Starting point is 00:00:00 Metrolinx and Crosslinx are reminding everyone to be careful as Eglinton Crosstown LRT train testing is in progress. Please be alert, as trains can pass at any time on the tracks. Remember to follow all traffic signals, be careful along our tracks, and only make left turns where it's safe to do so. Be alert, be aware, and stay safe. Get ready to hear the truth about America
Starting point is 00:00:31 on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. You know, folks, I woke up this morning and I'm starting to really question everything. Like, is it possible? Is it really possible? I really question everything. Like, is it possible? Is it really possible? I mean, question everything. Is it possible that 40, 45% of the country, you know, are really not getting it?
Starting point is 00:00:54 And I started to wake up this morning and think to myself, am I not getting it? Because I'm always open to new ideas. I'm not kidding. And I'm thinking if 45% of the country really believes that the Obama Biden liberal ethos is correct, high taxes, government running everything, shutdowns, lockdowns, mandates, no freedom. They can't all be dumb, right? They can't. I mean, I, you know, it'd be funny to just insult. Oh, they're all idiots. They're all morons like they do to us, but they're not, you know, we're talking about probably upwards of 120, 130, 140 million people, if not more.
Starting point is 00:01:27 They can't all be stupid. So I'm saying to myself this morning, is this even possible? Or am I getting it wrong? Because the evidence is overwhelming that us, the freedom side, the anti-lockdown, anti-mandate, anti-high taxes, anti-big government side. Is it just possible we're wrong? Because I don't think we are. The evidence is on our side. I got this and more today, and I was inspired by a video I saw.
Starting point is 00:01:53 Hey, thousands of my listeners have secured their internet and their online activity with a VPN. Get one. Go to expressvpn.com slash Bongino today. Welcome to the Dan Bongino Show. Let's get right to it. What inspired me? n.com slash Bongino today. Welcome to the damn Bongino show. Let's get right to it. What did, what inspired me? I woke up to this video of the dreadful,
Starting point is 00:02:08 just humiliatingly dopey. This is a dopey person. I'm Arnold Schwarzenegger, who at one time hilariously claimed to be a Republican claiming, you know, your freedom. Don't be squat to me. Ironically,
Starting point is 00:02:20 no, there's not a human being on planet earth. Who's benefited more and gotten wealthier off of the freedoms of this country than harold schwarzenegger kind of ironic now got that also an article by dan harwitz you're not going to want to miss about why children may be in the hospital right now and it may not be because of coronavirus it may have to do with career but not be because of coronavirus it's an interesting piece.

All right, Joe, let's go. All right. You really did, like, blow your entire wad on Monday, didn't you? Well, I'm being cautious. I want to have something tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Yeah, I can tell. All right, all right. We'll see what happens there. Seriously, as I opened up the show, I am beginning to question everything. I sat there this morning trying to prep the show. We were having some technical difficulties. I thought to myself, how can it possibly be that upwards of 100 million plus people, maybe upwards of 150 million people, really believe with no evidence to back it up
Starting point is 00:04:31 whatsoever that lockdowns work, mandates work, that masks are stopping the spread of the virus, even though we keep having the spread of the virus, that high taxes are working despite the fact that inflation is going wild, people's real rages are going down. The economy is supposed to be booming after COVID, and yet 10 million people aren't working. Like, you have no data. Listen to me. You liberals, you, I'm talking to you.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Yes, I'm pointing. Just like Ms. Gilferther used to, God rest her soul, when I was in fifth grade. Daniel, listen. You have no data to back up anything you believe to be true. Nothing. Nothing. You have no data to back up anything you believe to be true. Nothing. Nothing. You have no data on any. Yet you're convinced your view of the world is accurate.
Starting point is 00:05:13 And I'm saying to myself, these people aren't stupid. It can't be that there's 100 million stupid people. It can't be. And I think I've got it. They may not be stupid, but they are suckers. Yeah, I'm sorry, but they are. It's obviously a culture media phenomenon. They have cultural influencers like Arnold Schwarzenegger
Starting point is 00:05:38 and media people who refuse to tell them the truth or are too dumb to figure it out themselves, who have them believing what's not real is real. It is the most cosmic case of gaslighting I've ever seen. Where does it start? Well, you'd think a guy who's benefited most from freedom and liberty and capitalism is Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Starting point is 00:05:55 would have some sense of self-awareness when it comes to the benefit of freedom. Now, here's this numbskull on a show. I think it's the recount or whatever it is. He's on with that uh whatever that that zero from uh the impeachment hearing you know the vinman guy yeah oh you're not allowed to criticize military unless it's mike flynn unless it's my then you can criticize him and call him a traitor right yeah you can stick your rules right up the wazoo
Starting point is 00:06:20 okay your fake phony rules so i i don't know i think he's someone i don't even i don't know i don't know the guy could be his brother or whatever who knows but here's schwarzenegger basically saying hey you know the freedoms i benefited from becoming he's probably close to somewhat of a billionaire at this point definitely worth hundreds of millions right a guy who came here as an immigrant to this country and benefited from the freedoms of the united states who basically tells you to ram your freedoms up your caboose. Check this out. And not just to think about, well, my freedom is being kind of disturbed here. No, screw your freedom.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Because with freedom comes obligations and responsibilities. We cannot just say, I have the right to do X, Y, and Z, when you affect other people. This is really incredible. I know it makes me question everything. It makes me question everything because I can't believe, I don't believe,
Starting point is 00:07:11 that 100 plus million Americans who vote for guys like this, he's not a Republican, he claims to be a total fraud. The guy's a total fake and a phony. I say he's a fake tough guy. He thinks because he made a movie, Commando,
Starting point is 00:07:21 like he's a commando himself. The guy's a loser. The guy is a colossal loser as evidenced by his personal behavior, right? Just ask the maid. A total loser, right? And he's lecturing Americans on freedom, and it's bizarre that he uses the term obligation. Because when we discuss obligations on the left,
Starting point is 00:07:43 I'm sorry, I don't mean to get like, I don't want to get overly deep on this. I'm not trying to wax philosophical, but it's important. When we discuss and the left discusses the declaring of rights, rights that are not in the constitution, they don't ever discuss obligations themselves. Did you notice that? So Arnold Schwarzenegger, just to be clear,
Starting point is 00:08:01 who's a fake phony fraud, is out there saying, hey, your freedoms don't matter because your freedoms may impact me, which by the way applies to every freedom, right? Your freedom to drive on a road could impact someone else as well, if God forbid there's a car accident, correct?
