The Dan Bongino Show - Chaos Outside The White House as the Liberal Rage Mob Attacks (Ep 1333)

Episode Date: August 28, 2020

In this episode, I address the stunning close to the Republican National Convention and I give a first hand account of what it was like. I also discuss the bombshell dropped by Nancy Pelosi about the ...presidential debates.  News Picks: Nancy Pelosi finally says it! Joe Biden shouldn’t debate. Because he can’t. Trump destroys Biden in his GOP acceptance speech. Racist Democrats continue to insult Black conservatives. It’s disgusting.  Obama and Biden back the NBA’s boycotting of itself.  The NBA can’t even boycott itself.  CNN can’t get out of their own way. It’s embarrassing.  Copyright Bongino Inc All Rights Reserved. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

There's a couple things I want to cover on today's show. Number one, what you're witnessing right now is not, forget about a peaceful protest. There's no question. Forget peaceful. You can throw peaceful out the window. This is not a protest at all. What you're witnessing is a mob, the mob takeover of America. That's what
Starting point is 00:01:08 you're witnessing right now. Secondly, I want to address from someone who was on the ground last night at President Trump's acceptance speech, the media version of what happened and what actually happened.

Today's show brought to you by friends at BCM.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Bravo Company Manufacturing, BCM for short. They build a professional grade product built to combat standards. That's because BCM believes in the same level of protection should be provided to every American, regardless if you're a private citizen or a professional. Bravo Company Manufacturing is not a sporting arms company. They design, engineer, and manufacture life-saving equipment. BCM assumes that when a rifle leaves their shop, it'll be used in a life or death situation by a responsible citizen, law enforcement officer, or soldier overseas. Quality is all that matters to them.
Starting point is 00:02:12 Every component of a BCM rifle is hand-assembled and tested by Americans in Heartland, Wisconsin to a life-saving standard. BCM has always put people before their products. They build their products because they feel it's a moral responsibility to provide Americans with life-saving tools. These are not sporting rifles. These are life-saving pieces of equipment, the finest rifles out there. God forbid you're involved in a scenario where it's not a paper target and someone's coming to do you harm.

Starting point is 00:02:49 All right, I have to give myself a let's go today. A lot to talk about. So I'm going to get to this first. So last night, as you know, I told you on the show, Paul and I attended the speech in the South Grounds in the White House where President Trump accepted the nomination
Starting point is 00:03:04 for the Republican Party for a second term. The speech was magnificent. The ceremony was magnificent. I'm going to have some highlights from the speech. My voice is a little worn out. I'm sorry. Hopefully, I'll recover a little bit by the end of the show. But a lot of talking, a lot of photo taken last night.
Starting point is 00:03:18 It was all great. The event was fantastic. Again, we'll get to that. But what was interesting about the event, if you ever wanted a microcosm of what this election 2020 is about, it was at that event last night. You were sitting there on the South Grounds and you were listening to these speeches from these amazing Americans, from Ben Carson to Ann Dorn, to President Trump, to Ivanka, to Duran, everyone.
Starting point is 00:03:44 The speeches were amazing. Mueller family. And you know what was playing in the background? On the streets? The lunatic mob was gathering. You didn't hear that from the media, did you? You didn't hear that from CNN, that they were outside with bullhorns, You didn't hear that from CNN that they were outside with bullhorns, air horns, honking horns, playing like rage music outside, trying to interrupt the event.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Illegal? No. that can't control themselves for a couple hours, while American citizens trying to proudly represent their party in a free city, in a free country, do it for a few hours. You couldn't do that? You had to come in and ruin it with your moms? And by the way, there was a tension I could feel growing amongst the crowd as the night wore on, and we closed in on 11 o'clock because the sounds outside got louder. Put yourself in our shoes.
Starting point is 00:04:49 We're all sitting there and you're hearing these screaming and these yelling and these raving lunatic banshees outside getting louder and louder and louder. And you know you got to walk back to your hotel. Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't been to DC and the White House,
Starting point is 00:05:03 there were no cabs waiting outside. You were walking through that and you knew you were going to run that gauntlet. And I'm telling you by the end of the night, everybody knew they were going to run that gauntlet. And they knew something else too. They knew they were in Washington, DC, not New York city during the Giuliani days,
Starting point is 00:05:22 or even the Bloomberg days, to be fair, where the RNC was in New York, the Republican National Convention. I remember, I worked there as a Secret Service agent. And there were isolated scrap-ups here and there, but generally people walked around safely and had no problems at all because the NYPD did their job. I'm not faulting Metro, DC Metro last night. The guys I met, the women I met, the cops there did the best they could do. But it is clear that their leadership, their political leadership, Muriel Bowser, had no intentions of keeping this event as secure as it needed to be.
Starting point is 00:05:54 None. Without further ado, this is after Paula and I left. So just to put you, paint a picture. We walked out on 17th Street. The minute you walked out, the minute you left the gate, literally, this is not even the minute, the second they opened the gate, there were the big inaugural gates up. They were all waiting right there, alleged protesters.
Starting point is 00:06:18 It's interesting because I'm not really sure what they were protesting because they never told us what they were protesting. sure what they were protesting because they never told us what they were protesting what they did tell me was that my wife was a um we're on terrestrial radio so i have to watch my language it rhymes with snitch class my wife paula paula who's an immigrant from columbia by the way she's a racist too according to the people outside so was was I. So as a matter of fact, so was everyone who left. Interestingly, the people yelling that at us were white people. My wife's Colombian.
Starting point is 00:06:58 So as we walked further down the street, one of them, what was the first thing they said? Paul is behind me. What was the first thing they told you, Paul, with the, hey, you with the white dress on like ho ho learn to walk in heels or something like that oh yeah that was that was cute so you may say well dan what did you do folks this isn't time for fake tough guy stuff and i'm maybe we'll tell that story on the unfamily friendly version of the show on another day where there may not be some legal consequences but
Starting point is 00:07:25 you have to be careful we're not the violent ones i am not going to be the one to initiate any type of violent action ever it's not what i do it's never what i did i however like any sane human being will defend myself if you put your hands on me. Nobody did that. We walked about two, three more blocks being called racist. How many middle fingers do you think we got? 50, 60 middle fingers or so?
