Metrolinx and Crosslinx are reminding everyone to be careful
as Eglinton Crosstown LRT train testing is in progress.
Please be alert, as trains can pass at any time on the tracks.
Remember to follow all traffic signals,
be careful along our tracks,
and only make left turns where it's safe to do so.
Be alert, be aware, and stay safe.
Get ready to hear the truth about America
on a show that's not immune to the facts
with your host, Dan Bongino.
So today's going to be a tough show
because there may be a divorce here for some of us.
And you know, that's okay. No, I mean it. There's going to be a divorce here for some of us. And, you know, that's okay.
No, I mean it.
There's going to be a divorce here for some of us.
I'm not going to sit there and read all night, you know,
go F yourself, traitor, scumbag, all the other things.
I'm not.
I'm not going to do that.
It's easy for people to do that, you know, keyboard warriors type to me all this stuff.
We've never done anything themselves of any substance to sit there and type to me all these things, critiques about stuff.
And I've warned you for a long way.
You know, what's this about?
You're saying, you know, listen, I'm going to I'm going to tell you right now.
Nobody will ever tell me what to discuss on my show ever.
It is my show.
I discuss things and there are reasons I discuss them when I discuss them and when I don't.
And for the people sending me, I mean, literally death threats, saying they wish that I had been aborted, calling me a traitor to the country.
that I had been aborted, calling me a traitor to the country,
after leaving my job, running for office three times,
nearly going bankrupt doing it,
traveling around the country in support of other candidates,
and being a loyal ally to Donald Trump from day one.
From day one.
I got to tell you, I'm not in the best of moods today.
I got a lot to get to. It's not just that. There are other things I've warned you about in the best of moods today. I got a lot to get to.
It's not just that.
There are other things I've warned you about in the past.
And I mean it.
If this show is not for you, that is a-okay.
I am here to do the right thing.
I am not here to do the easy thing. And there is a reason I do what I do.
Nobody tells me what to talk about, when or why.
There's a reason i specifically talk about things
at a specific time and don't i'm not just making it up i've got a lot of stuff to get through today
but on some a good note well not a good note but kind of a bad note but uh producer justin is his
last day today he's got to go back to school.
Come on over here.
Say hello to the audience.
Just give you a bit.
You haven't met producer Justin yet.
It's his last day.
He's going back to school.
Come on over.
Say hello.
I want to thank you for your excellent work.
Just so you got Justin seven feet tall.
Yeah, in front of the camera.
That's Justin.
You can see Justin right there.
Thank you for your hard work. We appreciate it. Justin's a good man. That's Justin. You can see Justin right there. Thank you for your hard work.
We appreciate it.
Justin's a good man, a very good man.
I mean, he volunteers at the local church.
He does really great stuff, and he's a great kid, really,
with a lot of morals and values and some dignity.
And it's an honor to have worked with him for as long as we have.
We're going to miss him, though.
He's like, what are we going to do without Justin?
I'm like, I don't know.
We're going to have to find a solution until Justin comes back.
So a lot to get to today.
Hey, protect your data from prying eyeballs.
Get a VPN.
Go to ExpressVPN.com slash Bongino.
Welcome to the Dan Bongino Show.
Joe, on a lighter note before we get to the tough stuff, it is Friday, which is always a good thing.
So please, your worst 1960s game show voice.
It's Friday.
Yeah.
There you go.
Well,
that was a,
you know,
yeah,
it was,
you were saving it.
I remember Joe had an outburst on Monday,
kind of slow,
slow Tuesday through Thursday,
but I guess you did.
That was okay.
Okay. I don't mind the occasional outbreak. You did. That was okay. Okay.
I don't mind the occasional outbreak.
All right.
All right.
Let me guess.
I got a lot to get through today, folks.
And I'm telling you, really, it's time for us to prioritize what the real fights are here.
It's important.
Listen, there are a ton of VPN providers out there.
You've probably heard of a couple of them.
And some of you may have never used a VPN before.
I do my research. I don't just pick any sponsor. I only recommend products I believe in and use. It's important. If I don't use them, I got to tell you to use them.
I can say with full confidence, ExpressVPN is the best VPN on the market today. Here's why.
ExpressVPN doesn't log your data. There are lots of really cheap or free VPNs out there that make
money by selling your data to ad companies. ExpressVPN developed a technology
called Trusted Server. It makes it impossible for their servers to log any of your info. Second is
the speed. It's super fast. I've tried other VPNs. Many slow your connection down. They make your
device sluggish. I've used ExpressVPN for years now. My internet speeds are blazing fast, even
when you connect to servers thousands of miles away. You can stream HD quality videos with zero lag.
Last thing that really sets ExpressVPN apart from other VPNs is how easy it is to use.
You don't have to input or program anything.
You just fire up the app, click on one button to connect.
It's so easy.
You know, listen, even the non-tech savvy folks in your family can use it.
It's not just me saying this.
Wired, The Verge, CNET, many other tech experts rate ExpressVPN the number one VPN in the market. So protect yourself with a VPN that I use and trust.
Use my link expressvpn.com slash Bongino today and get an extra three months free on a one-year
package. That's expressvpn.com slash Bongino. Go to expressvpn.com slash Bongino to learn more.
All right, Joe, let's go.
Whoa, loud belting.
Oh, what?
Yeah.
Poked me up.
Sheesh, maybe I need it.
Oh, it's like a smelling salt right there.
Okay, so again, thank you to producer Justin.
You're a good man.
We wish you the best.
And you have an open invitation to come back anytime you want.
Here's what the opening of the show was about.
Folks, listen, I'm a public figure. I don't have a thick skin. I've said a thousand times. I know a lot of people go, about folks. Listen, I'm a public figure.
I don't have a thick skin.
I've said a thousand times.
I know a lot of people go,
Oh gosh,
I got such a thick skin on his butt.
No,
it doesn't bother me.
It bothers me because my credibility matters.
My integrity matters.
And I do things because I have a,
there's a reason I do things.
There are things I know and I hear about,
and there's reasons I've,
I've said to you a thousand times on this show,
Joe, you can vouch for me,
but win me from the beginning.
I don't need to be first.
