The Dan Bongino Show - China’s Communists vs. US Liberals, What’s the Difference? (Ep 1551)

Episode Date: June 28, 2021

Are there any differences between Chinese Communists and US liberals? Not really. In this episode, I discuss the similarities. I also address the stunning UFO report and I debunk another silly conspiracy theory about Ron DeSantis.  News Picks: Here’s the long awaited UFO report from the government. Former DNI Ratcliffe is troubled by the UFO report. Huge news in the ongoing war against big-tech, Donald Trump has joined Rumble. A stunning new revelation in the investigation of Julian Assange. The American left is using the same totalitarian tactics as the communist Chinese. And the Chinese communists are taking note. The backlash to Critical Race Theory is very real, and it could cost the Democrats big-time. The Biden DOJ is attacking election integrity in their lawsuit against the state of Georgia. But it’s likely to blow up in their faces. Our daily lives are being tracked and monitored by tech companies.  Copyright Bongino Inc All Rights Reserved. Learn more about your ad choices.

All right, Joe, let's go. All right, one big quick announcement. Thank you for everyone to everyone to watch my show

on filtered Saturday night on Fox. Another big week for us. We really appreciate it. And I have a big announcement tomorrow. Um, you're not going to want to miss about my continued fight against the tech industry and their cancel culture. I'm not giving up. I'm making a ton of investments. Some will work. Some won't. I'm a doer. I'm not a talker. I'm not giving up. I'm making a ton of investments. Some will work, some won't. I'm a doer. I'm not a talker. I'm not going to let you get canceled. I'm not going to do it.

I'm going to build an entire digital economy for myself and partners. I'm not going to let it happen. I'll tease the announcement today. Some of you with a wink and a nod may figure out what happened. So the warning signs are everywhere. Folks, Chinese communists,

fascist communist totalitarians versus U.S. liberals. What's the difference? You may say, wow, Dan, that sounds a little dramatic. Well, you might say that, but you'd be wrong because it's not dramatic. It's true. We'll produce the headlines right now. Before we produce the headlines, let me show you a clip. I had to prager you for this, putting together some clips from Fox and they have some more on it. I want you to check it out. This is a North Korean defector from a totalitarian, communist, fascist, murderous regime in North Korea. She wound up escaping from sex slavery in North Korea, makes it to the United States, and is genuinely stunned at what U.S. liberals do in the United States on college campuses. I'm not kidding. This is a North Korean defector on Hannity

explaining how U.S. liberals are not much different than the North Koreans she fled. Check this out. You get to America, you're expecting this to be the land of the free, the home of the brave and the land of freedom. And you get the exact same propaganda here. It's just heartbreaking.

I literally sold as a sexual slave and I literally crossed the Gobi Desert to be free. And now I thought I landed in a country where I can say what I believe and have my freedom to think. However, now I'm in a country, I have to constantly censoring my speech because now in the name of a safe place, Colombia was told, I mean, told us what we cannot talk about. And I am so concerned, like if America is not free, I think there's no place else is left that is free.

And I think that's why it's really alarming to me. Do we really need a North Korean defector to tell us this? And the answer is sadly, yes, we do. Makes a very simple, logical point. That America is the last best hope. And if American freedom, civil liberties, and the big R, God-given right to speech, to assemble, to practice your religion, goes away because of tyrannical fascist liberals and what they're doing now. Where are you going to go? The answer is there is nowhere to go after this. This is it. This is why the red line has to be drawn here. The fight is here right now. There's no giving up.

There's no quitting. There's no, hey, you know, I don't like what happened in this election or that election. We got to know. I'm really sorry. There's no giving up. There is no quitting because there is no other option. Quitting is not a strategy. It's not a strategy. We have to draw the red line here and save this place because there's nothing else to go. There is nowhere else

to go. There is no utopian refuge other than this. Even China, the murderous regime of China, who I have nothing but the most absolute disdain for on a scale of one to 100, on the disdain scale, I'm at a 99.9, only reserving a little bit for future disdain. China, I put them at the top of our global enemies list. Even they are warning us. Breitbart article, BMI newsletter this week. Read it, please. I have personal experience with this.

Article by John Hayward. China compares the Apple daily shutdown to big tech blocking Parler. This is amazing. We have communist, fascist, murderous thugs in the Chinese Communist Party warning us that, hey, we shut down Apple Daily for a little background. Apple Daily is a paper. It's an international paper. But there's a branch in Hong Kong.

They actually support things like freedom of the press, liberty and freedom. Well, the Chinese Communist Party hates liberty and freedom and therefore did everything they could and effectively shut down Apple Daily. And countries around the world complained, said, hey, what about freedom of the press? You can't do this. And China said, what are you talking about? You're doing the same thing in the United States where you shut down the most popular social media app

they had going at the time, Parler, who I was an investor in. Here, from the Breitbart piece. This is from Global Times. Global Times is a Chinese propaganda media outlet. Okay? So this is straight Chinese propaganda being reported in Breitbart. Here's what the Chinese government said.

They said, no Western country would allow the existence of such a hub, talking about Apple Daily, that manipulates public opinion to counter the constitutional system of a country. Any media outlet that has gained inciting power to oppose the mainstream will not be spared. Listen to this. This is Chinese communist propaganda. For example, the former U.S. president Donald Trump's Twitter account was permanently shut

down and his supporters gathered on the app Parler, which was banned for good. We have to point out that Trump's account Parler posed much less of a constitutional challenge than the U.S. than what Apple Daily posed to Hong Kong's constitutional system. It's unbelievable. The Chinese fascist murderous regime is warning the United States that, hey, you guys are doing exactly what we're doing. Don't lecture us. Folks, I've got to ask you the question.

