get ready to hear the truth about america on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host
dan bongino you ever see that movie aliens stop your grinning and drop your linen well drop your
linen uh i've got a really kick-ass show for you today i'm gonna there's one there was a
you know i would bombshell story.
I don't know how to describe it.
Let's forget the hyperbole.
The story's just amazing.
It's by Seymour Hersh
on his sub stack
and it's about
who exactly blew up
that Russian pipeline?
Because it's kind of a big deal
who blew it up.
Because of the whole, like,
potential for, like,
nuclear war and stuff.
And then there was another story
about biolabs in Ukraine.
How are they tied together?

All right, Joseph, let's go, Daniel.
It is now post time. Yes, I am. Yes, it is. Joe said to me, these are some Do it today. All right, Joseph, let's go. It is now post time.
Yes, I am. Yes, it is.
Joe said to me, these are some good cuts. Yes, they are.
Yeah. So, yes, this is going to
tie into yesterday's show.
Government lies to us. That's not the
bombshell breaking news. Government lies. Of course,
government lies to us. Really? That's not
the story. The story we ended with
yesterday after we covered the State of the Union.
It's not that government lies to us. it's that they become so comfortable doing it that when you guys agree
like it's almost a shocker now when the government says anything that's true whether i think he's
like uh yeah whether it's covid vaccines masks domestic terrorist parents uh Spygate. Russia hoax. Nikki Haley's drapes.
Don't laugh.
Look it up.
Hillary Clinton's emails.
Russian pipelines.
Biolabs in Ukraine.
Zelensky.
Ukraine war.
The impeachment.
You start to wonder, like, when does the government, media, big tech symbiote ever tell you the truth?
It's like second nature.
Yes.
Yes. Yes. It is. the truth it's like second nature yes yes yes it is it's no it's
first nature it's not even second nature it's it's first nature they these mother never tell
you the truth ever now i have this theory i've been pitching for a long time you guys can vouch
for me on this that whatever the fact checkers who have become
a representative for all these people, government, big tech, the fact checkers are used to silence
anyone who tells you the truth. Whenever they tell you a major story is false, you sadly,
I do mean sadly, I'd like to hear the truth from actual fact checkers, right?
You're almost guaranteed the story is true. I'm going to show you what I mean today with this
bombshell story. But first, governments now, again, as I said, openly, comfortably lying to you using search,
Google, search engines, social media, and fact checkers to hide their just endemic now corruption.
You have been bought and sold. China owns us. You have been entirely sold out.
They lied to us about the balloon and all of that other stuff I told you
before. So Biden, this is really fascinating. He gives an interesting interview yesterday,
and he's asked about this China balloon situation where he let this spy balloon traverse the entire
country and our military facilities and did absolutely nothing about it. They never told
anyone. And then they hit the thing with an F-22 Sidewinder missile
when it was out over South Carolina after it had already gotten all the information.
So he's asked about it. And he said, folks, there's nothing better than when Biden gives
up the whole story and slips. And he's too stupid to realize he even slipped.
Take a listen to what he said about this. The idea that there was a dereliction of duty, I think, is a bizarre notion.
China knows exactly what the deal is with us.
This is what Joe was talking about.
Joe was like, dude, you got some interesting clips.
He just gave up the whole game.
What did I tell you yesterday on my show on my Fox show Saturday night?
That the China balloon story is only a story because it's not a story.
They've been doing it forever.
And Biden just slipped.
Hey, you didn't shoot this thing down sooner.
You know, is that bad judgment on your part?
They ask him.
No, no, no.
Don't worry.
China knows.
Yeah, China knows.
China knows they've been spying on us.
We know China knows.
And China knows we know and we'll do nothing about it.
That's the story.
Here, here's another one right here.
Daily Caller.
In the news, do not miss the newsletter today.
Bongino.com slash newsletter will be important later.
Here's how much U.S. farmland has been bought up by China.
Oh, they note in the piece that they bought up the farmland near land used for military facilities.
That's fascinating. Oh, yeah.
That's fascinating.
Sure, nobody knew about that.
Joe, it's not like real estate deals that create a paperwork trail, right?
I mean, you bought your house on like a grocery store receipt, right?
Someone just signed it.
Thanks, Joe.
Yeah, that's how it went down.
It's no paper trail.
It's not that anybody knew about this.
But Joe Biden just told us,
gosh, I don't want to be right
all the time.
You are months ahead
of the news cycle here.
China knows, Joe Biden said.
Of course they know.
They've been doing it forever.
Then I said to you yesterday
that the UFO leak
from the Pentagon,
when it first came out,
Joe, me,
I'm not saying alien life does not exist.
I don't know that. I'm incapable if you haven't traveled the entire universe.
I'm simply suggesting you the government's version of alien life and UFOs is a lie and is a head fake.
The UFO story, as we showed yesterday in that Holman Jenkins piece, was clearly an effort to get you off the China's spying on Australia with drones they've been using around military facilities. And look at this shocker.
Story comes out yesterday, Daily Caller. Past Chinese spy balloons were classified as UFOs,
officials say. Oh, oh my God. Oh, Elizabeth, I'm coming. Get me the nitroglycerin pill.
