Starting point is 00:00:00 Dan Bongino. All the Sanders supporters love throwing bombs at me, and I throw them right back. I'm not here to pull any punches, right? The Dan Bongino Show. This is the great irony of conservatism. Even liberals win under conservatism. Get ready to hear the truth about America. Are you suggesting you're that stupid that other people can run your lives better than you can,
Starting point is 00:00:24 even though the cost and quality of what they buy, quote, for you doesn't even matter to them? On a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. All right. Welcome to the Renegade Republican with Dan Bongino. Producer Joe, how are you today? I'm doing well, Dan. Good to be with you this week. Yeah, it's good to be back. Thank you for all your concern. Thank you for the Facebook messages, for those watching on Facebook Live, the Twitter messages, the emails.
Starting point is 00:00:48 We're down here in Florida, as you can see behind me, there is some sunlight coming in. Well, maybe you can't have to zoom out the camera a bit, but for those of you watching, yeah, the sun came out. Thank God. I mean, literally, thank God. It feels good to see the sun down here in Florida. It wasn't too
Starting point is 00:01:03 bad on my side. My friends on the West Coast got beat up pretty good. To those in Sanibel and Marco Island and in the West Coast, Naples, Cape Coral, Benita, that area where I ran for Congress, God bless you. You're going to need some strength. They got hit pretty hard over there. And in Miami, they got hit pretty hard as well. So a lot to talk
Starting point is 00:01:25 about a lot going on also uh september 11th today i'll talk a little bit about that um later but i just wanted to get to some stories because i want to get right back into the show um here we go folks you know the left even in times of horrible tragedy they just can't joe they just they just can't stop themselves. And again, for those of you who listen to the show and wonder what fuels my seemingly endless anger at liberals, this is it. So this is unquestionably a national tragedy, folks. What happened with Harvey and Irma. I mean, this thing hit the whole state.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Now, my area, I'll post some pictures on Instagram. My street was flooded, knocked down a few trees, a little bit of damage, but nothing that bad. But the entire state of Florida took some kind of a hit somewhere from wind or rain or flooding, whatever it is. This is going to be a multi-billion dollar disaster. Some people on the West Coast are going to be wiped out. Some people in the Keys were wiped out. You have people in Houston still not even close to recovered, not even close. Some of them probably still have water in their homes in Houston and a lot of it. And what's the left doing? Again, with the climate change narrative, it's sickening.
Starting point is 00:02:35 It is absolutely, it makes me want to retch. It's so disgusting what they're doing. So what's the genesis of this? Because we talked about it. Why am I bringing this up again well some guy i've never heard of at all um but he's got a lot of followers on twitter some guy michael ian black you ever heard of this guy joe no never heard of him i haven't either he's got two million followers on twitter he's a liberal which you know means he's a kook and you know most of the time and unfortunately proved this right so he sent out a
Starting point is 00:03:02 tweet over the weekend i went after him as people did, because it was just so outrageous. And the gist of the tweet was that, you know, in light of what's going on with all of these hurricanes right now, it's refreshing to know something that one party does not believe in science, of course, talking about Republicans. Here we go again, folks. Here we go again. They cannot control themselves.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Joe, they can't control themselves. The left is absolutely convinced that they are so sick in the head that they think as people. I mean, listen, the problem with yesterday's storm with us over here on the East Coast wasn't that it was particularly acute. It's that it was chronic. You know, we only had gusts over here, like 60, 70 mile an hour gusts, but it went on for like 20 hours. So I lost a few trees. No big deal. The power, thankfully, is still up so I can get this show on the air for you all.
Starting point is 00:03:51 But, you know, this is not a good thing, okay? There's tons of lost productivity. People can't go to their jobs. And you got this imbecile on the left putting out a tweet saying that the Republican Party doesn't believe in science. It doesn't stop there. You may say, oh, who's this guy? He's a dope. No one knew who he was.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Why do you even care? Well, he got humiliated on social media badly, by the way. I mean, it's just the onslaught has just been overwhelming because people are so disgusted by this creep. But Politico put out a piece. Now, they don't call Politico Bull-ico. You can figure out the rest. They don't call it that for bull echo you can you can figure out the they don't call it that for nothing politico put out a piece as well harvey is what climate change looks like okay so now the narrative here remember people are still getting the water out of their houses
Starting point is 00:04:38 in houston and still undergoing they're still in the midst of this in florida the left doesn't give you a second a second to recover they're already over that how do we make this work for us politically let's blame it on climate change so you have politico you have this michael ian black guy who i i think on this show he's gotten more pr than he's gotten in years because i've never heard of the guy then you have this one joe this is a doozy brad johnson who is the executive director of the climate hawks vote who believes now that we should start jailing public officials jailing who quote reject science after this yeah right in jail joe right in jail throw them right throw them right in the slammer right in the clink throw
Starting point is 00:05:17 away the key all right so i got you know that i have to waste your time again. Debunking the stupid liberal myths is an insult to everyone. But unfortunately, we have to do it because the left just never. They're sick, sick, deranged people. So here we go. Daily Signal has a piece out today. I'll put in the show notes. Always available at Bongino.com. If you want to go there, show notes are there.
