get ready to hear the truth about america on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host dan bongino what the hades is this how is this not a huge story how what's that what do you mean what's this what are you talking about what's the this and the what's this? There is a proposal out there by the big tech totalitarians to basically fingerprint your computer fingerprint, not like actually fingerprint like the dust, like we're used to in the Starsky and Hutch thing. Hey, lift the print Starsky. No, no. I mean, like put a digital fingerprint on your computer. Why would they want to do that? Wouldn't be much of a use to ban your social media account if you could then get your conservative ideas out there elsewhere.

But what if, what if they could fingerprint your actual computer and shut you down at your CPU? Oh, that would be really incredibly bad, wouldn't it? We are descending into total censorship, Soviet Union- style madness. Don't worry, I've got the details coming up on the show today. They've now banned six Dr. Seuss books. We are descending into total madness. I got an email from a listener too, just now before

the show, Brian, who woke me up a little bit. Folks, it is, I cannot emphasize to you enough, we have got to get back in this fight stat. We're descending into total madness at a rapid pace.

All right.

What in Hades is this thing? Bingo! All right. What in Hades is this thing? Let's get right to it. This article in Breitbart by the great Alam Bakari, who I interviewed on my show, who has been all over big tech tyranny. Folks, if this article doesn't scare the living out of you,

daylights will keep it family friendly out of you. I don't know what will. Alam Bakari, Breitbart. This is in the show notes, by the way. If you don't read today's show notes, I'm sorry. You're out of the loop. You got to read this story. Bongino.com slash newsletter.

It's right there, right at the top of the show notes. Alan Bakari, Microsoft and friends want to destroy online privacy. Gosh, that doesn't sound good. That sounds really bad. what exactly are they doing i'll get to that in a second here but you know liberal big tech tyranny step number one joe was let's just get those troublesome conservatives remember scooby doo those meddling little kids let's get those meddling troublesome conservatives libertarians and republicans off the internet. You know how we do it.

We use our big tech buddies, Twitter and Facebook, and we can just ban sanction and throttle their accounts. YouTube as well. I've got more stories than this. The second we can get Amazon to ban books. Dan, that's not happening.

No, it's happening right now. Like right now, like as we speak, but I've got a better idea. Amazon banning books, Apple banning Parler, Google banning Parler, Twitter banning accounts, YouTube pulling videos down. Sounds kind of totalitarian to me, but leftists, of course, love that because they're communists.

They're turned into communist sleaze, a lot of these leftists, totalitarian thugs, right? But there's a better way to do this, Joe, a better way. Leave it to the big tech tyrants to do the communist Chinese work for them every single time. What if you just didn't get to ban books? What if you got to ban conservatives from using their computers altogether by tracing any material they put out right back to them. My gosh, that sounds really bad. How is this not a story again?

Let's get to what they're actually doing here. Breitbart, Alan Bakari, quote, against stiff competition. The alliance of tech and media giants has devised a plan that may constitute big tech's most brazen power grab yet oh you think according to microsoft's press release joe they released this that's the crazy part they actually released this they're happy about this it is partnered with several other organizations to form the orwellian named coalition for content provenance provenance and authenticity it sounds like a star wars character the c2pa cousin to c3po so the c2pa put simply the purpose of this organization is to devise a system whereby all content listen to me folks listen to me, folks. Listen to me, folks, whereby all content on the internet

can be traced back to its author. Now, if you're a totalitarian thug, you love that idea. Troublesome thoughts, we should be able to trace all of that stuff. This sounds great. Now, Guy's kind of new here, but he had a great idea this morning. You know, he comes in. By the way, anything you tell me is fair game for the show, unless you tell me otherwise. Guy's sitting right there. I just want you to know that's a rule.

Email too. If you email me, it's fair game, unless you tell me not to say it, then I'll never say it. So I'm sure it's okay, right? But Guy said to me this morning, I got a good idea because you've had an interesting life. You know, he listens to the Jocko podcast. J podcast jaco willink who was a guest on my show once who's a fascinating guy he says you know you should tie some of your life stories to stuff on these kind

of videos we do and all this other stuff and i was like yeah cool whatever but it this particular story reminded me of my young years when the Secret Service, when I found out that computer printers leave a digital fingerprint on whatever you print. I mean, one of the reasons it was done and the Secret Service probably enjoyed this in our younger days was because if you printed a counterfeit note

using a computer printer, it made it easier to track it back to an actual printer. And you know, the first thing I thought when I heard that, even as a young man, I thought, Joe, that's kind of scary. What if I print information about the government, you know, and the government doesn't like it? Does that mean they can trace that too? I remember even as a young man thinking, I'm not so sure I like that.

I like the whole idea of, whole idea of privacy and stuff. Yeah. That was a computer printer. Now imagine your entire computer, anything coming out of it, they could trace it back to you. Oh, this story gets worse. Let's go to screenshot number two. According to Microsoft, which is proud of this, the coalition, the C2PA, was created for a single purpose, to stop the spread of disinformation. Here we go, Armacost, disinformation, i.e. conservative thought, which in modern establishment journo-speak means information that challenges establishment narratives. Disinformation, based on how the word is used today, might as well be called dissident

information. Remember what I said yesterday, real, real renegades and dissidents will never, ever have a safe space. What side are you on? You the conformist or are you the dissident? Goes on. According to Microsoft's press release, the coalition has been established, quote, According to Microsoft's press release, the coalition has been established, quote, listen to this nightmare of a paragraph Microsoft is so proud of. It's established the C2PA, quote, to address the prevalence of disinformation, misinformation and online content fraud through developing technical standards for certifying the source and history of provenance of media content. Wow. Fingerprinting your computer to combat quote disinformation. My gosh, ladies and gentlemen, we are descending into total madness at an exponentially growing pace. And if you can't engage in the fight now, then please step aside and stop wasting oxygen on people who will, because this is really,

really dangerous. Now, of course, the media is involved in this, too. The media, I thought they were for freedom of speech. That's hilarious. The verdict is in. You're an idiot. You thought the media was for freedom of speech? Maybe like 100 years ago.