Starting point is 00:08:17 Yeah. There's not a freedom you have that doesn't, your freedom to eat what you want has an impact on everyone else, right? That's what freedom is. Does he not get that? No, of course he doesn't your freedom to eat what you want has an impact on everyone else right that's what freedom is does he not get that no of course he doesn't if you don't eat broccoli every day and choose to eat potato chips 24 hours a day and you have a heart attack without insurance your behaviors impacted me but you're free to do it and we accept that because i accept my freedoms impact you and we hope collectively that the impact of freedom will impose some sense of
Starting point is 00:08:47 personal responsibility. But if it doesn't, it doesn't, we don't then take away freedom because some people aren't responsible. Schwarzenegger isn't deep enough to understand that he's too busy. He's Schwarzenegger is too busy. You know what, whatever hitting on the,
Starting point is 00:09:03 the, the housemate or whatever it was. Because he's a clown. He's a joker and a zero. And he's not deep enough to understand these things. But again, back to my point. He talks about your freedoms don't matter because you have obligations. It's funny.
Starting point is 00:09:17 When they declare the left things like the right to health care, there is no right to health care. The right to food security. There is no right to healthcare. The right to food security. There is no right to food security. There's no rights. Those are not rights in the Constitution. It's weird that they never talk about obligations there. Think about it, right? Say we have the right to healthcare.
Starting point is 00:09:37 You have the right, meaning it's yours. It's yours to take. You have the right to it, correct? That's what that means. And Schwarzenegger's having a tough time right now. He's too busy staring at the maid or whatever, right? Schwarzenegger doesn't get that. If it's a right, that means you canwarzenegger's having a tough time right he's too busy staring at the maid or whatever right schwarzenegger doesn't get that if it's a right that means you can take the health care correct so if it's a right you can walk in the doctor's office not pay and demand to be served because it's a right it's a right correct schwarzenegger hold on give me the easy curl bar he doesn't understand that by declaring health care a right, it's not.
Starting point is 00:10:07 You create an obligation on someone else. A doctor, a hospital worker, a janitor in the hospital provide their services to you free because you've declared it your right, like Prima Nocta from Braveheart. I declare the rights of Prima Nocta that it's not a right. Schwarzenegger is not deep enough to understand any of this. What about the right to food security? You do? So a farmer has to work for free, creating an obligation on him to feed you
Starting point is 00:10:40 whether you choose to work or not and pay him for it. That's your right, right? But notice how he's quick, again, total liberal. He's not even a, forget Republican. The guy's a far left radical Democrat. This loser doesn't understand the idea of rights and obligations because he's never thought any of this through. He's too busy living in his multimillion dollar mansion,
Starting point is 00:11:02 benefiting from the freedoms he now despises so much that's why i question everything like this is a guy who's been relatively savvy in business he failed at the apprentice and the last action hero was a terrible movie he's really been successful at weightlifting and transitioning that into movies the guy can't act to save his life but he's been okay made Made some money in movies. Probably made a couple smart investments here or there. You would think this guy would be less dense than he is. And this is why I wake up questioning everything, because this guy has influence.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Sadly, there are people who respect this buffoon, total buffoon, who listen to this guy. And then you get hundreds of millions of people in this country, potentially, who believe stupid counterproductive policies like anti-liberty, anti-freedom mandates, and the loss of individual rights are an effective path forward because of jerks like this. Screw your freedom. Screw.
Starting point is 00:12:01 We need that as a drop for... Jim, take that. There you go. this is the left but joe you can't play like you got that again screw your freedom this this guy's gonna be immortalized for all the wrong reasons with that from this point it'll be the dude's honey brusco what are you gonna do yeah so speaking of clueless idiots who really, I'm not kidding. I woke up this morning like, am I crazy? Really? Am I nuts?
Starting point is 00:12:29 Because there's no way 100 million people can be this stupid. Am I like, freedom's no good anymore? Here is the chief health officer for NSW in Australia, disgracing herself again, an international, cosmic level, multiverse disgrace from like the Thanos movies in the Infinity Wars, Avengers, and a colossal imbecile who has magically convinced people in Australia, if they don't talk to one another, COVID, which isn't going anywhere forever, is just going to go away and disappear. Listen to this dunce. Check this out. We all need to work together. We need to limit our movements.
Starting point is 00:13:16 We need to consider whenever we leave our house that anyone with us and anyone we come into contact with could convey the virus so whilst it is in human nature to engage in conversation with others to be friendly unfortunately this is not the time to do that so even if you run into your next door neighbor in the shopping center in the Coles washer at Coles Wars or Aldi or any other grocery shop, don't start up a conversation. To my friends in Australia, please ignore this idiot. This woman is an idiot. Is an idiot. She clearly doesn't understand anything about the human immune response, the history of
Starting point is 00:14:06 respiratory viruses. This isn't going anywhere. At the best, at the best circumstance, best case scenario whatsoever, this dunce from NSW there in Australia, this loser, yes, again, this is two days of me being fired up because I can't take the stupid anymore at best will crush the curve to the virus and the spread for a little bit oh damn well you're just admitting she were yes until again society which has to open up people need to eat people need to socialize people need to talk it's part of being human when it opens up you will just get another explosion of this virus it will not She doesn't understand that. So instead of, again, talking to people about protective measures, wash your hands.
Starting point is 00:14:52 If you see someone sick, stay away. Check out a vaccine if your doctor tells you to. Let's do some research into therapeutics and learn to deal with this thing. This idiot, just like Arnold Schwarzenegger, forget the whole freedom thing. It's not working. Let's try to crush the curve. You may. You very well may. But's try to crush the curve. You may. You very well may.
