Joseph, a lot to get to. So let's go. And happy Monday, everybody. You too, Dan. Yes, sir. Good to see you. I know it's been a long weekend. Good to see you.

Good to see Guy this morning, bright and early. He gets in early so we can get going so i can work out between shows so uh first uh i just want to tell you i henner gracie who is a world-renowned self-defense expert grappling expert mixed martial arts expert uh and a really good guy gracieuniversity.com that's their website henner's a friend to the show, the show Unfiltered. We did a segment this weekend on an active shooter scenario with a long gun. And folks, the gist of the segment is you absolutely do not want to be in a scenario where you're unarmed confronting a guy with a long gun. You just don't. If you can get away, absolutely 100% get away. If you can secrete yourself

somewhere and hide until someone with a weapon shows up to confront them or they leave or they're put down, great. But if you are in a scenario where you absolutely under no circumstances can't escape, like what happened in the California incident, Henner provided some valuable self-defense tips. So what we're going to do is because it's a long three-minute segment that ran on my show, we're going to do what we always do with them. We're going to put it at the end of the show. So if you want to see it in total, stay tuned.

After the closing credits of the show, Guy's going to insert the entire segment for you to see. Thank you, Henner Gracie, for doing it. It's amazing. It's worth your time. I promise you. Now let's get to some other stuff. Speaking of self-defense, a man who was not offered much of an opportunity to defend himself, Mr. Nichols, in this Memphis incident.

The man who was killed in an interaction with five police officers in Memphis. Folks, I spoke about this at length, but I haven't gotten the chance to address my podcast audience about it. I spoke about it on Fox and Friends, and I spoke about it on Unfiltered. So for my full comments, you can see those two segments, of course. But there's already something happening here. In case you're unaware of the details of the incident, who knows, maybe you're occupied this weekend, you didn't see the news, I don't know. Five Memphis police officers are accused, and keep in mind, even for the worst among us and

the worst crimes and the worst crimes and the worst allegations, these are allegations. And every one of these men is entitled to the presumption of innocence in a legal court of law until they're convicted legally. However, I waited to comment on this story. I waited for a while because I was obeying the Bongino rule. Wait 24 hours with these politically tinged stories that could involve race and policing, could involve race and policing could involve race because the left made it about race but dan everybody involved was black that's not the point the point is the left will make anything about race even when everybody involved

is black doesn't matter they're they're just trying to set the world on fire okay but i watched the video from multiple angles, multiple times, spoke with multiple sources, and I commented on it only after I did as much. And we're conservatives, folks, as I've said multiple times here. We're libertarians. We're the lovers of liberty and the defenders of big R God-given rights. The man who was pulled over, Mr. Nichols, had those rights just absolutely destroyed, shredded, flushed down a toilet bowl. What happened was inexcusable.

There's no excuses. It's inexcusable. I've seen a lot of commentary on this, and I respect everybody's opinion, and it's valuable. But one of the lines of commentary I find most disturbing, especially from conservatives, is the, well, if he wouldn't have resisted, none of this would have happened. Listen, man, I'm really sorry, but if that's the first place your mind

is going, I'd like you to go listen to that again, like I did from a law enforcement officer's perspective. I want you to listen to the commands that these police officers are giving Mr. Nichols. At times, they're completely contradictory. Get down, stand up, hands behind your back, give me your hand. They're completely contradictory. From what I saw, there's about 50 to 70 different commands. Again, some of them completely contradictory. I want to emphasize another point too, because we're the defenders of liberty. We, that's us.

That's not the liberals. Liberals want to make this a racial thing because they want to see everything burn. We are the defenders of liberty, including Mr. Nichols' liberty. There's no effort whatsoever in the interaction. I'm not, why are you not playing the video? Because I'm not.

You've seen, many of you seen it. And at this point, it's not helping anymore. You've seen it. It's been on the air. You'm not, why are you not playing the video? Because I'm not. You've seen, many of you've seen it. And at this point, it's not helping anymore. You've seen it. It's been on the air. You can go look at it. It's disturbing. And I don't need to expose you to it again. But I want you to remember something else.

There's no effort by the police officers in this scenario that I can see from any of the angles and any of the audio to deescalate this thing at all ever. I don't know, folks. I have never done a traffic stop outside of, say, you run a plate and it's a stolen car and you suspect there's a serial murderer in there. I've never run a traffic stop for a reckless driving, which is what the allegation was, I believe.

Reckless driving, which is never really described. What does that mean? Did he make a right on red? I mean, what does that mean? Was he doing 120? I mean, what does that mean? Was he doing 120? I mean, what does that mean, reckless driving? I've never done a traffic stop for reckless driving where you don't even ask the guy for his license or his name

and you rip him out of the car and start manhandling him. I've never done that, nor do I know any officers who I'm friends with who have done that either. Folks, I've never done that, nor do I know any officers who I'm friends would have done that either. Folks, I've been there. I've been on hundreds, hundreds of traffic stops and foot pursuits. I was there. I worked in the streets. I was a federal agent and a cop. It's just a fact. I'm not trying to impress anybody. A lot of you did it too. But this is a republic. This is not, I always use this example. This isn't like a Judge Dredd comic. We are officers of the law.

