vote for Democrats, to bring back DEI? They voted against men and women's sports in liberal states by large margins. You want to talk about misreading the electorate? The contrast, if the Trump administration stays on track on the economy, the border, and crime, three huge issues, throw in school choice and the Second Amendment, you got two big ones too. You got five rock-solid issues there. They stay on track and stay focused while the Democrats lose their minds trying to jail ICE agents, impeach everyone, throw everyone in jail. I'm telling you, the next election in just under two years, it's here now, be pretty for them. I don't think they can. can help themselves. Here's a Fox report on just this. I saw this, Steve Israel wrote this piece in the Wall Street Journal, was a Democrat congressman saying, oh, you know what? We elected a bunch of moderates around the country and the Democrat party's going to moderate. He was basically saying, Steve, listen, I think I met him a couple of times. He's a Democrat, obviously, but I don't buy any of that. The energy and money in the Democrat party is with the lunatics. And they're already telling congressional leadership on the Democrat side that we want votes. We want votes on Medicare for all and all this crazy stuff. I don't think any of that's true. I don't think the Democrat party is going to moderate. I think it's going to unmoderate and get crazier. Again, here's the receipts to back it up. They're already making demands. These socialists, they haven't even sworn in yet. Check this out. So-called regular Democrats will be in for a reality check. Those new radical far left Democrat members on Capitol Hill, want what they want. The 120th Congress will be seated in January and the newly elected Democrat socialists of America are already making their demands in the process, exposing the party's dramatically deep divide. I'm Harris Faulkner. You are in the Faulkner focus. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has already officially put in his bid to be Speaker of the House. He wants to lead those Democrats, all of them. Right now, he doesn't have, he doesn't have any competition. However, those far left members of the party still may not support him. You know why? He's not on board with radical ideas, so he says, as these. Good luck. Watch how quickly he folds on that one. Folks, the contrast, if we can keep the momentum on the economy, on crime, on public safety, school choice, the Second Amendment, privately, run the health care from individuals, not government. The contrast is going to be profound as they lose their minds. I want to talk about something important. I said I would address it in a little more detail. The contrast on this is going to be dramatic. If the Democrats, and I was chatting with Vince before he's sitting out there now, he did a show earlier. You know, Vince and I have some nice, robust debates. We should probably do like a Vince and Dan debate show. You know, we listen, we hire people for their minds. This is not a monopoly on ideas. I don't have a monopoly on ideas. I'm not wrong. But we were chatting before about just this overreach and the dumping the filibuster. And we said we were going through the big ones, like the damage the Democrats are going to do. The Electoral College going away with the National Popular Vote Compact I discussed yesterday, if I had to give it a probability, I'd give it 20, 25 percent because there are going to be small states that have no interest in that at all. Nevada and New Hampshire, they don't want California deciding who's the president. That's all. You'd never see a presidential candidate in New Hampshire again. But the Democrats are crazy enough that it could happen. One thing I rate at probably better than 50 percent right now is the Democrats dumping the filibuster. They dumped the filibuster. I'm telling you, this is going to be the single most destructive nuclear bomb dropped on Capitol Hill in your lifetime because it will be nothing if they win the presidency in the in the in 2028, less than two years. There will be nothing to stop them from a transformation of America like you've never seen. Before the destruction of our economy, voter integrity. So why did you think we should do it before? Because, ladies and gentlemen, someone's going to have to take responsibility. There's too much confusion about what they call the Uniparty now. I'll describe what I mean in a second. I want to show you something else to back it up to how they're going to go crazy. And the American voters not dumb. They'll figure it out. They always do. Hey, I got to tell you about something I started using before a night out. This is a great Friday read, by the way, right? This is perfectly timed. It's called Z Biotics pre-alcohol. I'm not saying I'm just saying I love the product. For me, it's about enjoying a night with friends, having a few adult beverages and still being ready for everything I plan for the next day. That's why Z Biotics is a part of my routine. Pre-alcohol is the worst first engineered probiotic drink, genetically engineered probiotic drink created by their Ph.D. scientists. It's engineered to help break down an unwanted byproduct of alcohol metabolism. Make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly and enjoy your next day activities. Z Biotics is the best pre-alcoholic drink. It's the best pre-alcoholic drink. It's the more than 15 million bottles. It's earned the trust of thousands, me included. Friday night special for me, Z Biotics. Take it before the holiday season's here. My social calendar and yours probably filling up fast at Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's. Try pre-alcohol for yourself today. You're not satisfied? They'll refund your entire order. It's really that simple. Head on over to Z Biotics dot com slash Bongino. Use code Bongino for 15 percent off your first order. