Ding, ding.
Ring that bell, Apollo.
Okay.
Ladies and gentlemen, what is going on right now is not an impeachment hearing.
It is being phrased as an impeachment hearing for a reason, and that reason is to appeal to far left radical activists who will show up in the primary to pick the next president for the Democrat Party or the next candidate to run for president against Trump.
That's all that's going on right now.
You understand that.
Now, the best piece I've seen on this and the distinction between an actual impeachment trial
and what Nancy Pelosi is doing now in this fake impeachment,
where they called a witness yesterday in their fake impeachment trial,
and it really didn't go too well.
Too bad.
So sad.
Not so much.
The first witness just here.
Before we get to that, Andy McCarthy has a fine, fine piece in the hill.
I love this piece.
It'll be up in the show notes, and I strongly recommend you read it.
Show notes available at Bongino.com.
Subscribe to my email list.
I'll email them right to you.
Andy McCarthy, one of the brightest legal minds out there on television, says,
Ignore the hype.
This is not an impeachment inquiry.
Folks, impeachment is a constitutional process.
A majority of the House of Representatives can vote to impeach the president.
The impeachment is the equivalent of, say, an indictment in the legal system.
There is then a trial.
A lot of liberals don't know that.
They think impeachment means you're removed from office.
It doesn't.
There is then a trial in the United States Senate
presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
In that trial, 67 out of the 100 United States senators
are required to convict the president
on the charges in the articles of impeachment,
which are the equivalent of, say, a legal system indictment.
If you don't get 67 senators,
then the president may have been impeached,
but he will certainly not be removed from office.
Get it?
Again, that history lesson
is not for the intelligent listeners of the show.
It's for the liberals who seem confused
about what's happening.
So you may say to yourself,
well, why aren't they taking a vote, Dan?
If you said a majority,
we need a majority to get an impeachment charge
or articles of impeachment. Why aren't they taking a vote? Isn't there you said a majority, we need a majority to get an impeachment charge or articles of impeachment.
Why aren't they taking a vote?
Isn't there some kind of a process?
Well, there was.
There was for the presidents that have been impeached in the past, Johnson and Clinton.
No, Nixon wasn't impeached.
He resigned before it happened.
Sorry, liberal media people who keep reporting that.
Nixon wasn't impeached.
What's actually going on
here is a bull rush. Now, why is that? Ladies and gentlemen, impeachment was designed specifically,
hence my primer there, to be a very deliberate process. It was designed to be hopefully a
nonpartisan process because removing a president from office and overturning the results of an election is a very, very serious thing. What is going on now is not a long,
deliberate process. It is a bull rush to the fences. Andy McCarthy explains this well let's go to piece uh number one from uh takeaway number one from
andy's piece he says you know moreover there are no subpoenas as secretary pompeo observed in his
fittingly tart response on tuesday when the committee chairman what issue what he issued
was merely a letter it's huffing and puffing notwithstanding the letter is nothing more than
an informal request for voluntary cooperation legally Legally, it has no compulsive power.
If anything, it is rife with legal deficiencies.
Okay, we're going to go back to that in a second.
So, let's be clear what's going on here.
Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi gave that presser last week and said,
you know, we demand, we're sending these demand letters to Mike Pompeo,
Secretary of State, to testify about Ukraine gain. Also, they're trying to pretend this was a subpoena to appease the left that wants a formal impeachment process.
Paul, if this gets confusing, yell in here, OK?
Because it's important, folks.
That is not what's going on right now.
There was no subpoena to Mike Pompeo.
What Adam Schiff sent was the equivalent of a blank you letter
you get the rest
to Pompeo
was a letter that was it
we demand you come forward
and if you don't come forward and speak to us
it was not a subpoena
they could issue subpoenas
but they're not
I'll get to that reason in a second too
you may say Dan he's a committee chair in Congress
they can issue congressional subpoenas why not just subpoena pompeo oh i will get to that they just sent a
letter you get your butt over here mike we need to talk to you to which pompeo said no thanks
not going to threaten me like that put that first screenshot back up again
andy mccarthy goes on the democrats of course hope you don't notice that the house is not
conducting a formal impeachment inquiry ladies and gentlemen there's no vote no subpoenas they're
using the guise of frenetic activity by several standing committees intel judiciary foreign
affairs oversight reform financial services ways means, whose normal oversight functions are being gussied up to look like this is
serious impeachment business.
Folks, why did they not send the subpoena?
They didn't send the subpoena because impeachment is not a legal process.
It is not a criminal trial.
There's a trial in the Senate. But ladies
and gentlemen, make no mistake. Impeachment is a political process. It is not a legal one.
