Starting point is 00:00:00 Chiara. It means smart in Italian. Too bad your barista can't spell it right. So you just give a fake name. Your cafe name. Julia. But the more you use it, the more it feels like you're in witness protection. Wait a minute. What kind of espresso drinks does Julia like anyway? Is it too late to change your latte order?
Starting point is 00:00:19 But with an espresso machine by KitchenAid, you wouldn't be thinking any of this. Because you could have just made your espresso at home. Shop now at KitchenAid.ca. Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. Folks, the Rittenhouse case has descended into total madness. Yesterday was an embarrassment and a case full of embarrassments for the prosecutor. It exposed so much.
Starting point is 00:00:50 And I did a video on my Locals account last night for my subscribers. It's been this ongoing kind of Dan Bongino, what's in my mind at the moment, the Locals account. And I said, you know, I'm in a bit of a quandary here because I'm obsessed with the Rittenhouse case. So I got to fit it in with the show and get the other news in as well. So we're going to start with Rittenhouse today because so much happened yesterday that speaks to so many different societal problems we have right now. I think that's why me and others are obsessed with this case. Welcome to the Dan Bongino show. Let's get right to it.
Starting point is 00:01:19 I've got that. Another humiliating defeat for the fake fact checkers out there. Polita farce. I've always told you uh they are a farce now you know and a video by a crt proponent advocate yes crt advocate saying he's got a thousand soldiers out there locked and loaded and ready to go i thought we were the crazy people isn't that what they keep telling us we're the white supremacist domestic terrorist violent, violent maniacs.

All right, Joe, let's go. Do not flee is he okay can you check on him with the camera okay first it reminds me of
Starting point is 00:02:54 what is it Amish from no no no the Irish guy from Braveheart remember the Irish guy from Braveheart that's what he sounded like just there first for the dumbest take of the day so far, no connection to what Joe just did. None.
Starting point is 00:03:09 The dumbest take of the day so far yesterday. That's not a bot. I don't want anyone to think that was a bot shot at Joe. Here is the tweet. I'm not kidding. Gregory McKelvey, blue checkmark genius on social media. He is apparently the chair, Joe, of the Oregon Democrat Black Caucus. The dumbest take of the day yesterday on the Rittenhouse trial. He says, this is an actual
Starting point is 00:03:31 tweet. It's not the onion or the Babylon Bee. Quote, employers, consider giving your black employees a day or two off after the Rittenhouse regardless of the outcome it's going to be hard for black people to work and it isn't fair to expect them to oh my god you will never ever find bigger racists than the radical far left ever how i'm not going to spend a lot of time on this i really want to get to the meat and potatoes but it just speaks to the not just soft bigotry anymore but the hard bigotry of the radical left that treat black men and women as these fragile weak creatures that can't take care of themselves, can't handle a trial verdict. White people, no problem. You don't need a day off.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Hispanics, you're good. Black people, you definitely need a day off. It's not fair to expect them to perform basic life duties the next day after a court case that has nothing to do with them, but that they may not like. This is the left. I have never seen a tweet so embody who the left is better than that from the chair, the Oregon Dem Black Caucus, speaking about how weak black people are. Ridiculous and demeaning. Oh, and demeaning and insulting and racist and hard racism. This is soft racism. Look at you. You're so weak. This isn't soft racism anymore.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Look at you, you're so weak. You can't handle the trial. You might as well stay home in bed with a thermometer in your mouth in case your temperature goes up. It's so ridiculous. All right, let's get to the actual meat and potatoes yesterday. The most ridiculous tactic yet,
Starting point is 00:05:18 which is hard to categorize based on how bad this prosecutor's been. This is yesterday. He did what I believe to be the dumbest movies made so far in the trial. So you have to keep in mind the residents of Kenosha who are on the jury. They're largely residents of that area. Remember full well the chaos and fear of the riots last summer. I know Guy remembers them.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Joe remembers them. I do as well. Remember those riots? And it was the first time in a long time where I was actually speaking to deputies, sheriffs in the county I live in in Florida. And I was legitimately concerned, like, what happens if this comes here? Is there any way to stop this? I know what we did in New York City. I know the Rudy Giuliani rule. The Giuliani rule was you throw a rock, you go to jail. Second guy who throws a rock goes to jail. There was no third guy. Okay. That was the Giuliani rule. That wasn't happening in New York. And what happens is the chaos was festering. Oh, we can get away with it in New York. We can get away with it in DC.
Starting point is 00:06:19 I will never forget going to the Trump hotel in D.C. and seeing the entire block boarded up with plywood. It looked like something out of Escape from New York with Snake Plissken. I'd never seen anything like it. The Kenosha residents who saw their city burned to the ground remember this well after the Jacob Blake shooting. So if you're a prosecutor trying to, you know, humanize the people who were shot, trying to humanize yourself to a jury, would you do it by insulting the jury and pretending the riots and the chaos that they lived through
Starting point is 00:06:55 were really no big deal? You're in my audience. You're like, of course not. That's asinine. That's exactly what the prosecutor did. By far his most ridiculous, outrageous tactic yet. Take a look at this. A prosecutor binger playing down the riots and what I believe alienating the jurors. We'll see when the verdict comes in. But check out the way he talks about what Rosenbaum, one of the people who was shot by Kyle Rittenhouse, but who was involved in this whole civil unrest situation. Watch the way he plays down all the stuff Rosenbaum did. Check this out.
