get ready to hear the truth about america on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host dan bongino all right welcome to the dan bongino show producer joe how are you today happy tuesday dano i'm doing well thanks man man our audience is so big now that when i miss a joke which i often do i get probably a thousand emails from people. Yes, I don't get every bit of Joe's humor, but I feel like you all know me so well that you even know when I miss a joke. Some of you have no idea what I'm talking about.

Some of you may, but yeah, I missed Joe's joke yesterday about debaters. You can figure out the rest. And I got all these emails, Man, how did you miss? I don't know. Joe's a witty cat. I'm not. Sometimes it goes right over my head like it never even happened.

I told Dan I thought he just blew it off. I wasn't, you know, I didn't even notice it. Sometimes I do blow it off. Like if I have a topic I really want to get to, sometimes Joe, you know, provides some comic relief and I just keep going. But no, yesterday I entirely missed it altogether. I was not blowing you off at all.

It's very funny. Had a rough night last night. The fire alarms again in my house went off. It was driving me crazy. I cannot figure out what's going on. Someone told me dust or spiders get in there or something. I'm like, oh gosh, it's my daughter's first day of school today. The last thing I needed at 1 o'clock in the

morning was a fire, fire, fire, screaming in my ear. And then you're all hyped up. You can't go back to sleep. Oh, gosh. So big news day yesterday. Right when we get off the air, we find out Peter Stroke has been terminated, fired from the FBI.

There you go. It was like, oh, boy, man, this is going to be interesting. So I got a lot to cover today. Let's get right to it. Today's show brought to you by our buddies at My Patriot Supply. Hey, can you imagine going months with only the food in your pantry right now? You probably can. I know I can.

We don't shop enough for that. Well, unfortunately, this reality is brutal. This is top of the mind right now for people in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. Folks, this is why we need a plan to take care of our families if a crisis strikes where we live. This is absolutely imperative. You ensure everything in your lives that matter. We ensure our cars. We ensure our health. We ensure our teeth. People have vision insurance for eyeglasses, but some people shockingly do not have a food insurance plan. Think about that. That's crazy. You have insurance for your eyeglasses, but not for food? My friends at My Patriot Supply understand this need.

They're busy this month helping patriots prepare and they feel the need to prepare has never been greater. Don't forget this. This is what we did in my entire prior line of work. All we did was focus on preparedness. My Patriot Supply right now will sell you a two-week supply

of emergency food. It lasts for 25 years, folks. It stores super easy. 25 years of it. You don't have to worry about your food, okay? 25 years. It's a two-week supply. I have a bunch of these. It was $137. It's now $75. This is a special deal. Go check it out. Go to preparewithdan.com. That's preparewithdan.com. Or call 888-411-8926. Go online to preparewithdan.com. Pick up your two-week supply of emergency food. It was $137.

Now it's just $75. Go pick it up. Put yourself at ease. Have a food insurance plan. It is critical. All right. So before I get the stroke, a couple of other things. I have a great article up at sorry i'm going to turn that up a little bit a little bit the gain sorry if the audio is a little

out folks i have to i've been recording my audio book so the audio i have to keep adjusting and i don't like messing with the show but um i want to make sure for you guys it's obviously great um what was i going where was I going with that? Oh, a great article in the Washington Examiner today about Antifa. I really would like you to read it if you get the chance at Bongino.com. Of course, if you subscribe to my email list, I'll send you these articles. But please, we should stop calling these people Antifa. We should just start calling them what they are, which are hate groups.

There you go. Thugs, criminals, savages. Basically what I did on the Laura Ingraham show last night. These are not anti-fascist. That's what Antifa is supposed to stand for. Now, if you read the piece, the author brilliantly goes into how this is 1930s Stalinist propaganda. How this is what the original Marxists, communists, in their effort to combat people, remember, in their effort to,

in their war against freedom, I guess is what I'm getting at. They've used these semantics, this rhetorical war, to get people to, they do what's called framing. Framing and gaslighting. They frame an argument in their terms,

and then they gaslight you to believe that this stuff is true. Framing themselves these these violent brutal thugs these speech suppression civil liberties threatening advocates right these uh these animals who go and you know spits in the face of police officers attack people brutally um in an effort to get you to frame them as something different what do they call themselves they call themselves anti-fascist and the author goes into in the article the history of the term anti-fascism and how it is used by actual fascists and communists to get you to believe that they are on the side of liberty

and freedom when they're not oh yeah these antifa thugs are animals this is a propaganda ploy anti-fascism the and he talks about um excuse me, in the piece, he talked about in the piece how anti-fascism has been used for a label to cover for violence and aggression and political suppression and anti-civil liberties advocacy for eons. So, you know, I don't have a lot to add on that. I just want to strongly encourage you to read the piece because last night I was doing Laura Ingraham's show and I lost my marbles last night on the show. I mean, I just did. I mean, I mean, a good way. I don't mean like in a, you know, psychosis way, but it was late and I'm in a particularly salty mood yesterday because I'm just, I'm tired. I'm just, I'm exhausted physically and mentally having to deal with the media buffoonery around this topic. 20 people show up in Washington, D.C. Hysterically, Joe and A, unite the right.

These people have nothing to do with the right at all. I don't know these people. I want nothing to do with these people. 20 people. 20 people. I could get more people to show up at a book signing in Siberia than these people got to show up in Washington, D.C. The media spends the entire week in hysterics. White supremacist rally.

Ah! 20 people show up. The media the entire week in absolute hysterics and they completely avoid the story that the Antifa anti-First Amendment, anti-civil liberties, violence, hate group thugs

show up and start basically attacking people again. Attacking reporters, spitting in the face of cops. The story is completely ignored to focus on 20 people who show up in Washington, D.C. And hysterically, the media labels Antifa an anti-hate group because ladies and gentlemen the media is a propaganda outfit this is what listen i i again because i have to always caveat this and i mean it i am an absolute believer in the free press unfortunately the free press has the ability to be stupid which they always take us up on that offer yep this is not anti-hate, okay? Antifa is a hate group. They embody hate.

