Just quickly, it is Labor Day weekend. And, you know, Joe and I and Guy grew up in middle class working families. And we just want to all collectively extend the deep debt of gratitude to all the tradesmen, craftsmen, people out there who, yeah, you know it, brother. You know what I mean? Your whole family's been like that. Joe's son, Joe, Joe's dad. You see those fingernails? All of you have dirt underneath them that is really hard to dig out.

And to those of you who leave your work boots on the outside of the house and your work clothes, you know what I mean? A sincere thank you. You built this country. This country only rock and rolls because of you every day. That food on the shelf is there because of farmers and truckers that brought it there and people who work in supermarkets who stock those shelves and feed you every single day. Supermarkets on because an electrician put those lights in and the water's only running through those pipes because of some plumber who did that. So thank you to everyone out there in this Labor Day for all your sincere efforts to

keep this country going. I want you to know you will always have an ally in me. So thank you very much. And I'm sure Joe and Guy both echo this exact same sentiments. I know it matters to you, Joe, as well. Thanks, guys. It's important. That's our, you guys out there and ladies are our audience

and we will always appreciate you. Matter more than anything. Let's get to the speech last night. A guy who matters very little to me, but unfortunately has a lot of power to make himself matter to me, Joe Biden. Last night was unquestionably the most dangerous speech ever given by a president of the United States in the history of the country. It's not even open for debate. I get it. It's an opinion. You're free to disagree, but you're just insane if you think otherwise. Never in the history of the

United States has a president of the United States, a president, not a candidate, not a candidate. The president of the United States stuck a bunch of Marine guards, which I think I'm really horrified that he did that. I hold. Oh, well, I figured that for reasons are more personal to you than me. I hold the Marines in the highest of regards. No, I'm not kidding. Outside of my family, outside of God and family in that order, I put the Marines like third. I wanted to be a Marine. One of the greatest regrets of my life, maybe the greatest, was not going in the Marine Corps.

It's a long story. I've told it before. Staff Sergeant Williams, my recruiter, go through the process, get to the end. The NYPD calls and says, you got to report on Tuesday if you want the job. I figured, oh, I'll go in later. I'll go into the reserves later. It never happened. They call it jokingly the golden handcuff.

Once you get in the NYPD or law enforcement, you never wind up leaving. Greatest, it's true. Greatest regret of my life. They are the finest warrior force in the history of humankind. The fact that Joe Biden had a, listen, they are obeying orders. They're literally obeying orders from the commander in chief. The fact that he used Marines behind him in this speech. And let me be clear. Using the military as a backdrop, folks, has been done by Republicans and Democrats forever. A point totally 100% stipulated. Not for a speech like this. That's totally, completely different.

I have no problem with Democrats. I did an advance for Barack Obama in Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. I was the Secret Service lead. They were there celebrating the military. Barack Obama's a Democrat. I don't like Barack Obama at this point, personally or professionally, but I had no problem with him celebrating the military and people behind them giving the clap, whatever. We do that. That was not last night's speech. Last night's speech was a vicious, incredibly hostile incitement to violence for 45 to 50% of America that supports a make America great again agenda. I've never seen anything like this in my life. The use of the Marines was not an accident. It was a power play. I'll show you what I mean in a second. Here's the first cut. First, this guy is

dangerous, folks. The man is dangerous for a number of reasons. He is inciting violence against Republicans and conservatives and Trump supporters. There's no doubt about that. His speech, if he's going to call us fascists and quote a threat to the Republic, I'll play that in a second. How do you handle threats to the Republic? You arrest them or you terminate them. This isn't a political argument. He's calling you a threat to the Republic. His words, not mine. First, this guy's dangerous, not just because of how he feels and what he plans to do, because he's corrupt. The guy's turning into a dictator right in front of your eyes.

If we're not there already, we may be there already. He is clearly at this point, I'm not sure if he's cognitively or physically even there. Here's what I mean. Here's the opening of the speech. He barely gets a word out. He's coughing up half of one of his lungs. This is just disgusting. The guy sounds like he's fallen apart. Listen to this. Fellow Americans, please, if you have a seat, take it. I speak to you tonight from sacred ground in America, Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Folks, the guy can barely talk. I mean, he's opening up the speech. Clear your throat before the answer is he can't. The guy's dangerous. It's clear at this point his health is not there. He's going to be 80, but he is a rather old 80. I know 80-year-olds. There's a guy in my gym in his 70s who is probably in better shape than I am. He knows who he is. Here's the most dangerous part of the whole speech last night. You are a threat to the Republic. He uses his words very carefully. It's not an accident. This was not an extemporaneous speech off the cuff. These words were written and vetted through multiple people in the White House and were put in there very purposefully. The only way you handle threats to the republic is imprisonment or death.

