Starting point is 00:00:01 The Dan Bongino Show. Get ready to hear the truth about America with your host, Dan Bongino. Alright, welcome to the Dan Bongino Show. Producer Joe, how are you today, my good friend and ally? I'm doing quite well, sir. Glad you asked. Good. Yes, I know you're doing quite well. That is excellent. Yes. Sorry, that was a little low. I walked away from the mic a bit because I have so much to talk about today. I kid you not. The Joe sent me a bevy of sound cuts and I said, can't do it.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Can't do it, daddy-o, because I've got about 65,000 things to get through. In addition to a major, major U-turn in the Bob Mueller probe. I told you this was, I told you if you've been listening to this show for a year now, what I told you seven months ago, six months ago, I don't know, maybe audience archivist Judy can figure out. The show, I went into the
Starting point is 00:00:55 George Nader connection, how Mueller was going to move away from Russian collusion because it didn't happen, and he was eventually going to move on to who, Joe? The fixer. The Obama fixer is back. Back. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Again. The fixer's back. You're not going to want to move from your stereo speakers or headphones for this show. Let's get into it.

Starting point is 00:02:41 That's FilterBuy.com, FilterBuy.com, FilterBuy.com. Tell them Dan Bongino sent you and Joey Bagadona. That's filterby.com, filterby.com, filterby.com. Tell them Dan Bongino sent you and Joey Bagadona. That's why you're at it. Filterby.com. All right, folks. I had a whole show lined out and all of a sudden I get a email from, let's just say a friend and uh that friend says the switch has begun what do i mean folks uh bob i was like this it's not a it's not a mystery to anybody that bob muller's probe into uh russian collusion has entirely fallen apart because there is no russian collusion we know that okay point stipulated can we move on there is none um he can't fabricate it for as hard as he is trying.
Starting point is 00:03:27 They can't make collusion happen. Fetch is never going to happen, and either is Russian collusion, because you can't reinvent the past. Having said that, Bob Mueller can't stand Donald Trump, can't stand anybody on his team. So they've had to invent crimes, such as what happened to Mike Flynn. I'll get to that, in a minute too, where they accused him of lying to the FBI despite the two FBI agents that interviewed him saying he wasn't being deceptive. Fascinating how that happens. So in the invention of new crimes and scandals, Joe,
Starting point is 00:03:53 do you remember the show we did about seven months ago where we pointed out an anomaly in the case, something quite fascinating in this circle of deceit and this web of connections between people in the Obama administration and people trying to take out the Trump team, how this appearance of the Obama fixer was always interesting. Who was the Obama fixer? Catherine Rumler.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Obama's White House lawyer. Just Google Catherine Rumler, the fixer. You know, they love to call Michael Cohen Trump's fixer, right? Well, Obama had a fixer in the White House too. It was his lawyer, Catherine Rumler. Catherine Rumler has been intimately involved in the, air quotes here, Joe, fixing of all kinds of Obama scandals, that Secret Service scandal that happened, Benghazi, the IRS scandal. Obama's key player and fixer in this was his lawyer, Catherine Rumler.
Starting point is 00:04:47 When Obama has a problem, Catherine Rumler fixes it. What was that commercial? When you got a problem, I forget what it was. If you've got a phone, you've got a fixer. You've got a, that's right. And if you've got Obama, you've got Catherine Rumler. That's your fixer. He brings up the bad phone, Rumler's on the other end.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Can I help you uh commissioner gordon yes i need this problem fixed well what was the problem that had to be fixed afterwards the problem that have to be fixed afterwards is they lost the election they had to take trump down so they had to fabricate a crime clearly the russian collusion thing didn't happen it's falling apart so there was always going to be a u-turn towards something else. That U-turn towards something else has started to materialize. It apparently is going to be two things right now, which one I already discussed, so I'm not going to harp on too much, which is the alleged campaign finance violations, which I've discussed for two days now.
Starting point is 00:05:36 You can listen to yesterday's show by the Trump team, which are BS. They're not in fact campaign donations at all. It's a fabricated, made-up case. So we can forget that. but that's not good enough get i'm getting some traffic here that what we talked about months ago is starting to materialize and that is the george nader connection whoa this story is just peachy i called this in my notes show the flipperoo the flipperoo is coming now it's not going to be russian collusion anymore because that didn't happen. It's going to be Middle Eastern collusion.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Wow. Middle Eastern collusion. That sounds bad, too, doesn't it? Yeah. Keep in mind, Middle Eastern collusion emanating from Democrats who supported a deal to give the Iranians billions of dollars and pallets full of cash as well. So let's forget that for a minute. You know, the Persia, you know, Middle East connection. Let's not get into any of that.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Let's leave that all behind for a minute. Right. Because that was the Obama administration's thing. Yeah. Their connection to Iran. Let's leave that all behind but the fixer is creeping up again who was now i'm hearing a rumor now and it's a good one that he's making a u-turn and he's going to cover this middle eastern connection and his his source in this case is no uh george nader george nader uh according to multiple reports was one of the guys who set up he has been involved with politicians for
Starting point is 00:07:12 democrats and republican administrations forever he's one of these guys that just has connections and connects people nobody really knows what they do how they do it they just do it and they connect people i had said to you a while ago that I found it awfully strange that George Nader is cooperating with the Mueller probe, Joe. He's one of their key witnesses. He's their guy. He is their deep throat in the case.
