all are my uh psychologists out there but the fall scene around the world yesterday i've got a different perspective on this some may like it some may not but I'm always here to tell you the truth, unlike the goons in the media. And the situation may be worse than you think. I can tell by the way they responded. Don't go anywhere. Today's going to be stacked. A few decades ago, private citizens used to be largely that.

Private. Remember the good old days? Well, what changed? Well, the internet changed. Think about everything you browse, search for, watched, or tweeted.

All right, big show. So let's go. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Time out, John. Yes. Friday! Damn it. I blew your it's Friday. that's cool sorry buddy cut up that's a that's a damn

stain on my soul forever we work we work together bro that's that's cool yeah i know but that's not cool i know it's friday too how the hell do i mess that we've only had one show where there was no it's friday it was a really bad something really people got pissed off too i think yeah yeah yeah they did they wanted to hear it but i that was an executive decision joe had to make so just quickly before you got a couple personal beasts i got airing today show there's a talkers conference going on which is like the talk radio convention it's pretty cool thing if you're in the business you've been there so larry o'connor at wmal who is a radio host and i say that term uh lightly This guy cannot get me out of his head.

He's up at this conference. This is the guy, by the way, he works at the same radio company I do, and just want to show you what this business is about, why it makes me want to throw up sometimes. This guy's a ham and egg or tomato can host, right? He's never been able to crack it as far as I know in this business, right? He wants to be a nationwide guy and he can't. So he's at this talkers conference this morning and he decides again, because he didn't do anything about this vaccine mandate at the radio company. Remember my fight with them? I finally get them to overturn this thing. If they're fighting for a year and a half, if this guy crapped on me the whole time and did nothing, and he's talking about me again this morning. If you get involved in this business, I'm telling you, people you think you are, I'm telling you, relaxium lady stuff. People you think are on your team, folks, I'm

warning you now, are not. They are not on your team. They are quietly envious and their lives revolve around shitting on other people. That's just the way it is, man. It's just a damn shame that my relationship with the company always gets screwed up by morons within the company who destroy the company. I swear they got to be there to sabotage the place. Enough about that. I got another point about that later, but I got to get to important stuff first. Ladies and gentlemen, the fall scene around the world. I mean, at this point, it's obvious. The man is cognitively impaired. Does anybody doubt that anymore? The guy is cognitively impaired. There's a lot to talk about here. First,

I'm going to play the clip and I'm going to play ABC. ABC, of course, had to go to what? The Republicans pounce right away. You'll see Biden. He's given a speech at the Air Force Academy. He goes to run off the stage. I'm going to explain what I think happened here. This is a really bad fall. I wish any, it's not funny. The guy falling, he could have cracked his head. Seriously. The guy could have died. I mean, it's not, it's, it's not funny. It's just the guy has his hands on the nuclear codes and he, this is not the first time this has happened. This is multiple times. Listen to ABC and make sure you try to catch the Republicans pouncing here.

I think she just says Republicans pounce. Take a listen. Interacting with the crowd shortly after that fall, but given voters concerns about the president's age, this is an image that his critics are already capitalizing on and pouncing on. Donald Trump was quick to weigh in on this. But David, the bottom line tonight, the White House says the president simply tripped and he is doing well. Now, they didn't say that when Trump walked down a ramp slowly because he didn't want to fall.

It's like Trump, he's cognitively impaired. Multiple times now, this guy has fallen. You want to give this guy another five plus years in office? Are you insane? This is not the first time. By the way, I feel bad for the graduate saluting in front who, you know, for the rest of his life will be the guy in a video where Biden's, would you see him? Poor kid.

I feel bad for him. Now, Biden's got this habit because Biden has this false sense of bravado that he's this really cool aviator, Tom Cruise, maverick like figure. He's not. He's a goon. He's a coward. He's a liar. And he's a chump.

He's always been a chump. But he's got this false sense of bravado. He always has to do this thing. And this is where he gets in trouble, where he decides he's going to do this thing and this is where he gets in trouble where he decides he's going to start skipping like a 20 year old like to show you how vibrant and resilient he is watch him do it this is what got him in trouble watch him do it here he gets back to the white house and they ask him a question about falling tripping over the sandbag and i want you to catch him he does this all the time it is cringy You guys see what I'm talking about?

He does it here. Let me get it. I'll show you folks. He goes, does the day. My, I got that hurt me. I'm 48.

I'm like, Oh shit. My hamstring. I'm 48. Stop. Just stop. We get it. You don't have to pretend you're Carl Lewis in the 84 Olympics.

Stop. He is. Oh yeah. Yes. I'm missing the word. Thank you. He, in the 84 Olympics. Stop. He is over. Yes, I'm missing the word. Thank you. He said it right, Joe. The guy has to overcompensate. Oh, yeah. Someone says, hey, look, you got a small wiener.

And he like whips out. We don't need to see it. We don't need to see it. Just stop running around. You're 80 years old. Just stop. Okay, watch the video. You'll see what I mean.

That's that bad. You're 80 years old Just stop Okay Watch the video See what I mean Just stop Just stop doing this It's embarrassing Just get off the helicopter Sorry I tripped It was embarrassing folks Wasn't my best day See you all tomorrow I got a sandbag

Running like an idiot. The guy's 80. Stop running around. He guts on a bike. He falls. He runs around. He falls back at the White House. The guy falls everywhere. Just stop running around. just stop running around. He is clearly not all there. Now, why is this a bigger issue? All right. This is where I'm going to give you some analysis. You're not going to hear anywhere else. First, I'll give you the positive and then the negative. I mean, for him, not for you, but because he is the president. We don't want these people around the world seeing this guy falling all over. They're all watching this too. It's a national security issue. Don't laugh. I'm dead serious. This is a freaking national security issue. Everybody's watching this buffoon. If you're a P1 listener in the chat, if you're a P1 in there,

let me hear you in the chat. If you heard me talk about sandbags with the Secret Service before, Joe, no. Joe and I have had this conversation probably 50 times. I did this for a living for 12 years. I've mentioned this story probably 20, 30 times. It's relevant now. Biden tripped on a sandbag. Sandbags are all over the place in the Secret Service. They're two-sided sand. It's like a sandbag sandwich almost, right?

