Episode Date: November 21, 2023

In this episode, I discuss two videos that pretty much sum up where we are politically.

get ready to hear the truth about america on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host dan bongino hey don't get involved in politics don't run for office don't be an activist don't knock on doors or don't donate unless you understand the orchestra pit theory it's not my theory i didn't make it up i didn't even make up the name for it. My theory though is the snapshots and soundbites theory, but it's kind of the same thing. Sorry about my voice. I'm still recovering from singing at the Morgan in concert really loud. My vocal cords are like, orchestra pit theory. You need to remember this. If you understand this in the social media age, you understand everything about politics.

I'm going to show you these two clips and you'll see what I mean. Snapshots and soundbites and the orchestra pit. Hey, MyPillow, six-piece towel set, only $29.98. Using promo code Dan this week only.

including, I mentioned yesterday, how dumb liberals are. I get it. You're like, are we doing a show on this? No, no. I have actual evidence here. I want to show you what I mean. How when liberals,

a lot of them are useful idiots, but sometimes once in a blue moon, they actually start to notice stuff, but they only notice it when it gets bad enough and it's in their face. And then they change. Are we there yet? I'll take my poll again today. Probably not.

But you see what I mean. Birch Gold, they were up against another government shutdown later this month and our wise leaders deal with it the way they always do, spending more money. While lawmakers are high-fiving, your savings account could continue to lose value because more spending, yeah, weakens the dollar. End the cycle. Diversify into gold with the help of Birch Gold Group. And listen, when you open a gold IRA for every $10,000 you spend by December 22nd, Birch Gold will send you a free gold bar. Just text DAN to 989898 to claim your eligibility before Black Friday. Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a gold IRA. For no money out of pocket, you still get the free gold bars.

Don't let your savings become a victim of the further devaluation of the dollar. Do what I did. Buy gold from Birch Gold. Text Dan to 989898. Receive a free info kit on gold. Claim your eligibility before Black Friday to receive free gold bars on your qualifying purchase. Performance may vary.

It's over the tax attorney or financial professional before making an investment decision. Message and data rates apply. All right, Joseph, get this party started. It's showtime, Dan. It's showtime. You all right? Yeah. Chatsers, didn't he sound a little depressed today?

No. What was up? You good? I don't want to. I'm wondering about the mic. Oh, good man. I told Joe he had some mic issues. There you go. Like a true professional.

He didn't want to say too much. Yeah, great day. Let's go. Good man. I didn't even realize that. Very good, Joe. So, folks, they have this thing called the orchestra pit theory of politics. Roger Ailes used to be from Fox. He's since passed. Roger Ailes started Fox and did the whole thing. He had this theory of the orchestra pit. He's since passed. Roger Ailes started Fox and

did the whole thing. He had this theory of the orchestra pit. I brought it up before. I wrote about it in my second book, The Fight. But it's funny because it tracks my snapshots and sound bites. The orchestra pit theory is very simple. You're watching the greatest opera of all time. The guy's like, he's doing like a Pavarotti. And you're like, oh my gosh, you're crying. This is the great, you're like, and then the guy falls in the orchestra pit. What do you remember from the show? What do they write about? Do they write about this? What a crescendo at the end of this? No, they write about how the guy fell in the orchestra pit. Because everything in life these days are two things, snapshots and soundbites.

That's it. That's politics. That's why Republicans do well in the meme wars. We understand that we can take a two-second cut of something like Joe Biden confusing Britney Spears for Taylor Swift. Not like that would happen. Stay tuned. And we can turn it to something bigger. Dems are just not funny.

Snapshots and soundbites. If someone falls in the orchestra pit, that's everything. And I need you to always remember something else too. These are some of my golden rules of politics. I'm going to make this real simple for you. Always measure how much you should care about something in politics. Always. Are you ready? By this. Measure it by the overreaction of the left. If the liberals in the media start losing their over something, it says to me, I should be concerned and excited about it. I know that sounds bizarre, but after doing this for well over a decade now and studying the psychology and sociology of collective media behavior, when they're losing their minds like they did over Trump, it says Trump's a threat to the old system, which is a

bad thing, which means it's a good thing to us because he's a threat to a bad system. What do I mean? Folks, these people are terrified that things in the media that is are getting bad enough out there. And even some liberals are starting to notice they're freaking out over everything. I want you to watch the meltdown over the election of Javier Millay in Argentina, who's a Trump like candidate in what's been a very left leaning country for a long time. This is the kind of foreign policy story that candidly, a lot of conservative radio folks, not a knock on him, even me, you know, a lot of them will stay away from it. They're more concerned with domestic issues most of the time. The fact that the media is losing their shit over this, the fact that this guy got elected in Argentina,

says to me, they're afraid of a global revolution against socialism. I want you to watch this and you tell me, good or bad thing, this guy got elected. Check this out. A far-right outsider compared to former President Donald Trump has been elected to president of Argentina. Coming from the far-right, Javier Millet. A far-right politician. A far-right politician. Far-right candidate. Far-right outsider.

Extreme right wing. Millet is just way out there on the extreme scale. Argentina has elected a right-wing populist. Right-wing populist. Right-wing populist. Javier Millet is a populist who lacks government experience and displayed erratic behavior and foul language. This is potentially a worrisome development.

