Starting point is 00:03:26 All right, Joe, let's go. Ding, ding. I'm back in the mood. For those of you checking in on me again, appreciate it. I'm good. Kids ready for the fight ahead. Seriously, I'm not trying to like be Captain Tough Guy. I'm good.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Needed a day to work everything out. Now we're A-okay. Now let's get back in the mix. So the media agrees, Joe. See, that justice. Is that right? That is right. You may say, no, they don't.
Starting point is 00:03:51 And they've been attacking Trump in perpetuity. Stunner. They've been attacking him. Don't you dare in an election year, President Trump, dare nominate someone to fill the seat of recently passed Ruth Bader Ginsburg. That would be an abomination.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Can't possibly happen. Well, hat tip. What is this? Is this a Grabian supercut? Or is that the other one? No, this is a media research center. Grabian's the Trump is definitely Hitler supercut. Oh, yeah, we got that one too.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Yeah, that's coming up next. Trump is definitely Hitler. They've broken all the Godwin laws. But before that, the media, of course, has told you, right? Everybody listening, the left-wing media lunatics who are full-time activists for the Democrat Party, what have they told you?
Starting point is 00:04:33 They've told you the obvious. It is unprecedented to nominate a justice in an election near this coast to an election. Really? Because that's not what they told us before Trump was president. Here is an excellent at-tbusters media research center cut of the media telling us what me and Joe agree on. See that justice. Check this out.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Article two of the Constitution makes clear the president nominates the Senate advises and consents. It doesn't say except not an election year. It would be rare for the Senate to turn the president down in an election year. 17 presidents including five in the 20th century successfully put justices on the court during an election year. Six Supreme Court justices have been confirmed in presidential election years. The Senate voted on seven Supreme Court nominees during election years. A critical seat on the Supreme Court for during election years. And a critical seat on the Supreme Court, for now, held hostage to presidential campaign politics.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Refusing to hold a hearing on a Supreme Court nominee takes the GOP's congressional dysfunction to new lows. Just hold the hearing. Seriously? Just hold the hearing. Do you think people look at this as another one of those boots in the face to the president? Obstructionism that I am not endorsing.
Starting point is 00:05:43 I think it's outrageous. What they want to say is he's got a three year term. I mean, you were elected for four years and you get to nominate for four years. It is all about politics of the ugly variety. The people decided in 2012 who was going to nominate Supreme Court justices between January of 2013 and January of 2017. These people were elected and they're paid by United States Treasury to do their job and now they're saying we're not going to do our job.
Starting point is 00:06:08 The US Senate should do their job. They show up day in and day out and they get a paycheck. They should do their job and vote it up or down. I thought the American people decided to put President Obama in the White House and that the Constitution says now the President decides what name to send to them and they decide whether to vote yes or no. What did I get wrong there? There it is.
Starting point is 00:06:31 The double guns. Nice. We played for you, of course, the other day. I don't know. Was it Tuesday, Monday? Who knows? It's been a long week. Things are kind of blending in.
Starting point is 00:06:42 We played for you, Barack Obama and Joe Biden themselves saying, hey, election year, election year, we're going to put someone on that Supreme Court seat when Antonin Scalia tragically died. And then they changed their mind now that it's an open seat for Trump in an election year, where, by the way, he's not a lame duck. He hasn't lost an election and he's not termed out President Trump. He's not a lame duck. The presidency is four years and he's going to take every minute of it. Could be eight years if he's reelected. Now I'm playing for you the media. All the same media, liberal lunatic, leftist activists who are telling you now it would be unheard of, unprecedented to seat someone in an election year.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Except you said the opposite. Yeah, all of you. Chris Hayes, Chris Cuomo, the Chris's, the two Chris's. Matthew Dowd, was that Dowd, the delusional? Was he pretend to be a Republican? I forget. I don't even know what he pretends to be anymore. And Andrea Mitchell, it's Russian, hat tip, Rush Limbaugh. Andrea Mitchell.
Starting point is 00:07:47 All these geniuses forget they're on tape saying the exact opposite. Now, I'd like to move quickly here and transition from the media being phony frauds, which you already know, but I just want to give you the video evidence that I'm not just making this up that they're phony frauds. So you can present it to your liberal friends who tell you the media said this. No, the media said the opposite when Obama was in charge, but thanks for playing. That was fun. I want to move right into my Dan Bongino theory, which you should never name a theory after yourself, but it is my show. So the rules kind of go out the window. The Dan Bongino theory of Trump, the disruptor. As I said yesterday, it is the second sequel to the Conan,
Starting point is 00:08:27 Conan the Barbarian, Conan the Destroyer, and Trump the Disruptor, part three. Of course, there's no part three to that. I don't think there were three Conans. I'm pretty sure there were only two. The second one was a disaster. The first one, instant classic. I put it on all the time. Paula hates it.
Starting point is 00:08:42 She literally looked at me one time, right? And she said, what did you say to me? This is the worst movie I've ever seen. I'm like, I was going to divorce her right there. That is heresy. That is heresy. That is a greatest man movie ever. The original Conan the Barbarian.
Starting point is 00:08:58 But the tree quilt, Trump the disruptor is important. Why does this matter? On a serious note about this court story. So the media, obviously, Joe, doesn't care that they're on the record saying you should see the justice in an election year because it's a four-year term. And now that it's Trump's four-year term, they're saying, don't you dare see the justice. They just don't care. You understand that, but they know they're on tape. They're not stupid. Chris Cuomo, Chris Hayes, they're ideologically ridiculous, but they're not dumb people.