There's two big chunks, and then in the middle, there's a connector, right? So you can fold it. Why? Because the sandbags are heavy. And what we do with them is to hold down bike rack and teleprompters. Like, you'll see there's a teleprompter there. If you go watch the video again, you'll see it. What is that? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Look. Look at this key, man. This is it. How did you? Oh, this is heavy. Why do you have this? For stands. My stands and stuff you? Oh, this is heavy. Why do you have this? For stands. My stands. Watch.

Dude, this thing is seriously like 20 pounds. You see how it looks like a sandwich? This part here goes on the tripod to hold the tripod down for the teleprompter. Here's your sandbag.

Oh, shit. Sorry. Sorry, folks.. Here's your sandbag. Oh, shit. Sorry. Sorry, folks. Tripped over the sandbag. What the? Stop the show. The show's over. I'm kidding.

I kid. You seen the sandbag. You know what I'm talking about. It's a problem in the Secret Service because they're everywhere. And what happens is they slide down. So when you're working a rope line in the Secret Service, right, what they tell you to do is because you're usually doing it at bike, there's bike rack there, you know, where you put the bikes.

They put the sandbags on the other side by the crowd because someone always trips over the sandbag. So you don't want it. I'm sorry if you've heard this story before, but you don't want it on the side the president's walking on. You want it on the other side. So if someone's going to trip, I hate to say it, it's going to be people, not the president. So what I think happened here, because if you're following me, they never put the sandbag on the side the president's going to walk. Because they don't want him to trip.

Do you see where I'm going with this? I don't think he was supposed to walk in that direction. Matter of fact, I'm almost positive he wasn't supposed to walk there. You know how the president is always getting lost on stage, Biden? He's always pointing. Look, where do I go? You ever notice he's always,

we played these videos 10, 15 times? Only every week he gets lost on stage. I'm almost positive that, yes, he tripped on a sandbag. Yeah, so that story's accurate. Don't, you know, don't believe the other folks saying, oh, yeah, he probably legitimately tripped. But he tripped because I am almost positive he was not supposed to be there. And he did the thing again where he gets up and he walks. Can you play it again?

Watch the video again. Cue up the ABC video. I want you to watch it again now. He's not supposed to go. Watch the way the SAC, the special agent in charge, responds. He comes out from behind the armor. That's armor there. You see that little wall? That's armor. That armor and something around it is being held down by the sandbag. My guess is he was not supposed to go there. He was supposed to walk in a different direction. And because he never remembers

where he's supposed to go and he has this relentless tendency to want to run and jog everywhere to overcompensate, he fell on his ass again. The sandbags are on the non-walking side all the time. You don't walk into a sandbag because you don't walk there. The guy doesn't know where he's going. That's the problem ever. Every single time, excuse me, every time he doesn't know where he's going. Now, because I've, I'm sorry. Self praise stinks. I totally get it. Thank you for the tips,

but you don't have to do that. But thank you in the chat. That's very nice of you. You don't have to do it, but I appreciate it. Who is that? Listen, forgive me for beating this story to death, but because I've done this for 10 years of my life and I know that tripping on sandbags is a pretty regular thing, I tweeted this out. Look at the time. The time is important. At 5.21 p.m. yesterday, June 1st,

they're getting ready to blame the Secret Service. These goons are shameless. More on my show tomorrow, which 1st. They're getting ready to blame the Secret Service. These goons are shameless. More on my show tomorrow, which is today. No less than what? 40 minutes later, here's lefty Ed Krasenstein. I've tripped on things much smaller than the sandbag at least 20 times in my life. Biden tripped on a sandbag one time and he's 80.

The Secret Service is most responsible for this. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Dan Bargino is right again. I can, I'm telling you, I knew it. I knew they were going to blame the Secret Service. I'm telling you with that near certainty. He was not supposed to be there. Tried to do his little overcompensating jog.

Because he did, he tripped where he wasn't supposed to be. And what do they do? Even though the Secret Service probably told them, don't go there, they blame the Secret Service anyway. Why? Because they're slime. They're scum. That's why.

And this Krasenstein guy, listen, this is supposed to be a parody video. So I'll give them the pass on that. But here's the same Krasenstein guys. They're saying this is a parody. And if you watch the whole video, it seems it is. But there's always a bit of truth in parody. Here's this Krasenstein guy on this video they put out.

You can watch the whole thing on YouTube. It's supposed to be a joke or something saying, oh, yeah, we're paid to post this stuff. Which seems really weird because the talking points seem to come out right away. Again, they claim this whole thing is parody. So check this out. Is that your job? i have several businesses but you know the resistance is a really good group of people that spread throughout the country probably throughout the world i mean it's just kind of it's just what i enjoy spending my time doing and and of course we get paid you know of course there's a higher ups pay us so so you're

you're paid for this it's not just like something you do because for your love of country yeah i mean they uh people pay us uh they they want us to help sew the division and to to take over trump's twitter feed when he makes a post they want our tweets to be up there. They don't want, they don't want other people to like Trump supporters to be seen. I mean, they say it's parody, give him a pass on it or whatever. It's at the point.