Starting point is 00:15:09 But it is never going to stop. And you are just going to cause later on worse respiratory viruses because people's immune systems are going to lose that trainability it gets from exposure to pathogens. And then you're going to cause an explosion of the coronavirus later because that's what happens. This thing isn't going anywhere. And you stopping it temporarily is not going to stop human beings from interacting with another. I'm sorry you claim to be a health minister and you are too stupid to figure this out. Finally, someone again who gets it. Ron DeSantis in Florida, who seems to be one of the few sane people left. I really I. Here's Ron DeSantis in Florida saying, hey, listen, so you're recommending
Starting point is 00:15:53 taking away freedoms, in other words, the parents to choose what's best for their kids, masks, vaccines, treatments, whatever it may be, schools, you're recommending like Schwarzenegger, this moron taking away people's freedoms and this health minister. Maybe things like masks, which would take away your freedom to choose if you have a mask mandate. It's mandated. You don't have the freedom to choose. That's what a mandate is, right? Leftists,
Starting point is 00:16:16 parents don't have the freedom to choose for their own kids. Ron's like, Governor DeSantis is sitting there like, I know, maybe Ron, like we're having a moment for a coffee. Governor DeSantis is saying here, hey, maybe you should study this. Like we have a $42 billion budget. Maybe we should take a look at what these masks actually do long term. It's interesting that you can.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Here's Ron DeSantis sticking it to these media idiots who, just like Schwarzenegger, parrot the anti-freedom leftist line. Check this out. We think it's ultimately the parents' decision. We think that this is something that intimately affects the health and well-being of young kids. We had a whole year to watch how this is developed in Florida and throughout the United States and throughout the world. And I can tell you in Florida, we had school districts that mandated it last year, others that didn't. Same with private and charter. And there was no statistical difference in terms of the cases. There was a study done by Emily Oster at Brown University, looked at New York, Massachusetts and Florida.
Starting point is 00:17:13 They found no correlation to force masking and differences in cases. But you also have a situation where a lot of parents have come. They've come to me. They've come to the school boards and said, this has been very difficult on their young kids to have to sit there for eight hours with this. It's not natural. It's never been studied what the effects of that are. You know, NIH has a $42 billion budget. They've not spent a single penny since COVID started studying how these mitigations affect kids. $42 billion budget. And no one has thought to say, hey, we're going to demand all our kids
Starting point is 00:17:49 put these masks on their faces. Maybe it's a good idea to see if there's long-term developmental effects from this or even short-term effects from moist masks being worn in the Florida heat for eight hours a day by kids who were designed like human beings to inhale and exhale, to inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Maybe it's not a good idea to interrupt the respiration process in kids without studying that long term. No, they can't do it. You have idiots, idiots like Arnold Schwarzenegger, media people who, because they have double digit IQs and were too stupid to take an actual degree and get actually educated in college, chose journalism instead, dictating to the rest of us, you will wear masks. Shut your mouth. Shut them.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Everyone. You will listen to us. We don't know what happens. We don't know if there's negative ramifications from this long term. Shut your mouth, parents. We know better and the incredible part again why i'm questioning everything this morning how we live with such stupid people folks i gotta tell you it is way past time for a national divorce here
Starting point is 00:18:55 it really is it is this this country is not it it is not a unified collective country anymore. It just isn't. Half of us are really just really stupid or have been gaslit to death, and there's no saving them. None. They don't care if your children get hurt, if your children get sick, if businesses in states go bankrupt, if inflation whittles away the income of seniors
Starting point is 00:19:24 so they're eating potato chips for dinner. They legit don't care. Constitutional protections get wiped away. Big R God-given rights flushed down the toilet. They don't care. They don't care. There has got to be some ideological national divorce coming. Really.
Starting point is 00:19:46 I envision it this way. A shrinking of the federal government. Dramatically. Dramatically. And states just starting to ignore federal edicts. What are they going to do? And for all the liberals having their conniption fits right now, shut your mouths.
Starting point is 00:20:03 I've got no time for you losers, okay? You're the same ones right now cheering on a mutiny in Florida while local school districts ignore the governor and stick a mask on kids' faces against their will. So you can shut up. Shut it. A-holes, shut it.
Starting point is 00:20:24 We believe in the United States. you don't believe in a southern border shut it shut your mouths you have no credibility we lay i openly mock you shrink the federal government to its strict constitutional role military post roads taxes duties impost and excises that's it get rid of all of their social welfare programs and let the states do what they were entitled to do under a genuine system of federalism there's got to be some national divorce we can't continue like this liberals are nuts they do not believe in anything that will lead anything that will lead us to any kind of future prosperity. They are the very definition of nihilists. All we can do is escape these crazy
Starting point is 00:21:11 people. Move to states that respect freedom and liberty. Get away from these nutbags. They are nuts. They are not genuinely decent people. They are not. Either that or they are really stupid. And I don't believe that. Get away from them. Worse off is they cause these problems. I'm going to show you this in a minute. The children being hospitalized. What if I told you
Starting point is 00:21:39 that the liberals push for lockdowns and all this other stuff, which are happening almost exclusively in liberal states, may have caused a dreaded increase in children's hospitalization what if i told you that interesting hypothesis coming up in a second don't miss it a quick break here hey listen up everyone for only a limited time uh all first time genu cell orders are 50 off during their summer blowout sale online orders only for the first time in history, you get 50% off packages, including GenuCell for under eye bags and puffiness.

Starting point is 00:23:00 universe with these people and some form of a national divorce and a shrinking federal government and actual federalism is the only path forward. We need to get away from these maniacs because they cause a bunch of problems and then run away and blame it on other people, destroying the country in the process. Dan Horowitz has an incredible piece of the blaze. I can't encourage you in strong enough terms to read it. Be available in my newsletter today, bongino.com slash newsletter. Horowitz, the blaze. Are children in the hospital for RSV, not COVID, because of the lockdowns? By the way, I'll add that the liberals wanted.