Starting point is 00:05:41 I will also email them to you if you subscribe to my email list, which has a big tab on my website. It says join email list. So I will send these articles right to you. It's a really good one. The Daily Signal article today, climate scientist or Roger Pilkey tweeted a graph from his paper showing Joe, no trends in global tropical cyclone landfalls over the past 46 years. No trends.
Starting point is 00:06:06 So again, the leftist premise that Harvey and Irma, now there's been a tragedy. We need to leverage this into a political, instead of helping people, don't help folks. Just let's worry about my narrative. My narrative, man. It's all about the narrative, okay? This is all due to climate change.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Again, this guy Pilkey tweeted a graph showing no trends in global tropical cyclone landfalls over the past 46 years. In other words, no trend. Climate change has nothing to do with it. You're just making it up. Okay, you'd say, oh, well, that's not enough. So what? There's no trends. Maybe there's a micro trend.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Somebody missed. Okay, so from the Daily Signal piece statistician and danish author bjorn lomberg also tweeted a graph showing major hurricanes making landfall in the u.s trending downward for well over a century but my narrative my narrative man i need the narrative i gotta get to there how do we win an election hey uh dude there's there's people floating in their house still oh we don't care about we need the narrative we gotta go win elections you sick i'm gonna leave that there you deranged lunatics can you shut your soup cooler for five minutes while we recover from this storm, before you start lying again to the American people, you are disgraceful, disgusting slobs. You are lying pigs.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Every one of you. And, you know, now that I've been through now, hurricane number two down here, I'm getting more and more disgusted by the fact that instead of trying to solve the problem, looking at ways to build resilient structures, looking at, right, Joe, what's actually happening in a hurricane. Look at what, better prognostication for weather events. Instead of looking at actual ways to help people, you suck. And what are you doing? You're sitting here lying to people because you want to win elections, you pigs. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:08:05 I'm sorry if you're offended by that. I know my wife's not going to like this show, but these people make me sick. Now, again, let's go back to beyond Lombard here. Lombard. Hurricanes making landfall in the U.S. are actually trending downward. Again, it's not just that you're lying to people, you slobs. It's that you're lying to people and making them believe that the opposite of what's happening is actually
Starting point is 00:08:28 happening. The opposite, you slobs. You disgusting lying pigs. Can you tell the truth for five minutes about anything? Maybe if you spend as much time, again, focusing on building,
Starting point is 00:08:43 I'm not a huge fan of building codes but maybe if that's your thing again better climate sensors maybe better ways to predict and evacuate people and get them out in an emergency maybe you'd save a life instead of trying to intentionally harm people by manipulating them and lying to them you animals here's another one because you may say to yourself if you're a liberal and unlike you, we believe in the truth because we're not pigs like you guys. So what we do over here is we actually tell the truth. So you may say to yourself, well,
Starting point is 00:09:14 you had this lumber guy and this pilkey guy. I don't trust them. Maybe they have conservative leaning. So of course, if you're a conservative, you have to be lying. But if you're a liberal and you lie, it's automatically the truth,
Starting point is 00:09:24 Joe, right? Of course. Oh yeah. Yeah. They're smarter than we are yes of course they're smarter than we are we're all stupid so let's go to the this is from the daily signal piece again let's go to the intergovernmental panel on climate change and good and for the people online they make you sick too good jim you're with me here hi jim make me sick yeah jim's on facebook live the intergovernmental panel on climate change no bastion of right-wing values, folks,
Starting point is 00:09:46 reported in its most recent scientific assessment that no robust trends in annual numbers of tropical storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes have been identified over the past hundred years in the North Atlantic Basin, and there are no significant observed trends in global cyclone frequency. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:10:09 I mean, do you, folks, do you understand that literally nothing they're telling you is true? These, this is what infuriates me about the left. If you're on the right and you say, you say that, hey, the Reagan tech, this happened to me during my last political campaign. You say the Reagan tax cuts led to a near doubling of tax revenue to the United States government, which it did, 500 billion to 900 billion. There will be some hack clown reporter like that Naples Daily News goof I had to work with