They worship hate. They love hate, violence, anger, aggression, greed. This is what they are. Don't buy into the media hype. And please, please do not fall into this trap by the media where they're trying to get you to apologize for some racial identity politics group so how do you feel about the white supremacist the same way i feel about anybody who is uh engages in racist type behavior why are you associating them with that they have nothing

to do with us at all what are you talking about i don't even answer those questions well dude you know when you see people with their faces covered up, you know, that's a bad sign in the very beginning. Right. Why are you covering your face up, right? I mean, you know, there's a reason you're doing that. Because you know you're going to be engaged in criminal thuggery and you don't want to be exposed and become a YouTube celebrity. Bingo. Or infamy, I should say.

Hey, there's another angle. Wait, let me just cover Stroke quickly because I got a couple other things I want to get to which are really interesting, including an angle. An angle on the... How do I say this without sounding like a pretentious jerk? And I'm really not trying to do that. It's not my goal ever. So, Joe, people in the media are starting to finally catch on to our theory here that I think we have a lot of good backing for.

You know, it's in my book about this entire operation on Trump being a setup. Yeah, I noticed. Yeah. I think even some of the liberal media are now starting to come around to the idea that, yes, there may have been something shady that went on in the Trump operation, but they're still holding out there was actual collusion. So just to be clear on this, my operating theory on this entire Trump Spygate debacle and why I think it's such a big deal is because I'm sure, based on our research now,

that this was a setup. As I keep saying to you, it's not that they tried to pull information out of the Trump team about Russian collusion. It's that they pushed the information in. The media is still operating on the theory that government entities that may have been weaponized in this case and may have engaged in some form of malfeasance or misfeasance, Joe. They're still engaged in the theory, though, that they did it because Trump was colluding with the Russians. They were trying to pull the information out. So do you see the difference? Yeah. This is a critical distinction.

I want to be crystal clear on this because what I'm going to tell you next is some pretty surprising stuff. And I'm very proud of the fact that me and Joe have been at least three to four months ahead of the news cycle. And this is going to be the next big story. So get ready. But you won't understand the next big story if you don't understand the A-B comparison here. Me, I think, I don't want to speak for other people in the media, but I know other folks there who are working on this uh Lee Smith primarily he's done a great job real clear investigations and tablet mag are operating on the theory that Trump Russian collusion does not exist okay folks please understand it's a myth that the effort to pull and spy on the Trump team and pull the collusion

information out had to be a setup. Why, Joe? Because there was nothing to pull out. Right. It's like me investigating Joe for a bank robbery he didn't commit. And I know he didn't commit it, but I'm constantly trying to get Joe to admit to the bank robbery.

So the A side, the AB comparison here, A is us, the conservatives, B is the liberal media. The A side says there was no Russian collusion. The real scandal is they conservatives. B is the liberal media. The A side says there was no Russian collusion. The real scandal is they were trying to pull the information out that they pushed in, that they sent contacts into the Trump team to go, hey, what do you think about the Russians? What do you think about the Russians? We've got information on the Russians. Now, I'm

going to give you a quote later from the Miami Herald in a piece that was sent to me, great job, that I haven't touched on this topic in a while, that shows you how the media's in on this scam. That the whole scam was to go up to Trump team members and say, hey, the Russians may have information on Hillary, and to report back on if they bid or not. That's the scam. The media now and the libs are still holding out on the b side the media and the libs are still they're not i think they've given up joe on the fact that the the investigation was above board they may not say that publicly but i think even that the kooks at cnn and msnbc

understand that there were a lot of nasty things when i'm serious i'm not giving them credit i'm just telling you that these people are devious. A lot of them are really shady characters, but they're not stupid. They have to be reading this going, okay, this doesn't look that good. But they justify it by assuming that there was an actual bank robbery. And although the FBI investigation of the bank robbery didn't go particularly well, these were noble characters because they were trying to solve a bank robbery. They still believe that there was Russian collusion. There wasn't. Understanding that, you'll see why the media is blind to what's finally starting to come out,

at least on the fair media and Fox and stuff and in the conservative media. Lee Smith was on Tucker yesterday in his piece in Real Clear Investigations, which is in yesterday's show notes, about the Trump Tower meeting. And listen, I've spoken to Lee. We're not like close friends, but I know Lee. I've had him on my NRA TV show.

He's a great guy. He's a terrific reporter. Lee, I, and others, Joe, have been on this for months. It's not a pat on the back. I just, again, don't want you to think you're wasting your time here. The Trump Tower meeting article he did, it went nuclear yesterday,

that the Trump Tower meeting between Don Jr. and the Russian lawyer may have, in fact, been a setup. This is old news to Lee and to me. It's only just now starting to filter out. Now, get what I'm saying here. I'm talking about now the A-side, that all of these contacts with the Trump team were not, in fact, efforts to

collude with the Russians. They were, in fact, pushed contacts by the government trying to set up the Trump team for collusion with the Russians. The Trump Tower meeting, where the Russian lawyer who shows up is working with a company hired by Hillary. The former Russian intelligence officer that shows up is very close to the Clinton sphere.

His lawyer is very close to the Clinton orbit. The translator that shows up has done work with the State Department. The connections are endless to the Clinton team. Everybody who contacts the Trump orbit has some connection to either the FBI or the Clinton team and almost no contact with actual Russians who have dirt on Hillary, which is the great irony. Now we got another one. Oh, yeah, we got another one. You may have missed this, but this is going to be the next story. And it ties two specific lines of thinking in. One line of it is the one I was just talking about, that there is no Russian

collusion. All of these contacts were forced, were forced by the federal government. The other thread I've been dealing with the entire time is that the Mueller probe was very specifically engineered for one reason. And Mueller was selected and his conflicts and the conflicts of his lawyers, who were mostly Clinton people, they were selected for a reason and muller was selected and his conflicts and the conflicts of his lawyers who were mostly clinton people they were selected for a reason it's to run interference and to keep the attention on the trump collusion fairy tale even though they know it doesn't exist while keeping attention away from all the really nasty stuff that happened with the fbi on the clinton side and uh i'm on the weaponization of government side against the Trump team.

Okay. The Mueller team is a distraction. It's a probe. The probe is only there to keep the attention on the Trump team. And every single time news starts to break, you can expect Mueller to drop a new quote bombshell about something he's doing to, you know, to keep the attention on Trump. We saw it with Cohen and other things. The story I'm about to tell you ties both of those together.