Starting point is 00:09:29 They're not. They know they're on tape saying the exact opposite, showing they have no principles at all. They just don't care. So why, if you were in the media, would you not care about your credibility? We haven't forfeited our principles here at all. I have said to you openly many times, I even asked President Trump a question on our second interview
Starting point is 00:09:51 about it, about things like the national debt. They were a really big deal. They were a big deal when Trump's in charge. They were a big deal when Obama was in charge. I had no problem with McConnell blocking the vote for Garland. They were in charge. We elected a Senate when Barack Obama was in his last year that wasn't his party. The party said, we are giving you advice and consent on Merrick Garland, Barack Obama. And the advice is, no thanks. We don't consent. Okay, good. Go elect a Democrat Senate if you want, and you'll have the ability to do the same.
Starting point is 00:10:21 You don't have that now. You may in January. You don't now. you'll have the ability to do the same. You don't have that now. You may in January. You don't now. Let me show you this Washington Examiner theory so I can show you how Trump has disrupted the media ecosystem so much. That was the point of that. I'm sorry. I should have got to that first. Bottom line up front. That he's disrupted the media ecosystem so much that the media now no longer cares about their own credibility at all. And Trump has turned traditional liabilities for the Republican Party into assets.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Look at this Washington Examiner piece. This was in yesterday's show notes, but it's important. Bongino.com slash newsletter. We're over 200,000 people on our newsletter now, which is the show notes, so I appreciate you signing up. It's all free, of course. Washington Examiner, Rob Crilley. The great Rob Crilley. Trump allies see political
Starting point is 00:11:02 gold in Dem's extreme response to pending SCOTUS picks. Supreme Court of the United States, of course. krilley trump allies see political gold in dem's extreme response to spend uh pending scotus pick supreme court of the united states of course ladies and gentlemen they have gone insane the democrats because trump has dared to do what i just played you two minutes of the mainstream media telling the president they should do when it was obama fill that seat when it's trump don't you dare fill that seat. But they already said fill that seat. So Trump has done what the media said under Obama,
Starting point is 00:11:29 and now they're losing their minds, and the liberals are proposing literally insane things like you should be diagnosed with a psychopathological disorder, like let's expand the United States with Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., let's pack the Senate, let's pack the courts with nine justices.
Starting point is 00:11:46 I mean, excuse me, 11 justices, 15 justices, 227 justices. This is like serious stuff the Democrats are putting out there, which is insane, serious, psychopharmacological treatment kind of stuff. So, Joe, if I fail at this explanation, I'll be very upset. Here is my theory of Trump, the disruptor. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:09 So if you got to stop me, if I mess this up in the past, if this was say George Bush, George, George W. I like George. I worked for him. He's a nice guy.
Starting point is 00:12:21 And I wasn't a big fan of his brand of conservatism. If you know what I mean, conservatism, if you know what I mean. Conservatism. But in the past, this would be, this open seat would be political dynamite. Why? Because the media knows, even though they said fill the seat under Obama,
Starting point is 00:12:38 they would come out and they would do their standard attacks on Republicans. Say the president now, same scenario as George W. Bush. Play ball with me for a minute. Who doesn't have the same fighting characteristics of Trump? The Dems and the media know to go on attacks. What do they do, Joe? We know the playbook.
Starting point is 00:12:53 To a point to see, Joe, it's racist or something. It's xenophobic. It is. How is it xenophobic? We're not appointing a foreigner. It doesn't matter. It's definitely xenophobic. For some reason, we'll explain later. How is it xenophobic? We're not appointing a foreigner. It doesn't matter. It's definitely xenophobic.
Starting point is 00:13:07 For some reason, we'll explain later. Of course, the media then goes on and explains it in a BuzzFeed article how it's xenophobic. It's definitely misogynistic. They can explain that in a minute. I'll give you, they'll be like, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she was a woman. So it's definitely misogynistic. But what if we fill it with a woman? It doesn't matter. It doesn't, it's still misogynistic to, but what if we fill it with a woman? It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:13:26 It doesn't, it's still misogynistic. So what would happen if it was the W campaign or others and they were running for reelection? What would they do? They do what Republicans always did before Trump. They would probably back down. And the media gets their scalp. That's how it works.
Starting point is 00:13:43 So I had to write this down. So again, the damn bunch, you know, of Trump, the disruptor who's. That's how it works. So I had to write this down. So again, the Dan Bongino of Trump the disruptor, who's got, how he's, and this is an explanation of why the media doesn't care anymore about anything other, but their principles, reputation, they just care about attacking Trump
Starting point is 00:13:55 because Trump did this to them. He's made them clinically insane. So in the past, I wrote Dems media, they attack, GOP immediately backs down. All they have to do is write a story about how you're definitely a misogynist for filling the seat or you don't like women or blacks or Hispanics or it doesn't matter. Just make it up because they make it up anyway. Unless it's not real, of course. Like, Dan, I thought facts matter.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Sorry about that. Shame on you. And I was thinking back to my graduate school training. Graduate school. I hate when people quote their education, but in this case, it matters because behavior learning was my thing in graduate school when I was in the City University of New York. And they have these things, classical conditioning and operating conditioning. And what you learn in conditioning is the response reward thing. So the media has a response. Call them a racist and they won't fill the seat. The reward is they don't fill the seat.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Why is it a reward? Because the media are liberal activists who don't want you to fill the seat. Response, reward. Now, human behavior, they fit very interesting patterns and they're pretty much all the same with this response reward functions. You know how you can tell? Rig a Coke machine. Remember the old Coke machine you put quarters in and you get a Coke or a Pepsi? Rig it.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Rig it so every ninth person who goes to the machine doesn't get a Coke no matter how many quarters they put in. What do they do? Joe, what does everyone do? What would you do? You kick the machine.
