So we know the Democrats hate things like voter integrity measures, voter ID.

We get that. They don't want you questioning anything about the election unless you're Hillary Clinton or Al Gore questioning an election you lost, right? We know they love Zucker Bucks, Mark Zuckerberg and their group, their Facebook money going into Democrat districts. But there was a story I saw yesterday about what appears to be another measure for them to tilt the election coming up in their direction that shockingly, almost nobody's talking about. We're going to lead the show with that today. Don't go anywhere. Welcome to the Dan Bongino Show.

I've got that. I've got an update on the Elon Musk case with Twitter. And you know Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank? He was on CNBC just filleting the Twitter board because they're going to find themselves in a lot of trouble very quickly. I've got that. The Santa strikes again.

Psaki screwing up one more time at an update on the whipping case. So it is going to be a loaded show for you today. If you're looking for a firearm, I wholeheartedly recommend Henry Repeating Arms.

Why isn't this a bigger story? What is the Biden administration hiding about the 2022 election? Are they trying to interfere in the 2022 election like the media and big tech and others interfered in the 2020 election? Are they trying to do this again? Why don't they want people talking about it? Kind of strange, right? I saw this story in the Wall Street Journal, and I swear my first thought was, how is it that I haven't heard about this before? And what the hell are they hiding by denying Freedom of Information Act requests?

Here's the piece. It's called voter registration drive. What's Biden hiding? Apparently, they're mobilizing the federal government, the Biden administration, to sign people up. Well, as they know, the Wall Street Journal, that may sound benign, but it's far from it. Let me give you the background here, according to the journal on what they're doing, the Biden administration. Because folks, I don't trust the Democrats

as far as I can throw them. And given my arthritic shoulders, even though my right one's a little better, I can't throw them very far. Here's what they know, that President Biden's ordering all agencies in the federal bureaucracy to quote,, expand citizens opportunities to register to vote, to obtain information about and participate in the electoral process. That language was from a March 2021 executive order titled Promoting Access to Voting.

And they note it may sound benign. But it isn't. And it may conceal an abuse of power. But the administration, they note, is making it very difficult for the public to find out. Where have we seen this played out before, folks? We saw this play out with the Zuckerberg scandal. Remember Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook, that group they were affiliated with, that were pouring all of this money into get get out the vote efforts and the money was disproportionately going

to Democrat districts that largely vote Democrat. Now, the federal government, if the federal government is using the federal bureaucracy and the agencies within the federal bureaucracy, whatever they may be, to engage in get out the vote efforts, and those efforts are partisan based, then ladies and gentlemen, we got a serious, serious problem. Now, why would I imply that, that this may be a partisan effort? You get what I'm saying, right? If it's a nationwide effort, you know, to get out the vote, and it's done with no partisan intent, you may be able to pass muster on that. But if the Biden administration is taking taxpayer dollars to get out the votes for Democrats, we got a serious problem, a very serious problem. And I'm stunned. Like I

said, I haven't heard this story. I haven't heard this story before. So these guys that wrote this article, they put in a FOIA request for these agencies back in December of 2020. They say our FOIA requests focus on agencies named, excuse me, in a December 2020 plan by the left wing group Demos, which bears a striking resemblance to the president's order. More on that in a second. Demos urged the incoming administration to turn the bureaucracy into voter registration agencies. Yet not a single agency has provided the documents this group has requested, and most of them haven't responded at all, violating the law. I might add. So this group is like, hey, wait, wait, wait, wait. You've got federal agencies engaged in what appears to be a massive

get-out-the-vote effort. We'd like to take a look at that to see what you're doing, because the list of agencies that you guys are pushing for this voter registration effort seems to look a lot like a left wing group called Demos that put out a paper showing that you should use these agencies to engage in a voter registration job. I mean, wouldn't it be weird, right? If CMS, the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services, was doing some kind of voter registration, was there a wink and a nod there to register people in certain areas over other areas? Gee, I'd like to know that.

Now, of course, the left doesn't want you to talk about this which we promptly give them the double-barreled family friendly and we talk about it anyway because whenever the left tells us not to talk about this it typically means they're worried about something don't you find it quite strange that legal FOIA requests freedom of information act requests of the government which you must reply to. It's not optional. It's not a question. It's an answer. It is a legal process that for some reason these agencies are not responding, that they're violating the law to hide what they're doing with this voter registration drive. I find that kind of strange. I mean,

you want to send a postcard to everyone in America, everyone in America eligible. Hey, here's where you can register to vote. Okay. You probably wouldn't have a hard time with that. But wouldn't it be really weird, Joe, if let's say those postcards only went out to CMS Medicaid recipients in Democrat areas? That would be really weird. Yeah, real strange. I mean, we already know they hate voter ID, Democrats. They hate any voter integrity measure at all. They love fraud.

