Starting point is 00:00:00 get ready to hear the truth about america on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host dan bongino all right welcome to the dan bongino show producer joe how are you today full steam ahead brother busy busy news week thank you to everyone at the nra convention in dallas you guys and ladies out there were amazing uh what a crowd of people. We walked off that little elevated platform at the NRA TV booth, for those of you who were there. And there were just, Joe, endless supporters. People love you, by the way. You should have been. I got so many people asking about Producer Joe.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Thank you very much. I was flattered. It was really an incredible, incredible time. My wife and I both, a lot of you met Paula there. We were just floored by all the attention you gave us. Honestly, I was a little humbled by it and overwhelmed. Also, thanks to everyone who watched Life, Liberty, and Levin last night. I got about 500 emails about it this morning, many of them on the socks. A little backstory, I had an interesting pair of socks on.
Starting point is 00:01:02 It was not the pair of socks I intended. That was more for a different visit. I had a pair of black socks, and I brought the wrong ones. They were two different socks. Now, listen, two different black socks usually isn't a big deal. Right. Unless one of them has a stripe going along the side and the other doesn't. There you go. So, therefore, that's the backstory behind the socks.
Starting point is 00:01:22 And if you watch Life, Liberty, and Levin, you can see it on YouTube or if you DVR'd it, you'll see exactly what I mean. So there's the backstory for the Sox. All right.

You're like itching your ears the whole time. Okay. Big news tonight. super excited about this hat tip to shannon watts bloomberg flunky and shill anti-gun civil liberties advocate i know you're listening to the show shannon and i know you're telling everybody you're not but hey welcome it's good to have you here yeah shannon watts who is an anti-gun advocate she wants to take away your right to protect you and your family.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Also, professional Dana Lash nuisance, by the way. Shannon, who stalks Dana Lash frequently on Twitter. I had to give Dana a break this weekend, Joe. So Shannon and I had a back and forth. Now, keep in mind, again, who Shannon Watts is. She's a Bloomberg, I don't know, some kind of PR person. But she's amazingly bad at PR for someone who's supposed to be an expert in public relations. I'm not kidding.
Starting point is 00:04:11 I get it. Everybody wants to be the guy and puff your chest and the bravado. I won in this Twitter war with Shannon Watts back and forth. But this is an anti-gun advocate wants to take away your guns. Again, she's a Bloomberg flunky there. Anti-gun advocate wants to take away your guns. Again, she's a Bloomberg flunky there. And she's supposed to be in public relations to get other people to get on her side, Joe, to take away your guns.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Yet this weekend, she lied. I mean, lied. Like, it's just factually incorrect. She made a series of statements about the NRA convention that were patently false. They're false statements. They're just incorrect. Eas easily provable to be incorrect. But you know, Joe, liberals and honesty is not really their thing. So we get that.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Now, having said that with Shannon Watts, here's what happened. She put out a statement that said, oh, Dana Lash got on stage to speak at the NRA convention, Joe, when it was a gun-free zone. Well, Shannon, don't let the facts get in the way of a good argument. Now, I'm going to break down a few of the dopey things she said in a minute, but I just want to let you know, I'm super stoked about this, Joe. Tonight, 5.30 p.m. Eastern Time, nratv.com, free for you to watch. It's on Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, Amazon Fire, but it's free at NRATV.com.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Check out the new website. It's awesome. Yeah. I will be debating Shannon Watts. Oh, oh. Yeah, baby. Yes. Of course, Shannon Watts is not actually going to show up for the debate I challenged her,
Starting point is 00:05:39 and she did what every liberal does, Joe, which is what? She ran for the hills. Yeah. I'm not going to debate you. Nobody watches that. Really gonna debate you nobody watches that oh really are you sure about that because i just went to a meeting this weekend in dallas and i promise you people watch but you know what again that's kind of like one of those kindergarten nobody watches that okay joe uh now listen you and i are pretty we don't we never fluff up our
Starting point is 00:06:02 audience for people i'm not incorrect joe by saying we do millions of downloads a month on the show, right? Yeah, you got it, buddy. That's right. I said that to her, too. I go, you're so brave on Twitter, and yet I give you an open forum to defend your lies, and you run for the hills, and then your comeback is so childish. Nobody listens to that. I mean, my kindergartner says things like that she does i'm not even kidding
Starting point is 00:06:30 i don't like you anymore my kid i love my daughter but when she gets mad at us this is shannon west i don't like you nobody watches that no okay well i assure you about two million downloaders a month listen to the show. So I'm not going to even give you the NRA TV numbers for obvious reasons. But trust me, you are way out of your league. So I will be debating her tonight on the show. She didn't show up. So we're going to slap her picture up on a chair like we always do when liberals challenge us, like Miranda Yaver, the other one, and we'll be debating her now a couple points on this the nra being a uh the speech being a gun
Starting point is 00:07:10 free zone um okay i was a secret service agent i don't remember shannon serving in the secret service i must have missed her joe during her time oh yeah that's right she wasn't uh matter of fact i don't know what she did before this. It was a big secret. She was such a secret agent. Nobody knew she was... That's a good... Dude, I'm telling you, this is why I love Joe. I can't get rid of him. If he has a heart attack, forget it. The show would fall apart, right? Who else am I going to throw this off there? But yes, she was such a secret service agent, so nobody knew she was there. Shannon's trying to claim i'm sorry if i'm talking fast i'm super excited about this story i know i gotta slow down a bit shannon's claiming that it was a gun free
Starting point is 00:07:51 zone the nra folks did not have a gun free zone at the convention that's just the i i don't know it's like me trying to like defend if someone says an apple's an orange you're like um no it's an apple no no it's an orange um it's an apple this is so dumb i don't even know how to defend it but this is what the left does that was not the nra where donald trump was going to speak the secret service has this thing called a federally protected area and they usually set up a magnetometer checkpoint and it's not a gun free zone they set up restrictions on firearms that's not the nra rules i promise you there were thousands of people at the nra convention who were had their firearms i i was there i don't know what else to tell you you're just making that up because you're silly and liberals are silly and they're liars. I mean, how could you? And people buy it.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Oh, the NRA was a gun-free zone. Um, okay, whatever. Well, like the kids say, whatevs. You're just making that up. Now, this is why she doesn't want to come on the show to debate because she knows she can't defend that. I was on the floor. People, you were allowed to legally carry your firearm at the convention.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Now, even her premise that during the Trump speech, it was a gun-free zone is false. It was not a gun-free zone. There were firearms restrictions, but it was not a gun-free zone. Why, Joe? That zone was protected by Secret Service agents
Starting point is 00:09:19 with a Sig Sauer P229, which is a firearm. Probably some ERT folks with the Fabrique Nationale P90. CAT team members with the AR-15 platform. Secret Service agents with the Remington 870 shotgun and the Heckler & Koch MP5. Joe, all... Guns.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Firearms. Guns. Yes. Yes, guns. So it's amazing that it's... So, Shannon, what you're saying is, I guess, that it wasn't a gun-free zone. It gun full zone actually yeah there were quite a few guns there and what you're saying is what that when we we're all entitled to secret service protection too
Starting point is 00:09:56 so that when we walk around we should all have secret service details i don't get what you're saying because in essence you're you're just you're saying it was a gun freezer it's not it was an area protected by guns a luxury in other words i phrased that poorly we're not afforded you are your own bodyguard in real life in the real world that shannon watts doesn't live in you're your own bodyguard we don't have government provided highly trained agents if we did some of us may or may not choose to carry if we had a team of You are your own bodyguard. We don't have government-provided, highly-trained agents. If we did, some of us may or may not choose to carry. If we had a team of bodyguards, I would still choose to carry anyway.
