Let's go. All right. Nice. Okay. Numero uno before I get to Cuomo and the gun control narrative being lost and liberal language police. There was a court ruling yesterday. You probably haven't heard a lot about because it's only been covered again by people who've been doing their hallmark on the entire kind of spy gate jim comey jim clapper um deep state conspiracy thing what happened yesterday i want to hat tip my buddy techno fog again at techno i think underscore fog on twitter who's great uh puts out legal documents analyzes them uh and i saw yesterday i was busy yesterday i'm in the midst of reading

my audio book which i love i love reading my audio book it's the greatest thing ever yeah it's enjoyable i love it i'm reading it now don't want to interrupt for uh for audible no i'm not kidding i really do i like it um i'm reading it now because this book tells like kind of a narrative so last night i was kind of stacked but I saw this break on Twitter and this is really cool. So there was a court ruling yesterday by this judge, the Archie declarations, Joe. I'm not talking about Archie like the comics. The Archie declarations are now going to become public unredacted.

You're like, what the heck are the Archie declarations? Why does this matter? Why are we even talking about this with everything going on? Because ladies and gentlemen, this is a big break, a huge break. Here's what happened. What are the Archie declarations first? And why was the FBI and the DOJ trying to keep them secret and hidden? Yeah.

The Archie declarations are, Archie's the name of an FBI agent who filed these declarations. These declarations are a set of kind of memos that are reasons, and Joe, please track me if you don't get this. Stand by. They're reasons that the FBI and the DOJ wants to keep the Jim Comey memos secret.

So they're in essence memos about the Comey memos and they lay out why the Comey memos should be secret, which if you're putting two and two together, lay out what's in the Comey memos too. In other words, we don't want to expose the Comey memos to the public because they say this, this, and this, and this. You dig? Yeah. Now, this is bad for the FBI.

So the Bureau and the DOJ said, no, no, no. We want these Archie declarations named after this FBI agent who wrote them, this FBI official. We want those secret, too. The judge said, you're out of here. No dice. The Archie declarations are coming out unredacted. Here, hat tip Techn tip techno fog again on twitter here's a screenshot of the declaration with a big denied stamp denied now you'll notice

at the top something interesting in this lawsuit the lawsuit against the fbi to expose these archie declarations was filed by who yeah cable news network inc News Network, Inc. Who's that, Joe? I'd say, yeah. CNN. Yes, it is. Yes, you would be right. I'm sorry. I interrupted you in the middle of answering the question.

That's quite all right, Dan. People hate when I do that. People love you, Joe. They get upset. I should never interrupt Joe. He's a vital portion of the program. If you're watching, they do. You have a lot of supporters out there.

If you're watching on YouTube.com slash Bongino, you can see it. You can read it. It just basically says your application is denied with a big red denied on the front of it. Now, these are, yes. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Now, what does this really mean? Because again, anybody can come out and cover this.

All right. So what? There's declarations about the Comey memos. Folks, we should be asking some big questions right now. You know, we've only been told about, what, about seven, seven to nine or so Jim Comey memos that he wrote when he met with President Donald Trump. Remember those memos, Joe? He goes, Comey went to meet with Trump, went into the car, and like the snake he is, yeah, yeah, started

typing everything up on a computer. Now, we've been told about, again, what, seven to nine memos or so he wrote. The real question now, what a lot of people are starting to kind of put out there and, you know, seed the field with is,

well, how many memos are there? Are we sure there are just Comey memos about his meetings with Donald Trump? Because folks, a lot of people are speculating there's a series of Jim Comey memos that these Archie declarations are trying to hide that may be a little more in-depth and lengthy and may predate the Trump administration.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, why would that matter? Can you imagine? Let me ask you to just entertain this possibility for a moment here. Can you imagine if Jim Comey was actually in the practice of writing memos predating his time with Donald Trump and of course Comey who's always in CYA mode cover your you get the rest caboose well that starts with a C but there is an A after the C can you imagine if Comey Joe was writing a series of memos during his time working the Spygate case, covering his butt that may implicate his now arch nemesis, John Brennan and others. Yeah.

Remember what I told you, ladies and gentlemen, a long time ago on the show. Sooner or later, there is going to be clarity on who exactly was pushing the dossier. I've already told you my theory and the Steele information. I believe, again, as I cover in my soon-to-be-released book, Exonerated, I was reading this part last night, which was good. It's good to read your book because you're reminded. I wrote it a while ago and we had to update it, so it was good to be reminded. In the book, I talk about this parallel construction scheme, which this was from the start, where

I believe John Brennan, the Central Intelligence Agency, along with foreign intelligence partners, about this parallel construction scheme which just was from the start where i believe john brennan the central intelligence agency along with foreign intelligence partners was using steel's information but was feeding it to the fbi and hiding exactly where it came from why joe so when the fbi later got the same information from steel it looked like it was verified does that make sense yeah why parallel parallel construction scheme because the the cia doesn't have law enforcement powers they run it parallel not perpendicular right so the cia had a and the fbi the cia had to get the fbi to reconstruct the information from apparently legitimate sources. So what better person to get it from than Steele, who'd worked with the FBI before?

So the CIA goes to the FBI. Comey goes, excuse me, Brennan goes to Comey and he says, hey, we got this information. Carter Page is working for the Trump team. He's working with the Russians. He's a he's a spy. This is really bad. Brennan goes to Harry Reid. Hey, tell comey to open up a case but they never tell them that this information comes from steel and fusion so then all of a sudden the hillary team and others start pushing the fbi remember

the dnc lawyer sussman who starts communications with baker from the FBI and passes this information. Hey, we got this guy Steele with this information about Carter Page. Oh my gosh. We already heard that from the CIA. This is crazy. It must be true. Okay. It's the same info. Now, going back to the Archie declarations, why this matters.