Starting point is 00:07:29 So what does he do that night? Oh, let me tell you all the awful things Joseph Rosenbaum did. He tipped over a porta potty that had no one in it. He swung a chain. He lit a metal garbage dumpster on fire. Oh, and there's this empty wooden flatbed trailer that they pulled out in the middle of the road and they tipped it over to stop some bearcats and they lit it on fire. Oh, and he said some bad words. He said the N word. uh so guys no worries he dropped a few n-bombs while setting a dumpster on fire tipping over cars and a porta potty in the process but don't worry don't worry guys joe
Starting point is 00:08:13 no one was in the porta potty so it's no big deal don't yeah oh good been one heck of a mess yeah get over this this bro i i i at this i i really i'm not joking like i don't get it anymore because now i thought in the beginning okay he's playing for a mistrial the prosecutor right he's playing for a mistrial because he knows he lost the case but now that it doesn't look like a mistrial is going to happen you clearly got to play to win then at this point, or at least try. I'm starting to question, is he really this bad? Because if you're playing to win and you do that, you don't know how to win, meaning you're entirely incompetent. You never talk down to a jury and treat them like they're idiots. Don't worry. He was only running around, dropping N-bombs, setting dumpsters on fire while tipping over cars and porta-potties in the middle of a riot.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Oh, okay. No worries at all. There's no one in the porta-potty. No worries. By the way, I know someone who tipped over while in a porta-potty on the side of a road. Yes, yes. It's a really nasty, grotesque story.
Starting point is 00:09:23 I won't tell you who the person is, but it did happen. I promise you. And rolled a little bit down a hill in it. It was a bad situation. But don't worry. No one was in that port-a-bike. All right, moving on. Here is low light number two.
Starting point is 00:09:37 This is more some commentary on the trial. Yesterday, I had Molly Hemingway on my radio program yesterday about her new book, Reg. She was great. She was on with Laura Ingraham last night, and she brought up a fantastic point here. That the media, not to keep harping on this, folks, but it's so important. The media is the biggest cancer in our society right now. Not all the media, but the corrupt lying media. And how the media from the start, ironically, the ones who
Starting point is 00:10:07 wanted Rittenhouse prosecuted most severely, the media, right? The left wing nuts may have actually, depending on what happens with the jury today, may have actually destroyed the case from the jump. The same media wanted this kid prosecuted may have destroyed the case from the starting pistol because they lied and it appears even the prosecutor brought into the media lies he crossed state lines without a license he had no ties to kenosha he wasn't able to carry the weapon he shot first after he hunted them down listen to molly hemingway explain this beautifully on laura ingram show last night check this out it just is a sign of how incompetent this prosecution hunted them down. Listen to Molly Hemingway explain this beautifully on Laura Ingraham's show last night. Check this out. It just is a sign of how incompetent this prosecution was.
Starting point is 00:10:50 They were describing getting your getting beat up with a skateboard, having guns pointed at you, being chased as just a tussle that everybody should expect, or this idea that if you take steps to protect yourself, that you lose the right to self-defense. None of this makes any sense. And it really was shocking to see the prosecution make a case out of a set of facts that doesn't exist in the real world. It is, as Dinesh was saying, as if they took some of the media claims that were made and treated them as if they were real when they weren't. We were told that this 17-year-old crossed state lines trafficking a weapon in order to be in a place that he had no business being in to engage in vigilante justice. It turns out he didn't traffic a weapon across state lines, which is why that charge was dropped today, that his family is in Kenosha and that he was asked to help protect some of the property that was being assaulted by the violent rioters who were engaged in such acts of destruction during that time.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Yes, yes. Fantastic point. Reiterating the point we made yesterday during the podcast and radio show that the most destructive force in this country right now is not the left. The left only exists because of a force guiding them. And that is the corrupt lying media. The point she makes there is a beautiful one that it was really fascinating to watch a prosecutor try to make a case out of a set of facts that don't exist in the real world. Well said. Very, very well done. Well, why did he try to do that? Again, going back to point one about his most ridiculous tactic yet the prosecutor i'm starting to wonder ladies and gentlemen if this guy is really just that untalented that he listened to the media narratives himself the prosecutor and never bothered to do any
Starting point is 00:12:36 homework why else would you charge someone with a firearms possession based on a barrel length and never measure the barrel of the gun. I got that coming up a little bit later too. How incompetent do you have to be? And by the way, what was the defense attorney doing? How come he didn't catch that? I mean, listen, we got to, again, be fair in this case. How did he miss that?
Starting point is 00:13:00 All right, here's the prosecutor. This is the assistant prosecutor here, Krause, another one on this case, along with Binger. These two are just jokers, right? The prosecutor, again, demonstrating he is entirely ignorant or is lying to the jury about how use of force works, insisting somehow that there is some kind of an escalation mechanism necessary, that if you're confronted by a guy,'s say he's six five three hundred pounds looks like brock lesnar or whatever he confronts you in this street you have nothing to say or do with him
Starting point is 00:13:30 at all and he knuckles up to you you know notre dame fighting irish style guy and he's like hey let's go at this and he starts pounding your head into the concrete that you're obligated to pull a dalton from roadhouse if you watch the trial yesterday you know obligated to pull a Dalton from roadhouse. If you watched the trial yesterday, you know what I mean? They actually showed a photo of this nonsense, right? You're obligated to do a Dalton from roadhouse and do like a karate boxing match with this guy before you defend your life. No, he didn't say yes. They implied that yesterday that yes, there's an escalation, Joe.