Starting point is 00:23:34 So the very same liberals who may be causing a bunch of children to be hospitalized because of their lockdown policies are now using the children in the hospital as a reason to impose more lockdowns and the same mask mandates that didn't work in the first place. This is amazing. Liberals, they push for policies that get your legs cut off, the unbroken leg fallacy, and then in order to cure the cut-off leg,
Starting point is 00:23:59 they bring in a razor and cut the rest of your arms off too, and they're like, hey, look at us. We really helped you out there get away from these crazy people as soon as you can as soon as you can
Starting point is 00:24:14 here from Dan Horowitz's piece you ever heard of RSV RSV is a childhood respiratory virus it's quite common. Happens to a lot of kids. And as you can see from this chart, if you're watching on Rumble,
Starting point is 00:24:29 I'll just explain it to you if you're not, that kids who usually get RSV, this is courtesy of a site called BioFire, they're experiencing right now a massive out-of-season surge in cases of RSV. It's a respiratory virus in kids, which is actually outpacing COVID in terms of the positivity rate in lab tests. Anyone can get RSV, but it's usually only dangerous to
Starting point is 00:24:52 some infants and young children. According to the CDC, 58,000 children are hospitalized every year from the virus. We already know that the RSV virus is raging, particularly strong in the South, and that hospitals are already reporting an unnatural surge in pediatric RSV cases. But. Now, as Horowitz explains, given that kids were in lockdown for as long as they were and many of them were not exposed to other kids and the normal viral load a kid in the course of a normal social interaction setting would be exposed to, that the kids' immune systems are not being trained like an immune system is to recognize pathogens. Therefore, now that the lockdowns, thank you, Lord, I'm not using his name in vain, have ended because even liberals had heard it, stupid liberals had heard it from their neighbors and friends. The lockdowns ended.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Kids went back out again. Now we're seeing an explosion again in this virus that we typically see at a lower level. You can see the charts for yourself. This explosion of the virus has been, it's the same reason the nsw chief health officer is a moron you may have suppressed rsv but there's no it's not going anywhere it exists on planet earth and then the minute the kids get out with an untrained immune system you see an explosion in these infections now what does this have to do with covid well because liberals are some of the dumbest or easily manipulated people on planet earth and all they want to do is COVID? Well, because liberals are some of the dumbest or easily manipulated people on
Starting point is 00:26:26 planet earth. And all they want to do is screw your kids over, keep them out of school and stick them in a mask against their will because they are losers and tyrants. They're actually using kids in hospitals as a reason for more lockdowns, which may have been causing the kids in hospitals. And here's the catch. What does this have to do with COVID? Kids going to the hospital with RSV, because it can be serious in children, this respiratory virus, may be picking up COVID in the hospital. And then testing positive for COVID. So just to be clear, liberals promote lockdowns because they hate you and your business.
Starting point is 00:27:07 And again, they're either the dumbest people on the planet or they're manipulated by dunces like Arnold Schwarzenegger and his easy curl bar, right? Still busy checking out the maid, Schwarzenegger, loser. They get manipulated because they're not bright enough to figure out they're being manipulated or they're liars. They impose lockdowns on students. Students come home. The viral load is suppressed for a little while because they're not interacting with other kids. The kid's immune system, therefore, suffers
Starting point is 00:27:33 because they're not exposed to a normal viral load to teach their immune system to deal with pathogens. The lockdowns then end, which they will have to end, like the Australians don't get because the NSW chief health officer is too stupid to figure that out. People go out again. They then get exposed to viruses they weren't exposed to before. And because their immune systems haven't had a viral load to train it,
Starting point is 00:27:52 people get sick and the kids almost instantly. The kids then pile into hospitals where in the hospitals, they're catching COVID because they're mixed with people in the hospital because they have COVID. And then the liberals use the kids in hospitals who are testing positive for COVID for an excuse to impose more of what got the kids in the hospital because they have COVID. And then the liberals use the kids in hospitals who are testing positive for COVID for an excuse to impose more of what got the kids in the hospital in the first place. Holy crikeys, are we dealing with the dumbest people
Starting point is 00:28:13 on planet Earth? Here, part two of the Dan Horowitz piece. The latest CDC surveillance data on COVID hospitalization seems to harmonize with the theory that they're counting RSV admissions as COVID. There's the chart right there. You know, data science, you idiots on the left. Says, as you can see, while pediatric hospitalizations have gone up, they're still below the winter levels.
Starting point is 00:28:39 And nobody suggested back then that kids were flooding the hospitals with illness. However, notice that the zero to four cohort spiked quicker than the five to 17 cohort this is what we would expect to see if rsv not covid is the main driver of the hospitalizations i can't with these people i can't my gosh we can't engage in a national divorce soon enough. Please get away from these idiots as soon as you can. For your own safety. These are the dumbest people on planet Earth or the most manipulative.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Here, one more, and then we got to move on. I got a lot more to get to, including pictures, some pics I was given by an insider who you can trust from the border showing you we don't have a border. I have more, but in the interest of not getting someone exposed, I've only kept, I've been given permission, but I'm only going to show you two. They're bad.
Starting point is 00:29:39 That's coming up. But I want to get to this story. Then I'm going to get to my third sponsor, and then we'll get to that. Axios this morning, Caitlin Owens, again, in the newsletter. New data on coronavirus vaccine effectiveness may be a wake-up call. What did we find out? Maybe, according to the new data, that the Pfizer vaccine, which, again, I've always been honest with you, I got.
Starting point is 00:29:59 I have lymphoma. It was on the advice of a doctor. You, please, do you. Do not take my word for it or anybody else's. You are your own unique medical situation that are smart enough to figure it out yourself. I'm not pushing or not pushing anything. I'm suggesting by putting up this piece
Starting point is 00:30:15 that this new data shows that, again, the people who are called conspiracy theorists about the virus, suggesting it might not work as well as advertised, weren't crazy in the first place. The Pfizer vaccine, again, appears now only 42% effective in preventing infection, more effective in preventing hospitalizations and deaths. Moderna appears 76% effective in preventing infections. Not failures, but certainly not what was promised.
Starting point is 00:30:46 But again, because ScrewTube, Facebook, liberal totalitarians who want to stick a mask on your kid because they just don't get it and don't understand freedom and liberty told you to shut your mouth when people said, you know, maybe we should hold on the virus and vaccine stuff until we kind of get a better data set. You would call, I need new conspiracy
Starting point is 00:31:14 theories, folks, because all the old ones are coming true. We need new ones. Screw your freedom. Yeah, you're darn, that's exactly what he believes. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Folks, I need a good night's sleep.
