Also, another article by the Washington Post proving my point from the other day. I wish I was wrong. The Democrats are getting really worried about the optics of what they're of what they're up to with mark meadows and the arrests turns out hauling people out in a chain gang like the old soviets

I'm not tired of it. I'm tired of being tired of it. The media is trying to portray the Republican party and conservatives is doing what they're doing in an effort to distract you. A really disgusting piece came out yesterday in the New York times, trying to insinuate that the collapse of the republic is our fault. It's titled How to Tell When Your Country is Past the Point of No Return. Well, if we are past the point of no return, we're at the point of no return or past it because of you, because of you and your declining credibility.

I want you to think for a moment about all of the things as a matter of fact, not opinion, as a matter of fact, the Democrats and their media ass kissers have been up to in the past few years, right? We know they colluded with foreign agents. We know that, right? Christopher Steele was in fact a foreign agent for the British government. He had retired at the time, but he was a foreign agent. We know they colluded with him, right? We know they colluded with him to interfere in the 2016 election. We know those are facts. Those are facts, however uncomfortable for the left-wing media. That happened. So Democrats are colluders and Democrats interfere in elections. That we know. We know Democrats have a long,

undistinguished history of challenging any election at the national and local level that they lose. Oh, I've got a super cut of that coming up next. So the Democrats we know collude with foreign agents. We know they interfere in elections and we know they challenge the integrity of elections when they lose elections. So there's a three for right there. We know the Democrats have a long history of advocating for in some cases, and in many cases, apologizing for street violence and allowing it to happen.

Political violence too. That's a fact. Video coming up next. Receipts always attached, folks. We know the Democrats also have a history of questioning the vaccine. Why do I bring that up? Because if you dare question the vaccine, you're an anti-vaxxer or some ridiculous conspiracy theorist, right?

Which is strange because, again, there's a long history of Democrats when Donald Trump was in charge questioning the vaccine. Yet they accuse you of doing the same thing. Kind of weird, right? Again, that's a matter of fact. Fact. The fact checkers say, oh, no, no, they weren't questioning the vaccine.

They were questioning Donald Trump. Bull, go back and watch what they were saying. I trust science. I don't trust Donald Trump. What were they talking about? They were talking about the vaccine.

Democrats have a history of violating rules and norms. Elizabeth Warren's already talking now about packing the Supreme Court because she doesn't like decisions from the Supreme Court on abortion that haven't even happened yet one of them the Texas one but that was more about procedure also we know the Democrats have been ignoring protocol rules and quote norms forever. Listen, this may sound like a wonky story. I'm just going to sum it up quickly. But it's a very disturbing story. There is the FDIC chairman.

They have a procedure for putting out new rules. One of the Biden appointees who's running the CFPB, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has basically given the double-barreled, family-friendly middle finger to the FDIC and said, we're not doing that old process anymore. I'm taking over the FDIC, and here's what I'm going to do. Listen, I know you're like, oh, that's a really wonky, weird shit. No, no, no. Believe me, in D.C., it's raising a lot of alarm bells. The guy has just hijacked the FDic because he wants to supervise bank mergers

the democrats are doing this i say screw them we're gonna call them out here from the new york times piece notice how now that i just showed i just showed you the facts and i'll provide the receipts in a moment notice how the the Democrats, their media ass kissers, now have to accuse us of everything they did. Here, from the New York Times piece, they're citing a couple others in the piece as well. They say, talking about Republicans, they're much less likely to be thinking about the health of basic pillars of democracy. That's hilarious.

Electoral integrity, the rule of law, the legitimacy of the opposition, and the integrity of rights. This has to be a joke. Our political system's in crisis and we should be shouting from the rooftops about it and coming together to save it? Yeah, I agree. Save it from you idiots. He also addresses this guy at Vox who wrote, We're experiencing failures on both the elite and mass public level, he wrote, as Republican elites have chosen to normalize the violence committed by their

extreme right flank on January 6th. Normalizing violence. That is freaking hilarious. You have got to be kidding me. Oh, big time. Big time. You must be joking. Normalizing violence. Talk about projection like we've never seen before. Here, you need evidence? You should. I always produce

the backup evidence. I will never leave you hanging out there. The evidence, ladies and gentlemen, is everywhere. So it's the right normalizing violence. We're doing that. I don't know anyone on the right normalizing violence. I don't know any serious, credible figure on the right normalizing violence. However, I know a whole bunch of people on the left and in the media normalizing violence. Again, I'm not only tired of this crap, I'm tired of being tired of it. The left is disgusting. They are single-handedly dismantling the republic and trying to blame us for exactly what they're doing.