Starting point is 00:14:00 First, you got to go UFC style. You got to go three rounds, five minute rounds. If you make it to three, five minute rounds, Joe, got to go UFC style. You got to go three rounds, five minute rounds. If you make it to three, five minute rounds, Joe, then they go to sticks. It's Arnis fighting like Dan and Asanto next. And then after the sticks, Joe, then it's knife fighting West side story style. You tie each other's wrists together. And then if you live through that, then you're allowed to do, uh, you're, you're allowed to go, uh, dueling with old style revolutionary wharf pistols and then after that you graduate to ar-15s is this a sanctioned event is this a sanctioned event
Starting point is 00:14:32 apparently and i guess the sanctioning is done by prosecutor crash who oversees it like the referee like big john mccarthy don't doubt me here's the prosecutor yesterday suggesting that yes the fist fight has to happen first. He doesn't say when it has to end before force graduates, just that the fistfight has to happen first. And if you make it through the fistfight, your head doesn't get smashed into the concrete. Then you may be allowed to graduate the force. Check this out. As Mr. Binger said, he brought a gun to a fistfight. And he was too cowardly to use his own fist to fight his way out.
Starting point is 00:15:07 He has to start shooting. And let's just say theoretically that we think that the 12 of you think that it is reasonable to have used force deadly force in that situation folks i'll never forget being in argentina on jenna bush's detail and we were sitting in the car with these Argentinian, basically secret service guys. They were police officers. They were good guys. And we were in the car with them eight hours a shift. You wind up talking about everything.
Starting point is 00:15:32 And their English was very good because my Spanish was terrible. And we'd start talking and the Argentinian guy was telling me how there was some change made to police use of force and that they had to go on a force on force scenario. In other words, you weren't allowed to counter as a police officer with a superseding level of force,
Starting point is 00:15:50 only an equal level of force. Now, some of you listening right now are probably, maybe if you're liberal, if you're conservative, you already get that that's a joke. But if you're a liberal listening, we get a lot of lunatics that listen to the show like Media Matters and those nuts, right? You're probably like, well, that sounds reasonable.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Of course you should equal the force. You should so just to be clear a guy pulls a knife on you in the street and you have a firearm you have to pull out a knife first west side story style maybe pirates of penzance or zorro you get to pull out a sword no no just a knife well what if he's got a seven inch knife and yours is eight? No, no more force. You got better reach. Do you understand how stupid this is? This is a prosecutor, ladies and gentlemen. This is a prosecutor, a guy who supposedly has a law degree. Do you understand how dumb that is?
Starting point is 00:16:36 The entire principle, common sense wise, common law written into our basic tenets of your right to self-defense is not to have to use an equal amount of force but a superseding amount of force to stop the force being imposed on you but guy pulls out a knife you can pull out a gun and tell him to pull put the knife down that would be appropriate levels of self-defense. Is this hard? The Argentinian guy was explaining to me how after that the cops never did anything. Obviously.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Guy pulled out a knife. The cop had to pull out a knife too. Guy pulls out a stick. You pull out your nightstick. Well, your nightstick's longer. Hold on, hacksaw. Let me hack off an inch of my nightstick. Well, that nightstick has a point.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Hold on. Let me sharpen mine. We can do spear fighting now. This is a prosecutor. Folks, listen, small town prosecutors can be very smart. I've worked with a lot of them, really smart. Some of the best lawyers I've ever worked with. This guy is embarrassing everyone. He really is. What a joke. Dalton and that cat from Roadhouse. The other. The guy who. The bodyguard guy.
Starting point is 00:17:53 That's the example. Is this serious? Kid's life is at stake. Is this serious? Or is this some kind of joke? Folks the media blew the case. And now they're looking for an out. I'm going to get to that coming up next they have two narratives they're going to paint now that molly hemingway's point
Starting point is 00:18:09 is coming to fruition here how the media set up the prosecutor with a bunch of false narratives that it appears the prosecutor fell for and it's just finding out or false during the trial not the time to find out your case is based on a house of cards. Is it too late to change your latte order? But with an espresso machine by KitchenAid, you wouldn't be thinking any of this because you could have just made your espresso at home. Shop now at KitchenAid.ca. At New Balance, we believe if you run, you're a runner, however you choose to do it.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Because when you're not worried about doing things the right way, you're free to discover your way. And that's what running is all about. Run your way at newbalance.com slash running. Okay. Getting back to this here. The media blew the case they did because they lied to the public again. And it appears the prosecutor ridiculously may have fallen for these lies. I mean, the guy's a prosecutor. What has he taken on the media journalism model, which is to never fact check anything? I mean, is that what he's doing? So now that the media blew the case, they're looking for an out. They lied to everyone illegal to carry a firearm rittenhouse shot first he was a domestic terror and white supremacist he drove
Starting point is 00:19:50 7 000 miles from antioch antioch's 21 miles away but oh my gosh i'm sorry we were only off by a factor of a couple hundred no big deal no biggie there so now the media needs another narrative so they're going with two narratives well Well, it's actually one narrative. Of course, it has to be right. You remember, hat tip there, Tom Marr, the great Tom Marr, God rest his soul, was a radio host at WCBM when Joe was there. He said, you're a racist.
