Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. Listen, I ran for office. I lost three times. That's a lot of losing when you run for office. Writing a whole book about failing and losing and getting your ass back up and dusting off and kind of learning from it. and losing and getting your ass back up and dusting off and kind of learning from it. But what happened in Chicago last night, where the current mayor, Lori Lightfoot, got the boot right to the caboose, she lost in the primary, there's going to be a runoff now. There's going to be a runoff between the top two contenders. She failed to take into account the most important lesson in politics, which you should never forget if you're a citizen, an activist, or someone planning to

running for office. That is all, all politics are local. All politics are local. You can talk all the smack you want about any national issue you'd like, China, Ukraine, Medicare, Social Security, regulations, green energy, ESG. The minute it kicks someone in the nuts at their own kitchen table, you will find out right quick that your political career is going to be the one taking a kick. All politics are local. And Lori Lightfoot forgot about the most local issue possible. We'll get to that in a second. Welcome to the Dan Bongino Show. Today's show brought to you by our friends at ExpressVPN.

You know the Biden infrastructure bill that Congress passed some time ago? Do you know this? Here's show brought to you by our friends at ExpressVPN.

All right, Joseph, let's go.

It is showtime, Daniel. So lightweight out in Chicago, got the boot, the big boot in the caboose. See you later. She forgot that all politics are local. And as I said to you before, our brief interlude there, the most local issue possible, folks, is crime. How many times do I have to tell this story about my experience in New York City? I don't want to even where you've heard it so many times, but I lived through the New York City crime wave. New York City, where Democrats outnumbered Republicans at the time in the 80s, between six and eight to one. It may have been higher, but I'll be generous. Let's say it was six to one, right? There was almost no chance of any kind of Republican winning. We had nearly

3,000 homicides in New York City in one year. All of a sudden, Rudy Giuliani runs. He loses. He loses by a sliver and everybody goes, forget it. City's over. It's finished. This is why I never give up on the United States. Of course, there were 3,000 more, then 2,000 and 3,000. The homicide rate went crazy. Eventually, people saw their own neighbors dead and then their own kids getting robbed. And all of a sudden, you had a renaissance of two terms of Mayor Giuliani who won re-election by, I think it was 14 to 18 points. Lori Lightfoot,

she forgot the most valuable lesson in the world. All politics are local, which makes my point again, when you're ready to give up because you think, gosh, we need a national divorce. Liberals are really stupid. I'm ready to give up on the United States.

Don't do it. We were ready to give up in 1984, Ronald Reagan too. He won reelection. He won 49 states. The comeback is about to happen. You got to be optimistic. You got to be. What other alternative do we have? Having said that, yesterday's show generated a lot of buzz. We asked the question about a national divorce buzz we asked the question about a national divorce and we answered the question about what a national divorce would look like i came to the conclusion as i will again today that it's a really really bad idea you can listen to yesterday's show for all the details as to why i make my case i fairly give the pros to a national divorce the cons to a national divorce and i let you you, the educated listener which you are, you make your own decisions.

I gave you my opinion. That doesn't mean it's gospel. I think it's a really bad idea. However, I understand why a lot of people feel that way. Why they feel the need to escape the almost vacuum-sucking-like grasp of liberal stupidity we have to live with every day. So I thought the perfect correlate to yesterday's show would be a show about liberals being really dumb, because they are. Some guy tweeted to me yesterday, Dan, how do you expect me to ever watch your show?

I'm a liberal. You're telling me you're dumb all the time. I don't. I don't care if you watch my show. I don't know why you think I care. I don't care one bit. I'm trying to expose you, not court you. Did you not get that?

People want a national divorce because they can't believe we have to live with genuinely stupid people. So I feel like, and you probably feel like as well, that I should lay out the case, the evidence that these people really are either dopey or liars. Now, for the sake of this show, I'm not talking about the communist socialist tacticians in the liberal party who aren't stupid. They're very smart. What they're doing is deliberate. I'm talking about the useful idiot liberal lemmings that follow along with them. Here's a video. Listen, this is long for the show. It's about two minutes.

We usually try to keep it to a minute 30 or less for obvious reasons. But it's worth your time. Dr. Marty Makary, who was good on COVID, really good on COVID. You've probably seen him on Fox. He's been on my Fox show quite a bit. He was up on Capitol Hill yesterday. Again, he's an actual medical doctor at Johns Hopkins, very smart guy. I know Marty well. And Marty's up on Capitol Hill and he's like, you know, you public health guys, how did you manage to get just about every single thing wrong? And despite that, it matters not.

