The Dan Bongino Show. Get ready to hear the truth about America with your host, Dan Bongino. Alright, welcome to the Dan Bongino Show on this enormous news day. One of the biggest ever, I think, in the three, four years you've been doing the show. Producer Joe, how are you today? I'm feeling enormous. Yeah, that's how I'm feeling. We'll leave that right there. No! We'll leave that right there. Absolutely. I don't know where Joe is going with that. I know Joe started today when I talked to him on the Skype call before in a British accent. I don't know if it was after the UK foreign involvement show we did yesterday.

He gets stuff in his head like the pirate day, which thankfully has gone the way of the woolly mammoth. And it never leaves. So who knows what's in Joe's head at any given time. All right. We're waiting to see right all right we're waiting to see uh right now as we're recording to see if uh i'm going to keep track of this on the air if dr ford shows up and in fact testifies i i again i'm even now i'm still not sure this is going to happen i am uh i will be astonished if it goes down that way um all

right i've got a stacked show for you today, including some new information that broke yesterday. But let's get right to it. I don't want to waste any more of your time here. I like to banter, but this is an important news day. Okay. GenuCell. GenuCell, thank you for sponsoring the show. My wife and mother-in-law absolutely love the GenuCell Sunspot Corrector.

All right, let's get to first things first. Joe, where's Linthicum Heights, Maryland? You live in Maryland. Yeah, it's over by the Thurgood Marshall Baltimore Washington International Airport.

Okay. Now, I asked you that before the show, right? But I didn't tell you why, correct? Yeah, you wanted to wait. Now, when you say the Baltimore Washington Airport, you live in Maryland, so that's in Maryland, correct? Absolutely. Where do you live?

What is it, about 15 miles from your house? North, maybe west or so? Probably about 10 miles from Pasadena, yeah. Planes fly over here on their glide path all the time. Yeah, it's annoying. I know. I lived right near Joe. Joe used to come over to my house.

We used to do the podcast together in studio, which, hint, hint, we will be doing together at some point soon. I'll leave it at that. But why did I bring that up to you? He has no idea.

Because, interestingly enough, Dr. Blasey Ford, who had claimed a couple of weeks ago through a surrogate and her attorney that she could not meet the deadline for getting to Washington, D.C. in time for a Monday hearing. Remember, I told you the Thursday day today was strategic because it would delay the seating of Kavanaugh if the hearing happened on Thursday until after the October 1st seating, which is an important date. happened on Thursday till after the October 1st seating, which is an important date. She had said that to her attorney because she alleges she had a fear of flying Dr. Ford, who made these allegations against Judge Kavanaugh about this sexual assault 30 years ago.

So where does Dr. Ford live? Dr. Ford lives in California. Where was the polygraph that she, the polygraph test that she was given? Where was it issued? Linthicum Heights, Maryland on October 7th. Jeez. Which Joe, as Joe accurately said, I did not coordinate with

this, but I just wanted to make sure he remembered where that actually was. It's clear as day. She went to the Hilton Hotel, which I've been to before. I know very well. Olympic Heights, Maryland, which is right near what, Joe? Baltimore, Washington International Airport. BWI. BWI, where me and Joe have flown out of countless amount of times.

Me, gosh, over 100 times easily when I used to live in Saverna Park, Maryland. So my question to you, again, is if this is a adversarial hearing, which everything should be, nobody has the right to be believed. They have the right to be heard and to produce evidence in a fair society, in a constitutional republic. The right to be believed creates a dangerous precedent where anybody's allegation at any time can result in the destruction of somebody's life without evidence. That's what that means by default. You have the right to be heard. I don't think anybody questions that. Now, the evidence being produced by Dr. Ford, since they released yesterday, and I have a great twitchy article up on my show notes today, up on Gino.com. You subscribe to our email list. Of course, I'll email these right to you.

Bongino.com. You subscribe to our email list. Of course, I'll email these right to you. They released their polygraph. And what's interesting about Dr. Blasey Ford's slow drip of information is as they release information, Joe, the information winds up hurting their cause more than helping. They keep releasing additional stuff and additional information, which contradicts her initial charges. The number of people involved in the incident keeps changing.

And now I don't even think they realized it they were some pressure to release the polygraph report which i on this show as well asked for and i want to get to some other things about that too but the first question about it we have two big questions is number one if you're afraid of flying how did you get to the polygraph now you drove you 3,000 miles to a polygraph test? Whoa. Which is, that's really impressive. I mean, listen, if that's the case, and I'm not saying it's not, but that shows a lot of dedication

if you drove 3,000 miles. If you took a plane, which is more likely because of the location of the hotel right near the airport, I am not quite sure uh how you get around the fact that you just told senate investigators that you had a fear of flying and could not make the monday hearing um again facts matter joe they should mean something yeah folks understand where i'm going with this this is no that you have the right to be heard

but the accused also has the right to hear your evidence that he or she is in fact guilty. Or we live in a society where any accusation at any time, but turns into the Salem witch trials where, where remember the Salem witch trials? What was it? What was the test? The test is they would drown you in water. And if you floated or something, you were a witch, right?

After they did. I mean, it was like the most ridiculous thing ever. You, right? The evidence matters. The evidence here, they keep releasing for Dr. Ford's team, keeps releasing. Here are our witnesses. The witnesses say it didn't happen. Here's the number of people.