Starting point is 00:20:18 We haven't done that in a long time, but they're going with the you're a racist, hat tip, Tom Marr model. That's what they do every single time. And it's not just that you're a racist. If you believe Kyle Rittenhouse is not guilty. Um, it's that the judge is clearly a racist too, which is phenomenal here because the judge is white. The people who were shot were white. Kyle Rittenhouse who was attacked is white and the prosecutor of the defense are white. So everybody's of the same race. So amazingly they're making this a race issue, which is stunning because race isn't an issue at all. But that doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:20:48 The media will just make it up. Hat tip, Tom Elliott from Gravy. And here's a great quick media montage of the left now preparing for the narrative. If Rittenhouse is declared not guilty, preparing for the narrative that it was definitely a racist judge. Check this out. I don't see how anybody can say that this judge is not biased and is not leaning in a certain direction. I think that the behavior of the judge in totality is the problem. This judge is an absolute joke. He's been a joke from the very beginning. Clearly, this guy has biases that are affecting the administration of this case. I completely agree from my observation that the judge is entirely biased. The judge is making it pretty much impossible for the jury to actually consider all the facts and come up with a verdict where justice will be served. You've tweeted and talked about the fact
Starting point is 00:21:38 that the judge is racist and you think that impacts how he is managing this trial. He has made a series of decisions. Each one perhaps may be individually defensible, but in totality lead to the impression of a biased, racist judge with his Trump rally cell phone that is trying to get Rittenhouse a walk. God bless the USA ringtone, which is the trump rally theme song it appears that this judge is auditioning for the cameras and looking for his next gig on fox news he sounds like he's watched too much bill o'reilly i mean he's acting like archie bunker in there they can't stop they can't stop they've magically made a case with a white defendant a white prosecutor all of the people involved in the case were white. The judge is white. They've managed to make this case somehow about racism against black America,
Starting point is 00:22:32 which is just shocking, which is, well, it's not, it's, it's only shocking in that a common sense person viewing this. Like I always think to myself, bear with me for a second. I mean, to get off topic, but I think a lot to myself to myself if you were say you were some race of highly intelligent space aliens right and you were visiting earth for the first time i think about this a lot and you were saying ambassador and the ambassador from this planet whatever it may be or planet argon whatever and you come here and you're watching this and you don't know human culture or anything about us but you kind of understand the language doing language here and you're watching this and you don't know human culture or anything about us but you kind of understand the language to a language translator and you're watching this trial you've only been here a day and you're like uh race you guys have
Starting point is 00:23:13 right yeah yeah we have different melanin contents of the skin so people categorize that as race it's really a social construction uh you know but we do it how and the alien from from argon's like well i don't understand. How is this racist? Everybody appears to look the same when it comes to the tone of the skin. No, no, no. And then you'd see the human being trying to explain to the alien from Argonne, like, yeah, I know that doesn't make sense.
Starting point is 00:23:37 And I'm having a hard time explaining to you because it doesn't make sense. But if you understood our media environment, you'd get it. And the alien would be like, huh? Don't, I think about that a lot. I know it's dumb, but I do. I think about it all the time. Like if there was a race of space creatures who came here and tried to understand the ridiculous left, how would the left explain it to the space creature, right?
Starting point is 00:23:58 How would they explain their whole concept of there's no men and women? The space creature would be like wait we have a xxxy chromosome thing you have different parts you know male reproductive parts female ones they look different no no that's not real that none of that's real the space creature be like my gosh we can't invade these people they're idiots this isn't even fair this is great it's right is this not crazy? Does not compute. Now, why does this case matter so much to the left? Folks, it matters for a very serious reason.
Starting point is 00:24:36 You know, think about it, right? Why is the left wasting so much time creating false narratives, lying about Kyle Rittenhouse? Why? There's, I don't know, 10,000, 20,000, 100,000, who knows how many criminal cases going on right now across the country for felonies. Why is the left so interested in this particular case? Well, Tucker explained it really well on his show last night. He's correct. Folks, the left needs you to be hapless victims.
Starting point is 00:25:14 The left, the whole Soros network of people, right? They want you to be helpless. Soros, these people who spend all this money on political activism, they don't want you to dare fight back. It reminds me of Michael Anton's Smales exhortation, Judge Smales from Caddyshack. You'll get nothing and you like it. The minute you fight back using the courts, the left wants to remodel the Supreme Court. The minute you fight back with Donald Trump in office, tax cuts, deregulation,
Starting point is 00:25:38 the left accuses him of giving Vladimir Putin back rubs, right? The left wants you to have nothing. And one of the ways the left wants you to have nothing as well as they don't want you to be able to organize in the streets like they do to create social change. Pay very close attention to what I'm about to say. They don't want that. They know we outnumber them. The left knows they are a minority of wackadoodle moon bats, right? They saw what happened with the Tea Party and how we got out there. Remember what happened when we got out there with the Tea Party? Remember the false allegations up on Capitol Hill? Remember that, Joe? They were spitting on people up on Capitol Hill. Remember that? Meanwhile, no one could
Starting point is 00:26:12 produce the video of any of this happening. The left is terrified that the right is going to figure out how to use the streets too. Don't ever, ever forget that. So the way the left wants to keep you out of the streets is by financing and organizing their shock troops, Antifa and BLM, who will use violence to frighten you. If Rittenhouse gets off and people understand, you know what, I can defend myself too if the police aren't there and if my life is under attack, the left is terrified that more people will say, hey, listen, I'm not going to put up with this. If you attack my life is under attack, the left is terrified that more people will say, hey, listen, I'm not going to put up with this. If you attack my life, I'm going to defend myself.
Starting point is 00:26:49 The left wants nothing more than to McCloskey every single person out there. Please, please, if there's a point I've made in this show in the last few weeks, I need you to take home and make salient in your brain and tattoo on your skull. It's that the left wants to McCloskey everyone. We will break down the private fence to your street. We will invade your property. And the minute you even show up outside and even pretend to defend your life with a firearm,
Starting point is 00:27:17 loaded or unloaded, you will go to jail. They want you to be weak. They want you to kneel before them. And the fact that this kid didn't kneel and defended his own life, if they lose this case, it changes the whole game. Do you understand? Please, I don't mean to sound condescending. I know you get it.