Starting point is 00:07:55 One of them I noticed that I actually started to pursue a little bit, picked up the pace quite intensely after he figured out that the middle finger didn't go so well. So then we turned the corner. We were really by ourselves. We were walking in front of St. John's Church. And thankfully, about a minute after we met up, just coincidentally with Art Acevedo and a bunch of Border Patrol guys who were walking back to the same hotel, thank God. Oh, good point, the ladies. With this group, we're're walking in as i play this video there were two asian women in their what 60s maybe i'm not sure terrified they had just walked out of the event they were all on their own art and the border patrol guys and paula paula grabbed them first and said we need you to walk with us because Because as we walked down the street, there was a rage mob of about 300 people getting ready to swarm. Well, a couple of them, a group of about
Starting point is 00:08:50 25 decided they were going to leave that rage mob and focus on us and follow us back. Here's what happened. Come on. Come on. You make me ashamed to be a woman. Oh, man, you guys are clowns. You don't know how to do it. Yeah, I saw it. Nothing on my face. I saw it all night. I do. Video this guy.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Get him on tape. Give me your camera. Get him on tape. I did. I got him. I got him. Get him on tape. More. I got him. I got him.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Get him on tape. How do you like yourself? Yeah man. Are you by yourself? Are you by yourself and keep walking? I'm with you, man. Listen to your man. Listen to your man. Security has to scare you. He's.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Where's Jack? Y'all better follow these motherfuckers. You better follow these. He's very angry inside. You're very angry inside. Watch my show. Watch my show. A lot in there, right? That's me in the beginning calling them clowns and then tell them, Paul, I get these guys on tape.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I'm going to make them famous tomorrow. A lot of talkers, by the way, a lot of chatterboxes. Not a violent man. I never will be. There's no excuse for preemptive violence. None. I'm sorry. Not man. I never will be. There's no excuse for preemptive violence. None. I'm sorry. Not in a civilized country.
Starting point is 00:10:30 But if you want to dance, we can dance. They don't want to dance. Please watch the video. Go to my YouTube channel, youtube.com slash Bongino. Watch the video of the guy on the bike, the talker, the one who's talking most of the time. The one who says, not the guy who calls, but the bleeps, by the way, were another moron in the background asking me if that was my snitch class wife. You can figure out what he was really saying. We got to bleep that out.
Starting point is 00:11:02 the one saying to the other guys, to the pack of them, because they only attack like wolves in packs, except they're not wolves. They're like puppy dogs, saying, we're going to follow these mother all the way back to the hotel, which they did, to his credit. He wasn't kidding. But what was interesting about bike guy is he kept telling me how he wanted to fight me, but when given the opportunity
Starting point is 00:11:24 to get off the bike and actually do it, he never took that shot. I wonder why. Neither did the guy who called my wife a snitch class. So let me give you a couple takeaways from this. Takeaway number one, these guys and women are total cowards and chumps. What they do, and when you experience this for yourself, you'll see how they act. They attack
Starting point is 00:11:54 in packs. One of them will come over like the guy on the bike. He didn't say anything. By the way, this went on for almost a half an hour. He didn't say a word until other people, he didn't even know. They all know what to do. It's like they have this hive mind like Borg from Star Trek-like programming. They know they have to attack impacts because they are legitimately chumps. When you stare them in the face, they look down, they won't do anything as yellow-haired guy last night found out about. I'll have to tell you that story another time.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Thank God for my friend. You know who you are from the secret service who got in between me and yellow haired guy. They're total cowards when you confront them. Totally. Mark my words. They don't have a shred of courage or dignity, but they do attack in packs and it gives them like collective power because they know that if it breaks bad for them, their friends will hit you with a skateboard.
Starting point is 00:12:51 So what they do is, as you walk down the street, the bike guy comes out, he like kind of sniffs out. There he is. Thank you, Paula, for the screenshot. There's bike guy. We told him we make you famous. There you go, brother. There's your moment in the sun. Everybody gets their 15 minutes like this life loser. So bike guy kind of signals to people. Again, they don't know each other. They just know they're all paid to be there or paid or working for someone who's paid to be there in protest.
Starting point is 00:13:18 And then they like, and then they come over and you see them coming over like moths to a flame. And as it builds from two to five to 10 to about 20 where they're comfortable, all of a sudden, that's when it starts coming out. Is that your snitch class wife? We'll follow you to hotel, mother. I'm going to whoop. What did the guy tell me?
Starting point is 00:13:40 He's going to whoop my caboose. He didn't say. I said, right here. That's when I started laughing. That's me laughing at him in the beginning. Remember, this went on for a half an hour. I told the guy where I was staying, bike guy. He shockingly never showed up.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Wonder why. Another takeaway from this. These are not protests listen to me these are not protests listen to me again not only these not peaceful pro throw that out the window these are not protests they're not protests protests. We saw these people, some of them, leaving our hotel we were staying in this morning at six o'clock. Why are they staying in a hotel? How did they get there? The hotel we stayed in wasn't cheap. Did we not see three of them this morning, Paula, walking out? Yes, we did. These are not protests. This is a paid, organized mob of lunatics.
Starting point is 00:14:53 This is not a protest. I don't want to hear another peep from another liberal talking head who hasn't walked through these crowds. What we experienced last night with those two women in their 60s, scared out of their minds i was going to say something else i don't want to hear another damn peep out of your sick disturbed disgusting mouths about peaceful protests maybe during the day these nighttime protests are a rage mob period and when you live it and you see it you'll never unsee it again these are paid
Starting point is 00:15:30 organized sophisticated people who know exactly what they're doing they live relatively meaningless lives until they found a collective cause being paid to destroy the lives of others or organize other people to destroy the lives of others or organize other people to destroy the lives of others. They don't stand for anything. They attacked Senator Rand Paul last night, screaming about Breonna Taylor. You know, Breonna Taylor, didn't Rand Paul, isn't he one of the authors of the Breonna Taylor Act that's supposed to pull no-knock warrants? Yeah, he is.
Starting point is 00:16:17 So just to be clear, the Marxist terrorist BLM folks that were there last night attacked the guy demanding he say her name, Breonna Taylor, despite the fact that Rand Paul is the author of the Breonna Taylor Act to stop no-knock warrants? Tell me again how this is a protest? Marie Harf on Fox, can you tell me?
Starting point is 00:16:41 But they're mercy, puffy people. You walk through that. You went through, go through what we went through last night. But Brian Mass, congressman, double amputee, lost his legs in combat, went through last night. Yeah, he's missing his legs from the body. He has prosthetics. Confronted by the rage mob last night. Secondly, I told you I'd address first
Starting point is 00:17:06 that these are not protests. They are not. This is a paid, organized rage mob. Secondly, ladies and gentlemen, the media is living in an alternate universe. Ignore them completely. Just on this note, they will continue to tell you what happened last night.