Starting point is 00:10:41 who will say, no, no, it didn't double. It only went up by about 0.4762, whatever. And they'll be like, he was clearly wrong. And you're like, okay, listen, maybe I was off by a sliver here. Maybe it didn't go up by 100%. It went up by 95%, whatever it was. But the premise of what I said is absolutely true. And Joe, they'll never stop writing about it.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Right. Even though the absolute premise of what you said, that tax revenue went up and substantially is factually correct right but when the left says something that's not only factually not true but the opposite is the case climate change led to led to uh hurricane harvey and hurricane irma climate change did it and the evidence says the exact opposite that neither intensity or frequency of storms has gone up at all. Matter of fact, it's gone down since the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere at levels the left wants to correlate
Starting point is 00:11:31 with global climate activity. They're not only lying, they're telling you the opposite story. No one in the media will bother with it at all. Matter of fact, even when you call them out, the media will call you a climate denier and write pieces like they have in this hack site Politico that Harvey is what climate change looks like. Even though Harvey, here's what the title should read.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Harvey is absolutely not what climate change looks like. They're just making this up. I mean, if you're a liberal, does it ever bother you that you never have a fact to stand on? Is there ever a time where you stand back and you look your kids in the eye and you tell them how much of a liar you are yeah i know that sucks i know that really sucks to hear but do you ever look your kids in the face and disgust and say gosh i've lied to you if you're a college professor lecturing kids and propagandizing them does it ever bother you that you're a
Starting point is 00:12:25 total complete liar that you're a hack that nothing you say is true you know if we can't agree on an objective set of facts i just gave you data from a the intergovernmental panel on climate change a left-leaning outlet if anything two climate scientists data that's not controversial at all that completely refutes the left's premise that climate change led to these two hurricanes and you will continue to open your yap and say things that are not true does it ever bother you that nothing you say is true when you're a total hack i didn't want to spend a lot of time on this story i know i say that a lot but stories but i really i have six or seven other doozies i want to get to but this just i can't take it man i cannot
Starting point is 00:13:12 take it i know i i love my wife to death she's the greatest thing that ever happened to me but she really doesn't like it when i bash these people but i'm sorry there's nothing else to say to disgusting people like this michael ian hack michael ian black there's nothing else to say to disgusting people like this Michael Ian hack. Michael Ian Black. There's nothing. I mean, what else do you say? They're just liars. In the middle of a hurricane that I'm actually living through, by the way, he tweets out that I don't believe in science.
Starting point is 00:13:34 But when you give him the science, do you understand? He's the guy who doesn't believe in it? Yeah. No, Michael, here's the actual science, okay? Here's the actual science. No's the actual site no no no you guys don't believe in science you're like is this a beavis and butthead episode i'm serious like remember mr anderson come out and and beavis and butthead would have messed with his trailer his rv and they just walked out and like there's all this damage inside were you guys in my rv
Starting point is 00:14:01 messing around no those were other kids that's No, those were other kids. That's the left. Those were other kids. Like, man, remember that, the left? I just saw you guys do it. And this is the left. Like, you guys don't believe in science, conservatives. Okay, Michael, here's the science. The science says the opposite of what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:14:19 That was like other kids. I mean, what do you say to that? That was like other kids. I mean, what do you say to that? That was like other kids? It's just a, the left is an extended Beavis and Butthead episode. The stupid is so strong, you don't even know what to say. Like, no, no, here's the science. Michael, this is actual science.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Like, do you understand? Like, I don't think, what was it, the Princess Bride? I don't think that means what you think it means. I don't think that means what you think it means. I don't think science means what you think it means, Michael. Man. Listen, this is a disturbing story, too. It's kind of moving on a bit. But what's happening in the Caribbean right now is really disturbing. Have you seen these stories, Joe, that people are walking around in St. Martin, areas that were slammed by Irma with Category 5 winds?
Starting point is 00:15:08 And one of the quotes is people are walking around like zombies are scavenging for food. Apparently, there's some looting going on. Yeah, it's a real human catastrophe over there. I know the French and their portion, the UK and the United States are doing their best to get people out. But there were people honeymooning over there who are in a lot of trouble, folks. This is a really horrible story. Now, I have said to you repeatedly, please go out and pick up a supply of emergency food.