So, the contacts, the contacts matter. Everyone who contacts the Trump team has some connection to Fusion GPS or the FBI. I read an article the other day about Roger Stone

who was, you know, a friend to Trump, knows Trump, and may have provided some political guidance. The exact extent of the relationship is unclear. I've about Roger Stone, who was, you know, a friend to Trump, knows Trump and may have provided some political guidance. The exact extent of the relationship is unclear. I've met Roger Stone once or twice. We're not again, we're not buddies. I actually just saw him not that long ago at an event I was at. But I know Roger Stone is and most of you do. And just to be clear, he is a political consultant. He's been around for a long time and he had provided apparently some kind of political advice to the Trump team. So see an article joe in a left-leaning news outlet saying muller muller's closing in on stone and what's of course the first thing that comes to mind okay what are they covering up now because i

know what muller's doing yeah what are they covering up now right anytime you read muller's closing in on someone understand there's either some other story that's going to break they're trying to cover up, or they're looking into someone because that person's connected to the Clinton team too and they're trying to let the Pinchuk case comes to mind and the other ones where Mueller's closing in on Pinchuk. Pinchuk was a Clinton donor.

What are you talking about? Mueller was investigating for a speaking fee to Trump. Did that make any sense? Only if you don't know what you're talking about. So when I saw Mueller closing in on Stone, I thought, what are they hiding now? Oh boy, oh, what are they hiding? I have an article in the show notes today. It's from about a month ago or so, but didn't get a lot of mainstream media coverage from the Miami Herald.

Stone was contacted back in March of 2016. Another contact, Joe, by someone alleging to have dirt on Hillary. Amazing. Now, again, if you're in the media and you're a liberal, you know, hack and you're not interested in the facts and the data and doing any research on this case at all because you're a propagandist for the Democrat Party.

Then you'd say in March of 2016, Stone was contacted by another person alleging to have dirt on Hillary. Russian collusion. If you're a sane person who's actually done the homework on this case, the first thing you start looking for is connections to who? The FBI or the Clinton team. So what do we got? Well, we got a doozy of a Miami Herald story about a guy named Henry Greenberg, who in March of 2016, wait, March of 2016, who in March of 2016, wait, March of 2016, according to the FBI, the investigation, that's right, Joe, into Trump didn't start until July.

Oh, paragraph one rewritten again, isn't that? Wow, that's crazy. Remember I told you, the context, the paragraph one, how they started this case, the FBI cannot seem to develop a coherent story here. So in March of 2016, before the fbi investigation starts into uh donald trump allegedly this guy henry greenberg approaches uh roger stone and michael caputo a uh another associate of the trump orbit somehow and asks for two million dollars

for information uh on hillary clinton just incredible how all these people keep approaching the trump orbit george papadopoulos carter page ladies and gentlemen how stupid do you have to be to believe at this point this is all chance i mean this is seriously insane at this point what's interesting about this interaction of course I'm not just going to leave you there you may say okay great so a guy approached Stone and Caputo alleging to have information on Hillary what's your point

Caputo goes in for an interview about his contacts with the Russians and he says you know what was interesting the FBI seemed more familiar with this guy Greenberg who approached them than I did they seemed to have all the answers before I even answered the question even more interesting Greenberg has in his file these parole letters, parole type letters as are issued by federal law enforcement for cooperation with the FBI in the past. And there are very credible allegations that Greenberg may have been an FBI source in the past. Oh, oh, really? Oh, isn't that crazy?

So now we have a March 2016 meeting before a crossfire hurricane starts with yet another person alleged to be some Russian agent with contacts and dirt on Hillary that approaches a Trump team member with an offer of dirt or info, whatever it may be. Yet another person who is seemingly connected to the FBI by a paper trail as a potential source in the past. And during the meeting, Caputo says the FBI had more information about the source than I did. But again, listen, media types out there, I understand you have no entrepreneurial interest in doing actual journalism. You may want to start asking questions because this is going to blow up entirely in your face. Now, does it make sense? Joe, Mueller's closing in on Stone. Here we go again. Whenever you want to find out what the Mueller team is up to, just look for the connections to Hillary, Fusion, GPS and the FBI and you'll figure it out right away. This Greenberg guy.

Read the Miami Herald piece, please. It's in the show notes today. Has connections, a paper trail with the FBI again. Another source went out to be clear. Was he working for the FBI in this case? Open question at this point. I cannot confirm that on the show. In other words, was he working for the FBI

specifically with regards to this contact with Caputo? We don't know that yet. Was he just, or was it some kind of a shakedown? In other words, hey, give me two million, I'll give you information on Hillary. I'm not sure that's an effective shakedown. That's kind of a ridiculous price. I mean, listen, I worked in law enforcement.

Anyone who's seriously trying to get money for someone doesn't ask for $2 million right out of the chute for stuff like that, especially given a lot of the information on Hillary, sadly, was already out there on the internet. But what we can confirm is that there is most definitely a paper trail between Greenberg and contacts with the FBI. Now, what's interesting, Joe, is the FBI is not commenting on their relationship with Greenberg.

Folks, again, it is now starting to seep out into the media, not the left wing media, because they're still convinced that there actually is Trump Russia collusion. There isn't. That will never happen. It does not exist. convinced that there actually is Trump-Russia collusion. There isn't. That will never happen. It does not exist, okay? But when you look at Fox and you look at other outlets, and Lee Smith's been doing God's work on this as well, you're starting to see the narrative about this being a setup, that Trump was framed, is finally starting to make it out there. And everything we've been talking about for the last six months is starting to come out. I told you, the last six months is starting to come out. I told you. I was vectored in the right direction in this early, very early, and I came across a piece of information, hat tip to Lee Smith, by the way, for a lot of it, that pointed me in the right direction. Lee has been on this for a

very long time. This was a setup, folks. Now, I said to you, I'd read you a quote from the Miami Herald showing you how genius the setup is. Because now what's going to happen, this is going to be phase, what, 672 of the media's propaganda. I'm sick of them. I'm so tired. I am so, I'm tired of being tired. Just tune them out, ladies and gentlemen.

