First up today, we talked with a really terrific, spot-on election analyst.

I could say that even more conclusively after the election, his predictions came true. His name is Eric Daherty, one of the best analysts in the country about exactly what happened in each state. You're going to want to listen this in.

We had this gentleman on the other day, and I've really come to enjoy his commentary on Twitter. It turns out some of his predictions, as a matter of fact, most of them were absolutely spot on. He's a political analyst, works with Florida Voice News, does a great job. Eric Daherty. Eric, welcome back to the show. Thanks for joining us the day after a momentous election day.

Thanks for your time.

Hey, Dan. I'm just glad that we finally had an election night. It's way different from 2020. Everything went just as I expected, as you mentioned. And yeah, it's definitely a good day.

What was You can follow him, by the way, on X. He's at Eric with a C-L-Daw.

Short for Daurdi, D-A-U-G-H.

Give him a follow. Great guy. Eric, what was your biggest surprise last night? I mean, I shouldn't say you actually predicted most of it, so maybe there weren't any. But what was the one thing that left you scratching your head a little bit where you thought, Man, I maybe didn't see that one coming.

Well, first of all, all the surprises went in Donald Trump's direction. There was no surprise against him. I We can walk through some of the surprises. I guess some of them may not be so surprising. Obviously, Florida, we were getting drops early, and that was some of the only results we had early on in the night. I expected Trump to win Florida, but I I was watching, and I believe you and I discussed this before the election, I was watching some of these counties like Duval up in Jacksonville and the Tampa Bay area. I kept saying, I said, even though Florida swung to the right last election, those counties went left. I said, These are suburb counties. These are more urban counties. And Trump was blowing them out. He was winning them. He won Miami Dade by 11 points. I said, No Republican has won Miami Dade without the presidency. That has panned out. So not so much of a surprise, but he was just blowing Florida out of the water. But I think the big one, and this really threw a lot of people for a loop. I'm not sure if you were following this, Dan, but we got a drop out of Loudoun County, Virginia.

It's, I think, the richest county in the United States, very college-educated. And I think it was a nine-point shift. It was like 95 % reporting Trump plus nine from 2020. When that happened, that was the moment. And this was early in the night, mind you. This was, I think, 8:00, 8:30. It was something like that. Everyone saw that. X was blowing up. Everyone was like, Yeah, I have Trump is swinging this county by nine points, he probably has just won this election. The other surprising thing, a little bit later in the night, this was after Trump was already clearly going to win New Jersey. I don't know if you were paying attention to New Jersey.

Eric, I don't mean to interrupt you. You know why I was paying attention to New Jersey? Because you were telling producer Jim, Pay attention to New Jersey. That's why we were... Go ahead. That's why we were paying attention. Go ahead.

Yeah, New Jersey. Current results is only Harris plus five. Can you believe that? Harris plus five. She's supposed to win it by 5.4 points. Again, that was a double-digit win for Biden comfortably. And we're seeing a bit of a the alignment happening. Now, one thing that I would like to touch on that was not so much of a surprise was Virginia. The early vote, we didn't have party, we didn't have the party data, we had modeling, but the turnout in the rural areas were And what the belief was is Trump was going to get his 2016 Virginia. Therefore, that would bode well for North Carolina and Pennsylvania. So not so much a surprise there. But I think just seeing it pan out, seeing that drop come in for Trump in Loudoun County, the richest county in the United States, a county you would think if Paris was doing so well among white suburbanites, would not swing double digits to Trump. I think that might have one of the most decisive moments of the night.

Eric, I'm going to tell you, Florida Voice News is lucky to have you.

So you ever need a job?

I'm going back looking through your Twitter feed. Man, you were spot on. You pretty much accurately called. Some others did, too, but very few, that Nevada was going to be competitive. And a lot of people, even friends of mine who are really good posters, said, The Democrat machine is really, really strong in Nevada. I'm not so sure. But nothing's really definitive in Nevada yet. I'm going to get to Sam Brown there in a second because that's important. But you nailed that. Was it the early voting numbers or what was it about Nevada, Clark County?

Well, nationwide, it was the early vote. But looking at Nevada, it was puzzling that John Rolston predicted... I mean, of course, his prediction was a 0.3 point Harris win, which I guess is effectively a tie. I mean, you would be waiting probably a week to find that out. It wasn't necessarily that, but all of the early voting analysis was, this is really bad for Democrats. The GOP had a firewall of 40,000 votes heading into the election. There was a blip on election day where Clark County dems were slightly outvoting Republicans, and that spuked a lot of people's chances for Trump in Nevada. But about half an hour later, the rurals came in. Again, Just as many of us were saying, the roles came in and GOP expanded its lead. I think it was clear that when you were looking at this early voting data, the GOP just had a firewall there. It's a change election. There's no way she was going to thrash with independent voters, no matter what some of the polls said. And lo and behold, we have 92 % in, it looks like, but Trump is up by around 60,000 voters. And that checks out with the turnout advantage the GOP had.

I think the big thing was some of the polling we had before Harris got in. Obviously, once she got in, you had a lot of response bias. She had that honeymoon period. So that, I think, tainted polling for the remainder of the election. But early voting was another big one. And it looks like that panned out to be true.

Man, Eric, I don't know how I found you. I think it was my buddy Drew Steele was retweeting you, who I follow. And it's like, this is my the best find on Twitter, your account I've ever had. He said, @EricLDaw, shot for Daordy. Your analysis, I'm scrolling back, has just been so incredible. And last night, our show, we had called North Carolina and Georgia way before a lot of the networks, and we did it based on you and a few other people we were talking to. You would What did you notice really early North Carolina and Georgia. I think it was almost like by eight o'clock, we're out of reach, and networks were waiting for 10 o'clock. What did you see there? Was it exit polling? Was it exit polling combined with early voting data? Was it the minority vote wasn't panning out for Kamalaris? What did you see there?