Starting point is 00:27:38 But Tucker explained this beautifully last night. The left wants to own the streets. They don't want you out there. You come out there, they're going to attack you, and you're going to take it. Therefore, wants to own the streets. They don't want you out there. You come out there, they're going to attack you and you're going to take it. Therefore, they have to win this. That's what's about the lies. Here, listen to Tucker explain this beautifully last night. Watch that prosecutor, Thomas Binger, who's writing these names anyway, explain that if you take steps to defend yourself, you have by definition given up your right
Starting point is 00:28:02 to self-defense. They have to convince you that Joseph Rosenbaum was going to take that gun and use it on the defendant because they know you can't claim self-defense against an unarmed man like this. You lose the right to self-defense when you're the one who brought the gun. Who's writing the rules here? Let's just pause for a second and go through what he said. There's no such thing as self-defense against a man who has no gun. Really? Well, according to the federal government's own statistics, far more people in this country are beaten to death every year than are killed by AR-15s. So that is a, by definition, ridiculous claim. If an ex-con with a history of violent crime informs you that he is going to murder you and then tries to grab your gun from your hands, you are allowed to respond.
Starting point is 00:28:58 In fact, you have to respond because it would be suicidal not to, obviously. But as a legal matter, all that matters here is whether Kyle Rittenhouse reasonably believed that his life was in danger. And of course he believed that. Why wouldn't he? You would believe that too if you were him. But it's the second part of the prosecutor's lie that tells you the most about how these people think. Here's the quote. You lose the right to self-defense when you're the one that brought the gun. Really, Mr. Binger? So no one with a concealed carry permit is allowed to defend himself? What's the point of having a gun if you can't save your own life with it?
Starting point is 00:29:37 Get it? Get it? Got it? Good. Tucker is exactly right right the left has always hated the second amendment the left will crap all over the cops until they tell you the cops are the only way to defend yourself because they want you to put your firearms down the left does not believe in an inherent god-given big r god-given right to self-defense the left needs to own the streets. They don't want the tea party or anything like it back on the streets again. The way to keep you off the streets is to attack you and intimidate you. And if you believe you have the right to defend yourself,
Starting point is 00:30:13 when a reasonable person would believe their life was in danger, then all of a sudden the less intimidation game isn't so intimidating because we outnumber them. Folks, that's why this case is a red line for them. And that's why they are putting all of this energy into making sure an innocent man goes to jail. Good job by them, by Tucker last night, explaining that.
Starting point is 00:30:36 He is exactly, exactly right. Once you know their game, it all makes sense. All right, here's what I got coming up. PolitiFact blows it again. I mean, the PolitiFact, folks, you know, to call call them a joke is it's almost self-explanatory at this point politifarce has always been a scam i've been warning you about them for five six years now they got busted lying to you again the same fact checker who said biden's checked his watch during a uh the ceremony with the uh dead soldiers uh no that's not true. Remember that guy, Daniel Funke?
Starting point is 00:31:06 Yeah, he's back again. When doctors, clinicians, and government officials collaborate with our country's innovative pharmaceutical companies, the side effects include improved policies that speed up the delivery of medications to those in need and better overall health for all Canadians. Okay, folks. Politifar strikes again.
Starting point is 00:31:26 I told you this website was a joke. They are not fact-checkers. They are not even good opinion-checkers. Here's Daniel Funke, clown show fact-checker, back again. Funke had said a while ago that, hey, at 17 years old, Kyle was perfectly legal to be able to possess that rifle without parental supervision. That's a quote.
Starting point is 00:31:45 He fact-checked that as false. As the judge threw out the charge yesterday for the weapons charge and dumped it, Daniel Funke was proven to be a buffoon. Now, here's the funny part. Daniel Funke, and just to be clear what we're talking about here, Kyle Rittenhouse was not guilty of a weapons charge for carrying the Smith & Wesson M&P 15 AR-15 he was carrying. Because the conditions on the charge to charge him with it would have to be that he was underage, he was not, or that the barrel was a short-barreled rifle.
Starting point is 00:32:20 It was not. I have a Smith & Wesson M&P 15. Here's the funny thing dan funky in his fact check a year ago which was completely wrong his fact check actually has links i have them right here to the wisconsin and the illinois law which clearly state the age doesn't matter the the age doesn't qualify for rittenhouse and the short barrel restriction doesn't apply to rittenhouse either go to the illinois one next because he was in Antioch in the neighboring state of Illinois.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Neither one of them. He, you get what I'm saying? You have to be either underage Rittenhouse wasn't to be charged with this crime, or you have to have a short bound rifle Rittenhouse didn't. He actually puts the statutes in the fact check claiming that this was in fact false, that Rittenhouse wasn't guilty of this. He puts the links in there, the actual statutes.
Starting point is 00:33:15 This is the same guy though, as you can see, who fact-checked the Daniel Funk. Oh, thanks. He circled his name there. Fact check. Biden honored service members killed in Kabul. Check watched during the ceremony. Yeah, remember when they said that was false? Then they had to correct it because everybody saw Biden check his watch multiple times. It's been changed to, here's the hilarious thing. The fact check was changed from partly false to missing context. What a joke.
