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 uh how are you today my friend i'm all set dano all set joe had a great idea you know because before we have folks if i can only tell you that as the studio and the operation has grown more and more complicated, and the show has gained a larger following, we've had to add equipment upon equipment upon equipment. We've had daisy chain stuff. So there's always a technical issue. So before we get on the air with you guys and ladies, Joe and I are, you know,
Starting point is 00:00:39 It's a little spicy. One of these days, because we we got to keep it family friendly. One of these days I said, you need to produce a monster mashup, 15 minute cuts of outtakes before the show. And so here's what it would be. We'll play it on a Saturday. But hey, Joe. It would sound like the show is backing up. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Right, right. Like the UPS. That's the whole show. But it would be funny. Maybe we'll do that. We'll have so much fun. Maybe Miles from Brickhouse will want to sponsor that one. A 15-minute mashup.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Oh, man. Last night, everything's going. I had the longest day ever yesterday, right? Longest day I've had in forever. Wake up for Fox and Friends, right? I'm not a snowflake either. I love it. I love what I do. I'm just telling you because the story of how it ends is kind of funny.
Starting point is 00:01:30 So I get up, of course, do Fox and Friends 630, right to show prep, takes me about two and a half hours, right to the podcast, done with the podcast. I have to go get a haircut because I look like I had the Jim Morrison hair going or something like that. I have to run right to the gym, get a quick workout, come right back.
Starting point is 00:01:48 There's a person in my house doing work. Have to come right back, start preparing for NRA TV. Knock that out. The NRA TV show. Then right after the NRA TV show, went right with a two-minute break. The show ends at 5.58.30. So it's actually a minute and a half. I jump right into Levin, three hours on radio.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Bang. Right into a Laura Ing three hours on radio. Bang. Right into a Laura Ingraham show after that. Finally go to sleep. Five o'clock in the morning. The battery power starts going off in the office. The thing's not on mute. I'm like, oh my gosh, this is the worst. The hardest working man in rock and roll right here.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Yeah, it was crazy. So, yeah, it was funny. All right, I got a big show for you today. A couple things I want to cover. The double standards are now ridiculous in the way Trump and Democrats are treated. I want to hit three things. Dianne Feinstein,
Starting point is 00:02:34 Dianne Feinstein, Democrat Senator on the Intel Committee. Not like she'd have any sensitive information, right, Joe? She's only on the Senate Intelligence Committee. Bah. So we find out she had a Chinese spy working for her for a few years. Oh, how'd the FBI handle that one?
Starting point is 00:02:48 It's going to create an interesting double standard. I have some fascinating, just terrific audio of Adam Schiff attempting to collude with the Russians. And I just want to talk about another double standard. I want to get to the jobs report because there's an outstanding article in the show notes by Lewis Woodhill,
Starting point is 00:03:04 who does great work, which absolutely annihilates and obliterates any Obama-Trump comparison in the economy. Your friends will have nowhere to go. So don't go anywhere. We've got a great show.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Hey, today's show brought to you by my buddies at My Patriot Supply. Can you imagine going months with only the food in your pantry right now? What we'll call a food closet because I hate that word. No, you can't.
Starting point is 00:03:24 My family, we'd probably starve in a week or two if it was just the food closet. But we don't have to worry because I have a bunch of my Patriot Supply food. Well, unfortunately, this reality is brutal. This is top of the mind right now for people in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, the tragedy there, where some of them afterwards were out of power. Some of them were running out of food. Folks, this is why we need a plan to take care of our families if a crisis strikes where we live my friends at my patriot supply understand this need they're busy this month helping patriots prepare and they feel the need and the need to prepare has never been greater we have storm season uh here in florida i have my

Starting point is 00:04:52 Ensure everything in your life as it matters, food being one of them, go do that. Okay. So first, Adam Schiff, our buddy Schifte. Schifte! We love Schifte. Schifte Schiff, our buddy Schifte. Schifte! We love Schifte. Schifte Schiff. Schifte Schiff is guilty of really what most Democrats, when you pay attention to their tactical political strategy, do.
Starting point is 00:05:15 They accuse you of what they're guilty of themselves. It's all coming together now why Adam Schiff may be the most vocal voice on the Democrat side of the aisle for promoting the Russia hoax and the conspiracy theory. When I say the Russia hoax, I mean the collusion between the Trump team and Russia hoax. Well, we already know this is actually older news, but I'm starting to think that there may be a more intimate relationship between the Russians and the Democrats than we've been led to believe in the past. Now, I want to play some audio here, and I want to hat tip Sean Hannity for bringing the story back into the spotlight again,
Starting point is 00:05:55 because it kind of lost its luster a little bit. This is actual audio from a bit ago. This is not a joke. Well, it is a joke on shift but that adam shift it's very real this is actual audio of adam shift who thinks he's talking to a russian connected to putin he's being pranked by the way he doesn't know it about obtaining information negative information on donald trump so just to be clear why this matters we have this clown adam shift adam shift this democrat congressman from this lead conspiracy theorist russian hoaxster democrat congressman from california who continues to claim that trump colluded with the russians with no evidence whatsoever but more importantly, continues to assert, Joe, that interactions with Russians to obtain negative materials on your political opponent is evidence of some kind of a crime. This is his premise, right, Joe?
Starting point is 00:06:54 Talking with the Russians, trying to obtain negative campaign materials is a crime. Play the audio of Adam Schiff doing the exact thing he's accusing the Trump team of. In November 2015, Mr. Trump visited Moscow. He visited competition Miss Universe. And there he met with Russian journalist and celebrity Ksenia Sobchak. I'm sorry, can you explain that again? While he was in Moscow in November 2013, he met with a journalist and... Well, she's poor journalist.
Starting point is 00:07:23 But anyway, she became famous because of Putin is her godfather okay Putin's godfather okay she also known as a person who provided girls for escort for oligarchs and she met with Trump and she brought him one our Russian girl celebrity Olga Buzova, who is also known as a person with a strange reputation. Olga, and how do you spell her name? Olga Buzova. Buzova. So, Olga Buzova is a friend of the reporter Sovchak?