It may be worded in the Constitution, treason, bribery, high crimes, and misdemeanor
worthy of impeachment. But make no mistake, the Democrats have turned this into a political
referendum against Donald Trump to get rid of him before the 2020 election.
Stay tuned to the end of the show.
I want to play a video if I can get to it.
That's really good about how they're so terrified Trump is going to win again in 2020 that they see impeachment as their only way to overturn the results of the election.
This is not illegal.
They have no evidence of high crimes, misdemeanor, treason or bribery at all against Donald Trump.
This is a political trial.
What does that have to do with the subpoena?
Ladies and gentlemen, if they were to issue a formal subpoena, which they did not,
that subpoena would likely be litigated in court
because the Trump team's not just going to turn information over.
They have executive privilege also.
Well, what's the problem with that?
If the Trump team committed a high crime, misdemeanor, treason, or bribery,
then wouldn't the Democrats want to get that in court and litigate that, keep it out in the public eye to make the Trump team committed a high crime, misdemeanor, treason, or bribery, then wouldn't the Democrats want to get that in court and litigate that?
Keep it out in the public eye to make the Trump team look bad?
No, they don't.
Because they don't actually have any evidence.
So they did this little slick trick, and I'll get to another piece of McCarthy's piece in a second, a little portion of it, because he explains this well.
in a second, a little portion of it, because he explains this well.
So what they're doing is they're pretending to impeach the president because they want to nail him on a charge.
You may say, well, what charge is that?
Dan, treason, bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors?
They have none of that.
So they have to do what they did in the collusion hoax when it didn't work out.
Go right back to Democrat Adam Schiff,
ace in the hole of what's that?
Obstruction of justice.
Remember how that one worked out in the Mueller probe?
He colluded with the Russians.
Well, there's no evidence he colluded with the Russians.
Well, he definitely obstructed justice
into a case about colluding with the Russians,
although he didn't collude with the Russians.
Remember that one, how they flipped the script?
I only predicted that one two years ago.
That's what they're doing now.
Tape this portion of the show and keep it on your phone.
Tape it. I'm showing my age.
Get a pencil and spin the thing around.
You older folks know what I'm talking about, who are my age.
They are not going to have a case against Trump.
There was no quid pro quo with Ukraine.
I got that coming up in a second too.
They have nothing.
So they're going to initiate another faux investigation,
send a bunch of demand letters.
And when those demand letters aren't complied with,
they are going to level an impeachment article of obstruction of justice.
Watch.
Just get ready.
From Andy McCarthy's piece. This is a great piece,
so worth your time. But standing committees do have subpoena power, so why not use it?
Well, because subpoenas get litigated in court when the people or agencies on the receiving end object to them. Democrats want to have an impeachment show um an inquiry on television
they don't want to have to defend its bona fides in an actual court they certainly do not want to
defend their letter they're talking about the letter they sent to pompeo you better appear
the democrats media scribes note the chairman's admonition that any failure by pompeo to comply
with their letter listen to this folks shall constitute evidence of obstruction of the House's impeachment inquiry.
What a crock.
I'll rephrase Andy's last portion.
What a pile of...
Really?
So you have the power, Nancy Pelosi, to take a House floor vote,
to levy actual articles of impeachment.
You can issue formal congressional subpoenas.
Why are you not doing any of that?
Because they are in a rush in a political process and they don't want to wind up in court having to defend charges that don't exist.
All they have is the president's unwilling. To comply with their ridiculous demands.
They're setting him up for an obstruction charge.
Now I haven't explained why the speed is necessary.
They're in a rush with these letters.
And they don't want to litigate it in court.
So they're using letters instead of subpoenas.
For a very simple reason.
They thought they had the president.
On the hook. They thought they had the president on the hook.
They thought.
They thought the Ukraine gate, the phone call, the fake prid quo quo.
They thought they'd turn the corner on public opinion.
Now they've got a bit of a problem, folks.
President's raising record amounts of money.
His approval rating's at an all-time high.
It's not quite working out the way they thought it was.
So Nancy Pelosi's telling her members, from what I'm getting behind closed doors,
ladies, gents, it's time to make this thing move and fast because we're losing the initiative.
We're losing the initiative.
That's from a movie somewhere, I forget.
They can't go through subpoena, legal process. Gosh, we want this guy out of office let's just send the letter and if they don't comply with the letter threaten them with
obstruction by the way let me just clear up one thing too before i move on because they called
their first witness in their fake impeachment trial yesterday and their first witness kurt
volker it absolutely blew up in hysterically blew up in their face.
This is some epic stuff.
But let me clear up one thing as well.
I've been getting a lot of emails on this
and it's important.
It's important.
We're going to put that on a shirt.
It's important.
Folks, asking a foreign government for help
is not evidence of an FEC violation.