They don't want any questions about elections. We know that. We know they love to tilt the playing field with their Zuckerbox type efforts. But folks, this would be a new low. I mean, this is stunning. Why isn't this a bigger story? I'm going to follow this and stay on top of this. I have to be candid with you. I haven't heard about this story. I know about Demos and their group. I get that.

But I hadn't heard about this. And this is really, really troubling, disturbing stuff. Now, what could be going on there? Well, we know the left has to cheat. We get that. I mean, the left and cheating in elections, I mean, that's their thing. They've been talking about elections and trying to steal elections for a long time. I mean, look at the crap they pulled in 2020 with big tech, the crap they pulled in 2016

with the ridiculous collusion hoax. I'll give you an update on that at the end if I can get to it. But we know they have to cheat cheat because the show is over for them people are waking up their efforts to sexualize people's kids they're pushed to take over the schools and teach their kids that they're racist through crt their their high tax policies which are leading us to nothing more than government spending and mass inflation their open borders policies being shown on the news now every night because of drone and social media technology.

They can't hide their sick agenda anymore. So they have to cheat to win. And Republicans are figuring out, I'm going to say, I'm going to say this, and it's not an effort to plan a wet one on anyone's caboose here. But I think Donald Trump really changed the game for Republican politicians. I'm serious. Now, instead of sitting back and letting the left's agenda run roughshod and constantly playing defense, which we did in the past, you know it. Republican voters, you know it. We used to apologize for things we didn't even do in the Republican party.

Donald Trump flipped the script on that. He created, I think, a new generation of politicians that figured out, screw this defense. The best defense, as I said in boxing all the time, is a good offense. Because when you're punching the other guy, he's not thinking about offense himself. He's thinking about defense. The best defense is a good offense. They're no longer accepting the standard media narratives. Here's what I mean. Ron DeSantis down in Florida. We haven't done one of these in a while, but this is a perfect example of Ron DeSantis strikes again. This guy gets it we haven't done one of those he gets he never ever stops going on offense which forces the democrats and the media although they're a symbiote they're the same thing

which forces them as they're all let me explain i don't want to screw this up this is so important why going on the offense matters whereas the democrats want to focus in like a laser on one desantis hoax like ron desantis gave out vaccines to the publics in florida because they were a campaign donor which was like a total hoax it's the biggest grocery chain in florida as they're focused on that desantis hits you in another direction with like the Disney thing or this thing. You get what I'm saying? The Democrats never have a chance to settle on one DeSantis narrative. They were just complaining about the redistricting in Florida, DeSantis' new congressional map, and DeSantis turns and hits them with a body blow as they were covering their face. You get what I'm saying? This is the way to do it. You hit them with so many fronts that they don't know where to allocate their

forces. The Democrats have done this to us for years. And now DeSantis and Trump have figured out that when you flip the script with the dipsy do flip a room that the same phenomenon works in the other direction. It's impossible to get a narrative to stick if they constantly have to defend themselves. Here's what I mean. Disney, one of the most anti-family friendly companies in America, a company that has destroyed and decimated their entire reputation. Sell their stock. Do not go to their parks anymore, cancel Disney+. Disney+, Disney, it has come out in favor of sexualizing kids in kindergarten. It's disgusting.

Fighting against DeSantis' anti-grooming bill. What, I don't know, are they for grooming? It's gross what Disney's up to. DeSantis basically said all right disney you want to play a heavy duty hop political hardball in the state we can do that too so i want you to listen to this this is desantis there's a reedy creek district the shoot long and short of it is reedy creek allows disney in that area the re Creek District, to basically make its own, you know, govern itself in that district. Saves Disney a lot of money.

Listen to DeSantis on that. Check this out. I am announcing today that we are expanding the call of what they are going to be considering this week. And so, yes, they will be considering the congressional map, but they also will be considering termination of all special districts that were enacted in Florida prior to 1968. And that includes the Reedy Creek Improvement District. You see how it works? The lefties in the media are so focused on the congressional map in Florida and calling Ron DeSantis a racist,

which is their answer to everything, by the way, which we already know, laughably calling him a racist. And as they're focused on that, he flips the script, takes on Disney again, and now they're back calling him like what, an anti-corporatist? I thought that was the left's message. You see how he constantly keeps them off guard? I thought that was the left's message. You see how he constantly keeps them off guard? If you're thinking about running for office or supporting someone, this is the way you do it.

