Viewers, listeners up dramatically. We're working out a few kinks. We appreciate your patience, but rumble.com been a resounding success viewers listeners up dramatically we're working out a few kinks we appreciate your patience but rumble.com slash bongino 11 a.m if you'd like to check it out join the live chat we deeply appreciate that some of the comments are quite funny as we follow along there they're we're getting a kick out of a lot of informative stuff so i read this story at the Wall Street Journal about this massive mental health time bomb about to go off. And it's not necessarily my educational background at psychology that cued me in. It's my love of country. reading yesterday's story that 77% of our youth are physically incapable or unable to serve in our military due to things like obesity and being out of shape. They're not qualified is a precise way

to say it. And then we have research out there indicating that this may be one of the most depressed and anxious generations of our time. That kind of sounds to me, Joe, like a big problem. See, because you have this thing. You have a country handed to you by your fathers and grandfathers that you do this crazy thing you hand down to. So when you're handing it to a generation of kids that can't defend it and then are mentally incapable to deal with even the slightest of stressors and are depressed and anxious, that sounds to me like trouble. It sounds to me like a legitimate, I hate the buzzword, but it's true in this case, existential threat for the future of your society. I mean, that's kind of how societies have collapsed time and time again, if you actually read the history books. Chaos and disorder take over, a lack of solidarity and fidelity to a common cause.

Where am I getting all this from? This Wall Street Journal article by James Freeman popped yesterday. It's depressing. Pun, believe me, intended. It's called, is politics making kids depressed? They noticed that this big study just exposed a massive, massive problem with our generation of kids, depression and anxiety. They noticed that these depressive affect scores, basically kids being depressed, increased for all adolescents after 2010, but increases were

most pronounced for female liberal adolescents. Oh, really? These findings indicate a growing mental health disparity between adolescents who identify with certain political beliefs. Gee, that's a shocker, fellas. That's really stunning. I mean, as Robert Pondicio writes on Twitter, I mean, you tell your kids your country's founded on lies. You're all a bunch of racists to the core. The country's racist. lies you're all a bunch of racists to the core the country's racist democracy's hanging by a thread none of it matters because climate change gonna blow everybody up we're all gonna get nuked everybody's gonna die you'd probably be depressed too no what's the use what's the freaking point of course conservatives believe none of that. What's my line on this show all the time? I'm long in the United States.

Why? Just understand the history of the United States, and I know the good people who live here. Hot libs. Matty Iglesias, believe me, a card-carrying member of the left, folks, he wrote in a tweet, it's not just young women whose depression rates have soared. It's specifically young liberals with liberal teen boys

actually faring worse than conservative teen girls. Now, why would that be? You would think liberals dragging their kids to disgusting drag shows with adult men shaking their junks and, you know, five and six-year-olds' faces, that that'd have a lot to do with it. Yeah, probably does, sexualizing kids at a young age completely unprepared to handle that. But we're going to go through bit by bit race, masculinity, climate,

policing, public safety, COVID, how liberals who you need to get your kids away from ASAP, move away from these people as soon as possible, want your kids crazy, depressed, and potentially suicidal. If they didn't, they wouldn't be telling them crazy things like this. Here is the second gentleman, kind of a second gentleman, kind of a second gentleman, right? Okay.

Here's the second gentleman, Doug Emhoff, married to Kamala Harris. Here's Dougie. Doug's giving an interview to MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart, another life loser. And they're sitting there talking about toxic masculinity, you know, the men who fight wars and majority of which police streets and majority of which have,

you know, sit there and take high risk jobs and construction and elsewhere to build this country. Well, we're told by crazy lunatic liberals like K-Part and Doug Emhoff, probably the least masculine guy you're ever going to meet. We're told, of course, all of that is toxic, that you shouldn't be proud of your manhood. Of course, you're never going to be told that here, that it's toxic. And I want you to listen to Doug Emhoff. This guy's, keep in mind, this is one of the most important political figures in the United States. He's literally married to the vice president, Kamala Harris. And here he is describing, oh man, he's toxic. Imagine listening to this guy, this charlatan clown, and being told that the very act of manhood is somehow toxic. Take a listen. Has being second gentleman changed your own view of perceived gender roles or what

it means to be a man. This is something I've thought about a lot and something I've spoken about a lot. There's too much of toxicity. It's masculine toxicity out there. And we've kind of confused what it means to be a man, what it means to be masculine. By the way, guys, did he just say foof? Foof. What is foof? What is that? Is that

