The Dan Bongino Show - Liberals are Trying to Scare You Away From Mentioning Him (Ep 1117)

Episode Date: November 22, 2019

In this episode, I address the liberal’s use of scare tactics to intimidate you and to prevent you from learning the truth about the role of liberal mega-donor George Soros in the Ukraine scandal. I... also address the wall the Democrats are running into in their impeachment hoax. News Picks:Impeachment update: EVERYONE denies a quid pro quo.   The GOP, despite the sham impeachment hoax, continues to dominate in fundraising.   Fiona Hill wrote an op-ed in 2015 in direct contradiction to her testimony yesterday.    Fiona Hill got an early copy of the dossier.    5 times the media acknowledged Ukrainian election meddling until it hurt their impeachment dreams.    This article alleges that Christopher Steele provided information to a longtime Clinton crony.    Whoa. An FBI line lawyer is under investigation for allegations he altered documents used to spy on Carter Page.   The FBI has some serious explaining to do with regard to its vetting of confidential informants.   Another shady deal involving Joe Biden’s son.   This article from earlier in the year documents the role of George Soros’ operation in the Ukraine scandal.    Another excellent Solomon article on Soros.    Copyright Dan Bongino All Rights Reserved.

Trump. But as I will cover in the show today, I would not get too excited just yet. There's a little wrinkle to that story. Stay tuned. Huge show today, including I'll give you a little teaser. Don Trump Jr. interview coming up later on to what we talked about. Just got done recording that.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Without further ado, welcome to the Dan Bongino Show. Producer Joe, how are you today? It's Friday and we are chock full of stuff. Yes, it is. And apparently Siri thought you were talking to her again. Oh, hey Siri. How you doing, baby? She does that all the time yeah every time
Starting point is 00:01:05 on the show always interrupts my show yeah good interview great interview with don trump jr later but we have a loaded show for you today i'm also going to hit on um the specific reason certain people want you to not pay attention to the george soros ukraine spy gate the whole angle there's a very specific reason. Don't go anywhere. All right, today's show brought to you by buddies at Bravo. I got their shirt on today. Bravo Company Manufacturing.
Starting point is 00:01:33 We love Bravo Company Manufacturing. Visit BravoCompanyMFG.com. Why would you do that? Well, you would visit them because you're probably in the market for a rifle, a rifle that is of the highest quality, exquisitely made, that fires precisely and doesn't malfunction on you when you need it. Well, you got to go to Bravo then. Folks, listen, Bravo Company Manufacturing, you know, they tell you, as I say often when
Starting point is 00:02:01 I do the read for this company, which I love, they say never tell the audience what a company isn't. No one likes negatives, but in this case, it matters. Bravo Company Manufacturing is not a sporting arms company, okay? If you want a sporting arm, a hunting rifle, that's fine. That's great, but that's not what they do. They design, engineer, and manufacture, listen, life-saving equipment. It's not a sporting arms company. Bravo Company Manufacturing assumes when one of their rifles leaves their shop, it'll be used, God forbid, in a life or death situation. But that's the assumption they make with every piece of equipment, every rifle they send out. They'll be used by a responsible citizen,
Starting point is 00:02:40 law enforcement officer, or a soldier overseas. Quality is all that matters to them. law enforcement officer, or a soldier overseas. Quality is all that matters to them. Every component of a BCM rifle is hand-assembled and tested by Americans in Heartland, Wisconsin, to a life-saving standard. This is life-saving equipment. 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 not a paper target or a hunting competition. But somebody, God forbid, coming to do them harm. BCM knows reliable life-saving tools matter. That's why they produce life-saving equipment and the highest quality rifles out there.

I have two of these. They are terrific. All right, Joe, let's go.
Starting point is 00:03:51 So ladies and gentlemen, before we get to the whole Soros thing that came up yesterday at the impeachment trial, I'm not just bringing this up randomly. The Democrats brought it up yesterday, which I find fascinating. I want to cover the breaking news last night, which candidly screwed up my entire show. I had the whole show ready to go.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Right, Paul? I was preparing for my Don Trump Jr. interview. And all of a sudden, breaking news. CNN gets convenient, by the way. CNN and The Washington Post, which says to me it's a leak meant to take the edge off the upcoming IG report, has breaking news that the FBI. Breaking news that the FBI, there's a line lawyer in the FBI that is being investigated criminally for changing an email apparently used as a supporting document for the FISA warrant on Carter Page. Now, ladies and gentlemen, it sounds pretty devastating. But just let me show you quickly.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Well, I'll get to the Washington Post thing in a minute. All right. This is devastating. It's pretty horrible. I'm not going to go crazy with this and be hyperbolic because I'm losing confidence in the day with the IG report. I'll explain why in a moment. Before I get to that, though. Please do.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Yeah. Because I know, I know. Everybody was, I know. I got the emails. Everybody was emailing me, oh my gosh, Dan, you're showing them. Are you going to go crazy? I'm not so convinced. I'm with the listeners.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Sorry. All right. I'll tell you why first. Here's the good part first. This is, by the way, the good part. I mean, some accountability is coming. Here is known anti-Trump or a guy who can't stand. This guy hates my guts, by the way.
Starting point is 00:05:18 I know. Former United States attorney in New York. Oh, he can't stand me. Preet Bharara, who he was on CNN. This guy can't stand Trump. He hates me here. He's even acknowledging that this this admission now apparently been in the Horowitz report that the FBI may have changed the document is big trouble for the FBI. Check out Preet Bharara right here. Preet Bharara, the former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. What's your reaction, Preet? Well, that's kind of an alarming bit of news. Obviously, based on what Evan is saying,
Starting point is 00:05:49 there's a lot we don't know. But given the description he has provided, if there was an FBI agent sworn to uphold the Constitution who can be proven to have altered a document in connection with a legal proceeding, including the obtaining of a FISA warrant, that's really serious. It doesn't get a lot more serious than that. I'd like to know the details of what the nature of the change was, if there's a mistake in some way. Based on that reporting, it doesn't sound like it was. I want to keep an open mind about it, but that's not a good thing. It's a terrible thing. Law enforcement agents and prosecutors who work with them are sworn to uphold the Constitution, sure, but actually even exceed the protections in the Constitution.