And I'm honored about how many police officers reached out to me on Facebook and on email. And I'm telling you the honest to God truth. Not one of them defended this. Not one. Not a single one. Cops I know. Cops I don't know, people who randomly reached out. Dan, I'm a sheriff here. Dan, I'm an officer here.

Dan, I'm a corrections officer. I had paramedics and fire department officers, firemen reaching out. Dan, I've never seen anything like this. Not one of them defended this. Not one. That should tell you something. This was street justice. Our job is to defend liberty and thank you again to the good cops and my condolences to the family of mr nichols one quick thing before we move on folks please do not buy the canard that this is a training thing

this is not a training thing I was an instructor in our academy in Prince George's County, Maryland when I was a federal agent. I went through the academy in Prince George's County. I went through the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynn County, Georgia. I went through the New York City Police Academy twice.

Once in the cadet program and one as a probationary police officer i went back to federal the federal law enforcement training center as an instructor in maryland there is no law and for and by the way i've been practicing self-defense for a very long time and some of the people do law enforcement courses i've've sat in on. There isn't a single law enforcement training course anywhere on planet earth that teaches you to rip a guy out of the car and then when he's not resisting,

soccer kick him in the head. That's not a thing. That's not a thing. So if that's not a thing, then how was the thing the training problem? The answer is, and this is why i don't want you to this is important here's a takeaway from this segment that you need to tattoo on your

brain activists come in here and try to pollute this conversation these officers have been arrested they are going to be investigated and prosecuted for murder. They are entitled to the presumption of innocence and an actual system of justice, unlike the street justice, it appears, A, inflicted on Mr. Nichols. But there is a process that worked here. The process after this dastardly, horrible, horrific tragedy worked.

But the people going, oh, we need more saying, we need more training. A lot of these people are grifters who want to go into police academies and then start doing a lot of this other stuff totally unrelated to policing. It's a grift. This was a personnel problem, clearly. These five guys should have never worn the badge at all.

At all. This was a vetting and personnel problem, period. When the individual stops resisting arrest, when you make no effort to deescalate it, and when the individual's handcuffed, the fight, man, is over. The fight's over. That is it. The fight, man, is over. The fight's over. That is it. This was not a training problem. Please do not get caught in the training trap. Because then what happens?

People who make a fortune out of walking into police academies and teaching people about all kinds of totally unrelated social justice stuff wind up getting police officers out on the street who then have no interest in enforcing the law at all. So crazy. People. Dan, I only talked to one guy. It was a prison guard friend of mine said the same thing you did. He just rejected it.

Yeah. Oh, out of hand. Disgusting. Not a single. There's usually at least one guy who's like, but no, no, it was not one. Not one. And believe me, I got friends who were tough cops. I don't mean unethical.

I mean, tough cops. They worked hard. They did the right thing, but they weren't easy guys to talk to. They were in the street to enforce the law. And they were like, I can't believe this happened. All right, moving on. If you want to see my entire segment, you can go to the unfiltered, at unfiltered on Fox. They have a Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter page. You can see my entire segment. It was completely unfiltered. No prompter. I just asked them to let me say what

I needed to say and Fox, of course, let me do it. So I appreciate that. They don't really get involved in my editorial decision. So I appreciate that. Okay, folks, explosive new Twitter files drop. You may have missed this. This is the one story of the last three or four days that sadly has gotten buried in just the deluge of information that's come out. You had the RNC chair thing. You had Memphis. You had the Paul Pelosi video come out. I mean, this was just the last couple of weeks was just a cornucopia of information that candidly was hard. It was like drinking from a fire hose. It's hard to kind of segregate it out and triage it into important, kind of important. The Twitter file story that dropped, I'd argue of reports by people like Matt Taibbi and others who've been given access to Twitter after Elon Musk took over, exposing the massive left-wing misinformation machine that was Twitter.

How it was used by the swamp to destroy conservatives and Donald Trump. swamp to destroy conservatives and Donald Trump. You probably missed this because of all the other stuff. If you didn't, you were in for a real eye-opening. I'm going to tie it all together. First, I want you to meet someone involved in this later Twitter, this last Twitter files drop. This person is just the, I mean, you want to talk about a face of the deep state NGO lobbyists, FBI, CIA, Intel community, government, liberal, George Soros, media money machine swamp, the cabal deep state, sloppy state. I don't give a what you call it. You want to see the face of it? A guy who's just epidemic of how it works. It's's this guy this was in the first tweet of the twitter files dropped by matt taibbi it's a video of a former fbi agent and government goon

swamp rat loser life loser a guy by the name of clint watts take a look you and your team you guys created a website hamilton 68 my colleagues and i we tracked russian accounts that's some bullshit so they're literally right now they're russian bots according to your website that are putting this out into the world is that correct so there's clint watts former swamp rat disgusting human being a deep state operator who abuses his position as a former FBI agent to go out there and propagate a bunch of Soviet-style agitprop themes like, hey, you're a Russian bot. Now, who's a Russian bot, Joe? According to Clint Watts, anyone he politically disagrees with

because he's likely a diehard, dyed-in-the-wool liberal communist. There you go. So there's Clint Watts. He's a member of a group called Hamilton 68. Hamilton 68, by the way, associated with a group hilariously titled the Alliance for Securing Democracy? Otherwise known as the Alliance for F-ing Over Democracy. John Podesta. Yeah, jumping, you're like Hillary Clinton, crony, flack liar, John Podesta. Yes, yes, he's part of that group too.