Starting point is 00:08:00 Yes, she's a friend of the reporter, and I think the special agent of Russian Secret Service, Ksenia Sochuk. Olga Buzova. That's real. Now, one half of it is real. The Schiff half. Adam Schiff thinks he's talking to Russians connected to Putin and special agents in the Russian Secret Service, whatever it may be, about compromising information. That tape goes on for seven minutes.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Obviously, I just wanted to play a snippet of it. But again, hat tip to be, about compromising information. That tape goes on for seven minutes. Obviously, I just wanted to play a snippet of it. But again, hat tip to Hannity for bringing this back. Because I think we may have played this before when it broke, but I had forgotten about this. Now, the only reason I bring it up is because with the pending unredaction of a significant portion of the FISA application, which I'm hearing from a number of folks may happen this week or early next week. I think we may be read in more to the Democrats involvement in this collusion conspiracy from the start, the conspiracy to work with Fusion GPS to gin up information on Trump. But this is the guy. This is shifty, shifty Schiff, who goes on
Starting point is 00:09:01 television every day telling people that colluding with the Russians to get information about your political opponents, that that is in fact potentially a crime. And there is a tape of Adam Schiff talking about Olga Buzova. Who's Olga Buzova? Olga Buzova? I mean, Olga Buzova. Adam Schiff, he's an attorney, by the way. This guy is really not that bright an attorney, by the way. This guy is really not that bright.
Starting point is 00:09:30 How he passed the bar, I am really, I'm unsure of this. So again, the double standard by the media, who should be reporting about this tape, where he's actively seeking information, compromising information from a guy he believes is connected to Russian secret services and Vladimir Putin himself or has information from people connected to him. But nobody talks about that. They're concerned about a Trump Tower meeting where no information of significance changes hands whatsoever. Do you see the double standard here?
Starting point is 00:09:59 No. This is why, Joe, the new rules again are in effect, as I said on Levin's last night, and I'll say over and over again, we don't care anymore. You've burned it. Sorry. You burned us all. We're only interested in what Trump does with the pro-life agenda, with the economy. We don't care about this. We're not interested anymore. You want to produce evidence of a crime? Fine. We'll hear you out. Until that point, nobody cares. Goodbye. I hear Russia's story. I cover it on this show only to humiliate the liberals. That is Adam Schiff actively colluding by his own definition with the Russians. And Adam, you can't hide those lying eyes.
Starting point is 00:10:32 And they are some set of eyes does he got. Oh, boy. Wow. All right. So on the double standard topic, point number two. Isn't it interesting that now I didn't cover the story yesterday because I was stacked up with information. Senator Dianne Feinstein on the Senate Intel Committee,
Starting point is 00:10:52 a senior member of one of the most powerful committees on the U.S. Senate side that handles high-level classified intelligence. We now find out that a Chinese spy was driving her around. Wow. How about that? Isn't that interesting? Now,
Starting point is 00:11:11 what's interesting is not just that a Senate Democrat has never had a Chinese spy. How it relates to the double standard MO we've been going with since we started the show
Starting point is 00:11:22 is, again, first the double standard is Schiff. Schiff colludes with what he believes to be a spy. And Dianne Feinstein's all proud. She's like, well, we took action right away. Joe, why didn't that happen to the Trump team? in other words if they thought carter page and george papadopoulos were active spies worthy of a fisa warrant to spy on them why not just go to the trump team and say hey listen i think we have
Starting point is 00:12:14 a spy in their midst here's carter page is george papadopoulos we got to take care of this the the answer is obvious because number one they i think they pretty much understood carter page was not a spy they were basing it on faulty information but number two their goal was not to notify the trump team their goal was to entrap the trump team boom folks this is a big story this is huge this diane feinstein story is a very big deal. She employed a person in her office with access, Dianne Feinstein that is, with access to the highest level of intelligence. They're saying the driver didn't have access to that intelligence. But folks, come on. Joe, you've been in the backseat of cars, right? You've had drivers sent. When I used to do Fox and CNN and
Starting point is 00:13:03 I didn't have my home studio, once in a while a driver comes to your house, they pick you up. It's a nice little perk they give you so you don't have to worry. You can do your show prep in the car, right? Joe, you probably had some conversations in cabs and stuff, right? Of course, man. You're surprised at what comes out of your mouth talking to that cab driver. I can think of one specific way. It wasn't classified, but there's one time I remember I was coming out of a restaurant
Starting point is 00:13:25 and I was thinking, gosh, I shouldn't have said that in a car. Now, the guy was just, I don't even think he was paying attention. It sounded like he was listening to whatever. He had NPR on in the background. The point is, we've all had those conversations. This guy was employed there for years. While Dianne Feinstein's probably having conversations in the back of the car, we have no idea the damage this guy could have done.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Now, I want to be clear. I'm not suggesting Dianne Feinstein knew the guy was a spy. I'm simply suggesting to you that the way her case was handled, the appropriate way, you go to the office as an FBI agent, you say, listen, we got a problem. We got a serious problem. This guy you hired may in fact be a spy for an enemy power, or at least a hostile power. The guy's terminated.
Starting point is 00:14:19 He's kicked out. Whatever clearance he has, or whatever access, I should say, which is a better term, is revoked. That's it. He's gone. Ladies and gentlemen, why didn't that happen with the Trump team? Again, it's clear as day because the goal wasn't to stop anything. It was to entrap the guy. What other explanation is there?
