You know, I got bit in the cheek when I was, did you know that? When I was younger. Yeah.

But in the show notes today at Bongino.com, if you subscribe to my email list, which we would deeply appreciate, we will email these articles to you. There is a piece by Victor Davis Hanson that talks about the meltdown of the left and

there's a genuine concern expressed in the piece by a guy, by the way, Joe, who is a very sober analyst, Victor Davis Hanson. If you've seen him on Fox, he's not a hysterical commentator. He's a very level-headed, down-to-earth guy. He's a respected cable news voice, and he is genuinely concerned about the rage and psychopathy on the left

and concerned about, is there a limit here? Joe, a serious question I think you and I have both addressed both on and off the air. Joe and I are friends. Is there a limit to their behavior? If you're willing to talk about the president in terms of treason, the penalty for treason, by the way, is death. If you're willing to engage in comedy, and believe me, I'm using the word word comedy loosely where the president is decapitated

there was a new yorker cover of him being killed by an escalator um if you're willing to do this is there any real limit to your behavior we've seen attacks physical attacks multiple multiple times physical attacks on people for just wearing make america great again hats what is the limit point what is that choke point for your behavior and and davis hansen's like i don't really know the fact that we can't answer that question is disturbing now yep i got a packed show for you on this here's what he says i tried to sum up this fantastic piece into three takeaway bullet points um to save you time if you can't read it and you just want to know the takeaways. Now, to be clear, what he's trying to explain away here is why the left has always been,

the radical left has always been a bit deranged. We know they've had a love affair with violence. But why now, Joe, is it even creeping into mainstream Democrat politics where people are losing their minds? So he has three basic explanations. And number one, the left in this election, folks, did not just lose the presidency. They didn't. They lost everything. They lost their plan to solidify the Obama agenda, Obamacare, the tax heights, the regulatory regime. They lost everything. They've lost the House of Representatives during the Obama years. They've lost the U.S. Senate. They're now losing their control over the courts. They're losing their control over the Supreme Court. They've lost control over governorships, even in blue states. Joe lives in Maryland. Deep blue Maryland. The governor there is a Republican. The governor of deep blue

Massachusetts is a Republican. The governor of Chicago, excuse me, Chicago, the governor of Illinois, the mayor of Chicago is a Democrat. The governor of Illinois is a Republican. They lost everything in this election. They lost everything over the eight years of Obama. They had hoped in this election, all of those cumulative losses, this is important folks, all of those cumulative losses, state level seats, state level delegate seats, state-level delegate seats, state senate seats, governorships. You understand at the end of the Obama administration, they had placed

all their hopes, Joe. If this doesn't make sense, stop me. They had placed all their hopes in this electoral win by Hillary Clinton to rescue and salvage the eight years of Obama that, Joe, even some hardcore Democrats are starting to acknowledge was a complete failure. Yep, gotcha, Dan you see what i'm saying at the end of it i used to talk about a real clear politics piece that when you measure democrat unified collective

party power at the state federal and local level the end of the eight years of obama while unquestionably a legislative success for the democrats at the executive level where they implemented Obamacare regulations tax hikes was ladies and gentlemen a cataclysmic apocalyptic disaster everywhere else absolutely even the most hard core of Democrats are starting to understand that now the fact that they were hanging their hat entirely on a presidential election shows how devoid of any ideas they were. They knew their ideas are not now. Now that they've taken a far left lurch towards the Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, socialism model of government. They know this only applies in Chicago, New York and L.A.

That's it. So they know that they had to rely almost exclusively on the popular vote. They were hoping some of the swing states, Florida and Pennsylvania would break Hillary's way. Matter of fact, they knew they would, and they thought they'd retain executive power, even though they've lost power everywhere else.

Folks, the piece eloquently lays out the fact that they lost everything. They had entirely hung their hats on this. Point number two, because point number one and two are easy. They lost that. Can we get that? They lost the race. Point number two. I think this is two are easy they lost that can we get that they lost

the race point number two i think this is obvious too but it's worth repeating so you understand the bedrock of their rage their uncontrollable rage at this point they never saw this coming folks they never saw it coming they were not emotionally prepared for this there is no credible political analyst who was predicting an overwhelming electoral college victory for donald trump not i can't find one now if if you go back on soundcloud and you read i hate to say this keep saying but it's important because we were actually out in the streets giant said to joe daily before the election trump's gonna win trump's gonna trump's gonna win if you look at my, if you read, excuse me, if you listen to the show the night before the election, that you'll see Joe and I had called just about every stage because I was out there campaigning myself, knocking on doors and talking to people. a bubble the media gaslighting narrative was that trump was going to get smoked and it was over

they had repeated that so often amongst amongst themselves it seemed almost tautological right when i was out there joe you remember me telling you this i was running for congress this important story and my campaign manager at the time i was still doing my podcast had given me walk lists of what they call like four by four Republican voters. Yeah. Yeah. Republican voters who had voted in the last four general elections in the last four primaries. Why? Because I was running in a primary in Florida myself. And obviously, if you're running in a Republican primary in Florida, who can vote?