even a thing, foof? Imagine being a young, teen, liberal, young man or a boy, listening to this absolute imbecile and the imbecile interviewing him, explaining to you how characteristics beyond your control, you were born a man, a boy, a child, and a baby, a male baby. You were born that way and being told that, that that's inherently toxic. And you wonder why all these liberal kids want to jump off a bridge and they're all depressed and anxious all the time. Yeah, exactly. They can't figure out why figures like Tate and others

have developed this massive following out there. People who say things liberals, they scream out against all the time because what they're doing is they're creating a counterrevolution that many would argue goes in the other direction. This wokeism isn't doing liberals what you think it's doing. It's creating counter-revolutionaries. There's a fascinating piece. I'm actually glad you brought this up. I read, forgive me, that'd be in the show if I could remember, but I read it the other day. It was a piece on college campuses, how they are creating almost like revolutionary type conservatives right now because they're being, having shoved down their throats all the time, this crazy nonsense. This is not doing

what you think it's doing you wonder why liberal kids are all depressed and want to kill themselves and they have anxiety scores off the charts get your kids away from these people as soon as possible because they're told that inherently being a man is somehow toxic here's what they're told on race too you wonder why kids are anxious and depressed, hanging around dopey, crazy liberals all day? Well, why would you be optimistic about race relations in the future if Ibram Kendi, one of the lead CRT race essentialism proponents out there, a complete total moron who is like an intellectual scion of the left, which says a lot in his own right, when he remedies, his remedy for discrimination is more discrimination in the future.

You can read the quote from his book right here. The only remedy to racist discrimination is anti-racist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination. How are you supposed to take some solace and peace in growing race relations and better relations amongst races in the United States when you've got idiots like this telling you, no, no, we've got to discriminate even more in the future? That's the remedy. I wonder why these kids are all depressed. By the way, here's their intellectual scion. A man so stupid, he can't even define what racism is.

Remember when he was asked this question? Here's a little clue, by the way. If you need to define a pen, the word pen should not be in the definition. A pen is not a pen-like device that does pen things. That's not a description. That's circular reasoning. Here's this idiot who's made a fortune of telling people how to be racist essentially here he is asked to describe racism i want you to listen to the

crowd's reaction there's a liberal crowd too as they laugh at this idiot check this out you talked about the importance of defining racism but i but i unless i missed it which is possible i didn't i didn't hear your personal definition is there is there one that you would offer us? Like, how do you define racism? Sure. So racism, I would define it as a collection of racist policies that lead to racial inequity that are substantiated by racist ideas. sure a collection of racist policies that lead to racial inequity that are substantiated by racist ideas and you wonder why kids are depressed right and depressed and anxious and suicidal imagine this being the intellectual scion of your time a guy who describes racism is racist the racist racist stuff that does racist stuff. This is your guy. You sensing a theme here, Doug Emhoff, Ibram Kendi, why liberal kids,

young ladies and women are all depressed. These are their leaders. A guy who says foof and a guy who describes racism as racist, the racist stuff and tells you to discriminate more in the future. And a guy who describes racism as racist, the racist stuff and tells you to discriminate more in the future. Get your kids away from these freaking lunatics yesterday. I can't move. Find a way. You want crazy kids. Keep exposing these idiots. It's not just race and masculinity, of course, and have our kids all depressed, suicidal, and anxious. Liberal kids, that is. What about climate? Climate, you know, climate changes all the time on planet Earth. But not now. We've been told, no, human beings, human beings have destroyed the climate. Your very existence is a cancerous,

rotting cause on place, a virus destroying planet Earth. Listen to this young lady up on Capitol Hill. I genuinely feel bad for her. I'm not being sarcastic. This is a young lady on Capitol Hill at one of these climate things a while ago. Listen to her talk about all the doom and gloom and how they're all, this is it, man. They've got a few years left.

They actually believe this. And you wonder why these kids are all losing their minds. Take a listen. This is a fight for our lives, for our security, for all future generations to come. They want us to just sit quiet?

They want us to just sit in school and learn about a future that may not exist? We are here because our generation's past have put us in an unstable place. And you know what? I'm sick of hearing about their actions. I'm sick of their apologies. I'm sick of their shame.

And I'm sick of the future that they've put on us. I'm sick of them. Yeah, they're sick, all right. This is what these young liberal kids are being told by a class of tier one level charlatans, fakes, and frauds. Like the second gentleman, Ibram Racist-y Racist Kendi. And this idiot. Who's this?