These are not political disagreements. Here he is last night. and then the commander in chief in charge of our military, our DOJ, our FBI, talking like this to 45 to 50% of America. Listen to this disgrace. Too much of what's happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic there it is his words ladies and gentlemen not mine threatens the very foundations of our republic how do you deal with

that threat imprisonment or death reminds me of nuremberg and hitler's divisive speeches there terrible folks uh there was i was trending on twitter this morning uh pito hitler was trending this morning on twitter this guy ladies and gentlemen uh we're in deep trouble with this guy i have a bit of good news because i think a number of people even on cnn have started to with their motives for it or another i'm not suggesting there's some benevolent force now cnn they've had a change in management. A lot of them are trying to keep their jobs. But Breonna Keillor and others at CNN even noted that the use of the Marines in a speech

so divisive as this is definitely troubling. Whether their motives were benevolent or just to keep their jobs is a topic for another day. The point I'm trying to make is on a slight bit of slight, slight bit of good news, I think a lot of people on the left, they're starting to worry like where he's going with this. Not the liberals. They don't care.

They love this. Make no mistake. I'm talking about sane, like West Virginia type Democrats, you know, Colorado outside of Aspen type Democrats. I think they're really starting to get concerned. Some of them, I'm serious. I'm hearing it from friends of mine up on the Hill that there's like a whisper right now that this has gone a little bit too far. Why? Folks, Biden is in charge of our military or DOJ, our FBI, that we have weak people in

charge of those entities. We have Merrick Garland, the most disgraceful weak human being to ever be the attorney general of the United States. The guy's a disgrace. If we had strong, powerful people over there, they would be threatening resignations today after that speech. Christopher Wray at the FBI, again, a weak, rather pathetic human being who will do whatever he's told to do. They're lemmings. They're lemmings. That's all they are. I'm going to put up a couple of headlines and show you why I'm worried after this just disgusting, grotesque speech last night. You remember this piece from January of this year, the justice department under Merrick Garland,

by the way, is creating a unit focused on domestic terrorism. They're establishing a specialized unit focus specifically on domestic terrorism. You mean like threats to the foundations of the Republic, those kinds of domestic terrorists. You mean like the MAGA people he said were the threats to the foundations of the Republic, those kind of domestic terrorists? You mean like the MAGA people, he said, were the threats to the foundations of the Republic?

Oh, makes sense now what's going on? Right in front of your face, folks. They're not hiding it. Again, shame is not a tool to shame them. The only way to fight back is to cause them real material losses. Get these people a one-way ticket out of D.C. as soon as possible before it's too late. You think that unit and the domestic terrorism unit was a mistake?

You think Biden's speech about you being a threat to the republic is a mistake? Maybe you should read this article from just a couple days ago by Dan Chaitin at the Washington Examiner. It's about the FBI agent Tim Teabolt who was under fire for the Hunter Biden whistleblower claims. Remember that? Well, there's a little part of that article. Forget about Hunter Biden for a second. That's a whole other fiasco. So Biden says you're a threat to the Republic.

Garland early in the year has a domestic terrorism unit. And then there's an allegation Chaitin talks about against this FBI guy not mentioned in the year has a domestic terrorism unit and then there's an allegation chayton talks about against this fbi guy not mentioned in the statement it was fbi agent teabolt's alleged role in pressuring fbi agents to reclassify cases as domestic violent extremism oh even if the cases do not meet the criteria for such a classification. That's according to a whistleblower complaint, by the way. Thiebaud was the subject of a complaint, and that effort was meant to pad domestic terrorism statistics. You mean to add you to the investigative roster at the FBI? I'm sure they're totally unrelated, folks. You realize the danger zone we're in right now, how red lines are being crossed everywhere? Do you understand how dangerous this is?

We're in right now. Our red lines are being crossed everywhere. Do you understand how dangerous this is? As I said, the small sliver of good news. Maybe I'm being an unnecessary optimist. I'm open to criticism, folks. But I'm long on the United States. We don't like tyranny here.

The people who come here are the entrepreneurial types who flee tyranny. Just ask any Venezuelan or Cuban. Just ask them. They'll tell you. I don't believe there's space for this outside of maybe 60% of the Democrat party, maybe 30%. I'm not sure if the math is exactly accurate. 30% of the population. I really do believe 60% to 70% won't tolerate the abuse like this of people. It uh, uh, uses political targeting. I really don't believe it. Uh, on the speech, here's the last part. We need more of this folks, the resistance, where the real resistance resisting tyranny. They tried to co-opt the term resistance. It's hilariously comical. They're not reserved Lemmings. All of them are Lemmings, Christopher Ray Garland.

I, I, you know, on my Fox show this week, and I recorded a few portions of it, me and Pete Hegseth absolutely go off on the left and other people. Also, Dave Rubin's a guest on the show as well. We go off on how rage against the machine and the hippies of the left are now the rage for the machines, like kissing the ass of the machines people. Here was last night a protester. My hat is tipped to this guy. You are fantastic. He was outside with a bullhorn. He had something to say to Joe Biden and got his attention. Thank you for this. Check this out. Throughout our history, America has often made the greatest progress coming out of some of

our darkest moments, like you're hearing in that bullhorn. Like you're hearing in that bullhorn. We need some more bullhorns out there interrupting Joe Biden's speeches. If he's going to talk like a tyrant, then we need to talk as citizens. Folks, the rebellion's begun. The resistance has begun. Don't get baited. Don't get baited. They are begging for someone to do something stupid involving violence.