The point is these guys got the talking points immediately and they know people go out and blame the secret service, even though they had nothing to do with it. Now, this is really ironic. The irony of this is when Trump walked down a ramp, do you remember this? He walked down a ramp at a,

I believe it was a commencement address, and he walked down the ramp slowly. He had leather-soled shoes on. The ramp was a little bit moist, and you can fall and fall quite easily on there. So Trump walked down gingerly because he didn't want to fall. Now, Trump didn't fall, but he did walk down the ramp gingerly.

Trump's a pretty vibrant guy. No one questions his, you know, despite the fact he doesn't work out and allegedly eats McDonald's and steak with ketchup, he's in pretty good shape. He golfs. He does his thing. I mean, I wouldn't call the guy a bodybuilder, but he doesn't seem to have any issue walking around. Here is Chris Sillizzo on CNN and one of the most hilarious 45 second clips you're ever

going to see when Trump was walking down the stairs. Nobody wants to talk about Biden now. This is like the fifth or sixth time he's fallen on his face that you know about, by the way. Everybody picking up what I'm putting down. That you know about. And nobody wants to talk about his mental health. Trump walks down a ramp and you get this. Check this out.

Donald Trump is 74 years old. Obviously, his birthday was on Sunday. He's the oldest person ever elected to a first term as president. Two, we know so little about Donald Trump's past medical history. Remember, this is someone who the entirety of his medical history was a 2015 letter by his personal doctor saying that he would be the most physically fit person ever to be president. A letter, I'll note, that the doctor has since said was dictated to him by Donald Trump. So we just have very little to go on. And when you have those two things and you add it to the fact that Donald Trump, whether it's Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton, makes the mental and physical health of his Democratic opponents an issue. He did it today. He said that Joe Biden was shot and weak.

That's what I think what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Thank you, Chad. The TNN, there's another TNN hit with the embarrassing Chris Silliza doing a 50 second riff on the mental health of Donald Trump. I mean, are we going to hear the same commentary about the obviously cognitively compromised Joe Biden? By the way, here's Chris Silliza. Thank you, Guy, for underlying that. Washington Post, October 24th, 2016, right before the 2016 election. Donald Trump's chances of winning are approaching zero.

That's a good call. Good call, Chris. That worked out great for you. This guy's quite the prognosticator. He did a bang-up job on that. Hillary Clinton fainted. Nobody cared. Fainted. The Secret Service had to catch her. Nobody cared. Pointing out the hypocrisy is irrelevant. They don't really care. It's all about power to them. We know that. power to them. We know that. But just to wrap this segment up, I got a lot more. I got a funny one coming up for you next, though. It's Friday. I got some good stuff for you. You ever see Jim Brewer? This is like, Joe, you cut this. This is freaking hilarious. I play the whole thing for you. But I got about a minute of it. You're going to love it. Stay tuned. Trump responded all class

yesterday. My man Trump on Joe Biden's catastrophic fall yesterday. Check this out. He's at the Air Force Academy. He actually fell down. Well, I hope he wasn't hurt. I hope he wasn't hurt. But the whole thing is, look, the whole thing is crazy. You got to be careful about that. You got to be careful about that because you don't want that. Even if you have to tiptoe down a ramp, you got to tiptoe.

There's vintage Trump, man. Nobody does it like him when he's extemporaneous and off the cuff. Nobody. They just don't. Jim from the radio show and I were talking. We were on the air yesterday. We were chatting yesterday while I was on the air doing the radio show.

How when he's just off the cuff and being himself, he's the best out there. It's when he gets bogged down and when something gets in his head, he just can't get off It's when he gets bogged down and like when something gets in his head. Well, he just can't get off a topic that he gets hurt. But when that's just that's been to everyone else would have a focus group. That's the talking point. I hope he's OK, which I do.

I hope he's not not Trump. Got a tiptoe down the stairs, like bringing up his own. I can make it. Do you see how you do it? You see how when you're self-deprecating and you make fun of yourself, disarms people instead of biden going i got sam back instead of just coming on a little bit embarrassing wish i would have taken it wish i would take it i fall he can't do that biden because he constantly has to show you his crank hey look at me he's really big that's the kind of guy he is that's the kind of guy he is all right i got a funny clip coming up for you. And a serious story broke out of another, you know, the free speech argument is my thing, man.

Wise-ass. This kid's getting way, taking way too many liberties here. It's Justin's all of a sudden, like just randomly inserting himself in the show. That's funny though. He thinks Joe, we should send one to the White House for Biden. Maybe we'll tighten him up a little bit. Yeah, it's a good point, Justin. I like that. Okay, maybe we'll hire this guy full time. What do you think out of college?

He's going to go get another job. We're going to lose this guy. It's going to be a real shame. All right, man, are we already 22 minutes into the show? What the hell? You got to watch this. It's Friday. We don't usually do comedy stuff.

Hat tip Jim Brewer for this skit. This's Friday. We don't usually do comedy stuff. Hat tip Jim Brewer for this skit. This is hilarious. This is Jim Brewer, right? He's a comedian. He's really funny. He wakes up in the hospital after a procedure and he's very confused about what just happened. This is like a minute of this. And if this doesn't describe where we are with the media and the Democrats nothing does watch this and enjoy why is my rear end killing me we had to perform an emergency intercranial rectal removal and the worst part is this has been happening a lot this is the second time you've been in the hospital because your head has been up your ass. I need to ask you

something. Are you a Democrat? I was in the union about 20 years ago. Okay, okay. Slow down, slow down, slow down. We don't want that head to go back up there. All right. This happens a lot with liberals. Your beliefs and the way you vote affects the way your head relates with your butthole. And it'll just go right up there and block reality. But we've got to be loyal. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Shush, shush. It'll happen right as I'm sitting here.