Don't accept it. Turn it around and stick it right in their mugs. Here you go. Here's Chris Cuomo saying, hey, peaceful protest. Yeah, by the way, that is in the Constitution. But he doesn't know that. Chris isn't that smart. The whole Bill of Rights thing escaped him. He's supposed to be a lawyer.

He's not supposed to be much now. He doesn't have a job. But here's Chris Cuomo asking, where does it say protests have to be peaceful? Well, in the Constitution, but he hasn't read that. Check this out. And please, show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful. Well, it says that in the Constitution, but don't let that get in the way. But remember, it's us.'s us republicans normalizing violence you ever heard me say

that by the way have you ever heard me on my show i i challenge a leftist to say these words that yeah your protest shouldn't be peaceful it should be violent have you ever have you ever heard me say that ever yeah yeah i know yeah yeah thank you you've been with me from episode one never yeah i never said that never a matter of fact i've been the one decrying violence for a very very long time because once you go down that road there's no turning back and a lot of people on the left and anywhere on the political spectrum calling for violence sadly many of them have never experienced violence up close and personal. Once you go down that road, there's no turning back. That's a river when you cross. There's no going back in the other direction without drowning.

We're the ones questioning elections and questioning process. You sure about that? Here's a super cut. I think this is a Grabian one, hat tip by Tom Elliott. Here's a long history of Democrats. These cuts are a little bit longer today, over a minute, but they're important. Because again, I'm proving to you the point, proving to you with hard evidence that it's the left that's dismantling norms and leading to the destruction of the republic.

It's not us. Here are Democrats ranging from Hillary Clinton to Al Gore to Maxine Waters to a whole bunch of them questioning basically every election in the last 20 decades. 20, excuse me, 20 years, two decades. My math was liberal math that they've lost. Here, check this out. We won that election. Al Gore won the election. Al Gore was elected president of the United States.

This wasn't counted. You know it. I know it. They know it. We won that election. There is overwhelming evidence that George W. Bush did not win this election. Do you think Republicans stole that election? In 2000? I wish the United States Supreme Court had let them finish counting the votes. The Supreme Court denied the actual and accurate counting of the votes of Florida.

the actual and accurate counting of the votes of Florida. If Katherine Harris, Jeb Bush, Jim Baker, and the Supreme Court hadn't tampered with the results, Al Gore would be president. An election has been stolen, robbed. It wasn't a fair process. It wasn't a neutral process. It was a process that was rigged against us. We actually won the last presidential election, folks. They stole the last presidential election.

As we look at our election system, I think it's fair to say that there are many legitimate questions about its accuracy, about its integrity. How are you going to keep it from us being able to be in a position where you can manipulate the machines, manipulate the records? In Virginia, when I was governor, I had to replace all the machines. Too many voters have cast votes on machines that jam or malfunction or suck the votes without a trace. You need to watch that video.

If you're listening on audio, please go to rumble.com slash Bongino and watch that video. You see, that was Barack Obama at the end. I ended with him on purpose. That cut, by the way, goes on for about another 40 seconds. I just didn't want to bore you to death with two to five minutes of Democrats questioning election. One quick note on that as well. While there's a certain irony in the 2020 election and a lot of the shenanigans with mass mail-in voting and the coronavirus pandemic and a number of things that should have been questioned the 20 uh the uh the

2000 election for president the gore v bush election there is zero evidence whatsoever zero that al gore won that election zero and you doubt me, the only question you ever need to ask your kooky liberal friends when they say, well, go run the election against Bush, say, please show to me, show me any evidence ever of any recount in Florida. There were a number of them that started and stopped of one recount total where Gore was ever ahead in Florida. I'll wait. They won't find one because there was never.

Do you hear me? This is really important. You understand this because in light of what we're discussing now in 2020, where there were known issues with the election, mass mail-in balloting for the first time, we get that. You question that. You're a conspiracy theorist. You can kiss my ass. We will talk about whatever we want. You're citing an

election in 2000, which is a total conspiracy theory, your theory you want. There was never, I repeat, never a single recount, not one in Florida, not one where Al Gore was ahead, not one, not one. There are liberals who still don't know that, but they still think Gore won. You want to talk about a crazy conspiracy theory, whereas I acknowledge it's hard to prove a counterfactual about 2020 it's hard I'm telling you for a fact in 2000 Gore lost and Democrats still make they think Stacey Abrams the governor of uh of Georgia here's another one so Republicans are the ones who condone violence really do you listen to this show do you listen to people on Fox? When does that, you're just, you're making that up.

Not only are you making it up that we condone violence, it's you who are the grotesque advocates for violence. You have covered for it. You have apologized for it. You should doubt everything you said, everything on this show. You should fact check yourself. I encourage it because it'll only increase my credibility with you. Here's the evidence.