Don't be liberals who we are forced to live with. I understand why you want a national divorce. Still put their faith in these morons with their money, higher taxes and everything else, despite getting nearly everything wrong on COVID. This is the most important two minutes on COVID you're going to hear. Take a listen. The greatest perpetrator of misinformation during the pandemic has been the United States government. Misinformation that COVID was spread through surface transmission, that vaccinated immunity was far greater than natural immunity, that masks were effective. Now we have the definitive Cochrane review. What do you do with that review? Cochrane is the most

authoritative evidence body in all of medicine and has been for decades. Do you just ignore it, not talk about it? That myocarditis was more common after the infection than the vaccine. more common after the infection than the vaccine. Not true. It's four to 28 times more common after the vaccine. The young people benefit from a booster. Misinformation. Our two top experts on vaccines quit the FDA in protest over this particular issue, pushing boosters in young, healthy people. The data was never there. That's why the CDC never disclosed hospitalization rates among boosted Americans under age 50. The vaccine mandates would increase vaccination rates. The George Mason University study shows it didn't. It did one thing. It created never-vaxxers who are now not getting the childhood vaccines they need to get.

Over and over again, we've seen something that goes far beyond using your best judgment with the information at hand. We've seen something which is unforgivable, and that is the weaponization of medical research itself. That is the weaponization of medical research itself. The CDC putting out their own shoddy studies, like their own study on natural immunity, looking at one state for two months when they had data for years on all 50 states. Why did they only report that one sliver of data? Why did they salami slice the giant database? Because it gave them the result they wanted. Same with masking study.

Well, the data has now caught up in giant systematic reviews, and public health officials were intellectually dishonest. They lied to the American people. Thank you. Probably the most important two minutes on COVID you're ever going to hear answers the question pretty simply. Why would large swaths of America want a national divorce? Because they want to get away from the imbeciles. The imbeciles that may have cost them long-term, may have cost

them their health. The one thing you can't get back when the damage is done from either the vaccine or from other things they were lied to about by the so-called scientists and liberal media idiots. Folks, why do people want a national divorce? They don't want to live with stupid people anymore. And the king of the stupids is the rotting bag of oatmeal in the White House, who just unbelievably continues to shamelessly lie to a class of Borg-like Star Trek useful idiots who believe everything this moron says, despite the fact you have an internet out there,

you could go to and easily access the fact that this man is a liar. Here he is yesterday. He doesn't even know the difference between billions and trillions anymore because he's a rotting bag of oatmeal with a brain that doesn't even function correctly anymore. Here he is ridiculously claiming that he reduced the debt. He means 1.7 trillion, even though he doesn't even get that right. He says billion, trillion even though he doesn't even get that right he says billion which he's totally making up take a listen in two years i reduced the debt 1.7 billion dollars 1.7 billion dollars it won its trillion again the guy is just so ridiculously cognitively impaired.

But it's not just that. Even apologizing for him, which I shouldn't do because he doesn't know brilliance versus trillions anymore. He's lying. He is making this whole thing up. Folks, they have a statistics site. If you ever want a completely nonpolitical site that just does statistics, go to Statista. So here's the debt of the United States over the last few years. Now, Biden just said he reduced it by $1.7 billion, although he meant trillion.

Okay. So Joe, you have the abacus, Jay's abacus out. Remember Jay's abacus? Can you grab that? Yeah, let me go get that bad boy. I just want you to know, because I'm going to need some, this is complicated math. So in 2020, our debt is $26.9 trillion. In 2021, our debt is $28.4 trillion.

And in 2022, the last year we have full data, it's $30.9 trillion. Now, Joe, flip it around that abacus. I'm going to ask you a very simple question. It's a yes or no. If you need a minute to move it around and move the numbers, I understand. Is $30.9 trillion, which is our debt this year, greater than

or less than $28.4 trillion? I know you're struggling, man. That's why Jay's abacus i know it's greater dude around it's great okay it's greater he's double checking on a calculator he confirms it checks out which is weird because it looks like our national debt actually went up dramatically under biden despite him again just saying it went down by 1.7 trillion.

Now, to all the people out there, where did he get that? The same place he gets every single bull things he met. The lie factory in his cerebral cortex. The guy's a freaking liar. He's always been a fraud and a liar. Folks, he has always been a fraud and a liar.

His entire life. He is a scam artist. He is nothing more than a three-card Monty 1980s Times Square fraudster. That's what he is. He has always been that person. The man has zero character at all but that's not the point now the point isn't about specifically Biden it's about why we want a national divorce even though I think it's a bad idea I'm telling you I get it I understand because people don't want to live with idiots

Because people don't want to live with idiots. Here is a guy who hilariously had a show called Reliable Sources. You want to talk about, again, the monarch of idiots in the media, a guy who no longer has a job because he was even too dumb for CNN. This is one of the single dumbest human beings outside of Joy Reid to ever get a show on television, Brian Stelter. Because he's desperate to keep his face anywhere in the media now. Because he got humiliated by losing a job. Think of how bad you have to be to lose a job at CNN.

Don Lemon still has a job at CNN. And this idiot got fired. Here's Brian Stelter. He's on a podcast. Again, just making things up and useful idiot libs will be like, yeah, man. Because they're morons. Suggesting that they never directly said that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Oh, really?

