“My entire life right now is about owning the libs,” Bongino said in 2018.  At the outset of Trump’s second administration, he said on his video podcast that the president “should ignore” court decisions that he disagrees with. “Who’s gonna arrest him, the Marshals?” he asked. “Trump controls them.” On another podcast, he said that “the only thing that matters is power. Power. That is all that matters. A system of checks and balances? Haha! That’s a good one.” On yet another, he called on Trump to “fabricate executive powers” by setting up a fake courtroom in the White House to override federal judges: “Why can’t the executive be the judge?” “The irony about this for the scumbag commie libs, is that the cold civil war they're pushing for will end really badly for them,” he tweeted last May. “....But they're not ready for what comes next. They never have been. It's all revolutionary cosplay with them. Not anymore, as it's all real now. You assholes wanted it. Now you've got it. Good luck.”