That's all gone now. The media with their liberal buddies are the primary advocates against big R God-given rights and free speech. They love totalitarianism. Here's the third part of this Breitbart piece. If you don't read this, I'm really sorry. I can't help you. You got to read this piece. If you don't go to my show notes, just go to Breitbart and look it up. It's not about the clicks. It's about the knowledge. Breitbart, look it up. It's not about the clicks. It's about the knowledge. The precursor to this coalition, Joe, Project Origin, included the New York Times, the BBC, the CBC, and Radio Canada. Their mission statement, here it is, Joe, declares Project Origin. The media's involved. Misinformation. Misinformation, by the way, hilarious. They

should say conservative thought. Misinformation is a growing threat to the integrity the information ecosystem having a provable source of origin for media they want to track you they're not even hiding it and knowing it has not been tampered with in route will help to maintain confidence in news from joe trusted provider. Of course. Oh my God. Folks, what do we got to do? What do we have to do? I'm not talking to you. You're watching my show. You're obviously engaged. You're involved.

You understand the fight we're in. But what do we have to do to wake the napping masses out there? So what did someone tell me this weekend? I was at CPAC. I'm sorry to the guy I was talking to who said this to me. I met a lot of people. But he said to me, the biggest problem in America right now, this is a great line.

Everybody get rid of it. Cotton out of the ears for a moment. He said, it's intellectual obesity. I said, that's the greatest line ever. I love that. Whoever told me that at CPAC, forgive me, I said, that's the greatest line ever. I love that. Whoever told me that at CPAC, forgive me, I forget. That was a genius line. How do you get obese?

How do you get obese? You eat, you take in calories and you don't move or do anything. How do you get intellectually obese? You take in a lot of information, but you do nothing about it. And you sit there and you slowly die. A little bit of yourself dies off each and every day.

Folks, listen, man, I'm not screwing around with you. I don't got time for that anymore. You have got to get in this fight. Dan, stop wearing a cello. No, no, no, I'm not. The people listening who are in the fight right now don't need it. But the people who aren't, if you're not, what are you waiting for?

You're waiting for your library to clean out its contents and literally start burning the books? No, that won't happen. Dan, you sure about that? You're waiting for the police to knock on your door because Project Origin and the C2PA found a digital fingerprint of a pdf file you created criticizing the government's voting procedures oh damn that won't happen really

you sure about that folks it's not just that we're descending into total madness and authoritarianism that's that's obvious if you don't believe that, tune out now. The show's not for you. Please, seriously, stop sucking up bandwidth on the internet. I don't need your views. It's not just that we're descending into total authoritarian madness. It's that it's happening at a rate,

at a rate of speed, I didn't even think was possible. I thought it would take more time. I knew we were heading down this road. Totalitarianism, authoritarianism, the new socialism. I knew we were headed down this road. But being entirely candid with you, I did not think it would happen this fast.

Folks, we are descending into madness. Madness. There is a consortium of media and big tech people who want to develop a system to basically fingerprint the CPU on your computer to track and control, quote, misinformation and disinformation. And that doesn't concern you at all? How many times have I warned on this show that the very hallmark of communist totalitarian regimes is what? Is what? Forget about the economic. Well, there's very little difference between economics and politics,

if you read Hayek. But putting that aside for a minute, if you had to put one single big blue ribbon on socialism and describe on that ribbon what socialism and totalitarianism is, what is it? It's the blurring of the lines between the private and the public self. In a freedom-loving society, one where individual God-given rights are respected, that's not the society we live in anymore, sadly. Sadly. Really sadly.

Sadly, really sadly. There is a line between the private and the public self. When you're in your house with your family, when you're at a private event with friends, you assume that your thoughts and your conversations, that these are private, that you can speak freely, you have the right to speak freely, that you have the right to assemble, you have the right to petition your government that you have the right to assemble. You have the

right to petition your government. You assumed all that was real. You had that private self where you could live that private life. And then there are things you do in public that are different. The private you and the public you are entirely different. When you're out on the, you know, the beltway in Washington, DC in your car, your car, you do things different. You don't pick your nose in the car most of the time. Once in a while, you'll see it. But why? Because you're like, gosh, someone would see that. Well, why does it matter? Because you'd be embarrassed and you don't want to do it. Imagine you felt you were being watched all the time in your house, your computer, your fingerprint on your computer, every email you send, your cameras could be hacked into at any time.

Cameras in your house and elsewhere. Imagine that feeling. You don't have to imagine it. You could move to Cuba now or North Korea or other totalitarian regimes. Oh my gosh, Dan, that's not coming here. You sure? Because we're doing the work for the Chinese and the North Koreans right now, but we're doing it in conjunction with big tech and the media that wants to make sure they know every single thing that happens on your computer. That's a conspiracy theory. Really?