Starting point is 00:31:33 I have been really worn out over the stupidity of the last week. I promised you resolution on that thing with Fox 2. I will have an answer for you by tomorrow, I promise. I did not forget about it, and I promised you I wouldn't. But I've got a lot going on. A good night's sleep has been key to me. Last night, I had a deep sleep last night.

That's like a record for me. I have never been in that kind of deep sleep. I've just been exhausted. Been on the phone all week dealing with multiple things at the same time,
Starting point is 00:33:37 including one quick note. I didn't even put this in. I want to welcome to Rumble. You know I'm an investor in Rumble, so disclosure again, you're owed that. I'm an investor in Rumble. It is the free speech alternative to YouTube. It has been exploding. I want to welcome on board the platform Tulsi Gabbard. Again, not my party. She's a Democrat.
Starting point is 00:33:56 I don't vote for Democrats or support Democrats, but I do support their right to speak. And Tulsi Gabbard, you know, on a lot of issues, we see eye to eye. On the majority, we don't. But on some, we do. Welcome, Tulsi Gabbard. She respects free speech, too. She's got an account in Rumble now. You might want to check that out. All right. I got these pics from a trusted, unimpeachable contact who is very familiar with the border and a very good friend of mine. These are actual
Starting point is 00:34:26 pictures from the border. Ladies and gentlemen, what I've been told from this contact is it is getting really, really, really bad. Really bad. Here is just one. I was sent many pictures in the interest of time. I'm only posting a few. These cages, by the way, remember when Trump, the Trump cages, Joe, remember that one? There was a picture of the Trump, it wasn't even the Trump cages, they were built by Obama.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Yeah, the media lost, left that out of the story. Remember that was like a, what was it, like a three month scandal? The Trump cages, the Trump, meanwhile, the cages were actually built by Obama. Well, this is interesting. No, I don't see anyone talking about the Biden cages. These are pretty exclusive photos I was given.
Starting point is 00:35:07 But there you go. I see cages right there. I see cages and I see a whole lot of people. So we have coronavirus, the Delta variant we've been told is going to kill us. Wait, go back to that initial one here. And I see people stacked up, stacked up. There you go. One, two, three, four, five, six.
Starting point is 00:35:21 Meanwhile, this picture's not even that big. There's probably upwards of 20 to 30 people stacked together in this photo. But yeah, just keep listening to the fact checkers that no, no, no. Delta variant doesn't spread in the Biden cages. It doesn't happen. It is not contributing at all to the spread of the Delta variant. Again, I woke up this morning. Can we live? Is it possible to get away from these stupid people that they think we're that dumb? Yeah, no, no, no. The Delta variant doesn't affect any of these, but that's spreading anything. And they don't know we're laughing at them. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:47 Oh, sure. Just shut up. Just shut up. Seriously. Nobody takes you seriously. Here's another picture. Actually,
Starting point is 00:35:54 again, from an unimpeachable source down there who doesn't even care, by the way, if they go after him, because he's like, all right, I'll just be a whistleblower. Then remember the left was supposed to protect whistleblowers.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Remember that Joe, you couldn't even name the whistleblower. Well, go after this guy. Let's, let's make be a whistleblower then. Remember the left? We're supposed to protect whistleblowers. Remember that, Joe? You couldn't even name the whistleblower. Well, go after this guy. Let's make him a whistleblower. Let's see how the left responds. Here is the border that's supposed to be closed. If you're not watching this on Rumble,
Starting point is 00:36:16 please check it out, folks. These are pretty exclusive photos. Rumble.com slash Bongino. You can skip ahead to like the 35 mark. You don't need to watch the whole thing over again. But if you're listening on, please go to Rumble. I want you to see this too.
Starting point is 00:36:26 What is it? It is the border. There's a partial fence there. The fence is open. And we have one, two, three, four, five, gosh, I don't know, a hundred people in line, kids, backpacks, everything, just waiting to come in. You're saying to yourself, is that a port of entry?
Starting point is 00:36:40 No, it's not. No, it is not legal to cross the border there. It is legal to cross the border at a port of entry. Assuming you have the right documentation, you're a citizen of the United States here on business. You have your or you have some kind of visa or something like that. This is not legal, but it happens. So, again, please tell me how we have a border. I'll wait. We have a border. It's right there on the line.
Starting point is 00:37:04 You can see the woman in the front. There's the border. And she's just walking across it into the United States. But don't worry. No Delta variant. We know that. These are immigrants from Central America or Mexico and from all over the world. They don't get the Delta variant. It's only people in Texas and those dirty, deplorable U.S. citizens. Us, the filthies and the smellies. What's that? Just like who? What do you mean Obama's party? Oh, Obama's party. Oh, yeah, yeah. They're immune too. Good point, Guy. I forgot that for a second. Yes.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Obama's party, they're immune too. Immigrants are people who went to Obama's party. Yes, good point. I missed what you were saying. Guy's absolutely correct, Joe. If you went to Obama's party, you have immunity for life, along with illegal immigrants. If you enter at a port of entry legally, you are not immune. Matter of fact, you're a transmitter of the virus because the Canadian border shut down. Did you know that? Southern border, everyone's immune. Everyone
Starting point is 00:37:57 has some kind of like X-Men-like mutation in their chromosome. And you, in fact, cannot get it. Listen, fact checkers, that's, that's called sarcasm. Fact checkers, that's sarcasm. You understand? Sarcasm. You get that? Because the fact, I can see the fact checkers already at that scam site, lead stories. Oh my God. These morons at lead stories, the dumbest people on planet Earth who all found themselves at Lead Stories. Whenever you see a thing from Lead Stories, whatever they say, the fact check, their conclusion is, I assure you the opposite is true.