Starting point is 00:14:41 Oh, we thought Carter Page was a spy. Did you notify the Trump team you thought Carter Page was a spy? No, we no we didn't well why'd you do it for diane feinstein well because the guy may have been a spy i believe there's two reasons again the bureau didn't think carter page was a spy and didn't want to embarrass themselves and secondly they had already said and sworn in front of a court that carter page was a spy and they needed that information by the by the two hop rule to hop from pages emails to someone else into the trump team they can hop twice into the trump team and get their data yeah they needed it so on one hand they're skeptical of the information and they know it because if they really believed it they
Starting point is 00:15:21 probably would have told the trump team but on the hand, they need to be unskeptical of the information to go swear in front of a judge that the information's real so they can entrap and spy on the Trump team. Ladies and gentlemen, ridiculous, abhorrent, disgusting double standards. But again, don't expect the liberal media to care about any of this. Point number three. This is a simple one I brought up, so i'm not going to spend a lot of time on it but again we're talking about the double standards here and it's critical you understand this to be able to debate this with your liberal friends if they are going to suggest to you that meetings with russians for opposition research are in fact crimes which ladies and
Starting point is 00:15:59 gentlemen they're not conspiracy is a crime collusion is not and i'm not alleging anybody colluded i'm simply suggesting to you if your liberal friends are going to argue that trump's meeting trump jr at trump tower is something nefarious then they have to acknowledge immediately that shift's conversation with what he thought were russians was was worse because they're actually transmitting negative information. It's fake, but it is negative information. There are no allegations that that happened at the Trump Jr. meeting. Secondly, if they're going to allege, oh, everything was handled by the numbers with the FBI, because I've heard that charge too, even by some Republicans.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Oh, the FBI did everything by the numbers. Really? FBI because I've heard that charge too even by some Republicans oh the FBI did everything by the numbers really so how come when Dianne Feinstein had this spy they notified her and he was removed immediately but nobody notified the Trump team is that by the numbers that's by the book what does the book say does the book say notify them the answer is the book does when you look at the dialogue with the FBI and the DOJ guidelines by by the way, which Denise McAllister and I did an un... I shouldn't self-praise things. Let me throw it on Denise. Denise, my co-author in the book, did a great job in Spygate, my new book, breaking down the FBI guidelines specifically for doing what they did to Carter Page.
Starting point is 00:17:20 And you'll see repeatedly how they violated their own rules. Repeatedly. The goal in counterintelligence investigations is to stop the infiltration, not to entrap your political opponent like they did with Trump. Now, third, again, the third double standard here is Hillary Clinton. If you're going to suggest, as by the way, a CNN legal analyst did yesterday on the air, to suggest as by the way a cnn legal analyst did yesterday on the air amber athi is a really cool piece up at the daily caller about this if you're going to suggest that meeting with a russian to get opposition research is a net negative and potentially a crime but in the trump case again we have no information exchanging hands how is is Hillary Clinton paying people, paying people to contact Kremlin connected sources, eventually money exchanging hands to get that information? How is that not criminal, too?
Starting point is 00:18:18 You understand this makes no sense. They have no case. It's not a double. It's a complete lack of standards at all because they're just lying. So let me get this straight libs meeting with russians is a crime to get information okay well is adam schiff guilty too no no he's not guilty but that's what he did no no it was a prank it was oh wait a minute it was a but on the trump junior meeting there was no information at all forget about a prank it wasn't even a prank. Nobody showed up with any information. Compromat. Schiff actually thinks he's getting information on the phone. Hillary Clinton. Oh,
Starting point is 00:18:53 meeting with Russians is definitely collusion, collusion worthy of an investigation. Hillary Clinton paid the Russians. They paid Kremlin connected sources for information on Donald Trump. paid Kremlin connected sources for information on Donald Trump. The double standard is sickening. It's frankly pretty disgusting. And I'm so tired of media people just ignoring this.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Alright. One more thing on this. I have a couple really, really good articles in the show notes. One by Byron York. I encourage you to read. Go to Bongino.com. Please subscribe to the email list. We'll send them right to you. Just to show you how much fake news is out there. So Trump over the weekend acknowledges in a tweet that the purpose of the meeting at Trump Tower was to get opposition research.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Again, if that's a crime, Adam Schiff and Hillary Clinton are guilty too. If it's not a crime, then both Don Trump Jr., Hillary Clinton, and Adam Schiff are all guilty of what, Joe? A bad decision. Right. You shouldn't be meeting with Russians for opposition research. But either way, they should all be held to the same standard. But what's interesting is Trump tweets out over the weekend how the purpose of the meeting was to get opposition research. And that's politics.
Starting point is 00:20:00 That's how it works. Folks, the media is reporting on this as if it's news. Really? Let me go to the Byron York piece, who has a screenshot, Joe, of Donald Trump's tweet from July 17, 2017. For liberals, that's 2017. Joe, we are in 2018, correct? Yes, we are. Okay, thank you.
Starting point is 00:20:19 So this is over a year ago. Here's a Donald Trump tweet. Because they're suggesting now that Donald Trump finally admitting the purpose of the Trump Tower meeting was opposition research. Finally? Can you guys read? Are you capable of that? You know the ABCs? Have you done that? Did you sing the song? Tweet from Donald Trump. July 17, 2017. Most politicians would have gone to a meeting like the one Don Jr. attended in order to get info on an opponent on an opponent that's politics again for the umpteenth time for dopey liberals in the media who said breaking news donald trump admits oppo research was the purpose
Starting point is 00:20:54 july 17 2017 folks do you understand they're just making it up like we're all dumber for having to have this conversation having to have this conversation you understand that right yeah but we're all dumber because the media is dumb themselves and we have to sadly go down to their level to explain to them basic simple things because they absolutely refuse to tell the truth because most of them are simply fake news oh you don't like fake news as i said last night on laura ingram show you want the cnn sucks chance to stop just stop sucking if you stop sucking maybe people stop saying cnn sucks yeah but you guys cannot report even basic facts donald trump finally admits finally admits he tweeted that out july 17th of 2017 he didn't finally admit something. So your two points, that meeting with a Russian for opposition research
Starting point is 00:21:48 is somehow worthy of a special investigation, we can debunk that immediately because you're not demanding a special investigation. For Hillary, you actually paid Russian-connected sources, Kremlin-connected sources, even worse. They're not necessarily the same thing. And Adam Schiff, who's actually on tape trying to collude with Russians.
Starting point is 00:22:05 They're not demanding a special investigation for that. And secondly, point number two, oh my gosh, this is breaking news. Trump finally admits it. No, no, he admitted it a year ago. You're just too dumb to read the news. Unreal. Unbelievable. We got to come on the air every morning and debunk this nonsense for your liberal friends
Starting point is 00:22:24 because they're really too silly to even read their own stuff and do some basic fact checking. All right. One more note on this. I have another good article from The Federalist about the BuzzFeed lawsuit, which is heating up, folks. This BuzzFeed lawsuit. Let me just give you a little background on this, because this is a really fascinating story. Joe, BuzzFeed, which was one of the first outlets to publish the dossier. That's right. Remember that? BuzzFeed publishes the dossier, even though the dossier is unverified and they couldn't verify it.