Yeah, it was pretty much all of it we were getting. Here's the thing about how these elections fall. I was looking at the New York Times needle throughout the night, which panned out to be pretty accurate. So that was something that I was looking at. It's puzzling because a lot of the networks were really holding out. I know that every network has its own way of doing things. But what I noticed is, yeah, a lot of these analysts on X were calling these races, these very small analysts relative to cable news, were calling these races early. And the reason for that is pretty simple to know. Once you have the data where the vote is coming from, she was just underperforming. They were dropping these mail-in ballots. When a lot of the Atlanta Metro area started coming in, we didn't have the worlds yet. It's like, this is obvious. It's done. Pennsylvania- No, that's right. When Pittsburgh came in. She underperformed the mail by, I think, 10 to 20 points. And it was weird because a lot of Democrats were like, Whoa, she won the mail 70, 30. It's like Biden won that 75, 25.

That's a 10-point shift or whatever the exact number was. So once we got these early vote drops, it was just the writing was on the wall. And yeah, I definitely couldn't do it alone. There were a lot of other analysts on X posting about it, but I think it was a team effort. And this is a big win, I think, for independent journalism and covering this election.

Oh, my gosh.

Huge win.

Seth, Keshel, others. You're right. You're a very humble guy. Of course, it wasn't just... I said that today, too. A lot of us with microphones and radio shows, people are thanking us. And believe me, I deeply appreciate it. But folks, this was the Scott Pressler, the independent journalists out there. I mean, hundreds of thousands of people contributed to this massive effort. So you've been following politics for a long time over to Florida, The Voice News.

We're talking to Eric Dardee.

Give me your take now. And it's a day to celebrate for me. I'm not a journalist. I'm an opinion guy.

Obviously, last night for me was probably one of the greatest nights of my life outside of my marriage, birth of my kids.

And that time I hit a triple in that game at Lincoln High School in New York. This was it. But as a guy who studies the data, I'm feeling good about the McCormick Senate race in Pennsylvania. I'm feeling pretty good about that. That could be, I think, 53 for us. I feel okay about Brown. I'm a little worried about Hubby and Rogers in Michigan on the Senate side. How are you feeling about those races? Is there a possibility we get to 55 or 56? Because we're at 52 right now, so the Senate is one for the Republicans.

Yeah. So Wisconsin is gone. That was called by decision desk for Baldwin, I think earlier this morning. So that's been called. But I did speak to one of the networks who are responsible for calling these races, and they think that a call for McCormick is imminent, probably today. So I would keep your eye on that. That is definitely the best race that we are seeing right now for Republicans. And I think, well, I'll put them at 50 Three. And then Nevada, as you said, that is probably the next best. It's looking like we're going to have to wait for their mail-in ballots to come in because it's so close. I think that is a genuine 50/50 There is no way to know right now where that race is going. There are rural votes out. There are Clark County mail votes out. So we're just going to be waiting on that. Michigan, I think, is a little bit of a lean. Slotkin, the Democrat there, I think she probably has the upper hand, probably 60 % chance of winning there. But you can't win them all. 53, 54 is still way above expectations. And yeah, I think that Pennsylvania is probably going to be the most likely the next pickup for the GOP.

Eric, we're talking Eric Dardy from Florida Voice News. I'm stunned because I actually rated McCormick's the least likely for us to win. He ran a great campaign. And he just did. I mean, Bob Casey, but he was running against an empire. I mean, the Casey last name, it's like running against Mike Tyson in the boxing room. You're talking about a guy who just crushed it. That last name meant so much. I was leaning the hub for being the biggest upset that day with Brown being third tier. So it's shocking to see McCormick right now, the one in the lead. But we did win the set. I mean, Montana was That thing was over months ago. West Virginia was a fate of complete. They called it about five minutes in. Now, before I let you roll the House, how are you feeling about the House? I'm feeling very positive we're going to hold it, but do you think it's holding Hold and add a few seats, hold and lose a few seats, or Republicans, God forbid, lose it?

Well, this is developing moments ago, but Decision Desk has raised the GOP's odds in the House to 95%. So you don't really get much higher than that. I think it's a foregone conclusion that Donald Trump will have a trifecta, at least according to Decision Desk. And their projection is 223 House seats for the Republicans. That's important. They are going to have a- That's important. Yeah. And they are going to have a majority, a majority of, it looks like 11 seats. So you have a slight cushion, but a majority, nonetheless, I think it's I think that these Republicans, after 2016 and 2020, the GOP had a bit of a cleansing. A lot more MAGA Republicans, so-called, have entered the party. I think that they're ready to cooperate. Obviously, 2017 to 2019, we remember what happened with Paul Ryan and Mitch McDonald. So I think that we're not going to see that again. I think that these House Republicans and senators are ready to play ball. And as of right now, it looks like the House will go to the GOP.

I think what you just mentioned is really important from a political tactics perspective. If they don't have the buffer, there's always a few holdouts who will use their seat as leverage for something. And to have that buffer, you can have three or four people say, I'm going to take my ball and not play in the sandbox. And it doesn't matter. You've still got eight other to play with. And on the Senate side, you've got the Murkowski, Susan Collins. Those two are always trouble for conservative stuff. So now, if we were to get to 54, Not that it doesn't matter. We'd rather have them on board, but they just don't have any leverage by simple math. Eric, listen, man, thanks a lot. We appreciate all your commentary. Give this guy a follow on X. It's at Eric with a C-L-D-A-U-G-H. Tell him the Dan The Dino Show sent you. Thanks a lot for your commentary.

You've been excellent. Your predictions were pretty much spot on. Thanks for your time.

All right, Dan. Thank you.