Hold on. I know this may be controversial, but I'm going to ask it anyway. I hate the Chinese Communist Party. Hate's a strong word. Totally apropos here. But are they wrong? No, I mean, are they wrong? It's a serious, serious question. China's shutting down their political opposition and liberals in conjunction with big tech and government folks who incentive AOC and Roe Kahn and others who celebrated the takedown of Parler are doing the exact same thing. Those comparisons make you uncomfortable, liberals?

They should because you're phony fraud fakes and you have always been fascist, communist, socialist. You have always emulated the tactics of totalitarians. It only makes you uncomfortable because it's true. You may say, well, Dan, that's a compelling argument about Parler, but we just don't like Parler. So I don't really care. Yeah, we're fascists and totalitarians. But all right, that's all you got. fascists and totalitarians. But all right, that's all you got. You just said in the title of your show today, Chinese communist totalitarians versus U.S. liberals. What's the difference? Surely you have other examples. Surely I do. I always have other examples. And let's use logic and reason to make that case. Here's an article I saw this morning was uh trolling around the internet it was on a travel site travel site it's warning you about this is from 2021 june of 2021 josh summers he conveniently

this is a travel it's not a partisan site he gives you a list of websites and act and apps excuse me that are blocked by the chinese government for 2021es a whole bunch of apps and web domains, Gmail, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube. You can't get all that in China because Chinese communists hate civil liberties. They hate freedom. They hate the freedom of speech. So they block stuff. Now, Dan, that's not happening here with the imprimatur of U.S. liberals. Oh, sure it is. happening here with the imprimatur of U.S. liberals? Oh, sure it is. The same websites, some of them I just mentioned, are doing the same thing here to the political opposition of said websites, which are all run by liberals. They're doing the same thing. Care to run through the headlines? Whether you care or not, let's run through the headlines. The liberals don't want

to hear this because they don't want to admit they're totalitarian fascists. The evidence is everywhere. Here's headline number one, PJ Media, Tyler O'Neill. YouTube blocks videos exposing China's slow motion genocide in Xinjiang. So the Chinese Communist Party blocks YouTube videos of their murdering, torturous killing of Uyghurs in Xinjiang. And then YouTube does it for China right here with the salute of liberals. What's the difference? What's the difference?

Anyone? I'll wait. Anyone? Chinese communists block YouTube videos in Xinjiang. In China, YouTube blocks videos. China doesn't want up of the torture and imprisonment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang. What's the difference? Let's go to another one in case you think one example isn't enough.

Because one example could just be some anecdote. Maybe we got it wrong. Oh, here's another one. Media Post, again, a nonpartisan site. They just comment on the media. Mailchimp cancels conservative site Babylon Bee. Then the Babylon Bee canceled them by Ray Schultz. MailChimp canceled the Babylon Bee, which is a satire site

that usually pokes fun at liberal cancel culture because liberal cancel culture is tragic, but at times hilarious how hypocritical it is. So MailChimp, a rather grotesque site I wouldn't be caught dead using, got rid of them stat. I don't know if we ever used them. MailChimp, we may have used them once or twice in a campaign. I'm not sure.

We got rid of them stat. They decided to cancel the Babylon Bee. Now, in their defense, which I have to give both sides because I'm not a fake news journalist, MailChimp said it was a mistake and the Babylon Bee promptly responded, it's really weird how these mistakes only happen to conservatives and promptly canceled MailChimp. I would cancel them too. I can't tell you what to do, but I would never use MailChimp. Chinese Communist Party doesn't like satire either because as Saul Alinsky said in one of his rules, there are few things more damaging to an ideological cause than being poked fun at.

So the Babylon Bee is a danger to the fascist liberal regime we have in the United States. So their liberal acolytes, mail service companies, otherwise cancel them. Wow, Dan, that's it? No, that's not it. It was an article written in November of last year about me and legal insurrection. Then the deplatformers came for Dan Bongino. We got canceled by Outbrain.

If you use Outbrain, cancel them immediately. It's only my recommendation. Outbrain, it's an advertising service for websites. Canceled us because we're a conservative website. They did all kinds of BS and nonsense to try and claim it. If I was using outbrain, I would get away from them stat. Here's one more I'll throw at you before I get this video of Bill Maher.

Bill Maher, again, who is no friend to conservatism, but stunningly has been a rare example of a liberal who sees the danger of the U.S. U.S. liberals becoming Chinese communists every single day. Here's the hint and a nod for tomorrow's announcement. Payment processor Stripe cuts ties with the Trump campaign from the Hill. This was from January of this year. If you have a website that takes payments,

the overwhelming majority of companies out there use Stripe. I would get away from Stripe ASAP. Stripe will cancel you, it appears, in a heartbeat if you have any allegiance to the MAGA cause, Donald Trump, or if you become outspoken on any of these things. My announcement tomorrow, I'll provide you all a better option that doesn't subscribe to cancel culture. So your payment processor won't get canceled. I'm not going to take any of this lying down. Here's Bill Maher. Bill Maher, who is unbelievably has become, again,

no friend to the conservative cause, but who has become an incredible advocate for the value of freedom and liberty lately and the dangers of cancel culture. He's watching the U.S. left evolve into communist fascist thugs. And he's clearly disturbed by it. Here he talks about Facebook and Google and others

using Chinese propaganda to suppress information about the coronavirus and treatments. He sees the danger of it. Why don't you liberals who watch my show see the danger of it? Check this out. All right. Let me ask you about the media aspect of this, because I find this outrageous. Facebook banned any post for four months about COVID coming from a lab. Of course, now even the Biden administration is looking into this. Google, a Wall Street Journal reporter, asked the head of Google's health division, notice that they don't do autofill searches for coronavirus lab leak the way they do it for any other question. And the guy said, well, we want to make sure the search isn't leading people down pathways

that we would find to be not authoritative information. Well, you were wrong, Google and Facebook. We don't know. The reason why we want you is because we're checking on this. He said, we want to ensure the first thing users see is information from the CDC, the WHO. That's who I'm checking on. The WHO has been very corrupt about a lot of shit, and the CDC has been wrong about a lot of shit.