He's promised some radical measures. Wielding a chainsaw that symbolizes war on government spending, threatening vital public services. He has absolutely no experience. His screeds resonated widely.

His screeds resonated widely with Argentines. Particularly young men. Le's controversial tirades against the political class

have drawn comparisons to neighbor Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro, as well as former President Donald Trump. He has been deemed the Donald Trump of Argentina. His campaign drew comparisons to Donald Trump's here in the U.S. Malay, who has been compared to former President Donald Trump. You can guess who congratulated him by saying make Argentina great again.

Make Argentina great again. Argentina great again. Make Argentina great again. Maybe these anti-democracy forces will, in the end, get overwhelmed. But that didn't happen in Argentina. Not even close. Why are they afraid? Why?

Why? Always ask why. The left in the media, because they're the same thing, are terrified. Because, again, candidly, folks, the left for a long time mastered snapshots and soundbites. Snapshots is probably more correct when it comes to the left, but snapshots and soundbites. They mastered that. What I would call bumper sticker politics. Coexist, tolerance, equity, fairness.

And people buy that garbage. They buy it, even though the left doesn't care about any of that stuff. They never think about that ever. That's never power is the only thing they care about, but we want power is not a bumper sticker. You're going to put out there. They're annoyed because now in the Trump era, we've went, we went from the going into a methadone clinic and arguing about the Laffer curve. The establishment GOP in the past, they would bring a white paper into a debate and wonder why citizens weren't voting for them. Look, we got this white paper on tax policy. Why are all you people not supporting us? Look, economic growth, GDP.

Then Donald Trump comes in. He masters the bumper sticker politics for better or for worse. I'm not telling you you got to like it. He masters the snapshot and the soundbite. He understands that that's politics. He wins. He wins in an electoral college route in 2016. Hire Bolsonaro in Brazil, Javier Millet. You're seeing this revolution around the world, Finland, Sweden, even in Germany, Javier Millet. You're seeing this revolution around the world, Finland, Sweden, even in Germany, amongst politicians, even in France. You're seeing this happening now, and they're very concerned that we're stealing away from them

the soundbites and snapshots. Here's what I mean. I want you to watch this here. Here's Millet, a guy who's mastered the Trump thing. Look at this. Watch this scene. Te amo means, I love you in Spanish in case you don't speak Spanish. This kid, look at this kid crying because he sees Malay. Well, look, I mean, this is real emotion here. Look at Malay. Like he understands that folks. And here's the thing. Like I don't idolize politicians. Is Javier Malay faking this whole thing? I don't think so, but the point is, I don't care. It looks genuine.

That's all the... Look at his kid's face. And look at Millay. He gets him. He signs his shirt. Do you understand this is worth... Guys, seriously, this is like $20 million in TV ads. He did this. Look at it. Look at his smile. Again, is it real?

I don't give a shit. It looks real. I don't trust politicians at all. I assume everything's fake. The thing is, it looks real. The point is, even if it's not, he's pretending because he cares enough to pretend. Trump was the same way. This is what the left and honestly, a lot of people on the right will never understand about the Trump phenomenon. Oh, but he said this. I said a lot of things. I don't deny that.

I don't agree with every policy position. I didn't like the bump stock thing. I disagree with him on abortion. He knows that. We disagreed on the air. But folks, eventually you've got to start to engage in the politics of persuasion and the politics of persuasion in an internet era are snapshots, pictures, and short soundbites. That right there is worth $10, $20 million in PR. But he said it right. You guys got to join in the

show, especially on Thanksgiving week. This week, we're going to take it slow, folks. It's a cool week. Thanksgiving, enjoy our families and stuff that matters. McGee said it right. Biden's the exact opposite. Every single soundbite is shit. He'll give this whole speech on Bidenomics. Say you're a lefty and you love

Bidenomics. He gives an hour's speech on how he's going to tax you to hell and liberals are like, yeah. And then at the end, he's like, and let me tell you about Angelo at Amtrak. And everybody's like, holy shit, here he's going through the Angelo story again. And that's all anybody remembers. He's the exact opposite. Right, right. A kid tries to hug Biden. He's licking him, sniffing him, sniffing like a dog, sniffing his underarms for a scent. I mean, the guy's disgusting.

He's gross. Compare that with Malay. Again, we don't idolize politicians. But I'm trying to give you a scoop before 2024, educationally, and using a little humor here, how to analyze these elections. Because if you master this, you will also see why some other Republican candidates are not doing well. They're great guys and great conservatives. What? And he falls off the stage. It's right. It's true. So right. Was that Trump

bet? There you go. Folks, now you'll understand, but you'll see politicians coming before anyone else. You'll be like, oh, now I get it. It totally explained Beto in Texas before he collapsed and ran for president. Completely explained. You don't have to like Beto. I don't care if you like him. The guy almost beat Ted Cruz in Texas. Because he understood, oh, look, Beto's on stage with a skateboard. Oh, he's so cool.

Laugh all you want. They understood that. Then he melted down a presidential campaign, looked like an idiot. But here's an example of on the other side of this, how one single moment, if you don't come back with something quick, this soundbite ruined what otherwise would have been a great appearance. Here's Nikki Haley. This happened at an event yesterday with a kid who was wearing a Nikki Haley hat. And it's all the Internet remembers, man, just like the orchestra pitch. Check this out. I love your hat. Thank you.