Excuse me. Itchy nose. me and she knows if Comey has a series of memos Joe documenting his communications with Brennan and others those would be absolutely damning to show exactly what this parallel construction scheme meant was Comey did Comey know was the information source hidden from comey by brennan the point is these archie declarations i believe are coming are covering up a series of memos far far more than just his communications with donald trump now we're gonna see him folks it's all coming out at once everything it's like a fire hose now. You got the OR302s. You got these RG declarations now. There is going to be sunlight.

Again, is there going to be accountability? I had a guy email me yesterday. I understand. I get your emails. I'm tired of it, Dan. Nothing's going to happen. Listen, I am with you. Amen, my brother. I am totally with you. But us not covering it contributes to the problem. Yes.

All we can hope, right? I mean, that doesn't Oh, so let's just let it all go away. No, I'm not letting it contributes to the problem. Yes. All we can hope, right? I mean, that doesn't, oh, so let's just let it all go away. No, I'm not letting it go away ever. I'm sorry. Good hit. It's the biggest scandal in human history, Joe. And I'm not just going to stop talking about it because swamp rat, filthy bureaucrats in D.C. don't want to do a damn thing and want to cover their butts.

No, I'm not letting it go away ever. One day, people hopefully will look back and watch these episodes and watch Hannity on Fox and listen to Levin on radio and go, gosh, you know what? They were right. We really should have looked into this. Hopefully there will be accountability. I don't want

to preclude that or close that door. I'm just suggesting I'm not stopping. No, absolutely not. I talk about it when news breaks. We don't talk about it when it don't. Whoop-de-doo, Edith. Whoop-de-doo. Remember Archie? Darn right, man.

Yeah, of course. I like to watch that show all the time. That was actually the beginning of Archie's All in the Family, the beginning where they show the row homes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was filmed in my neighborhood in Glendale. Oh, is that right? Yeah, that's the row homes in upper Glendale.

Yes, Archie Bunker always had a connection to Glendale from that. Whoop-de Yeah, that's the row homes in Upper Glendale. Yes, Archie Bunker always had a connection to Glendale from that. Whoop-de-doo, ain't it? Whoop-de-doo. He died, Carroll O'Connor, right? I think he did, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think so. Folks, all right, moving on, because this is important, too, on this same topic. Before I get to it, there's a bunch of other stuff going on, really packed

news, and that's why I started out the show like that. So, I've been picking through the OR302s i don't want to swamp you with it all at one time um there's another tidbit i want to hat tip chuck ross who put this on his twitter feed and he's right um i caught this the other day too going through them and i was glad to see him this morning it reminded me to talk about this this is a screenshot from uh chuck ross at the daily caller dude who who does great work, his Twitter feed. Here's another smoking gun from the Orr 302s. Again, Bruce Orr is a DOJ official.

These 302s are summaries of his interview with the FBI. Orr is working with Christopher Steele after Steele's already been terminated by the FBI. In other words, the source was never terminated by the FBI. They were still using them. It's a whole big information laundering scheme. But here's the R302s that we saw. Check this out.

This is an interesting one. He says, this is from the 302s, or advised Kathleen Kavalec from the State Department would be meeting with redacted representatives in order to discuss potential Russian influence in their upcoming presidential elections. So basically, Bruce Ohr is saying that Kavalec from the State Department, who was meeting with Steele, was meeting with some other representatives from a country that's redacted or a place

that's redacted in order to discuss Russian influence in the presidential elections. But that's not the kicker. I mean, that's interesting enough why they redacted that. But this redaction is really, really suspicious. They redacted that. Okay. But this redaction is really, really suspicious. Or reminded the interviewing agents that Kavalec did speak with Steele several times prior to the 2016 U.S. presidential election. And believes Steele's reporting to have generated from mainly...

Redacted. What? Huh? redacted. What? So just to be clear, Kavalec from the State Department, we know met with Steele. We know Kavalec did not believe Steele was credible. Why is this important?

Because Kavalec works for the State Department. Why she was interviewing Steele, who's allegedly got this intel and not the CIA or others, is bizarre. Again, I believe it was done to flood the zone. Steele wanted to pass this information to everyone, the CIA, Hillary Clinton, the DNC, the FBI, to make that information appear more legitimate because it was coming from multiple sources. David Kramer at the McCain Institute. But this is fascinating because it's a Department of Justice official acknowledging that before the election, Kavalec met with Steele.

We know Kavalec didn't think Steele was credible. She checked his information. She found it to be largely wrong. Remember, Steele told her they're doing this whole thing out of the Russian consulate in Miami. There is no Russian consulate in Miami. She checks travel records

and suggests it doesn't marry up with Steele's story about these people traveling. She also acknowledges that Steele said his sources were Russians, Trebnikov and Surkov, two Russians close to Putin. I thought we were looking at collusion. But now Orr at the DOJ is aware of this too,

this Kavalec meeting, and says can you put that up again? That Steele got his information mainly from redacted. Now, may I suggest to you that what's behind that redaction may be something to the effect of that Steele got his information mainly from online sources or not credible sources? Now, why does that matter? That matters because again, we're acknowledging not only Kavalec thinks Steele's not credible, but Orr knows Kavalec thinks Steele's not credible, and they thought Steele wasn't credible before they swore the FISA warrant was true

using Steele's information ladies and gentlemen again in some circles we would call this a problem i must call it a clue that we we enjoy to use that all the time in some limited circles we would call that a clue yes but what's the problem here yeah Let's say that redaction and what's underneath that redaction isn't online sources. Say it's something like mainly from foreign intelligence operatives in London or whatever. Either way, ladies and gentlemen, we got a problem. Number one, if it mentions foreign intel, then you know the State Department was involved in an intelligence laundering scheme from foreign intelligence sources to launder it into the DOJ, which already knew about it because Orr said it. Or secondly, if that says something like online or not credible sources, number one, the redaction's illegitimate.