Here's another supercut of legions of Democrats condoning and openly advocating for violence. New York Times must have missed this one. Check this out. I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country. Maybe there will be. People need to start taking to the streets. This is a dictator. You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there's unrest in our lives.

Enemies of the state. Show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful. Do something about your dad's immigration practices, you feckless. They go low, we kick them. How do you resist the temptation to run up and wring her neck? Biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right. I thought he should have punched him in the face.

I said, even if you lost, he insulted your wife. Yes. He came down the escalator and called Mexicans rapists and murderers. He said, well, what do you think I should have done? I said, I think you should have punched him in the face and then gotten out of the race. You would have been a hero. I'd like to punch him in the face. I said, if we what do you think I should have done? I said, I think you should have punched him in the face and then gotten out of the race. You would have been a hero. I'd like to punch him in the face.

I said, if we were in high school, I'd take you behind the gym and beat the hell out of him. Punch some people in the face! When was the last time an actor assassinated a president? They're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump, and that's a fact. Look as his character is stabbed to death. Where is Johnkes booth when you need him that's it right there pulling up i have thought an awful lot about blowing up the white house a missouri state senator is under investigation by the secret service after saying she hopes president trump is assassinated. I will go and take Trump out tonight.

And if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere. And sadly, the domestic enemies to our voting system and our honoring our Constitution are right at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. They're not going to stop before Election Day in November and they're not going to stop after Election Day. And that should be everyone should take note of that on both levels

that this isn't they're not going to let up and they should not want to know why the new york times is saying the country's reaching the point of no return maybe you should ask the democrats i mean the evidence is right in front of your face you just quickly before i move on you know brett stevens had an uh an op-ed and i I think it was the New York Times. He's a big never-Trumper, but claims to be a Republican, whatever. But Brett Stevens brought up a good point that Joe Biden is finished. Joe Biden is finished, and Joe Biden should announce right now that he is not running for office again. Ladies and gentlemen, this guy, you talk about being beyond the point of no return. This presidency is over. It is over. The man has lost all credibility with the American people. It is over. They are the party that caused us

to reach the point of no return. And the evidence is right there in front of you. All right. Let me move on. Excuse me. Let me get to my second sponsor. I want to get to this story because I had warned you a couple days ago that the Democrats were going to realize soon that their threats to arrest and jail everyone who didn't cooperate with their unconstitutional, immoral, unethical, disgusting, tyrannical January 6th committee. There's nothing to do with January 6th at all.

That they were going to find themselves in a real problem. You really want to be walking people out in handcuffs like the Soviet Union, putting people in jail who are trying to cooperate with you?

omahasteaks.com, keyword Bongino, omahasteaks.com, keyword Bongino. Excuse me, okay. I promise I'm on the last rows of this thing. So I had warned you over the last few shows that the Democrats were going to have an issue. They are trying to coerce and intimidate people into cooperating with this January 6th committee that is not interested in January 6th at all, but is interested in the 2022 midterm elections. It's like a super PAC to get more Democrats elected.

So a number of people, including Steve Bannon and Mark Meadows, when they figured out what was going on and that these congressional subpoenas they're issuing have no legislative intent at all, and that they're trying to usurp the powers of law enforcement, which Congress does not have, Meadows and Bannon said, we're not cooperating. So they said, well, we got an idea,

despite the fact that very few people have ever been jailed for not complying with the congressional subpoena. Just ask Lois Lerner of the IRS and Eric Holder, former attorney general under Obama, who said, hey, go blank yourself. I'm not responding to this congressional subpoena. What happened to them? Nothing. They became celebrities overnight on the left, but they decided now would be a good idea. them nothing. They became celebrities overnight on the left, but they decided now it'd be a good idea. The horrendous attorney general Merrick Garland, who has no dignity or ethics at all, they decided it'd be a good idea to use the DOJ to go and lock people up. So they put Bannon on and locked up Steve Bannon. Now they're going after the president's former chief of staff and former congressman Mark Meadows. Well, the Washington Post is starting to realize what

I said the other day, that they've got a real problem with Democrats now. The articles by Matt Zapotoski in the Washington Post, Meadows' referral creates new legal and political challenges for Garland and the DOJ. You know, if the left only watched this show, they would have known this far in advance. What did I tell you the other day?

There's no end game here. More and more people are going to start ignoring these subpoenas as they realize they are unconstitutional, unethical, any moral, and this has nothing to do with January 6th. And what are they going to do? They're going to put everyone in jail. Those pictures are going to look great before an election.