Starting point is 00:06:28 They have to be of the utmost integrity and the utmost candor. And especially if you're making a representation to the court, which is what a FISA application is, it's got to be on the up and up. And I know there's been a lot of political fighting about whether or not there was proper candor. And I know there's been a lot of political fighting about whether or not there was proper candidate. There was this back and forth within the House Intelligence Committee when the positions were reversed between Devin Nunes and Adam Schiff. And that looked like a lot of politics. This particular thing that Evan Perez has just broken the story on does sound serious.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Now, folks, you may be watching it going, Dan, I don't get it. Why are we not piling on? This is great. They finally got them. They changed documents to spy on Carter Page through a FISA warrant who was a member of the Trump team and through Carter Page spying on the Trump team as well. We finally nailed them to the wall. We may.
Starting point is 00:07:15 But ladies and gentlemen, I'm not here for hysterics and explosive bombshells and all in the I'm here to tell you the truth. I have been skeptical from the start that certain people were going to be nailed to the wall on this thing because I believe the deep state is deeper than most of us imagine, and I believe people are running to cover up. Now, let me give you the good and the bad first. By the good, when I say the good, I mean the accountability portion. Finally, we are getting some accountability.
Starting point is 00:07:40 The good portion of this, or the good signals, breaking good news, the fact that the leak was to CNN and apparently the Washington post, which I'll put up in a moment here about this FBI line lawyer, who's being criminally investigated, it says to me, Joe, and I, it should signal to you.
Starting point is 00:07:59 And some of you are getting this. If you're regular listeners to my show, because you're here, I know that they leaked to CNNnn and the washington post says that the deep state swamp rats and the department of justice and the fbi involved in the spying scandal on donald trump see the information in the inspector general's report is so dangerous and so pernicious that they had a leak it in advance late on a thursday into a friday during the impeachment trial during the last day where that was dictating the news stories. Why folks to take the edge off.
Starting point is 00:08:30 I ask you this, a knife, right? Do you want the knife? Right? No, I die. That would really hurt.
Starting point is 00:08:35 So what do you do? You just kind of poke a little bit. It hurts. It's annoying, but it's certainly not going to kill you. What they're doing here, the swamp rats who are leaking this because a number of people have seen the IG reports and I'm getting this from professionals
Starting point is 00:08:47 in the business who have never lied to me. This show is frequently three or four weeks ahead of the news cycle, if not more. They leak that out because there's potentially more damaging information to come. And if they feel like if they just poke slowly, it'll hurt a little bit. The public will get it,
Starting point is 00:09:04 but a long weekend will go by. The impeachment thing's still going on. And by Monday, everybody will forget. That says to me and should signal to you that the IG report could be, could be damning. There could be bad information in there. Got it? Yeah. Yeah, agree.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Yeah. got it yeah yeah agree yeah what what's not good about this on the accountability front is it appears at least from the leaks that there's an effort to hedge bets again ladies and gentlemen the big scandal in the spy gate scandal spying operation on don Trump. It's not that Donald Trump was spied on. That is a scandal and his team. What would be scandalous is if it wasn't predicated, right? We do facts here. If Donald Trump, if they had legitimate information that Donald Trump was working with the Russians, ladies and gentlemen, to become the president and overthrow the United States on behalf of the Russians, then I think we'd all agree, great, spy on him. Correct? Of course, that's nonsense. None of that actually happened. The scandal is not that he was spied on. It's that he was spied on without predication. In other words,
Starting point is 00:10:17 a set of facts leading to probable cause that would make the spying legal. In other words, illegal spying on a presidential candidate. Now, why is that bad? Because look at the Washington Post, by the way, hat tip to the awesome techno fog on Twitter and undercover Huber who do terrific legal analysis when this stuff comes out. Can't recommend you follow them enough on Twitter. I believe this came from his account. I'm not sure. But is from the washington post story on this this is where it gets ugly folks quote inspector general horowitz found that the employee they're talking about the lawyer that manipulated this piece of evidence to spy on carter page erroneously indicated he had documentation to back up a claim he had made in discussions with the justice department about the factual basis for the FISA application.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Here's where it gets bad. He then altered an email to back up that erroneous claim. They say, I'm sorry, this is not the piece I wanted. Let me just, I'm sorry, that's totally my fault. I sent this to Paula. That part, that's the good part. It goes on to say forgive me folks but later on it goes on to say that it doesn't change the factual predicate for the spying on carter page in other words the story's been updated later to say that the predication for the spying may have still been legitimate okay so folks right again this is why i don't get crazy with this stuff and why i believe there won't be any substantial accountability in this until we get john dorham uh and and john dorham the united states attorney to get heads to roll that sounds really devastating from the washington post. And then you see down in the story later, which we'll put up, that, of course, oh, it didn't change the factual predication for the spying. Ladies and gentlemen, that's the scandal.
Starting point is 00:12:13 The scandal is, isn't that Trump and his team were spied on? It's that they were spied on for no reason illegally. If the Washington Post be saying, yes, they were spied on and information was doctored and evidence, but the predication for the spying is still legitimate, it says to me somebody is still covering their butts. Why? Because the predication was not legitimate. Joe, if I've ever needed you as an ombudsman,
Starting point is 00:12:37 I need you now. No, everything you just said is pretty easy, okay? Good. I think so, too. I just want to make sure the audience the scandal here is the fbi and department of justice did not have adequate information to spy on someone the scandal would be devastating if they altered evidence as we now know happened according to the washington post and by the way remember the chain of command again we're always a few weeks ahead of the news cycle here the chain of command. Again, we're always a few weeks ahead of the news cycle here.
Starting point is 00:13:06 The chain of command for the FISA application and the Woods file, the Woods files, the verification for the information, was Kevin Clinesmith from the FBI, Sally Moyer, and then Tashina Guajara. We say her name wrong. Those were the line lawyers involved. We'll see what the email said.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Now, why do I think this is bad? Bad for us, not bad for them. Because folks, if someone is insisting in this leak that the FBI still believes they had factual predication of the spy on the Trump team, we got nothing, ladies and gentlemen. We have an administrative thing. Yeah. Really?