Starting point is 00:07:34 And his lawyer is the fixer, Catherine Rumler. How about that? How about that? How about that? No one finds that even a little bit coincidental that Obama's
Starting point is 00:07:47 key legal fixer is the lawyer for Bob Mueller's main cooperator and now what's going to be his main charge which is going to be Middle Eastern collusion and the collusion I'm using air quotes again although I hate them the collusion
Starting point is 00:08:03 he's going to allege Mueller. I'm so glad we were on this early because you're all prepared. It's going to be that Nader set up meetings with people who were going to wait for it, Joe, wait for it. Had social media companies that they could use to maybe help influence votes. Oh, really? Yes. Yeah, that's it. No, that's a charge. Now, keep in mind, let me just explain to you what's going on here. There's a guy named Joel Zammel, and you can Google his name and read multiple press reports about him. And the allegation is that he had a company that uh keep in mind there's no
Starting point is 00:08:45 there's no indication or allegation that what the company he owned did is illegal we clear on this joe the social media influencing company there's no allegations there at all that that's illegal okay the only allegation is that there was maybe some foreign money involved in this company that had pitched some kind of an election proposal to the Trump team to use social media to basically get out the Trump vote. So you may say, I don't get it. What's the crime? Well, nobody else gets it either. That's why George Nader's in the picture, right? Because they got the Obama fixer here, because they're trying to fabricate crimes by selectively, it seems, leaking this stuff to the public, you know, to the public domain to get the media to pick up.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Oh, my gosh. Middle Eastern money helped influence the election. No, that's not what happened. The proposed plan from this guy, Joe, according to multiple sources, Zammel, didn't happen. They never accepted the offer. Keep in mind, there's no allegations that this business arrangement would have been illegal anyway. no allegations that this business arrangement would have been illegal anyway. It was the hiring of a company to use social media to get out the vote. It is illegal for foreigners to donate to U.S. elections.
Starting point is 00:10:01 It's not illegal for a presidential campaign to seek out social media companies to help get out the vote. But the fact that this guy uh zamal they're alleging has all they're alleging i'm not has these shady ties is going to be muller's new direct folks you heard it here first the russian collusion's dead we'll put in it's bury that coffin it's dead there's they're gonna this is going to end quickly the new focus which isn't new by the way it's only new for the media idiots who haven't been following this case for a long time, Joe. The new focus of this Mueller probe is going to be collusion, but it was Middle Eastern. People tried to influence the election. What, through tweets?
Starting point is 00:10:39 What do you, I don't understand. Through business deals that never happened with the Trump campaign? How exactly is that? And I find it awfully ironic that according to multiple reports out there, and according to some good sourcing that we've got our mitts on, I find it awfully ironic that the central figure at these meetings, again, suspiciously, is someone connected to the Obama orbit. Remember, nearly every single meeting that the Russian collusion narrative was based on was a meeting between someone connected to the Trump team and some shady figure that eventually ties to the Democrats or the Obama administration.
Starting point is 00:11:24 You tell me the meeting, we'll tie it back to the Trump team. The Trump Tower meeting, the Russian lawyer who worked for the company who was with Hillary, Fusion GPS, the Russian intel guy that shows up at the Trump Tower meeting whose lawyer, the lawyer's wife, was a Clinton staffer, and he claims to know people in the Clinton Foundation and the staff. They're all connected. All of these meetings, this was a setup.
Starting point is 00:11:51 All of these meetings with the Trump team, it is clear as day. I document this out line by line in my book. All of these people are connected to the Clinton space or the Clinton dossier or people producing negative information for the Clintons. Now we see it again. So we clear on this? The collusion narrative was fake. This narrative is fake too. But the collusion narrative has now run its course because Trump's not impeached yet or hasn't resigned yet. So now they have to move on to narrative number two. Actually, it's narrative number 2,672. but campaign finance, which is going to die soon too, because it's a loser case. The government already lost that case in court against Sean
Starting point is 00:12:29 Edwards. That case is going nowhere, but now they're building Mueller. What it appears is another case. The case now is we didn't get Russian collusion. So now let's lie and make up Middle Eastern collusion. That Middle Eastern money, Joe, Middle Eastern money was being used to influence the election. Watch, watch. I'll tell you who's a big conspiracy theorist promoting this. I mention his name a lot because unbelievably, this lunatic has a following on Twitter. It's this guy, Seth Abramson.
Starting point is 00:12:57 It's bizarre that people follow this guy. He says stuff that is so insane, but he is one of the lead proponents of this this this this ridiculous nonsensical story of now middle eastern collusion you're a loser big time big time daddy yo this is going to be where they go with this now here's what's really, again, what's fascinating about this. The collusion set up where Trump team people, I believe, were absolutely set up by Intel folks with allegiance to the Obama administration. And these meetings that they set up, whether it was with Don Jr., they were all used to paint a picture. Look, Trump's meeting with these shady figures. These shady figures are connected to you idiots in the Democrat party. Yeah, but he met with shady figures. Therefore,
Starting point is 00:13:48 he colluded. The same exact template right now is going to be used for the Middle Eastern collusion. It is just going to be the story is going to be rewritten. Russia is going to be blanked out. The Middle East is going to be filled in. This time, again, the central player in these meetings, and you can google this guy's name yourself all of the meetings they're looking at whether they're meetings between uh flynn and others uh and about this social media company or campaign people on on the trump team and the social media company all of these meetings the central key player in this and the guy who's there is Nader, who is now cooperating with Mueller, who is represented astonishingly by Obama's fixture.
