Dan Bongino. Reclaiming my time. I'm reclaiming my time. This is reclaiming. This is my time. It's my time. Reclaiming my time from YouTube and from the tech tyrants out there. Kind of blended two stories there together. Obviously, we're going to talk about the reclaiming my time debacle for the Democrats up on Capitol Hill yesterday.

The dreaded air quotes hearing for Bill Barr. Well, they asked Bill Barr a question and magically reclaimed their time every time he tried to answer it. And we're going to be reclaiming our time from the tech tyrants that I'm going to show you the evidence that they are not only squashing our show, squashing Breitbart and elsewhere. I'm going to leave you a note of optimism too, because their business model is absolute garbage. Today's show brought to you by our friends at ExpressVPN.

Producer Joe, how are you today after that disastrous hearing, hearing on Capitol Hill yesterday? Who were they hearing?

You know, I don't know. I don't know. A wonderful question. I have no idea. Poor Joe sat there this morning and had to cut all these. I got, I have the low lights. Again, there were no highlights. And I've titled that segment, The Village of Idiots.

We're going to go through the lowlights. The Democrats just humiliating. If you, listen to me, if you came out of that hearing yesterday thinking that Bill Barr is anything other than a national hero and the Democrats have anything more than a double digit IQ, seek professional mental health support immediately. It wasn't, believe me, it was a disaster. No sane person watched that thought, gosh, these Democrats are really good. All right, got a lot to get through today,

including some Spygate connections that are going to blow your mind and some other video of Lori Lightfoot in Chicago saying something not supported by the facts at all about gun control. All right, today's show brought to you by Friendsat. What? What am I jersey popping for?

All right, Joe, let's go. There's the bell.

So let's get right to yesterday. There was actually something that came out of that disaster up on Capitol Hill yesterday. Falsely called a hearing. The good news is this. Attorney General Bill Barr was up on the hell and dropped this little bombshell up there that seemed to slip in amongst the Reclaiming My Time debacle. Check this out, Wall Street Journal. Bill Barr announced yesterday, remember all those unmaskings in the Obama administration where they were basically wiretapping people? That's what

unmaskings are. You're listening in on a conversation. The name's supposed to be hidden, masked, and you unmask it. So you're effectively listening in on people's conversations, wiretapping them. So Bill Barr has another prosecutor out there, which we learned about yesterday. A U.S. attorney is looking at Obama-era unmasking, Wall Street Journal. Oh, really? This little, I'm loving Bill Barr more by the minute yesterday. This guy came out of the hearing yesterday looking like He-Man. Everyone else came out of there looking like Skeletor or who would you think the ram head be He-Man guy. I used to love He-Man when I was a

kid. Remember the man at arms and all them. So from this article, we found this out yesterday. Another gem. So bars assigned John Bash, a US attorney, to review the Obama-Iran maskings. This is key. Why does this matter, folks? So we know the Obama team used these unmasking rules to legally spy on people, right? But where were the crimes committed? Back to this piece.

Here's where the crimes may have been committed. Too quick on the swing. Every time. The unmaskings themselves may have been legal, but the classified information in the transcripts was leaked to the press. Oh, I've been telling you about this for years in order to damage the Trump administration. Mr. Barr said U.S. Attorney Bash is looking at the high number of unmaskings at the time, including some that do not readily appear in the line of normal business.

This was a huge bombshell yesterday at the hearing. Again, that managed to fly under the radar screen because of all the silly Democrat theatrics. Reclaiming my time, morons. They looked so stupid yesterday. It was really humiliating. Do you ever wonder how in a country of 330 million people, 200 members of Congress who were the 200 dumbest people on the planet, on the Democrat side, all managed to get elected

to the same position at the same time? Doesn't that, does that ever bother you? 330 million people. If you had to take the intellectual dregs, the dumbest of those 330 million people, if you found them all, they all managed to get elected to Congress. We're being led by dunces,

by double-digit IQ morons. This is an important revelation. The unmaskings were a big deal. The Obama administration, I'm going to move on because i gotta get a lot i got a ton to fit in today but the obama unmaskings were essentially wire tapping their political opponents they use legal loopholes to do it via these masking unmasking laws but the real crime is that some of that information that was unmasked wound up in the

media which is a federal crime again i am out of the prediction games with the DOJ. I've been let down a million times before. Who's going to be indicted? Who's going to be arrested? I can't control that. I can't. I don't have federal law enforcement powers anymore. All I can tell you is if we're looking at it, we find something and there are indictments

that would be really good news. Let's start off with this gem from our friend at Graby and Thomas Elliott. Check him out on social media. He's terrific. This is a quick montage of the Democrats at a hearing, allegedly a hearing, where they're supposedly asking Bill Barr questions. And they did this stunt yesterday, which I hope the Republicans now replicate every time. You're like, no, you can't do that. It's immoral. No, no, no. They said Robert's rules of order are out the window. Here's a montage of the Democrats shutting Bill Barr down

as he tries to answer every question with the reclaiming the time stunt. Check this out. Isn't that correct? No, what is correct is that, what is corrected on February 10th, Monday, I gave instructions as to what the... Reclaiming my time. Yeah, I'm answering your question.

Well, you've got to let him answer. Reclaiming my time. On February 10th. Sir. On February 10th, I directed... Reclaiming my time, sir. Reclaiming my time. And I know you don't want to answer. You are wrong, Mr. Trumgenow. That was... He found the investigation had been initiated properly.