Here, take a look. A lot of the lies that happen now about what happened in 2020 go like this. They say, all these assholes, they all call it a disinformation. That's not true. A lot of us just wondered, we said out loud, could this be? We said things like, some former US officials think it might be, and it was always cushioned. It was not always, it was often cushioned that way. often cushioned that way. And now in retrospect, two years later, three years later, people like partisans like to pretend that it was labeled disinformation, which it wasn't. CNN reported on Friday that U.S. authorities are seeing if those emails we just talked about are connected to an ongoing Russian disinformation effort. The information found on the laptop may be part of a Russian disinformation campaign. Foreign intelligence operation.

For all we know, these emails are made up. Partisans like to pretend that it was labeled disinformation, which it wasn't. Part of a Russian disinformation effort. Described by many intelligence experts as having hallmarks. All the hallmarks, rather. All the hallmarks of a Russian. Russian disinformation. Russian disinformation.

Disinformation campaign. This is a classic example of the right wing media machine. Partisans like to pretend that it was labeled disinformation, which it wasn't. Again, I don't support a formal national divorce, but believe me, I get it. I totally get why you would want to divorce yourself from the imbecile class. Again, it's not that Brian Stelter is dumb. That's the point of this. I mean, that's not breaking new. I'm not going to waste your time on my show for that. The point is there is a large portion of liberal America. I'm talking about tens of millions of people who still, despite the ease and ability of just going to your phone or computer and researching any of this yourself, believes all of this.

Biden reduced the debt. They never called it Russian disinformation. That the Wuhan coronavirus lab didn't leak the Wuhan coronavirus into Wuhan. the Wuhan coronavirus into Wuhan, despite the Chinese Communist Party trying to cover it up and deleting gene sequences from a database that would indicate it's true. They still, they can't accept the obvious

because we're living with imbeciles. Now their latest line of attack, because they're embarrassed and humiliated. I'm talking about the voting liberals, not the tacticians in the liberal side who don't really care about lying at all. They care about hierarchy. Their latest line of attack about the Department of Energy leak, leak about the COVID lab leak being the most likely explanation, which is fairly obvious if you're not an imbecile, which is you in the audience, you're the smart people. Their latest line of attack is, well, what does the Department of Energy know?

What is it? Which is really weird because, again, this is where I fail to understand liberals. Whereas I question government authority all the time. Matter of fact, I question you guys remember on Monday wasn't that long ago. I even questioned the timing of the leak from the Department of Energy. So I'm skeptical, inherently skeptical of everything from collected organized power because it tends to be abused. Lord Acton was right. Not liberals. Right. Liberals are only skeptical of government when it suits their narrative du jour. So now liberals that have their lips surgically attached to the ass, sewn to the ass of big government.

Now that the Department of Energy, which is part of the big government they kiss the ass of, has said, hey, this was probably a lab leak. All of a sudden, they don't trust the Department of Energy, which is weird because as Jim Garrity notes in National Review, they have a branch that specializes in weapons of mass destruction and biological weapons such as viruses. weapons of mass destruction and biological weapons such as viruses.

What would they know about a virus lab potentially used as a bioweapon? I don't know. They specialize in bioweapons labs. But don't worry. Don't worry. They tell you they love big government, except when big government tells them something, they're not because they're morons. Okay.

Love big government, except when big government tells them something, they're not because they're morons. Okay. This is, again, one of the knights of the round table of stupid, along with Brian Stelter and their commander, Joe Biden, the commander in chief of the imbecile army. Here is one of their scions, the Mount Olympus, Greek gods of stupid, Stephen Colbert. Here's Colbert. He has a nightly show, which is an Greek gods of stupid, Stephen Colbert. Here's Colbert. He has a nightly show, which is an embarrassing mess of stupidity. Remember the dance he did with the vaccine people? You keep vaccine yourself up, Colbert.

Go right ahead. Here he is. Again, this guy is a comedian and not even a good one. Claims to love big government. Again, questioning why the Department of Energy would come to this conclusion and hilariously telling them to stay in their lane. This is great. The Department of Energy released a new report saying a lab leak is the most likely origin of the COVID-19 pandemic. Well, there it is.

Chinese wet markets, you're off the hook. Let's order a round of pangolin poppers for the table. I love a nice plate of wet apps. Now, if you're some can we get some civet fingers, please? Now, if like me, you're wondering why the Department of Energy is the one making this judgment, it's because that agency oversees a network of U.S. national laboratories, some of which conduct advanced biological research no no bad energy department no bio labs until you finish building your electric car charging stations stay in your lane stay in your lane the guy's a comedian at a failing late night show who routinely gets his ass kicked by Gutfeld on cable,

despite not even being on regular network, you know, bunny years TV. It's now, do you see why people want a national divorce? Here's another, I've never heard of this guy before. He has Hassan Minaj.