You got it. Go look at his timeline. The guy nailed it. I'm trying to bring you the best analyst. I go How do I scour the internet for these people? How I find them? I don't know. He's got a big following in and of himself. He didn't need me, but I want people who are active. Coming up, another great interview, but let's hear from our next sponsor.

Up next, we talk to Sean Davis, one of our favorite guests on the show, about the meltdown on the left and what we can I look forward to when Trump takes over.

Listen to me.

The hits just keep on coming. What do you mean the hits? Mike, like a DJ? No, we're not playing Top 40 here. The state of Michigan is now falling calling for the Democrats in the Donald Trump category as it is now being called for Donald Trump. They ever going to get some good news after last night? Let's hope not because you don't want good news news to happen to bad people. You want bad news from bad people because if they get good news, it means they're doing bad things. I want to welcome to this show, one of our favorite commentators. Thefederalist. Com is where you should go for your news.

It's one of Sean Davis' projects.

It's fantastic. Sean Davis, welcome to this show. What a day today, my brother.

God bless America. What a day.

We are so back. We are so back.

Guys like you and me have been waiting for this day now for four years, getting kicked in the nuts over and over again. Censorship, law fare, ridiculous bankruptcy, civil suits against our candidates, calling us Nazis, racist, fascist, garbage, deplorables, rednecks, whatever name you can think of, fly over country, all this ever crap. But, Sean, I think the most important story to come out of last night is not just the Donald Trump victory, obviously critical and important. It is the fact that he is likely now to dominate in a popular vote. Every single BS media narrative they were going to pitch about, Oh, well, at least half the country rebuked is, is now in the can. They are going to look like absolute morons in the days going forward.

They were. They were hoping they could rig it again, obviously. In the absence of that, they were hoping to make it so painful during a close process. They were wanting to reproduce Florida in 2000 across seven different states. That's clearly what they were angling for. They were getting their shock troops ready in cities around the country, which is why you saw in DC, plywood going up over businesses everywhere, and they get to have none of it because they were crushed. In my view, it's the most important landslide in modern American history. Everyone points to 1984. That was great. Just looking at numbers, it was bigger. But given what's happened in this country and given the makeup of the country today, what Donald Trump accomplished in this election is the biggest, most impressive comeback in American political history.

We're talking to Sean Davis from the Federalist. Sean, you are correct. That was a different time back then. You and I know I was young.

I was only 10, so I'm not going to pretend there was some deep political analyst in the 1984 election.

However, being involved in politics, you read about it. I vaguely remember it, but it was a different time back then. The Democrat Party was not as psychotic as it is now. There were pro-American, pro-life Democrats that existed back then. You don't really find that on Capitol Hill anyway. You may find it locally, but you certainly don't find electeds up on Capitol Hill anymore. It was a different time. So your assertion there, I believe, is accurate that this is almost an even more impressive Electoral College popular vote landslide, given the dynamics we were working with because there's no story for them, Sean. They can't say, Well, at least we did better with minority voters. No. Well, at least we did better with his... Well, at least we did better with... Well, that didn't work. At least we did better with young Well, that didn't work. There is not a single piece of good news for them to take from this election last night.

No, it's bad news across the board for them. To the mediaite and Media Matters trolls who watch your show looking for clips. I'm going to speak to them right now. The true bad news for them is, had they not tried to engineer a pandemic to steal an election, had they not done all the rigging, had they just accepted that Donald Trump was going to win in 2020, he would walking out the door right now. But instead, they impeached him, they tried to bankrupt him, they tried to imprison him, they tried to kill him. And he's coming back, and we get four more years of him with him having the full knowledge of everything they tried to do to him. If they thought the last four years with Trump were going to be bad, they better buckle up because this new Trump coming out is going to be absolutely spectacular, and they only have themselves to blame. And we need to rub their noses in, their own mess about it from now until eternity.

Yeah. I mean, I saw a bunch of calls today from a bunch of swampies, and they're like, Oh, it's the time for unity. You know what? Listen, man, if this was maybe the Tip O'Neill days, which, of course, are a little exaggerated, but you get the point, maybe so. But I don't understand. Unity for what? I mean, one, I'm not for unity for unity's sake. I mean, if it was unity because we would get some bill passed that would leave my kids in a more prosperous country, fantastic. But how do you unify? I don't understand. Would people who, in the literal sense, call this Nazis and garbage? I mean, you want me to go and sit down and have a beer with them? I mean, sit, have a Corona with Lyme. I mean, what are you crazy? These people call this serial killers. I mean, Nazis. You know what the Nazis did? They believe this stuff. So you can take a big seat with the unity talk today. I'm sorry.

No, there will be no unity until there's been a accountability in a reckoning. These people tried to destroy my business. They got the government globally to try and censor us and destroy us and shut us down. The President of the United States called us garbage. They've spent years calling us Nazis, trying to ruin our lives. They tried to get us fired for not taking shots. They left Americans to die in Afghanistan. If you think there's going to be unity after that nonsense, you've got another thing coming. There will be no unity until they get in line and until after there's been accountability and reckoning for their behavior.

And there's a tactical reason, Sean. I get how a lot of the goofball media-like clowns, the Kolby Halls of the world, whatever his name, all these clowns, they're out there, Oh, my gosh. This isn't an emotional thing. Well, it's emotional that he won. It said, if there's no reckoning for all of the stuff they did, that most of it was actually illegal, not just morally repugnant. A lot of the stuff they did was in violation of the First Amendment. Some of the stuff they did weaponizing government to lock people up on made-up charges is actually illegal. If nothing happens moving forward, it's assumed that there's a soft imprimatur on it like, Oh, well, this was just okay. There has to be some reckoning, like you said, where people go, You know what? We did all that. We got screwed. Trump won anyway. And now we're under investigation. Maybe it wasn't worth it. Because if you're expecting any sense of moral self-reflection, You were out of your mind. They were already making up narratives like, Oh, this was racism and all this other crap.

Yeah.