Do not click on CNN, The Washington Post, The New York Times. Don't turn on the channel. Change the channel in the airport, in the gym. These are really, these people are really horrible folks, okay? They have the right for the free press. They have the right to be horrible people. Unfortunately, they take us up on that invitation every single time. That the fact that they continue to propagate this nonsense about Russian collusion in an effort to start some kind of a cold civil war in this country is absolutely disgusting. Now, the Herald, who's either too dopey to figure it out or knows what they're doing, either one's bad.

or knows what they're doing, either one's bad. The Herald writes in the piece that this meeting between Stone and Caputo and what's his face, Henry Greenberg, who had contacts with the FBI in the past, Joe, quote, underscored a willingness of the campaign to meet with Russians, boasting of scandalous information. You understand how this works, Joe? So here's how it works. Because remember, the media is solely a propaganda arm right now for the liberals and the anti-Trump left and the anti-Trump swamp. That's all they are. These are not journalists. They're not to be taken seriously. They're not credible people.

They don't know anything. What they do know is wrong. When they know it's wrong, they lie about it. These are not serious people. I cannot say this enough. Ignore them. Ignore them. And challenge them at every opportunity. The way it's working now is some in the media are starting to get a whiff that this may have been a setup. Some are still committed to the collusion fairy tale.

But some are getting a whiff that this may be ugly, Joe. The new narrative is going to be. The new, new, new, new, new, new narrative is going to be this. Okay, it may have been a setup from the start. In other words, there was no Russian collusion. And all these people that contacted the Trump team were connected to Hillary or the FBI. In other words, not the Russians, Mifsud and others, right? But Joe,

it quote, underscored a willingness of the campaign to meet with Russians boasting of scandalous information. You get it? You see the trick? We'll flip you. We'll flip you for real. This is the dipsy-do flipper-ooski. This is the multi-dipsy-do.

Yeah. The dipsy-dipsy-do flip-a-rooski. This is the flip you. The flip you for real. This is it. Every time they get caught, the hacks in the media, the liars in the media,

will go out and find a new way to spin their fairy tale. Their fairy tale now, once the, because I'm telling you, just trust me on this. Some of them are still holding onto the collusion. I know I'm saying two seemingly contradictory things. I'm not. There are some, a good swath of them, that are still holding onto the fact that, yes, this was Russians trying to reach out to the Trump team. Some of the smarter ones, who are still devious but smart, are starting to fact that, yes, this was Russians trying to reach out to the Trump team. Some of the smarter ones, who are still devious but smart,

are starting to realize that, man, this looks really bad. All these people we thought were Russians reaching out to the Trump team. These people are not Russian. They're connected to either Western intelligence, the FBI, or the Clintons. Ladies and gentlemen, Trump may have been framed. The new narrative is going to be, yeah, but it doesn't matter. The Trump team is still at fault anyway

because they shouldn't have accepted meetings with people they thought were working for the Russians. Listen to me. Listen to me. I have not steered you wrong. I have not steered you wrong on anything. I told you there were things going on behind the scenes. Now look what's happened.

Stroke's been terminated. McCabe's been terminated. Comey's been terminated. Baker's resigned. Rabicki's resigned. Page has resigned. Yates has been fired. I told you things were going on behind the scenes.

I've not been wrong. You may not be happy with the pace of it. That's fine. McCabe's been referred for criminal charges. I get it. I'm not suggesting to you Sessions has done everything right. I think the recusal was awful. But pretending nothing's going on and that Trump is entirely in the blind on this is nonsense.

I have not been wrong. I have not been wrong to you about this setup. Everything I have told you has come out in the news. This was just reported last night. Lee Smith stories like this was breaking news. That the Trump Tower meeting may have been a setup we have been telling you this forever I'm telling you now the next phase is going to be this Greenberg Stone thing they are trying to shut Stone up

again I don't know Stone I'm not I can't vouch for Stone because I don't know him I don't know what he was up to, what he was not up to. I do know this, though, that the guy who reached out to Caputo and him unquestionably has some ties to the FBI that they are currently not commenting on. And when it comes out finally in the wash that this was all a setup, I'm telling you again that the media's new narrative is going to be, well, it may have been a setup, but hey, you know, they shouldn't have accepted the meeting in the first place. Disgusting. Now, some of you email me and say, well, Dan, you know what? I don't know what,

someone said to me the other day, I love the story, but I feel like it's frustrating because what's going to happen? Ladies and gentlemen, it's already happening. I just want you to take some solace in the fact that people are paying a price. You know, we don't do on the right mob justice like the left. They have managed right now, the Trump team team to clean out nearly the entire management level of the fbi it is not happening fast granted are there going to be criminal prosecutions if the evidence presents itself i hope so if it doesn't i hope not but folks things are happening

think about it think Think about this. Under the Obama administration, Joe, we had the IRS scandal, the Benghazi scandal. Did anybody get fired over any of that? No. No. Lois Lerner's still getting a pension from the U.S. government, from the IRS.

Trump's been in office two years. He's nearly cleaned out the entire upper level of the DOJ and the FBI. You may say, well, Bruce Ohr still has a job. Bruce Ohr has been demoted. Bruce Ohr will be out of a job shortly too. I'm sure of it. It is happening.

Not fast. But it's happening right smile a little bit these people the people who were involved in this not that i take solace in their lives being ruined i don't take a solace in that for anyone but it's over for them they engaged in a massive scandal to frame and set up the trump team and spy on them they've lost their jobs. They have zero credibility. Their whole management team of the Bureau has been wiped out. They're all a laughingstock.

Comey's a joke. Comey left the FBI thinking he was Captain Credibility. He's a laughingstock. He's a joke on the right and the left. He's become a punchline to liberal and conservative jokes. McCabe just got referred for criminal charges. Strokes become a meme on the internet, got fired. He's humiliated every day with his texts. Sally Yates, a farce, a total joke, fired by the Trump justice. Sally Yates, she may be a hero to the left, but her career history is going to judge her as nothing

more than someone who abused her authority within the Justice Department to get an innocent man, Mike Flynn, prosecuted. History is going to judge these people harshly. The media is not getting over, folks. The media's credibility is down to what?

20% amongst 9% amongst Republicans now. Independents don't believe the media anymore. And you say, oh man, that's because everybody's saying fake news. No, no, that's because they're actually reporting fake news. You want to stop being called fake news? Stop being fake. Folks, we're winning here.

The swamp is being cleaned out slowly but effectively the media's credibility is in the garbage muller's team is in a panic they have no collusion so they have to make stuff up they're desperately clinging to any hope that they can keep the attention off the malfeasance of the justice Department and the FBI and on Trump, but they have nothing left. There's no predicate crime of collusion to fall back on. It's not all bad. I just don't want you to listen to the show and be disappointed. I get a lot of very depressed emails and I read them.

