I'm going to throw this out there. I want everyone to listen, including the liberal lunatics. Let me get to my, I also have a quick update for you on that health thing. So a lot to get to today. Today's show brought to you by our friends at Job Creators

Network. Ladies and gentlemen, we're weeks away from election day. Voting has already started in some states. My wife and I already voted. It's from election day. Voting has already started in some states. My wife and I already voted. It's about to start in others. If you live in Ohio, early in-person voting begins 28 days before the election. In Arizona, it's 27.

That's why I need you today to go to keepamericaamerica.com today. They will get you the most trusted, up-to-date voting information. They're the best right now in the business of doing this at Matters. While you're there, please commit to take one person to the polls, just one at a minimum, or help them complete a mail-in ballot, a request for one.

The 2016 election was decided by thousands of votes, not millions. And 300,000 of you across the country have gone to KeepAmericaAmerica.com. I want to see that number reach one million. Please, get out the vote. G-O-T-V. It's all that matters right now. Make this the biggest get out the vote effort in conservative history. One the liberal media can no longer ignore. Do a little, do a lot. Go to keepamericaamerica.com and do your part now to figure out how much you can do. Get out the vote. The vote is all that matters now. All the other stuff is over.

No more pre-games, no more pre-season. This is the Super Bowl. Go to keepamericaamerica.com today and figure out what you can do. All right, Joe, let's go. Yes, sir. All right, so just a quick update. A lot of you are asking, you know, you're part of my life.

You have been for five years plus now. So I got a call about the lump in my neck and it wasn't the best call. It wasn't the worst call. Basically said, you know, we just don't know yet. They just don't know. The biopsy they did, the needle biopsy, the results were basically not conclusive enough to make a determination, which again, it's not bad news, not great news. You want to hear, obviously, it's not, you's not something really bad. So bottom line is I'm going to have to have a procedure done probably next week, which may

impact the recording schedule a little bit. I'll let you know in advance. I just found out today, honestly, just before the show, it's been a lot to process, but enough about me, a lot of stuff going on. So let's bypass on that till I have more information. Let's get right to the substantive material of the day. So President Trump, as I told you yesterday in one of our most, I think, most listened to show combined ever on Rumble, audio, everywhere, I covered yesterday the reasons I laid out why Trump won the debate.

Listen, I get it, liberals. I think what that lunatic Seth Meyers was like poking fun at me last night. I'm sorry Seth Meyers is a moron, doesn't know anything about politics. But these are the same morons who told you in 2016, remember Joe? Hillary Clinton smoked out Donald Trump in a debate

and promptly lost in an electoral college landslide. Hillary Clinton would have won the election if she was running to be governor of New York and California. She wasn't. She was running to be president of the United States and got destroyed because of people like Seth Meyers, these other goofballs who can't read the tea leaves. What's going to happen in the election? I don't know. Things could change in a few weeks. I'm simply telling you, if you came away from that debate

thinking Biden won that, you're deranged. Was it a rout by Donald Trump? No. Was it a win? A hundred percent. It was a win by Trump. And yesterday I explained why. The most damaging political narratives that hurt you politically are ones that change your idea of who the candidate is. Nothing changed about who you thought Donald Trump was in the debate, did it? Was anybody confused that Donald Trump is a bombastic guy who's got a lot of bravado and machismo? Anyone? Did anyone go into that like, oh, my gosh, Donald Trump is usually so understated and quiet? I'll give you a second, Joe.

Did you? Anybody think that? I'm waiting for a hand to get raised anywhere in the audience that isn't there. No, I don't see any fictional hands where nobody thought that. No. But before the debate, leftists like the AOC crowd and the Bernie Sanders crowd did go in there thinking Joe Biden was going to be with them on the Green New Deal, massive tax hikes, government run health care and elsewhere, because behind the scenes, that's what he's telling people to get the leftists on board, which are an increasingly large portion of the Democrat Party. Well, that's what he's telling people to get the leftists on board which are an increasingly large portion of democrat party well that's not what joe biden did donald trump smoked him out and got

him to repudiate all that stuff that's a big problem for joey b plus as i told you he lost his temper but he's supposed to be the calm cool collective guy not so much you clown you racist shut up man so because trump won the debate i think handily and caused a lot of political damage to biden now everybody wants to change the rules what is the dog doing there she's looking there's a dead ant on my floor this thing is obsessed with my poor lucy down there she is she will not leave this ant alone. I mean, you may say, why are you cleaning? Because I just killed it a minute ago. I had a rush to do the show.

So now, of course, getting back to this, the media wants to change the debate rules to make sure their guy, the media's guy, Joe Biden, wins. So see the story

Future presidential debate moderator shares a tweet asking if trump will submit to new debate rules anthony leonardi washington examiner did i was i clear on my answer joe before the show in the intro what would be the answer to that for president trump a no a big no a huge no in all caps no a no with exclamation points a no written in spanish with exclamation points upside down and right side up if you know anything about writing in spanish you know what i'm talking about a a niet joe just speaks a little right isn't that

yet in russia i don't know what's what's no in every language out there? No, nothing. No, we're not going to acquiesce to your bullying tactics because your candidate sucks, Joe Biden, and blew it in the debate. They want to be able, let me just be clear on this. They want to be able to mute the president of the United States' microphone? CBS. What?

CBS. Imagine, imagine that. No, no, no, no, no. Imagine this. Yeah, no, I, no, no. Imagine this. Yeah, no, I'm not kidding. This is not a joke. This is not a Babylon Beast segment. I have one of those later, but this isn't it.

Imagine going to court and in the jury are 12 of your worst enemies. Don't ask how they got there, but they're 12 of your worst enemies. They hate your guts. We've all got them, sadly. 12 of your worst enemies. You your guts we've all got them sadly 12 of your worst enemies you're in the jury box and as you're getting ready to defend yourself with your lawyer they're like judge mute button time we don't like this guy no chance in hades you would agree to that why would donald trump let cbs of all people mute his microphone the answer is is no. No way.