Starting point is 00:15:23 You shake the machine. You look at the machine. You shake it. You start kicking even harder. You stare at the machine. You son of a bitch. Exactly. The machine's not going to do anything. You're not getting your coke. It doesn't matter. People, Joe, they all do the same thing. They kick the machine. They shake the machine. Don't they? Yeah. That's got a name. The name of that type of behavior is called an extinction burst you had a response i'm not kidding you can look this up folks i spent three years of my life studying actually it's six years between undergrad and grad school but it's called an extinction burst when you've made a response and operate the behavior in the past. Put quarter in, get Coke, I'm thirsty. The reward is the Coke.
Starting point is 00:16:05 It tastes good. You respond, but there's no reward. Oh, everybody melts down. It's built into your gene code. Everyone responds roughly the same way. Kick it, look at it, stare at it, complain about it. Why?
Starting point is 00:16:23 Because you didn't get your reward. That is what's happening right now with the media. Genius! Genius! Never tell yourself you're a genius. You're witnessing an extinction burst. Kicking and screaming at a machine. That was good. At Trump. Because
Starting point is 00:16:39 they've... Joe, did I not explain that well? It was good. Yeah, that was good. Easy, too. Thank you. Thanks, man. Thank you. I needed some affirmation. that was good. Easy, too. Thank you. Thank you. I needed some affirmation. It was good. I've had a rough week. Thank you. This is an extinction.
Starting point is 00:16:50 They're kicking the Coke machine. They know everybody's laughing at them. They're like, look at this idiot kicking the machine. It's not going to do anything. They're watching. They're screaming at a machine. It's a metal object. It's going to scream back.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Give me my damn Coke. Everybody loses their minds. This is what they don't care that they look like idiots, that they're screaming like children of Trump. They have called other Republican senators and presidents, racists and misogynists in the past to get them to not do something. And they've been rewarded with them not doing it. And Trump's doing it anyway.
Starting point is 00:17:20 He's like double barreled. You know, I never used the right finger because some kids are watching on Rumble, but double barreled. Sometimes I'm tempted. He doesn't care. He doesn't care. He doesn't care. Response, call Trump a racist. No reward.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Followed rapidly by an extinction burst of childlike behavior look it up I'm not messing with you this stuff is real you can see it in patterning on graphs animals
Starting point is 00:17:53 humans they all we work the same way the kicking the yelling the where's my coke it's a machine it's not going to answer
Starting point is 00:18:00 you do it anyway you kick it like it's going to go ow and give you your coke it's not going to do. You do it anyway. You kick it like it's going to go, ow, and give you your Coke. It's not going to do that, but you do it, right? Everybody's not in their head like, yeah, I've done that. Why do we slam an atom and objects? Like we're going to make them hurt and then do it. The mouse doesn't work. You slam it like it's going to go, oh, I'm sorry, I'm up. I'll do it. It's not going to do anything, but you do it anyway because it's an extinction
Starting point is 00:18:25 burst and they can't help it. And that's what you're watching right now to prove to you that the media, oh, I already proved to you they've thrown out their principles. A point, fill that seat with Trump. Don't fill that seat. But you just said fill that seat. Hey, we don't care about looking like idiots. It's Trump. It's an extinction burst. Roll with us, brother. I didn't get my Coke machine thing. You know, I'm going to yell at the machine. I want to place me. I want to get to my second spot.
Starting point is 00:18:50 We're loaded up today. But I'm going to, we're going to exit this segment about Trump, the disruptor, the third part of the Conan series with a video of the media losing their minds. Trump is definitely Hitler. Again, so absurd to be beyond belief, but again, they don't care. They're kicking the machine in an extinction burst. Let me get to my second spot.

There are no prizes. None. I don't care how convincing they are. I don't have any prize money to give you. If I did, I would.

Starting point is 00:21:34 We get them all the time. Hey, Dan, I'm here for my $20,000. You really think I'm giving you $20,000 because you replied to a Facebook post? I'm not that rich. We do okay. I'm not that rich. Here is the greatest extinction burst of all time.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Hat tip, Grabian, the great Tom Elliott. He has the best super cuts over there. Here is a super cut of the most hilarious media extinction burst I've seen in modern times. This is the greatest montage ever of Trump is definitely a fascist, and he's definitely, definitely Hitler too. Check this one out. This is a classic montage ever of Trump is definitely a fascist and he's definitely, definitely Hitler, too. Check this one out. It's a classic. Oh, my God. I don't know. We won't call them fascist comments. Fascist fascism. Fascist call fascism. Fascism is fascist. Fascist notions of fascism. Xenophobic, racist, demagogic, racist, sexist, xenophobic, autocratic, and fascistic.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Donald Trump is a fascist. Someone like a fascist, or a tyrant, or an autocrat. Fascist rhetoric. Fascist language. Fascists. I'm glad that you're starting talking about fascism. Hitler. Fascist rhetoric.
Starting point is 00:22:36 He's talking the way fascists talk. Autocratic. Fascist. Nazi Germany. Before the rise of Hitler. Fascist language. To Hitler. Fascist.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Hitler. Adolf Hitler. Hitler. Hitler. Hitler. We'll do Hitler. Hitler. Fascist language to Hitler. Fascist Hitler. Adolf Hitler. Hitler. Hitler. Hitler. Hitler. From what Adolf Hitler preached in the early 30s. This is hilarious.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Let's just say it once and for all. Folks, come on. That's... Tell me that's not hilarious for all the wrong reasons. Yeah. I'm serious. Godwin went out there. Paula wants that.
Starting point is 00:23:03 And she's doing... She's mixing... She's cutting wax on the one and twos. Remember back in the there. Paula wants that. And she's doing, she's mixing, she's cutting wax on the one and twos. Remember back in the day? Joe remembers records. Well, DJs back in the day, they called cutting wax.