Starting point is 00:10:35 But Shannon's point is ridiculous, which is, you know, it doesn't, it's all, Shannon, that's her expertise, ridiculosity, okay? It was not a gun-free zone. You know, I'm talking about the, it's just, Joe, I get dumber every time we address these people. Now, one more point on the NRA convention. Yeah. And I'll be debating Shannon later. Don't you worry.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Don't miss the show. It's going to be classic because again, she's just too terrified to show up, which is, I'm sorry. Oh, by the way, I get it.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Shannon later will be the snowflake misogynistic war on women comments. Stop. I get it. We're already there. I understand. Please spare us all the nonsense. Okay. You,
Starting point is 00:11:09 you, you, you attack people every day, relentlessly on Twitter. And then when you get called out for being the liar, you are, believe me, I understand that's next.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Cause that's all you've got. You've got nothing else. She says to me on Twitter, Joe, Oh, look, here comes the ad hominems no you're a liar that's not a personal attack you're actually a liar it's a it's a factual
Starting point is 00:11:31 statement that you say things that are untrue okay sorry secondly what are you gonna do alissa milano shows up at the uh convention alssa Milano, another. Remember Who's the Boss? Yeah, not Alyssa. I can tell you that. Remember that? She was Sam. Yeah. The Tony.
Starting point is 00:11:49 What is this? Tony Danza? Was that his name? I don't remember. Remember the guy from, was he from Taxi? He had that show Who's the Boss? Yeah. And he was the house cleaner dude or whatever.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Yeah, Tony Danza. And Sam. Tony Danza was the son played by Melissa Milano. I grew up on that show. She's a big anti-gun, anti-civil liberties advocate too, just like Shannon Watts. She shows up at the NRA convention for a protest outside, sparsely attended, by the way.
Starting point is 00:12:17 I was there. So, Joe, there were 80,000 plus people at the NRA convention. They were like, I'll be generous, Joe. Believe me, I'll be generous. Maybe a couple hundred protests. And one of them, one group at one point, they're in the background. This is a funny story. Sorry, folks. I know I'm going
Starting point is 00:12:35 into a lot of stories today about socks, but this is funny. This just goes to show you how kooky the left is. I'm doing a hit for Tucker Carlson live from the convention, and I usually don't do outdoor hits you know when there's like literally a camera outdoors i don't because i i'm almost deaf from my time in the secret service i can't hear a lot out of my right ear or my left ear from having that squiggly earpiece screaming in my eardrum all the time that's why i need wax rx i'm not even messing
Starting point is 00:13:01 they didn't pay for two heads but that's why i need it. It gets that wax out. It's true. I can't hear anything. So they say, hey, can you do an outdoor hit? I was like, sure, no problem. So I go outside and everything's fine. It was actually pretty quiet around the convention center. And the hit time was like, I don't know, 820 Eastern. I forget what time it was, Joe. And everything's going great. It's just me, the Fox cameraman, and Paula. And I always tell Paula, keep your, it's just me, the Fox cameraman, and Paula. And I always tell Paula, you know, keep your eyes out in case someone creeps over my back. Paula's good like that. She was like my secret service agent.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Good deal. Everything's good. I hear okay, folks, but it's really low. But it's kind of quiet. Next thing I hear, what was it? Hey, hey. Uh-huh. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Hey, hey. Uh-huh. And it's getting louder. Hey, hey. Ho, ho. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Ho, ho. And it's getting louder. Hey, hey. Ho, ho. Hey, hey. Ho. These protesters, there's about 100 of them, they come around the corner with their signs,
Starting point is 00:13:54 the NRA for it, and they're screaming, by the way, the dopiest protests ever, like protesters. Liberal buddies out there. You're not really my buddies, but you get it. Can you get a new line? Yeah. Can you get a new line? Yeah. Can you get a, the hey, hey, ho, ho, the NRA's got to go. Can you please, I'm not going to use the Lord's name in vain, but can you please get a new chant?
Starting point is 00:14:15 You've been screaming that since the 60s. Hey, hey, ho, ho, that dumbass chant has got to go. Hey, hey, this guy, This guy. There you go. You. The Psych Goodfellas. You. You. You.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Omricost. Hey, hey. Ho, ho. This stupid chant has got to go. Since the Vietnam era, you've been... Can you think
Starting point is 00:14:37 of something else? So I'm sitting there and I'm like this, Joe. Oh. I don't think you've had this much fun the first 15 minutes of the show. I don't think so either. I've been making some emails on this one. I'm like this, Joe. Oh, I don't think you had this much fun the first 15 minutes of the show.
Starting point is 00:14:45 I've been making some emails on this one. I'm sitting there like this. Paula starts looking at me. She knows I'm deaf. She's like, I wish we had a ditto game. She's like, I can't believe it. The worst timing ever. The hey, hey, ho, ho crowd.