It's not pleasant to watch. So I want you to take a look at this. That is the Constitution. Now look at it, read it, and that's going to affect the way you see the world. Welcome aboard. I'm also going to write you a prescription for a couple of old Ronald Reagan speeches. Chat tip, Jim Brewer. That is just...

Are you a Democrat? are you a democrat i gotta give a big hat tip to my uh physical therapist nick who sent that over my way thanks that was hilarious i love that thing all right a lot of let's get back to some serious stuff so yesterday let me give you the abstract version of what happened the daily wire ben shapiro matt walsh jeremy boring michael knolls candace owens you know the whole andrew claven you know the crew over there right matt Walsh did a movie under their banner called What Is a Woman? Where he went around asking a bunch of liberal activists what a woman is and they're all confused because they're idiots. I mean, they're leftists. I mean, they're like Jim Brewer with their heads up their ass. So they haven't had the procedure Jim had done. So Matt, and the movie did just bonkers numbers.

I mean, it was probably one of the most talked about movies put out by a conservative entity in a long time. So they were going to premiere the movie last night on Twitter. And I don't know the inside baseball because I don't work at the Daily Wire, but Jeremy put out on Twitter, so I assume it's public, that there was some agreement about how it was going to be put out there. Well, that agreement broke bad pretty fast because Elon Musk, if you read the Post Millennial, apparently in Twitter had some kind of an issue with it. Elon Musk calls suppression of what is a woman a mistake by many people at Twitter. So how is it suppressed?

Well, if you read the tweets by the Daily Wire, it appears that Twitter and Elon supposedly had some heads roll over this, which is a pretty good thing. And I think this morning they're trying to fix this. Again, I swear the guy's being sabotaged from inside his company. I'll say it over and over again that he's hinted at this multiple times. This guy, Elon, is clearly being sabotaged by people inside his company right now. I don't see any other way. The Daily Wire, if you put it out, it said visibility limited. This tweet may violate Twitter's rules against hateful conduct.

Asking people what a woman is? What is that? It gets even worse. He put the other one up. Elon said, we're updating the system tomorrow So that those who follow the Daily Wire Will see it in their feed But won't be recommended to non-followers Nor will any advertising be associated with it

Folks Listen man I've warned you guys about this a lot And I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this Because I have a significant financial interest And it's hard for me candidly to be objective It's hard It's not impossible but it's hard I am aly to be objective. It's hard. It's not impossible, but it's hard.

I am a equity holder in Rumble, a significant one. We never played this game. We have a clear terms of service rules. Can't break the law in there. You can't organize a terror attack on Rumble. We have very clear terms of service, but there is absolutely none of this nonsense that goes on over there. We're a free

speech platform. You can't sex traffic over there. You can't organize a terror attack. You can't go on and say, I'm going to kill a bunch of members of Congress. We're not going to let you do that either. We try to keep porn off it, but it is a free speech platform. And if you have an opinion on a matter, like there are two genders, which is scientifically accurate, your free speech home is rumble. And once you start doing this and aligning your values with the global disinformation index and others, these LGBTQIA, BIOPC interest groups that aren't interested in free speech, only their opinion is allowed. Your platform is going to be in real trouble. I think he's being sabotaged from the inside and getting really bad

advice, but you got to clean that up. And I just, I can't, again, I own a chunk of rumble disclosure on that. I can't emphasize to you in strong enough terms, you are safe over there. I can prove it to you. If the Daily Wire, I don't speak for their management, but if the Daily Wire or Rumbles, I'm done equity holder. I'm not a manager there. But if the Daily Wire puts that up there, there will be no restrictions on the film. We'll put it up on the homepage.

And if an LGBTQIABIOPC2 plus one spirit group wants to put out a movie called What a Woman Isn't, we'll put it up too. I'm dead serious. That's the whole way free speech works. You want to do a counter? Email me. I'll arrange for Rumble. I'll check in with them

and see if we can get that out there too. That way you can watch both movies and see who's crazy and who's not. Is this hard? It's only the way the United States worked forever, by the way. Speaking of which, because I'm interested in actual reporting. I told you about the sandbag thing in the beginning. I give you both sides.

I don't play bullshit political games here. People in the Secret Service protectees have tripped over sandbags for a long time. That's not unusual. Okay? I've given you both. The other side of it, I'm pretty sure Biden didn't know where he was going and walked into the sandbag where he wasn't supposed to be. You're not going to hear that anywhere else.

You're not going to hear this either. Did you see these Pelosi videos that popped from January 6th? This is from Just the News. They were released yesterday. I know Julie Kelly and Darren Beattie are doing amazing work on this too. It's from John Solomon's site. Folks, this is strange. There are a lot of questions here. I would just recommend here, be cautious. Don't get out ahead of your skis on this. We can't have another one of these Kraken incidents where legitimate charges of election interference and malfeasance got wiped aside by stuff that was candidly hysterical. And then what happened is everyone got discredited at the same time because the media are a bunch of propaganda goons. I just, with January 6th, I cautioned the same thing. This is weird. And someone needs to answer some questions. Why is Nancy Pelosi's team, I think it's her daughter,

filming this evacuation of Nancy Pelosi. What is it? I mean, there may be a legitimate answer to that. That's why I say don't get ahead of your skis. They may say, well, we want it documented for evidence or whatever. But it does seem kind of strange, doesn't it? That everybody was afraid for their lives. And I only say that because, again, in my prior line of work, sorry to bring it up again. I don't want to be annoying.