The CIA's Mike Morrell. It sounds like what I just talked about before. NGOs, lobbyists, FBI, CIA, government, libs, Soros, the media, the cabal, the deep state cabal. The media, the cabal, the deep state cabal. Bill Kristol, anti-Trump lunatic, Nosferatu of the left who claims he was a conservative at some point. Yeah, Bill Kristol. They're all part of this group.

It looks like Michael Chertoff, who again was aligned with the Republican administration, showing you that the swamp is a bipartisan endeavor. So this group, Hamilton 68, led by this guy, Clint Watts, is all over the media telling people oh my gosh the russian bots are everywhere colluding with the trumpies and the maga people twitter you gotta stop it here's clint watts twitter avatar can look at this loser and all right here uh here he is nice little picture in the background he's like hey look at me i got an off-center picture showing you a little scenery in the background that's clint watts hey, look at me. I got an off-center picture showing you a little of the scenery in the background.

That's Clint Watts. You'll notice he's an MSNBC contributor. MSNBC. It's a media outlet, folks. MSNBC. So they've got this guy in there who's been totally and completely exposed now by this last Twitter false drop. If you missed this, you missed a bombshell story on Friday. He's been totally exposed, him and his group.

As I don't know any other way to say it, just basically fabricating a narrative that anyone in the MAGA group or the Republican Party, even the Democrat Party they disagree with, is a Russian bot. They've been completely exposed and the guy still works for

MSNBC androsoft by the way they look at this guy that's on his avatar a little bio he takes good pictures off offset offset a little so you can see the background i want you to watch clint watts again here's our buddy clint up at a gullible senate hearing here where the Republican Senator is taking this all in. Actually, it looks like he accepts some of this he's talking about. And I want you to watch

what Clint Watts does. Here's what they do. The left. And by the left, I mean communists like this guy. What they do is they'll make

spurious connections based on the thinnest of evidence. The thinnest of evidence would be discredited immediately if people like Republican senators and media people would just ask basic questions. What they do is they do innuendo. So I know Joe lives in a specific part of Maryland. So if a bank is robbed in Maryland, what I can say is, listen, I can't say Joe did it, but all I can say is Joe was in the area when the bank is robbed in Maryland, what I can say is, listen, I can't say Joe did it, but all I can say is Joe was in the area when the bank was robbed. Now, a normal media person or Republican senator with half a brain would say, you live in Maryland? They would use the old usual suspects line by

Kevin Pollack. We could put you in Queens on the night of the robbery. Really? I live in Queens. You figure that out yourself or you got a team of monkeys working around the block. But because you understand that's a really good watch watch a movie because we don't have a functioning media and we have suckers who were afraid to, you know, take on the narrative du jour or the current thing, right? This is what happens. Here's Clint Watts using innuendo up at the Senate to make it seem like Trump is working with Russia and a group of Russian bots. Take a listen. I think this answer is very simple and is what no one is really saying in this room, which is part of the reason active measures have worked in this U.S. election is because the commander in chief has used Russian active measures at time against his opponents. On 14

August 2016, his campaign chairman, after a debunked incident. When you say his, who's his? Paul Manafort cited the fake Incirlik story as a terrorist attack on CNN, and he used it as a talking point. On 11 October, President Trump stood on a stage and cited what appears to be a fake news story from Sputnik News that disappeared from the Internet. He denies the intel from the United States about Russia. He claimed that the election could be rigged. That was the number one theme pushed by RT, Sputnik News, white outlets all the way up until the election. He's made claims of voter fraud, that President Obama is not a citizen, that Congressman Cruz is not a citizen.

So part of the reason active measures works, and it does today in terms of Trump Tower being wiretapped, is because they parrot the same lines. So Putin is correct. He can say that he's not influencing anything because he's just putting out his stance. But until we get a firm basis on fact and fiction in our own country, get some agreement about the facts,

whether it be, do I support the intelligence community or a story I read on my Twitter feed, we're going to have a big problem. I can tell you right now today, gray outlets that are Soviet pushing accounts tweet at President Trump during high volumes when they know he's online and they push conspiracy theories. So if he is to click on one of those or cite one of those it just proves putin correct that we can use this as a lever against the americans so this started so notice how he's he's talking to langford and langford's like falling for this which is amazing um and basically what he's saying is because a russia aligned media outlet said something that immediately

Trump must be working with Putin to steal an election because he may have said something that may have been parroted by someone on Twitter so they're definitely Russian bots.

But he makes the connection with Trump and the Manafort team who was his campaign manager. And then he says something really interesting at the end. Keep in mind, this guy's now been

totally discredited. We'll go through that in a second. Even Twitter knew at the end. Keep in mind, this guy's now been totally discredited. We'll go through that in a second. Even Twitter knew it was wrong. Keep in mind here, he says at the end, and by the way, don't trust any of these bots on Twitter. You need to trust the intel community. Despite the intel community being the single biggest source of misinformation about Trump.