But here's a different number of people over there. But here's a different number of people that were there. But here's a different number of people. The information that Dr. Ford's team is releasing, their information is turning out to be wrong. I'm afraid of flying. Well, how'd you get to the polygraph? You took a polygraph next to BWI Airport. Did you not, did you guys, did your team not think that through? Secondly, Joe, the polygraph.

Now, let me set this up.'m gonna give you yeah i know you know there were two two not 20 not 200 two questions on the polygraph i'm gonna get to the questions in a second but before that again the advantage of you listening to this show not to pat myself on the back because i have been through a lot of this stuff having had a an actual job before I came on the air, is a federal agent. We'll get to that later. Maybe we will. I'm going to leave that alone. But having been a former federal agent, I've seen and done a lot of this stuff.

I took a polygraph as an applicant when I was a New York City police officer as an applicant to the Secret Service. applicant to the secret service i remember it well because i was so upset that i had to put my uh nypd issue firearm in a lockbox yeah i was like what the hell is this i go into seven world trade center i'm a cop in new york city i was like this is my city and they're like no you got to lock up your smith and wesson 59 46 in a lockbox you can't come into the office with that i'm like what are you talking about like we work together all the time, the NYPD and the Secret Service. I was so mad about that. Sorry, I don't want to get off topic.

So I go in for the polygraph, my initial polygraph. Listen, I'm going to disclose to you something I don't have to, but I'm going to do it for the sake of, you know, you all have invested a lot of time in me, and I'd like you to know things about me, even if they are uncomfortable. My first polygraph was with a guy named Craig. I'm not going to give his last name, but he was a secret service agent and he was good. He was an excellent,

excellent polygrapher. The test was, I don't remember the exact time, but I'm going to guess it was between five to six hours long. There were well over, I don't know, 200 questions. I don't know, 200 questions. Yeah. A lot of it, some of it's biographical. Folks, the reason, again, on the polygraph, I can't explain this to you in strong enough terms because it establishes how the story on the Miss Ford's team is slowly falling apart.

Oh, we took a polygraph, therefore this has to be true. This polygraph would be laughed, laughed out of court. I can't imagine professional polygraphers with serious experience in this arena lending any kind of, oh, look at this. Wow. She did show up. This is incredible. Let's see. Wow. Listen, hey, folks, I said she wouldn't. She's there. She's there right now. So let's see what she has to say. There's a lawyer, Ms. Katz, right next to her. But the polygraph. Joe, why do you think you would set up a polygraph? If you're trying to...

You know what? I'm not going to ask. It'd be unfair. One of the reasons they do this and they ask a bunch of biographical questions first and then they set it up with a bunch of questions gauging your... It's to gauge your physiological response. Baseline, yeah? Yeah, baseline.

Exactly. A baseline measure of how you answer questions and your breathing rate, your pulse, your blood pressure, how it goes up and down. They'll ask you questions that are, first they start off with just normal stuff. What's your name? Joe Armacost. Where'd you go to school? Blah, blah, blah. What are your parents' names?

Then they'll ask you questions that create a level of uncomfort knowing you would likely lie to some of them. Have you ever cheated on a test? Listen, unfortunately, you know, some 30 lie to some of them have you ever cheated on a test listen unfortunately you know some 30 40 percent of people have but what are they going to say in a polygraph no no no no i never cheated on a test so then they'll ask you other have you ever lied to your parents listen everybody's lied to their parents they know you're probably going to say no though because you're trying to create an impressionable uh when you're an applicant for the secret service right this is how they get takes hours, an hour or two just to get a baseline measure. The fact that Dr. Ford was asked two questions about a written statement she gave, a written,

I mean literally written, not even typed, like written with a pen on a piece of paper, and you can see it in the Twitchy article I have up there, that she was asked two questions. The two questions were this, is any part of your your statement false and did you make up any part of your statement that's it don't were there any bio questions in advance how long did the test go on come on folks i mean seriously would they use a bird in a cage i don't know i have no idea what they i don't like to sing if they yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. I know exactly what you're going, you are lying, right? I don't know. Is any part of your statement false?

Did you make up any part of your statement? Folks, this is an outrageous polygraph test. This should be thrown out right away. Two? Yeah, two questions. I don't even know. There's no, mine was, oh, one more thing, just so I finish it up.

Mine was six hours long, and it was still inconclusive. Now, yeah, and you may say, well, how did you get hired by the Secret Service? Again, it's not the most comfortable thing to talk about. It was inconclusive. It didn't mean there was any deception. There wasn't. Obviously, I got the job. But I was really nervous on game day.