There has to be a reckoning, and it's not personal. It's just business. But you and I talked about this years ago after the Russia collusion hoax collapsed. We both said people have to go to prison for that. There have to be consequences or it's going to happen again. And not only did it happen again, they juiced it up with steroids and ran it 10 different times over. In one instance, that It's completely led to the President being murdered on live television. So no, there's absolutely going to be accountability, and it's not personal, it's not emotional, it's business. These people can be nowhere near the leverage of power ever again because they made clear they would rather burn this country to the ground than have a country that they're not in charge of.

We're talking to Sean Davis from The Federalist. Please give him a follow. Sean, Sean, worth your time.

Sean, I don't think it's a stretch to say that one of the most pivotal One of the most valuable moments in modern American history with regards to God given rights enshrined in our Bill of Rights was Elon Musk's purchase of X. Listen, Donald Trump may, I can't prove a counter factual, he may have won with Jack's X rather than Elon's ex. I don't know. It didn't happen. We had Elon's. I'm just telling you, if I'm a betting man, I bet this election, he could have lost, and it certainly would have been a whole lot closer for Kamala or Biden. Biden may not even have dropped out. If Elon Musk does not purchase ex, the truth on a lot of these matters does not get out there. And that 17%, you guys wrote that article to Federalist, in the 2020 election of Biden voters who didn't know about the Hunter Biden laptop, they knew about all the bad stuff this time, thanks to places like the New York Post, ex. Rumble and other outfits out there that decided, We're all in on free expression. I don't think that's a stretch to say that.

No, Elon Musk is an American hero, and I think we need to have a Mount Rushmore just for him. The only problem is I don't think we're going to be able to find mountains big enough given the size of that guy's balls and what he's done.

I love that. Jim, Sean Davis thinks we should have a Mount Rushmore for Elon Musk's balls. You're right. I don't think we'd have to find something in the Himalayas. It would be scary.

The guy is a legend for what he did. He spent $45 billion to save America. His singular focus, I'm in awe of what he has accomplished and grateful beyond words for what he's done for this country.

Oh, my gosh. It's just staggering.

You have so many people out there, the Scott Pressler and others, who just really passionately poured their heart into this. Talking to Sean Davis from the Fed. Sean, last question. Always appreciate your time.

It's a busy day today for you, I'm sure.

The recriminations on the left are starting already, and it's delicious to watch. Again, I know shouting for us is not the greatest thing, but I don't really care. You call us Nazis and fascists. You deserve everything you get. But they're already starting. I've got a couple of clips coming up after we're done with you. They're already starting to blame Biden. He got out too late. He got out too soon. Maybe Kamala needed more time. We've only known her for now four years, plus her time in the Senate. She's been awful at everything. I hate to say, but I think you and I are thinking the same thing. The next few weeks of this, we'll get ready tactically and we'll get our work done in the administration, but we should enjoy this the few weeks and just let them eat each other alive on the left. Maybe one or two of them will engage in some self-reflection. I doubt it, but I'll take one or two sane ones in the end if they realize they screwed this thing up.

I'm going to power every vehicle I own and dine out on liberal tears for the next two months because it's going to be an unending stream of them. They're the greatest renewable source on Earth right now. I was watching CNN late last night, and they were trying to do a post-election autopsy, and all the Democrats agreed it wasn't Kamala's fault. It actually was Joe Biden's fault because he made life hard for her. I thought, Man, when the Biden people wake up and they tell him what happened, The knives are coming out for the Harris people, and I am here for it, and I cannot wait.

I can't either. I'm sorry. Again, I know I love Jesus Christ, my Lord and savior. I love you, Jesus.

I know, morally, I should probably... There's some high road I should take. But when really awful things happen to genuinely awful people who do awful things to others, then there's some math equation where that's a net positive in the moral arc of history. I'm sure of it. Sean Davis, follow him on X. One of the best follows out there. This dude is a warrior. S-e-a-n. Sean Davis, follow him on X. He's at the Federalist. Bookmark the page, the Federalist.

God bless America. Thank you, sir.

You got it. I love that guy, man. He's really one of the best guests ever.

What do you think, folks?

A Mount Rushmore for Elon's balls?

Again, I'm not sure we didn't rock big enough, but Elon, to Chris over at Rumbble to Devin Nunes. We don't want to leave them out of the conversation and the team over at TruSocial for sticking your necks out there for free expression when it wasn't convenient or easy to do so.

Man, God bless you. You guys are amazing.

Here's another interesting interview coming up next, but first, our next sponsor. Regular listeners to the show know how passionate I am by encouraging you to support companies that share your values and stop giving money to those that don't.

It's a huge issue in healthcare, big issue. You might be surprised with some are making you pay for procedures that you don't even believe in. This is a huge reason why Metashare is so attractive for people who don't want to use their own health care dollars for procedures that might be harmful. Metashare is a reliable, affordable health care alternative. They're a nonprofit Ministry It's a community of like-minded Christians, hundreds of thousands of members now, by the way, and they help people save money. Many families save around $500 a month, and the member surveys consistently show they like it because it works and they can believe in it. It's time to join. Go to metashare. Com/bonjino.

He talked about the ground game planned at Pennsylvania Pennsylvania and how we can take this to other states.

This is important. We got another election coming up in the midterms. Listen.

I try to bring you the best political analysis because folks, I obviously...

It's just I don't know everything. I mean, I don't.

I get paid to speak about politics, but there are people who have a far larger and deeper set of knowledge about very specific states than I do.

I ran in the state of Maryland and Florida.

So Pennsylvania politics, I bring in people who know it.

Nobody knows it better than this guy. You heard him the other day. Some of his predictions were absolutely spot on. My good friend, Sean Parnell, welcoming back to the show. Real American Patriot. Sean, thanks for your time again today. I appreciate it.