Starting point is 00:14:58 They're right behind me. Hey, hey. Ha, ha. De-ha-da-ray. And I'm like, ugh. So I'm praying praying Tucker Carlson
Starting point is 00:15:08 asks me about these protesters because that was what I just wanted to say I wanted to take the camera guy I wanted to get out of the way of the shot and go cameraman look at these guys
Starting point is 00:15:17 they have been using this chant for 40 years just fill in the blank the Vietnam War's gotta go Republicans have gotta go vietnam war's gotta go republicans have gotta go sarah palin's gotta go john mccain's gotta go george bush's gotta go your money's gotta go your kids is everything just fill in the blank that's the democrat so stupid can you guys please get a focus group, a PR? Go hire Shannon Watts. She did PR. Please. Just get a new chant.
Starting point is 00:15:50 If you're going to interrupt my hit, do something creative, you dopes. So I'm sitting there. This story's gone on way too long, but it is still funny. I don't hear jack squat from Tucker. Not a word. They're like, are you good? I'm like, I'm giving them a thumbs up. Like, I'm good.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Meaning, I'm not good. I don't hear anything. But I feel bad. I promised them I'd do this hit. So I'm like, I've done enough TV. I don't say this out of any sense of hubris. Don't take it the wrong way. But I've done enough TV that if I get two or three words,
Starting point is 00:16:22 I know where they're going with it. Yeah. So all I hear from Tucker, the only thing, Joe, is Mueller and Judge. And I'm like, okay, he must be talking about the Judge, T.S. Ellis, who basically dismantled the Mueller team in court last week, telling him, hey, man, what does this have to do with on the Manafort case? What does this have to do with collusion? So I give the answer.
Starting point is 00:16:43 I then hear some mumbles in my ear and it's tucker next and i hear something about the media so i go to my you know media file and i answer that question at the end of the head i get off the i said apollo she's like how did you just do that i'm like i have no idea i'm like all i heard was media muller and judge that was it it just goes to show you like when you do enough, you just can kind of, you gotta feel it. Folks, all I heard was, hey, hey, ho, ho, and then, oh my gosh, this is going on too long, but it's still fun.
Starting point is 00:17:12 And there's helicopters overhead watching the protesters. So I hear, vrrr, vrrr. I'm like, this is the worst hit ever. I get off the air, people are texting me, that was awesome. I'm like, it was? I'm like, I had no idea what I was answering at all. I'm like, Tucker could have said like, Dan, how do you feel about the color red versus black?
Starting point is 00:17:33 Bob Mueller in those courts. Let me tell you something. He got called out by that. What? Thank God I guessed the right question. I mean that. I was like praying, please tell me this is right. Because it would have been really odd. But that's my story of the nra convention um let me get back to it
Starting point is 00:17:49 so i'll be covering this tonight on my show to alissa milano i have video this video that shows up at this rally with the hey hey ho ho people right yeah she shows up joe she has this guy standing behind her in a suit trying to look all secret service yeah you know where this is going so the nra tv crew hat tip to ben howe and and chuck holton and the nra tv crew that went out there and they're looking at this guy and joe the guy protecting anti-gun advocate yes i'm saying this right alissa milano from who's the boss he's got a suspicious bulge on his right side he starts pushing away like in a threatening manner the nra tv crew you need to get out of here you need to go you need to go you need to go but keep in mind it's a public sidewalk this guy from what i know is not a cop at least he's not acting as a law enforcement officer starts pushing them away the nra tv crew and they're all their
Starting point is 00:18:43 brilliance gets a video of his right side. He's got a suspicious bulge. Now, in the Secret Service, that could go in a few different places. But for this case, you know where I'm going with this one, right? Yes. We call this in the Secret Service,
Starting point is 00:18:55 when we look for weapons in a crowd, like when I was an agent, we knew to look before you got on the line. We would call that printing. Printing is when a firearm and its handle prints on a jacket. So let's say you have a suit jacket or a sport coat over a hip holster, a pancake holster,
Starting point is 00:19:13 with a weapon. It prints. And if you know exactly what to look for, you'll see it. Well, I want you to look at this video or watch my show later. We'll play the video. And you'll see that this guy is carrying a firearm.
Starting point is 00:19:28 You're like, wait, wait, what? You're at an anti-gun rally telling people how dangerous and useless firearms are as you're protected by a dude with a firearm. And Joe, they see no hypocrisy in this whatsoever. None. And this goes to show you the intellectual vacuum the left lives in. I mean, it's, it's, you understand you're like lemmings. These people, guys and ladies who are following these people,
Starting point is 00:19:58 you understand you're following them off a cliff, right? They do not believe what they're telling you. Michael Moore, big anti-gun advocate. Oh, remember when his bodyguard, the story about his bodyguard with a firearm, Michael Moore? You understand they're protected with firearms, right? But please tell me you understand this.
Starting point is 00:20:16 To the liberals listening to my show, because I get your emails. You understand you're being led by complete total fraud. Listen, ladies, gents, libs, think what you want. You don't like guns? Fine. You're free to not like them. You're free to not own them. I just want you to know the people leading you like lemmings off a cliff,
Starting point is 00:20:38 please understand, are nothing but hypocrites. They are complete total frauds. Full stop, period. They are protected with guns. Why? They lecture you about how bad guns are. You are being led by dopes. I mean, one final story on the firearms issue because I got to move on.
Starting point is 00:21:02 I really have a lot to cover. I have a story in the show notes today, a Breit on. I really have a lot to cover. I have a story in the show notes today, a Breitbart story. It's a pretty good one. The National Shooting Sports Foundation or something like that, NSSF, Dick's Sporting Goods, who took all their firearms
Starting point is 00:21:18 off the shelves and is now turning into an anti-government. By the way, don't ever shop at a Dick's Sporting Goods again. Listen, I can't tell you what to do. I can only tell you, I would never don't ever shop at a Dick's Sporting Goods again. Listen, I can't tell you what to do. I can only tell you, I would never. You could, if Dick's today, Dick's Sporting Goods, that's one of your best lines ever. There's a lot of stores.
