You know, it's interesting.
I welcomed you to the Dan Bongino Show as if you needed a welcome,
which I kind of messed that up backwards.
But that's a new opening.
So welcome to the Dan.
Good to see you, Joe. I wanted to welcome you. It was a very busy weekend for me and Paula.
I may tell the story at the end.
Paula may kill me, but not about that thing, but another thing,
but it's kind of funny.
Something happened to me this weekend and I feel really bad,
especially for this guy who listens to my show and introduced himself to me
at the mall.
Hopefully I'll get to that one.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yes.
A hundred percent.
She's already like freaking out.
All right.
First off, what side of the media people on?
Sheesh, this is getting worse and worse and worse.
By the day, I have to constantly ask this question.
We have a number of incidents of them promoting Iranian propaganda, telling bad stories.
Paul is not in a good mood today, folks.
The camera wasn't working right.
She had a sign out of Adobe.
She is in a very salty
mood she was she was salty with her mom i had to come in and rescue it her mom came in and told me
about an ant problem up front paula's like what do you want me to do about the ant problem she was
not very happy so she's a little salty but it's okay it's okay it's a family operation first
getting back to the salty media you like that segue here is this is real by the
way when i played this for by the love my wife it's a joke yeah i know you're gonna email me
this is the salty media not as salty as marlin was this morning erin burnett shockingly paul
didn't believe me this was real erin burnett from cnn joe in this video clip claiming how she was
over in iran i'm sure she was no, claiming how she was over in Iran.
I'm sure she was.
No reason to believe she was lying.
Amongst a death to America chanting crowd, Joe.
But don't you worry, Armacost.
They were really super nice to her.
It's not a joke.
I feel better.
Check this.
Yeah.
Check this out.
It's crazy.
I will say I was in Tehran
when they were chanting death to America once I was at a rally.
The people couldn't have been more friendly to me personally as an American.
It sort of felt like a it felt like a thing and a trope as opposed to anything that actually was seriously meant and considered.
I understand your point. But having been there, my experience, Aaron, your entire life.
All right. So.
uh so oh now one of the dumbest things i've ever heard said on television again begs the question does it not i hate that cliche why do i say it begs the i hate that cliche but i still use it
like it's like ingrained and tattooed on my cerebral cortex it makes you ask the question what the hell side are these people on
you're in a crowd of people chanting death to america some of them subject to a regime that
has inflicted death on america and your commentary is that don't worry armacost these people were
super nice to me oh good so number, the evidence that they mean death to America
would probably be confirmed by the sad, tragic death
of actual Americans at the hand of some of these lunatics.
Yeah, definite negative.
Just saying.
You think?
Yeah.
Question number two, we ask Aaron Burnett, did it ever occur to you, Aaron, that you may have been getting played?
That tyrannical, despotic terrorist regimes like the Iranian mullahs, that they may have propaganda artists in the crowd, that American media people who have this constant need
to trash America
would be eager to scoop up
that, hey, be very nice to them.
Tell me you understand
what I'm saying, audience.
Yeah, man.
Yes.
Here's where we're going here.
The Iranians are not stupid.
They're gaslighting
propaganda artists.
Their sole goal
is to take down
and embarrass the American
government and anybody who opposes
them. You don't think it
occurred to them that you have outlets like CNN
that'll eagerly report their propaganda?
Make sure you're really nice to
that one. Yeah, they always work
them.
Every time. They're working the refs.
Yeah, there you go.
That never occurred to her.
They were really nice to me.
Oh, I could spend all day on this, ladies and gentlemen.
Again, what the hell side are these people on?
If some couple of idiots were chanting death to America a couple times in a country that's
generally friendly to the US, you could probably discount it to a couple of morons who were
drunk in a bar one night.
When a death-to-America regime
that's inflicted death-to-America
is chanting death-to-America at a rally
and trying to play the refs,
maybe your journalistic antenna should go up,
ding, ding, ding, ding, ding,
and you should be a little bit more skeptical.
Just throwing that out there.
Just saying.
That wasn't it, of course.
I was on Fox & Friends this morning my regular monday
morning appearance which i love doing we had the incident we described last week where msnbc put
out over the air parroting iranian propaganda on the air yeah no fact checking they said well we've
been told by the iranians that 30 americans were 30 Americans were killed in this Iranian missile strike on the Iraqi base.
It's not true, folks.
It was Iranian propaganda.
They fed to MSNBC.
Well, why?
