The Dan Bongino Show - How Did The Media Miss This Explosive Footnote in the IG Report? (Ep 1134)

Episode Date: December 13, 2019

In this episode, I address the explosive footnote hidden in the IG report which destroys the FBI’s entire cover story for the Spygate scandal. I also address the imploding impeachment fiasco. News Picks:An excellent article about the massive Spygate scandal, and the media’s role in it.    The hapless Democrats expect even more defections on the impeachment vote.    Unbelievable! The Fusion GPS hoaxers are at it again!   Unbelievably, the FBI declares it has no records of discipline against the lawyers in the collusion hoax.    Snake Jim Comey strikes again!   A major victory in the UK for common sense.   Video: Democrat watches golf during the “serious” impeachment hearing.   Impeachment was a total, complete, epic failure. After the hearings 52% do not support impeachment.    Another misguided court ruling interferes with the border wall construction.    Copyright Dan Bongino All Rights Reserved.

but i appreciate it it's not easy it's a lot of coffee and uh and some other stuff legal i promise don't worry okay but you have to stay up and get busy with them. I've got a killer show. Why are you looking at me? I've got a killer show for you today. Let me just get the lead out

right away. Folks, the Horowitz Report actually debunks the entire Horowitz Report. What? What? Yes.

The Horowitz Report has said what? What have the liberals have been telling you and their media hack bootlicking acolyte allies, what have they been telling you? The predication for this is all legitimate. The FBI story that they opened the spying operations to Donald Trump because of this tip from Australia about Papadopoulos' boozy liaison with Alexander Downer in London, and he leaked that the Russians were trying to help the Trump campaign. That's what started this, not the dossier, right? So just to be clear, liberal hacks, media hacks, that's the story, the official story, and the media is supposedly sticking to it. Horowitz said, yes, they're right. It was the

Australians that tipped the FBI off that Papadopoulos may be working with the Russians it was not the dossier why are they saying that why is Horowitz covering for them I don't know why Horowitz is covering for them but Horowitz's own report debunks that story let me be crystal clear before we start the FBI media hacks and the spy gate conspirators are desperate to make you america believe that they did not start an investigation into donald trump because of a dossier hillary clinton paid for that was political information no no no this all started the spying because the australians frightened us into believing poppinopolis was working with the russians do you get this please tell me you get this okay good if joe gets it you get it we all get it

this please tell me you get this okay good if joe gets it you get it we all get it now harowitz's report everybody said listen michael hart said i have no reason to believe otherwise yeah the predication of the case was just fine and peachy in other words saying that yeah that friendly foreign government tip from the australians that's what really did it it wasn't the dossier oh is that a fact well first to show you how the media has played into this, because they're not serious journalists, journalism is absolutely dead. Let's go back to the New York Times article where we first heard this leak. This is from a while ago that, yes, the Australians started this by giving us a tip about Papadopoulos working with the Russians. Look at this. Back in December of 2017, we first heard about this from the media,

the New York Times. How the Russia inquiry began. A campaign aide talking about Papadopoulos. Drinks and talks of political dirt. Okay, none of this is actually true. How did the New York Times get this in December of 2017? They got it from their Spygate Deep State co-conspirators who desperately wanted this story out in December of 2017. So you would be distracted and not know the real story that the reason the FBI spied on Trump is because Hillary told them to with the dossier.

It's no more difficult than that. Pretty simple. You don't believe me? That's what the New York Times piece says. Check out this nugget from the New York Times piece from the deep state leakers who were desperate to go, hey, look, squirrel. It wasn't the dossier. It was Papadopoulos. Quote, New York Times piece from the deep state leakers who were desperate to go, hey, look, squirrel. It wasn't the dossier.

It was Papadopoulos. Quote, New York Times, the information that Mr. Papadopoulos gave to the Australians answers one of the lingering mysteries of the past year. What so alarmed American officials to provoke the FBI to open a counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign months before the presidential election? Listen to this doozy, Joe. It was not, as Mr. Trump and other politicians have alleged, a dossier compiled by a former British spy hired by a rival campaign.

Instead, it was firsthand information from one of America's closest intelligence allies. Really? Is that true? Let me show you the little golden nugget. Jim, hat tip, 279er. You guys are the best. This little nugget we found in the report that actually debunks that entire theory. Horowitz's own report debunks Horowitz's report

that this is true. Let me show you this footnote. This is just devastating. Let me read this to you. Footnote 461. The only express direction we found that McCabe gave regarding the use of a confidential human source in other words a spy concerned a former spy fbi chs who contacted an fbi agent an fbi field office in late july 2016 to listen to this to report information from a colleague who runs an investigative firm hired by two entities the dnc as well as another individual who was not named to

explore Donald Trump's longstanding ties to Russian entities. We're going to come back to this, but come back to me here for a moment. There are so many nuggets in there, you have no idea. Let's distill out what's in that and why this completely annihilates Horowitz's own conclusion. And yet somehow Horowitz, who I'm really starting to have questions about, seems hesitant to tell you the dossier started this whole thing covering up for these deep staters. What is going on here? staters what is going on here first a former spy confidential human source in late july approached them with information from a colleague who runs an investigative firm hired by the dnc joe um wasn't steel the investigative firm

