TONIGHT AND LAST A DAY AND A
HALF.
GUYS, BACK TO YOU IN NEW YORK.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE
LIVE REPORT.
>> Steve: LET’S BRING IN DAN
BONGINO.
>> GOOD MORNING, GUYS.
>> Steve: YOU’VE GOT TO ADMIRE
THE PEOPLE OF MARIUPOL.
RUSSIA SAID, WE’LL GIVE YOU
UNTIL 5:00 IN THE MORNING TO
COME OUT WITH THE WHITE FLAG AND
SURRENDER OR WE’RE GOING TO KILL
ALL OF YOU.
THEY SAID, NOPE, DROP DEAD.
>> YEAH, THEY GAVE THE
DOUBLE-BARRELLED MIDDLE FINGER
THERE.
LISTEN, IT’S WHAT I HAVE BEEN
SAYING FOR THREE WEEKS ON THE
SHOW NOW.
THERE’S A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN TAKING TERRITORY AND
OCCUPYING TERRITORY.
IT’S NOT THE SAME THING.
WE HAVE SEEN THIS -- I MEAN,
RUSSIA -- THE FORMER SOVIET
UNION HAS EXPERIENCE WITH THIS.
THEY STEAM ROLLED INTO
AFGHANISTAN, HAD REALLY VERY
LITTLE RESISTANCE WHATSOEVER
WHEN YOU GO BACK AND READ THE
HISTORY ON IT.
BUT LOOK WHAT HAPPENED.
IT TURNED INTO A SUICIDE MISSION
AS THE YEARS PILED UP AND THE
LOSSES ACCUMULATED AS THEY TRIED
TO OCCUPY THE SAME TERRITORY
THEY TOOK, WITH AIR QUOTES.
NOW YOU HAVE THE MORE ORGANIZED
POPULATION WITH KIND OF A BETTER
SENSE OF COHESIVE NATIONAL
IDENTITY AND YOU THINK YOU’RE
GOING TO WALK INTO THEIR TOWNS
AND CITIES AND SAY, HEY, LOOK,
WE’RE HERE, EVERYBODY GENUFLECT
AND GET DOWN ON THE KNOW.
IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
I’M NOT CLAIMING TO BE SOME
FUTURE TELLER HERE.
ANYBODY WHO HAS HAD MY
EXPERIENCE IN NATIONAL SECURITY
OR MILITARY TACTICS, GUYS, SAID
THE SAME THING.
OCCUPYING THE PLACE AND TAKING
IT ARE TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT
THINGS AND PUTIN IS FINDING THAT
OUT NOW THE HARD WAY.
>>
>> Steve: HE’S NOT OCCUPYING,
HE’S NOT TAKING THE PLACE.
HE’S GOT ONE TOWN.
THERE’S ACTUALLY PEOPLE IN THE
STREETS OF -- PEOPLE IN THE
STREETS PROTESTING THEIR
EXISTENCE, SCREAMING AT THE
SOLDIERS AS JUST GET OUT OF MY
HOUSE.
LET ME ASK YOU, IF YOU’RE
ZELENSKY, DO YOU THINK TIME IS
ON HIS SIDE, IF RUSSIA IS BLED
OUT, HE CAN GET THEM OUT OF HIS
COUNTRY OR DOES HE SAY, I HAVE
TO STOP IT HERE AND --
>> THERE ARE REALLY NO GOOD
OPTIONS.
THERE ARE ONLY A SERIES OF LESS,
BAD MALICIOUS OPTIONS.
GOING FORWARD, WHAT HAPPENS?
LET’S SAY THERE’S A PEACE
AGREEMENT TOMORROW, HE GIVES UP
CERTAIN PORTIONS OF EASTERN
UKRAINE AND SOUTHERN UKRAINE,
HOW LONG IS IT BEFORE PUTIN OR
POTENTIAL REPLACEMENT FOR PUTIN
DOES THE SAME THING WHEN THEY
GET IN POLITICAL TROUBLE IN
RUSSIA AND ENGAGING IN ANOTHER
ATTACK IN UKRAINE?
I MEAN --
>> IT WILL BE SUCH A DISASTER.
I WOULD SAY HE WOULDN’T DO THIS
--
>> I DON’T KNOW, BRIAN.
WE SAID THE SAME THING AFTER THE
SOVIET -- AFGHANISTAN -- MAYBE
THEY LEARNED THEIR LESSON THERE.