Not a chance. Okay, so what do we do? I actually have to end here. Hell no. I'm saying Haiti. You get the point. Here's my suggestion if Team Trump is listening.

If they go through with that and change any of the rules, immediately pull out of these debates uh i know i i know i know many of you i get it i already hear the rumbling i hear the bustling i do too well oh damn is president trump's gonna look like a coward uh no ladies and gentlemen president trump is gonna look like a loser in the debate if his worst enemies, CBS and the media, get to mute his microphone as he's actually trying to defend himself. Now, I think everything through.

I don't say things on my show for effect or emotion, although I am an emotional guy. Everything I say, I think through, obviously. Don't let the halo effect take over. Don't let my square jaw and generally mean-looking face distract you from, I think, a lot of this and all of this through. My pitbull-like face confuses people. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not simply an issue of president trump and the debates and what he looks like or doesn't you think the networks which stand to make a fortune off this kind of stuff pre pre-game coverage post-game coverage do you have any idea listen i'm in the

entertainment uh political news business commentary business i know what it is there are ad rates cpms cost per mil where these people pay a lot of money you think all these networks are going to give up all that money if donald trump threatened to pull out of the debate i think cbs and everyone would back down immediately and he should but you don't want to pull out and look like a coward I think CBS and everyone would back down immediately. And he should. But you don't want to pull out and look like a coward. So what do you do? Paul, let me know what you think of my plan.

Joe, too. I need some back. I haven't told him about this. I told Paul about my second idea, but not this one. You propose a legitimate town hall. You invite some Republicans and some Democrats, and you just do it yourself. And you pick a moderator you actually trust. No problem. Invite some Democrats and we'll take questions from Democrats. Trump takes questions from Democrats every day. The media,

what's the difference? Trump takes questions from hardcore Democrats every day. Get some steel workers, some oil workers, some union folks, some school teachers. Take questions from them. Do a crowd. 50-50 Democrats, Republicans. Do your own town hall.

Get an actual moderator that's not a Democrat like someone at CBS. I don't know. I'm about to bond right here. I don't know their politics. I'm just telling you, letting CBS run the debate,

make the rules, hard no. Pull out immediately if they do that. Set up your own town hall. Put it on Fox or whatever. I don't speak for Fox with this, just to be crystal clear. Put it on Fox, somewhere else, and watch the ratings go through the roof while Joe Biden tries to give a speech in front of six people in a backyard somewhere on counter-programming. What do you think of my idea? You like it,

Joe? What do you think? I think it could work. Yeah, very well. It could work. Yeah. I'm just being clear. I don't want that. No. I'd rather a debate. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying a debate where CBS is muting the president's microphone. No, we'll do our own debate. Here's idea number two. Get ready. This one's going to rankle some folks that may be understating it dramatically,

but that's okay. The president loses. I think that's unlikely, but obviously there's a chance president Trump President Trump loses, should we say this? We're going to cause a lot of trouble, aren't we? Yeah, we are. I'm going to say it anyway. It's okay.

This is my best advice to them because you're dealing with a stack deck. You're dealing with the intelligence community and people in it who hate his guts. You're dealing with people at the top of law enforcement, like the second worst director in FBI history, Christopher Wray, sabotaging the president's campaign efforts at every opportunity. White supremacists are the biggest threat to the country right now. Really? They're burning down Minneapolis and New York City?

I might have missed that. Antifa, it's an ideology. Really? It's funny because I actually have a New York Times article saying the exact opposite. Christopher Wray, who is the worst FBI director in history, he's got everything allied against him. He could lose. I hope he doesn't.

If he loses, the day he's declared the loser of the election, he should declare he's running again in 2024. Day after. My gosh, Dan. Can't say that. It would look like an unpeaceful transition. There's nothing not peaceful about it. Peacefully leave office. You have to. That's what we do.

Declare the day you're declared the loser. If it happens, unlikely, but could happen. Declare you're running again in 2024 and run every single day. Oh my gosh, we've never had that. It would disrupt the Biden presidency. Oh, you mean like they disrupted the Trump presidency? With the Spygate fiasco, the impeachment fiasco,

the various investigations into Donald Trump's family, despite no evidence of criminality. You mean the attorney general in New York looking into tax records, despite the fact that he's been under audit for a while. Nobody else has found it, but he has. You mean all the Trump people put in jail for process crimes while Hillary's team gets away with actual crimes.

You mean that? Oh, and we're supposed to feel bad. We're supposed to feel bad. I'm not kidding. If he loses, declare the next day you were running for president in 2024 and campaign every single day from that point on oh my gosh this would be unprecedented in america unprecedented

like you mean like calling the president united states a russian traitor and fabricating a collusion hoax which the sitting president at the time barack obama was in on you mean like that you mean like an fbi director testifying on Capitol Hill yesterday? Oh, I've got that yesterday. Who ran the largest, most impactful investigation into a president and a presidential candidate in American history and yet can't remember any details unless he's writing a book. Then he remembers the details.

You mean unprecedented like that? Tell me again why we're supposed to feel bad for these people? You want to make Trump an illegitimate president for four years? Well, let's do our best then to make sure President Trump gets back in the mix right after he loses. Again, just to be clear, I'm not suggesting an unpeaceful transition at all. Don't misconstrue what I'm saying. Hand over the keys to the White House. Do your thing.

Don't do what the Democrats did to George W. Bush when Clinton left. You know, tore up the White House. Don't do any of that stuff. Take the furniture into China. No, no, no. Don't do that. That's just no class and dignity in that. Turn over the keys. Take the furniture into China? No, no, no. Don't do that. That's just no class and dignity.

Turn over the keys? Tend the inauguration? Mr. President Biden, have a nice day? Day later, start campaigning again. I love that idea. And I think he should strongly take that into account. The liberals would go

wild because they'd say, wait, wait, we're only allowed to do that stuff. You know, fake impeachments and investigations and weaponized government spying and all that. That's our thing. You're not allowed to run for president right away. And keep in mind, I'm not talking about breaking any laws like they did. I'm talking about just announcing like any free citizen, you're running for president. I'm talking about just announcing like any free citizen you're running for president let's hope it's not necessary and we win

but I think the president should strongly strongly take that into account I know a lot of you in the audience are nodding right now some of you are saying Dan we should be the bigger people and let Biden have his presidency sorry you feel that way.