Republicans. And who votes in primaries? Loyal Republicans. So you don't want to waste your time knocking on a lot of doors that are not, in fact, Republicans, because they can't vote for you in a primary. Now, in a general, yes, they can if they're registered. But in a primary, you only knock on four by four Republican doors. OK, so I get these walk lists and I'm knocking on doors and I'm passing all of these houses, folks, in Cape Coral. I remember this. Or someone said to me recently cape corral i was like what

cape coral i'm knocking on doors and the way cape coral's set up if you've ever been down there is there's a bunch of canals running through the place so you basically go down a street and almost every street there ends in a cul-de-sac so you have to turn around walk back out cross a highway go to the it's almost impossible to get ahead of steam going walking because you constantly have to get back in your car. Why does that matter? Because I'm knocking on the doors, Joe. And if there's say 10 blocks in a cul-de-sac before I got to get back in a car, you don't want to get back in the car without knocking on every door. Right. So I'd be passing all these houses with these Trump signs and I'd be like, wait, why aren't they on my list? So eventually, I called the campaign manager. I'm like, hey,

why are these homes not on my list? She's like, Dan, they don't vote. So I started knocking on the door of the Trump side. They were not on my list, and I'd say, hey, listen, I'm Dan Bongino, running for Congress here. I noticed you got a Trump sign out front. You plan on voting in a Republican primary? Hell yeah. Have you voted before? No, not really. Why are you voting now?

Because Donald Trump. I like Trump. Folks, it was a method to our madness. Listen to the show the night before Election Day. Joe and I called every swing state, and I told that exact same story. How I'm telling you, and the reason this was not showing up in the polls, and it goes to show you the power of the D.C. narrative, Joe, is when these people were being polled by phone, when they were polled, a lot of these pollsters were polling who? Likely voters. Yeah.

Joe, were these people likely voters? No. No. No. Because they'd never voted before. Right. They weren't, quote, likely voters. But they were likely voters.

Matter of fact, they were guaranteed voters. Donald Trump had just pulled them out of the forest into the open. The electoral forest. They never saw this coming the dc intelligentsia and the libs never ever saw this coming they have and and it's the it's almost like psychologically the effect on them is twice as damaging it's like someone telling you the only analogy i can think of is that you're going to win the lottery that it's written in the bank bank, the thing's a fix, right? You're going to win the lotto, you're going to get 5 million. And not only do you find out that the fix isn't in, you're not getting 5 million, but it was a

setup by the cops, and now you're going to jail and you're going to lose everything. Not only did you not win 5 million, you're now finished. Do you understand how psychologically more traumatic that is than just taking a fall? It's like, you know, you think you're going to be walked around on a feather bed pillow and someone slams you on the concrete. You're not expecting it. The Democrats were not expecting this. So, number one, they lost everything. Number two, they didn't not only think they weren't going to lose everything, they thought they were going to win back the presidency and solidify the obama agenda point number three though is critical because

it's going to lead into something that happened yesterday with the republicans and richard burr the clueless senator he's a republican senator by the way this guy's another one of these swamp rats um these guys are just lost but point number three is critical not only joe did they lose everything not only did they think they were going to win everything back and lose everything, so they weren't expecting it, but they thought it was the end of the GOP. This is a brilliant piece. Now, he doesn't say this exactly,

so forgive me for his synopsis of it, because he's a very, very good and talented writer, and I suggest you read the piece for a full scope of his ideas, but I have an hour to get to you takeaways, and this is one of the takeaways and the key you read the piece for a full scope of his ideas but i have an hour to get to you takeaways and this is one of the takeaways and the key insights from the piece i think is really really really good that a lot of other people aren't writing about it's not just they thought they were going to win joe they thought trump was so bad and it was going to be such an electoral landslide because they were not on the ground talking to real people because they exist in the dc bubble they talk to each other not actual people like i was doing during the election i'm not listen it's it wasn't a skill i wanted i wanted

to win a primary we didn't win i was talking to people because i wanted to win they don't want to win the war of ideas they want to tell a narrative the narrative was Trump sucks. They were convinced the liberal media, rhino, swamp rat, Obama, Clinton elites, that not only were they going to win, but it was the absolute end of the GOP that Trump was so bad that there was going to be a revolution in American politics, a liberal revolution that Hillary was going to win so overwhelmingly. There were predictions. Chris Silliza, who I addressed yesterday, the clown. Silliza wrote a piece in the Washington Post saying that Trump had a 0% chance of winning. I saved that.