Starting point is 00:14:32 When is anyone in the media going to do just a mild bit of entrepreneurial reporting and look at the connections here? Don't they find this a little bit interesting? And another one of the meetings you're looking at which i described back in that show i don't know six months ago or something another one of the meetings you're looking at is a meeting in the seychelles between eric prince and uh karil dimitriev who ran a russian direct investment fund in that meeting again who was one of the uh the fixers in that meeting allegedly you set this thing up nader who again what's fascinating about that that eric prince who is uh trump's education secretary betsy devos it's his it's uh excuse me it's her brother
Starting point is 00:15:19 eric prince was the uh owner of was uh the ceo of blackwater one time eric prince meets with this guy in the seychelles one of muller's original arguments and why he was looking at this or the muller team what they were looking into was oh this must have been russian collusion because a guy connected to a woman in the trump administration met with a russian in the Seychelles. Again, here's the problem, Joe. The Russian they met with, the Russian Direct Investment Fund, had a bunch of, let's say, loyalists and supporters
Starting point is 00:15:56 who were Clinton Foundation people. They were bundlers, Clinton bundlers. The ironies. Who knew the... Folks, every single time you turn over a rock, you find someone connected to the Clintons, this person meets them with the Trump team, and although the person's connected to the Clintons,
Starting point is 00:16:16 it's used shockingly as evidence that the Trump team is corrupt. You're now seeing this... Now, the reason I bring up that meeting in the Seychelles between Prince and the Russian is that creates the segue into the middle east collusion how they need some kind of a conduit they need to connect the two for a foreign influence narrative what is the common thread joe between the russian collusion investigation and the middle Eastern collusion investigation, which is about to materialize. The connection's Nader.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Nader was at the Eric Prince meeting with Kirill Dmitryev. By the way, which according to Prince is entirely innocuous. Nader was at that meeting and Nader was also at the meeting with the social media executive trying to sell that platform to the trump team that apparently they didn't take nader is the connection to all
Starting point is 00:17:12 of this and nader's lawyer is obama's fixer the master nader you know again i i it's it's it's a shame that people like me and others out there, you know, Lee Smith and others doing good work on this, you know, Jeff Carlson. It's really a shame that we're the ones that have to expose this on Twitter and people in what we used to believe were legacy media because they're not media, they're tabloid outlets, can't just do even basic homework. Like, is anybody asking that question? Like, how that business relationship came about? How did Obama's fixer who cleans up all his messes managed to find the key source for Bob Mueller in his foreign collusion probe, a key source that bridges the false Russian collusion tale to the false middle Middle Eastern collusion tale? How did those two connect? tale to the false middle middle eastern collusion tale how did those two connect why is it that every single person that they meet with or fixes a meeting with the trump team
Starting point is 00:18:12 has some connection to obama or hillary the flipper ruski it's coming folks all right i got a lot more to get to uh including clinton foundation stuff mike flynn uh a great piece by margo Cleveland and the Federalists I want to talk about.

Starting point is 00:20:59 Speaking of Mike Flynn. My man. Just to sum that up quick, because I like to keep the show somewhat linear and move from one topic to the next. Topic one was this. The shift is about to happen. Russian collusion is dead. It's going to be now foreign collusion with a Middle Eastern tinge. The bridge to both was Nader. Nader is clearly a key witness for Mueller, according to multiple reports. We reported this six, seven months ago. Nader's lawyer is the Obama fixer. Nothing to see here at all, folks. The fixer is fixing it again secondly
Starting point is 00:21:26 second story of the day margo cleveland has a wonderful piece in the federalist it is in the show notes i strongly strongly encourage you to read it uh let me just fight i screenshot everything here uh because i it's so important okay here we go so margo cleveland writes about these 302s now yesterday i had put out there that what's what's really odd about the mike flynn case joe uh lieutenant general mike flynn with respect to his title uh matters but in the interest of brevity sorry he don't mean to include that every time he earned this title but lieutenant general mike flynn was interviewed by the fbi in january at the white house as the incoming national security advisor, as the national security advisor.
Starting point is 00:22:11 He's interviewed at the White House by these two FBI agents about this transcript of his conversation as the incoming national security advisor when Trump was president-elect. The FBI clearly has an agenda against him. As we spoke about yesterday, they encouraged Flynn, even though this meeting is of critical importance allegedly to them. Again, what Flynn did wasn't illegal. Talking to the Russian ambassadors, the incoming national security advisor is not only not illegal, it would be derelict for him not to do it. They're only going to take over the government in a few weeks, right? Two things happen. First, the FBI, Andy McCabe recommends Flynn doesn't have a lawyer present,
Starting point is 00:22:41 which is outrageous. This is clearly a setup given an interview of this importance. Not illegal. I want to be clear. That's not illegal. I'm not going to do the fake news like the left. The FBI is under no obligation to tell you to get a lawyer. But one would think, Joe, one would think in a case of this significance that you would, in fact, recommend that giving that your Trump, right? Wouldn't you think?