Starting point is 00:21:32 Remember that, Joe? Yeah, it's a bunch of Dick's. Dick's. The Dick's are everywhere. Yeah. Dick's are all over the place. I can't get away from them. They're in Dick's.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Yeah. You know? Scott off the rails today's show completely but yeah listen i'm just energetic today i was i'm back home i'm in my studio and i'm just fired up because all doing shows on the road now i'm in my comfort zone again dicks made a bad move dicks don't cut that just leave it I can't so dicks don't go into dicks you know
Starting point is 00:22:17 just dicks bottom line is the NSSF kicked them out good for you said no thanks dicks we're good you guys are gone Bottom line is the NSSF kicked them out. Good for you. Said, no thanks, dicks. We're good. You guys are gone. So I got an email from a guy this weekend who said he was in a mall that was rather crowded, Joe.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Right. He goes, Dan, I'm not kidding. I walked by dicks, empty. He says, nobody in there. Good for you. All right. You want to take away our rights and protect ourselves? You want to join the lobbying effort
Starting point is 00:22:44 against the Second Amendment? Good for you. But we're out. Thanks. Now we know better. All right. Let me get to this because I want to switch gears a little bit. Enough on the gun stuff.
Starting point is 00:22:53 But it was an interesting week at the NRA. And I did mean it, Joe. You got a lot of people who came up to me and asked. Thanks, everyone. He's great. Thank you, Dan. Today's show also brought to you by our buddies at itarget ladies and gentlemen anybody can buy a firearm and they're candidly speaking not that difficult to shoot you pull
Starting point is 00:23:12 the trigger but that's not the responsible way to do it you all know that if you're going to get a firearm you're going to practice for self-defense you're a police officer you're in the military you're a first-time gun owner you want to learn to be proficient you obviously if god forbid you're ever involved in a self-defense scenario none of us want to learn to be proficient. You obviously, God forbid you're ever involved in a self-defense scenario. None of us want to be involved in that. But if you are, you want to be able to hit what you're firing at to defend yourself, defend your home, or defend your family. One of the best ways to do it is to dry fire. What is dry firing? We did this a lot in the Secret Service when I was there. Dry firing is when you safely unload your weapon. If it's a revolver, you open the cylinder, you check, you check twice, you check three times, you make sure it's unloaded,
Starting point is 00:23:48 and you pull the trigger on a safely unloaded firearm. Obviously, there's no round in it, so you get to practice safely in your own home. You always point it in a safe direction, of course, and you get to practice your sight alignment, your trigger control. Equal light on both sides of those sights, level across the top. You learn to get what we would call that sight picture. On a semi-automatic, rack the slide to the rear, make sure you finger probe that safe and empty chamber, look, look away, look again, look back, look away, make sure it's unloaded. What the iTarget Pro system is, is it is a laser round they will send you. You drop that laser round, the firearm you have now, you don't have to make any manipulations. And when you dry fire the weapon with that laser round in it, it'll emit
Starting point is 00:24:29 a laser and you'll see where the round would have gone. Obviously with a dry fire, you have no idea you're firing an unloaded weapon, but with the laser, you see exactly where it would have gone. People love, love, love this system. My father can't put it down. He loves it. I sent him one for his nine millimeter. The website is the letter I, targetpro.com. That's itargetpro.com.

And I'm a little horrified at it. I'm not going to say embarrassed because I shouldn't be. But Friday, and I'm not kidding. embarrassed because i shouldn't be but friday i'm not kidding i'm
Starting point is 00:25:25 being a little sarcastic but i reported on a story in passing um that i should have obeyed my own rules on now joe remember on friday when i said to you that and it was at nbc news had reported that uh one of the news outlets had reported that michael cohen trump's personal attorney that his phones had been tapped yes um it was reported by them in multiple outlets now my rule for that kind of stuff is typically wait 24 hours i'm not kidding i know it's going to sound like i'm trying to be funny and maybe funny or not but it it's not a joke. My rule on that when it's reported by the New York Times, the Washington Post or hack mainstream media outlets is to wait 24 hours if it's an anti-Trump story. I'm not kidding because typically the story will be retracted and rescinded.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Now, we have seen this over and over. The Don Trump Jr. story about receiving the wiki leaks email we've seen this about the trump deutsche bank records the mike flynn story about how he was asked to contact the russians while trump was a candidate all of these stories remember the joy bayhar thing like yeah we got them they all turned out to be fake news because the media is largely fake news now sadly i wish they weren't instead of waiting and forgive me for this folks i reported on the story on friday instead of waiting 24 hours now joe and i recorded that show super early and i didn't even have time to read the news because i had to get down to the convention the story is not true again it's more fake news it's on me i mean it it's my it's my own rule my own rule is wait 24
Starting point is 00:27:07 hours because the media is fake um and and don't embarrass yourself now i'm horrified that i did that but i did want to get that story out there and i figured shamefully on me kind of punching myself like that pitcher who put that astros pitcher give the home run must knock himself out i should have known that a story like that was going to be fake um and i i i didn't then i put it out there well what really happened and i want to get to a bigger story here about this trump's personal attorney his office now at least the story's been retracted apparently was not wiretapped wiretapped meaning so we're talking about the same terms joe wiretapped meaning they are listening in on a two-way
Starting point is 00:27:51 conversation in other words i called joe if the federal government had a criminal wire a title three wiretap on us they would be listening to what me and joe said some guy is listening on literally listening to what me and joe are saying. Joe and I are talking about whatever, Joey Bag of Donuts. That's what they're listening to. According to the retraction, now that is not what happened. Now, shame on us for reporting on mainstream media stuff
Starting point is 00:28:15 without waiting for the retraction. It's funny, but I'm not even trying to be funny. Yeah, folks, wait 24 hours because you will be embarrassed. They will retract. I've done this over and over now what happened was they did have something uncle but it was not a which is bad enough but the story is still ugly don't get me wrong it's just not as ugly as it was on friday they had what's known as a pen register going or a DNR, like a dialed number recorder,
Starting point is 00:28:45 that's different than a wiretap. So Joe, in a wiretap, they're listening to me and you. A pen register, like a DNR, they're just getting a log of the numbers I dialed, but not the content. Okay. So they'll know I dialed you. We talk all the time.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Like I dialed you on Friday at 310. Right. He dialed Joe's number, whatever, 555-1212 that's you know that's the old movie remember the movie number when i had to make up a number so yeah that's that that's what it was folks it was a pet which is a pen register or a dnr which is far different than a wiretap again my apologies i got a few emails people were like dan how did you not i i recorded that thing super early and did not have time and i broke my own rule and i'm never afraid to go back and say i was wrong but you folks i'm just warning you if you are in this space do not report on mainstream
Starting point is 00:29:39 media stories about trump on give it 24 hours because because I'm telling you, a number of times these stories have been pulled back. Now, let me throw something out at you. And for those of you who are new listeners, you haven't heard this before. Some of our regular listeners may remember this show. Let's just say I have it on pretty good authority from some folks that this may be fitting into a prior MO by people on the inside engaged in a very specific tactic here. What do I mean?