orbis his company was the one hired by the dn? He was, right? Yeah, Orbus, yeah. So can we all agree that this sounds suspiciously like someone, another spy, amazingly, approaching the FBI about information that it appears likely they're getting from Steele in late July? Joe, that's not possible. Because the FBI's official story, Joe, is no, no, no. We didn't get the information from Steele until September 19th. Late July, September 19th. Late July, September 19th. Late July, September 19th. July, I'm Joe again, it's the

audience on Budsman. July is before September. Think this through before you answer. It's a tough one. Yes. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. Double jeopardy. Very good. That's really detailed, well-developed analysis. I appreciate Joe always coming through in the clutch like

this. So now we know the FBI, it's highly likely in Horowitz's own report, footnote 461, which nobody's picked up on, but this show, because we have the best source network in the business,

nobody seems to have picked up on the fact that Horowitz's own report indicates that another spy approached the FBI with the information that appears, steals, that the FBI says they didn't get till September 19th. Now, Joe, why would the FBI lie

about when they potentially got hold of christopher steel's information and the d'ercier information why would they lie about that do tell do tell well let's do a little timeline here let's knock my computer off the desk there we still got audio yes we got audio excellent why would the fbi lie about that well joe when did crossfire hurricane the spying operation into donald trump allegedly start at least when is the formal on paper start date it's july 31st of 2016 so joe that would be an awfully convenient alibi for the fbi wouldn't it awfully convenient alibi for the FBI, wouldn't it? Awfully convenient alibi for the FBI that we couldn't have opened the investigation because of the dossier in Steel Joe, because we didn't get the information till September 19th. But that's awfully strange. Can you put up that footnote again? Footnote 461? Because this seems to sound awfully like

another spy who, quote, contacted an FBI agent in a field office in late July to report information from a colleague who runs an investigative firm hired by two entities, the DNC and the other entities, probably the Clinton campaign that wait, there's another. So let me get this straight. There's only two explanations to this Armacost, right? Tell me if I'm wrong is the audience on buzzman. Either the the dnc and hillary clinton hired christopher steel who went to the fbi through another colleague in july of 2016 or or another spy gave word about christopher steel's information in 2016 july and the fbi knew about it or there's actually another firm out there in addition to steel digging up more bogus information do you understand one or two one or two either one of

those stories is a total show and completely destroyed let me read more while this is up the former chs which is again code for spy also gave the fbi agent a list of quote individuals and entities who have surfaced in the investigative firm again is that steel's firm in their examination the former chs describes as mostly public source material which matches joe by the way exactly what steel's firm produced all right now this is where this gets folks this i promise you this is only gonna get better and by better I mean worse for the Democrats. Listen to this one. Some of you will put this together as I start to read.

Remember the dates. Investigation starts July 31st on paper with the FBI. The FBI swears up and down they did not get Steele's information until September 19th. Listen to this quote from this footnote 461 in mid-september 2016 wow that kind of sounds like september 19 joe in mid-september 2016 andrew mccabe tells an fbi agent to instruct the fbi agent from the field office who was dealing with the spy giving them the information that appears to be from steel joe not to have any further contact with the former spy and, and listen to this one and not to accept any information regarding the

crossfire hurricane investigation. What the heck is going on here? Jeez, man. Let me just tell you what I think is going on. Yeah, please. Put that footnote up one more time. I want to just go to the beginning.

I want to read the beginning of the footnote now because this will make sense once I read the beginning. I want to read the beginning first, though. All right. The only express direction the IG found Andrew McCabe gave regarding the use of spy chs's in this investigation concerned this guy who contacts the fbi in july with what appears to be steals information the fbi swears it didn't get till september so the only direction the ig found andrew mccabe

the deputy director gave the agents about spies on the Trump campaign, is not to deal with this guy anymore as of September 2019. Paul, I need you to put the ombudsman hat on here too. Ladies and gentlemen, let's walk through what likely happened here. The FBI in September starts to figure out they have nothing on Carter Page. They have nothing on Flynn and they have nothing on Papadopoulos. They haven't even opened the FISA yet. They start to panic. They realize they're going to have to open up a FISA. They go back to their insurance policy, which is going to be opening up a FISA on Page, insisting he's been dealing with Russians.

Remember, the FISA doesn't start till October. They can't say Page has been dealing with Russians. Remember, the FISA doesn't start until October. They can't say Page has been dealing with Russians, Joe. Why? Because Page's dealings with Russians have been at the behest of the US government, whilst Page is working with the CIA. The FBI manipulates and doctors an email, the insurance policy, to go get a FISA warrant on Page, saying that his contacts with the Russians were not due to the CIA sourcing when they were. They manipulate the evidence in a criminal act to spy on Carter Page. They know now that their original dossier story is falling apart because they're looking

into this dossier, which I'm telling you they now have in July. They said they didn't get till September. They know it's bunk. They're probably checking with their CIA counterparts and figuring out everything they based their information on is garbage. So you may say, well, why go up on a wire then in October? Because folks, they are insistent that once they get up on a wire, they really believe this collusion hoax,

that they're going to find evidence. Remember, they're manufacturing a crime. They don't have one. That they're going to find evidence of Trump colluding with the russians because they still believe this happened they still believe this these idiots so they manufacture this case mccabe realizes now remember it's september follow me he realizes in mid-september that he's going to need an excuse to start this investigation. So he says, hey, let's go back and use that tip we got back in May.