He said he found no evidence. Reclaiming my time without political bias. He said he found no evidence. He said he found no evidence. Reclaiming my time without political bias. He said he found no evidence. Reclaiming my time. Reclaiming my time. Reclaiming my time. Without any remedy at all. I'm reclaiming my time.

When people resist law enforcement, they're not peaceful. Reclaiming my time. I'm surprised at your lack of respect. Gentleman does not have the time. I don't want the time. I just want the Attorney General to be able to have enough time to respond to accusations and questions asked him and you guys not

cut him off. What you want is irrelevant. Do you have anything you want to say in response to the speeches that have been given by the other side and then you've been cut off? Yeah, well, let's on Lafayette. The gentleman's time has expired. Tell me the name side and then you've been cut off. Yeah, well, let's, on Lafayette, on Lafayette.

The gentleman's time has expired. Tell me the name of the cases. I don't have the name of the cases. Where were they? Carolina and Alabama. You'll have a chance to comment after your testimony is done here today. That it is not a self-defining term. I've only got two minutes, sir. That they recognized Mr. Barr, if I may. Yeah, but this is a

hearing. I thought I was the one that was supposed to be heard. Well, let me, and I'm going to get there. What was the point of that? I listened to that whole thing yesterday. What was the point? I don't understand what the point of that was. Did you hear that one dope from Arizona? The Democrat was his name, Stanton. He's like, no, no, you'll have a chance to

comment when the hearing's over. Well, what's the point of the hearing? Right, Joe? You get to hear. If you don't need Barr's comments, you're a congressman. Go in front of the microphones on C-SPAN. Give your speech,

and Barr can respond from the DOJ. What's the point? Of course, there was never a point, ladies and gentlemen, that Democrats are double-digit IQ morons who all managed to get elected at the same time to positions of power to Lord Orverus. The dumbest people in the country wound up finding their way in one fell swoop to Capitol Hill at the same time. I listened to the whole thing scratching my head. So let's go through the village of idiots. Here's

idiot number one, the absolutely hapless, fake tough guy loser from Rhode Island, David Cicilline, a Russian conspiracy theory hoaxer who still lies to his constituents, is a disgrace to his constituents. Anyone who knows this guy, how does this guy wake up and look his family in the eye? He was one of the big collusion hoaxers. He got caught in the biggest lie, promoting the biggest scandal and defending the weaponization of government. That's who this guy is. Defending anti-First Amendment political spying. Despite the fact that he got busted lying numerous times and was humiliated on every interview he did on Fox, Cicilline, this loser. This loser, he goes again yesterday up in front of the alleged hearing and leaves out a significant piece of information about political bias when he said this. Check this out. In December 2019, the Justice Department's own inspector general, your department's, Michael Horowitz, found that the investigation had been initiated properly and without political bias. Isn't that correct? No. It's not correct. That was not Mr. Horowitz's finding? No. He said. You are wrong, Mr. Trinjano. Okay. Now, Cicilline is a fascinating little loser because Cicilline leaves out these key facts about what Horowitz said. Now, you may say, well, Dan, how do you know that?

Because I have the actual video of Horowitz saying it. Cicilline says, well, Horowitz said that, you know, the initiation was, Horowitz did say that it was initiated. He didn't have any evidence. The investigation was initiated without political bias. But then Horowitz went on the inspector general for the Justice Department, which Cicilline because he's a conspiracy theorist hoaxer and a liar and a discredited zero um here's a and

keep in mind Barr can't say this but I can here's what Horowitz actually said let's play two clips about what the real political bias was which Cicilline left out check this out is it correct that you found uh no evidence that the investigation was motivated by anti-Trump or political bias? Is that correct? We found no evidence that the initiation of the investigation was motivated by political bias. It gets murkier. The question gets more challenging, Senator, when you get to the FISA and when you get to the other when you get to the attorney's actions, for example, in connection with that FISA. Did they have a duty to report to their supervisors and eventually to the court its sculptory information? Absolutely. They did not?

They did not. Why? That's the question I can't specifically answer for you. Can you say it wasn't because of political bias? On decisions regarding those FISA matters, I do not know their state of mind at this point. Okay, so just to be clear, because that's not me in like a Michael Horowitz costume, but that would be some really good makeup. That's Horowitz himself contradicting what Cicilline said. Cicilline, so you're saying this thing was initiated without political bias. And then he went on to caveat it by saying, well,

he couldn't eliminate political bias for the decisions later in the FISA. Cicilline leaves that out because he's a liar. And I'm really sorry if you believe this zero. I'm really sorry. You may say, gosh, so Horowitz didn't say there was no political bias in the case? No, that's not what he said. Matter of fact,

Horowitz went on later to talk to Senator Ron Johnson in a hearing, and he indicated there may have been even more political bias that Cicilline conveniently left out because he's a liar

and a loser. That's what he does. Here's Horowitz in Horowitz's own words. But definitely in both these investigations you found political bias we found through the text messages evidence of people's political bias correct also political motivation for example bruce ord talked about how uh christopher steel was desperate to make sure that president trump didn't become president. Well, as to Mr. Steele, that was, of course, a very important part of this discussion is when they understood his motivations and his potential bias.