This is outrageous that I can't look this information up, and now they're doing it with this drug ivermectin. They threw Brett Weinstein off YouTube, or almost. He's one strike away. YouTube should not be telling me what I can see about ivermectin. Ivermectin isn't a registered Republican. It's a drug. I don't know if it works or not. And a lot of other doctors don't either.

Again, I asked the question I asked in the beginning of this show that Bill Maher's asking here, although in a different kind of iteration of it. What's the difference between fascist communists censoring information and what big tech is doing in conjunction with liberals now? What's the difference? What's the difference? There isn't.

Liberals will try to dance around. Oh, the difference are conservative and dangerous. Really? How? We were right on just about everything. You're dangerous. Spygate, the collusion hoax, the Russian bounties hoax,

hydroxychloroquine, the lab leak. We were right on everything. You were wrong on everything. You were dangerous. You. Yet we're not calling for the censoring of you because we're comfortable in a battle of ideas.

You idiots don't have any good ideas. We're comfortable you putting your stupid ideas up because they're so easily discredited as I'll do with the latest Ron DeSantis conspiracy theory next. Gosh, are you

guys stupid? You're tyrants. You're nothing but petty, tyrant, coward chumps. That's all you are. Chumps, chumps, every one of you on the liberal side, chumps, embarrassing, fascist chumps. All right, let me get to my second sponsor. And on the other side, I have big news in the fight back against this stuff, by the way. You may have seen it this weekend regarding Donald Trump, his rally, and the fight against ScrewTube and elsewhere.

Folks, let's talk for a second about embarrassing underarm sweating. It gets bad. You know that. You know those big gross sweat tacos that show up at the most inconvenient times, dates, weddings, interviews that kind of make you feel less confident and extremely uncomfortable? Not good.

If you don't want to have to deal with this, consider yourself lucky. But if you do have to deal with it, you know, if someone loves it, you love us to deal with uncontrollable sweat, you know those regular store-bought deodorants. They just don't do the trick.

Thanks for sponsoring the show. We appreciate it. So we are fighting back. I told you I have a big announcement tomorrow about my continued fight against tech tyranny. Again, folks, I put my money where my mouth is. Some are going to work out. Some aren't.

But I'm the guy in the arena. All these liberal chumps are on the outside poking fun. Oh, my God, Gino. Well, one of them has worked out quite well. That is my guy in the arena. All these liberal chumps are on the outside poking fun. Oh, my God, Bongino. Well, one of them has worked out quite well. That is my investment in Rumble. This weekend, story at Bongino.com. Again, you'll see in my newsletter today and my show notes,

Donald Trump joins YouTube competitor Rumble. I think he's up to, what, 250,000, if not more, subscribers already. Folks, Rumble, we practice free speech over there. Unlike YouTube, we don't ban people for political content. So Rumble is exploding, and you should join. My account is rumble.com slash Bongino. You can follow Don Jr. there. You can follow Steve Crowder there.

You can follow me there. Ben Shapiro has an account there. Almost all your Joe Pags, almost all your favorite conservatives have an account now over at Rumble. Please go check it out. Again, my account's rumble.com slash Bongino. And subscribe to Donald Trump's verified account now. Everybody's starting to see the light. You want to mess with us, YouTube?

Keep messing with us. We'll just create an entire parallel economy. Again, more on that tomorrow. So I made the case in the beginning here that China, Chinese communists versus U.S. liberals. What's the difference? Here's just a couple more for you. So, you know, China has a big surveillance state. Here's an article in The Atlantic that describes it.

China's surveillance state should scare everyone. The country is perfecting a vast network of digital espionage as a means of social control with implications for democracies everywhere. Folks, they have cameras. They watch you online. They watch you everywhere. Again, Chinese communists versus big tech liberals in the United States. What's the difference? Here's an article I saw this morning. This is how this whole show, you know, he's like narratives for shows. This is how the whole Chinese communist versus U.S. liberals narrative got in my head. Here's a story by the sun. Just changed China to big tech U.S. liberals. Headline U.S. sun. Big brother, how our daily lives are being tracked by phones, laptops, and even doorbells. You even know how your data is being collected. Check this screenshot out from the sun story, how you're being watched basically

all the time. This is what big tech does. Big tech big tech china what's the difference cars are able to log your locations you visit the speed the vehicle's driving the music played even the weight of the driver on the seat intimate medical data can even be donated by the nhs to commercial organizations without consent writing for the mail on sund, the author of this piece said, if you wear a smartwatch, it'll have recorded your every movement in bed, including, of course, any sexual activity. Share a picture or record your thoughts on Facebook or type a search into Google, and that information is tracked and stored. Listen, folks, some of this we do voluntarily. Some of this we don't. I wear one of these rings because I like to monitor my sleep behavior.