I need to be right.
And there's a reason.
Because when you're wrong, it's over.
Nobody trusts you again.
There's a reason for that.
And I've been taking it from both sides,
which is fine.
The liberals I'm used to,
and I mean, both sides of our, the establishment people and the, you know, anti-establishment
people. Everybody's got an opinion about what's going on, which is okay. It's my show, but folks,
I do what I do. And I talk about what I talk about for a very, very specific reason.
Having said that on one end of it, I promised
you resolution on the Fox thing, which again, people on social media channels, you let this
happen. I didn't let anything happen. I spoke to you on Monday about an edit on my Fox News show,
unfiltered, during the interview with Donald Trump. You can go back and listen to the Monday
show. It's called About the Interview with Donald Trump.
I promised you that day resolution because I wasn't going to let it go.
I promised you I wouldn't let it go.
Again, despite the hundreds of messages from people who claim to be supporters, I'm convinced they're not.
They're just trolls.
It's like, oh, you thought we'd forget.
I swear your worst enemies are people on the inside sometimes.
I did get resolution.
As I promised you, I would.
The problem has been fixed.
The full interview with Donald Trump has been loaded to the YouTube account.
I apologize to you. I personally, personally, and the president can vouch for it,
apologize to President Trump. I did not authorize the edit. I personally, personally, and the president can vouch for it, apologize to President Trump.
I did not authorize the edit.
I did not condone the edit.
I was unaware of the edit.
However, that's not an excuse.
Please hear me.
That's not an excuse.
It's my show.
I should have checked.
I didn't.
I didn't think to.
That's my fault. It's not some virtue signaling nonsense. It should have checked. I didn't. I didn't think to. That's my fault.
It's not some virtue signaling nonsense. It's my fault. I personally apologize to the president,
who, by the way, was very gracious and said he doesn't need an apology. He didn't think I had
anything to do with it. But it's my show. The full interview has been restored to the Fox News YouTube channel.
Told you I wouldn't forget.
You had my word.
Okay, now, moving on.
Because there is a lot of stuff to get to on this Friday.
And I'm going to get to this other thing in a minute, what I was talking about at the beginning.
By the way, it's not what you think.
I know a lot of people are, it's not what you think.
Stay with me through the show today. I'm a little, it's been a long couple of days. The moral decay of the left folks is now near complete. As you can see from this Fox business
article, majority of registered democratic voters now prefer socialism to capitalism. Fox news poll
finds folks. This is really stunning stuff. Okay. Look at this poll. This poll taken between August 7th and the 10th
showed that 59% of registered Democrat voters
who participated had a positive view of socialism
compared to 49% who felt that way about capitalism.
Back in February, it was only 50%.
Folks, the moral decay of the country
is increasing at a rapid rate.
And if we don't really figure out who our enemies are soon
and learn to join forces and link shields,
we are never going to win this fight.
I've insisted on that from day one.
We have to understand the real fight is coming from one very specific side.
Now, what bothers me most about this poll
is the people being asked if they have a positive view of socialism.
I can assure you don't even know what socialism is.
Socialism is the government control of the means of production.
That is where a government entity that identifies as socialist, Marxist, communist.
It's all the same thing. Don't let them tell you otherwise.
Controls the means of production, the factories, the service industry, all of it.
They control it. So if you belong to a job and get a paycheck from a private employer and you enjoy that job, you are not a socialist.
You are a hit talker with an S in front of it. You don't know what socialism is.
You don't support socialism because you practice something else. So please stop lying.
The 59% of the Democrats in this survey who support socialism will consistently tell you,
we're talking about Sweden.
Sweden is not a socialist country.
Can you please stop being this stupid all the time, at least one day a week?
That is not socialism.
It may be a big government nanny state.
That's what it is.
It may be a form of governmental paternalism.
That's what it is.
It is not socialism.
If you support Sweden, move to Sweden.
That's not socialism.
Making matters worse, the same people who responded to this survey probably have no idea what capitalism is either.
Ask them to define what it is.
They have no idea.
Capitalism, I've argued repeatedly, is not even an ism in any sense.
It's really just economic freedom to do three things.
And if you don't believe in them, lead by example and
don't do these three things. The three things are what? Private property. You own private property.
You have a phone. You have a pen like Obama. Didn't even intend that. You got a microphone.
You got a car. You got a house. Give it up. There's a treasury website. You can sell your
assets and you can donate that money to the
government and be a true socialist you won't because you're a fake you're a phony
you're a phone you're a total fraud on the left you won't do it i believe in socialism you
understand private property is antithetical to socialism and you own private property.
I didn't mean I didn't like socialism. I love
socialism for them, just not for me.
That's because you're a fake.
Because you're a fake. Lead by
example, sell all your stuff,
and donate the money to the government.
I'd respect you more.
I always talk about
that story, that actor, Matthew Modine.
I think he's a big liberal.
I'm not even sure, but he's a big environmental liberal guy.
Remember him from, what was he in that wrestling movie?
He's been around.
He's been kind of a B-lister for a long time.
Not a D-lister, but a B-lister guy.
When I was in the police academy,
the guy's a big environmental guy, whatever.
I saw him driving around Manhattan
in like a hundred degree
day on his riding around on his bike. I was like, all right, guy's probably worth a couple million
dollars riding around his bike. I may not agree with him, but at least he's got the guts to stand
by his convictions. Liberals don't. We like socialism. We own private property. No, you don't
like socialism. You're a fake. What's the second part of it? Prices. Socialism doesn't have prices.
Socialism has rationing. The prices are fake. There's no price mechanism because there's no
free market. You don't believe in prices, so you believe in rationing. There's no third way to
allocate resources. So you think things should be rationed. Rationed to who? Who should do the
rationing? You haven't thought any of that through because you don't know what capitalism is
and you're a fake.
You haven't thought of any of that.
Who should do the rationing in your system?
No, no, I don't think we should have rationing.
So you think we should have pricing?
No, no, no.
I think we should just have a giveaway.
To who?
That's called rationing.
Who does the giving away?
You haven't thought of that.
Of course you haven't.
You're a Democrat.
Third, wages.
People out there say, oh, I'm a socialist. I hate capitalism.