Because remember, I'm sure they have the Alexander Downer cable. The cable Alexander Downer that the Australians sent to the Australian embassy is on May 11th, right after the meeting with Papadopoulos. on May 11th, right after the meeting with Papadopoulos. The FBI insists they didn't get wind of that cable or the downer Papadopoulos meeting until July. Folks, that is total BS. I said to you in the show, was it yesterday or the day before, that the text messages on May 11th

between Stroke and Page clearly indicate that something happened that day on May 11th with the State Department and the FBI. I'm telling you what happened. They got wind of the cable to the Australian embassy about the Downer Papadopoulos meeting. They know about it. They don't think anything of it right away because it's a BS meeting. As the dossier falls apart in September and October, somebody comes up with the bright

idea, hey, let's go back and say we opened this investigation because of the tip from Australia we intercepted in May, but we said we got in July. Why would you have to say you got it in July? Because we opened the investigation July 31st. What convenient timing that would be, right? We can say we opened it because of this friendly foreign government tip

we really got in May. We'll just say we got it in July. someone says andy we got a problem if we're going to insist we open the case because of this tip from australia not the dossier then we're gonna have to pretend we didn't get the steel dossier till september okay let's just tell them we got it September 19th Andy there's another problem Andy Andy come on remember that spy who approached us all the way back all the way back in July and gave us information that sounds an awful lot like steals information remember that oh yeah yeah yeah we're not going to have any more dealing with him matter of fact you're going to cut him off why would you cut him off because they're covering their tracks

you're to have no more contact with that spy. Why? He's providing valuable information about the dossier. You used to spy on page because they're trying to tell you that's not why they're spying on page. They're trying to tell you they're doing it because of a downer tip they received in July that started the case in July when they really received it in May. That was the insurance policy. This whole scheme.

The only time, the only direction Andy McCabe ever gives his agents regarding the use of spies in the campaign is to not talk to a spy they were talking to in late July, right around the time, September 19th, when they say they first get steals information. the time september 19th when they say they first get steals information joe by your silence i can sense you're a little confused uh information overload dude yeah okay okay that's why i need you here paula what do you think a little confusing okay i mean let me walk you through the timeline okie dokes it's a it's a gem remember what we're talking about keep this all in perspective this footnote clearly indicates that harwitz's conclusion that the fbi opened the case because of the downer tip about papadopoulos this footnote

destroys that story the fbi is interviewed by harw, and they clearly indicate that they were investigating in late July information that appears to be steals that they got from a spy. Maybe a colleague of Steele, whoever it may be. We don't know who it is yet. I have my suspicions. But that's not possible, Joe, because Horowitz is telling us that they didn't get the information from Steele until September. So how the hell are they talking to a spy about what appears to be Steele in July? Okay. Does that part make sense?

That makes sense. Now, it's clear as day they're lying about why they opened this case. I threw in some extra information, but none of that changed. The footnote clearly lays out that the FBI was dealing with a source who was likely dealing with Steele that fits all the descriptors in July. But that's not what they said.

The FBI keeps telling us that they dealt with Steele in September, September 19th. So September 19th, when they finally make contact or they say they make contact with Steele, remember what they're trying to do, Joe. The FBI is trying to develop

a cover story about why they started this case because they can't let the public know they started the case because Hillary paid them to. They need any other reason. So somebody in mid-September makes contact with Steele about information. It appears they've already had the whole time. This spy, Andy McCabe, says immediately stop talking to this guy.

Why? Because they've made the decision earlier that they're going to lie to the public and say they didn't get the information until september but the spy knows he's been telling him the information since july so mccabe's like don't talk to him anymore or her don't talk to him anymore because we're going to tell the public we started this because of the downer tip okay which we're gonna say we got in july although it's clear from the text messages pretty clear that they probably know about the downer meeting with papadopoulos right after it happened right after it happens on may 10th on may 11th the cable is sent i'm sure the government knows about this because of the way they're texting the u.s government that's better yeah this was all a hoax this whole thing is bs the only

instruction mccabe gives about the use of spies in the most important counterintelligence scandal in u.s history the only direction is to not use one in september because they don't want this guy's information out there they don't want the public to know that they had steel stuff probably at the latest in july because they're telling you they got it in september and they're telling you they got it in september because they opened the case july 31st and therefore if they opened the case july 31st and they only made contact with steel in september it couldn't have been hillary's information and open it yes it had to be the case July 31st. And therefore, if they opened the case July 31st and they only made contact with Steele in September, it couldn't have been Hillary's information

