the talking points went out it's a viral blizzard joe a viral blizzard everybody get your snooker here it is play this cut the viral blizzard has arrived check this out i think we're really just about to experience a viral blizzard you heard infectious disease expert michael osterholm say that we're about to end experience a viral blizzard one expert now warns a viral blizzard. You heard infectious disease expert Michael Osterholm say that we're about to experience a viral blizzard. One expert now warns a viral blizzard. As the country braces for a viral blizzard. There will be a viral blizzard of COVID cases.

The country is facing a viral blizzard. A COVID viral blizzard. A viral blizzard is about to hit the U.S. One infectious disease expert saying a, quote, viral blizzard is about to hit the U.S. One infectious disease expert saying a, quote, viral blizzard is about to hit this country. So predictable. So cringeworthy, folks. They just can't stop. Clearly, the memo went out.

I don't know, Joe. Maybe yesterday morning. Hey, everyone. Viral blizzard. Folks, please. It is a Merry Christmas season. It's supposed to be joyful. I'm serious.

I'm not being funny right now. You, your families, enjoy yourselves. Protect yourself. If you're sick, stay home. That's it. Enjoy yourself. You are Americans living in the greatest country, not just now, in the history of sentient beings.

There is nothing like this place. Even with this disaster in charge now and these idiots in the media, you are blessed to be alive in this country at this time. Enjoy yourselves. Enjoy your family. Give gifts. Give thanks to God. Give thanks to your family for being there for you.

Forgive people who need forgiveness. I need a lot of it, but have fun. Enjoy yourselves with the nonsense. My gosh, it never ends. And thankfully yesterday, here's what I'm thankful for. A random act of journalism. Listen, credit where credit's due. David Muir of ABC. I don't ever know if I'm saying his name right. I'm not doing a Muir or Muir. I'm not saying it wrong. I'm to be funny. David Muir at ABC.

Really, I can never say this guy's name right. I know that's not the way to say it. David at ABC, Joe Biden gave him an interview in the White House and it aired yesterday. And stunningly, he started asking some serious questions. I'll get to some video of that in a second. But it was a random act of journalism, which is shocking. The reason I say that is even Politico playbook, Politico is a lefty outlet. I mean, big time lefty outlet.

But playbook's a pretty good email to get on. You know, listen, you want to know what the left is talking about. You don't want to be like the left is with us, where they're always surprised. My gosh, we lost the election to Trump. What happened? You saw that coming from a mile away because we understood the left is talking about. You don't want to be like the left is with us, where they're always surprised. Like, my gosh, we lost the election to Trump. What happened? You saw that coming from a mile away because we understood the left. They never understand us. So I'm on their email list over there, a playbook. And this morning they sent out their email and they had an interesting thing in here that even political playbook, which is again, pretty, pretty left. They're like, you know, this is interesting. You know, Joe Biden basically ran

on testing, Joe, like that was his thing. Like we got to fix the testing. Trump sucked on testing. We got to do testing, testing, testing. So playbook says, listen, this struck us as a strange response from the president. He's talking about the interview. I'll get, I'll do it in reverse. I'll get to the interview in a second with David Muir when he asks him about testing. He says for the playbook says for a year, Biden's been promising to fix the lack of testing capacity in the U.S. Here's a short history of his Joe Biden's testing promises. January 22nd, he promised a war footing to aggressively speed up our COVID response on vaccines and testing. February 17th, he announced

a new series of actions to expand COVID testing, improve the availability of tests and better prepare for the threat of variants. It didn't work out too well. March 11th, Biden says we'll continue to work on making at-home testing available. It's December. July 6th, Biden says we're going to deploy things like testing to expand detection of the virus. So this is weird, folks, because the testing strategy is garbage. But he can't even get the garbage right. The testing strategy is dumb. It's a respiratory virus.

There's nothing wrong with getting a test, but it's not a strategy to stop the virus because the test is only as good as when the next person breathes on you. The testing, it's not like, you know, again, an STD where if you don't engage in high risk behavior, I said this yesterday and you get a negative test, you can stay negative. You don't know that with a COVID test. You get a test negative, a guy breathes on you a second later, you could have COVID. The testing strategy is stupid. My point is not to defend Biden's defensive testing. It's to show Biden ran on testing. His presidency has been centered on testing.

The strategy sucks. And he can't even implement the sucky strategy. It's incredible. Here, proving my point. David from ABC here gets this interview and he asks biden about that weir says listen man you basically ran on this test they did you talked about it forever like what's going on people want to go visit their relatives on christmas they want a negative test there's lines around the block again i'm not suggesting this strategy is any good, but Muir's like, what the hell, daddy-o? Here, check this out. Learned just before we sat down together here that Omicron has now been detected in all 50 states.

And you told the American people just yesterday that we are prepared for what's coming. But three days before Christmas, if you look out across the country, you see it everywhere, these long lines, people waiting for hours outside in the cold just to get tested, to be reassured before they spend time with their family. I saw it in Washington today coming to the White House. If you go to the pharmacy, we hear this over and over again, empty shelves, no test kits. Is that a failure? No, I don't think it's a failure. I think it's, you could argue that we should have known a year ago, six months ago, two months ago, a month ago.

