Folks, I'm just going to throw this out there for the folks in the chat, because sometimes getting a big bird's eye view from this collective group of wisdom from the Bongino army out there is better than just my really. Are you tired of the winning? And don't wait. Don't don't hold on. Don't respond yet. Stand by.
I'm a serious question here because there's an article last night in the wall street journal by Karl Rove. Hey, hear me out. Just hear me out. Okay. I know what you're thinking already. I get that. The article, basically, the gist of it is this, that the winning, and this is Rove, who's not even a big Trump guy. I think we all know that. Karl Rove is more of a bushy.
But he acknowledges in the piece that there's never been a month-long set of winning cycles like this, like President Trump. He doesn't in any way attack him in the piece. But he goes on to suggest that you should slow down some of the winning, hear me out, because some of the wins are so big that maybe you should do like a week-long victory lap. In other words, he brings up the border.
Think about that. I'm going to write this down. Question. Think about that. Comment in the chat. Yes, immediate flood the zone.

Chapter 2: How are Mexican drug cartels being handled by the Trump administration?
Rumble.com slash Evita, which is easy enough. Rumble.com slash Evita. Right there on the screen. Evita's show is one of the number one launches for a podcast. So because it was such a success, I have been scouting around for talent. And there is someone I've known a really, really long time. She is amazing. I've known Evita through her family.
It was obviously a great pick because she has taken the show and just done spectacular things with it. Haley Karania has been a good friend of mine for a long time. If you don't know her, you will. She is an amazing talent. We adore her. It's a different kind of show, but that's okay. We like that. Haley has been amazing. She has gone viral many times on TikTok and elsewhere.
She is going to be doing the evening edition show at 6 p.m. We will be launching it very shortly. It's H-A-Y-L-E-Y-C-A-R-O-N-I-A. So Anita, if you could look up her social media or Instagram and other, if you guys could follow her now. I'd appreciate it. So we're going to be launching her show, Stat, and you're going to love it. She is super talented. She's a lot of fun to watch.
And we've got more for you coming in the future. We are going to give you a full competitor to, we're going to give you stuff all day. Just give me some time. So big announcement. Welcome Haley to this team. We're all looking forward to it. It's going to happen quick too. So get ready. Haley Carania, evening edition. I'm pretty stoked about it. Another new show. You did? Awesome.
We love you guys in the chat. Thank you. Who said congrats? There you go. Okay. Carvin, Carvin EFRs. That's amazing. Thank you guys. We love you guys. It's all for you.

We love it if you do, but you don't have Rumble is free, but there are ads they pay, you know, Rumble's an expensive enterprise. So we have to repay for it. All right, let's get to the show folks. I am a big proponent of the Donald Trump plan. There's two particular plans going on because executive orders are great, right? We can all agree Donald Trump has done a lot by executive order.
But for those in the chat, who's going to get the first one? What's the problem with executive orders? Anyone in the chat know? There's a pretty significant problem with a lot of upside. The upside is the speed, right? Donald Trump goes like this, signs it, Donald J. Trump, the executive order's implemented, pending lawsuits, which we get. There's going to be lawsuits about everything.
We understand that. But what's the problem with executive orders? Anyone know? Yes. Got your six in Roman numerals says, yes, the next election, the next executive could be a Democrat and just overturn them. Thank you. Got your six. I got your six too. You need legislation. Legislation makes the concrete dry. Donald Trump knows this. So does the Congress and the Senate. We need legislation.
Donald Trump cannot cut taxes by himself. He can't. He can move things around within the executive branch, hire and fire. The unitary executive is real. He cannot implement legislation himself. There are two, if this is boring, tell me in the chat, shut your freaking pie hole. Thank you, Anita. We love you. You're the best. You're the queen.

