Dan Bongino kicks off his Friday show in characteristically volcanic form, using a Politico article headlined 'Democrats grapple uncomfortably with World Cup success' as his opening salvo. For Bongino, the piece perfectly encapsulates a subset of the Democratic Party that cannot stomach American achievement, even as Europeans flood TikTok with videos praising this country's greatness. He name-drops Peggy Noonan's Wall Street Journal op-ed about that very phenomenon, noting that even a non-Trump supporter can see the contrast. After establishing the theme — 'they really hate you' — he pivots to housekeeping: he'll be on vacation next week, with Vince Colonese hosting Monday and Sean Farish on Wednesday. He closes the pre-ad opener with a reminder that if it ever comes down to family versus the show, pick family.