You take this Trump, the Santus model, and you go on offense all the time. And ladies and gentlemen, it works. I believe in facts and data, not BS. Postmillennial article, Nick Monroe, be in the bongino.com newsletter check it out most americans still approve of florida's anti-grooming law despite the left smear campaign new poll 57 percent of people support the anti-grooming law in florida 47 percent believe don't say gay is a misleading label folks we have lost for years on these culture wars fights and now we're getting this trump desantis model and the use of social media of memes of of of of everything does have to be so serious using memes and stuff and satire. Remember, there's nothing worse people hate more in power than to be laughed at.

Nothing. We are starting to win and turn the tide because offense matters. The best defense is a good offense. You're not going to be grooming kids in our state, not in Florida. And it's starting to catch on. And they are in a panic, so much so, Jen Psaki yesterday ridiculously started crying about this bill because Jen Psaki and the White House are hell-bent on sexualizing your kids. It is the most freaky thing I have ever seen in my 30 years following politics. I have never seen anything like this. They are obsessed with teaching your kids about sex, telling them about their sex. I don't care about where you put your thing. I don't care. Keep it out of the classroom. It's gross.

Stop talking to kids about sex. It's disgusting. I don't understand where this is appropriate. I can't imagine being in an IBM C-suite with a bunch of executives talking about your five-year growth plan for your computer business or whatever it may be. And then one day going, hey, who was knocking boots last night with their spouse? Oh, me. You'd be fired instantly. This is the weirdest thing I have ever seen. Peppermint crying because they can't talk to, she has kids, right?

Crying because they can't talk to their kids about sex in school? Jen, Peppermint, you want to talk to your kindergartners about sex? You do you. It's weird and super creepy, but you do you. Keep that out of my kids classroom period it was the great kaylee mcinerney we adore in this show kaylee was on i think hannity last night and she addressed this jen saki was it a podcast appearance? What is crying, crying, crying because she can't. The White House can't force sexualize a bunch of kindergartners. She hit the nail on the head with this last night, talking about you want to cry about someone give you something to cry about.

Here, check this out. When my daughter goes to school, I don't want her learning about those things, coming home and teaching, being taught things that I then have to explain to her. And of all the issues to cry and get upset about, Sean, there's a war in Ukraine. There is bloodshed in our streets, children literally dying on the streets from crime that is totally out of control and rampant. There is COVID where more Americans have died on Joe Biden's watch than on President Trump's. There is a lot to cry about. Namely, if you want to cry about one issue in this country right now, I think the press secretary should cry about the 62 million children that do not exist, that have been aborted because of Roe v. Wade, a heinous, heinous decision in this country that has exterminated about one fifth of the United States population.

So if you want to cry, don't cry about forcing sexuality on kindergartners. That is sick. Cry about the 62 million children who can't even go to kindergarten. You got a trifecta of applause here going. Yes! Yes! Got people dying in Ukraine. You got tens of thousands of lives being snuffed out due to the plague of abortion in this country. I don't see anybody crying about that in the left. Disproportionately affecting many minority communities as well. I don't see anybody crying about that.

Crying about that, plague of crime in minority communities, Chicago and elsewhere, wiping out the next generation living in fear. I don't see anyone crying about that. Kind of weird, right? All lives matter. All lives matter, including our citizens in these minority communities being targeted by crime every single day. You want to cry about something, cry about that. They're citizens too. This is their country too. They're entitled to live in peace. So speaking of Psaki, who was in tears yesterday, I think a lot of people were in tears after a bunch of border agents doing their job at the border, trying to keep people from entering the country illegally who were on horseback,

were accused of being slave drivers and whipping people. Those accusations were ridiculous. They were farcical. They were defamatory. I think these border agents should sue. Remember the whipping saga? People were whipped at the border. They were whipped, really?

Because it was just an investigation that determined that this was nonsense, which we knew from the start. They were reins, reins on the horses, you idiots on the left. But of course, there was a race narrative, a class warfare narrative and an anti-law enforcement narrative. So that story worked out great for them, even though it was false. So Peter Doocy confronted Jen Psaki and said, hey, listen, you know, Joe Biden and you both accused these border agents of whipping people. Now, obviously false.