That's not national security. Remember, that's supposed to be the reason for these redactions. And number two, it's clearly redacted to avoid the egg on the face of the FBI acknowledging they swore to a warrant that the DOJ already knew was based on shoddy information. Folks, this stuff is devastating. And no,

I'm not letting it go. Oh, you know what? I forgot to thank you at the beginning of the show, too. I gotta move on anyway. But so that's the takeaway. The Bureau's either hiding egg on the face that Kavalec or the State Department and the DOJ knew this guy's sources were crap.

Or secondly, they're hiding a foreign intelligence laundering scheme. Either way, they're all in trouble when those redactions are unredacted. Big time. Hey, a big thank um, thank you. I should have done this at the beginning of the show. I deeply appreciate all your support, by the way.

Um, I ask you all when I'm on Fox hosting to please tune in and you are the best audience in the world. I mean it, uh, Joe and I, and Paul, I, I adore you all your emails, the stuff you send the Jane gavel. Um, what is it? Jose, the penalty flags. You all are just really terrific. It's such an interactive experience, even though we don't take calls. But I asked you to tune into The Five and Hannity on Friday

where I was guest hosting and co-hosting both of those shows. And here's the ratings for the day. Look, we were number one on Hannity, 2.5 million. And this is hat tip, by the way, at RoadMN, my favorite Twitter account. He tracks all the ratings. Hat tip to him. This is his spreadsheet. And we were number three for the five with a staggering 2.196, which is excellent. Just to show you, it matters, folks. You all are the best audience out there. And I really, really thank you. I watch these numbers like a hawk because this is the business. If people like you, they tune in. If they don't, they don't. So thank you very much.

It's not like a, hey, look at me. It's a, hey, look at you. You all are doing the watching. I will be guest hosting Fox and Friends, by the way, on Friday. So please check that out as well. I'll be there from six to nine, obviously doing my thing this Friday coming up on Fox and Friends. So thank you again very much. All right, I got to move on. I've got a quick story coming up about our, I say quick because it's easy to understand. We have a really tragic, catastrophic debt situation on our hands. And I'm sorry, it doesn't matter who's in office or not.

It's certainly not the president's only issue. I mean, it doesn't only involve him, but the debt situation has become catastrophic. So I'll get to that quickly. Our next sponsor, listen, we love our sponsors. They're happy to be here So I'll get to that quickly. Our next sponsor. Listen, we love our sponsors. They're happy to be here.

I think the president overall is doing a pretty good job, and he's dealing with a lot of headwinds. But, folks, again, I'm not here to play golden calf to anybody. We got a spending problem, folks, and it's a bad one. And us saying, well, you know, we generate a lot of debt under Obama and Bush, and then pretending it's all going to go away in this administration is just absolutely foolish and ridiculous.

Look at this article by CNS News. Folks, Terrence Jeffrey, who does really amazing work on this. I have this up at the show notes, by the way, Bongino.com. Subscribe to my email list. I'll send it to you. Listen to this number. You know, the fiscal year, it runs till, what is it, October 1st. It doesn't run during the chronological calendar year, right?

So we're two months from the end of the fiscal year. We have spent $3,727,014,000,000 through July. Holy. $14 million through July. Holy. The Treasury is now running an $866,817,000,000 deficit. Folks, I want you to ponder that for a moment. Because, you know, we tend to forget, based on the enormity and the other worldliness of these numbers really they're so big

and disturbing that they almost don't make sense they're almost not real as if there's never going to be a consequence to this you know i i had um dinner with my uh couple of um a couple of my brother i only have two brothers a couple of my brothers i have a stepsister too, who's great. But one of my brothers was genuinely surprised when I said to him that I'm terrified about the economy. Folks, I am. And you should be too. We are accumulating a staggering amount of debt. Remember, the biggest deficits yearly,

remember the deficit and debt difference. Debt is our accumulated deficits over time remember the deficit and debt difference. Debt is our accumulated deficits over time, what we owe in total. Our deficit is the annual shortfall. The annual shortfall this year, we are on pace to close in and be darn close to the biggest deficits we've ever had in the country's history,

which were in the Obama years. Now, to be candid and clear, I'm not blaming this all on President Trump. Clearly, clearly he's dealing with a Congress and a bunch of rhinos, horrible Democrats and radical liberals who don't give a damn about the spending apocalypse coming our way. But he does have a leadership role in this. And ladies and gentlemen, this is just entirely unacceptable. And we would be complete hypocrites to ignore this. Folks, at some point, all, remember the great Milton Friedman line was, all debts are paid.

They're either paid by the debtor or the creditor. All debts are paid. There is no debt that magically disappears. debtor or the creditor. All debts are paid. Yep. There is no debt that magically disappears. If you were the debtor,

you took on debt, I take a loan from Joe, and I pay it back, then yes, the debtor paid it. If I take a loan from Joe, and I don't pay it back, that debt was paid too by Joe. He gave me the money,

and he paid it. He never got paid back. All debts are paid. All of them. meaning we owe people what is it we're 22 trillion dollars now so far 866 billion this year we owe people this money now what happens when you don't pay people back now i heard a theory from a a leftist who argues with me on my email, and that's okay. Listen, I don't mind that. I only mind the insults.

Like, if you want to, I'll happily engage with you on email. Just, you know, you're like, hey, you're a jerk. I usually just delete that stuff, but some people are cool about it. And his theory is, well, who's going to make us pay it back? Folks, a lot of this we owe, we owe to Americans, our own people. And by the way, suggesting that, oh, you know what? Because the Chinese lent us, they have about a trillion in U.S. denominated assets. You know, we're not going to pay them back is fair either.