Thank you. One of your guys gave it to me for free. I love your hat. Yeah, one of your guys gave it to me for free. I love your hat. Yeah, one of your guys gave it to me for free. Like the kid just totally astroturfed Nikki Haley. I'm not piling on her. Probably a great event. I don't like Republican on Republican political violence.

I'm simply trying to make a point that in this internet era where kids are used to TikTok and short form content, micro blogging, 30 second tops videos. People are going to watch that because it's funny. And ask and go ask any ask your Haley supporters. What was that appearance about yesterday? They'll be like, even Haley supporters won't know, but they'll remember that. Giving away hats. Is it going to sink her campaign? No.

I mean, people forget it in a couple of days, but my point is it's not going to help. And when you combine it with that ridiculous call to like dox half the internet, she's got to turn it around. Stuff like that. Just that, you know, and the difference is not to belabor this point, folks, but this is important.

The difference between her and Trump, I promise you, Trump would have had some snappy comeback. Like, we're giving away free hats? What the? Are we charging? We should be charging a lot more. Why are they free? We could raise that. And everybody would have been like, ha ha, because that's just Trump.

He would have had some, right? He would have had some crazy line about Trump exploiting. Yeah, NBC would lose their minds and then conservatives would love it because NBC attacked him. Trump would be like, if I sign that hat, can we double charge you for that and get some money? That's like, you got to be funny. You can't be such a stiff. Okay.

That likely explains the earthquake we're seeing in politics right now with Trump and the black vote. Look, even NBC folks, this article is from yesterday, November 20th. You know, again, I got beat up for talking and the black vote. Look, even NBC folks, this article's from yesterday, November 20th. You know, again, I got beat up for talking about the black vote. I didn't like it. I'm not calling out anyone. People get very sensitive about this. Honestly, I don't really care. I'm just telling you, I personally have heard from a number of people who do a lot of business with the black community. I'm not knocking on doors anymore. I was years ago. I don't claim I speak for members of the black community. I do not. I'm just telling you people who do a lot of business with black businessmen, black entertainers and others have told me

that there's enthusiasm for Trump like no Republican they've ever seen. Here's NBC waning enthusiasm from black voters presents an inflection point for the Biden campaign. One black voter says it's concerning that he isn't even considering a vote for Biden. He thinks that should have been a no-brainer, like they'd vote for Democrats, this voter in the past, but now he's considering someone else.

Here's what's happening. Is it bad enough yet? We got to take the daily poll. Chapsters, we got 61,000, 16 minutes in. Is it bad enough yet that there's going to be a mass red wave, tidal wave, the word red, two words that I hate, red wave. My humble opinion, no. Are we going to win the 2024 election? I think it's a good chance. Is there going to be a tidal wave? I don't think it's bad enough yet. Here's the kicker. You see? Still no. I take this

poll three, four times a week. There you go. Electrified magician. Man, you're going so fast. Someone even made a donation with him. There you go. Thank you. $2. I appreciate that. I don't think so, but people are looking. Who's that? Espadaro? Shout out. Hey, two bucks. Hey, man, that's cool. I appreciate it. You don't have to do that, by the way, folks, but it's nice. We appreciate it. That's why our marketing budget is zero because we don't have to. You guys have been very generous to the show. We don't have to spend any money on marketing. You keep my budget super low.

The black community, you're seeing people, is he going to get 20% of the black vote? I don't think so. That article says there's a poll out now that he has 22% black support. I got to be candid with you. I see that highly unlikely. I see it closer to 15. I'm telling you, though, if it's 15 to 18, there's almost zero math for Democrats to win. There just is.

It's just not going to work because people are starting to notice. And a lot of black voters live in states that are dominated by liberals. A lot. And they're starting to notice how bad things are. I want you to play this Cardi B video. You guys have that?

Sorry, I shouldn't assume. I asked them to get it and of course they got it. I shouldn't have even asked. Cardi B's a rapper. And I'm just going to say this for the thousandth time. I don't care about musicians, rappers,

entertainers, sports stars. I don't play this for you. So we can all go over and be Cardi B fans. I really give zero shits. I bring it up because you need to see what the left is watching. Don't be like them. They don't watch our stuff. That's why they don't know anything about anything, which I'm going to prove to you coming up in a minute, how liberals are morons. We don't pay that favor back.

A lot of lefties love Cardi B. They're going to hear this and you're going to hear it too, but the left will never hear what you're going to hear it too. But the left will never hear what you're thinking. It's asymmetric political warfare. You will always win when we study them and they don't study us. Listen to Cardi B here, waking up again, seeing and noticing for the first time. She's commented on taxes before, by the way, how high they are. But here she is noticing like, hey, man, we're paying all this money in taxes and what? No police are here. Check this out. In New York, there is a hundred

and twenty million budget cut. There's a hundred and twenty million budget cut in New York that is going to affect schools, public libraries and the police department. You know, I don't go fuck about the cops, but like it is what what it is and a five million dollar budget cut in sanitation of a budget cut in sanitation bitch we're going to be drowning with rats we're going to be drowning in fucking rats so we are going to be having a budget cut on these shits mind you this is what i said i'm not this is what i'm telling y'all I'm not this year don't fucking ask me I don't give a fuck the resume that they sent I don't give a fuck

I'm not endorsing no fucking presidents no more cause how is that a hundred million dollar budget cut in New York City for for um fucking schools, library police safety and sanitation

yeah Joe Biden's talking about like yeah we could fund two wars schools, library, police safety, and sanitation. Yeah, Joe Biden's talking about, like, yeah, we could fund two wars. We could fund two wars. Motherfuckers talking about we don't got it, but we got it. Like, we're the greatest nation. No, the fuck we're not.