Starting point is 00:16:31 I appreciate you all, by the way, supporting the sponsors. It means a lot. All right. So I wasn't going to mention this clown again. This is, sorry, this is kind of a little fired up today. After a weekend of busting my butt, closing shutters, and I should maybe take the camera outside and show you what the front of my house looks like. You'll see why I'm a little fired up today after a weekend of busting my butt it's closing shutters and i should maybe take the camera outside show you what the front of my house looks like you guys you'll see why i'm a little fiery today but i got to another uh argument this weekend on twitter
Starting point is 00:16:53 with another liberal clown so there's a lady i think she writes for media matters i've never heard of her i frankly i don't think anyone else has either and i'm always hesitant to bring up people like that because i think they get uh because I think they get more publicity from my show. And I don't say that out of any sense of arrogance or any kind of a humble brag, but I mean it. We get tens of thousands of listeners per show and literally hundreds of thousands closing in on a million soon per month. I mean, Joe knows that. He sees the data like I do. So mentioning her name, she gets more publicity than just leaving it alone.
Starting point is 00:17:24 But she's so disgusting and her premise is so disgusting that I really have to address it. So her name is Lisa Hymas, H-Y-M-A-S. And she writes, I think, for Media Matters or something. I don't even know.
Starting point is 00:17:36 But I did an appearance on Tucker Carlson not too long ago about the looting in Hurricane Harvey, which no one questions happened. And by the way, never made the case
Starting point is 00:17:45 that it happened on a mass scale. Me, that is. As a matter of fact, Tucker didn't either. And I made the case, though, Joe, and what I brought up on the show is you have to be a, and I'll use the exact term, a certifiable savage man-beast to loot from people in the event of a hurricane.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Is anything controversial about that at all? No. You may not like the term certifiable savage man beast um how do i say this what is too yeah looting is wrong looting we get it but yeah you're right but joe you know what has two thumbs is pointing at himself right now and doesn't give a rat's ass what you think about the language he uses to describe savage man beast looters this guy don't care what i mean literally don't care one bit matter of fact next time i'm gonna double down and find even more explosive adjectives because i hate looters that much okay i can't stand the savages of society the leeches the animals that feed off everyone else
Starting point is 00:18:43 then i went on t Tucker and made that known. Now, of course, what is Lisa Hymus, hack writer at whatever, Media Matters, which is a clown site? What is she, right? She insinuates in her piece that this was racist. Here we go. Keep in mind, there was no mention of race in any way shape or form in the show but
Starting point is 00:19:08 again this is the left's tactic these are lying animals she is the certifiable savage man beast because you know what she is she's the racist now let me give you an example in case you say oh you're just trying to do a kind of counterpart no no i mean it she's legitimately a racist and i'm gonna tag her name in this so that any employer she gets understands she's a racist in the future she is a racist it's not that i'm trying to flip the card she is an actual racist i'll prove it to you joe okay you go to a say you go to like a cocktail party right and you know it's a month or so after this and some guy says in a you know in polite company goes man you guys remember that hurricane a month ago you believe that looting and everybody's like yeah man that was horrible use people work for living and i'm bringing this up today by the way because it happened again in fort lauderdale and there
Starting point is 00:19:56 are by the way not just one or two cases there's 30 plus arrests for looting in fort lauderdale which never happens according to the left so now they're arresting people for for looting and for a lot of them, which never happens according to the left. So now they're arresting people for fake looting, according to this idiot, Hymas. Okay. There's also cases happening up in Orlando. Widespread? No,
Starting point is 00:20:13 absolutely not. Right. Limited? No, absolutely not. Significant enough to report on. Okay. So you're in this little circle of guys.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Hey, remember that looting? Oh, that was terrible. And some guy comes into the conversation and goes conversation goes yeah those black people should stop that all right uh what come again now tell me joe you wouldn't be like uh dude say you know say what yeah you might want to wrap that up yeah nobody's talking about black people we're talking about looters if they're black hispanic green or blue is irrelevant to the conversation the conversation about looting we're not making it about black people but that's what lisa hymas is doing
Starting point is 00:20:55 because she's a racist because lisa hymas when you have a conversation about looting what's the first thing she thinks joe black people no one else thinks that see that is an actual racist this is a liberal so married to identity politics that when a conservative discusses criminality and crime and actual victims joe the people who got their store looted what does she think black people how please explain to me how lisa hymas is not a racist i mean i'm dead serious if you're a liberal listens i know because once in a while i get your nasty grams daniel appongino.com is my email please email me explain to me how that's not racist when no nobody mentioned at all joe ever on the show for obvious reasons that the race of the
Starting point is 00:21:44 people involved, because it doesn't matter because nobody cares. All we care. I didn't have a skin pigment in mind. No, nobody did. Even when we started this conversation, right? It's, it's high miss who brings it up and then uses it to shut down conversation. In other words, you see those guys, Tucker and Dan Bongino, they're racist.