It's kind of a snake move, isn't it? Yeah. I mean, so what? I mean, you have people in China, not everybody's an evil communist. You have people that lent us money. The fair thing to do is to pay people back. You may say, well, screw them. I don't care.

No, no, don't screw them. Because business and economics doesn't take the screw them approach. What happens then, folks? We become high risk. Right. People won't lend us money at reasonable interest rates. You'll have to be borrowing from, remember that guy in, who was the Rocky one? Remember Rocky?

He was the enforcer. I was told to break your thumbs. You didn't pay back. Who is it? Tony? The street guy? You got to start, you're going to have to lend money at extraordinary interest rates because nobody's going to pay it back.

Folks, those interest rates filter down to the economy to you. Ultimately, Americans pay. All debts are paid. Now, what's, okay, great. There's a problem. What's the solution? Obviously, some spending control, number one. Reinforce the spending caps and reauthorize the BCA spending caps and get a hold on this.

and reauthorize the BCA spending caps and get a hold on this. Reform entitlements, Social Security, and Medicare, that's destroying us. We spent, what is it, a million in HHS? I mean, excuse me, a trillion in HHS. I'm losing track of the money myself. 900 billion in Social Security. They have to be reformed. We're going broke.

But folks, I was watching an interesting show last night with my with my wife the history channel has this fascinating series you know foods that built america or whatever um and it's a history of the food industry and i know it sounds boring it wasn't it's fascinating my wife and i were like gosh let's tape the next one talking about cw post and uh kellogg uh hershey all these, how they built these monstrous businesses. And one of the fascinating stories there was about how Marjorie Merriweather Post, when C.W. Post, her father, killed himself, that Marjorie Post, who took over the company, was very entrepreneurial and went out and scooped up businesses early, log cabin syrup and others, and made General Foods,

this massive multi-billion dollar conglomerate but one of the things was marjorie post had an eye for business and one of the businesses she bought which was fascinating was bird's eye you know frozen vegetables bird's eye and how the guy who invented bird's eye was at clarence bird's eye was he was losing money he never made it up why joe because he froze all these vegetables and nobody had freezers. So the only people buying the frozen vegetables had to thaw them out that day. So Marjorie Post comes in, long story short, scoops up this company for what at the time was $300 million in today's money. It was $22 million at the time.

Everybody laughed. Oh, you're an idiot. You bought this stupid company. You're crazy. You overpaid. This company wasn't making a dollar what a dope well now of course through her entrepreneurial spirit and giving away freezers to supermarkets and the technology we have a massive frozen food business in the united states why am i bringing

that up in terms of the debt because folks there is a way out of this. The way out of this is we need a massive technological breakthrough. Now, was frozen food the massive breakthrough? No, it was a significant one nonetheless. Fed millions of people through decades through the advent of frozen food technology. But folks, with a massive economic breakthrough, I don't know what it's going to be. with a massive economic breakthrough. I don't know what it's going to be. Quantum computing, material science, 3D printing,

supply chain technology, artificial intelligence. I don't know what it's going to be. If I did, I'd be a billionaire myself like Marjorie Post. I have some ideas about where it may go. We need that breakthrough. We need it quick. We need it quick. We are in a race against time right now before this debt comes crashing down and you're paying 20%

on your mortgage loan to buy a house. We are in a serious race against time. If Donald Trump can get a hold on this spending, it'll buy us a little more time. Important thing to talk about. Great series, by the way.

I can't recommend it enough. Is it Foods That Built America or some very good stuff? Okay, I got to move on because I got a lot of stuff. Folks, you know, it's disturbing. I was going to say fascinating, but it's not the appropriate word because it's really disturbing and troubling how the media, you know,

their trends fixed on these narratives. They're like hypnotized, you know? Narratives are their thing. Remember, the media you know they're transfixed on these narratives they're like hypnotized you know narratives are their thing remember the media doesn't do truth journalism supposed to be about facts data points where you interpret the truth and you lend your opinion to a series of facts that that's all dead ruling media is dead okay to the that's your name jane the jane gavel dead you know how i fall in love with it here's another one by the way fraud alert media they don't do facts and data anymore what they do is storylines and the current storyline regarding these dreadful shootings that we've seen is that of course this is republicans fault you've i mean

oh my gosh can you say that i don't have to say it the media says it about donald trump donald trump did this meanwhile they keep in mind one of the the dayton shooter was a leftist but again it doesn't i don't blame people which is dumb media stuff but the media narrative it's a republican's fault number one that's takeaway number one it's not true but that's their narrative takeaway number two is gun control is the answer. So keep this in mind because the story I'm about to present to you from Breitbart,

AWR Hawkins, excuse me, which is up at the show notes. I encourage you to read it. The reason you're not hearing about this on the front pages of the national papers and on the nightly news every night is because it doesn't involve Republicans. Number one, remember the narrative is shootings are Republicans fault't involve Republicans. Number one,

remember the narrative is shootings are Republicans fault. Narrative. Number two, gun control is the answer. If the story doesn't fit those two data points that there's two criteria, you will not hear about it. Even though the carnage is no different. Here's a story from Breitbart

which should trouble any sane sentient being. A.W.R. Hawkins, August 12th, 2019. 47 shot four fatally over the weekend in Democrat-controlled Chicago. Keep that up a second.