Don't go anywhere. The Twitter people knew this guy was full of crap and they amplified this moron anyway. Let me get to this first. Don't go anywhere, folks. This show is going to be stacked. Thank you for tuning in. Appreciate your patience.

If you want to get some burgers for Guy, he'll take them.

He loves the Omaha Steaks burgers too. So I want you to keep in mind, this guy's using nothing but innuendo, suggesting that because a Russian somewhere on planet Earth had a shot of Russian vodka, and Trump mentioned once years ago that he knew a guy that had Russian vodka, that Trump must have stolen an election with Vladimir Putin. And because we have media people who don't ask any questions at all, this virus was allowed to persist. This misinformation machine was allowed to go.

Well, how do we know it was misinformation? Because this goon, Clint Watts, working with MSNBC goons and elsewhere and media people and Chertoff and Morel and Crystal and all these other folks, what they did is they said, well, Twitter is promoting these Russian bot accounts that are amplifying misinformation in the United States. Well, for that story to be true, Joe, the Twitter accounts had to be actual Russian bots. Yeah. Which is kind of weird because the new Twitter files dropped by Matt Taibbi,

he has the emails from Twitter. Here's Yoel Roth, big time Twitter executive and a, by the way, a diehard leftist. Here's Yoel Roth saying, yes, exactly. It's so weird and self-selecting that they're so unwilling to be transparent and defend their selection. What is he talking about? He's talking about Hamilton 68 saying, hey, look at these accounts. They're Russian bots associated with that MAGA crowd, amplifying Russian misinformation. So he says, it's weird that they're not even willing to defend this. He says, I think we need to just call this out on the bull that it is.

Twitter's looking at the accounts that are supposed to be Russian bots and telling each other on emails and internal communications, this thing is total crap. These aren't Russian accounts. These aren't Russian accounts amplifying messages. This is all made up. Twitter knows this. Now, you'd think Yoel Roth, if the man had any human dignity at all, which he doesn't, he knows this is garbage and a lie that's tearing the nation apart. The Russians are working with MAGA people to destroy the republic. He knows it's fake, but they do nothing. It gets even worse. Not only were they not Russian accounts, they appear to be completely legitimate right-leaning accounts. How do I know that? Because that's what Yoel Roth literally put

in the email. He's talking about these Russian accounts that the Hamilton dashboard, quote, falsely accuses a bunch of legitimate right-leaning accounts of being Russian bots. They're asking how we publicly push back. But I don't think there's anything noteworthy about this hashtag beyond that. How do you publicly push back? You go to the media and tell them this story's garbage. Well, it looks like they tried that off the record because they didn't have the balls to do it on the record.

But this is how the cabal operates. They always, the cabal accuses you of what they're doing. What's the cabal? Non-governmental organizations, as I referred to before as NGOs, Soros-type groups, getting money from the State Department and elsewhere, lobbyists, media people, politicians, liberals, liberal money people, the CIA,

the FBI. They are knee-deep in a massive misinformation machine where they will do anything to protect their grift, and their grift is evidenced by nothing greater than the Biden scandal. If the Biden scandal goes down, Joe Biden and his kid taking money overseas to influence U.S. policy, they all go down because they're all doing it. So when Trump was going to expose it, I can't say this enough, they had to take him down by accusing you of exactly what they were doing. Creating misinformation for money. Here's how the misinformation machine works. Here's a tweet from Taibbi's Twitter files drop.

These Russian accounts, they concluded, are neither strongly Russian nor strongly bots, Twitter concluded. There is no evidence to support the statement that the dashboard is a finger on the pulse of Russian information ops, hardly illuminating a massive influence operation. Ladies and gentlemen, the receipts are right here. Taibbi's got all the emails attached. Where are these people in the media, you gutless goons, you jellyfish type snakes? Folks, listen to me. You have been months ahead of the news cycle on this show. I am telling you the single most destructive force right now in this constitutional republic is the freaking filth in our media,

openly fabricating fairy tales to shred this piece, this place apart and tear it into pieces. These people are disgusting. The evidence is right in front of your face. They all knew. Twitter knew. Hamilton 68 must have known. The people involved must have known.

And they sold themselves out. They sold themselves out in order to keep their grift going overseas and they let their names all be used. I want you to look at this media compilation. You may say, Dan, that's hard to read. That's the point. Taibbi couldn't even fit them all on one screen. Look at these disgusting filth human waste outlets. Mother Jones, the Daily Yeast and elsewhere, Newsweek, filth outlets, filth, garbage, disgusting outlets propagating the story of Russian bots. And anytime they didn't, they didn't like the walk away movement, the Brandon Strzoka thing, Russian bots.