You take a wage, you collect a wage?
Because there are no true wages in a socialist system.
Are you aware of that?
From each according to his abilities, to each according to his means.
You are told what you do, what job you do.
And you are paid a false amount of,
the money means nothing.
It's irrelevant because there's no price system
and no free market.
You are told what to do.
You don't get to trade your labor
in a field you choose for a wage.
You have a job you like, then you're not a socialist.
Again, you didn't know that either.
It gets really, really frustrating
dealing with the stupidity.
All right, let me address this other thing too.
I was talking about here in the beginning.
Folks, I've been saying for years now, being part of this conservative content space,
I am going to tell you the truth.
There's nothing that will stop me.
I've saved my money my entire life to be able to be free.
I've sacrificed for a long time to be able to be free of the pressure people feel to say and do the easy thing and not
the right thing. I'm not doing that here. I'm not doing it ever. I engaged and put my own money and
reputation on the line because I knew a parallel economy was necessary and that big tech was crushing
freedom of speech and other freedoms as well in the United States. I did that and I've supported
others, by the way, who you would consider competitors to us. I had supported Parler.
I still have an ownership stake in Parler. I also have an ownership stake in Rumble. That doesn't
mean I agree with everything Parler did. I have an ownership stake in Rumble. That doesn't mean I agree with everything Parler did.
I have an ownership stake in Rumble too because I believe in doing, not talking.
Doing matters.
I've also supported others.
You've heard me on this show countless times.
You can go back and listen.
The proof is in the pudding.
When I mention alternative platforms,
did you notice I don't only mention my own?
I don't only say go to Parler and Rumble and don't do anything else.
I don't do that.
I don't.
I have mentioned Getter.
That's Jason Miller's site.
I've mentioned CloudHub.
That's Jeff Brain's site.
I've mentioned Gab.
That's Andrew Torbis' site.
It's there.
You can look for it.
It's there repeatedly.
Because it doesn't matter if I win.
It matters that we win.
It's not important for me. Again, I've saved my mind. I'm okay. It's not important for me to become a tech billionaire. What's important to me is that we are allowed to speak freely in a
free constitutional republic. And if the sites I'm involved with are the winners in the end,
that's terrific. If we're partial winners and other competitors emerge that are great too,
that's fine too. But I'm really tired of getting attacked by other people who don't see it the
same way and make it all about themselves. One of them is this joker from Gab, Andrew Torba,
who I'm really sorry if you've been fooled by this guy.
But this guy cares about one thing and one thing only, and that's himself.
We had a great day yesterday with Rumble, really the first viable YouTube competitor for video.
That has really exploded.
I am an investor in Rumble because I do, I don't talk.
And what happens today? You got this guy again. Now, for those of you out there, Dan, we should take this stuff
offline. Don't tell me about that. I promoted this guy's site. Tell this guy because it's all
about him. If he's not the center of attention, he attacks everyone else. So we sent out some bizarre newsletter today attacking Rumble.
And it's funny how he always deceives people and people buys.
Oh, Rumble is supported by a million dollar investment from a Facebook guy who invested in Facebook.
You know what he doesn't tell you?
He leaves out the name of who the Facebook guy is deliberately because he's a clown
the Facebook guy was Peter Thiel who is a tech investor who invests in a lot of things who by
the way spoke at the RNC the RNC where Donald Trump was nominated he leaves that out which is
kind of convenient and by the way he's one of many investors in Rumble.
Conservatives and just business people otherwise who are sick and tired
of the attacks on
free speech.
Then he proceeds to attack
Rumble because we've tried to bring on people
who believe in free speech who may not be
conservative. Tell me how that again
is fighting for... So you're Andrew
Torber from Gabby. You're fighting for free speech. Rumble brings on people who aren't conservative but actively believe in free speech and support it. And you're the free speech guy attacking them. Explain how that works again.
Gabbert, who I would never vote for and vehemently disagree with on a number of issues,
but who was a big supporter of free speech. And Glenn Greenwald, again, not a conservative,
but a journalist who supports free speech. They come on the platform, you attack them,
and you're the free speech guy. Explain to me again how that works, you fraud.
I will continue to promote Torb's site as an alternative to Twitter and others.
You have others out there.
You have Parler, which I'm involved in.
You have CloudHub.
You have Getter.
And I hope one, if not all of them succeed.
However, I'm not going to sit back anymore and listen to clowns, losers and frauds take pot shots out there as these fake evangelists for the cause who are only evangelists for one cause. And that's their own. Torba. Do you see a few weeks back when
Donald Trump, they came out that he may have his own social media platform. He attacked Trump too.
Everybody's a fake, but so really, so me, Peter Thiel, Donald Trumpald trump his family every the rumble everybody's a fraud
but andrew torva do you believe that you believe these people i gotta get hate i get nasty grams
from his uh supporters all the time he's a real warrior for the he is he's the only warrior has
no other warrior for the call him everyone else is the enemy trump teal me rumble we're all the
enemy but him well why is he having another one of his child, me, Rumble, we're all the enemy but him. Well, why is he having
another one of his childlike temper tantrums, which he has all the time, because he hasn't
been able to produce what he said he's been able to produce? Well, because we had a big day
yesterday, and it's sad he tried to stomp on it. You know what? Let me get to that in a second,
because I got to take a break here.
And it's best I kind of calm down.
It's been a rough week here so far.
Facing a lot of fights here, really.
And a lot of them are from the inside.
And I just wish we could link shields in the cause of liberty and freedom.
But we can't.
We can't.
I've warned you a long time ago.
I will continue to promote competitors, alternatives, all that stuff.
Others won't. The fight is not about liberty. It's about them. And I just wish people would
see the difference. It's tough as sure. I've done it a long time. You may lose some of you,
but that's okay. I'm not sacrificing my principles for anything. Not for Fox, not for Gab, not for anyone. It's not happening.
They did the right thing and that matters. You want to just give up all these things?
We need platforms. We've got to be able to speak. We can't be attacking each other all the time.
We can't. We have to be able to speak. It's important.
Things happen.
People screw up all the time.