Starting point is 00:23:00 And BuzzFeed's take on it was kind of like, hey, we're going to put this out there and let's see what happens right one of the names a guy by the name of uh gubarev g-u-b-a-r-e-f forgive me from saying that wrong who is mentioned in the dossier is that one of the allegations in the dossier joe is that his tech company was like plotting to hack the DNC. Of course, the charge in the dossier was nonsense because the dossier is nonsense. It's garbage. The dossier is a steaming pile of horse manure. So Gubarev, of course, sues. Sues BuzzFeed and says, hey, you guys can't push that out there.
Starting point is 00:23:38 It's unverified garbage. You can't put that out there. Is BuzzFeed lawsuits heating up? Why, folks? This is a fascinating story. BuzzFeed is obviously a left-leaning entity. But BuzzFeed's in a pickle right now. Because BuzzFeed's claim is, hey, man, this was legitimate news at the time.
Starting point is 00:23:59 And watch, we're going to go prove it. Legitimate news being that the RCA is reporting on this. So what's BuzzFeed? A left-leaning outlet. What's the corner they find themselves in? If they admit the dossier was fake news, right, they're going to get sued. They're going to lose the lawsuit because they're going to have published fake news. And they're going to have to, by the way, acquiesce to the fact that the whole investigation into Donald Trump was a scam
Starting point is 00:24:28 because it's based on the dossier. Follow me where I'm going with this. They're in a real corner here. So BuzzFeed, to get out of that corner, to avoid losing tons of money for publishing fake news and for acknowledging that the Democrats' entire story about the dossier and Donald Trump and being compromised by the Russians, it all comes from the dossier.
Starting point is 00:24:46 They'd have to acknowledge the entire story's bunk. So they're now fighting their way out of this corner, Joe, trying to authenticate the BuzzFeed dossier. You see where I'm going with this, right? So now, in order, it's not the dossier, but BuzzFeed is trying to authenticate say hey no we were reporting on a real story in order to say that what do they have to do they have to get testimony and subpoena people like brennan and clapper and obama administration officials and
Starting point is 00:25:19 what are they all doing joe they're like hell no i ain't going on the record to talk about that thing remember that remember we brought this story up a few months ago where BuzzFeed had said BuzzFeed had said to the DNC they tried to subpoena the DNC server because remember the dossier makes allegations of collusion in other words the DNC server was hacked the Russians had the information they colluded with Trump to get the emails out there so BuzzFeed said hey we didn't print words, the DNC server was hacked. The Russians had the information. They colluded with Trump to get the emails out there. So BuzzFeed said, hey, we didn't print fake news. The DNC server was really hacked. By the way, DNC, can you please turn over the server? What did the DNC say? No, thanks. What are you worried about? What are you worried about? DNC, why not just turn it over to BuzzFeed and the FBI?
Starting point is 00:26:06 Why are you worried? If the DNC server was hacked by the Russians as you say it was, why not just turn it over and rescue your left-leaning friends at BuzzFeed? They told BuzzFeed, no thanks, pound sand, have a nice day, ding, ding, ding. Now it turns out, so that's point number one, right? BuzzFeed needed to be rescued. All they needed was the proof in the server that the thing was hacked by the Russians
Starting point is 00:26:29 to get out of this disastrous lawsuit. It's a left-leaning website, and the DNC said, no, no thank you. We're not going to turn over that server. Of course not. Why would you do that? But here's where it gets more interesting.
Starting point is 00:26:42 They subpoenaed, again, Brennan and these other people, and they had questions for them. Of course, none of them wanted to testify on anything. None of them wanted to answer questions. The Obama administration didn't want to answer questions. So they simplified it in front of the judge, BuzzFeed. They said, okay, can you, judge, ask the Obama administration these three very simple questions. The three very simple questions are, hold on, let me get this.
Starting point is 00:27:11 I should have had it up, but I had so much stuff going on this morning. Forgive me. Hold on a second, folks. You can leave this in, Joe. I'm sorry. I don't want to cause you a bunch of issues. Here they are. This is a great piece of the Federalist, by the way, in the show notes.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Question number one. This is a great piece of the Federalist, by the way, in the show notes. Question number one. Did the FBI possess the two-page memorandum contained within the dossier on January 10, 2017, or prior to January 10, 2017, which was the date BuzzFeed published the article? In other words, if this dossier is such fake news, did the FBI have it? Remember, BuzzFeed's trying to save itself right now. Bureau's like, we don't want to answer that question question two prior to January 10th which is when BuzzFeed published the article did the FBI or any other of the defending agencies possess all 35 pages of the dossier in other words hey if we publish fake news why did you guys have the dossier
Starting point is 00:28:02 the FBI and all these other agencies like, we don't want to answer that either. Why? Because they don't want anyone to know they based their whole case off this crap dossier and it was all over the place. Here's where it gets really, really interesting. Joe, listen to this doozy. Did the FBI receive from Senator John McCain a copy of the first 33 pages of the dossier
Starting point is 00:28:28 on or about December 9th, 2016? In other words, if it's fake news, how did a U.S. Senator on the Republican side have it? How about that? How about that? Ha ha, yeah. BuzzFeed having to do the work of conservatives right now to save their own butts.
Starting point is 00:28:45 By the way, this is all in the book. I just kind of dropped a major hint about something you may not have heard yet, about the Republican involvement in this. That's pretty darn disgusting. Here's another one. BuzzFeed question. Did Mr. Clapper, Mr. Rogers, Mr. Brennan, and or Mr. Comey. Oh, this is good.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Before January 10th when BuzzFeed published the piece. Brief President Barack Obama about allegations in the dossier. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, yeah. Me and Joe ping pong in the o's oh now keep in mind the government doesn't want to answer any of those questions but the judge in the case read the piece in the federalist it's in the show
Starting point is 00:29:37 notes very good very well done very short the judge in the case said nah you're gonna have to answer those questions oh boy somebody under oath now is going to have to answer the question if Barack Obama was briefed on the dossier before they published it. BuzzFeed, thank you. Thank you. But now listen, BuzzFeed is a left-leaning outlet that is not trying to help conservatives. Let's not make any mistake here. But BuzzFeed does not want to be put out of business like Gawker in a massive lawsuit filed by someone mentioned in this crap fake dossier.