We discussed this earlier in the week
with Ellen Weintraub from the FEC
who's trying to make up new charges
that foreign government's help
is somehow a campaign violation.
Ladies and gentlemen, that is not true.
As the example I gave earlier in the week
in the Wall Street Journal,
what if your Uber driver, who is not a U.S. citizen,
tells a campaign representative sometime
some information about a campaign? What do you do? Are you all going to be arrested?
People still have free speech, not to mention we have treaties with both China and Ukraine,
joint corruption agreements where we'll investigate corruption and exchange information.
President Trump complying by those treaties and trying to get to the bottom of the corruption
in the Obama administration
and the Hunter Biden fiasco
overseas with his dad
is not only
not unethical, it's entirely
ethical and compliant with the law
this nonsense out there
that this is somehow a campaign donation
or a campaign violation, how?
Is President Trump fulfilling his duties,
complying with his treaty obligations
to investigate corruption?
It's nonsense.
That's totally, completely made up.
It's a Democrat fairytale.
All right.
So, I had to set that up.
Forgive me for the intro.
A little long.
But I had to set up the fake charges.
It's not a campaign violation.
He's simply doing what the treaties obligate him to set up the fake charges. It's not a campaign violation. He's simply
doing what the treaties obligate him to do, investigate corruption. But secondly,
this is not an impeachment inquiry going on. I mean, impeachment trial. This is an impeachment
inquiry. It's a fake impeachment. They're not issuing subpoenas. And why are they doing this?
Because they want to bull rush. They want to bull rush an obstruction charge when Trump doesn't
comply and they can't have the obstruction charge drag on because the subpoenas are litigated. They want to bull rush an obstruction charge when Trump doesn't comply and they can't have the obstruction charge drag on because the subpoenas are litigated. They want the obstruction
charge now. That makes sense, Paula? Okay, thank you. So they call their first witness yesterday,
Kurt Volker, who was a special envoy to Ukraine. Now, backstory, Volker's the one in the text with
Rudy Giuliani. they're setting up this
meeting with the new ukrainian president zielinski so volker got roped into this and he's been
giuliani had some texts he showed on tv giuliani was asked by volker apparently at some point
to go and talk to zielinski julianiiani has the texts. Texts, excuse me.
So Volker was brought up yesterday to talk to them up on the Hill.
And ladies and gentlemen, the media was losing their minds.
This is it.
This special envoy, Kurt Volker, is going to bury the Trump team.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have the smoking gun.
This was smoking gun number 62,000, just like the State Department, ICIG, the other day,
Linick, who wound up blowing up their spot, totally giving information on Yovanovitch and others. gun this was smoking gun number 62 000 just like the state department icig the other day linic
who wound up blowing up their spot totally giving information on yovanovitch and others
everything's book shift was like this is it volker's gonna blow it up he's gonna give us
an example of the quid pro quo kurt volker who knows the ukraine story is gonna tell everybody
that trump threatened military aid withholding military aid if they didn't give up information on hunter biden so much so that abc news got to scoop check out this fake news tweet they put up this is just
peachy don't worry i'll get to the bottom of this for you as always
breaking bill taylor top u.s diplomat to Ukraine, wrote that he thought it's, quote, crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign in newly disclosed text messages shared with lawmakers.
Oh, man.
Oh, they got him now.
It's a Maalox moment.
They got Paula.
They got him. They got him.
They got him.
There it is, folks, in a text.
Can you put that up again?
Bill Taylor, this Ukrainian diplomat.
Look at this guy.
He had a text message to our top diplomat in Ukraine.
It's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign.
Breaking.
You may say, Dan, this is it.
That's the quid pro quo.
One of Trump's uh one of trump's
own people on the inside these diplomats involved in this um there's a little problem with that text
let's go to foxnews.com and let's talk about what happened in answer in response that was
conveniently left out of that tweet no That tweet is cleverly worded.
Foxnews.com.
Ex-Ukraine envoy Volker meets with lawmakers amid impeachment probe as texts reveal quid pro quo dispute.
This piece will be up in the show notes, too.
Well, what's the dispute?
That guy, Bill Taylor.
Bill Taylor's saying it right there, right?
Bill Taylor, who's the charge, by the way, the charge for the number two in Ukraine for the United States.
Well, what was the actual text exchange?
Let's put up this piece from FoxNews.com because we don't do fake news here.
Here's the Taylor text first.
Again, as I said on the phone, he's texting, by the way, Volker.
Excuse me.
He's not.
He's texting.
Who is he texting? Gordon S's texting, who is he texting?
Gordon Sondland, who is our ambassador to the EU.
He says, as I said on the phone, it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign, Taylor said in a text exchange.