We've got to be able to fix it and link shields and fight the 30-front war ahead of us,
not turn the spears the other way towards us.
It's not working.
Listen, in case you missed it, Biden decided to go to Chicagoago this week to meet with mayor laurie life or to discuss gun violence you feel safe you feel safe in chicago years ago i wouldn't have

of their products that they're fantastic okay so we had a big day yesterday uh with rumble rumble
has been a godsend for me and others as an alternative to get my platform out here and i
appreciate everyone who's gone there and has downloaded my videos,
Donald Trump's videos, and others.
There are a bunch of people on Rumble.
So big tech, of course, big media, liberals, and big government,
the symbiote went on the attack yesterday
because we picked up a couple of non-Republicans
who are interested in free speech, and they can't have that
because they want to paint Rumble as some fringe right-wing lunatic site. That's their goal. That's what they want
to do. So they lost their minds yesterday. So Jeff Bezos is, you know, Amazon Jeff Bezos,
his Washington Post paper combined with big tech YouTube, the liberals and big government to attack
us. Attacked us for what? Well, if you watched Tucker Carlson's show last night, Tucker covered this story. Again, I did not talk to Tucker about it at all. He took this
on his own. He didn't talk about this with Fox at all. This was the opening of Tucker's show last
night discussing Glenn Greenwald joining Rumble. Check this out. Glenn Greenwald has been working
on that for quite some time. He spent the last couple of months gathering a group of free
thinkers and planning a move to an alternative video platform called Rumble.
At Rumble, free speech is the whole point. They don't have censorship. You can say what you want,
like you lived in America. So naturally, the totalitarians are infuriated by this idea. It's
a challenge to their hegemony. YouTube's Susan Wojcicki from the marketing department has pulled
down at least one video promoting Rumble. Jeff Bezos's newspaper attacked it today. That means the New York Times
will soon be on it, along with The Atlantic and The Daily Beast and all the rest of the
Praetorian Guard. Your job? Ignore it. You know they are liars. They are frantically defending
a system that no one believes in anymore. Yeah, no one does believe in it. And he knows that.
And sadly, this Praetorian guard of anti-civil liberties advocates, the big tech companies,
the big media hookers, because that's what they are, liberals and big government have combined
to try to take us down. Here's what I mean. Look at this yesterday. You saw this article in the Washington Post about
Rumble by Drew Harwell, who failed to make quite a few disclosures in this piece. It's a hit piece
on Rumble. He says, Rumble, a YouTube rival popular with conservatives, will pay creators
who challenge the status quo. Well, down in the piece, of course, in an effort to take a shot at
Rumble, he cites a guy, Sirian O'Connor. I don't even know if it's, I don't know if it's that guy or I'm not sure.
I'm not trying to be a jerk about it. Sirian O'Connor, an analyst with the Institute for
Strategic Dialogue. So he says this has become one of the main platforms for conspiracy communities
and far right communities in the U.S. and around the world. So the Institute for Strategic Dialogue is attacking Rumble and the Peace,
and the Washington Post is more than happy to parrot it.
He says he's seen videos removed from mainstream sites
reappear and multiply across Rumble.
He worries that the site's growing prominence
will give people a bigger megaphone
to spread misinformation about the effectiveness or risks of vaccines.
Do you hear what they do here?
So the Institute, what is that, for strategic development or whatever the hell it is? to spread misinformation about the effectiveness or risks of vaccines. Do you hear what they do here?
So the Institute, what is that, for strategic development or whatever the hell it is?
Washington Post goes to them.
Jeff Bezos, the king of big tech tyranny, who owns the Washington Post, his paper says, my gosh, our friends at Google who owns YouTube are under attack.
We've got to do something to take down the first viable video contender to YouTube that's emerged.
We are going to make sure we destroy them.
So what is Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post do?
They go to this Institute for Strategic Dialogue or whatever the hell it calls itself.
It was a hit job, the Washington Post piece, and it was a coordinated one.
But they didn't make a key disclosure about Syrian O'Connor and their Institute for Strategic Dialogue, which Glenn Greenwald, who is on Rumble now, was more than happy to point out because he does actual journalism.
When you go to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue like Glenn did, you'll notice he has a couple of their funders highlighted. Oh, so we have governments
that fund this. So a big government, the United Kingdom, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
and the U.S. State Department fund the Institute for Strategic Dialogue. And in the private sector,
oh, look who funds them. Google, Google.org, YouTube and Facebook. Drew Harwell, author of
the piece. I mean, it's the Washington Post. No one takes
Drew or the Washington Post seriously anyway. We get that. But for the 1% of people that actually
believe the Washington Post is a serious journalism outfit, maybe in the future,
be a good idea to disclose that your people you're using to attack Rumble work for Rumble's,
work for an organization funded by Rumble's competitor. Maybe that's a good idea.
When was the last time you heard me mention Rumble or Parler without mentioning in a disclosure that I am an equity
owner? The answer is you've never heard that because I believe in ethics and honesty. I have
no problem with disclosing things because it's the right thing to do. Drew Harwell, who pretends to
be a journalist, does the easy thing, cites the Institute for Strategic Dialogue or Development
or whatever the hell they are. And it never mentions the fact that yes by the way they're funded by rumbles uh by rumbles
competitors kind of weird how that happens every single time by the way i got a little ask dan
coming up later your questions so i'm gonna be sure to get to that but i want to get to a few
things first you know let me get to my uh my third sponsor because i'm running a little bit behind
today again i'm just frustrated by everybody insisting out there,
people on this side that somehow the show is guided by anything other than
ethics and morals and the integrity of what I believe in.
I'm sorry, but that's not what's happening here.
This show is, we're committed to that.
It's all that matters.
All right.

so I stopped doing that because my voice is so awful.

Joe is a professional.
I appreciate that. Thank you, Joe. You're welcome. You're welcome voice is so old. Joe is a professional. I appreciate
that. You're welcome. You're welcome. That's all right. That's good. I get it. I get it. We'll
dig once in a while. It's okay. I appreciate that. We've been together long enough. I'm comfortable
enough. All right, folks, moving on. So, you know, the Biden administration is lying to us about
COVID and the border and the evidence now is everywhere. I'm going to go through this segment
quick because it's important that you see the misinformation campaign that ironically,
the Institute for Strategic Dialogue says Rumble's engaged in is a misinformation campaign itself.