Microsoft put out a press release about, is that a conspiracy theory too? Alan Bakari's just making all that up. What if there was no more private self? What if the private you was a public you every single time? You cool with that? Being watched and monitored everywhere, your travel habits through your E-ZPass and your SunPass, every single PDF you create, every email you send, every website you visit.

You okay with that? Everything being able to trace back to you by people who can randomly declare what you say disinformation or misinformation. You okay with that? Folks, we are descending into total madness. I've said it now 10 times. At a pace so dramatically compressed from what I thought

that I don't know what tomorrow will bring and it scares the hell out of me. Okay, so what do you do? We've got to re-engage in this fight. Ladies and gentlemen, if you can, take your business, take yourself, and get the hell out of these illiberal states as soon as you can. Immediately. As soon as you can, take your business, take yourself, and get the hell out of these illiberal states as soon as you can, immediately, as soon as you can. If you can, if it's even possible, get out. We could use the reinforcements down here in places like Florida and Texas, where governors down here are actually taking action against these big tech tyrants right now. We need the backup. We need the support. But second, you can start engaging in this fight today by doing these things,

supporting solid candidates in primaries right now who understand that cancel culture, totalitarianism, big tech tyranny, and election reform are the two issues that matter. You can get involved right now. Seek them out. Get to your local conservative club tomorrow. That's how I wound up here today. I got pissed off after the election of Barack Obama. Found myself in the Elephant Club in Severna Park, Maryland the next day. That's why I'm here talking to you right now. The Elephant Club. We did six members.

I was the seventh. That's all they had. That's how I got involved. That's why I'm talking to you right now. There's no more sitting this out. Brian, who emails me regularly, he's a listener from Wisconsin, brought up something to me this morning. Well, Dan, we need all, everyone. No, no, we don't.

I'd love that. That's why I'm trying to motivate you to do something and stop talking about it. We need to do stuff. The do matters. I said it in the CPAC speech. Talk about it. We need to do stuff. The do matters. I said it in the CPAC speech. Talk is great. I talk for a living. The do matters. I did it. I ran for office. I started this show. I've started alternative platforms. I'm not speaking with forked tongue. I'm out there doing it. I've got more plans coming next. I'll announce soon. I'm not done. You have to help me. You have to help everyone. The do matters. Brian reminded me in his email that it was less than 3% of American

patriots who stood up for liberty and freedom in the American revolution that took down the most powerful army in the history of the world at that time, the British empire, 3%. And he reminded me that it was less than 10% of colonials that helped fund them. And he reminded me that it was less than 10% of colonials that helped fund them. Three out of every hundred people, three out of every hundred people fought for liberty and freedom and defeated the largest empire in the world.

The most powerful army in the history of humankind at that time. Three. Our fight is different. Violence is a leftist thing. That's not our thing. Our fight is different. Our fight is a lot easier than their fight, so there's no excuses. Let's pick it up. Let's get candidates right now. Let's pick up our businesses and our people and get out of these liberal states as soon as possible and move where freedom and liberty are respected. Let's do what we can to not support companies that support this kind of thing. Let's get off Amazon. Amazon's censoring books. Let's stop buying books from Amazon.

Twitter censors your account. Stop posting on Twitter. Again, I'm not asking you to do all of this. I understand people for their own reasons have to stay someplace, but there's one of them you can pick. Send a letter to Microsoft. 3%. I don't know how accurate that number is. Ryan's a smart guy.

But 3%. We need to get up and re-engage now or you're not going to have a country left. This is really terrifying. This totalitarian madness we're descending into. All right, I've got more. I've got some examples ahead. I've also got some video I want to get to of, again, it's a gun confiscation measure now being pushed by Joe Biden. It just never stops.

The assaults on your liberty and freedom happen every day. Don't go anywhere. I've also got some immigration video, too, that's worth seeing. Let me take a quick break for our sponsor today's show, brought to you again by our friends at Raycon. I don't know about you, but I feel like I'm always looking at a screen now more than ever. You want to have a news watcher or you're in serious need of a distraction, unplugging yourself is easier said than done. One of my favorite ways to rest my eyes and get the content I'm itching for is by putting in my, these are my actual earbuds here, my Raycon

wireless earbuds and listening to something great. Here's one of the other reasons I like them. I'm on calls all day about projects I'm working on. If you know what I mean, folks, I just don't want the phone near my ear all the time. So I use mine. These are mine right there. All nice and charged and ready to go. Look how cool they are too. They fit my ear. They're the only ones that don't fall out. That's why I love them. Whether you're catching up in your favorite news podcast, you're on a conference call, you're binging on some, binging on some tunes or an audio book, you're working out, whatever it may be, a pair of Raycons in your ears makes all the difference. They look cool too. No dangling wires, no stems to get in your way. Raycon comes in a range of stylish

colors, but always with a comfortable in-ear fit for a more discreet look. Raycons are built to perform anywhere, anytime. They're water and sweat resistant. Construction and Bluetooth pairs quickly and seamlessly. I did it like that. And with enough battery life for six hours of playtime, you can unplug for a while. It listens to some tunes on a flight, which is what I do too. The best part, Raycon makes great sound accessible to everyone with wireless earbuds starting at half the price of other premium audio brands. Raycon's offering 15% off all their products for my listeners.

These are really cool. Take them, check them out. All right, let's get back to the show.