That's my favorite headline. I have a screenshot of that. I use repeatedly. 0%, not even 0 percent which is ridiculous there are people who actually believed that donald trump would win maybe texas a couple other uh you know states in the midwest and that was it and they thought joe that by doing that the victory would be so overwhelming that it would be the equivalent of a Reagan revolution on the left. I remember watching the day before the election and all the talking heads up there,

every one of them were waiting for Hillary to come into office. All the networks. And it speaks to, yeah, the media cocoon they live in. You're right. I mean, you're absolutely right. It was a unanimous decision that he was going to lose. So folks, what they were referring to was a popular mandate to wipe conservatism clean, to wipe this anti-establishment, anti-swamp stuff out. They thought it was the end of the GOP. Now, they were so sure of it. They were so sure all this was going to happen, as Hanson points out in a piece, Joe, that they were willing to do things that some of them, I think, are going to be

proven to be illegal. We have Spygate, all this other stuff we got into. And ladies and gentlemen, this is where I want to go to the next thing. They thought there would be no accountability for this at all. Remember, they thought he was going to win. He didn't. They thought he was going to win convincingly. He didn't.

They never saw it coming, the loss. Therefore, they expected no accountability for spygate and everything else they'd been involved in to completely discredit this guy they thought this was the end of the gop that the gop was going to take a generation to repair themselves they were ushering in a new era of liberal fdr like New Deal type politics. That all went away. That all went away. Now their rage is they cannot, they simply don't know how to respond. I described to you yesterday, I think in pretty decent detail, how the left, how they're making tactical mistakes they hadn't made in the past. You may not like the left. You may not like liberals. That's fine. I certainly don't like

their ideas. But folks, I'm telling you, they're usually tactically smarter than this they don't realize by doubling and tripling down on russia they are playing in to trump i'm telling you trump is laying a trap for them he has seen the declassified information forgive me by the way yesterday i kept saying redaction i meant declassified but you know i get lost in shows so i get a thousand emails on some i you know what i meant but uh the trump has seen the declassified information the reason he is insisting the redaction stay at this point i'm telling you is because the democrats are playing into a trap this information is a complete loser when it's unredacted for the democrats a loser it is a total loser they know

it they just can't get away from this because they are so they're so astonished at what happened. It's like they've been, you know, they've been knocked out in a prize fight. They get up and and the referees raising their hands to see if and they just can't do it. They can't do it. They can't get their arms back up. Now, why is this important? I wasn't going to talk about this today, but I read this piece and I thought it was great. Because the liberals are losing their minds, ladies and gentlemen.

They're losing their minds and they're now venturing into actual violence. There was a piece out yesterday, a video piece, you may have seen it, about a liberal group attacking a guy. There was a guy in, was it Seattle, ripping a maga hat off a guy uh these attacks have gotten i've gotten a little bit out of hand yeah now keep in mind the how do i say this i want to make sure i get this out the right way trump and the rage machine on the left has managed to entirely flip the script on the Democrats. Democrats narrative in the past and the liberal narrative in the past against Republicans is critical. You understand this was always that they were a bunch of, you know, violent, fascist, deranged lunatics,

racist to be afraid of misogynist. They don't like women, minorities, none of that, that they were something to be feared. That was the narrative. What Trump has managed to do by inspiring this sense of liberal rage, which he has, I mean, it's out of control based on those three factors. They lost everything, never saw it coming. And I thought it'd be the end of the GOP, right? He's inspired this sense of rage, which has led to actual violence, repeated violence, multiple episodes that come out daily. You can see them on Twitter. Some of these videos are horrible. Just wear a MAGA hat. You're almost guaranteed repeated violence multiple uh you know episodes that come out daily you can see them on twitter some of these videos are horrible just wear a maga hat you're almost guaranteed to get attacked in a liberal city now it flips them it flips them for real totally flips them

the narrative has been flipped on its head head the ubiquitous nature of cell phone cameras video taking devices whatever even the ipads whatever the ubiquitous nature has enabled the public to get on video incidents in the past that would have been suppressed by the media it's important and now we're starting to see that the actual violence the violence that's going on out there is not a function of conservative politics it is a function of liberal politics it has flipped the script on its head completely trump did this the narrative has been entirely overturned because people are starting to see what liberals are in real life. The radical left has embraced violence as a tactic.

But this is what we've been told, by the way. This is what we've been told about Republicans for years. He's entirely flipped the script. Now, a lot of moderates who may have leaned democrat in the past are like hey this isn't my party why do you think trump won pennsylvania i get texts from a union friend of mine who's in a union in new york he shall remain nameless because if i say his name he'll probably be fired tomorrow who's like oh my guys love trump they're sick of all this leftist nonsense he has managed to entirely flip the script now ladies and gentlemen keep in mind another piece here by

the way i saw william galston wall street journal ties into this oh gosh i got so much to get to man i'm sorry folks i just i love this show so much i don't want to leave anything out william galston wall street journal today he says the three reasons trump remains popular so all ties in amongst the gop base near record levels of popularity amongst the GOP base. Despite a lot of what the press would characterize as missteps, some Trump himself has taken back, right? Three reasons. Number one, the economy's moving.