Starting point is 00:23:04 I mean, yeah, absolutely. I't you think? Yeah, absolutely. I'm not making this up, folks. Again, I'm just telling you when I was involved with the Secret Service in high-end cases that had media attention and things like that, it would likely be recommended by a United States attorney
Starting point is 00:23:18 that at some point we get a lawyer involved, we start a proffer session. If there's interest in cooperation, get a cooperation agreement on paper. It's probably the best way to go. Now, I have some evidence of that, this being the best way, especially given the political implications of interviewing Mike Flynn at the White House. I have some evidence of this in a second, but there was another point I addressed yesterday too, which is they didn't warn him about the false statements charge. They didn't. And they said because they wanted to keep him in a relaxed mood, meaning they wanted
Starting point is 00:23:46 to get him to talk and get him to implicate himself by tripping over his own words, which is clearly a perjury trap at some point. Now, Joe, regarding statement number one, some things I uncovered from the Wall Street Journal today. Interesting pickup. Comey appears on MSNBC this past weekend. I missed this yesterday in the show. And showing you that I'm right, Joe,
Starting point is 00:24:07 that with a case with such severe political implications, interviewing Lieutenant General Mike Flynn, the National Security Advisor, at the White House over a case of ridiculous, fabricated, made-up Russian collusion, you damn well should have had the White House counsel present.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Here is Jim Comey on MSNBC. This is a quote. Comey says, you know, regarding, by the way, sending two FBI agents to the White House without having Flynn have an attorney. He says, it's something I probably wouldn't have done or wouldn't have gotten away with in a more organized administration. have gotten away with in a more organized administration. Jimbo, this guy is so unbelievably unethical. It's amazing to me people still treat this guy like a Boy Scout. Jim Comey is slime. This guy is so sleazy. Folks, this is a quote. It's in the Wall Street Journal. I'm not making this up. Jim Comey, sending the FBI just to interview Flynn without a lawyer present. I wouldn't have something I wouldn't have done. Why wouldn't have you done it? Oh, because it's unethical or I wouldn't have gotten away with in a more organized administration.
Starting point is 00:25:16 So Comey does two things here, folks. He admits he's a sleazeball and he takes a shot at Donald Trump by insinuating that his administration isn't organized. Folks, I have been through presidential transitions literally in the White House. I'm not patting myself on the back. I'm not trying to impress you. You all work hard. You have important jobs. My job as a Secret Service agent was simple.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Make sure the president doesn't die on your watch, right? Right. You sit around the White House. It's a job can be boring at times. But folks, you're there in the suck every single day. I say in the suck because it's very chaotic every day at the White House. Every incoming administration is chaotic. Everyone. I watched the Bush-Obama transition. People not being able in the Obama White House to even find out where the pens were. Is there a supply closet? It's not a knock on the Obama team.
Starting point is 00:26:07 It's just it's a new office, a new job. People don't know what to do. They have to figure it out. So Comey here, a more organized administration. He's trying to take a shot at Trump while simultaneously acknowledging what a sleazebag he is, saying he would not have done this if it was another administration. In other words, have these bureau agents show up, interview this guy without an attorney present. Folks, Comey's a sleazebag. He is not a good guy.
Starting point is 00:26:40 He is appearing to come off these days like a pathological liar. His testimony in front of Congress about not knowing, don't know i don't know this i don't know how a ci investigation begins um i don't know where the dossier came from i hadn't heard of christopher steel the guy has to be a liar or he's stupid there's no third option i bring this up because cleveland margo cleveland has an interesting let me quote from it she talks about yesterday i brought up the fact that the summary the fbi is has paperwork called uh i believe it's a three it's a 302 and i think it's an fd 302 but it's definitely a 302 that is the numerical designation for their paperwork, which summarizes the results of their interviews. Again, the Secret Service, we call them memorandums. They call them 302s. So what's fascinating about this is they interview Flynn Joe in January, as I said yesterday,
Starting point is 00:27:37 but the 302 is not filled out till August 22nd of 2017. Now, there's two components to this I want you to pay attention to. Bureau interviews Flynn, does it without a lawyer. Comey realizes it's unethical. He now admits it. They don't say anything about false statements because they want to set them up. They go in there with the transcript of an unmasked phone call. They don't fill out the summary
Starting point is 00:28:05 of the interview till August 22nd, 2017. Why is this timing so suspicious? Let me read to you from the piece. The August 22nd, 2017 date is a quote, striking detail because that puts the 302 report nearly seven months after the Flynn interview. When added to the facts already known, this revelation takes on much greater significance. Ah, ah, this gets good. This gets good.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Turn up the volume. Don't miss this. First, again, this is Margo Cleveland's piece in the Federalist in the show notes today. First, text messages between Peter Stroke, who was the, one of the, him and Joe Bianca are the agents who interview Flynn, folk. First, text messages between Peter Stroke
Starting point is 00:28:44 and former FBI attorney Lisa Page indicate that Stroke wrote his notes from the Flynn interview shortly after he questioned the National Security Advisor on January 24, 2017. Specifically, on February 14, 2017, Stroke texts Page,
Starting point is 00:29:03 quote, also, is Andy, referring to andy mccabe good with f f 302 page responded quote launch on f 302 given strokes role in the questioning of flynn the date three weeks from the actual interview the the notation, quote, F302, and Page's position as special counsel to Andrew McCabe, it seems extremely likely that these text exchanges concerned in a February 2017 302 summary of the Flynn interview. Why does this matter? It's highly likely they're texts back and forth just three weeks after this the 302 is