Well, you take a look yourself. Here's a very prominent liberal politician, young men and women on the liberal side, love and adore, despite the fact that this politician is clearly one of the most low IQ people sitting in the Congress right now. But the fact that she says insane things

doesn't matter. They believe it, and they all think they're going to die in 12 years. Here, take a listen. Millennials and people and, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that come after us are looking up and we're like, the world is going to end in 12 years

if we don't address climate change. And your biggest issue is, your biggest issue is how are we going to pay it and like this is the war this is our world war ii and it i think for younger people we're looking at this and we're like how how are we saying let's take it easy when 3 000 americans died last year again you sensing a theme here a bunch of grifter loser charlatans like this idiot aoc ibram kendi and doug emhoff telling kids they're awful and evil for being men they're awful and evil for being alive because you're destroying the earth it's only got 12 years telling them all they need to be racist not only now but in the future more of it

and then you wonder why they're depressed. Get your kids away from these people. Here's AOC again. They had this little cartoon. This is about 25 seconds or so. This is a little cartoon she put out there about you got to change everything now. We're running out of time.

Everyone's probably going to die. Take a look. When I was elected to Congress, the world's leading climate scientists declared another emergency. They told us that we had 12 years left to cut our emissions in half or hundreds of millions of people would be more likely to face food and water shortages, poverty and death. Twelve years to change everything. poverty and death. 12 years to change everything. How we got around, how we fed ourselves,

how we made our stuff, how we lived and worked, everything. You said it right, man. I feel bad for these kids. Folks, just for a second, I'm just asking you, imagine this. Imagine being raised in an environment where people you're being told by your liberal professors, teachers, and people in academia in Hollywood, people you admire, are telling you to look up to these people, Ibram Kendi, AOC, Doug Emhoff, Kamala Harris. And all of these people are giving each other the wink and the nod that the world is going to end. You're all evil. You're all stupid. Your existence is a rot on planet Earth. Imagine being told this.

Not that you're a gift from God, this planet. That every human being has some inherent value. You're not being told any of that. That your country, despite its failures, is the greatest country in the history of mankind. Has taken its failures and built bigger and better things. Bigger and better than anyone's ever built them imagine being told it's a racist evil awful country all the time and wondering why your kids all want to kill themselves imagine being told this about the police

a generally good group of people have our you know bad ones as always as every organization's going to but cops i know were good guys, good men and women, there to do a job. Nobody's perfect, of course. But imagine being told as a young liberal that either if you're black or your friends are black, that they're being hunted down in the street. Police are hunting them down. They're being targeted by police all the time. And imagine them being told, imagine being told this by another person you've been told to respect. The charlatan of all charlatans, the hapless loser at the Department of Transportation,

Pete Buttigieg, a man who says a whole lot, but never says anything at all. Here's Buttigieg repeating the absolute fairy tale that police are somehow targeting black men. Why? Because he's a grifter loser, a total life loser scrub with absolutely no human dignity at all, who's interested in starting another, because it's a grift for him, firing up race relations all over the United States and destroying them just like Kendi because they can profit off it. Take a listen. We're hurting right now for our country. The killing of George Floyd

and police violence against Black people in cities across America have brought us to this point where protesters are showing up and insisting that this time really has to be different, that there is no going back to normal until America actually shows through

action that our country values black lives our country values but we don't what the is this guy talking about what is he talking about do you have any idea what he said that we know does anybody in this anyone on this crew here not value black lives? I don't even know what that, what does that even mean? What does that even mean? This is, again, you sensing the theme here. This is not a complicated show, but it's an important one. The question for the show, why do our kids want to kill themselves?

Why are they depressed? Why are they anxious? To the degree we haven't seen in decades. I don't know. A bunch of goofball losers that they look up to, would have been told to look up to, are telling them they suck. The police are hunting them down. The world's going to blow up in 12 years.

You almost wonder how these kids are not depressed. Of course, all of what Buttigieg has said is completely made up. Here, the myth of systemic police racism by Heather MacDonald. The police fatally shot unarmed blacks and 19 unarmed whites in 2019, according to the Washington Post database.

Down, down, that's not up, down? Oh, down from 38 and 32, respectively, in 2015. That's strange. I thought it was up. I thought they were hunting black guys. The Post defines unarmed broadly. Also, and they go through a number of things. She notes also in 2018, there were 7,407 black homicide victims.

So assuming a comparable number of victims last year, these nine unarmed black victims. I thought there were 92,000. They told us, right? They're crazy. Nine unarmed black victims of police shootings represent 0.1% of all African Americans killed in 2019. By contrast, a police officer is 18 and a half times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer. Kind of weird. Buttigieg didn't mention that. He's right. If you forget thousands, he says they probably, if you're a

young liberal, you probably believe there are millions of murdered, assassinated young black men mowed down by police officers. Of course, that's ridiculous, but it doesn't matter. You got Pete Buttigieg, you told me, a total life loser with no human dignity whatsoever. None.