So here's what the Washington Post had to say about it. This is the classic dilemma someone finds themselves in when they have a choice between bad and worse. The Post says, if prosecutors charge Meadows for failing to comply with the subpoena from the committee

investigating the January 6th breach of the Capitol, they could risk undermining the ability of the executive branch to keep officials' discussions private. More on that in a second, including in future administrations. They could also face Republican allegations that they're abandoning precedent to unfairly target a political poll. The verdict is in. The Dan Bogino Show called it again. Yep. Did I not? Here's the problem they have now,

folks. Now that they decided to use a heavy hand and practice Gestapo like tactics, right? We're going to lock you up. You don't testify in front of us. Despite no precedent for locking people up in the past for ignoring congressional subpoenas, right?

On one hand, if they let Meadows and Bannon ignore the subpoena everyone else is going to ignore the subpoena too on the other hand if they lock them up and do these heavy-handed things and don't try to do what a normal sensible committee would do joe which would be to try and work with these people and do it ethically hey listen we're, we're looking into this. We need some stuff. Can you help us out? That's not what this committee is interested at all in. This committee is only interested in humiliating Republicans

before the 2022 election. So Meadows and Bannon are like pound sand. So the problem they have now is if they don't enforce the subpoena, more people, when they realize what's up, are going to ignore the congressional subpoenas

in the January 6th committee. But if they enforce the subpoena and mark meadows who was trump's former chief of staff is forced to give up all this information then oh that's right president biden's current chief of staff ron klain when they lose the next election in 2022 and the republicans take over the chair spots can subpoena ron klain and rely on the precedent that this committee set and get the information about Biden too? Oh, oh, that one might sting. You didn't think that through, did you? Hmm.

Also, they're concerned second about, again, not to beat a dead horse, but the optics of what it looks like locking up a bunch of Republicans before an election. This is how dumb the Democrats are, including their new member, Liz Cheney, new Democrat. Welcomed her openly to the Democrat Party. Find themselves in a really bad spot, should have listened to the show. Maybe they wouldn't be so stupid all the time. All they had to do was handle their business honestly and ethically. Say, we're concerned about what happened to the security situation at the Capitol. We're looking for some information.

We'd be really helpful. That's not what they were interested in at all. They wanted to embarrass people. And now because they're tyrannical a-holes, now they find themselves in a really bad spot. They find a situation picking between bad and worse. they find a situation picking between bad and worse by the way speaking of this bar none the most unethical member of congress show remember hey shift remember we had the hey shifty shirts shift we haven't brought up shifty in a while um adam shift one of the biggest sleazeball in congress bar none um and i mean it the most unethical

member of congress there are dumber members of Congress. There are members of Congress who are more power hungry. But there is not a more unethical member of Congress who has zero attachment to ethics at all than Adam Schiff. The man is widely acknowledged. Ask any member of Congress with a beer in them who the most unethical member of Congress is. And 99% of them will tell you by far Adam Schiff. Adam Schiff got caught again. I mean, how many times is this guy going to get busted lying, lying about the whistleblower contacts, lying about the Schiff memo during collusion, lying about the transcript, lying

about the text he got caught again here's video of adam shift at this january 6 commission the other day he claims to be reading a text from jim jordan of mark meadows which he implies is demanding that mike pence um i'm not support the electors in the certification, right? Just listen to Schiff talk about it. Listen to him read the text as if it's a word-for-word text. It says lawmaker to Mark Meadows. The lawmaker is Jim Jordan.

But I want you to listen to this because he got busted lying yet again. Check this out. We could cue the first graphic. This one reads, on January 6, 2021, Vice President Mike Pence, as President of the Senate, should call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all. You can see why this is so critical to ask Mr. Meadows about. About a lawmaker suggesting that the former vice president simply throw out votes that he unilaterally deems unconstitutional in order to overturn

a presidential election and subvert the will of the American people. But what's the problem with that text he's reading? Well, it's Adam Schiff. Problem is, that's not the text. Well, it's Adam Schiff. Problem is, that's not the text. Problem is, he inserted punctuation. He deleted things to make it seem like one continuous thought from Jim Jordan to Mark Meadows talking about what Mike Pence should do.

But that's not what that was. So what really happened in the text? Well, if you want to read the whole story, because it's very detailed, it's in The Federalist, an article by the great Sean Davis. You can read it also. I have the article linked at bongino.com slash newsletter. You can follow my newsletter. I will send you these articles every day. Thank you for doing that, by the way. We're at quite a few hundreds of thousands of subscribers here to the newsletter. Here's the article. During January 6th hearing, Adam Schiff doctored a text message between Mark Meadows and Rep. Jim Jordan. So they say, in the statement you just heard and the on-screen graphic, if you're watching Rumble, you saw it, they put up a little mock-up of the text.