Starting point is 00:29:46 clearly in front of andy mccabe because his lawyer lisa page fbi lawyer andy mccabe's lawyers working with him tells stroke to launch on the f302 it seems highly likely at this point joe in other words that they wrote up a summary are you tracking me? Yeah. Of the interview with Mike Flynn only three weeks after they interviewed him in January. So why is it dated August 22nd? Margo Cleveland goes on.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Really, really good work here. Sharp. Quote, President Trump fired Comey on May 9, 2017. So the 302 of the Flynn interview Comey read must have been written before then. Why then was a new 302 drafted on August 22, 2017 and by whom? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Inquiring minds want to know. I go on. The timing of the rewrite shortly after then fbi agent peter stroke was removed from bob muller's team after his anti-trump text messages came to light raises the possibility that muller wanted to scrub the evidence of Peter Stroke's taint. That could be read the wrong way, too. Yes, it could. I'm just quoting here, folks. I saw that look. All right, then. Having the second agent involved in questioning Flynn
Starting point is 00:31:18 draft a new 302 summary would eliminate attacks premised on Stroke strokes bias against the president. You see where she's going with this? This is really, really great work. She says the reason there may be what clearly looks to be a quote revised 302 here seven months after the interview is probably a couple of reasons i'm going to give you some stuff based on some sources i have to um amargo did this great work i wouldn't have read it otherwise i think there's one thing she's off on though there's a couple things going on here after comey is fired there becomes this pressing interest in the FBI to politically take Trump out.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Now, the FBI are not elected officials. They can't impeach him, but they certainly want to contribute to an information, a stream of information fed to the media to be able to be used in an impeachment proceeding later. They also need a special counsel appointed after Comey's fired. So the suggestion here, I believe she's accurate on this, is after Comey is fired, they uncover these text messages by Stroke to his girlfriend saying how much he hates Donald Trump. Stroke's the guy who interviews Flynn. They've got to clean this mess up. Stroke is likely a signator at some point to that 302, that initial 302, indicating that Flynn wasn't deceptive and probably was relatively milquetoast that 302. Now they need a new one because they've got to take out Mike Flynn.
Starting point is 00:32:57 They need a scalp in the Trump administration and they need to shut Flynn up. Remember, Flynn was a big proponent of scrapping this Iran deal. Folks, then they go back and it appears they revised the 302. We know they revised the 302 because there's an August 22nd, 2017 revision months afterwards. Why the revisions? Why is this story today you may say why are you bringing this up again today you discussed this yesterday because there's been a major break wait one thing where i'm sorry where i think cleveland is wrong i don't want to margaret
Starting point is 00:33:32 cleveland where i think she's a little wrong um the other agent in the room joe pianca who interviews mike flynn with peter stroke i don't believe joe Bianca is a bad guy in this. Folks, you ask me a lot, fairly enough, I get these questions on Facebook and my email. You can always contact us, go to the website, my email's there. They say, Dan, why do you defend rank and file agents? Why aren't they speaking out? I think some of them are i'm just telling you i don't think pianca is a bad guy in this i think pianca the other guy in the room when he talks if he talks is going to expose this entire thing and i wouldn't be surprised if people are working on that right now i'm simply trying to say to you folks not everybody who was joe do you see where i'm going with this yeah not everybody who was involved in
Starting point is 00:34:28 this is okay with what happened and i believe strongly that there are people who are working behind the scenes to make the truth come out i get it being patient with its heart i totally understand me too but i'm not so sure that pianca would have been a co-conspirator and maliciously revised the 302 i i'm not so sure that and folks this show what is it december is it the 13th yes it is oh wow it's my mom's birthday today mom happy birthday i woke up this morning she doesn't get up till late um it is now December 13th. Mark this show. I think when Bianca speaks out,
Starting point is 00:35:09 you are going to find a whole different version of events. I think the 302 was revised. Don't get me wrong. But I don't think Bianca is the bad guy in it. More on that later. I think that's why the grand jury investigation, a lot of other stuff into Andy McCabe is coming about. You tracking?
Starting point is 00:35:28 You hearing me on this? Yeah, we're good. It's important you understand. Right. Now, why is this a story today? I got to go back to all my stuff here. Judge Emmett Sullivan, who is looking into this case, the Flynn case.
Starting point is 00:35:47 Sorry, folks. I'm just looking for something. I can't find it. It's all right. I usually take screenshots, but sometimes I forget what I screenshot and what I don't, what I print up. Judge Emmett Sullivan, who is looking into this case. He's responsible for the Mike Flynn sentencing, right?
Starting point is 00:36:01 Yesterday, he put out an edict. This was huge news. i have another story up at the show notes today pangino.com demanding what joe all revisions to the 302s and any memorandum andy mccabe wrote after the mike flynn interview okie do Folks, this is getting ugly for the FBI. This is getting really ugly. A federal judge, understand this, now responsible for the sentencing of Mike Flynn. A federal judge, Emmett Sullivan, by the way,
Starting point is 00:36:36 who has a history of calling the government on the carpet. Remember the Ted Stevens case where the government, the case was eventually tossed for all kinds of government malfeasance and exculpatory information that was not revealed that was emmet sullivan emmet sullivan before the sentencing has now demanded that these 302 show up ladies and gentlemen god forbid there are internal memorandum or emails from Andy McCabe indicating they knew Flynn was being honest in that interview. And they manipulated official FBI paperwork seven months later after Comey was fired to impugn the character of Mike Flynn to rope him in on a Russian collusion scandal. And they changed official FBI documents.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Did that happen? Shall soon see. Not only did he put it in there, Joe, the judge that he's demanding now, all the 302s. Yeah. All, not just the August 22nd one. But I love it.
Starting point is 00:37:41 When I was in the Secret Service Academy, if you screwed something up, you know, there were SATC, Special Agent Training classes. And I forget what I was in. Gosh, I can't. That's so bad. I think it was 177.