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, prevent any disease or condition. Thank you, Z Biotics. Z Biotics dot com slash Bongino. Check it out. Folks, this is important. They are. There's a strong likelihood the Democrats will scrap the Senate filibuster. The Reader's Digest abstract version of this, it will make if they win the presidency in less than two years, it extremely easy to pass whatever they want. And when I say whatever, I mean a massive confiscatory value added tax, meaning a national sale. tax at every level of consumption. They will destroy the voting system in the country, basically banning voter ID. They will institute Medicare for all, canceling your health insurance plan. You have to go on a government plan. There will be price controls. There will be massive amounts of red tape. They'll be regulating everything from emissions from the backside of cows to your air conditioner and your shower head. It will get ugly. So why would we want that? We wouldn't, but they're going to do it. However, the voters have become confused because when you elect Republicans, they expect Republicans to do stuff like, why didn't we get the SAVE Act? Because of the filibuster. And folks, this endless confusion by voters is explained away by the nothing is happening effect, where people told you, despite evidence compiled about the border, crime, the economy, that things were happening, they didn't sense the change was profound enough. If that's what you want, that's what we should give to people. If you want to see what Democrat governance is going to look like, like I saw in New York City under David Dinkins and Ed Koch, when the city was a freaking killing field, people got tired of it. And we have this shirt. Remember the old shirt? Is it bad enough yet? It gets bad enough when people see what Democrats are really about. And then eventually they turn it around. Yes, there is a whipsaw effect. That's the point. Folks, the problem is the Democrats get what they want anyway. They got care. They got open borders. They get what they want anyway. You can't do big things with the filibuster. You can't. We should have beat them to the punch. They're going to do it anyway. But we can do big things too. You can have a massive change to the tax code, a massive change to that garbage can Obamacare nonsense and Medicare for all and all this stuff. You can have a massive change going forward. And then you would have to take responsibility. You get the House, you get the Senate and majorities. You can pass legislation. You have the presidency. There's no excuse then. You can't blame the filibuster anymore. Oh, we didn't do the Save Act because the filibuster. No, it's not a thing. It's not a thing. They are going to dump it. Don't believe this like, oh, institutionalists are going to save it. They're gone. Joe Manchin's gone. Kyrsten Sinema's gone. They just brought in a lot of these guys. And I stand by everything I said last night on Fox. This guy, I believe, is a serious problem for us. Folks, another critical conversation I said we'd have, but we haven't gotten through, is a lot of the nonsense on X. Yesterday, a big argument erupted on X amongst a lot of people. And I really can't stand the term influencers. I hate it so much. However, we have to live through this in areas. I don't mean this to be condescending to anyone, but I don't just have this show. I ran for office. I was an activist. I ran for office in a couple of states. I've been inside the government, outside the government. I've done radio, TV and digital, and we built a big social media following. None of that is an accident. The reason we've stayed alive for 15 years and grown this show and this program is because we're able to see a around these AstroTurf things. X, Twitter, I love it. I love the free speech direction. But I need you to understand that a lot of what's going on over there, and if you saw it yesterday, you know what I'm talking about. A lot of what was going on over there is paid for. It's not real. I say this because there are way, way too many people falling for AstroTurf campaigns on Twitter where they believe these are real issues voters care about. They don't. You can ask voters in exit polls like, what did you vote on? You'll be stunned to find out that the big things on Twitter are like 50 out of 100 to voters. They care about their wallets. They care about their health care, and they care about their kids' school and streets, safe streets. This is not a mystery. I said in the beginning, keep it simple. There are real people on Twitter. But folks, Twitter, X, a lot of it's not real life. I used to notice this. I would go, you know, my phone when I was working with the Trump administration, my phone, the seventh floor of the FBI building is a skiff. So the phone, stays outside. So, you know, if I didn't return your call or something the last year and we're friends, it's not because I was ignoring you. It's because I'd get out of there at seven o'clock at night, pick up my phone to be a thousand missed calls, and I just lost everything. But I would go home and, you know, I go to sleep early, whatever. And I would just pull up X and look at what's going on. And, you know, we would be out there running around the country, going to field offices, and we weren't hearing any of this stuff. Like, how is this a thing again? Folks, this is how, when you fall for this, AstroTurf campaigns, this is how you wind up voting in Democrats in the state of Texas. I played this yesterday on the radio show, but I want to play it again. It's important. This is the incoming House majority leader in Texas. I never thought I'd say he's a Democrat, obviously. There's a guy named Gene Wu telling you every single thing I've warned you about over the last 15 years I've been running, and don't forget, he's a Democrat. He's a Democrat. He's a Democrat. He's a Democrat. I told you that the Democrats are married to DEI and identity politics because their only goal is to put you in a box they determine. Not your own box. Your box is whatever. I'm a dad. I'm a baseball coach. I'm a neighbor. They don't want that. They want you to identify as black first, or Hispanic, or a union worker, or gay, or LGBTQIA2+, so that they can say, listen, the Republicans hate