Gosh, I'm stunned. Danger, Will Robinson, danger.
be the nitroglycerin pill gosh i'm stunned danger will robinson danger again kind of sounds like something we told you right so now that we've established firmly that the government will
lie to you about everything the latest incidents of lying is the ufo balloon surveillance story
and we also establish that biden's too stupid to cover up anything as i'll show you again in a few
minutes because he just admits it when he talks. Yeah, China knows. Yeah, of course China knows. They've
been doing this forever and they know we know. They know we know. They know we know. And they
know we'll do nothing about it. I want to dig in now. It's going to get heavy. Grab your britches,
folks. This is going to be a good one. I'm going to use these two stories to demonstrate how the
symbiote works. Now, what I call the symbiote, if you're a regular listener to the show,
you probably know already, but I'll explain again for new folks who are here. Symbiote is like,
have you ever read comic books, that Eddie Brock Venom character in the Spider-Man series?
It's this alien life form that takes over this human being's body and they work together
symbiotically to fight crime and then fight themselves.
And it's like an antihero, right?
Well, the government does this too.
It has a symbiote too.
They work together to increase each other's power.
It has a couple of symbiotes, Google and search engines, social media companies, fact checkers,
and deep state bureaucrats.
It's a symbiote.
It's one big functioning organism that exists solely to protect the fact
that people like Biden covering up for China's spying
are completely sold out to China
through his son, Hunter Biden already.
Now, why would the deep state symbiote cover that up?
Because they're all in bed with China
and they don't want their grift to be given up either.
It's no more complicated than that.
China pays them off somehow.
Business access, money in some cases, diamonds, art sales.
They don't want to give up the money.
So they cover all this up.
They cover up everything.
And the symbiote works together to make stories
that make the regime look bad go away.
There was an absolute bombshell yesterday by Seymour Hersh, which I'm going to get to in a second at
Substack, about who blew up the Nord Stream 2 pipeline and what happened and how they attacked
the truth tellers. And that story is a perfect example of how the symbiote works. Let me just
address this again. This is from yesterday, holman jenkins story this is the
third screenshot from yesterday where he addresses the second part of his story about how the
government apparently can't find truth anymore and has become so adept at using false information
to solve problems in other words the government has a problem they have to hide that we've been
sold out to china okay so rather than tell people the truth,
the Hunter Biden laptops have really been sold out to China,
what they do is they use lies.
And he goes into a number of examples here, Holman Jenkins.
I suggest you read the piece, the Steele dossier.
He mentions the UFO thing too.
This is what the government does.
As Joe said, it's just second nature to them.
They just lie all the time now about everything.
Do not trust anything they say.
Matter of fact, read what they say and you'll know the opposite is true.
Remember when the Nord Stream 2 pipeline was sabotaged, an explosive device went off? The Nord Stream 2 pipeline goes from Russia to Germany. The reason the Nord Stream 2 pipeline
was so strategically relevant,
especially given the Ukraine crisis going on now,
is because other pipelines traveled from Russia through Ukraine
and sent their natural gas to Europe through Ukraine.
Ukraine got transit fees and got money from that.
And also Ukraine, obviously, given that the pipeline was on their land,
could have sabotaged the pipeline.
The Russians didn't like that.
So they built a pipeline under the Baltic Sea called Nord Stream 2 that went right to Germany to bypass Ukraine to say, middle finger to Ukraine, look, we're going to sell this stuff direct.
Now, Donald Trump didn't like the Nord Stream pipeline.
Matter of fact, he spoke out against it often because it gave the Russians a strategic advantage in the energy space.
Now, Joe Biden, interestingly enough, and their team saw the Nord Stream as a threat, too.
They saw it as a threat multiple times.
That's a fact.
So when the Nord Stream pipeline was bombed, we had said on the show months ago when it happened, again, weeks ahead of the action, if not months, why would the Russians do it?
Ladies and gentlemen, we talked to a lot of people, and I'm not going to pretend there's some deep cl clandestine sources that were underseas divers that did it themselves. But I talked to a number of people with experience in the Intel justice, Intel, Intel justice and law enforcement space who said it makes no freaking
sense. Why would the Russians blow up their own pipeline? What did the Russians get out of it?
Oh, well, they could say the U S did it and bomb us. Well, they could just bomb us anyway.
It didn't make sense.
Now, if they're doing this in our name and we pay for our taxpayer dollars,
with our taxpayer dollars for our military,
then I think we're entitled to know what's going on.
Or if you're going to leave it quiet, leave it quiet and at least don't lie to us when we suggest, hey, we may have been involved in this.
You get my point, folks? I get I don't lie to us when we suggest, hey, we may have been involved in this.
You get my point, folks? I get I don't need to know everything. Dan Bongino doesn't need to be briefed on every single classified situation. That would be hilariously stupid to suggest.
I'm simply suggesting that me as an opinion guy, when I look at the situation that's now public,
everybody knew it was bombed. It wasn't a secret. And I say, hey, listen, because this could
escalate into World War III, I think we may have had a role in this that maybe just shut the and don't
attack me as a conspiracy theorist when I'm right. Well, it appears from the Seymour Hersh piece
that I may have been right. A bombshell substat called How America Took Out the Nord Stream
Pipeline. This thing set the internet on freaking fire yesterday.