When can they expect an apology? And of course, zero dignity. Psaki's answer was basically go pound sand. Check this out. We've been told that the mounted Border Patrol officers, the president accused of whipping migrants, have been notified they will not face criminal charges. So when is the president going to apologize to them? There is a process and an investigation that's gone through the Department of Homeland Security. I don't have any update on that. The president said that they were whipping people, which would be a criminal offense, and they've been told they're not going to be criminally charged. And there was an investigation into that. And I'll let the Department of Homeland

Security announce any conclusion of that investigation. You accuse these officers of brutal and inappropriate measures now that they've been told they will not be criminally charged will you apologize and peter there was an investigation into their behavior so that investigation is playing out is whenever there it's going to be announced the department of homeland security will announce that and i'm sure we'll have a comment on it after that go ahead these people are just disgusting. They really, they have no spine at all. None. None. Zero dignity whatsoever.

You have these border agents who, by the way, their pay scale is public. You can go look to see what they make. I promise you, they're not making hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. They're paid a rather modest salary to do an impossible job. Secure a border. Nobody wants secured, but them, the Biden administration doesn't care. I'm talking about the Biden administration.

Obviously you and I want it secured. They're paid peanuts for the risk they take putting themselves on the front line every single day for an impossible job. And you've got these dip wads in the white house. These, this filth in the white house, calling these people, implying that they're slave drivers, that they were whipping people, knowing, make no mistake, knowing from the start the story was false. And when it's proven false, is there any apology coming?

No. These people are filth. They're filth. And they disgust me, and they should disgust you, too. This is what left this vote for destruction of people's lives based on their ridiculous fairy tales all right moving on i got to do an update on the elon story because elon musk the story about elon musk and his potential takeover of twitter as i said every single day covering this is not just

about elon and twitter It is about elections. It is about the free flow of information. It is about the First Amendment. It is about government big tech collusion to suppress free speech. It is about a lot of things. Elon's fight is a very brave one, regardless of your feelings about Elon Musk.

He is looking to spend a lot of his money and a lot of his time on trying to get Twitter back to a free speech platform. Folks, his time is valuable. Elon Musk's time is probably the most valuable time in the world. Time's the same for all of us, but we're not all paid the same for it. Elon Musk is considered one of the tech geniuses of our time. The fact that he's spending all of this time to try and get Twitter back to a free speech platform, I have to tell you, is admirable. Fox News is reporting that he's going to make another move for Twitter within 10 days.

This was coming out yesterday, so we got nine days left. After Twitter adopted the poison pill to try to prevent Elon Musk from taking over the company by destroying shareholder value with the poison pill, which would create a dilution event and more stock hurting the shareholders. Folks, the Twitter board is digging deeper and deeper and deeper. I can't emphasize enough that the Twitter board has a fiduciary legal obligation to do what's in the best interest of Twitter shareholders. Now, they may have escaped lawsuits, which I'm not sure, I'm just, may, may have escaped lawsuits in turning down Elon's buyout offer, maybe. They may have escaped lawsuits on that, suggesting they were waiting for a better offer. But here's my question for you. If I have a financial obligation to do what's

in Joe's best interest and someone offers Joe a job for $100,000 and I tell Joe to turn it down because I think another offer is going to come in for 120, you damn well better be sure that offer for 120 comes in. Yes, sir. And what happens when that 120 offer is from the same company that started the 100 offer and just upped it to 120. Sooner or later, you better tell Joe to take that offer or you're going to be subjected to lawsuits by Armacost. That's what's happening now. The Twitter board turned down the 5420 per share offer saying, oh, I don't know. For new share responsibility, we may have a better offer out there. We think the company's worth more. So now Fox is reporting that Elon's going to put another offer together with some other investors. But what if the offer is 60? Then what do you do?

So just to be clear, you got no other paper offers, none, although you said you might, and then you get another paper offer and it's from Elon again at a higher price, you're going to turn that down? You think you're not going to get sued? I'm not sure you're not going to be sued about turning down the first offer. Turning down the second one, you're practically begging to be sued as a board member. They keep digging deeper and deeper and deeper. Now, one of the ridiculous assertions the Twitter board continues to make is that, no, this company has value above what Elon is offering, even though Elon's offering more than it's worth now. The stock is in the 40s. Elon's offering $54. So even though Elon's

offering a premium, the Twitter board keeps coming back and saying, no, no, no, we're meeting our fiduciary responsibility to shareholders because we believe the company is worth more. You do? That's interesting because nobody else believes that anywhere. Matter of fact, the company is run so badly that people have been losing money on this stock who bought in for a very long time. Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank. You know him, Kevin O'Leary? Kevin O'Leary, this is a little bit long, about a minute, 20 seconds, but it's worth your time.