They didn't like Dan Bongino's account, Russian bots. They didn't like Dennis Lynch's account, Russian bots. And media goons, degenerate losers. And folks, if you're offended by the language, it's not even strong enough. I want to say worse, but I can't go unfiltered that way because there were probably kids listening. but I can't go unfiltered that way because there were probably kids listening. Filth on the screen. That's what you're looking at, filth. You're looking at the most disgusting scandal in United States history, a massive media misinformation machine working with the cabal

to protect people like Biden and international influence peddling and the cabal. They are defending themselves. Now, Twitter, Yoel Roth, gutless loser, instead of going public and saying, hey, this whole allegation that conservatives are Russian bots and all that stuff, it's really fake. They didn't have the balls to do it. So they tried to speak to reporters off the record, again, because they had no guts to do it publicly. And listen to this. You want to see the human filth our media is?

Filth. Human filth. Like dogs. One of the Twitter people notes, hey, you know, we tried to speak to reporters off the record. And reporters are chafing. It's like shouting into a void. They're telling the reporters this is all a lie, a lie tearing the country apart. Russians are everywhere infiltrating the Republican Party. They're telling them it's a lie, and reporters don't want to hear it. They don't want to hear it

because there's sellout, hacks, and human garbage. Now, a real reporter, Glenn Greenwald, by the way, he's not a conservative. A real reporter sounded the alarm on this five years ago in 2018. He sounded the alarm on Tucker Carlson's show, proving my point again. If you're listening to this show, Tucker, and other good quality shows out there, you're at least probably five years, maybe more, ahead of the information stream. Greenwald warned everyone about Hamilton 68, what they were up to. And of course, Greenwald was called what, Joe? A Russian agent. You see

how that works? Expose people with a fake Russian agent scandal, and you're in fact a Russian agent. Gosh, so weird how that happens. I'll show you that clip in a second. Don't go anywhere.

Check this out. It's essentially a group that was, as you said, started by people like Bill Kristol, people who have been leading neocons from both political parties, CIA officials, the people who basically have been disseminating disinformation throughout the entire war on terror, the least reliable,

most warmongering people in Washington. And they said that their purpose of their group was to combat disinformation and the attack on the American democracy by Russia and other groups. And their main kind of feature was that they would have this dashboard called Hamilton 68 that purported to track the activity of Russian influencers on Twitter by tracking 600 accounts. Nobody knows which accounts they've designated as influence of Russia. They're not necessarily Russian. They're just people who, in the eyes of Bill Kristol and his friends, are people who espouse Russia or pro-Russia themes. And they just constantly make claims about what Russia is doing on Twitter that the US media in the most shocking

way uncritically ingest and puts into their headlines as fact about what Russia is doing that was years ago and of course Greenwald is tarred and feathered as a Russian agent I mean this stupidity is

genuinely astonishing but let me just rewind the tape mean this this stupidity is genuinely astonishing um but let me just rewind the tape it's not stupidity you have to understand these media folks and these cabal people and these hamilton 68 people are actual agents of disinformation openly seeking to destroy the republic there's no this is not an accident they knew damn well they were lying about this Russian bot scandal, and they did it anyway. And who do they use? More filth like Adam Schiff. Remember the disinformation machine, Clint Watts,

up at that Senate hearing, talking about the Trump campaign and its relationship to Russia, tied to Russia? Well, one of the angles they always use is they use this Paul Manafort angle. Now, I'm going to debunk this, not for the last time. I wish it was for the last time, but it'll come up again. Because if we had an informed, honest media, we do not. The angle that they're using to connect Trump to Russia

is through his campaign manager, Manafort, who did have some dealings, that's a fact, with a guy by the name of Konstantin Kalimnik. They want you to believe Kalimnik is some kind of high-level Russian operative. And you're saying, Dan, if Manafort met with him, then clearly there's a Trump tie to Russia. Media people don't know squat about this case. Watch how they let Adam Schiff. This is his past weekend. We already know there is zero evidence Trump colluded with Russia to steal an election.

We know that. Watch Schiff totally mischaracterize the Mueller report because he's a lying piece of human filth. This disgusting human being. And watch him parrot the exact same talking point. And the CNN host, of course, has no information to refute it because she doesn't want to refute it. Watch him parrot the Kalimnik. When he talks about a Russian asset in metaphor, he's talking about Kalimnik. Take a listen.

You said that there was direct evidence of the fact that Donald Trump colluded with Russia back in 2016. Special Counsel Robert Mueller said in his report, quote, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government. Republicans argue that's proof that you used your position on the Intelligence Committee to intentionally mislead Americans, which is why you should not be on that committee. If you read the Mueller report, he makes clear, even in the first few pages of the report, that he states no conclusion on whether Donald Trump and his campaign colluded with the Russians. But what he does reveal in this report, what we found in our investigation, is that Donald Trump's campaign manager was sharing internal campaign polling data

and the strategy for key battleground states with an agent of Russian intelligence, while that same unit of Russian intelligence was helping the Trump campaign. Notice what he does here again. He takes a specific set of unrelated facts and claims it's evidence. I gave you the analogy before. Joe lives in Maryland. There has been a bank robbed in Maryland last year. Those are facts. You notice how he confuses facts with evidence. There has been a bank robbed in Maryland last year. Those are facts. You notice how he confuses facts with evidence. Joe has nothing to do with the bank robbery. But if you're stupid and you're in the media, you're like, oh my gosh,

Joe, bank robbery, he's such a nice guy in the Dan Bongino show. Notice how the dunce at CNN doesn't ask any questions about this alleged Russian agent because that sounds serious. And notice how the stupidce at CNN doesn't ask any questions about this alleged Russian agent, because that sounds serious. And notice how the stupid CNN audience is like, shit, man, he's onto something.