I needed that job bad. I wanted it. I really wanted to get out of the NYPD. I was having a rough time. It was my whole life. I mean, the Secret Service was a really tough competitive environment back then. They were hiring one out of every 4,000 applicants or something like that. And I was nervous. So I came back. They said, listen, we can't say yay or nay on this. So if you want to come back for a second one, there's just a couple questions. It wasn't the whole

thing. It was just a couple of questions they had inconclusive results on i came back for another two hours another two hours with a guy named mark and yeah i passed with flying colors obviously so or else i wouldn't have been in the secret service just to show you how the polygraph works so we can instantly throw that out uh more updates on this so two men have stepped forward uh last night now i'm not unlike the democrats i'm not sure they're credible or not the democrats of course believe anybody who comes forward at all times in the absence of evidence or corroboration but i'd be remiss if i didn't tell you this two men stepped forward as of last night and we're talking to the senate judiciary committee uh committee and are claiming that they were the ones involved in the attack on Dr. Ford

and that she is confusing them with Judge Kavanaugh. Again, unlike the Democrats, I'm not rushing to judgment on that. You understand what I'm saying, Joe, right? Two guys, why they would come forward and say they were the ones who did this. My wife was like, well, why would they do that? I don't know. But I'm not going to be irresponsible. Like Democrats go, oh, problem solved.

Problem solved. These two guys did it. It wasn't Kavanaugh mistaken. I don't know. Lindsey Graham himself, who's been a, listen, Graham's been good on this. No matter where he is on amnesty and other things. Lindsey Graham has been absolutely at the forefront of this case saying, I am absolutely behind Kavanaugh.

Graham was on Fox and Friends just a little while ago, give you a quick update and said, listen, one of them I'm not so sure about. The guy who called in, I think the quote was, sounds a little crazy or something like that. So I just want to caution you to be careful because we don't, you know, unlike liberals where their credibility is about to be shot to Hades. We don't want to do that ourselves and jump to conclusions. You see where I'm going with that, Joe? Oh, yeah. Just be careful. I'm not sure that this is accurate yet.

But a quick update on that. Another update on the case before this hearing starts. And ladies and gentlemen, don't go anywhere, by the way. I've got some really, really cool stuff supplementing yesterday. I've got another really fascinating angle. You're not going to want to go anywhere. So don't leave the show. We're going to wrap this up in a few minutes.

I just want to make sure you have all the info. In case you think this is about Brett Kavanaugh, say, Dan, of course it's about Brett Kavanaugh. The allegations are being made about Brett Kavanaugh. Ladies and gentlemen, it is absolutely not about Brett Kavanaugh. Brett Kavanaugh is the victim of it. I'll explain, it is absolutely not about Brett Kavanaugh. Brett Kavanaugh is the victim of it. I'll explain what it is in a second, but it is not about Kavanaugh. It is about keeping the Supreme Court seat open through the midterm elections, potentially even through 2020,

to rile up the liberal base of donors and activists to get them to vote and basically obstruct the filling of the Supreme Court seat no matter what. The point I'm trying to make is it doesn't matter who was in that seat. And Trump knows this. There's a reason at the press conference yesterday, Joe, that Donald Trump, he said something. You know, I love the way Trump is at press conferences. He said, I could have nominated George Washington for the seat and it wouldn't matter. The Senate wouldn't confirm.

He's right. It's not about Kavanaugh. It is about immoral, unethical, and some evil Democrats who will destroy anyone getting in their way in their efforts to keep this seat open. Now, Josh Holmes, I think his name is Holmes. He appears on Fox a lot. He was a former advisor to the Senate. He usually has some good input on stuff. He sent out

a tweet last night which was terrific he said listen don't you find it a little suspicious that a group joe called a far left group by the way demand justice has already purchased the domain name stop coneybarrett.com or dot org or whatever it is. They've already purchased it. A left-leaning group. You say, what? I don't get it. Why is a left-leaning group? I didn't say stop Kavanaugh.

Did you notice that? You say, who the heck is Coney Barrett? Amy Coney Barrett was the runner-up by many, who she was one of the final three, along with, what was it, Ketheridge, who were in the running for this seat by Donald Trump. She is a terrific conservative judge. She was my second choice, actually, after Mike Lee.

I thought Mike Lee was a better fit for it, for the position. But you remember me talking about Amy Coney Barrett? Oh, yeah. Folks, the left is... How do I say this? Do not sleep on the left. These people, you may not agree with them.

I know, obviously, you don't if you're probably here. But do not for a second underestimate their tactical capacity for developing Plan A, Plan B, plan C, all the way out to plan Z. They are already planning if Kavanaugh were to withdraw, which he should not under any circumstances at this point, given what we've seen. And Trump is showing no signs of backing down, either is the Senate, thankfully. And I think Flake might actually vote and get him out of committee, which would be good. I hope so. I hope you all are emailing him and calling his office. The left is already planning to sabotage Coney Barrett if she is in turn nominated to.

And I'm not suggesting we should do that. I'm just telling you that the left is already thought through these contingencies. It is not about Kavanaugh. It is about keeping the seat open. They've already bought the domain name. Stop Coney Barrett. Stop Coney Barrett. The signs are already printed up, folks. This is already thought out and thought through. Make absolutely no mistake. Okay. One final note on this before I move on to some other stuff, because you're going to get

this all day. And I think with my show, I owe you some other stuff too i mean uh you know you can turn into the news and get all all cavanaugh all the time but i want you to smile a little bit today i know a lot of you are worn down by this um i know it bothers a lot of you all and it should this is um it's a new low for american politics and that's saying a lot. I mean, we are now crashing through the floor of what we thought was a moral basement. And we're now into the subterranean space beneath the basement floor, headed rapidly towards the core of depravity.