And we have the November statement from Mr. Orr that he had been told by Mr. Steele that he was desperate to prevent. So again, so you're not. Joe, did I hear that right? So he did find political bias you heard it i'm just checking yeah okay i did paul did i hear that right okay good thank you again come to this show if you're interested in the facts if you want to hear lies listen to the loser from rhode island david sicilini who's been caught promoting political spying, the weaponization of government and law enforcement. He's been caught lying on the record multiple times. He has no credibility. Why would you listen to a known liar? A known liar who supports police state spying, who's a rude and

obnoxious little punk. To an actual public servant, Bill Barr. Why would you listen to this loser? Again, an intellectual lightweight, a dunce, and luckily a guy who doesn't have one one-thousandth of the platform I do to call him out on his known lies. I just played for you what Horowitz actually said, which contradicts Cicilline's characterization of it. He leaves off all the rest of it. Horowitz said the initiation of the case couldn't find political bias.

Okay, there's a whole other point to that. He found a whole boatload of political bias elsewhere, and regarding the other decisions, he couldn't eliminate political bias as a reason. Okay, in the village of idiots, Cicilline, of course, wasn't the only one again you have 200 plus members of congress up there some of the dumbest people in the country all managed to find their way to congress at the same time i had a puzzling how that happened here's a joe neguse forgive me if i'm saying your name wrong joe have no idea never met you before. A congressman from Colorado. Who gets totally wrecked by Bill Barr and basically tries to threaten Bill Barr and Bayard and Barr just like drops the hammer on. This is great. Check this out.

Why isn't it true? I'll get to that. I mean, does it does it have to bar? I will get to that. Reclaiming my time. You answered the question. I have another question for you on June 19th. Actually, I need to answer that. Mr. Attorney General,, you answered the question. I have another question for you. On June 19th of 2020. Actually, I need to answer that question.

Mr. Attorney General, you did answer the question. No, you said under penalty of perjury. I'm going to answer the damn question. Oh, Bill's like, I've kind of had enough of that one. So Joe Neguse. Joe Neguse asked him a question threatens him with perjury and doesn't let bar actually answer the question bar says i'm going to answer the damn question again how naguse thinks this looks good for him i'm i'm unsure naguse may think this looks good to the 10 of radical leftist lunatics in the country.

To the rest of us, you look like a dunce. In the interest of time, because there were so many lowlights from yesterday's village of idiots, here's hapless congressman from Maryland District 8, who I know well, was one of the biggest losers in Maryland politics before he managed to win an election amongst other losers in a primary for a congressional seat vacated by Chris Van Hollen when he became the hapless senator for Maryland. So Captain Hare, Jamie Raskin, you know, you have Captain America. Joe knows Raskin well. This is like, you know, Captain Thor, the Iron Man of hair, Jamie Raskin, who I humiliated in a hearing when he tried to challenge me on what a chokehold was. Jamie, you know, Jamie Raskin with all his police experience. So here's Jamie Raskin yesterday asking Bill Barr about the Lafayette Park in front of the White House when Lafayette Park was cleared. And then later on, President Trump went out there and took the photo.

Remember, there's a church behind where President Trump took that photo that the rioters tried to burn to the ground. So Raskin had a question about that. Barr, again, just drops the hammer. This is beautiful. Check this out. Are you aware that the rector of the church, that the Episcopal Archbishop of Washington and the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church nationally,

along with the Catholic bishop of the Archdiocese of Washington, all denounced this police assault on the civil rights and civil liberties of the people? Did they do that before or after the fire was put out? Well, all the... The hair pirate, Jamie Raskin, is like, I don't remember exactly. You mean, did they do that

after the rioters tried to burn the church? So the church leaders, the church, if you go to that church, by the way, seriously re-evaluate that. The law enforcement entity saved the church, St. John's, from being burned to the ground. And local religious leaders in the area speak out against the Trump campaign about basically saving the church from being burned to the ground.

And Barr wants to know, did they speak out before or after we put the fire out? I'm just asking that question. Another member of the village of idiots. She's losing her temper, Joe. Representative Jayapal, she's losing her temper. Be careful, everyone. She's losing her temper. And you know what happens when the 200 dunces up on Capitol Hill lose their temper.

They start to like spy on political opponents, weaponize the CIA. You know, those people, you know, the Antifa supporting people. Be very careful when they lose their temper. This is Representative Jayapal's, the short one, who, again, doesn't want Bill Barr to actually answer a question. So she lets her, I'm losing my temper with you. Check this out. But as I explained, the effort there was.

Mr. Barr, I just asked for a yes or no. So let me just tell you, I'm starting to lose my temper. Your Highness. She's losing her temper. Be very careful, folks. That was basically yesterday's hearing in a nutshell. I saved you nine hours, 10 hours.

There's one takeaway. Bar, thankfully we'll be looking into the unmaskings and the felony leaks of information from the Obama administration. Hopefully fingers crossed, there will be indictments. The rest of it was in a village of imbeciles lying to Hopefully, fingers crossed, there will be indictments. The rest of it was in a village of imbeciles lying to you,

losing their tempers, reclaiming their time, and threatening Barr with perjury for answers they're not willing to let him give. There you go. Great hearing, wasn't it? Terrific. Saved you all that time. That's the benefit of the Dan Bongino Show. Two-pager day, of course, a lot of stuff to get to.