Starting point is 00:17:22 I saw some reporting, oh, well, no big deal what happened to Rand Paul. He wasn't actually attacked. They didn't put hands on him. Folks, if you walk through what we walked through last night, believe me, you'd be singing a different tune. But secondly, about the event, I heard some commentary afterwards, oh, the president's speech was too long.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Listen, maybe it was a little long for a speech, but you didn't see the speech we did as we were there. It was received incredibly, incredibly by everyone there. The energy there was through the roof. It's an outdoor event. It's never going to sound like a thunderous indoor arena. I was there. I'm telling you.
Starting point is 00:17:58 If it was a dull event, I'd tell you. I don't have any reason to hide it. Folks, there were times in that event where people were in tears the speeches by the marine corps veteran who changed her life happens to be a black female which again doesn't matter to conservatives she was there last night after this she must have taped her speech people were crying hugging her giving people standing ovations as they came in one of the guys in the speech with those earrings who claimed he used to be a Bernie Sanders supporter,
Starting point is 00:18:30 he was there. He got a big round of applause. He walked out. Now he supports Trump. The energy there was through the roof. When Ann Dorn spoke, I got a clip of that. We'll play at the end. Folks, it was grass and you could have heard a pin drop.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Outside of the rage mob outside that was still playing their bullhorns while the wife of a slain former police officer killed during the riots was giving her speech yet the media portrayed it as some kind of dull event speech fell flat you weren't at the event I was at or you were and you're just lying about it the latter is probably more true let's get to the highlights of the speeches are important just a couple quick ones from uh oh yeah oh i'm thank you miss paula this is important
Starting point is 00:19:20 a huge thank you this is why it's great having a producer who can read your mind. She's your wife. It works that way. Arda Acevedo, Brandon Van Graak, and others, and the Border Patrol folks out there last night. This is a picture. Go to my youtube.com slash Bongino to see it. There's also a congressman from Texas.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Forgive me. I'm drawing it. We've been up all night. But this is the crew that escorted the two women, by the way, the two Asian women I was telling you about. There, if you're looking at YouTube, they're off to the right right there. You'll see these brave Border Patrol folks that are out there. They walk back with this crew.
Starting point is 00:19:55 And there's me in the middle. Paula was kind enough to take the picture and a couple of other folks. But these are the folks. There's, what, about five or six women in there who were being harassed, harassed, screamed at, yelled at, being called racist, being followed by, yes, this guy, bike guy. And this raving lunatic woman, by the way, on the right, who proceeded to tell my wife, if you go back and rewind the video, that she was ashamed of that my wife was a woman. Well, we're ashamed you're a human being. She's a little white girl, by the way, which again, doesn't matter to me. But that seemed black lives are supposed to matter.
Starting point is 00:20:34 It's supposed to care about minority lives, right? It's interesting. My wife's kind of Colombian immigrant and little white girl from Washington, D.C. is screaming in my wife's face how she's embarrassed that my wife's a woman. Weird how that happens, isn't it? We told you we'd make you famous. Here's your 15 minutes. It's not the kind of famous you wanted. Maybe it is. Probably celebrate being a loser. All right, let me go to Trump. I'm going to go a couple cuts because Trump's speech was long, I'm just going to play a few cuts. It was was really good though. Very well received. Well done.
Starting point is 00:21:05 And then two more, which were really just the, the crescendo of an incredible event hat tip to the RNC that put this on. Here's clip number one from Donald Trump last night, where he talks about optimistically how we're going to write the next chapter of American history again, which was a great foil considering the liberal lunatics were raging outside with their rage music and bullhorns. Check this out.
Starting point is 00:21:29 This November, we must turn the page forever on this failed political class. The fact is, I'm here. What's the name of that building? What's the name of that building? But I'll say it differently. The fact is we're here and they're not. To me, one of the most beautiful buildings anywhere in the world. And it's not a building. It's a home as far as I'm concerned.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Not even a house. It's a home. It's a wonderful place with an incredible history. But it's all because of you. Together, we will write the next chapter of the great American story. Folks, if you were there last night, it was amazing. I looked at Paul at a couple of points. We looked at each other and I whispered in her ear,
Starting point is 00:22:35 she has to turn her head. One of your names, we both have bad ears. So if we don't talk in the right ear, nobody hears each other. And I said, we'll tell our grandkids one day we were here. Right around that time when that part of the speech happened, a chant broke out four more years. And wouldn't you say, Paula, that was probably the most magical portion of the night?
Starting point is 00:22:52 It was amazing. There were a ton of highlights from President Trump's speech. So again, in the interest of time, I'm going to play another one I thought really, given what happened to us last night with the rage mob coming for us. I thought this was very well said. Check this out.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Always remember, they are coming after me because I am fighting for you. That's what's happening. He doesn't bend the knee, the president. He refuses to bend the knee, the president. He refuses to bend the knee. And that's why they hate him. They're used to Republicans backing down and cowering every time the media writes a BS story. He won't do it.
Starting point is 00:23:42 And it drives them nuts. The speech was really, really good. I don't know what universe the media is living in where they thought the speech was. The speech was fantastic. Fantastic. Mid-length, okay. Maybe it was a little long for a speech, but there wasn't a 10-minute period of that where people weren't completely into it. I'm really sorry. I don't know what you saw. But there was more last night. And these are some of the speeches that led up to President Trump's very well done speech at the end of the night. This one, ladies and gentlemen, it was not a dry eye in the house for this one. There was a little bit of an awkward moment during the production, if you were there, where someone had told the first family to come out in the
Starting point is 00:24:22 middle. It was weird. I felt bad for them because I don't think they knew what was playing. But when they came out, if you watch the event on C-SPAN, you'll notice there's an awkward moment where the kids come out. They're introduced. Welcome, the first family in the United States. And the applause is muted. It wasn't muted because of them. It was muted because I think everybody was so emotionally enwrapped in this video of Kayla Mueller, who was taken hostage in Syria, raped, tortured and killed. Her family was given their speech.
Starting point is 00:24:50 And it was just it was the only odd moment of the night where. You'll see what I mean, because this was what we were all watching when it came out, and it was just heart wrenching. All Kayla wanted was to make it home. We are still working to find her, and God willing, we will bring her home. Kayla was born a miracle. We were told we would never have a second child, but God gave us Kayla, and she gave herself to the world. Eight months into Kayla's captivity, another hostage was able to smuggle out a letter Kayla had written. As we read it, we could see that God was holding her in his arms.