But notice how they never call out the Biden administration for a easily provable misinformation
campaign on COVID and the border. Here's what's going on at the border. Mark Morgan, who's a terrific guy, was the former CBP commissioner, Customs and Border Patrol,
gave an interview yesterday, and he has sources on the inside. He gave a stunning number. Paul
Bedard covered it in the Washington Examiner. You can see it in my newsletter, this article today,
that the DHS, they dropped 40,000 COVID positive migrants into U.S. cities.
Mark Morgan said, you think his sources aren't good?
40,000.
Even worse, here's another article from the Washington Examiner by Anna G. Artelli.
We put it up earlier in the week.
40% of migrants released into Texas border city test positive for COVID-19, officials say.
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to be crystal clear, and I'll get to it in a second.
The Biden DHS themselves have noted that this is factually correct,
that many of the migrants entering the country illegally are in fact COVID positive.
That is not open for dispute.
It is official court filings.
We'll get to in a second.
But they're lying to you.
They're lying about COVID.
They're lying about the border. Biden and the administration are lying about texas and they're lying about
florida please do not trust these utter buffoons i am begging you you will be misinformed and you
will make poor decisions here remember cnn here it is fact checking claims that migrants on the
southern border are to blame for COVID surge.
Folks, I just gave you the data.
Are they exclusively to blame for the COVID surge?
No.
Do they have blame for the COVID surge?
If you believe in virology, you're telling me you're going to dump 40,000 COVID-positive patients around the United States and it's not going to even remotely impact the surge?
Can you be that stupid? The answer is yes. You work at CNN. Of course you can be that stupid.
So they're lying about that, CNN, because that's what CNN does. And again, it ties in,
I like to keep a flow to the show, to the narrative of today's show, how big tech,
big media, liberals, and big government all combine to lie to you and misinform you.
Notice how CNN immediately jumps in to defend the Biden administration,
even though the Biden administration had to admit in court cases
we're admitting people into the country by the tens of thousands that are COVID positive.
Notice how it all works together?
Here's the media that got nailed in an outright lie.
Here's a tweet by a guy named Steve Dennis who says, Hey man,
this is one heck of a correction.
No, it sure is.
An earlier version in a story,
apparently in the Texas Tribune stated that for a seven day period,
unbelievable 5,800 children were hospitalized in Texas.
According to the CDC.
Whoa, that's serious, folks.
Well, that number correctly referred to children hospitalized with COVID-19.
Remember, not because of.
Since the pandemic began.
In reality, 783 children were admitted to Texas hospitals between July 1st and August 9th.
Yeah, Guy says, Joe, Guy says, don't worry, just an accident.
Yeah, I'm sure.
I'm sure it is.
It's amazing how the accidents only seem to affect Texas and Florida, Republican states, isn't it?
5,800 a week.
The number is actually 700.
Oh my gosh. Really sorry, folks. You know, lie travels around the world before anyone even
hears the truth. Here's a story we covered a few days ago. Texas led by a Republican,
Florida led by a Republican. So the CDC apparently lied about that too. CDC reports false COVID data for Florida
and leaves major questions.
Banshee at Red State.
The CDC put out data suggesting that Florida
had a record number of infections on Sunday.
Well, what did they do?
They added two days numbers together
to make Sunday's number seem bigger,
despite the fact that Florida gave them the accurate number.
Please, I'm begging you, please, it is time to link shields
and fight the 30-front war in front of us.
Please, please, please.
I am begging you guys on this side.
Please, we have to prioritize and triage our fights right now.
Eating each other alive is going to rapidly destroy this place.
Rapidly.
I'm not talking years.
I'm talking months.
Here's a guy who gets it and knows that all of these lies are a big distraction from the
chaos we're undergoing right now.
Here's Ron DeSantis.
He was on Tucker last night. He was asked about the CDC lying about the Florida numbers. undergoing right now. Here's Ron DeSantis. He was on Tucker last night.
He was asked about the CDC
lying about the Florida numbers.
Check this out.
The standard data entry,
and they took three days worth of data,
put it over two,
obviously made it look like
it was a massive increase.
And I don't know what exactly happened.
I don't know what the motivation is.
But as you alluded to,
the White House,
they're more concerned about
trying to attack me than actually dealing with the problems of the country. the motivation is. But as you alluded to, the White House, they're more concerned about trying
to attack me than actually dealing with the problems of the country. I don't see them dealing
with the border crisis. I don't see them dealing with inflation. Obviously, energy prices are out
of control. But yet they have this obsession with Florida. And look, obviously, we're cutting
against the grain. We're standing up to federal overreach. And we're proud of doing that. But
they should really focus on getting the job done that they were elected to do. And they're not doing that
right now. Governor DeSantis gets it. This is all a big distraction. All of it. The country's in
chaos. The Biden administration is absolutely committed to distractions. So the Biden
administration has calculated, trust me, this is a fact.
They've calculated that if they turn the fire, if they turn the fire on Ron DeSantis,
the Republican governor of Florida and Texas, and lie about them and make things up, the hack stupid media, CNN, the fact checkers and others won't report on the chaos the country's in
and will focus their ire on Republicans instead.
And the media dutifully plays along because that's what they do. Here's a moment, however,
of rare honesty. New York Magazine did an interview and they're trying to play this down.
They say, hey, don't panic, but breakthrough cases may be a bigger problem than you've been told.
What, is CDC misleading us again?
They do an interview, I believe, with a
doctor from Harvard, and this interview's
fascinating. If you haven't seen this,
you should.
We've been told these breakthrough cases
are rare, exceedingly rare.
But the expert says,
I think the message of breakthrough cases
are exceedingly rare. You don't have to
worry about them if you're vaccinated.
That this is only an epidemic of the unvaccinated.
He says, message is falling flat.
If it was still the alpha variant, sure.
But with Delta, plenty of people are getting sick.
Plenty of transmissions going on.
And my personal opinion is that the whole notion of herd immunity from two vaccine doses
is flying out the window quickly with this new variant.