Starting point is 00:37:55 If you screwed something up, they'd be like, gentlemen, ladies out here, forthwith, forthwith, every time. That meant like move your caboose immediately. You knew you screwed something up. You just knew it. Judge Emmett Sullivan says, Emmett Sullivan, I want this fort with.
Starting point is 00:38:16 He wants this yesterday. Stat. Which tells me this guy is pissed. Furious. Not pissed, furious. Not good, folks. Not good for Mueller, the prosecution team, but very good for Mike Flynn. I think these guys are in a world of trouble right now,
Starting point is 00:38:40 the Mueller team. Again, things are happening. I wish they were happening faster. I wish I could tell you I was totally impressed with the speed of the uncovering of the corruption in the Spygate scandal. I'm not. It's been horrendous. It's been glacial. Some people may still get off, but some things are happening. And you don't need to smile about it because there's nothing to really smile about when it comes to government corruption but at least take a little small bit of solace that i'm sure there are at least a few good actors left in the government i'm sure when pianca comes out tell the story it is not going to be good for stroke the muller team or anyone else involved in this that's why i've been insistent from the start
Starting point is 00:39:18 that there are three-letter agency people who i'm convinced are going to suffer heavy legal consequences for what they did. Okay. I got the Clinton Foundation. I mean, so much going on, man. We got this Clinton Foundation whistleblower talking. It's like the news cycle. You can't stay ahead of it. Right. It's incredible.

Starting point is 00:41:57 little joe loves it right yeah and he's not little joe anymore no he was all right then again of news cycle today that's uh it's just explosive so there is a there are three three not one not two but three clinton foundation whistleblowers scheduled to testify up on capitol hill i have a uh a show note uh uh up in the show notes today from bongino.com a well-done story i want want to hat tip Lauren at my website, by the way, for pumping out unbelievable articles at Bongino.com. Her and Matt Palumbo have been knocking it out of the park. But folks, some of the things that may come up from these three Clinton Foundation whistleblowers, I think the time's up for the Clinton Foundation.
Starting point is 00:42:39 I really do. I am convinced somebody within the Clinton Foundation is going to suffer some severe criminal potential penalties on this stuff because there is just so much going on. Here are some of the things. This is all in the show notes today in my article that may come up in this hearing about the Clinton Foundation. Number one, the foundation hid a $2.35 million foreign donation from the head of the Russian government's uranium company that had business before Hillary Clinton's State Department. A clear violation of the Memorandum of Understanding with the Obama administration
Starting point is 00:43:13 that they couldn't commingle this stuff. Bill Clinton bagged $500K for a speech in Moscow, paid for a Kremlin-linked bank. The same bank, by the way, that spoke positively about the uranium one deal hillary's brother sits on the board of a mining company that scored an extremely rare quote gold exploitation permit in haiti as hillary and bill clinton dispersed billions of u.s taxpayer dollars in haiti no conflict there daddy oh don't you worry hillary's approval and you know what let me reword this one a little bit hillary they didn't they don't approve they can only disapprove hillary's failure i should say
Starting point is 00:43:51 to disapprove of the russian takeover of uranium one which transferred 20 of all u.s uranium to russian controlled uh russian government control companies one more at least 26 million of the clinton's wealth comes from speaking fees by companies and organizations that are also major clinton foundation donors folks we are going to see some hopefully explosive revelations coming out today uh explosive revelations about the clinton foundation there are three up on the hill. I will update you tomorrow. Thankfully, we have a show tomorrow. If it was the weekend, I'd probably have to do a special. Forgive me for piling this all into one show, but folks, you are generous enough to give me and Joe an hour of your time every day in this volitional act of downloading our show. It means
Starting point is 00:44:41 the world to us, and I got to get this all in. So, okay, just to backtrack, Mueller's about to make a flip, flip to foreign collusion from Russian collusion. The new collusion is going to be an emphasis on the Middle East. The connection between both cases is George Nader. Nader's lawyer is Obama's fixer. Fascinating.
Starting point is 00:45:00 Number two, the Flynn 302s, Judge Emmett Sullivan now demanding all the 302s. We're going to find out shortly the differences between the amended 302 seven months later regarding the Flynn interview and the initial one. And let me tell you something, those amendments better not be substantive. They better be like, well, we forgot to put a period here and we didn't cross this T. If those amendments are initial 302 mike flynn was honest amended 302 mike flynn lied we got a problem and the clinton foundation today these
Starting point is 00:45:33 whistleblowers are i believe getting ready to blow the stack okay uh great story i have a little bit about you know let me just cover the meme winner by the way uh meme winner for today, Dan Bongino meme contest. Dan Bongino meme. Hey, Paula, you out there? Hold on. I'm going to text my wife to come in here a second. Stand by one second, folks. We're going to do this on the air. Paula Bongino.

I want her to come in here because we were thinking about doing something different for the meme contest tomorrow. The meme contest winner for today is Mikey R, who put it on Facebook. It's hysterical. I will put the meme up at my Instagram, at the Bongino on Instagram on the verified account.

What are we doing for tomorrow? Are we doing that vote on it? Are we going to do a poll for the last one? Yeah.