Starting point is 00:13:46 We have a guy who made an administrative change on evidence. It's criminal nonetheless. But it's not. What does that matter? Much ado. That's not the scandal. Yeah. The scandal is that the spy, follow me here.
Starting point is 00:13:59 This is where it's important. Okay, but. To spy on Carter Page in a FISA warrant, you have to prove two things. Don't ever forget this. Number one, you have to prove that Carter Page was acting on behalf of a foreign agent. And, not or, and that he was acting on behalf of a foreign agent in violation of U.S. law. Ladies and gentlemen,
Starting point is 00:14:31 acting on behalf of a foreign agent in the United States is not illegal. We'd have to arrest every diplomat for a foreign country. They're acting on behalf of a foreign agent. Are they not? Arrest him, the ambassador from Swaziland. He's not doing anything wrong. Lobbyists act on behalf of foreign agents all the time.
Starting point is 00:14:48 It's not illegal. They petition the government about all kinds of things. You cannot do so in violation of a specific law. Right, okay. Why does any of this matter? Because, folks, I believe the FBI at the uppermost levels involved, the people involved in the Carter page spying application are pulling the wool over your eyes.
Starting point is 00:15:12 You're not going to get this analysis anywhere else. They're continually assisting to you, insisting to you, forgive me that the predication for the warrant was legitimate because Carter page was acting on behalf of a foreign agent. It doesn't matter. What law did Carter Page break? The answer, Joe.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Zero. No laws. Carter Page has never been charged with a crime. with a crime so you're saying that the you know the details and that's where the devil is have really been left out and we'll get whacked with them yeah okay yeah the fbi continues to insist publicly that they have predication to spy on page and that they've met this standard they haven't they haven't even met that Carter Page was acting on behalf of a foreign government standard, no less breaking the law. Remember what I told you in an episode over a year ago? That the bribery charge against Carter
Starting point is 00:16:18 Page, that he was being bribed vis-a-vis a Russian gas company. He was being offered an extensive interest worth millions of dollars in a Russian gas company in exchange for his role in the collusion scheme, right? Okay. Do you remember what I told you over a year ago? That that bribery charge mysteriously appears in the later dossiers, almost like it's an updated edit. Why? Now it's all coming together.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Why would that appear in a later dossier? Because maybe they tried pitching Christopher Steele, Simpson, and Nellie Orr's earlier dossiers, and someone in the FBI came back after their FISA warrant was rejected and said hey this is all disturbing stuff about Carter Page dealing with Russia foreign agent but we need a violation of U.S. law oh let me just throw this bribery thing in there yeah dig deep folks dig deep I'm sorry that i don't mean to get so analytical in this show but this is a layered complicated case with a very simple premise the simple premise is this
Starting point is 00:17:35 the fbi spied without a legal reason to do so the fbi suggesting their legal reason to do so was a dossier i'm telling you the dossier was updated, updated with a crime Carter Page committed, a fake bribery charge, because the earlier FISA warrants didn't meet number two, the violation of U.S. law, briberies against the law. And what's also convenient is in the earlier versions of the dossier
Starting point is 00:18:03 written by, we now know fusion gps nelly orr and glenn simpson what lee smith in his book the plot against trump calls the proto dossiers listen to this wrinkle oh this is a good one that the bribery charge that magically gets inserted against carter page when i believe their initial fives is denied because they need a crime number two the bribery charge through this russian gas company and igor sechin ladies and gentlemen is magically the same set of characters christopher steel references in his earlier work with the FBI on the soccer scandal, where he claims the Russians tried to bribe the soccer federation using the same gas company and players. Wait, why?
Starting point is 00:19:03 You picking up what I'm putting down? Yeahopher steel has worked with the fbi in the past as an informant unrelated to russian collusion with trump forget that for a second steel has been what they call a credible informant in the past wherein this international soccer scandal bribes for the world cup and things like that. Steele alleged he had information that the Russians were using this gas company and others to bribe the international audience to get the World Cup. All of a sudden, Steele, Simpson and Nellie Orr present these dossiers to the FBI to get the Trump team spied on. The dossiers have to meet a two pronged test to get a FISA warrant. Foreign agent, violation of US law. These initial dossiers indicate Page may have been a foreign agent.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Not true, but it doesn't matter. But the FISA warrants, I believe, get denied at some level. They may not have even made it to the court. Someone filters back to Steele. Hey, buddy. Hey, buddy. Hey, buddy. Like my buddy used to say. We need a crime in here. Oh, man. What a crime in the past. Oh, the FIFA thing. The bribe.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Oh, yeah. The same guys bribed Carter Page, too. There you go. Well done. I'll be back after I let them know. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. Let me let them know they were bribed.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Very good. Well done. Exactly. Well said. Yes. Folks. That good. Well done. Exactly. Well said. Yes. Folks, that's the bad news and why I'm not getting all excited about this thing. Again, I don't want to be Debbie Downer. I want you to have the facts.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because if the FBI is still insisting through their leaks to the Washington Post and CNN that the thing was predicated, the spying, when it was predicated on a fake dossier with fake information. We're nowhere.
Starting point is 00:20:50 We're nowhere. We got a guy that changed an email who's going to do, what, a day or two in jail because he lied? Who cares? That's not the accountability we want. Everybody involved in this
Starting point is 00:21:02 needs to get in handcuffs and spend real time in jail for breaking the law. I'm not getting excited and I'm sorry. I don't mean to burst anybody's bubble. Well, and I'm tired of being disappointed. You kind of did. You did. You really, you burst a lot of bubbles, but you know what? They have to be burst in the name of reality. You know, it's got to, it's have to be burst in the name of reality you know it's got to and it's got to be sure i'm not i don't mean to no i'm glad you brought because i don't want to tamper expect it i have folks listen i've i'm being i have great sources i've
Starting point is 00:21:34 got some ideas about what's going on and coming out yeah the ig report will be coming out in december i'm withholding judgment till i see it. I'm not getting excited about this. I thought it was a good revelation last night. Now I'm encouraging you to wait and let's get the facts on this. It doesn't mean give up. We don't do that. This is not the quitter show. Go find another show if you're interested in quitting. I'm not.