Starting point is 00:38:35 I assure you every time. I didn't have a lot of high hopes for today's show, but I got to tell you, I'm feeling good about it halfway through because I really am not in the mood today for BS. That's good, babe. All right, moving on. Do they have a lot more to get? Thank you. Thank you. My aunt used to tell me, God rest her soul, self-praise things. But you know, I, sometimes I wake up in the morning and I'm like, we going to go there? Are we not? I don't, yes, we're going there today. Quick note, Gavin Newsom is in real trouble. Gavin Newsom, the failed governor of California,
Starting point is 00:39:06 had a total meltdown yesterday. Lost it in front of the press, cursing like a crazed lunatic. Listen, I got a bad temper. I get it. I'm not one to criticize people for cursing. Understand that. That's not what I have an issue with. He just lies in the footage.
Starting point is 00:39:21 He's like, yeah, you know, we built back 500,000 jobs. Yeah, it's a lie by omission. He leaves out that they've lost a million. That's net negative 500,000. But Gavin Newsom can't do math. Folks, you got to get out and vote. The 10-10-10 rule's in effect. The recall election in California is in September.
Starting point is 00:39:39 If you're not voting, then I'm sorry. You forfeited your right to speak in public conversations about the governorship. You have. You had the right to speak to a vote. You didn't take it. You got to vote. 10-10-10. Call 10 friends and tell them to vote. Send 10 emails to friends. Tell them to vote and make 10 Facebook, Twitter, whatever, Parler, Getter, Gab,
Starting point is 00:39:57 whatever post you have to do. 10-10-10. You got to do it. Reminding everyone to vote. Tell them how to do it too. Where to go, where to get the ballots. Can't sit on the sidelines. No excuses. We get rid of gavin newsom it'll be an earthquake in politics you know who's in a lot of trouble too hunter biden who seems to be always in trouble now zero more disgusting human being on planet earth and again folks please i have been more than sympathetic as joe and gee and justin and the whole production team knows to people who are addicts i have because i have them in my family. And I don't think addiction is funny.
Starting point is 00:40:28 It's not a topic to be made fun of. Matter of fact, I don't like when people stigmatize addicts. I've said repeatedly, these are human beings. They're suffering with a problem. It is a real problem. Many of them are struggling through it. They are children of God too and deserve some respect. That does not mean, though, if you're an addict, you can,
Starting point is 00:40:46 I don't even know how to have this conversation because it's a family friendly show. You can do things with prostitutes. And no, I'm not talking about like UFC stuff. You know, you have different positions. Because some of the pictures of Hunter Biden, you're like, is that a UFC match? Is that a warmup?
Starting point is 00:40:59 No, that's Hunter Biden with a prostitute. Oh my gosh. Yeah, is that even possible? Is that a leg? What is that? Is that a wing? Reminds me of Joe Pesci in Goodfellas. I got a leg. I got an arm. I with a process. Oh my gosh. Is that even possible? Is that a leg? What is that? Is that a wing? Reminds me of Joe Pesci in Goodfellas. I got a leg.
Starting point is 00:41:08 I got a arm. I got a wing. Like, what is that? That does not excuse Hunter Biden, because he is an addict, from being a loser. And Hunter Biden is a loser. Matter of fact, he is a loser, again, of intergalactic proportions, who has become an embarrassment to the United States. Can you imagine having a foreign leader
Starting point is 00:41:26 from whatever, Kroplakistan or whatever it is, and say the guy's the prime minister and his son shows up once a week in photos that look like he's wrestling in a UFC match with a prostitute where you can't even figure out where the limbs are. Can you imagine for a moment? This is our disgraced president,
Starting point is 00:41:43 this epic failure of a human being and his son who he keeps telling us is the smartest guy around daily mail longest headlines ever of course story will be in the show notes today this is hunter biden on a leaked tape they got their hold of they got a hold of the daily mail hunter biden apparently said the Russians have videos of me doing crazy effing sex. Hunter Biden is seen in unearthed footage telling a prostitute that a Russian drug, Russian drug dealer stole another of his laptops. I saw a meme on the internet this morning. Remember Oprah, you get a car, you get a car, you get a car. Maybe it was Hunter Biden's face on Oprah. You get a laptop, you get a laptop, you get everybody gets a,
Starting point is 00:42:30 this guy's got more laptops. He's an international embarrassment. So the Daily Mail not only has long headlines, they have even longer sub headlines. But the nice part is you don't have to read the piece. You just have to read the bullet points. I'm just going to go through a few of them. Here's who, right?
Starting point is 00:42:43 You don't even need to read. You get through the bullet points, you're all good. Here's just a few about this disgusting piece of filth, Hunter Biden. Apparently, the video of Hunter obtained by the Daily Mail shows Hunter with a naked hooker in 2019. Like, 2019, that was just a couple years ago. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. When apparently he knew his dad was going to run for president.
Starting point is 00:43:01 Doesn't care. He's with naked hookers at a hotel room. Filmed a sex tape with the hooker. Like, I can't even read this. This is incredible. This guy's dad is running for president and he's filming sex tapes with hookers. And he tells the hooker on the tape how he believes the laptop was stolen. Like, is this the dumbest human being on planet earth? Guys, ladies, even if you can't stop your sexual impulses from filming a sex tape, maybe cut the tape before you explain to the hooker how another laptop was stolen by the Russians. Just an idea. And this is Joe Biden. Joe Biden says, Joe, Joe Biden says, Hunter's the smartest guy he knows. I believe that. I believe that's correct.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Because Joe Biden doesn't know anyone who's smart. He probably hangs out with Arnold Schwarzenegger, too. Too busy staring at the mirror. What's that? Yeah, exactly. Justin says, the bar's not high. The bar's not high. So you're right.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Hunter probably is the smartest guy he knows. It goes on. Hunter left the camera rolling as he recounted a Las Vegas bender in which he spent 18 days going from penthouse suite penthouse suite. This is unreal. It says the incident means Hunter lost a total of three computers, each which may hold sensitive information on President Joe Biden. This is just great. This is just wonderful.