They are begging. Believe me, they want this so bad. There is nothing they want more than weak Christopher Wray and pathetic Garland to use it as an excuse to do a massive crackdown on you for your social media posts about Donald Trump. I'm telling you. Folks, let me get to my second sponsor. And I wanted the fight back has begun elsewhere too.

We are the real resistance. And I want to give you a note of optimism on this Labor Day. And it's, again, it's not signaling. It's not, you know, false optimism. I really believe that we had to hit rock bottom and Joe Biden hit it yesterday. There is no way this gets better for him at this point. Freedom and liberty matter. They're not going to defend themselves.

Folks, LifeLock. I had my identity stolen a long time ago. It was really horrible. Took me about not going to defend themselves. Folks, LifeLock. I had my identity stolen a long time ago.

Folks, the fight back has begun. We're the real resistance. It's not simply that Biden is inciting violence against conservatives. It's not simply that Biden is inciting violence against conservatives. It's not just that the death threats, by the way, against me have picked up. I don't whine about it because sadly, it's part of the business and the left loves violence. I mean, I could show you them and waste your time, but I've showed you a few. They're all the same.

Are they all real? Probably not. A lot of them probably from porn watching Hot Pocket Eaters in their mommy's basement. That's okay, but they're still there. And it's grown. And it's grown under the Biden administration. I bet I'm not the only conservative who can tell you that. But the fight back has begun with a real resistance. It's not just that they're inciting violence. It's that they're trying to censor our ability to speak out and fight back.

You know, Tucker said it last night, and he's right. The primary tool of dictatorships has always been the censorship of political opponents. That's what we're living in right now, a dictatorship. Biden has crossed the red line. There's no question about it. It's not what he says, it's what he does. Look at what dictators do, right, Joe? Look at the list of what dictators do. A, B, C, D, and E. Biden's doing all of them right censoring attacking locking people up inciting violence against them every single thing dictators do biden is doing matter of fact i think i'm going to title today's show we always struggle over the titles is biden a dictator what do you think

you know what do you think about that title well we're doing this in live time do you like it you sound crazy cut off the tater. That's all right. Caught me off guard there. Very good. Very good job. So just the news.com. Here's what I mean by the fight.

Very funny. The fight back has begun. So there's been a, this is the most important court case going on right now hat tip the republican attorney generals led by eric schmidt he's also a uh candidate for the united states senate in missouri a guy i supported during the primary i don't get involved in too many primaries i thought he was the best guy guy. This is the most important case going on right now. He has made it now apparently past the discovery phase and gotten a hold of some emails and communications between government officials and the Biden administration and big tech. There's just the news article. It's at my

newsletter. Folks, we added 133,000 new emails in the last week to the newsletter. Thank you. That's a lot. Of course, it's absolutely free. There's no cost. It's Bongino.com slash newsletter. I will send you. I will not spam your email box.

I promise. We will send you these articles every morning. Bongino.com slash newsletter. This one you got to read. Just the news. Greg Piper, document dump and Biden tech collusion suit reveals a massive sprawling censorship and plaintiffs. So the DOJ provided a list of 45 officials. By the way, at least 45 we know about from just within HHS and DHS, but Facebook identified 32 and YouTube 11. Those two lists

include White House officials and had many names left off DOJ's list, the plaintiff said. Twitter's list of nine revealed senior state contacts. In a nutshell, these Republican attorney generals were like, we want to see who from the government is demanding big tech censored information. And they got it, at least some of it. They noted this too as well from the government is demanding big tech censored information. And they got it, at least some of it. They noted this too as well from the piece, that these federal officials, remember the government cannot censor people through big tech. Government can't censor because of the First Amendment,

but they can't ask big tech to do it either. Well, Dan, that's exactly what's happening. Exactly. That's why this is the most important case going on right now. They noted that federal officials often seem to use alternative channels of communication. Oh, like a Hillary Clinton server?

To flag specific posts and content for censorship, the plaintiffs allege. Citing a misinformation reporting channel Facebook set up for the CDC and Census Bureau officials. The tech platforms are resisting this discovery, citing the Stored Communications Act. The plaintiffs said, folks, they are in a world of freaking trouble right now. Please trust me on this. I don't want to over dramatize it. Bombshell stuff. Get all crazy.

I'm just telling you, this is a clear, established court precedent violation. You cannot, as government officials, demand big tech do what government can't do itself. You cannot deputize people to take down free speech. This is what dictators do, which is exactly what the Biden administration is. This case is so crazy, folks. Schmidt and his attorney generals and Republicans got a hold of these emails. This is from a Clark Humphrey. It says EOPWHL. That's executive office of the president, right?

Folks, this is crazy. Apparently, they wanted a Fauci parody account taken down too? This is bananas. This is crazy. A Fauci parody account. Lord Acton warned us what? Power corrupts absolute. Power corrupts absolutely.