Remember Buttigieg? Let me get off out of the car, pretend I rode my bike to the White House showing up in his cosplay suit at the at the Palestinian he's Palestinian after being humiliated that's who he is ask anyone who really knows Pete Buttigieg total life loser I got more not just depressed about police public safety climate race masculinity they're depressed on covid too i mean they were told it's going to wipe out humankind remember that i got a couple videos on that one when biden even admits it he even admits what they did folks you need a good

Here's an absolutely insane video of Joe Biden on just this topic of COVID and mental health. We locked our kids out of schools. We told them this deadly virus was going to wipe out humanity if they didn't get a vaccine and stick a face diaper on their face. The irony of this video of Biden is after the Democrats engaged in mass hysteria, posted daily death counts on their media channels of COVID in order to take down Trump.

Inflated death counts by blaming everything on COVID. You were in a motorcycle wreck and you died and you test positive for COVID. COVID got you. Closed schools, closed businesses. After all of this, Biden has the moose nuts to say this is a phenomenal negative psychological impact that COVID has had on the public psyche. And so you have an awful lot of people who are notwithstanding the fact that that things have gotten so much better for them economically that they are thinking, but how do you get up in the morning feeling happy, happy that everything's all right? What?

Bro, are you insane? You literally ran against the sitting president, President Trump, stirring up mass COVID hysteria, telling everyone to put face diapers on as if it was going to do anything, spitting up all kinds of fears and horrors about how deadly and people were dying all over the place with this thing. People were dying, not nearly to the degree you made it out. And now you're wondering why people are losing their minds?

Folks, this is how crazy it was. This is a real video. I played it on my radio show yesterday, but you need to see the video. If you're watching on the live chat here, please, if you're not, go to rumble.com slash Bongino and watch it. This is Nassau County, Long Island.

I am very familiar. I grew up there portions of my life. I know Nassau County well. This is the former executive County, Long Island. I'm very familiar. I grew up there portions of my life. I know Nassau County well. This is the former executive, Laura Curran. This is how freaking crazy these people were. This thing degenerates into hilarity as she's giving the rules for playing tennis with COVID and whose balls you can kick or touch. If you're laughing now, I'm not.

This is just play the tape. Unless they're from the same household, has to bring their own tennis balls so that you don't touch other people's tennis balls with your hands. You can kick their balls, but you can't touch them. I'm going to blush. Sorry. Of course, if you're if you're playing with someone in your household, you can touch those tennis balls. Well navigated towards the end. Yes.

Joe, you can kick their balls, but definitely don't touch their balls. Unless they're in your own household and you can touch their balls. Just be careful whose balls you touch. I'm just going to throw that out there. I don't really care who they are. Yeah. Yeah. Just kind of leave other people's balls.

I mean, folks, now listen, we're laughing because this is, I mean, really, that was real. Can you imagine, you know, future generations, right? You look back on the Spanish flu and there wasn't video or anything. We're not going to, you know, the basic pictures and written accounts of it, right? You're not going to have some kind of detailed video analysis of all the crazy that probably happened then too. That's not the case for COVID. There are probably trillions of hours of video and text writing about the crazy liberals forced down our throats. And to be fair,

some swampy republicans during covid people are going to look back in history at videos like this and are going to just be astounded at the level of stupid and yet joe biden's wondering why our kids are going crazy and losing their minds why everybody's losing it by cracking down while liberals are losing their marbles why Why not conservative kids? Because conservative kids' parents told them, be sane. It's a virus. We'll deal with it.

Let me get to my next sponsor. And then I want to wrap this up on a few more topics. Liberals on economic freedom and business. I mean, you're told this doesn't matter. Merit doesn't matter. Greedy corporations are stealing from you. Everyone's going to starve. Okay. It sounds pretty depressing. On the population, population, we're overpopulated. We're all going to starve to death there too. We're overpopulated. That's really weird. Matt doesn't seem to add up on that.

Finally, even their comedians aren't even funny. We'll get to that in a minute. Liquid IV. Liquid IV is my go-to.

Promo code Bongino. Thanks, Liquid IV. Okay, just quick. Why are liberal kids depressed, anxious, suicidal? Well, here's another one of their charlatan masters. They bowed down in genuflect before. The hapless Bernie Sanders, a man who's a millionaire himself, yet tells you millionaires and billionaires are really awful people.