Starting point is 00:44:32 We got an entire international audience out there of foreign enemies in the United States with nuclear weapons that probably have embarrassing emails about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden practicing UFC moves with prostitutes in Las Vegas on a bed. This is great. This is absolutely one. And the Democrats love it. So does Schwarzenegger. The laptops contain embarrassing pictures, videos and communications. They have videos of me doing this. The crazy sex thing. You know, he says.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Hunter's claims also raise the possibility he was targeted as a vulnerable conduit to Joe Biden as part of a foreign intelligence operation. Folks, this is the president's son. This guy is either so morally corrupt that he cannot even control himself from making sex tapes and videotape confessions in front of prostitutes in Las Vegas about Russians, or, and I believe that he is simply one of the stupidest human beings to ever, ever go from a zygote to a functioning human being. There's
Starting point is 00:45:27 just no other explanation. There just isn't. There's not another explanation here. Why do I say that? I've traveled a lot. My prior line of work traveled a lot, a lot. It was on the road all the time to the point where my daughter, my oldest, who was young at the time, would freak out whenever the suitcase came out. But whenever you traveled to a foreign country, if you were say a lead advance for the secret service or something like that, didn't matter if you were any of you were a poststandard,
Starting point is 00:45:53 it didn't make a difference. As soon as you got on the ground in that foreign country, you would meet with an ARSO from the diplomatic security service, DSS. They work for us, they work for the State Department. They're like the Secret Service of the State Department, just keeping it simple, right? It stands for Assistant Regional Security Officer. Sometimes you'd meet with the RSO, the guy in charge, the boss, the regional security officer. And they'd sit you down in a room, usually a SCIF,
Starting point is 00:46:20 Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facility, where nobody can hear you. You know, they got the white noise machines and everything and they would take a book out and in the book they'd say to you you know you're traveling over here you realize you're a target for foreign intel right and of course you've unless you were an idiot you're an agent you go yeah of course well let me show you some pictures just to scare you into not doing anything stupid they'd open a book and the faces would be blacked out, but they'd be businessmen from overseas in bedrooms with videos like Hunter Biden. You're like, gosh, what is that? Is that again? Is that a north south position in the UFC? No, that's not. That's a businessman with a hooker in Russia. Really weird. Faces would be blacked out and they'd say this is businessman Jones from company ZTY. He was bribed after coming
Starting point is 00:47:07 to Russia because he's married with three kids and decided he was going to engage in some activities with Russian prostitutes. You get this briefing so many times. The smart guys learn not to be stupid. The stupid guys do stupid stuff, right? Unfortunately. Wrote about it in my first book. unfortunately, wrote about it in my first book. Stupid guys do dumb stuff. How stupid do you have to be to not even be an entry-level Secret Service agent, but to be the son of the potential president of the United States, former vice president,
Starting point is 00:47:36 to be in a hotel room with a hooker on tape, filming yourself and explaining how you're a blackmail target? Folks, seriously, for a moment, I'm not kidding. I'm asking you to put your politics aside and just digest what I just said. How stupid do you have to be to do that? You had entry-level FBI and Secret Service guys who figured it out. Some didn't.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Some who I know didn't, and their lives were ruined. How dumb do you have to be to be Hunter Biden? All right, let me get to my last sponsor. And then an important article is DJT, Donald J. Trump running again in 2024. I know we beat this question to death. I told you I'm convinced he is, but there's some more information that's come out there. Stay tuned. Don't go anywhere. Our final sponsor today, our good friends at BrickHouse Nutrition.
Starting point is 00:48:29 Folks, they were my original sponsor. Love these guys. I'm not going anywhere. They're going to be with me forever because I love them. I asked them to create this product. It's Field of Greens. Why? Because candidly, sometimes with cooking, I'm super lazy.

I just, I'm not a good cook. It's terrible. My food is awful. And cooking vegetables is hard. And sometimes with fruits, they're perishable. My wife just got a whole bunch of bananas inside. I haven't eaten them.

So yeah, I read this this morning and this comports with what I've been hearing from a lot of people on the inside that obviously Donald J. Trump is interested in running again in 2024. The question is, is that interest going to segue into an actual run? Article in the Washington Examiner by Paul Bedard writes some good stuff.
Starting point is 00:50:32 It'll be in my newsletter today. Try to get it up at BonginoReport.com as well. Trump world sees a growing wave behind another run in 2024. Folks, Trump world is an interesting phenomenon. People within Trump world call it Trump world because Trump world is occupied by a number of people who support the president, some who claim to and some who try to grift off it.
Starting point is 00:50:55 It's sad, but Trump world has a lot of loyalists and a lot of people who really believe he's the guy. The key to understanding Trump world is understanding who the loyalists are and getting the grifters out. And sadly, there are a lot of grifters who pretend to like the president because there's a check in it for them. And then the minute they could sell them out, they do it. But here's an interesting portion of the piece I think you should read. So Paul Bedard made contact with some insiders from
Starting point is 00:51:25 Trump World. Others said Trump has recently lost some weight. He feels good. I think it's because he's golfing a lot. I mean, he does look good. He said he feels good and is engaged in current issues. He's especially watchful of Biden's efforts to tear down his legacy and spoil policies the Republican Party believes are winners, such as immigration. An insider said he's getting stronger and stronger as each day passes. The enthusiasm is not dwindling at all. It's amazing. Folks, I agree. I'm not giving up any inside information about my conversations with the president or his people at all. I won't do that. We never betray their trust. But that is accurate. He looks good. He feels good. He sounds good. I think he's digested a lot of what's
Starting point is 00:52:05 happening and he's ready and refreshed for a 2024 run. I think he's going to check out what happens in 2022. But my guess, again, I'm not betraying any confidences here. My guess is there's a 90 plus percent chance you're going to see him back in the race in 2024. Okay, moving on because this is important and I didn't get to it yesterday. Folks, I know we haven't covered a lot of economics lately, but we should. This is a big deal. I know economics is called the dismal science for a reason, but it's not so dismal when it affects your wallet. You have to understand what's going on right now.
Starting point is 00:52:35 Inflation is a lot of problems, a lot of economic problems. However, the biggest economic problem right now, triaging our wants and needs, things we have to handle, is inflation. Joe Biden doesn't care at all. I'll get to that in a second. Numbers that came out this week are so deeply disturbing that if you're not paying attention,
Starting point is 00:52:52 this is going to kick you right in the face. Washington Examiner, Zach Halashak. Annual inflation's hovering at a 5.4% rate in July amid overheating fears. Folks, even worse, at an annualized rate using the July numbers, inflation's hovering around 8.5, measured out towards the end of the year if it stays on this current track. Folks, that is a huge number, a huge number, if this doesn't slow down.