I realize I understand the downsides of that. It's the stuff we're not consenting to I'm talking about. Google, Facebook, and others accumulating data you're not consenting to. What's the difference? China does the same thing. What's the difference? China's not asking. They're not asking either.

Right, right. Guy brings up a good point. You want to opt out of this stuff. It's like, there's like 75 different menus to get to. Are you sure? Are you really sure? Call us and tell us you're sure. Email to tell us you're sure. Give us a credit card deposit to tell us you're sure. Are you really sure you want to do the credit card deposit? That's what it's like getting out of this stuff. That's a good point. It's impossible. sure you want to do the credit card deposit. That's what it's like getting out of this stuff. That's a good point. It's impossible. Try to get to your phone and turn off the tracking on everything. It's not easy. It's doable. It's not easy. Here's another one. Chinese communists versus U.S. liberals. New York Times headline. China pressures businesses over Hong Kong and workers get caught in the middle. Beijing wants global companies to back China's power over the city of Hong Kong,

even as their workers join protests calling for a greater say in the fate of their home. Okay, so China pressures its business to push its propaganda? That's not happening here. Epic Times, literally this morning I read this. Epic Times, China manipulating American businesses to serve Beijing's interest. House GOP investigation finds. What's the difference? It's the same headline.

It's the same headline. Swap out Hong Kong for America. What's the difference? Finally, let me wrap this up. Here's one more. Business Insider. You know, China has a social credit scoring system. They score all their citizens. You don't score, you jaywalk in the street,

you lose points on social credit, you can't get a bank loan. That's how this works. Here's a Business Insider piece. China's social credit system ranks their citizens and punishes them with throttled internet speeds and flight bans if the Communist Party deems them unworthy. Here's a screenshot from the piece, what exactly China's social credit monitoring system does. The Chinese Communist Party has been constructing a moral ranking system for years that will monitor the behavior of its enormous population, and it ranks them all based on their social credit. Oh my gosh, that's not happening here. Ha ha ha, yeah, right. Here you go, Vogue Business. This is in the United States, folks.

The rise in environmental, social, and governance ratings. What's your score? What's the score? The spectacular growth in interest from investors in environmental, social, and corporate governance shows no signs of slowing down, but making sense of it all, of all the benchmarks, is a tough call. Big corporate investors, in conjunction with liberals now,

are giving companies these same social credit scores. The same one. It's right there. Social. In the score. They're doing the same thing. You're not a big liberal company that donates to garbage and liberal environmental causes that do nothing for the environment. Your company gets no investment from us. You're down in the score thing. You're not a big liberal company that donates to garbage and liberal environmental causes that do nothing for the environment. Your company gets no investment from us. You're down on the score list. What's the difference? What's the difference? Anyone? Joe?

Do anyone sense a difference? No difference, Dan. Please. I'm open to hearing it. No difference. There's no difference. Scoring, surveillance, censorship, liberals support all of this, and so do communist killers in China. So why is this transformation happening? Well, it's happening, ladies and gentlemen,

because intellectuals in the United States, and I'm using that term in the Thomas Sowell way. I'll get to that in a second with this great video. It's happening because intellectuals in the United States, academics who pay no price for their stupid ideas because they've never had jobs in the real world and are some of the stupidest smart people the world has ever seen.

Intellectuals in conjunction with liberals and people like AOC, really, I call her the dumb bartender because I know a lot of bartenders and they're really smart. So you don't want to stigmatize bartenders because they're really bright. They listen to a lot of people's problems

and figure stuff out. They do. I'm not kidding. We own the bar. AOC's the dumb bartender. This is what happens when pseudo-intellectuals and the dumb bartender wind up taking over. You have a situation like this

where U.S. liberals do the exact same thing Chinese communists do because they pay no price for being wrong. Listen to the great, the legend, Thomas Sowell on this exact topic. Check this out. You can run through an impressive list of things, of disasters brought about by people with very high IQs. All right.

Segment one, the species of the intellectual. When you refer to intellectuals in intellectuals in society, whom do you mean? I mean people whose end products are ideas. are ideas. There are other people with great intelligence whose end products are things like the Salk vaccine. A research scientist is not necessarily

an intellectual. That's right. An engineer isn't necessarily an intellectual. That's right. Because the engineer is judged by the end product, which is not simply ideas. If he builds a building that collapses, it doesn't matter how brilliant his idea was.

He's ruined. Conversely, if an intellectual who's brilliant has an idea for rearranging society, and that ends in disaster, he pays no price at all. Brilliant. An intellectual, in contrast to a serious academic, is a person whose product is exclusively ideas that they pay no penalty or no price for talking about these ideas. None whatsoever. you know, it reminds me of a book I read by Nassim Taleb, who's in the middle of a huge Bitcoin fight with Bitcoin folks out there, by the way, but Nassim Taleb, he wrote the book, the black Swan,

but he wrote another book called skin in the game where he talks about was that Hammurabi's code. If you build a building and the building collapses, like you wind up getting, getting whacked yourself. You had skin. I'm not suggesting we should do that. Please. I'm just suggesting that that was an example of which skin in just suggesting that that was an example of skin in the game. I mean, like real literal skin in the game. Therefore, you were building that building to stay on no matter what, because if it went down, you die do.

Again, no one's suggesting that's a serious model of governance. But it is the extreme example of what happens when intellectuals like pseudo intellectuals like AOC and college professors who's never had a real who've never had a real job, spout off at the mouth about socialism and other things, and they pay absolutely no penalty for the price, the implementation of their ideas, and the destruction it causes. Cause. None. That's why they keep doing this stuff.