We're in a war right now with these people. I'm not kidding. Don't ever forget one axiomatic truth of politics. Conservatives think liberals are people with really bad ideas. The radical left thinks conservatives are really bad people with ideas. Don't ever forget that. All right, I'm going to need my second sponsor, and then I want to move on to Jim Comey yesterday,

who has now cemented himself as the worst director in the history of the FBI, quite possibly the worst director or head honcho of any law enforcement entity at any time, anywhere in the United States. What an embarrassment. I got a lot on that. Today's show also brought to you by our friends

that's now confirmed. I mean, it's not even a close second, really. They're not even a silver medalist, Joe. There's just a gold medal and the medal stand has been nuked. Like, it's only you a close second, really. They're not even a silver medalist, Joe. There's just a gold medal and the medal stand has been nuked. Like, it's only you, Jim. It's only you sitting on the medal stand all by yourself. They took a sledgehammer to the bronze and the silver position.

It's just you, buddy. Maybe in the history of the United States. So Jim Comey, disgraced FBI director, goes up to Capitol Hill yesterday to answer questions about the revelations we discussed on yesterday's show that we now know Hillary Clinton invented the collusion hoax. Donald Trump's colluding with the Russians. That was a Hillary Clinton fabrication and her team. We now know Jim Comey's FBI knew about that, that Hillary made up the whole thing. We now know the Russians knew about that too. And we now know Jim Comey not only did nothing about Hillary using Russian disinformation to create a collusion hoax,

but actually had Donald Trump investigated for the hoax he knew Hillary Clinton invented. Does that sum this thing up? Yeah. So they get Jim Comey, disgraced fraud liar, up to Capitol Hill. This guy's about seven feet tall of garbage. He really is. You ever see him in person? Garbage doesn't usually stack that high. In Jim Comey's case, it absolutely does.

So Just The News, John Solomon's terrific website, by the way, which has a great video account on Rumble too. I just want to throw that in there. Just The News has John Solomon's terrific website, by the way, which has a great video account on Rumble, too. I just want to throw that in there. Just the News has a great piece about this, and I've got some video for you, which is pretty damning, to say the least. John Solomon, James Comey's no-clue routine on the Russia probe exposes an FBI in distress. Gee, you think? So, I just told you Comey knew Hillary made up the collusion hoax

knew the Russians knew about it knew the Russians were using disinformation because Hillary's looking for fake information on Trump and Russia and Comey decides yes let's investigate

Donald Trump but when asked about this yesterday John Solomon covers this in his piece Jim Comey unbelievably who wrote a book on this wrote a a book on this, doesn't, it seems to have retro and anterograde amnesia. Stunning how that works.

From John Solomon's piece, be in the show notes today. Here's Comey, quote, that doesn't ring any bells with me. Not a lot rings a bell with you, Jim. Seven feet tall, high stack of human garbage. Comey answered when Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham asked him about a September 2016 referral to the FBI, alleging Hillary and her campaign may have concocted the whole Russia collusion case against Trump to hide her own vulnerabilities. to hide her own vulnerabilities. Amazing how, again, the amnesia kicks in with Jim Comey,

who wrote a book on this and was happy to do any interview you can to promote his book, a book full of Comey nonsense. He remembers every detail then. But now that we find out that the intelligence community in the United States sent an actual referral, we have our hands on, to the FBI saying, hey, Jim, big problem. Hillary is inventing this collusion hoax and the Russians know about it, which is basically an invite

to the Russians to give Hillary fake information. Reminds me of that Giphy, you know, the guy in the Giphy who taps on his head. Those of you who are on social media know what I'm talking about. That's the Giphy. I need that guy in the Giphy who taps on his head. If you, those of you who are on social media, you know what I'm talking about? That's the giphy. I need that guy in the giphy. But instead, Jim Comey decided to investigate Trump because he's a lunatic.

Hat tip M2 madness on, on Twitter, where I found this video. Here is Jim Comey being asked about the referral where the Intel community is like, Hey Jim, big problem. Hillary's looking for information on Trump and Russia to make up this collusion hoax

and the Russians know about it. That's a problem. Here's Comey's answer. And if you're watching on Rumble, rumble.com slash Bongino to see on video, you'll see below it, this M2 man, the scout was kind enough to put in the referral at the bottom there where it says clearly that on September 7, 2016, a referral was sent to Jim Comey while he's denying knowing anything about it. Watch this video. Did you have a duty to look at any allegations regarding Clinton in Russia?

I don't know what you mean. Well, you say you had a duty to look at allegations about the Trump campaign being involved with the Russians. You've got a letter now from Radcliffe saying that there was a they intercepted information about an effort in July where Hillary Clinton approved a camp, an effort to link Trump to Russia. The mob. Did you have an investigation to look and see if whether that was true? I can't answer that. I've read Mr. Radcliffe's letter, which frankly, I have trouble understanding. I can't take this guy. I cannot take this epic fraud of a human being. This man is a disgrace to humankind, not just to law enforcement. Dan, you're being hard. No, no, I'm being nice. Believe me, the New York Queens kid in me would come out. We'd be

thrown off terrestrial radio if I told you how I really feel about this human garbage pile. He doesn't know. Just to be clear, folks, can put yourself in his shoes for a minute. You're all very smart, a lot smarter than this dunce. You're the FBI director. On September 7th of 2016, right before the 2016 presidential election, the intel community sends you, the FBI director, a personal memo that one of the candidates is trying to concoct a collusion scheme with an enemy of the United States and that enemy knows about it. And he has no recollection of it at all. None. Now, some of you may remember some, to show you how sleazy

this human garbage pile is. Remember a little while ago on my show when I addressed Jim Comey's refusal to get cleared, security cleared? I don't get it, Dan. Why would the Trump administration or anyone want to give Comey back a security clearance? Well, he needs to have his security clearance back to be able to look at these memos like the one addressed to him on September 7th, 2016, which discusses Hillary's plot to invent the collusion hoax. But instead of Comey saying, yeah, clear me me back in I'd like to take a look at it refresh my memory and clear things up Comey refused because he's a garbage pile so now when he says hey I don't remember anything nobody can come back to him like

Lindsey Graham or someone that's interesting Mr Director, because we showed you the memo just an hour ago. You still don't remember? You see what's going on? I warned you about this months ago. It's a benefit of being attuned into the show. Many of you are shaking your heads. How Comey's lawyers and them got together and said, no, no, don't clear us back in.