It's sad to watch. I mean, it's sad to watch because I think a lot of us see Kavanaugh as kids and we're like, what if that was us? No ability to defend yourself, no possible way to clear your name

for the rest of his life. He's going to have people yelling at him in restaurants. You're a rapist. I mean, this is what's going to happen to this man. Now, if there was evidence that he was in fact a rapist, we'd say, oh, let's get to happen to this man. Now, if there was evidence that he was, in fact, a rapist,

we'd say, oh, let's get rid of him. There isn't any. The man's life is going to be ruined. Now, you may say, well, what's the good news? I thought, well, that isn't the good news. And I just want to encourage you all and Brett Kavanaugh himself, if he ever happens to listen to my show, I'm pretty sure he doesn't actually,

but we have a big enough audience that maybe someday someone can pass this on. You know, I can't say to you that, I'm not a big quotes guy because I think people resort to quotes when they don't have anything interesting to say themselves. But the Bernard Malamud line

from The Natural of all things, remember The Natural? Most people have seen the movie with Robert Redford. Right. but the Bernard Malamud line from the natural of all things, remember the natural, most people have seen the movie with Robert Redford, but the book is really terrific. And she kind of says it in the girlfriend in the movie too. She says, you know, we all live two lives,

the one we learned from and the one we live after that. And the path to true happiness is through suffering. That is folks. That is so true. I can't say that enough. Shallow happiness is drugs, narc Folks, that is so true. I can't say that enough. Shallow happiness is drugs, narcotics, opioids, alcohol, sex drugs and rock and roll. There's a reason a lot of those people, the Kurt Cobain's of the world, they kill themselves. I'm not knocking. He probably had some severe psychological issues too, obviously, to take his own life in the way he did.

I'm just saying that there's a shallow happiness in that. The real happiness is through overcoming some serious suffering for a greater cause. Kavanaugh has clearly shown a dedication to public service and a cause higher than himself throughout his life. His character, he'll never get back, folks. That's the bad news. I'm sorry. I shouldn't say that. His character is strong. His reputation, I don't want to confuse the two. That's a big actual mistake. I want to make sure you understand. His reputation, he'll never get that back. The left owns academia. The left owns the media. The left will make sure for the rest of his life they do to him what they did to Clarence Thomas. They take not a good man, but an outstanding man with a life of serving causes higher themselves,

and they make sure that his life is destroyed forever and his reputation but i want judge cavanaugh to know just like i i know clarence thomas knows that this was not all in vain that you put yourself and that to his kids you're going through this as well for a higher cause greater than yourself fighting for principles that are larger than life unfortunately you had to go through this, and I feel for you. And I have not gone through anything even remotely close to what you have,

but having run for office myself and knowing people who have, who on a much smaller scale have been subjected to nonsense and harassment and all kinds of stuff, when you come through it on the other side, you feel like you really accomplished something. Now, here's the smile part.

Sorry, but I just don't want to sound so macabre today. Article in the Washington Examiner up at the show notes, I strongly, strongly encourage you to read. It's by Paul Bedard, Washington Secrets. It is excellent. It's probably less than 400 words. You can read it in two minutes. Here's a quote, Joe.

While healthcare and the economy typically rank among the top issues for voters, there is no trend to pass midterms on the importance of court appointments. Why did I read the quote first without giving you the lead? Folks, there is no trend in modern times for voters when asked, what matters to you most, Joe? I get you on the phone calling you about a poll. Hey, Joe, you're going to vote. I'm going to vote. What matters number one to you? Typically, health care and the economy are one and two.

Immigration's been creeping up lately. There is no trend in modern times for people to say, Supreme Court appointments. Joe, let me just throw a question. You probably already figured out the answer to you in the audience as well. What do you think in the recent Pew Research survey, what do you think ranked as the number one issue to voters just given recently uh dan i'll take a guess and say uh supreme court appointments you would be right ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding winner winner chicken dinner folks smile a bit i told you i was right i said to you my i have never i said this on fox i said it here i have never seen since obamacare in modern times right joe you're at cbm joe gets listener callers

for what four hours that you're on five to nine right i can't believe it the people are furious about this i got a guy in my gym, right? Wow. I'm not going to say his name because I don't want to, you know, he has clients and stuff. But he comes up to me the other day in a treadmill. He's like, this is crazy. The guy's only marginally involved in politics at all. He's like, I can't believe this.

This is the craziest thing I have ever seen are these people out of their minds. I have emails, emails. craziest thing I have ever seen are these people out of their minds. I have emails, emails. I mean, given that I don't publicize emails unless people give me permission, hundreds and hundreds of emails, hundreds of them from people. I'm an independent. I'm voting Republican because of this. I'm a never Trumper. I'm voting Republican because of this. I'm a Democrat. This is sickening. Folks, now we have the actual data to back it up. The number one issue in the Pew Research poll, Supreme Court appointments. Ladies and gentlemen, on the Republican side, I want you to smile a little bit today knowing that the Democrats