Starting point is 00:30:17 Folks, don't you find it odd that we have right now a series of leaks that have come out, prominent, big-time leaks, about stories that reflect very poorly on the Trump administration. This is now the fourth one. It's probably more, but the fourth one I can count, that mainstream media outlets have all jumped on, and they've all gotten the same fact wrong, but the general gist of the story is right. You remember this show, Joe?
Starting point is 00:30:49 You see where I'm going with this? Yeah, I sure do. Let me explain to you. Yeah, I remember. If you were going to out a leaker, let me give you the example I used because it's a good one. Yeah, it was good. The Miami Vice movie. A lot of people hated the movie.
Starting point is 00:31:02 The Jamie Foxx, what's his name? Colin Farrell remake of the movie. Now, I wouldn't watch Jamie Foxx anymore since he hit the cops after that Quentin Tarantino thing. But I did watch the movie back then, and sometimes it appears on HBO or whatever. and Farrell. They play two Miami anti-narcotics detectives, right? Narcotics division detectives. And they think there's a mole in law enforcement working with the drug dealers. In other words, a cop, a bad cop telling the drug dealers when the cops are coming for them. Like, hey, they're going to raid you next week. Get out of town, right? So what they do is they run this operation, this undercover operation where they pretend to be drug dealers themselves and what they drug runners as a matter of fact and what they do is they give out pieces of information to different law enforcement entities but every piece of information different uh different is different
Starting point is 00:31:56 by say one day because they want to figure out which agency is leaking the info so if i give out that hey we're going to do a drug drop on January 2nd to five different agencies, you don't know which one of the five leaked it, Joe. Right. But if I go to five agencies and I think there's a leak and I say, hey, FBI, we're going to do the drop on January 1st. DEA, we're going to do it on January 2nd. ATF, we're going to do it on January 4th.
Starting point is 00:32:22 NYPD, we're going to do it on January 6th. And all of a sudden, the leak comes out, and we find out that the drug dealers found out there's going to be a drop on January 6th. We know the leak came from the NYPD. There's a part in the movie where that happens, and they find out who the leaker is that way. Folks, I'm convinced this is what's happening now,
Starting point is 00:32:42 and even I got baited into it Friday by not waiting. We have seen four stories now where one piece of information was wrong, but the story was right. I believe it was leaked deliberately by white hats, good people inside the government, trying to find out who's leaking information and strategically doing it that way by manipulating one fact out the leakers now let's go through the stories the first story was the uh the don trump jr email the don trump jr story was that donald trump jr had received an email from wiki leaks saying that hey here's this link to this treasure trove of information that will help your dad's campaign out or whatever it was.
Starting point is 00:33:32 And the story that leaked into the media was, look, WikiLeaks sent Donald Trump information. Oh, my gosh. Folks, what's the problem? The date was wrong. i believe it was wrong on purpose now what does the date have to do with it the date they got wrong the date that email was sent to don trump jr which he didn't respond to by the way at all but i mean so what donald trump jr got spammed like that's the story but by the time the information was sent to trump Jr., it was already out in the public. It was already out there on the Internet. How can you have like, hey, information was leaked to Don Trump Jr.? Really?
Starting point is 00:34:11 It's on Google. They backdated the date. I'm telling you that happened on purpose. And it happened on purpose to make it look like a bigger story than it was. So idiots in the media would report and they could out the leakers. and the media would report and they could out the leakers. The second story, Mike Flynn, General Mike Flynn, when Trump was a candidate,
Starting point is 00:34:30 was asked to reach out to the Russians to negotiate some back channel. The media, Joy Behar, yes, they were all over. They were celebrating, loved this story. Folks, they were rocking and rolling with this thing. We finally got him, collusion. What was the problem? Yeah, Mike Flynn talked to the Russians when Trump was the president-elect and he was the incoming yeah mike flynn talked to the russians when trump was the president-elect
Starting point is 00:34:47 and he was the incoming national security advisor the whole story was wrong again it was just the date i'm telling you somebody put that out there intentionally with the wrong date knowing gullible anti-trump suckers in the media would report on it and it serves a two-fold purpose i'm not saying the second one is intentional but the first purpose is to out leakers joe right the second purpose well not purpose but the second at least byproduct of it is it makes the media look like the complete idiots they are now remember all of these stories have an element of truth to them. Why? But why does that matter, Joe? To make them believable. Sure. Because the media is not going to report on something. I mean, listen, for as bad as they are, it has to be somewhat believable. Right. Somewhat. Doesn't
Starting point is 00:35:34 mean they won't lie, which they did, but it has to be somewhat believable. So that you get the game they're playing, Joe? Sure. What was the third story? Yeah. Third story. Breaking news. What was the third story? Yeah. Third story. Breaking news. Trump. They're looking at his bank records from Deutsche Bank.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Oh, my gosh. Look, they finally got him. Bank records. This guy's been involved in all kinds of bad deals. Turns out later, yeah, they were looking at Deutsche Bank, but not Trump's bank records. It was someone else in that sphere. Again, the stories, the big story is true, but one specific detail's wrong every time now you see the pattern sure do they're spying on michael cohen it's a fill in the blank pen register that's the true story which is a big deal nonetheless but that's not the detail
Starting point is 00:36:21 the media got right media got it's a wiretap. Exclusive. Trump's lawyer wiretapped. Oh my gosh, look what we got. Wrong. Again. Four times media. Egg on your face. Ah, correction.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Now, folks, listen. Corrections happen. I get it. I've done them on my show. But I'm just trying to tell you, folks, the media in their anti-Trump zealotry, the media is so eager to scoop up fake news that they don't sit back and wait. And that's my fault on Friday for not waiting on the fake news to come out.