I've ordered half a billion of the pills, 500 million pills. I'm assuming 500 million test kits that are gonna be available to be sent to every home in America if anybody wants them. But the answer is, yeah, I wish I had thought about ordering a half a billion pills two months ago before COVID hit here. Finally, an honest question. The guy's full of crap. His strategy's dumb. And even the dumb strategy he can't implement. This is a double layer of stupid. I'm serious. I'm serious. It's a double layer of dumb. His strategy is dumb. He knows his strategy is dumb. One of the questions I got, and we're going

to do questions later, was, hey, is he doing this testing thing to bump up the numbers to keep the fear porn alive? You got to have those test numbers to confirm cases, right? You can't just guess. No, I don't think so. Really, I don't think so. I think the testing strategy is just to make it appear that he's doing something. And he thought it would be easy to just buy a half a billion whatever pills, he calls them. They're tests. And then he says pills again. The guy's not even all there. It's a dumb strategy.

And he can't even implement the dumb strategy. Proving governments terrible at strategizing. And even worse worse at implementing the bad strategies they try to strategize on. They can't do anything right. I want to remind you, by the way, here's Biden on the campaign trail before the election. It sounds here, seriously, I want you to listen. It's only about 20 plus seconds.

It sounds here like biden is criticizing himself this is him during the campaign against president trump and i want you to listen at every word of this and sounds exactly like he could be criticizing his own presidency right now considering there's more deaths now and he has failed even despite being handed a portfolio of options to fix this thing. Here, check this out. Just as states report record cases and hospitalizations and deaths continue to rise, this man simply doesn't understand. He can't deal with our economic crisis without serving and saving and solving the public health crisis. For all his bluster about his expertise on the economy, he's unable to explain how he'll actually help working families hit the hardest.

Holy Moses, that sound like he's talking about himself? For all his bluster, this man, he's talking about himself. The death count, hospitalizations, the economy suffering. Listen to that again. Rewind that. You all can check it out. Hit the 15-second back button. I want you to listen to that again.

That's Joe Biden talking about himself. Even the media is starting to pick up on this now. Like, my gosh, this guy's full of crap. Here, now I want to play this cut. This is from Donald Trump. We can stick this under hashtag, which we've used many times. Trump was right. Again, no punctuation and hashtags,

but Trump was right, comma, again. I told you the testing strategy was going to fail. It has. It's not stopping the government, which is their experts at stupidity, right? And repeating stupidity. They replicate stupidity often. They never create genius. Donald Trump told them a while ago that the testing strategy was a loser because you can

test negative one day and positive the next day and not alter your behavior one bit. Unlike again, other viruses, if you avoid getting bit by a mosquito or drinking contaminated water or a sexually transmitted activity from a disease from a sexually transmitted disease from a sexual activity, it's high risk. If you avoid those behaviors, you won't get sick. That's not the case with a respiratory virus that travels through the air. Trump nailed this a long time ago in a Q&A session with the media.

And again, they ignored him on how testing was going to fail. And it doesn't matter it's failed. Biden's trying to do it anyway. And he's failing at doing a failing strategy, which is a double fail. Here, check this out. I believe the press person, right, it's a press person. So she tested positive out of the blue.

This is why the whole concept of tests aren't necessarily great. The tests are perfect, but something could happen between a test where it's good and then something happens. And all of a sudden she was tested very recently and tested negative and then today i guess for some reason she tested positive he brings up a good point why is the left in love with a failed unquestionably failed testing strategy and that they can't even implement because trump said testing was not an effective strategy so of course the left's instinctive show your ass strategy, which the left is, which whenever Trump says something,

they have to show their asses, right? And they then have to do the opposite of what Trump says. Trump said, hey, testing's not really a strategy. Let's say, no, no, it's a strategy. It's a strategy. Hundreds of thousands or more dead. Biden can't even implement the pill strategy. He calls them pills, their tests, because he's losing his mind.

I mean, did he just not sum it up right there? Yeah, great. You test negative. Good. The next day you test positive. What's it that you're, it's not working. You know, for all the knocks on Donald Trump, it's almost uncanny how these major predictions he made if he were to lose election, inflation, you know, the economy is going to suffer, coronavirus predictions, testing predictions. We did a whole show on that, my Fox show, Unfiltered.

We did a whole show, a whole segment, I should say, about how he jokingly called it Trump Stradamus after no Stradamus, how he predicted all these things and they happen. And yet they treat him like he's an idiot. He's a common sense guy. He's like, wait, if you test negative today, you test positive five minutes later. How's that a strategy? Found that this morning. Another gem. Again, Trump was right again. Okay. You know what? Let me get to this political playbook thing next i'll get to my second spot then after that now now crime's a big deal folks major breaking news yesterday crime is now impacting the elites and when i say elite i mean non-elites but now

that it's impacting the elites all of a sudden crime's an issue when it was impacting you and me and poor folks in inner cities they were like a double barrel family friendly middle finger right playbook first political playbook again ryan liza it's a rare two-parter today they say we've heard from local physicians talking about washington dc shocked by the number of triple vax covid patients they've seen this week shocked joe shocked dc mayor muriel bowser who only recently lifted the city's indoor mask mandate reinstated it this week and added dc's first vaccine check mandate uh vaccine check mandate for many businesses here we go again yeah that'll do

it this time that'll definitely do it this time the mandates and masks that have never worked for two and a half years now no it's the seventh time we try it it'll definitely work now why are physicians in dc shocked that triple vaxxed patients are coming down with covid and winding up in the hospital the answer is because they don't read conservative media. That sounded the alarm on the efficacy of the vaccine a long time ago. If you would have read conservative media, you wouldn't be shocked. And by the way, a big thanks to the communists at big tech for preventing a fair and open conversation about the efficacy of the vaccine. I want you to know, and I want them to never forget that they did this.