So yeah, total madness at a rate I've never expected in my life. I mean, where are our liberal friends on this? Look at these stories. I'm going to power through here quickly. Where are our liberal friends on this? Like the ACLU and others who claim to have fought for liberty and freedom. I mean, remember that movie, that Michael Douglas movie? What was it? The American President? Was that the movie where the whole ACLU thing comes up? He's obviously a liberal president. It's about him dating this woman, Annette Bening. Benning. And at one point he's lecturing the Republican candidate for president in the movie. And he's like, I'm a member of the ACLU, Bob, why aren't you? And everybody's like, Hey, what happened to that? Hollywood liberals, even fake liberal presidents like Michael Douglas

being all for like American civil liberties. That's what ACLU, the American civil liberties union used to stand for. Where, where are they? Where are they in all this? You're totally cool with Microsoft and others tracking your information back to your source so there's no misinformation. You're cool with that? What about this one? You're cool with this story from the New York Post? Amazon turns from bookseller to censor by dropping transgenderism book. Post editorial board be in the show notes today. Amazon's now not publishing books with quote unapproved ideas folks. Joe, unapproved thoughts

and words will not be allowed on Amazon. I just heard today too. I'll probably get into a little more of this tomorrow. Not sure but apparently six Dr. Seuss books will now no longer be printed either for a quote racist imagery so rather than reading the dr seuss books and explaining the imagery to your kids in a nuanced tone so they understand the history

of where the country was and depictions over time of people rather than explaining that. No, no, let's just ban them outright. It's not a joke. There are six Dr. Seuss books that are now not going to be published anymore. We are now in not just the book burning. Book burning would be easier because book on our psyches, because at least the book would be printed first. So Joe, you could tackle someone before they burned it and maybe save a few seared pages. No, no.

Now that this is worse than book burning. Now we're not even publishing them anymore. What about this story? Epic times again in the show notes today, YouTube suspends Rudy Giuliani over quote their election integrity policy and his nicotine use. Oh my gosh. Can't have that.

Yeah. Wow. You can't have that man yeah wow you can't have that that's kind of that's just uh nicotine use and here's a screenshot from that piece youtube we're now again unapproved thoughts folks unapproved thoughts and words can't have that a youtube spokeswoman said in a statement to bloomberg and other outlets said they removed Giuliani's content channel for violating their sale of regulated goods policy, which prohibits content facilitating the use of nicotine. Oh, and there's an end here. And our presidential election integrity policy. Talk about the election using unapproved thoughts. YouTube's coming for you, too. I'm sure Microsoft's all in on that one.

But don't worry, the media loves it. Here's another gem I have in the show notes today. The Epoch Times making a number of appearances in the show notes today. House Democrats attempt to pressure TV carriers could trigger a lawsuit. Alan Dershowitz, article by Zachary Steiber in the Epoch Times.

What's this about? Well, a couple of Alan Dershowitz, article by Zachary Steiber in the Epoch Times. What's this about? Well, a couple of tyrant, totalitarian, communist House Democrats sent a letter to the cable carriers saying, hey, what are you doing? Cancel, excuse me, carrying Fox News, Newsmax, OAN and others. You know, these are unapproved thoughts and statements.

Here are the two communists, Representative Jerry McNerney from California and shocker, shocker Joe, they're from California. And communist number two, you remember what I said, number one and two, Dr. Seuss, right? One and two. And Anna Eschew, another communist, sent a letter to 12 carriers, cable news carriers, urging them to de-platform or otherwise take action against Fox News, Newsmax and OAN for spreading misleading information about the January 6th Capitol breach. Notice she didn't send a letter asking the deplatformed CNN for promoting the pee-pee hoax and the collusion hoax. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, because those are approved thoughts.

So if you read the story, Alan Dershowitz, who's a Harvard-trained lawyer, Dershowitz is a liberal, by the way. Dershowitz is like, hey, that sounds awfully like a first amendment violation. Government officials pressuring a private company to sanction speech that they can't formally sanction themselves because of that troublesome thing, Joe, called the first amendment. That sounds like a threat. Dershowitz even says it. He says, listen, in that letter, that's not a question. That's a threat Dershowitz even says it he says listen in that letter that's not a question

that's a threat he says that comes with a potential lawsuit for a declaratory judgment at least saying Congress has no authority to tell or suggest or even imply to cable operators they should take people off the air as a result of content someone want to sue? can we get someone to sue, please, immediately? Is that possible?

Can we get someone to sue right now? We're descending into total madness right in front of our eyes. Here's another one. Here's a professor. I have to use the air quotes, professor, because you know, professor, they're only professing their allegiance to totalitarianism. Here's a professor, Dr. Sarah T. Roberts. Sounds very formal, Joe. Dr. Sarah T. Roberts. You got to throw the middle initial in there, too. She is on social media.

And she put out that she's a verified blue checkmark account on Twitter. So that means she's smarter than you and I, Joe. We're just idiots. What do we know, right? she's smarter than you and I, Joe. We're just idiots. What do we know, right? You know, Substack,

where journalists who are fired for unapproved thoughts can go to publish their thoughts because they don't have to be approved by an editor. Sorry, I think I put something in my mouth. Sarah T. Roberts doesn't like Substack because they're unapproved thoughts. And, you know,

she's part of the word police, of course. And she says, Substack is a dangerous direct threat to traditional news media but more importantly it's a threat to journalism listen to the liberals who listen to this show i know there's a lot of you do you not understand you are being played for suckers? Do you not understand that dangerous, potentially violent, totalitarian thugs

are eager to rip your very right to exist away from you and they are using you and your political animus towards Donald Trump and conservatives as useful idiots to implement a very dark future that you will look back on one day and say, my gosh, how did we get here? How did we get here? You did it. You didn't have the guts to stand up and say, this doesn't sound right. Tracking people's computers and fingerprinting them to track misinformation,

