Dan Bongino
Dan Bongino, welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino.

Biden should replace Kamala Harris with Hillary Clinton. Washington Post columnist suggests. Now a Washington Post columnist is saying this for a reason.

The Washington Post and the Democrat Party are essentially one big unhappy family. It's like the bizarro world Partridge family. You know, Bizarro Superman. You know, the Partridge family. Imagine the Partridge family is happy unit had a bizarro partridge family. It was always miserable. That's a Democrat party, okay? The Washington Post is part of it. They're not writing this by accident. They're writing it for a reason.

I'm not gonna.

Unidentified Speaker
I don't want to sound like an ass.

Dan Bongino
I know you know this, but learn to read the signs and the signals. What happens is this is how the Democrat symbiote works. Media, activists, politicians.

Someone in the Democrat party gets an idea. Obama, Pelosi, all of them. They float the trial balloon to someone at the Washington Post first to see what the reaction is. They're not writing this article by accident. There is not a chance in hell it happens all the time. They float these trial balloons second.

They.

Second reason. So, number one, they think Hillary won and got robbed. Okay? Number two, let me make my case. Let me make my case.

They get to keep Kamala Harris as the vp.

They get Kamala Harris, the only person she may step aside for because she's the DEi hire. How do we know that? I didn't say it. Biden said it. He said he was hiring a black female because of these diversity considerations. It was already baked into the cake. They cannot get rid of Kamala Harris, and Kamala Harris is not going to. They're not getting rid of her. She's either going to be the VP of the presidential nominee. Everybody got me? She's not going on the Supreme Court.

Please stop the nonsense. Kamala Harris does not give a shit about the Supreme Court. She wants to be the president or at a minimum. She'll take VP again. That's it. Period. Okay. She's not going anywhere voluntarily. I can almost guarantee you the only person she takes a backseat for is Hillary Clinton. Not a chance in freaking hell. She's taken a backseat for Gavin Newsom.

Unidentified Speaker
I heard they don't even like each other.

Dan Bongino
She's definitely not taking a backseat for Josh Shapiro. She is 100% not taking a backseat for JB pritzker or another name, a friend of mine in Maryland, throughout. The governor of Maryland, Westmore. Big rising star. Fine. She's not taking a backseat. She'll have Westmore as VP, but never as. She's never going to take a backseat to him. No way.

I think she may for Hillary Clinton.

Here's another reason, ladies and gentlemen, in the most ironic twist in presidential history, avida.

Unidentified Speaker
Am I convincing you at all yet?

Dan Bongino
A little bit.

Listen, this woman over here is like the female Danbladgino. She's got the strongest personality ever. Sometimes she just will tell you no just because you said yes. So the fact that we breached this Rubicon here, and she's already. I'm almost. This is like a big moment here. It's. The relationship is growing. I know. I knew I hired the right person. I'm a little bit. I'm going to hear more evidence.

They are having a really hard time with the black vote. No. News flash. Donald Trump, we now know in multiple polls, has been smoking it with the black vote. He's up to 20% in some polls. In the greatest electoral irony of all, Kamala Harris is not helping him. Not one bit. Matter of fact, the administration with the lowest level of black support in 50 years has a black vice president.

It's not working, brothers. It's not working. Why? Because I believe in freaking facts and data.

Go to this hill article. Who is popular with black voters?

Oh, shit. The Clintons again. Evidence, evidence. Give me the evidence. Here's Juan Williams. Evita, you know Juan Williams, right?

Unidentified Speaker
Fox. You and I do some work. Fox.

Dan Bongino
Juan Williams, a Democrat. You see him on Fox, right. Here's a Hill article by Juan Williams from 2023. Headline. Joe Biden is our third black president.

He is. No, that's the actual headline. You can see it on screen.

He notes, 25 years ago, novelist Toni Morrison.

Unidentified Speaker
You know Toni Morrison, very famous, famously.

Dan Bongino
Labeled Bill Clinton the first black president.

Go look at the black vote.

Unidentified Speaker
Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton got.

I don't care if you believe it or not.

Dan Bongino
It's a fact.

Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton absolutely destroyed.

Unidentified Speaker
It with the black vote. Apparently Kamala Harris does not.

Dan Bongino
Why?

Unidentified Speaker
I don't know, brothers. I'm not a psychoanalyst.

Dan Bongino
I'm just telling you that even left wingers, if I haven't convinced you yet, Evita, that Kamala Harris is not going to rebuild the Democrat coalition they need, which is a 90% plus black vote, 60% plus hispanic vote, young women, suburban moms and young voters.

Maybe you should check with Politico.

Maya King why black voters never flock to Kamala Harris that's that. Amy Dan, your crazy counter with Justin DBS folks.