I don't recall a moment where we evacuated a protectee and we told a member of the staff of the family, hey, can you film? It just seems weird. It just seems strange. What would you be filming it for? I mean, we were told a lot of these evacuation routes are clandestine and secret. No one's to see them. So why are you filming it?

It could be an innocent explanation. I'm willing to accept either side. No one's to see them. So why are you filming it? It could be an innocent explanation. I'm willing to accept either side. My mind is open on it. But as you can see from the videos, we're going to need some answers on that. Now you see why a lot of people want to make this stuff go away. All right. The Bongino rule strikes again, by the way, on the infamous Trumps. They got tapes on Trump again. They got tapes. They've got tapes. Oh, they do. Have they heard the tapes? Wait, just wait. Let me get to my next sponsor first. Foldsofhonor.org slash squadron. Freedom's not free. It carries a price paid by our nation's heroes. You know, this is my favorite charity, Folds of Honor.

It's a great charity. Thanks, Folds of Honor. So the Bongino rule strikes again. Yesterday, TNN reported that there are tapes out there. There are tapes of Donald Trump saying that he had a classified document and he wasn't going to talk about it with people. And he like waved a napkin or something in front of him because they heard paper, paper crunching or something like that. Oh, you did. So I finally get a hold of this piece,

and it turns out that exclusive, Trump captured on tape, Joe talking about classified document he kept after leaving the White House, TNN politics. Oh my gosh. Oh, and then you read down, then you read down.

Here's the great, one is from an anonymous, another anonymous source. Amazing, these anonymous sources. So crazy. TNN has not listened to the recording, but multiple sources describe, oh, you haven't listened to it.

Oh, so you don't know. So someone told you that it existed, like somebody told you about the pee-pee tape. Did you see that one? Oh, you didn't see that one either. Why didn't you see it? Because there is no pee-pee tape. That's why.

One source said the relevant portion on the Iran document is about two minutes long, but they haven't heard it. And another source said the discussion is a small part of a much longer meeting, but you haven't heard it. We're doing it again, again, because I am not going to bullshit you. Could there be a tape? There could. Should you probably hear the tape before you report on it, the tnn is already reported on a pp tape that doesn't exist and a steel dossier that was all fake probably a good idea but tnn can't control themselves because they need to distract you from the ever-growing list

of exploding biden scandals including the scandal now emerging about twinkies up in New York. Remember Twinkies, Alvin Bragg? Oh, yeah. Who's trying to prosecute Donald Trump for an absurd election charge that they can't even explain in court? Yo, Twinks. You're going. Oh, he's going all right, Twinkies. He is moving forward.

So Donald Trump was at a town hall last night with Hannity on Fox at a 9 p.m. show last night at Hannity. And he brought up an interesting little tidbit to this story that I don't want you to forget. That this Twinkies prosecution up in New York City was dead as a doornail until a guy named Matthew Colangelo from the Biden Justice Department made his way over to Twinkies office. Now, ladies and gentlemen, most people go from local government, city government to the feds. You know someone in this room who did that? One has two thumbs and did the same thing? This guy went from the NYPD to the feds.

It's kind of like a promotion for me, right? Nobody goes from the feds backwards. Very few people. Why is Matthew Colangelo from the Department of Justice in Twinkie's office investigating Donald Trump? Maybe it's a way for Joe Biden to target his political opponent, to take the heat off everything going on with him. Just like the tape that emerged yesterday, no one's heard. Here's Trump talking

about it last night. Check this out. It has to do more than anything else with trying to interfere with the election. And let me tell you, DOJ actually took, you talk about Bragg, the DA of New York. I never thought I'd be dealing with a guy like this. You talk about Bragg. The DOJ in Washington put his top guy into the DA's office, which is local, which is city state. But they put the top guy in the Justice Department

into that office to make sure Trump gets in trouble. Can you believe it? You see, Trump's right. I mean, he's just calling it like it is. Why is a guy from the freaking DOJ in New York City trying to prosecute Trump on a trumped up pun intended charge that no serious person would ever charge him with? The answer is because of this.

They need a distraction. Remember I told you about the FBI whistleblower talking about a confidential human source yesterday that may have disclosed to the FBI a $5 million bribe and how the biggest secret in DC is who this person is? A lot of people said to me yesterday after my radio show, Dan, it sounds like you know who it is and you're dancing around it. I do not. Have I ever hid something from you guys? Unless someone specifically has asked me not to talk about something and I gave my word, I don't. It'd be great. Hey, look, I know who it is. Stay tuned next week. I don't know who that person is. I have some guesses, but it's kind

of weird because someone asked me, well, Dan, if there's a source who said Biden took a $5 million bribe and the FBI is hiding that person. Why doesn't the person just go to Congress himself? Well, because this guy tried to do that. A guy by the name of Gal Luft. You read this New York Post story in the newsletter today, bongino.com slash newsletter by Miranda Devine. Gal Luft went to the feds and said, hey, Joe Biden may be taking some money from China in some illicit deal. Well, what happened with him? Well, it turns out that it was an extradition order delivered November 1st, 2022, seven days before the midterm elections for him when the Republicans were expected to win control of the House to start investigating the Bidens. House oversight

investigators were preparing to interview Gal Luft before he disappeared. Now you're wondering why nobody wants to go and talk to House investigators? Because extradition orders to send them back to the United States on what appear to be trumped up charges start appearing out of nowhere. That's why. Oh, and look, this happened now, too. You're getting the whole gist of this theme here. A tape emerges about Trump. Oh, that look, this happened now too. You're getting the whole gist of this theme here. A tape emerges about Trump. Oh, that's convenient.