Again, a fraud, a loser, a man with no human dignity at all. Him and Buttigieg come from cut from the exact same cloth. They have no skills. They could never cut it in the private sector. So what do they do? They find themselves in government. Here's Bernie here. Wouldn't this make you depressed? Talking about our economic system, by the way, the most prosperous in the world. And we'd be more prosperous if people like Bernie would get out of the way. Talking about how people are starving,

starving to death, seniors with no income later in life. Yet, it's kind of weird, guys. He seems to forget who manages the senior retirement system. It's got a name.

It's called, it's got, it's social security. Oh, social security. Thank you. He cued me in. Who manages that, guys? Is that Morgan morgan stanley who oh the government manages yeah oh i i didn't know i forgive me i'm a little behind the times bernie sanders wants more government yet he's claiming

seniors have no retirement kind of weird almost like he doesn't even realize how dummy is exposing his own guiding ethos how government's the lodestar. Here, check this out. It is not and has not been a good economy when over 40 million workers were earning starvation wages of less than $15 an hour. And here again is the simple truth. hour. And here again is the simple truth. Nobody in America can make it on eight or nine or ten bucks an hour. And over the last four years, it has not been a good economy when half of older workers, and we don't talk about this enough, when half of older workers had no retirement savings imagine being 55 60 65 you don't got a nickel in the bank and now you're on retirement and how do you do that with any shred of dignity it's like comical so bernie sanders government which stole seniors' money for decades of their working lives to put in a system called Social Security and then took the money and spent it, is now blaming Americans for that problem.

And then he claims that being people in America, starvation wage, people are starving, starving. You wonder why the kids are depressed, which is interesting because I I just went to this, took me about again, 25, 30 seconds, public health.org. Why Americans? Uh, why are they obese?

Hmm. I thought we were all starving. It's interesting. One of the biggest public health crises in the United States. It's not in fact starvation. Like Bernie Sanders is telling the kids, people starving everywhere, Joe. Um, it, in fact, starvation like Bernie Sanders is telling the kids. People starving everywhere, Joe. It's, in fact, obesity. Kind of weird. Kind of weird how they lie to these kids. They all want to kill themselves. Suicidal, anxious, depressed. I wonder why. They're also told, of course, their very existence is a cancer,

not just for climate change. Told that by AOC. 12 years. 12 years, kids. That's it. That's all you got left. Of course, we laugh at all these idiots if you're on the conservative side. But this was a serious question asked at the World Economic Forum to a panelist who, it's interesting, seems to believe, too, and play into the fact, you'll listen in the beginning, you'll hear it, that we are not overpopulated. We're not even close to overpopulated. That is a fairy tale. That is a ridiculous fairy tale. Every single human being on planet earth, everyone could fit in the states of Texas,

Louisiana, and Florida with easily the equivalent floor space of a healthy-sized apartment, and the rest of the earth would be entirely abandoned. Only idiots believe in overpopulation. I mean, absolute morons. But here, you watch at the WEF, the World Economic Forum, you'll see why kids are depressed. She feeds into the myth that overpopulation is feeding into climate change. It's one of the causes. And then she accidentally tells the truth at the end that we may actually be looking at a different

problem, like a demographic time bomb as we whacked a bunch of kids due to abortion who were going to need to pay for all the older people who go bankrupt because the government spent their social security. So weird, like they create the problems and then whine about them. Check this out. Overpopulation contributes to climate change, but it's not the sole cause of climate change. One of the things young people are telling us is they don't want to have children because they feel that the world is such a terrible place to live in. They don't want to bring another child into the world. How do you control population? What policies do you put in place? You look at Singapore and China that has got you know, got a one child policy.

They're all reversing it because they're finding that, you know, then there are no people now left to be consumers or to work in their country. So we can't dictate whether someone's going to reproduce or not. But we can what we can do is provide the information for them to make the right choices for themselves and their families. Why are they depressed? Your very existence is contributing to a massive problem in the world. Climate change, starvation here in the United States, it's not happening. You shouldn't even exist. Gee, why are kids suicidal? I don't know. Maybe they're being told their existence is a problem. Folks, I'd love to tell you this is a deep dive show. We do a lot of those.