Starting point is 00:33:43 They're a total scam. You see how the whole leftist symbiote works? Leftist billionaire donors, Pierre Omadir, Soros, they feed into these institutes and these hacks like Nandini. They also feed into these networks that support people like Antifa, like Nandini does. And then they feed into factcheckers to engage in communist speech suppression. You see how the game works? I'll go into more on that in a little bit. Let me get to this first, yesterday, because we're always told by leftists,
Starting point is 00:34:15 remember, they always, always accuse you of what they're doing themselves. It is the golden rule of leftist narrative building. If you ever want to see what the radical left is up to, see what they're accusing you of and start digging. Not into you, into them, because that's exactly what they're doing. Here is a critical racism theory, critical racism training, as I like to call it, advocate. A guy by the name of Malik Austin shows up in Fort Worth at a school board meeting and starts hollering about CRT
Starting point is 00:34:46 and then basically starts to threaten the parents saying that he has a thousand soldiers for CRT locked and loaded. I want you to pay very close attention to this because we were told that we were the domestic terrorists, right? Just checking. Wasn't the DOJ initiative with the FBI to investigate parents at school boards, wasn't it directed at what the National School Boards Association called parents who were against CRT, critical racism training? So we're the domestic terrorists, which is really odd because you don't see any of the parents talking about locked and loaded soldiers, but the actual CRT advocates. Will we see a DOJ memo about Malik Austin? No, of course we won't.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Because Malik Austin's privileged, right? He's a CRT advocate, which is a privileged class. Wait, I thought Don Lemon said that wasn't possible. We'll get to that in a second, too. Here's Malik Austin, excuse me, saying he's got a thousand soldiers locked and loaded. Yeah, nobody on the left seems to bat an eyelash. They don't care about violence. They only care about violence when they think conservatives are doing it. Check this out. I've got over a thousand soldiers ready to go. We're not the board.
Starting point is 00:35:54 We're not the board. I don't care. My person's being erased. I don't care. My first amendment right is to address the poor. The board is in front of you. It's not me. If you want to talk to me, I'd be happy to talk to you.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Turn off your television. Time. Time is over. Time. It's over. It's over. It's over. It's over. Yeah, I'm going to bring my son to me next time.
Starting point is 00:36:22 I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time. I'm going to bring my son to me next time now you know why they got routed in new jersey got routed in Virginia, and school boards got full of critical racism training, racists got routed across the country? Because you think parents don't know that they were the ones who showed up to peacefully exert their big R God-given right to assemble and petition their government at school board meetings,
Starting point is 00:36:59 and yet they were accused of being domestic terrorists? You get this guy here yesterday screaming about locked and loaded soldiers how is that not an implied threat what else would he be saying you see a doj memo about that is the fbi talking to him i'd like to know fbi what are you guys up to what are you up to there are you talking to him you should be why aren't you oh that's right you're too busy in loudon county virginia investigating uh jane smith who showed up because she doesn't want her kid being taught to be a racist unbelievable and it reminds me yesterday i hate to play cuts again but i want to play this cut of don lemon i played it actually twice in the radio show yesterday because it shows you
Starting point is 00:37:39 big point again i'm going to make again at the end of the show and i made all day molly hemingway's point that the state of the country we're in now, we are only in because the media consistently lies to people. Dinesh D'Souza will make this point at the end of the show today. That is why liberals believe what they believe. These people aren't stupid. They believe it because the media tells them nonsense over and over and over again. Like Don Lemon telling people yesterday that rittenhouse is somehow example of privilege despite being on the trial for homicide having no uh no one in the no one in the case was anything
Starting point is 00:38:12 other than white involved in this but the lemon makes a racial incident and then he tries to claim somehow that privilege is a white thing privilege sounds like mal Malik Austin had privilege yesterday. He didn't walk out of there in handcuffs. Check this out. It is the ultimate degree of entitlement when people believe that this is how they're supposed to be. What the right is saying about Kyle Rittenhouse is that, well, the government didn't do its job, so it took a 17-year-old kid to come in and do what was right. That's vigilantism. That's not what people are not supposed to be vigilantes.
Starting point is 00:38:44 We're not supposed to be taking justice into our own hands. Imagine if every single person in America did that. Imagine if you call for for black men or just black folks to be armed and go out in the streets and, you know, do what they think justice, take it back. Remember what they did to you and slavery, whatever. Go in and take things. Imagine if people were condoning that. Yeah, imagine. Imagine that, Joe. Imagine if people were condoning that. Like Malik Austin saying he had a thousand soldiers locked and loaded. Yeah, imagine. Imagine what would happen. Imagine talking like Hawk Newsome.
Starting point is 00:39:19 There's going to be bloodshed in the streets. Imagine that. Imagine that, Don. Going to call that out on your show? You big fraud. And you wonder why people laugh at you idiots and why CNN has less viewers than a rerun of SpongeBob. Morons. So sick of you idiots. Did he
Starting point is 00:39:38 not see that? Someone please send that cut to Don Lemon and ask him when he's gonna condemn that? Ask him when he's gonna condemn Hawk Newsome Ask him when he's going to condemn Hawk Newsome. Going to be bloodshed in the streets. I'm so sick of these fake tough guys, too, by the way. I don't want to keep harping on this, but I'm just tired of it. We are locked and loaded.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Believe me, I spent a lot of time in cells with bad guys watching how they behave. They're the first ones calling for their mamas when they get locked up. They are the biggest wuss bags you have ever seen in your life. They're big smack talkers, and you can replace smack with an expletive. That was a big eye-opening. When you're the new guy as a police officer, they stick you in the cells. Every precinct has a cell before you go to central booking. It's not the best job you got to fingerprint everyone everybody wants their phone call they're all complaining about something it's not the best gig but you learn a lot about people
Starting point is 00:40:35 a lot because i would talk to them you know they're still human they're still talking what's wrong they're the first ones crying for their mamas when they get pinched. The biggest smack talkers. They'll be left deluded, bloodshed in the streets. All right, let me get to my last sponsor. Here's what I got coming up. The ACLU finally starts saying things about civil liberties. I thought they were the Civil Liberties Union.