Starting point is 00:36:58 I should have known it was fake news because I know the pattern. I've talked about it on, you remember the show where I mentioned this before? This is, folks, they're outing leakers. It has to be. There is no reason all of these stories keep coming out from so-called credible sources that are fake. These credible sources are either playing the media or are being played themselves so they get outed. There's no other way around it. I'm absolutely sure.
Starting point is 00:37:23 All right. Finally, today's show brought to you by our buddies at Brickhouse Nutrition. We love Brickhouse, one of my favorite products out there. I take their stuff on the road. I took with me, by the way, Foundation, which is their staple product. I love it. It was one of their first products out there. It's how I found Brickhouse Nutrition.

This story is just incredibly disturbing, troubling. And folks, it should enrage you in an action-oriented way at the election booth. The election booth. Because remember, the violence is the liberal thing. I can't say that enough. That is the purview of the liberal crowd, the Antifa crowd, the pigs in a blanket frying like bacon crowd. But this should really anger you enough to motivate you in the midterm elections to do something, to go find, volunteer, go find some good quality conservatives and get these false, phony, fake, fraudulent liberals out of office.
Starting point is 00:39:45 What's the story? It'll be in the show notes today. I encourage you to check it out. Great story about what, it's from the Washington Examiner. Joe, did you hear what John Kerry did this week? Yeah, I did. This is just so, I mean, such a slap in the face. Yes, it is.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Let me tell you what he did first, because it's going to get you angry. And then let me tell you what I think has to happen at this point. So a little background on it. Mike Flynn, Lieutenant General Mike Flynn, who we were talking about before, who was a victim of the fake news cycle. Mike Flynn was prosecuted by witch hunter Bob Mueller for making false statements to the FBI, despite the fact, now we know this, by the way, due to unredactions by Devin Nunes in the House investigative report, for crimes the FBI themselves don't believe Flynn committed. Flynn spoke with the Russian ambassador as the incoming national security advisor nothing wrong
Starting point is 00:40:45 with that by the way about a sanctions policy right Flynn did not remember that when he spoke to the FBI so he he didn't know if he had spoken about the sanctions or not now there's a reason I'll get to that in a second Flynn Mike Flynn an American, was prosecuted and charged with false statements to the FBI, despite the fact that the FBI agents interviewing him did not believe he was lying to them. We know that because Jim Comey told the House that, despite the fact, ironically, Joe, that Jim Comey is now lying about that. Right. Jim Comey is in the media saying, I don't remember saying we thought mike flynn wasn't being deceptive it's in the transcript jim it was just unredacted
Starting point is 00:41:30 just look at what you said no evidence of physical deception eye contact indicated there was no deception so you're prosecuting an american hero, a decorated military officer, for false statements you guys didn't believe were false. Excuse me. Remember, though, how that case started. The genesis of that was Sally Yates, Obama bootlicker, who was in the Department of Justice in a upper level management position. I think she was the acting attorney general deputy at the time. Sally Yates, obviously an Obama, a partisan. She's a politician, Sally Yates, nothing more.
Starting point is 00:42:16 She's not a legitimate lawyer. She's not a blind justice operator. She's nothing but a politician and a flunky for Obama. Sally Yates and Obama don't like Flynn. So they decide they're going to go after Flynn. But they don't have anything on Flynn. He's a military officer. They don't have a crime on Flynn.
Starting point is 00:42:34 So they invent a crime. That crime was the Logan Act. The Logan Act, which has never been successfully prosecuted in the history of the United States. It is a joke. It is the jaywalking of federal. It's not even the jaywalking, as I say, because people have actually been gotten tickets for jaywalking. The Logan Act is a unconstitutional, unserious law that's not taken seriously by anyone.
Starting point is 00:42:57 Sally Yates and Obama's team come up with this scheme that, oh, Flynn was talking to the Russian ambassador. Yeah. While he wasn't the official national security advisor yet. He was just incoming. Well, the Logan Act prohibits private citizens from conducting diplomacy with foreign governments, by the way, which is entirely unconstitutional. So we're going to go and interview Flynn.
Starting point is 00:43:16 That's how the whole interview started with the FBI that they claimed he was lying in. Are you tracking me, Joe? 10-4. They had no crime to interview him for. So they walk in and go, hey, let's get him on the Logan Act. Has anybody ever been prosecuted Logan Act? No, but we can start now. We're Obama.
Starting point is 00:43:32 This is the Obama team. Let's be inventive. Let's be creative. Let's be judicial entrepreneurs. We can find something. Let's get him on felonious mopery. No, no, I got a better one. Let's use the Logan Act. Because he talked to the Russian ambassador. He was the incoming national security advisor. Folks, this is a joke. If the Logan Act were serious, Dennis Rodman would be in jail for going to North Korea. So would other private citizens who've gone all the Palestinians and everywhere else trying to conduct, quote, diplomacy. conduct quote diplomacy why am i bringing up this old story again oh breaking news this weekend don't miss this piece in the show notes at bongino.com by the way please read it because
Starting point is 00:44:12 it'll show you the utter complete frauds total phonies the moral vacuum these these these dirty liberals live in they are dirty they. They're dirty, filthy players. We find out this weekend that John Kerry, private citizen, Joe, no formal government title at all, has been doing what? He's been negotiating with the Iranians to save the Iran deal. The Iranians. The death to America crowd. Read the, you think I'm making this up? Death to America crowd.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Read the, you think I'm making this up? John Kerry, private citizen, no formal government role now whatsoever, has been negotiating with the Iranians to save the Iran deal, which creates a path to a nuclear weapon for the Iranians. Do you believe this? Do you believe what I'm telling you right now?
Starting point is 00:45:01 Now, I could drone on and whine on about this all day. Prosecute John Kerry. Now, I get it. There are going to be a lot of you out there, and I understand this. I know because I'll get your emails. There are some of you who will say, you know, Dan, you're saying on one hand
Starting point is 00:45:21 that the Logan Act is a joke. It's a farce. It is. It's potentially unconstitutional. The case would probably be thrown out in court. That's fine. Don't care. They say, well, Dan, we're stooping to their level now.