Kevin O'Leary, he's a truth teller. If you ever watched him on Shark Tank, man, if he thinks your company sucks, he's like, hey, your company sucks. Here's Kevin O'Leary on CNBC yesterday talking about how awful of a company this really is, Twitter, and how they better perk up real quick to these offers. Check this out. This debate around curating content is not unique to Twitter. This is a problem for all social media platforms. And over the last decade, almost 10 years, this company has been public. And if you compare its performance, let's talk about investors. This is the most miserable investment you could have put your dollars into in social media.

It has totally lagged all its other competitors, never grew anywhere near as fast as Google or Facebook or Instagram or even TikTok that just cleaned it out almost right away in a matter of months. in a matter of months, you have to ask yourself that the rotating suite of executives have come through this thing and all the stock options issued over the last nine years have created virtually no value for the shareholder. Now, the best way to look at this is you gave them a decade, why not get the whacking stick out and just start all over again? And that's what Elon Musk is proposing. The biggest risk for shareholders here, whether you believe in the free speech issue or not, is if Musk goes away,

then they're back in the same miserable place they are now. You know, there's Dante's hell. At the very bottom of that is Twitter. This has been a horrific place to try and grow a business. It needs change. It needs the whacking stick. It needs everybody cleaned out of there. And I think, frankly, if you ask me about free speech and who should be canceled, who's not, the reason this thing is underperformed is they've tried to do this

curation by canceling voices and losing millions of followers. This is an unbisable performance. Wow. You hear it? Kevin O'Leary, he goes, you know, there's Dante's hell, and beneath that is Twitter. Now, listen, I get it. You may not, even though I've made some very good investments, you may say, ah, Dan, whatever, politics guy. Kevin's not a politics guy. Kevin O'Leary is a business guy who's made a fortune in business. He's telling you this investment is garbage. The Twitter board is

claiming to have this hidden value in the company. Well, if it's so hidden, they must be hiding it from the Twitter board because they can't grow it either. I got to take a break for one of our sponsors. But when I come back on the other side, he said something else in there about options. That again, you're not wasting your time here i've been mentioning it now mentioning it for two weeks how important that is what he said he didn't say that by accident how the stock options matter stand by i'll get to that in a second and uh a clip by joe biden probably i'd have to venture to say his most hilarious clip yet unintentionally hilarious but the options thing matters. It's going to be important. Stay tuned. Okay. So Mr. Wonderful

there stated the obvious that if Twitter company was so valuable, then why isn't it so valuable? Gee, the money ball rule strikes again. If he's a good hitter, why didn't he hit good? Twitter's so valuable, then why isn't it valuable? Why are all these people out there who have money to spend, they want to make money, not investing in Twitter? The answer is because Twitter is not valuable. That's why the board at Twitter, the executives of Twitter have not figured out a way to grow this company. They got smoked by Tik TOK. They've been smoked by just about every other social media company out there.

And the only people that love Twitter are the leftist media types who can use it to manipulate elections. But he said something in between about the stock options. Folks, I've said to you for now a couple weeks since Elon's offer, the stock options that were given out to employees, corporate executives at Twitter, and others, I don't know who else has a hand in these options. They are worthless.

It's not like stock. Again, I'm sorry. I know the conservatives, you get this, but there are liberals listening who are kind of dopey and They are worth it. It's not like stock. Again, I'm sorry. I know the conservatives, you get this, but there are liberals listening who are kind of dopey and don't get it. If you're given stock in a company, then you're given stock. When it's worth, it's worth. You're given a thousand shares at a dollar each, you have a thousand dollars, right? The market price changes.

It goes to $2, you have $2,000. That's not the way stock options work. It goes to $2, you have $2,000. That's not the way stock options work. If you're given a stock option, an option to purchase the stock, or given the stock at a strike price, right? Let's say the strike price of the option is $1. Well, if the stock stays below $1 and is 50 cents, you're not given anything.

You're not given anything. You're not given anything. You say, well, what if they're given the option to buy it? Why would you buy it for a dollar if it's on the market at 50 cents? You get it? You could just go buy it in the market cheaper. All of these employees at Twitter, not all, many of them, and especially the executives, are paid in options that are worthless. They mean nothing. They mean nothing. Who knows how many options were given away to people who incentivize their promotion to Twitter, whatever it may be. We have no idea. They're worthless. Elon Musk is offering them a pool of money for the first time where their stocks are actually going to be worth something. They have two choices. Take your millions in options or take zero. And these idiots are turning it down. You almost have to respect the ideal.

You don't have to like it, but you darn well better respect it in the sense that you understand the battle features ahead, the terrain features of the battle. I should say these people want to censor so bad to manipulate politics and elections that you can't question. They are literally leaving millions of dollars on the table to do it. It's sick. It's sick, but the table to do it. It's sick. It's sick.

