Some hidden camera video. It's a hidden camera video yesterday all over the place, by the way, like everywhere. Michelle Obama, Joe Biden, human trafficking happening in an airport in Boston. I mean, video all over the place, all over the place. But the hidden video, James O'Keefe,

with his new group, O'Keefe Media, unleashed yesterday, speaks to so many things. And one of them I don't want you to forget is that the government is so grotesquely incompetent that when people feed me all these conspiracy theories about what the government's doing, I always answer, Joe, do I know with this? Have you ever worked there? Nobody could do it. You don't understand.

Like outside of our military and the good folks in law enforcement, Intel, there are a lot of good folks left. A lot of the government bureaucrats are only there because they couldn't actually get real jobs. I'm sorry. It's true. These people are idiots. I'm getting, I'm digging too much. I got a lot to get to today. And everything I told you about the Michelle Obama thing, people are making fun of me again. It's okay. Make fun of who you want. Don't care. Give zero sh**. James

O'Keefe, who has done more to expose government stupidity, malfeasance and corruption than most modern day journalists, which is kind of ironic because that's what they supposedly make a living on. He got this hidden camera video. And I've got to tell you, the video is mildly hilarious because of the background. The guy he is got on this hidden camera video you're going to see in a moment is a Biden administration insider at a very high level. He's this cybersecurity guy. Now, you may be thinking it's time for a T.O. and I don't mean Terrell Owens. It's time for a 20-second timeout. So James O'Keefe, who can we all agree is one of the most recognizable media figures in America right now. If you're actually in the media space, if you follow only sports and baseball, granted, you probably don't know who he is. You probably don't know who I am either.

But if you follow media, you know, like I know a lot of guys on the left. I may not particularly like, but I know who they are. Phillip Bump, kind of a tool bag, but I know who he is. I'm not going to tell you he's irrelevant. Phillip, the Krasenstein guy on Twitter. I know who he is. They may not be my biggest fans and vice versa, but I know who they are. Because you know why? Anyone have an idea but I know who they are because you know why? Anyone have an idea

why I know who they are? Because it's my freaking job to know who they are. Like it's this guy's job in the White House to know who James O'Keefe is. So he goes out and meets up with O'Keefe. I don't know the circumstances with this guy. I'll leave that for another day. this guy. I'll leave that for another day. Okay. But a couple things I'm going to tell you that I've told you before you watch this. The guy is a cyber security

dude at the White House for Biden, who's like this big shot, who's sitting there with James O'Keefe. James O'Keefe has got the Clark Kent going on, folks. Here's James O'Keefe in disguise. He's like this. Let me do the James O'Keefe. James O'Keefe's got the Clark Kent going on, folks. Here's James O'Keefe in disguise. He's like this. Let me do the James O'Keefe.

Hey, how you doing? My name is Sam Dongino. He doesn't know. Tony's like, what the f***? I thought I worked for Dan Bongino. I'm out of here. But he's like, I've been here three years. Joe Armacost is like, dude, I've been here the longest.

I don't even recognize this guy. Sam D'Anguito. I thought, who the fuck is that? I thought I worked for Dan Bongino. Is he dead? They're texting. Hold on. They're texting me right now. Dan, are you okay? It's Joe Armacost. Yes, I'm fine. Look, I'm back. Joe's like, holy shit. What happened? Look, it's like he appears like a ghost. How did he get here? Guy is stunned. Guy doesn't even know, he doesn't even want to hit the thing to play the video because he's in that state the guy in one flew over to Cuckoo's Nest. He doesn't know what to do.

He's about to cut the stream right now, Guy. He's like, who's this imposter? O'Keefe is sitting down across from this guy. I hate the word literally, but I'm so'm so literally with a pair of glasses on. Yeah. Paul and the Clark dead. He's the Clark dead. Hey, look, I'm Superman.

How does nobody recognize Superman? Folks, why is this? The government, as I've told you, not talking about our military, not talking about patriots at work there. The government, unfortunately, in my experience, dealing with people is full of a lot of idiots. When people tell me about these big government plots that we did this and we did that. I always tell them, you realize how dumb a lot of these people are? I know I got to get to this clip. More in a minute, but first. Elections in Taiwan, North Korea on the brink, Iran increasing its aggression. Seems to be a lot of global instability as we plunge into primary season.