Do you see what happens when you open the door to misinformation? You say, well, government has an interest in vaccine misinformation or whatever. And then all of a sudden you grab that power and it corrupts you and it corrupts your soul because you're weak. And then you say, well, if we can censor that, can we censor this? And then it rolls downhill into Dr. Fauci doesn't want to be made fun of. So can we censor this too? Clark Humphrey, digital director, COVID-19 response team, the White House. Look at this email. Tell me we are not in the danger zone right now. But Schmidt's fighting back. He was on Tucker last night. He summed this up beautifully, talking about how devastating this is going to be for

the government. Listen to me, pay attention. I'm not messing with you. This is the most important case going on right now. It could dismantle the entire big tech government symbiote for censorship if this thing moves forward. Take a look. This is quite frankly, Tucker, the first time anybody's got a chance to look under the hood of the communications between the Biden administration and with their big tech partners in their effort to outsource censorship, you know, and violate the First Amendment. And so I guess the best way to look at this is in two buckets. What do we know from the documents that have already been provided? We know that at least 45 officials, government officials, have been

identified as directly communicating with big tech, with Facebook, with Twitter to take things down. They had these weekly censorship meetings. In addition to that, they also were able to establish a verified flagging status for government officials to directly go and censor. You had a senior official at Facebook directly communicating with the Surgeon General of the United States saying, hey, what can we do? And then a week later coming back and saying, we did that, what else can we do? I mean, they've effectively outsourced their censorship. The second bucket, Tucker, is the things that we don't know. We don't know right now. We know it's at the highest levels of government, but we don't know exactly how high and how

wide this goes because the Department of Justice is objecting to a discovery to the folks in the White House and they're claiming executive privilege, which is nonsense because we're not even asking for internal communications. We're asking for communications with these third parties. First time we got to look under the hood. Folks, this is real trouble. This is real trouble. Any honest judge, I don't care who you were appointed by, Trump, Obama, Bush, it doesn't matter, has to look at this and realize this is clear censorship.

Now, folks, I'm going to be talking to some of my legal team as well, because I have been a target for censorship by a number of people as well, who I am convinced may have been working with government entities to make me go away as well. And something that turned me onto this yesterday is a piece in New York Mag, New York Magazine. They've been targeting me with a disinformation campaign for a long time. Remember Evan Osnard, that guy who wrote that hilariously misguided hit piece full of garbage? They've been targeting me for a long time to get me censored. There's no doubt about that in my mind, this symbiote of people. I'm really wondering how

many government people now are involved in this. I'm going to talk to my legal crew about this because this is important. I saw this yesterday. It's an article about the defunders it's basically a bunch of censorship pushing leftists uh with no real jobs and they note in the piece early this year bongino was banned from youtube after violating its covid misinformation policy by posting videos saying cloth and surgical masks were useless in stopping the spread of the coronavirus, which is weird because that's not exactly misinformation. It's now fact. So I'm wondering if that guy from the White House EOP, I'm wondering if he had a role in that. I'd like to know that. That would be really fascinating to see if they worked with anyone else especially some of the entities discussed in this piece be a fascinating question wouldn't it yeah we'll see where that goes all right i've got a lot more to get to let me just get this treat

dr oz and then i want to show you about i want to preview my show this weekend they're treating us like infants like children like infants who can't survive without the government suckling on the government teeth, right? That's how they treat us in government. I'm going to show you what I mean. Kareem Jean-Pierre, again, shamelessly lying about something. Just quick, the Dr. Oz campaign has taken the gloves off. Folks, I got no dog in this fight. Again, I just want to see the Republican win. I obviously think Oz is a better candidate than the worst candidate in the country. Fetterman, loser, daddy's little boy, paid for him his entire life, never had a real job. Fetterman's a communist.

How in Pennsylvania you could vote for a communist, I'd be stunned. So Oz's team is clearly taking the gloves off. You see this tweaky? Fetterman tweets out this fundraising email, breaking news. I need money, basically. For the first time ever, Republicans are outspending me on TV this week. Oz's campaign tweets back. Have you asked your parents for more allowance? Good job, Oz. Oz, listen, you and your team, whatever you're doing, gloves off, man. Gloves off. It is time to play ball. Pennsylvania is a scrappy state, man. you and your team, whatever you're doing, gloves off, man. Gloves off. It is time to play ball. Pennsylvania is a scrappy state, man.

Just go to Pittsburgh, Philly, Scranton. Just go around Pennsylvania. You'll see it, man, everywhere. Lancaster, these are scrappy folks. They want a fighter. You're doing the right thing. All right. Hey, Mizzen and Main.

I wear Mizzen and Main. You ever see me on Instagram or on Truth Post and Pictures? You'll see Mizzen and Main on. I'm Mizzen and Main. I wear Mizzen and Main. You ever see me on Instagram or on Truth Post and Pictures, you'll see Mizzen and Main on. I love Mizzen and Main. You got to check out Mizzen and Main. M-I-Z-Z-E-N and Main. M-A-I-N. Mizzen and Main, they're the inventors of the performance fabric dress shirt. Mizzen and Main combines the comfort and flexibility of your favorite athletic wear

with the fit and style of a custom dress shirt. The clothes are amazing. They are super comfortable and they look good. You want to look good, right? Their dress shirts are machine washable, so you can skip those trips to the dry cleaner. Think of all the time and money you'll save. On a hot day in Washington, DC, Mizzen and Mane's founder saw a guy running up the hill in a sweat-soaked, wrinkled, super uncomfortable dress shirt and thought, there's got to be a better way than this. They were the first to use performance fabrics in men's workwear. And 10 years after starting, unquestionably still the best.