I want to read that again. These are our citizens, our folks, our people. 47 shot, four fatally, over the weekend in Democrat-controlled Chicago. Where's this story?'s not interesting to you let me just read one of them to you right

took a little note on this it's troubling it really is i'm not like messing with this is like really troubling stuff so it was a 16 year old kid i'm not familiar with chicago i've only been there once flew in there with obama but in an area called Little Village. He was sitting in a car. He's dead. Dead. But his life doesn't matter? Why isn't that a national story? What about the 16-year-old? Why, he's not important to you? if i'm not mistaken in chicago at that time even a hospital was a designated a pass by because they were so busy taking care of folks you're darn right that is an excellent point remember that i think we covered that a couple weeks ago the the hospitals were so yeah full with our people these are our cities are American citizens in American city. Chicago's not in Afghanistan.

It's not in Mexico or Canada or Japan. It's in Illinois. Last time I checked, these are our people. Joe's right. We covered this, I think it was a couple weeks ago.

There's a hospital so full of people involved in these street shootings that you're not, you can't even take the shootings there anymore, the shooting victims. Why? Why isn't this story on the the answer is obvious when you understand how i opened the

segment because it's a democrat controlled area that already has the strictest gun control laws in the country or some of them yeah it doesn't fit the narrative, folks. It's as simple as that. Now you understand why media mistrust is at an all-time high? If you're going to cover what's going on in this country honestly, you should be covering this story fairly. And you should be covering the fact that where the gun laws you want, you, liberals, not us, the firearms restrictions you want to implement, where they've been implemented, you have a bloodbath going on.

Our kids, innocent people being killed, 47 people shot. Oh, it doesn't fit your story because it's a Democrat-controlled area? Folks, the media is on a dishonesty campaign, the likes of which we haven't seen in decades. Whether it's the Trump era, a TDS level six infection, I don't know what it is. But I'm getting tired of this. And in conjunction and in tandem with yesterday's show where we covered these dreadful red flag laws, again, I want to strongly encourage the White house to re-evaluate your position on this these firearms restrictions and gun laws are not the answer there's an interesting piece i read in the wall street journal today forgive me i'm not sure if it was mcgurn or or whoever but he was addressing this

as well if we're gonna have an conversation, then let's have it. But we're the only ones having that honest conversation. Folks, I'll be straight with you. And this may disappoint some of you. That's fine. If I thought these red flag laws, the idea of universal background checks,

what they call, and we already have background checks. If I thought this would stop mass shootings in this country, you'd be insane to say no. They won't. They're not going, they would not have stopped any of this stuff. I've already told you,

clearly we have a culture rot problem. Guns have been around forever. How many times I got to tell this story? My old Secret Service friend used to go to school in, what is it, Truman, Missouri? The Truman Patriots? That's where he went to school. I don't want to say who it is. But I forget the exact details where he grew up.

He used to tell me funny stories growing up about stealing his neighbor's steak off the barbecue and throwing a raccoon on there. I was like, that's kind of, that thing must have stunk. He remembers the story. But he'd go to school in the parking lot. He'd have that, you'd have his 22 in the back of the truck.

So did everyone else. Guns have been around forever. There's something that happened to the, the, the culture that is rotting the minds of young men in this country who were so angry. They want to go out and murder multiple people. Can we have a conversation about it? No, no, no. the culture that is rotting the minds of young men in this country who are so angry they want to go out and murder multiple people can we have a conversation about no no no we got to talk about gun control okay you tried in chicago how'd that work out for you yeah that's right yeah it didn't

all right i want to get to this um this cuomo thing and but I want to talk about it in deeper context. For those of you missed it, Chris Cuomo from CNN had a, a blowout with a guy in public who recorded it. I'm not going to play the video. You'll see it all over the place. Too many F bombs in there. And I really do try to keep the show family friendly. Sometimes it doesn't work that well.

I get a little emotional myself, but you know, from a guy who's been recorded himself, I generally don't like that kind of stuff. Having said that, there's a couple things about it I want to get to in terms of the language police. So don't go anywhere. I think it's a different perspective than you're hearing about this because this is like blowing up on Twitter. Even conservatives are going back and forth with each other over the Cuomo incident, as we'll call it. All right. Finally, today's show

brought to you by our buddies at Bravo Company Manufacturing. Ladies and gentlemen, Bravo Company Manufacturing makes the finest rifles and pistols out there. Bravo Company, I always tell the story, when I went and picked up mine at the local firearm shop, the guy who gave them to me was really, really happy for me. He's like, these are really great pieces of equipment. They make really, really quality, high-quality firearms. Folks, but there's a distinction about Bravo Company Manufacturing, I want you to understand. They don't make, this is not a sporting arms company. This is a life-saving equipment company.

Bravo Company Manufacturing assumes when their rifles, their pistols, when they leave the shop, they know, number one, it's an awesome responsibility. Safety and proficiency obviously matter if you decide to be a responsible firearm owner. But they understand that their rifles and pistols will wind up in the hands of likely police officers or military personnel or civilians who may, God forbid, one day have to defend themselves or the lives of their family. That's what they think about when they assemble these things by hand, these Bravo Company manufacturing rifles.

The website is bravocompanymfg.com. They build them in Heartland, Wisconsin, right here in America, to a life-saving standard. And every component of a BCM rifle is hand assembled and tested. Folks, I can't recommend them enough. These are really fine pieces of equipment, accurate to a T. I haven't had any, any malfunctions despite firing over and over with these at the range. No problem is right on point every time. BCM puts people before their products. They build their products because they feel it's their moral responsibility to provide tools that will not fail the end user

when it's needed most. Folks, please check them out. To learn more about Bravo Company Manufacturing, go to bravocompanymfg.com. That's bravocompanymfg.com. bravocompanymfg., or check out their YouTube channel, youtube.com slash Bravo company, USA.

Check them out. Okay. So before I get to Cuomo, there is a spectacular piece at power line blog hat tip to, uh, what is it? SFB who sent it to me. I get a lot of emails of articles. A lot of them are very good. And sometimes I use them on the Blog. Hat tip to, what is it, SFB who sent it to me. I get a lot of emails of articles.

