Within 30 minutes of Kamala Harris calling for the Electoral College to be abolished on the Don Lemon show, Jemele Hill claimed it was created to protect slavery. Bongino cites Federalist 68 — Alexander Hamilton's own explanation — which says the opposite: the EC was meant to protect minority rights and limit slaveholder power.

The episode pivots to a rapid-fire news cycle moment: the previous day, Bongino had discussed on-air how the Electoral College is an obstacle to the radical left's direct-democracy ambitions. Within 30 minutes, Kamala Harris appeared on Don Lemon's show calling to consider abolishing it, and Jemele Hill — a sports commentator Bongino dismisses as knowing 'nothing about anything' — posted that the Electoral College was created to protect slavery. [1] — Dan Bongino "Within 30 minutes of Kamala Harris calling for the Electoral College to be abolished on the Don Lemon show, Jemele Hill claimed it was crea…" 42:15 Bongino is almost gleeful at the speed of the vindication: he cites Federalist 68, in which Alexander Hamilton explicitly describes the EC's purpose as protecting smaller, anti-slavery states from being politically overwhelmed by large slave-holding states with high populations. He urges listeners to read it themselves on Grok or any search engine. The segment becomes a broader argument that the radical left's effort to dismantle constitutional guardrails — the EC, the Senate, the courts — is an extension of the same Western-civilization-eradication agenda.
Factories that replaced coal engines with electric ones in the early 1900s got only 6% efficiency gains. Those that redesigned their entire factory around electricity got a 3x productivity improvement. Swapping AI tools into your existing structure will give you 6%. Rebuilding around AI will give you 10x.
Lebanese terrorists backed by Iran were holding American hostages throughout the Reagan presidency. Reagan had loudly campaigned against negotiating with terrorists — putting him in an impossible position that his team quietly decided to ignore.
During the Iran-Iraq War, the US openly supplied Iraq with weapons, training, and intelligence. At the same time, Oliver North was secretly funneling missiles to Iran. The US was playing both sides of a shooting war.
Oliver North traveled to Iran under the alias 'William P. Goode' with a fake passport. CIA Director William Casey allegedly gave him cyanide pills so he could kill himself rather than be tortured if captured. He returned safely and the deal moved forward.
The Pentagon sold missiles to the CIA for $3,700 each. The CIA sold them to Richard Secord at cost. Secord sold them to Iranian middleman Ghorbanifar for $10,000 each. Ghorbanifar charged Iran even more. The profit — including $3 million in interest in one Swiss account — was diverted directly to fund the Nicaraguan Contras.
America secretly transferred 2,000 missiles and missile parts to Iran in 8 shipments over more than a year. Only 3 of 7 hostages were released. Three more were taken. The net result was zero freed hostages and a full-blown constitutional scandal.
On October 5, 1986, a CIA Contra supply plane flew a weapons drop at 2,500 feet in broad daylight. A Sandinista soldier shot it down. The only survivor, Eugene Hasenfuss, had borrowed a parachute from his skydiving brother. He was captured, paraded in front of cameras, and told the Sandinistas everything he knew.
The CIA supply operation used a front company called Southern Air Transport, widely known to be a CIA cover. Crew members of the downed plane carried their Southern Air Transport employee IDs in their wallets. One also had a business card directly linking him to Oliver North's office in Washington.
When the scandal broke, Oliver North and his secretary Fawn Hall conducted what became known as a 'shredding party,' destroying a day's worth of documents. The full truth of Iran-Contra may never be known because of what was fed through that shredder.