We're going through some shit right now. Like, say it. Say it. We really going through, we really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really are fucked right now. Listen, I get it. I'm watching you all in the chat right now. You're like, who watches this shit?

People do. She's got millions of followers. Folks, we've only been at it less than 20 minutes. We've got 65,000 people. She had on that chat like 30,000, 40,000 people. She's sitting there in a shower cap. I mean, there's no show prep. She's just ranting.

That's a significant audience, man. She's got millions of followers, sells out stadiums for these concerts and stuff. Does that mean we admire it? It doesn't mean anything. It means that is it bad enough yet? Probably not for big change. Is it getting there? It's going to get there when people on the left start talking to people on the left, i.e. what you just saw about how shitty it is. They don't watch it. Folks, listen, man,

they don't watch this show. It hurts my feelings a little bit. I would love it if lefty, there's no bigger compliment you can give me at a book signing. Tell me you were a liberal and I made you a conservative. I've had a lot, like 100 people or so at the last four or five events tell me that. But let's be candid. There's not a lot of liberals here in the chat. It's mostly all of us just getting educated about how to take our country back. But don't pay back the favor, man. It's a all of us just getting educated about how to take our country back. But don't pay back the favor, man. It's a big mistake.

That's why I played Kevin Hart yesterday, The Rock, Joe Rogan, Bill Maher stuff, which we have later. Why do I play Bill Maher? He probably hates my guts. I don't care if he does or doesn't. Because liberals watch it. I'm going to show you what I mean by waking up. Because the crime thing and the, she mentions rats, that stuff is real. That affects them.

You're walking down a New York city street and city street and a rat steals your pizza. It's disgusting. This is the kind of stuff that hits you in the nuts every day. I'd be shitty.

I'm not sure, but people are starting to notice. It's California again. Now they're just getting, I mean, it's at the point now, no one even gives a damn anymore. Look at this. Footlocker store with sneakers. They're just cleaning the place out. No garbage bags in.

No fear at all. Waltzing right out. Probably $10,000 worth of sneakers. And oh, look, on the way out, should we grab more gear? Oh, yeah. And then the guy's like, oh, let's take all of it. Why stop there? Oh my gosh. Those hooks are causing us just takes the whole rack of clothes. No one's in any rush whatsoever. I mean, this is California. This is what's happening. This is why people are starting to notice. Is it bad enough yet?

I don't think so. Is it getting bad? It's getting it. Here's another one. Look at this. They're not even hiding their face in this one. Expensive bags, pocketbooks, whatever the hell you call them these days. I don't even know. I'm a dude. Ripping them right off the shelves. Nobody's stopping them. Nobody doing anything.

They're in no rush whatsoever. Faces hanging right out. They're going to do in the Biden dipsy do skipperoo. No real run. They're moving as fast as Joe Biden. That should There you go. They're doing the Biden dipsy-do skipperoo, no-neal run. They're moving as fast as Joe Biden. That should tell you something. Is that our skipperoo style? We got to do that every time.

They're doing the skipperoo. The skipperoo comes later. You missed it. You went to the two-shot too late on that one. Hey, and listen to this. Here. New York Post. New York ranked the least free state with high taxes, debt, and regulations. New study in the New York Post, New York ranked the least free state with high taxes, debt, and regulations. New study in the New York Post.

Are people starting to notice? I don't know, folks. Liberals, I hate to say it, are really dumb. They're just dumb. I don't know any other way to say it. People ask me to be nice and be cool about stuff and try to convert. Why? Liberals are dumb.

I don't know any other way to say that they're dumb other than they're dumb. They do dumb stuff. They say dumb stuff and they just don't know anything. No, they know something, Dan. You're crazy. No, they don't. They choose to be stupid all the time. It is a willing ignorance about tax policy, COVID, public safety, the military, Hamas. It doesn't matter. You tell me a subject. I'll tell you how liberals are wrong, but wrong on purpose. I mean, wrong on purpose because they could go and look this stuff up. Why am I talking about this today? The show always has a format. That was right. That was a great transition. Thank you. I'm very talented. It's the only thing I can't do anything else. I'm kidding. I'm not that cocky. No, maybe sometimes, but you know, but thank you very much here. I always do this. Listen, whenever I play myself, it's on delay.

I got to turn the vine that I know I signed up. I saw this yesterday. I know Joe's like, yeah, so much for a great transition. Kevin Bass, PhD, master of science. So a new meta-analysis came out about COVID without reading the whole tweet. The COVID death rate. Remember when COVID started, fellas? Remember when we were told, get indoors, hide your kids, hide your wife. Some of you will get that. Hide your kids, hide your wife. Get a, don't walk outside.