People are like, well, nothing's happening. It is happening. It's just not happening. I just want you to be prepared, though, for what's coming next. The media is getting ready for this shift. Once the framing of Donald Trump is established and the setup and these FBI and Fusion GPS connections to the people that contacted the Trump team are well established, the transfer is going to be made to, okay, they may have framed Trump, but they did it because he was willing to accept, if he just was unwilling to accept these meetings

in the first place, you know, if Woody would have went right to the police, none of this would have ever happened, the famous Woody Woodpecker episode. Disgusting. Really, really disgusting. Okay, I got a couple other things to explain, a lot of confusion out there about this one and two party consent stuff.

And I just want to clear up something quickly before I get this read. Yesterday on the tax story, you're right, the CNS piece I sent over. The income tax revenue, yes, from last year was down. I was referring to the income tax revenue, which is up. Give the corporate tax revenue a moment to set it. It was a drastic tax cut. But the corporate tax revenue a moment. This said it was a drastic tax cut. But the income tax revenue, that's why I cited Calvin Coolidge,

John F. Kennedy. I cited Reagan, George H.W. Bush. The income tax cuts did not lead to a cut in revenue as anticipated. That's why I was careful to make the distinction between correlation and causation.

Income tax cuts did not lead to more income tax revenue. There is been a dip, though, in corporate taxes, but there was a massive cut. But listen to me. Listen and please perk your ears up. Just give it some time, and I promise you, give it a year or two, that's going to go up dramatically, too. and I promise you, give it a year or two, that's going to go up dramatically too. But we are at the federal tax revenue this year is the income tax revenue is at record highs.

So I just want to make sure because I don't like to, I'm sorry when I confuse people. Sometimes I get too deep in the weeds with stuff and I do the show and I'm like, gosh, I should have just been more clear. Hold on a second. Okay.

Teeter. Teeter, I love Teeter. If any of you bought this yet, I should have just been more clear. Hold on a second. Okay. Teeter. Teeter. I love Teeter. If any of you bought this yet, I've already done one read. I think this is my second read. If you haven't, you're missing out huge. You ever try an inversion table? This is one of the greatest inventions ever, especially if you're like me. You have arthritis and you have back issues. I used to use this in the Secret Service Training Center. We had an inversion table. It was the greatest thing ever you'd come off it it almost felt like a teeter high like you

inversion table they flip you over and you get this just incredible feeling when you get off I said to my wife when she first saw me doing it we have it in the bedroom this inversion table right she walked in one day she was like oh, oh my gosh, what are you doing? And I said, I'm inverting.

And she's like, does it hurt? I'm like, it hurts. I could fall asleep on this thing. It's so relaxing. It's the greatest thing ever. It's like a massage for your entire spine and soul. I love it. I can't say enough about them, the Teeter inversion table.

With the Teeter inversion table, you use gravity and your own body weight to decompress your spine and relieve pressure on your discs and surrounding nerves. And man, does it feel good. Put on some of that meditation music and invert for a little while. You'll feel like a million dollars. Decompressing on a teeter inversion table for a few minutes a day is a great addition to anyone's daily routine to maintain a healthy spine and active lifestyle without the pain. If you have back pain, even if you've been lucky enough to avoid back pain, you need a teeter to invert every day and keep your back and joints feeling great. I just recommended this to my camera guy in my studio, by the way. I feel like a new man when I get off the thing.

It decompresses my spine. It's good for my shoulders, and it's really, really relaxing. Some products I talk about I use regularly. Some I can't use every single day, but this one I do twice a day, actually. I do it before the show, not this morning because I was running late, but I do it about five minutes before the show and then after I get out of the gym,

I use the sauna afterwards, then I go on the teeter. Oh, man, you feel like a new man. You feel like you're 20 years old again. Over three million people have put their trust in teeter. They've been the best known name in inversion tables since 1981. They're the only inversion table brand that has been both safety certified by UL Laboratories and FDA registered as a class one medical device.

Send me your reviews. You're going to love it. Okay. Quickly on this one and two party consent things. This is a little bit confusing to the general public. This is going to be an epidemic in the future, by the way. What am I talking about? I'm talking about the recording of people in conversations, recording of people on the phone.

This used to be complicated. I remember as a young federal agent, NYPD officer, we used to do recording calls all the time. You get a guy, he calls a drug dealer, and you get the call on tape. That way you'd have evidence for what? For a prosecution case for sale of narcotics or drugs in court. It used to be tough, Joe. There was an earpiece they would put in their ear uh you know it would run down to a recording device i mean you know it wasn't like i mean i don't want to be hyperbolic it wasn't like rocket science but it wasn't easy either you'd have to put a little like header on the tape and you know it was actual tape remember the tapes you'd put the pencil in

and rewind them and all that stuff there would be little micro cassettes and you'd have to record it and store it. Nothing was solid state. And when I first started in the Secret Service, then we went to solid state recorders. Those were a little easier. Now, what do you do? You pick up an iPhone, you download an app and you hit record as you're on the phone. This is not complicated. Like a five-year-old could do it. The problem with that is that everybody's recording everybody now. And as Joe well knows, I was a victim of this myself by an animal guy who pretends to be a reporter,

one of the biggest losers in the state of Florida. Yeah, you can tell I still don't like this guy a little bit, but I was a victim of this myself. Everybody and anyone is recording everything you say all the time now. Be prepared. I'm just warning you. I hate this about that.

We can't even have a conversation anymore without somebody recording. This is becoming a hot issue because now we have Omarosa, who, you know, just in one of the more disgusting episodes I've ever seen in my life, was recording people all over the White House. She's so proud of it, too. Look, I recorded people. She thinks this makes her sound good. Omarosa, one of the worst human beings on the planet. Now she says she recorded Ivanka, Jared, John Kelly. Omarosa should never be allowed on TV again. Cable networks should shun this woman. What she did

was disgraceful. So this is becoming a hot issue. I get, I kid you not, probably 15 to 20 emails a day with people, from people asking me questions. Is this illegal? What's the law? I don't understand. Now, you have to understand the difference between one and two-party consent, okay? This is not a, federally, federal law is one party consent states have different laws on consent though i'm not explaining this well let me just explain what

one party consent is first when you record someone if joe and i were in a conversation and joe say clicks record on his iphone it doesn't tell me right so let's say joe and I were in a conversation and Joe, say, clicks record on his iPhone and doesn't tell me. So let's say Joe and I are having a conversation about my recent re-signing with CRTV, which actually happened, yeah? Celebrating that today? I'm taking this all down. Just re-up with CRTV. Joe's recording this right now.