He apparently has a show on, and I'm not trying to be like that. Mariah Carey. I haven't heard. I remember Mariah Carey with the J show on. I'm not trying to be like that Mariah Carey. I haven't heard. Remember Mariah Carey with the J-Lo meme? I don't know her. I really don't know. It's not an insult to the guy.

I'm sure he's very popular in his group. He probably doesn't know me either. But this again, you have to understand, this is where liberals get their news. Colbert, reliable sources, Stelter, and the goon in the White House, Joe Biden, with a history of lying. And then you wonder why people want to divorce him. Here he is again. They love government, except when it's the Department of Energy telling them something they don't like. Check this out.

How can you conclude something with low confidence? That's not a conclusion. I think the word you're looking for is guess. By the way, conclusion with low confidence is such a f*** boy move. You know what I mean? Like you're dating someone and they go, babe, what are we? And you're like, Sarah, I can tell you for sure, I don't know. Which is fascinating because the natural zoonotic origin theory, sane people have no confidence in at all. But again, that would require you to use reason. Low confidence versus no confidence. Reason and evidence, there's a Wuhan coronavirus lab right near where the Wuhan coronavirus came from. These idiots are incapable of that.

And the audience laughs. Now you see why people want a national divorce from these morons? I don't agree with it, but I get it. Oh, I got more. I'm going to tell you what inspired me to talk about this today. A story that made me laugh. It happened right before I got on yesterday's radio show. First, LifeLock. I have LifeLock for my entire family. Protect your identity. I had my identity stolen. It was awful. If you've ever landed on a website that wasn't secure, it didn't seem legitimate because of spelling errors, unfamiliar colors or fonts, or just gave you a bad feeling, it may be part of what they call a farming attack. This tactic involves cyber thieves

installing malicious code on your computer, forces you to bogus websites where they can steal your personal information. It's important to understand how cyber crime and identity theft are affecting our lives. It affected mine. Your personal information gets exposed so often, making it dangerously easy for a cyber criminal to steal your identity. Protecting your identity can be easy with LifeLock by Norton. LifeLock detects and alerts you to potential identity threats you may not spot on your own, like loans taken out in your name or crimes committed by thieves pretending to be you. If you do become a victim of identity theft, a dedicated U.S.-based restoration specialist will work to fix it. Listen, no one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all

transactions at all businesses, but it's easy to help you protect yourself with LifeLock identity theft protection. It starts here. Join now. Save up to 25% off your first year. It's a big savings at LifeLock.com slash Bongino, B-O-N-G-I-N-O. That's LifeLock.com slash Bongino for 25% off. Don't wait. Had my identity stolen. It was awful. Took me about six months to clean it up. LifeLock.com slash Bongino for 25% off. Okay. So this is what inspired me to talk about this because I was talking about this national divorce story yesterday. Again, I encourage you to listen to it if you missed it. And these two stories popped at the same time doing my show prep for the next. I'm always doing show prep. The show prep for tomorrow starts after

this show today just because I like doing it. I saw the story in National Review by Carolyn Downey. Nicole Hannah-Jones, you know who she is she is the uh debunked discredited uh basically scammer who pushes this uh ridiculous 1619 project a historical abomination somehow suggesting the united states existed to protect slavery which is it's i mean it's so ahistorical that reading it makes you dumber so nicole hannah jones who was a spoiled grifter who has profited handsomely off the lie based on the 1619 project she got into a back and forth on twitter disputing american exceptionalism with a woman who survived mao's cultural revolution. I kind of think I'd defer to her judgment.

Survive like death and body bags in Mao's communist China. The cultural revolution experiment. I think she has the right to comment about American exceptionalism, don't you? Nicole Hannah-Jones and she is a hero on the all.

Anywhere she goes. Fetid, red carpets are out. Palm fronds. They love her. Here is another one that got me thinking about this. Shockingly, folks, this stuff is real. There's this woman, Sharice Trump. She has no relationship to Donald Trump at all.

By the way, stories are in the newsletter today, Bongino.com slash newsletter if you want to laugh. So her last name is Trump. Zero relationship to Donald Trump. Trinity University, they need her to get some security because she's an elevated risk. Does this not speak to the class of imbeciles we live with in this country and explain almost in total why a significant swath of America wants to divorce themselves from the moron class we live with now? Can you imagine walking into an event and someone there is the last name

Sanders? Oh, like Sarah Sanders or whatever it may be. And all of a sudden you lose your mind because she shares the same last name as Bernie Sanders. Do you, can you, can you fathom and grasp the level of phantom zone stupid you need to have

to have to have to do this and to say this, this is who we're living with here's another one again just like nicole hannah jones a woman adored by the left despite the fact that she runs a teacher's union that is the single most destructive force to young minds in modern American history. She runs an organization absolutely committed to destroying a generation of minority youth's potential to get an education and opportunity in the greatest country on earth. This woman has done more damage to American prosperity, arguably, than anyone alive today. Her name is Randi Weingarten.