Unidentified Speaker
I did some this is my birthday, December 4, 2019.

Dan Bongino
Why black voters never flocked to Kamala Harris when she ran for president. Remember before she was a VP?

She couldn't. Black voters didn't even like her.

Dan Bongino
Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are not the answer. Why? Because they're not the answer. They're down in every swing state.

Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket is a bigger loser than Joe Biden. Kamala Harris making my case again is not going to take and settle for the number two spot without making a big incident about it.

Unidentified Speaker
Blaming race misogyny, all this stuff.

Dan Bongino
Unless it's either another woman or someone who the Democrats can go to her and say hey, she was robbed. It's her shot.

Unidentified Speaker
We're just asking you one more time to play second fiddle.

Dan Bongino
Kamala Harris looks like an idiot if it's Gavin Newsom. She looks like an idiot if it's JB pritzker. She doesn't look like an idiot to the Democrats with Hillary Clinton, who can make the case to the donors. Hey, we were robbed.

Unidentified Speaker
It's her shot.

Dan Bongino
Among validated voters in 2016, wide gap among whites by. Look at Hillary Clinton. Just like I says, cleaning up.

Yeah, it's insane.

Unidentified Speaker
It's exactly what I, this is exactly what I said.

Dan Bongino
Look at these numbers. Cleaning up.

Unidentified Speaker
Evita, have I convinced you at all?

Dan Bongino
She wants to know when they tell.

Unidentified Speaker
Joey's got to go. I know that.

Dan Bongino
I don't know. I've got to guess.

Unidentified Speaker
It's going to be before the convention.

Dan Bongino
I don't know. But I can tell you right now, the folks are getting, the reason I'm talking about this today is the hand grabbing incident off the stage with Obama. Forget about the story's not Joe Biden's mentally unwell. That's not a story. We know that.

The story is that Obama, I'm telling you, did it on purpose to tell the donors. When this guy's ready to go, he knows who the boss is.

I want you to watch this quick clip. Here's a rapper from Detroit. Don't downplay this stuff again. I don't take my voting advice from entertainers and sports stars. I do my own homework and you shouldn't either.

But I'm asking you as a friend, don't disregard this stuff. These people have some cultural capital you and I don't have. Here's this Detroit rapper on Trump asked a question on camera there. This stuff makes a difference to people. This is why Hillary Clinton is the.

Unidentified Speaker
Only person who could possibly fill in right now. Check this out.

Unidentified Rapper
I don't agree with everything about president Trump. I don't agree with 100% everything that anybody does. However, I'm not voting based off of personal feelings. I'm voting based off personal experience. Experience. I've experienced Trump as president. I've experienced Joe Biden as president. And I like the way I like Trump as president more.

Dan Bongino
You guys think I'm crazy. Let us know in the chat.

Unidentified Speaker
Believe me, we read it.

I'm just telling you, man, this, don't discount this idea.

Dan Bongino
It's hard for me to predict what democrats are going to do because they're nuts. And obviously there's always a chance Joe Biden doesn't step aside because he just doesn't want to. Which we know Doctor Jill Biden may say, we're staying in it. You guys can all kiss my ass. I can't force. What are you going to do, handcuff him and pull him out of the White House?

But if he does decide to leave, don't be surprised at all if Hills.

Unidentified Speaker
Makes a, makes her way back into politics.

Dan Bongino
She loves power more than Joe Biden. And here's the problem. That rap, the rapper guy there you just saw in Detroit talking on camera.

Unidentified Speaker
About why he likes Trump.

Dan Bongino
Here's the issue that Democrats have, in addition to the racial problem they're having, where black voters that are traditionally, you know, use the Democrat party as a vehicle for power. And now saying, this isn't a vehicle for power, it's a vehicle for shit.

They're not doing anything for us. They're having another problem, too. It's what that guy just said and he nailed it. This is the first election in decades where there's no speculation involved. Let me say simply what I mean. Precision here matters.

There isn't any. What would a Trump administration look like? So I got to take a chance on it. Like in 2016, everybody remembers what the Trump administration looks like because it just happened. You were richer. We weren't involved in a bunch of foreign wars. There wasn't a Ukraine invasion. Inflation was 1.4% when he left office, Trump, everybody remembers that.

The COVID stuff, yeah, was a mess. We get it. But Biden was even worse. And the Democrats were the one who locked them. Were the ones who locked down stuff even longer. I'm not absolving Republicans of issues. I'm just telling you the Democrats were even worse.