have completely blown it. 1,000%. They have absolutely decimated and destroyed their credibility. Now, we've been pretty good at predictions. Matter of fact, if you go back to our SoundCloud account and listen to mine and Joe's show the night before the presidential election, we called every single state. I'm going to predict here that if this continues, this character assassination continues, there is going to be massive blowback. Now, we may still lose the House by a sliver, but on the Senate side, on the Senate side, where the Senate, the House does not vote on Supreme Court appointments. I'm not trying to insult your intelligence. Most of you know that. The Senate is exclusively in

the advice and consent role here. The House has nothing to do with the House of Representatives. advice and consent role here. The House has nothing to do with the House of Representatives. On the Senate side, if Kavanaugh, if this continues to damage Kavanaugh, and this continues even after he's appointed, the character attacks on Kavanaugh and his family in an effort to impeach him, the blowback

is going to be massive. The Republicans have a chance to take over three, four, five seats in the Senate. And forget three, including holding every one they have. Check that. Check the show. And forget three, including holding every one they have. Check that. Check the show. 26 minutes in on whatever day.

What is it? September 27th? I don't even know. I lose track. September 27th. September 27th. All right. All right.

But Jeff Carlson, I have in the show notes today a must-read piece about the Australian and UK involvement in the spying scandal on Donald Trump. And Carlson goes through some really significant connections and information. Some you've heard, some you may not have.

But it's a very good summary of what's gone on up to this point. information. Some you've heard, some you may not have, but it's a very good summary of what's gone on up to this point. And it got me to thinking about this conversation you and I had a couple weeks ago about Joseph Mifsud. Now, remember, Mifsud, the Maltese professor, is the one who starts this whole scandal here because he's the one who, according to the allegations, approaches George Papadopoulos from the Trump team in April and says something about the Russians having information on Hillary. Now, according to the Democrat version of events, Mifsud is a Russian asset. According to a number of folks who are highly suspicious of what Mifsud's intentions were, Mifsud's connections, at least we know from pictures and publicly available information, Mifsud's known connections.

This is not a mystery. I don't say this dispositively, but I say if you're interested in the information, this is out there. Mifsud's known connections are to Western intelligence, including United Kingdom intelligence assets, which begs the obvious question, what was Mifsud's motivation? Who was Mifsud working for? Who was he working with? Why did he approach the Trump team?

And, and, and question number one in triaging your importance. Did someone ask Mifsud to approach Papadopoulos? And was that someone related to friendly intelligence assets, the United Kingdom or the Australians? This is a critical question. Now, the FBI interviewed Mifsud in February of 2017 after Mifsud came to the United States for a State Department-linked conference. This was a Tides conference. Now, how the State Department would be working at a conference to co-sponsor or be involved with a conference that an alleged Russian spy asset was coming to speak to is bizarre.

Understand what I'm telling you. The liberal narrative is that Mifsud was some Russian asset willing to pass information to the Trump team through Papadopoulos, right? We're clear. The State Department's working with this conference, this Tides conference in February. Mifsud enters the United States, apparently at State Department approval, right? Comes into the country to speak at this conference the FBI interviews him and you're telling me this guy was a Russian spy speaking at a conference the State Department was working with the promoters on I mean this is so beyond stupid

you have to be an imbecile to believe he was an actual Russian asset right now the Bureau interviews him in February we've never seen or heard from Mifsud again. Now, again, a couple weeks ago I brought this up, but it's important now because I'm starting to seriously wonder who is helping Mifsud hide. Folks, my experience as a federal agent, it is absolutely impossible to hide.

It is. Without some sort of state help. Now, if there's state help involved, it's very easy to hide. I mean, there are a number of places in the world you can be sheltered and put away and given a new identity. It's actually quite easy. But without state help, it is extremely difficult. Let me give you just an easy example. help it is extremely difficult i mean let me give you just an easy example a guy who had deep deep connections a fear network and a network of people giving him money into

was found hiding in a hole somewhere in the world one because it's about who was that person i'm hussein you can't hide it's impossible if there's not a state-sponsored entity to help you. It's almost impossible. Is someone helping Mifsud? Now, the reason I bring this up is because Mifsud's known connections are the United Kingdom intelligence officials, Claire Smith and others. Now, I'm not suggesting there's a connection here, but I'm asking you, is it a fair question? If the Democrats are going to allege this was some kind of a Russian spy

who was passing this information off and we know Joe we now know that Mifsud to his own photos and publicly available information had deep ties to UK intelligence assets and was brought into a conference to speak with this that the State department was present is it fair enough to ask well if this guy was a russian spy did he penetrate our state department in the united kingdom intelligence assets is there a damage assessment and if there isn't why are you picking up what i'm putting down here if a russian spy as the liberals say has photos and connections through teaching opportunities others the united kingdom friendly intelligence assets we know this and was at a conference with the state department that does this guy how did we let a russian spy in here how did the united

kingdom folks let this russian spy get so close to their people do you understand none of this makes any sense no it doesn't make any where's the damage assessment yeah is someone helping this guy hide now the reason i asked that is because the united kingdom and the australians are now based on their the evidence that they've contacted that he said it himself that two foreign governments contacted him the president trump that is said two foreign governments contacted him and asked him to withhold some of the information, the declassification. Is it not a fair question to ask? Does any of this involve Ms. Sood? How is this guy hiding? And how could you hide in today's globally interconnected financial and electronically monitored world? How can you hide without state help? And if he is hiding with state help, who are the state actors that are