Put a double maskaroo on. Mask up your, your nutsack too. You don't want to slip it into any orifice in your body. It's going to kill you. And I said, what did we say guys at the time? Did I not say, maybe we should chill on COVID until we understand how many times did I talk

about the are not in a fatality rate? Every show, like maybe we should not panic until we understand the are not. In other words, how infectious is this virus? Cause nobody knew. And how fatal is it before we shut down planet earth and everybody said dan you're a conspiracy theory you're a covid denier i was like okay dickhead okay so now i'm in what's that oh yeah

we got banned we got banned from youtube for actually daring to mention any of this stuff so which was actually worked out great for us. We have like three times, 10 times as subscribers on rumble, whatever it is. New meta analysis of 40 high quality studies on COVID the COVID death rate folks in 2020 for people younger than 70 was 70%. Oh my gosh. It killed.

Oh no. What set? Oh, wait, wait, I missed the, hold on. Oh,

that's a decimal. Oh, it was 7%. Oh, no. No, no, wait. It's not 7%. Oh, it's 0.07%. We locked down for that, he notes. We kicked kids out of schools. Remember yesterday, even the New York Times acknowledging shutting down schools, the most apocalyptic educational disaster in the last hundred years. We forced everyone to take a novel vaccine that did nothing to stop transmission, by the way. Shut down economies, shipping lanes, supply chains for a disease that killed one in fifteen hundred people under 70. that killed one in 1,500 people under 70. Folks, I want you to understand, although I do not provide exculpatory evidence here for Republicans who were involved in the shutting down,

because a lot of them did it too, and a lot of Republican governors knew in the chat know that, and I understand that. Towards the end, when it became clear that this disease was not as fatal as everybody thought it was, this virus. It was Republicans and conservatives pushing to open schools. Make no mistake, liberals wanted this thing to go on and on and on and on and on, the shutdown,

because they don't know anything, folks. They want to be stupid. Here, I'm going to play a Bill Maherip. You can get mad at me all you want. The point is we need more of this because liberals listen to this guy. He doesn't like you. He doesn't like conservatives. He's not our homie. That's not the point. The point is the stupid is not going to stop. Liberals are never going to wake up and it's never going to be bad enough for them unless they understand they've been lied to and they don't watch this show. They watch shows like this

where he's talking about exactly what I just mentioned. Check this out. But what about liberals? You know, the high information by the science people? In a recent Gallup survey, Democrats did much worse than Republicans in getting the right answer to the fundamental question, what are the chances that someone who gets COVID will need to be hospitalized?

The answer is between 1 and 5%. 41% of Democrats thought it was over 50%. Another 28% put the chances at 20 to 49. So almost 70% of Democrats are wildly off on this key question and also have a greatly exaggerated view of the danger of COVID-2 and the mortality rate among children. Okay, serious time, which is hard for me, believe me. They just don't know anything. You just saw the data. I'm not suggesting to you they don't know anything about anything. I'm sure when it comes to like 14th century women's studies and Egyptian basket weaving, I'm sure there's a PhD out there who could probably decipher the Rosetta Stone on it. I have no doubt. I'm sure there are liberal doctors who are probably very talented surgeons.

What I'm trying to tell you is with the big major issues that impact all of us, tax policy, school choice and public education, foreign policy, the Middle East, Foreign policy, the Middle East, public safety and policing, COVID. I'm telling you, I can prove to you that liberals don't know shit. It's why when we take this poll, you guys are smarter. When I say to you in the poll, he said it was 94% who agree with me. It's not bad enough for a major sea change in politics. You're right.

94% agree. Only 6% think it is. You understand what I understand. How are you going to change everything when liberals don't think anything is wrong? They're like, oh, no, the shutdown was great. COVID kills like 100% of people it infects. And you're like, are you a dipshit? No, it was great. We shut down schools. All those kids died. No, nobody died. What are you talking about? Nobody nobody done at least remind me the number of kids that died is infinitesimally small what are you talking about no we got to defund the police they're shooting black men in the street if they were shooting black men in the street randomly

i'd be arguing to defund the police i'd be like man that sucks you don't want that they're just shooting at black people they just they don't know anything This is why it's never going to be bad enough. I'll show you. I'm not done with this. I'll show you what I mean coming up in a second. I got another clip of moron environmental protesters confronted by a guy who hits them, which is this obvious thing, and they're like, oh shit,

today. What's that? Okay, just let me know. All right, getting back to this. Again, how they don't know anything. You can't expect liberals to move away from their defund the police bullshit and all this other stuff if they think police are shooting down randomly black people in the street, it's not happening. Whatever that applies to COVID, Cardi B, who just figured out you can't spend people's money endlessly if you don't have it. Whether it's Bill Maher finding out that his allies on the left don't know shit about COVID. Nobody should be surprised. Here, I asked Guy and Jim to pull this yesterday. I said, Guy, while we're on this topic, I left them a voicemail. I said, you guys got to find me that Manhattan Institute article about racism in the United States and Democrats versus Republicans.

Well, I want you to read this. Proving my point, they don't know shit. Here, the social construction of racism in the United States. Read every bit of this. Eight in 10 African-American survey respondents believe that young black men are more likely to be shot to death by police than to die in a traffic accident. One in 10 disagrees. Amongst a highly educated sample of liberal whites, more than six in 10 agree. In reality, considerably more young African-American men die in car accidents than are shot to death by police.