Starting point is 00:21:59 All right, folks, let me get to some more. The Soros thing yesterday was just like out of the blue in the fake whistleblower and fake impeachment hearing. This is totally out of the blue. I'll get to that in a second. Today's show also brought to you by our buddies at Ali. Ladies and gentlemen, listen, Ali sells food for dogs. Notice I didn't call it dog food. Why?
Starting point is 00:22:15 Because dog food is a negative connotation. Who wants to eat dog food? This is not dog food. This is a food for dogs. You can literally eat this stuff. I'm not kidding. It is human grade food. And your dog's health is as important as every other member of your family.
Starting point is 00:22:30 And it starts with what you feed them. But do you know what's in your dog's food? Ollie puts dogs first. Our dogs, which we've hijacked from my grandmother, baby, look at baby boy. Come on, look at the baby boy right there. Look at those eyes. How are you going to get a dog like that? The baby boy. The baby boy loves Ollie. That's the thing. I know. We love the baby boy. Come on. Look at the baby boy right there. Look at those eyes. How are you going to get a dog like that, the baby boy? The baby boy loves Ollie.
Starting point is 00:22:48 I know. We love the baby boy. My mother-in-law named the baby. So the cutest dog ever. Ollie puts dogs first. Baby won't eat anything else. With vet-formulated recipes and fully transparent ingredients to give your dog the healthiest food possible.
Starting point is 00:23:02 Ollie makes fresh meals for dogs with real ingredients. People can eat, delivers them to you on a regular schedule. I always, excuse me, I always use the example of, you know, if you give your dog a piece of steak, is it dog food? No, it's a piece of steak you gave to your dog. That's how fresh and healthy this food is. It is food for dogs. Ollie beat out store-bought dog food at 10 to 1 on the palatability scale.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Listen, that's a fancy way of saying, you know what? The stuff just tastes good. Dogs love it because they create customized vet-formulated recipes made with all natural ingredients, no preservatives, and sourced from fresh U.S. family farms. Go to my, ollie, O-L-L-I-E dot com. Answer a few questions about your dog and they'll
Starting point is 00:23:38 customize recipes for your dog. They'll ship pre-portioned meals, pop them open, feed them to your dog so your pup gets the perfect portion every time. They've delivered how many? Five million meals and counting. Shipping is free. And if your dog doesn't like the meals, it's just simple.

Starting point is 00:24:26 Check it out today. Okay. So yesterday I'm watching this impeachment fiasco. Again, total joke farce. Completely melted down to the Democrats. By the way, I saw this morning. I didn't include it in the show because there was so much going on.
Starting point is 00:24:41 But Paul Bedard is a great piece of the Washington Secrets, his piece. Epic fail. Trump's approval's up. Money's coming in. This has just been a total disaster for the Democrats. Anyone telling you otherwise is completely lying. So smile a little bit today. Adam Schiff completely imploded, and this thing's been a joke. But yesterday at the end of the hearing, a representative, forgive me if I'm saying your name wrong. I mean no disrespect, sincerely. Representative Chris Nam amorthy who's a democrat i think that's how you say it he started a quite he's a democrat so he starts to question
Starting point is 00:25:10 fiona hill who was up there as a so-called uh russia ukraine expert who as i said yesterday is apparently unaware of ukrainians efforts to influence our election which are already documented in court case i don't know how she missed that she claims to be a regional expert but this seemed to come out of the blue christian and now before i get to the sound uh here i want to be sure i preface this by telling you nothing nothing that democrats do is by chance nothing if something's brought up in a congressional hearing, it is usually a dog whistle, a blink, a nod to a hat tip to the media that the Democrats want a narrative out there. Nothing is done by mistake. Are we clear on that? I hope so. Yeah, because I don't want you to think this was some slip of the tongue. This Democratic representative, Christina Morthy, saying this to fiona hill this was planned in advance i'm gonna lay out to you what they're doing and why they're frightened of this whole soros angle but listen to this first you said
Starting point is 00:26:17 specifically when i saw this happening to ambassador yovanovitch again i was furious because this is again just this whipping up of what is, frankly, an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory about George Soros to basically target nonpartisan career officials. Isn't that what you said? I did say that, yes. And I'm sure you've been watching with concern what's happened to other nonpartisan career officials. We had Lieutenant Colonel Alex Vindman, an American immigrant, questioned for his criticism of the president in a very unfair way, basically questioning his loyalty to the country. I believe that he's also of Ukrainian Jewish descent.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Would you say that these different theories, these conspiracy theories that have been targeting you, spun in part by folks like Mr. Stone, as well as fueled by Rudy Giuliani and others, basically have a tinge of anti-Semitism to them at least? Well, certainly when they involve George Soros, they do. I'd just like to point out that in the early 1900s, the Tsarist secret police produced something called the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which actually you can still obtain on the internet,
Starting point is 00:27:37 and you can buy it actually sometimes in bookshops in Russia and elsewhere. This is the longest-running anti-Semitic trope that we have in history. And the trope against Mr. Soros, George Soros, was also created for political purposes. And this is the new protocols of the elders of Zion. I actually intended to write something about this before I was actually invited to come into the administration because it's an absolute outrage. invited to come into the administration because it's an absolute outrage now again nothing the democrats do is by mistake everything is brought up for a reason so now you should be asking yourself most of you are you're a lot smarter than me and my audience
Starting point is 00:28:24 you all i love your emails you're uh you guys and ladies are genius out there i always say the reason i explain things on the show i think in a way it's understandable is you all are brilliant i'm an average intelligence guy i have to explain things a lot to myself and by explaining it i weave my way through it in a way that makes it understandable for other folks out there too yeah i like that i just work really hard. Overcome my shortcomings sometimes. You may be asking yourself the same thing. Well, what is the reason, Dan? Why did this Democrat representative out of the blue in a fake impeachment hearing about a fake whistleblower all of a sudden just magically bring up George Soros? Well, let's get right to that. Well, let's get right to that. The question you need to be asking is, why did this come up in context of Marie Yovanovitch and also kind of cryptically in conjunction with the famous,
Starting point is 00:29:16 now infamous, do not prosecute list? Why is Soros coming up with that? Why is Soros a central figure at the end, by the way? Well, let's get to it. This is going to take a little going down the rabbit hole, but get ready. I promise I'll tie it up for you. Why are they so afraid of Soros is what you should keep in your head or a deep look at Soros. Why?