Starting point is 00:45:34 No, no, no, no, no. We're not stooping to anything. Here's, prosecute John Kerry. If anyone in the Justice Department is listening, prosecute John Kerry today. I'm not kidding. Prosecute. You know why? This will never, ever stop. Folks, the rule of law is done. Don't, please,
Starting point is 00:45:52 email me, whatever. I'll read it anyway because I appreciate your emails, but let me just counteract this immediately. If your email is going to say, Dan, we're never going to get back to the rule of law if we violate the rule of law. You're telling me it's unconstitutional. Folks, the rule of law if we violate the rule of law. You're telling me it's unconstitutional.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Folks, the rule of law is gone. You understand it's done? They have spied on the Trump team with no evidence. They have prosecuted members of the Trump team in malicious prosecutions out the wazoo. They have bankrupted families. Remember the Michael Caputo piece I talked about last week? This guy who just volunteered for the Trump team who's been bankrupted emptied his kids college fund to defend himself against false charges the rule of law is gone it's done it's been swept out of the house there's nothing left in order to get back to
Starting point is 00:46:37 the rule of law and to show the democrats the folly of having scrapped the constitutional republic in favor of absurd outrageous emotional attacks on president trump and everyone in his orbit the only way the only way to get back to the rule of law and they get back to the starting line in a legitimate constitutional republic is to take the rules that the democrats are using against us and And turn them on them. It's the only way. Prosecute John Kerry. Prosecute him. Make him do exactly what Mike Flynn was forced to do. Send the FBI to his house.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Interview Mike Flynn. Excuse me. Just like they interviewed Flynn. Send the FBI to John Kerry's house. Interview him. I get it. His wife's a quadrillionaire or whatever. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:47:26 Interview John Kerry. Prosecute him. I get it. His wife's a quadrillionaire or whatever. I don't care. Interview John Kerry, prosecute him, file charges on Logan Act violations. And by the way, if he doesn't answer every single question honestly, prosecute him for false charges, just like Papadopoulos and Mike Flynn were charged. He doesn't want a lawyer, subpoena him. I mean, excuse me, he doesn't want to talk, get a subpoena for him. He doesn't want, you subpoena him get a subpoena for him he doesn't want he can still plead the fifth make him talk about someone else go after John Kerry
Starting point is 00:47:51 prosecute John Kerry today you went after and you destroyed a man's life over the Logan Act now let's see how by the way one more point on this too if I can just return to it because the initial comment I kind of glossed over it but this is important Now let's see how, by the way, one more point on this too. If I can just return to it, because the initial comment, I kind of glossed over it, but this is important. Here's what's fascinating, more hypocrisy about the liberals who are now Jim Comey acolytes that love him.
Starting point is 00:48:17 Former FBI director. Comey clearly, clearly says in this transcript that the FBI agents who interviewed Mike Flynn, who was charged with false statements, did not believe he was being deceptive. How exactly you make a false statement, a lying charge, while simultaneously claiming the guy you're interviewing isn't being deceptive is a construction of only a hack like Jim Comey. And then he lies about it in the interview with Brett Barrett. I don't remember saying that.
Starting point is 00:48:47 No, Jim, it's in the transcript. I don't remember saying it. Well, oh, you don't remember? So we're supposed to give you a pass because, see where I'm going with this, Joe? You're supposed to give me a pass, Jim Comey a pass, because now he's misremembering.
Starting point is 00:48:59 But notice, Joe, Mike Flynn got no such pass when he was asked to remember the conversation with the Russian ambassador. Mike Flynn got no such pass when he was asked to remember the conversation with the Russian ambassador. No, Mike Flynn, no signs of deception at all. They thought he may have been having some trouble recalling it by his memory. They didn't believe he was lying. But there was no accommodation for Mike Flynn at all for these so-called memory issues Jim Comey seems to be having now on the campaign trail for his book. And Jim Comey, this phony fake fraud
Starting point is 00:49:28 jim comey who i have zero respect for now gets all the accommodations in the world for left oh he's just misremembering oh like you make mike flynn no no no he lied yeah but they said he um okay whatever racist transphobic islamophobic phobic phobicistaphobe uh what huh you understand the intellectual black hole liberals live in i'm not knocking on democrats but liberals are sincerely some of the dumbest people on the planet i know i'm gonna get some i get it dan you know we're trying to convert liberals. Don't talk. No, no, I'm not. I'm not. It's not. We're not trying to do that. I am not converting liberals on the show. They are lost. They are lemmings. They are, they live in a black hole. I never want to understand. I'm not trying to go there. I'm not trying to rescue them. What I'm trying to do is salvage maybe the 10 or 15% of the population that's registered Democrat
Starting point is 00:50:25 that still doesn't understand that the party's been hijacked by a bunch of Looney Tunes idiots. I don't care about the radical left at all. I am tired of being nice to them. I am tired of placating them. Prosecute them. Use the same rules they used against Mike Flynn. Put John Kerry in handcuffs and perp walk him. You know what, Joe?
Starting point is 00:50:46 Serve a search warrant just like you did to Paul Manafort's house at 4 o'clock in the morning when they woke up his wife in her nightclothes. Yeah. Let's see how that goes. Oh my gosh, we can't do it. Why not? They did it to Manafort. Hey, Dan, that's not the rule of law.
Starting point is 00:51:00 There is no what rule. What are you talking about? They bankrupted a decorated military officer and the incoming national security advisor for no crime at all. Now, two more points on this. This is important. And trust me on this one. I'm asking you, please. Why did Mike Flynn not just say to the FBI agents that he had spoken to the Russian ambassador about the sanctions?
Starting point is 00:51:31 Folks, Mike Flynn was on vacation when that call was received. Mike Flynn was the director of the Department of, excuse me, the DIA, Defense Intelligence Agency. Joe, you think Mike Flynn is a former senior, high-ranking, decorated military officer who's been in intel his entire career? You think he knew on a phone overseas in the Dominican he was probably being listened to talking to the Russian ambassador? Yeah, I think so. I'd say yes, Joe. That's a good analysis. Very good.
Starting point is 00:51:57 Now, you were not an intel officer or secret service agent or anything like that. No, I'm not, Dan. And you can pretty much figure out that Mike Flynn knew he was being listened to, right? That I can, Dan. Mike Flynn, by the way, when he's interviewed by these FBI agents at the White House, doesn't request an attorney or anything like that. He talks with them freely. What I'm trying to tell you is Mike Flynn didn't remember the conversation for a reason.