pushing cable carriers off the air for unapproved thoughts, burning books before they're even allowed to exist by not allowing them to be published or sold on platforms, suspending people's video YouTube accounts because they had unapproved thoughts about an election. You know what? That really doesn't sound right. And liberals don't ask themselves hard questions because they're not very smart. But you think liberals would say to themselves, if this was such an effective strategy and we were on the right moral arc of history, then why aren't conservatives doing this to us? Why? Why aren't conservatives trying to have liberals booted off youtube liberal books burned or not printed at all why isn't that happening why aren't conservatives the one pushing

ones pushing for your computer to be basically fingerprinted so we can track your misinformation why aren't we doing that the answer is because i'm proud to be a conservative chest out shoulders back chin high you You know why? We respect big R God-given rights for everyone, even our political opponents. We have an emergency break on our behavior. It's the Lord Almighty. It's values and principles we believe in because of faith and family. Our ideology prevents us from attacking you and your big R God-giveniven rights, because they're not big R, God-given rights,

if they only apply to conservatives and not liberals too. That's why we'll never do to you what you do to us. We can't. There's an emergency break in our behavior. But if you're a radical leftist, there's no emergency break on your behavior. Your God is government. And whatever power and tools and force and violence they have to use to get what they want, you'll support it because there's nothing stopping you. Your quest for power is not limited by anything. There's no

emergency brake on that car. It rolls downhill until it crashes. And when it crashes, you'll wonder what happened. And the answer is you happened. Because you weren't smart enough to realize you were being used to take away the rights of others. And when your rights became a casualty of war, you foe outrage. Oh, how did that? How did that? I didn't see it.

I didn't see it coming. No, I warned you. So did, we warned you on the show. You're descending into total madness. All right, I want to get to next. Talk about more rights going away. Your right to defend yourself. God forbid you had that, Joe.

The liberals defund the police. Also liberals take away people's guns too, huh? Speaking of people in the fight with me, Patriot Mobile. Happy to have them as a sponsor.

Don't wait. All right. Talking about other big R God given rights that are evaporating at a, uh, just exponentially growing pace here. Here's an article by the Washington examiner be in the show notes today. Biden's quote, common sense gun law reforms make no sense by Tristan hood,

where they address the fact that Biden again wants to get rid of. Here we go, Joe. Assault weapons. So what do they mean by assault weapons? Yeah, nobody on the left knows what assault weapons means, but that's intentional. Why? Why, why, why? The reason is the term sounds scary. Oh, my gosh, we don't want assault weapons in our community. Who wants that? That sounds terrible. scary. Oh my gosh, we don't want assault weapons in our community. Who wants that? That sounds terrible. But then when you ask him very simple questions like,

well, golly, what does that actually mean, an assault weapon? Because you want to ban it, I'd kind of like to know what it means, right? It's weird that they never really have a perimeter around what that means. Why? Why would that be? Because they want it

to mean everything. An assault weapon will mean your slingshot. Remember wrist rockets when you were a kid? Remember that? I had one of those. Loved them. Those were great. I know.

Caused a lot of trouble with that. That'll be next. That'll be an assault weapon next. That's why they never put a fence around what it means. Now, I found this video. Don't ask me how. I have been talking about this on the show for five years and i've

never been able to locate it when i was a maryland political activist and candidate in the liberal soon-to-be communist state of maryland sadly i used to go on local shows and just debate the snot out of people and it was so much fun so this is a a show I did with a guy Joe Armacost knows, a liberal activist named Billy Murphy. Oh, yeah. And another guy who was a state senator at the time and later went on to be the attorney general of Maryland. A far left radical leftist, Brian Frosh. This was a classic.

I got two clips here. This is me going at it. If you can watch the video, by the way, the video is a little tighter than the audio. Rumble.com slash Bongino. It adds more. You'll see my facial expressions are classic. I hate putting up clips of myself. I know self-praise things. But here's an example how to debate leftists because they're going to start coming for your assault weapon soon. Just ask them what it is. They have a really hard time. Check out clip one from this debate and watch this guy get really pissed as I ask him, hey, can you define an assault weapon?

He has no idea. Check this out. Look, the assault weapon ban, when it was national, saved lives. Maryland's assault weapon ban will save lives. There's no need for these military style weapons for civilian use. Well, Senator Farage is a lawyer. I'm assuming he's looked at the data. The DOJ's own study says the exact opposite. I suggest you take a look at that. Mr. Murphy said something completely inaccurate. Automatic weapons are not legal to purchase. You need a Class 3 federal firearms license, so that's not an accurate statement. Semi-automatic weapons are legal, so that's just not accurate. And as for assault weapons, can you define what that is? Is there a

non-assault weapon? I'm unsure as to what exactly you're talking about. Come on, man, let's be real. If you go in a gun store and you ask for an assault weapon, the man's not going to have any problem understanding what you're saying. Really? What did you say? It's only right-wing gun nuts that are taking this debate to an extreme

level. So let's don't argue about the obvious. Listen, I hate, you should never, there's a, Guy, would you agree, Paul? Let's take a, Joe, isn't the golden rule of it, you never play your own clips? You just don't. It looks like a, hey, look at me.