Performance may vary. Consult with a tax attorney or financial professional before making an investment decision. Message and data rates apply. Okay. Here's the first part of the clip. I want you to listen to the Biden cybersecurity guy with Clark Kent over there, James O'Keefe

of Glasson. He just dumps out all the goodies to O'Keefe of Glazon. He just dumps out all the goodies to O'Keefe about how basically Biden's senile, how everybody knows it. This is super important. It describes something I've been telling you for a long time. I promise you're not wasting your time here. Check this out. So you're pretty high up in the government. Yeah, I'm fairly high up. I'm good at at keeping secrets and so i manage two federal agencies the state department and usaid so when you say sec it's like security like you're protecting the networks of the federal agency you give all your information to them the mission is to protect yes information we serve we are like the president's voice when we go into meetings in terms of discussing and promoting the president's priorities. Is he gonna be the nominee?

Yes. And she will be the vice president nominee. There was a debate about removing her from the ticket, but sadly they didn't. She can't keep black staff. They quit on her in mass. But with him, I mean, he's got dementia. Yeah, well, he's definitely slowing down. But they know that he has those issues. I think so. They're not willing to say it publicly.

And same thing with Kamala Harris. She's not popular, but you can't remove the first black lady to be vice president from the goddamn presidential ticket like what kind of message are you going to send to like an african-american voter how would you spin that people would be like what the like she's a woman and she's multiracial i think i think that they're really concerned about this but they won't say it i guess if they say it publicly say it publicly. So here's a Biden insider telling you exactly what I told you. Listen, I promise you, however, assholery that sounded, I'm not taking credit for it. People tell me stuff. People tell me stuff. It's not my stuff.

It's not my stuff. People tell me stuff because of stuff related to stuff that I did. I've already told you that. I've said a couple things in the past if you're a P1 that you know. You were here. You heard it it i don't think biden's going to be the nominee but there's going to have to be a seismic shift in the polls where the donors shut him off do you guys remember this show they having said that i don't i still

don't believe he'll be the nominee could he be the nominee. I can't predict the future. I'm just speculating at this point. They don't want him. You just heard the Biden guy say it. They don't want him. They don't want Kamala either, but they're in a bind. What's the bind I told you about? P1s, help me out here. Chime in. It's your show too. You remember? Biden, he's an egomaniac. He will not step aside. He is an egomaniac. Biden sees himself as the heir to FDR. I know you're laughing. I get it. And you are rightfully so. Because you're like, Biden, disgusting, kid-sniffing, woman-feeling, sociopathic, plagiarizing, bribe-taking Joe Biden. Yes, that guy. Folks, he's a nut. He is a sociopath. He sees himself as this messianic heir to FDR. I promise you, it's not my info. It's from others. I'm not taking any credit for it. I don't care. People tell me this stuff. He sees himself

differently than you do. That is different than the Democrats see him. They don't want him. They know this guy is a cancer and they know they stand a damn good chance he's going to lose. That's takeaway number one. I don't think he's going to be the nominee. The only thing stopping that process from removing him is him. He's an egomaniac. The second point we've made on this show, and now you're hearing it from a hidden camera insider, and I feel kind of vindicated and at least vindicated with regards to my source on this. Folks, I told you this before. Someone find the episode. They are not getting rid of Kamala Harris. It is a racial play for them. They feel like they

are going to piss off a constituency they need, black voters, no matter how unpopular Kamala Harris gets. They're not swapping Kamala Harris out. Could it happen? Of course anything could happen. I can't predict the future. This is just a political show where if you were doing a show about the American League East, you'd speculate,

oh, how many wins do you think the Yankees are going to get? Or else the show would be boring. I see it as very unlikely that Kamala Harris is removed from the ticket. As a matter of fact, even if Joe Biden is removed from the ticket, I see it likely that Kamala Harris stays on as the VP. That sounds crazy. They are never getting rid of her, ever. It is a strict, strict tactical racial play for

them you don't need to listen to me listen to that guy we've done when i said it before it was a conspiracy theory now that this biden insider says that all of a sudden people like oh man here's part two of this clark kent i mean you believe this he doesn't recognize James O'Keefe I mean if I saw like seriously one of these guys across the table with Clark Klink glasses on I'd be like really bro that really surprised me too it really did how do you not recognize this guy you're the cyber security dude at the White House. You ever see that meme on Twitter? You have one job. Bro, you have one job

to be like the cyber security. You're like the security dude. Here's part two. I had a meeting with Michelle Obama at one point when I was an intern and someone asked her, will you ever run for office?

And she said no., emphatically. Really? I've seen all the shit my husband has had to go through, and that does not interest me. Again, did I not tell you this, man? This is my information. I worked there in this Obama White House. Could Michelle Obama run for office? Of course.