Wait, wait, don't go anywhere. Chatsters, it gets better. Black Trump voters are almost 30 points more likely to get that question right than black Biden voters. So when this isn't a racial thing, it's a liberal thing. Conservative whites are almost 50 points more likely to get it right than liberal whites. They don't know anything, man. They don't know anything. They live by the snapshot and the soundbite,

which is great for political campaigning. But the difference between you and them is they stop at the bumper sticker, the modern liberal. And you do not. You don't stop at the bumper sticker. You guys and ladies go deeper. You understand why school choice works. You understand why low taxes work. They don't understand shit. They're just stupid. I hate to say it because you can't run a society this way i'm not proud of it but it's true here this is just glorious there's a bunch of dopey environmental protesters again who want us to electrify the entire economy despite the fact that we have zero ability we

can power the world for about 30 seconds right now on electric. That's it. It doesn't matter to these morons who want to get rid of oil. Watch this guy just break them down. Apparently, the liberals don't even realize that petroleum products aren't just gasoline. Make clothing, acrylics, other chemicals out of it. Watch this. This is great. What do you mean just stop oil? All your stuff is made out of oil, you idiots. Your clothes, these jackets, they're all made out of oil. What the hell are you doing here making a nuisance of yourselves? It's a joke. What a joke. What are you doing here? Get out of the road.

You're wasting everybody's time and petrol. All these guys, their engines are running all the time, wasting more bloody oil, you nutters. What is this made out of? What are your clothes made out of? How did your clothes get here? They got here by oil. They don't even know. They don't even understand that all of the stuff they bought was transported by oil.

Petroleum products are in almost, I mean, a good portion of products in our economy have some nexus to petroleum products. They have no idea because they don't know shit. I love that he calls them nutters, too, by the way. And these cars are idling here, you nutters. I love that. Nutters. I love this guy. But you got to understand, the reason liberals are dumb is.

Hold on. I need to take some water. The reason liberals are dumb is not because they're born dumb. They're not. They're not born dumb. We got to be candid with each other. They're born with the same capacity as you are. Their average IQ is the same as anyone else's average IQ. But when you're raised through in these liberal neighborhoods and liberal schools and liberal colleges, when you're raised with

an exploitation narrative that the entire world fits in this power spectrum, right? That people have power and others don't and everybody's exploited. When you're raised with the exploitation narrative and you're a victim, do you understand that the world becomes black and white to you? You're never required. Police have the power and the guns. Therefore, black men must be victims. The fact that the data doesn't support that is irrelevant. Your life is explainable, not on the margins,

but in easy black and white answers all the time. So there's no need to go further. Everything's black and white. Israel's a wealthy So there's no need to go further. Everything's black and white. Israel's a wealthy Middle Eastern country. Well, they must've stolen it. Who'd they steal it from? Oh, the Palestinians. Oh, makes sense. No one ever says to themselves, well, did they actually steal it from them? No, they don't do any of that. The exploitation narrative explains everything with the left. Everything. Governments in charge, governments of benevolent force. I want you to watch. This is glorious. I've never seen this

explained better. This is Jordan Peterson. Jordan Peterson breaks this down better than I've ever heard. I had to cut it a little short, but it's worth every second. It's over a minute, which I try not to run. It's him explaining the exploitation narrative and power imbalances. And this perfectly explains why liberals don't know jack shit about anything ever. Check this out. People have bought this idiot metamarxism, which is that the way to look at every social relationship that people ever have is through the lens of power. And that is, we can put that squarely at the feet of the universities, as far as I'm concerned, is, you know, marriage is a patriarchal institution and business is nothing but oppression. And you have to view every single situation that emerged historically as oppressor

versus oppressed. And then once you get that, which you can get in about two minutes, if you sit in a course that teaches that sort of thing, you have a lens to moralize about the whole world through. And then you see the situation is that the leftists have already decided the palestinians are the victims and as you pointed out if you're a victim then you're morally righteous and even more conveniently if you stand for the victim then you're morally righteous regardless of what you do with your own life and that's pretty much what university students are taught from the time they enter the university classroom and that's how they you know orient themselves morally well and that's pretty much what university students are taught from the time they enter the university classroom. And that's how they, you know, orient themselves morally. And that's at the hands of the radical left, too, Bill.

And one of the things the Democrats also have to pay the price for, I would say, is their absolute refusal to draw a line between the moderate Democrats and the extremists. They're completely incapable of doing that. I've talked to 40 senators and congressmen in the last five years i asked them all the same question including rfk he wouldn't answer either when does the left go too far well we certainly bloody well saw it the last month didn't we because they got the oppressor oppressive narrative uh little mucked up we might say and we're gonna their consequences of that are going to unfold pretty brutally over the next few months. Did you ever notice that?