A lot of them are very good, and sometimes I use them on the show. I don't, the guy's email was SFB. This is by John Hinderaker. Forgive me if I'm saying your name wrong, John. Powerline Blog. It'll be up at the show notes. Please, please read this one.

It is so good. The left's exclusionary language. Now, how this ties to Cuomo, i think is going to be a different take on what you see but stay tuned because it's important joe what do we talk about on the show all the time how the left engages in these these language wars right yeah they and i'm always like kicking myself in the butt slamming myself in the face because i feel like i'm never explaining this right i even say to joe before and after the I'm like, I'm just not nailing this down. Okay. I discuss this often on the show, how the left is constantly changing the rules of acceptable language. And the reason they do it is

to put you on the outside. Because if you use a word that they've now declared to be racist or misogynistic, you'll use it because the day before it wasn't considered such. And then all of a sudden the left can go, you're a racist. Look at that guy. It happens all the time. It happens all the time. You know, I only found out what a year ago that he pronouns and she pronouns are transphobic.

If you think you're talking to a male and you say he or about a male how is that transphobic if you're talking to someone who's a man or about someone's man you say he we were never told that was transphobic because it's not but the left wants you to exclude you from that social circle of acceptable people to make you look like the outsider transphobe look at him scarlet letter hester prinn now this piece nails it i don't know if sfb who emailed it to me was thinking about this when i assume he or she was because when they sent it they know i talk about this all the time. Here it is absolutely nailed in the piece. Now, the irony of this though

is Hinderaker's writing about an article in the Atlantic, a left-leaning piece where the thesis of the author, Joe, the guy steps out his own message. The thesis of the author in the Atlantic, his theory is that the left's exclusionary language in other words always changing the rules we can't talk about he and she now it's g and gem and

them and whatever that the left's exclusionary language is not allowing them a vocabulary toolbox to appropriately classify trump as basically a white supremacist. Did you follow that? The leftist theory that the guy in Powerline is writing about, because he thinks it's hysterical that he outed himself. The leftist theory is that the left's new language rules are so detailed and hard to describe that when the left is trying to categorize people on the right,

like Trump, as white supremacists and racists, that the argument doesn't make sense because nobody understands what the hell they're talking about. Again. Xi Zem Zhe has said about they, though thou, that thou is he is she is thinks is thou is intersectionality on the moral.

She's out though side and people are like. What the hell are you talking about? No. They. That was. They is. So. Oh, my. Intersectionality. so they thou is they is so oh my intersectionality i is transphobic homophobic guy and you're like i was in vietnam recently with fox and i was in a cab i said a true story and he didn't speak any

english the cab driver i'm not kidding we used our phones to communicate it is the coolest remember paul i told you about this you talk to google translator on your phone um i'd say tell the driver or translate into vietnamese make a left in two blocks and you hit it in vietnamese and then the driver would come back and say tell this guy in the back in english he's obviously talking in vietnamese tell this guy okay i get it we had a whole conversation you need a leftist translator for g joe dao intersectionality you we need because nobody knows what you're talking about he him so the irony and the beauty of this power line piece which i can't recommend enough, is that in the left's effort to engage Xi Zhou Dao culture,

they have alienated 90% of America who needs a Google translator to understand you're trying to call Trump a racist. Xi Zhou Dao, they,

what the, who's Xi Dao? What are you even talking about? They don't even, these pronouns don't even make sense. Them, no, I'm talking about he, he who. You can't say he, you're supposed to say them.

Them, meaning people? No, just him. I can't say him. Who's him? Him? Him. What do you mean him? We're talking about three people, right?

No, no, just that guy. You can't say guy. Well, what guy? Them is plural. No, it's not. It's singular. Are we talking about a single guy? Who's on first?

What's on second? Geez, Al. Nobody knows anything. Right? You were. I know you were. You were going to say. I know you.

Dude, I can read your mind. I've got Joe Armacost, ESP. Nobody knows what you're talking about. The reason we have language rules, brother, is so we know what the hell everybody's saying. That guy. Oh, the guy you're pointing to? Yes, that guy. That guy. That guy. You can't say guy. Okay, them. Wait, with them, everybody's saying. That guy. Oh, the guy you're pointing to? Yes, that guy. That guy, yeah.

That guy. You can't say guy. Okay, them. Wait, with them, there's a group of people. No, not them. Him. I can't say him. Well, is it the guy you're pointing at?

No, it's them. What do you mean them? You're pointing at a single guy. Nobody knows what you're talking about. Joe, we have been hammering this for five years yeah so finally get a bit long overdue yes getting to the atlantic piece this guy nails it this is a leftist writer being quoted in the powerline blog check this out as a little up folks this is worth reading hang with me it is so worth your time this is a leftist figure Figure it out. They've screwed up.

The language of the contemporary left is anti-populist. Its vocabulary, much of it taken from academia, is the opposite of accessible. Gee, you think? It has to be decoded and learned. In other words, nobody knows what the hell you're talking about. Terms such as centered, marginalized, intersectional, non-binary, and Eurocentric gender discipline separates outsiders from insiders. But that's part of their intent, as is their insistence on declaring one's personal pronouns and showing inability to use them accordingly. This is the leftist. Even among words like ally and privilege, they acquire a resonance that takes

them out of the realm of ordinary usage, because the point of the discourse is to create a sense of special virtue in other words leave that up please look at me how special zhizhao though he she them though you know and the other i know because you're an idiot i am virtuous goes on the language of the left also demands continuous refreshing we've said this all the time. Changes every day and can change literally overnight. A writer is told that the phrase born male is no longer okay to use and has to be replaced with a sign male at birth. And let me add here. If you don't say that, Joe, you're transphobic, comophobic, racist, misogophobic phobophobic geez how day though man you're like i did i just said he was a male

okay back to the piece you're just trying to put me on screen but you know okay going back many of these changes happen by ambush yes yes this is the leftist writing this suddenly and irrevocably, with no visible trail of discussion and decision. In other words, folks, nobody agreed to Xi Zhao, they though intersectional born at male. Nobody.