But they want to censor, and they want to censor so badly, even at the cost of millions, if not tens of millions of dollars of their own personal income, because they understand that Twitter censoring people will make people believe BS like this from Joe Biden. Here's Biden yesterday. I mean, of all the dumb things this man has ever said, this one has to be the king of stupid statements emanating from the soup cooler of Joe Biden. Check this out. I was listed.

I had the great pleasure of being listed as the poorest man in Congress for 36 years. I still hadn't making a hell of a lot more money than anybody else because I was getting a senator's salary. No kidding. I didn't think you should make money while you're in office. But anyway, the point of it is this. An awful lot of people are hurting. It makes a big difference. Poorest man in Congress. Now, in one respect, Joe, he's kind of correct.

I mean, Joe Biden, the name Joe Biden, and the associated assets with the name Joe Biden may make him poor by congressional standards because they all get filthy rich over there. But Joe, the big guy is very rich. Now, the big guy is like a Clark Kent Superman kind of thing. You're meant to believe they're two different people. The big guy, the superhero version of Joe Biden, and the Clark Kent Joe Biden. But they're really the same person. I've always wondered, I am a comic book buff, was growing up,

how people didn't recognize that Clark was Superman with glasses on. It's the same guy. He didn't manipulate his face. He didn't use his powers from Krypton to up his cheekbones and lower his chin. It's the same dude. Glasses. Now, Joe Biden, what does he put the aviators on and he's the big guy? Now, if you believe this, you are probably a Twitter user who didn't see the story before the election about Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, engaged in an international multimillion dollar grifting operation with enemies of the United States, where he's alleged to have taken significant amount of funds from enemies of the United States and other countries as well, the Ukrainians as well. And in emails, he's alleged to have passed money on to the big guy, as alleged by Tony Bobulinski, the business partner of the deal. Of course, you would think he'd have a little more self-awareness to say dumb stuff like that, but he figures he puts the aviators on, he can turn into the big guy and no one

will notice that they're two different people what a scammer folks we got an important election coming up we had a very important election coming up in 2022 now i know i told you in the beginning that the democrats are obsessed with unleveling the playing field and tilting elections in their direction i get that but you are never going to get me to tell you to give up. I'm sorry. I got an email from a guy the other day. I'm not voting anymore. I don't believe my vote counts. I don't know what to tell you, man. You want to give up? Give up. I legitimately don't know what to tell you. If you're committing to, I'm giving up, try Canada. Maybe Justin Trudeau will take. I don't know what to tell you. I legitimately don't know what to tell you.

We won elections in Florida. We've won elections around the country. We have a 50-50 Senate and we're within a few votes of taking the House. Your alternative is full Democrat control and I wrote down a list of things you can get. You can get more inflation. You like that?

More illegals in the country, more fraud, more sex in schools, more CRT, more taxes, and more mask mandates. Again, I'm not suggesting to you that elections aren't an issue and election integrity. I just opened the show talking about it. I literally opened the show talking about it.

And I'm not suggesting to you either that the Republicans are going to be the solution to all your problems. However, I am suggesting to you with absolute certainty that the cause of all your problems are the Democrats in charge now. So you have two choices. Take your chances with one side or definitely get screwed by the other side i'm taking my chance here's what i mean folks washington examiner please read this story it'll be in the newsletter again it's bongino.com slash newsletter just click subscribe it's free you won't spam your inbox anna giortelli 42 arrested at the border under b Biden were on the terror watch list, according to DHS data, because I can see Libs already. Where'd they get the data?

From Biden's DHS. Oh, okay. Now, to be clear, I think it's about 20 or so that were caught at the southern border. The other were caught entering illegally, nonetheless, but by different means. Folks, these are just the ones we know about. You want more of this? Folks, please, I'm begging you again with humility and respect. I'm not telling you the Republicans are the solution to all your problems. We got our own swamp to deal with there. But the Democrats are unquestionably the cause of this. And there is nowhere else else to go we can either fix this place or it really is over

there is no option c there is no option b forget about c we're never going to get to c i say c so much so option b it's fix this place or nothing reminds me what i used to say about grappling when i was doing brazilian jiu-jitsu people had asked me new guys like yeah you got any like rules or guidelines for, I'd be like, yes, let me give you three rules of grappling. Stay off your back is rule number one. Rule number two, refer back to rule number one. Rule number three, if in doubt, check back with rule number two and rule number one. Those are my rules for ground. That's the rules here too about voting. You got to vote folks. We need you. Terror watch list people sliding the country. How many do we not know about by the way? How many gotaways? You know, gotaways people who got

away. So we don't know about them. So you can probably figure by simple math. And let me say, I'm speculating here because we don't know. You can't prove it counterfactual. But if we caught 42 people on the terror watch list, how many do you think got away? 80? 120? 500? The answer is, I don't know. You don't either. Because they got away.