It's probably going to fly out the window even more quickly with variants to come.
Not to panic anyone, folks, I told you we're going to have to live with this virus.
But there are people out there who are telling the truth.
You know, maybe we should listen to them and stop focusing like YouTube wants to crushing any conservative who speaks his mind on their platform.
By the way, you didn't hear about this, right?
The super spreader event, Obama's party and Martha's Vineyard.
Why? Of course, because it reflects poorly on the Democrats.
So the 14 day change in covid cases in Dukes County, Massachusetts, Martha's Vineyard.
Remember where Obama had his party? Plus 2,050%.
Again, folks, I'm not attacking Obama's party.
I've said it repeatedly.
Everyone should go and live their life
and take the risks they want to take
or don't take the risks they don't.
I'm not attacking Obama for his party.
I'm attacking Obama because he's a fraud and a hypocrite.
And the media, because you are frauds and hypocrites too.
If that was Donald Trump's birthday party,
Mouth is Vineyard, and there was a 2000% increase in the county it was in,
you'd be reporting about it breathlessly,
foaming at the mouth and screaming at the sky every day.
But because it's Barack Obama, the chosen one,
your Messiah, your golden calf, you ignore it.
And we have to go to truth tellers.
What is it?
Oh, yes, right.
That is what we're hearing.
Crickets at night.
Nothing.
Thank you, Joe.
I forgot.
There was a sound effect there.
Yeah, crickets.
You have to rely on Twitchy and other truth tellers to get you the truth.
But again, keep relying on the media.
Let's not turn the fight within, folks.
We're not each other's enemy.
None of us are going to be perfect.
None of us are ever going to be as pure as the other one demands.
The fight is that way.
The fight is that way.
It's not this way.
All right, moving on, showing you how this is important,
and the media continues, continues to parrot leftist lies.
Here is Breonna Keillor, who has, we'll get to, she's been training hard, folks.
I'll get to that in a second.
Breonna Keillor, who is a misinformation specialist from CNN, is really an embarrassment to the network.
She's working her way up onto the medal stand of dopey talking head personalities.
You know the rankings.
Brian Stelter's been the gold medal winner now for, gosh, I don't know, Joe,
five years, is it?
Who knows?
It's been a long time.
He's an impressive streak, I must say.
Yeah, he is the king.
It's up there with, like, DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak.
Ripken's, it's up there with that.
I mean, Cal Ripken playing in 2,000-plus games.
It's one of those streaks.
It really is.
Joy Reid has moved in.
She trained hard.
She's now the silver medalist
in the dopey talking head olympics and um chuck todd has been demoted to number three though he's
trying hard he's trying to get back into the medal stand in the silver position brianna keeler's been
working hard as well so uh we'll show her she's training so we'll get to that picture in a second
but here's brianna keeler on cnn i'm saying a lie she either didn't know or is too stupid to
figure out, saying, oh, yeah, the COVID thing has nothing to do with migrants at the border or
anything like that. Apparently hasn't read the government's own documents. So check this out.
You have hundreds of thousands of people pouring across every month. Not only are they letting
them through, they're then farming them out all across our communities, across this country,
they're then farming them out all across our communities across this country,
putting them on planes, putting them on buses.
That claim is not based in fact.
There's no proof of some large-scale importation of COVID-sickened migrants to Florida that could be blamed for the terrible infection numbers in DeSantis' state.
And as we noted, hundreds of thousands of immigrants are being expelled.
I literally just gave you the stories that this is that what Breonna Keillor just said is false.
But Breonna Keillor is just either seriously.
What is there an option?
See, she's either too stupid to read Breonna Keillor or she can read.
And she's a very skilled liar.
There's no option.
See, she's either dumb or she's a liar.
Here's a Ryan Savedra did some homework on this.
He had highlighted Breonna Keillor's lying on the air,
and he's waiting for Breonna Keillor to correct herself
because he states, accurately so, Ryan, who did actual homework,
that Biden's own Department of Homeland Security stated in court documents
that are uploaded to CNN's website last week,
quote, the DHS has also experienced significantly increased rates
of non-citizens testing positive
for COVID-19.
That is on CNN's website
where Breonna Keillor
just said the opposite.
Again, these people are liars and frauds.
Now, Breonna's training hard
to get on the medal stand.
She's trying to,
she may be going for number two.
So they got a photo.
Thank you, gentlemen.
There's Brianna.
She's practicing hard.
She's training.
That's a very nice front squat.
What is that?
Is that a clean and snatch?
I don't know what the clean and jerk.
Clean and jerk.
Okay.
She's training hard.
Training on the shoulder development right there.
She's working on it.
So we'll see where she gets.
She may get on the medal stand soon.
She is really trying hard
with her history of lying or outright
ignorance and stupidity. Nice work.
Is that a real picture?
Is that real? Is that a real shot?
Yeah, it's a real shot. I don't think the
face is real, but that's a real shot.
It's real to me.
Fact checkers incoming. Fact checkers.
It's a joke. It's a
joke. She's not really doing the clean and jerk in the Olympics. Fact checkers incoming fact checkers. It's a joke. It's a joke. She's not really doing the clean
and jerk in the Olympics. Fact checkers. Okay. Lead stories, lead stories. That's not a real
photo of Brianna killer. Okay. PolitiFact you got it. Cause this is what these idiots do all day.
I'm glad you brought that up with the fact checker. Don't laugh. They may
actually do that. All right. Let me get to my last sponsor. And then we got to jump to
questions with Dan. And then we're going to go a little bit out of order.
My final sponsor today. Listen, I live with chronic pain. It sucks. It's part of life.
No snowflakes here though, right? But what do I do? I use Omax. It's been terrific. It's more
than just discomfort. It affects everything.

account and I appreciate it. Listen, cutesy time's over, folks. I told you that a long time ago.
Parents are taking the gloves off and now they're ready to fight. They are ready to politically and
ideologically fight back against these crazy school boards
pushing CRT and all kinds of divisive ideologies down their throats, mask mandates and otherwise.
I don't know this woman.
I've never met her in my life, but she wasn't having any of this crap last night.