Why? Because we don't want to clear it up. And we don't want you to show us classified documents because we don't want to tell you what really happened because I'm going to go and testify in front of Congress and potentially in a criminal trial later on. I just don't know. Jim Comey turns out doesn't, air quotes here, dreaded air quotes, doesn't know about a lot of things. He also doesn't know, apparently, about the interview in January of 2017,

right after the election, but before the inauguration, where they started sniffing around. Well, the interview happened in that time, but I shouldn't say, but I'm going to be precise

in the timeline. January of 2017, they interview Christopher Steele's source for the dossier, the PSS, what we call the primary sub-source, where Steele says, I got allier, the PSS, what we call the primary subsource,

where Steele says, I got all my information. You know, the PP dossier stuff. I know Comey knew about that briefing. I knew that a while ago. I told you about that. I even know one of the people's names who was in there in a briefing who informed Comey. Let's go back to John Solomon's piece from Just the News,

where they're like, hey, Jim, you signed off on three more warrants based on this dossier to spy on Donald Trump, yet the source used in the dossier said all this stuff is garbage. Quote, John Solomon, similarly, Comey testified he either did not remember, oh, shocker, or was not told there were serious problems with the Christopher Steele dossier, and that the dossier contained Russian information, and that Steele's primary subsource had disputed information in the explosive document or that the primary subsource had previously been judged to be a possible Russian asset

between 2009 and 2011. Comey doesn't know anything about that, folks. Sure. So just to be clear, he doesn't know anything about the memo telling him, Hey, this collusion thing is a hoax. Hillary invented.

He doesn't know anything about that, but he writes a book. He writes a book. He doesn't know anything about Christopher steel sources saying, Hey, this steel dossier you guys are using to spy on Trump and his campaign. Yeah. Yeah.

It's all fake. He doesn't know anything about that interview of Steele's sources either. So there are two scenarios here. I know, Joe, you're probably figuring them out. One, Jim Comey is the single dumbest human being to ever sit in the FBI director's office in the J. Edgar Hoover building.

Yeah, yeah. Or Jim Comey is a sociopathic, pathological liar. I'll let you decide. Yeah, both of them, man. There's no option C here. There's no none or all of the, well, maybe an all of the above. There's certainly not a none of the above. Here is Mike Lee, my friend from Utah, Republican Senator,

who's had about enough of Jim Comey. Mike, believe me when I tell you, too, Senator Lee is a, about as sober and restrained as a human being.

I know him personally. He's a good man. I mean, I like everything he's done. That's fine. I'm telling you from my experience, he's a decent human being

and I will stand by that until the end of time. He's done things for me behind the scenes. Again, we don't always agree on everything, but he's a decent human being and I will stand by that till the end of time. He's done things for me behind the scenes. Again, we don't always agree on everything, but he's a good man. Mike Lee is, I would say, errs towards a libertarian

conservative and doesn't like the idea of the FISA court at all. So the fact that Comey used the FISA court to spy on President Trump really has Mike Lee, again, a very sober downer. I've never seen him riled up for anything. Has him a little upset. I want you to listen to him shred

dopey Jim Comey on Jim Comey's selective memory. Check this out. Mr. Comey, with all due respect, you don't seem to know anything about an investigation that you ran. So how can you now, as a private citizen and former FBI director, show up and then speculate freely regarding any alleged ties between President Putin and President Trump? I heard you say just a moment ago, now I hope I misunderstood you, please correct me if I did.

I think I heard you say that you still speculate they might have something on President Trump because of how President Trump refers or doesn't refer to President Putin in public. This, of course, takes into account nothing about the fact that sources you've relied on in the past have turned out not to be accurate. You didn't identify the inaccuracies subsequently to the FISA court. It acknowledges nothing about the fact that there are perfectly reasonable explanations as to why one leader would refer to a foreign leader in a certain tone.

Or the fact that this is the same tone that he uses in referring to other world leaders particularly those world leaders in parts of the country where we've had some issues so so honestly how can you as a private citizen now come to us and in your capacity as former fbi director and speculate so freely regarding these alleged ties when you don't seem to know anything about this investigation that you ran? Uh, uh, does somebody have a band-aid for it? Wait, hold on. Alcohol pad.

Here you go. BD, alcohol swabs. Someone might want to put some salve on that. Alcohol swab first. Swab, maybe a little what, neosporin or something on that. So Jim, just to be clear, dopey Jim Comey, you don't know anything about anything involved in the investigation of substance. You don't want to be reminded, so you don't want your security clearance about what you did. But then you go out and write a book and go on TV and imply that Donald Trump is a Russian agent,

although you remember nothing about the investigation into Donald Trump allegedly being a Russian agent that turned out that he wasn't a Russian agent. I'm just I'm just trying to get get my arms around that under a pummeling style underhooks. Go for the underhooks. I'm just trying to get my arms around that. Good for Mike Lee shredding this complete imbecile in front of the country. You know nothing about nothing about your own investigation, but now you're here to give us your opinion on an investigation you know nothing about. Just to be clear, Jim. Come on, that's a double.

At least a double. Do the right thing there. you got to step up with that that's a definite double mutley minimum we haven't had a mutley you know that's good i like mutley it's but we need one mutley a week that's a double mutley minimum like i said we've only had like one or two four mutleys a few threes a double though that's very good very still good all right i'm gonna i got one more thing on Comey. I got the great Tom Elliott over at Grabian, who we love,

had put together for us a super cut of Comey not knowing anything about anything, but then speculating when it comes to bashing Trump. I'm going to get to that in a second. Let me get to my third sponsor. I always appreciate your patience.