Schiff erased the final two paragraphs and the final clause of the first paragraph of the text message before inserting punctuation that was never there all without disclosing what he was doing the graphic displayed by shift which was doctored to look like an exact screenshot was similarly doctored as it contained content that was never in the original message and eliminated content that was this guy is just on i mean yeah embellishment. Five yards. Oh, is that the whistle? Yeah. Hold on.

We need the flag. You got it. Yeah, that's new. I haven't heard that one before. Joe's doing his own thing. He's a renegade today. Okay. What is it? Embellishment.

Five is the holding side. Five yards. Repeat first down. I know. That's the holding side. What would embellishment be? Hold on. Embellishment.

You got to think of a new one. Embellishment. Five yards. Repeat first down. The guy is a nut. He is the most unethical member of Congress. That was not the text. That was not the text. That was not the text.

How is this guy, even on kook networks like MSNBC and CNN, where the nuts are, the nuts, the moonbat lunatics, how is this guy still accepted and allowed on your network?

How? He never tells the truth about anything. You doubt me? Here's the evidence. Schiff's, I have this titled, Schiff's Legion of Lies. Who keeps, and by the way, to the liberals who keep voting for this guy, how do you keep falling for this?

How? I mean, really, aren't you a little embarrassed? The guy's clowning you. Remember this? You know what, before I get to let me let me get to my third sponsor i want to get this here's what i got coming his legion of lies i want to show you videos of shift doing the same thing again creating a fake transcript saying well this is the essence of what he said when it wasn't what trump said and then getting caught with the whistleblower

and then getting caught with his memo but again keep it up libs keep having this guy on msnbc he's perfect with russia rachel i mean neither one of them has any attachment to the truth.

He gets up uh fake uh impeachment hearing here was adam schiff he gets up there at the impeachment hearing remember the phone call with zielinski the ukrainian president so schiff gets up there and he says hey i'm gonna read the essence of what the transcript of the call was the essence keep in mind i want you to know what he's reading here is a total complete fabrication and is entirely

made up. This is not, none of this is in the phone call between Donald Trump and Zelensky, but in order to get around fabricating it and just outright lying, he was, Oh no, no, I was trying to get to what the essence of what they said, although it's not at all what they said here, check this out. This is the essence of what the president communicates. We've been very good to your country. Very good. No other country has done as much as we have. But you know what? I don't see much reciprocity here. I hear what you want. I have a favor I want from you, though. And I'm going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand lots of it. On this and on

that, I'm going to put you in touch with people, not just any people. I'm going to put you in touch with Attorney General of the United States, my Attorney General, Bill Barr. He's got the whole weight of the American law enforcement behind him and i'm going to put you in touch with rudy you're going to love him trust me folks that none of that is in the trump call with ukraine none of he just made it up you see essence and when he was humiliated and mocked just about everywhere he had to do some kind of damage control there's more shift uh i mean the guy has zero zero credibility zero it's the credibility of a shell game the hoaxer in time square in the 1980s remember this ariel davidson the federalist shift

lies yet again remember when he claimed to not know who the whistleblower was in the ukraine case despite the fact that the whistleblower had already met with his office i don't know i don't know who he is i don't know nothing sergeant schultz though remember that you may say well that's a lot of lies with adam shift no no there's more remember the shift memo remember the shift memo about the collusion case which was all a lie a lot of lies with Adam Schiff. No, no, there's more. Remember the Schiff memo? Remember the Schiff memo about the collusion case, which was all a lie? Federalist Molly Hemingway.

The IG report confirms Adam Schiff's FISA memo that the media praised was riddled with lies. The whole thing was a scam. This guy is a zero. He is bar none the most unethical member of Congress. And I only bring this up this guy is a zero. He is bar none,

the most unethical member of Congress. And I only bring this up because anytime he speaks, I strongly, in order for you to avoid embarrassment, even on the left, I strongly encourage you to wait 24 to 72 hours and apply the Bongino rule.

I can almost guarantee you anything Adam Schiff says is a lie or fabricated because he's disgusting and he has no ethics and only morons fall for this stuff. Okay, moving on. I got a lot to get to today. So Twitter, speaking of morons, so Twitter's got a new CEO and a new CEO worse than the old CEO. Another thing we warned you about on this show was that all the celebration when Jack Dorsey stepped down as CEO at Twitter, I said, was a bad idea because the guy they're putting in charge is even worse. And now he's proving it.

So Twitter thought it would be a good idea, as you can see by this article in the Post Millennial. millennial, Twitter thought it was a good idea to put out initially that they were going to start banning people for saying, quote, false or misleading claims that people who've received the vaccine can spread or shed the virus or symptoms or immunity to unvaccinated people. What was the problem with their original version of what they were going to ban people for? Well, the problem, folks, is that the CDC has already acknowledged, as well as every single credible scientist and epidemiologist in America, that the vaccinated can in fact acquire the disease and can in fact spread it. So when Twitter again, like Schiff, was widely mocked and laughed at for being Pravda-like

propagandist, they changed it to an even more ridiculous thing. If you can make sense out of this, I'd love to hear it. They later changed their guidance to read false or misleading claims that people who've received the vaccine can spread or shed the vaccine. You're shedding the vaccine. That's what they're going to... Just to be clear, you get a vaccine and you're shedding the vaccine.