Because they knew MSNBC would probably put it out, which they dutifully did because MSNBC hates the president.
And the fact that they could report casualties may reflect poorly on the president.
They put it right on the air.
Happened, played the clip on the show, not put it right on the air. Happened. Played the clip on the show.
Not going to play it again.
Then we had the Chris Matthews clip
we played on the show last week
from MSNBC.
Soleimani, Joe, was revered.
Revered like Elvis in Princess Di.
Not my quote.
His quote.
Not me.
I didn't say that.
Chris Matthews from MSDNC.
Soleimani was revered
like the death of Elvis, man.
Elvis. Like Soleimani had a series of hits like Blue Suede Shoes and stuff. The guy was a terrorist,
a mass murderer. He was revered. Now, the coverage of the Iranian protest against Soleimani, yes,
because the Iranian people, large majorities of them don't want this anymore either.
And I'm glad Trump has made the distinction and reached out to the Iranian people and separated from the terrorist regime, ruling with an iron fist over them.
I'm glad he's done that. It's the right thing to do.
When the Iranian people protested against Soleimani this weekend, you'd think it'd be front page coverage running on the news everywhere this weekend.
But of course, they had to suppress that, Joe Joe. Because again, it would reflect positively on freedom,
liberty, the liberty agenda, and Donald Trump.
And you can't have that.
You have to keep up the idea that Soleimani was revered like Elvis.
Oh my gosh.
It gets worse.
Here's an article of the Daily Caller.
Be up at the show notes today.
I had missed this one last week unbelievably shame on me if you want to get our show notes go to bongino.com
slash newsletter subscribe i'll email you the show notes every day cnn gives platform to spokeswoman
for the 1979 u.s embassy hostage takers to push iranian propaganda crap. The great Chuck Ross.
Really happened, brother.
Really happened.
Christiane Amanpour on CNN had this woman on,
forgive me if I'm saying the name wrong.
Not intentional.
Massameh Ebdekar.
She was the spokeswoman
for the hostage takers
who took our people hostage in Iran.
And she was on CNN spouting propaganda.
No worries, folks.
Just an Iranian propaganda artist on a network that broadcasts in the United States
one of the three major cable news networks.
Well, that's maybe being generous to CNN, but you get the point.
Spouting propaganda.
No worries.
Hadn't seen that one yet.
No.
No, I missed that one too yeah a lot going on last week and finally we have cnn and other outlets new york times washington post and others constantly parroting the line that the iranian
shoot down via their missile their anti-missile system of the ukrainian airliner in iranian
territory joe was an accident It was just a mistake.
Oh, all right.
How do we know that?
Because the Iranians said so, Joe.
Come on, stop asking stupid questions.
Cool, man.
The Iranians said it was a mistake, Joe.
Yeah.
I mean, they said death to America,
but Aaron Burnett said that doesn't matter either.
They're really nice people.
Okay.
So they're just nice people that made a mistake
and shot down an airliner
and killed upwards of 170 plus people.
But don't worry.
It was just a mistake.
Maybe do a little journalism and kind of question that because some of the air defense people,
one of the pleasures, distinct pleasures of having a show with a large audience, thanks
to you.
And I mean that always is there's always someone who's an expert in something who reaches out
sources.
I got a great email this morning from someone who has some expertise in these
air defense systems who said, ah,
the likelihood it was a mistake is pretty much slim to none.
He went through all the safety checks they do first. Joe,
it's not just like a, you know,
button placed in a bad spot on my power generator.
Like I have went through this morning where someone accidentally said,
oh my gosh, look what happened.
We hit the wrong button
and shot down an airliner.
It's not a joke.
I mean, this is how people die.
That's not what happened.
There were safety,
there are built-in systems
to make sure that doesn't happen
and it happened anyway,
which would make
a serious journalism outfit,
which CNN isn't
or the New York Times or anyone else,
double and triple check Iranian propaganda,
like, oh, it was a mistake before you put it out there.
But again, expecting them to do it is just a joke.
All right, you know, enough on that.
It's really become a total embarrassment.
I was pretty fired up this morning.
And listen, a couple of things, just behind the scenes stuff,
because you know, you're my audience and you should get my,
you know, we cracked the fourth wall here here often our show is always different than everyone
else we try to make as light edits we even leave some mistakes in because i like it to feel natural
like a conversation we had a great interview this weekend with mark levin i hope you listen to it on
my youtube channel um you know but this has been tough to go on the air i've been on the air a lot
i did judge janine on saturday i spoke to mark levin you know youtube.com slash Bongino. You want to listen to my interview with the great one. He was
so dynamic, but I'm not kidding when I tell you it's been hard to go on the air lately and talk
about this because I'm an American first and I get it. I'm a partisan. I've got a hard edge.