Where we get into communist ideology, the wiping out of objective truth, competition for the state. This is none of that. This is an important show, yet the simplest one you've ever seen. Why are kids depressed who are liberal? Because they're told a very active their existence

is a cancerous rot on planet earth. I wonder why. Now, if you go to the newsletter today, and I encourage you to, bongino.com slash newsletter, I'd like you to read this piece. It's from December of 2022. It's from Cato. Valuable people, colon, debunking the myth of overpopulation. So Cato just did something really simple. They said, listen, if overpopulation is causing this scarce resource problem and people are starving and dying because there's too many people, they said, it's really weird when you look at the study about time prices, which represents the length of time you have to work to buy something, pretty simple. Joe, you got to work a month to buy a what, a used car

or three months or four months right yeah so they looked at that they said for example a new television or refrigerator might cost a certain number of hours at an average worker's wages to their surprise the authors found that the resource abundance i thought to be scarce i thought we were starving not only increased with population growth, it actually increased faster than the population. A relationship they call superabundance. On average, every additional human being that the left tells you is a cancer, by the way, created more value than he or she consume. Isn't that interesting? This relationship between population growth and abundance is deeply counterintuitive,

yet it's true and amply demonstrated by the data. No, it's not, of course, not counterintuitive at all. If you're a liberal, it is. I think the Cato is trying to be funny and silly about it. Because liberals, again, if you listen to my show this week titled Liberals Are Really, Really Dumb, that's actually the name of the show, you'll see that liberals never think anything through. Their first order affect people.

They're told something they take at face value and they never say then what. So they see human beings because they're told by AOC and others as just consumers and destroyers of resources. Consume food, they consume water, they consume iPhones, causing a forest to burn or whatever, and minerals to be taken and ripped out of the earth. What they never see is what they use that food they took in to do, to fuel their brains, which creates new ideas like penicillin and cancer treatment and artificial intelligence and quantum mechanics. Liberals see none of that. Conservatives do.

Every human being is a gift, not a curse. You wonder why liberal kids are depressed and conservatives aren't? What I just said just sums that up right there. Conservative kids raised in conservative, smart households are told every human being is a gift. Live long and prosper, baby, Star Trek style. Liberal parents aren't telling their kids that. You're going to die. The police are going to hunt you down.

That white kid next to you hates you. Police are hunting black men in the streets. Climate's going to evaporate in 12 years. The rich men are coming for you. Corporate greed. Everyone's starving. The earth is overpopulated. I'm actually stunned any of these liberal kids aren't insane nuts.

Finally, their comedians aren't even funny. The people they look up to in comedy are supposed to make them laugh, are also depressing conspiracy theory losers as well that tell them crazy things. I'll get to that in a second. Let me get to my last sponsor first. I've got a couple more news items and of course, questions for Dan. first. And I've got a couple more news items.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Messaging data rates apply. Thanks, Berksh. Appreciate it. Finally, one last point on why liberal kids are all depressed and anxious and suicidal. Where do you go when you need a laugh, Joe? You go to comedians. I mean, our generation was what?

George Carlin, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor. I mean, you have comedians. Yeah, now you have the Louis CKs, Dave Chappelle's of the world, whatever. But the liberal comedians, right? Cause liberals hate Chappelle and others, the liberals, they listen to people like Jimmy Kimmel, one of the blackface, Jimmy Kimmel, remember him? Not funny at all. Really not. I'm genuinely objectively not funny. It's kind of weird. He has one job to be funny and he can't even do that. But Tucker exposed this idiot the other day. Imagine going someplace for a laugh and then being pumped a conspiracy theory that the Wuhan virus emanated somehow from a pangolin or something like that. Take a listen. Even the, quote, comedians, they were on propaganda duty

too. Watch this. He's also pushing US intelligence to find evidence for this theory that the virus was accidentally released from a lab in Wuhan. That's his new angle to feed the wingnuts to treat this virus like it was a conspiracy of some kind. It should have never happened. This plague should never have happened. It could have been stopped, but people chose not to stop it. What people? Tomorrow he'll blame the Spanish flu on Antonio Banderas. Yeah.

Imagine if you're a comedian and all of a sudden your cue card has all kinds of talking points from politicians and foreign governments on it. Don't read it. You degrade yourself and you become complicit in the greatest crime in history. We'll just leave that segment there. I feel bad for these people, I do. I spent a lot of years in school, college, graduate work.

I know you never cite your education. It's true, you sound like an idiot, but it's important in this case. It's a serious thing, folks. And the problem with depression, major depressive episodes, is once that black cloud parks over your head, man, it is really hard to get rid of. I have personal and both educational and personal experience with it. It is really hard to get rid of. Okay. So this happened up on Capitol Hill yesterday. Let me move on. John Kennedy asked, he's a Republican senator from Louisiana.

He questioned Merrick Garland about the infamous memo from the Department of Justice instructing the FBI to investigate parents who spoke up at school board meetings. Now, of course, Merrick Garland, who is a sniveling loser, and I mean, really, probably the worst attorney general, I would say, comfortably, actually, we've had in U.S. history. This sniveling coward lies his way through the whole thing. But what I found interesting about this exchange is not just the exchange, but how liberals, again, depressed, anxious, suicidal liberals, how they used to speak out against the FBI and the CIA. Remember that COINTELPRO, the Black Panthers? Remember that?