The economy's moving rapidly in a positive direction. Number two, he kept his word. You may not like it. I certainly don't like the tariffs, but it's not like he hit his disdain for trade policies. All right. The man's kept his word. But number three is important. Again, so he's number three, right?

Number three in both pieces. Joe, Trump has shown a disdain for cultural elites that has been brewing in the conservative movement for a long time. Yep. And I took a note up here at the top. Conservatives have been itching for a fight. Libertarians, moderate, and a lot of moderate Republicans too, for a really long time, folks. And Trump gave it to them. Trump did not kowtow to the media. He did not genuflect before them. He did not genuflect in front of academic elites. He basically gave the middle finger to the foreign policy establishment. The cultural elites who have been lecturing us forever about how stupid we are, how we're a

bunch of dumb, gun-toting, Bible-toting idiots. Deplorables. Deplorables. Trump has been, we have been itching for a fight, and Trump gave it to him. Now, having said that, I want you to understand something. This ties into what happened yesterday. The GOP, ladies and gentlemen, Republicans are not your friend. Listen, I got screwed over yesterday again by a politician. Let me just tell you.

Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you later. You didn't tell me. Yeah, because I'm just ridiculous i don't know why i put any my wife has warned me repeatedly to never ever ever get involved with paul and she's right like just ladies and gentlemen i'm telling you right now they're the worst the absolute worst the gop though is not your friend they are not your friend stop thinking that the gop is not conservatism is your friend. Libertarian conservative ideology is your friend. It is a place you can always retreat knowing you will be on the historical... In the arc of history, you'll be in the right. Aligning with party establishmentarians and politicians is the worst thing you can do. They are not your friend. article in the show notes today.

Actually, you know, I'm sorry, this one's on the show notes, but I saw this on Twitter, and it's important to bring up. Richard Burr, senator on the Senate Intelligence Committee, which has become a cesspool of anti-Trumpism. You got Rubio over there, you got Burr, you got Mark Warner, the Democrat, who I don't know what he's hiding. Matter of fact, I don't know what any of them are hiding.

Burr came out and said, if the American people ever learned anything from its release, talking about the FISA application release, it's that there was justification to the courts is why the FISA app was approved. Ladies and gentlemen, these guys are not your friends. This is a Republican senator from North Carolina who knows damn well what happened here. Here's what I think is going on. I think these guys the entire time were aware of this operation too. And in order to cover their tracks, they're the ones that want to give credibility to the FISA app because they know they're going to be exposed too. So they're desperate to make this story go away. And they think if they provide GOP air cover that Trump voters, because they're the Republicans, are somehow going to give it any more credibility.

I'm warning you. They are not your friends. These guys are not your friends. They will sell you out in a heartbeat. Stop thinking, oh, they're Republicans. They're on our side. They are not on your side. They are on the side of their pockets.

They are on the side of power. They are on the side of the swamp. Forget it. Because I love it when these liberal analysts on TV say, but a Republican said it. It means nothing. It means zero to me. Thank you very much.

Doesn't mean a damn thing. Burr, Rubio, all these guys. They were on the committee that had a guy who was under a federal investigation, this guy Wolf, for lying about leaked information. He was the guy on the Senate committee, the staffer. I don't trust any of them. Not one of them.

All right, I got a lot more to get to. Today's show also brought to you by our buddies at BrickHouse Nutrition. You know I love BrickHouse. They're one of my original sponsors. BrickHouse Nutrition, they're terrific. One of their products. Yes, I just talked about Field of Greens today. It is so hot in here today, folks.

Another piece by Byron York came out yesterday, which is absolutely terrific. It is outstanding. Byron York put out a piece in the Washington Examiner.

It'll be in the show notes. There's some tantalizing clues, ladies and gentlemen, tantalizing clues being dropped by the Republicans about what's going on here. Now, this is all going to be based on the 30,000-foot premise. Are you clear where I'm going to go with this? and gentlemen tantalizing clues being dropped by the republicans about what's going on here now this is all going to be based on the 30 000 foot premise are you clear where i'm going to go with this that the democrats yesterday i talked about the two-step what they're going to do is they're going to bounce back and forth between explanations and explaining away carter page to then explaining away papadopoulos and what their goal is is when the media is talking about carter page to talk

about papadopoulos assuming people haveter page to talk about papadopoulos assuming people have forgotten it then when the papadopoulos stuff gets hot again they're going to flip back to carter page it's going to be the dance the two-step page papadopoulos page papadopoulos there's now going to be a three-step the three-step from what i'm hearing from some good folks is the three-step now once they find out that the papadopoulos story because as i discussed on yesterday's show our most listened to show ever which we're staying now every day joe which is thanks to you we appreciate it i explained yesterday is they don't want to get into who

pushed the information into the trump team orbit and the questions surrounding joseph mifsud who was the initial and was the initiator i should say of the papadopoulos they have dirt on hillary's story if this guy was working for western intelligence agencies this whole case is going to explode it's already exploded but it's going to explode at uh it just nuclear levels right now they're starting to realize that that may be a problem too so now there's a third track the third track joe was going to be a verification is not necessary. They're starting to creep this out there now. Remember what I told you about the Woods procedure?