that opened it. Yes, it had to be the friendly foreign government tip we got from the Australians, which we got in July, which they really got in May. This footnote is probably,

of all the fireworks in this report, this footnote is probably of all the fireworks in this report this footnote is the most explosive this is the m80 blockbuster in here because it debunks harwitz's own theory that the fbi is telling the truth about why they opened the case we opened it because of the government tip we didn't have steel stuff till september um this footnote says you had it clearly right or something that certainly looks like it in july right right right okay put up the footnote again one last time before we move on thank you dano yeah what other company is if they're not talking about steel and an fbi agent dealing with a spy talking about Steele's information, then who is a colleague of the spy who runs it? This is a quote, who runs an investigative firm hired by two entities,

the DNC, as well as another individual who is not named to explore Donald Trump's ties to Russian entities. Folks, who is that other than Steele or Orbis? Are you telling me there's another company out there the DNC hired other than Steele that was doing the exact same thing? Again, that story would be even worse. There's two companies? There's not two companies. This is clearly Steele's company.

It's not possible. We didn't contact Steele until September. We didn't open a case because of Steele. We didn't contact him until after we opened the case yeah i'm much more comfortable now yeah thank you you got i know it's complicated and i get it how the may 11 thing if you didn't listen to the show about the downer tip and the may 11 text messages it may be a little distracting don't get distracted by that the simple point is very easy to understand the story that the dossier was not the initiator of the case that it was

this tip from the friendly foreign government of australia because they don't want you to know hillary's information that she paid for started the biggest spying scandal in u.s history is total garbage and horowitz's own report buried in the footnotes debunks Horowitz's own report and the FBI story. Paula, how does that sound to you? You get it? You sure? Good.

All right. All right, let me move on. Our second spot. I got a lot to get to. There's more here. Some devastating stuff. Got that. This AOC video is priceless too.

I want to leave you on a Friday with a smile because this one's just so pathetic. It's bad. All right, today's show, Bart, through my buddies at BrickHouse Nutrition. Ladies and gentlemen, I got a friend over today helping me out around the house, flew down with me.

And he said to me, you know, I use a lot of your sponsors. I said, listen, if you're not using BrickHouse Nutrition and their nutrition products, you're making a huge mistake. Folks, the finest nutrition supplement I've ever tried, hands down, no questions asked,

not even a close second. There's a lot of good stuff out there, but I say this with no hesitancy at all. Brickhouse Nutrition's Foundation is the best product out there. Why? Because it does a number of things. It makes you look better, it makes you feel better, and it makes you perform better. I can personally attest to this. What is it? Foundation is a creatine ATP blend. It's the equivalent of having two extra gas tanks in the gym and in your life. It's not like caffeine or these stimulants that after an hour or so, you're like, oh, you crashed. It's not what any of this does. Creatine and ATP are phosphogens. It's an energy source for your body, a powerful, powerful energy source. You will perform better when you have good, solid amounts of it in your body,

but you won't only perform better. Creatine and the ATP blend they have in foundation has a nice little effect. I'm going to say side effect because it's not a side effect. Side effect always has a negative. This is an effect. When it gets into your muscles, the creatine and the ATP, it has a loading effect in the muscles, a volumization effect. What does that mean? It makes your muscles look harder and look better. You will look better. All I ask for Breckhaus Nutrition, all I ask is take the mirror test.

Look in the mirror. Take a little mental snapshot of what you look like. You know what you look like. Let it load. You're good. Let it load for about seven days. Seven days. If Joe Biden was doing it,

seven days. Let it load in your system. Take another mental snapshot seven days later. You're going to be like, damn, that looks good. Right, Paula? Yeah.

Thank you. It is great great and i ask you again go do some push-ups squats bench press flies whatever you're doing lat pull-downs take a little note take a note how many you do come back seven days later your performance will be through the roof go try it now brickhousenutrition.com slash dan brickhousenutrition.com slash dan go buy foundationHouseNutrition.com slash Dan. Go buy Foundation today. Get it before the holidays. Look your best for the holidays, especially with those New Year's resolutions coming up. BrickHouseNutrition.com slash Dan.

Pick up a bottle of Foundation today. All right. Folks, I'm very proud of the work that a lot of my sources done again, 279 and others. And that footnote, nobody, no, I've not seen anybody covering that. I could be wrong.

There's a lot of great Twitter investigators who may be on it, but footnote 461 absolutely destroys, debunks, and discredits every single thing you've been told by the media. We didn't have the Steele dossier until September. Really? That sounds awfully suspicious. You were talking to a guy who sounds awfully like a guy who knows Steele in July. That's crazy, isn't it?