Sondland responded by saying, that was not what was happening.
Don't go to it.
Leave this.
This is fascinating how they leave this part out
put that back up sonlin gordon sonlin our ambassador to the eu who's in this text
this response is left out of the text making it look like there's an actual quid pro quo put that
back up a second here we go here's the response bill i believe you are incorrect about president
trump's intentions the president has been crystal clear.
No quid pro quos of any kind.
The president is trying to evaluate whether Ukraine is truly,
truly going to adopt the transparency and reforms that President Zelensky promised during his campaign.
Both men then agreed to cease discussing the matter over text,
noting that phone calls with appropriate officials would be, would be, oh gosh,
I can't even finish the sentence.
Again, folks,
it's funny how they bash us, right?
All of us out there, Trump supporters,
Republicans who aren't Trump supporters,
but are conservatives, libertarians,
we're all conspiracy theorists.
We're all nuts.
I'm just giving you the facts.
That's the actual text exchange.
One guy's confused about what he thinks is a quid pro quo.
And the other guy who is actually, oh, I'll get to this in a second too.
Gordon Sondland, who was actually at the meeting the next day with the president of ukraine
by the way clears it up and says let me be crystal clear there are no quid pro quos of any kind you
think that's an important detail you may want to throw in there when trying to make the case for a
quid pro quo that was a quid pro no not a prid quo pro pro quo my mother texted me what is quid pro quo
i think i told you that something for something a deal there was no deal
now you may say yeah what the heck would our ambassador to the EU know? What would he know about this whole thing?
How is he connected to this?
Well, let's go to the Ukrainian government,
which issued this little release here.
Here's an actual photo.
By the way, I want to hat tip Rosie Memos on Twitter.
Always does a nice job.
That is the highlight.
So hat tip Rosie Memos, follow that account.
Here's the president of Ukraine's official website.
President met with U.S. special representative for Ukraine and U.S. representative to the European Union.
Kurt Volker and Gordon Sondland.
There's the picture.
They're actually at the meeting.
But I want you to look at the date and notice who's not there.
The guy, Bill Taylor, who puts in the text, hey, is this a quid pro quo? He's not actually at the meeting, but I want you to look at the date and notice who's not there. The guy Bill Taylor who puts in the text, hey, is this a quid pro quo?
He's not actually at the meeting.
Gordon Sondland and Kurt Volker are.
Volker shows up to testify to this stuff yesterday.
There's no quid pro quo.
And look at the date of the meeting or the date this was released.
The date of the meeting, July 26, 2019.
Why does that matter?
Why does that date matter?
Ladies and gentlemen, because it's the day after the Trump phone call, this whole hullabaloo
was started over.
It's the day after the Trump call to Ukraine and the president was July 25th.
So just to be clear,
Gordon Sondland, who is actually in the meeting
the day later, who makes crystal
clear in a text there are to be no quid pro
quos of any kind in a
text message, goes and meets with
the Ukrainian minister, excuse me,
president the next day to relay this message
on behalf of President Trump
with Kurt Volker, who was called to testify
yesterday.
And yet your charge still is going to be in your fake impeachment.
That's not an impeachment.
It's just a bunch of, hey, you letters.
Your charge is going to be there was a quid pro quo.
You have you have counter evidence of that.
You don't have evidence.
You have anti evidence.
You have a transcript with no quid pro quo
you have a text from a guy in the meeting with ukrainian president the next day
saying there's no quid pro quo and you have another guy questioning it who wasn't even in the meeting
ladies and gentlemen this is adam schiff lied again version version number, what do I have? 2,746. I'm not even
kidding. I put numbers down just to mess with them. There was no deal. Schiff is making this
whole thing up. There was no deal. Volker was their first witness yesterday. They were expecting
Volker to go up there and talk about this deal. And Volker
went up there, from what I'm hearing, and said the exact opposite. They are losing the initiative
badly. This has been a just spectacular boomerang on the left. All right. I've got a lot more to get
to. I've got a bogus poll alert. Bogus poll alert.
I want you to be – I got some video of Rashida Tlaib I was supposed to get to yesterday.
I got that video that the Republican Party put out to show you that they're only looking for impeachment.
And I've got this troubling story about this – what happened to this cop who was killed in the line of duty and just how politics is just infesting everything.
It's really pathetic.

Ladies and gentlemen, bogus poll alert.
We need like a warning bell to go off of this stuff because the media has, I saw, it's quoted
in the piece.
Susan Page was on, was it Fox the other day, citing this poll. Here we go. PJ Media's piece will be up in the piece Susan Page was on was it Fox the other day citing this poll here we
go PJ Media's piece will be up in the show notes again bogus poll supports bogus impeachment
remember we're not actually going through an impeachment fake impeachment inquiry by Stephen
Green October 3rd 2019 so ladies and gentlemen what's the poll the poll shows that wow what is
it 46 percent of Americans they support impeachment every. The Democrats were all over the news. Look, the numbers are going up.