Ladies and gentlemen, what's going on with the tech tyrants is the free speech issue of our time. Now, to be clear again, because liberals always want to conflate and confuse the issue, I am entirely aware that this is not a government First Amendment issue. These are private companies. Can we just put that out of the way? So no, you know, the liberals who aren't that smart, the double digit IQ ones like the 200 members plus of Congress who managed to all get elected at the same time despite their double digit IQs. I get it. It is not a First Amendment issue. It's not a government entity. They are private companies. Having said that, these private

companies are afforded protections by the government. And if they're going to use those government-provided protections to sanction free speech and to censor people, then we're going to ask questions. Fair enough? Everybody understand the distinction? Fair questions, right? The tech tyranny is real. I'm going to show you some screenshots from YouTube, what YouTube does to my show. What did I tell you? Joe, what did I say? We talked yesterday about the tech tyranny and the censorship. I promised you our show was going to get throttled, right?

Yeah. I'm going to show you the numbers to prove it in case you think I'm just making this up. First, let me get to this Washington Examiner article because I want to make the whole segment about me. It's about other people, too, that are suffering. Washington Examiner. Breitbart. Your to make the whole segment about me. It's about other people too that are suffering. Washington Examiner. Breitbart. Your editor was on the Tucker Carlson show last night, their editor-in-chief,

accusing Google of systematically blacklisting conservative websites. Are you trying to cover my face there? You don't like what, what? Paula, you see what she did? If you're watching us on YouTube, I don't know. Paula got tired of looking at me or something. She put the Washington Examiner piece right over my face.

So this Breitbart editor-in-chief was on Tucker and is accusing Google of blacklisting him. Before I get to the screenshot from the piece, basically he was, Alex Marlow was on last night on Tucker and in essence said this, that Joe, if you go to Google and put in whatever, Joe Biden, Trump, 2020 election. No, no, no, fix that. No notes. That was funny. I liked it. No, no, no fixing. Drew, do not fix that. I enjoyed it that she put the thingy over my face. Don't know fix. I see her taking us. So Marlo was on Tucker show last night and said, if you put in Biden, Trump 2020 election and Breitbart has a really kind of kick article, a good article, you get what I'm saying? That that article is not going to appear until you're like 72 000 pages into the search results well why not bright part's an established right-leaning website

why wouldn't ampere the daily caller another website i use a lot great stories they've had people over there chuck ross and others who have, way, way ahead of the news breaking on the Spygate stuff. Why aren't they on page one or two? Ladies and gentlemen, just try it. If you think I'm messing with you, just try it. Just go to Google, this left-wing tech tyrant site that does everything it can to squash you. Just go there and put in 2020 election.

Scroll down until you finally on page 462 get the Fox News. Try it. See where Breitbart is. Maybe it's page six, seven. I mean, obviously I'm being a bit hyperbolic, which I shouldn't. But it's happening.

From the piece. Here's how this works. Google has this visibility index. It works similarly to the Nielsen rankings for the past four years, and the data shows the systemic bias not only against Breitbart, but other right-of-center outlets. Marlowe said that if an average person

searches for phrases associated with the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, the chances of you getting a Breitbart article are virtually zero. Folks, I've seen this before with my own website at Bongino.com. If you don't put in Biden Breitbart or Biden Bongino.com, you're not going to get any of our articles. Despite the fact that we broke the Spygate story four years ago. You won't get any of that.

You have to put in our name specifically. You'll get Bloomberg, CNN, The Washington Post, The New York Slimes, you know, conspiracy theory sites. The ones that were caught like Cicilline lying about this case, you'll get them first. Folks, this is really happening. There's a war going on right now for the ability to speak freely on platforms supported by the US government. And let me tell you something, to Google, Twitter, Facebook, and others, you're toying with the wrong folks. People talk. People talk to other people. People know what's going on.

And if you think there isn't a battle plan going forward, you are sorely mistaken. You say, okay, so now we've established that Google is pretty much throttling and censoring Breitbart and The Daily Caller and others. Well, what's going on with Twitter? Well, I've been warning you about Twitter forever. Again, it's why I'm involved with Parler. Here's a Twitter rep at the Israeli Nesset. She's asked, this is an amazing video, how this has not gone mega viral. I know you've seen it.

Joe, of course, gets to cheat. He sees the video before the show. A Twitter rep is asked by a member of the Israeli Nassim. So the Ayatollah Khomeini and the Iranian death to America crowd can tweet about homicidal genocide against Jews, Israel and elsewhere. That's OK. But when Trump tweets about the riots, you have to put a warning on his stuff. He's like, we just want to get you on the record there and listen to the Twitter rep. She's the female talking at the beginning. Listen to her incredible response on this. Check this out. We have an approach to world leaders that presently say that direct interactions with

fellow public figures, comments on political issues of the day, or foreign policy, say, raffling on military economic issues are generally not in violation of our Twitter rules. Calling for genocide is okay, but commenting on politics is not, just so we understand. I just want to fine tune the question. Calling for genocide on Twitter is okay, but commenting on political situations in certain countries is not okay? So if a word leader violates our rules, but it is a clear interest in keeping that up on the service, we may place it behind a notice that provides some more context about the violation and allows people to click through if they wish to see that type of

content. And that is what happened for, for the Trump tweet. That tweet was violating our policies regarding the glorification of violence based on the historical context of the last line of that tweet and the risk that it could possibly inspire harm and similar actions. And as it was in the interest of the public to keep that on the platform, we decided to keep it up, place it behind a notice, put the label on it, as you might say, to limit the interaction with it,

but because it is of importance to have it remain so that the citizens can see what their political figures are commenting and hold them accountable for what they're saying online. So that's important. I think that what's come up again and again through different examples is actually a sense of double standards. And I would implore Twitter and other online platforms to ensure, I think that that's your responsibility and that you have to be held to account for that, that there is no double standard. That actually happened?