Starting point is 00:25:31 In her words, she felt tenderly cradled in free fall. She also wrote, I have been shown in darkness light and have learned that even in prison one can be free. I am grateful. I have had many hours to think how only in your absence have I finally at 25 years old come to realize your place in my life. None of us could have known it would be this long, but know I am also fighting for my side in the ways I am able,
Starting point is 00:26:03 and I have a lot of fight left inside of me. I am not breaking down, and I will not give in, no matter how long it takes. That was tough to watch. Utter silence in the crowd. So now you understand, in case it's reported disingenuously by the media,
Starting point is 00:26:22 when Don Jr. and the family came out, they came out in the middle of that. That's why the applause was muted. It had nothing to do with the first family. Again, things, if you're not there and you don't see it, you'll probably have some media to go, oh my gosh, Don Jr. and Eric and Tiffany
Starting point is 00:26:38 and the family walked out and nobody even clapped for them. That's not what happened. People were watching that on the screen, the Mueller family, and just there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Let me go to one final cut, and I've got a lot more news today too. Jacob Blake, the story of Jacob Blake in Minnesota, that story's gotten very, very interesting.
Starting point is 00:27:06 As more details are starting to come out on that. The NBA story, so don't go anywhere. It's really going to be a loaded show. But this is my final clip of the day. There was so much last night, Alice Johnson and others. But I don't think anyone in the crowd, because I spoke to a lot of people last night, the cops, Border Patrol guys who were there, everyone, people came up and said hello.
Starting point is 00:27:27 I think it was unanimous that this was the most emotional, gut-wrenching, you're like, after I just watched that? Yeah, after last night, the most gut-wrenching moment. It was unanimous. This was Ann Dorn. Ann Dorn is the wife of slain former police officer, David Dorn.
Starting point is 00:27:46 David was killed in St. Louis protecting his friend's pawn shop during one of the riots responding to an alarm. He was killed, shot dead on the streets. This is just a small piece of what his wife had to say about David during last night. And trust me, it was on grass. And you could have heard a pin drop on the grass. There was not a sound in the crowd as this was playing. After I'd gone to bed, David received a call from Lee's Alarm Company.
Starting point is 00:28:18 The front door of the pawn shop had been breached. This time he didn't wake me up to tell me. He probably knew I would have tried to stop him or insist on going with him. As I slept, looters were ransacking the shop. They shot and killed David in cold blood and then live streamed his execution and his last moments on earth. David's grandson was watching the video on Facebook in real time, not realizing he was watching his own grandfather dying on the sidewalk.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Tough. Tough to listen to really tough to listen to but it really summed it up for a lot of the people there you have a choice coming up the rage mob the death, the destruction, the celebration of it, or order, liberty, freedom, optimism, law, civility. You have a big choice coming up. All right, our second sponsor today, which, you know, I always have problems with this ad because it always makes me hungry in my mouth water.

So, you know, it's Friday, so we got to stack in all the news of the week. We had missed during the prior shows, given that the RNC happened and it was loaded. We had a tragic hurricane this week. We've had more street riots. It's just been a loaded week.
Starting point is 00:31:14 But you may have missed this story, which is since changed since I was going to talk about it yesterday. so the NBA National Basketball Association you know the same NBA that thinks it's great to kneel for the flag to promote social justice but doesn't seem to give a damn about Chinese concentration camps
Starting point is 00:31:34 you know like death camps and stuff you know Uyghurs you haven't heard you missed that NBA you missed that story yeah yeah I don't know how Joe
Starting point is 00:31:41 how that keeps happening the NBA they don't know what's going on in China death camps concentration camps right over their heads. But yes, let's protest the shooting of Jacob Blake before the facts are even out. I'll get to that. Washington Times the other day, report Lakers and Clippers vote to boycott the NBA season.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Victor Morton. Of course, they've changed their mind a little bit since then, but I got to tell you, I don't know about you, Joe, I'm all for this boycott. Go ahead. Go right ahead. Go right. Now, I don't know what kind of a business or social justice, that decision that is.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Now, Joe, just for a second again, I know we're talking to liberals here. I know this is hard for them, but so if you and i wanted to make a difference with the show kind of our purpose the first time we started this we never thought it would turn into the show it did we just thought we were kind of doing some good stuff and for joe
Starting point is 00:32:33 was a weekend job when we first started we never thought it would become some kind of career option um yeah yeah you think one day it'd be a good idea just not a trick question if i say joe i think we really want to make a difference in the 2020 election. Let's boycott the show and not do it anymore. The model of success. Model of for leftists, of course it is. But for sane people like us, it's not. So listen, NBA,
Starting point is 00:32:56 if you want to boycott yourself, I even took a note on, this is great. Go right at it. Matter of fact, I'd like to double and triple down. What do you think of this suggestion? I think you should cancel the whole season. I think you should cancel every other season and cancel the league too. You'd really stick it to us then. 100%.
Starting point is 00:33:14 And while you're at it, by the way, it's the only way. It's you cancel the whole league. Cancel the teams, the leagues, everything. I have another suggestion. The NFL should join you. Boycott everything. Boycott it. Cancel the teams, the leagues, everything. I have another suggestion. The NFL should join you. Boycott everything. Boycott, cancel the league. Boycott the NFL.