They did this. And I want them to never forget that they did this. They did this. The reason the medical community is shocked by the efficacy of the vaccine declining is because big tech censored free speech and an honest conversation. That's why they're to blame for this. You want to look at someone? You want to pinpoint someone that big tech did it with their liberal masters and the communists they answer to all right uh also some breaking news yesterday on supreme court we'll get to that in a second today show brought to you by omax living with chronic

So again, if big tech had allowed an honest conversation, because they can't because they're commies, then we wouldn't be in this position we are now. The good news is the Supreme Court is going to hear this on January 7th. You'll see in this Washington Examiner piece. If you want to read the whole thing, it'll be in the show notes. Kaelin D., Supreme Court to hear arguments on Biden's vaccine or test mandate. So January 7th, we'll see how they rule. I have very little faith in the show notes caitlin d supreme court to hear arguments on biden's vaccine or test mandate so january 7th we'll see how they rule i have very little faith in the supreme court these days i have a lot of faith in clarence thomas and alito they've been fantastic and gorsuch's been

pretty good um cavanaugh and um and coney barrett ladies and gentlemen are uh totally unpredictable forget roberts roberts the liberal robert don't. We don't have a 6-3 majority. It's a 5-4. Roberts is a full-blown liberal now. But the Supreme Court is going to be determining the constitutionality of two mandates from Biden. Remember, there wasn't just one. The first one is going to be the mandate

that any employer with 100 employees or more, that vaccine mandate, we'll see where that goes. And the second one is the healthcare mandate. We'll see what if you're in the health care space the vaccine mandate for that too so it'll actually be two so we'll see where the supreme court goes with that in january 7th just a couple weeks away let's hope they do the constitutional thing and do their jobs and don't pander to the editorial column of the washington post the op-ed column that's embarrassing roberts does that all the time it is it's It's just straight up embarrassing. Folks, crime is now impacting the elite. So now all of a sudden, now it's a problem. On this show, we've only been mourning about the disintegration

of broken windows policing, how that was going to lead to an explosion in crime for a very long time. Broken windows policing is very simply the idea that if you take care of the small crimes, if you arrest people for the little things like turnstile jumping on a subway, leaping over, not paying, digging on the subway, that the guy who jumps the turnstiles, the guy who goes on the train and robs someone, that wasn't always the view of police. I can't say this enough. In New York City, the idea was, ah, you don't arrest the turnstile jumper and then the cop comes off the street, processing the guy in the precinct.

You're not there to intercept the guy who's going to rape or rob someone on the train. It was the same guy. That was a major, major revelation. It was a revolution, too, in policing. No, go out and arrest the guy who jumped the turnstile. He's the guy who's going to burglarize a house or rob someone on the train. Folks, I'm telling you, having lived through broken windows policing as an NYPD officer myself, as it was happening, I'm not sure you understand the revolution this was.

Cops were always told, oh, leave the guy alone, smoking a joint in the street or doing crack in the street. It's no big deal. Unless he mugs someone, it's no big deal. Then all of a sudden, the next day, they were like, hey, that kid's smoking a joint or that guy's smoking crack, that guy peeing in the corner, you better arrest him. Whether you agree with it or not, that was the shift. It was seismic.

It wasn't just a little thing. Well, now that crime is becoming a problem because the elites are getting carjacked, mugged homes burglarized all of a sudden they're saying oh the Democrats are like hey that thief on the police thing was kind of stupid

we're going to turn this thing around no you won't you won't turn it around overnight why? because you screwed up huge there was an excellent article in the journal a few days ago forgive me I don't have the citation here because I missed it. I'm not sure if it was by Jason Reilly.

But it was an article saying exactly that, that for New York City residents and other places where they elected people like Eric Adams, Democrats who are pretending to be reformers. I say pretending because I'm not sure yet. Let's see if they're pretenders or not. They want to be reformers on policing. They're Democrats.

We'll see what they do. But there's going to be no turnaround overnight. Let me just mention three things specifically that are going to take a long time to turn around in New York City and elsewhere. The bail reform. Folks, you let out a bunch of criminals on the street with almost no bail. They're out there now preying on people. It's hard to go find them again. They don't want to be found.

Second, there's been a culture change with police. The left has gone from, you know, we don't like the police to we hate the police to the police are the problem

and defund them and fire them all. It's going to take 10 years to turn around the culture where police are respected again. It's sad and fire them all. It's going to take 10 years to turn around the culture where police are respected again. It's sad and it's tragic, but it really does matter. And finally, why this isn't going to turn around overnight. Folks, with the collapse of broken windows policing

and not arresting people for the small stuff, again, the bad guys aren't in jail. You have to understand there's a very small percentage of the population that commits the overwhelming number of crimes. Overwhelming. Those people are all out on the street again now. They're not just going to go turn themselves in. If you would have had broken windows policing and re-implemented it,

you would have had some of these people because they would have done something dumb like jump the turnstile. But because you don't have that, they're not in jail, they're out on the street. I highlighted this very issue by my show Unfiltered. I don't like playing clips of myself, but this was interesting because it had another clip embedded in it, how this explosion in street crime, homicides, property theft, mass burglaries of stores and robberies of stores. I highlighted how liberal DAs on my show were playing all this down. I want to play this video clip from my show Unfiltered. You're going to hear George Gascon

first from LA, a disastrous district attorney, Soros guy. You're going to hear Gavin Newsom, asterisk district attorney, Soros guy. You're going to hear Gavin Newsom, governor of California, and Krasner, the DA in Philly, another Soros guy, all playing down crime. Oh, it's no big deal. Don't worry, folks. This crime's happening.