I got it. See, the difference now is I know Joe's recording it because it's a podcast. But if Joe, let's say, I'll give you an example. Let's say at the end of the show, Joe and I, we, you know, we, we count off and we usually talk. Let's say Joe at the end of the podcast, right? Yeah. Is quietly recording the Skype feed after the show.

And I start talking about CRTV. Joe, what a great deal. This is awesome. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. And for some reason, Joe thinks there's news value and leaks that to the media. I've done that. Yeah.

Joe is, you have. Joe is in Maryland and I am in Florida. Joe would have committed a crime. You know that, Joe? Because both Maryland and Florida are two-party consent states. Meaning, Joe and two parties,

the two parties on the call, both have to consent. So if Joe were to record me after the show without my permission and leak that on the call, both have to consent. So if Joe were to record me after the show without my permission and leak that to the media, Joe in Maryland and me in Florida, they're both two-party consent states. It doesn't really matter

as long as one party's in a two-party consent state. Joe would have committed a crime. Make sense? Yeah, I'm in trouble. You would be in big trouble, Joe. Joe's in trouble again. Felonia, smopery, bank robbery, spying.

Poor Joe. Joe and Joey Bag of Donuts involved in the worst crimes known to man. Now, if we were in New York, where I'm initially from, and both of us were in New York, and Joe did it. Joe's in whatever, Smithtown, and I'm in Glendale, two places I lived. New York is a one-party consent state. Meaning if one party consents to the recording, Joe, because Joe's recording it. Of course he consents.

He hit record. If one party consents, the other party does not have to know. Most states are one-party consent. Only 12 states are two-party consent states. are one party consent. Only 12 states are two party consent states. Now, there's a reason for this. That, of course, in the shallow, mile-wide, quarter-inch deep analysis by people in the media with no law enforcement experience at all. This is, of course, why I object to a lot of people going on the news who claim to be journalists and spouting off about law enforcement matters. They have no idea what they're talking about most of the time you may say to yourself well why would a liberal state like new york joe

that usually always airs against you know uh all this kind of stuff why would they allow only one part you know you think they'd be a two-party consent state yeah you think well a lot of these states the law enforcement law enforcement can't stand two-party consent. Why? Because think about it, Joe. If I catch you and Joe's now say, Joe, let's say Joe's slinging meth. I catch Joe. I say, Joe, I need your supplier. He says, all right, I'll call him.

In a two-party consent state, Joe would have to tell the meth dealer, excuse me, Mr. Meth Dealer, I am now recording you. To which the meth dealer is going to do what, Joe? Promptly hang up the phone. So in a lot of these states, both liberal and conservative law enforcement prefers one party consent. Now, the skid where it gets a little confusing. Federally, when you're a federal agent, you're only required one party consent, which created an interesting dilemma for me when I started in the New York field office of the Secret Service and then transferred to Baltimore later in my career

in Maryland. New York is a one party consent state. Maryland is a two party consent state. Now, I had forgotten that when I got there because I had been on the Secret Service protection detail for four years and it's basically stopped working criminal cases. So up in New York, you catch a bad guy with counterfeit, which is what we did a lot. First thing you did was you got him on the phone with his supplier and you recorded it. Hey, call up Joey Bag of Donuts. I want him on tape. You then bring the tape over to the United States Attorney's Office. You go, hey, United States Attorney Jones, here's a tape of Joe's counterfeit source talking about how he sells it for whatever, you know, a dollar to every $10 a counterfeit.

Oh, great. Let's go get them. Draw up a warrant. I go to Baltimore after I leave the Presidential Protection Division, and I'm only there a couple weeks. And I forget what the case was. But remember, federally it's fine. For a federal case, it's only one party consent. So I forget what we were doing. But it was a case, and it was initially a federal case. And the United States Attorney that says yes or no to prosecution, Joe. Remember, they make the prosecution decisions.

The investigators, like the Secret Service and the FBI only make investigative decisions. The intake prosecutor says, looks at the case and says, ah, this is crap. I don't want it. It wasn't crap. It was a good case. So me following the New York model when I was in the New York office, I'm like, hey, let's go bring it to the Maryland State Police. The guy in the office goes, they can't use it. I said, well, why not?

He says, because we recorded the guy. I said, so what? He's like, no, dude, this is a two-party consent state. Maryland can't use it. I was like, oh, like it totally flew off. Listen, I had just gotten off the protection detail five years, and I was used to the New York model. I should have known, granted, but, you know,

I don't show I never spin your wheels. And we couldn't do anything with it. I mean have known, granted, but I don't show I never spin your wheels. And we couldn't do anything with it. I mean, we could. The evidence wasn't acquired illegally. The federal rules are one party consent. But you can't use that evidence in a Maryland state case. You'd have to go build the case some other way. And I forget what happened, but I don't remember all the details of it. But bottom line is we didn't move with the case. It may not even been my case. It may have been someone else's. But I specifically remember that. Damn, it's a two-party consent state here. I forgot. I bring this up because I'm getting all these questions about

Omarosa. Omarosa did this disgusting recording in the White House. Now, this is unquestionably a violation of her security clearance rules and regs. The real question is, is it a violation of the law? And the answer is probably not because Washington, D.C. is a one party consent area. So I listen, you know my feelings about this. This is one of the most disgusting, filthy moments I've ever seen in the history of politics amarosa should be shunned from public life forever but i'm saying i'm just telling you because we try to report the facts here as best as we can i don't think she broke any laws because it's a one-party consent state and if she hits the record button she's the one party

you tracking that, folks? Now, if she had done it in Florida, in Mar-a-Lago, she'd be in a world of trouble because Florida is a two-party consent state. So if Omarosa has any recordings in Mar-a-Lago, Omarosa, who doesn't appear very bright, by the way, may be in a world of trouble because she may have committed a crime. And remember, it's not where the recordings made. It's where both of the both, both, both, both of the parties are. I had a reporter once call me from New Jersey. True story from a conservative outlet.