Everybody supports impeachment.
Get this guy out of office.
The fake impeachment inquiry, whatever, this should proceed tomorrow.
Everybody wants his president.
Look at this poll.
Well, as always, there was a little issue with the poll.
And by little issue, I mean big issue.
From the PJ Media piece, Iipsos conducted a two-day survey
i thought it was a poll by their own admission from a sample of roughly 1006 adults who were
randomly drawn from ipsos's online panel really is that a random sample of people i'm really sure
about that plus partner online panel sources and river sampling. This doesn't look like the world's most reliable statistical universe, and how does it?
First off, that's a small number for such a big issue. Secondly, Ipsos didn't limit their polling,
as one likes to do on weighty matters, to likely voters who actually determine elections.
Matter of fact, folks, quoting the piece, Ipsos didn't even limit their polling to registered
voters. For all we know, the poll wasn't even limited to citizens. Ipsos says that they only polled adults. Folks, throw this thing in the garbage. This is not a serious scientific analysis of the percentage of Americans that support impeachment.
can support impeachment. If I thought it was, hey folks, I was the first one. You can listen to the show. Regular listeners know I said this. When I see polls I think are reliable, some of them in
Pennsylvania are scaring me right now. I have been the first to say it. When I think polls are trash
or surveys, I'll be the first to say, throw this thing in the garbage. Could change. Could change.
Who knows? With all the hackery in the media and the shift conspiracy theories, the poll could change.
And it could be honest.
This one is not it.
It is a survey of adults from their little pool of people in Ipsos.
Basura.
Right out there in the garbage.
Burn that thing.
I just want you to be prepared because I'm sure your Democrat friends are going to tout this ridiculous poll.
Look, the numbers are going up on impeachment.
It's so frustrating dealing with leftists.
All right, do we do we should?
No, let's do this.
Okay, I want to get back to this.
This is important.
Everything's important these days.
Another piece of PJ media about how this Biden scandal
is rapidly evolving into an Obama scandal.
And I want to tie it to something else I spoke about in the past here's the piece it's a good one again
it'll be in the show notes is joe biden turning his quid pro quo into an obama scandal matt
margolis october 3rd 2019 folks what's going on here i'll get to that in a second okay i wanted
to tie this back to a prior story and why the media, I believe right now, and their leftist allies are so concerned about what's going on and what this is morphing into.
This may bother you, but I'll say it anyway.
I don't think the media cares much about preserving the dignity of Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton.
What?
No, I'm serious.
I think the media has gone full leftist.
They see Elizabeth Warren's the chosen one. And when they see there's political damage to be done to a wounded animal to get him out of the way for a bigger animal on the food chain to supersede them and win an election, they'll scrap them to the side. Hillary Clinton has now Clinton. They just want her and Biden out of the way to allow for the ascendancy of Elizabeth Warren.
Does that make sense?
I hope it does.
They're leftists through and through.
And they see a better chance with Elizabeth Warren winning against Donald Trump than they do against Biden, who they sense is a wounded animal at this point.
But they're not really piling on the biden train yet why because folks biden has implicated obama
in his ukrainian scandal and oh obama is the chosen one if they dismantle the obama legacy
everything they stand for in their leftist ideology will fall apart now some of you
who are regular listeners to the show might be sensing an evergreen theme here.
I can't wait to do that.
Remember when the Hillary Clinton email scandal broke
and I said to you that the real scandal
is not about Hillary Clinton?
And many of you were like, wait, what?
Of course it was.
No, it is.
But I don't believe the media is covering for Hillary Clinton anymore.
Media is covering for Barack Obama.
How's that?
Ladies and gentlemen, you remember back when Hillary Clinton said that, or Barack Obama
said about Hillary Clinton's email scandal?
I heard about it on TV.
I didn't know anything about it.
Remember that little doozy?
Well, we found out later that Hillary Clinton was emailing Obama from foreign soil on his BlackBerry
from her private email. Now, you may say, as many of you have in the past, you may say,
ah, Dan, so maybe Obama just didn't look at Hillary's email and thought it was a State Department email.
Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think that's true.
Barack Obama's email, you can't just email it, folks.
It has security protections built in through the walk of people, White House Communications Agency people.
You have to be whitelisted to be able to email.
It's the opposite of a blacklist.
You have to have your email on a specific list to be able to email Obama.
Who gave Hillary Clinton's private email to WACA or the people responsible for securing
that device in WACA and told them to allow those emails to get through?
How's that possible?