It's not a big deal. No, no, really. And then you hear some commentary from me after. Check this out. To what extent do you and your policies bear any responsibility for that? Well, actually none. And actually, most crime is down, but for homicides. This is not unique. Violent crime and property crime, for example, is higher in Texas than is in California.

I don't see that. I think it's important that we don't let this become mushy and bleed into the notion that there's some kind of a big spike in crime. There isn't. Listen, I'm a conservative, OK? It's not a secret. But I mean it when I say it. This isn't any kind of time for cheap partisanship here.

These are people's lives. People are dying. They're being assaulted. They're being robbed. They're being killed. They're their livelihoods. Their families are being ripped apart. If an elected Democrat wants to take a stand, a bold stand for public safety and the rights of citizens to live in peace in their communities, I'll have you right here on the show. a hit job piece. If Eric Adams, the incoming Democrat mayor of New York City, is serious

about being tough on crime, I'd love to have him on my show and discuss broken windows, policing, bail reform, the return of street crime and anti-crime, plainclothes units. The invite's out there, folks. We sent it out there. We haven't heard back yay or nay, but the invite's out there, so you don't think I'm speaking with forked tongue. This stuff has to stop. It's not a partisan issue. I have family in New York. I don't want them dying so we can, you know, oh, look, Democrats, Democrats really suck.

You know, mom's dead. No, no, that's like sicko stuff. Now, all of a sudden, the conversation on crime is turning. Why? Because of stories like this. From yesterday, Kansas City star, a gunfire erupts during a carjacking of an Illinois state senator's Mercedes SUV, cops say. Illinois state senator. Tragically, it's carjacked.

Folks, this isn't like funny. This isn't shouting fraud stuff. This is real. Could have been dead. But now all of a sudden, because it's a state senator, it's a big issue. What about all the other people who are carjacked? What about the other people who are killed? They don't have a say anymore in anything.

They're dead. Oh, you think that's it? Two lawmakers on the Democrat side yesterday. Here's the blaze. Carlos Garcia, Democrat congresswoman who voted to defund the police, gets carjacked and robbed at gunpoint in broad daylight not funny nothing funny about this don't wish ill on anyone because of their political stupidity but my gosh now you had to wait for that to happen to them before all of a sudden we realize it's a

problem why because the poor folks in your congressional district who can't afford lobbyists if they get mugged robbed burglarized raped murdered or killed that doesn't really matter now it'll be a big deal showing you the hypocrisy of the left we're in it for the little guy yeah yeah you're in it for the little guy please spare me yeah, you're in it for the little guy. Please spare me the nonsense. Finally, a message to the left for you. I want you to read this Washington Examiner article. It'll be in my newsletters from this morning. Escape from Democratic governance. So the Census Bureau released their data this week. And unsurprisingly to anyone listening to this show right now, 20 states lost population. You know who led the way? States controlled by Democrats where there's a mass exodus. The three biggest losers, California lost 367,000 people, New York 352,000, and Illinois

122,000, three of the biggest Democrat states controlled completely by the Democrat party. My message to the Democrats and those people leaving, not the conservatives, liberty lovers, and patriots. I'm serious. I'm not kidding. Please don't come here to Florida. Florida has been the biggest net gainer of people along with Texas. I'm asking you a favor. I know you hate my guts. We don't like each other. We have political disagreements. I get it. I read your death threats every day. I'm asking you for a favor. It's a free country. I can't tell you what to do, but please, please don't come here. Please don't come to Florida. Please don't bring your nonsense here. I have family here. We have business here. We have

employees here. We have public safety here. We have a good thing down here. We don't want your coronavirus chaos. We have a relatively controlled coronavirus situation down here. We've got a great governor. Business is exploding. People are enjoying their lives again down here in Florida. Unemployment's low. The state budget's under control. We have a great sheriff here in Martin County.

We have a great statewide Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Please, I'm begging you as a non-friend, please don't come down here. You don't want to be around us. We don't want to be around you. Whatever you're doing to destroy and decimate your blue states, please do not bring your nonsense here. Please. I can't stop you.

It's a free country, obviously. But please don't come here. We, I'm telling you, I know for a fact I can speak for conservative and Republican Florida that's turned this state into a gem. Please don't come here. You are not wanted. Stay where you are. You ruined what you had, and now you want to come down here and ruin what we have.

Just leave us alone. I'm not kidding. Don't dare bring that nonsense down here. We what we have. Just leave us alone. I'm not kidding. Don't dare bring that nonsense down here. We're not interested. All right. Sorry. I just, I feel bad for Joe.