There's always something new to discover are you ready download june's journey now on android or ios so folks they treat you like infants it's going to be the subject of my monologue let me let you know a little secret i recorded the monologue yesterday uh you know people always tell me don't tell people behind the scenes why i don't care you're my audience you would deserve. I recorded pieces of the show.

And the monologue in the beginning, I actually re-recorded the open. The open is completely out of my head because I was passionate about it. It's not a prompter open, but I liked it, the first one. But I actually re-recorded it because I was like, you know what? I'm actually more fiery after that. And I think we should do it again. So I want you to watch version. I think it's much better. It's about exactly this, how government is trying to make infants out of all of us, actual infants relying on them for everything.

An infant, the parents leave, infant dies. Can't feed itself. Can't change its own diaper. Can't do anything. That's what they want from us. And one of the things I mentioned in the monologue is the things we do to infants and young children is sometimes we lie. We tell them fairy tales. You get the point.

And some of your kids may be listening. So you know what I'm talking about. We tell them things, you know, around holidays. You get the point, right? We don't need to go any further. We do that. Is it a lie? Are we deceiving?

We can have that argument another day. But we tell them fairy tales sometimes. And they believe it. Is that a lie? Are we deceiving that? We can have that argument another day. But we tell them fairy tales sometimes and they believe it. You ever notice the Biden administration does the same thing? They tell you things so hilariously false that you got to say to yourself, are they storytellers? Are they Teddy Ruxpin? Are they fairy tale critics? This is so obviously false. We can just go to the interweb and we can just prove it false instantaneously. Here's what I mean. Here is Camille Javier, the worst press secretary unquestionably in the history of the United States.

Again, someone uniquely untalented at this. Here she is reinventing the history of school closures to make it seem like this was a Republican thing. to make it seem like this was a Republican thing. Now, again, to do actual reporting, unlike journalists, yes, a lot of Republicans in the beginning supported lockdowns, even school lockdowns. It was a huge mistake.

The point is unquestionable, however, that once they realized this wasn't working, the Republicans and Trump said open the schools and the democrats and the union said no that's not even a debate here's corinne jean-pierre trying to retcon and rewrite history she's just suggesting that no no no it was the republicans who wanted the school shut down and biden came in and opened them up this is hilarious check this out the national assessment of educational progress uh is has this new testing that shows that nine-year-olds lost ground in both math and reading in pretty dramatic ways as a result of the pandemic. What is the president going to do about it?

What is the administration going to do about this severe learning loss? And does the administration shoulder any blame for not pushing schools to reopen sooner? So let's step back to where we were not too long ago when this president walked into this administration, how mismanaged the pandemic, the response to the pandemic was. percent of schools uh were uh in in less than six months our schools went from 40 46 percent to to open to nearly all of them being open to full time that was the work of this president and that was the work of democrats in spite of republicans not voting for the american rescue plan oh my gosh they are really they think're stupid. They are treating you like small children. They think you're idiots. If you live in a Democrat state run by Kathy Hochul, formerly Andrew Cuomo, Gavin Newsom, Pritzker or others, your schools were shut down when Republican

states opened up. Do they think you don't know that? But they think you're dumb, like little babies who aren't very smart they can't be they haven't developed these cerebral capabilities yet folks hat tip there was a twitter user i saw this put this montage out of headline just in case again you needed evidence that it was trump and the republicans pushing to open schools here are headlines from left-leaning outlets cbs news trump pushes states to reopen schools this fall amid coronavirus pandemic cnbc trump pushes to reopen schools says closures will probably cause more death cnn the very clear dangers of donald trump's push to reopen schools politico trump's campaign open

schools provokes mounting backlash even from gop vanity fair trump's you notice that i'm gonna throw that in a few rhinos trump schools reopening push is looking more and more idiotic. New York Magazine. Trump's push to reopen schools is going to backfire. A few more. New York Times. How Trump's push to reopen schools backfired. And more?

We could go on all day, folks. With Ron DeSantis headlines. We could go on all day. Now, it's weird how the government, the coronavirus COVID misinformation task force or whatever, illegally censoring data for, quote, missing disinformation. It's weird how they're not fact checking Kareem Jean-Pierre on this for obvious disinformation. It's almost as if it's not about disinformation, but about politics. Strange, right? Speaking of disinformation, where are they on this?

Biden gave a speech the other day about firearms. Did you see it on Tuesday? Where he spouted out a bunch of hilarious nonsense about AR-15, 556, 223 rounds traveling at five times the speed of every round. The guy's just crazy. He's a crazy person. So where are the disinformation specialists on that? The answer is nowhere.

One of the things he did as well, you can see this Washington Examiner piece be in the newsletter today, is he raised this canard again about the assault weapons ban, reducing the number of mass shootings in the 90s. That's not what happened. That is disinformation.