I thought Obama found out about it from the media.
Those two stories can't possibly be true.
Somebody in the Obama White House had to have allowed Obama's BlackBerry to be bypassed
by Hillary Clinton's personal email.
Someone.
That is what they're covering.
They do not want Obama ever to have to testify in a case against Hillary Clinton for violating
our classified email procedures.
Ever.
That is now transitioning over to this PJ Media piece we just talked about.
I want to put up a little portion of the piece because it explains what's going on here.
Why this is now transitioning from an Obama, a Biden scandal, forgive me, to an Obama Biden scandal.
From the piece, on Wednesday, Biden said he was simply carrying out the official policy of the Obama administration to root out corruption in Ukraine.
Now, what is this about?
administration to root out corruption in ukraine now what is this about obama excuse me biden is on tape again demanding that victor shokin the ukrainian prosecutor
be fired shokin's investigating his kid
now biden says well when i asked for him to be fired i was just carrying out obama's policies
he says quote it was fully transparent the policy carried out in front of the whole world and fully, fully embraced by the international
community of democracies, he claimed. From the peace, here's where things get dirty, dirty.
According to Victor Shokin, the prosecutor who was fired, Biden's pressure was responsible for
getting him fired. Shokin also said that Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko
told him not to investigate Burisma,
Hunter Biden's son's company,
Hunter Biden's company,
because it was not in the best interest of Joe
or Hunter Biden.
According to Rudy Giuliani's notes
of the meeting with Shokin,
Mr. Shokin was called into Poroshenko's office
and told that the investigation into Burisma
and the managing director where Hunter Biden is on the board
has caused Joe Biden to hold up to $1 billion in USAID to Ukraine.
Ladies and gentlemen, this sounds to me like Barack Obama knew exactly what was going on.
Again, the media is in no rush to defend Biden.
They want him out of the way badly.
The media is in no rush to defend Hillary anymore. They need out of the way badly. The media is in no rush
to defend Hillary anymore.
They need her out.
They need to enact a liberal agenda.
Hillary's not the key to that.
But they still defend them
because both of these scandals
are knee-deep
in Obama administration malfeasance.
Obama had to know
that this threat to fire the prosecutor,
that this threatened hold-up of the military assistance,
the billion dollars in aid,
had to know that was contingent on the firing of a prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden.
As a matter of fact, Joe Biden even says it in that video cut
where he says that the Council of Foreign Relations,
when he says we
get on and son of a b they fired him and he said to me you know you can't do that you don't have
any authority and joe biden says we'll get the president on the phone i thought the president
didn't know by the way how furious do you think Obama's team is now with Biden?
They want him to get out of this race so badly.
I can't even tell you, folks.
All right, don't go anywhere.
I've got, I have this next segment labeled,

okay a couple of just quick videos just to show you
how the trump effect which we've discussed repeatedly on the show what is the trump effect
trump because he refuses to apologize to leftist leftist demands for him to to uh lie on the ground
and kneel before them he drives them wild the left in the past what did they do they threatened us
listen we'll call you guys and ladies racist and oh we're so we apologize remember mitt romney with the 47 percent of people don't
pay taxes which was actually a factually accurate accurate statement oh they had to find a way let's
apologize why'd they apologize they should have doubled down so yeah you guys should really start
paying taxes be great they didn't do it that's what trump would do so they're used to the apologies
so the think of the psychology the left intimidated us in the past through the media. Republicans apologized.
The left's pounded their chest and said
we win. Got you now.
We win, you
lose. Well, new rules. Now
we win, you lose. Trump doesn't care.
So by not caring and
sticking it back to them and refusing to apologize
he's driving the left absolutely
bonkers. Crazy.
And they double down and say even dumber stuff than they said in advance.
Here's number one.
This is Rashida Tlaib in Detroit talking to the police chief about a camera system they have.
And you may not have seen this.
Some of you may have.
But kind of hinting that all black men look alike.
What? Check this out you know what
and also analysts need to be african-americans not people that are
not because let me tell you no it happens all the time it's true I think
I think non african-americansan Americans think African Americans all look the same.
I've seen it even on the House floor, people calling Elijah Cummings John Lewis
and John Lewis Elijah Cummings, and they're totally different people.
I'm just saying. I see it all the time.
And I love them because they go along with it.
Well, I trust people who are trained.
I know.
Regardless of race, regardless of gender. It's about the training. But it does make a huge difference. I know. Regardless of race, regardless of gender.
It's about the training. But it does make a huge
difference. It does.
What just happened?
She just...
Oh my gosh, it's not funny.
What just happened?