Starting point is 00:23:12 You'd mix the one and two turntables. That was all electronic. Back in the day, they'd really scratch. We'd call them scratching. You know, you get on the turntable.

Cut that up that day maybe put in a little song morons idiots they're not even embarrassed and by the way the guy in the middle of that jason johnson is a total goof i was on a debate stage with him at politicon the guy about spy gate the guy didn't know his elbow from his caboose he didn't even know basic facts about the case. He was on a panel. It was embarrassing to watch.
Starting point is 00:24:48 He's like, I'm a professor from a college. Get a refund. Get a refund. Stat. Seriously. If you're in that college, demand a refund. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry somebody deigned you an intellectual.
Starting point is 00:25:02 You don't even know basic facts of the case. All right, moving on. Very excitable today, which is weird. Get a lot of energy. And maybe a bad, who knows? It could be a bad thing, good thing. Well, maybe we'll know next week. Maybe I've been like, there's a mutant gem,
Starting point is 00:25:15 like an X-Man now, like a Logan from the Logan. I took the injection and I'm like super Wolverine at the end. Remember, that's my favorite, Logan, of all the superhero movies, that's the only good one. Logan, that one's really good. Beginning when he whoops those guys' butts is pretty great. Love a little good butt kicking.
Starting point is 00:25:34 All right, let's get back to some dirt here. So I saw this story yesterday at the Washington Examiner, and I thought, oh, oh. So the Clinton Foundation's back. They're back again. What did we say about three years ago, Joe? It's all about Skolkovo, right?
Starting point is 00:25:53 Joe knows Skolkovo well. Oh, Skolkovo. Joe has heard so many shows about Skolkovo that Joe Skolkovo'd out. I'm going to Skolkovo back in again today. So John Durham, who is the special prosecutor appointed by the Department of Justice and Bill Barr to look into
Starting point is 00:26:07 Spygate, the scandal. Apparently, according to the great Jerry Dunleavy at the Washington Examiner, who's a good man, a good friend too, I might add. Sent me some nice words this week. He has his piece up at the Washington Examiner. It'll be in the show notes, which you should really check out. John Durham's reviewing
Starting point is 00:26:24 the FBI handling of the Clinton Foundation investigation. you should really check out. John Durham's reviewing the FBI handling of the Clinton Foundation investigation. Gosh, that's back. That's really strange. Now, caveat, because I read a lot of online boards and stuff like that when you guys talk and ladies talk about my show. I do it because I want the audience feedback.
Starting point is 00:26:39 It's not like an ego thing. I promise you, I want to make sure the show is, you know, fits your needs and wants. I've seen a few people on online boards. One of them was ar15.com. You guys are great. I read your stuff. I do.
Starting point is 00:26:52 I check in once in a while, not every time, but sometimes. And they were like, ah, she's always talking about, you know, bombshell arrests are coming.
Starting point is 00:26:59 I'm not saying any, you're listening to the wrong show. That's what I'm saying. I see that critique a lot. I have, Joe, have we not said, I have no idea what the Department of Justice
Starting point is 00:27:06 is going to do? They have let me down a million times. There could be no arrest from this. I'm simply telling you that sources are telling Jerry from the examiner who's as plugged in as anyone that Durham's looking at it. And I'm only here to tell you that there's a lot to look at.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Is something going to happen? I have no idea. I have been disappointed at every turn. But I'm not going to leave you dangling in the wind because the Department of Justice may let you down. I want you to know what the hell Durham's probably looking at with the Clinton Foundation and why the FBI just may have sort of mishandled it. I'm going to get to this article by John Solomon. It's an older one, but it's in the show notes today. But remember, these show notes have older articles
Starting point is 00:27:48 that are now new again, if you know what I mean. I believe the gist of what Durham may be looking at is, and I've got this on pretty decent authority, is how is it that the FBI opened up a case against Carter Page and spied on the Trump team because of it. Carter Page, a Trump campaign associate. When they had no information at all outside of the PP dossier, it was just a hoax, a myth that was made up by Steele.
Starting point is 00:28:19 How is it that the full force of the FBI landed on Carter Page and the Trump team? And yet with the Clinton Foundation, there were emails on a documented money trail of severe malfeasance, and yet nothing seems to happen. I'm getting from some birdies out there that those disparities and the choices that are made to forego one investigation, the Clinton Foundation investigation, despite mounds of evidence,
Starting point is 00:28:46 to investigate Carter Page and the Trump team despite no evidence at all, that that may have some people's antenna up. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Well, what could they be looking into? That's what I'm here for. John Solomon P. said to help. Paula laughed because I sent her four screenshots.
Starting point is 00:29:05 And what have I told you for the last three days? We never use four screenshots, except for the last three days where we've used four screenshots. She's like, you really need to stop telling the audience that. You're probably right. This one's great. It's an older piece in the show notes today by John Solomon. And I strongly encourage you to read it. Bill Clinton sought State Department permission to meet with Russian nuclear official during Obama uranium decision.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Wow. He did? That's weird. So again, Durham's looking into the Clinton Foundation, the FBI's handling of it. And I'll bet you he's looking at the fact that why with this evidence staring us in the face with the Clinton Foundation, Bill Clinton, uranium one and all this. Why did they not get a once over? Oh, you can't look into them. They're protected class joe what are they democrats we're not allowed to do that the media the media will call you a racist remember response reward response call them a racist reward
Starting point is 00:29:57 no clinton investigation i think dorms kind of like yeah yeah i don't really care about that you can extinction extinction burst all you like. But we're going to check this out, why you guys didn't investigate this, because the evidence is troubling. Let's go to the evidence. So here's screenshot number one of four, which Paula finds funny. We never use four screens, despite every show this week. So screenshot number one.