They hated the FBI and the CIA. COINTELPRO, the Black Panthers. Remember that? They hated the FBI and the CIA. But now that the FBI and the CIA are even more powerful and they're targeting what they perceive to be their political enemies, liberals like Ed Krazerstein, whatever his name is,

I don't know who this guy is, I just found out about this guy. Ed, apparently some anti-Trump crazy person. Ed Krazerstein, he thinks this is great. Play the video first, which he seems to love. Check this out. Didn't you understand the chilling effect that it would have to parents when you issued your directive, when you directed your criminal divisions and your counterterrorism divisions to investigate parents who were angry at school boards and administrators during COVID?

So, Senator, if you'd just give me a moment to put to full context, I did not do that. I did not issue any memorandum directing the investigation of parents who are concerned about their children. Quite to the contrary, the memorandum that you're talking about says at the very beginning of the memorandum that vigorous public debate is protected by the First Amendment. And the kind of concerns that you're talking about are, as expressed by parents, are, of course, completely protected. The memorandum was aimed at violence and threats of violence against a whole host of school personnel. It was not aimed at parents making complaints to their school board. So, again, the bizarre thing is not that sniveling life loser and coward Merrick Garland lied about what he just said.

There was a memo issued from the DOJ, which was a follow-up to a request to treat them like domestic parents from a National School Board Association. Those are just facts. Garland's just a liar. I mean, he's a coward. He's a chump. So it's not just that he lied. It's that liberals like Ed Kraserstein here. I don't know who this guy is, but apparently blue checkmark guy,

liberals seem to like. He's got glasses on in his avatar, so he's definitely tough. He loves this. He's like, look at this, Republicans. He falsely claimed here that DOJ had been targeting parents or whatever, insisting that Garland completely debunked

the entire talking point. Now, you would think liberals would be concerned about this kind of thing, targeting parents and all, using the weaponized FBI, Intel community. Liberals love it because they're depressed, anxious, crazy people. The weird thing is that the Krasersteins apparently were targeted by the FBI or Homeland Security themselves, according to this Daily Beast article. So strange that they seem to be all pro-FBI. Wait a little thing.

Now, Kyle Serafin, who was actually in the FBI, Joe, you think he knows a little bit more than Ed Kraserstein? Yeah, he was there. Maybe a tad bit. Yeah, he was in the FBI. He was there. Yeah, he probably knows. Joe knows him.

You met him once, right? Nice guy. Yeah. Yeah, we met him. Cool guy. He was in the FBI. He was there. Yeah, he probably knows. Joe knows him. You met him once, right? Nice guy. Yeah. Yeah, we met him. Cool guy. He was an actual FBI agent. And the interesting thing is he responded to Ed Krasner's team, and he said, listen, I was actually there as an FBI agent.

He's actually the whistleblower on the school board scandal. And he says, he talks about Krasner's team here. He says, well, this isn't really true. He said the FBI opened a dozen or dozens of investigations with the threat tag. They were turned over to the House Judiciary. The FBI doesn't have the bandwidth for some BS local threat case, but took these threat cases on because the Attorney General you just saw directed it. And the Assistant Director of Counterterrorism in the FBI

made it a headquarters priority by calling attention to it. And the assistant director of counterterrorism in the FBI made it a headquarters priority by calling attention to it. He notes, God help you, Ed, if you end up on the wrong side of a future regime that weaponizes law enforcement against your preferred positions. Your efforts defending this terrible figurehead who's allowing the deputy AGs to run wild is not a good position. But don't worry, Krasnerstein definitely knows more than Kyle, who is actually there. Kyle will be on my Fox show, by the way, tomorrow night, Saturday at 9 p.m., talking about how this school board thing is very real and Garland's lying. I also have an update on my Fox show on what would a national divorce look like, so don't miss that, and a monologue in the beginning on, did China just pull off the crime of the century? Don't miss it.

Unfiltered. Tomorrow night, Saturday, Fox, 9 p.m. All right. Time for questions for Dan. Hey, Dan, at Bobcat Bruno. Besides food, what do you recommend everyone should have on hand in case of an emergency EMP attack? One, your home should be protected against an EMP attack. There are a number of, just put in a search engine, protecting my home against EMP attacks. They're very cheap. Attach them to your circuit breaker, your circuit board. It'll absorb a lot of that. That's number one. Number two, you should probably have some hazmat materials. You should have water filtration. You should have firearms. You should have ammunition. You should have a means to create fire. You should have charcoal. You should have ammunition. You should have a means to create fire. You should have charcoal.