He notes the New York Times called it a mystery,
but the United States executed a covert sea operation that was kept secret until now.
How did they do it?
Well, according to Hirsch and his sources,
last June, Navy divers operated under the cover
of a widely publicized NATO exercise, BALTOPS-22.
They planted remotely triggered explosives
that three months later
destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines,
according to a source with direct knowledge
of the operational planning.
Holy...
Really?
As I said,
it was pretty obvious we did it,
but we're at least involved in it from the start.
You don't need to confirm that to me,
our military,
you owe me nothing.
But I would really deeply appreciate it
that if we discussed it,
given the fact that it's kind of important
towards fending off nuclear Armageddon,
that you don't attack me as a conspiracy theorist,
but they just can't stop.
Oh, this piece gets better. Apparently, in order to hide this operation, which is questionable
ethically at best for members of Congress, which Joe, how many branches of government do we have?
Three, I thought, right? Is it four, three? Three last time I checked. Yeah.
Can you, it's three, three branches? Oh, branches oh so the oh so the president's not the oh there's okay that's good so there is another
branch of government called uh congress congress encompassing the u.s senate and house of
representatives so congress is supposed to know about these covert operations but the biden
administration of course because they make their own rules and make it up as they go along the
biden administration said, screw that stuff.
Here's what we're going to do.
This is where the Hersh article gets fascinating.
So apparently they wanted to use these Navy divers.
Navy, which, by the way, incredibly talented.
So hat tip to you all.
Yeah, man.
But, oh my gosh, I mean, these operations.
But the divers were Navy only, Hersh notes.
Why does that matter they were not members of american special up american special operations command whose covert operations
must be reported to congress and briefed in advance to senate and house leadership called
the gang of eight the biden administration was doing everything possible to avoid leaks as the planning took place in 2021 into the first months of 2022.
They were.
They were doing everything to avoid leaks.
That's kind of interesting.
So do you get what they're doing here?
If they would have used SOCOM, any special operations branch, our SEALs, these underwater divers, rather than traditional Navy divers, they would have had to report it.
these underwater divers, rather than traditional Navy divers,
they would have had to report it.
So they didn't want to report it because the Biden administration are sleazy slimeballs and they want to do everything outside of the rules, so to say, and protocols.
So they're saying, oh, we wanted to avoid leaks.
That's really strange because do you remember when Joe Biden,
right before the Ukraine invasion, publicly said
this? If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine again,
then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.
There will be no longer a Norse team, too.
We will bring an end to it.
How will you do that exactly,
since the project and control of the project is within Germany's control?
We will.
I promise you we'll be able to do it.
Joe, they wanted to keep it a secret.
Wow. It's like saying, i'm trying to think of an
analogy it's you know you got a super bowl this sunday so obviously you want your your your
offensive game plan to be kept secret from the opposing team's defense so it's like discussing
your first 21 plays on tv a week before the superbowl. Then go, we need to keep this secret folks.
So Joe's not really good. Not Armacost, not Biden that is. Joe is very good at keeping it secret. Joe Biden is not. So why do you say that? And then I'm like, gosh, this Seymour
Hirsch piece just nails it. Now it makes a world of sense. Part three, Seymour Hersh's piece. I got to give the Biden team credit for
this one. They are sleazeballs, but they're good sleazeballs. Like they're really good at being
sleazy. Hersh notes that the plan to blow up Nord Stream was suddenly downgraded from a covert
operation, as we discussed before, requiring Congress be informed, to one that was deemed a highly classified intelligence
operation with U.S. military support. Oh, under the law, the source told Seymour Hersh,
there was no longer a legal requirement to report the operation to Congress.
All they had to do now is just do it. But it's still had to be secret because the Russians have
superlative surveillance of the Baltic Sea. Now it makes
perfect sense. You picking up what Hersh is putting down? Biden probably said that on purpose, folks,
long before they blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. Why?
So that they could go to Congress. It wasn't covert. We already said it out in the public what we were going to do.
Again, they're sleazeballs,
but they're really good at being sleazeballs.
The Hearst piece, folks, is amazing.
It's in the newsletter today,
bongino.com slash newsletter.
I can't recommend in strong enough terms
that you read it.
He goes into exactly that.
How Biden's leak of, which stunned the media that he would say this, promising that we
have ways to take out a key strategic pipeline that connects to one of our international
partners, Germany.
Remember, Russia was on one side, but Germany was on the other.
Why would he say that?
Now you know.
So he could, in a sleazeball way not inform congress of an
operation that could set off world war three i want to get to another piece of video here
it's going to make a lot of sense now too and how the deep state goes after people like me
who tell you the truth do you remember when tony blinken publicly stated after the detonation of the explosives on the Nord Stream pipeline that it was a, quote, tremendous opportunity?
You're like, Dan, I heard that video on your show along with the prior Biden one months ago when you suggested we had a role in this.
I did. And then I was called a conspiracy theorist and a kook and fact checkers attacked my Facebook page.
I'm going to play that for you again. Now it'll make even more sense how not only do they do what they do,
not notify Congress, when people like us figure it out,
they attack us rather than just shutting them up.