Again, you won't get any of that anywhere else i'm actually stunned yeah i'm serious i'm not kidding because i i'd rather not be first i'd rather come in and put together and collate the information and give you kind of executive summaries of what's going on because i have an hour amazing amazing footnote okay moving on folks glenn greenwald is believe me the farthest thing from a conservative you're ever going to meet but glenn greenwald has been entirely consistent in principle over the years in his uh pursuit of nailing down civil liberties violations love him or hate him glenn greenwald who writes over at the intercept he was over all over theden stuff. You cannot knock the guy on principles. You knock him, you can say you disagree with him. I understand. The guy has been principled from day one. He wrote a devastating, and I mean devastating, this guy's not a conservative at all, takedown of the media

and the spy gay co-conspirators. I'm telling you of the articles I put in the show notes this week, please go to the show notes. If you want to follow us on Twitter, we're at DB show notes. You can read them on Twitter or you just go to Bongino.com. Or as I always humbly ask, just subscribe to our newsletter. I will email you these articles every day.

We put a lot of work into it to get it together. Bongino.com slash newsletter. Simple as that. We'll email you them every morning. This one is worth your time. Please read this in the show notes today. The title of the article by Glenn Greenwald is the Inspector General's report on 2016 FBI spying reveals a scandal of historic magnitude, not only for the FBI, but also for the US media. Candidly, folks, there are so many gems in here.

I can't go through the whole thing. And in the interest of time, because there's a lot more to get to, I want to get to just one that I mentioned on Hannity last night during my appearance. It was a brief one. But that Greenwald, the way he writes about this specific, scandalous, disgusting piece of information is worth repeating. Let me get to this quote from the piece. This is worth your time, folks. Quote, Glenn Greenwald, in 2017, the FBI decided to seek reauthorization of the FISA warrant to continue to spy on Page and sought and obtained it three times

in January, April, and June. Not only, according to the IG report, did the FBI repeat all of the seven significant inaccuracies and omissions. So folks, just to be clear on this, the FBI in the original October FISA, they're saying they started because of the Australia tip. We now know it was because of the dossier. There were seven major omissions and basically lies. The GIG calls them, quote, inaccuracies.

Get a load of this, though. Greenwald. But the FBI, Joe, added 10 additional major inaccuracies in the additional three renewals. Wow. I guess seven lies weren't good enough. They had to layer 10 more. Quote, as the ig report puts it this is a direct quote in addition to repeating the seven significant errors contained in the first

visa and outlined above we identified 10 additional significant errors in the three renewals based upon information known to the fbi after the first application and before one or more of the renewals. What? You know, there's that Taylor Swift song. Is it 16? Cause when you're 16, we need to change that. We need a new version. Cause when you're lying 17 times in a Pfizer. That was?

She doesn't like my song. All right. My singing's not that great. Because when you're lying 17 times in the Pfizer. 17 times. I just repeated it just to annoy her. I love my wife, but sometimes I like to poke her a little bit. Well, that probably came out wrong.

I'm talking about humor, you dirty minds out there. Seven lies, seven lies. Joe Biden, Matt, seven lies. And then you add 10 more in. Because when you're, you need 17 in there. Joe, the original seven weren't good enough. The original seven, no good. We need, folks, 10 more. 10 more lies just to make sure we've absolutely firmed up this house of lies.

We need to add in 10 more. It's like buttressing a roof in Florida so it doesn't come off in a Cat 5 hurricane. It's not good for a couple cross braces. Let's get 10 more in there. Seven aren't good. Folks, you only need two. Like my house. They built this attic.

This house could survive like a Category 72 hurricane. You can't even get in my attic. There's so many crossbars. This is it. So you're buttressing the roof of your FISA lie with seven lies. Get 10 more in there, folks. We need 10 more. Put that piece up again because there's another paragraph.

This is even better. What did I tell you about the January meeting? We broke that here, what here what six seven months ago they meet with steel's spy in january his source and the source tells him this is all garbage all of it and they renew it anyway and add 10 more lies listen uh quote greenwald among the most significant new acts of deceit was that the FBI omitted the fact that Steele's primary subsource, this is about the meeting in January I told you about, who the FBI found credible, had made statements in January of 2017, listen to this folks, raising significant questions about the reliability of the allegations included in the FISA applications, including, for example, that he did not recall any discussion with person one concerning WikiLeaks, WikiLeaks bunk. There was, quote, nothing bad about the communications

with the Kremlin and the Trump team. Wow, that's a doozy. And that he did not report to Steele in July of 2016 that Page had met with Sechin. That's about the bribe, the Rosneft bribe, the only crime alleged in the dossier so steel's primary source the fbi interviews him in january says basically the whole dossier is garbage the whole thing and they renew it three more times to spy on an

innocent american and they add 10 more lies in just in case. That's right, Dan. We're going to lie about it. We're just going to lie about it and not worry about a damn thing there, Dan. I guess so, Cletus. I guess so because I don't know what they were thinking. But Joe, listen, Cletus, take a breather here because Horowitz told us there's no political bias. So Cletus, calm down. Calm down with your Bush League analysis. There's no political bias. So, Cletus, calm down. Calm down with your Bush League analysis.

There's no political bias here, folks. None. No bias, Joe. Well, we're not about that too, Dan. I guess so. Are you suggesting to me if it wasn't bias, it was what? What? Horowitz, listen, man.

Again, I'm not trying to pile on you. I don't know the guy. Right. Can you remove your head from your rectum for two minutes? What is your suggestion as to why this would happen? It wasn't bias. Well, what the hell was it? An intelligence quotient of 42?