Oh, man. We did it, man. We won Pennsylvania. We saved America. Dan, I haven't slept at all. Still gone on no sleep, but I couldn't even sleep if I wanted to. I'm so damn excited.

I know.

I'm reading your text this morning. Sean texted me at about 8:30 or so. As you can hear by my voice, and I think you probably feel the same way, you're a combat veteran. I'm not. I was not in the military. My great regret. But you can probably know as I speak to other folks, sometimes you get this massive rush of adrenaline. We've all had it, whether it's combat or even to a much lesser degree, things like sports and stuff, and you just forget you're tired. I woke up this morning on an actual three hours sleep in the literal, not figurative sense. And I'm very sleep sensitive, Sean. I'm a wuss. But I got to tell you, I got up and when you texted me, I felt like I could run a marathon. I'm not even a runner. I just this high from last night. I just feel like we put up with all this crap for three and a half years. I feel like we've all been vindicated.

Oh, completely. You talk about time in the military and combat. I'm going to give you the full scoop on how we flipped Pennsylvania. I haven't talked about it yet, but hey, it doesn't matter. The cat's out of the bag now. We won. We did it. But I told you that we started this plan 18 months ago. It was after my Senate race had crashed and burned in Pennsylvania. The system came after me. It was lawful. I was one of the first victims of lawful. Vindicated now. But I knew back then that we had to change tactics in Pennsylvania, Dan. Otherwise, we were going to cede the state to the left for the next 100 years with this early vote and the vote by mail stuff, the Dems were killing us. If you don't shift tactics in combat, you're dead. Politics is war just without the bullet. So you're thinking it's the same way. So we pulled in, got with Dave McCormick before he even decided to run for a second time and said, Look, this plan that I'm trying to put together here is outcome-determinative. We absolutely have to do it. And so we started cobbling together, Dan, this constellation of great Republican groups, young staffers, American patriots wanted to make a difference.

And so the guidance was, Hey, look, we're going to raise gangbusters sums of money because that's just how politics is. You got to have money to win. But bottom line is, loose lips, think ships. No No one speaks of this. No one does media. We don't have a media arm. Why? Because I want the Democrats to think we're a mess. I want the Democrats to get complacent. And guess what, my friend? By the time those requests and returns came in of the early vote and the vote by mail, it was too freaking late. There was nothing that the Democrats could do. They had to turn around and turn out 600 to 700,000 people in and around the Southeast and Philadelphia area on election day. And I told you yesterday, my question was, yes, they could do it, but are they going to have the muscle memory to do it, given that they've gone all in on mail for the last four cycles? And guess what, man, they didn't do it. And so we won this state. We took back the White House. And I'm going to dedicate my entire life to dismantling the Communist-Democrat agenda for the next 200 years in this country.

Sean, you deserve a lot of credit. Guys like you and Scott Pressler, you turn this state around. I say it all the time. Pennsylvania, we're talking to Sean Parnell, real American Patriot here, folks. He's got his own show, too. You should check it out.

But Pennsylvania had been forfeited for Republicans for so long. It had a nickname. It was called Fool's Gold. I can't say this enough because we would constantly think it was, Oh, we're going We get it this time. No, it's next time. And Romney, McCain, Bush, Bush. We kept getting smoked. And everybody's like, All right, enough. Pennsylvania's done. It's the new Colorado or whatever. And you know, guys like you and Pressler and McCormick, who ran a great campaign for Senate. And other, I mean, forgive me if I'm leaving you. I promise it's not intentional. It's just I have a short segment with you on. You guys said, no way. There is simply no way an energy state, a state with hard work. I mean, steal. You have a team called the Stealers. I mean, these are people who work for a living. There is no way they're going to go for men in the women's room, unrealized capital gains tax, a defenestrated military, and anti-fracking. There was no way That was going to happen. Exactly. It turns out last night, brother, you were vindicated. It wasn't a win. It was a route in Pennsylvania. Yeah.

And guess what, my friend? I'm telling you right here on this show, this is a victory in a battle in a much larger political war. We won this race, but guess what? I'm telling you right here on the show, I'm expanding this program. Shapiro and Federman will be the last statewide elected Dems in the state of Pennsylvania. And guess what? We're bringing this program to Wisconsin. We're going to go to Michigan, then New Jersey, and New Hampshire, because Because, man, I am tired of the Republican Party playing defense all the time and being a speed bump on the way to some Communist-Democrat agenda. We go on offense, we put the Democrats on their heels, and we start winning states that the Democrats have counted on, and we will turn this country red for the next 100 years. I'm not stopping here. I'm so motivated to dismantle this Democrat Party. I can tell because you texted me at eight o'clock in the morning, and I'm like, This guy's sleep?

I know you were up until... I'm like, No, no, no. It was, Brother, I Because like I said, I got up. My alarm goes off at 5:45. It doesn't really matter. I'm one of those guys, guys like this. Whether I go to sleep on the weekend after a night of tequila on a date night at two o'clock, I'm still up at 5:45. It's not like I'm trying to. It's just I'm old. Like, stuff just doesn't work anymore. So I know you're not kidding. But this is what I love about military guys like you. You get Marines and Army guys, you get five paragraph orders, Navy or Air Force guys. They just get a mission, and it's like, let's just accomplish it and just stop whining about it. But let me ask you this, the Senate race, it's looking really good. I don't believe it's been called yet for McCormick. I've been on the air for the last three hours, but it's looking really good. I got to tell you, Sean, I had this race at about, I don't know, 30, 40% shot of us winning only because the Casey name. The guy does nothing. He rides his name.

That's it. He's got a legacy name. But man, McCormick ran a really ridiculous campaign. How is it looking for him? How should we feel about this?