Starting point is 00:30:10 So BuzzFeed's like, hey, man, we ain't going down with this ship, daddy-o. Someone better answer these questions. If this thing was fake news, why did the FBI have it? Why did McCain have it? And why was Obama briefed on it? You see where I'm going with this, right, Joe? Thanks, Chewy. You are absolutely... Yes. Chewy knows. Chewy knows. You see where I'm going with this. The BuzzFeed is in the unfortunate predicament right now of either bankruptcy or proving that the Democrats lied about the dossier because the dossier is fake. So BuzzFeed's asking these questions. They know it's fake, but their only salvation here.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Follow me where I'm going is where, all right, it was fake, but we reported on it because McCain had it. Obama was briefed on it and the FBI and the other agencies had it. Therefore, even if it was fake, it was legitimate.
Starting point is 00:31:03 And they would be right. By the way, I think it was legitimate news. Us reporting it joe are you tracking oh because this is a huge story this buzzfeed lawsuit is going to be catastrophic for the dems because their own left-leaning media outlet is going to wind up having to take them down because they're going to have to throw them under the bus and go, yeah, okay, we all acknowledge it's fake at this point. But even though it was fake, we reported on it because look, McCain had it, the Bureau had it, the intel agencies had it, and Obama was briefed on it. And I think BuzzFeed will get a pass. The problem then is, what's the follow-up question? Why the heck didn't anybody
Starting point is 00:31:39 verify this before Obama was briefed on it and everyone everyone else and they used it to spy on the trump team folks do you see how catastrophic this case is this buzzfeed case this is an absolute apocalyptic event for the democrats now the judge remember the judge is telling them they have to answer the questions i'm going to be on. I'm going to pay very close attention to those answers because I'm telling you right now the mainstream media will ignore it. Thank you, BuzzFeed. BuzzFeed, left-leaning outlet, taking down the whole collusion

He's got a piece in, what is it, Real Clear Markets or whatever it may be,
Starting point is 00:34:32 but it's up at the show notes. It's short, it's sweet, and it just absolutely annihilates the argument that the Obama economy and the Trump economy at this point are comparable. They're not. Trump is absolutely slaying them. I'm going to lay out some numbers. Because here's. First let me lay out the new talking point the left has. Because the left now Joe. They're in a really precarious situation. The left understands that a large swath of independent voters.
Starting point is 00:35:02 And even moderate Democrats will vote based on their jobs. Their job prospects, their kids' job prospects, and the economy. They know they're not stupid. They also understand the economy right now by any rational person's – I said rational, so we're not talking about the media. We're talking about people who are actually interested in facts. By any rational measure, the economy is motoring right now. It is. It's not perfect. There's still areas for improvement, but the economy is absolutely motoring.
Starting point is 00:35:28 We just had a 4.1% GDP number. So the new Democrat talking point, because ladies and gentlemen, they will always, always, always find an angle to try to win an argument, even when the angle they take is ridiculous. Their only purpose is to delay the inevitable. It's to delay. It's to think of a new talking point till they run out of talking points and then hope people forget about the economy. Now, the best way for regular listeners, you've heard this before, if you've been here from the beginning, the best way to find out what the new Democrat talking point is,
Starting point is 00:35:57 is to do what I do. It's just to watch the weekend shows. I prefer Fox, of course, do a lot of work over there but watch the weekend shows on fox they'll typically have a liberal come on a debate the primetime shows too i mean yeah typically hannity will bring austin goulds beyond or others watch what they say the democrats think like the borg you know from star trek they have this hive mind mentality they get their talking points from focus groups and other people who democrats have paid to figure out what's going to work. The new talking point is this. You're going to hear it. If you haven't heard it already, when you hear it, you're going to laugh. You're going to laugh. You're going to say,
Starting point is 00:36:31 I heard it on the Bongino show first. I do this all the time for you. The new talking point is this. Well, job growth in the last 18 months of Obama was better than the first 18 months of Trump. You've heard this one, Joe, which is a fascinating talking point because usually compare the first 18 months of Trump. You've heard this one, Joe? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is a fascinating talking point because you usually compare the first two years of an administration to the first two years of the other administration, not the last two to the first two. But folks, they don't have anything else. So that's all they have.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Now, I'm going to debunk that for you in a minute. So just to be clear, this is their new talking point because they've run out of everything else. They can't talk about growth because growth is higher. They can't talk about the stock market because the stock market's higher. They can't talk about real GDP because that's higher. They don't know what to do. So the last 18 months of
Starting point is 00:37:13 job growth. Let me go down. I'll get to that in a second, but let me go down the numbers in this fantastic piece. I even took a screenshot of it so I would read it exactly as it is. This is Lewis Woodhill. He says, okay, let's compare the job numbers for Trump's first 19 months in office screenshot of it so i would read it uh exactly as it is this is lewis woodhill he says okay let's compare the job numbers for trump's first first 19 months in office with those of obama's last 19 months in the white house just to debunk that nonsense the employment ratio which is the ratio of people who are able to work to the you know the people working compared to the people who can work. The employment ratio is 0.7 plus 0.73 percentage points more. It's more than, I'm sorry, I read that wrong. Let me say that again.
Starting point is 00:37:54 The employment ratio under Trump is 0.73 percentage points. More than twice Obama's 0.35. So Joe, we haven't had Jay's abacus in a while, right? So just so I'm checking here. There we go. There's Jay's abacus making an appearance here. For those of you who are new listeners, we have an abacus that was donated by Jay a while ago. Let's do
Starting point is 00:38:14 this for the Democrats. Joe, what is a greater number, a bigger number here? Yeah. 35 or 73? Yeah, move it around. 35 or 73. Move it around. 35 or 73. What's the bigger number? 73.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Jay's abacus makes his return. Joe figures it out on the abacus. We haven't used that in a while. The Trump employment ratio, in other words, people working, is 0.73 percentage points, more than twice Obama's 0.35. Jay's abacus to the rescue. Second, oh, there's more. Just like in it from, wait, there's more.
Starting point is 00:38:54 The labor force participation rate is plus 0.22 percentage points versus Obama's negative 0.16. Ooh. So positive 22 to negative 16 versus Obama. Trump, positive 22. Yeah. Joe, I know the negative is going to screw with you a little bit, so try to figure this out. That's why we have the abacus.