The Woods procedure is a procedure in the FBI and DOJ to verify information before it goes in front of the FISA court, right? The new line of attack is going to be, well, that's really not necessary, this thorough verification of all the information. Why they're going down that track, I can't give you a conclusive explanation. I can only tell you that my guess here is that they're realizing that whatever fork they take in a road, Carter Page, who was spied on with no verified information, not good. Papadopoulos, who we prosecuted despite the fact that a potential Western connected intelligence asset pushed the information to Papadopoulos, meaning he was framed. That's not good either. They know there's no way out.

So what are they going to do? Now they're going to push. Well, let's go back to Carter Page. But let's say, all right, we may have made a mistake, but verification is really not necessary. We were really worried he was a terrorist or a spy. So we had to just run with it. Folks, they have nowhere to go.

Now, how does this tie into the Byron York piece? Remember that there are people up in the House, Nunes and other folks in these committees. Don't forget this. There are folks, Republicans in the House and on the Senate side, too, who have seen the declassified, unredacted documents about why this whole case started. They haven't seen all of the DOJ or fbi records that's where this fight is brewing but the pfizer application they have seen most of what's in it the redacted copy you've seen obviously has blacked out information hence the redactions they dropped a hint yesterday they They want this closed, Joe. And I'm quoting Byron York here.

What is on pages 10 to 12 and 17 to 34 of the FISA application? He says, this is York. That is certainly a tantalizing clue dropped by the House Intel members, but it's not clear what it means. Comparing the relevant sections from the initial fisa application in october and the third renewal in june much appears the same but in pages 10 to 12 that they the republicans want redacted of the third renewal there's a slightly different headline the russian government's coordinated effort to influence the 2016 u.s presidential election plus a footnote seven lines long that was not in the original. Folks, the Republicans know something.

They have seen these redactions. Now, based on some research, I can't tell you because I've not seen the unredacted copy of the document. I can only tell you based on research surrounding the case and some information I've been working hard to develop that it may disclose, those footnotes may disclose some connections for information streams, again, that were not related to formal intelligence channels. In other words, the theory from the start that we've been operating on is that this case was not developed through standard protocol. If you develop intelligence in a Five Eyes country, intelligence cooperated with the United States against Donald Trump, you pass that information to your domestic intelligence agency, it passes it to the central intelligence agency they vet

the information before it makes it to the president's desk that is not the way this case worked may i suggest to you that the redactions describe other channels other channels of information that developed outside of those standard channels. Are we clear on this? I want to make clear what we're talking about. Standard way to do this is intel agency to intel agency to vet the information, check the information before it makes it to the president. The only reason you would go outside of that network with intelligence, specifically against a political candidate in the United States, is because you want to launder the information

without vetting it. You want to clean it to make it seem legitimate. We already know, based on public admissions by State Department officials on the Obama administration, that they used the State Department. We already know that there were people working for the Clinton team that met with people on the State Department. May I suggest that this describes an alternate information channel outside of the standard modus operandi here that is going to expose that this whole thing was an information laundering operation. The Republicans know something here, folks. They know something.

Now, making it even worse. Chuck Ross, great piece in the in the daily caller be up at the show notes today one of the all of the sources of information here that we know are connected all of the sources the people who have contacted the trump campaign were connected to either the fbi intelligence agencies that were not friends or or the Clinton team. Big news yesterday from Chuck Ross, who describes the Sergey Milian. Sergey Milian, according to multiple press reports, is one of the originators of the Trump was being blackmailed

or dealing with the Russians because they had compromising sexual material on him on tape. Multiple people have reported this. It's in the Chuck Ross piece. You can read it yourself. Sergei Millian is alleged to have been source D in the dossier for this information. Just to be clear here. clear here the guy in the dossier known as source d in the dossier that alleges that trump was working with the russians because they had compromising material a stunning allegation

stunning oh as it turns out he was described by fusion gps and glenn sim, the people hired to gin up information on the Trump team as quote, a big talker. Wait, what? So one of your major sources of information for a dossier, we now know you use to spy on American citizens. One of your bedrock sources in the dossier is described as, quote, a big talker. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no, is right. This gets this from the Chuck Ross piece. Oh, oh, it gets better. And I quote, Millian did have one known link to the Trump campaign.