So we're going to do a contest on the website okay how is it gonna work we're gonna put all we're gonna put a bunch of memes we select up right four memes up okay so paula's gonna pick four memes and we're gonna let the

Starting point is 00:47:50 it appear nice yeah we love it okay another great story up on gino.com today this one's listen i don't usually cover fluffy stuff on the show because i don't want to waste your time but this is not a waste of time because it's just, again, speaks back to what I said yesterday, how Trump is UFC one. Nobody knows what to expect going in the ring. These guys got smoked by Hoist Gracie because they never knew what to expect. Nobody can predict Trump ever. And I thought, even though this story is a little fluffy, it's funny. What did Trump do? When I was a secret service agent back in the day joe there's a just endless list of white house christmas parties so i gotta give you some background on this first all right when someone tells you they've been invited to the white house christmas party that's not exactly
Starting point is 00:48:37 accurate joe there are many i'm not playing the euphemisms game or trying to pick nits here but there are many White House Christmas parties, many. The number and amount and format has changed. I've been to many of them. I think I've been to four, maybe more. I'm not even sure. But the format changes. And the way it works is there's typically a party for the Secret Service. I believe there was a party for military. There's a party for the press. Then there's a party for the press then there's a party for the staff and now that's changed the Obama administration at one point
Starting point is 00:49:10 changed the format of the Secret Service Party we used to have two Secret Service Parties why because some guys are working so I'm not knocking you I'm not please don't take this the wrong way I don't like Obama's policies I'm not trying to be petty about that I mean it but Obama's policies. I'm not trying to be petty about that.
Starting point is 00:49:25 I mean it. But Obama's team canceled the second Christmas party one year, which I know a couple of guys were like offended about. But I'm not. I'm really I'm not trying to be petty. People cancel stuff all the time. Well, what did Trump cancel this year? Take it.
Starting point is 00:49:39 Joe, I mean, let me. You do not know the story, correct? I'm going to give you a multiple choice. OK, so the Christmas parties that they typically have are, they have staff, secret service, and press. Whose Christmas party do you think Trump canceled this year? Just take a stab at it. The press party.
Starting point is 00:50:01 Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. I love this guy I love it that's why listen I wasn't being petty with Obama he cancelled the Christmas party for the secret service the second one not the first one but he came down he shook hands whatever do your thing
Starting point is 00:50:14 but Trump's like nah we're not doing this press Christmas party this guy he doesn't I love fighters I love it I have this thing with fighters I just eat it. It is no secret that I am volcanic at times. I just enjoy people who fight.
Starting point is 00:50:34 Even people who fight against me. I quietly respect it as long as they tell the truth. But gosh, this guy takes absolutely no guff from anyone. He's like, yeah, that's off. We're not doing the press Christmas party. I love it. And it's, you know why it's, here's the deal. Here's why this matters.
Starting point is 00:50:55 When you go to the Christmas party, I went to the one with Obama. I have a family picture with him. You, you, you said, you said on a photo line, it's actually quite tedious for the president. At the time I did one with Obama and a couple with Bush, I believe. You sit on the photo line with your family and you walk in and the White House military office is pretty strict about it.
Starting point is 00:51:15 They're like, hey, basically no talking. The president's out of time. There's 200 people on the line. Just go. You're not rude about it, but you know what I'm saying, Joe? It's quick. You sit on this photo line. You go to i believe the dip room the diplomatic reception
Starting point is 00:51:29 reception room you basically stand in the footprints no talking quick greeting get the hell out of there right but it's a big honor right and i'm sorry but i you know i did i to me it was the office of the presidency i don't have obama's Christmas photo displayed in my house anywhere, but I have it. I'm not going to burn it. He's the president. I didn't agree with the guy, but he's the president. I tell you that not to waste your time on the show, but because I know a lot of members of the press, the liberal press. I'm not knocking the Fox people.
Starting point is 00:51:58 They're really good. They're the only fair ones out there. But I know for a fact the liberal press that hates donald trump loved taking those pictures i know it because i used to see them with bush one day they write an article bush the worst it's the nazis the anti-gay the next day they'd be in the picture with smiling with their kids because it's history you may not like trump like i wasn't a big fan of obama but it's history you were part of something Even if it was something you didn't like, you were part of it. This is going to eat the press up. Listen to me. Mark my words. This will eat them up. It may seem
Starting point is 00:52:37 petty. It may seem like a non-story. It isn't. They will hate this because you know what? They get to bring guests just like I did. And some of their guests are pro-Trump people. And now these press people are like, oh man, I was going to bring my aunt. Now I can't go. Yeah, you can't go. Sorry. Good. Good for you. Cancel that. Nice. Throw an extra party for the Secret Service and the military guys and your hardworking staff, which he will because Trump's a good guy. Yeah. Nice. I love this guy. Read the story in my show notes today. It's fantastic. All right. Last story of the day. It's an important one. I've been off my economic bent for a while, but this is critical. Folks, there is so much BS out there about these tax cuts. It's staggeringly hard to just follow all of it. The stupidity is just endless. So this morning I made the mistake of reading an article in Bloomberg
Starting point is 00:53:31 about the tax cuts. Here's the long and short of it. The Democrats are desperate to paint the economy as doing poorly when it's not. The numbers speak for themselves. We hit 4.2% growth in a quarter last year. It looks like we're going to hit 3% growth for the year. Obama never did that in the history of his office. Let's just lay out those. Those are facts, okay? I know liberals have a tough time with facts, but, excuse me,
Starting point is 00:53:56 feel free to pitch this to your liberal friends because it's true and it will never be debunked. Obama never hit 3% GDP growth, how we measure economic growth in any year of his presidency. It looks like Trump finally did it this year. And it looks like it may be well over 3%. Waiting for the final numbers, recalculations and that. But there's almost no doubt amongst credible economists, Trump will be probably well over 3%.