Starting point is 00:29:41 Let's go first to the famous do not prosecute letter, which they say doesn't exist. Ladies and gentlemen, courtesy of John Solomon, here is the actual letter. I will read to you. You can observe it if you'd like on the YouTube account. It's irrelevant. YouTube.com slash Bongino. If you'd like to see it, here's page one. Here's page two. This is from George Kent, Deputy Assistant Secretary George Kent, here's page two this is from george kent deputy assistant secretary george kent who was the charge of affairs in ukraine at the time a high-level u.s diplomat who was writing to a ukrainian prosecutor about people they'd prefer weren't prosecuted uh what's interesting in there is at the end he talks about this group antac and how they'd rather not have government u.s government dollars how they wouldn't want them prosecuted this group antac and how they'd rather not have government u.s government dollars how they
Starting point is 00:30:25 wouldn't want them prosecuted this group and tech so there's the letter yourself uh you can see yourself that george kent and others um have insisted uh it doesn't say do not prosecute but clearly says we'd like you to stay away from these certain groups that have to do with this certain thing the anti-corruption action center everybody get it ladies and gentlemen the way, just so we're clear for the liberals watching, because I know your skulls can be about 62 feet thick and lined with adamantium and lead like it's out of an X-Men book, comic book. That's the actual letter. Stay away from ANTAC.
Starting point is 00:31:01 What does that have to do with Soros? We'll get to it. By the way, nobody's disputing the authenticity of the letter. That's the actual letter. Nobody. Kent, the State Department, Yovanovitch, none of them are suggesting that letter signed by George Kent is false or a hoax. The letter clearly states, in no uncertain terms,
Starting point is 00:31:28 we'd rather you stay away from this group, ANTAC, disingenuously called the Anti-Corruption Center, whatever it was. Well, ladies and gentlemen, as we can see here from this piece in the hill, this is a group partially funded by who george soros john solomon as he's i'm gonna go through a series of hill pieces by john solomon i'll i'll put them up uh by the way uh some of them
Starting point is 00:31:54 i will have in the show notes u.s embassy pressed ukraine to drop probe with george soros during 2016 election well soros that says antac what does soros have to do with antac well soros had a funding mechanism in does Soros have to do with Antac well Soros had a funding mechanism in place through some charities for this group Antac where they donated I believe it was something like $290,000 or so to this group Antac isn't that fascinating
Starting point is 00:32:15 so Antac which George Kent the charge at the time in Ukraine working under Marie Yovanovitch they send this letter to a time in Ukraine, working under Marie Yovanovitch, they send this letter to a prosecutor in Ukraine suggesting you should probably stay away from this group partially funded by a George Soros philanthropic operation, money operation.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Follow me. Okay. Interesting now that as we go on in this other John Solomon piece that the FBI had had some significant contacts with this Soros group. It's a little long quote, but I want to read it to you here. So now we have, you know, Soros has always had contact with liberals. He's a liberal donor, but apparently one attendee at one of these Soros operations there was Karen Greenaway, the FBI supervisor in charge of international fraud, and one of the lead agents in the
Starting point is 00:33:04 Manafort investigation in Ukraine. Wow. So an FBI agent who's a supervisor involved with the Manafort investigation has got some dealings with this Soros group. That's fascinating. She attended multiple events and won glowing praise in a social media group from ANTAC. Again, the Soros affiliated group, their executive director. In one event during 2016, the FBI agent Greenway and Ambassador Yovanovitch, oh, wow, participated alongside
Starting point is 00:33:31 ANTAC's executive director, Daria Kaliniuk, and Yud Lutsenko, the former prosecutor general, was also present. The message was clear at the event show. The embassy supported ANTAC,
Starting point is 00:33:44 the Soros-affiliated group, folks. Wow. It goes on. The FBI actually confirmed Greenway's contact with the Soros group, saying they were part of her investigative work. Quote, in furtherance to the FBI's mission in the course of their duties, FBI employees routinely travel and participate in public forums in an official capacity. At a minimum, all such travel and speaking in public forums in an official capacity at a minimum all such travel
Starting point is 00:34:05 and speaking engagements are authorized by the employee's direct supervisor and can receive authorization all the way up to the division head blah blah blah blah karina what happens green away uh greenaway leaves her job and later joins the executive board of that group follow me the democrats randomly bring up soros in context of the fake Ukraine whistleblower, fake whistleblower, fake impeachment hoax. Fiona Hill, the so-called Russia expert, automatically jumps out and says, any criticism of George Soros
Starting point is 00:34:35 will be deemed as anti-Semitic, Joe. Don't look, in other words, what are they saying, Joe? Don't look at Soros. We will call you anti-Semitic. Ignore that. Ignore, by the way, that is so stupid. are they saying joe don't look at soros we will we will call you anti-semitic ignore that ignore by the way that is so stupid that is one of the dumbest things any leftist propagating the myth that criticism of a liberal donor's role in a foreign government's affairs it's now being used
Starting point is 00:34:58 to impeach the president is anti-semitic ignore that is it's asinine and beneath the dignity of even the lowest level human being. It is a scare tactic only. Don't look at Soros. We'll call you anti-Semitic. We now know Soros, his groups had a role in funding Antac. We know there's a signed letter by Ukrainian officials testifying to impeach Trump, George Kent and others, suggesting that Antac shouldn't be prosecuted by the Ukrainians for any potential corruption or anything. And we now know the FBI had a supervisor
Starting point is 00:35:34 working with the group who later leaves to go to literally work with the group, Antac. Oh, it gets better. Oh, yeah. we're never done here and another john solomon piece he talks about the targeting of a george soros enemy opponent business uh opponent business rival i'll tie it together don't you worry another john solomon piece here about the targeting of a guy named
Starting point is 00:36:05 Demetrio Firtash. I see you looking confused over there. You okay? My wife is like, she's sitting there in a corner like, I don't know. Do I have that? She's like this. You okay? Everything all right.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Thank you very much. You can leave that in, by the way. This is the best part of the show. This is real. This is enough from another John Solomon piece. The U.S. Embassy pressed Ukraine to drop probe of George Soros during 2016 election. That's the headline. Ukraine, behind the scenes advice and support to Ukrainian partner and tax efforts to generate