She is a crazed lunatic. Here she is up in front of the Supreme Court, screaming like a wild person about how the government should tax Johnny to pay for Mary's student loans. And she makes possibly the dumbest point ever. Take a listen. I'll explain.

And frankly, and this is what really pisses me off. During the pandemic, we understood that small businesses were hurting. And we helped them. And it didn't go to the Supreme Court to challenge it. Big businesses were hurting. And we helped them. And it didn't go to the Supreme Court to challenge it. Big businesses were hurting. And we helped them. And it didn't go to the Supreme Court to challenge it. All of a sudden, when it's about our students, they challenge it.

The corporations challenge it. The student loan lenders challenge it. That is not right. That is not fair. And that is what we are fighting as well. When we say, cancel soda debt. Joe, he's afraid. He's afraid like people are slowly dying off from the cringe in this show,

listening to all these idiots. Folks, I can't do a show about a national divorce without explaining, if I disagree with it, without explaining why. And explaining why, I get it. I totally get it. One, this woman is a raving lunatic she is a crazy person she is committed to making sure black and hispanic families have zero opportunity in education she will that is a cross she will die on punishing your family she seems to have forgotten her analogy as to why I and you should pay off your neighbor's student loans

despite you having to pay off your own student loans too. Her logic is that the government shut down businesses during COVID and one of the dumbest economic moves in human history during the lockdowns. So therefore, because the government bailed out businesses, they unethically and

immorally shut down that I should have to pay Johnny's student loans. If you're scratching your head, like that appears like a non sequitur. That's because it is. Didn't get that. Now, if the government had, during COVID, kicked people out of colleges and told them, go home, you have to reapply later, and then they lost all their tuition money and their credits, then maybe I'd say, okay, the same stupid, screwed up government should probably compensate people for the mistake. But that's not what happened. But it doesn't matter. This raving wild woman, this absolute lunatic, is still worshipped as a scion of the left, despite her screwing your kids over

and lying to you in front of millions of people, making a correlation between two completely separate programs which share absolutely nothing in common. It doesn't matter. The left loves it. It doesn't matter. By the way, remember when we told you months ago, Biden's talking point about those 9,000 unused oil leases by the oil companies?

They're not using the leases we get to them. And we told you that was a lie. You're not wasting your time, folks. Again, February 27, 2023, Biden administration quietly admits White House's 9,000 unused oil permits talking point is wrong. It's so easy. You're like, like seriously three to six months ahead of the news cycle every time let me get to my next sponsor but folks he did it again biden he did it again this

stolen merit stolen civil rights valor thing he does if he's accurate and we haven't lost you yet because of the cringe we may lose you during the next segment because the cringe in this one it is thick man it is thick this is like the steel on an armored car thick let me get to this first one of my favorite sponsors liquid iv is a stick of liquid IV here.

the cringe factor it's that the man is again is an unrepentant liar. Now, one of the reasons we like to do deeper dives that liberals are in love with the idea of identity politics is because liberals know they can never get you to vote for them because everything they tell you is a lie. Randy Weingarten makes you believe she's in it for the kids. Joe Biden makes you believe he cut the debt. Brian Stelter makes you believe they never called the laptop Russian disinformation. I mean, nothing liberals tell you is true. So you're probably asking yourself, and you should, as a tactician yourself, well, how is it, Dan, that we lose national elections and we continue to lose seats in swing states? Fair enough. Because I'll tell you this, liberals are very good at one thing. They're good at distractions. And the distraction to them is

they never get you to vote for what they believe in. They get you to vote against the other guy. And one of the ways they do that is by constantly using race as a distraction. The fact that race relations in the United States were getting better before Barack Obama and Joe Biden is irrelevant for them. The division is the purpose because it keeps you occupied and busy. It's the biggest look, shiny red object of all time. Race, race, race. And it keeps black, Hispanic America and people suffering in mountainous regions of the United States who are white and every other color. It keeps them from thinking, hey, is the problem in my life government? It appears it is. Because they're focused on division and identity politics.

Biden loves this. on division and identity politics. Biden loves this. In order to gain that gravitas, that DC buzz term, that he's somehow some, you know, again, Greek god of civil rights activism, he continues to lie about his past. And the fact that no one on the left,

no one of significance on the left, has called him out loudly and boldly and demanded that he stop claiming he was a civil rights activist speaks to again the lemmings and useful idiots that they are here he is again just the other day claiming for the umpteenth thousand time falsely that he's a civil rights activist check this out you know uh i know most of those songs for a simple reason as my buddy from delaware can tell you when you're involved in the civil rights movement as a kid in high school,

I used to go down to the black church. I go to 730 Mass. I'm a practicing Catholic. Then I go to 10 o'clock. And then we sit and plan what we're going to do in terms of, you think I'm joking, I'm not. Okay, what's to tell, Joe, obviously? You think I'm joking, I'm not.