I understand that, you know, I don't pull any punches and I love your feedback, but I got a
lot of feedback, 90% positive about my debate with Geraldo. But
Paul, what would you say, about 10%? That's fine, folks. Listen, feel free. Some of you think I was
unnecessarily harsh on Geraldo. I totally understand that. I don't feel that way. I feel
like Geraldo and I have been debating a long time. We agree on a lot of things and Spygate stuff. We
don't agree on a lot of things, but I'm stuff. We don't agree on a lot of things.
But I'm really fed up with the coverage of this, folks.
I'm sorry.
I am not an interventionist overseas by any stretch.
If you listen to my show, you know that. But the killing of an ethnic cleansing mass murdering terrorist was an unabashedly good thing.
And trying to call the president out for it is just really shameful.
And I'm sorry.
I was upset about it.
And that's me on the air.
And I'll be honest with you, when I feel like I go overboard, Paula thought so.
Paula was a little upset at me this weekend.
She thought I was a little too fiery on Judge Jeanine too.
She's my wife, but I even disagreed with her.
I said, I'm sorry, I just disagree.
I think this is a really tough time in American history that requires a really hard edge.
And I can't walk any of that back.
My sincere apologies to those
you took it personally but it was a little feisty this weekend all right moving on enough about me
so you know remember those you know the mud flaps joe on the trucks the 18 wheelers no yeah keep on
trucking you know you see that yeah but you see remember that so this weekend i see the deep deep
state keep on deep state and like we should have bumper stickers makeup deep state keep on deep Remember that? So this weekend, I was reading the Deep State. Keep on Deep State.
And like, we should have bumper stickers, makeup.
Deep State, keep on Deep State.
They just are not kidding around.
They don't even care anymore.
These Deep State people.
And by the way, the fact that the left-wing media doesn't think that Deep State exists,
it's a conspiracy theory.
Just ignore them.
That's just so, it's a conspiracy.
The conspiracy theory that they're actual journalists
is the actual conspiracy theory.
The Deep State is so real.
They're actually smacking you in the face, sticking you in the eye.
I mean, it's embarrassing.
The hubris of these people, some of the stuff they do.
Well, what did they do?
I've got a couple stories on this that are going to kind of filter into each other about
the deep state.
Keep it on, deep state. So first is this stunning, almost unbelievable story about who the FISA court appointed to
look into their FISA court abuses.
Check this story out.
Daily Caller.
Another Chuck Ross piece.
Getting a lot of attention on Dan Bongino's show today.
Again, up at the show notes at Bongino.com.
Check it out.
This is a real headline, folks.
This is not a joke.
XDOJ official picked to assist the Pfizer reform
was an ardent defender of the FBI surveillance of Carter Page.
This is not a joke.
This is not the Babylon Bee, the Onion, or Duffel Block.
This is a real story.
I want to laugh. This is real. I was cued into this this
weekend by a friend who was like, do you believe this? And I answered back. Yes, sadly, I do.
And then you wonder why I get these emails into the show when I say I just have no confidence
if Trump's not elected to a second term and doesn't have time to start to get rid of these
people in a mass flush. I don't have a lot of confidence anything's going to happen.
I'm with you.
I've been with you the whole time on this.
Now, I think some people are going to go down here, but I think a lot of these deep state bureaucrats are going to get a total pass.
I have zero confidence.
And it's stories like this one.
Well, let me tell you what's going on first.
Obviously, you know about the Spygate case, the use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court
in the United States to get a warrant by the FBI
to spy on the Trump team.
Very simple scandal.
A lot of details in there,
but that is really the core of it,
the house Spygate was built on.
The FBI spied on Donald Trump and his campaign,
pure and simple, using the FISA court.
The FISA court now claims Rosemary Collier
in his brief that they're really upset about it Joe
they're really upset for those of you watching on our YouTube I gave you the dreaded wink and the
nod we're really really upset about this you FBI guys and ladies came in here and swore to these
warrants they weren't true matter of fact we, we're so upset, we're going to do an internal investigation.
Oh, this is going to be bad, an internal investigation.
Well, who do they appoint?
They appoint this cat, David Criss.
David, K-R-I-S.
David Criss.
Yeah, yeah, no, this is real.