Starting point is 00:36:35 corruption litigation in Europe and the U.S. respecting state assets stolen by senior Ukrainian leaders. This is a memo that was written. The memo included a chart of Ukrainians. Listen, listen, listen. This memo included a chart of Ukrainians. Listen, listen, listen. This memo included a chart of Ukrainians the Soros team wanted to have pursued, including some with ties to Manafort.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Senior U.S. law enforcement officials confirmed to Solomon from the piece that the early kleptocracy collaborations inside Ukraine led to highly visible U.S. actions against the oligarch Dmitry Firtash, a major target of the Soros group and Manafort. Firtash is now represented by Hillary Clinton lawyer Lanny Davis and former U.S. attorney Dan Webb. Follow me. Follow me. So Soros's group,
Starting point is 00:37:25 which is working with the FBI and the U S S a U S embassy in Ukraine, the same people at the embassy targeting Trump for impeachment. Now Soros is working with them. The embassy's insisting Soros's group, not be prosecuted. They're working closely with this FBI agent. And now we find out that the Soros group really dislikes this guy
Starting point is 00:37:47 Dimitri Ofertash where have we heard the name Dimitri Ofertash before where have we heard that oh Glenn Simpson's movie script piece from 2007 yes 2007 that he wrote in the Wall Street Journal
Starting point is 00:38:03 we can see it here which we bring up all the time on the, titled How Lobbyists Help Ex-Soviet's Woo Washington. So Glenn Simpson, back in 2007, when he was a journalist, ladies and gentlemen, expressed a real interest in Russia issues and things like that. He also was fascinated by this guy by the name of, oh, that's right, Dmitry Firtash. He says in 2002, 2005, 2003, 2005, excuse me, Mr. Firtash brokered several billion dollar deals between Gazprom
Starting point is 00:38:35 and the government of Ukraine. They netted big profits for high rocking criticisms from the U.S. ambassador to the Ukraine at the time for the deal's lack of transparency. So let's tie this little bow around as we get to a few more little nuggets here. Yeah. Now we know the U.S. embassy doesn't want Soros' group prosecuted. They've signed the letter.
Starting point is 00:39:00 I'm sorry to keep going, but it's important you understand this. You know, the FBI is involved and has some connections to the group. Someone goes to actually work there afterwards, Soros' group. We know Soros really can't stand this guy Firtash and wants him prosecuted. And we know Glenn Simpson, who I believe is one of the authors of the dossier used to target Trump, had taken an interest in Firtash a long time ago, back in 2007. So we know Soros doesn't like Firtash and we know Glenn Simpson doesn't either. Ladies and gentlemen, maybe explains given Soros and their liberal groups influence in the Democrat party, how Hillary Clinton came to hire Glenn Simpson to write up
Starting point is 00:39:36 the dossier against Trump, a guy who had already expressed an interest in a person George Soros really can't stand. Oh, you don't think Soros can't stand? You think I'm making that up? From John Solomon's other piece. Here's a great little snippet about the relationship between Firtash and Soros, who again becomes the subject of Glenn Simpson's ongoing attacks. Demetrio Firtash. I don't know Firtash.
Starting point is 00:39:59 I have no idea. I've never met him personally. All I can tell you is George Soros doesn't like him, and Glenn Simpson doesn't either. Here's another piece by John Solomon. George Soros' secret 2016 access to the State Department exposes the big money hypocrisy of Democrats. George Soros' certainly big money
Starting point is 00:40:14 has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to liberal causes from the piece. For example, one DOJ investigation in 2014 targeted Ukrainianrainian oligarch dimitri of furtash he and soros listen to this both have significant energy interest maybe their competitors in europe and rival plans to rebuild ukraine after furtash's indictment soros's business announced plans to invest 1 billion in Ukraine wow since then significant problems have arisen with the DOJ's case thwarting efforts to extradite Firtash to the U.S. for trial
Starting point is 00:41:13 okay so now we find out we're not supposed to talk about soros because the democrats seemingly out of the blue say now you will be considered an anti-semite a charge so utterly and completely ridiculous from a party so hell-bent on what seems to be the destruction of Israel at this point? Not all, but a lot of them. Yeah. Are you insane? Why are they doing that? Because as we know, Soros' group now, the Ukrainian ambassador over there and the charge and others said, well, you may not want to prosecute them because they were being looked at for potential illegality in Ukraine. Don't prosecute them. We now know the FBI was involved. We know Soros didn't like this guy, Dmitry Ofertash, and wanted him prosecuted.
Starting point is 00:41:54 We now know it's his business rival. We know the DOJ wound up opening a case against Dmitry Ofertash. And we now know that Glenn Simpson took a special interest in Furtash too. Here comes the coup de grace. Well, what happens, ladies and gentlemen? Donald Trump gets elected to the surprise and chagrin of just about every media person on the planet
Starting point is 00:42:20 outside of Fox. Donald Trump gets elected and the FBI realized it's got a big problem. It's got a fake dossier on its hands. It's got a do not prosecute list out there. It not only has a do not prosecute list, do not prosecute Soros' group, but it's got a list from Soros and a memo stating that you may want to look at my business rival, Dimitri Ofertash, which they already opened up a case against Dimitri Ofertash. A case, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, that has completely fallen apart. The case was based on a potential bribery and the slide, I'm not going to get into the
Starting point is 00:43:02 details because it's complex, but I'll leave you with this nugget. The slide they were basing the case on of a PowerPoint presentation that seemed to indicate bribery was not a bribery slide at all. It was based on a hypothetical by a consulting firm who had put it together. In other words, what if someone tried to bribe you? It wasn't Firtash's firm saying, go bribe people. The case is completely falling apart. So Soros' business rival, who we're not supposed to look at Soros now, is under prosecution for the DOJ.
Starting point is 00:43:33 He becomes a central figure in Glenn Simpson's operation, the dossier, and elsewhere. Soros is not to be prosecuted. Soros is recommending his guy, his opponent, Furtash, be prosecuted. They have to make this all go away. The dossier, they don't want Firtash talking. Firtash suspects he's claiming he's innocent. Obviously, he says he's done nothing wrong.