Yeah, of course. Yeah, of course. You think I'm joking. Whenever Joe Biden says not a joke, or you think I'm joking, it is absolutely a lie. Bet your right arm on it. Saw it off with a chainsaw if you're wrong. This dude is 100% lying. Folks, that story is fake. He does it to give himself credibility in the black and Hispanic and minority community so he can use race to distract you from all of his lies and failures that are screwing you in the black and Hispanic community over you.

You're getting screwed worse than anyone. Fox News from just yesterday, Biden's flamed for lying again that he attended a black church and fought segregation during his youth. All debunked lies. Folks, he's already said this. He claimed he used to help organize anti-segregation protests at this Baptist church in Delaware. So Fox One interviewed longtime congregants of the church who told the Free Beacon they didn't recall Biden attending the church. He's making this story up.

church. He's making this story up. Now, I have evidence, however, about Biden's history with civil rights as an anti-civil rights activist. Anti-civil rights? Really? You have evidence of that? You ever see this picture? It's a real picture. He was a civil rights activist. He was a civil rights activist. There's Joe Biden. There's former Ku Klux Klan's man, Senator Robert Byrd. It's a buddy right there. Look at that. There's your civil rights icon right there.

Wow. It's just a little slip of the tongue, Dan. He's just, you know, said he was a civil rights activist. Maybe he didn't mean it. Really? Here's Biden at a church. What year, not that long ago, claiming again that he is a civil rights activist, despite the fact that he is an anti-civil rights activist. Check this out. I have two political heroes. My entire life, when I started off as a 22-year-old kid, and he sighed as a civil rights movement. All kid in the East Side in the Civil Rights Movement.

All right, maybe that was a mistake. I mean, I don't know where Guy found that. Maybe it's just another slip of the tongue. Oh, Guy's saying he did it again? Did he? No, he did. He did it. Oh, this, Guy says he has something from Georgia.

This is a different month. Here's Biden again, falsely claiming somehow he was a civil rights activist for suckers who believe him. Check this out. I did not walk in the shoes of generations of students who walk these grounds. But I walked other grounds because I'm so damn old I was there as well. They think I'm kidding, man.

Seems like yesterday, the first time i got arrested anyway he was not arrested of course what's to tell what's to tell joe you think i'm kidding when he says you think i'm kidding i'm kidding every it's an absolute lie you can saw your right a bit your right arm he is lying how do i know he's lying Because he told us years ago that he's a artist. When people started to call him out on his ridiculous claims that despite campaigning with a Ku Klux Klansman and being on video, I should have played it, talking about my slate was a slave state. The guy's an anti-civil rights activist. He got called out on this decades ago. Doesn't matter. He continues to lie. Here, listen to

yourself. I was not an activist. I worked at an all-black swimming pool in the east side of Wilmington, Delaware. I was involved. I was involved in what they were thinking, what they were feeling. I was involved, but I was not out marching. I was not down in Selma. I was involved in what they were thinking, what they were feeling. I was involved, but I was not out marching. I was not down in Selma. I was not anywhere else. That was from the Trump team in the last election. Folks, what else do you need to hear? Why does large swaths of America want a national divorce from the imbecile class?

Because they're tired of it. They're not just tired of being lied to by swampy Republicans and Democrats. They're tired of living with people who buy nonsense like this, that the Ku Klux Klan campaign guy is somehow a major civil rights activist, despite him saying he's not and he wasn't. By the way, he said something really weird yesterday. Really weird. Maybe one of the weirdest things he's ever said. It involves whispering and smelling and breathing again. It was strange.

I got that. And then Christopher Wray, an interview with Brett Baer yesterday. Baer put him in a corner on this one question. And Wray, I'll get to it. It involves the first one. W Ray knows he's in trouble. Stay tuned. Our last sponsor, our friends at Field of Greens. I've been with Field of Greens and Brickhouse for a long time. They were actually my original sponsor.

All right, I just want to get to this quick and I don't want to waste a lot of time on it, but Biden said a lot of weird things. We we know that but this is one of the most bizarre things i've ever heard about some nurse who breathes on him and whispers in his ear folks the man is seriously cognitively compromised this is just bananas check this out and i had a nurse named pearl nelson military she'd come in and do things that I don't think you learn in medical school, nursing school. She'd whisper in my ear. I couldn't understand her. She'd whisper, she'd lean down. She'd actually breathe on me to make sure that there was a connection, human connection. Now we definitely lost. There's no one left on the live stream. Nobody.

There's so many. We're losing people by the way. That's it. They're all gone. She used to do things she didn't learn in medical school. Joe, you may want to keep that to yourself there, daddy. I don't know what you're talking about. And this is from the sniffer. So keep that in mind. I just thought I'd throw that in to show you again, how cognitively compromised this guy is.