Want more of this? Here's more of what's coming in the 2022 election. If we don't show up and show up in mass, grab your kids, grab your mom, grab your neighbors, grab everyone, put them in the van and take them to the polling location and vote early. Some people say, oh, I don't vote early in protest. Folks, something could happen to you. God forbid you get in a car accident. I'm not a big fan of early voting either.

I think it sucks. I've been a victim of it in my own election. not a big fan of early voting either. I think it sucks. I've been a victim of it in my own election. It causes a whole bunch of headaches for candidates who have to staff polls for like 14 straight days and who don't have money. Rich candidates love early voting and staff the polls forever. But please show up early. Something could happen. Here's what else you can expect. You can expect the mandates to come back if they win in 2022. Why? They're already going crazy that they can't force people to wear masks on airlines.

Look at this Fox story. Furious liberals revolt after Trump appointed judge lifts mask mandate, calling them idiot airlines. Here's a guy on Twitter. This guy is just like his opinions on social media are just people laugh at him now. Eric Fiegelding, Dr. Eric Ding. He's a blue checkmark guy. So of course he's got to be important. He is so upset. He can't order you to put a face diaper on. He says, I will not be flying Alaska Air until they reinstate public safety measures against COVID. Boycott Alaska Air. Eric, please do that. Please. I don't fly Alaska Air much, but if I do, it would be really great to not have you on the flight. So I support

that boycott 100%. Thank you, Dr. Eric Fegelding. Please stay off Alaska Air. That's A-OK with me. They're losing their minds because they're upset. They want you in the diaper. Two, three face diapers, seven diapers, a crotch diaper, ear diapers. Joe, diapers over the eyes. You never know. You can feel your way around. If you have the diaper over your face, you don't want to get in your eyes either. No.

I mean, the mask thing. I know. I can't because i'll go on forever with the mask thing i'm gonna get this audio quick a video coming up of lester hall through nbc again suggesting falsely as most of these media people do that there is a strong body of scientific evidence proving the efficacy of these masks that is not accurate it is a straight up false thing to say. There is not a large body of evidence proving this at all. As I've said before, a well-fitted mask, there is some evidence that on the transmission side, if you're actively coughing, it can mitigate things. So if you're sick, if you have to go out, put a good mask on. There is zero strong, robust, randomly controlled trial evidence that these cloth masks are doing anything to mitigate the spread of COVID.

Zero. They're just lying. I'll play that coming up in a second. My last sponsor, you hear him at the beginning of every show. So I love having him here because it's important to have a VPN. When did we decide to stop upholding free speech as a basic right? What's playing out right now, big tech companies and social media sites, sets a really dangerous precedent.

Look, it doesn't matter what your politics are or who you voted for. Everyone should have the right to express themselves freely.

Thanks ExpressVPN. Okay, here it is. Lester Holt from NBC. Of course, the media has to pile on with an ongoing disinformation campaign about masks, insisting somehow that there's some phantom body of research no one's seen proving the efficacy of these things. Here, check this out. Many health experts point out that legal decision may not square with science and an upward tick in COVID cases around the country.

The new freedom to doff face masks on planes they warn may also put small children and those with compromised immune systems at risk. And now late word. The Justice Department may appeal the judge's ruling. I guess I told you yesterday the justice, the Biden Justice Department appeals this ruling. Ladies and gentlemen, it's going to be a disaster for them before the election, but they don't care. It goes back to me telling you I get the emails all the time, Dan, stop warning the Democrats about what they're doing wrong. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. They can't stop. Do you understand these people are in a cult? It doesn't matter. They know they are going to get annihilated in the 2022 election. They will demand you put the face diaper back on, even if you tell them get the hell out of office. The only thing that will stop them are real material losses.

I can't say it enough. When they lose power, they lose assets, they lose jobs in some cases, they lose lobbying gigs. When that happens, this will change, which makes it even more important you vote in 2022. Here's another thing that will be coming your way. More taxes. Biden's already talking about raising the corporate tax. Oh, that affects businesses. Really? It affects businesses?