So, and just a quick note, by the way, a lot of you have been asking about my health.
I don't want to distract at all.
I'm not going to make any of the show about me anymore.
I promise you I'm doing okay.
I know my hand looks bad, but I've had tons of people look at it. I have my physical therapist, Nick, here yesterday. He's doing a great job. I promise you I'm doing okay. I know my hand looks bad, but I've had tons of people look
at it. I have my physical therapist, Nick, here yesterday. He's doing a great job. I promise I'm
okay. I deeply appreciate it. I just don't want you to waste any of your time concerned about me.
There are important things going on. So thank you. So we covered this audio clip on my show.
And again, we were called crazed conspiracy theorists and nutbags and total nut jobs
for suggesting that when our Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, suggested that the detonation of the Nord Stream pipeline and the explosion
was a tremendous opportunity, Joe, that that may be a wink and a nod that we had something to do.
We were called lunatics. So here, why don't you just listen to that again? Check this out.
This is also a tremendous opportunity. It's a tremendous opportunity to once and for all
remove the dependence on Russian energy and thus to take away from Vladimir Putin the weaponization
of energy as a means of advancing his imperial designs. That's very significant and that offers
tremendous strategic opportunity for the years to come.
But meanwhile, we're determined to do everything we possibly can
to make sure that the consequences of all of this
are not borne by citizens in our countries
or for that matter, around the world.
Now, again, we aired that and said,
well, that's kind of suspicious.
I play the clip, but it's just stupid.
Hey, look, you can go watch the show. Just go back to the, and look, you can see it yourself.
We said, well, that's kind of really weird that we would say that after Biden suggested he had
a plan. He promises actually, Joe, he had a plan to do this. It happened. After it happened,
it was called a tremendous opportunity. And people like me were like a b c that that means we probably
had a role and of course what happened he attacks on me and others a couple things first though the
wall street journal put out he's now now i want you to pay attention to the misdirection so now
we've pretty clearly established that although the Hirsch, I'm
still waiting to confirm Hirsch's story. He has a source there and I think it's only fair,
but the story's bombshell. If his source is accurate and we did this, this is one of the
biggest stories of our time. Now I want you to watch, we've established we likely had a role
in this. I want you to watch the misdirection, how they do the shiny red object thing. Look here,
I want you to watch the misdirection, how they do the shiny red object thing.
Look here.
Here's a tweet from the Wall Street Journal about NATO and the EU claiming there was going to be a harsh response, Joe, to the sabotage of the pipeline.
Oh, really?
What are they going to do?
Attack us?
We in NATO?
We in NATO, guys?
Oh, we are in NATO.
Yeah, bro.
Gosh, it's so weird. NATO was going to attack nato or something so of course the politifact and others had to get involved because it's the symbiote it's the
deep state international organizations nato bureaucrats government, social media, Google The symbiote, they all lie to you
Look, squirrel
Now what do I always tell you about PolitiFact?
Here's the hilarious Sierra O'Rourke
A joke of a human being
Of course, probably doesn't even realize
She's a useful idiot for the deep state
There's our good friend Sierra
Who wrote this wonderful piece of PolitiFact
Anthony Blinken confesses that Biden
is responsible for the Nord Stream pipeline leaks.
False.
Notice what they do here.
Let me tell you how Sierra
and the morons at PolitiFact work.
They're useful idiots for the regime.
And believe me, I use that word regime very deliberately.
They're part of the symbiote,
the censorship Soviet symbiote.
So because they knew I was right, that we likely had
a role in this, Facebook had to stop me from speaking on their platform. So because Facebook
doesn't want to do it directly, Facebook outsources their work to morons like Sierra O'Rourke and
PolitiFact. They then pick out something someone said like, Blinken admitted it, which no, he didn't admit it, but he hinted at it.
OK, he hinted that it was an opportunity indicating, yes, we may have had some role in it.
How else would you interpret that? They picked that one thing out and then it gets caught up in what Facebook calls an algorithm.
That's really Facebook's way of saying thank you, PolitiFact, for making this story go away and censoring Dan
Bongino. Anyone then who mentions the pipeline story got censored on Facebook like me.
We got censored for that, for telling you the truth. You see how the symbiote works?
Proving my point again, that what PolitiFact and these other goons tell you is fake and if it's a major
story is almost always the
dipsy-doo flipperoo. It's almost
always true. Nearly
every single time.
Now here's where this story
This is where
this story gets crazy.
Do you remember
a pee-pee tape hoaxer and Russian collusion hoaxer, Victoria
Newland? Victoria Newland has been an Obama, Biden, Hillary Clinton ass kisser for the last
two decades. Pretty much every major democratic scandal of the last two decades involves Victoria
Newland. She was knee deep in the Russian collusion hoax. I don't have time to go over that
whole thing today, but you can just put it in a search engine. It's in my books. You can read
about it. She is knee deep in this thing, Victoria Nuland. Victoria Nuland is as insider a bureaucrat
as there's ever been in the government. It's interesting because even Victoria Nuland,
who is as in the know as you're going to get, again, a grand dame of the symbiote,
the misdirection symbiote. She said this in January of 2022. State Department vows Nord Stream 2 will
be a hunk of metal at the bottom of the ocean if Russia invades Ukraine. Who said that?
if Russia invades Ukraine.