These are great companies that like to be here and talk to you. Is that, are those the empanadas in the air? Did you just sneak that in there? So we use this thing. We love it. We got it in the mail. It's become our new go-to. I love, you know, my, I don't know if you know this, but I love chicken nuggets. I know it's, you would think like, hey, my show does good. Dan Bongino's show makes a decent amount of dough, right? You know, he clearly eats like foie gras. No, I don't eat any fancy stuff. I eat basically turkey sandwiches and chicken nuggets all day because I love them. And my wife's incredible empanadas. And that's why we use

this Power Air Fryer. There they are. They're the empanadas. Those are actually made in this product here. What is it? You need to use a bunch of different kitchen appliances, a toaster, air fryer, a grill, a deep fryer, et cetera. That's why I'm really stoked about our new partner. They have excited, but I'm not excited. I'm stoked. I love this thing. We use it every day. The PowerXL air fryer grill. You can replace eight kitchen appliances with the PowerXL. It's an air fryer. That's what I use for the nuggets. I love nuggets. A grill, rotisserie, convection oven, pizza oven. We've used that. Griddle, deep fryer, and toaster oven all in one. The PowerXL cooks with hot air, not oil. So you can cook healthier, which does matter to me, with up to 70% fewer calories from fat. The food comes out fantastic. You cook for the whole family. It fits

over four times more food than a traditional air fryer and cooks much faster, saves me a bunch of time. I'm always in a time crunch. You can even char grill and air fry at the same time. Enjoy fried foods without the guilt that comes with it. It also comes with a ton of accessories like a nonstick grill plate, crisper tray, baking pan, dip tray, and oven rack. They're all dishwasher safe, so cleanup's super easy. It's almost like they sat down, thought about all the problems with cooking appliances, and decided to solve them. That's why it's the number one brand of air fryers in the US. We love it. We love it. We got it before I knew they were a sponsor. True story.

Again, hat tip, Tom Elliott over at Grabian. Here is a one-minute montage of a dopey Jim, seven feet tall pile of human garbage, who seems to think the president's a Russian traitor, despite not knowing anything about his own investigation, proving the opposite, telling everyone he doesn't know nothing about nothing. Is that a Sergeant Schultz thing, Joe? Nothing ever. He don't know nothing. Nothing. Check this out. nothing nothing check this out did mr page deny knowing people that you accuse him of having contact with i don't remember that's about all i recall i don't remember i don't remember learning anything additional about steel sources not that i recall no i don't remember or ever giving me here i don't recall that so do you recall i do not do you recall i do not i don't remember ever giving me. I don't recall that. So do you recall? I do not.

Do you recall? I do not. I don't remember any discussion. I don't remember using that word, but I don't remember using that word. I don't remember ever being informed. I don't recall being informed of that. Did you ask any questions or do any due diligence on this at all? I don't remember anything about the facts that have been revealed recently about the subsource.

I don't remember the exact words, but something similar. That doesn't ring bells with me. Okay. Well, that's a pretty stunning thing. It didn't ring a bell. Which I'm sure you remember. I don't remember the exact words. I don't remember whether I knew the Democratic Party. I don't know for sure. I don't know. I don't think I knew before. I remember reading the footnote. I don't know whether I asked. I don't know what that refers to.

As I said earlier, that does not ring any bells with me when I read that. I don't remember it. I don't know whether I asked. I don't know what that refers to. As I said earlier, that does not ring any bells with me when I read that. I don't remember it. I don't remember receiving anything that's described in that letter. You know, Mr. Comey, I call that selective memory. Again, can we go back to our multiple choice options? Either Jim Comey is the single dumbest human being to ever take his rump and plant it in the FBI director's chair, or he is a sociopathic, pathological liar of the highest order, or C, all of the above. C. I mean, is this for real? So just to be clear, the president of the United States

was framed for the most dastardly of crimes, being a Russian agent. A full colonoscopy of the president in his entire campaign reveals nothing. We now find out, on record, Hillary made it up, notified the FBI director, and the guy gets a pass

because he just doesn't know. He just doesn't know anything. I mean, this man is, you understand, a stain on humankind. He's not a stain on the country. He's a stain on humankind. He is one of the worst human beings I have ever seen in my life. No dignity, no courage, no honor, no code. I'm not kidding about the code, by the way. I'm a guy. I can only speak for myself. We have this guy code thing. And it's things you

just don't do. You know what you don't do? You don't do Jim Comey. Ever. Remember that Nike ad? Bo knows. There should be a new one. Comey doesn't know anything. Ever. Disgusting.

Well, Jim, how about we read you in so we can remind you of all your mistakes? No, no, I don't want to be reminded. All right, moving on. Hey, what I like to do here on the show, it's going to be my little bit more debate slash election coverage, is I really don't like lies and fake narratives and I don't like repeating them, you know, like the collusion hoax and stuff. So what I do is I like to turn around those narratives and point out how when the Democrats are accusing you of something, they're typically doing it themselves. So the Democrats are now accusing President Trump, of course, during the debate of refusing to disavow white

supremacists. A fake, totally fake lie made up. Read the transcript. It's just false, fake, invented human garbage pile stuff. So the hat tip Reagan battalion on social media. so the hat tip Reagan battalion on social media, Reagan battalion put together this montage. And I want to contrast this with why now, excuse me, why the Democrats are accusing president Trump of being involved with, uh, or not refusing,

uh, refusing to refute white supremacy. It's because Joe Biden actually has a problem with actual white supremacists we'll get to next so now what we're going to do is we're going to take this narrative folks you know how we like to do this right remember the wazoo we don't know where the wazoo is but we can guess i have an idea with them we're going to take their narrative and ram it right up their wazoo you want to talk about white supremacists? Okay, let's have that conversation. But first, let's have the conversation about

what has Trump done to fully condemn white supremacists? Well, let's go to the videotape and just check what he's done. Hat tip Reagan battalion, play this cut. Reject David Duke, rejected David Duke. I've rejected the KKK. Do you want white supremacists to vote for you? No, I don't at all. Not at all.

Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals. And I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists. They spoke out forcefully against hatred, bigotry and violence and strongly condemned the neo- You must condemn racism, bigotry and violence. And strongly condemned. Must condemn racism, bigotry, and white. Any group of hate. I don't like it. Any group of hate. I am whether it's.

The Ku Klux Klan. I totally disavow David Duke. But let's ask him, Joe. But let's ask him for a 57 000th time 57 672.6 let's ask him again to condemn what he's condemned why are you doing this because you're media people and you just can't get enough with these phony efforts to tar trump with the racist label despite no evidence any of it's true, like the collusion hoax. But why are people, it's wazoo time, wazoo.

Let's take that white supremacist question. This is, by the way, a wink and a nod to conservative media. We really should be asking that question of Joe Biden. Joe Biden has a really big problem with white supremacists. Oh my gosh, you can't say that. I don't have to say it. It's true. Joe Biden has spoke highly of exalted Cyclops man in the KKK. I didn't even know that was a thing. But Hogan Gidley, one of President Trump's excellent communication folks, went on CNN yesterday and

finally started taking these people to the woods. You know, CNN, part of the Biden campaign. And John Berman, who's absolutely hapless, pretends to be a news guy, but can't even get out of his own way. Hogan Gidley finally started taking this question to them. We're not going to answer the white supremacist question anymore. It's obvious they're morons. Everybody hates them. We're not going to answer the white supremacist question anymore. It's obvious they're morons. Everybody hates them. Trump has refuted them a thousand times, six different ways from Sunday. You're only asking it to create a fake controversy about a question you already know the answer to. Let's start asking the question to Joe Biden. Watch. This is just, this is fantastic. Hogan Gidley, CNN yesterday. Do you have any idea, John, what an exalted cyclops of the KKK is? Because Joe Biden sure does.

He spoke at a funeral for one and praised him profusely. Any idea who George Wallace is? Joe Biden sure does. Yeah, he thanked the person who gave him the award for George Wallace's name. Any idea what a racial jungle is? It's what Joe Biden doesn't want his kids to grow up in. Joe Biden's record on race is absolutely disgusting. Donald Trump was opening up his properties to African-Americans and Jewish people while you were still in local television news, John.

The fact is this president has a record of respect and understanding these groups like nobody else. I'm sorry, I'm not going to sit here and let you call the president of the United States a racist. Joe Biden can defend his own record. He is the only one. Joe Biden can defend his own record. He can defend his own record with CNN refuses to report. Remember this one, Joe? Oh, there's a flag.

Holding. It's holding 15 yards. I'll get a million. 15 yards. Biden campaign. Good. Finally. Finally. is holding 15 yards 50 i'll get a million he was 15 yards biden campaign good finally finally you want to ask this question again of trump for the umpteenth thousandth time here's the answer how do you feel about white supremacists mr trump they suck like i've told

you a thousand times have you asked that question of b Biden who spoke at an exalted Cyclops's funeral? Is it Cyclopsies? I don't even know. What's the plural of that? For a Ku Klux Klan member? Have you asked Joe about that? Folks, ladies and gentlemen, go to the internet. Search that.

Joe Biden, Robert Byrd's funeral, exalted Cyclops. Is that not a fair question? I'm reasonably confident that if you're an exalted Cyclops, I didn't even know it was a title by the way, in the Ku Klux Klan, what kind of structure do they have? You're a Cyclops and an exalted Cyclops? He's spoken in exalted Cyclops' funeral. I'm reasonably confident if you're in the Ku Klux Klan, exalted Cyclops's funeral. I'm reasonably confident if you're in the Ku Klux Klan, you're probably a loser. You're probably a zero. Everybody probably hates you, the same people, and you probably shouldn't have Joe Biden speaking at your funeral.

And I'm going to venture to say, Joe, I'm reasonably confident this is true, that if you're an exalted Cyclops in the Ku Klux Klan, you're probably a white supremacist too. I'm just throwing that out there. Joe confirms. We're good on that. But don't ask Joe Biden about

that. John Berman. Hogan? Hogan? Hogan? Hogan? John Berman's terrified. Oh my gosh, Hogan Gidley's Hogan. Hogan. John Berman's terrified. Oh my gosh. Hogan Gidley's telling the truth on CNN. Wazoo time. Come on, man. Take their BS narratives right up to Wazoo.

Wazoo. That's how you beat them at this game. Exactly what Hogan Gidley did yesterday. White America, Black America, Hispanic America, Asian America, Muslim America, Jewish America. Look that up. Joe Biden's.

Joe Biden's words about an exalted cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan. That's a conspiracy theory. Really? Use the internet. Figure out how much of a conspiracy theory

that really is. All right. I got another sponsor and I still got a couple more things together, including yesterday, a little follow-up to yesterday's show and and the officially the worst fact check in the history of fact checks ever this what you may be like no way we've already had some bad ones like when we quoted nancy pelosi literally with quotations and a fact check the quote she said this is even worse

today's uh final sponsor good friends at patriot mobile leftist corporations like verizon have empowered radicals to tear our country apart by funding their efforts most recently sending 10 million al sharpton and others started with impeachment then exploiting the pandemic followed by violent riots and now they're threatening violence over filling the vacant seat on the supreme court ridiculous Ridiculous.

Liberal fact checks become a joke, sadly. If it's not done by a conservative site, you can disregard it. It's really an opinion piece. Call the fact check to make you believe they're actually checking something that's a fact. It's a fact.

They're just not checking it. They're writing their opinion on it. We've had bad experiences with this on Fakebook and elsewhere. But this goes down as the absolute worst fact check in the history of the cosmos, not just in the United States. So we all know, obviously, Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed, passed, was it Friday? Was it a week ago? But she passed and they're now looking at filling the seat.