He's stuck in Maryland. I really do. I feel terrible being stuck up there. Cause I, you know, I don't bring your nonsense here, please. Marylanders moved over to Virginia and some of them, for being stuck up there. Because I don't bring your nonsense here. Please. Marylanders moved over to Virginia

and some of them, the Democrat ones, not the Republican ones, destroyed that state too. Whether in the game or in life, the right coverage can make all the difference.

what they call the listicles, these lists. Best of, worst of, but you know, it is the end of the year. So I want to have a little bit of fun with it. So I thought it'd probably be a good time to play some of my favorite video clips of all time for conservatives. These are clips that if you would play them for your liberal friends,

they'll have a tough time refuting. Conveniently, they're Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedman. I'll play three of them. They're about a minute plus. But this first one, this is one of my favorites. We played it on the show in the past. This is the legend, Thomas Sowell, economist and philosopher. Philosopher, I would say.

He's an economist by trade. But this is the great Thomas Sowell. He's debating a liberal, a woman by the name, and you'll hear her first. Her name is Helen O'Banion. It's from decades ago. She was a leftist and she was the Pennsylvania labor. She was involved with their Department of Labor. And Helen O'Banion is trying to defend welfare for single mothers, how it's some effective system. It's not. It's not an effective system. It's failed repeatedly over and over.

So you'll hear her first, and then you'll hear Thomas Sowell. And he makes three points about here in return to her. Excuse me, when he rebuts what she's saying. He makes a point about the inefficiency of welfare, about poverty, and about starting the story in the middle. This is a great, great cut. Totally evergreen. Cut off welfare tomorrow. What will they do? What will be their immediate response? At what price to their small children and to their middle-aged children? Yes, they'll get a job. In fact, the statistics show that women, in fact, are the most successful through the employment program. But what has to supplement that typically is the provision of some kind of daycare arrangement.

Either the individual woman has to earn enough money to be able to pay privately for her daycare, or in fact she is, quote, subsidized through this insidious, corrupting program, set of programs run by the federal government, which in fact makes her employable and a taxpayer. It's a it's an interesting notion of trying to get people in a productive mode. Tom Solman. It's incredible the way you start the story in the middle as if there's a predestined amount of poverty, a predestined amount of unemployment and that the welfare system is not itself in any way responsible for that. There is a predestined 20% of the bottom half of the population. I have never, well, that's always been true.

There's going to be 20% at the bottom. It's also true that 20% of the bottom population doesn't have to be living on the government and ruled by the government. Folks, leftists do this all the time. That's why it's one of my favorite clips. They start the story in the middle middle they create a problem in government dependency via programs like welfare and the social safety net which should be limited to people who really need it right they create the problem of dependency and then when dependency metastasizes into generations of people who live on the government then they say well what are we going to do if we stop the program all these people living on the government yeah they're living in the government

because you started the story in the middle they're living on the government because of you that's why they did it and he also mentions how the lady just abuses statistics well there's always going to be a bottom 20 of course if you had five millionaires and the guy at the bottom is making a million and one dollar and the guy at the top is making a million and ten dollars yes the guy at the bottom making a million one dollars is the bottom 20 percent does that mean he's poor that's just a statistical fact she says it like it's an argument well there's gonna be a bottom 20 percent of poor people yeah but they don't have to be poor one of my favorite cuts ever don't let them start the story in the middle here's the second one thomas soul one of my favorites i've that's one i haven't used before but i thoroughly enjoy this one this is him debating another woman about the pay gap. And they're debating the pay gap, the alleged pay gap between men and women.

And notice, the left does this all the time, as the woman does in the opening of the clip here. She tries to say women get paid less than men. But notice, when Thomas Sowell brings up the point that when you compare a woman of the same qualifications to a man with similar circumstances, the pay gap totally disappears. And that comparing what you call single women to men is not an accurate comparison because Thomas Sowell says, well, what kind of single women are you talking about? You're talking about women who've never been in the workforce? Or are you talking about women who say were married 30, 40 years and then get a divorce and then reenter the workforce? Because that's not the same as a guy who's been working 30 years.

And the point of this clip is not just to show you how the left abuses statistics, but to show you the effect of confounding variables. I said yesterday, if you don't isolate what you're talking about in an experimental effect and you just say something like men versus women, you can fish out whatever statistic you want. Watch this. This is a beautiful takedown. Check this out. You would also have to agree that, generally speaking, women are paid less, for example, for the same jobs as men. No, I would not.

I would not agree with that. If you're talking about women with the same number of years of experience, with the same continuous service, et cetera, et cetera, then when I look at that, I don't find that disparity. I find, for example, in many cases, the women are making more, depending on how you break the data down. The difference with women is between unmarried, is between married women and everybody else. That's the real difference. Well, even as the single women, the Census Bureau statistics, the most recent ones I could find, 1978, say that single men are earning $11,100 and single women are earning $9,300. Yes, I love the word single that is used.