I'm not kidding. Goes to show you how little Joe journalists, I'm using the dreaded air quotes, you know. And I said to him, are you recording this? He goes, yes. I said, you can't record this. I didn't give you permission. He goes, yeah, I'm in New Jersey.

I said, what does that mean? He goes, yeah, it's New Jersey. We're a one party state. I said, it doesn't matter. Are you that stupid? I was furious. I said, brother, delete this right now. It wasn't, it was just like a political comment.

I just don't like being recorded at all, unless I give you my permission. He didn't know it's the guy, both parties have to be in a one-party consensus. He didn't know this. He had no idea. This guy was a journalist. He had no idea.

He goes, and to his credit, he was like, i'm very sorry and i'm reasonably confident it doesn't matter if you delete it it was an anodyne conversation anyway but uh he was apologetic afterwards he did not know i'm like you may want to look that up in the future dude so what I'm trying to say is even if Amorosa was in DC and Trump called her from Mar-a-Lago or or another two party consent state Amorosa may be in a lot of trouble but Amorosa's not very bright so I don't think she figured a lot of that out

did that make sense Joe? because I'm getting so many questions and forgive me for not answering them individually on email but i figured i'd address it on the show i think you've hit that about three or four times as a matter of fact yeah cool federal law in a federal criminal case one party consent applies you're going through the federal system a federal agent it doesn't matter where you are you can be in maryland it doesn't make a difference as long as they're not prosecuting you through the state court system, federal law is one party consent. 12 states have

two party consent. If you want to use that state judicial system, it is currently illegal in those 12 states outside of law enforcement and other exceptions. What I just told you, federal law enforcement, other things. It is illegal to record someone without their permission. It only matters where both parties are, not where the guy making the call or the woman making the calls. While I was in a one-party consent state, doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. How about that?

I'm not sure Omarosa knows that, but we'll figure that out in the coming days. Okay, I got another great story by Chuck Ross. This is a good one. And I'm going to try to squeeze in some quick debunking here too. But today's show also brought to you by our buddies at Brickhouse Nutrition. Hands down, best nutrition supplement products on the market. No question about it. Yesterday, I talked about Field of Greens. My wife said, hey, we should reach out to Miles because we've been... I'm not kidding, by the way. I don't make any

stuff up to sell. Listen, I love Miles and everything, but we only deal with sponsors we like, and I've had them forever with us because I always get really terrific reviews, and we've been getting an unusually large number of positive reviews to our email system about Field of Greens. We always get positive feedback, but I think now that I've been talking

about the product a lot, more people are picking it up, and the reviews have been just spectacular. People feel better. They love it. They love the fact that they're getting their fruits and vegetables in every day without having to cook 62 pounds of corn

and spinach and kale and eating blueberries and raspberries. Listen, that's great. You should do that. Make no mistake. Neither Miles, anyone at BrickHouse or me is suggesting if you have the opportunity

to eat vegetables, you should be eating them. But think of this as your fruit and vegetable insurance. You should take this every day. It is ground up, real, wholesome, fresh, life-enhancing fruits and vegetables. It's real food. It's not extract. It's not the crap in these other products out there. You know, wonder food, wonder food. Take two pills, garbage, junk, throw it in the garbage. It's extract. This is real food, ground up wholesome fruits and vegetables. It tastes delicious. I love it. My kids love it. I take a scoop twice a day, sometimes in green tea.

If I need a little caffeine, sometimes in orange juice, it tastes really good in orange juice. My daughter calls it green juice because it gives it a little green tinge when you put it in there. It's delicious. Go give it a shot. You want to feel better? You want to look a little better? You want to give it a week. Give it some time and just report back.

us your reviews you're gonna love it okay um another terrific story by chuck ross in the daily caller about just how extensive the disinformation campaign on all of this around trump was uh this one's a quick one but uh and let me give a disclosure here. It's important. I hate when people say a full disclosure. It's a disclosure. What is it, a half disclosure? That's the whole point of disclosure.

If it was a half disclosure, it's not a disclosure, right? Isn't that the point? Full disclosure. This is a disclosure. I work for NRA TV now. I do not work for the NRA. Now, liberals are really dumb. They still can't figure that out.

I get these tweets all the time, but I don't expect them to. They're just not really... I shouldn't say liberals. A lot of them on Twitter are very dumb. I know this because I have to read it every day. They continue, I don't work for the NRA.

NRA TV is a distinct entity. It is a production company that produces a product for NRA TV. That is who I work for. I'm not embarrassed by the NRA. I'm a member of the NRA. I'm proud of their mission. I'm just telling you a fact. I don't work for the NRA.

Okay? Because this story involves the NRA. I don't get talking points for the NRA. I'm not even allowed to speak on behalf of the NRA because I don't work for them. But Chuck Ross has a terrific piece today about the information superhighway portion of the Spygate scandal.

Remember, I told you that the Spygate scandal is actually three sub-scandals. It's the information laundering operation. It's the spying scandal and the framing of Donald Trump. Today, with the Stone, Roger Stone, Greenberg story, we talked about portion three, the framing of Donald Trump, how people were sent into the Trump orbit to set them up. To Joe underscore a willingness to meet with Russians.

Yeah, Russian connected people you sent in, you idiots. This is more along the first one, that information super highway where they laundered information into the justice department through bruce or bruce or was the number four official in the justice department who had absolutely nothing at all to do with the trump russian collusion investigation but inserted him into it inserted himself into it by making uh illicit contacts with christopher steel christopher steel who was working for the clintons to gin up information on trump while or his wife was working for the same organization

that hired Christopher Steele. Now, one of the great mysteries over the last few months with Chuck, which Chuck Ross, Chuck Ross's piece finally uncovers is a story, Joe, appeared in March, A story, Joe, appeared in March, March of this year, about the NRA receiving all this Russian money and an NRA lawyer who knew about an NRA lawyer. Again, disclosure, I know Cleta Mitchell. I've actually had conversations with Cleta Mitchell about some legal affairs on prior campaign runs and stuff. I know Cleta. Again, we're not friends. She doesn't represent me in any way. No money is ever exchanged hands.