How is that not on the nightly news tonight? A Twitter rep goes on the record and says, listen, if you tweet like Trump did about the riots, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. No, no, that's definitely going to get a warning label and no one can share that. But when you're the Iranian death to America mullahs tweeting for a mass genocide, don't worry. That's a okay. Just don't put, we're calling for genocide when the looting starts, the shooting starts, and then you'll be okay. This is real.

This is real. Joe, one point, this is amazing. The member of the Nessus, the female voice you heard. She goes, I just want to be clear on this. You can call for genocide, but if you comment on a riot in an area looting, you're going to get a warning label, but not in a call for genocide, mass extermination.

I'm just checking. So just to be clear. So by Twitter's own rules, he wouldn't do it. But if Trump were to comment on and recommend the genocide he's okay but commenting on the riot he's not okay citing the iranian example no the iranians are allowed to do it is this is this real are we living on planet earth you understand now why i'm so frustrated not with with liberals. Liberals hate free speech. They love riots.

That's their thing. Not all of them, but a good swath. They do. They will support any violence against courthouses. There's a large swath of liberal America,

believe me, that loves chaos, violence, speech suppression, public humiliation for you. That's their thing. I'm frustrated at the so-called conservatives because at parlors we've tried to build it we have had more problems with conservatives they complain they're like oh gosh at one point we wanted they wanted a phone number at parlor

we only do that we don't store your phone number anywhere we use it just to verify you're not a bot it's got we don't store it but you'll love twitter that actually sells your data and threatens to ban you if you're a conservative it's a i'm not kidding we have issues with more issues with conservatives than anyone they love twitter the fight is here y'all good luck with that good luck with that don't banishanish me last. I'm sorry, but it's just, it's almost like tragically comical. Twitter stinks. Let's get an alternative. Okay, we'll give you an alternative. We don't want it. We love Twitter. The fight is here. You asked me for a phone number. We asked you just to verify who you are.

Twitter sells your data. We don't sell anything. We don't even store your data at all. Sorry, I shouldn't laugh. You're all been great. Seriously, but very generous. There's a small subset. I'm not kidding. Very small subset of people that has no idea how bad Twitter really is. They really think the fight is there.

They're playing cards, as I said yesterday, against someone with a marked deck. And you think it's a fight. It's not a fight. It is a censorship extermination of your ideology happening in live time. She just admitted it. If you're Trump, don't tweet about riots. But if you're an Iranian tweeting about a mass genocide, that's okay.

Now, you think this fight isn't real for us? What did I warn you about yesterday? Yesterday, I told you, we talked about tech tyranny. And I said during the show, I said during the show that YouTube is going to throttle this show. Guaranteed. We're working on other plans. I'll get to that in a second. Here, you need evidence? Here we go. Here's a screenshot from our YouTube. You can watch this on YouTube, by the way, to show you what they do. Look at the views on our show. So yesterday's show was done episode 1307.

We talked about Twitter going on the attack and the tech tyrants like YouTube. Look at the views, folks. Yesterday's show overnight, 87,000 views. Wow, that's fascinating. The show before that, 118,000. The show before that, 172,000. The show before that, 187,000. Wow.

Weird. Weird how we lost more than half of our audience from just four days ago. Crazy how that happens. It's weird. Meanwhile, as Joe can attest to, our audio show that goes out on terrestrial radio and on audio platforms, not on YouTube,

the show was up yesterday. Yeah. A lot. Yeah. Weird how that happens. How when you talk about YouTube and their censorship, YouTube squashes you. Dan, it's a free company.

It's a free company supported by the United States government. We're not allowed to talk about it? Again, so you're allowed to go to my site, Parler, crap all over me and start like Dan Bongino's big ears? Yes, you are. Go right ahead. Knock yourselves out. I'm not kidding.

I believe in free speech does youtube god forbid you mention any issues with youtube youtube shut you down you're telling me you're saying oh dan that's an isolated example is it check out this one here's another screenshot from last week so last week we brought up a a controversial joe air quotes topic we brought up a controversial Joe air quotes topic. We brought up a topic of masks and going back to school. That's not accepted. Look at the views. 145,000, 166,000, 131,000, 174,000. You bring up going back to school and Corona,

the episode was titled The Kids Go Back to School, 99,000. Again, a third of our audience if not more wiped out because we brought up unacceptable discourse on their channel like maybe kids should go back to school by the way this show will be throttled too the irony is that's why i tell you to subscribe subscribe because you won't hear about this show on youtube if you're not you may say say, Dan, why are you asking? I'll get to that in a second. I know it seems counterintuitive.

Now, we did another show. What was it, last week or the week before? Where I simply pointed out a news article on John Solomon's site about a correlation between an uptick in cases and mask usage. Saying, well, if masks work so well, why are cases going up? It's a news article. We discussed simply the data.