Because they believe the cancel culture will never affect them. They believe in socialism. Chinese communists believe in socialism. And they all move in the same direction because there's no price for them for being wrong. Disgusting. Thank you for that beginning, by the way. Guy put that together. The genius of Thomas Sowell.

If you heard that little sound in the beginning on audio, watch the show on Rumble. You can see rumble.com slash Bongino. Guy put that together. It's really nice. Because he is the king, on rumble. You can see rumble.com slash Bongino. He put that together. It's really nice. Cause he is the King Thomas. So we love Thomas. So, Hey,

let me get to my third sponsor here. I want to get to, before I get to debunking the latest Ron DeSantis conspiracy theory, it's been a really bad week for CNN. I usually don't do these kinds of just funny clips. So it'd be two quick ones. CNN, Jim Acosta,

both of them are getting absolutely wrecked this weekend. It's hilarious. Coming right up. Hey, summer season's upon us. Barbecues, beaches, and some fun, finally. But the fun, a lot of it's out in the sun, especially down here in Florida. You got to take care of your skin.

So, kind of a break from the rather macabre opening Where U.S. liberals and Chinese communists Share almost everything in common these days I know that pains me to say it It should pain you to hear it But it's true and the truth hurts In this case, badly It's been a really bad week for CNN.

So CNN shows up at the Trump rally, the MAGA rally out there in Ohio, and they went to interview a few people, and here's one of the first people they grab. And, you know, this guy wasn't really having it. Maybe putting it mildly. It's short. Don't miss it. Check this out. What's your name, sir? My name is Go F*** Yourself.

And are you from Ohio? No. Can you cue that up again? You may have missed it. Here's a CNN. CNN is hilarious. Thank you, Joe, for the edit. So CNN gets a boom mic, and they want to interview this guy at the Trump ad.

Listen closely, because you can hear the CNN reporter. He's off mic a bit bit trying to ask a question. He goes, what's your name, sir? Listen to the response. Play that again. My name is go f*** yourself. And are you from Ohio? No. That wasn't it.

That wasn't it with the really bad week for CNN. Here is this tier one level tool bag, Jim Acosta, one of the legendary losers in modern media. Top tenner easily. I don't think he's going to take out Joy Reid, Stelter, or Chuck Todd, but he gets close sometimes. Here's his zero, Jim Acosta.

He wants to interview, if you're watching on Rumble, you can see he's on a bike. This is Mo Brooks. I'm a congressman who takes zero crap from anyone. He's a Republican. And Acosta thinks he's going to humiliate him. And Brooks doesn't even interview with these idiots from CNN. Watch Mo Brooks actually shot Jim Acosta down.

This is great. Check this out. So you take the bike to work, huh? Sometimes. Congressman, is there any way we can get you to talk about January 6th? I do not do interviews with CNN because I do not trust CNN to be honorable or truthful. Well, can I ask you, do you still believe Antifa was behind January 6th? I've already said what I'm going to say. I don't trust you all to be truthful or honest.

Well, can you tell us if you regret what you said on January 6th? I do not trust CNN to be truthful or honest, so I do no interviews with CNN. Well, I'm just asking you questions. I'm asking you fair questions here, sir. Why can't you answer the question? I do not trust you all to be truthful or honest with anything CNN does. It's on video. If you can just talk to us for a moment.

Oh, you guys will lie through your teeth any chance you get. Well, give you the chance to come on if you don't mind. Guy said it right. You just love to see it if you don't mind. Guy said it right. You just love to see it. You just love to see it. Why is anybody talking to these idiots? Jim Acosta's not a serious person. Why are you wasting...

It's like talking to Bozo the Clown. Why would you do that? Imagine being a member of Congress and Bozo or Krusty from The Symptoms go, I've got questions. You'd just be like, sorry, we're not really doing interviews with clowns. So why do you interview with Acosta?

He's a clown. Mo Brooks handled that absolutely right. If you're not going to interview with Bozo, then don't interview with Jim Acosta. They're no different. They have the same amount of, Bozo has more credibility. Bozo's never been caught lying like Acosta has. Damn fools.

Good for him, Mo Brooks. Gets on his bikes like,osta has. Damn fools. Good for him. Mo Brooks gets on his bikes like, see you later, loser. All right, moving on. Listen, folks, they just can't stop. The fake news media can't stop with the fake news. Their new target du jour, of course, is Ron DeSantis. As Ron DeSantis' national profile, we're talking about the governor of Florida, of course, there are some liberals listening who are a little slow. As Ron DeSantis' national profile, we're talking about the governor of Florida, of course, there are some liberals listening who are a little slow. As Ron DeSantis' national profile has grown, as his record of success keeps building and his conservative bona fides keep growing, he's actually becoming target number one,

I would argue even more so than Trump these days. Everything Ron DeSantis does, the liberals create a new ridiculous conspiracy theory. They're so easily discredited, it's embarrassing and I hate to waste your time. But here's another one. It came out this weekend from another absolutely hapless joke clown of a report. Bozo the Clown Part Deux.