New York City's cracking down on Trump with a DOJ guy. Why is this happening now? To hide all this stuff. The whistleblower, the source on Biden, Gal Luft. Oh, and this. Gabe Kaminsky. He's done some great reporting at the Washington Examiner. Unearthed Hunter Biden emails with Obama White House slammed by the GOP.

Worse than Watergate. This is in the newsletter too. I'm not going to go through the whole thing. You got to read this. How Hunter Biden and his business partners are emailing over and over the White House about who they can get access to the White House to. The biggest scandal in American history. Not even a close second.

Shit is getting annoying for real. I know. Isn't it? Hey, before we go to our next, I want to play this for you. You got that AI video thing with the drone. Cool.

Listen, man, this freaks me out. You know, me with AI. Hey, I think it's the biggest threat. What is,

what kind of segues? It's not. Sometimes you just get moved from topic to. I think it's the biggest threat. What kind of segue is that? It's not. Sometimes you just got to move from topic to topic because there's no comfortable segue. Biden's a destructive force. Let me get to the next destructive force. I mean, I can make a segue, but I'm not. This AI video freaked me out. Now, before I play this, it's short. It's about an Air Force drone that apparently was imbued with some artificial intelligence. Have you seen this? The story this guy's about to tell, I that apparently was imbued with some artificial intelligence. Have you seen this? The story this guy's about to tell, I want to put out in advance.

The Air Force is saying in no uncertain terms that this didn't happen. I want to give you again both sides of it. They're saying this didn't happen. The story's made its way around. It's been picked up by some media outlets. Do you believe it didn't happen? Do you trust the Air Force? I don't know. I don't know i don't know

who i trust anymore but again i want to give you both sides they have been categorical that this story didn't happen however if it did happen this is really freaky deaky about what this air force drone with ai did take a listen to this u.s air force is working with an ai enabled drone that'll take out enemy air defenses there is just one problem though it is fucking In simulations, the AI would identify targets and usually its operator would tell it to kill the threat, but sometimes it would tell it not to. Because the AI knew that it got points if it destroyed threats, when an operator would prevent it from doing so, it would kill its operators. So then they trained the AI not to do that. Instead, it started taking out communication towers to prevent the operator from telling it to not kill the target. What a fun, cool,

and totally not scary technology we're developing. Now, for the third time, the Air Force saying that didn't happen. I'm not sure who I believe anymore. I'll tell you why in a minute. Because that's what worries me about AI. That when you put in a system in AI that has no morals or ethics, it's incapable of moral reasoning. And the AI system wins. You have to put in like an up or a down. You make a decision, you kill the bad guys, that's up. And it's taught to work on a thumbs up or thumbs down system. Then it's going to do anything it can to get the thumbs up.

It's not because it wants to, it's because that's how it's programmed. It doesn't have instincts or desire. And if you stop it, it's going to try to kill you too. So if a bunch of liberals program AI telling the computer that in 12 years, the human virus is going to wipe out humanity because of its insatiable desire for a fossil fuel-based energy, how long before AI starts to kill the rest of us? This has freaked me out for the longest time. I'll tell you why I don't trust these people coming up in a second. Last spot here, Blackout Coffee. Blackoutcoffee.com. You tired of that same old liberal crap coffee? Maybe it tastes like coffee. It tastes like brown

water. Listen, this is a coffee house. My wife got me into coffee when we first met. I was never a coffee guy. Now it is my morning routine.

What year are you in anyway? Justin's going to graduate soon, folks. Everybody give him a round of applause. He's got a year to go. Let's get through that last year. He's got a year to go. Yeah, good job, Justin. Hang in there.

You're three quarters of the way through. Don't give up now. So why don't I trust these guys? I put out their statement, the Air Force. I haven't had any issues with the Air Force, but I have had issues with the FBI. Here's the reason I don't trust these guys, because I don't trust institutions anymore.

I'm sorry. They've all been taken over by wokesters. Here's a funny story. Reclaim the Net is a really, really great website. They cover everything going on in IT. You should check them out. It's in the newsletter, this article. Remember the FBI got busted coordinating with Twitter to suppress conservatives on Twitter.

Remember that? Yeah. Yeah. Well, the FBI, they sent a FOIA to the FBI who work for us. They know they actually work for us. A Freedom of Information Act said we want the documents. The FBI is saying, no, you can't have it. The FBI refuses to hand over communications

about Twitter-related censorship. Now, I know this is a big deal because I tweeted the article out this morning. Elon responded with two little exclamation points like, hey, this is serious. Yeah, you're damn right it's serious. And it's why I don't trust these institutions anymore.

They've been hijacked. They think we work for them. So listen, I want to switch gears again. Here's something I want to bring up, but I don't want to bring it up to pile on this guy, okay? I don't have any real personal beef with this guy. But we're in the middle of a primary season, and a couple of things.

I've said it over and over, so no need to beat that horse to death, okay? But primaries are good things, okay? However, primaries can rapidly turn into bad things when they descend into real, I mean, really deeply personal stuff. Because here's the problem with primaries, and I don't speak with forked tongue.

I've actually run in them, three of them. I won two. So I may not have won a general close, but no cigar. Right. But I won two out of three. And as meatloaf said, two out of three ain't bad.

Right. That is a meatloaf song. Right. Just check it. Yeah. You're good. Okay. My music.