Ladies and gentlemen, black swan events happen all the time. I'm telling you because people ask my opinion all the time. Just go to Twitter, put in Bongino. Dan, do you think Michelle Obama is going to run? The answer is no. Okay, Dan, why? Well, here's why. I work there. Michelle Obama is an intensely private person. Why? Because I freaking saw it. Michelle Obama used to complain.

Ask an FLD guy, First Ladies Detail guy, who worked with Michelle Obama. She complained constantly about the gross political process she claims to hate. Now, James Lindsay, who, by the way, I like a lot, put his videos out there. He tweeted this out.

People are saying Michelle Obama doesn't want it, notably Bongino. I'm not saying that. I'm telling you what she said, James. If you were there and you know otherwise, James, fill me in. Were you there? Okay, you weren't. I'm not saying. I'm telling you what I know she said because I was there. I know, I can't with these people. People are saying Michelle

Obama doesn't want it, notably Bongino. So great, now she's the reluctant hero who will have to step up to fill big shoes after Biden has a health problem. It's spontaneous, but it isn't. It's focus group. It'll be Gavin if he polls better. Okay, maybe so. But this is like, I could see like, this is some like kind of weird passive aggressive thing. Like, I'm just telling you, she's an intensely private person. You just heard it from a Biden administration insider, the exact same freaking story. from a Biden administration insider, the exact same freaking story. What you think we're about? What motivation would I possibly have for making this up? And this guy, he doesn't even know he's on camera. He's obviously telling the truth. She doesn't like it. Does that mean there's a hundred percent chance she couldn't be coaxed into it? It doesn't. I'm just telling you it's extremely unlikely. Now, why would I waste my time on this topic if I didn't think it mattered on speculative stuff?

Because we're burning a lot of time. Here's why. Everybody with T.O. for a second. To Lindsay and anyone else out there. The reason I'm talking about this is we are burning a lot of time on Michelle Obama. We're burning a lot of time when I think he's actually correct with his last statement there that it's much more likely to be Gavin Newsom. Could it be Michelle Obama? Of course. I doubt it. I see it highly likely that it could be Gavin Newsom. But we're burning all this time. And most of this, I want you to understand, most of this Michelle Obama stuff you see on Twitter is clickbait stuff, folks. It's being done for engagement because people make money off tweets. I'm just trying to be legit, man.

It's straight with you all. I could do this all day. Dirty secret about Michelle Obama exposed. Hey, dirty secret about Michelle Obama exposed. Dan Bongino, click on this tweet, retweet it. I'm just telling you. I could do a show tomorrow. Hey, I got inside info. Michelle Obama's running. I've heard it from someone.

Whatever, man. Folks, the only remaining question now is when Biden gets out and what's the breaking point. If Biden stays in, which is a distinct possibility because he's a sociopathic egomaniac, that is a distinct possibility. I rate it no better at 50-50. I don't think he's going to stay in, personally because the Democrat donors, I think are going to push him out, but it depends on what the breaking point is. What's the breaking point where they push him out? Is it polls? Because let me tell you something,

can you throw that poll thing up interactive polls? I'll get to it again later. This doesn't look good for Biden. New Bloomberg morning console poll of Trump Biden matchup in swing states. Folks, if these polls are even close to accurate, North Carolina, Trump plus 10, Nevada, Trump plus eight, Georgia plus eight, all Trump, Wisconsin, Trump plus five, Michigan, Trump

plus five, Pennsylvania, Trump plus three, Arizona, Trump plus three. Folks, if these numbers are even remotely close to accurate, Virginia could be in play in Colorado too. Does that mean there's going to be a red wave? Not on this show. Does it mean anybody should going to be a red wave? Not on this show. Does it mean anybody should get excited? You should assume those polls are wrong. Another poll came out today showed Biden up nationally by six.

What does that mean about polls? What does it mean about polls? That means you should take him and throw him in the garbage. But I'm telling you, donors, donors watch this stuff. Donors to Biden, the only question to getting mad is what point did the donors, because he did not have a great fundraising quarter. To be fair, it wasn't terrible. I'm talking about Biden, but it wasn't great. Believe me, he wasn't setting any records. At what point did the donors dry him up? That's my point. And that's why I talked about the

Michelle Obama story you just saw on the hidden camera thing. Because we're burning a ton of time on this. If she does jump in, then we got to go for it. But I personally think you're wasting a lot of time on something with a very low likelihood of happening. Right now, we should focus our fire on Biden politically and Newsom politically. That's where you're going to get your best bang for your buck. Just trying to help you out, man. I consider you all my friends.

I don't want to waste your time.