Starting point is 00:41:02 No, they're not. They're the American cabal for liberal unity. It had nothing to do with civil liberties at all. But finally, they decided to say something. Stunner. And I want to end this show today in a little bit with another piece from Laura Ingraham's show last night by Dinesh D'Souza, who, again, perfectly sums up how the media is the biggest problem in the country today. Metro links and cross links are reminding everyone to be careful. sums up how the media is the biggest problem in the country today. Be careful along our tracks and only make left turns where it's safe to do so.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Be alert, be aware, and stay safe. All right, just a quick note. You can read this story in my show notes today, and you should at Town Hall. The ACLU, who supposedly stands for American Civil Liberties Union, like I said, it's the cabal of liberal unity. That's all they've become is a liberal activist group now, has finally decided to open their yappers about the project Veritas raid from the FBI. James O'Keefe, this group project Veritas, they are conservative, but they are journalists
Starting point is 00:42:14 and they're very good at what they do. They were raided by the FBI because the Biden administration is using the constitution as toilet paper and the ACLU to their mild credit, they should have spoken out sooner as they take a pot shot at Project Veritas. They're like, we don't agree with any of their methods. It doesn't matter. They're a journalism outlet. I don't agree with the New York Times methods of calling Donald Trump a Russian colluder either. But if the New York Times was raided by a Republican administration, violating the right of the free press, you have my word, I would be the first one talking about it. So the ACLU has finally spoken out and said free press, you have my word, I would be the first one talking about it. So the ACLU has finally spoken out and said, hey, we have to be very
Starting point is 00:42:49 careful with this. This Project Veritas case is a bigger deal than they're making it out to be. Finally, American Civil Liberties Union, maybe do something about civil liberties once in a while and don't wait a few days to, you know, win check your donors. Okay, a couple quick notes. The Build Back Worse plan, the Committee for Responsible Federal Budget, it's not a heavily partisan outlet at all. Joe Biden is lying to you, ladies and gentlemen. The cost of it is going to be double what they say.
Starting point is 00:43:21 Here's the trick, as you can see in this link. It'll be in my newsletter as well, bongino.com slash newsletter. Sign up today. it's free. Here's the stunt. They're saying it's going to cost between 1.7 and 1.9 trillion, Biden's Build Back Worse plan, right? Folks, when you look at it, it's actually going to cost double that, maybe more.
Starting point is 00:43:37 Here's the trick. They set sunsets on all of these things they plan to spend money on. The earned income tax credit expansion, universal pre-K, child care subsidies. They make them expire after a certain amount of time. You get what I'm saying? So let's just use a simple example.
Starting point is 00:43:53 The child care, the pre-K, universal pre-K. They said, well, the budget window is 10 years, but don't worry, folks. We're just going to put in the Build Back Worse plan. This is going to expire after two years. So if you're a conservative, you're like, oh, okay, okay well it won't be that bad these programs expire after two years no that's not why they're putting that in there folks that's not what's happening here's the stunt here's the scam they know full well after two years republicans are going to have to run for re-e 2022 and 2024. So what are they going to do, Joe?
Starting point is 00:44:26 The Dems are going to say, hey, remember all that money we gave you parents for pre-K and all that stuff? Look what happened. These evil Republicans want to take it away. There is no such thing as a temporary government program. None. They're cutting the window down to cut the cost down. It's only going to cost us for two years. It's going to cost you for the rest of your life until you're dead. The stunt here is if Democrats win in 2022 and 2024, great, we extend the program. If Democrats lose, we just blame Republicans for taking your universal pre-K money away. You get it? That's why they put these sunsets in there, which make the program seem cheaper,
Starting point is 00:45:05 even though they're not. By the way, the deficit this year, as you can see, according to the AP, the deficit is 2.77 trillion for liberals. That means we're spending 2.7 trillion more dollars than we have. And you want to spend 5 trillion more? There's no money. There's no money.
Starting point is 00:45:27 There is no money. There's no money. We are printing it. That is what is happening. That's what's causing this inflation, destroying your purchasing power right now. Build Back Worse plan is a scam. Double everything they're telling you. All right. Speaking of a scam, Biden got totally rolled yesterday. Did you see he had a virtual
Starting point is 00:45:54 summit with Xi Jinping from China? Leader of China. Fake leader. Big another fraud. Xi Jinping. Well, Xi completely trolled Biden yesterday, showed no respect for him at all. What do I mean? This is, listen, this is not, it's kind of interesting and humorous what happened, how Xi just has no respect for Biden whatsoever. But you know what's not funny? China is in a very aggressive posture right now with Taiwan and Hong Kong, Russia and Ukraine as well. They don't respect Biden, folks, at all. That's a deadly, serious situation. Here is Xi completely trolling him yesterday. First, let me play this video. It'll make sense. This is Peter Doocy a year ago asking Joe Biden, hey, you know, what's the deal with you calling
Starting point is 00:46:42 Xi Jinping your old friend? And watch the reaction of Biden. It's very clear. None of this is being done by accident. Pay close attention. Check this out. Is there going to become a time where you might call him old friend to old friend and ask him to open up China to the World Health Organization investigators who are trying to get to the bottom of COVID-19? Let's get something straight. We know each other well.
Starting point is 00:47:04 We're not old friends. So they're not old friends. So they're not old friends. That was from a while ago. Joe Biden made it clear, right? We're not trying to play tough guy with China. We're not old friends. I'm not an old friend with Xi Jinping. It's really weird.
Starting point is 00:47:17 If you watch this New York Post article, during the summit, they opened up China's Xi, called Biden an old friend after the president talks climate change, but not COVID at virtual summit. You think that was by accident? You think Xi just accidentally used the term old friend?
Starting point is 00:47:32 Folks, he's letting him know who the boss is. I am not an interventionist overseas by any measure. I believe we should be very judicious about the use of our military. But what's happening right now with China's aggression towards Taiwan and Russia's aggression towards Ukraine, 100,000 troops on their border, is very serious.
Starting point is 00:47:53 And what bothers me about that, what that exchange right there, is Xi doesn't take Biden seriously. He opened up the interchange with him on the virtual summit by humiliating him. That was done deliberately. It was not an accident. It was letting him know, we don't respect you. We know exactly who you are. And China is preeminent right now.