Thank you. So I went to him. So I kind of know a little bit about the topic. Right. The problem with primaries is people get desperate. And when people get desperate and people start chasing clout, clout chasing out there, what winds up happening is you get the one upper in the group. And the long and short of it is you get a pro DeSantis and a pro Trump guy.

And in order to show loyalty to the cause, and if this gets boring, just tell me to shut up. Okay. What happens is one guy's like Trump sucks. And then the other guy like under the sense, he was like, no, Trump really sucks. And then the other guy's like, these, keep in mind, these are Republicans. Trump's a Nazi. Trump's a super Nazi. Trump's worse than a Nazi. Trump, this is what winds up happening because they all want to show loyalty because everybody's looking for something. Trust me, it happens. The problem is they totally lose their attachment, their lodestar to reality, and forgetting that, hey, we're really in this versus the Democrats, right? And what's going to happen?

You're going to alienate so many people that by the time the general comes around, what winds up happening? There are people who are never going to come back. They're just not. They're not going to come back. It's not a lot. Most people typically come around, but it's enough. So long and short of it is I get into a beef with this guy last night

about something totally, which is ironic, because I was going after a lefty who was going after his friend. You don't even need to know. But this guy, Evan Kilgore, this attack on Ron DeSantis' press secretary, who's an absolute bulldog, Christina Pushaw, it's just completely unnecessary. And it's not that he's attacking her. Look, I don't care. We attack people all the time for everything. I don't care. But that's not what bothers me. What bothers me is that it's just stupid. It's dumb. Let's be honest. The woman,

she's going after a Republican who has been a beast against the media down here. Let's be honest. A woman with a ton of Botox and way too much lip filler, looks like she was stung by a thousand bees. You all know I'm right, but we'll never admit it. Really, man? My beef aside with this guy, really? So what? There's a woman at Botox? What do you care? Does she have lip filler in? Who cares? I know a lot of people with lip filler, a lot. My best friend's a plastic surgeon. Trust me. I know a lot of people with lip filler. Who cares? Why do you care? Just dumb, folks. It's dumb. You're going to alienate people. Oh my gosh. I forgot we had questions.

Wait, before the questions, right? Let me get off that. I don't want to waste any more time on that. It's just dumb. Just remember in the end, we're going to have to, we got to work with these people. Trump wins. We need the DeSantis people. DeSantis people, we need the Trump people. Everybody keep that in mind. I got questions for Dan coming up, but I want to play this first. I know it's just two like non-political things. I know the Jim Brewer thing, forgive me for another one, but this has happened on a plane. I don't know how long ago it happened, but there's a woman up at front by the bathroom there and she's standing in the aisle screaming. This goes on for a while.

I only cut like the last 40 seconds where Joe did. And not all heroes wear capes, folks. I want you to hear this guy at the end. At the end, he's had enough of this woman in the aisle. This is just great. Check this out. What did I do to you? You better not say shit to me. You should be a bit of yourself. You should be ashamed of yourself. yourself. Before that,

I didn't do shit. You're doing it now though. You're tripping. So now everybody's going to suffer. No, that's bullshit. Because somebody, one person complained, so now what's up? No, listen, you out your motherfucking mind. I don't feel like no period ass shit up in this motherfucker.

Who is that guy? Who is it? Wait, here it is. Here. Will Case gave you this from Fox. Public enemy number one, damn bunch. I will turn this over you this from Fox. Public Enemy number one. I will turn this over to you, sir. Come claim your prize.

There you go. The Academy Award. That is fantastic. I love that guy. You out your mind. Not all heroes wear capes, man. Not all heroes wear capes. I was beating up Guy this morning about this Star Wars thing, too.

I watched a video on Star Wars. They were like, Luke Skywalker can conquer 7 million galaxies. I'm like, what the hell is this? The video I saw, this real thing. I'm like, this is why Star Wars got out of control. All right, I got to get to questions. I'm wondering, wait, I got a special project. I'm like, why am I not on the radio today? I had a very, very special project I'm working on. I don't know what I can say or what I can't. I'll find out today, but I promise you're going to like it. Time for questions for Dan. Hey, Dan, JGTurner74.

Why do you think Trump is refusing to debate? I mean, straight up because he doesn't have to. He's up 20 plus points in just about every poll. Honestly, I think it's a mistake. I think Trump is the apex predator and the Lion King on stage. I will say this. You are never going to get me to bash DeSantis. You're not.

I'm not doing it. I've already come out for Trump. But Ron DeSantis is the best governor I've ever lived in anywhere, that I've ever lived in a state, anywhere, that I've ever lived in a state with, ever. But debate-wise, he's not that great. So I think Trump's making a huge mistake, to be straight with you, because a 20-point lead can disappear quickly.

But he's not debating because he doesn't have to. Until someone shows strength in the polls, there's no reason for him to be up there. That's why. Hey, Dan, at Mel 1021, which House Republicans were you most disappointed in regarding the debt ceiling vote? You know, this one's tough for me because I like her a lot, but Marjorie Taylor Greene, man, I was a little disappointed in. I mean, there were a lot of

talking points in some of the tweets and I just, I don't know. I really wasn't digging that. You got it. We got it. We got to keep it real here, folks. Keep it real. Yeah. You ever watch that one? But, uh, yeah, I wasn't really digging that. Just be honest, you know, tell people it's a shit sandwich. And that was all, that was all we, that's all we could do. It's okay. There's, there's nothing more you can do. So I'm, I'm a total pragmatist. You may think otherwise. I've ran for office. I understand what it's like. You can't get from the Democrats what they won't give. If they're not going to, we have divided government, but just be honest with people. I was a little, that was a little miffed about that. Hey, Dan at Marianne, what's the best advice a parent can give to their child in this day and age? I give it to my kid all the time. I say, act like

you're watching yourself in a movie. Are you proud of that person on the screen? Gets them every time. I did not make that up. I heard it from someone and it has worked pretty much every time. And I use that advice for myself too. And believe me, a lot of times I'm like, I don't like that person on the screen. I don't want you to think I'm above any of that too. Hey, Dan, enyoung06. If somehow, tragically, we lose like we did in 2020, will you still be long in the United States where we are screwed? Love your show.