This is a Hannah Dreyer. Works for the Washington Post. I shouldn't have to say anymore. So you can assume what they're saying is probably BS. She tweets out this weekend about Ron DeSantis' response to that tragic building collapse in Surfside. This is her tweet. She says, there's a saying in emergency management, the first 24 hours are the only 24 hours. Okay. She goes on. She says,

FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was ready to deploy to the condo collapse almost immediately and included the crisis in its daily briefing, but didn't get permission from Governor DeSantis to get on the ground for a full day. Oh my, I read this, I'm like, one, it's from the Washington Post, so I automatically assumed it was garbage, but I'm like, okay, being

a good investigative person myself, don't call me a journalist, don't insult me. I said to myself, well, is there any truth to this? Did Ron desantis actually delay fema from responding to this surfside building collapse it took me all of i'm not kidding maybe two minutes to find out how ridiculous this story was but you should have known that it's hannah dryer from the washington post again it's the bozo the clown show so i saw this this tweet explained it the best it's hannah dryer from the washington post again it's the bozo the clown show so i saw this this tweet explained it the best it's a very simple one this is jeremy redfern he says time to

kill another conspiracy theory here's how this actually works emergency declarations come from the local government then to the state government then to the federal government well the local mayor didn't assign didn't sign an emergency order folks until 4 33 PM Eastern time. Ron DeSantis signed one less than an hour later at 5 32 PM. And if you're looking at the rumble account, you'll see the declaration is actually pictured there in the tweet for the fake news specialists on the left, the Washington post who couldn't have taken two minutes to actually figure this out. So her conspiracy theory that Ron DeSantis was somehow up, you know, getting in the way of becoming an obstacle to federal support at the Surfside building collapse is completely fabricated and made up as usual.

You need even more evidence that liberals are totally full of... Jim, listen, Jim on the radio, you let's get the buzzer ready today because there's going to be a few of those. Here's the Miami, the Miami-Dade mayor. What's her name? Daniela Cava. She's a Democrat on Chuck Todd's show, totally destroying this ridiculous conspiracy theory

and saying, no, federal and state government was there for us right from the start. But again, don't expect anything from The Washington Post. The lies traveled around the world. They did their job, which is nonstop Chinese Pravda, Soviet Pravda like propaganda. Check this out. Are you getting all the federal and state support you need? We are very grateful. Not only the state of Florida has been here in force, but the president on the morning of the disaster called to offer all possible assistance. And by the end of that day, we had FEMA approval. So we're working super hard to get everything we need. And we've not lacked for any support as well as support from around the

world. You know, you know again folks it just never stops i'm really sorry i'm again my you have my personal apologies for having to report this not because i'm reporting something i think is offending you because i i don't like to waste your time but the problem is your liberal friends are morons and if if Ron DeSantis' national profile continues to grow, they will keep bringing up thoroughly discredited conspiracy theories. Ron DeSantis hid COVID data in Florida. Whistleblower.

The whistleblower was a total fake. A total fake. The story has been thoroughly eviscerated. Remember the Publix? Ron DeSantis. Publix vaccines. Thoroughly eviscerated. Remember the public's, Ron DeSantis, public vaccine. It's a totally discredited story that Miami, excuse me, the Palm Beach County mayor has already discredited that story.

Now we have a new one. Ron DeSantis held up FEMA. Totally made up. Totally made up. These people are full of... Your liberal friends are idiots. I'm sorry I have to waste your time giving you the ammunition to debunk their constant stupidity.

It is. DDS. That's not a strange mental syndrome. You're right. It's actually worse than TDS. At least with Trump, they waited till he declared Ron DeSantis. How many has declared anything yet?

They were already inventing conspiracy theories. All right, moving on. So, um, last week we talked about, I'm going to get this UFO thing in a minute. Don't go anywhere.

I had John Ratcliffe on my show who we had booked earlier in the week before this came out on my show on Fox unfiltered. And man, did this turn out great for us? So I booked him on a different topic too, but he was great as always. I just want to play this video quick and it goes back to what we discussed and the theme of kind of the show today. A couple of weeks ago, we talked about this article in the wall street journal, how when you're learning to read communist propaganda, it was out of the old soviet union the current russia or china you have to learn to read the story upside down and the example they gave is when you see in a chinese communist party newspaper you know heroic chinese army saves eight miners you got to read

the story upside down the story's really a hundred miners died because a Chinese communist-run mine with poor safety collapsed and killed them. So when you read the story upside down, you'll get the real story. You have to learn to do that with American media too, like Acosta and Hannah Dreyer and others, because they're just liars. They just make stuff up.

So here's another one from the chief liar and upside-down news propagandist, Jen Psaki, at the White House. Here's the new stunner. This and I mean a stunner. They are now going to blame the defund the police movement. Cedric Raymond Richmond, excuse me, tried it this week and another show. But here's Jen Psaki, chief propagandist at the White House. They're going to now try to blame the defund the police movement, exclusively a liberal phenomenon on Republicans. You don't believe me. Listen,

check this out. I think the president believes that we shouldn't and we shouldn't allow access to guns to those criminals who are currently illegally filing them from some dealers across the country. And part of his announcement is taking steps to do exactly that. But part of his announcement is also ensuring their specific guidance to communities across the country to ensure that they have funding to get more community police around the country. Something that was supported by the American Jobs Plan that was supported that was voted into law by Democrats just a couple of months ago. Some might say that the other party was for defunding the police. I'll let others say that, but that's a piece.

Oh, my gosh. They really think you're stupid. Folks, this is the same argument they use with planned parenthood it's the fungible money argument in other words the law this is i don't even say the logic because it's not logic the illogic they're using to get you to believe that republicans are trying to defund the police is they wanted to give a bunch of slush fund money from the federal government to states for COVID really money that no one, I mean, some of it's never even been used because Republicans were like, Hey, listen, we don't need all that money.