We didn't have a border with millions of people coming in monthly where everybody knows what it was like. There's no need to speculate. Think about that for a second. This is not a small thing I'm trying to explain to you. You're taking a chance. Just go back to the last few elections. Romney, Obama, everybody thought Obama was going to lose. You guys remember this year old, you remember that election? Everybody. I'm telling you, I was running and people were telling me, I'll saw off my left leg. If Obama wins, there's no way would Obamacare guy's going to win. And he pulls it out. How? Because Romney was just a bad candidate. And everybody was like, is Romney any better?

Nobody has that problem with Trump. They lived it. They were like, yes, it's better.

You think this stuff's going to help. By the way, he did it again yesterday at the amnesty event.

Unidentified Speaker
You have this clip. Listen to this.

Dan Bongino
He did it again. Here's Biden. But who is going to vote for this? The guy is mentally not there. He's at the event yesterday. Is this another cheap fake? Here's Biden. Doesn't even know his DHS secretary's name. You don't have to cheap fake anything. That's the irony. All I've got to do is show you the uncut, unedited, real Joe Biden.

Unidentified Speaker
Because the truth is scarier than fiction. Check this out.

Dan Bongino
Congress and Homeland security secretary.

He's not kidding. There's no kidding to put aside. He doesn't remember his DHS secretary's name. There's no kidding to put aside. That's the real Joe Biden. Other cheap fake. Kareem John Pierre dumbass. Is that another cheap fake? Did that not happen? What is the White House transcript of that look like?

Unidentified Speaker
And my DHS secretary, what is that?

Dan Bongino
How did exactly do you translate that in the Biden. Can we see the transcript, what you wrote in there? He doesn't even know the DHS secretary's name.

He probably thinks he's the HHS secretary. Javier Bakaria.

Folks, nothing's going right for this guy.

And the lawfare attacks on Donald Trump have only made him appear like a martyr and a sympathetic figure to people who feel alienated by this entire system. Listen, man, I'm not a freaking plato, and I'm not here to be anyone's philosopher or Sigmund Freud type psychiatrist with the cocaine and all that.

Unidentified Speaker
If you've studied the space, you know what I mean, right?

Dan Bongino
But Evita wrote a piece.

Unidentified Speaker
It was really good. I don't just say this because it's at bongino.com dot.

If she wrote it to federalists, believe me, I'll be putting it up here, too. But Evita wrote a really great piece yesterday about kind of the psychology and sociology of why Biden, the lawfare attacks, the police state tactics against Donald Trump, why they're backfiring.

Dan Bongino
It's worth your time. I'm going to just, here's one snippet of it, but it's very good. It's at bangino.com.

Unidentified Speaker
It'S in the newsletter.

Dan Bongino
It's called Biden will live to regret.

Unidentified Speaker
The day he made Trump an outlaw.

Dan Bongino
And she noticed something that I hadn't brought up and I want to bring up now because she's so right.

You notice how in many of these westerns, you know, back in the day, the sheriff appears to be the upstanding guy.

Unidentified Speaker
Like, think about the movie unforgiven with Clint Eastwood. My top five favorite movies of all time. We all got it coming, kid.

Dan Bongino
My favorite line ever.

Unidentified Speaker
Believe me, we all do got it coming.

Dan Bongino
The sheriff in him appears to be upstanding, but is actually crooked, willing to.

Unidentified Speaker
Accept bribes and create alliances with criminals. You've seen some of these westerns.

Dan Bongino
The corrupt sheriff archetype is a symbol of power, greed, and failed institutions.

Sound familiar?

The very thing that quintessential american heroes we liked in these spaghetti westerns fought for.

Unidentified Speaker
She writes, I remind you, Americans are adventurers. Our ancestors were risk takers who were willing to sacrifice the robot comforts for a chance at something either wonderful or disastrous. In the new world, where cowboys, conquistadors, pilgrims and pioneers, the very inception of America, our founding, was a rebellion.

A rebellion against the status quo in pursuit of freedom. Yes, that is 100% accurate.

Dan Bongino
People who came to the United States, there was something in their gene code, I don't know what it is, that produced brain neurotransmitter compounds that said, you know what, king of England, you motherfucker, we're leaving immigrants from all over the world. My grandparents from Italy, they didn't like it. They wanted freedom. They wanted to come here and they said, this sucks. I'm doing something else. Got on a boat right on over.

And it's been just embedded, imbued into the american collective gene code here. This sense of rebellion against faux authority. Not moral authority, but faux authority.

Stately authority rather than heavenly authority.

And when they see Joe Biden, this decaying mass of broken down neural brain tissue, putting his political opponent in front of a bunch of Star chamber Democrat judges, trying them with fake crimes, why? I mean, is it a mystery? Donald Trump is now winning the election. The Dan Bongino show.