By the way, one of the symptoms of cognitive disorders that involve dementia, frontal lobe deficits, is you lose your short-term memory first. Your long-term memory is the last thing to go. So it makes sense that this guy remembers vivid details of things that happened to him early in his life, but remembers almost nothing from yesterday, like the difference between billions and trillions. Okay, so Brett Baer interviewed disgraced hack FBIbi director christopher ray a humiliating human being to say the say the least um christopher ray probably worse than jim comey now we know that the fbi colluded via the san francisco field office and agent elvis chan with twitter to suppress

accounts on twitter now if you're saying to yourself last time i checked fellas the fbi is a branch of the u.s government correct can you guys fact check that? I'm getting a head nod from both of them. That sounds like a violation of the First Amendment. Now, we know that through the Twitter files, Matt Taibbi exposed it through internal Twitter emails, that they were getting pressure from the FBI to knock accounts off Twitter, which if it sounds like a First Amendment violation, it is. Now, I want you to keep in mind, Brett Baer asked Christopher Wray this question. Hey, were you guys pressuring Twitter?

I want you to keep in mind, because watch this disgrace of a human being, Wray, who just does a magic dance around the whole thing and never actually answers the question. I want you to keep in mind that the accounts in question that the FBI guys suggested they take off Twitter were not, in fact, Russian bot accounts, but were domestic. And Ray knows that. Keep that in mind as you hear his answer to the question. Check this out.

Let's talk about the FBI and what you told big tech or some agents did about the authenticity and providence of Hunter Biden's laptop. What about that from an FBI perspective? The FBI does not, is not in the business of functioning as the truth police. Understood. We don't tell social media companies to censor anything. Well, the Twitter file suggests something different. I mean, there was an FBI request numerous times. Taibbi puts it out, FBI San Francisco request to ban certain accounts.

request to ban certain accounts. Twitter personnel in this case went on to look for reasons to suspend all four accounts that the FBI wanted to ban or suspend. Is it appropriate to flag social media accounts on Twitter or elsewhere due to politics or government policies when it comes to COVID? Is it appropriate in any way? You're saying it doesn't happen, but there's evidence that it had. We don't tell social media companies to ban accounts. But you suggest. What we do is tell social media companies

about information that we have about foreign disinformation campaigns by foreign actors, by foreign intelligence services. And those companies then make decisions about what if anything they want to do about it folks this guy is such a disgusting liar he is such a disgusting liar he is so corrupt and pathetic you're you're dude you're caught we have your guy your fbi agent email Twitter, demanding or suggesting by gun and badge in

the FBI that these accounts be wiped out. They were not Russian disinformation accounts. He's just lying. Again, it doesn't matter. Useful idiots on the left who we need a national divorce from, according to some, will suck it right up because they love organized authority when it benefits them. But the man is lying, and I want to just throw this out there.

The reason I inserted this clip, you have a presidential primary heating up. It's widely assumed DeSantis is going to get in, Haley's in, Vivek, Donald Trump. The next president should commit to day one swearing in. The first thing they have to do is fire this imbecile. This guy is a disgrace to federal law enforcement. You are caught.

You lied. Just admit it and move on. A couple other things I want to get to, news stories. There were some revelations yesterday. Biden is now going to run, which is really kind of, I think, unprecedented on this scale since maybe Walter Mondale. Biden's planning on running for re-election on dramatic tax hikes in the economy,

which is a strange platform. I don't know if you remember, Joe, Mondale ran on that, and Mondale lost 49 out of 50 states because people generally don't like to flush their money down the toilet by giving it to government thieves. But Biden's going to run on this now. No, no, he's not. What evidence do you have of that? Well, Biden himself.

Take a listen. I want to make it clear. I'm going to raise some taxes. Well, there you go. You don't listen to me. You have to listen to Biden. Now, I like to pre bunk stuff, give you a little ammunition for the left, because one of the talking points they've used forever, Joe, remember this? I mean,

Joe's been with me the longest. We've been doing this eight years. They've been using this talking point forever. Now, again, the fact that it's false doesn't matter. Again, we live with imbeciles. It doesn't make a difference. They'll keep saying it. However, I will give you the ammunition to debunk the silly talking point. I'm telling you they're going to use. Mark the date. We haven't flagged something in a while, Joe. Flag it. Wednesday, March 1st, 849, if you will. Flag it. Thank you. Watch. The minute this argument starts to get steamed, Biden, we need higher taxes. The left's going to say, listen, the United States has prospered in the past with much higher tax rates.