You still have some remembrance ceremonies going on. So National Review has this article up. I mean, we all know Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed, right? Does anybody not know that at this point? I mean, you don't have to even consume the news. It's been everywhere. So National Review has this piece. You got to read this in the show notes. Dan McLaughlin, the stupidest fact check in the history of fact checking. And seriously, I think Dan's being nice. He may be understating how stupid this is. So the Babylon Bee, stupid this is. So the Babylon Bee, the Babylon Bee, which is a satire site like the onion,

the Babylon Bee ran a headline. Here's the headline. The Ninth Circuit Court overturns death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, September 21st, 2020. I'm not making light of any, it's obviously satire. You know, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the nutty ninth, which overturns everything all the time, as long as it's not liberal. It's a satire headline. The Ninth Circuit Court did not overturn the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Somebody actually fact-checked this headline.

This is not a joke. They actually fact-checked. This is real. From the National Review piece, I'm not kidding, by Dan McLaughlin. A week later, USA Today found it necessary for some reason to publish a fact-check of this headline by fact checker Chelsea Cox, who should really leave public life tomorrow after this. Entitled, Fact Check, satirical claim that the Ninth Circuit overturned Ginsburg's death. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg,

who died of metastatic pancreatic cancer September 18th, is actually alive, the article suggests. is actually alive, the article suggests. Oh my gosh. Because the Ninth Circuit overturned her death. Cox went on for over 800 words, listing 15 sources in order to conclude that their rating on the fact check, Joe, this is satire. Ruth Bader Ginsburg actually did pass.

Holy smokes. And we should again be allowing these lunatics and the left-wing media and fact-checkers and CBS to mute President Trump's microphone. Can we mute Chelsea Cox? Did you really fall for this? You thought that was an actual headline that the Ninth Circuit overturned her death?

fall for this? You thought that was an actual headline that the Ninth Circuit overturned her death? How that slid past an editor is stunning to me. Hasn't been the greatest day for me, but I needed this. Sometimes I have to break the show up because I know this is

a lot of heavy stuff to throw at you at once. All right. I want to follow up with yesterday's show. Yesterday's show, I broke the news and we've covered it a little bit today that summed up simply Hillary Clinton invented the collusion hoax. We now know that because the information has been declassified. The FBI knew it. Jim Comey's pretending he doesn't. The Russians knew it, therefore knew they had a vehicle to impact our election because Hillary Clinton

was looking for fake information about Trump's relationship to Russia, which the Russians were happy to oblige. Meaning there was collusion on the record now between Trump, no, no, not Trump, between Hillary Clinton's team and the Russians. Again, accusing us of exactly what they did. It kind of seems like a bombshell,

right? Well, I walked you through yesterday and yesterday's show, and I encourage you to watch it again if you can, especially the segment I did on this, that I thought of an easy way to sum this up. And I said to Paul, I think the best way to explain Obama's role in this is to say, well, Obama wanted this to happen. He wanted Hillary to run with the collusion hoax for Trump because he hated Trump, wanted to make sure Hillary won. And he's Obama, the most corrupt president in the history of the United States. That's what he does. So I said, the best way to go through this is to say, well, if you at home listening to my show, if you were Obama, how would you make sure the collusion hoax got drilled into the public psyche and they believed a stupid hoax like Trump is colluding with Russia? And on yesterday's show, I walked through the steps. And in the last step,

I said, one of the things I would do if I were a corruptocrat like Obama trying to push the collusion hoax into the mainstream, is I would release a presidential policy directive right around the time I found out what Hillary was doing. And I would hint in that directive about the Russians hacking the DNC. Because why? Because they're later going to blame that on Trump. That's the collusion hoax, right? Well, look at this.

We saw this during yesterday's show. Here it is. Presidential Policy Directive 41 released when? On July 26, 2016. The same day we know John Brennan briefs Obama about Hillary's collusion hoax. And shockingly, they mentioned, non-shockingly really, the DNC hack folks, air quotes. Well, what's fascinating about this, again, thinking Obama, getting Obama's head if you can, I know it's troubling, weird, but getting his head for a minute. If you're trying to help Hillary

make a Russian collusion hoax look real, one of the best ways to do it is to release this very serious policy directive about hacking, because later on that hack or alleged hack is what they're going to use to blame trump trump and the russians hacked into the dnc you get it everybody dig here's what's weird and this is in my this is a big chapter in my book which it's coming you order it now it'll get to your head it's coming out this tuesday so it's effectively available now amazon barnes and noble and elsewhere my new book follow the money i have a whole chapter on this. Because amazingly, the guy in charge of implementing this presidential policy directive is a very interesting figure who's managed to escape almost any oversight in the Spygate scandal at all. Let's check this guy out.

So he left the FBI. He was an FBI agent. His name is Anthony Ferrante. He went to go work for a company called FDI Consulting. This is from their website. Prior to joining FDI Consulting, Ferrante served as cyber incident response at the National Security Council. He also led the development and implementation of Presidential Policy Directive 41. Interesting. That thing we just talked about that was conveniently launched right around the same time Obama's learning about Hillary's collusion hoax.

So now let's get out of Obama's head. How do we advance the collusion hoax and make idiots believe it's real? Let's do policy directives and things like that. Now the question becomes, once they were exposed and Trump shockingly won the election, they had to cover it up. So how would you do that? Well, I'll tell you the first place I'd go, Joe. I'd make sure the FBI guy who was in charge of implementing presidential policy directive 41, I'd make sure we wrangled him right quick, right? Mm hmm. 41 i'd make sure we wrangled him right quick right so where does this fbi agent uh anthony ferrante who's managed to escape scrutiny in this where does he wind up after trump shocks the world

and wins the election and they're all like oh we got to cover this up let's look at this headline from foreign policy magazine, whatever it is. Former senior FBI official is now leading BuzzFeed's effort to verify the Trump dossier. Anthony Ferrante coordinated the U.S. government's response to Russian election interference. Now he's helping a new site defend itself from a Russian billionaire's lawsuit. What does that sound like to you? I used to work in key food on Metropolitan Avenue. And whenever we had a spill, you'd have the clean up file five, get them up, Dan.