Pat yourself on the back. I'm sorry. I have to break that rule this time that was one of my favorite debate when i got off that set that guy was so pissed joe knows him by the way not a bad these aren't beggar they're just totalitarians they want to take but you know they just you know maybe they are bigger who knows but joe knew him whatever um it's fascinating he wants government power to use it to take away an item he can't even define and then he's mad at me because i ask him he's like you're there right wing gung nuts you go on it you know exactly what it means it doesn't matter if i know what it means you want to take it away what do you want to take i don't know go to a gun store and ask them huh what i have been looking for that clip forever you have no idea the guys the attorney general of

maryland or the other guy not billy murphy they want to ban something they don't even know what it is then they cite studies that cite the opposite the department of justice study on assault weapons conducted in the clinton administration said the opposite of what frosh was saying that it had no effect on crime the assault weapons ban just look it up it was clinton's justice but it's not hard to find use the interweb i mean that's why it started with, I'm like, this is hilarious. You're running for attorney general. You didn't even read the study you're citing.

This is why as a conservative, you only need like an IQ of 101 to beat a liberal in a debate because their IQs are 56. They just don't know anything. Here's part two to this. By the way, this was like an hour show it got more hostiles when i'm telling you after it was over they hated my guts they couldn't get out of there quick enough because they were embarrassed i want a band and assault weapon what is an assault weapon hell if i know go ask a gun shop guy but you want a banded here's part two of this check this out did you notice what I said at the beginning of the show? You were going to use emotion,

not reason. Did you notice how the emotion kicked in? Never defined what an assault weapon is. No, this is important. And then resorted to the right wing nutshell, but never answered the question. They can't define what an assault weapon is because it's based strictly on the only person in the United States still takes the view that you can't define what the assault weapon is. Hold on. Federal law defines it. You still haven't defined it. It's defined in the state law.

It's defined in state laws now. What's the difference between an assault weapon and a non-assault weapon? Who cares? There is a difference. The people who use the right to carry arms care. There is a definition. Oh, give me a break. You're taking their rights.

Are you not? All you have to do is read the statute. All you have to do is read the statute. The definition is in the statute. Yeah, I definitely, what's, well, tell us what it is. Why do I have to tell you read the statute. All you have to do is read the statute. The definition of the statute. Well, tell us what it is. Why do I have to tell you if you don't know? We're going to go look for that statute.

We'll be back in a minute. I just don't know what it is. This is awesome. I'm laughing at myself like it's not me, like I wasn't there. I can't believe it. He wants to ban something at the federal level citing a state statute he doesn't even know he doesn't even know what it is and then he says to me why am I laughing at myself you should never I need a retract oh I need to retract this segment of the show with my own

I'm giving myself thank you to the retraction alpaca. You should never laugh at your own jokes. Retract this from me. I can't help it. He says to me at one point, Joe, a reverse tautology. He goes, you must be the only person in America who doesn't know what an assault weapon is. After not knowing what an assault weapon is, then did he miss that?

Maybe there are two people in america me and him because he doesn't know either and he wants to ban it he doesn't even know someone should ask the cognitively compromised joe biden to lay out the perimeter of what exactly an assault weapon is. Just a suggestion. If Joe Biden ever answers a question ever during his entire presidency, if he ever does a press conference again, so much, you probably, I'm just going to throw that out there to the media, you know, the sane media, not the totalitarian C, C2PA cousin to C3POpo media i mean like the real media journalists like peter ducey maybe you want to ask him that like what exactly is an assault can you define

that exactly black colored weapons that look scary that sounds racist to me i don't know the only person in america doesn't know what an assault weapon is obviously not you just asked me so there's probably two me and you at a minimum oh my gosh all right i got more video ahead let me get to my last sponsor and then uh i want to get to these two videos this is one of those transitions from one topic to the next like i told you a couple people on radio who are doing shows and which means like how do you transition i'm like i don't. You just tell people you're going to talk about something else. Is there a fancy way to do it? I'm not really sure. Is there some radio school armor cost one, two, and three?

This is how you do it. No, you just say, I'm done talking about that. And there's another topic next. It's about immigration. And you know what? You know what it features? A Milton Friedman video, which Joe already got to see, because I love Milton Friedman,

who really understood the basic math of immigration, Joe, and said, that doesn't make sense if we do immigration that way. Stay tuned. All right, our last sponsor today, our friends at Grove.

Okay, moving on. So yesterday in the White House, a disinformation campaign, is Microsoft going to track that, too, with the C3PO, C2PA, whatever may be P.A.R.A.X.Y.Z.1, 2, 3.

Who knows? There was a big disinformation briefing at the Biden White House, not by Joe Biden, because Joe Biden doesn't actually answer questions. doesn't actually answer questions. But our new DHS secretary, one of the most clueless human beings I've ever seen give a briefing on the White House podium or elsewhere, he got up in the Brady press room and gave a briefing on immigration. But he stumbles right out of the gate

trying to defend his numbers about the lack of a crisis at the border. In other words, the beginning of this, I had to leave out, but he's asked if there's a crisis at the border and Mayorkas, the new DHS secretary, but he's asked if there's a crisis at the border. And Mayorkas, the new DHS secretary in Dubai, is like, there's no crisis, Joe.

There's no crisis down there. And the reporter's like, well, kind of sounds like a crisis. We got thousands of people coming to the border every day. There's no way to control the flow at this point. It seems like the number's growing. We've got a number of unaccompanied children at the border. That sounds like a problem. And then she asks, so he, of course, denies this. There's no crisis at the border.