Who said that?
Victoria Nuland.
So now we've got Tony Blinken calling the explosion of the pipeline,
the bombing of the pipeline,
a tremendous opportunity.
We got Biden promising the press
he had a plan to take the pipeline out.
And we've got Victoria Nuland,
pee-pee hoaxer,
saying way before it happened
that if Russia invades Ukraine,
that it will be a hunk of metal at the bottom of the ocean the same pipeline and yet i was censored for
telling you joe i don't know that kind of sounds like we may have had a role in this it's just you
know what we haven't used this in a while joe in some limited circles they call that a clue a clue clue, buddy. Now,
showing that
it seems to be a bipartisan
mess here,
here's a rather interesting
exchange with Marco Rubio,
senator from here in Florida.
Marco Rubio
is on CNN, despite the
overwhelming evidence we had a role in this.
He doesn't have to say anything. But I want you to listen to the end where Rubio is pretty CNN, despite the overwhelming evidence we had a role in this. He doesn't have to say anything.
But I want you to listen to the end where Rubio is pretty sure Russia bombed their own pipeline, which is super weird.
See how this works?
Take a listen.
Does the U.S. have evidence that Russia is responsible?
Well, I'm not going to comment on whatever intelligence products they've produced or had.
I think logic and common sense will tell you that these things don't blow up on their own, especially
in strategic and key points. Someone has to know where the vulnerabilities are and someone has to
have the capability to go down there and do it. So there's only a handful of countries that do.
I doubt very seriously that the Chinese are involved in it, although I'm not a fan of the
Chinese Communist Party. I wouldn't go as far as to accuse them of doing that. I think it's pretty
clear someone did this and the only people in that region who have both the motive and the capability
to have done it are Russian or Russian forces. So I think for me, it's not an intelligence matter
at this point. It's a common sense matter. Really? It's common sense? Does that sound
like common sense to you, Guy? No, Joe, what about you, bud? Common sense? Sounds weird.
No, Joe, what about you, bud?
Common sense?
Sounds weird.
So you've got Victoria Nuland, pee-pee hoaxer, decades-long swamp rodent.
They stench of the swamp like you've never seen, saying, hey, man, Russia invades Ukraine.
That pipeline is going to be a hunk of metal.
We got Joe Biden going, I promise you we got a plan to take out that pipeline.
We've got our Secretary of State state after we take out the pipeline.
Oh, wow.
It's a tremendous opportunity.
And yeah, Russia did it.
And if we dared to claim otherwise, we were definitely Russian bots working for RT and the Russians.
A hundred percent.
It's common sense, guys.

Okay, I want you to hold that thought
because again, that Rubio exchange there
is another example of how the symbiote works.
Now, I said to you before,
to be fair to Rubio and his team,
because unlike the left-wing media,
I refuse to give you slanted coverage.
It's clear based on the Hirsch reporting
that the president of the United States against
protocol hid this from Congress, the Senate included. So Rubio might not have known that we
may have had a role in the Nord Stream pipeline. I say may because the Hirsch reporting hasn't been
fully confirmed yet, right? But for Rubio to jump to the conclusion that the Russians did it,
for Rubio to jump to the conclusion that the Russians did it,
you know, everything's always Russia all the time.
You know, Russia's not our friend.
I think that's fairly obvious.
Russia is Russia's friend only.
But it seems to me, again, like an excuse to not tell people the truth and just kind of gin up
this impulse to want to fight every country on planet Earth.
I don't like it.
So I told you about Victoria Nuland, right?
I want you to watch this exchange because we're going to move on to a second story.
Remember the Biolab story?
Just like the Nord Stream story.
We got out ahead of that one too.
We got out ahead of that one and said, gosh, there were bio research facilities in Ukraine?
That seems kind of like a big story given that bio research facilities in Wuhan unleashed
COVID, because if those facilities were taken over by Russian forces and have some kind
of dangerous pathogen, I'd really want to know about that.
You, Joe, be kind of good to know, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, we've only been through this little COVID.
You remember it?
You heard of that COVID?
Remember that thing? Couple of people got sick. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we've only been through this little COVID. You remember it? You heard of that COVID? Remember that thing? A couple of people got sick. Yeah. Yeah. It's bad. Yeah. Here's an interesting exchange between, you guessed it, Victoria Nuland, pee-pee hoaxer, deep stater,
and Marco Rubio again, where Victoria Nuland is asked about, hey, are there bio labs in Ukraine? Because when I covered
this story along with Tucker, we were called conspiracy theorists and nuts. And I was censored
on Facebook yet again. Yet it's really strange because just like I use the Tony Blinken and Biden
clips to tell you that we probably had a role in blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline, I use
Victoria Nuland's own words to tell you that we had biolabs in Ukraine because the craziest thing happened, Joe. She actually said it and she told
it to who? Crazy Marco Rubio. Does Ukraine have chemical or biological weapons? Ukraine has
biological research facilities, which in fact, we are now quite concerned Russian troops,
Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of. So we are working with the Ukrainians on how they
can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach.