Chapter 3: What is the status of illegal immigration under Trump's policies?
You put two desserts on the table, someone goes, ah, I like these both, but this one, I'm not so sure I like the color of that whipped cream in the corner. I'm going to pass this one. You put a hundred of them on the table, nobody's even going to notice that. Nobody's even
going to notice that because it's quick i gotta do one that's what you do you hammer this thing while the maga crowd wants to change america is ready to take the ball forget by the horns by the balls and run with this thing go move forward red line hit that tachometer sixth gear that thing man we are ready donald trump is political instincts come on republicans in the house and senate
You know I don't like Republican on Republican political nonsense, okay? Because it's a waste of time. We've got a bigger problem with the Democrats. You know Donald Trump for all the knocks. Some of you guys have been. You know you do. Some of you guys are bad-mouthing behind the scenes. Whatever. You do what you want. I'm just telling you, you know his political instincts are better than yours.
They just are. They just are. One bill. Get it done. Okay. How do we know Donald Trump's political instincts are good? Well, don't take my word for it, ladies and gentlemen. I appreciate that you do. I hope my opinion matters. I do a lot of homework. My opinion doesn't mean Jack squat and Jack left town. You got to back it up with evidence. Here's CNN's Harry Enten on a poll about Trump approval.
Don't believe me. Leave CNN. Check this out.
Donald Trump and the Republican Party has changed the electorate. What do I mean by that? Well, let's take a look at party identification, Democrats versus Republicans. You go back to 2017, five points more of the electorate was Democrats than Republicans. You go to 2021 when Joe Biden was starting out. Look at that. Six points more of the electorate was Democrats than Republicans.
But look at what's happened in February of 2025. Look at this. Republicans, there are more Republicans in the electorate than there are Democrats. Republican plus two. So Donald Trump and the Republicans have remade the electorate. They've turned some people over from being Democrats or independents to become Republicans. New folks have entered the electorate who are more Republican-leaning.
And so when you combine that with the fact that Republicans are real really behind Donald Trump, all of a sudden you get a winning recipe whereby you break the normal rules of politics and give Donald Trump that positive net approval rating when he had pretty much a consistently negative one in term number one.
I appreciate that you believe me and trust me on the show. We have a pretty solid record of displaying and transmitting facts and data and receipts. But that doesn't mean you get a pass on the next year. You got to back up what you say. To the Republicans in Congress who may have this undercurrent of distrust about Trump's political instincts. I'm just asking you to back it up.

Chapter 4: How is the Trump administration impacting the Republican Congress?
Ladies and gentlemen, again, the left, how many times we got to talk about it? We've used this title of the show, what, 50 times? Because it's so appropriate almost every single day. The hair's on fire, the wetting of the diapers. It's really embarrassing. Folks, what we call AUSAs and USAs, U.S. attorneys. I don't know if USAs are the United States of America. No, it's U.S.
attorneys in the law enforcement field. And AUSAs, assistant United States attorneys. They serve at the pleasure of the president. These are not civil service type employees. These are not administrators. These are political appointees. Donald Trump has every right to let them go. Joe Biden did the same thing. It's not an argument. Let the media melt down. They're embarrassing themselves.
It doesn't matter. The only reason I'm discussing this story, because if it's not a big deal, and they do this all the time, why are you talking about it? Because there's a bigger story here. It's about AUSAs, but it's about the new Republican Party. And it's this. If you're bored right here, Go put in a search engine, George Bush, United States attorney scandal. Scandal, with air quotes, right?
George W. Bush fired some U.S. attorneys too. And do you remember? It was like this really big, quote, scandal. This goes to show you, you are the media now. It was a fake scandal. George W. Bush, whether you love him or hate him, had every right to fire U.S. attorneys. Happens all the time.
But because the media declared it a scandal, it actually became a scandal because they can make up fake news and that was the only thing you had back then was fake news. Now, a story like this, do you notice the media, that the response to this has been almost null and void because of the rock-em-sock-em robot strategies? That's why I disagree with Rove's piece.
This is why you just keep hitting them. You're not even going to hear about this. It'll be a non-story the minute cash is approved today. This was a huge, I'm going to say two-week story when George W. Bush was president, maybe more. They're just not the media. The media is not the driver of the national narrative anymore, folks. They're just not. You're the media now.
You know why this story is important? Because it's not. Does that make sense? This story is important because it's not important. It happens all the time. And in the past, it would have been a scandal. All right, moving on. The W's are just piling in. I told you in the beginning of the show with the can't stop winning thing. That Karl Rove, he has a piece in the journal.
We discussed it earlier, but there's this two competing ideas now in D.C. The winning is actually coming so fast. People are starting to wonder like Karl Rove, kind of old school Republicans. I get it, but I'm just giving you multiple perspectives. This is why we're better than them. Like we see their side, but they don't see ours.
They just see us as a bunch of crazies, even though we keep winning. It's not a crazy theory when you think about it, that maybe we should slow down the wins and maybe do a national tour about success at the border. Personally, I don't agree with that. I think we can walk and chew gum at the same time to use the stupid cliche I hate, but whatever, you all get the point. It's a win-win.