What he said is so spot on. Any relationship, sociological human relationship we have, the left explains by somebody being a victim and somebody being oppressed. Marriage, education, everything's big. Big government. I mean, excuse me, big tech, big pharma. It is big, ironic. That's the only one they won't describe that way because that's supposed to be the leveling out power big business they they don't understand anything else because they're dipshits and that's why videos like the one i'm going to play next are so destructive and that's why no

matter how many times you play this stuff the left doesn't want to see what it really is. There's always a hijacking and these idiots again, took video because they're proud of it. I want you to watch what they did in this hijacking out at sea. They took over this freighter. There's no Israelis on this thing. It doesn't matter. The left loves it because supposedly it was bringing products to Israel or something like that. That's how sick these people are. One last break. Sorry about that mix up before.

It explains again, you're going to watch a hijacking video at sea while dumb ass leftists are on college campuses right now arguing to defend these scumbags. Check this out. So again, these terrorists, these Iranian backed terrorists, they take this little helicopter right they video the whole thing because they'll hear the terrorists who should be instantly shot dead on the site when the minute they land but the ship obviously doesn't have this kind of security here they go taking over this freighter they're like oh look we heard some

jews were here let's go get the jews well there are no Jews on this thing, but it doesn't really matter. They'll kill anyone because they're effing savages. That's what they do. They're demon savages. So here the guy's pointing at the guy's back because he's not trained that well in tactics and he's a moron, but doesn't matter. Here they go. This is real. This isn't like a Hollywood movie. You're waiting for Steven Seagal

and Under Siege to come out. Like, don't. This is actually real. Look at these poor guys. Guys working out. He's got to deal with the demon savage. They're probably being tortured right now. Because why? Because, again, the left, again, they're freedom fighters.

They're freedom fighters, folks. They're fighting exploitation. That's what they're doing. They're fighting the occupation. Look at that. Unbelievable. Taking over this whole ship. Some of these people

are probably dead right now. And they video the whole freaking thing because they're proud of it. Yeah, let's get a ceasefire. Definitely. Ceasefire. All these people

should be killed. That's what exploitation looks like. Just not the kind the left thinks. This story was hard, man. I'm going to go through this fast. But again, how people are so stupid.

The left so desperately wants to take over the healthcare system in the United States. It's been a dream since Hillary care. Why? In the chat, you have any idea why? Why does the left want the healthcare system so bad? You know. When you control people's lives, folks, you control everything. If you control the healthcare system, you control everything.

You determine when people live or die. I read this story yesterday when I was on the air in the radio show. If you haven't heard this story and you still support government-run healthcare, you need to get off my chat. I'm sorry. You're not welcome here anymore. You're really stupid. You hear the story of Indy Gregory in the UK?

They have the National Health Service. They have government-run healthcare. Indy Gregory was an eight-month-old. The eight-month-old died November 13th, just eight days ago. Indy was born with a mitochondrial disease that prevents cells from producing energy. Her parents and this medical center in England, they disagreed if she should be kept on life support. The parents obviously wanted to save her life.

But the government-run healthcare, the NHS, turned to the courts to strip the parents of decision-making authority. The UK High Court agreed and overrode the parents' wishes and ordered life support removed. Wait, what? Oh yeah, oh, it gets worse. They even note the story gets worse. While the NHS thought continued treatment would be futile, other experts disagreed, including at the Vatican's Bambino Gesu Pediatric Hospital. They're in a religious mission. They specialize in treating children with rare diseases like that. Get a load of this. The doctors there offered a treatment plan that could help Indy for free. Wouldn't cost the UK anything. The Italian government even made her a citizen so she could be airlifted from England. What happened next? The story gets even worse, folks.

The NHS went back to court, same court, and a judge to insist it remained in Indy's best interest to die in the United Kingdom. The court agreed, overrode the parents' desire to take Indy to see experts in Rome. The judge ordered they could take her only one place, to the hospice, to die. And in case the parents got any ideas, folks, about saving their daughter,

the parents were sent to hospice with a security escort and a police presence. Indy died within two days under the watchful eye of the government that said it was looking out for her best interests. You want government-run healthcare here? I read that story yesterday on the air. I'm going to do it again on the radio show.

Let me take a quick poll because I'm really interested. Government-run healthcare, folks? Yes, we love government-run healthcare. Fuck no, we don't want government-run healthcare here. Just let me know. Love to see those poll results. You think the same government that shut you down and destroyed the economy over a COVID virus that had a 1 in 1,500 fatality rate for people under 70, going to let you live and spend money on you?

That's a lot of fuck knows right there. You think conservatives would be treated well? You think you live in New York City? The court looks at your social media posts supporting Trump? You think they want to help your kid? Get lost. Don't be stupid. I know that's not you, but if you're in my chat

and you believe this and you want government-run healthcare, you should probably find a different show. I mean, stay here if you'd like, if you're looking to be converted. But if you're trying to convert others to government-run healthcare, you should probably go somewhere else. Wow, that's a lot. Folks, the Biden gaslighting now is getting absurd this guy this guy the fact that this guy is still the president of the united states and has not resigned yet

is at this point puzzling i just want you to watch this quick segment this guy just keeps going downhill it keeps getting worse and worse here's's Karine Jean-Pierre. Now, anyone want to change your vote, by the way? The worst press secretary in the history of the United States, Karine Jean-Pierre. Here she is with maybe her dumbest moment yet on Joe Biden. Check this out. I would put the president's stamina, president's wisdom, ability to get this done on behalf of the American people against anyone, anyone on any day of the week. Anyone. I wouldn't put it up against this seven-year-old. Yeah, definitely sucks. Here's yesterday, because you in the chat now have a name. Joe, you got this, you got the sounder for the skipper row. We even got a sounder. I was totally unaware.

this. You got the sounder for the skipper row. We even got a sounder. I was totally unaware. Now, every single time I see this, I will think of you all in the chat. Joe Biden's uncomfortable nervous tick, which we will now call the dipsy do skipper. He did it again. Check it out. But here he goes. There it is. It's back. The skipperoo. This dude has the biggest nervous tick I've ever seen. He wants to look young and virile. The Joe Biden skipperoo. Look at me. I'm so young and frosty. No, no, you're not.