You should have some kind of grill. You should have some bleach. These are all things that should be just mandatory for every American. You think the government's going to save you. You're crazy. So those are just a couple of things. At Get Up and Dance. Hey, Dan, I've been listening to you for years now.

Love the show. Thank you. You've been saying you're long in the United States. It's because I am. Is that just your view on the political landscape of our nation or also on the righteousness of our nation or both? No, it's second, the second portion, the latter. Folks, listen, you may chalk it up and laugh.

That's fine. There's something about this place is just different. I believe God has blessed this place. We shouldn't be here. We shouldn't have lived through the civil war. We shouldn't have survived the war of 1812. We should not have survived against the British army in the revolution. We barely survived the hippies. And yet we continue to get richer and richer and wealthier and richer and wealthier. You don't think that's weird? How come it's not being anyone else? I think God needed an example and we're in. We cause our own struggles, but I'm convinced this place is going to always come out on top. I don't know. If I'm crazy, I'm crazy, but I'm not going

down six feet deep thinking otherwise. Hey, Dan, at Creed, who gave Obama the secret service handle renegade? The military. They do that. They create the code names for the presidents, not us. Hey, Dan, specifically, I think WACA, the White House Communications Agency. Hey, Dan, at Telfair, if you have dates, locations for your book tour, please come to Atlanta, Georgia. I don't.

We are working on it. We finished the book. I think, I'll let you know, it'll be up for presale next week. So if you'd pick it up on pre-order, I would deeply, deeply appreciate it. We finished the book. I think, I'll let you know, it'll be up for pre-sale next week. So if you'd pick it up on pre-order, I would deeply, deeply appreciate it. When it comes out, I think it's going to happen next week. Got the cover ready to rock and roll. The book is done.

I love it. My wife loves it. My publisher sent me a big, long email. I think this is the best thing I've ever, best book I've done. So I will get you those locations. Here's the problem. I need two things in every location. I need a bookstore to manage the book signing, and I need a radio station we're affiliated with to do the radio show. It's not easy. It's easy in big cities, but everybody

goes to big cities. I want to go to places nobody goes. I want to go to chattanooga you know nobody does books on i want to go there where real americans are i don't want to go to you know just la that's why but it's not easy so hey dan rc1999 any idea when more of your folds of honor shirts i did not wear this on purpose for this question will be available here it is right here with the Dan Bongino show. And then freedom isn't free on the back. And will you ever offer other types of merchandise, mugs, stickers,

hats? The reason I picked this question today is Paula has been busting her hump to get this store up and running. And we are almost there. We did the folds of honor run. We sold out in just about a day, which we were stunned by. We did the folds of honor run. We sold out in just about a day, which we were stunned by. We didn't expect the kind of response. So we're almost there. Jeremy Yan. Dan, hope the elbow is doing better. It has swollen today. PT guy beat me up a little

bit yesterday. I hope Lucy's doing well too. You've been able to play with Lucy lately despite the elbow surgery. Yeah. Lucy's low maintenance, man. She just wants belly rubs. And, you know, my right hand works fine. Lucy, I want to, you know, she doesn't like to throw the ball like Lauren Curran, kick the balls, throw the balls. Lucy's a girl, so we don't have to worry about kicking anybody's balls or anything. But all she wants to do is belly rubs.

That's it. Frederick underscore Bastiat. There you go. What do you think about negative reps in a workout? Absolutely critical. 100% critical. Eccentric movements. What's a negative rep? Say you're doing a bicep curl. This is the positive concentric portion of the rep. The lowering portion is also exercise. It's called a negative or eccentric motion. The mistake people make when they lift is they scream the weight up. They just drop it down. You're killing half the movement.

That resistance to lowering it creates a ton of muscle growth. Look it up. Make it a huge mistake if you ignore the negative. Negative pull-ups. That's right. Pull up and then slow let yourself down. Hey, Dan,

will the Omaha steak freezer go to the new studio so Guy won't go on? We haven't thought that through at Clemmy. That's Guy's most critical question. He insisted I include that. I think we'll just have him

send Omaha right to his house to keep him happy. Is that it? That's it. Folks, I always love the questions. Those always crack me up. Thanks again for tuning in. It's a good answer.

He's happy with that. A couple of small requests. Please tune in, set your DVR if you can't make it live to my Fox show tomorrow night. Again, did China commit the crime of the century? And what will a national divorce look like? I'm going to tell the nation about it on my Fox show tomorrow night, 9 p.m. unfiltered.