THAT DIDN’T HAPPEN.
>> Brian: THEY DISSOLVED
AFTERWARDS.
>> THEN THEY ARE BACK IN
UKRAINE.
YOU’VE GOT ANOTHER LEADER, SAME
PROBLEM.
HERE’S MY ISSUE.
WHAT’S YOUR OTHER OPTION?
YOUR ONLY OTHER OPTION WOULD BE
TO DO SOME KIND OF SOFT DEFENSE
AGREEMENT LIKE WE TRIED IN 1994.
THAT DIDN’T WORK.
OR ADMIT THEM INTO NATO AND YOU
HAVE POTENTIALLY A SEVERE
ESCALATION.
I’M NOT HERE TO GIVE GOOD NEWS
AND BE A PHONY.
THERE’S ONLY TEMPORARY BAD
OPTIONS.
>> Ainsley: DAN, LET’S TALK
ABOUT HUNTER BIDEN BECAUSE THE
NEW YORK TIMES SAID THEY DIDN’T
AUTHENTICATE HIS LAPTOP.
IT WAS HIS LAPTOP.
GOP IS TALKING ABOUT POSSIBLY
PROBING HIM AND PROBING THIS
AFTER THE MIDTERMS.
DOES THAT HAPPEN?
AND WHY AREN’T DEMOCRATS TALKING
ABOUT THIS?
OTHER MEDIA OUTLETS AREN’T
TALKING ABOUT -- THERE’S A
SURVEY THAT SAID THE MAJORITY OF
DEMOCRATS DON’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT
THIS STORY.
>> THERE’S A REASON THEY WANT
THIS HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP TO GO
AWAY.
THE MEDIA DOESN’T CARE ABOUT
HUNTER BIDEN.
THEY CARE ABOUT PROTECTING
DEMOCRATS.
LET’S GET THAT STRAIGHT.
OK?
THEY THROW HUNTER BIDEN
OVERBOARD TOMORROW IF THEY
THOUGHT IT WOULD SAVE JOE BIDEN.
THE REASON THEY NEED THE LAPTOP
STORY TO GO AWAY IS BECAUSE
UKRAINE HAS BEEN A PIGGYBACK FOR
SWAMP RATS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
POLITICAL AISLE FOR DECADES.
IF YOU WERE PRO-RUSSIA OR
PRO-EUROPEAN AND UKRAINE, YOU
COULD MAKE A FORTUNE AND MAKE
AMERICAN LOBBYISTS AND FORMER
POLITICIANS AND SWAMP RATS A
FORTUNE BY LOBBYING CONGRESS FOR
EITHER SIDE.
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT.
HUNTER BIDEN AND HIS JOB WAS
SYMPTOMATIC OF A SWAMP PROBLEM.
DONALD TRUMP DID LOOK INTO THIS.
THAT WAS THE ESSENCE OF THE
IMPEACHMENT THING SAYING WHAT’S
GOING ON THERE AND THEY SAID IT
WAS A QUID PRO QUO.
DO YOU THINK IT’S A COINCIDENCE
THE EXACT SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE
WHO WERE INVOLVED IN THE
COCOLLUSION HOAX WERE THE SAME
PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE
IMPEACHMENT HOAX?
WHEN THE COLLUSION HOAX DIDN’T
WORK, THEY MOVED TO THE
IMPEACHMENT HOAX.
IT’S THE SAME PEOPLE.
I’M GOING TO COVER IT IN DETAIL
USING LEFT-WING POLITICAL
REPORTS ON MY PODCAST.
THERE’S NOT A CONSPIRACY THEORY.
THEY HAVE ACTUALLY HAD MEETINGS
AT THE WHITE HOUSE AFTERWARDS
WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE.
THAT’S WHY THEY NEED THE LAPTOP
TO GO AWAY, BECAUSE IT’S
SYMPTOMATIC OF A LARGER PROBLEM,
SWAMP RATS MAKING MONEY IN
UKRAINE FOR EITHER SIDE.
>> IT IS CURIOUS AFTER 17 MONTHS
OF RADIO SILENCE THE NEW YORK
TIMES SUDDENLY ADDRESSES IT TO
FIX THEIR HISTORY WITH THE
STORY.
>> THERE’S A REASON FOR THAT,
STEVE.