In late July 2016, he reached out to George Papadopoulos. Oh, did he? Oh, did he? Wow. The Trump advisor who has pled guilty to lying to the FBI about the timing of his contacts with an alleged Russian agent. guilty to lying to the FBI about the timing of his contacts with an alleged Russian agent. Sources close to Papadopoulos have told the Daily Caller that he met Millian for the first time several days after Millian reached out to the campaign aide on LinkedIn and offered him $30,000 a month for a business deal that would require him to remain in the Trump orbit.

Whoa. Oh, yeah. In my best Barry White voice. Folks, I'm asking reasonable folks. I know a lot of you are. Listen to this. Are you starting to see a pattern here? Whether it's Stefan Halper approaching the Trump orbit, emailing Carter Page, discussing

information with Carter Page and trying to get while he's simultaneously working for U.S. intelligence assets to gather information on the Trump team, according to multiple reports. Whether it's Millian, who was used as a source in the dossier and is alleged by multiple reports to have been the source of the they have a tape on Trump. They have a sex tape on Trump. Millian offers him $30,000 a month as As long as he stays on the Trump team, who's million working for

million who fusion GPS hired by Hillary hired by Hillary gin up fake Trump information, right? Glenn Simpson, a fusion GPS describes million himself as quote, a big talker now we find out in the chuck ross piece too that christopher steel described the information he had the credibility of it is oh 50 50

50 folks to the hidden footnotes and the redactions in the FISA application, are they starting to make sense? The Democrats are locked in a corner. Do you remember the show I did about when I went to business school? I enjoyed it. I had a good time. They had this class. I remember this one class I was taking, and I was reading about how businesses take a bath sometimes. How when you have a bunch of negative news in one quarterly filing, you just put it out all at once.

Just get it. Take a bath. Get it all out. Let the stock price take a hit. We'll move on. Democrats, you got to take a bath. You have got to take a bath. There is nowhere.

I'm not talking about your hygiene. You have got to take a bath on this issue. You are caught. You are cold busted. You organized an operation to spy on a on what I believe to be a not guilty. I'm not saying innocent, a not guilty American citizen. set up another one in papadopoulos multiple multiple approaches to this guy by anyone and their mother trying to get this guy to talk about dirt on hillary you then arrested and prosecuted him for false statements to the fbi after you set him up take a bath these redactions when they are declassified and unredacted, are not going to help you. Guys, ladies, if they were, why would the Republicans up on the Hill who've seen them be asking them to be unredacted? Guys, does this make any sense?

Friends, supporters, liberals, anyone listening, does that make any sense to you? The argument that the liberals are putting out there because they refuse to take a bath on their new embrace of police state tyranny, the argument they're putting out there that we will be saved by the redactions, which when to be unredacted are republicans not only are they calling joe for unredactions and declassification they're citing specific sections of the document what does that tell you if you have even a modicum a scintilla of common it tells you that they're hiding something the democrats why the heck do you think the republicans would be calling for this folks i'm telling you what they're hiding they are hiding a deep bed of source networks based on credible information and reporting of people who reached out to the trump team for the sole purpose of planting and then removing information later about hillary hillary's emails with the dnc

to set them up as being integral players in a russian collusion narrative between trump and the russians over this dnc emails do you get what i'm telling you the whole bedrock case is trump colluded with the russ the Russians hacked the DNC. In order for that to happen, they need a fall guy. The fall guy was Papadopoulos. That's why all of these people, according to reports, Millian, Downer. We have Diagolaros approaching the Trump people. All of these people approaching Papadopoulos and Page,

they need a fall guy. They need to push information. We got dirt on Hillary. We got dirt on Hillary. To later pull out, to get them to say it later, to prove that they had dirt on Hillary. The Trump team, that is. But you can't prove they had dirt on Hillary

because they didn't. You have to push the information in. The push is the scam. The push is the scheme. The push is the potential crime. Depending on what happened here. Folks, this is a scam. The redactions, when unredacted, are not going to save them.

If they did, it would not be Republicans pushing for it. And the footnotes are going to be critical. That's why I think they want them declassified. Because it's the footnotes in the document where we've seen from reading the FISA application and the renewals, Joe, it's the footnotes where they try to bury information. In other words, instead of putting in the FISA application that this information was paid for by the Hillary Clinton

campaign to attack Donald Trump, they put in a footnote, source one paid a law firm against candidate one and candidate two. And why not just say Hillary's team did it? Oh, we didn't know. You see how it goes back to step three now no no you see how the step three is that we didn't verify it now step three will be well we didn't know hillary

paid for it because we didn't do our homework you're the fbi that's your job to vet the source go back to step three oh it's not really our job we're okay you see the three step now the two step thestep the three-step the two-step the three-step the narrative is going to change every day because they have nowhere to go they're in the corner they're taking body blows and they don't know what to they can't get out they cannot get out there is no there will be no saving you liberals married to this collusion thing there is no saving you eventually the truth is going to come out in total and when it comes out it is going to be even worse than it is now it is this listen to me this is never going to get better for you ever ever you are finished

i spend all my time on this case lately and most of the show because you are totally finished you spied your police state tyrants you're busted you can spin the store papadopoulos well it was page now we didn't have to verify it there's nothing that's going to save you here all right we got a new uh sponsor today last one and we i got a couple more stories i want to get to i also want to get to this one last thing about flip the script which i missed before don't let me forget that show the flip we'll flip you we'll flip you for this is important all right indo chino custom menswear indo chino indo ch these guys.