Starting point is 00:33:30 This is great. But in the insane leftist universe where liberals live, I'm really sure this makes sense. Again, don't worry about China and the whole concentration camp thing and death camps and communism and that kind of stuff, forced abortions and that stuff. Don't worry about it. It's all about a shooting in Kenosha
Starting point is 00:33:50 you didn't know anything about. So go ahead, yes, and cancel the whole league. I am with you. Speaking of which. So new facts have emerged. In the use of force incident against Jacob Blake in Wisconsin. The shooting you've heard about that has led to multiple nights of rioting, death in the streets, you know that. You know, when people talk about law and order, they understand the law part. But as I said the other day, they often neglect the order part. What does order mean? They're not talking about order like paint by numbers. They're talking about order. Order is process. An orderly society has a process to handle grievances, to handle violations of the law,
Starting point is 00:34:37 to handle violations of your civil rights. We have that in the United States. Luckily, we have very good policing here, the best in the world in the United States. Luckily, we have very good policing here, the best in the world in the United States, but errors are tragically made. Sometimes criminality takes place. It's not an error. Sometimes it's outright criminal. We've had incidents with policing that have involved substantial criminality.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Unfortunately, I worked in the 75 precinct where they had a whole corruption ring they broke up before I got there. Thankfully, in the United States, policing is excellent. That's relatively rare. But we have a process. So when people say law and order, what they mean by order is they mean a process. So the process when someone like Jacob Blake is shot by police officers in an incident is to wait for the information to come out in a process, an investigative, deliberative, sane, rational process. Find out what the facts are. God forbid,
Starting point is 00:35:32 leftists, we don't want the facts out there. And then when we have a set of facts, subject it to another set of processes, a fact-finding process, then an administrative process within the police department. Here are our documented use of force rules. Were those rules followed? Again, order, process. If they weren't followed, then there will be sanctions, either a termination or some punishment from the administrative police entity. If it's more severe than an administrative violation and there's potential criminality potential criminality alleged criminality process then we will have investigators as they are looking into wisconsin to determine if the act was not just an administrative violation but
Starting point is 00:36:21 potentially a criminal one it's what's happening now. When you forfeit order and process and you become the NBA who doesn't really care at all about Uyghur death camps in China, forced abortions and sterilizations, that kind of stuff, they don't want to talk about that. They want to kneel for the American flag because of a shooting in Wisconsin. They don't even have any of the facts yet on. But maybe it's a good idea to take a step back and allow order and process to play out. Why do we do that? Because while the city of Wisconsin, Kenosha, Wisconsin,
Starting point is 00:36:58 the town was burning to the ground, in many cases, literally, new facts came out, which if you would have allowed the order part of process and the law and order axiom to follow through, you may not have embarrassed yourself by coming out and insisting again that the police officers involved were murderers
Starting point is 00:37:19 without any evidence to suggest that is in fact true. Well, what's come out. This is one of the scenarios where I use the daily mail because they have the longest headlines ever. But in this case, the headline tells the whole story. So be in the show notes, UK daily mail,
Starting point is 00:37:36 Wisconsin attorney general reveals, reveals police recovered a, wait a knife from the driver's side floor of Jacob Blake's car. And says one cop shot him seven times. They responded to a 911 call from Blake's girlfriend. Now, we're not going to make the mistake, leftist media hacks, racial instigators, and clueless NBA morons
Starting point is 00:37:58 who can't even effectively boycott themselves while they ignore Chinese death camps. We're not going to make that mistake and say, oh, nothing was done wrong here. Let's forget it. No, no, no. I don't know that. I do know I'm waiting to hear more facts on the case because the video is not clear, unlike
Starting point is 00:38:21 other cases where the video has been painfully clear. The video spoke for itself in many cases regardless of the background scenario the video told most of the story you needed the video doesn't tell this story the video we've seen of the shooting of jacob blake is taken from a distance and you can't see inside the car where it now appears according to the attorney general of wisconsin in the Daily Mail's subsequent reporting, that Jacob Blake may have been reaching for a knife or there may
Starting point is 00:38:50 have been a weapon there, a knife on the floorboard. I'll be on Jesse Waters' show discussing this weekend. Now again, let's do facts and process. So ladies and gentlemen, on the process side, which matters because I believe in law and order, not media hysteria like these lunatics who want to see the country burned to the ground.
Starting point is 00:39:10 When you're dealing with a use of force incident, every police officer has it tailored slightly differently to its police department's rules. But the general rule of use of force incidents using deadly force is this. And by the way, so we can establish bona fides here, because I know there's some moron, 19-year-old media matters lunatic watching this who's sitting in his mama's basement with a Snuggie who hasn't left his basement in seven years and probably hasn't shaved either.
Starting point is 00:39:36 I actually taught a lot of this stuff in the Secret Service Academy and was a police officer myself. And I went to the New York City Police Academy twice, once as a cadet, once as a recruit, just establishing bona fides there. I know I don't have the knowledge you do playing your video games in your mama's basement. I get that. But maybe, just maybe you'll allow us to talk.
Starting point is 00:39:58 We know a little bit, a little bit, just tiny. The only question when a deadly use of force is involved on the administrative side, in other words, did the police officer obey the use of force guidelines he was taught, is generally this. Does the police officer have a reasonable, articulable belief that a serious physical injury or death was about to be caused himself or others when he used deadly force? Can he reasonably state that he used deadly force
Starting point is 00:40:30 and articulate why? Reasonable and articulable for, again, the media matters type listening because I know they have to get dictionaries and thesauruses out to understand basic English. Can he reasonably articulate that he believed the subject was about to cause a serious physical injury or death to the officer or someone else? Now, if the story in the reporting by the Daily Mail turns out to be true,
Starting point is 00:40:59 that there was a knife on the floor, we will wait for the facts, unlike media lunatics. You have a number of things, ladies and gentlemen, that may indicate that this use of force, however tragic and they are, may have been administratively and legally justified. We will see. What are those additional facts? The subject had a criminal history. Oh, that doesn't matter. No, folks doesn't matter. No, folks, it does.
Starting point is 00:41:38 If you are reasonably, a reasonable person is trying to articulate why you may think a person might harm them during an interaction seriously or kill them. What they've done in the past, if you're aware of it, matters. Now, why would the police officers be aware of this? You think it's just possible when they got the 911 call, which they did, and they ran the name of the subject that they saw he had a criminal history? I'm just asking questions. You know, fact-finding stuff.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Don't dare call me a journalist. That's an insult. But we do facts here. That's why I don't want you to call me a journalist, because they don't actually do that stuff. You think that might be reasonable and articulable, that you thought he might hurt you because he had a history, a criminal history in the past?
Starting point is 00:42:23 Again, only if you're doing facts. You think the fact that there was a 911 call matters? a criminal history in the past? Again, only if you're doing facts. You think the fact that there was a 911 call matters? If you're a leftist, no, but if you're a sane person, of course that matters. The police officer in Wisconsin didn't just find Jacob Blake on the street. This wasn't a random car stop. They were responding to a request for help.
Starting point is 00:42:44 They wanted Blake out of their house, the people who called. You think that matters when you're reasonably trying to articulate why you think your life is in danger? Again, only if you're a sane person, not if you're a leftist or a journalist. You may say, well, that sounds like enough right there, at least to reasonably articulate why you think your life was in danger, maybe not the engagement with the firearm. Oh, there's more. You now have a noncompliant subject who will not follow any commands,
Starting point is 00:43:20 who they've already tased, and that hadn't worked. So they've used the proper escalation of force too. Verbal commands, hands-on, taser, God forbid, deadly force, if warranted. They didn't jump to the firearm. This isn't tombstone. Nobody pulled some kind of like, you know, okay corral shooting incident on them.
Starting point is 00:43:43 They clearly escalated. You have a noncompliant subject doesn't respond to verbal commands, doesn't respond to physical grabbing and restraining, doesn't respond to a taser, and then keeps walking towards a vehicle
Starting point is 00:43:58 where it's alleged there's a knife on the floor. But again, NBA guys, with all of your expertise, by the way, in use of force, and believe me, I say that in the most sarcastic way possible. With all of your expertise, yeah. Tell us again how you should boycott yourselves in the whole season while ignoring the death camps in China.