blacks, and you are black. That's all they want. They don't believe any of this. It's a scam. Here is Gene Wu. This guy's going to be one of the most powerful Democrats in Texas now, politicians in Texas, talking about exactly what I told you. We just have to make you believe you're oppressed, so we're selling you this whole identity politics thing. No, they didn't say that. Listen to yourself. Check this out. Not just Latinos. It's not just Asians. It's not just African Americans. It's everybody. Our country and the forces that be, have spent tremendous time, effort, and money to make sure that those groups are never united, that they always see each other as enemies, as competitors, without ever realizing that they share one thing in common, that their oppressors all are the same. The oppression comes from one place. I always tell people, the day the Latino, African American, Asian, and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning, because we are the majority in this country now. We have the ability to take over this country and to do what is needed for everyone and to make things fair. Justin, he did the meme. He did the meme. He's actually telling you, this Texas Democrat lunatic, that their only goal is to make you believe you're oppressed by sticking in a box. I've only been telling you this for 10 years. What did Warner Wolf say with the videotape? Go back and look. Although there's no tape anymore. Just go back and look at my shows. I can put together a compilation warning you about this exact thing. They don't care about affordability, your wallet, your kid's education, safe streets, the military. They don't care about any of that stuff. They care about telling you Republicans hate you because you're oppressed. He just said it. This is their whole governing ideology. They just won an election. You'd think they'd be happy. Oh, these two were happy. Did you see this clip? Folks, I just want to prepare you. This is not easy to watch. Watch these two lunatics. This very popular podcast, Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan. Have you seen this? Here they are in their podcast, and someone sends in some kind of note on X or elsewhere while they're doing their show that we should, and this is not for kids, but- That they should dig up Charlie Kirk and do it again? So you think the response would be a horror, like that's out of line, that we don't talk like that? No. No, that's not the response. I thought it was about affordability or something. Watch this. Dad Morrow says, we're digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again. I'm zooming in to the fox. No comment. No comment. No comment on that. Other than he was shot by somebody that was super MAGA family. He was shot by a MAGA person. Right. So do that with what you will. White person, white MAGA family. Ugh. You know, as I said in the beginning of the show, political revolutions happen fast. Do you, if you're a Democrat who listens to this trash, you really believe that's what Americans showed up at the polls to vote for? Dig up Charlie Kirk and do it again and laughing about it? I mean, how many times on this show do we say, just so we're absolutely crystal clear with people, there is no end game in political violence. All you get is anarchy, death, and destruction. Unfortunately, the other side of the political aisle does not subscribe to that ideology. They think it's funny. Folks, yesterday, I saw this video. It's the gunman. I saw this as well. I just want to end on kind of a different note today because listen, the country's got to go on. And ultimately, it's up to the government. It's up to the government. It's up to you when there's chaos all around you. And it's been a chaotic week. And you've got lunatics talking about jailing ICE, sending Trump to jail, Hegseth to jail, cash to jail, me to jail, whatever. When the chaos is all around you, it's ultimately up to you. And that was the essence of my, hey, get prepared thing that went viral. I'm honestly not sure why it went viral. I talk about it all the time. I don't get it, but I hope it incentivizes people to get prepared. Fantastic. But one of the things I can't recommend, to you enough, is to acquire a firearm, acquire appropriate ammunition, and to appropriately train yourself. It's not good enough to get one. It's your absolute constitutional right, which I will defend to the end of time. But it's your responsibility. It's a difference. Responsibility, you know, keep it secure, number one, but also to learn how to use it. I'm not telling you you've got to be a dev guru guy, or you've got to go out there and be secret service counter-assault team. But you should learn the basics with a firearm like, how to stay out of like a fatal funnel. You can look that up. How to pie off on a doorway or an entrance. These are not really, they're not super complicated. You don't have to be in shape or do 20 pushups before you do it. They're just simple concepts on how to use your firearm tactically. But folks, stay strapped because things can break bad like that. Did you guys see this video? This attacker walks into the city bank and shoots this woman. He's just this lunatic. Here's this, I believe, a Marine, not former Marine, but Marine. He's security. Here he is with the firearm. Notice how he uses the hallway. Notice how he uses his tactical advantage. And he keeps his line. He doesn't back away at all. But this just shows the importance of what I was talking about the other day with be prepared. That could have been a whole lot worse. Nobody wants to have to engage in a use of force or a lethal use of force situation. But no one wants to be on the receiving end. The one either. Acquire a firearm whenever you're comfortable with. Learn how to store it. Learn how to use it because these things can break bad fast. And thank you from my audience, too. I know I can speak for you on this one, for your heroism to that individual. There's no former Marines. I was told that multiple times. So thank you. Some more good news. We have another winner to announce in our 1776 contest.