Starting point is 00:43:57 He's been targeted by the Department of Justice. Folks, they can't have that story out there. Oh, so what happens? Like magic. All of a sudden media matters another start putting out these stories if you talk about soros you will be accused of being an anti-semite it magically appears again a testimony and fiona hill yes the uh protocols of zion what are you talking about look at this little gem though the the cherry on top, another Solomon piece. How Mueller deputy Andrew Weissman's offer to an oligarch could boomerang on the Department
Starting point is 00:44:34 of Justice? Let me guess. Mueller's team figures out quickly, as you can read in my second book, Exonerated, where I detail how Mueller knows instantaneously he's investigating a hoax. So Mueller's job becomes, Joe, from the start, what? Mueller's job becomes to cover up this entire scandal. Yes. Entire scandal. But they can't have Firtash talking
Starting point is 00:45:00 about how he's been targeted by George Soros in conjunction with Glenn Simpson and others because it'll bring down the whole Spygate thing. So what happens? Furtash's team like magic is approached by Andy Weissman. This is crazy, Joe, from the Solomon piece. Quote, the ink was still drying on special counsel Bob Mueller's appointment papers when his chief deputy, the famously aggressive and occasionally controversial prosecutor Andy Weissman, made a bold but secret overture in early June of 2017. Weissman quietly reached out to the American lawyers for Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Fash. With a tempting offer, Joe. Give us some dirt on Donald Trump and the Russia case,
Starting point is 00:45:49 and Team Mueller might make this 2014 criminal charge against him go away. How about that? How about that? Yes. How about that? How about that? Folks, let's just return to the beginning. Nothing, nothing the Democrats do is by chance.
Starting point is 00:46:14 They are involved in the biggest big money influence operation that morphed into spying, that morphed into fake whistleblower gate in human history. A liberal mega donor, George Soros, and a group he was involved in that was suspected by Ukrainian authorities of some illicit activity. Cases against them were squashed in a letter you just saw by our own officials overseas working for a liberal administration under Barack Obama. They got caught with their do not prosecute list. The liberal mega donor they're trying to get off suggested that his business rival who had a rival plan for Ukraine be prosecuted,
Starting point is 00:47:01 who was by the Obama administration 2014 on a faulty, flawed case. Trump gets elected. This do not prosecute list and everything comes out, including the influence of Soros on the State Department and elsewhere. They panic. That's anti-Semitic. Nothing to do with that at all.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Total, complete farce. They're making that up. And then they go to Firtash and offer him a deal to kind of make this whole thing go away to which Firtash says, no thanks. Oh, by the way, Firtash is the same guy who appears in the 2007 movie script article by Glenn Simpson in the Wall Street Journal in an influence operation piece.
Starting point is 00:47:38 And Firtash is one of the same guys that continually appears in Simpson's ongoing dossier narrative used to spy on Trump. You think maybe some of these groups that were dealing with these liberal groups and donors like Soros and Hillary were like, hey, go to Simpson. He doesn't like that Firtash guy either. What a way to kill two birds with one stone. They can offer to Firtash. He'll shut up. He just wants his case to go away. You didn't hear that anywhere else, did you?
Starting point is 00:48:04 you didn't hear that anywhere else did you by the way the more media matters panics about conversations about sorrows i'm warning them the more i'm going to quadruple quintuple and sextuple down on my coverage of his involvement this entire thing that is a. I take it to the bank and cash that check. You will not, I am not one sliver of a hair length of iota of fear of you imbued in me or any of my audience.
Starting point is 00:48:32 None. You have only encouraged me by your protestations to look deeper into a case I know scares the living out of you. I got more, including a troubling story. I'm going to wink at a nod here about the Trump family.
Starting point is 00:48:49 What? Really? Oh, my gosh. Stay tuned. You're not going to want to miss this. This is deeply true. I haven't let Joe in on this. Paula kind of had a little bit of an idea, but Joe doesn't.

Starting point is 00:50:29 Check it out today. Okay. All right. I know you're going to be like, gosh, I don't know why he's reporting this. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to read you. I'm going to read from my phone here, and it's for a reason. You'll see why in a moment. from my phone here and it's for a reason you'll see why in a moment disturbing story um about eric trump yeah maybe eric trump let's do that let me read this to you so washington examiner
Starting point is 00:50:54 an investment firm linked to eric trump received over 130 million in federal bailout loans by his father donald trump was president and routed profits to a subsidiary in the Cayman Islands, according to federal banking and corporate records reviewed by the Washington Examiner. Financial experts say the offshore corporate structure could have been used to shield earnings from U.S. taxes. Oh, my gosh. Big trouble for the Trump family, Joe.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Folks, what's the problem with that? Can we all agree that's big trouble for the liberals are celebrating right now like oh they got him now but it sure sounds big huge it's bad it is joe sounds bad yeah uh the problem is i lied to you that is not the article the article from the washington examiner is actually about hunter Biden. Now the liberals are like, no, no, no, no, no, now it's cool. No, Joe, now it's cool. So here's the article, youtube.com slash Bungie. Now let me read it to you again accurately
Starting point is 00:51:51 because liberals now are changing them. Now all of a sudden they think this is great. An investment firm linked to Hunter Biden received over 130 million in federal bailout loans while his father, Joe Biden, was vice president and routed profits to a subsidiary in the Cayman Islands, according to the federal banking and corporate records reviewed by the Washington Examiner.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Financial experts say the offshore corporate structure could have been used to shield earnings from U.S. taxes. Now, all of a sudden, it was like, no, no, no. When it was Eric Trump, it was really bad. It's not Eric Trump. And forgive me, Eric, but I only i only did that i think as you would agree to accentuate the point about what complete colossal frauds liberals are hunter biden was obviously using his dad's name to leverage all sorts of business opportunities
Starting point is 00:52:39 in places known for corruption and elsewhere and nobody cares but right-leaning media liberals don't care at all because they have no principles at all right you heard about eric a lot of you thought man he's in real trouble i bet the liberals too nothing to do with eric trump it's a hunter biden piece therefore liberals don't give a damn there you go ridiculous all right i only got a few minutes, so let's motor through this stuff. You know, can I be candid with you for a moment? I can.