Did she just seriously suggest
to the Detroit police chief
that trained law enforcement officers
cannot tell black men
apart folks I mean I'm horrified even discussing this I really I'm not even kidding I it's why
yesterday I was going to play it during yesterday's show I want I had a double I had to like do a
double take on this because this is so dumb and it just reminds me again of tucker carlson's brilliant line with the left the virtue is the sin right
they the left claims to be virtuous in what calling out fake acts of racism on the right
stuff they make up institutionally i'm not saying it's not individual acts of course of stupidity by
people unfortunately on all sides of political but they believe the Republican Party is an institutionally racist party.
They don't actually believe that.
They want you to believe that.
And they pound their chests.
We are in the right.
We are your moral superiors.
We are virtuous.
Meanwhile, they're the racists themselves.
What kind of racist statement is that?
It gets better.
Here's this week in Rashida talib clip number two where she's seriously
suggesting at some kind of event she's holding whether in her district or elsewhere
she's trying to figure out with her colleagues she's ruminating with the crowd over when they
arrest donald trump i'm not this is not i did not alter this where they're actually going to put them
this is the kind of psychosis tds level six infections are bringing about check this out
so let me tell you this is pretty and this is and this is the last caucus conversation we've had
do you know this is really unprecedented this is the first time we've ever had a situation like
this so they're trying to figure out no joke they're
trying to figure out well is it the dc police that goes against them no no where do we hold them
i mean this is the kind of like i'm not in those kinds of conversations but i'm asking like
you know what what happens and they're like well rashida we're trying to figure it out ourselves
because this is uncharted territory. Paula.
Folks, again, we are on like serious life support here.
This is like crazy time.
These are either there's only one of two scenarios.
She's telling the truth which is disturbing she's telling the truth that her and her democrat colleagues are actually having discussions about
where to store trump in the in the capital well we have those handcuffs i used to be a cop i have
handcuffs i came out wrong i used to be a police officer i still have my stuff batons and everything
but when you have a handcuff right in the in the police in a lot of the precincts when you're I came out wrong. I used to be a police officer. I still have my stuff, batons and everything.
When you have a handcuff, right, in the police, in a lot of the precincts, when you're interviewing someone, there's a little like hook thing device on it and you handcuff them so they can't get loose in the interview room.
Are they really like, hey, guys, downstairs in the Capitol, do we have an interview room for Trump with the cuff thing?
You know, the little cuff hook?
Do we have that? Do we have like a device? Maybe with the cuff thing? You know, the little cuff hook? Do we have that?
Do we have like a device?
Maybe we can strap them to the wall.
Folks, this is crazy town.
We are living in bizarro Superman land.
So that's scenario one.
Scenario two, she's just making it up, which is disturbing, but honestly not as, you know,
they lie a lot.
It's not as disturbing as scenario one where this is actually happening.
And she's discussing it in front of a group of people like they're proud.
Folks, we have reached crazy town.
Serious, what was that kid's cartoon?
Was it crazy town or whatever?
We saw it with that guy.
They always had like the plastic stuff on their faces and jumped around.
You're like, what is that?
What universe are we living in?
By the way, I tip Mr. Producer from Mark Levin for sending that.
But I got to tell you, Rich, I was on it before you sent that over.
He did.
He's like, look at this.
Rashida Tlaib wants to wonder where they're going to store Trump.
They think it's like The Walking Dead.
They're wondering where to store Negan after they arrested Negan.
They're like, where do we put Negan?
Let's build a cell for him.
Rashida Tlaib, AOC, Bernie Sanders, they're all downstairs with Elizabeth Warren with cinder blocks and mortar and rebar building a cell for Trump in the basement.
Folks, this is crazy time.
Speaking of crazy time, but this is a sad story.
This is really like, again, TDS level six infections are contagious and are breaking out everywhere.
So we have this hero police officer, Sergeant Ron Helles.
I can't say his name enough.
Another piece in PJ Media.
PJ Media, big score on the Dan Bongino show today.
Three articles. We'll put them up at the show and it's definitely worth your time so jack dunphy october 2nd 2009 pj media charity event charity event charity event
there we go charity event for slain police officer canceled because Trump supporters were to be in attendance. Wait, what?
So the organizer of this charity flag football game,
a guy by the name of Mike Randell,
wants to do the right thing and raise money
for this hero police officer, Sergeant Ron Helles,
who died in the Thousand Oaks shooting a few months ago.
Nice thing, right?
Nothing partisan about thing, right?
Nothing partisan about that, right?
Well, apparently the local politicians and Democrats, including the Sheriff's Department,
according to the report, pulled out of the event because Trump supporters, including actor Scott Baio and Joy Villa, who's a Trump supporter and is a singer, were going to show
up to the event.
So they just determined that they would cancel the event,
and the corporate sponsors pulled out therefore afterwards.