Summary:

Dan Bongino delivers a politically charged message centered on hope, not despair, using real-life examples to argue that political revolutions happen quickly and decisively. He traces the roots of the modern Republican resurgence to the Tea Party movement, which erupted just 30 days after Barack Obama’s inauguration, following a wave of Democratic losses in the 2010 midterms. Bongino asserts that voters were misled by Democratic promises of affordability and economic relief, only to find that once in power, the party pushed radical policies like Medicare for All, border chaos, and the targeting of ICE agents—actions that contradict voter intent.

He highlights the economic rebound with 165,000 new jobs, calling it a critical contrast to Democratic rhetoric. A core theme is institutional vulnerability: Bongino warns that Democrats are likely to eliminate the Senate filibuster, enabling sweeping, unregulated legislation. He also criticizes the use of paid social media content, emphasizing that real voter concerns—like healthcare, schools, and wages—far outweigh viral political narratives.

Ultimately, Bongino urges a return to simple, actionable messaging focused on economic freedom, personal choice, and national security, arguing that the next two years will see a decisive political realignment driven by public backlash against Democratic overreach. He concludes by reinforcing that true change requires active, grassroots participation, not passive acceptance of political narratives.

FAQs

He means that hope should be grounded in real evidence and historical examples, not just emotion. He references Victor Frankl’s book, showing how people in concentration camps survived not by giving up, but by holding onto hope, which is backed by observable facts.

The Tea Party began just 30 days after Barack Obama was inaugurated, when a speech by Rick Santelli on CNBC criticized his economic policies. This sparked widespread anger and led to a political realignment, marking the start of a major conservative resurgence.

He cites a Wall Street Journal report showing 165,000 new jobs were created in October—nearly three times the expected number—indicating strong economic growth, which he contrasts with the Democrats' promises of economic decline.

He points to historical examples, like the 2010 midterm elections where Democrats lost 63 House seats and 700 state legislative seats, showing that rapid shifts in public opinion and voter behavior can lead to dramatic political realignments in a short time.

He argues that Democrats ran on promises like affordability and healthcare, but once in office, they moved toward radical policies like Medicare for All, targeting ICE agents, and dismantling the filibuster—creating a stark contrast with the economic and border security successes of the Trump administration.

No, he believes they will fail due to their inconsistent messaging and radical proposals. He claims voters already rejected these policies, and that the next election will reveal a significant backlash against the party's direction.