I'm sure you're aware that the Russian propaganda groups are already putting out there all kinds
of information about how they've uncovered a plot by the Ukrainians to release biological weapons
in the country and with NATO's coordination. If there's a biological or chemical weapon incident
or attack inside of Ukraine, is there any doubt in your mind that 100% it would be the Russians that would be behind it?
There is no doubt in my mind, Senator, and it is classic Russian technique to blame on the other guy what they're planning to do themselves.
Probably is classic Russian technique.
They're quite good at disinformation and misinformation.
But you see how Rubio almost kind of teased the question up? The bunt?
So if there's a release of a deadly pathogen that could potentially come from a biolab facility,
we may have had a role in funding. The Russians definitely did it. No matter what,
Rubio's already convinced. You see how newly, oh, yes, yes.
Thank you, Senator.
Definitely the Russians did it, which they probably would.
But they're convinced it happened, just like Rubio was convinced Russia bombed the pipeline.
Now, hat tip to the great reporters at the National Pulse, Raheem Kassam and Natalie Winters,
who we hat tipped when they blew the doors off this story. And of course, they were called what,
fellas, when they blew the doors off the bio lab story. What do you think they were called?
Conspiracy. They were. Everybody was fact checked. Stories were wiped out.
They had three stories on this. Why would the United States government that lies to us about everything, UFOs, spy balloons,
pee-pee hoaxes, drapes in Nikki Haley's apartment, why would they lie to us about biolabs in
Ukraine?
Well, maybe, just maybe, because our goon hack of a president who's in bed with the
Chinese Communist Party, Ukraine, and just about any other country his son did business.
Communist Party, Ukraine, and just about any other country his son did business.
What if his son and a business he was associated with was associated with biolabs in Ukraine? No!
No, that can't be. These articles are all in our newsletter backed up by sound, solid reporting.
You know what? Before we get to them, let me get to my last part. I'm going to run straight through this because you're going to see it again,
how whenever the truth is exposed, they don't just shut up and leave it alone.
They go on attack because your government lies to you about everything. Folks, this Valentine's

off this story after Rubio and Nuland were convinced that if there was some bioweapons lab in Ukraine,
it was released. The Russians definitely did it. And wouldn't it be weird if Biden was covering up
bio labs in Ukraine because his son may have had a role and a company he was involved may have had
a role. Exclusive national pulse. Hunter Biden biofirm partnered with Ukrainian researchers to isolate deadly pathogens
using funds from Obama's defense department. Guys, guys, gents, you can't. This is like
the worst Jason Bourne novel ever. This is like bizarro Jason Bourne. It's like Schmation
Schorn, like the stupid. This how dumb hunter biden and his crew was
everything has a paper trail and with the paper trail it's all on his email in a digital trail
on his computer in a computer trail that this idiot left at a freaking computer store
natalie winters this is by the way look at the date in this article march of 2022 we covered
it when it broke it's only a massive story and again we were censored she notes in july of 2021
they reported exclusively the connection between metabiota hunter biden and the pandemic linked
eco health alliance which worked closely with dr. Fauci's National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the notorious Wuhan Laboratory.
Oh my gosh, you can't make this up.
So a firm associated with Hunter Biden is involved in a funding vehicle for a bio labs,
bio company that's working on bio labs in Ukraine.
That's also involved with Fauci and see how the symbiote works.
Oh, this story gets even better.
So that's the Hunter Biden angle on it.
There's an Obama angle too.
Oh yeah.
Here's another Natalie winners exclusive.
I'm sure she'll be called a conspiracy theorist again.
Again, look at the date.
It's only March of 2022.
We covered this story too.
Exclusive deleted webpages.
Deleted.
Deleted.
Why would the government delete webpages?
Because they're the government
and they lie to you about everything.
Deleted webpages show Barack Obama led an effort
to build a Ukraine-based biolab
handling, quote, especially dangerous pathogens.
Wouldn't it be really weird if people associated with Hunter Biden
had lobbied the Obama Defense Department, led by Chuck Hagel, to establish those labs?
Turns out that's what some of the evidence on the computer may suggest.
Gosh, this is so crazy.
Here's another just glorious angle.
Hunter Biden invested in a pandemic firm collaborating with Peter Daszak's EcoHealth and the Wuhan Lab.
By who?
Natalie Winters again.
This is June of 2021.
Remember Rosemont Seneca?
An investment firm Hunter Biden was associated with? Yeah,
you've heard of them, right? Well, here's where it's really bananas. They were a lead financial
backer of Metabiota, a pandemic tracking and response firm that's partnered with DashX,
EcoHealth Alliance, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Also the company later written about
by the national pulse associated
with these ukrainian bio labs it's almost as if they left like a breadcrumb trail this is
shmation shorn i think he said it right i'm telling he's a man of few words he's like i can't i can't
what part can't you believe that they were this stupid?
Or, I mean, really.
Yeah, he said that the balls and the temerity of them to do it.
You're right.
I don't know the angle that's worse.