Starting point is 00:30:20 So Bill Clinton in 2010, as the Rosatom was looking to buy uranium in the United States, you know, nuclear fuel, that kind of stuff. Should we sell that to the Russians? Probably not. But whatevs, Bill Clinton doesn't seem to care. So Clinton prepared to collect a $500,000 payday in Moscow in 2010 as they were looking at this Uranium One deal. And he sought clearance from the State Department to meet with a key board director of the Russian
Starting point is 00:30:43 nuclear energy firm, Rosatom. He did, which at the time needed the Obama administration's approval for a controversial uranium deal government records show. So we have government records on this. That's really strange. This goes on. It gets even better. Remember this name too. Arkady Dvorkovich, a top aide to then Russianussian president dmitry medvedev and one of the highest ranking government officials to serve on rosatom's board of supervisors was listed on a may 14 2010 email you mean there's an email gosh that sounds like evidence i'm maybe i'm crazy as one of 15 russians bill clinton wanted to meet with during a late june 2010, the documents show. So Durham's looking into the Clinton Foundation.
Starting point is 00:31:30 What could he possibly be looking into? So Bill Clinton, in case the liberals, that's how the Clinton Foundation got it. Bill Clinton, Hillary, they may be thinking it's George Clinton, the singer. It's Bill Clinton. So the Clinton Foundation they may be looking into. Right in 2010, as Russians are looking to buy our uranium
Starting point is 00:31:46 do this company Rosatom in the United States probably not a good idea no I'm just throwing that out Joe Russians selling them our nuclear fuel
Starting point is 00:31:53 enemies the whole United States thing you know I saw Red Dawn Wolverines right I mean that's not the limit of my foreign policy experience Red Dawn
Starting point is 00:32:01 but we all kind of know like that's probably not a good idea Joe agrees with a thorough white paper analysis, and on page 22, he comes to the conclusion that, not good. Well said, Joe. Thank you, Dan.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Well said. You're welcome. So Bill Clinton, at the time they're getting ready to look at this deal to sell the Russians nuclear fuel, Bill Clinton takes a trip, or asks for permission to take a trip, I should say. Precision matters. Via email, so we know it's an actual piece of evidence, to be paid $500,000 to travel over there to meet with a guy, Arkady Dvorkovich, who sits on the board of the Russian company
Starting point is 00:32:41 looking to buy our uranium, as his wife is the State Department person who's one of the Russian company looking to buy our uranium. As his wife is the State Department person who's one of the people who's going to look at that deal. Sounds kind of weird, right? Sounds like if you replace that name with Donald Trump, Ivanko, or Melania Trump, that someone would be in prison right now. Now, you may say if you're a liberal, which means you probably don't say if you're a liberal,
Starting point is 00:33:06 which means you probably don't know what you're talking about. All right, Dan. So the husband of the Secretary of State, Bill Clinton, who runs the Clinton Foundation, was going to be paid half a million bucks to speak in Russia and emailed someone for permission to meet with a board member of a Russian company trying to buy our nuclear fuel
Starting point is 00:33:24 in a deal Mrs. Clinton was looking at. That sounds a little rough, I'll give you that, but it's not too bad. Oh, don't worry. As always, I have more. So who was Arkady Dvorkovich and why does this matter? Let's go to screenshot number two, the deuce on this one. So the first person Clinton wanted to meet with was Dvorkovich, chief deputy of the Russian president and one of the Russian nuclear power industry's cheerleaders. It's just unbelievable. He also sat on the supervisory board of Rosatom,
Starting point is 00:34:01 the state-owned atomic energy company that was in the midst of buying a Canadian uranium company called Uranium One. The deal required approval from CFIUS, it's a foreign investment committee, an intergovernmental panel represented by 14 departments and offices that approved transactions and investments by foreign companies for national security purposes. Approval meant that control of 20 percent, listen to this, approval meant that control of 20% of U.S. uranium production would be shifting to the Russian-owned Rosatom's control. So again, for the liberals who are having a hard time following this, who are still thinking, Trumpussia collusion uh really sounds like hunter biden russia collusion as we covered earlier in this week and this story we're covering today
Starting point is 00:34:49 sounds a whole lot like hillary clinton russian collusion what's she hiding her husband's meeting with the board member of a russian company trying to buy access to 20 of our uranium you, nuclear bombs and stuff. Sounds bad, right? Even the liberals are probably now like, yeah, I won't acknowledge it publicly. Won't change my vote because I just don't care. But yeah, that doesn't sound good.
Starting point is 00:35:21 Yeah, if that was the Trumps, you're right. They would definitely be guillotined by now. This can't possibly get worse. Oh, no, it does, because Bill Clinton didn't only want to meet with Dvorkovich from Rosatom, the board member. He wanted to meet with someone else, too. A blast from the past for you regular listeners. He wanted to meet with a guy named Victor Vexelberg, too. Who the heck is that?
Starting point is 00:35:41 What does that have to do with anything? It's all about Skolkovo. Let's go to screenshot number three, the trifecta. The second person on the list of people Clinton wanted to meet with that caught the attention of our officials, he was Russian businessman Viktor Vekselberg. Who the hell is that? Two days after Hillary Clinton's visit to Russia, Vekselberg was named by Medvedev, the Russian president, to oversee a new technology investment project called Skolkovo.