Chapter 5: What are Dan Bongino's views on the new Republican strategies?
Let me just stop this. Nope. Who said it? Who said it? Let's give someone a chance. Here, always on McGroin. Always, that's one of our, always is like a rock star in the McGroins. Always says, keep it coming. I've never been overwhelmed with such negativity on a comment on my own channel. Okay, you guys win. Where are my Bongino Army shows for you? It's not for me. I don't know at all.
You want to keep hitting them? So you're just so we're clear. You're suggesting sign the bill on a Monday at what we do a signing. What is it? What's a good media cycle? 3 p.m. 3 p.m. A lot of people, you know, wrapping up the day, but they're getting three by three Oh one. We're out there hitting them again. Okay. I'm dude, I'm game. You have to talk to me right back. Right.
Just right back again. Okay. I'm cool with that. I just think that's such a big deal. That to just go and do a quick little victory tour for a couple of days and to just show people what we just did. Okay, moving on. One of the things is going to be economic reform. I want you to listen to Trump on tariffs. Yes, he believes in tariffs. I'm not a huge believer in tariffs.
We do have to get tax revenue from somewhere. The problem I see with tariffs is it's a $25 million income base we're dealing with, which I hate the income tax. I want to be clear. It's only three, did I say, excuse me, what is it, 25 trillion? And it's three on the other end. So there's not a lot of kind of feathers to pluck from the goose there, right?
But tariffs are an unbelievable negotiating tool, an unbelievable negotiating tool. to use. Listen at the end. This is why Trump is so damn good at this. He makes you believe that this is going to happen, and it's got to be a credible threat. And then at the end, he says, listen, and we're talking about auto tariffs, but give them some time to move here. Check this out.
He decided specifically what the auto tariff rate should be.
Yeah, I probably will tell you that on April 2nd, but it'll be in the neighborhood of 25%. It'll be 25% and higher, and it'll go very substantially higher over the course of a year. But we want to give them time to come in because, as you know, when they come into the United States and they have their plant or factory here, there is no tariff.
Folks, you see why he's better at this than I am? He just is. I ran for office. I didn't win. He won. He won three times. I don't know what to tell you. He's really good at this. I know Donald Trump pretty well, but I wouldn't say we're like coffee buddies or anything. I don't want to exaggerate my relations. You know, I hate that. People are like, oh, Trump's my buddy. I hate that.
Sounds so stupid, like name dropping like that. But I know him well enough, and I'm telling you looking right in the camera, I honestly don't know how serious he is about tariffs. I don't. There's a side of me that thinks he really believes it, and a side of me that's like, he's got to know what they do. But that's the gift in this. It's not the curse. Do you understand?