First of all, I love Dave McCormick. He ran an absolutely perfect campaign, and I don't say that lightly. Second of all, Dave won that race. It's over. I'm telling you, it's over. When the dust settles here, you're going to see about a 30 to 40,000 vote margin of victory for Dave. The media right now, and the Democrats in Pennsylvania, are doing everything that they can. And this probably goes for all of the battleground states where there's a contested Senate seat. They're trying to drag out these down ballot races as long as humanly possible, maybe get a recount, maybe the Hell Mary miracle, to try to minimize the damage in the Senate. And same is true in the House. But McCormick won that race. The media just hasn't called it yet, but you heard it here first. So he's 100 %. He's already won that race. Casey does not have a mathematical path to victory.

Folks, if Sean Parnell is saying it, SEAN, Sean, you should follow him on the social media.

He has his own show as well. Please look it up. You can take it to the bank. Your predictions have been spot on.

Sean, again, you being really good at Pennsylvania analysis, the Kamala Harris campaign in one of the single most... I mean, people should be arrested for political malpractice. You know where I'm going with this. It may be the single dumbest political decision we've ever seen. They can't win without Pennsylvania. You've got a, sadly relatively popular governor who's a Democrat, who's just like, he's a Communist who fakes it well, right? Josh Shapiro. But let's be honest, he's a good faker, unlike Jazz Hands, Tim Walls, who's really bad at this. They could have picked him and probably been, I think they still would have lost, but been a little more competitive competitive. And no, she shakes him off for jazz hands and winds up getting smoked in Pennsylvania. Worst political decision in modern American history, tactically speaking, at least top five.

I completely agree. I have a hot take on this. I don't think Josh Shapiro wanted it, number one, because I don't think he wants Kamala Harris to win, number two. Because if Kamala Harris wins, this guy wants to run for President, right? And if Kamala Harris wins, that's her eight years in the Oval Office for her, right? That means he's out of governor's office, two years twiddling his thumbs, doing nothing. My theory is that Josh Shapiro was not moving heaven and earth in Pennsylvania to help Kamala Harris win this thing. He wants to run for president, and it's a much easier political path for him to show up on the scene, Oh, look, I'm saving the nation from Trump. I don't agree with that. You don't agree with that. But that's what he's going to say on the answer to all this nation's problems, and that's why you should elect me. By the way, you don't have to deal with Trump at the top of the ticket, who's the most electrifying political candidate in my lifetime. So Trump's out of the way. Josh Shapiro gets to arrive like some conquering hero. Kamala is discarded on the ashheep of political history.

He doesn't have to worry about her. All he has to worry about is winning in a primary against Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom, which is a tall order in and of itself, but it's a heck of a lot easier than having to wait eight years of a Kamala Harris presidency.

We're talking to Sean Parnell from Pennsylvania. Give him a follow.

Sean, that is a brilliant point.

You're right.

I want to just a segue to a similar scenario. I think Josh Shapier obviously voted for Kamala. We get that, but I agree with you. I don't think politically he wanted her. I think you were 100% accurate. But I'm going to expand it a little bit. I think Joe Biden felt the same way. Someone asked me, how did Joe Biden vote for Trump? No, Joe Biden didn't vote for Trump. But believe me when I tell you Joe Biden is a narcissistic, sociopathic type personality. Ask anyone who knows him. I know guy's on his detail. The joke about Biden is he's the smartest guy in the room. Just ask him. Biden thought he was a transformative FDR figure. He can't believe he got brushed aside for the cackler, Kamala Harris. I think I'm dead serious. As serious as a heart attack, he's waking up today, him and Joe Biden at breakfast going. He told those idiots, zero doubt.

I completely agree. In fact, Joe Biden with cognitive deficits, was still a stronger candidate than Kamala Harris. Correct. Somehow, they shank Joe Biden. They select, not elect Kamala Harris. They completely betray their base. Meanwhile, somehow, they nominate or select somebody that is less articulate than Joe Biden somehow. Amazing.

How is that? How is that even possible? He doesn't even have... He biologically cannot even function. They managed to find a person who biologically functions fine But has the worst social IQ we have ever seen. But, Sean, I got to make this one more answer. I got two minutes. But here's the smart move for the Dems. I mean, it's a fata comple, now it's over, whatever. But the smart move for the Dems that relates to Pennsylvania politics, who was so critical in this election, would have been keep Biden, you were stuck with him, he won the primary. Dump Harris off the ticket, add Josh Shapiro. And you know what? I think they still would have lost. They probably would have lost, but they wouldn't have lost this bad. And at least you have this guy next who's a rising star in the Democrat Party, instead of a candidate they all acknowledge we're terrible. That was the play.

Absolutely. I mean, nothing more needs to be said. You're 100% right. Look, Kamala Harris had a base problem in this race, and I'll wrap it up real quickly here. But she never earned… You ran in a race. You know what it's like to earn the love and appreciation and the support of your base. She didn't do that. She had base issues everywhere, in Michigan, in Pennsylvania, in Wisconsin. I think that tells tail here as we see in a historic Donald Trump victory.

Yeah, you're right.

I mean, you just nailed it. You and I were both candidates. If you don't gin up a sense of excitement where you've got a core group of supporters that are going to go out and gin up and get 10 more people out there, you have nothing. She had nothing. She lost Indies. She never did. She lost Black voters, Hispanic voters, young voters. I mean, she didn't lose up relative to prior elections, she got just destroyed. This was a really horrible election for the Democrats, and man, the Donald Trump movement. Sean, you've been a diehard in the MAGA movement, and it's been an honor to do this alongside of you. I appreciate your text this morning.

He said, We did it, man.

I said, Yeah, you're damn right, we did. Hey, man, you're going to be a regular on the show if you have the time. Sean Parnell, he's got his own show. Check it out. S-e-a-n-p-a-r-n-e-l. Dll, Sean Parnell.

Thanks for your time, buddy. Appreciate it.

Thanks, brother. Talk to you soon. You got it.