Starting point is 00:36:08 There you go, that crazy Skolkovo. Designed to be Russia's new Silicon Valley, according to media reports. Hillary Clinton had directly discussed the Skolkovo project with Medvedev, and her State Department was whipping up support for it amongst U.S. companies. They were? Hillary Clinton's whipping up support for a Russian Silicon Valley type project? What the hell? Creating the potential appearance for a conflict. She even attended a major event with the Russians in 2010 to promote the Skolkovo project.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Oh, boy. So her husband's meeting with the uranium company board member trying to buy access to our nuclear fuel gosh that sounds really bad looks like he's getting paid the meeting didn't happen by the way but he's emailing people asking for permission for it just to be clear that's a called evidence in some limited circles of people on the liberal side who understand clues getting paid 500k that's nice money i'll take that could use that right now. He also wants to meet with one of the executives in charge of the Skolkovo project. A project being pushed by Hillary Clinton in Russia, not here.
Starting point is 00:37:20 Why would she be doing that? I'll get back to Skolkovo in a minute and why Bill might have want to met with this Skolkovo executive. But one more from the Solomon piece. Because you may say, now this is starting to sound really, really bad. Oh, it gets worse.
Starting point is 00:37:37 It always does. Last screenshot from the Solomon piece. Worth your time. A third issue that emerged was the speaking fee. It was being paid by Renaissance Capital, a Russian bank, that paid the $500,000 fee to the former president for his 90-minute June 29, 2010 speech. One of the largest one-day fees Bill Clinton ever earned.
Starting point is 00:37:59 That's a lot of dinero for 90 minutes. That's not minimum wage. Renaissance Capital had ties with the Kremlin, oh my gosh, and was talking up the uranium one purchase in 2010, giving it encouraging investment ratings in Russia right at the time the US was considering approval of the uranium one sale, according to reports in the New York Times in 2015. 2015. Wait, wait, wait. Come on. So Clinton's getting paid 500K to speak in Russia while his wife is looking at a deal for the Russians to buy our nuclear fuel, being paid 500K by a bank involved in the investment, in grading the investment to buy the nuclear fuel and talking
Starting point is 00:38:42 up the deal. And he's also asking to meet with a guy who's an executive on a Silicon Valley project called Skolkovo that his wife is talking up. And the members of that team made donations to the Clinton Foundation. Oh, I haven't even gotten to that yet. This story gets more delicious by the minute. I'm just giving some guide markers for people out there wondering why John Durham would be looking into the Clinton Foundation. Gee, I don't know. Maybe the mounds of evidence that there could have been potential
Starting point is 00:39:08 bribes here. Before I get to that, let me get to my third sponsor, and then we'll talk about why Skolkovo is a really big deal.

So back to Skolkovo, Bill Clinton, speaking fees, meetings with Russian executives trying to buy our uranium,
Starting point is 00:41:06 you know, the whole nuclear fuel thing, weird, while his wife is secretary of state. Sounds like a criminal case to me you'd want to look into. Oh no, they seem to get a full pass. Maybe not so much anymore. Why was this guy Bill Clinton was meeting with, this Skolkovo executive, this Silicon Valley project in Russia, why was this such a big deal? Well, let me go back to an article. It'll be in the show notes again today because it's worth your time. It's an older one. I've used it often on the show, but it's a must read. It's by Diana West, who is a friend of mine. Brilliant. She wrote
Starting point is 00:41:41 a piece of the Daily Caller a while ago, and it's a piece you really, really need to see. Why Bill Clinton meeting with Skolkovo executives while Hillary's pushing Skolkovo is a big, big problem. The article by Diana West is called Hillary's Hypersonic Missile Gap. It's from 2017. There are two huge takeaways from this article. Number one, a lot of American companies were being aggressively pushed, shall we say,
Starting point is 00:42:10 shall we say, to join the Skolkovo project in Russia. A lot of those companies were conveniently donors to the Clinton Foundation too. Weird. You know, Clinton after Bill and Hillary, not George Clinton. Let's go to screenshot one from Diana's piece. This is one of those pieces you should print and keep in your desk because it comes up on this show
Starting point is 00:42:32 about every four or five months. About the companies. Quote, so the Washington Examiner a while ago found some emails reporting that on the Hillary and Bill Clinton Foundation. They're Hillary State Department, Bill Clinton, and and vexelberg here's what they found they found that 17 out of 28 tech companies that hitched up with skolkovo also contributed to the clinton foundation wow weird isn't it what a coincidence meanwhile barack obama's support for russian wto membership made the whole
Starting point is 00:43:05 global flow so i'm out of money so much easier don't lose me here i know sometimes the show can be a little repetitive but i do it for a reason because i don't want you to miss these facts tell them what you tell them tell them what you're going to tell them tell them and tell them what you told them what there we go paula's got, boy, you got that still? She even put a chart, rumble.com slash Bongina. If you want to see the video, Vexelberg,
Starting point is 00:43:30 Clinton foundation, Hillary Clinton, Clinton foundation, Skolkovo project, Vexelberg, arrows going everywhere. This is big because the people involved with Vexelberg and the Skolkovo foundation were donating to the Clinton foundation and Hillary Clinton was
Starting point is 00:43:44 pushing them to donate to the clinton clinton found that well the clintons were pushing them to donate to the clinton foundation as they're getting involved 17 of the 28 companies with this russian project sounds like a conflict of interest no it doesn't end there you may say say, ah, that sounds bad, but not too bad. Okay, fair enough. You make your own judgments. This is devastating. Screenshot number two. What the hell's Bill Clinton
Starting point is 00:44:12 and Hillary Clinton pushing the Skolkovo project when in 2012, the United States Army put out this. This is a quote from the Army, not Bongino.com or the Daily Caller, but the quote's in the piece. Uongino.com or the daily caller but the quotes in the piece
Starting point is 00:44:25 our u.s army circuit 2012 quote skolkovo is an ambitious enterprise aiming to promote technology transfer generally by inbound direct investment and occasionally through selected acquisitions as such listen skolkovo is arguably an overt alternative to clandestine industrial espionage, with the additional distinction that it can achieve such a transfer on a much larger scale and more efficiently. Ladies and gentlemen, does the headline of this article make more sense now? it's believed by some in our military intelligence community that the project Hillary Clinton was promoting in Russia, Skolkovo, where companies were being encouraged to go over there while donating to the Clinton Foundation, and while Bill Clinton was trying to meet with an executive
Starting point is 00:45:14 on the Skolkovo board over there, that that project was an espionage effort to steal our technology to create hypersonic missiles to kill us. It's not a conspiracy theory. It's not some lunatic fringe thing someone found in the bowels of the internet. It's an army report from 2012 about the potential theft on a mass scale
Starting point is 00:45:41 of industrial technology to steal it to create military equipment in Russia, to kill us while Bill Clinton's trying to meet with an executive on the project and Hillary's in turn pushing the project. It's real, folks. It happened. It's real. All right. I've got a couple more videos showing up. I've got the greatest video of the week. I'm going to leave you on a positive note.