I was more than happy to do that. I don't want people to slip and fall. Sounds kind of like the guy you had in charge of implementing your presidential policy directive about hacking you were going to later blame on Trump. Sounds like you don't want him to be a loose cannon. So it's weird how he then goes out after he leaves the FBI and we find out the dossier is fake to work for BuzzFeed to verify the dossier everybody knew was fake. Sounds like a cleanup on aisle five, doesn't it? And who better to get involved than the guy who's already involved, the point man on PPD 41. You may say, ah, Dan, Ferrante may have just been looking for a few bucks after he left

the FBI. It's awfully convenient. Worked for FBI consulting. Next thing you know, he's verifying the dossier that couldn't be verified because it's fake. You can't verify fake stuff. Maybe he's just looking to make a few bucks. Maybe it wasn't a cleanup operation. Well, who better as a cleanup artist

if you can act as a mole too? Wow, there's nothing better than cleaning up a mess you made when you still have access to the mess you made after President Trump takes office. How did that happen? Let's look at this Washington Examiner piece. Comey's inside man at the White House emerges as DOJ Inspector General finalizes FISA abuse report by the great Dan Shaitlan and Jerry Dunleavy, Washington Examiner. This is from July of 2019.

Comey had an inside man at the White House? After President Trump took office while they're trying to clean up the dossier mess, Comey claims to know nothing about. Oh, yes, he did. Oh, yeah. Wouldn't it be really weird if that guy was Ferrante? Yeah. The same guy implementing PPD 41, who's also trying to clean up the dossier for BuzzFeed. Wouldn't that be very weird?

It would be. So let's see if it's in fact that guy, how weird this really is. Screenshot from the Washington Examiner piece. Anthony Ferrante, there he is again. Longtime FBI official who worked on the National Security Council. Officials said Ferrante was working in the White House even while the FBI held him on reserve status.

All the while, he was sharing information about Trump and his aides back to FBI headquarters. Oh, dude. Wow. Clean up aisle five and I get to share the whole cleanup details with the manager of the supermarket. Isn't this great? What a deal.

So we're in Obama's head first. How do we do this? How do we make the collusion hoax seem real? I walk you through that. Now, how would we clean it up? Gee, I'd get an inside guy to make sure he stays on with the Trump administration to get all the deets about what they're looking at and then clean them up for BuzzFeed later, who's investigating the fake dossier.

Wouldn't it also be weird if after you left the FBI and you're not on the National Security Council anymore because you've left the FBI, that the person who replaced you, another deep stater, actually signed you back into the White House, even though you don't work at the White House or the FBI anymore, that would be very strange, wouldn't it, Joe?

Really weird, yeah. Surely that didn't happen. Well, let's check with Dan Chaitlin and Jerry Dunleavy. Did that happen? Yes, it did, of course, or I wouldn't have brought it up. Ferrante was replaced in the White House by another FBI official, Jordan Ray Kelly, who signed security logs for Ferrante to enter the White House while he was contracted by BuzzFeed. Kelly left the White House last year and also joined FDI Consulting where Ferrante worked. I mean, assuredly,

this is just a series. This is a liminy snickets and a series of unfortunate events, right? It's all just coincidence. Clean up, aisle five. You want to sign me back into the White House? Got to see what they're doing there. Sure, buddy, no problem. All right, I have more stuff, but i want to get this one last thing so now we know how obama did it we know how they tried to clean it up how comey kept this point man inside the white house

to see what the white house was trying to clean up the mess the bomber left them but i mentioned to you a while ago, hat tip 279, one of my great sources on this case, that I thought it was weird a few weeks ago, John Brennan wrote an op-ed. And John Brennan, whenever John Brennan writes anything on Twitter or elsewhere, but Brennan is always cryptic, John Brennan,

Obama's former CIA director, always cryptic about his role in marshalling this whole operation to spy on Trump, right? Now, what did I tell you opening up this segment yesterday and today? That on July 26th of 2016, that is the date we now know Brennan briefs Obama on Hillary's plan to frame Trump with the fake collusion notes. Remember the date, July 26th. We now know that.

We know Brennan did that because we have his notes. And I said to you a few weeks ago, because I was tipped off by a great source, that I thought it was awfully odd in the Washington Post that the relatively cryptic John Brennan, who never mentioned specifics, wrote this in the Washington Post. He never writes specifics. Here's the op-ed. August 31st, 2020. John Brennan, Trump will suffocate the intelligence community to get reelected. But if you go down in the piece, John Brennan, who never, ever mentioned specifics on anything,

was very careful about a date. He says he briefed Obama. Look. he briefed Obama. Look. He says, but on the afternoon of July 28th, 2016, I informed Obama in a hurriedly scheduled

meeting that President Putin had authorized his intelligence services to carry out activities to hurt Clinton and boost the election prospects of Donald Trump. You see what he's doing there? Brennan clearly got wind that his July 26th meeting with Obama was going to be declassified and get out because they have his notes. So what does he do?

I warned you about this weeks ago. He preemptively writes an op-ed in the Washington Post where he does a misdirection. It says, no, no, it was July 28th. Because why? He's throwing everybody under the bus. Because July 26th is the same day as the presidential policy directive. And also in that same timeframe, we see Christopher Steele's dossier appear. So Brennan trying to throw a monkey wrench into the machinery is trying to confuse everyone. And he says, no, no, July 28th, because he doesn't want anybody pinning him down to that presidential policy directive on July 26th or the Oval Office meeting with Obama. He wants to pretend he didn't know nothing about nothing. No, no, that was two days later,

I briefed Obama, two days later. He's a liar. He's a liar. That's why he did that. I told you about this right when the op-ed came out. He never talks in specifics. Why was he doing it then? Now you know why. All right, folks, thanks again for tuning in. Thanks again for all your kind emails. I really appreciate it. We'll be okay. It's tough to deal with a lot of bad news today for me. I was hoping for some specificity myself, but I'll keep you updated on the schedule. Thanks so much for tuning in. The show has just been going bonkers.