The clip was removed from YouTube. Paula was kind enough. This was the email we got. YouTube does not allow content that spreads medical misinformation. We weren't spreading anything. We're just reading a news report about a correlation that contradicts the WHO. You mean the WHO that I wrote a whole chapter about in my next book? The WHO that told us there's no human to human transmission? You mean the primary means of transmission for the coronavirus? You mean that one?

mean the primary means of transmission for the coronavirus you mean that one just to be clear we're not allowed to country we're not allowed to contradict that that was the who's medical advice thank god people contradicted that youtube took the clip down where we discussed a simple correlation YouTube because again Joe God forbid you speak about anything outside their far left radical perimeter fence you bring up anything they'll ban you you may say then how do we win this fight and why do you keep asking us

to subscribe because folks we are in the process right now. We want to do it right of a transition to other platforms that don't suppress free speech. Again, I'm not asking YouTube to allow criminal content on there. I mean, there's, folks, listen, I'm at Parler. The free speech conundrum is one. It's legitimate.

You know, free speech doesn't just mean, you can't just go on a platform and threaten someone's life. You can't, that's a crime. But free speech, ideological back and forth, and even controversial ideas, should be allowed. Again, I'm not asking YouTube to, you know,

allow the Iranians to come in and, and talk about the mass extermination of, uh, appealing. And I'm not saying that saying, you know, when you can't bring up obvious scientific correlational data facts and you're wiped off the platform, that's real trouble. So I asked you to subscribe because we're working on alternatives now. trouble so i ask you to subscribe because we're working on alternatives now and if you don't subscribe to our channel you won't see it because we're throttled often whenever we bring up outside anything outside of their acceptable discourse and if you don't subscribe you'll never hear where we're going and what we're doing but we do have alternatives and ladies and gentlemen we're going

to win this fight in the future not just us but others you have outlets right now i tweeted this out yesterday paying big money big big money for platforms again joe rogan got i think a hundred million dollar deal to be exclusive to spotify just like roger ailes years ago at fox when they started fox. I listened to him give a speech, obviously way before he passed. And Ailes, I was kind of stupid. Of course, he gave the speech before he passed. But I was at the Secret Service Academy at the time. And he gave a speech. And he was kind of mocking how people asked him all the time, what was the secret to success

at Fox News? And he said this line, he said, I found that there was an underserved market in America for content called 50% of America that was looking for actual unbiased news. I mean, it was a joke. He was saying how the business model's right in front of us. Ladies and gentlemen, the business model for the future to fight the tech tyrants like Roger Ailes fought CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS, the business model's right in front of us. There is going to be, just like with Parler now, again, I hate to keep bringing it up because obviously I have an interest in it, but the fight, there are people here with

assets who were interested in producing a platform to appeal to the 30 or 40% of people out there who just are tired of being censored on these platforms. The business model's not hard. That's why we're succeeding at Parler. You are also going to find video platforms and elsewhere willing to pay conservative shows like this with a substantial audience,

hundreds of thousands of people. You just saw it yourself. They're going to be willing to pay and say, hey, why are you giving content for free to YouTube for free, for nothing? They're making money off you that we would pay you for to come over and be exclusive to us. We're already working on it. That's happening. And YouTube is going to be left holding just like CNN was. Where eventually they're going to be like, my gosh, how stupid were we? Joe, think about this. These people like Bongino and other ones were giving us free content, free, charging us nothing

for their content. We were making money off it for decades. And then what did we do? We turned around and attacked them by throttling the content they gave us for free. And then what did we do? We turned around and attacked them by throttling the content they gave us for free. And are you wondering why they left? Stay tuned. We're working on it now. All right.

So last night I was on Hannity's show and the segment was about the deep state. And you hear this word a lot, of course, liberals lose their minds. Whenever you're over a target, learn this lesson with liberals, right? Whenever you're over the target with liberals, they freak out. Whenever they tell you what you can't say, flip them the double barrel middle finger and double down and say it more. Just a quick example for you. This guy, John Cass, I'll get to the story tomorrow in more detail, but he wrote an article for the Chicago Tribune about George Soros' ties to the chaos in this country by financing the campaigns of anti-law and order DAs. And this guy was attacked. When you about the Soros thing? This is religious

discrimination. Soros is Jewish. Cass didn't even bring up Soros' religion. So now you know they're really worried about George Soros. The left is terrified about the deep state too. Again, I don't care what you call it, the silly state, the dopey state, the deep state, doesn't matter to me. Telling me it's not real is ridiculous just some quick connections i did this last night so the deep state what is it it is an interconnected group of people who've worked with each other and know each other who have power and influence and who keep appearing in the biggest scandals of modern times spy gate the muller scandalous muller probe into an inclusion hoax

that didn't happen. The impeachment hoax about a phone call that happened but didn't happen the way they said it did. It's the same people. So I went through this last night. Mary McCord, who worked

at the Department of Justice during the Obama administration and the Trump administration, she supervised this attorney, David Laufman, this attorney who shows up at the FBI's briefing where they're interviewing Christopher Steele's source. This is the same Mary McCord supervising the lawyer.