Now, Tucker Carlson exposed this story on his show, along with Natalie Winters and us who covered Winters and National Pulse's reporting, right? Tucker exposed this story on his show and of course was immediately savaged
by morons in the press. I'll show you that in a minute because the symbiote has to attack the
media, Google, social media, and fact checkers have to attack immediately because the government
lies and that's the protection operation, right? They're the bouncers for the government.
Tucker exposed this on his show
and he was absolutely savaged.
Here's a quick look at the segment
he was savaged about.
Take a listen.
So for months now,
we've been reading mentions on the internet
of US-funded bio labs in Ukraine
and we have not taken the bait.
We did not do a single segment on this.
We didn't even really follow up on the story.
It seemed way too unlikely.
The last thing we want to do
is repeat information that's incorrect or traffic in legitimate conspiracy theories.
And those are real, actually.
So we didn't do any story about that until the day that the undersecretary of state, Toria Newland, who was in charge of the war in Ukraine, told a Senate committee that actually there are U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine.
And what's in those bio labs is
so dangerous, she's terrified it'll fall into Russian hands. So that got us asking in public,
what? Why is the U.S. government funding some kind of biological research in Ukraine? What is it for?
We were immediately shouted out. You can't ask that question, but we can because we're American
citizens. It's our money. It's being done in our name. And so we would like to know the Biden administration, of course, didn't answer.
We found out from a separate source, the obvious, which is some of these are bioweapons, of course.
Now we know more. Over this weekend, the show obtained a number of documents from a former
high ranking U.S. official that show the U.S. government through the Pentagon did, in fact,
fund research into deadly pathogens
in Ukraine. According to one of the documents sometime between 2007 and 2008, quite some time
ago, the Pentagon approved the development of a, quote, multi-pathogen mapping project to,
among other things, quote, take molecular fingerprinting of pathogens endemic to Ukraine
and strain transfer. He went on to ask a few pretty simple questions, Joe, in that segment,
because the Defense Department, using their stenographers,
and you know who I'm talking about,
immediately came out and said,
oh, no, no, these aren't bio labs,
they're bio research facilities playing the a-hole euphemisms game.
And they said, it's just a way to get rid of soviet era bio weapons
joe up the soviet union that ended a little while ago right i'm just was it like last week
it was kind of like decades ago right like reagan bush era when it started to collapse and ultimately
fell i'm just it's been a while you're like bush it's been a while no no hw oh yeah it's been a while that's really strange yeah yeah so um soviet era bioweapons now and then taco brings
up another interesting point later saying well and the reason we had these facilities because
we were afraid the russians would get a hand on these bioweapons bioweapons we were funding? And why would the Russians need to get them if they already had them?
They were Soviet era bioweapons.
That's a little confusing.
Weird.
It's almost like the Defense Department is lying to you again.
Kind of like about the UFO thing.
Nah, no way.
Never think it'll happen.
Now again, just like the first story, tying it all together, watch the shiny red object.
Watch the misdirection now.
The symbiote automatically, the agitprop lying Soviet scumbags, jump right into action to
stop people like me, Tucker, Natalie, Raheem,
anyone else from telling you the real story.
Here's Glenn Kessler, noted Washington Post,
fibber and fairy tale teller.
The truth about Hunter Biden and Ukrainian biolabs.
Reciting exactly Defense Department talking points because he's a stenographer for the symbiote
and giving this story a false rating.
Wait, four Pinocchios or something like that?
Jumps right in, immediately, right into action.
So I did, I always like to take screenshots from my phone
to show you how it's not just the Washington Post
and media and fact checkers
who were involved
in the misdirection symbiote, never always lying to you and covering for government lies.
It's crazy that the press that's constitutionally protected to expose government lies
uses their constitutional protection to reinforce government. Isn't that crazy?
So here's again, another screenshot from my phone. I always leave the little picture of me in the
corner in case you think I'm making that up. I logged into a Google account, right?
That's me with my daughter.
She was singing at my congressional run.
Google.
Always go to the left-wing Soviet account to show you how they contribute this.
I put in Ukraine Biolabs.
Glad I spelled all that right.
It was early in the morning.
That's my phone.
And look at the first story that comes up.
So crazy.
Government-sponsored NPR.
How the false Russia Biolab story came to circulate among the U.S. far right.
He said it right, Joe.
Man, that's a lot of buzzwords in one headline.
And they're getting government money to do it.
It's NPR.
First story pops right up. And of course, you can never leave PolitiFact out. Here's again,
the hapless Samantha Putterman, useful idiot of the day. Here she is in June. The Pentagon,
there's a Samantha. Thank you, Samantha. Everyone needs a useful idiot. Jumped right into action.
Samantha, rating is false that the Pentagon finally comes clean
amidst there are 46 U.S. military-funded
biolabs in Ukraine.
False.
It's so weird how it's false.
So crazy.
You actually heard Victoria Nuland confirm it.
It's kind of strange how it's false.
This is hilarious, man.
This is so great.
Now, I helped expose this story with all of these folks
I mentioned, along with exposing the Nord Stream story, because you're entitled to the truth.
Of course, helped expose the collusion hoax early on, wrote books on it, the impeachment hoax.
And although you've been way ahead of the game on this show, the balloon hoax, that this was
some kind of rare incident, I became public enemy number one
with the US government. Folks, listen, this isn't some like puff King Kong moment for me, okay?