Trump's campaign manager is talking to a Russian. Oh, my gosh, a Russian agent. Here's the Daily Beast. Yeah, the same Daily Yeast, part of that compilation before of media idiots openly promoting agitprop like good Soviets. Here they are, Dan Laden Hall. They'll never retract this, by the way. Manafort owns up to passing campaign data, the suspected Russian agent.

Oh my gosh. He publicly admitted giving polling data to Konstantin Kalimnik, a suspected Russian asset. I've only debunked this a thousand times, which that part's true, by the way. So let's just establish media and journalistic principles here because we do actual reporting here. So Paul Manafort is dealing with this guy, Konstantin Kalimnik, who Adam Schiff is claiming is some big time Russian agent

getting ready to steal an election. Wow, you know what's really fascinating, fellas? The Obama State Department was dealing with the same guy. Were they... Weird. Were they stealing an election too? John Sump, by the way, please read these pieces. They're in my newsletter today, bongino.com slash newsletter.

Please take this screenshot for your leftist friends who are probably imbeciles and say, oh, so Kalimnik was a Russian agent looking to steal elections? Well, why doesn't the report state, the Mueller report, that Kalimnik was, quote, a sensitive intelligence source for the State Department going back to at least 2013? Who was the president in 2013? Guy, do you know? Pop quiz. It was Barack Obama.

Joey, can you double check that? It was Barack Obama, right? Is that 13? Yeah. 2013. Guy, do you know? Pop quiz. It was Barack Obama. Joey, can you double check that? It was Barack Obama, right? Yeah. 2013. Yeah. Joe's doing some math. Yeah. Yeah.

I can triple check it. Okay. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good.

So Kalimnik, the same alleged Russian agent, was an Obama administration source? So strange. They know Kalimnik wasn't even just some run-of-the-mill source. He interacted with the chief political officer at the U.S. embassy in Kiev, you know, the same one coordinating the takedown of Donald Trump, where Joe Biden's son was working for money, sometimes meeting several times a week

to provide information on the Ukrainian government. He even relayed messages back to Ukraine's leaders and delivered written reports to U.S. officials via emails that stretched on for thousands of words. So again, Adam Schiff, who is a lying piece of human filth and a dopey media person who knows nothing, keeps saying that Paul Manafort was dealing with this Russian agent who ironically was an Obama administration source.

Do your freaking homework in the media. Are you this stupid all the time? You can read the memos yourself. So if Paul Manafort is in fact an agent of Russia through Kalimnik, then so is Barack Obama's State Department. By the way, the same State Department that coordinated with Christopher Steele to make sure that the Department of Justice got a hold of Christopher Steele's fake dossier, even though Christopher Steele and the dossier was fake and they knew it. Oh,

I got more on that coming up in a minute. Don't you go anywhere. Let me get to my last sponsor and let me tie this baby up for you. You're not going to get this stuff anywhere else.

media idiots, how they all work together to feed you a story, not the story. They don't do their homework. And even when given their homework by Yoel Roth and Twitter, hey, this Russian bot story is fake,

they ignore it and quote, chafe at it because they're not serious people. They're looking to destroy the republic through propaganda. Here was Schiff again, who again, I can't emphasize to you the filth this guy is destroying the country. Here's Adam Schiff again, running for Senate. Here's Adam Schiff again, running for Senate. Here he is lying about his coordination with the whistleblower. Now, when the Trump-Russia collusion thing completely fell apart, completely fell apart, Schiff had staked his entire career on it, thinking that Trump would resign before the Mueller report came out,

that he would be responsible for taking him down. That's what really happened. That's the inside story. Well, when Trump didn't resign and fought back and gave him the double barrel middle finger, Adam Schiff needed something else. So I would argue you based on evidence and I lay it out in one of my books, follow the money. Adam Schiff then coordinated with people on the National Security Council to get Trump impeached. When Trump started looking into the overseas grift scandal using Hunter Biden in Ukraine, and he called the Ukrainian president and asked about it,

Adam Schiff panicked. And his office went to people on the National Security Council who later went to work for Adam Schiff, and they coordinated the impeachment takedown through the whistleblower. Adam Schiff got caught lying about that. CNN asked him about it, and he lies about lying. Take a listen. Let me give you another. He says that this is part of a pattern ahead of the first Trump impeachment. You said the committee had not spoken to a whistleblower. In fact, that turned out not to be true. The Washington Post said so in their fact check. The Washington Post identified that, yes, before the person became a whistleblower, they sought advice from the committee. When I was asked the question, I thought they were

referring to whether we had brought the whistleblower in. And I should have been more clear. No, that's not what happened, Adam. Your team was coordinating with the whistleblower to take out Donald Trump because your collusion hoax failed. Because the whistleblower to take out Donald Trump because your collusion hoax failed. Because the whistleblower he was coordinating with, him in his office, also worked with Joe Biden, worked with Joe Biden on the Ukraine portfolio, and met at the White House, the whistleblower, with Darya Kalaniuk. Darya Kalaniuk was the executive director of George Soros' foundation in Ukraine. Does that explain the New York Times piece? Trying to attack John Durham's investigation into all of this?