Listen, ladies and gentlemen, I applied to the FBI. It's difficult to get in there. These people who were doing this were not dumb. It may give you some pleasure to say, oh, these people were idiots. They were not. But do you understand that story is even worse? Because if their excuse is, well, we're just, well, golly, we're just really stupid and Cletus isn't working out either. No. Then what's the other explanation?

That they knowingly, willfully committed potential federal crimes to spy on innocent Americans, to spy on innocent Americans, which, ladies and gentlemen, looks to clearly be the story du jour. And where's the media on this besides Glenn Greenwald? Nowhere. Folks, I'm telling you, this piece is full of gems. It's not that long, maybe a thousand words.

the collusion hoax again. Now, Joe, we didn't talk about this before the show, right? This wasn't you, right? So you don't know what's coming, right? No, I don't know what's coming. I want to get your genuine reaction because this is just, I mean, the information in this is amazing. let me just give you a little background first if you haven't picked up my book yet exonerated i would appreciate if you if you if you don't mind it's it's we put a lot of work into it it's called exonerated the failed takedown of donald j trump by the swamp uh it's on amazon barnes and noble bookstores everywhere exonerated by me dan bongino and in the, we have a bombshell in there that I'm not sure a lot

of you are aware of. A hat tip to Sarah Carter, another journalist who'd covered it in the past, John Solomon and others. Ladies and gentlemen, the whole so-and-so colluded with the Russians. You may say to yourself, oh yeah, that started with Donald Trump, right? The liberals said, oh, Trump colluded with the Russians. No, that did not start with Donald Trump. Folks, they tried this before. They tried it on John McCain. My book lays out stunning information about how this McCain colluded with the Russians.

This has all been tried before. Now it got shut down because George W. Bush was the president while John McCain was running against Barack Obama and Bush didn't allow the CIA to be weaponized to advance this hoax. Right, remember covering this. Folks, in detail.

Yeah. They're actually trying this thing again after they just got nailed to the wall by the IG report. Lies, omissions, bogus subsources, fake information, 17 lies over four applications to spy on innocent americans so last night there was a huge huge upset in the united kingdom i don't want to say upset and that boris johnson won and the conservatives over there but boris johnson won and won uh they they won seats in parliament far past what anybody expected they're they're not really like hard conservatives but they're they're supposed to be conservatives you get the point look at you're never going to believe this article that appears look at this in the guardian again and i i hate to put this in the show notes but you're never going to believe this this is an actual this is

not the onion look at these two dips glenn simpson and and Peter Frisch wrote this article. Who are those two? The guys, the Fusion GPS guys, the fake hoaxed ASEAN guys. This is a real article. If you're watching on YouTube, youtube.com slash Bongino, you can read ahead. The Guardian. Britain needs its own Mueller report on Russian interference. Glenn Simpson and Peter Frisch. britain needs its own muller report on russian interference glenn simpson and peter frisch this is real this is a real piece paula put up this put up the screenshot but this is not a joke

these two numbskulls who just got nailed to the wall with Fusion GPS for a bogus dossier that created the biggest political spying scandal in American history on a fake blank colluded with the Russians, in this case Trump, that they tried before on McCain and others, are the day after the UK election are trying it again. Look at this from the piece this is unbelievable this is unreal i cannot believe we are living in bizarro superman world right now quote glenn simpson peter frisch the british political system has become thoroughly compromised by russian influence don't get this off this guy i'm not even reading anymore i'm not even reading anymore the guardian actually published these two numbnuts who have just been nailed to the wall for major league fabrications of the highest order

the guardian publishes the same collusion hoax again? I swear on my life, this is not fake. That is a real article. How is the entire globe in unison not laughing at the same time at The Guardian for publishing these two zero credibility numbskulls on the same collusion hoax again for the third time. Read my book for the first time and the second time. Now you can add this. Number three, maybe I'll have to do a third book on this spygate thing. I can't believe it. I really read the article. It's hysterical. It's the same stuff again. Conflating Russian efforts to interfere in foreign countries elections. Folks, which for the Joe 50th, 60th time on the show happens every election point stipulated. Russians don't like us. every election. Point stipulated.

Russians don't like us. They interfere every time. They are not our friends. P-E-R I-O-D F-U-L-L S-T-O-P Period.

Nobody is questioning that but now you're going back again to inferring that conservatives in this case boris johnson not trump is that when you already got humiliated on you're going back to the well for the third time oh my gosh and the media will suck this up again folks they are legitimately that stupid all right a lot more to get to stack show loaded call me the snake strikes again. Oh! Again. Comey, this guy, I mean, as if it can't get any worse. Check out the story at the Washington Examiner. Again, in the show notes today, please read it.

Look at this absolute snake. Jerry Dunleavy does great work at the Washington Examiner. Bill Barr. Comey's refusal to reinstate his security clearance is creating a problem in the FISA investigation. Of course, because Jim Comey's whole tenure at the FBI was a problem. And his whole really Jim Comey's dedicated his life now to creating problems for the U.S. government. What is this about? The attorney general clearly wants to question Jim Comey regarding his activities in this major scandal. Jim Comey regarding his activities in this major scandal.