Starting point is 00:22:04 They're talking about looting. It's she's the one who did it. She's the actual racist. Now, folks, the why matters. I've discussed the why on this show repeatedly. Why does the left do this? The left figured out a long time ago, do this iron triangle they have of Hollywood, academia, and the media, that once uncomfortable conversations start, folks, they were going to lose. So what do you do?
Starting point is 00:22:36 Let me give you an example, because I use analogies on the show, and based on the feedback, I think you all like them. So Joe, you're a kooky liberal, and I'm the conservative. We're having a conversation other people are listening to. Now, during that conversation, the conservative brings up looting and hurricanes. The hurricanes, the leftist, once you start bringing up climate change, you start bringing up the facts. You start saying, well, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has actually said that the intensity and frequency of hurricanes has gone down that what you're saying is inaccurate the left does you understand the left the liberal you joe you have nothing what are you going to say they're lying it's not it's the intergovernmental panel on climate change this is like a left-leaning group at best if not far left has completely
Starting point is 00:23:20 refuted your premise you have nothing else you have nowhere to go joe so what do you do the only thing you can do is say well you're a climate denier yep yep yep yep yep because the speech what and what i mean by the speech code is by classifying any speech about climate change outside of the iron triangle orthodoxy the iron triangle orthodoxy is we will leverage every weather event to make people believe climate change is real. Anything said outside of that has to be stopped, even backed up by facts and data. The only way to stop it is to use a pejorative
Starting point is 00:23:56 to describe the person using the facts and data. And using that negative term, they hope people shun that person. Because Joe, I mean, who wants to be associated with a climate denier, right? associated with a climate denier right you are a climate denier you're a climate denier you're you they they want they they want you you need to be hester print they want the scarlet letter right on your forehead c and the the way they do it is they this is how they they use speech codes any speech outside of the accepted orthodoxy is to be shut down immediately, and they do it with the scarlet letter.
Starting point is 00:24:26 On climate, it's an obvious one. You're a climate denier. But criminality and focusing on criminality is a conversation, folks, and do not doubt me to steal Rush's line for a minute appropriately footnoted, by the way. Don't doubt me on this. The left hates any discussion on criminality because they believe criminality is society's fault they think if we had better systems of organization there would be no criminals they see the criminals as the victim not the victim of the crime they never ever want to discuss criminality and whenever criminality is discussed the only way to shut the conversation
Starting point is 00:25:03 down because criminality joe is largely not obviously not. I'm not talking in exclusives here, but it's proportion of criminality. And the number of criminal incidents is larger in cities run largely by liberals. There are a lot of conservative areas, conservative states have high crime rates, too. But liberal cities have crime problems. Yeah, but you're a racist you're yes the only way to shut that down is to say it out already and i'm i'm gonna point it out with some more facts by the way yes facts i know that scares people there's a legal insurrection piece today by uh by a writer who goes by the name of fuzzy slippers
Starting point is 00:25:41 that's pretty funny but i don't know if it's a he or she but let's just say it's a he for now right it's really good stuff talking about the crime rate in baltimore how the crime rate in baltimore despite it only having a population a fraction of what new york is the crime rate in baltimore has gone up dramatically yes it has i mean i know joe you live close to baltimore and you may say oh well new york's a liberal city too too. But New York had Giuliani and a relatively conservative law enforcement approach that shut a lot of that down. And it was continued by Bloomberg as well, even though he's a far left liberal. The broken window is policing policy. The left does not want to focus on this kind of stuff. So what do they do?