Chapter 6: What changes are happening in the media landscape according to Dan Bongino?
That's the beauty of the whole thing, that when you use a tariff as a negotiating tool, he may move some of this production right back here to the United States, what would mean jobs, capital investment elsewhere. You get it, folks? Because it's a fair enough critique. To say, Dan, you can't have it both ways where tariffs are good things and bad things. I'm not. A tariff's a tax, period.
However, we do have to get taxes from somewhere. And if we can use that as a vehicle to get production here, then I'll take it. I'll take it. And listen to him at the end. You got to listen to everything Donald Trump says. Here is the biggest W. If this story sucks, everybody in the chat, who said I get it? Red state deplorable. Good, I get it too. do you hate this story about New York?
If you do, I won't cover it. I love this story. And I don't want to, I don't want to cover it just because I was from New York. I think this story is, if you are still confused about how Donald Trump rolls and how he constantly gets the left to like show their ass to the public, you will not be confused after this story.
How he gets these people to do the dumbest things possible because they hate him is the most remarkable skill I've ever seen. Folks, they hated George W. Bush. They hated Mitt Romney. They hate every Republican. But I've never seen them act so tactically inept. Here's the story. Put this up at the New York Post. Donald Trump cancels basically the New York City congestion pricing.
Big hat tip to Secretary Duffy at the Department of Transportation as well. They basically said, you can't do it. Sorry, they need approval for us, and we're not giving it to you. Congestion pricing is a very, very simple concept. If you were going to drive into a congested traffic area of Manhattan, New York City wants to charge you another, another toll.
I want you to keep in mind, I am from New York. To get into Manhattan, most of the crossings are already told. Producer Jim just sent this to me. He looked it up. The Verrazano Bridge, which comes from Staten Island, is currently $11.19. You're already paying more than $11 to enter Manhattan. The Midtown Tunnel, all of this stuff, you're already paying. Manhattan wants to charge you more.
And here's the thing. It's going to be about nine bucks, but when traffic gets bad, it's going to be even more. Oh, you do? You know what? Play Duffy, and then I'm going to tell you on the other side, get ready. This is an important segment. Why this story, which seems so regional and stupid, like, oh, who cares? It's not. It is probably the biggest face plant the Democrats have done yet.
Check this out.
Why can't New York City determine what it wants to charge for people to come in and out?

Chapter 7: How is the Trump administration handling U.S. attorneys?
Last week, Vice President JD Vance visited Europe and dressed them down like naughty children for Europe's rising authoritarianism, ranging from censoring their own people to literally cancelling elections they don't like. The European establishment was aghast. The conference organizer in Munich cried. The German defense minister fumed that defending free speech is, quote, unacceptable.
Bloomberg, meanwhile, lamented that, quote, the transatlantic alliance as we know it is dead. We can always dream. J.D. was speaking in a military conference in Munich. Perhaps the Europeans thought they would get another couple tens of billions from Uncle Sucker.
Instead, JD came heavy, criticizing the EU's recent cancellation of an election in Romania because the populists won, while Journey mulls a ban on the second most popular party in the country, the AFD, also for the crime of being populist, adding, quote, if you're running in fear from your own voters, there's nothing America can do for you.
In other words, if you keep censoring, we can't be friends. The sclerotic authoritarians in Europe have painted themselves into a corner, Their economies are moribund, they haven't had an innovation in roughly a century, and they've become a left-wing welfare queen living on handouts from American taxpayers. As much as they would love to tell J.D. and Trump to take a hike, they cannot.
Peter goes for it. And maybe you needed to hear that. We're not going to be Uncle Sucker anymore. I'm sorry, but we're not going to do it. The U.S. taxpayer, and by the way, for those out there on the left saying, oh, what are we, cowards going to retreat from the world? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. WTF over us?
You mean the United States that rescued Europe from that thing called World War II? One. Oh, why is it called World War I and not just the World War? Anybody know? Any of you guys know? Michael is a math major. It's great because there's a second one. And we had a little role in that too, I think. My poor grandfather fought over there. Scarred him the rest of his life.
I lost an uncle, Gregory Ambrose, sitting on that wall, that Vietnam Memorial wall. Never met him in my life. He's my mother's older brother. So before you start lecturing us, we've been there. Who do you think kicked Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait? We're always there. And you know who gives out? What did we get? Did we get any money out of it? We got nothing. You know what we get?
We get body bags as we bust our ass to shuttle money. They say, you didn't deserve this war. Nobody's saying that. But you damn well better give us some exit plan here. Because there's war and conflict around the world and the United States can't solve all of it. And Donald Trump wants to know with the EU, hey man, when are you guys going to step the fuck up?
You know, this NATO alliance we have is really the U.S. The German military is collapsing. Look it up. It's a fraction of what it should be. You've got the U.K. saying, hey, we'll send troops over, but we need a U.S. guarantee. The U.K. is out of the EU now. I mean, guys, sooner or later, you've got to show us over here that you're willing to fight for yourselves.