He is lying. In truth, the examiner piece notes, the national murder rate plunged for a full decade after the assault weapons ban expired. The specific assertion about mass shootings requires cherry picking the definition of the phrase. Where's the disinformation team on that and the fact checkers? The answer is nowhere. And what's the penalty for all this? Here's the disinformation team on that and the fact checkers the answer is nowhere and what's the penalty for all this here's the good news i told you i was going to leave you each time with a little bit of good news becky noble wrote this piece the political insider again be in the newsletter if you want to check it out thank the lord and i'm not using his name

in vain i don't do that gun makers are finally abandoning anti-second amendment states they notice a bunch a bunch of companies that have left massachusetts and other states that are now going to red states folks this is good news but i want you to consider this too aside of this piece outside of the obvious business smarts from leaving states that hate your guts new york massachusetts illinois whatever they may be folks in a global crisis we we are the United States, and we should always remember that, always. And we do have citizens in these blue states that really care and are conservatives and care about liberty and the Constitution. But I don't really

think the blue states have thought this through. Folks, again, I said yesterday, we live in the United States and we always assume peace and serenity because the homeland has never been attacked in a mass scale. I'm not talking about Pearl Harbor and 9-11. Obviously, there have been others, too. I'm talking about a mass scale. I mean, a global land war on our soil. Troops in your block. Do you notice how the defense infrastructure for the United States is going to find itself all in red states?

Defense infrastructure for the United States is going to find itself all in red states. Again, this is such myopic thinking. For these blue states, these are legal companies doing legal business, should say, oh, that's good. We want the defense structure and the capital means to produce weapons and defense materials spread out throughout the country. Blue states haven't thought that through because they're stupid. That's what they do. Remember, Beretta left Maryland inland in 2014 that's in the piece yeah that's in the piece you'll see it

right there yep yeah you'll see it's smart but yeah it's right in the piece good point you're talking about smith and wesson and others too um all right folks moving i'm gonna get to your questions in a minute too um i just wanted to address, this is weird because we do questions for Dan on Friday, but I saw this on Twitter and I thought this is a question I would ask myself. Why? Because I get this question all the time. Whenever I give a speech, I run in, whenever, I mean almost 100% of the time, I'll get some young man or woman who will say, oh, how did you get here? How did you do this? How did you do this? Do you have any tips for me? So this is kind of a question for Dan from Dan before we get to

questions for Dan. Apparently Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson did a podcast the other day. I didn't see it. I will try to listen. I love Joe Rogan's show and I really enjoy Jordan Peterson's commentary too. And this guy at Josh Lester sells on Twitter did a little summation of what they talked about. And apparently, again, I didn't hear it. So I'm taking his word for it. They discussed how to get wealthy in your twenties, how to be a millionaire in your twenties or something to that effect. And this guy, Josh Lester sells sums it up.

He has a series of like five or six tweets about some of the lessons he learned from the podcast. And he wrote this on Twitter that one of the takeaways was taking risks makes you lucky. You have to put yourself out there and go after what you want. Sometimes that means taking risks that might not pay off, but if you're not willing to take risks, you'll never achieve anything significant. And I thought to myself, gosh, amen. If that's in that podcast and you gave people some of the best advice of your life, Joe Rogan is a multi, multi, Joe Rogan is a more than 100 millionaire. You got to remember there's wealth and there's wealth, folks. There's people worth a million, people worth 10 million, people worth a hundred million. And then there's people who

don't even know how much money they have. They're not wealthy, okay? Believe me, I see it. So when people ask me, how did you do it between Rumble and all this other stuff? I always tell them a couple things. On that tweet about risk, the only thing I would update is, yes, you are going to have to take risks. Because if you're in your 20s, there's a pretty significant chance you don't have a lot of capital.

In other words, you don't have $100,000 to throw around and invest. People who have a lot of money, like the Warren Buffetts of the world and the Bill Gates's of the world, folks, if they have a billion dollars and they put it in a CD that I'm not, I mean, obviously it's a hyperbolic example, but I think Joe, you'll get my point. And the CD gets 2%. Folks, I got news for you. 2% of a billion dollars, a whole lot of money. They can make a lot of money.

Again, I know it's nominal, not inflation adjusted. I'm using a hyperbolic example. By taking almost no risk at all. When you're a young man or woman, you don't have that option. Your capital to grow into a million, you're going to have to take a substantial risk. But you have to take calculated risks. Know the people you're investing in, number one. Also, The Black Swan, Joe's favorite book. That's a joke for those P1s you know what I'm talking about. It is a good book though by Nassim Taleb. He talks about this idea that you're going to have

to collect opportunities. The only way to take calculated risks and not random ones is to spread the risk a bunch of number of opportunities. 1,000 of this guy, 5,000 of that guy, 10,000 of this guy. Folks, chances are 95% of those are going to fail. But if that one guy you invested $1,000 in makes you 500,000, it overwrote the 99 you lost on everyone else. Calculated smart risks by collecting opportunities. Don't turn down an opportunity to meet anyone if you can. Sooner or later, you're going to meet someone that's going to change your life. Folks, the parlor thing, the rumble thing, paralleleconomy.com, that all came from a very simple opportunity, meeting some people. That led to other meetings and other meetings.