EITHER HUNTER BIDEN IS ABOUT TO
GET INDICT AND THEY ARE TRYING
TO MASSAGE THE STORY EARLY ON OR
THE NEW YORK TIMES DECIDED JOE
BIDEN, THE POLLING IS TOO BAD,
THAT THEY NEED TO SEND A SIGNAL
WITH WINK AND NOD HE NEEDS TO GO
AWAY BEFORE THE NEXT ELECTION.
>> WE SAID THE SAME THING ON
FRIDAY.
WHY DID THEY SUDDENLY SNAP OUT
OF HIBERNATION?
WE WANT TO GO TO COLORADO REAL
QUICK?
IF YOU HAVE GOT KIDS IN CHERRY
CREEK SCHOOL DISTRICT, WHEN THEY
GRADUATE, THEY WILL NEVER BE THE
VALEDICTORIAN IF THEY GET READY
GRADES AND THEY WILL DO AWAY
WITH CLASS RANK.
>> Ainsley: WE WERE SAYING WE’RE
OLD SCHOOL.
I NEVER WAS JEALOUS OF THE
VALEDICTORIAN.
I USED TO THINK GOD GAVE THAT
PERSON GIFTS.
WONDERFUL.
PRAISED THAT PERSON.
I COULDN’T WAIT TO SEE WHICH
SCHOOL OR HE SHE WAS GOING TO GO
TO.
TALKING ABOUT BRIAN, BUT I
DIDN’T WANT TO EMBARRASS YOU.
>> Steve: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IT’S GOING AWAY.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT? >> WE KIND OF LAUGH AT THE
>> WE KIND OF LAUGH AT THE
STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTIST NON
NONSENSE ALL THE TIME.
MERITOCRACY IS NOT THEIR THING.
THEY BELIEVE EVERYBODY SHOULD BE
EQUAL.
YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT.
TO TREAT EVERYBODY EQUALLY USING
THINGS LIKE GETTING RID OF MERIT
AND OTHER THINGS, RIGHT, TO
TREAT EVERYBODY EQUALLY, YOU
HAVE TO TREAT EVERYONE
UNEQUALLY, RIGHT?
IF BRIAN WORKS HARDER THAN
AINSLEY -- NOT SUGGESTING
THAT -- AND THEN BRIAN DOESN’T
REAP THE REWARDS, THEN BRIAN IS
BEING TREATED UNEQUALLY.
THAT GOES FOR ME TOO.
THAT GOES FOR THE
VALEDICTORIAN --
>> Ainsley: BRIAN DOES HAVE
THREE SHOWS ON FOX.
DO YOU THINK HE WOULD MAKE MORE
THAN WE DO?
>> THIS GUY HAS GOT LIKE 25 --
HOSTS FOR INGRAM ON FRIDAY
NIGHT.
DOES THIS GUY GO TO SLEEP?
>> Brian: THIS IS NOT THE
TALKING POINT WE’RE SUPPOSED TO
BE HAVING.
>> THE POINT, BRIAN, IS THEY
WILL NOT MAKE YOU THE FOX NEWS
VALEDICTORIAN.
>> GOOD POINT, STEVE.
TO TREAT EVERYBODY EQUALLY, YOU
HAVE TO TREAT THEM UNEQUALLY
BECAUSE THOSE WHO WORK HARDER --
>> RIGHT.
WE LIKE TO KEEP SCORE IN THIS
COUNTRY, EVEN IF WE LOSE.
EVEN IF YOU LOSE.
YOU LEARN AND YOU MOVE ON.
HOW DO YOU KNOW HOW YOU’RE DOING
IF THERE’S NO WAY TO KEEP SCORE
AND YOUR CLASS RANK I THOUGHT
WAS A FUNDAMENTAL WAY TO KEEP
SCORE.
IT LEVELS EVERYTHING OUT
DEPENDING ON HOW HARD YOUR
SCHOOL IS.
>> I’M NOT KIDDING.
I LEARNED MORE FROM THE LOSSES,
WHETHER IN POLITICS.
DIDN’T GET INTO MEDICAL SCHOOL.
I WENT TO BUSINESS SCHOOL.
I LEARNED MORE FROM THE
THINGS -- NOT ALWAYS THE WIN.
>> ME PARTICULAR, I HAVE NEVER
FAILED.
SO I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN
EXACTLY.
BUT OTHER PEOPLE.
>> IT’S TRUE.
IT’S WHY I LOOK UP TO YOU SO