Like what, a chameleon? What are the things that... A snake that sheds its skin? How does that work? This is how stupid Twitter's gotten. I guess they panicked because they were being laughed at by, again,

every credible person on their platform. So they changed it to something that makes even less sense. They're going to label those posts as misleading. I'm going to label Twitter's terms of service as misleading because no one knows what the hell they're talking about. Two page a ruski today. Hey, by the way way he'll kill me if i don't mention it questions for tomorrow's podcast the post is already up on locals i am on the locals you can download the locals app comment spelling or go to locals.com i'm at d bongino on locals we have some great content there a lot of it's subscriber only some of it isn't but if you'd like to post a question for tomorrow's show just comment on the post that says questions for tomorrow's podcast, or you can comment on any of the

podcasts on rumble and we will take your questions to my really been enjoying that segment. I appreciate your thought. Well thought out questions are very, uh, they're, they're really tell me where your head's at and I appreciate it. Okay. Uh, moving on. So the media research center put out their list. Uh, uh you know this is the time of the year you know joe the you've been a radio a long time the end of the year is the time for what listicles right list everybody's got a list top 10 morons of the year you know greatest sports moments of the year i mean this is the it's the list they call them listicles uh this is the listicle time of the year so the media research center does the best one they put out this piece

of video audio here uh for the those listening audio only, there's a little bit of silence between this. I didn't play the whole thing. They have the most biased media hits of the year award. They had the top three, first runner up, second runner up, and the winner. I just included like the winner and the top two runners. It's about a minute. It's not that long. But these are their nominees for most biased media appearances of the year. And none of it should surprise you. It's CNN and MSNBC. Check this out.

Though there was less loss of life on January 6th, January 6th was worse than 9-11. Those lights that are just shooting out from the Lincoln Memorial along the reflecting pool, it's like almost extensions of Joe Biden's arms embracing America. It was a moment where the new president came to town and sort of convened the country in this moment of remembrance, outstretching his arms. If you voted for Trump, you voted for the person who the Klan supported. You voted for the person who Nazis support. You voted for the person who the alt-right supports.

That's the crowd that you are in. So their winner is Don Lemon. If you voted for Trump, you're a Nazi Klan member. Okay, it's kind of a bold statement to make, but that's Don Lemon. If you voted for Trump, you're a Nazi Klan member. Okay, it's kind of a bold statement to make, but that's Don Lemon, of course. Don Lemon, who texted Juicy Smollett, Juicy, to warn him about the cops being onto him. Same Don Lemon. He's got a ton of credibility. Then you had Matthew Dowd in the beginning saying that January 6th was worse than 9-11. Matthew Dowd with the,

what did he run for lieutenant governor of Texas for about seven days and had to bail out because everybody laughed at him. And then we had the thing in the middle of CNN suggesting that these points of light were like Joe Biden taking over the world as a godlike messianic figure like light everywhere. I mean, good job. If you want to watch the whole thing,

the media research and it's an extended cut. They have a third place finisher in Joy Reid. It's pretty good. But this is the time of the year for listicles and appropriate to put that out the most biased awards. All right, moving on to a very serious topic. Terrence Jeffrey over at CNS News. I can't encourage you in strong enough terms to follow his work.

There is nobody on top of the current financial situation of the United States like Terrence Jeffrey. He writes at cnsnews.com. I include his pieces often up on Gino Report, my conservative alternative to Drudge Report, and in my newsletter. And I want you to read this one because sometimes the national debt figures approaching $30 trillion are so big and large and enormous in scale that it's really hard for people to figure out. The numbers are so big, it's impossible to figure out at a granular level how it impacts them. Terrence Jeffrey has this piece up. I really need you to read. The headline says it all.

The federal debt now equals about $287,000 per income tax paying household. Folks, I need you to think about that for a moment. We have spent so much money we don't have that every income tax paying household in the United States, this money's owed, it's owed by us. We are the United States, is probably more than the net worth of a large, large swath of America, including everything, cars, vehicles, retirement accounts. Think about this. There are people whose homes that haven't even paid off yet aren't even worth There are people whose homes that haven't even paid off yet aren't even worth $287,000. Yet that's what you owe. Now, complaining about the problem without telling you what could happen is irrelevant.