She sends the interview Steele's source, who then leaves the Department of Justice and goes to work with who? Adam Schiff. and goes to work with who? Adam Schiff. So McCord, who's clearly involved in the Spygate case, leaves and then goes to advise Adam Schiff on how to impeach the president? Yes, same person. Who then, by the way, writes an op-ed,

what, for the Washington Post, critical of Trump. Schiff, Adam Schiff, then goes and hires two people from the National Security Council. Remember where the whistleblower complaint emanated from? Yeah. Abigail Grace and Sean Misko, who were friends with the fake whistleblower. Now Schiff's got the Ukraine people.

He's got Mary McCord, the spy game people. It's all the same people. Those are just a few. Oh, I got more. I got more. Bob Muller's former chief of staff was a guy by the name of John Carlin. Who was John Carlin? He supervised Mary McCord and went to work for Adam Schiff and supervised the lawyer

who sat in on the interview with Steel Source. That was Bob Muller's chief of staff. Bob Muller's chief of staff was Mary McCord's boss in the National Security Division. After he left Bob Mueller's team, he went to go work for the National Security Division.

Bob Mueller also hired Andrew Weissman as his bulldog, who worked with Kathy Rumler, Obama's fixer. There's a whole chapter in the book, my next book on her. And Lisa Monaco, Obama's counterterrorism advisor. Weissman worked with those two on the Enron case. Rumler, Monaco, Weissman. Mueller hired them while his former chief of staff was supervising the lawyer who supervised the lawyer in on the Steele interview.

Laufman, who was supervised by McCord, who went later to work for Schiff, Laufman also worked the Clinton case. Yeah, the Clinton email case, he had his fingers in that one too. You know the Clintons who had a guy who worked for them by the name of Strobe Talbot. Strobe Talbot who went later to run the Brookings Institute, the Brookings Institute where Steele's source was affiliated. Laughman who obviously knows the Clintons who know Talbot who was at the Brookings Institute while the source who Laughman interviewed worked there you may be like this can't be true

it's all true who else worked at Brookings Fiona Hill yeah Fiona Hill remember the lady who testified against Trump in the impeachment hearing? Yeah, that one. Who worked for Talbot, who worked for the Clintons, the Clinton case, which was supervised by Laufman. Laufman, who worked for McCord and Laufman, who interviewed the source who worked at Brookings with Talbot strobe Talbot who worked for Clinton and also was the president of Brookings affiliated with this source who Laughman interviewed Talbot also is the brother-in-law

of Cody Shear a former journalist who works with the Clintons and was spreading the dossier around DC and was allegedly working with Victoria Newland who had worked with Talbot before too at the state department thigh bone connected to the knee bone yeah yeah remember that yeah knee bone it doesn't end there no it doesn't end there oh dude what about more deep state connections what about the whistleblower the fakeblower, who met with a woman sent over from Ukraine on a trip funded by a major Clinton donor, Pinchuk? And the Ukrainian who meets with the fake whistleblower also meets with McCain's primary guy, David Kramer, who later passes the dossier to the FBI. guy, David Kramer, who later passes the dossier to the FBI. Now, ladies and gentlemen, the deep state's all a big fabrication. Again, I don't care what you call it, the silly state, the dopey state, it doesn't matter to me.

But as I said last night, if you don't think the deep state and these people who have embedded themselves in the federal bureaucracy, the think tanks, in the FBI, the Justice Department, and elsewhere, all know each other and having conspired to take down this president, you think it's just by chance of the millions of lawyers, agents, and cops across the country that these people magically show up in every single anti-Trump scandal? You need to take a vacation if you think any of that is true. All right, moving on. This is a doozy. So the hapless silver medal winning worst mayor in the country,

Lori Lightfoot, who's just terrible, mayor of Chicago, was on CNN this weekend. And she conveniently leaves out the facts here. Whenever Democrats want to make an argument be prepared against gun control i pride myself on the ability to get out ahead of this stuff for you whenever they want to make an argument excuse me for gun control what they say is because you can't if you're lightfoot because they have some of the strictest gun laws in the country yeah so if gun laws work why is gun crime out of control where you are that doesn't make any

sense in other words gun control works you are? That doesn't make any sense. In other words, gun control works. You implemented gun control. You have a gun problem. So their argument is always, well, it's not us. The guns are coming from out of state and other places with lax gun laws. That's always their argument every time. None of that's true, but listen to Lori Lightfoot hilariously try to make this stupid argument here. Check this out. Starting with common sense gun control. The fact of the matter is our gun problem is related to the fact that we have too many illegal guns on our street, 60 percent of which 60 percent of which come from states outside of Illinois. We are being inundated with guns from states that have virtually no gun control, no background

checks, no ban on assault weapons. That is hurting cities like Chicago. That is the thing that if the president really wanted to help that the other things I identified and my letter he could do today, tomorrow, but he's not really interested in helping in that way. Again, you know, just like Cicilline, these are discredited liars. There is no state that has a no background check law. I mean, folks, do we need to fact check this? I mean, seriously, you know, I have an intelligent audience. Democrats don't.

You realize when Lightfoot says this, people believe her, that there's a state in the United States has a no background check law. Can you tell me what state that is where there's a law that says no background checks here? Can you tell me you can't because you're a liar? That's just what you do. But did you see what she does? She massages the data to make you believe that the guns that are coming into Chicago being used illegally is largely an out-of-state problem from states that have no background check laws, which is fake. So ironically, I went to this Twitter feed, the trace, which is not, it's for gun control. In other words, they're for gun control. So here, here's this Twitter feed. And I want you to look at the actual data. Here's the data, the top 15 sources for firearms recovered in Illinois.