Thanks for being a trustworthy host. Thank you. We appreciate that. Yes, I am long in the United States. I've explained this repeatedly. I don't mean that in a nasty condescending way or as a jerk. I lived through this in New York where for two decades, hundreds and thousands of people were being murdered in the streets. Graffiti was everywhere. everywhere homeless people were all over drugs were everywhere And everybody said oh my gosh, I can't believe it's as bad i'm giving up i'm giving up And then one day giuliani ran and he lost And people were like, I can't believe it. What do we got to do?

And then he ran again and he won And three decades of garbage got cleaned up in like two years or so. And we had an incredible run in New York City for a long time. I only say that because I've lived through it. Yes, I'm long in the United States. I mean, what's your other choice? I'm not going to live my life upset. I got enough heart problems and stuff. I do. I got like a bad anxiety issue, man. It's freaking my heart out. So I'm going to stay an optimist. L Church. Hey, Dan, with the big city police force in decline and recruitment at an all-time low, do you think the plan is for government-created problems to be solved by government as well?

You think they're going to federalize basically the police force? They already do. They already do, L Church. You ever heard of a consent decree? Go search that in a search engine. That's why the DOJ loves consent decrees where they go in, they wait for a racial incident. Whether it was racial or not is irrelevant. If it's a white cop and a use of force incident on a black subject, regardless if the use of force is justified or not,

they will come in and they'll declare a consent decree where they both consent to be monitored by the Justice Department. And they already take it over. there's constitutional problems with them outright taking it over but it's kind of a quiet socialism you don't have to take over businesses just tax and regulate them to death right and you de facto own them anyway they're doing the same thing with police departments with consent decrees they already run them not all of them but a good

chunk of them are under consent degrees. Look it up yourself. At poppop18, I called my grandfather that. He smoked a pipe. Remember that? I called him poppop pipe. Good man. God rest your soul, Gramps. Love that guy. I'm hearing more and more about centralized banking. Your perspective, please. Your view is one of the few I trust. Tips for viewers on how to avoid the digital dollar. That's the problem. You can't. A CBDC, central bank digital currency, you know what that'll mean? It'll mean there'll be no more paper dollars, none. Everything will be done digitally. How will it be done? Will it be an app? Will it be a card? Will it be a combination? Will it be readers? It'll probably be all of that. What's the problem with that? Everything you do will be monitored by the government. Easily, easily subpoenaed through

this digital dollar. Everything. It is a cancerous curse. We've covered it on this show many times. It is the end of freedom as you know it. Not only will they surveil every single thing you buy, they will in an instant be able to tax you. In an instant, there'll be no tax avoidance. Tax avoidance, Dan, that's a crime. No, it's not. Tax evasion is a crime. People like to avoid taxes. That's what accountants do. It's not a crime. Tax evasion's a crime. That's a different thing. And what happens when you go to buy a gun? Yeah, we're going to just shut down the CBDC's ability to purchase guns in liberal states. Good luck. What are you going to buy it with? Barter? You're going to bring chickens in? It's a plague, the CBDC. Hey, Dan, one humble servant. Just ordered your book. Thank you, sir. Appreciate that. Or ma'am, what was the most fun and most challenging thing when

you were writing the book? The book's called The Gift of Failure. Thank you to everybody who picked it up. I have a link in the newsletter today. If you want an autographed copy, there's only a few of them out there. I can't sign too many. But if you want to just pick up a copy, you can pre-order it now. It's not out till September,

but pre-orders help us out a lot. It's available wherever you get your books called The Gift of Failure. And the most difficult part by far was the chapter about how I learned the whole cancer thing. And it was an emotional ride. When I tell you, as I was rereading it back to an editor to make sure we got all the wording right

and there were no hanging participles or anything, I actually started to tear up. That's a fact. It's hard to read that chapter. But everyone I've shown a book to thinks it's the best one, how they found it and what happened afterwards. So that was the toughest part. Is that it? Oh, one more. Okay. Hey, Dan at Eric Jason, is it possible? Everything's possible, sir. Possibilities are endless.

I'm thinking of a Robert Frost poem, but I'm just not that bright. No. Yes, it's possible. I don't know what the hell you're talking about. I included that in there because Guy included it in there. But the answer is whatever you think is possible. Yes, it is. No, let me wait. Hold on. Hold on. Time out on that question. I was joking, of course. Let me give you a real answer. No, it's not. I thought you were going to be inspirational. It's Friday. I am. I'm just going to give you some real advice on the other side after I'm done messing around. The worst advice you can ever give to someone, to a kid or anyone else, is anything you can dream you can achieve.

Bullshit. No, you can't. That is not true. I can dream about being Mickey Mantle. I have no genetic capability to be Mickey Mantle. However, I'm a damn good talk radio show host. You know what you do? Find the skill you can make money first, get yourself financially stable, build a family, get some kids. And then when you're done, you want to be an artist? You want to go try out for the Yankees? Then go do it.

There's some real advice. That, my friend, is possible. Jokey time over. Hey, thanks for everything, folks. It's been a great week. I'll see you back here on Monday. Please do us one favor.