When I did my study, I didn't use single. I used never married. You see, a woman who is single at age 40, having spent 10 or 20 years raising children, is really not quite the same as a man of age 40 who's been working continuously for 20 years. You see the point he's trying to make there? When you compare a single woman who's been working the entire time and the same amount of time with a man of equal qualifications and the same time in the workforce, the woman makes as much if not more. You see how when you eliminate the confounds, the pay gap goes away, but that's the left. They're not interested in science, statistics, or data. They're interested in talking points. Beautiful segment. I've watched that tons of times just because it just so

nails down what they do all the time. Here's the last one for you. My favorite conservative video clips of the year and of all time. Here's Milton Friedman. You've seen this before debating Phil Donahue, a leftist on the Donahue show back, I believe, in the 80s, maybe late 70s. I'm not really sure. Friedman debating Donahue on greed. It's just interesting how leftists like Donahue point to capitalism as an example of greed and yet eliminate the tautological statement that

human beings are greedy by nature. So the best way to control greed is a free market, not to concentrate the power of greed in the hands of a few government greedy officials. Check this out. When you see around the globe, the maldistribution of wealth, the desperate plight of millions of people in underdeveloped countries, the desperate plight of millions of people in underdeveloped countries, when you see so few haves and so many have-nots, when you see the greed and the concentration of power within, did you ever have a moment of doubt about capitalism? And whether greed's a good idea to run on?

Well, first of all, tell me, is there some society you know that doesn't run on greed? You think Russia doesn't run on greed? you know that doesn't run on greed? You think Russia doesn't run on greed? You think China doesn't run on greed? What is greed? Of course, none of us are greedy. It's only the other fellow who's greedy. The world runs on individuals pursuing their separate interests.

The great achievements of civilization have not come from government bureaus. Einstein didn't construct his theory under order from a bureaucrat. Henry Ford didn't revolutionize the automobile industry that way. In the only cases in which the masses have escaped from the kind of grinding poverty you're talking about, the only cases in recorded history where they have had capitalism and largely free trade. If you want to know where the masses are worse off, it's exactly from the kinds of societies that depart from that. Amen, Milton Friedman. The best way to control the natural greed of the human being

is to distribute power. Over 330 million people in the United States who have free market power to influence prices every day with their buying decisions. The worst way to handle greed is to maximize its power by concentrating it in the hands of government bureaucrats who run the economy for themselves. Friedman influenced so many. God rest his soul. He's since passed Those are some of my favorite conservative clips I'm glad to play them for you

Let me get to my last sponsor I'm hesitant to do this But I have some predictions for 2022 I swore I'd stay out of the predictions game But everybody's We'll see how it works out We'll see if I'm right I got four of them

And then questions for Dan We got some good ones Mama, look at me Vroom, vroom I'm going really fast. I just got my license. Can I borrow the car, please, Mom? Kids go from 0 to 18 in no time.

BDC. Financing. Advising. Know how. Accelerating the pace. We're on it. BDC. Financing. Advising. Know how. Okay. We'll see. Guy, you need to do me a favor. It's the 23rd. So can you hold on to this show for next year?

December 23rd, next year. We'll go over and see how my predictions worked out. Joe, remember, okay? I'm leaving it to both of you guys. We'll see. Listen, the predictions game, I don't know, but we'll make a few just quickly. On the economy, Dan Bongino predictions. We'll see a year from now.

Inflation will be annualized next year in 2022 between 7% and 8%, which is going to be really, really troubling. It's going to cause the Fed to act a little more quickly than they wanted to in their taper, which is going to cause the economy to slow down next year. We'll see. We'll see if I'm right. I don't see inflation slowing down. They thought the purchase of durable goods was going to knock inflation down once people got them because they're durable, enough to buy them again. I don't think so. We'll see. On the healthcare front, more variants will obviously develop, but I'm predicting the severity of these

variants is going to grow less and less, even as they grow more infectious. And we'll be dealing next year, hopefully, with a virus that resembles more a mild flu season than does the Delta variant. mild flu season than does the Delta variant. Again, we'll see. On the culture front, I predict we're going to see more Dave Chappelle's. I addressed this on my Fox show this weekend. We will have a show on Christmas. It's pretty good. We have Governor Ron DeSantis on my Fox show Saturday night at 10 in an exclusive interview. Well, it's going to see more Dave Chappelle's fighting back against cancel culture. People are going to start to realize what Dave Chappelle did, that although there's going to be friction with the cancel culture brigade that you can't be canceled if you refuse to be canceled dave chapelle didn't

apologize and i think you're going to see more of that as people figure out that the 51 percent overrule the 49 percent the 49 percent of the minority they They're the cancelers. And finally, in politics, in the midterms, these predictions, they're always the worst. Let's say the GOP in the midterms, I think they're going to take 30 seats in the House. 30 seats, that's a lot. 30 seats in the House, especially given that there's only a slim majority now

for the Democrats. And I predict the GOP will take back the Senate. We'll see. Mark joe market 40 something minute mark 45 we'll see how my predictions work out okay you think so i don't know i got like a 60 success rate listen but you don't know prediction anything could happen you know black hole could swallow the universe next year and then you wouldn't have to worry about inflation there'd be no universe left to inflate okay questions for dan hey dan do you think if the red wave happens next november will there be a biden impeachment the following january or so devlin 1956 um no i don't i don't i i i really don't i, I just don't think the Republicans

have the guts to do it, sorry. That's a simple answer. Let me move on. I just don't. Hey, Dan, how does your family celebrate the holidays? Special foods or customs? That's by DebjoyDT. Yeah, we do.

Christmas, we always do a gift on Christmas Eve for my two daughters. We go to the mass at night. We don't go on Christmas morning. We go to the mass at night. We don't go on Christmas morning. We go the night before to mass. We have, well, of course we have dinner. I mean, we have dinner every night, but we have a Christmas dinner. And on New Year's, Paula brings her Colombian traditions to the household. We eat 12 grapes on New Year's Eve after, well, New Year's Day after the ball drops. And you make a wish for every one of those 12 grapes.