Finally, a big thank you to an important person this election cycle.

You're going to remember this guy from our show. He was amazing. But first, our next sponsor. Seeing my father last Christmas was special. We were all gathered around the table, talking, sharing some stories, but I couldn't help but notice he was struggling to keep up with the conversation. That's when I knew it was time. Millions of adults, over 65, start to lose their hearing each year. My father was one of them, so I decided to give him some MD hearing aids. Let me tell you, they were a game changer. This year was completely different. He was engaged, laughing, didn't miss a beat, seeing him often. It's really been great. Md Hearing really brought the family conversations back to life.

Hey, if there's one person responsible for Pennsylvania going our way and shifting the entire election, not just the presidency, but the Senate and the House, it's Scott Pressler. We wanted to thank him personally, and I want you to hear it. Check this out.

Folks, this guy is a genuine American Patriot.

There are a lot of talkers in the world, very few doers. That's what I tell my kids all the time. They're like, Dad, is success hard? I go, Oh, it's not hard. The recipe is simple. The actual work is hard, but the recipe is simple. A lot of people don't want to get up in the morning, don't want to work out, don't want to hit the cold plunge, don't eat right, don't want to stay after work, and they don't want to do it. They just want to talk about it. If you do that, you'll succeed.

It's not that complicated.

This guy did it.

Scott Pressler. I want to welcome him back to the show. What an amazing guy. Scott, your work in Pennsylvania.

Absolutely incredible. I wanted to bring you back on the show to first thank you. I got a few questions for you. Thanks for everything you did over there, though. Amazing work.

Thank you. It's still finally just settling in, and it feels so good David. Dan, I wanted to say thank you. Every time I went on your program, we raised literally tens of thousands of dollars, and that's not a hyperbole. I just want people to know that every dollar we raised from going on your show went to the staffers that helped deliver Pennsylvania. So the Dan Bongino program literally helped win Pennsylvania as well.

Well, Scott, the Bongino Army are dedicated patriots that believe in action and not just talk.

And a guy like you who went out, I think you destroy your car from driving around the streets, and it was some give, send, go.

No, it happened, right? You burnt out your car or something. Did the engine melt from you driving? Pennsylvania is a big state. It's not easy to drive around, but that happened. Right?

Well, I was in a very lovely 2005 Honda Civic that she has seen a lot of years. I don't know what- Wow. I don't know. Yeah.

I love the tires.

You defeated a Honda Civic? Listen, Honda makes a great car. I had a Civic when I was young. That Civic lasted like 350,000 miles. For you to defeat a Civic, you must have registered a lot of voters.

Well, I'm excited to put even more miles on my new vehicle and get ready for the future.

Yes, sir. Scott, you're an amazing guy. So let's get to some technical stuff, because your model, I believe, can be used in other states. And I've had a lot of people reach out to me and say, How do we I find our own Scott Pressler?

I said, I don't know. You're going to have to ask Scott. Something motivated him.

You registered a ton of voters. How did you do it? I mean, was there some calculated plan? Was it gun shows or churches? You got to a massive number of people in Pennsylvania. You brought over to our side. I don't want to give the Democrats any hard core trade secrets, but for Republicans around the country, what are you telling them on how they can replicate this and say a New York, which I think we can fix.

Well, let's go over a couple of facts of what happened. My organization is Early Boat Action, and we hired 74 paid field staff for this cycle, 74. To give you context, Dan, there are 67 counties in Pennsylvania. We had a staff per each county in PA. That's number one. Number two, we Registered this cycle alone, 50,000 registered voters, 50,000. The reason why that's so important is 2016 in Pennsylvania for Trump was decided by 40,000 votes. 2020 was decided by 80,000 votes. We always knew that this election could come down to one percentage point. And so that 50,000 number could very well swing an entire presidential election in the Commonwealth of PA. Now, let's dial on the numbers and the demographic groups we were reaching out to. So have that 80,000 number as a baseline in your mind. There are 80,000 truckers in PA. So we went to the truck stop, the rest stop, the Service Plaza off of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. There are 90,000 Amish in Pennsylvania. So we went to the farmers markets. We went to the saw mills, the dairy farms. I even milked a cow by hand at an Amish farm to help court vote.

There are 400,000 members of the Jewish community. And with Kamala and Joe Biden's anti-Peace in the Middle East policy, we saw an opened opportunity to reach out to a nontraditional group that doesn't vote Republican, usually. Then you have 800,000 veterans. And so with Stolen Valor Tim Walls, we went to the American Legion. We went to the VFW Halls. And last, Dan, and probably one of the most important groups we reach out to is the 930,000 hunters in Pennsylvania. 30% of Pennsylvania hunters are not registered. We spent a lot of time going to the gun shows, going to the gun stores, going to archery. I mean, We dedicated every single gun show by going to gunshowtrader. Com. By the way, that website is for all 50 states. If you want to start doing this where you live, go now. There are going to be gun shows in December, January. This process It never stops. This was 24/7, 365. But it was touching Dan, all those different demographic groups that I know that are Republican that just weren't getting out to vote. I knew if we registered and mobilized them, we could win and deliver Pennsylvania for Donald Trump.

Well, you did. I mean, you did it by such a margin, Scott, that the Democrats who were obsessed with creating legal chaos after elections they used, it didn't even bother. Matter of fact, there's pressure right now.

It segues to my next question.

The Dave McCormick Senate race, a pivotal flip, if we can take it. He is mathematically certain at this point to be the next United States Senator from Pennsylvania. There's no math for Casey. Casey, as far as I know, I'm looking, I'm following it, has not conceded yet. But it wasn't just that you would flip the presidency back to President Trump, President Elect Trump at this point. You flipped the Senate seat, and I think I saw there was a Congressional seat that flipped, too. So It's not just that you did the top of the ballot. There were down-ballet races, too, where this worked.