And then the reporter actually gives some numbers. And she's like, that's really interesting because when X number of people came to the border under the Obama administration, they declared it a crisis. And now we have this number and you're saying it's not. Very strange. Watch the guy's reaction as the disinformation campaign continues. Microsoft, get all over this. Check

this out. One of your predecessors, Jay Johnson, he said that a thousand illegal border crossings a day constitutes a crisis, that it overwhelms the system. We're at between three and four thousand now, according to CBP officials. So how is this not a crisis? I have explained that quite clearly. We are challenged at the border. The men and women of the Department of Homeland Security are meeting that challenge. It is a stressful challenge and we are that is why quite frankly we are working as hard as we are, not only in addressing the urgency of the challenge, but also in building the capacity to manage it and to meet our humanitarian aspirations and execution of the president's vision. He just reminds me of Billy Murphy and Brian Frost,

Joe, in that debate with the gun thing, where they just talk you into it logical. And you're like, huh? I asked you a simple logical. And you're like, huh? I asked you a simple question. The reporter asked a simple question. I think that's Kristen Fisher from Fox. She says Obama's DHS secretary, Jay Johnson, when they had a thousand illegal entries into the United States a day, said, hey, man, that's a crisis. We now have 3,000 to 4,000.

Joe, check my math. I think that's three to four times am I right? just checking I don't want to engage in a disinformation campaign and that's not a crisis now Biden was Obama's vice president checking on that too

yes the fact checker comes back that is correct weird how it was a crisis at a thousand it's now up to three and four thousand but, but no, it's not a crisis. And he engages in the, you know, in the illogic loop where they talk you into a, into a death spiral of misinformation. Of course, it's a crisis. You have 4,000 people entering the country each day during a pandemic.

We have with, with no national security checks at all. Again, explain to me, please, in common sense. I know it's not so common anymore, but using standard English, not logic death holes, explain to me how that's not a crisis again? You know, I debated Geraldo last night. We were supposed to get into immigration, but we didn't. But I wanted to ask him a simple question, which I will ask him eventually if I ever do that again.

By the way, I want to thank OANN for running my speech at CPAC. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Can I get a big hum out of the other room there? He's got a, Joe, maybe one more from you. Yeah, thanks, man. Yeah. If I ever debate

Haraldo again, I just want to ask a simple question. How many of these people are you taking in, by the way? Oh, none, none, none, zero. By the way, has your neighborhood been overrun by people in the country illegally? No, it's not your neighborhood. No, no, it's not yours. So you basically want to impose costs of illegal immigration on other people while bearing none of those costs yourself. Sounds like a liberal to me. while bearing none of those costs yourself. Sounds like a liberal to me. Sounds exactly like a liberal to me.

By the way, I want to thank OANN for running my season. All right, getting back to some serious content. Here is the great Milton Friedman. I'm sorry, I got to keep going back to the well because I love Milton Friedman because his timeless logic and reason never gets old. One of the great thinkers of our time since obviously past. God rest the man's heroic soul. But here was Milton Friedman back in the day just saying something very simple and logical about immigration that you can pick one or the other, Joe.

You can either have open borders or you can have a welfare state, but you can't have both because the math really doesn't work out as the open borders welfare state, people enter the country illegally and lay claim to the productive capacity of people who are working. That math doesn't sound right. Here's the genius of Milton Friedman decades ago. Check this out. It is one thing to have free immigration to jobs. It is another thing to have free immigration to welfare. And you cannot have both.

If you have a welfare state, if you have a state in which every resident is promised certain minimum level of income or a minimum level of subsistence, regardless of whether he works or not, produces it or not, well, then it really is an impossible thing. If you have free immigration in the way in which we had it before 1914, everybody benefited.

The people who were here benefited. The people who came benefited. The people who were here benefited. The people who came benefited. Because nobody would come unless he or his family thought he would do better here than he would elsewhere. And the new immigrants provided additional resources, provided additional possibilities for the people already here. So everybody could mutually benefit. here, so everybody can mutually benefit. But on the other hand, if you come under circumstances where each person is entitled to a pro-rate of share of the pot, to take the extreme example, or even to a low level of the pot, then the effect of that situation is that free immigration would mean a reduction of everybody to the same uniform level.

Of course, I'm exaggerating. It wouldn't go quite that far, but it would go in that direction. And it is that perception that leads people to adopt what at first seemed like inconsistent values. I mean, the man's genius is timeless. Pretty simple, right? You can have a welfare state where you give away the fruits of others' labor.

I'm not suggesting it's a good idea. I'm suggesting what's possible, not what's recommended. But you can have a generous welfare state where the Nordic countries have done it for a long time. recommend it. But you can have a generous welfare state. The Nordic countries have done it for a long time. It doesn't necessarily lead to long-term prosperity. Matter of fact, it's the reverse of that. But you can't have a generous welfare state with an open borders policy because the simple math doesn't work. If the incentive is to come to that Nordic welfare state or the United States or whatever it may be and to not work because you're entitled to a prorated piece of the pie from everyone else's work, eventually the word gets out that that happens and provides an incentive for others to violate immigration law and come here and do the same thing. violate immigration law, and come here and do the same thing.

But again, liberals will never figure that out as they impose the costs of illegal immigration on other communities and take in no illegal immigrants themselves. None. The costs are imposed upon you. But they don't mind. Liberals are all too rich to care, and they don't live in those neighborhoods either, so it doesn't really matter.