Starting point is 00:53:11 I mean, Paul, I don't like you, but I'll do it anyway. Our show has done great this week. It's still going to be our most listened to week ever because Monday, Tuesday,
Starting point is 00:53:19 Wednesday. Folks, I think people are losing interest in this impeachment fiasco. It's a total farce. Nobody cares. Fox's ratings are high, but they're still down at the end of the week. It's just been a total joke.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Candidly, folks, I'm tired of it. That's why I didn't cover it in the beginning of the show today. I mean, although I mentioned Chris, it's more about Soros and his involvement in Spygate than it was about the impeachment farce. It's a joke. It's a joke. It's a scam. And I could tell some of the shows yesterday, people just tired of it.
Starting point is 00:53:44 Having said that, though, that's why I'm covering it at the end today. There were some important takeaways now that it's over. It's quick. I want to play for you some video. First, I just want to play kind of funny thing on a Friday. This is going to be our honorary news explosion. Now that it's not on Tucker anymore on Friday night. Friday, we'll have to do an honorary news explosion segment.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Here is, I mean, a complete goof. I i'm sorry but it's true chris cuomo from cnn remember david holmes the guy who testified at the impeachment hearing he said i overheard the guy wasn't on speakerphone but i overheard trump talking to gordon sonlin and he seemed to have a magical hearing ability remember every single detail so goofy chris cuomo at cnn says you know listen of course you can overhear people not on speakerphone. And he puts that to the test. And just I mean, you want to talk about like palm to face. Just check this out. This stupidity. Very interesting theory from our president that he has really good hearing. Some would say the best hearing ever. And he's never been able to hear a phone call when it wasn't
Starting point is 00:54:45 on speakerphone from anybody so let's just play with that for a second mom can you hear me all right so if I were holding the phone here I'm with Dan Abash you know how you're always telling me to let her talk because she's so smart and I shouldn't say so much. Can you just say hello? Mom, she probably can't hear me. Mom, can you hear me? Yes, I hear you. When you talk to me, I hear you.
Starting point is 00:55:13 I'm talking to you. Say hello to Dana Bash. Hi, Mrs. Cuomo. How are you? Oh. All right. I can't hear your mother, Chris. You're over there. I'm sitting across the table.
Starting point is 00:55:26 This is not on speakerphone. I'm sitting across the table. It's not on speakerphone. It's regular phone. It's two feet away from Dana. She can hear my mother. I'm not sure mom can hear us. Mom, thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Thank you for not saying anything that will get me in trouble. I'll call you back. I love you. All right. Oh. Oh, my God. Can someone like, I need to have like leeches put on my body to cleanse my blood after being exposed to this exponentially growing amount of stupid every day.
Starting point is 00:55:55 Cuomo on the air. Joe, you were in live radio for a long time. Am I right in saying never ask a question you don't already know the answer to and never do something you don't know the outcome for, right? You don't say like on the air, like, I'm going to do this experiment with a hammer. I saw on YouTube, a guy put a watermelon on his head and a dude smashed it with a hammer and it didn't make it all the way through. So it didn't hurt the guy. So let's try and he knocks the guy out with it. You just don't do it. So of course, Donald Trump and Gordon Sondland, which David
Starting point is 00:56:25 Holmes, this bureaucrat I discussed yesterday, claims he heard the whole thing. He wasn't on speaker. So Chris Cuomo puts it to the test and basically proves Donald Trump right because they can't actually hear anything. Yeah. I don't even have a drop for that. We don't.
Starting point is 00:56:41 It's not even worth a mutley. We don't have a drop for that. Because there's not enough mutleys for that it would be like seven or eight straight mutleys which at the end of the show would take up 10 minutes thank you joe you're right it's not even worth it we need a drop for that of your voice saying i don't even have a drop for that because that's how bad this crap is yeah oh dano dano Yeah. Oh, Dano. Dano. Here's Johnny Ratcliffe, excellent congressman from Texas, calling out bionic hearing six million dollar man David Holmes, who managed to hear an entire conversation not on speakerphone from many feet away. Calling him. Keep in mind, Ratcliffe calls me. He only seems to remember the stuff he's making up about Trump that sounds bad when it's the other stuff.
Starting point is 00:57:24 He's like, no, no, I didn't hear any of of that check this evisceration up on the hill out what was the first thing the president said on the call he's the this was you had a clear recollection of this conversation yes sir please mr holmes answer yes Sondland greeted the president. How? He said, hello, Mr. President, I'm in Kiev. And the president said, are you in Ukraine? You think he said, I think you're in Ukraine? He said what? He said, are you in Kiev, Ukraine? What did you hear President Trump say about ASAP Rocky?
Starting point is 00:58:06 I did not hear President Trump's side of the conversation about ASAP Rocky. You said, how did we go from the conversation was very loud and his voice was recognizable to, as you say here, when the conversation shifted, I could only hear Ambassador Sondland's side of the conversation. Yes, sir. As I have testified, the initial part of the call, Ambassador Sondland, sort of when the president came on the call, he sort of winced and held the phone away from his ear for the initial portion of the call. And then at some point in the call, he stopped doing that. And I don't know why. I don't know if he turned the volume down. I don't know if the president spoke more quietly. I don't know if he got used to the volume. I don't know what changed.
Starting point is 00:58:47 What did change? It's's important this was memorable i don't know sir it was master songland stopped moving the phone away from his ear that's that's what it was yes okay for real this is real this is real testimony so the guy has bionic hearing he can hear a phone not on speaker from feet away he hears it in detail it was memorable and the minute the conversation changes away from his allegations that make trump look bad into asap rocky which you make trump look at he's no i didn't hear any of that no no i don't know what happened the phone changed but yeah that happens all the time the phone magically changes volume oh folks this thing could not have went any worse for the dims yesterday. Listen, in the interest of you not losing any more brain cells, I had a comment. I'm just going to play one more quick.
Starting point is 00:59:29 It's not from the... This is Nancy Pelosi yesterday, and this is important. And we'll leave with this because it's some good news for the end of the week. Nancy Pelosi is having very serious buyer beware, caveat emptor. She does... I'm telling you, she's freaking out. Buyer beware and buyer's remorse about decisions she made and decisions she's going to have to make going forward about this impeachment fiasco.