Starting point is 00:46:10 I'm a UFC fighter who just drops the hammer. I've also got video of Joe Biden. Again, it gives me no pleasure in doing this, folks. The man is running for president. You need to see it. Again, losing it completely in the middle of a... And doing his trick. What's his trick, Joe? He either says, come on, man, I'm talking too much or I've taken too much. That's his trick
Starting point is 00:46:30 when he loses it. I'm going to play this video in a minute. I got one more sponsor. I appreciate your patience. There's always good companies like to be here on the show.

He can't function, folks, in a normal environment, in a back and forth dialogue without the aid of devices,
Starting point is 00:48:21 prompters, cues. He can't. I don't believe he's even in the early stages of this. I believe he's in the mid to potentially late stage of this. More evidence, which you deserve to see before the election, not after when you find out the president can't function if he, God forbid, he's elected. Here's a cut we got of Joe Biden. He's given a little kind of impromptu back and forth. And he does the trick again in the middle of this, where he loses himself and says, Hey, I'm talking too much.
Starting point is 00:48:52 By the way, what he's saying, I don't want to say he loses himself because what he's saying doesn't make sense anyway. Even before he corrects what he was trying to say. I don't know what he said. If you're a quartermaster, you can work in the ladies department and it is just listen for yourself. even before he corrects what he was trying to say. I don't know what he's saying. If you're a quartermaster,
Starting point is 00:49:07 you can work in the ladies department and just listen for yourself how bad of shape this guy's in. The majority of leaders are in a spot that he can't, I'm talking too much. As you provide the kind of help that knows, teach people how to know how to know, they may not know because if you could take care,
Starting point is 00:49:25 if you were a quartermaster, you can sure in hell take care of running a, you know, department store thing, you know, or on the second floor of the ladies' department, you know what I mean? And so one of the things that, and by the way, this whole notion of dealing with the idea that, you know, look, but explicitly is the more helpful. By the way, you know, they may say they want to go and, I don't know, do whatever, but it may be their skill that they acquired in the military may not in any way enhance that peace. Am I making sense?
Starting point is 00:50:06 Even Paul is in the back like, no, you're not. If you need the video of that, it's helpful because it has a live time transcription of what he said, because it makes no sense. Even transcribe, go to rumble.com slash Bongino, watch the video yourself. Again, it's not funny. The guy's running for president. That's, it's not funny. The guy's running for president. That's what's really not funny. He can't speak.
Starting point is 00:50:31 What was that? If I'm the quartermaster, you can work with the ladies in the department and I don't even know what that was. Am I making sense? No, you're not. Okay. know what that was am i making sense no you're not that okay did you just click that kobe cut was that you okay thank you you can leave that in leave it in because we don't oh oh it's not in the show but leave this part just click the kobe covington. There you go. A little teaser for what's coming next. He's losing it, folks.
Starting point is 00:51:05 He's losing it. He's running for president. Please. Whereas they mentioned the 25th Amendment in a scandal for Donald Trump, who has shown no cognitive impairment at all. You understand within moments of this guy's victory, if he wins Joe Biden, the 25th Amendment, which provides a mechanism for removing an impaired president from office?
Starting point is 00:51:28 Do you understand how serious of a conversation this will become? You think we're in a constitutional crisis now because you're a liberal lunatic? Wait till Joe Biden wins. All right. Two more quick things. I'm going to run because I got a busy day today. I'll get back to you on Monday with the deets, if you know what I mean.
Starting point is 00:51:47 If you listen all week, you know exactly what I'm talking about. We don't need to keep bringing that up. Here's a video Paula just kind of teased in my ear. She said it wasn't in the show, so whatever. But it was a tease for me. I've been holding this all week. A UFC fighter who I adore, Colby Covington, who's just great. He's a fantastic fighter, too.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Great ground game, great stand-up game, takedowns, very complete fighter. I think by the way, my jujitsu days are over sadly, which will make my wife happy. But this is kind of a big scare for me recently. I've had, I've got a lot of damage over the years. Colby was given a, after a fight, the UFC fight was given an interview
Starting point is 00:52:21 and let's just leave it to go. He just lays the hammer down. This is absolutely terrific. Check this out. John Anik, let me start off by saying you've been doing a tremendous job lately. You've been working so hard tonight. So let me take this off your hands for a minute. Ladies and gentlemen, the silent majority is ready to make some noise. If you thought that was a beating, wait till November 3rd when Donald Trump gets his hands on Sleepy Joe. That's going to be a landslide. And I want to dedicate this fight to all the first responders,
Starting point is 00:52:54 all the military out there. You know, this world would not be safe without you guys. You know, you keep us safe. And, you know, not these woke athletes, man. I'm sick of these woke athletes and these spineless cowards like lebron james i love this guy he's my new hero and and joe here's like here's the problem like lebron and all these other fake woke athletes um who don't have any you know
Starting point is 00:53:19 principles they pretend they do but they don't they'll change lebron james won't say anything about china black lives matter what about black lives in China, LeBron? They got a lot of money over there, fellas. Don't mention anything about that. He don't care about any of that crap. What's LeBron going to do? Hey, Colby, shut your mouth or I'll take you outside of the woodshed. Good luck with that, amigo.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Good luck. Not much you can do about that. I love this guy. Draped in the American flag. And it's nothing like the beating. You're love this guy, draped in the American flag. And it's nothing like the beating. You're going to get the sleepy Joe in the election. I've been holding out all week,
Starting point is 00:53:51 shamefully, shamefully. I should have put it out right away. All right, one last story and I got to run, but I got to fit this in. I want to hold it over to Monday because you've been lied to about the California wildfires.