The debt's out of control. Stand fast. The Democrats are saying, well, that money could have been used and therefore other money could have been used that would have been used for that to defund policing. So you're technically defunding the police. It's the equivalent of saying, the fungible money argument, that because Florida stopped taking the $300 unemployment supplement because it was encouraging people not to work, that that's defunding the police.

Because if Florida would have taken the federal money, they would have had to pay less out of their state budget for unemployment funds. Therefore, they could have, in some circumstances, used that money for the police. But they couldn't have because Democrat liberal cities don't want the money for the police. They want to defund them.

If you're having a tough time following this, you should because it's illogic. But it's the fungible money argument they use for everything. Planned Parenthood, we don't fund abortions. We fund birth control measures. Folks, the money, once it gets a Planned Parenthood, nobody's watching it.

It's a ridiculous argument. It requires you to be stupid to buy it. All right, moving on because I don't want to focus on too much stupidity today. My goal here is not to make you dumber. It's to help you. Let me get to my next sponsor in this UFO story, which is just amazing. Some of the two key number one stunners in here. Number one stunner. Those of you who grew up in Queens in the day, you know what I'm talking about. I was back in, I was in my car. I got a new car. I got rid of the Raptor.

My friend took it. So I had to get a new car. So I was programming in. And as I programmed, I hit the, the, the music thing from my phone and some old stuff came up. And you remember,

I was a Queens kid. So you remember mob deep, remember mob deep from Queens shook ones. Seriously. Was there a better rap album in the day? Was there? Shook Ones, was there a better one? I don't think so. It queued. I hadn't heard it in years and it just clicked on my car because I had the Bluetooth connected. Just throwing that out there back in the day. Things were a little different back then.

We're all trying to be fake tough guys back then. No good. Don't be fake tough guys. Real tough guys don't have to fake being tough guys. All right. Our favorite sponsor up to now, well, actually, I should say Joe Armacost's favorite. I love him too, but Joe absolutely loves Rock Auto. Joe's kind of a handy guy. I'm not.

I go to buy parts for Rock Auto and I give them to my friend to put on. I don't do it, but Joe does it himself because he's a handy guy. Listen, one reason it's true. Repair and maintain your car is to save money. You can then use that money for other things like mortgage or food. Don't spend 30, 50, or 100% more for the exact same auto parts at a chain store or new car dealership. It's a total waste of time.

Here's an example. Here's an example. A Delphi FGI 1456 fuel pump assembly for a 2005-2010 Honda Odyssey is $353.99 at a big chain store. You know what you get it for at rockauto.com? $216.79. Rockauto.com is a family business. They've been serving auto parts customers online for 20 years. Go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.

rockauto.com rockauto.com So the UAP unidentified aerial phenomenon, what we'll call the UFO report, came out on Friday. Luckily, we had booked former director of national intelligence, John Ratcliffe, under the Trump administration, a guy who has been extremely vocal about the dangers of these UFOs. We booked him on the show. We booked him on a different topic. And the UFO report came out.

And, you know, sometimes I hate to ask them. He's quick. Cause they get bombarded with questions about UFOs. I asked president Trump that same question when we interviewed on my radio show. And president Trump said to, they said of all the questions he's asked the UFO question, he's asked the most that,

which doesn't surprise me. People want to know, are they real or not? The report came out on Friday in my newsletter. It's the first thing. Bongino.com slash newsletter. Subscribe to my newsletter. It's the first thing, bongino.com slash newsletter. Subscribe to my newsletter. It's the first article in the show notes right there.

The link to this. It's not long. I think it's nine pages. Here are two really shocking, and believe me, I don't think I'm overselling it, takeaways. There's a lot of good takeaways, but in the interest of time, here are the two I found. How did you know that's what I was looking at, Guy? You highlighted that. Guy made the highlight. Did I tell you that? Now, you know, you listen to my, you watch my unfiltered show, so you knew this. He does. He's like in my head now. I didn't even tell him to highlight this. Here's from the report. Most of the UAPs, unidentified aerial phenomenon, reported

probably do represent physical objects, giving that a majority of them were registered across multiple sensors to include radar, infrared, electro-optical, weapon seekers, and visual observation. Folks, I told you so. Self-praise things. Forget I told you, but I did. I told you a few weeks ago when John Ratcliffe was on Maria Bartiromo and he did that appearance, we played four or five times. I have it on my radio show. We use it all the time. And he talked about multiple sensors.

I said to you, having been in the security field myself, that that was the key. We have a security arrangement at the White House and elsewhere. I'm not going to give up the details, obviously. But sensors get tripped all the time. Sensors designed to sense different things. You get it. Movement, heat, whatever that is. A lot of things can trip a movement sensor.

Wildlife, blowing leaves. But they're not going to trip four or five sensors at the same time. If it's a blowing leaf, it's not going to trip a thermal sensor. Because the leaf is the air temperature, roughly. You get my point? So when I heard that from John Ratcliffe, him saying on Maria Bartiromo's show well over a month ago, hey, these things tripped multiple sensors,

that in my head went ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. These are real objects. The report now says it. They believe these are actual physical objects. Are they from another galaxy? I'm not saying that. Are they technology from a foreign government

we don't have? Maybe. But they're real. I'm actually stunned this is not all over the news today. U.S. government report finds UAP slash whatever, UFOs, are real physical objects. It's in the report.

You can read it. I provided the link. How is this not a bigger story? It's not a conspiracy theory. They're real. Here's the second stunner. Number one stunner. That's how I get into that mob.