Well, I have some breaking news to share here on the Dan Bungino show. The McCormick campaign just put out a presser literally 30 minutes ago, just recently, saying that they are victorious and they have won. I have a message to the President, Mr. President, not only have we delivered Pennsylvania for you, sir, but We have delivered for you a United States Senate seat, and we have also delivered two Congressional districts that flipped from blue to red, and that's Republican Rob Resmahan, who defeated Matt Cartwright. And congratulations to Republican Ryan McKenzie, who defeated the entrenched Susan Wild in Lehigh and Northampton. And so, yes, we not only won the Commonwealth, but helped to provide a Republican Congress for the President.

I can't emphasize enough the importance of what you just said.

President Trump, the tax cuts, all the stuff we want to get done is not going to happen if we don't have the House. The Senate we have. That's how comfortably, it's still up for grabs, but we have the Senate. We don't have the House. We have nothing. You have to get that passed through the House before it becomes law. We can't just rely on EO's executive orders. This is insane, though, that we may wind up with a two-vote margin, and you in Pennsylvania may have been responsible for the two quote margin, too. I mean, you want to talk about a big round of applause necessary. This is it.

Well, and I want to give a shout out, too, to our team. You know, Scott Perry, the Democrats have been attacking him like crazy. And what a fierce, ferocious fighter. I so respect congressman Scott Perry. And if any of you were listening, even at this time, if you're thinking about supporting my efforts, support the congressman. He truly fights for for freedom and fights for you and me every day. Our team, Bobby Jeffrey's and Ellis Dukart and Ryan Sexton, down there in the York Adams Dauphine area. Well, Scott Perry, it appears that he will have on his seat as well. And to our beautiful Bucks County people that have flipped Bucks County for the first time since 1988, Dan, we will have helped protect two Republican seats and flip two seats in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Really, Scott, amazing work. Folks, Scott Pressler, please follow him on X. Follow him on social media.

Scott, I got one more question for you.

I got just a couple of minutes left, but I want to make sure. Tell us your website, because I know you're not done. I know your work has, thankfully, just begun.

But where can people go and support you and your group? Because I've got a feeling you may be expanding into other states here after your success.

How can they support you?

Thank you. Our organization is earlyvoteaction. Com. That's earlyvoteaction. Com. Yes, we have only just begun, Dan. We are already working towards the gubernatorial election in 2026. Democrat Governor Shapiro needs to hit the road, just like we did with Bob Casey and Kamala Harris. Furthermore, I want to make it very clear on your program today. Our goal moving forward these next four years is to Florida, Pennsylvania. I would like to help deliver a plurality of registered Republican voters in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, unless I will be spending my Christmas vacation writing a blueprint about what we did here in Pennsylvania this cycle. I will offer this blueprint to anyone that wants it. Let's take it to New Mexico and Colorado and Washington and Oregon and Connecticut and Delaware and Rhode Island and Minnesota. Let's take this blueprint everywhere. If you thought 2024 was good, well, let's make 2028 even better, baby.

Scott, you teed that up nicely. Last question for you. My former home state in New York, I still love the place. I got family who live up there, a lot of family, not just a few, grew up there.

It was never a red state, but when I lived there, there was a Republican governor, George Pataki, and a Republican mayor, Rudy Giuliani.

There was a significant Republican heavy presence in New York. That has disappeared over the decades since I've left.

You are now seeing New York get redder, not red, but redder from each election we're encroaching a little more. Lee Zeldin almost won the Ownership there. Your model in New York, I am convinced, could make that state less blue, even potentially purple. It's not going to happen in one or two election cycles, maybe 10 years, maybe 12, but I know it can happen. If we can do that and you can take Pennsylvania and New York, the Democrats have no national runway, no national election plan runway to win the presidency again.

Correct. Well, and let's put things into a priority for a second. So yes, if you're in New York, well, I mean, I am going to say I want more people to move to Pennsylvania. I'm not going to lie. Move to Pennsylvania, if you can, help us shore up the governorship in 2026. But to anybody that is so inspired from this win, get involved locally, please. Capitalize on this momentum. But last most important thing, Dan, 2025, we have two gubernatorial elections. Please hear me loudly, Bonjino, Posse. If you live in New Jersey, I want you to show up to your next Republican meeting immediately. In November, in December, you join your local Republican committee and you get involved right now, New Jersey and Virginia, because both of those governorships are in 2025, and New Jersey is trending to the right in a very big way, and it would make just a huge splash for you guys to be able to take the governorship next year. So please, Jersey, Virginia, you get involved immediately and join your local Republican committee, please.

I love this guy, Jim. He's always working. See, two days after the election, guy should be sleeping.

He should be on an IV right now of like NAD and vitamin C or something. What's he doing? He's still hustling and working. Scott, your website again, Bongino Army. Do your thing, man. What's the website?

The website is earlyvoteaction. Com, earlyvoteaction. Com.

Thank you, Dan. Scott, listen, man, stop thanking me. I appreciate it, but it's totally unnecessary.

I did not wear out a Honda Civic. I was stuck here. My days of running for office are over. God bless you, brother. You got an open ticket. Just reach out to Jim anytime you need to come on.

We I love you on the show. Thanks for what you did in Pennsylvania. We really appreciate it, man.Thanks for coming on.I will.

Love you, too. Thank you.

He's a good man, this guy, man. I'm telling you, folks, a lot of people did a lot of hard work in Pennsylvania, Sean Parnell and others. But they'll all tell you, nobody worked harder than this guy. Pennsylvania was called fool's gold for years for Republicans, and now the only fool is Democrats. Good job, man. More of that. Get involved. The do matters, not the talk. Thanks for listening to the show. Make sure you check us out every day at 11 AM at rumble. Com/bongino. Join the live stream. You can watch video on demand anytime.

See you on Monday. You just heard Dan Bongino.