The mask mandate, she showed up at a school board meeting and man, did she let the school
board have it.
This is about, it goes on for a while, but this is about a minute of it. This is just beautiful.
This is my cutesy time is over hero of the week. Check this out.
It's interesting to see all of you with masks. Now you're kind of social distanced. What's the
deal? I bet you when you're in a restaurant over the weekend, you didn't have your mask on, did you? Anyway, I was told tonight to be nice.
I find it hard to be nice when I think of my kid being able to breathe all day in school.
I would lay down my life for my child.
And when I see tyranny like this, it is my child, my choice.
Let me give you an example. Your chairwoman or vice chair who isn't here today, she is very proud to be earned the Planned Parenthood Advocates of
Virginia's endorsement, access to reproductive care to protect the rights of everybody. So when
it comes to abortion, she's okay, my body, my choice. But when it comes to our children, man, let's get back to this is about mask.
Well, it's my body, my kid's body, his choice.
I'm the parent that's on topic.
Don't disrupt me.
You always do that.
I'm talking about masks.
I'm trying to be nice, but stop cutting us off.
I love this woman. I don't know who she is, but God bless you.
I don't know you. I looked, I looked, I looked, I found it on Sebastian Gorka's social media feed.
I don't know who she is. I don't even know the county. I only found it 10 minutes before the
show. I will try to find out a name, a county, but God bless you, whoever you are.
QT time's over, folks.
QT time's over.
It's like, I'm trying to be nice,
but I'm not going to be nice.
I'm sick of you losers.
Good.
Good.
All right, let's get to the questions for Dan.
You were kind enough to submit them.
If you would like to submit a question,
subscribe to my rumble account.
It's rumble.com slash Bongino.
And you can submit a question comment under any of the videos.
Guy goes through them throughout the week and we compile them and we try to
pick some that represent,
you know,
we get some of the same questions.
So we pick questions that represent kind of a group of people.
So here's what we got.
Hey,
Dan,
I'd love to know where you are getting hope
that this country can be saved.
That's by Nensensen54.
You know, it's an easy answer.
I have faith, folks.
I have faith.
I'm not trying to push my faith down your throats,
but I am a Christian.
I'm a believer in Jesus Christ.
You may or may not be, but I'm proud of that.
I'm proud to openly advocate for that.
And I believe that this is all a tryout
for the second creation.
I believe in my heart that there is a second creation
and that the pain and misery and the
suffering you put in today to fighting for the cause of liberty and freedom for everyone,
people you don't even know in many cases, is your ticket to the second creation.
You're going to be asked, I believe, like everyone else, what you did at the gates of
heaven or whatever afterlife you may believe in.
You're going to be asked for your resume for freedom and liberty and good deeds. What are you going to say? You know,
I don't know if I'm going to get into heaven or not. I read The Case for Christ and it was
a great book and made me question everything. Like, gosh, am I doing the right thing? It's a
great book, The Case for Christ. If you haven't read it, that's going on our reading list.
Makes a great point in The Case for Christ. He says, you know, think about it.
People die for their religion all the time.
That's not unique.
They did.
People died for their religion throughout human history.
They do it now.
But very few people die for something they know to be a fraud, right?
So he brings up in the book, the author in the case for Christ, he says, wouldn't it
be strange if the apostles who martyred themselves, why would they do that if they knew the whole
thing was a fraud?
Question changed everything for me.
What does that have to do with the country?
I believe this country was blessed by the hand of God.
This country shouldn't be here.
We shouldn't be here we shouldn't there is no reasonable logical reason why this country should exist we defeated the british empire in a war we had a one in a million chance of winning we defeated them again in 1812
we had a one in a billion chance of winning we defeated them in 1812 some have argued just
because of a thunderstorm in D.C.
You know, we got through a civil war that probably should have annihilated us.
We've been through the hippie era, which, joke, it was probably worse than all of it. I'm kidding.
Fact checkers. Fact checkers is a joke. But we're still here. We've survived Joe Biden so far,
we've survived joe biden so far barack obama jimmy carter we've survived it all and not only are we still here we're still the most prosperous relatively free people on planet earth
it's there's no way there's not some heavenly intervention there
listen there may be pie in the sky stuff. You may think, I believe it.
You asked me, I'm giving you my answer. God won't let us go down. He won't, but he's not going to
let you sit by and not put skin in the game either. You know, he recruits warriors for freedom
and liberty. You're one of them. So is that woman who stood up, by the way.
I think we will be safe.
It's my opinion.
You're free to feel otherwise,
but I'm never going to give that up.
All right, question two.
Hey, Dan, how about a list of Republicans
to look at during primaries to unseat rhinos?
That's by Wayne1957Adams.
Great question.
I mentioned one of them yesterday. We will be doing this during the
course of the show throughout the year, the primaries are next year. We highlighted Catalina
Lauf running against Rhino Adam Kinzinger for an Illinois congressional seat. I think she's a great
candidate, worked in the Trump administration, had her on my radio show. We're not only going to talk
about him again. What do I always tell you, folks?
Talk is cheap.
You got to do.
Well, my do is to bring people on my show and introduce them to a national audience.
We also had another spectacular candidate in Alaska primarying that rhino, Lisa Murkowski,
a disgrace to the Republican Party, who was handed her seat basically by her dad.
Lisa Murkowski is being primaryed by Kelly Cheowski is being primary by Kelly Chewbacca,
Kelly Chewbacca in Alaska.
If you're not supporting her and you're a believer in liberty and freedom and
you're supporting Murkowski, I'm sorry, but I have to ask you,
what are you thinking? So Lisa Murkowski is a Democrat.
She's not even like a remotely a Republican ever.
She's on the wrong side of every issue that matters.
Kelly Chewbacca, that's your candidate. We'll be bringing up more and we'll be having him on the
show as well. Again, you got to do talk is cheap. Let's go to question number three. Hey, Dan,
during your time with the Secret Service, did you ever work with counterparts or the intelligence
services here in Britain? What were your impressions?
And did your opinion change due to the involvement of Christopher Steele
in the Spygate dodgy dossier hoax?
That's from WEMAC.
I did work with the United Kingdom Security Services, however, not in the UK.