They did. That's great because this is in the newsletter. I'd encourage you to check it out. Debunking the myth that the U.S. once prospered despite extremely high taxes. They trot this argument out all the time. They say the tax rate, man, used to be 91%. In the 50s and 60s, we were motoring, man. Things were going great. No, they're not wrong. That was a tax rate, man, used to be 91%. You know, in the 50s and 60s, we were motoring, man. Things were going great. Now, they're not wrong. That was a tax rate. It was 91%. The economy did do pretty

good. Coming out of the World War, it did all right. Here's what they don't tell you. Quote, the top income tax rate in 1962 was 91%. However, after deductions and credits, only 447 tax filers out of 71 million people paid any taxes at the top rate. The top 1% of income earners on average paid 16% of their income in federal and payroll taxes, while the top 10% paid 14.4% and the bottom 50 paid 7%. So when your dopey liberal friends you're eager to nationally divorce from tell you, they've got a whole bunch of good and higher taxes, you can tell them really, because nobody actually paid that. You're aware of that, correct? Only 447 people actually paid that rate out of 700 million. The average tax rate was actually 16%.

Don't let facts get in the way of your stupidity. Just a couple quick economic points too. And I'm going to get to one more quick thing about Christopher Wray in that FBI interview. Folks, global inflation is picking up again. Please do not think we're out of the woods. We are not. They printed trillions of dollars that as the economy starts to move, productivity hopefully starts to pick up. This money is going to, the velocity of it's going to pick up and you are going to see it filter into the economy. Please do not think we have

conquered the inflation beast. We have not. The United Kingdom, as you can see in this Reuters report, just saw a massive spike of 17% in the groceries. Spain just saw a huge hike. We're seeing an uptick here. Please don't think for a second we're done with this. Second, please read this article in my newsletter today from Semaphore. Finally, and I applaud some of the people on both sides of the aisle who are finally starting to address the social security nightmare we're looking at. I don't know if this show had anything to do with it,

but we've been sounding the alarm that you're looking at a 20% benefit cut in 10 years. That's just a fact. They don't fix this now. Everyone's in trouble. So apparently a bipartisan group are getting together saying, hey, we better fix this thing now. Finally, on the economic front, folks, we've taken out so much debt, as I showed you in the beginning of the show with the Statista data on our growing national debt. It's now $31 trillion. We have to pay interest on that to people who bought bonds, US-denominated instruments, treasury-denominated instruments. Folks, the interest on our national debt is going to exceed our defense spending in this decade, the decade the CBO says. We are going to be spending more money on money we borrowed than we are to defend the country.

Do you understand the real red menace is our debt right now? It's just simple math, folks. Here's another piece from that Christopher Wray interview and an important one. One of the things we've been eager to get an answer on is, remember the January 6th bomber? Bomber planted the pipe bombs at the Republican National Headquarters and Democrat National Headquarters. You don't hear a lot about that. Kind of weird because supposedly it was an insurrection, right?

Bombs involved. Why don't we hear about this every day? Well, the reason you don't hear about it is because the FBI doesn't want you to hear about it. So Brett Baer asked Christopher Wray about it. And again, he magically has a dipsy-do a rooster cubitus answer manages to do a p bootajay saying a whole lot saying nothing at all check this out ford fisher tweets what i'd really like to ask the fbi director on january 5th 2021 a still unidentified person planted pipe bombs at the dnc and RNC, which diverted law enforcement attention and resources on January 6th. With hundreds of other January 6th defendants arrested over two years,

how has the bomber still not been caught? Does the FBI director feel confidently that they will come someday be brought to justice? Well, I will say that I have enormous confidence in the team, the dedicated team that is focused exclusively on that investigation. And we have devoted loads and loads of effort into that specific investigation. We've done investigative publicity, calling for the public's help. And so our folks are working very, very hard on that investigation. And those folks, those FBI agents, analysts and professional staff, I have total confidence in them. And the other Twitter question we get a lot is, did the FBI have undercover agents or

paid informants or assets among the mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6th? Well, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Brett, I can't really appropriately talk about when, where, and how we use confidential informants. Is it classified? Well, we have information that is about any number of topics that is law enforcement sensitive. But you should not read into my inability to answer a question because of my obligations as that is a clue or a hint in any way about how accurate your reader's tweet is. So just to be clear, and I say that as a joke,

why haven't we found the January 6th bomber? Because the FBI is wonderful. That's his answer. Is it not? I mean, let me just sum that up. Everybody's great. Everybody's awesome. Despite the fact that there's surveillance cameras all over DC,

they could easily backtrack the guy to a car, a home, a cab, an Uber. He had to come from somewhere, right? The bomber or she, they magically get,

there's no DNAs or nothing. It's just so strange. Now that's the one case we can't solve. Yeah. Grandma's in jail for walking in the Capitol on January 6th. So bizarre. And then when he follows up and asks about undercovers involved in January 6th, he doesn't know anything about anything despite the information not being classified. Great job. Thanks for clearing that up. Day one, the next president, this guy's got to go.

Disgrace to the country. An embarrassment. All right, folks, thanks again for tuning in. I really appreciate it.