Starting point is 00:44:18 Go ahead, boycott your whole league. Nobody cares. I haven't watched a game since the Knicks lost to the San Antonio Spurs. You may care. Great. I'm not telling you what to watch or not watch. I don't care one bit. Boycott the league forever. Don't care. I got a better idea. When you're all out of jobs because you're so dopey, you can't even figure out how to boycott yourselves. Why don't you go become a cop, serve the public, and go through use of force training? Go through a fat simulator, a simunition exercise in a Hogan's Alley. Why don't you try that?
Starting point is 00:44:48 Get back to us later about how you know so much about the use of force. Of course you won't. You'll humiliate yourselves and embarrass yourselves because that's what you'll do. Now, of course, all this is egged on by media morons, which we pointed out yesterday. And I said to you yesterday I would find the clip of the disturbed Chris Cuomo from CNN, you know, tricep extensions guy. How the media yesterday, Don Lemon from CNN is finally starting to figure out that maybe they should stop talking up riots in the street and protecting them.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Because why? Because if you saw yesterday's show and I encourage you to watch it, Don Lemon said, well, the polls are turning. So Joe, let's not worry about riot in the streets because people are getting hurt and their lives are being torn apart while their cities are burning. The polls are turning.
Starting point is 00:45:33 That's Don Lemon's reasoning. But that's not exactly what the confused Chris Cuomo from the same network said a little while ago. When Chris was confused about why we should be peaceful when we assemble and protest in the street this is a real quote by the way it's not manipulative really short but check this out and please show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful okay want to show them remember ramen noodles eating guy that was hilarious that clip yeah um it's right here if you'd like to check this out um it's called the bill bill of rights
Starting point is 00:46:14 amendment one or as chris cuomo would probably say amendment i um let me just read that for him congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or the right of the people peaceably. Joe, am I reading that right? Peaceably to assemble? Yeah. Yeah. Petition the government for redress of grievances. Oh.
Starting point is 00:46:45 Yeah. Petition the government for a redress of grievances. Oh. Yeah. Okay. Paul, can you cue Cuomo up again? Is that possible? Will I totally shut down your live stream computer if I do that? I'm going to get into something like crazy. You're not watching the YouTube. You're missing.
Starting point is 00:46:55 My eyes turn red when I start crying because I'm laughing at my own jokes, which you should never, ever do. But again, Cuomo's confused why you shouldn't be allowed to like what riot in the street i'm curious as to what he's saying play that sucker again if you don't mind and please show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful can we just put up one more time the constitution of the united states which clearly says that in the bill of rights just checking again joe or the right of the people peace of peaceably to assemble peaceably so okay let me read that again let's say the chris cuomo version appendix 62 or the right of the people to riot as
Starting point is 00:47:32 a some does it say that anywhere i'm just checking no is there a cnn version of the constitution that you're aware of armacost anywhere no no no no there. Thank you. Paula, are you aware of this? Paula is not aware of a CNN version and an appendix to the constitution either. Very good. Very good. I'm not aware of it either for the sane folks out there. Of course, Chris Cuomo is going to run away from all of that. Do some tricep extensions or whatever.
Starting point is 00:48:03 He needs that shake weight. Remember the shake weight? Oh, yeah, yeah. Those commercials were a little weird. Yes. Remember those? Oh, yeah. Yeah, the shake weight.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Everybody's like, exactly. For those of you who saw it, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Google those commercials, you get a kick out of it. All right, let me get to my last sponsor, and I'm going to get to some other news I missed,
Starting point is 00:48:23 including Nancy Pelosi just dropping a tactical nuke yesterday. Trial balloon, trial balloon. I'm going to want to miss this one. Our final sponsor today, Patriot Mobile.

Starting point is 00:49:40 All right. So we do have a lot of stuff. Also a lot of material that I want to pile in on this Friday show, as is always the case. So there was a new study out about the coronavirus. We haven't touched that in a little while. Of course, that's a story that's going to be with us, sadly, for a long time. But if you're not following on social media, the great Phil Kirpin with a K, K-E-R-P-E-N, you're making a huge mistake. media, the great Phil Kirpin with a K, K-E-R-P-E-N, you're making a huge mistake.
Starting point is 00:50:13 His account is just a bevy of high quality information designed to give you accurate data on the lethality, dangerousness, and where we stand with the coronavirus. Unlike media reports, you know, journalism, dreaded air quotes, that's designed to redline you with panic all the time, scare you, and to politicize the event as often as possible. Phil has actual information, you know, like studies and stuff, studies and things like that. Facts, data, I know that's tough for the left, but so I found this on Phil's Twitter account here. An interesting study that just came out. Assessing the age specificity of infection fatality rates for covid19 systematic review meta-analysis and public policy implications a meta-analysis is a
Starting point is 00:50:52 study of other studies a meta now it analyzes other studies and puts them together in a meta-analysis that's what it is a meta-analysis can be very good very robust because you're reviewing other people's work comparing it to other people's work, comparing it to other people's work. And of course, the larger the sample size in these data over multiple studies, the more vibrant and strong the data and its findings are going to be. You always want to look at a good quality meta-analysis. Well, now we have one.
Starting point is 00:51:21 And you'd say, gosh, from everything we've heard from the media about the coronavirus and the decision, we got to lock it down, Joe. Lock it down or you're all going to die. You would think now that we have high quality data on the lethality of it, that we'd be able to make risk reward decisions that we make every day in life. I haven't said it in a while, but I'll say it again for you new listeners and we get new ones every week. Sorry, Paul, I don't mean to move around too much, but squirming a bit today. Everything in life is risk reward. There are no good decisions with coronavirus. There are bad decisions with coronavirus
Starting point is 00:51:57 and there are worse decisions. The only good decision is, how do we wipe it out tomorrow? We can't. So that's off the table. The question is, how do we deal with it tomorrow? We can't. So that's off the table. The question is, how do we deal with it where we have to do things we won't like? And then how do we deal with it in a really, really bad way that we're going to do more things we don't like that cause us more problems than if we just would have done the things we didn't like that were less bad than
Starting point is 00:52:20 the bad things. In other words, you have bad decisions and worse decisions. Clearly now, the decision to shut down the economy in our schools was dreadfully bad. We did that. And I even give some early acting, both Democrat and Republican politicians, a benefit of the doubt early because we didn't have data.