Starting point is 00:53:23 huge number if this doesn't slow down. 5.4% is a big deal. Why isn't it a big deal to the White House? Because the White House, as I opened up the beginning of the show, does not care. They don't care. That's why I said to you, I'm beginning to question everything. Like, am I wrong?
Starting point is 00:53:46 I've grown up in my economics training and my business school degree. Never cite your education, but sorry. Necessary just for that. I was trained even by liberal professors to believe inflation's a very pernicious phenomenon that can destroy people's ability to consume products and stay alive. That was considered axiomatic. Now it's strange.
Starting point is 00:54:05 Biden knows we're in an, the numbers don't lie, we're in a severe inflation crisis. Not just a mild one, a severe one. And Biden doesn't care one bit. You doubt me? Washington Examiner,
Starting point is 00:54:15 another headline. Naomi Lin. Biden downplays inflation concerns as far as the far left pushes for more spending. So inflation everywhere, hat tip Milton Friedman, is a monetary phenomenon.
Starting point is 00:54:30 Why do prices go up? They go up because more money is chasing the same or fewer products. It's not hard to figure out. If more money is chasing the same products, the cost of the products goes up because there's more money chasing the products. Liberals I know, like Joe Biden, are scratching their heads right now.
Starting point is 00:54:49 They're not. Joe Biden gets it. He's just a dishonest hack with a corrupt son who is committed to destroying the economy because the left told him to. He's a weak, pathetic, disturbed human being who should be impeached immediately. But what's the problem with inflation or growing prices? The irony of inflation is your money is actually deflated. The inflation refers to the prices that go up, but the value of your money actually goes down. Deflated, like Hunter Biden's family-friendly show.
Starting point is 00:55:24 We'll get to that another day. From the Wall Street Journal, showing you that inflation punishes the working class. Inflation, by the way, the poor and the super rich can be somewhat protected from inflation. It's the middle class, the Democrats, who always lie all the time, always. They tell you, oh, we're here for the
Starting point is 00:55:45 middle class and the working guy. Inflation punishes the middle class. So the Democrats, again, are telling you one thing and then destroying your life. We're the middle class party. Tolerance coexists. We love the middle class. Working class Joe, the Scranton kid. They are destroying your life and you're taking it because you're a liberal and you believe anything these people tell you. You doubt me? Read this piece in the Wall Street Journal today by Phil Graham and Mike Salon. They do great work on the economic stuff. Inflation punishes the unprotected. The government shields its employees and beneficiaries, but not ordinary workers from higher prices. Folks, the seventh largest government program, Social Security, SNAP, S-CHIP, Medicaid, the
Starting point is 00:56:31 seven largest, I almost said Joe Biden, the seven largest government programs are indexed for inflation. Meaning what? As prices go up, the government measures them and increases the benefits to people who use those government programs. Those people are largely poor or lower middle class. The rich are protected against inflation because they can buy tips, bonds. They can buy stocks where inflation will be reflected in the value of the stock at some point. So who gets screwed by inflation? If the poor are protected because government indexing and the rich can protect themselves in many cases, who gets screwed by inflation? If the poor are protected because government indexing and the rich can protect themselves in many cases,
Starting point is 00:57:06 who gets screwed? Someone's got to get hurt. Always the middle class. Always you. Your income's going down while you work and don't collect this portfolio of government benefits. You doubt me? Here are numbers, facts, data.
Starting point is 00:57:21 Believe me, Biden has this. He doesn't care. He hates you. He doesn't care if you're a working man or woman. Average weekly earnings since January are up $15.59. Oh, that sounds good. Weekly earnings are up. But with inflation surging to levels not seen since the early 1980s,
Starting point is 00:57:38 real weekly wages, in other words, what you can actually use to buy stuff, are down $8.99. Not up. That's the largest real dollar drop in wages since the BLS data was first collected in 2006. By comparison, real wages have fallen more in the past seven months under Biden than they rose in the final 27 months
Starting point is 00:58:03 of the Obama presidency. Keep voting Democrat, folks. Are you oblivious to this? I'm not kidding. Are you oblivious? Do you hate Republicans so much that you're willing to lose your paycheck every week, the purchasing power of your paycheck every week to grind you into poverty to make a point. Are you really that dumb? You can't be that stupid. I opened up the show and I'll say it
Starting point is 00:58:31 again. 140 million of you can't be this stupid. You can't. You could be nihilistic, sadomasochistic, sadomasochistic, but you can't be this stupid. That you're grinding away your prosperity and your purchasing power just because you like a guy with a cognitive disorder in the White House with a son who bangs hookers in Vegas and then records it. You can't be this stupid. Of course, it gets worse. But I told you about the working class, folks. You're the ones getting hammered. Quote from the piece.
Starting point is 00:59:08 Today, those not working are largely protected from inflation. They get government benefits. Those who are working, however, see inflation erode the value of their wages. Their life savings also suffer as inflation eats into the purchasing power of their savings accounts. With a one-year certificate of deposit earning roughly 0.2%, a $50,000 nest egg has lost almost $2,000 of purchasing power just in the past seven months.
Starting point is 00:59:36 But we don't like Trump's retweets. Idiots. I'm telling you, idiots. Idiots. All right, I'm going to have to get to this on the radio show. I had some stuff about Bill Cassidy again, who I've been relentless on because he's such a buffoon, this alleged Republican senator from Louisiana, but I'll get to that later on the radio show. Folks, thanks again for tuning in. I really appreciate it. We'll have resolution for you tomorrow. Did not forget. I will not let you forget. I will not let me forget. I don't gloss
Starting point is 01:00:04 over problems. We take responsibility here. This is a conservative show that stands by conservative values and conservatives. When they do something wrong or screw it up, they take responsibility. We're not snowflakes. We're not victims. We're not liberals here. And I appreciate your loyalty to the show throughout. I'll see you all tomorrow. You just heard Dan Bongino.