Starting point is 00:39:20 What is a greater number? Negative 0.16 or positive 0.22. What's the greater number? Negative 0.16 or positive 0.22? What's the bigger number? Well, positive 0.22, is that what it would be? Yes, Joe! Jay Zavik is the bing pow boo to the rescue again. So Trump beats him on the employment ratio, handily. Beats him on labor force participation, handily.
Starting point is 00:39:43 Let's go to another one. Full-time equivalent jobs. Because yes, Obama's job number during the last 18 months was bigger than Trump's number in the first 18 months, which by the way is an absurd apples to oranges comparison,
Starting point is 00:40:00 but let's just put, let's go to full-time equivalent jobs. In other words, full-time, not part-time jobs, not crap jobs which the obama team was responsible for oh i'll get to that in a second full-time equivalent jobs joe you have the abacus ready oh yeah yeah uh-huh donald trump's number first uh 19 months in the trump white house last and versus don versus obama's last 19 months in his white house all right donald trump 4.1 million full-time equivalent jobs. Barack Obama, 3.3 million.
Starting point is 00:40:29 Joe, on Jay Zabacus, what is a bigger number? 4.1 million or 3.3 million? Joe is working that abacus hard right now. 4.1. 4.1. Crazy how that happens. Crazy. Never lies.1 4.1 crazy how that happens crazy never lies always right jay's abacus again comes to the rescue so donald trump nearly a million more full-time equivalent jobs yeah using the democrats own ridiculous comparison one One more, Joe. Average weekly wages.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Oh, right. Yeah. Donald Trump. What's the bigger number here, Joe? Okay. $40 average, plus $40. In other words, weekly wages are growing $40 under Donald Trump. I'm actually playing it now because it's 40.55, but for the sake of easy math on the abacus,
Starting point is 00:41:20 what's a bigger number? Trump's $40 growth in average weekly wages or Barack number trump's 40 growth in average weekly wages or barack obama's 31 growth in average weekly wages joe 40 or 31 i know i know this is hard to work the abacus work your magic what do you got 40 or 31 what's bigger 40 this is crazy jay's abacus to the rescue again to the rescue again for you new listeners who have not heard the glory of Jay Zabacus. We have people out there who tweet, who is Jay Zabacus? It's Jay's Abacus. I know you guys, the older ones get that.
Starting point is 00:41:57 But we still get emails. Who's Jay Zabacus? We got to put that on a shirt. Guys, the Trump economy smokes the Obama economy. Now, for a full and thorough debunking, because I said I would, of the Democrats' silly talk about, well, when you look at jobs in general, the last 18 months of Obama, they performed better than the first 18 months of Trump. Now, keep in mind, if you're factoring in low-paying jobs that are not really careers for people,
Starting point is 00:42:27 but are just temporary backstops, yes, Obama is the king of crappy jobs that people don't want to hold for a while and just use to backstop because they couldn't, you know, it's a poor economy. You think I'm making that up? Because when it comes to full time equivalent jobs
Starting point is 00:42:45 quality high paying jobs Trump smokes them almost a million more 4.1 million versus 3.3 million under Obama let me read this little doozy here where is it oh here we go you know Donna Brazil
Starting point is 00:43:02 she used to be the head of the DNC yeah on February 13th you know, Donna Brazil, she used to be the head of the DNC. Yeah. Yeah. On February 13th, she sent an email of 2016 that appeared on WikiLeaks. Donna Brazil. This is the head of the DNC. Folks,
Starting point is 00:43:14 I'm not saying this wrong. The DNC, Donna Brazil. She's not the head of the RNC. It's not a Republican activist. This is the head of the Democrat national committee. Sends an email that WikiLeaks, no one's disputing the authenticity of the email, by the way.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Let me read to you the email, Joe, showing you how Obama's economy was so crappy, most of the jobs they created were jobs nobody wanted but had to take because the economy was so bad. This is Donna Brazile herself putting the final nail in the coffin of this dumb argument that Obama's final 18 months were some massive haven for quality job creation. Quoting Donna Brazile wrote, I think people are more in despair about how things are. Yes, new jobs, but they are low wage jobs.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Housing is a huge issue. Most people are paying half of what they do to make the rent. This is Donna Brazile talking about how these are low wage jobs. Housing's a huge issue. Most people are paying half of what they do to make the rent. This is Donna Brazile talking about how these are low wage jobs. In other words, people barely getting by in the Obama economy. That's the Democrat acknowledging on their own internal emails that the Obama economy created a bunch of low wage jobs that were not, these were not prosperous, career-enhancing jobs. These were jobs people had to take to stay alive in a horrible economy.
Starting point is 00:44:30 That's her own words. So when your friends tell you, oh, well, you know, the last 18 months of Obama, number of jobs created was better. Yeah, but not full-time equivalent jobs. High-quality jobs. Trump smokes Obama. $4 four million to 3.3 million
Starting point is 00:44:48 and by the way tell your liberal friends if those jobs were so great why did the head of the dnc email uh other democrats that the jobs were low weight that they were crap jobs What is she lying? You got nothing. By the way, some more numbers from this piece. It's really good. Please read it. The Lewis Woodhill piece, by the way. Real GDP. Real GDP. In other words, growth, a gross domestic product, our measure of productivity, what we produce. Real GDP growth. When you factor in inflation in other words get out the effect the monetary effect joe just measure actual hard material growth right okay real gdp obama's average 1.57 trump's first six quarters in office 2.69 oh he do you understand obama there's no argument anymore no no i'm talking about rational argument
Starting point is 00:45:46 that the obama economy was the only rational argument is how much worse it was you get that joe that's the which is a fair argument was it really horrible or was it just horrible by the way you okay so i got more wait there I'm sorry. I got to scroll through some stuff. You may say, but the stock market. Okay, let's compare that. Remember, the Democrats want to compare the last 18 months to the first 18 months. I think it's a dumb comparison. The appropriate comparison is Obama's first 18 months in office with Trump's first 18 months in office where the policies change.