helping this guy? That question is so simple and it makes so much sense i can't believe it i haven't thought of it or anyone else if first i'm gonna hurt joe i have i have not heard anybody talking about this i've not heard anybody asking the basic and the reason i say it is folks when i was a federal agent it is so easy i i mean listen i let me put this out there as a public service announcement to you. If you commit a crime in the United States today, it is very, very difficult anymore for you to hide. You basically have to live on cash and cash alone with no bank account, which creates a significant problem because your money is going to eventually be stolen because you're probably running with criminals anyway when they find out you have money it is almost impossible now people do manage to do it they do manage to pull it off over time but it is very difficult without state help to hide from intel the intelligence community the foreign intelligence community the fbi local law

enforcement it is nearly impossible it just doesn't make sense i mean i'm not going to tell you what we would do but some of it's pretty simple just simple internet searches you can find people sometimes i mean all you have to do is issue a subpoena all you have to do is get a you know i mean you get a subpoena for a guy's uh easy pass record and you find out an easy pass oh you just crossed the verrazano bridge you know an hour ago it's not hard it really isn't so that was quite it's important that was in question number one secondly pretty cool i bring this up again because mifsud had very significant connections to united kingdom intelligence assets we know this through his own publicly available

photographs that are out there, some of his teaching opportunities at these campuses where other people from UK intelligence showed up. Joe, the former head of MI6, a guy by the name of Richard Dearlove, has some very suspicious connections in this, laid out pretty elegantly in Jeff Carlson's piece in the Epoch Times, which again, I strongly encourage you to read today in the show notes. I want to just read to you quickly from his piece to show you what's going on here. Remember, keep in mind, MI6, the UK, their premier intelligence outlet. They have MI5 and MI6, right? premier intelligence outlet of mi5 and mi6 right the former head of that outlet dear love a guy who i don't think he is the john brennan um of well you're calling anybody john brennan probably impugns their character even worse than you can yeah yeah you know what i'm saying he is the head

he is the equivalent of uh basically a central intelligence agency head in his country this guy is unquestionably connected deeply into the IC, the intelligence community. This is from Carlson's piece about Dear Love. And I'll make this connection in a minute because it makes a world of sense now why the United Kingdom is panicking about what appears to be, I should always just give the lead first. So it appears to be an information laundering scheme. Remember, Devin Nunes has been clear as day that there were no official intelligence channels

used to pass this information to the United States government. The question now becomes, if they weren't official intelligence channels, Joe, why not? And I told you why not, because the information would have been vetted and would have been laughed at by rank and file people in the IC. It would have been like, this is garbage. This case is a joke. You want me to print this in the presidential daily brief? Are you kidding?

The second question then becomes, if we know now why why not that it wouldn't have been vetted what exactly were the non-official channels that has become the question now was it the state department which appears obvious at this point the u.s state department were intelligence people involved with the state department to give it some air of credibility and is there a reason that the united kingdom intelligence assets involved were people who were formerly associated in other words they can use the credibility of saying hey this guy was mi6 you mean now no no was he was was was you see where i'm going yeah because if he was actual mi6 they'd have to push it to official channels and vet the information. Why do former MI6 folks, MI5 folks, why do they all keep appearing here?

We have Christopher Steele. We have Dear Love. Why do they keep appearing in this story? Here's the lead. The lead is because that was the unofficial channel to give it an official air of intelligence while using political channels at the same time. Does that make sense? They use the State Department bureaucratic channels, not intelligence channels, to avoid vetting crap information to feed to the White House and others. Okay?

Yeah. Does that make sense? Yeah. But they did it and they couldn't use official channels. So by not using official channels and using people that were retired formers it gives it the air of intelligence but it's not it's political information now here's where it gets suspicious with dear love and i'm starting to ask some real questions about this guy again the former head of the salad he says it was he dear love who advised christopher steel and his business partner burroughs to work

with a top british government official i wonder who is, to pass along information to the FBI in the fall of 2016. Dearlove was also a speaker at the July 2016 Cambridge Symposium that Stefan Halper invited Carter Page to attend. Is Dearlove, what is his involvement in this exactly so he's at this cambridge symposium where a u.s intelligence asset stefan halper invites uh carter page from the trump team to attend he works with at this guy uh burrows and he works with steel to pass information to the fbi dear love here he goes on carlson dear love knows halper through their mutual association at the cambridge intelligence seminar dear love also knows sir ian lobben a

former head of the gchq who was an advisory board member at the british strategic intelligence and advisory firm hacklett oh boy remember the names which was founded by former MI6 members and retains close ties to UK intelligence services. Now it's making total sense. This is an obvious information laundering scheme using former people, formers, who are passing information through Steele and others who are connected to the FBI. who are passing information through Steele and others who are connected to the FBI. Remember, Steele worked with the FBI on the FIFA case, passing and bypassing official channels, but using these former folks to give it the air that this stuff is legitimate intelligence.