Collect opportunities. Second, folks, you got to emphasize life skills. Again, I get this question a lot. It's Labor Day. It's the only reason I'm talking about this. I hope I'm not boring you to death. But people do ask me this all the time. Second, emphasize in your life soft

skills. I'm not messing with you. If you don't have the soft skills, the hard skills are irrelevant. I don't care if you're the greatest computer engineer in the world. If you look like a slob, you're not diligent, you don't pay attention to your work, and you don't show up on time, you're absolutely useless to me. Useless. I really don't care. I've never asked Guy once like, hey man, what's your computer skills? I don't even know. I just know the show gets put up. I know he shows up on time. I know he works on it. I know Joe has never missed the day of work ever in the eight years ever that we've been doing this, ever. And believe me, we don't even take a lot of vacation. Sometimes I wonder why he doesn't complain more. I shouldn't have said, now let's talk. I'm going to send an email to Paul tomorrow. More vacation.

I mean, he's never missed a day off. The soft skills matter. Diligence, attention to small details. When you type up a report, make sure you're not missing periods, commas, and exclamation points. I'm not kidding. Invest in your appearance. Go and buy a good suit.

You don't have to have 10 of them. Go and buy yourself some tailored clothes and a good pair of shoes. It's a lot of money. I get it. Get yourself a good pair of Tom Ford shoes or something. It's an investment. You're going to invest in a car. You're going to spend $50,000 on a car. Go get yourself a suit. Invest in your appearance. Finally, public speaking. Make sure you are a fantastic public speaker. I don't care if you've got to take a class, if you've got to practice. You can't speak in public.

You're useless to me. I've got to know I can put you in front of people and represent. Speak clearly. Learn how to speak in public. That's my question for me. I get it all the time. Hope it was helpful. All right, let me get to my last sponsor, and then we'll get to questions for Dan.

Some good ones today. Millions of Americans are waking up to a country they don't recognize.

My good friend, Jeremy Roenick, one of the greatest hockey players of all time. He sent me this whiskey. It is Labor Day.

This is another, but I have one now since I tried it. It's fantastic. It has some coconut, excuse me, some chocolate, vanilla, and orange. They didn't pay. This is just really good stuff. It's not me doing him a favor, just good stuff. And I love Jeremy a lot. He's a warrior for freedom. So check it out. It's called Whiskey in the Wild., just good stuff. And I love Jeremy a lot. He's a warrior for freedom. So check it out. It's called Whiskey in the Wild. The website is whiskeyinthewild.com. Give you a little flask too, but this is good stuff.

Joe, I'm going to have him send you a bottle. You let me know what you think, all right? All right, yeah. Good stuff. Sure. Yeah, this is good stuff. Thanks. So check it out, Whiskey in the Wild. Yeah, man, Jeremy even kind of gave me a little autograph on that sucker.

Jeremy Roenick, Whiskey in the Wild. Yeah, man. Jerry even kind of gave me a little autograph on that, on that sucker. Jeremy Roenick, whiskey in the wild. Thanks, Jeremy. Yeah, it's good stuff. All right, folks. Time for questions for Dan. Question number one at Rick Ebel. What are your plans for the holiday weekend? Be down in Miami.

I got me. I'm not going to be with the whole family, but be down in Miami. Relax a little bit with Paula. So I'm going to enjoy that. Thank you. I know everybody here is taking a little bit of a break. It is Labor Day. And thank you to all the laborers out there

and craftsmen out there. I told you, you matter. At RD446BS, love listening to you. Heard the folks at Mar-a-Lago declined to turn the cameras off while the FBI was there. Do you think the American people will ever get to see those tapes? I do.

It is impossible to keep information hidden. It is only a matter of time before they leak out. It's going to be fascinating to see them go through Melania Trump's underwear drawer, isn't it? Social security folks, see where Melania, what her undergarments look like. I mean, this is just unbelievable. At KS Mateo, Dan, how's Lucy? Give us an update.

So Lucy's having a real problem. For those of you who are subscribers on my Locals account, I'm at D Bungie, you know, just download the Locals app. We own that at Rumble. I do exclusive content there. It's kind of like my own little reality show. It's when I'm feeling in the mood, I record, you know, two to five minute videos.

And I was talking to my subs the other day. I was telling about how Lucy, there's construction going on next door. And we had a really bad incident. My mother's dog, it's really old. I'll make this story short, but he's 16 years old, baby boy. And the trucks, the beep, beep, beep, scared the hell out of the baby boy. Ran upstairs. He had a heart attack.

He didn't die, but he's in really bad shape. They were going to put him down yesterday so lucy who's never been scared of anything in her life under nothing must have seen baby boy react to the trucks and said oh my i must be scared too and now lucy just sits in my office frankie she's freaks out all day she's because the office is far away because she's so scared of the noise so she she's doing okay, I guess. But, you know, we're trying to, my dog, I love her. It's like one of the kids, you know.