That's Paul and have a little champagne. So Paul and I've been doing that with the kids for a while. So yes, we do have some traditions. Here's a good one. Hey, Dan, listen to the show every day. Do you ever think of doing the Joe Rogan podcast? I know he has different political views, but I think it would help spread your name

and conservative ideas. Thanks for all you do. Well, thank you. Who is that key? I can't see at the bottom. I think of a shout out. That's at. Okay.

Sorry. I missed that one. Whoever it is. Thank you. You know, your question there. We cut that off. Yeah.

But the thing about Joe Rogan's podcast is it's the most popular podcast in the cosmos. So you don't do Joe Rogan's podcast until Joe Rogan says you do Joe Rogan's podcast. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's not the kind of thing where I can really, I mean, we have a, we have a popular show. Don't get me wrong. Um, you know, we're the second most popular conservative podcast in the country

behind Shapiro, but still Joe Rogan dwarfs our numbers. So yeah, if we get an invite on Joe Rogan's podcast, I absolutely, I'd actually like to talk to him more about grappling and working out than I would about politics, but whatever. Yes, I would do it. A hundred percent. Hey, Dan, did I ever get this question before? What's your everyday carry gun? Would love your opinion. A G Delp seven nine. I have a SIG. I have a lot of guns. I used to carry a glock 43 i i liked it but i went with the sig 365 and which i really really like with the extended mag that is my carry gun and the reason i like it is obviously magazine capacity which glock has since bumped up but second in the secret service we had the sig 229 they've since i think changed that they've gone to Glocks now. I love Sig.

I just like Sig handguns. I like the way they feel. I like the way they shoot. They're very ergonomically correct. I like the Sig 365. It's a really great gun. And for rifles, I mean, listen, they're a sponsor, but I'm not telling you

just because they're a sponsor. I love my BCM. And I also like just, I like messing around with my 44 carbine from Henry too. But again, they're sponsored, but I'm telling you, I'm not saying that because they're sponsors. It's actually the reverse. I have them as sponsors because I love their guns, not the other way around. Okay. Hey, Dan, do you believe there's a more sinister element to the testing strategy given the simple stupidity you mentioned in your podcast?

This is exactly what I'm saying. This is by Dan R5160. Yeah, I kind of mentioned this before. I don't. No, I really don't. He's basically implying here, like, is Biden going to send out all these tests so the positive numbers go up so they can continue the fear porn campaign? No, I don't think so. Because Biden's campaign now, excuse me, White House operatives inside the White House are starting to tell him to ease down on the fear porn campaign because it's crushing the economy.

So, no, I just think they want to look like they're doing something and testing they thought would be an easy way to do it. Just buy tests. Proving you again, the government can't even do that right. They can't even buy the tests or the pills, as Joe Biden called it. All right. This is by the Guido fuzz. Is that real? What are some of the most fondest Christmas memories growing up? You have this, the Bongino family open up gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas day. This Lucy have a stocking.

Thanks Dan. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. You too. Yes. Lucy does have a stocking. I mentioned some of our traditions before my fond fondest Christmas memories were going out to my dad's house. My parents were divorced, so we had kind of two Christmases. And he lived in Selden, Long Island on King Avenue, right down the block from Newfield High School. I'm sure we have some listeners over there. And my dad, he told me, he just had this conversation with him recently with my father.

He used to keep the presents not under the tree, but upstairs. So he'd bring them down one by one. And I said, dad, why'd you do that? He's like, because Dan, I thought about it. If you guys just ran under the tree and ripped open the presents, it'd be over in five minutes. He's like, I wanted to make sure I extended it. So he would bring them one by one. He bought us a lot of stuff.

So it was a lot of fun. It would go on for like an hour. I'd get my GI Joe stuff, my He-Man stuff, my toy guns. I had a lot of toy guns. I had the Jaguarmatic. Remember the Jaguarmatic cap gun? That was like the Cadillac, the cap gun. So that was, I just remember my dad walking down and saying,

who's next? That was awesome. We had such a good time. Guy wants to know if me and my brother fought over toys. Never. And I'll tell you why i have two brothers and uh and a stepsister but just call my sister my brother's a year younger than me my brother jim but he was a fanatic about sports i liked comic books he man gi joe and guns my

brother jim couldn't have gave a damn about any of that stuff all he wanted was baseball cards bats gloves footballs he didn't care about so no we never fought over toys at all ever good quick geez this ain't questions for gee geez yeah Joe he's just you know what we should do a gee and Joe question I mean he's just adding a segment here all right this is for wait did I miss that last one wait a reindeer fan for life okay hey dan this is the next one hey dan while it appears we'll most likely take the house next year what are your top three senate seats to watch good question my top seat to watch nevada it nevada you gotta watch nevada uh cortez masto i think is going to lose to adam laxalt which would be be an enormous upset. Laxalt's a Republican, a good guy. I support him.

I think he's fantastic. That is my top seat to watch. If we can take that seat back, it would be just a sonic boom to the political establishment. The second seat to watch, I think Mark Kelly in Arizona is in real, real trouble, the Democrat. I don't know who's going to win the primary there, Brnovich or Masters. There's a guy, I think, McGuire running as well. But I think Mark Kelly is in real, real trouble in Arizona. And I'd say third, here's a long, long shot.