Here's another kicker. Hacklett's founders are Christopher James and Mike Reynolds. James and Reynolds are both reportedly very close with Dear Love. So Hacklett is this company that does intelligence work that is staffed with former British Intel, Joe. Hacklett has these two guys on it who are close with Dear Love. Dear Love knows

Halper, who was the CIA spy, spying on Page. Dear Love also knows the former head of the GCHQ who's an advisory board member at hacklett and who else is on hacklett who was an advisory board member on hacklett alexander downer up until 2014 the australian diplomat who meets papadopoulos in the bar. Downer was on the advisory board of a firm staffed with former British MI6, former British MI6 guys, which again, according to the piece, former British MI6 guys who work at Hatlet and retain close ties to UK intelligence services. Who exactly was Downer talking to? Who put him up to this? I told you

yesterday, Papadopoulos is suspicious. He was recorded by Downer at this meeting in a London bar. Remember, Downer's an Australian. He's not from the United Kingdom. He is Australian, but he was on the advisory board of a company that hired former British intelligence that retained close ties to active intelligence this is making all the sense in the world now someone needs to get downer someone needs to get down get down or don't let that come out the wrong way get down or over here and downer needs to he's not going to do it he's not going to do because he's clearly running from this now someone needs to pressure downer to get over here and under oath clean up his role in this whole thing. Because we need to know immediately,

was Downer put up to this by someone at Hacklett who was dealing with former British Intel? And if they were doing it and it wasn't a former active British Intel guy, why were they doing it? Why were they doing it? What were they passing through? And were they doing it with formers in Hacklett

to give it the air of credibility when it was in fact a bunch of garbage accusations folks these are critical questions that absolutely have to be answered right now all right i got more don't go anywhere because this is important i got um i just wanted to make that that that is critical credit to make sense joe yeah were they using, so the lead on the story, were they using former British intel guys to pass information to the Obama White House and Hillary's team to give it the air of official intelligence,

bypassing real intelligence channels because they knew the information was garbage? And it seems awfully odd that Downer was a board member on hacklet which is a team of former british intelligence guys as the united kingdom is asking trump not to declassify the information it seems awfully awfully suspicious right now all right yesterday i gave this um a light brush over and it deserved more so i want to get into now soros to soros connection to this according to ignat, the conservative boogeyman.

Nobody's saying that, David. Stop being such a jerk all the time. George Soros is a liberal left-wing guy who has donated a lot of money to fighting conservative causes. Period. That's not a conspiracy theory. That's just true. Do you not follow any of this? Have you been a conservative boogeyman?

Dope. what are you do you not follow any of this have you been a conservative boogeyman dope the soros connection to this is uh chuck ross is another uh great piece i always say this great work so hat tip to him up at the show notes today a must read on sources rolling this i'm going to sum it up for you in a second uh one last read again i always appreciate your patience thanks for supporting your sponsors um today's show also brought to you by paradigm uh this this sponsors they deal with some heavy stuff and i get it sometimes these are tough reads but it's reality we got to confront it today's teenagers are dealing with bigger problems way sooner than when i was growing up

Russian collusion narrative to cover up the spying operation by Obama's team. It's now apparent that this was not just a singular effort, that the effort to do it to keep the collusion narrative around and to keep muller's team going to attack and potentially impeach the trump team to avoid uncovering the deep spying scandal is being funded by a number of very uh wealthy people it is not just a simply a political. It is an outside activist operation as well. That is not just a small tertiary point here. This is critical. We now know, according to revealed information Chuck has in his piece here, that Soros funded this project called the Democracy Integrity Project, which in 2017 was started and hired Fusion GPS. Now, I'm going to put this together for you. It's going to leave your eggs a little scrambled in a second.

So George Soros uses his money, significant amount of money, to fund a project called the Democracy Integrity Project, which hires Fusion GPS, the company that produced the hit job Trump fake dossier, right? Which essentially means Soros money was flowing to Fusion GPS. Who formed the Democracy Integrity Project in 2017 to continue the Trump investigation after Trump had been elected president and the collusion narrative started to fall apart? Who founded that? Dan Jones. Some of you may be like, whoa. Some of you may be like, what?

Some of you may be doing one of those, dude? Who's that? I don't know. If you remember the names, Dan Jones was a staffer for Dianne Feinstein, who used to sit on the committee that was looking into these things before she stepped aside on that Intel committee. So a staffer for Dianne Feinstein, who was involved in the committee doing all this alleged investigation into Russian collusion, leaves Dianne Feinstein's office so goes and starts a group called the democracy integrity project that gets money from george soros and is working with fusion gps after after joe fusion gps has been entirely discredited for producing a fake dossier on donald trump folks they cannot let

this go this collusion narrative and the bob muller team must stay alive oh i'm not done that's not the egg scrambling part yet i I didn't even get to that yet. This is just setting the groundwork. The money is still flowing. Enormous amounts of capital still flowing to people connected to the United States Senate, Dan Jones and others, to ensure that the Russian collusion fairy tale stays alive and Bob Mueller stays on it, despite the fact that to this day, not a scintilla of evidence has actually been produced that this is true. Here's where it gets crazy.