I mean, highlighting an issue you know is an issue is not going to help you. I get the question a lot on email. Well, what happens next, Dan, if every income tax-paying household in America owes money they can't possibly pay? Imagine if they asked you for that check tomorrow. Hey, government owes $287,000. Pay up tomorrow. 99% of people would be like, what are you nuts? I don't have that kind of cash laying around. But you owe it. Oh, I assure you it's real, and you owe it. So what happens going forward? Well, you could argue about adding more things, but I'll highlight three things that are likely. Number one, inflation will monetize the debt. In other words, inflation, which will raise the prices

for everything you're doing right now to exponential levels, will devalue the currency and also devalue the debt. So you'll essentially go bankrupt via inflation. You'll go bankrupt, then. You'll go bankrupt, then the country will go bankrupt. Second, we will eventually default. It won't be a formal default because we can always print money, but it'll be a de facto default. And that will pay people back the money we owe them, the $287,000 per household. You'll pay it back, but we'll pay it back in dollars that are worthless

because we've inflated them away. Essentially meaning you lent us money and we gave you back crap. Remember, bad money always chases out good money, always. Or third, there could be, piece of good news, a massive technological breakthrough. I've said it many times. Cure for cancer, artificial intelligence, some blockchain technology that crosses over somewhere else, some energy technology that could lead to a massive productivity boom that would make the United States more able to pay it off. And with some basic spending controls, we could find ourselves in a not so bad place. It's a possibility. It's a long shot, but it still is. The problem is we'd have to get some spending controls too, and some productivity

enhancements, and we're not doing anything. But I don't see any other way out of it, folks. None. We're in really bad shape. All right, I'm going to get to my last sponsor. I want to get to a story about podcasts. Listen, this is kind of wonky to me. I love podcasts. Joe and I were one of the first movers in this space there was corolla then there was ben shapiro and crowder and then it was us i mean there were almost no conservative podcasts around not a lot of them we got started so i want to put this article up for you showing you how podcasts are now taking over everywhere and i want to tell you what it means because it means something for the content production space business.

I hope you find it as fascinating as I did because it talks about not just podcast. Like, ah, podcast, shmodcast, listen to your podcast. Why do I need to know the technicalities behind it? Because it's not about podcasts.

It's about the fragmentation of the media market and the disappearance of the middleman. I'll get to that in a second. This article will be in my newsletter today. It's by Media Post, Tony Silber. It's called Engagement with Podcasts Increases and Continues to Grow. It talks about how more than half of listeners are increasing their podcast time of consuming podcasts. Not only that, they found that 52% increased the time listening and consumption of podcasts

has increased more than most other media in the past six months, especially when compared to other audio-based media. In other words, folks, podcast consumers now are listening more and they're listening more is taking away from other mediums, radio, TV, and elsewhere. Now, why does this matter? I never talk about stories I don't have some color to add to. Well, having been one of the originals in the podcast space and proud to have been one, it speaks to the power and business of Porter's Five Forces.

You know, Porter's Five Forces want us to be a first mover. If you're ever in business, you want to be a first mover. You want to think of the idea first. You want to move first. It's very hard to overcome the power of a first mover. The Adam Carollas and the Ben Shapiros who started early, they got the audience when the consumers didn't have a lot of choices. You want to be a first mover. That's number one. So there's a business lesson here. If there's only three or four choices, you want to be one of those three or four choices. Do you want to be one of three or four choices or one of 20 choices? You want to be one of those three or four choices. Do you want to be one of three or four choices or one of 20 choices?

You want to be one of three or four. Be a first mover always. Second, this growth in podcasting is empowering individual creators, people like me, like Crowder, like Shapiro. It's empowering us and it's enabling us to dump the middlemen. Ladies and gentlemen, in the past, I have a radio show, I have a TV show, but candidly, 25, 30 years ago,

and Joe, you'd be a valuable asset. Joe's been in the radio business almost as long as I've been alive. Like Joe, well, not that long, but a long time. Trust me, the terrestrial radio business. In the past, before Joe and I started podcasts, so he's seen it all. In the past, you could probably attest to this.

If you wanted to reach a mass audience, you had to either have Rush Limbaugh's show or Levin or Hannity, or you had to be on the nightly news, or you had to have a cable news show. Yeah. That was really it. Otherwise, it was like local radio, and that was it. I mean, that was the environment, correct? You had a middleman, in other words.

Or you could buy time. The middlemen were... And you'd buy time from the middlemen. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. The middlemen were what we would call like program directors and EPs and executive producers who would,

you know, make you a guest on a show or whatever. Folks, the middlemen, the power of the middlemen is now almost completely gone. You have people like Joe Rogan, Tim Pool, Stephen Crowder, me, Ben Shapiro, who our collective audiences are larger than cable news channels. Believe me when I tell you, which again, Joe and Guy Cabot, there's no middleman here. The show is me, Joe, Guy, Justin, and Paula. That's the show. There's no middleman here. The show is me, Joe, Guy, Justin, and Paula. That's the show.