Starting point is 00:46:26 But because Democrats can't do that and be reasonable, okay, let's play their game. I just broke that argument down for you too. But they said, but the stock market, the stock market. Okay. Quoting the U.S. Lewis Woodhill piece, using month-end numbers, the Dow Jones industrial average has gained 6,272 points under Trump versus 977 during the prior 21 months under Obama. Yeah. 6,272 versus 977.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Joe, I'm pretty confident Trump beats him on that too. Where else are you guys going to go? Where else? There's got to be somewhere else. There's got to be somewhere else. There is. Let's talk about treasury rates because the treasury rates can generally correlate with expected growth in the economy the interest rate on 10-year treasuries which correlates with expected gdp growth rose 1.12 percentage points under trump versus an increase of 0.16 percentage
Starting point is 00:47:24 points during the comparable Obama period. Do you guys have anything? Seriously, do you have any? Is there anywhere you can go? What has happened to the new normal? Right, yes. We used to address that all the time. How secular stagnation.
Starting point is 00:47:38 The explanation under Obama was, it's not. It's a good point, Joe. We used to bring this up all the time. It's not Obama's fault. It's just a new normal. They called it secular stagnation. You ever hear that term, start laughing immediately. Secular stagnation is the liberal talking point.
Starting point is 00:47:54 Secular meaning there's no real economic explanation on the ground. This is just the way things are going to be from now on. Everything that can be invented was invented. It's not Obama's fault. 2% is the new normal or in Obama's case, real GDP, 1.5%.
Starting point is 00:48:08 It's not Obama's fault. Great point. Joe, really? If that's the new normal, how come Trump's at 2.6? Because it's not the new normal. You guys just made that up.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Read the piece, take screenshots of it. The Woodhill piece. It is so good. And just show it to your liberal friends. Well, how do you explain this? Well, the job numbers. Well, you're not talking about full-time jobs.
Starting point is 00:48:30 You're talking about crap jobs. How do you know they're crap jobs? Because the Democrats said so down in Brazil. Sorry. Stock market. Yeah, yeah. Trump's doing better there too. 6,000 to 900.
Starting point is 00:48:43 No, no. Wages. Yeah, yeah. Trump's doing better there too. $40000 to 900. No, no, wages. Yeah, yeah, Trump's doing better there too. $40 average weekly wage growth versus 30. Do you have anything? Do you have anything else?
Starting point is 00:48:53 Treasuries. Yeah, Treasury expected growth in the economy of Treasuries. Yeah, Trump, 1.12, Obama, 0.16. What else you got? What else you got?
Starting point is 00:49:02 You know, I get these emails a lot. I don't say this to do like uh humblebrag but people say to me i saw you for the first time on fox news and you know and you never lose a debate over there guys listen i'm being dead serious here i'm not kidding around i say this to my wife all the time and joe you know joe's my friend i've talked to joe about this a lot it's not that I don't lose a debate.
Starting point is 00:49:26 It's that if you even, it's impossible to lose a debate against a liberal because they never tell the truth. If you do your homework and you understand the numbers, the numbers don't lie. The numbers I just gave you are facts. It's that data point. It's not a refutable data point.
Starting point is 00:49:42 These are actual numbers. If you know the numbers, it's not like, oh gosh, he's such i believe me i sincerely appreciate the compliment and i would love to take credit for having some aptitude and achievement level beyond the scope of any other human on the platform oh my gosh dan's the greatest it's not i just read and if you read you can't lose a debate to a democrat because they're constantly lying. The Obama economy was better than Trump's. How?
Starting point is 00:50:09 Jobs. Really? You should tell the Democrats that because that's not what they said. They said those jobs were crap jobs. Matter of fact, the full-time jobs, we're doing better. And the wage growth and the jobs we did create are higher than they were under Obama.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Ah! You're a racist! Okay, whatever. It's not hard debating these people just listen to this show you'll never lose a debate again and then one guy sent me with him he's this is a great one may have been a woman i'm sorry i don't remember exactly you sent that on the name but they were like and it's so great even when you debate these PhDs, they lose. Guys, it doesn't matter. Listen, I've got two graduate degrees, too. Who cares? You either know the numbers or you don't.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Yep. Joe, am I right? You either know the numbers or you don't. If Joe does not have a PhD, neither do I. If you understand the numbers on the economy, you can't lose the debate. We lost the Reagan tax cuts. We lost money. Do you know?
Starting point is 00:51:07 Wait, did you? Do you read? Reagan cut taxes and tax revenue doubled to the government. Do you know the numbers? You either know them or you don't. You understand this stuff. You read this stuff. You screenshot the article and show it to your friends.
Starting point is 00:51:21 They're not going to have enough. Their argument's going to be, you're a racist. They don't have anything else. PhD in economics to tell me what? Numbers I can read myself? I've got an MBA. I've never once used the skills in the MBA to read basic economic numbers. Now, the context of what they mean, yes.
Starting point is 00:51:40 Net present values, hurdle rates, discount rates. Yeah, there's something. But understanding basics of economics, you don't need an MBA or a PhD. This is simple stuff. Either the stock market performed better under Obama or it performed better under Trump. This is, oh, this is not under,
Starting point is 00:52:00 there's no investigation to be conducted. The numbers are there. Gosh, it's frustrating dealing with these people. But that's why if you ever get into cable news commentary, seriously, don't sweat it. I get emails from candidates like, oh my gosh, I got to go on the air and debate this super smart liberal.
Starting point is 00:52:19 They're not smart. They're not smart. They're intelligent. They're intelligent in that they can figure out stuff, but they're not smart they're intelligent they have a they're intelligent and that they can figure out stuff but they're not smart and that they're not tactically smart i should say they don't understand when to just drop an l when to take a loss it's over the obama economy sucked just get over it stop lying don't worry about debating your liberal friends. They don't know what they're talking about. Alright.
Starting point is 00:52:49 I got one more thing to get to. Speaking of liberals lying, but today's show also brought to you by my buddies at BrickHouse Nutrition. Hey, I got a really terrific email from a woman this morning. I'm not making this up. I don't think she'd mind me reading it on the air. I'm not going to say her name, but this is a real testimonial from BrickHouse. I'm not making this up. Joe, right? Here's my phone. You can see it right there. I'm reading an actual email. Joe sees the air. I'm not going to say her name, but this is a real testimonial from Brickhouse. I'm not making this up. Joe, right? Here's my phone. You can see it right there. I'm reading an actual
Starting point is 00:53:08 email. Joe sees the name. She says, hey, I'm a 40-year-old woman. I enjoy working out. So 35 days ago, I decided to try Foundation, which is Brickhouse Nutrition's creatine ATP product. I just got this today. She says, I was hooked after three days. She's like, fast forward to yesterday. I had a long day at work. It was moving around, all this stuff. She's like, I got home and had the worst leg day ever. I guess she went to the gym. Said, I just chalked it up to being tired from work. Later, as I washed the dishes and I listened to the last 15 minutes of your show, you read the Foundation commercial for Brickhouse Nutrition. All of a sudden, I realized why I had a terrible workout. I forgot to take Foundation. Thank you for recommending this product.