Ladies and gentlemen, again, we are living in a deeply, deeply troubling time.
Now, I've been getting a lot of emails from you,
and I feel the need and the necessity to respond appropriately.
All right, what do we do?
Folks, what we can do.
We live in an imperfect world. I'm not going to offer you back perfect solutions. I can't. I'd be lying to you.
Arrest them all. Folks, it's not going to happen. I hope justice is done. I think some people will
be arrested. I think some people will do jail time. As I've said repeatedly, I think some won't.
people will do jail time as I've said repeatedly I think some won't sadly
I think some are going to get off
but you know listen I'm not your preacher
and I've never intended to be
my faith is mine and yours is yours
but that
prayer God grant me the serenity
you know the rest many of you
this is the time for that
accept the things you can't change. Change the things you
can. And what can you do? You can get your butts up, which I know you will, and grab 10 of your
friends or 20 of your friends in this next election and you can vote and you can organize
and you can register voters and you can knock on doors. These are things you can do.
And when we win this election, and hopefully the next one after that, we can hopefully fix this country we live in right now, which is still the greatest country on earth, but it's having serious problems.
I'm not trying to give you a Newt Rockne speech.
But we live in an imperfect world.
And we have to do what we can do individually at our
own level to change it you know what a guy i really enjoy his stuff is jordan peterson
and peterson has this line about clean up your own bedroom first before you change the world
in other words act locally where you can change something. You have local elections.
You can vote.
You can organize.
You can knock on doors.
Slowly but surely, we'll turn this ship around, folks.
It's not all lost.
I only give you these stories about Tlaib and the sheriff's office and these lunatics who don't want to raise money for a fallen cop because of Trump.
So you understand the animosity and the anger on the other side, too.
They're motivated, too.
Take that anger you send in some emails to me, and they're not directed at me.
I don't take them personal.
I understand your anger.
But turn it into something positive, and let's make some changes in this 2020 election.
Sorry, I don't mean to be pep talks.
It's not my job.
But I mean it.
It matters to me, too.
I ran for office.
I put my name on a ballot three times, folks.
My time is over. It's time for other people. I lost. I tried my best. Paula hates when I say this. Why do we say that? Because it matters to me. I fought the fight I could fight. It didn't work out. I changed what I thought I could. We almost won. Almost is not good enough. But my time's over. This is what I do now. And I love it because I hope it motivates some other people to get out and vote too.
Okay, last story of the day.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is kind of a bad good story.
Bittersweet, right?
The Democrats are terrified.
They are terrified about 2020.
I said to you a couple weeks ago about the polls, how the polls are changing,
how this impeachment thing is blowing up. The fake impeachment is blowing up spectacularly the democrats faces i mean it
really is the numbers are turning around this has just been very very ugly for the democrats and the
boomerang effect is real and they're getting frustrated uh the free beacon the r the rnc the
republicans put together this little compilation here is a quick video of the democrats basically
telling you why
they want to impeach trump again it has nothing to do with actual criminal charge they don't have
any treason bribery high crimes or misdemeanors they have none of them folks they're terrified
they're going to lose in 2020 and they are in a mad rush to get this guy out of office before the
election that's why you haven't seen any subpoenas check out this video it's a good one this little
compilation the only harm that i may be doing to the president is i want him impeached i would uh That's why you haven't seen any subpoenas. Check out this video. It's a good one. This little compilation.
The only harm that I may be doing to the president is I want him impeached.
I would I would I would support impeachment.
I think that, you know, we have the grounds to do it because we're going to go in there
and we're going to impeach the mother****.
Exactly.
I think we are essentially in the beginning of an impeachment process.
I think that there is a lot of momentum towards an impeachment inquiry.
Yes, exactly what I feel. I think we've already begun it.
We have to get ready for impeachment with this president.
The time has come, Mr. Speaker, for the House of Representatives
to begin an impeachment inquiry into President Trump.
It's time for us to impeach this president.
I'm concerned that if we don't impeach this president,
he will get reelected.
Nice job,
house Republican conference.
That's a great video.
And Congressman green,
uh,
is right.
That is exactly,
exactly their intention.
Now they have been saying that those clips, for those of you watching on YouTube,
YouTube.com slash Bongino, there's dates.
This has been going on since the president was elected.
They have the dates in front of all those clips.
AOC, you had who else in there?
You had Ilhan Omar.
You had a bunch of different congressmen and congresswomen going through,
oh, impeach, impeach, impeach, impeach.
This is not about a high crime, misdemeanor, treason, or bribery.
This is about a political fight to get the president out of office because the real political
fight, the election of 2020, the Democrats feel they may lose and they can't have you
deciding elections.
They need to decide them for you.
Folks, what's going on right now is a disgrace.