You're not. Stop the skipperoo. You're going to fall on your face. There was this crazy moment, though, yesterday. It happened at the event. Hat tip. What is it? Ill Donald Trumpo does like the greatest memes out there.

Poppy Trumpo. Poppy Trumpo does great memes. I didn't know. He is the only one who got this on video, but he was pardoned in a turkey. Do you all see this? It was a big like this was a bad thing. Like the turkey people were upset. They were embarrassed.

They bring this turkey out to get pardoned. And the turkey has like no love for Biden at all. This actually happened. Check this out. I hereby pardon Liberty and Bell. Fuck Joe Biden. Poppy Trump. Papi Trumpo. Guy said it right.

I bet they regretted micing up that turkey. They didn't expect the turkey to go, you got to throw me a mudley, by the way. You can't launch a mudley and not throw it a mudley. I mean, come on. That's like standard operating procedure. Look at that. Soft hands right there. There we go. like, you know, standard operating procedure. Look at that soft hands right there. There we go. Some of you guys, sometimes he stays. I bet they regretted Mike in that turkey. Here's another. What is this? We got another one, right?

Was it Biden? Oh, wait, wait. Here it is. Biden confuses Britney Spears for Taylor. You know, Britney with the knives and stuff like that. With Taylor Swift, they don't even look like each other. They're like completely different eras. This guy is still shockingly the commander-in-chief. Check this out. And by the way, it's my birthday today, and they can actually sign birthday cards. I just want you to know it's difficult turning 60.

Difficult. So I'm told by the turkey federation of liberty bell and liberty and bell they love honey crisp apples not bad huh ice hockey i sure in hell like to see them play ice hockey a thousand lakes and the Mall of America. Now just to get here, Liberty and Bell had to beat some tough odds in competition. They had to work hard to show patience and be willing to travel over a thousand miles. You could say even this is harder than getting a ticket to the Renaissance tour or Britney's tour. She's down in, it's kind of warm in Brazil right now. Bro, that's the Taylor Swift tour.

What an idiot this guy is. This guy is just a moron. But finally, finally, the media is starting to fight back against these idiots, Kareem Jean-Pierre and Joe Biden. This was good. Folks, James Rosen asked probably the single best question I've ever seen in the Brady press room yesterday. He's good. He's been good for a long time. I'm not even going to play Kareem Jean-Pierre's answer because there was no answer at all. It was just like, well, we love the people or whatever. This was absolute gold in the press room yesterday. Check this out. I want to ask about polling. In February, the president conducted an interview with,

I believe it was Telemundo, and he was asked about the dismal state of his job approval ratings. And he answered in words to this effect, do you know anyone that believes the polling these days? And he talked in some detail about the difficulty of getting people on the phone and compiling accurate polling. Whenever you're asked about the president's dismal job approval ratings, you say we're not going to look at polls. We look at his accomplishments. And yet when you are asked about various domestic policy initiatives, you will say these poll very well. People support what the president wants to do. If you look at the individual subjects on the polling, they support what the president's agenda is. So once and for all, are only certain polls valid in your eyes, the ones that support

your agenda, or is the polling data that shows that president biden has been stuck for two years at the below 40s in his approval ratings are those valid finally people start to ask real questions about these full of shit people in the white house is it getting bad enough yet that's why i played this last i don't know but the poll numbers suggest we're getting there that's why we stand a damn good chance of winning in 2024 the only question is how big can the win be? That's why I don't want to hear anything about a red wave. A red wave is only to dissuade people from going to the polls. Folks, I got a special surprise for you. We're going to be off Thanksgiving, so there won't be a show on Thanksgiving on Thursday. There will be a show tomorrow,

podcast Wednesday, live show. We will have a special for Thanksgiving on Thursday. There will be a show tomorrow, podcast Wednesday, live show. We will have a special for you on Friday. I've been getting so much interest in the self-defense segments that, listen, Chester, tell me if you're cool with this. We're going to do an episode with the world-famous fighter Henner Gracie of the Gracie family. The guy is one of the best mixed martial arts ground fighters in the world. He's just a super nice guy too. We're going to do a show and we're going to go through clips and we're going to go through some basic self-defense stuff. He's going to do demos and stuff. We'll play the clips, what people did right, what they did wrong. It'll be a really

cool show for Friday. We're getting a ton of demand for it. I think you're really going to like it. I think once you see it too, you're going to convince yourself that in basic preparedness is right up your alley. You're going to have to do this stuff. So that's a special for Friday. I'm really excited about it. So please don't miss it. Show it to your wives, your kids. This guy's really great at not just doing Brazilian jujitsu and grappling and self-defense.