Starting point is 00:26:19 Anytime you bring it up, like I brought it up on Tucker during the show about looting, they have nothing else. They have to say, oh, this is is racist even though they're the racist how if you're i mean seriously if you're one of my listeners and believe me i know we have a lot of people who are hispanic black asian we have a guy in the philippines who emails me all the time we have a guy in thailand who emails me all the time right how do you not take offense to that no i mean i'm serious i mean i i'm italian irish and german and my mother said a little bit of english i don't know but i know i know we're a lot italian and i know we're a lot irish too right if someone were to bring this up a conversation about looting and then someone a reporter walked into that circle and said yeah man those italians they got to shut that down.
Starting point is 00:27:05 You know what? I'm not a snowflake and I wouldn't melt down and demand that the person be arrested like liberals do or beat him up or throw a pie in his face like liberals do. But I tell you, Joe, I'd go home and I'd probably be a bit offended. And I'd say to my wife, I mean, my wife gets this a lot. My wife's Colombian. She could be the first one to tell you if we ever meet up. You know, there are people around who have actually made jokes about she's columbian i'm from south carolina columbia the country and people make jokes about you know cocaine and stuff my wife's like
Starting point is 00:27:32 you know no inappropriate thank you you know but she doesn't dwell on it for a month but it's inappropriate how if you're black and listening to my show are you not offended by lisa hymas the racist how how is that you have a conversation about looting and the first thing she brings up is black people how are you not offended folks i'm not kidding and i swear i am not i ignored this this hack for a couple days because i i most people on the left because they have no, this woman probably has zero audience at all. But I can't ignore it anymore because this is what they do all the time. They don't have anything else. They have no real ideas.
Starting point is 00:28:18 All right. Speaking of which, the left, again, has doubled down on insanity. Last week, we talked about their attacks on Christianity and Catholicism Senator Dianne Feinstein. During a Senate hearing for a judge for the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, Democrat Senator
Starting point is 00:28:35 Dianne Feinstein and Dick Durbin doubled down attacking her religion. This has created quite a controversy. Now I covered it on last week's show. That's a summation of what happened and I'll tweet out an article uh uh and i'll put in the show notes today an article about how this has gotten really ugly but i just wanted to add to it to show you why uh the far left is lose is losing and losing badly why the radical far left folks has become a fringe movement here are a couple other just unbelievable doozies from your far left friends so martha plimpton you know
Starting point is 00:29:05 martha plimpton is i know she was in the movie remember goonies yeah you know that cindy lauper yeah cindy lauper was in yes she was in that uh she had this the song for the movie well martha plimpton's like a c-rate actress she's like a kathy griffin or below level and she went to this uh this abortion celebration festival yeah yeah i said that right um in seattle and she started talking about her abortion and was like i got my first abortion here in seattle's plant parented yay come on no no the yay is an actual quote by the way it's not me like by being hyperbolic that's an actual quote so she's celebrating now her bush so that was her abortion and and you know instead of now their old approach, safe, legal, and rare, it's now let's celebrate the death of human life.
Starting point is 00:29:49 And here's another one. Luis Gutierrez, who is just a disgusting, filthy human being, who is a House of Representatives member, attacked General John Kelly. General John Kelly is the chief of staff of the White House right now. And this isn't, if you haven't heard this story, ladies and gentlemen, again, this guy's a Democrat, Gutierrez. He's a hack. He's another just hostile, angry, filthy human being. And he went after General Kelly. And because General Kelly supported the rescinding of the DACA, Obama's DACA amnesty.
Starting point is 00:30:24 supported the rescinding of the DACA, Obama's DACA amnesty. Yeah. And remember, Trump didn't, regardless of where you stand, Trump just rescinded the unconstitutional executive order and kicked it back to Congress. So regardless of where you stand on the issue, saying that he rescinded DACA altogether is kind of disingenuous because it was unconstitutional the way it was done. Gutierrez, who thinks Kelly, John Kelly, was a part of this daca rescinding said that he is uh
Starting point is 00:30:47 basically unworthy of the uniform and uh and insinuated that he's a white supremacist unworthy of the uniform joe do you know this guy's eldest son one this guy is a is served with distinction in the military general john kelly uh you don't get to be a general by being some clown, okay? He lost his oldest son in Afghanistan in action. You know, Gutierrez, you class three douchebag.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Maybe you want to rethink that. I'm just going to leave it at that because you're just an a-hole and you're not worthy of an ounce more of my oxygen. You piece of steaming garbage. And you vote for this guy.
Starting point is 00:31:34 You know what? I'm done. I don't even want to, I'm just pissed off. So forget it. I don't even want to talk about it anymore because you, the guy really, you're seriously not worth an extra kilo calorie of energy.