Why did the FBI lie seven times, layer 10 more lies on to spy on an innocent American when they knew the case was bunk because the FBI in January interviewed Steele's sources who said the case was bunk? Well, what's the problem? Well, they want to interview Comey, Joe. Well, in order to interview Comey, they have to show him classified information. Right. In order to show him classified information right in order to show him classified information they have to reinstate a security clearance snake jim comey sleazy jim has said because he's understood he knows how to weasel his way out of everything

jim comey because he's clever he's malicious he's engaged in malfeasance but he's clever jim said no no i don't want my security clearance. No, no, Jim, we need you because we have to show you this information. Because if we show you the information, then we can question you about what your decisions were. No, I'm not interested. Snake. But Joe, again, Joe, this guy's the pinnacle of ethics and honesty. Just ask him.

If he did, as he insists, sleazy Jim Comey, that he's done nothing wrong, as Sean Hannity calls him, the super patriot, and he's Captain Ethics, Joe, then why not just reinstate your security clearance

and look at your decision making and justify it? Why not? Ladies and gentlemen, you all know the answer because Comey's a sleaze and he knows what he did was wrong. And he's doing what he always does

ducks and run for runs for cover because he's a total coward a coward right a coward yes i called you that jim he's blocked me on twitter so he won't see that he did i'm not kidding you blocked me jim that really jim and i don't get along no now showing you how bad. Yes, shocker. This is all God. John Solomon has a piece up. Again, show notes today, really worth your time. Shockingly, folks, well, probably not to you. There's been no discipline for the people involved in this at all. John Solomon, Scott Free, FBI declares it has no records of discipline against lawyers in the Russia-Pfizer case.

Oh, jeez. You wonder why I lose faith in this sometimes? I am, all I can tell you is I am praying. I'm not kidding. For the sake of the constitutional republic. That Bill Barr and Durham are really going to bring justice to these people because what's happened so far is an utter disgrace. There's been no discipline for the lawyers. happened so far is an utter disgrace. There's been no discipline for the lawyers who signed off on FISA warrants containing 17 lies, omissions, and based on a dossier they knew was false that

they said didn't start the investigation, but they're clearly lying about because it did, because they knew about it in July when they said they heard about it in September. No, we started it because of Downer. You did? Really? Then why'd you get the information in July about the dossier and say you got it in September i don't know golly idiots well again big election in the uk last night i'm just briefly i know it's an important story but there's so much going on here uh boris johnson won just a quick note on that it's a story up in the washington hammer being the show notes today as well they won a ton of seats in parliament ladies and gentlemen I think a clear data point takeaway from the election victory last night, listen, this has been a total rejection of globalism. The global bureaucracy, ladies and gentlemen, has failed.

That I think is indicated and pointed to the election of Donald Trump. It has also led to the election of Boris Johnson. People are fed up up they're entirely fed up with the global bureaucracy these bureaucrats are complete idiots and this entire fbi spygate story i think just reaffirms what's happening all over the globe where people are tiring of this why do i say the johnson election and i'm not trying to get too deep into uk politics was about that because what did johnson run on joe he ran on brexit getting the hell away from the european union people are fed up with the european union and global bureaucracies it's as simple as that make america great again was trump's logo was it make the european union

great again and boris johnson ran on the same general tenor and that's how we won all right a lot more to get to impeachment Impeachment. Big news. Just passed it out of committee before a 23-17 vote. The fake hoax impeachment. Folks, this is blowing up in their face. Look at this piece by Paul Bedard, the Washington Examiner. 52% of Americans say don't impeach Trump after the hearings. So they present their case one-sided because the Democrats run the House.

You would think they moved the numbers on impeachment. Yeah, we got to get rid of this guy. We heard Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler's best case. Yeah, they moved the numbers in the wrong direction. A pretty strong majority of Americans now say don't impeach. This is working out well. And why are they not interested in impeaching President Trump? Probably because the economy is doing great and he's doing a great job. But other than that, the committee's being led by complete buffoons. One of them who thought the island of Guam was going to sink under pressure. Remember him, Representative Hank Johnson?

Well, if we put the ships on, is the island going to sink? That was a real YouTube video. You can look at it yourself. I don't have time for it today. But here's a video of Hank Johnson. Guam is going to sink Hank Johnson, Democrat, who is really upset that President Trump in his meeting with the Ukrainian President Zelensky, that President Trump is too tall and had a bigger chair.

Folks, I'm not messing with you. Hank Johnson brought this up in an impeachment. He's really upset that President Trump's chair was bigger. Watch this complete idiocy. Check this out. My colleague from Georgia talks about how Democrats are trying to make President Zelensky look weak. Well, I tell you, that brings to mind the picture of President Trump and President Zelensky meeting in New York in September at the UN and a big chair for President Trump, little chair for President Zelensky, big six foot four President Trump, five foot 11 Mr. Zelensky, President Zelensky. Don, too tall Trump. Folks, this is really happening.