Starting point is 00:48:14 That's what he's doing. All your beefs against Donald Trump, he wouldn't have pulled that scam with him. That was not, I repeat, not an accident. Hey, I want to get to this quick as well. I need you to read this story in my newsletter today, please. Uh, by the post millennial. It's a great outlet over there. It's at bungito.com slash newsletter. Again, you can follow it's all free. So I get this question a lot. It's a friend of mine. Who's a former law enforcement guy worked with them in a couple of different capacities had said to me,
Starting point is 00:48:48 you know, don't you find it odd, Joe? I don't know if you notice this too. Like whenever you see these Antifa rallies and these BLM rallies, they all seem to have like pre-printed signs, bricks magically show up on a corner. And my friend had said to me,
Starting point is 00:49:00 you think this is by accident? Like he had done some homework into gangs and Antifa is a terrorist gang. Um, and BLM as well. Right. That's what they did. And he's like, don't think this is an accident that all of a sudden everybody shows up with bricks. Like where'd the bricks come from? They didn't rip a building down. Right. Well, in some cases they burned them down, but the bricks just seem to magically appear. There is a network of funding folks. These people are all connected. And Andy know did an incredible incredible piece at the Postmillennial exposing our friend, the Cat Lady. I'm working on something right now with the Cat Lady. I want you to just stay close on this story.
Starting point is 00:49:35 The Cat Lady, Nandini Jami, is, if many of you listen to the show know, she's a lunatic. She basically sits in mommy's basement and tries to get companies to boycott conservative sites. Nandini has been a supporter of her Antifa friend, this guy, Chad Loder, for a long time. Chad Loder hates Andy Ngo because Andy Ngo has exposed Antifa as the terrorist group they are. You got to read this piece about Chad Loder,
Starting point is 00:50:00 Nandini Jami's buddy. And you have to start asking these companies working with Nandini, and you should every time she tweets about it. Her friend blocked me, by the way. Her friend Nandini's partner blocked me, which is hilarious, right? You should be tweeting these articles to all these companies. Hey, you're working with Nandini Jammie?
Starting point is 00:50:16 You know she's a supporter of Chad Loader. Who's Chad Loader? Well, here, according to Andy's piece, Loader's working in conjunction with self-described Antifa activists, Nandini Jami to target advertisers on the post-millennial. Nandini Jami founded and runs a group, Check My Ads Institute, which says it fights discrimination,
Starting point is 00:50:36 but in practice seeks to financially harm conservative news sites that challenge left-wing liberal orthodoxy. Nandini targets their advertisers with spurious claims that their brand is appearing on neo-Nazi websites. Jammie has passed information to the New York City cell of Antifa. Oh, she did. And tweeted last year, Antifa isn't a dirty word. It's an effort we all need to be a part of right now.
Starting point is 00:51:00 In addition to the post-millennial, Jammie has tried to financially damage news sites, The Daily Wire and The Daily Caller. Which is really weird because Nandini, this is her tweet, folks. The accusations are finally true. I'm part of a George Soros-backed initiative. This is Nandini's own tweet.
Starting point is 00:51:18 I'm joining with the advisory board of Good Info Inc., an organization with a systemic plan to counter disinformation, starting with boosting local journalism. Soros Stooge working with Antifa Stooge trying to boycott conservatives. Now you know where the money base of all this stuff is? All right, Nandini. It's Anthony Samitian. This is ironic coming from the left that hates Israel.
Starting point is 00:51:40 That is the most hilarious, ridiculous charge. You notice how they try to silence you? That's how you know they're afraid. You've got a big, big project coming up with Nandini soon. Any organization working with this grotesque anti-Semite who has attacked a Jewish podcaster for ridiculous false claim, who works with Antifa and who has been defrauding her donors who lied to them. Just know you work with her. We're going to be exposing that you're working with this Antifa backing lunatic. Trust me, we are not letting any of this go.
Starting point is 00:52:16 All right. I want to end the show as I begun it today on the Rittenhouse trial and how the biggest problem we have in our country right now is the left-wing media and people like Nandini who work with them to make sure the facts never get out. They are the disinformation specialists. And because of this pool of disinformation, you have people believing things that just aren't true. Here's Dinesh D'Souza making this point I made yesterday about the media being so cancerous to our society, the bad media, the lying media, about the media being so cancerous to our society. The bad me, the lying me. On the Laura Ingraham show last night, check this out.
Starting point is 00:52:51 It's been so startling to compare the videos and also the facts as presented in the trial with the leftist media narrative leading up to the trial. For example, even small things that came out in the trial. At one point, Kyle Rittenhouse blurted out that his dad lives in Kenosha. And it turns out he has other relatives in Kenosha as well. And right away, I thought, wow, I've been reading for months and months that this guy crossed state lines. He was a chaos tourist.
Starting point is 00:53:18 He was coming to Kenosha. He had no business whatsoever in Kenosha. Well, he has family in Kenosha. So one after the other, he's a white supremacist. He was chasing after those guys. They weren't chasing after him. Evidently, a lot of people were even under the impression that his victims were black. So, you know, you had this elaborately constructed narrative.
Starting point is 00:53:40 And, you know, if I'm someone reading The New York Times or just watching CNN, you know, I would take in these lies. You can't even blame people for sort of completely being on the wrong track. There it is, folks, beautifully stated. You can't blame people for being on the wrong track here when it was all they were told about Rittenhouse and everything else, the Russia hoax for the past three, four or five years of their life. What I do blame you for, though, is not seeking the truth. It's out there, and this isn't the X-Files. It's the real world. Thanks for tuning in, folks.