Starting point is 00:54:01 They're obviously tragic, destructive. But the media, of course, is eager to make every tragedy a political narrative instead of just addressing it as the tragedy it is. Like I told you on yesterday's show, the media is lying to you about Breonna Taylor and what happened to her, a tragedy. They're also lying to you about the destruction of the wildfires because they feel they can leverage it for political advantage. The problem is the media, just like, you like how I tie this in? Just like in the beginning of the show is forgetting or doesn't care what they wrote
Starting point is 00:54:29 about wildfires in California just a little bit ago. Let's go to this tweet by an account called Being Libertarian. No, no, that's, oh, no, Washington. No, that's next. We'll do that next. I got the wrong order there. Tweet by Being Libertarian. This is a great one.
Starting point is 00:54:42 And I check these headlines. They're real. I always do it just to make sure I'm not being like Adobe Photoshop to death. So being libertarian as I think, dude, here's the New York Times in January. Headline. It's a real headline. You can look it up yourself. California today, 100 million dead trees prompt fears of giant wildfires.
Starting point is 00:55:03 That was January. So hold that up for a minute. Hold on. Just to be clear. So just to be clear, Joe, in January, the New York Times is very concerned about a hundred million dead trees in California
Starting point is 00:55:13 that it could result in a wildfire. That's right. Now November comes before an election. This is the same New York Times. It's not the New York Drimes or the New York Limes. It's the New York Times. Trump's misleading claims about California's fire mismanagement. So when Trump brings up that there are 100 million dead trees in California
Starting point is 00:55:38 that are causing a dangerous fire condition, we're seeing now, that's misleading claims. But when they write the same thing in January, they're the paper of record. Again, back to the beginning. Extinction Burst. They just don't care. They don't care that people like this guy being libertarian on Twitter are just going to go out and find this stuff and go, you guys are morons. You just wrote about what Trump said. No, no, we were lying back then.
Starting point is 00:56:10 No, no, no, we were lying, but we're lying. Which one of you, I don't know who we're lying. We don't really care, it's Trump. Great piece by the Washington Examiner. This is in yesterday's show notes again, but these are good articles. I need you to read this. Washington Examiner staff,
Starting point is 00:56:23 don't fall for simplistic claims about wildfires and global warming. Again, the fires are happening. It's a real tragedy in live time. The media has decided to make this about Trump and global warming. They're not related from the examiner piece. But what exactly does any of this mean? Is it valid to look at one or two years of fire data and jump to the conclusion that these fires must be global warming wreaking havoc? By that logic, we would be forced
Starting point is 00:56:50 by the rules of deductive logic to conclude that global warming took a break during the recent nadir of California wildfires when in 2010, only 134,000 acres burned and only 228,000 acres were burned in 2011. It all seems rather silly. So just to be clear, the media lunatics argument now, because again, they feel there's a political narrative here that Joe, it had nothing to do with 100 million dead trees. This is definitely global warming. Whatevs. They're saying more acreage is burned this year in a long time. Well, that's strange because just in 2010 and 2011, it actually reached the trough.
Starting point is 00:57:29 So as they say in the piece, did global warming take a break, took a vacation, a long weekend? What happened? Well, nothing happened. Just making it up is what happened. Let's go to screenshot number two because if global warming was the culprit, Joe,'s the term before warming and global warming this is not a trick question global right yes global okay is the term california warming this again i need you as a no have you heard that ever global warming okay you're as confused as i am so it's global meaning it would be happening around the globe right warming all that global warming global warming. Yeah, right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:06 Got a blue from space. So that would be kind of weird how global warming was only happening in California then, right? Causing these wildfires. So the Washington Examiner looked into that and said the assertion of a causal effect between global warming and the wildfires becomes even more ridiculous
Starting point is 00:58:20 when one looks beyond the isolated situation of California. On a national scale, that means the United States for the liberals. Wildfire activity this year is not especially impressive at all compared to the recent past, let alone the far more fiery era prior to the modern fire suppression tactics. At roughly 4.7 million acres, the extent of this year's national burn lags the 10-year year-to-year average by more than 20%.
Starting point is 00:58:43 Unless one is content contend that global warming is only affecting one or two states and not all the other fire-prone states as well, all assertions of causality seem misplaced. You know, folks, data and stuff. Like, in other words, if these wildfires were due to global warming, why are we not seeing it around the globe?
Starting point is 00:59:04 As Joe said accurately, the blue thing, you know, blue, a little bit of brown from space. You've seen that. Why are they only happening in California, which is, according to the New York Times, mismanaged its 100 million dead trees? Oh, I don't know. Maybe because it's the 100 million dead trees
Starting point is 00:59:20 and hot weather, fire, spark. I'm just throwing that out there. It's like a paraphernalia theory. Oh, okay. Well, take it up with the New York Times. This is what I do. I spend my whole life debunking liberal stupidity. That was the whole reason this show started.