Starting point is 00:52:41 There were stories out there, it's coronavirus, you know, if you're under 55, you could be dead tomorrow. Well, you could be, but the question is, how likely is that? You could be dead from a lightning strike, but we don't shut down the state of Florida, which is the lightning strike capital of the world, and there's a rainstorm. Why don't we do that? We don't do that because the risk is low, and if you shut down the state every time there was a lightning storm, everybody would be starving to death. So you must be wondering, if we have all this data now, why do we continue, Democrats and
Starting point is 00:53:08 others, to lock down schools, lock down everything, keep everything shut down? Here's the big takeaway from this study that should really ring your bell. I'll translate this chart for you. It's really easy. It compares the fatality rate among certain age groups from the coronavirus to the same fatality rate from automobile accidents and other accidents in general. In other words, it asks the question, what are your chances of dying from the coronavirus as compared to your chances of dying in an automobile accident or any accident in general? Well, you would think, Joe, if we lock down the economy, we don't lock down the economy to prevent automobile accidents, right? So you think to yourself, well, if it's roughly the same,
Starting point is 00:53:50 then why are we locking down the economy for coronavirus? Exactly. Here's an interesting data point. If you're 45 or younger, the chances of you dying in an automobile accident are less. They're about half than the chance of you dying from coronavirus. But the chances of you dying from an accident in general are far less. Look at this.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Look at these numbers. If you're 0 to 34, you have the exact same chance of dying from coronavirus as you do of dying in an automobile accident. Folks, these numbers are so small. The point of this chart, if you look at it, please go to my YouTube and check it out. These numbers are so small that you're talking about comparable risks in or around a little bit higher or a little bit lower if you're 45 or younger between dying from a coronavirus, dying in an automobile accident, and dying from an accident in general, which would ask and beg the obvious question,
Starting point is 00:54:56 if the data is showing the risks are roughly similar, a little bit higher, a little bit lower, depending on the age group, coronavirus, automobile accident, or accident in general, why did we take such a non-commensurate, outrageous response even now, such as shutting down the entire economy and kicking our kids out of school? I'm just asking based on the data that are roughly similar. If you don't prevent 16-year-olds from driving who have a risk of, sadly, a car accident, injury, or death, and that risk is substantial in some case, depending on how risky. If you don't do that, we don't shut that down. Why are we shutting down the economy for a comparable risk of death from coronavirus? Why? I'm just asking. Oh, Dan, they're different things. The risk calculations aren't different. The risk of you dying from coronavirus in a age group 45 or younger is very, very, very small.
Starting point is 00:55:47 We're talking about 0.0 rates of death and fatality. The answer is because the left has to politicize everything. They want schools shut down for teachers unions so they can leverage the school shutdowns to get what they want. So they can leverage the school shutdowns to get what they want. We have economies being shut down just to damage the general citizenry, hoping that it hurts President Trump at the polls. It's the only explanation, folks. It's obvious.
Starting point is 00:56:16 All right. One more quick story here. This is an important one. So ladies and gentlemen, you can always count on Nancy Pelosi to float trial balloons. What are trial balloons in politics? You know what they are. It's when they put out someone known for being a radical who's from a radical district, i.e. Nancy Pelosi. You put a political leader out there. I mean, I use that term leader loosely in the Freudian slip, uselessly, loosely in the case of Nancy Pelosi. But Pelosi's relatively safe. She's from a San Francisco district. It's probably a D plus 20 Cook PVI district partisan value index, meaning she's never going to lose as long as she runs. Because there's no political consequence to Nancy Pelosi
Starting point is 00:56:56 for saying ridiculous things, she's also the Speaker of the House, I might add, obviously. They have people like Pelosi go out there and do what we call political trial balloons, where they float really ridiculous ideas, knowing there's no political penalty for them. Keeping the people who would have a political penalty, swing state Democrats and others, try to follow me, keeping them safe. And they float the trial balloon with these dumb ideas to gauge media response. And if they're not roundly laughed at and humiliated, which most of the time she is, Pelosi, they'll go with it. It's kind of like they poke you a little bit, see when you respond. They poke, poke, poke.
Starting point is 00:57:39 If the bear eats you, you don't poke anymore. But if you keep poking a bear and the bear's hibernating and doesn't wake up, you just keep on poking him. Poke some more, poke some more, and don't poke anymore. But if you keep poking a bear and the bear's hibernating, doesn't wake up, you just keep on poking him. Poke some more, poke some more and steal his food next. So they put Pelosi out there to float this gem of a trial balloon yesterday. And I'm actually, I'm a little surprised because this idea is so ridiculous and Joe Biden is now collapsing in the polls that you would think their hide him in the basement strategy you would think even a radical like Pelosi would figure out this isn't working anymore we tried it with Hillary remember she couldn't find Wisconsin Hillary Hillary Clinton who didn't even campaign in a lot of swing states the hide him strategy worked so well in 2016.
Starting point is 00:58:27 You would think they'd figure out, given Biden's polls are collapsing. Watch yesterday's show. If you doubt what I'm talking about, polls are collapsing for Biden. They'd figure out this isn't working. But Joe Biden is such an awful candidate. Pelosi's floating this idea. I myself, just don't tell anybody I told you this, especially don't tell Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:58:47 I don't think that there should be any debates. I do not think that the president of the United States has comported himself in a way that anybody should, and has any association with truth, evidence, data, and facts. Listen to me. This woman is not stupid, Nancy Pelosi and facts. Listen to me. This woman is not stupid, Nancy Pelosi. Don't make that mistake. She's not the brilliant tactician people give her credit for.
Starting point is 00:59:14 She's actually kind of a dunce political strategy-wise, but she's not dumb. Sometimes she just puts too much faith in the media covering for her. She did something very smart there. I don't know if you all caught it. Did you catch it? So she suggests that Joe Biden shouldn't debate. But why is she doing it? Folks, it's obvious why she's doing that.
Starting point is 00:59:35 She's doing it because Joe Biden is going to get absolutely destroyed in a debate with Donald Trump. The guy doesn't even know where he is, folks. I'm sorry. The cognitive decline is evident. He's going to get wrecked. And Pelosi and everyone else are panicking. I told you I have a source.
Starting point is 00:59:51 Do I need to say this again? Some of you missed it. It's not who you think it is. But I have good sources who are telling me Joe Biden's cognitive collapse is getting worse by the day. I'm not kidding. That they're genuinely worried each day what's going getting worse by the day. I'm not kidding. That they're genuinely worried each day what's going to happen the next day. You can take that to the bank, and it's not just one person either. Pelosi knows this too.