Starting point is 00:53:45 I love that I can now lift heavier than before and can finally see some muscles popping. I told you. I'm not. That's a real. Joe, did you not? I'm not. I did not read that. It's not.
Starting point is 00:53:55 Brickhouse did not send that to me. I got that this morning. You know who you are. I sent that. I didn't read your name. I saw it. It's real. Yep.
Starting point is 00:54:01 That's a real email. I get these all the time. Go to brickhousenutrition.com slash dan brickhousenutrition.com slash dan pick up a bottle of foundation i am so sure this stuff works i take it myself i love it that i just ask you to do two things because results matter here we believe in facts and data right first take a little mirror test look in the mirror before you start right? First, take a little mirror test. Look in the mirror before you start taking it. Just take a little mental snapshot. What do the arms look like? You know, the chest, the legs, whatever. Take a mental snapshot. Seven days later,
Starting point is 00:54:36 after you give the product a chance to set in, load a little bit in the muscles. I want you to look at yourself again. You're going to be like, whoa, hey now. It is awesome. But secondly, in case you say, oh, so I'll look better. My muscles will look more toned. That's nice. That's cute. No, no, it's not cute. This stuff actually works in the gym.
Starting point is 00:54:55 I want you to go to the gym. And again, seven days later, take a mental note. Take a mental note of how much you squat, deadlift, curl, whatever. Run times, what you're doing on the elliptical. Then seven days later, measure it again. Your performance will go through the roof. This stuff is fantastic. Go to BrickHouseNutrition.com slash Dan.
Starting point is 00:55:14 That's BrickHouseNutrition.com slash Dan. Pick up a bottle of foundation today. You will absolutely not regret it. It is the best nutrition supplement on the market, hands down. Okay. Another great article. The show notes today are pretty epic, so please check them out. The DACA ruling. There was a ruling by a federal judge pretending to be a judge. Again, Judge Bates. I don't understand why this guy considers himself a judge. He's clearly a politician on Friday. There was a
Starting point is 00:55:40 ruling on DACA. DACA was a Deferred Amnesty for Childhood Arrivals. It was an amnesty program. Deferred action. I always call it deferred amnesty, but it's actually a Freudian slip. Deferred action, childhood arrivals. We'll call it deferred amnesty. Deferred amnesty for childhood arrivals, which was instituted under the Obama administration. It's very simple. Basically said that if you were brought to the country as a child illegally, that the law, that most of them aren't children anymore, by the way, that the law doesn't apply to you, that you get a free pass. We were like, wait, what? I thought we were a country of laws.
Starting point is 00:56:12 This was a constitutional republic, right? Apparently not. So Trump had put a hold on this program, and this federal judge said, now, no, not only are you going to reinstitute this illegal program, you are going to start taking new applications on august 23rd now this is fascinating daniel horowitz has an outstanding piece in conservative review how this judge this is this is a complete usurpation of
Starting point is 00:56:37 power and i'm glad by the way that sessions threw off a stinging rebuke to this judge. Now, liberals, your liberal friends may be saying, well, this was a perfectly legal program, Obama's amnesty for childhood arrivals. Really? Daniel Horowitz has some quotes. Who were these quotes from, Joe? Here's a quote.
Starting point is 00:57:00 I am president. I am not a king. I can't do these things just by myself. Talking about DACA, which he did by himself. There was no law. It was the pen and the phone. Who do you think said that? That'd be Barrio. Barrio!
Starting point is 00:57:14 Barrio! Yeah, baby. Here's another one. Barack Obama. With respect to the notion that I could just suspend deportations through executive order, which is exactly what we did, And that's just not the case, because there are laws on the books that Congress has passed. That's what he did.
Starting point is 00:57:30 But the judge ignores all of this. The judge is saying the program is legal, despite Obama, who instituted it, on the record saying the program's not legal. And he's demanding Trump enforce an illegal program. Here's another one. Changing our laws means doing the hard work of changing minds and changing votes,
Starting point is 00:57:48 one by one. That's not what you did. There were no votes on this, Obama. This was an executive action. All these quotes are in the Horowitz piece. Screenshot them for your liberal friends. Oh, DACA's legal? Explain this, Joe.
Starting point is 00:58:02 Eh, phone right in the face. We don't want to be liberals seriously you know me with the I don't like aggression seriously not my thing but it was a joke
Starting point is 00:58:10 but show it to them nicely because we don't want you know we don't want to be like these jerks throwing water on people and attacking people
Starting point is 00:58:18 in public ridiculous here's another one and I think there's a great disservice done to the cause of getting the DREAM Act passed and getting comprehensive immigration passed by perpetrating the notion that somehow, by myself, this is Obama, I can go and do these things.
Starting point is 00:58:31 But you did. It's just not true. We live in a democracy. You have to pass bills through the legislature, and then I can sign it. He did none of that. You understand he did none of that? Screenshot that. Show it to your liberal friends.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Hey, libs, if this program's legal, why does Obama now, one, two, three, four, why does he have four quotes on the record saying how it's illegal to do what he did? But yet the judge is now saying it's legal. So let's just be clear. Obama says it's illegal. Obama does it anyway. Trump stops Obama's illegal action. And a judge who has no authority to do this at all demands that Trump follow through
Starting point is 00:59:06 with Obama's illegal action and does not stop. This is unbelievable. We live in like bizarro Superman land. Boy, crazy times. But listen, this is why I'm here. I'm here to debunk this stuff. So just to be clear with the articles today,
Starting point is 00:59:22 if you want to debate your liberal friends, screenshot the part of the Lewis Woodhill piece with all those economic numbers. They will have nowhere to go. And screenshot the quotes for Obama on DACA. And on the DACA thing, they'll have nowhere to go to. You see, this is what we do. This was the whole idea of the show from the day we started. Give you an hour of your day, ability to argue with your liberal friends and never lose a