And with quick condemnation of the holdouts, which gives them a powerful mystique. Come to me. Yes! The holdouts. Immediately. You hold out. You're not a Xi Zhao, they don't look at him hester prinn

it goes on almost done this is beautiful this is a leftist the language of the left creates a hierarchy of those who get it and those who don't mastering the vocabulary is a way of signaling entry into a select world of the knowing and the just the system is closed of course joe there's an internal logic that can be accepted or rejected but it but it is an open argument joe or question you're not allowed to argue about it they though intersectional in this sense though and this is the last sentence though much of the language of the left has academic origins its use of the public square is almost religious man alive verdict awesome the jane gavel yes left this dude who wrote that piece

and it's quoted in powerline blog you nailed it dude how long have we been talking about this brother joe five years since we started yeah seriously you go back to soundcloud yeah yeah when joe and i were recording in my basement we had like 10 listeners in saverna park maryland yes go back to soundcloud i think that one of our first 10 shows, we talk about the language police on the left. Yes, yes, yes. And why? Because I told you it happened to me. I was guest hosting at WMAL on the radio in Washington, D.C.

I've told many of you listeners, I'm sorry if you've heard the story a thousand times, but it shows you how the left uses language to isolate you and put you on the outside by changing the rules overnight. Some story was there that morning and it said, you're now that this guy came out and said that if you call people who are gay, homosexual, or it may, honest to God, I don't even remember the order.

Or if you call them homosexual, gay, that you are a homophobe. And I thought, did anybody discuss this? Like, where did this come from? This is what the left does. It's meant to signal virtue. Look, I understand that gay is more sensitive than homosexual. Therefore, you must be a homophobe. And well, we were sitting around at MA all that morning.

I remember thinking, wait, what? Who made this rule up? They do it all the time. The quote, hey, you can't say he's a male. You have to say a male at birth now. Or you are definitely a transphobe. Okay? Is there a public discussion about this?

Of course there isn't. But as I've said to you, and I promise I'll get to Cuomo, I didn't forget that. As I've said to you, again, repeatedly, the left will eventually cannibalize and eat its own because yeah you're damn right because folks number one these attacks work look that guy said mail and if you're a leftist primary voter with your pink hat on you know what i mean and your i love obamacare and Bernie's the greatest socialism 2020 shirt,

you're woke, man. You get it. In order to signal your virtue when some leftist who's not in on the new code word says, well, that guy was born male. Oh, oh, Zizode. Yeah, Zizode's a homophobe transphobe. The leftist is like, what do you mean?

I didn't know that. What do you mean you didn't know? You didn't get the memo last night at 9 p.m. They said male should be male at birth now. You didn't get the leftist socialist email list? Homophobe, transphobe, istophobic, phobophobe, definitely. That guy's out. He's out.

Candidate Joey X, oh, you can't say X. That's a slur against Malcolm X. You're a racist. Oh, but what? What are you talking about? Nothing you say is ever going to be legit. Nothing. It's over.

You are not legit. And the signaling that you're more virtuous works. Yep. Amongst conservatives gaff this off. Right. But liberals would be like, that candidate sucks. They said male. And it's them signaling there look at me chest puffery but folks eventually it turns on them because the rules don't make any sense so they make mistakes remember that california state

senator in the video she's giving out the whole team a lecture about how they're going to use pronouns and then she goes yeah know, my grammar school teacher, she would really hate it. And the audience is like, you, you, she, you,

you, she, and then the socialist convention video we played last week, guy comes up, Hey guys, Hey guys. And then the other guy comes up, you can't say guys,

folks, this movement will eat itself alive because it is not based on any coherent functioning set of rules that a civilized society can live by. The conservative rules are simple, Joe. I believe in God-given big R rights and liberty for me. That includes economic liberty, healthcare liberty, education liberty, freedom and choice, and a limited government based on items in the Constitution guaranteed on mass public consensus. The Army system of courts, that's what we believe in.

Those rules are not hard to violate. You respect my civil liberties granted by God, I'll respect yours. I don't want to give the government my money, I don't want you to either. I want to be able to defend myself, I want you to as well. They are very simple rules

those movements never cannibalize themselves movements of ideological purity where everybody competes to be the woke i'm i'm woke i'm woker i'm the wokiest woke woke man you've ever woken in your woke life. I'm wokier than him. There's no question this is going to collapse on itself. I'm telling you, read that Powerline blog piece. It is so worth your time. Now, how does this relate to Cuomo? Sorry, I had a lot of fun in that.

Sometimes when I'm having fun in a segment, I got to go a little longer. May have annoyed some of you and some of you may like, but I just want you to know lot of fun in that. Sometimes when I'm having fun in a segment, I got to go a little longer. May have annoyed some of you, and some of you may like, but I really, I just want you to know, I've really enjoyed that. Yeah. And I think you can tell. We've been talking about it for so long.

When someone sums up the essence of what you've been trying to say more elegantly than you can, I have to hammer it home. So hat tip to that writer, even though he's a leftist, nailed it. But Chris Cuomo from CNN gets in an altercation

with a guy that gets videotaped listen i'm generally not a big fan of this stuff um you know uh listen to you i you know i i have a temper too and i always say to my you know my wife i'm out in public make sure you like pull me away if someone because i just i have a bad time i'm not gonna lie to you i mean we never fake it on this show. And even though I probably shouldn't say stuff, I do because I feel like all you've done for me, you're entitled to understand the real me, warts and all. I have a bad temper. I do.