Starting point is 01:00:18 By the time the debates come around in just a few weeks, they're not even sure where Joe Biden's going to be upstairs. Yet they're so terrified, even though their polls are collapsing, that they know their only option is to take their chances with the 2016 hide in the basement strategy. So what do they do? They send her out there, the Biden team. No, no, Dan. She said, don't tell Joe I said this. Joe, of course she said, that's her. That's her dipsy do flip a room. You know, the three card Monty guy in Times Square from 1980s, the shell game.
Starting point is 01:00:51 Follow the beam. Follow me. Remember that? Yeah, of course. This is Biden's team's idea. You think she just randomly threw that out there? Now she plays the dipsy do flip a room with the press. Well, of course, we'll protect her.
Starting point is 01:01:04 And says, don't tell Joe, I said. In other words, Joe really would, the Armacost Joe, Joe. Joe Biden really wants the debate. Don't tell him I said that. Oh, okay. Sure he does. Sure.
Starting point is 01:01:20 Folks, they're terrified. I'm going to leave that there because I want to, if I don't cover this federalist story, I'll make it quick. People get upset. I've been teasing it the whole week. But just trust me when I tell you
Starting point is 01:01:30 that idea came from the Biden campaign, not Pelosi. They had Pelosi do it because there's no political risk. And they said, do me a favor, insulate Biden and just say something weird like, shh, don't tell Joe I said this, even though I'm on national television.
Starting point is 01:01:46 All right, I've been talking about this story all week. I'll make it fast, but it's important. It's an entire chapter in my book, and it asks the question I find just incredible at this point, that nobody's addressed this other than Margot Cleveland at The Federalist, who's quoted extensively in my new book, Follow the Money. Be out October 6th. Why is nobody talking about Stephen Soma in this Spygate case? Seriously, outside of me and Margot Cleveland and the Spygate researchers, no one in the media has mentioned this guy's name
Starting point is 01:02:15 barely at all. Do a media search. You're only going to see the same names come up. Margot has a great piece. It's in the earlier show notes from earlier in the week. FBI lawyers guilty police suggest spy gate corruption goes way higher remember the fbi lawyer kevin clinesmith he pled guilty to altering a document about carter page carter page was a member of the trump team
Starting point is 01:02:35 when he left the trump team he was spied on he was spied on because he was a member of the trump team in order to spy on him they cited the FBI, his contacts with Russians. The problem was his contacts with Russians, Carter Page, were at the behest of the CIA, our CIA, meaning those contacts were not only not nefarious, but were in fulfilling a patriotic duty to help the country go get Russians who were spies. Kind of weird, right? Yeah. They spied on him for helping the CIA? Yeah, yeah, they did.
Starting point is 01:03:17 Well, didn't the CIA warn the FBI and say, hey, listen, you guys are spying on this guy using a FISA warrant for dealing with Russians, but he was doing it at our behest. Oh yeah, they did. They sent the FBI an email and a memo August 17th of 2016. They also followed up a year later in 2017 in the summer as they were authorizing stunningly a fourth FISA warrant to spy on Carter Page for talking with Russians. The CIA asked him to talk to Russians about spy stuff so they could go get the Russians. CIA followed up again and said, yes, this guy was providing us information. So this guy, Stephen Soma, who was involved with the preparation of a lot of these warrants, how much did him and Klein Smith,
Starting point is 01:04:11 the FBI lawyer who doctored the communication from the CIA to say that Carter page was not a source kind of means something different than Carter page was a source, right? Was the source. Let me throw not in there. A little weird, right?
Starting point is 01:04:25 FBI lawyer wants to make it seem Carter Page is dealing with Russians because he's this nefarious collusion actor. So the CIA says, wait, wait, he's dealing with Russians because we asked him to. And then the FBI guy changes the email and says, no, no, he wasn't a source for us. Kind of weird, right? Really bad. I'll cover some Andy McCarthy stuff next week on this, which is great.
Starting point is 01:04:50 But this guy Soma, who was involved with the preparation of a lot of these warrants and was Stefan Halper, one of the other spies' handlers, his name stays out of it. Here's his first screenshot from the piece. How is this guy Soma's name not in the news?
Starting point is 01:05:02 So while Clinesmith, the FBI lawyer, bears responsibility for altering the email concerning Page, thereby clearing the way for the fourth FISA warrant, someone, or so many of them, are responsible for failing to inform the individuals drafting and approving the initial FISA applications and first two renewals about the detail of the August 17, 2016 CIA memo.
Starting point is 01:05:25 That fault lies with, quote, certain members of the Crossfire Hurricane team who received the August 17, 2016 memo. Joe, I will translate for you. I know you're thinking, what does that mean? Yeah. So on August 17th of 2016, when the CIA first sends a memo to the FBI saying, hey, you may not want to target this guy Carter Page for dealing with Russians because we're asking him to do it on behalf of the United States. Other people in August of 2016, other quote, members of the Crossfire Hurricane team, people investigating Page and the Trump campaign, saw that memo. They did.
Starting point is 01:06:14 And they continued to investigate Carter Page anyway, even though the CIA had kind of waved them off. Who are those other members of the crossfire hurricane team? Did Jim Comey see that memo? Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh,
Starting point is 01:06:30 did you, the director of the, if did he see a memo in August of 2016 saying, Hey guys, your FBI investigation into Carter pages BS. He's talking about Russians. Cause we asked him to did Comey see that? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:06:42 I'm just asking. What about Soma? Soma who was involved in preparing these warrants. Let's go to screenshot number two, because this is really fascinating. But it was not merely that no one shared that information, the fact that Page was working with the CIA, with the National Security Division.
Starting point is 01:06:59 The Inspector General report expressly stated that, quote, in late September, 2016, an attorney with the Office of Intelligence, the FBI, who was assisting on the FISA application. This is Clinesmith explicitly asked Case Agent one about Page's prior relationship with this other agency. And that Case Agent one did not accurately describe the nature and extent of the information the FBI received from the other agency. Wow. Who's that case agent one there who was swearing out warrants and all and writing all that information in warrants? Who was that? Was it this guy Soma some what did Soma have to do with this warrant process given that he's nailed a few times in the EIG report as a guy responsible for a lot of the misrepresentation
Starting point is 01:07:55 folks are going to be a lot more to come out on this case a lot more all right thanks for tuning in it was a bit of a long show today we really appreciate it it's been a long night for us but we're feeling good it was a great night last night as many of you can imagine i really appreciate it please subscribe to my youtube show youtube.com slash bongino and our podcast on apple podcasts and elsewhere hope you have a really great weekend and i will see you all on monday good day sir you just heard dan bongino