There's no middleman. There's nobody telling us what to do. Nothing. Decreasing the power of the middleman is a big deal. You're going to see more Tim Pooles and Crowders and Shapiros. But here's the but. Kind of on my first topic here. I hope I'm not boring you to death with this.

I just find this fascinating. It's going to make getting noticed in the future more expensive for individuals, meaning you'll have a shot you didn't have in the past because you weren't going to get the nightly news. You're not going to get Rush Limbaugh show in the past. You had to go through the middleman and not firing Limbaugh. God rest his soul for us.

He was the best. Okay. The problem is, even though you have access to the podcast market anyone can put a podcast on a and on itunes or spotify anyone the problem and i've had this conversation with a number of friends in the spaces getting noticed now that there are quite literally tens of thousands of podcasts per year popping onto the market. And at a minimum, thousands of conservative and liberty-based podcasts. I've said to even friends of mine who have huge followings, and they can vouch for me here.

I said, Guy, Joey Bag of Donuts, I know you got 2 million Twitter followers or 5 million Facebook. I said, I'm telling you, this is a tough business to crack into. It's tough. People have limited space on their podcast shelf. It's a tough bit. You're going to have to spend millions in ad revenue. That's the only downside.

Or you got to strike it rich from day one of content that's so amazing. It goes viral from day one, which is hard. You do a show every day. It's tough to produce viral content. We did it for such a long time for absolutely nothing, you and I. Remember? I mean no no yeah years joe we didn't spend if you remember we did not spend a dollar a dollar on marketing the show until about two years ago three years ago that was it we never

spent it just and because the content was good and there were really no competitors out there that's how we built right now. It's the second largest conservative podcast in America behind Ben Shapiro. So we thank you for that. It's going to get tough to be recognized in the future, though. Okay, folks. So yesterday I did a segment on inflation and how the White House was trying to blame big meat. I got a ton of feedback.

People saying, oh, there is a thing such as big meat. Listen, I'm not a big meat. This sounds like some kind of disgusting point big meat you got big meat but that's like a big meat like that's their thing big meat listen folks i am not suggesting to you here by the way is the washington examiner article how biden's attacking the big meatsters to me big meat did it big meat did it. Big meat did it. Everybody's laughing in the studio. This is hilarious. Big meat. I get it. There's concentration in the meat market.

This segment's going to go off the rails quickly. In the meat market with big meatsters. Nobody's saying there's not, that there's not a certain concentration in the market that maybe competition wouldn't help. That's not the point. People, I got people out West, Dan, you're saying big meat doesn't exist. No, I'm sure big meat exists. Everything's big. I get it.

That's not my point. You missed the point. My point is that don't fall for the stunt the White House is playing, trying to blame the countrywide inflation crisis in meat and cars and housing and rent. They're trying trying to and people are falling for oh yeah it is big meat did it so jim producer jim from the radio show he got a hold of this secret audio it's just devastating it's um the big meatsters he i don't know how he got a hold of this i don't know he's got this way of just finding stuff and it's the big meatsters. I don't know how he got a hold of this. I don't know. He's got this way of just finding stuff. And it's the big meatsters colluding. And Biden may have been right, colluding to cause a mass countrywide inflation crisis.

This is a very troubling audio. Check this out. The big meatsters. I want to thank all the members of the five families of big meat for attending this meeting. From big beef, we've got Johnny Ribeye. From Big Chicken, Tommy Two Eggs. From Big Pork, Vinny the Snout. Alright, calm down Vinny.

From Big Lamb, Joey Muttonchops. And finally from Big Turkey, the beard we've come together today to settle our differences and to sabotage meat prices that go so high that joe biden had this evidence as well of the big meatsters in the meat market talking about the big meat colluding effort so biden you're i mean we apologize to jen saki they must have video too. Very troubling stuff about big meat. Of course, big meat. Is big meat causing the $3,500 more per household that people are going to pay next year due to inflation? Yeah, I doubt it.

My point, folks, is not to deny there's a market concentration issue and that competition is a good thing. It should be. That's not what I was saying. Don't misinterpret it. What I'm saying, and we're doing through humor humor here is don't fall for the trick here. They know that there is some concentration in the meat market and these big four producers existed, but they've existed for decades now. The inflation crisis now clearly isn't due to just that.

And it's a distraction mechanism. Don't fall for it. Biden just doesn't want to take the blame for what he did. All right. Thanks for tuning in. Don't forget your questions for tomorrow's show.