Remember we covered this last week? Charlie Savage, Adam Goldman, deep state stenographers, total life losers. Sitting here attacking John Durham because now he's looking into the emails of George Soros and others. So Soros and the money machine in Ukraine were operating in Ukraine through the U.S. embassy where a whistleblower tried to attack Donald Trump who was also tied to Ukraine,

who was working with Biden while Biden's kid was collecting a paycheck from Ukraine. And anybody who spoke out about it was a Russian bot? This is how you know something's up. Jonah Goldberg, who, no, I don't think there's a Republican or someone who calls themselves a Republican who hates Trump more than Jonah Goldberg. Even Jonah Goldberg picked up on what we picked up on last week. He's like, I don't think anyone thinks I'm a big John Durham booster,

but the mounting smart think jihad against John Durham and the release of his report really feels like an attempt to work the refs and pre-spin whatever's in there. Totally open to being wrong, but it's weird. When me and Jonah Goldberg agree on something, it's probably correct. Charlie Savage and Adam Goldman, two deep state losers who will write anything that deep state tells them with their lips surgically attached to the ass of the deep

state operation and the intel community, are clearly writing this report attacking John Durham because it's now clear as day he's uncovered something. I don't know how profound it is, but something about the Soros connection. Soros' woman in Ukraine, working as his executive director of his foundation over there, met at the White House with the whistleblower who was working on Ukraine and the Biden team

trying to take out Trump when Trump asked about Biden in Ukraine. Let's tie this all together now. How the swamp, the media, the intel community all profit off the destruction of the United States and they cover up grifts like the Biden grift in Ukraine because they're all doing it. They had to stop Trump, so they accused him of Russian collusion. It fell apart. I just showed you the whole thing was BS. The State Department was knee-deep in this and knew it was fake from the start.

The State Department under the Obama administration was dealing with this guy, Konstantin Kalimnik, who they keep claiming is a Russian agent for dealing with Trump's campaign manager, Manafort, even though Kalimnik was an Obama State Department source. The same Obama State Department dealing with Kalimnik also was an Obama State Department source. The same Obama State Department dealing with Kalimnick also was dealing with, this is where we tie it into Hamilton 68, was also dealing with Christopher Steele. Do you remember this, Joe? We covered this a while ago.

This John Solomon piece is in my newsletter. This is a must read too. They're all there. They're at the end. Bongino.com slash newsletter. Please read them. It's from 2019. So the same State Department that's been dealing with Kalimnick under Obama,

who they swear is a Russian agent, they met with Christopher Steele, a woman by the name of Kathleen Kavalec, right as this dossier is about to get launched in October of 2016. Right as the FBI is about to go and do their FISA warrant. Right? Christopher Steele, so-called author of the dossier, goes and meets with the State Department

and tells them that there are payments being made to those recruited. You can see it right here, out of the Russian consulate in Miami. Oh, yeah. Kathleen Kavalec takes notes. Remember this, Joe? Yeah, yeah.

What's the problem with that story, fellas? There is no Russian consulate in Miami. Kavalec, that John Solomon notes, bluntly debunked the assertion in a bracketed comment. It's important to note there's no Russian consulate in Miami. Two days later, State Department official Kavalec, and well before the FISA warrant was issued, she forwarded her type summary to other government officials. It's unlikely her concerns failed to reach the FBI. In other words, Kathleen Kavalec knows Christopher Steele's story is crap

because there is no embassy in Miami. She knows, how can you be funneling payments for a Russia collusion scandal through an embassy that doesn't exist? You think that stopped the media and the Justice Department? This is where this whole thing is just glorious here's an email from kathleen kabalik here's kathleen kabalik emailing justice department official bruce orr who conveniently his wife nelly orr is working at fusion gps employing christopher steel, yeah. Bruce, thanks for coming today. I think everyone found it useful. Here's an article I found to be of interest.

Have a good weekend. I want you to note down lower in the email. She writes, as I mentioned today, I met with Clint Watts. Oh, Clint Watts. The mini former FBI guy in the opening of the show says everybody's a Russian bot. I met with Clint Watts,

one of the authors of the report. He'd been doing analytics on Russian trolls and their use of fake news in the show says everybody's a Russian bot? I met with Clint Watts, one of the authors of the report. He'd been doing analytics on Russian trolls and their use of fake news in the U.S. for the last two years. He noted that before Trump won the nomination, they were amplifying the American far right and far left. All to protect Biden,

impeach Trump, and then to cover it up later on. Got to get rid of Trump. Russian collusion. Doesn't work. Got to impeach Trump. Trump's looking at what we're doing in Ukraine. Soros is working over there.

Got to impeach him. That doesn't work. State Department knows about it the whole time. State Department knew Steele was full of crap. State Department knew Manafort's contact, Kalimnik, was not a Russian agent, was in fact a State Department source. The media, ladies and gentlemen, knew all of this.