Again, we're not friends. She doesn't represent me in any way. No money is ever exchanged hands. But again, with the left's focus on disclosure, except for the fact that they're not engaged in disclosure themselves, I do know Cleta and have had conversations with her in the past. Not related to anything NRA. It was just related to some campaign advice. The story was, Joe, in this McClatchy story, that Cleta Mitchell was this NRA lawyer and she warned, she was so worried that the Russians were funneling money to the NRA for Trump and she expressed her concerns

and basically these concerns were ignored and Cleta Mitchell knows and Cleta Mitchell, Cleta Mitchell, Cleta Mitchell. Yeah. What's the problem with this story? It's not true. Cleta Mitchell, Cleta Mitchell has not worked for the NRA for six years.

Cleta Mitchell, read the Chuck Ross story, has vigorously, keep in mind, this is a lawyer, Cleta Mitchell. She's not stupid. If Cleta Mitchell understood that she was lying under oath or something like that I was going to set herself up later on she would be very careful Cleta Mitchell has vigorously denied all of these charges from day one yet McClatchy is yet to retract this story that Cleta Mitchell just let

me let me just restate what the story is the story that appeared in March and the controversy around it is where did it come from? The story is this. The Russians were funneling money to the NRA to get Trump elected. And that Cleta Mitchell was a lawyer for the NRA, knew it, and expressed some concerns about it. It's not true. One of the mysteries about this story, the biggest mystery, Joe, is where did this story come from? Nobody seemed to know. Oh, Chuck Ross knocking it out of the park again.

Daily Caller story in the show notes today. Ross has uncovered the puzzle. Apparently, the information superhighway was activated again. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. What did I tell you, folks? This is scandal number one of the three-part series of the scandalous Spygate operation.

Handwritten notes uncovered by Bruce Ohr, who met with Christopher Steele, again, working for the Clinton operation under the banner of Fusion GPS to get information on Trump. On December 10th, met with Ohr in Washington, D.C. Ohr took some contemporaneous notes. Here's what one of the handwritten notes read. An NRA lawyer named Cleta Mitchell found out about the money pipeline and was very upset, but the election was over. Now you see where the March leak probably came from after the December meeting?

Now, the story here gets even more interesting, because who's our favorite member of Congress right now? By favorite, I mean the guy who is probably responsible for the propaganda and basically the slow destruction of the Constitutional Republic by his continued efforts to propagandize, gaslight, and lie to people. Shifty! Shifty! We love Shifty, don't we? Adam Schiff. Biggest liar up on the Hill. A disgrace to the U.S. Congress, Adam Schiff, biggest liar up on the hill, a disgrace to the U.S. Congress. Adam Schiff, the lead propagandist in the Russian collusion fairy tale who absolutely knows the story is false, by the way. Who was one of the guys talking about this story, even though the story is, in fact, false? Schiff Day.

OK, let me give you a little quote here from Shifty about this false story. Mitchell didn't work for the NRA. Cleta Mitchell has absolutely no idea what this story is about. This story is false. It is made up. Mitchell did not express any concerns about Russian money. She wasn't working for the NRA. She cannot deny this story in any stronger terms.

Here's a quote by Shifty, who always By the way, no one knows how Shifty, how did Shifty get this? Was Broussard talking to Shifty? Shifty! That's me, not someone knocking on my door. Quote by Shifty. Whether there was an effort by Russia to create a back channel or assist the Trump campaign through the NRA

or gun rights groups is an open question the committee's minority has endeavored to answer for the past year except for the fact that the story's not true but don't let the truth get in the way of Shifty's propaganda this guy's a disgrace an absolute disgrace he knows the entire time this story was complete bs there was no lawyer expressing concern about Russian money, the NRA. The Russian NRA story is a big hoax. Those were membership fees and people who had bought magazine subscriptions. It's a total joke. The story's a farce.

They know it. But someone leaked information, probably or, to McClatchy, who's yet to retract the story despite vigorous denials. And then who picks up the story? Someone leaks it to Shifty. Shifty then puts it out to the public and goes on CNN and dopes believe it. It's what I keep telling you. The media is the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party

that keeps giving this liar Shifty the opportunity to put out absolutely complete false narratives. It's a made-up story, folks. It's a made-up story. All. It's a made-up story. All right, one of these days I'm going to get to this Ocasio-Cortez. But you know what? I'm just going to take a minute here.

I do have two really great articles up on Gino.com where my resident debunker-in-chief, Matt Palumbo, does some heavy-duty debunking work on tax cuts causing deficits. Number one, great piece. They're real short.

I have Matt keep them short and sweet. Some good charts, easy to read in there. And another one on Ocasio-Cortez and her claims about Medicare for all saving money. But she was debunked even by the Washington Post. She said some nonsensical stuff that ICE has 34,000 beds they need to fill every day. There's a quota.

Really, what do they do? Go to foreign countries and import illegal immigrants on purpose to put them in a bed for the quota? It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. False. It's fake. Of course, we have the everybody's working two jobs nonsense by Ocasio-Cortez, which was garbage. The percentage of people working two jobs has gone down.

She said the upper middle class is shrinking. Really, Joe? In 1979, the upper middle class was 12.9% of the population. In 2014, it's 29.4. Joe, 12.9, 29.4, 12.9, 24. I'm not crazy when I tell you 29.4 is greater than 12.9, right? Yes, it is, Dan. Did you do that quick, that math?

Did that take you a while? No, I did it quick. No, it didn't. Okay, yeah, I know. See, Joe, you're not a mathematician, correct? No, I'm not, Dan. So we can both assume Ocasio-Cortez is wrong, right? Right, Dan.

Okay, thank you. Thank you. Right-o, buddy, right? Also, her claims that Medicare for All is going to save us money, complete, utter nonsense. It's going to cost the government $32 trillion. The Washington Post, by the way, of all people,

believe it or not, even a blind squirrel gets a nut once in a while, debunked those five Ocasio-Cortez claims. My problem with Ocasio-Cortez is it's not that she says things wrong. It's that she almost never says anything right. This could very well be the stupidest person on the face of the earth. Dude, you're a total renegade. Renegade was Obama's code name.

We may have to take that back. That'll be it. Joe could be the renegade. We used to be the renegade Republican. We'll have to bring that back, right? There you go. Little ode to the past. All right, folks. Thanks for everything.