What's the number one state? So let me get this straight. The number one state for Illinois is Illinois. Wow, by quite a long shot, 5,000 guns recovered in Illinois. So just to be clear Lori Lightfoot who's saying the Chicago which for liberals

listening is in Illinois and you know I know you have an issue with that kind of stuff geography and things so Chicago which is in Illinois Lightfoot's saying

no no we have strict gun control and it works the guns are coming from out of state and all these recoveries of illegally used guns and crime scenes the overwhelming majority of these are from from out of state and all these recoveries of illegally used guns at crime scenes. The overwhelming majority of these are from, from out of state.

Meanwhile, the leading state for recoveries from Illinois is Illinois guns. Again, I'm sorry. You have to come here for the facts all the time. I wish you could. I really do. I wish you'd get them from other mainstream outlets and you could come here and we could do lighter stuff and some entertainment stuff once in a while, but I don't have any time. 90% of my time is setting the public record straight on the actual facts, not the garbage and the nonsense. All right, I want to get to this. This was a

video from yesterday, but it's important. Donald Trump yesterday making a big move. I'm a big supporter of school choice. Ladies and gentlemen, if you can explain to me with a straight face why a parent whose kid is suffering in an educational institution, a school that is failing them, and why you should chain the doors behind them and not let them out and not let them pay with their own tax dollars for an alternative that will educate their kids in the future. If you can explain to me with a straight face why you do that, I'm open to hearing it.

I don't think you can. Here's a video of Donald Trump saying, enough, you don't want to open your schools? I said this a couple of weeks ago. Fine, don't open them. Give us our money back. We'll find another way to do it. And Donald Trump is moving exactly in that direction.

Check this out. If schools do not reopen, the funding should go to parents to send their child to public, private, charter, religious or home school of their choice. The key word being choice. If the school is closed, the money should follow the student. So the parents and families are in control of their own decisions. So we'd like the money to go to the parents of the student. This way they can make the decision that's best for them. Folks, you know, listen, I, as I've said before, and I'll say again, I have the utmost respect and I mean it for teachers that do a really good job.

You know, you don't remember a lot of things in your life, but everybody remembers their teachers. You spend eight hours a day with them. I can speak in clear, semi-coherent English. Been a little banged up today, you can probably tell. But semi-coherent English because of the work of great teachers. Do a great job. Having said that, some don't. And if you don't want to go back to work and educate kids, kids have to find a way to get educated. I'm very sorry. Again, I appreciate

all the emails I've received from really patriotic, God-loving American teachers who've told me, you want to go back to work? I understand you're scared. A lot of people are scared. My mother-in-law is scared, but the kids have to get the solution cannot possibly be. We're just going to stop educating our kids. That's, that's obviously not, we don't do that for any other disease, any other disease.

I mean, seriously, we didn't stop school when the HIV epidemic was spreading in the eighties. We don't stop school for influenza outbreaks. We don't stop schools when there's a measles outbreak. We don't. We may temporarily close them, but we just don't stop educating kids. Can we all agree?

I mean, I'm just trying to get to some common consensus. Can we all agree kids need an education? You can't function in the world literally without it. So we will have to find something else. I'm asking you with the greatest respect to the teachers who have an open mind. If you don't, this segment's not for you. Tune out now. This position by the unions that we're not opening schools and we're going to protest

and we're going to go out there and do safety, which is ironic. You're going to go out there and protest and gather around other people, but you're not going to educate the kids and you're saying it's for safety. You understand that there that doesn't, there's a disconnect there, right? I'm just asking you to think this thing through tactically. You're messing with kids.

You can mess with people, people's cars. You can mess with their social media accounts. They'll get mad. They'll do stuff. You mess with their kids. You start to really open up a Pandora's box. They're not going to let you do this they're going to find a parochial school a catholic school a homeschooling option

or they're going to start mini schools in their neighborhoods like i'm seeing sprouting up right now there will be no job left for you to come back to. They are not going to take it. Again, I'm sure we'll get throttled by YouTube for this today, for all of our commentary, but that's okay. We fight the good fight here. And if it costs us money, it's money worth being costed. That's a-okay with me. It's time to go back to school.

And if President Trump even reallocates the 10% of federal funding that goes to schools through Title I, starts to reallocate it to parents or institute or mini schools or things like that, the chokehold on the education system by education unions is going to be over. You are making an enormous tactical mistake. We don't have to be enemies here. I don't want to be your enemy. You teach my kids. I trust you.

I hope you trust me too to support you. We do a lot for schools. We don't need to talk about it now. I'm not patting myself on the back. We do it because it matters. I wanted to do a cash award thing for teachers. I like them that much, especially my daughters. They were really terrific.

I'm saying as a friend that I mean it. This is a really, really bad idea that is going to backfire in spectacular fashion if you double down on this. Parents are not going to watch their kids sit in the house all the time. What was that look about? What? Something going on? She said, Paul's giving me a look over there. I thought it was medical.

Don't do it. Don't do it. We'll find a way. We got to keep you safe. All right? I'm with you. Don't make, let's not be enemies on this.

All right, folks. Thanks again for tuning in. I really appreciate it. Please subscribe to our YouTube so when we get an alternate platform, you'll know where to go. YouTube.com slash Bongino. Please subscribe to the show