Starting point is 00:54:21 The Democrats can't have that. They don't want the economy to succeed under Trump. They want the economy to appear awful. So I've seen a series of articles lately suggesting that the tax cut provided a sugar high. And it was in fact government spending that rescued the economy. Ladies and gentlemen, remember gaslighting. Tell a lie. Tell a lie often and isolate people from the truth. The Democrats now are shifting the economy. Ladies and gentlemen, remember gaslighting. Tell a lie. Tell a lie often and isolate people from the
Starting point is 00:54:46 truth. The Democrats now are shifting the narrative. Now it's not that the tax cuts didn't work. It's that they weren't the real driver of growth, Joe. It's the government spending, which to be fair, is high. Now you see what I'm talking about? The narrative cannot be tax cuts
Starting point is 00:55:01 juice the economy. The narrative is going to be now that it was government spending exhibit number one i saw this coming here's bloomberg today why the while the tax cuts got most of the attention spending increases approved after most of the tax changes took effect probably notice how they put that in there, probably had an even bigger effect on growth. And they go on to basically try to explain this away. This is hysterical. Bloomberg, one of the most easily disproved claims Trump made about his tax cut plan is that it wouldn't swell the budget deficit. As a share of gross domestic product, the deficit rose to 4% in October, up from 3.4%
Starting point is 00:55:46 in October of 2017 and 2.6% in October of 2016. Ladies and gentlemen, this is hysterical. This is Bloomberg actually suggesting that the tax cuts are the main contributor here, the tax cuts to the swelling deficit, as they admit in the same article that the government's spending a lot of money and they think that has to do with the economy being juiced. Do you understand how these people make asses of themselves in the very same article, but they're so committed to gaslighting and the narrative government spending is what drives economic growth.
Starting point is 00:56:20 They're so committed to it that they put contradictory claims in the same piece. economic growth. They're so committed to it that they put contradictory claims in the same piece. In other words, deficits are bad. Trump's tax cuts contributed to the deficit. They did not. Deficits are bad, but spending is what caused the economic growth. In the same piece, they write this. Spending bad, spending good. They don't even see it. Now, here's a PolitiFact article. That PolitiFact, which is a joke, PolitiFact is not a serious
Starting point is 00:56:53 entity. But I want to show you how even PolitiFact stumbles over its own fact check. The fact check they're trying to correct is that the U.S. government recorded record tax hauls after the Trump tax cuts and the economic growth. So just to be clear, Bloomberg, these loons are suggesting government spending caused
Starting point is 00:57:19 this while they're simultaneously suggesting government spending is a bad thing. Simultaneously suggesting government spending is a bad thing. Now, PolitiFact's trying to debunk the fact that tax revenue has gone up. Here we go. PolitiFact. Talking about a Treasury report. It says, but the same Treasury report shows that corporate taxes were down during the first 10 months of the fiscal year. They were. In fact, they were down 28.5%, a whopping plunge, but not a surprising one,
Starting point is 00:57:47 giving the sweeping corporate tax cuts included in the law. Corporate tax cuts after the corporate tax rate was cut by Trump did drop. They are now recovering, and some of the monthly corporate tax cut halls they've had before
Starting point is 00:57:59 are now higher than they were before. Those are actually recovering now too, which is to be expected. Of course, when you put a tax cut in the corporate side, the immediate filing afterwards is going to be for less money. You're paying less.
Starting point is 00:58:12 But as businesses grow and earn more money, they'll pay more corporate taxes, which is exactly the trend now. But here's where this PolitiFact fact check gets great. Total receipts, Joe, which include individual and corporate income taxes in other words combined
Starting point is 00:58:28 everything okay as well as estate taxes excise taxes and tariff duties were up between the first 10 months of 2017 and the first 10 months of 2018 the rise was modest let less than one percent but it was an increase so let's be clear on this. PolitiFact is trying to debunk the statement that taxes are up by including the statement that taxes are up, and it was an increase. I just read to you from the piece. Folks, you can't have it both ways. You can't say the tax cuts had nothing to do with economic growth, then fact check it, write that the economy grew, that tax revenue went up, and then simultaneously claim that the tax cuts contributed to the deficit when you acknowledge tax revenue went up.
Starting point is 00:59:20 I don't get it. I don't understand. If you're having a tough time understanding the stupid, it's because I can't get it. I don't understand. I'm so, I'm having a, if you're having a tough time understanding the stupid, it's because I can't explain away how in the very same piece, these people contradict their own premise. Here are the facts. The tax cuts juice the economy
Starting point is 00:59:39 because people had more money to spend and businesses take the money and invest it in their business. That's why corporate tax revenue is going up now, not down higher than it was before. Of course, there was going to be a dip immediately afterwards. The tax rate went down, but that didn't even happen on the income side because people started getting wages in the growing economy wage hikes, which more than compensated for the income tax cuts. economy wage hikes, which more than compensated for the income tax cuts. Oh my gosh, these people are so ridiculous.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Tax cuts work. Tax revenue is up. Government spending, yes, is up. But government spending is not the cause of the growth. Government spending is a drag on the growth, as Bloomberg acknowledges in its own piece. I'm sorry we have to do this on the show, but it's just your liberal friends. You just need to debunk that. Income tax revenue is not down. PolitiFact itself has acknowledged that. Total tax revenue is up. Corporate tax revenue is now trending up higher than it was before after a slight dip. The drag on the economy is government spending.