I just always have. It's my, I work on it. I pray about it. I mean that. It's not me virtue signaling. And I think I've gotten a little better. In public, I'm usually pretty cool. I mean, you really, really got to get under my skin

because I get it a lot. But Cuomo lost it last night. This video video I'm not going to play it it's about a minute long but it's basically Cuomo in the face of this guy guy gets in his face calls him Fredo Cuomo comes back tells me he's going to throw him down the stairs or whatever it's kind of a stupid video it's all over Twitter this morning yeah but how

this relates to this language police thing and I just threw this in is now CNN in defense of Cuomo. And listen, defend your guy, whatever. I don't care. I really don't. If Cuomo wants to lose it in public, it's his career. Do whatever you want.

Although, you know, Joe, if it happened to me and we were on video, like, I'm going to rip your head off. What would they say, Joe? Lunatic, maniac, Fox News, get him off the air. But of course, when it's CNN, everybody's got to defend them at cnn because you know they don't really have any principles so now that you know their their their defense here is that the guy called cuomo fredo you know fredo from the godfather yeah you know the meek weaker like sellout brother so cuomo in the video is like fredo that's an ethnic italian slur folks and cnn jumped on that bandwagon joe here we go with the language police now fredo i'm italian folks my last name is bongino okay

you could put it in front of italian restaurant make perfect sense okay yeah bongino's pizza bongino's italian would make perfect sense that's where i was my last name was bongiorno before they changed it. I don't really care if you call it's not an Italian slur and I'm not going to make it an Italian slur now either because I'm a woke SJW social justice. Don't call me Fredo.

I'll lose my mind. Fredo's a character in a movie. Grow a set of cojones, okay? Thicken up your skin and grow up. Fredo, listen, again, I'm not whatever. You want to get into a fight with a guy in public? I'm not going after him personally. I really, I'm not

going to, I don't even care. I'm just saying, don't, just say, hey, I was with my kid. I got pissed off and I got in a guy's face, whatever. But don't come out with this nonsense, wussy stuff. Oh, I'm Italian and Fredo's an ethnic. Get dude, get lost.

We're not going to put that in the new exclusionary terms category. Okay. Fredo generally meant being a sellout or something like that. Oh, look at this tweet. Luckily, Paula found this for me this morning, showing you again how the left changes the rules. Remember that piece overnight? Here's Vanity Fair.

Far left radicals at Vanity Fair taking a shot at Trump advisor, Roger Stone. What does the tweet say? Another reminder that everyone connected to the Trump administration is an absolute Fredo. I thought it was racist or, or gee, though, though, ethnicist, misogynistic, comophobic, transphobic.

I thought it was it. Apparently it's not when Vanity Fair uses it now. There are a thousand clips of Anna Navarro and tons of others using the word Fredo to describe sellouts. I'm just cautioning you against falling into this social justice warrior trap. I'm Italian. I don't speak for all Italians.

I speak for myself. I'm American. I wasn't born. I've never even been to Italy. But having an Italian lineage, it is not a slur. Don't be a wuss like these leftists. My gosh. Okay, I was going to get into this.

I have to get to it tomorrow. The craziest Epstein theory. You know what? Just to put it up quick, I'll stress it quick. The craziest Epstein conspiracy theory I've heard yet. There are a lot of them out there. I told you I'm waiting for the facts. Listen, it's not a conspiracy theory to have questions about this at all. Don't read me wrong. This is very suspicious,

the death of Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah. But having said that, there are some people out there saying crazy stuff. Here's a piece by Betsy Rothstein, who's certainly no fan of mine at the Daily Caller, but it's kind of a funny piece. Halperin floats the weirdest Epstein conspiracy theory and people are pissed. Really, this lady hates my guts. But it's a funny piece. Halperin, Mark Halperin floats the weirdest Epstein conspiracy theory and people are pissed really this lady hates my guts but it's a funny piece um Halperin Mark Halperin this now disgraced former alleged reporter floated this theory here's his tweet Joe this is this is like some crazy like Iron Man 2 kind of stuff um he says not a conspiracy theory but a question if you assume the incompetence and or corruption required for Epstein to kill

himself would be murder, why not believe he might have faked his own death via body double and escaped? Okay. Ah, yeah. Folks, let me just ask you a simple question, okay? Because listen, I know there's a couple probably people out there going, why not?

Folks, the guy knew he was under investigation. If he was going to fake his death with a body double, why would he wait to get locked up to go into prison to do it? Now, Joe, if you hated the damn Bongino show so much you wanted to get away from me, that you faked your own death, and that'd have to be a body, so Joe would have to kill somebody,

which would be awful, right? We can all agree. Terrible. Why would Joe wait to get locked up to transplant the guy like the Mickey Rourke character? Was that Iron Man 2 or 3? I don't even remember. I think it was 2,

where they put the, why would you wait till you got in prison to do that? Folks, this is, please, questions, yes, a ton of them.

This is very, very suspicious. Some of the questions i brought up yesterday but he faked his death with a body double and escaped from one of the most secure facilities in the city of new york uh listen it's not iron man 2 okay and what is that guy whiplash no i'm telling you remember occam's razor always occam's razor otherwise known as keep it simple stupid but here's the real occam's razor given a series of explanations you should always accept the one that requires the fewest amount of assumptions this makes you assume this theory that he was smart enough to get a body double in there,

clever enough to whack him, leave him in the cell. It makes you assume there was no test, no dental records, no nothing done on the body. You assume that there were people in on it, that the person that walked into the cell evaded every video camera in MCC. Folks, it's just a dumb theory.

I'm sorry. Halperin should be embarrassed, but it's hard to embarrass Mark Halperin. All right, folks. That was a really enjoyable show today. I think you can tell I had a really good time.