Starting point is 00:31:43 You piece of crap. All right, let's move on to some more optimistic stuff. There's an interesting piece today by Alan Dershowitz in the Wall Street Journal, which I will again put in the show notes today. Oh, look at that. That's crazy. The guy I went to the police academy with is on TV right now at the 9-11 Memorial. Wow, gosh. Oh, man, I haven't seen him in a long time.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Sorry, folks, didn't mean to get distracted. Interesting piece of Alan Dershowitz. Alan Dershowitz is a Democrat. He's not a Republican, but he's talking about the dangers proposed by the alt-left in contrast to what he calls the far-right. I don't call it that. He calls them the...
Starting point is 00:32:21 The far-right is not the far-right, okay? But just using his vocabulary sadly for a minute he actually makes some interesting points in there and it's a point i've discussed in the show before but he i think he makes it in a much more uh elegant uh he makes a much more elegant point here he says joe that the far left is far more dangerous than what he would call the far right and here's the reason why he has two basic takeaways which are really good he says think about this there are no hard comparable limits on the hard left compared to the hard right what does he mean by that joe if you're on the quote hard right and you are say again this is a nonsense term but if i don't, I can't describe his article without using his terminology, even though it's wrong.
Starting point is 00:33:07 But his premise is that if you're on the hard right, nobody invites Nazis and fascists to a college campus to speak. It doesn't happen. If it happens in isolated incidents, these groups are, not only they be attacked, maybe laughed off a campus like nobody does that. No, no, no mainstream conservative group, no college Republican group would invite a Nazi on campus, which I think makes my point that these are not the far right. These are just fringe elements of society, nothing to do with right leaning politics, but working with that for a minute. So that's a ceiling on quote far right
Starting point is 00:33:47 activity joe there are socially acceptable and unacceptable behaviors that the far right can't do one of them is you can't invite speakers to camp because nobody accepts them you can't invite them to college campuses you can't invite them to speak at your republican club and thankfully and nobody would because they have nothing to do with us as i've said repeatedly but he says there's no comparable limit on the far left he makes a great point joe he goes think about it sure the far left you have college professors you have the sean pens of the world and hollywood people and you have media people people at cnn and far left outlets that still talk glowingly about communism castro uh guavara shea guavara chavez down in venezuela remember the uh all those hollywood actors oliver stone went down there praising chavez folks these are people who have literally killed a combined tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of people
Starting point is 00:34:46 throughout human history. When you combine Stalin, Pol Pot, when you combine Mao, Castro, Guevara, all of these far-left savages, and yet, Joe, these people are, there are still academics and people out there who celebrate these people openly. Yep.
Starting point is 00:35:03 There's no, with no worries at all no no anxiety about it no they invite speakers to college campuses who talk glowingly about socialism no problem at all so dershowitz's point is a very elegant one that he says even though people focus on the right the far right the right is buried they're buried on what happened in the past not what happens in the future. So in other words, Joe, if you want to, and again, I think Dershowitz
Starting point is 00:35:28 proves my point that these people aren't far right. His point is that identifying Nazis with the right requires you almost exclusively to focus on what happened in the past. Because there are no Nazis
Starting point is 00:35:40 in mainstream conservative politics. I mean, none. Like, zero. Like, it's not, it doesn't happen. So you see what I'm saying, Joe? Sure. But focusing on the left and their embracement of extremism
Starting point is 00:35:54 and killing and destruction and tragedy, the left talks about this like this is a model for the future. And you see the point? Yeah. So point number one, there is no limit to what the left can do because the iron triangle loves them hollywood says death is okay uh academia says death is okay and the media death is okay by sanctioning communism you're sanctioning murder there is
Starting point is 00:36:20 no two ways about it that's if you believe in facts and data. But there's no problem with that because the culture wars, the left is winning. This is all okay. Point number two, so again, no ceiling on the left, but a ceiling on the quote right. But again, point number two,
Starting point is 00:36:37 the takeaway there is a critical one. That the right, in order to associate the right with extreme politics, all you can do is focus on the past, because you have no evidence that this is happening now. These are not mainstream conservative or Republican figures. These are fringe elements that claim Republicanism.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Republicanism doesn't claim them. Make sense? Yeah. Conservatives don't claim these people. They want nothing to do with nazis and fascists at all we have all repeatedly disavowed these people and their nonsense david duke when he endorses you is a death sentence joe the ku klux klan savage from louisiana they say they when david duke endorses you it's a death sentence for you. But when Bernie Sanders, a socialist, endorses you, you may win an election.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Explain to me again how the left isn't more dangerous than the right. The left thinks death and destruction is a model for the future, while disingenuously associating the right with death and destruction in the past doesn't even work. We've never claimed these people. It's a really terrific piece. I'll put it in the past, doesn't even work. We've never claimed these people. It's a really terrific piece. I'll put it in the show notes. I strongly encourage you to read it. Hey, folks, have you signed up for CRTV yet?