I'll keep you updated. At Jacktron, this Jacktron gets a ton of questions in here. You guys, is this some kind of deal you and Jacktron have? Jacktron, we appreciate it. It's not an eye. No, no, we pick you. He's got Joe. Are you kidding me?

This guy gets more questions on show than I do. Joe doesn't get as much info in the show as Jacktron. Hey, Dan, I was listening to Shapiro and Matt Walsh. They were saying the reason Republicans are having trouble in the Senate is because we shifted the spotlight back at the Trump and away from Biden. You agree with that? I don't. I don't at all.

And I love those two guys a lot. I have some history with them both. But the great part about the Republican Party is we don't. I don't at all. I love those two guys a lot. I have some history with them both. But the great part about the Republican Party is we don't censor people. We respect disagreement. I 100% disagree. The highlight and attention on Donald Trump caused 74 million people to go out and vote. I just don't buy that. I don't buy it at all. I just think the Senate, there's local races and some of these candidates on the democrat side some um are figuring out a message that they think is going to appeal to independence it's as simple as that is it going to work i don't think so i think the environment's going to get ugly for them this is my favorite question at miss molly 20 i just moved to florida

three days ago what the hell are all these bugs about? They're everywhere on my brand new home. People say they're midges. How do you deal with this? Okay, listen, here's the time for some straight talk. Guy moved to Florida. I moved to Florida. I love, love, don't like, love it. I will never leave Florida.

I have three houses here. All right, sorry, first world problems. I'm not trying to, I'm just telling you that's how much I love this place. Love Florida. The one downside, every place has a downside, okay? You got tornadoes in the plains. You've got a lack of water in the plains.

You've got every, the one downside is there's about a three, four month period every year where what they call no-see-ums, those are like the midges, no-see-ums, river gnats, and the palmetto bugs just go wild. You see them. Sometimes you can see them. Guy says you can see them once in a while flying through the river gnats. You can't get rid of them. It's the one downside. How do you deal with this? You just deal with it. Luckily, the pal the palmettos the other ones like i just don't even bother you put a little bug spray on whatever but the palmettos those things are just like nasty you can hit them with a bat and they don't die they're crazy

so you how do you deal with it you just deal with it there's no there's nothing you can do it's a swamp hey dan jojo 106 historically the pendulum is swung far one way then eventually back the other way. You think this is the case with our beloved USA? I pray I live long enough to see it. Yes, I do. I am optimistic long run. I was asked by a caller yesterday

why I'm optimistic about the long game on my radio show. Folks, we're surrounded by two huge oceans protecting us. To the north and the south are not sworn enemies of us. We're floating on a sea of natural resources. We have an enormous land mass. We have the world's biggest military and the greatest capital stock in the history of humankind. Even if everything broke bad tomorrow, we'd recover faster than everyone else. Hey, Dan, Mack the Knife won.

This guy's been on before, too. Mac the Knife. I've seen that name. I was involved in several presidential support missions during my time in the military. Thanks for your service. I was in Baghdad when Obama was there in March 2009. I remember that trip. I was impressed with the can-do attitude of the Secret Service agents, but were there any times you would report back and say a mission was undoable? The answer may surprise you. Yes, there is. I was on a trip to Indonesia with Obama. Not as classified anymore.

Trip already happened years ago, obviously. And they wanted to go to Kalabata Cemetery. It's their kind of Arlington in Indonesia. And I'm telling you, folks, it wasn't doable. The staff desperately wanted to go. They wanted this picture with President Cecilio Bambang Yogyakarta at the time out there at their equivalent of their Arlington National Cemetery, Kalabata. And I said, we can't do it, man.

I shut it down. I told them, there's no way. There was open ground everywhere. I mean, we would have been dead. And I told him, I'm sorry. You're putting up. I mean, could we have done it if we had to? Yeah, but the risk was unnecessary

according to the reward. So yeah, I have shut stuff down. So have other agents too. At WJ Stark, how do I respond to libs who give Joe a pass on gas prices and inflation? This is, I love this. They say it's a global problem,

Joe. And so none of it's Biden's fault. That's always their answer. It's a global problem. Joe, it's going to be a hard question. So prepare yourself as a question for Joe. We're on the globe,

correct? This is. Yeah. Last time. Yes. Last time he checked. Yeah. Joe's got a little globe in his house.

He spins it once in a while. We're here. Yeah. He points a little, a little Jojo's not so little anymore this is us in maryland when your friends say it's a global problem especially the oil prices you say really because we are one of the biggest producers uh and we could be one of the biggest exporters of oil on the globe you just mentioned so how are we not a part of the global price problem if we are on the globe you just cited as a global problem i'm just asking hey dan at repair at represent from truth or locals

you got a cool name at repair how'd you get that i would scoop that up right away what's your favorite movie of all time i mean mean, come on. I'm going to embarrass myself because it's like every guy's favorite movie, but Braveheart, man. Of course, Braveheart. Yeah, I love Braveheart. Every guy doesn't love that. It's the only movie I think I've ever seen

in a movie theater twice and enjoyed it more the second time. Braveheart. Love it. Go, man! Do not flee! Do not flee! Oh, perfect timing, Joe.