It's true. The Ukrainian embassy was monitoring my social media traffic. That's a fact. You can
look it up yourself. Just put in Judicial Watch, Dan Bongino, and you'll see it comes up right away. They were monitoring my social media traffic because I was exposing what people like Victoria Nuland and others were up to in Ukraine. Also, I became a target of social media companies that I believe were working with the government to censor my traffic.
traffic. Now, at a congressional hearing yesterday about exactly that, Twitter government malfeasance and the censoring of stories and the weaponizing of government through Twitter, a Twitter executive
was asked specifically by a Republican representative, Blanchette, about me, why I was
shadow banned by Twitter. And watch how she plays the euphemisms game. It wasn't shadow banned,
it was the flex capacitation of the ink.
I want you to listen to this whole exchange because I had
to be shut down from telling you about these
two stories. Take a listen.
Ma'am, Mr. Bongino has
more than 3.5 million
Twitter followers. Is that correct,
would you say?
I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that question. Okay, well that is correct.
Let's look at Mr. Kirk's account.
Miss Gaddy, can I get you to read the yellow labels on Mr. Kirk's account? Can you see those?
I'm sorry. I can't see them from right here. All right.
Do you know that Mr. Kirk has almost 2 million followers?
I was not aware of that. Okay. Let me ask you, what is a search blacklist?
I do not know specifically what that is, but I could make a guess if that would be helpful.
Why don't you make a guess for me, please?
We do.
When I was at Twitter, there was an ability to prevent something from appearing in one of the tabs of search results.
Okay, thank you.
What does do not amplify mean?
To the best of my recollection, when I was at Twitter,
it would mean that we would not recommend or amplify that content
in the parts of Twitter where Twitter was making recommendations.
Thank you, ma'am.
So they wouldn't amplify that content.
You know, God forbid you saw my posts
exposing these two stories,
the Nord Stream Pipeline and the BioLabs.
God forbid you saw that on Twitter
and the people actually shared it.
You can't have that
because the Soviet communist symbiote
of which Twitter, our FBI, and others are a member,
and they had to shut that down.
They've been watching me for a long time.
It's just a fact.
Does it make you uncomfortable,
me? Nah. I got through that whole cancer thing. Everything else is like, you know, seriously.
Just a couple more from that Twitter hearing. AOC was the designated moron of the day yesterday.
She's apparently the last person on earth To find out that the Hunter Biden laptop
Signed for by Hunter Biden
That Hunter Biden dropped off
With a Biden family sticker on the laptop
Containing Hunter Biden's emails, texts, and videos
Whose lawyer wants their back
Admitting basically that it's their Hunter Biden laptop
Despite claiming otherwise.
AOC hasn't found that out yet.
Leftists love being lied to by idiots.
The single dumbest person in Congress, AOC, who again is not convinced the Hunter Biden
laptop is real.
Well, she's convinced.
She's just hoping you're not convinced and that you're dumber than she is.
Here, take a listen.
Instead, we're talking about Hunter Biden's half fake laptop story. I mean, this is an embarrassment. It's a half fake story, as Guy pointed out. It's take a listen. Instead, we're talking about Hunter Biden's half-fake laptop story. I mean, this is
an embarrassment. It's a half-fake story
as Guy pointed out. It's not a whole fake.
It's just half-fake. Which half she hasn't told us?
She hasn't told us
which half is fake. Is it the sex tapes?
The crack? The emails?
The texts? Which part,
AOC? Can someone go up there?
Kerry Pickett's a great reporter. Can you get her on record
on which half she
sure is fake? I'd love to know
because we'll talk about it on the show.
Supposed to
be a big women's rights activist, too.
She'd appreciate what's happening to the women on those
videos. Or is that the half fake part?
I'm not sure.
Here is another one. Here's the
backup useful idiot of the day, a representative
of Stansberry, another moron, who says that the whole thing is guess what fellas a conspiracy theory of course
check this out what are we doing here in this committee today why are we here why is this
committee devoting a day-long hearing to a political conspiracy theory that was planted in the media
by Rudy Giuliani to support Donald Trump's re-election campaign.
It's really funny because Rudy Giuliani was being monitored, their social media,
by the Ukrainian embassy too, along with me. So weird how it all ties together, the symbiote.
They just keep recycling the same stuff. here's the best one of all twitter executive who apparently still thinks
the standard for government intervention and free speech is if someone screams fire in a movie
theater watch or use the what an idiot check this out every day we had to decide whether a particular piece of content equated to yelling fire in a crowded theater.
My work at Twitter and subsequently at Twitch.
That's really funny.
Yeah, Twitter has to use the equivalent of a standard nobody uses, fire in a movie theater.
No, no, Dan, that's the government standard.
It is.
Not if you listen to this show.
It isn't because we've told you this a thousand times.
Here's an article by a left winger in the Atlantic.
It's time to stop using fire in a crowded theater.
If they realized this was never binding law and the underlying case,
the underlying case is not only one of the most odious free speech decisions in the court's history
and was overturned 40 years ago, you'd probably stop using that stupid analogy.
But you work at Twitter.