Starting point is 00:52:19 Mike Flynn was on vacation at the time. Mike Flynn was taking a break before he got into office. What do people do on vacation? They probably go out, have a good time. I'm not telling you, Mike Flynn. I'm just saying. Maybe Mike Flynn had been out. It was late at night.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Maybe he was out with his family. Maybe, you know. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Mike Flynn did not remember the conversation. Just like Jim Comey mysteriously doesn't remember saying Mike Flynn wasn't being deceptive. It's because he wasn't.
Starting point is 00:52:57 He really could not recall the specifics of what they talked about. Mike Flynn knew he was being listened to. If Mike Flynn thought he was under a criminal investigation and thought he was going to lie, don't you think he would have said, Joe, I need the White House lawyer or some lawyer here? That's not what he said. He talked with him openly and freely.
Starting point is 00:53:14 And what did he get for it? Handcuffs. Disgraceful. Prosecute John Kerry today. All right, what's my last story? Oh, oh, oh. Wait, can I just give you, so I'm running out of time,
Starting point is 00:53:32 so I want to give you some economic numbers quick, and then I'll get this last story, because this is going to be in the show notes. This is from the Wall Street Journal today, their opinion column, but it's not, you know, it's subscriber only, so I'm going to leave it out, but I want to just give you some quick numbers,
Starting point is 00:53:42 because Democrats out there will continue to tell you how Trump is a big racist and doesn't like hispanics or immigrants or whatever and i found these numbers to completely knock that argument out of the park it's stupid it's silly it's made up it's fabricated but here are some numbers for you to back it up so the jobless rate has fallen joe to a remarkable 3.9%. Really nice job by the Trump administration. Joe, it's even better. Black unemployment, the jobless rate is down 1.3 percentage points to 6.6. It has been below 7% now for the last four or five months. That's a record. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:54:19 Hispanic unemployment has matched record lows, 4.8%. Also, people without a college diploma, workers 25 or older, employees 25 or older, the crowd that, you know, the so-called like, you know, the middle-class worker that the Democrats are supposed to champion, unemployment rates down to 5.9%. Folks, why am I even bringing this up before I get to the story? Everything the Democrats are telling you about taking care of the black community, the Hispanic community, you know, the forgotten guy without the college diploma. That's actually happening under Trump. That's happening now. It wasn't happening under Obama.
Starting point is 00:55:00 You can argue that all you want about how Obama took care of the little guy. You're just factually wrong. You're just incorrect. And you're just making it up. It's actually happening now under Trump. You do what you want. You vote for who you want for. I'm not.
Starting point is 00:55:13 This isn't a tutorial on. It's not. You want to on voting and voting practices. Do what you want. I'm just telling you, you are categorically voting against your interests. If the economy is one of your primary, is your big impetus to go out and vote, and you're voting for the Democrats because they are not on your team. Those numbers are down to record lows under Trump, not under Obama, who had eight years to turn it around and screwed it up at every single turn.
Starting point is 00:55:42 All right, here's the last story. This is in the show notes. Please read this today. It's an IJ Independent Journal Review article. It's a really good one. I'll be chatting about this tonight on my NRA TV show too. There are a couple of Minnesota state, Democrat state senators that came out and opposed a bill to put posters that say,
Starting point is 00:56:04 in God we trust, in public schools. Oh, yeah. I saw that. You saw this? Now, one of them gives a speech remarkably and says he's offended by this in God we trust. I was on Fox and Friends this morning, and I just wanted to sum up the show by saying this, folks. Understand why this is happening from the larger 30 000 foot view the radical far left does not want competition for the state steve ducey i guess liked it because he asked me to
Starting point is 00:56:33 repeat it he goes dan say that again like what exactly do you mean the radical far left needs you surgically attached to government for everything for your financial well-being, for your healthcare, for your kids schooling, everything. Big government is it. It is their only ethos. It's what they live by. It's their every breathing moment is detaching you from your family and attaching you to the government. One of the things that gives you your individual big R rights, one of the house we built it on is the idea that these are God, capital G, God-given rights. The left can't have that. God is competition for them, for the state. Think about why. It's very simple.
Starting point is 00:57:19 I could get into the anti-anti-communist stuff and the other stuff I've gone into on other shows. Maybe I will another day. But this is really simple. the anti-anti-communist stuff and the other stuff I've gone into on other shows, and maybe I will another day, but this is really simple. If you believe that rights, little r rights, come from the state, the right to keep your money, therefore the state can change it. Well, the state says, now, Joe, you can only keep 20%. We used to say you can keep 80%. Now we're going to flip it. You're going to give us 80%. If you're a liberal and you believe that, yet you're a conservative and you believe that you have
Starting point is 00:57:45 your big r rights to your own financial well-being your big r rights to your own right to protect yourself your big r rights to your own health care life liberty and the pursuit of happiness are granted by god not government that is in direct conflict with this big government ethos the left lives by it's as simple as that it's competition they need to gov the government to dictate the rules not god and we use god as our staple as our lodestar they use government it's competition this is a very deliberate tactic by the left this war on god and this war on religion it's not a mistake but i want you to read the piece and read some of the quotes. The guy finds it offensive. This is the lurch of the left. It is only going to get worse. Now, I said I don't get the strategy,
Starting point is 00:58:31 and I don't. I get what they're doing. I mean, I just explained to you what they're doing. But what I don't get, Joe, is they seem to think that faith-based folks are going to take this lying down, and they're not. No, no, no, no. They are going to act out at the election booth. They are going to act out as activists. And of course, again, the violent stuff is for the left, but they are not going to take this lying down. The Democrats, you are going to continue to hemorrhage voters as you continue to savage religion and God at every opportunity.
Starting point is 00:59:00 It's really, really pathetic. One of the dumbest political strategies I've ever seen. But as I tweeted out this weekend, keep it libs watch your party just club you're going to be a radical group of 10 percenters that's it you're going to have about 10 of the population you'll be left with nothing insane all right folks thanks again for tuning in i really appreciate it big news tomorrow about um the store i know you were all excited about that.