I have not been to the United Kingdom.
I've been all over Europe, but not there.
But remember, they come here.
So when you're with the New York field office of the Secret Service, what's in New York?
The UN and the UN General Assembly, UNGA as we call it, happens every year, right around September-ish, September, kind of around there, if I remember correctly.
It was right around the fall.
So all these foreign digs, foreign dignitaries, call them digs because everyone in law enforcement,
you got to have like jargon. Foreign digs, you know, it sounds like cool to have jargon.
So the foreign, right, everybody does that, right? Everybody loves jargon. It sounds cool.
So foreign digs would come into UNGA every year and we would have to protect them. So I've worked
quite often with their security services and they're very talented. They're very good.
They have a different mode of security than we do in the Secret Service in the United States.
They're very good.
They have a different mode of security than we do in the Secret Service in the United States.
It's kind of strange.
They do more of, I don't want to give up any of their secrets, obviously,
but they do more of kind of an undercover thing.
We're more out there, earpieces, suits.
But it's not better or worse.
It's just different.
I thought they were fantastic, very skilled. Did my opinion of them change due to Christopher Steele?
No, because we don't work as much with the intelligence services over there, MI5 and MI6, as we do with the security services that actually provide physical security.
So I would be lying to you if I said my opinion changed because it's hard for me to have one, given that my experience with them, the intelligence portion, not the protection portion, was kind of limited. But good question regardless. I like that
a lot. Okay, we're doing good here. All right, next question. Hey Dan, with all the money being
spent by the Democrats, will it be possible to reverse the spending once we the people are back
in control? That's by 0244 Patriot. You know, folks, the answer is yes,
but it's going to require principled people
with guts and spines.
And sadly, they're few and far between.
That's why these primaries are so important.
Let me give you the good scenario,
the bad scenario, and the ugly scenario.
Let's do it in reverse.
Unlike the Lee Van Cleef show,
the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Let's go in reverse, right? Let's do ugly first. The Unlike the Lee Van Cleef show, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Let's go in reverse, right?
Let's do ugly first.
The ugly scenarios,
we just keep spending what we're spending now.
And my guess is we will be de facto bankrupt
within 10 years.
I say de facto because we can always print money
and pretend we're not bankrupt,
but we'll be effectively bankrupt
because your money will be worth nothing.
So you can say like,
hey, I've got a billion dollars in the bank.
Oh my God, you're a billionaire.
And then the billion dollars buys you a loaf of bread.
Are you really a billionaire or are you a billionaire?
You get what I mean?
So the ugly scenario is we do nothing.
And my prediction is we'll be effectively bankrupt in 10 years.
The bad, the bad is, I say bad, not ugly, because it would maybe stop the decline,
but wouldn't bring back prosperity is if we put a cap on spending today,
if we put a cap on spending today said we are not going to spend any more outside of an adjustment
for inflation, we would probably delay bankruptcy by maybe 20 or 30 years, your lifetime if you're
in your 70s or 80s. But we would go bankrupt just later. What would be the good scenario if we
elected we the people and people who support us? We would cap spending today at the nominal number,
disregard inflation, and pledge to cut back spending 1%,
1% every year for the next 20 years.
We would also reform our entitlement programs.
We would say people 55 or older, we get it.
You made these promises.
Promises were broken.
However, you designed your life around them.
We are going to take care of you 55 or older.
We get that. 55 and younger, I'm sorry. We don't have any money. There's just no money. I'm are going to take care of you 55 or older. We get that. 55 and
younger, I'm sorry. We don't have any money. There's just no money. I'm not going to lie to
you. You're either going to pay taxes or we're going to give you benefits. You can't have both.
If you want the benefits, you're going to have to pay 90% tax rates. If you don't want the benefits,
we can leave taxes away. There's no other way. There's no other way. So that's the ugly, the bad and the
good, but we can fix it. The question is, we have people of the guts. It's a mathematical certainty.
We'll go bankrupt otherwise. All right. Last question. Gosh, man, I thought I'd have time
for this Cassidy stuff. I'll cover it on my Fox show this weekend. Hey, Dan, if the Democrats are
not stupid, why are they running the country this way? And what's really
going on? It does involve China. Yes and yes. Yes, the Democrats are not stupid. So it's actually
kind of a no. The Democrats have planned for a long time to create a social entitlement state.
The only way to do that and to get people to latch on to the government teat is to bankrupt them.
And their only income source will be from government. It's also why they hate the police.
They can't stand the police because the police involve law and order. There's no better way to
create fear and chaos than to create fear and chaos in the street and get people to need government
and seek more government. I know it sounds counterintuitive because the police are a branch
of government, but fear and chaos are a coin to the realm for the Democrats. They enjoy it. They
need it for you to sacrifice your freedoms. What's going on? It doesn't involve China. It does. China has been working with big tech
incorporations and liberals in the United States for a long time. Whether the liberals in the
United States know it or not, China has been promoting BLM and this other stuff to promote
divisiveness in the United States to make sure it collapses and China succeeds in the end.
China uses useful idiots in our media now.
They tell American corporations what to do.
That's why American corporations like Nike and others
will support Black Lives Matter,
even though they're a Marxist terror group,
but they won't support attacking China
and China's attack on the Uyghurs and political liberties.
China's got a lot to do with it.
All right, folks, I appreciate it.
Unfortunately, I'm out of time.
I had more to talk about.
I will get to it on my show this weekend on Unfiltered on Fox,
10 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday.
I hope you tune in.
We have cleared up that situation on my insistence,
and I appreciate Fox taking care of it.
I will be there Saturday night, 10 p.m.
I have Dr. Marty Makary, who is an expert on this vaccine.
I'm going to get to the questions you have.
Is antibody-dependent enhancement at work?
Why is the vaccine not doing what it was projected to do?
I'm going to get to all of that.
Kids in schools, I've got a climate debate.
They have a new climate report out.
You're not going to want to miss that.
And I've got another kind of surprise at the end, so check that out.
Unfiltered, 10 p.m. Eastern Time, Fox News Channel, Saturday night.
I'll see you there.
See you on Monday.
Good day, sir!
You just heard Dan Bongino.