Who do you think the businesses get the money from? Oh, me? Yes, that's right. Me and you. That's where businesses get the money from? Oh, me? Yes, that's right. Me and you. That's where businesses get the money from. So when businesses have to pay higher taxes, they charge higher prices and they pay their employees less. See, Democrats don't tell you that because they're idiots. Okay. I'm a Republican. I care about the truth. I'm a conservative first. And I tell you the truth. When you tax corporations, which are just groups of people who get their money from people and

their value from employees, they pay employees less and charge people more. Of course, Democrats won't tell you any of that. They just love a quick, easy talking point. So if we lose in 2022, you'll be getting more taxes too. And I've never seen a study more, I should say, that's a better example of the difference between blue state, big spending, high tax policies in red states than this. So they put out a list. Paul Bedard covered it in the Washington Examiner. Again, be in the newsletter today. Red states, top blue states for low taxes and the best economies.

So here's the list. In its 15th annual report, time for tax day the american legislative exchange council reports that eight of the best states for economies and taxes are republican controlled while every state in the bottom 10 are controlled by democrats the worst being new york now joe we haven't said this in a while but in some limited circles what would we call that a clue a clue yes sir we haven't said that in a long time yeah that's an old timer we've been using that from the beginning that would be you know criminal investigator and all joe's learning these skills that would be called a clue the top top 10 states

eight of 10 are controlled by republican policies right and republicans the worst 10 states for their economies are all led by democrats we'd call a clue, but Democrats don't call that a clue because they're clue less. They don't get clues. They lie to you all the time, okay? They're also lying to you. This is why I brought up the corporate taxes. Biden wants to hike the corporate tax, and if we lose in 2022, we'll have the votes. And I get it.

Democrats, this, and that. That's great. Make those businesses pay more. Okay, you're a moron and a sucker. They're not going to pay more. You're going to pay more. Why? Because they're already paying more now. They are. Yeah, they are. Now, the Democrats listening to this show are like, corporations can't possibly be paying more. Donald Trump cut the corporate tax from 35% to 21% 2017. So if he cut the corporate tax rate, that clearly means corporations were paying less.

I'm sorry, you're really not that bright. Cutting tax rates a lot of the time, not all the time, but a lot of the time leads to higher tax revenue. Why? Because when you cut the taxes on people, the money goes back into the economy. When the economy grows, so you're getting a bigger piece of a larger pie. You don't believe me? Here's the data right in front of your face. Again, liberals, data, facts. I know it's not your thing, but just try it for once. Open those eyeballs, clockwork orange style. Wall Street Journal, corporate tax reform worked. Revenue is surging, exceeding even what the CBO and critics predicted. So here's a little chart. Remember all the critics after Donald Trump cut the corporate tax rate again from 35 to 21%?

Gosh, these corporations are going to get over. They're going to pay even less. Did they? Well, here's what they estimated. Look at the numbers. So after the tax cuts, the CBO alarmist said, here's what they'll raise in 2021, 22, and 23. They'll raise $327 billion, $353 billion, and $388 billion. Now, you want to see the actual numbers? So in 2021, they raised $372 billion. I don't know, Joe, but that looks like more than $327 billion, the estimate. Yeah, it is.

$372 billion. Okay, thanks. You're cool. Just kidding. You can keep your eyes on that. My eyes are getting a little bad as I get older. know joe but that looks like more than 327 billion the estimate yeah just yeah 372 okay thanks just give you can keep your eyes on that my eyes are getting a little bad as i get older so remember they told us we would lose money after the tax cut that's weird because it's actually more than their estimate um 2022 it says the actual corporate tax revenue was 454 billion yet the cbo estimated 353 billion again joe is that it's more more right yeah on the high side thank you yeah 100 100 billion more um so again as i've told you repeatedly after the reagan tax cuts tax revenue doubled after the bush tax cuts tax cuts uh went up dramatically we had like the largest something like like the largest four-year run in American history on the income tax

side. Donald Trump cuts the corporate tax rate and tax revenue goes higher, even higher than the CBO's estimates by $100 billion. But yeah, don't let facts get in the way of a good argument. Why? It's very simple, folks. You cut the taxes on, say, steel, the scissors are cheaper for the barbers. When the barbers can buy better scissors, they can do better haircuts. When they

can do better haircuts, they do more business, therefore raise more money. When they raise more money by doing more business, they pay more taxes. And then they buy more and better scissors after that from people who buy more steel, which even though the tax rate's lower on the corporation side, the economy grows bigger. I mean, you have to ask yourself, right? Would you rather have, say, 20% of a $100 economy? Well, let's use the actual numbers. The tax rate was 35%. Would you rather have 35% of a $100 economy or 20% of a $10,000 economy? Well, if you're a liberal, you're like, I'd rather have the 35%, of course, because math isn't really your thing.

Check that out and get back to us. All right, folks. Thanks again for tuning in. We really appreciate it. I hope you enjoyed the show today.