And suckers are still falling for it. This is a trip here. This is one of the best. So Hunter Biden's operating in Ukraine. Matt Palumbo has a piece up at Bongino.com today. I'll try to link to it if I can. Hunter Biden's operating in Ukraine. And according to business partners, it's funneling some money back to his dad, who's the chairman, right? But Hunter Biden's also working in China, where an FBI agent's arrested last week for

working in Albania. And the Albanian connection he has is working for a Chinese energy conglomerate too. Here's a fascinating email exchange Matt has in his piece. This lawyer, Edward Kim, who represents Patrick Ho, who is a Chinese

energy conglomerate CEFC official. This lawyer, Ed Kim, working with this guy, Patrick Ho, asked Hunter in an email for the name of the FBI agents you spoke with. Hunter had signed a contract with CEFC just months prior

in August of that same year. Does that explain what the arrest of the FBI agent and the recent attacks on Durham? Does that explain it for you? Somebody's flipping, folks. Somebody's talking. I believe this arrest of the FBI agent last week for contacts in Albania with Albanians connected to that Chinese energy company,

I believe that has more to do with the Bidens than it has to do with anything else. Somebody's giving up the cookies. Hunter Biden knows the exact same people the arrested FBI agent does. One of the lawyers actually reached out to him for the FBI agent he was talking to. I'll end the show with this today. Holman Jenkins has an amazing piece in the Wall Street Journal that appeared this weekend. John Durham finds Russiagate's Rosetta Stone. Again, Durham found something. I don't know what it is, but he found something.

stone again dorham found something i don't know what it is but he found something and jenkins notes seven years have given us a perspective to see something if we're willing to see it the fbi's intervention in the hillary clinton case launched the agency on a new role as a continuous actor in our presidential politics with no end in sight unless society makes a deliberate effort to return our securcrats to their proper sphere. Damn right. They've interfered in and stolen too many elections. It's time to disband the FBI. Got a whistleblower on later in the week, too.

We're going to do a podcast interview. You're going to love. Don't miss that. Folks, thanks again for tuning in. I really appreciate your support of the podcast. Again, stay tuned.

We really appreciate your time. I'll see you back here tomorrow. You just heard Dan Bongino. Welcome back to Unfiltered. The tragic shooting in Monterey Park, California,

it ended when a bystander confronted the gunman and wrestled the weapon away. Listen, that is obviously a worst case scenario. But if God, you were to come face to face with the shooter and you can't run away and you can't get away, what should you do? Joining us now for a demonstration is jujitsu expert and Gracie University CEO and a good friend to the show, Henner Gracie. Henner, obviously a disturbing scenario. What are you teaching in Gracie University at your school? Thanks, Dan. Yeah, the choice to intervene in an active shooter situation is an incredibly

personal one. But like you said, run, hide, fight. If you're in a situation where you can't run and you can't hide and you choose to fight, there are two techniques that I want all the viewers to know, especially when the shooter is armed with a long gun or a rifle of sorts like we see here so check this out person's here one option on the strong side is this drop the weapon drop the weapon and we're out okay so let me go back a little bit down here and kind of show what's happening here obviously if we're gonna engage with the shooter we want to do so from their blind side from the rear I'm coming in we're to do a strong side technique and a weak side technique. If I'm on the strong side, this is the side where I have more access to more real estate on the weapon.

I'm coming in with two hands, look, over under grip, slipping inside and putting myself in control of the weapon along with Sam in this situation. And because it's so long, I have great leverage to prevent him from turning the gun to face me. Now, check out the leg, the side that I'm on, I'm going to outside trip Sam's leg and we're going to plow through him and drive straight to side control. And because the weapon is so long, Sam cannot turn and face me and shoot me in this situation. Now I bring my near side hand when I feel stable and I start to forearm choke on his neck right here, causing the release.

If he releases with both hands, great. Go back. If he doesn't, look, we can use an inside knee and pry his hand right off the weapon. can use strikes so there are many things we can do in that situation come on up Sam now on the weak side why is it the weak side look because from here we have less real estate to get a hold of it's harder to wrap my body around the weapon however if we understand the mechanics of the gun and leverage we're slipping under and we're going to pry the

gun right out from his hands check out how this happens look at this here are the two grips i'm after dan i want the stock and i want the the hand guard or even the barrel not ideal if it's hot but the hand guard right here hold tighter sam don't let go with these two grips i don't care how strong he is watch this we're prying it right out because sam has inside position i have the longer levers and that's what allows me to pry the gun right out of his hands. But make sure you come under this arm, not over. So again, we're here, we're here, we're going and we're out. Obviously, if the active shooter has a pistol, shorter lever, it's more difficult to control.

But there are techniques and a lot more of where this came from at GracieUniversity.com. Henner, you know, one of the things you've emphasized in jujitsu through the years, I'm an avid follower of you on social media. Your entire family's wonderful leverage. Leverage is what matters. I appreciate you with that demonstration and I'm glad you emphasize, listen, folks, if you can get away, do your best. These are just emergency situations where you have no other option.

Henner, thanks so much for your time. That was very, very informative. We appreciate it. Folks, thanks again for tuning in. I'll see you back here tomorrow.