This is not a joke. Again, like the Guardian story about new collusion. None of this is a joke. This is really happening. Hank Johnson, concerned about Guam sinking, is also apparently concerned about Zelensky sinking in his chair in a meeting with Donald Trump because Trump is too tall for him. This is real. This really happened. Now you wonder why, as the Daily Mail points out in another piece

you'll see in the show notes, the Democrats are now concerned about mass defections on their side and the impeachment vote when it gets, remember, it just was voted out of committee today. Still got to go to the full House floor where they need a simple majority. Daily Mail. Democrats admit they expect more defections from vulnerable House Democrats who will vote against impeaching Donald Trump. Folks, this will be the first impeachment in American history. It's bipartisan. Bipartisan.

It is? Yes. Against the impeachment. They will get no republicans zero and as i predicted on fox and friends in my studio hit yesterday on the show i'm trying to get away from political predictions but i'm reasonably comfortable telling you they had two defections on the initial motion to proceed with impeachment two democrats who said no no republicans agreed to do it. Bipartisan against moving on impeachment.

The actual impeachment floor vote, I'm predicting between five, maybe 10, possibly more defections on the Democrat side, but no Republicans. Ladies and gentlemen, this will be a tragic face plant for the Democrats in the face of history. This will be a colossal embarrassment. That's why 52, this is the good news. Disimpeachment is like a fundraising effort

for the Donald Trump 2020 reelection campaign. All right. My final story of the day is funny. Yeah, it's really good. If you want to, folks, again, please, if you want to watch the video of the show, and I know a lot of people are, they like listening to us on audio and they're kind of, that's great. We'll always be a podcast video of the show, and I know a lot of people, they like listening to us on audio, and that's great. It will always be a podcast first. But the video, we put a lot of work into it. Please subscribe to our YouTube channel. We're trying to get to 400,000 subscribers.

YouTube.com slash Bongino. YouTube.com slash Bongino. Please subscribe. It's all free. You can watch the video. Me and Paula and Joe, we work our magic over here. But this video audio is worth your time. Again, just when you think you've seen the dumbest AOC video,

here's AOC talking about a parental leave policy where she compares. It's not a joke. Again, this is not the onion. The title of today's show should be not the onion, the guardian, the Hank Johnson in this club. This is AOC comparing the family leave policies for human beings with her suggested family leave policies for dogs um canines dog you're like come on dude this is stupid no no no this this is not doctored

hat tip heritage foundation for this video by the way romina boccia aoc concerned about family leave policies for dogs that just had puppies check this out okay do you believe employers should offer health care to every employee that that they have i think that is part of a benefits package they should determine what is the best way and what do the workers okay so no you don't believe it should be uniformly offered um i think it should be what workers want and what employers okay so the answer is no um so and similarly your your view on parental leave is to let the market decide. Do we know how long puppies are allowed to stay with their mothers after a dog has given birth? I don't.

Eight weeks. So the market has decided that women and people who give birth deserve less time with their children than a dog. And I think that that, at its core, has shown that the market has failed to treat people with dignity and with basic respect. And so when that happens, I think it's our job as the public to redefine the rules of society and to treat people who give birth with the dignity that they deserve. Thank you very much. What? What, what, what just happened? i did folks listen to me that was not joe you did not mess with that right that's real just to be clear because you know the washington post joe democracy dies in

the darkness they think everything's you did not doctor that right no that's a full thought oh well folks aoc is that's a real she's concerned one, I didn't know there was an eight-week puppy, mama dog, family leave policy. I'd never heard of that policy. I'm sure, is that an official policy? Like, is that a global eight-week doggy leave policy? I mean, do they get a check? Is it a direct deposit, like an ACH kind of thing?

I mean, how does the dog spend the money? Is it a direct deposit, like an ACH kind of thing? I mean, how does the dog spend the money? Is it a credit card, like a SNAP benefits card? How does he get the family there? Does she get the family leave mama doggy? I mean, what's the penalty? If the puppy's taken away in violation of the eight-week family leave doggy policy, AOC seems to be well informed about what happens. Is there jail time for the doggy police? Do you go to doggy jail? Does the ASPCA come lock you up? I mean, what happens?

Is there a fine for the doggy mama, the doggy dad? Because, you know, I know people, a lot of people who took puppies after two or three weeks. Is the FBI opening a Spygate investigation now? Is Fusion GPS coming in alleging doggy russian collusion i mean what happens is who's gonna get involved here is it the dea or another federal lady who has oversight over the doggy leave aoc policy exactly because i've never heard this policy the eight-week doggy family leave policy i mean is it a contract that they put their paw down? Like, put your paw here.

Do they snip their claws so they can put a little thing between their bed and they go sign an X, doggy. Do they sign their dog name? Is it the dog last name? Like, if you have a dog like we have, like baby, is it baby Bongino? I mean, what the hell just happened?

That's a real thing. This is your new scion of the Democrat Party. This is your savior. Captain eight weeks of doggy leave. The same one who took a victory lap for booting 25,000 jobs out of New York City. And it took a victory lap when 1,000 came in. 1,000? 25,000?