Because I have so much stuff I want to get out to you today.

Another important point about Trump flipping the script. And when I was talking about flipping the script before, I mean, the rage he's generated because of those three factors, the Dems have lost everything. They never saw it coming. And they thought it would be the end of the GOP. And it's been a, it's been a renaissance for the conservative movement, the court system, tax cuts, everything Trump's actually done deregulation. It's generated rage because the left has nowhere to go. Um, they bedrock themselves in government power. The leftist ideology is anchored in government power. Conservative ideology is anchored in spiritual power than the individual. I'm not trying to be a preacher. That's not my goal. I'm a sinner, folks. I'm just trying to tell you that conservatives believe in rights by God,

big R rights, as I call them. That's a bedrock of conservative ideology. They don't believe in the power of the state. They believe the state is there only to ensure rights you've been granted by a higher power. You need to be clear in understanding this. Conservatives are bedrock in family, spirituality, community, church, individual rights, subsidiarity. When they lose political power, they have something to fall back on. They fall back on an ideology they know is pure i've been given these rights by god no matter how bad the obama presidency is these are my big r rights and i'm going to fight for them with my last breath if i have to

liberals don't have that i'm not talking about democrats here a lot of democrats are very spiritual people i'm talking about the radical left The radical left has none of that. Their God is the golden calf of government. Their God is political power. When they lose political power and they lost everything, they have the lowest levels of power they've seen since 1928 based on the amount of political power they've lost at the state, federal, and local level. level. They have nothing to fall back on. There is no, there's no pillow when they hit the floor, they hit the concrete and their rage is that they get up, damn it, damn it, you know, screaming and yelling that they stubbed their toe. This rage is an extinction burst because they have nothing. There's nothing there. There's nothing left to fight for. They've lost everything. They see Donald Trump's approval ratings, not going down they see republican approval of obama excuse me at trump at historic levels republican disapproval of democrat policies at historic levels they have nowhere to go so it results in this rage and this rage is manifesting itself in

real world violence why does this matter because folks i've done a lot of homework on, you may, you may wonder, I know you may, a lot of you, maybe you've seen me on TV or cable or, you know, you watch my NRE TV show. Um, and maybe the halo effect kicks in. I don't know if it's because of my square jaw, my 200 now 35 pounds. I don't know. A lot of people are surprised that I, I don't know why, but I got a lot of emails on this. It's the only reason I bring this up, but I see some surprise when I read their emails that I am a firm, staunch, near almost absolute believer in nonviolence. Again, I don't know why that surprises people, but it does.

And Joe, I'm only basing this on a voluminous amount of emails I get on this topic. Some people are actually mad at me. They think, well, we got to fight back. No, we should always defend ourselves. God forbid someone attacks you. But I am an absolute believer in nonviolence. Again, I don't know why that surprises people. But I think I owe you an explanation.

I want to show you why this is backfiring on the left. The left, the radical left is now embracing violence as a tactic. When you actually research, Joe, the political effectiveness of violent versus nonviolent movements, and by the way, obviously there's a moral and ethical component to it

that I've already discussed on other shows. I'm just leaving that out now. It's there, but I don't, you know,'s there, but this isn't going to be a preachy show. From a pure tactical perspective, I'm trying to tell you why the left's embrace of violence can't possibly win. That's where we're going with this. When you actually do your homework on this, you see you have a far greater chance of succeeding in long-lasting political change by embracing nonviolence as a movement. The evidence is crystal clear, folks. And some of there's a number of different hypotheses out

there as to why this is. But the two that creep up in a lot of the research on this is number one is an obvious one. People have a natural fear of violence. We're not dogs. Dogs are great. They're the most they attack you. They have no fear. A dog attacks you and you're the owner. A dog will go at a bear. No problem at all. Human beings are sentient, I think therefore I am beings. And they can think out the consequences of their actions. And there's a natural fear of violence because they understand that if I do this then. Dogs don't say that do you understand that this is important this is not a dumb point here i'm trying to make just for this

dogs don't say if i attack this bear could kill me dogs just say they are fiercely loyal and fear to them is not a natural response i mean dogs get are capable of fear but they can't think things through in the future of their actions so they attack in defense human beings will attack but attack, but there's a fear of like, well, what if he attacks back? Is he going to choke me? Is he going to punch me? Is he going to pull out a gun? There's a natural fear of violence. That's one of the main reasons, obviously, violence as a political movement is never