Back in the day. Hilarious. Oh, I got to have some of my childhood friends on the show. Tell you about what I was like back in the day. You'd be stunned. That would be the number one stunner. So there's an other bin,

other bin. The hell's the other bid? From the report. It says there are probably multiple types of UAPs requiring different explanations based on the different appearances and behaviors they found. It says their analysis supports the construct that if and when individual UAP incidents are resolved, they'll fall into one of five potential explanations, okay? This is what they're saying, these UFOs could be. Airborne clutter clutter number one natural atmospheric phenomenon u.s government or industry developmental programs meaning some

technology they're working on foreign adversary systems that would be scary and the catch-all other bin there's another bin ladies and gentlemen what's in that other bin alien technology what else could it be they said we don't foreign in other words the other bin is not foreign technology that's its own category other is the other category what the hell's in the other bin? Here was John Ratcliffe on my show, where he's pretty clear that these things are real. Are they from another solar system? We don't know that. But that they're real, and this could be a genuine national security threat.

John Ratcliffe from Unfiltered with Dan Bongino. Oh, that's me. Check this out. Look, the bottom line is with unidentified aerial phenomenon, you know, many, many cases, Dan, were able to explain it away for reasons like visual disturbances or weather phenomenon or foreign adversaries and their technologies or even our own experimental technologies with certain aircraft and vehicles. But what this report really underscores, Dan, is that

there are a number of instances, and the specific number remains classified, but a number of instances where we've ruled all of that out. And there are technologies that we don't have, and frankly, that we're not capable of defending against based on those things that we've seen, multiple sensors. In other words, where not just people visually see it, but where it's picked up on radar, where it's seen on satellites. And so, you know, it's an issue of national security. And as the person who was informing policymakers about national security threats, it's not good to say, gosh, we don't have good answers. And so we have to have a larger discussion to try and figure out specifically, you know, what this is all about. So I'm glad that that information is out. Folks, I'm very sorry. I know 50 percent of you believe

that this is some kind of a distraction by the Biden administration and the left, this UFO report. I I respect and value your opinion. The show is for you. But I owe you my opinion, too. I'm not going to sit here and lie to you. I think that's, I don't know. I don't accept that explanation at all. For two reasons. This is Trump's former director of national, director of national intelligence, John Ratcliffe.

That was him. He's not a Biden guy at all. Why would he be out there saying this is a serious national security threat? Why would he make that up? To help Biden distract us? That doesn't even make sense. And secondly, if the Biden administration was looking to distract you with this report,

which they're probably looking to distract you from what they're doing, but not with this report, why would they release it on a Friday at 5 o'clock? The news vacuum hole. Why? Does that make any sense to you? You release it on a Tuesday or a Thursday at 8 in the morning so it winds up in the booker bin in cable news.

I'm in cable news. I know how it works. Why would you release it on a Friday when everybody went home? Because Monday when they show up, it's email number 6,000 and a list of crap they got over the weekend. What would be the worst distraction ever? This is real. It's real. I'm sorry if you believe otherwise. Again, it's your opinion. I get it. I respect it. I disagree 1,000%. This is real. Is it alien from another world?

I don't know that. Occam's razor. I don't know that. But it's real. And it's not a distraction. All right, finally, in the beginning, I said at the beginning of the show, All right, finally, in the beginning, I said at the beginning of the show, I told you I had a theory here as to if they are aliens, space aliens.

Listen, highly unlikely, but possible. If it's another alien technology visiting Earth, then why did they leave? Why aren't they here now? It's a very serious theory. You ready, Guy? Joe, you ready? Yeah, man. I want you guys both. I want your feedback. Tell me what you guys think about this. serious theory. You ready, Guy? Joe, you ready? Yeah, man. I want you guys both.

I want your feedback. Tell me what you guys think about this. You ready? Okay. So they came here. They have sensors. They probably had some aliens like humans walking around sensing what's going on. They felt around. They ran into

the liberal woke-topian crowd. They were like, screw felt around. They ran into the liberal Woketopian crowd. They were like, screw this crap. I'm getting the hell out of this place tomorrow. They did a U-turn. They were in park. They hit reverse. We're like, tires right back to Woketopia or wherever the hell they had to go.

They're like, I don't even want to hang out with these idiots. It's a serious scientific theory. Don't laugh. He's laughing. Joe, I'm dead serious. They came here. What are the world style? They had all the sensors. The attack was ready. And they were like, you know what? These liberal, these people are too stupid to conquer. And they felt sympathy for us. And they're out of here. They left. They did a

U-turn, put the car in reverse, and they went back to Galactopia or wherever the hell they're from. Flash Gordon World with Ming. Wherever they are, they left. These people are too stupid to conquer, and they left. I'm telling you, that's a testable scientific hypothesis. I think I'm going to be proven right in the long run. Hey, Joe. He said they probably saw Joy Reid jogging in Central Park vaccinated with two masks on.

And they were like, I'm sorry. These people are too stupid. They're just too stupid. We'll come back and invade it another time. We're just not doing it now. Very good. Very good. All right, folks.

We're going to wrap it up for the day. I had a couple more stories. I'll get to them tomorrow. Always good stuff. Don't miss my radio show today. Also, again, a couple big announcements. My Rumble account, Donald Trump's Rumble account, go to Rumble, rumble.com slash Bongino. Go to rumble.com, sign up for Donald Trump's verified account there as well.

And I got a big announcement coming tomorrow, again, and my continued war on big tech again, some will work out some won't, but I'm getting in the arena, man. I'm not going to sit on the sidelines. I'm sorry. And I would humbly request you join me in the fight inside the arena. Thanks a lot.

I'll see you all tomorrow. You just heard Dan Bongino.