All right, good. We do have time for this i'm gonna hold this other wall street journal story for them i keep saying that sometimes i don't get to them but there's two stories i'm gonna get this hr1 story first tomorrow i'll have to get to the next one but the other story is important um listen tomorrow i will try to get to it but the gist of this is it is this you better get in the safe business really quick. No, I mean the safe. Like, you know, get the code for the safe kind of thing. Spin the wheel.

The safe business. What does that mean? You'll see what I mean. I'll get to that tomorrow. But this story is important. I got to get to it today. Folks, I need you to get on the phones. I need you to get on the emails again.

I'm sorry to keep you asking, but this is not me. I'm not asking you to get on the phone with me or send stuff or donate or anything like that. I'm asking you to call your representatives right now and speak out against the disaster that is H1, House Resolution 1. Wall Street Journal, please stop the HR1 disaster right now. Email, call your congressman and senator today and say, if you even consider voting for this thing, you've got no chance of getting my vote. What is it? Well, here's the article in the journal.

It's up in the show notes today. Making every election like 2020. HR1 mandates ballot harvesting and limits voter verification. Why would you want to do that? Because Democrats hate election integrity. That's why, obviously. What does H.R. 1 do? House Resolution 1. House Resolution 1, meaning the new Congress thought it's so important they pushed it first. Why? Because they hate free and fair elections. That's why. Odd that Rudy Giuliani and others are being sanctioned for election

integrity policies, while the biggest violation of election integrity right now is happening in the U.S. Congress with H.R. 1. Is that misinformation too? Just asking. Here's a screenshot from the Wall Street Journal piece about what H.R. 1 does. Well, one, it starts with permanent pandemic rules. It would create a federal right, right, folks, to a mail ballot. No excuse necessary. Registered voters couldn't even be made to submit any form of identification as a condition of obtaining an absentee ballot, except the signature or affirmation. And just check a box. Don't even worry about ID or anything like that. State laws requiring

mail votes to be notarized or signed by witnesses would be trumped late arriving ballots if post marked on time would be valid nationwide for 10 days after election day how does that sound election two weeks instead of election day from now on mandated nationally. No voter ID. A right. Small R right because Democrats, Democrats don't believe in big R rights by God. They believe in government, small R rights,

a right to a mail-in ballot, no matter what, no voter ID, notarization or affirmation other than a quick box check or necessary. God forbid. He asked for a witness too. Can't have that. Ballot harvesting.

You know ballot harvesting when Democrats and Republicans too. It's a bad idea. Doesn't matter. Democrats and Republicans can send out political activists to go collect ballots from people. Gosh, that doesn't sound right. You probably have to drop your ballot off either in the mail or drop it off in an election booth. Election location. Just, just an idea.

Now let's give it to a bunch of party activists because they won't do anything with it. You want that national? You'll have it if HR1 passes. It's giving me goosebumps again. Not joking because I'm just, this is where we are, ladies and gentlemen. We're descending into madness at such a rapid rate that if we don't wake up the intellectually obese quickly, you're going to,

you will wake up in a year or two, probably less than that, and be like, what happened to the country I used to live in? Gee, I don't know. Here's part two of this Wall Street Journal piece.

It goes on. You should read the whole thing. There's actually more. These are just the two low lights from HR one. There are no highlights. Obviously screenshot number two, HR one would overrule state laws against ballot harvesting. God forbid you had that a state law preventing party activists from taking

and potentially manipulating your ballot. Huh? Got to get rid of those laws. Letting Americans nationwide, let's get a little of this, Joe. Designate any person to return a vote, provided that the carrier, person picking up your vote,

doesn't receive any form of compensation based on the number of ballots. That's it. That's the only thing put in there. Also, states may not put any limit on how many voted and sealed absentee ballots any designated person can return. That means, quote, yes,

paid partisan operatives could go door-to-door amassing thousands of votes as long as they bill by the hour. Hmm. Email. Call. email call write your elected representatives today the do matters the do matters i don't care if they are diehard conservative republicans and you know they will vote against this email them anyway email them so they know just how concerned you are. Let me just give you a quick tip. I put this in my second book, The Fight.

I had a chapter about super voters. Ladies and gentlemen, you know, if you vote, your congressman, when you call a woman, they know you voted. They don't know who you voted for. It's a secret ballot, but they know you voted. There's an election file that shows you voted. And I have a chapter in my book about why you should vote in every single election school board primaries everything you know why because they

know you voted again they don't know who you voted for but they know you voted i tell my daughter this all the time don't think for a second when you call their office today and tell them how terrible hr1 is that they're not looking up right away what number you're calling from to make sure you live in the district number one number two what your address is if you're willing to give it to make sure you can vote for them. And number three, they're probably checking out how often you vote too. And if you vote in every primary and every election, I'm telling you right now what you say matters. If you're not a super voter, you better become one today because your voice is worth the voice of thousands of people who never vote because when they call the office and the congressman finds out you don't vote and don't even live in the district, they go, click.

Thank you. Have a nice day. I like to give you things to work with because it matters. By the way, quick shout out. We used the Retracto theme song yesterday, thanks to our friends at Project Veritas. That is a song by Gary Stephen Eaton. I will not sing it again because I will do it no justice, but we love our Retracto alpaca. This is kind of like, this is my, I mean, of all the things I've accumulated over the

years, this is a prize for me. You don't understand. I've always wanted one of these. I may need a backup because I may have to give this away to a reporter one day. If I can do that, I need permission from the Project Veritas guys, though. I don't want to Bogart your retracto alpaca. But Gary Steven Eaton, what a song. The retracto alpaca theme song.