going to work for long lasting change, thankfully. Secondly, though, when you look at the research on this topic this is why the left was is going to this is all they have now the radical left this is violence violent movements are less likely to provoke a government response as well governments over time even in tyrannical regimes want to appear that they're on the moral arc of history on the right side or else they lose popular support and you have a revolt. Violent political action tends to provoke a violent government response as well, which even people, you know, work for the, are not comfortable with that. People are not thankfully naturally comfortable with violence. I'm telling you this,

this is an important point. And when Victor Davis Hanson brings up in his piece today, that there's no natural limit to the rage on the left. And I'm telling you this is an important point and when victor davis hansen brings up in his in his piece today that there's no natural limit to the rage on the left and i'm telling you they've been they've been actively now there are multiple incidents of violence this is a big big loser for them people have a natural fear of violence violence will provoke a government response of violence this is this will not work this is not a sustainable political movement for them and i left that out before folks you know i i i hate talking about this stuff at school because it makes you sound like you're trying to sound smarter than i'm not i just when i was in my graduate program for neuropsychology and behavior learning i i was very i became almost enthralled with the inner workings of the human mind

when I read things like this, which are sometimes sociological, sometimes psychological. I'm fascinated by it. Okay, violent movements don't work generally. Well, why? What's the reason? And it's easily explainable

when you do just a cursory analysis of it. The left is resorted to a tactic that can't possibly work and is not sustainable over time. And it's even worse now that they can be exposed on cell phones. Cell phones and cell phone video. Remember, in the past,

it could have been hidden. It can't be hidden now. There are middle-class America, suburbia, is never going to be comfortable with people attacking people for wearing a hat and beating the snot out of them. They're're not if you think this is a sustainable political movement

you're out of your mind okay um a couple more things here new york gosh my just born in new york and i love the people in new york but what is going on in new york my gosh the place is out of control joe story in the daily news new york daily news far left rag but worth putting in why they reported on this i'm astonished they usually you know try to do better uh air cover for democrats it'll be in the show notes today um andrew cuomo the governor is pardoned he has these conditional pardons so people can vote again which he's been issuing joe some of them are brutal sex offenders and sexual predators this is not a joke this is read the just there's not there's nothing more to add other than how again the the the effort to quote own the cons, own the conservatives,

has led the left to move so far away from reason in the middle of the political aisle into not just radicalism, but radical radicalism, that this is the kind of stuff now they're actually on the record doing, conditional pardons for sexual predators. Read the piece. It's in the Daily News. It's a far left rag. Another piece about New York. Again, because I love New York. I grew up there and it's just sad to see what's happened there. Even relatively conservative places formerly in New York

like Queens and Staten Island are even seeing Democrats take over. There's an article in Barron's that was sent to me by a listener thank you i read a lot of the stuff you send my way do me a favor though if you send me an article um describe what it is just a sentence or so because sometimes people send me links read this and what does that mean i mean read it just give me a sentence on what why it's interesting i'm more apt to pick it up for the show. Not to be picky, but I get probably 500 emails a day. I try to get to a lot. A little context.

Yeah, a little context. Thanks, Joe. Thank you, Joe. A good article from Barron's being the show host again today. How New York now, ladies and gentlemen, if you're going to go, you better go quick because this is only going to get worse. Joe, how New York residents who are looking to leave because of the high tax, unfriendly business-like atmosphere in New York, some of them are staying put because now they're finding out

from their accounts and their lawyers that new york is sending like investigative teams out there to make sure if you upend your residence your your claimed rest in other words you may not sell your condo in new york your apartment but you now say claim your residence in florida that they're sending investigators to talk to doormen they're subpoenaing your credit card receipts to see how much time you spend in new york based on where you spend your money right folks i'm warning you if you're gonna get out get out now this is only gonna get worse next thing you know there's gonna be video surveillance like joe armacost spent spent a 200 days in maryland he is not a florida resident

this is that this is what's next folks this is what's next they cannot keep people in their states there is a mass exodus out of liberal states into places like florida and texas if you're gonna go go soon because this is gonna get worse sending investigative teams to check your resident is this unbelievable you want out of this state residency wise so bad you're forced to stay because you're afraid the tax investigator is gonna come and hunt you down i gotta go shoes where are my shoes are they in new york someone sent me some sol stuff for the jerky boys so i think they grew up in middle village those guys good characters but this is insane your policies are so bad people are fleeing in such mass that in order to hold on to them at least officially through the residency

in order to stick in order to keep them in your state you have to send out investigative teams to basically threaten them oh Oh, my gosh. This is crazy stuff, folks. Really. It doesn't get any worse than that. All right. Hey, thank you for the last two days of downloads, listenerships, and subscriptions to the show. It was our best two days ever.