What did I tell you yesterday they were covering up? Told you they were covering up a massive political spying scandal and weaponized government by the Obama administration to spy on the opposition political party before the election. Ladies and gentlemen, how many people were involved in this? Remember Evelyn Farkas? Yeah. Remember that Evelyn Farkas clip from MSNBC? She was a Department of Defense employee who won on MSNBC right after the

election of Trump. It was talking about how serious the collusion was, and she said, oh, we had to make sure people up on the Hill got this information. Really? Was Dianne Feinstein and her staffer Dan Jones in on it? Why is Dan Jones so intent on making sure collusion stays alive and the spying scandal gets buried under this mound of muller investigations who else was involved in this show was the information being used by the executive branch in a politicized spying scandal central intelligence agency assets being sent at the trump team potential queries into the 702 beta, national security letters, unmaskings, basically essentially monitoring of Donald Trump team members' calls,

the use of foreign intelligence to pass information on the Trump team to the United States. How far does this information network go? And was it flowing up on Capitol Hill into the Senate committee? Dianne Feinstein was once a part of. Why'd she leave? the Senate committee Diane Feinstein was once a part of. Why'd she leave? Do the leaks make more sense now? The leak investigation. Remember, a Senate staffer on that committee, James Wolf Joe, was arrested by the FBI and is being prosecuted for making false statements about those leaks. But something happened with Wolf, Joe. So just to be clear, let me just get the lead. I don't want you to mess this up.

Obviously, collusion is a fairy tale. The collusion fairy tale is covering up this massive spying scandal. Obama weaponized the government to spy on his political opponents. I believe strongly now that information was shuttled over to Capitol Hill to senators and others who leaked it to the media to damage and destroy political opponents. In order to cover that up, it's very suspicious that a former Senate staffer to Dianne Feinstein left to start an operation, the Democracy Integrity Project, funded by Soros, who still wants to keep this collusion fairy tale alive. Now, the leaks start to make more sense and the leakers

protestations make more sense too. So James Wolfe, this staffer there, is arrested. James Wolfe, if you remember what I covered in the show a few weeks ago. Now it's starting to come together. Wants in his defense, wants to subpoena the senators on the committee to speak on his behalf in a case. Remember what he was arrested for, Joe? He was arrested and prosecuted, not for the leaks. He was arrested and prosecuted for lying to the FBI about the leaks. Now, now, now, now.

Why would Wolf demand that the senators on the committee testify on his behalf in court? Maybe he's not lying. Maybe he thought he was authorized or maybe his defense is going to be, however honest or disingenuous, maybe his defense is going to be, Joe, because there's no other reason to call them up there. They told me to leak the information to the press.

In other words, this spying network and leaking operation to the media to damage the Trump team. Remember, the media's got a significant role not in the actual spying network and leaking operation to the media to damage the trump team remember the media's got a significant role in the not in the actual spying they don't have the ability to weaponize government but they certainly have the information to weaponize the propaganda machine you get where i'm going with this yeah you're dark howard even howard dean has an opinion obama team spies disseminates the information widely up on the Hill.

Evelyn Farkas even admitted to it on MSNBC. The Hill people leak it to the media. The media put out the anti-Trump propaganda. They have the ultimate bullhorn. I find it awfully odd that a staffer on the Senate committee responsible for handling that information is calling the senators as witnesses on his behalf that he didn't lie. Not that he didn't leak. Not that somebody's being charged with.

Right. That he didn't lie. Brilliant. Did they tell him to do this? Is this guy getting ready to burn this whole house down? One more thing. Here's a quote from chuck ross's piece at the caller remember dan jones again is a former staffer on that committee as well feinstein here's a text he sends uh he says he says hey dan jones here from the democracy

integrity project uh chris steel wanted us to connect he wrote seemingly referring to steel at a meeting two days later waldman said that jones told him that he was working this is i'll get up i'll explain this in a second waldman said that jones told him he was working with steel and fusion gps that their project was being funded by soros and a group of silicon valley billionaires. This is just incredible. So Dan Jones is texting Adam Waldman, a lawyer working with Christopher Steele and a Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, who I told you has some very suspicious ties

to people involved in this case and the production of information from Russia, right? So Jones is texting the lawyer for that guy and the lawyer for Steele suggesting that they should meet. And he says two days later, Jones admits that he's working with Steele and Fusion GPS. So he's working with the guy who fabricated the collusion nonsense and Fusion GPS and that their project's being funded by Soros. Folks, again, this isn't about boogeymen and conspiracy theories. It's about you and I reasonably and factually evaluating a series of publicly available information at this point, in my case, based on some source in the back, some of this up in the

background, and evaluating it as common sense human beings. It's clear as day right now that this project by Dan Jones was a project to keep the dossier delusion. He's working with Steele. He says it in the text. He's recommending, he's texting Waldman, hey, Waldman, we should meet. Steele said so. And that the project is being funded by very wealthy left-wingers who understand that once the myth that obama was a good guy and he was in for good government although government's a positive force in your life once that myth gets destroyed by exposing this massive spying scandal the weaponization of the hill the weaponization of hill staffers the weaponization of the obama white house and the intelligence community the weaponization of Hill staffers, the weaponization of the Obama White House and the intelligence community,

the weaponization of the media to propagandize and put out negative political opposition research as a massive bullhorn. Once this gets exposed, the Democrat Party is going to be, they're going to take decades to recover from this. That's the reason they're so desperate to keep this collusion fairy tale alive and well, folks. There it is.

Bingo. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. All right. Listen, today's There it is. Bingo. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. All right. Listen, today's going to be a big day.