I'll throw in another one. I'll throw three, three, and 3.5. Michael Bennett in Colorado. There's something like eight or nine challengers on the republican side facing uh democrat michael bennett it's a long shot i mean the last senate election i think uh was decided before the democrat by nine points but i think michael bennett in a real wave michael bennett could be in trouble too. I mean, that would be another political earthquake. That's kind of a long shot. I'll throw one more in there too, close to Joe's home there. Larry

Hogan, who is a Republican governor in a deep, deep blue state, a two-term Republican governor in Maryland. By the way, we're not friends at all. I'm no fan of Larry Hogan. He's a big rhino. But there's no disputing the obvious. Larry Hogan's very popular in maryland he just is he's not with the trump crowd not with me either but he's popular he won two terms in a state where that was thought to be impossible to ever win the governorship at all right he's considering running for the senate seat against chris van holland listen i'd take hogan over van holland i'm no fan of hogan but van holland's the worst even if we get 50 out of hogan we'll get zero percent out of van holland if larry hogan enters the senate race

in maryland i mean you want to talk about like a upset for the ages if that happens that throws the whole senate that throws the whole set i, we could be up 55, 45. So we'll see. He hasn't decided yet what he's going to do. Okay. Hey, Dan, I understand. I can only imagine why you left the Secret Service when you did. But I always wonder if you regret not being an agent when President Trump was in office. CTG 143.

Yeah, I do sometimes. The Secret Service is really, really, really hard work. It is. The shift changes, the constant not sleeping. You get ill a lot overseas traveling. I mean, I can't even tell you how many GI disorders I got from drinking water overseas. I used to get it out of the way. I drank the water right when I got to the hotel, just to get it out of the way. The lack of sleep was the worst part. I mean, you really don't sleep a lot in the Secret Service. Your sleep cycle's totally screwed up. Think about it.

You'll travel around the world through different time zones. You'll come back for a week. This is when they really start traveling overseas a lot. You'll come back for a week. You'll be on like the midnight shift at the White House. Then you'll travel to another time zone just as you're getting back to the time zone you thought you were. It's the most, you can never sleep. So it was hard work. But yeah, I do wonder what

it would have been like to work. I probably would have been a supervisor by then. I was on that promotional track. Yeah, I do wonder about that a lot, but do I regret it? No. I mean, I feel like I'm making a bigger difference here and this was God's path for me. You know, sometimes you ask God for an answer and the answer is no. I ran for office, said, God, please guide me. Should I do this? God said, no, you shouldn't. And then I wound up here, which is good. He had a different path for me. Sometimes you ask God for answers and sometimes the answer is no, because he's got something different in store for you. Hey, Dan, my husband wants to know where you get all your t-shirts. We'll make this the last one. thinks uh they're pretty cool and loves the patriotic look to them do you buy them from a certain store do you order them online kt

2022 my t-shirt with the american flag that's from bcm bravo company manufacturing the rifle company yes they are a sponsor um but this the shirts i wear proudly is for a charity folds of honor you know how important education is to me it's a life changer folds of honor provides scholarships to the families of fallen soldiers injured soldiers it's run by dan rooney a friend he'll be on my radio show later today it is on charity navigator it's one of the most efficient charities out there if you go to foh.org, short for Folds of Honor, foh.org slash Dan, foh.org slash Dan, you can make a charitable donation there. I can't recommend the charity enough. I'll be making a donation on Christmas on Fox, which I do every year to try to incentivize

people. But folks, education's a game changer. And I can't think of more qualified people than families of our fallen soldiers, law enforcement individuals who are hurt in the line of duty, some killed, than to take care of their kids, get them into school and give them a shot of prosperity. So that's where I get these shirts. And we're working on now a shirt for, maybe I shouldn't say,

for the show. So we'll see. Special Falls of Honor shirt. It's a wonderful, wonderful charity. Thanks again for a great year, folks. I want to say,

actually, I'll let Joe and Guy say it themselves. Gee, any words for the audience? He says, he's got nothing but love for you. And he's so glad to be, he gave me a nice card this morning and look, he gave me a a hundred dollar gift card. I'm like, dude, you don't have to do that. It was very nice. You know, very easy. Good, good guy, Joe, for the audience, any words for him? Just want to thank everybody for hanging with us through the year, through the troubles, through the good guy. Joe, for the audience, any words for him? Just want to thank everybody for hanging with us through the year, through the troubles, through the good times. Great, great audience. Everybody here loves to do this show.

We love to do this show, and I want you to know that from the bottom of my heart. God bless you. Have a wonderful Christmas and a great new year. Joe means every word of that. He speaks for all of us. And I want to thank you as well for the emails about Joe's family. You all know what I mean. You all throughout the year were very caring and a big, enormous thank you. You all, I don't want to get choked up. I'm such a goofball, but really you all, you've given me everything. I mean, you've given

me the opportunity through your loyalty to the show to go out and make a stand and to go out and to have, you know, to be able to do things because I want to, not because I have to. And it gives me the ability every single day, you know, to stand up and, um, and fight for what I believe in is right. You all are terrific. And we will definitely see you back here in the new year. We will have some best ofs for you next week on the channel here on the rumble channel. And wherever you get the podcast, he and Joe are putting them together. And thank you all so much.

Merry Christmas. Happy new year. We'll see you next year. Good day, sir. You just heard Dan Bongino.