Starting point is 00:37:55 You know, I saw an article today in Paul Bedard's Washington Secrets, a really great newsletter. I can't recommend enough. And he was talking about, which shouldn't surprise you, Joe, at all, that this younger generation, millennials and the sort, they're cutting the cord on cable they're just not interested they're like hey no dice sorry do you blame them i mean it's like i got 700 channels how many do you watch uh one like seriously in my house i think i watched the velocity channel fox news and my wife likes hgtv well i like hgtv a little bit too but don't tell anyone
Starting point is 00:38:24 or totally ruin my image. But that's it. I mean, if you offered me those three channels and said we're getting rid of anything else, I'd be like, okay, it sounds good. And I will say local news did a great job during the hurricane. So big shout out to WPBF, which I watched.

Just quick on 9-11. I was in Melville in the Long Island office when it went down.
Starting point is 00:40:29 And what happened that day for us was just, it was really scary. I mean, it was one of those things where you almost feel like you're living in a movie. Like this can't possibly be real. And I was sitting in the office that morning at the Secret Service office in Melville and we were getting ready to serve an arrest warrant.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Have I ever told you this story, Joe? And it was on this guy, guy can't say his name obviously but it was a a guy who was selling diamonds on ebay and we were going to serve an arrest warrant because he had no diamonds ebay was new back then and scamming on ebay was pretty popular so they used to come to the secret service and the fbi and we would go and lock them up so he was in a hotel and we had found out through our homework that the the guy had a hearing problem, a significant hearing problem. So we were in the office that morning.
Starting point is 00:41:08 It was early because we were going to do an early morning hit. And I remember thinking, we have to knock and announce. When you're a cop, you can't just kick a door in. You have to knock and announce first. But he wasn't going to hear the knock.
Starting point is 00:41:20 His hearing problem was significant. So I'm not making a joke out of this either. This is what we really were having. There's a legal obligation to knock and announce so we said well what do we do and some guy said well we could slip a note under the door that says you know knock knock i'm like dude that you know like what but then i said you know what that's actually not a bad idea slip a note under the door what police the police with a search warrant i mean it was the best we could do and all of a sudden a guy came running in and said, a bomb just went off in the World Trade Center. This guy, Tommy. And we were like, what? What do you mean a bomb just went off? And obviously, after 1993, having lived in New York
Starting point is 00:41:53 through that, the bombing there, we thought, this is insane. So we went in and we put on the news and nobody could figure out what was wrong. Bottom line is, you know the rest of the story. We saw the second plane come in later and realized we were under attack. So we all went into the John F. Kennedy Secret Service office in JFK Airport. And we watched from right across the water the big smoke pile coming out of Manhattan. And we started calling and calling and calling because we were missing 200 agents because the United Nations General Assembly was happening that day. And all of the Secret Service agents were in town in New York protecting foreign digs. And we didn't have cell phones back then, so we only had pagers. So we'd wait for the call back.
Starting point is 00:42:27 We had a list of 200 plus people. And by midnight that night, we got down to two. There were just two we couldn't find. And one guy was this guy, Kevin, who I'm still friends with. They used to call him the skunk because he had a patch of white hair in the middle of his head. Probably not the best nickname, but he didn't seem to care. And I thought he was dead.
Starting point is 00:42:44 I mean, he was a good friend of mine and he was in Nigeria, it turned out, on an investigative assignment and he called back. And I thought, oh gosh, thank God he's alive. And then one last guy never called back. And that was Craig Miller, who was a master special officer, who was a military, an army medic, paramedic. And it was thought that he was helping people in the plaza, and it's thought that either a person or an object or one of the buildings came down on him. So I just want to leave the show by giving a special shout out to the family of Craig Miller for his heroic sacrifice, his unbelievable patriotism, his service to the country, and just a quick
Starting point is 00:43:20 remembrance on 9-11 for him. So thank you for everything he did. God bless America and all who defend her. I'll see you all tomorrow. You just heard the Dan Bongino Show.