This is it.
Get a load of this one.
This gets better.
This is from the Chuck Ross piece, brother.
This gets great.
Criss, who served in the Justice Department
from 2009 to 2011, asserted in writings, so this is the guy supposed to be investigating fisa abuse this guy
actually wrote this stuff in a lawfare blog he wrote that during the trump russia probe the
republicans quote had falsely accused the fbi of misleading the fisc and its wiretap applications
this is not the reagan jokes portion of the show this is real
the guy supposedly investigating fisa abuse has accused the republicans
of falsely accusing the fbi of misleading the fisa court it goes on oh man yeah i know listen
folks if i don't laugh i'm gonna cry I don't want to cry on camera, okay?
Really, this isn't that movie Hope Floats,
that scene with the dad always gets me every time,
randomly thrown in there.
It goes on.
He also accepted the FBI's assertion that there was probable cause to believe
that Paige Carter Page was a foreign agent of Russia.
This is the guy investigating Pfizer abuse.
An allegation that was all
but debunked by the special counsel's
report and the inspector general's report.
Folks,
listen, here's your eyeball.
They're just
poking you in the ear. They don't even care.
The Pfizer
quote, to anyone listening or anyone listen
to me again we have an audience thanks to you substantial enough that typically someone knows
someone who knows someone who knows someone who to the people on the pfizer court and this gets
back to you and was it judge bows balsberg or something who appointed him on the pfizer court
appointed chris collusion hoaxer who attacked republicans for getting to the truth and who
believes that the fbi did then no they didn't do anything wrong in front of the FISA court.
You're an embarrassment.
Really, you're an embarrassment.
With all due respect to your prior line of work, I don't know your prior resume.
Who knows?
I may wind up in front of you one day.
You may sentence me to jail for something at this point.
I mean, it seems like everybody on the right side of the Spygate thing who exposed the
scandals to bad guys now, Joe, anyway, appointing this guy
is a slap in the face to justice, to the integrity of the court. And listen, I don't know what you
think you're doing. If you thought this was going to slip past the goalie or people like me and
Devin Nunes and others of you attacked, we're just going to let this go. But if this appointment is not rescinded immediately,
immediately, nothing, nothing this guy says,
understand this, will have any credibility, nothing.
I don't care what he finds.
Nothing this guy says will have any credibility.
I don't care.
I'm all open for facts and data, not from him.
That's right.
That's right.
Right.
You're telling me a guy who's already come to the conclusion
that the FBI did nothing wrong,
that Devin Nunes and people like me are the bad guys,
that we're supposed to accept your opinion,
again, a collusion hoaxer, on FISA abuse.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a joke.
This is a total joke.
He defended the DOJ, attacked Nunes,
defended the targeting of Carter
Page as a Russian agent and this is the guy who's gonna get to the bottom of it another
cliche disaster seriously oh that's not it the David Christopris appointment let me just be clear on what i know are your demands too
this man should be tomorrow today 10 minutes ago fired from this position and never considered to
touch anything involving russian collusion again if you don't appoint a non-partisan non-ideologue
who like durham who's interested in the facts,
nothing you say will be even taken remotely seriously.
You will not have a scintilla of credibility.
That's a period, full stop moment.
Now, I don't care what he finds, because I don't know what he didn't find,
if you know what I mean.
Yeah.
He found the facts that Joe was in the neighborhood when a bank was robbed.
Yeah.
Did he also find the facts that there's a videotape and it's a videotape of
someone else other than Joe?
You get what I'm saying?
Get in.
No,
no.
David Chris around some fat facts are not evidence unless they're evidence in
support of a crime.
That's what you're going to get from a guy like this.
I can give you facts.
I live in Florida.
I can also tell you a crime happened in Florida.
They're both facts today.
Probably 10 minutes ago.
Does that mean I committed it?
No.
That's what this guy's going to do.
He's going to have another one of these things.
It's a joke.
Selective omission.
All right.
I got more deep state stories because it gets, believe it or not, it gets even worse.
I want to hat tip in advance, TechnoFog and others too on Twitter.
Great Twitter account that always, always seems to dig out nuggets of this disastrous spy gate thing.
All right. I got that more on Nancy Pelosi too coming up. All right. Today's show also brought to you by our good friends at a company I was happy to take on because I was a client
of this company before they agreed to sponsor our show. Ladies and gentlemen, LifeLock. Why was I a
client? This is a true story. This happened to me. My wife and I, our identity was stolen a long time ago. It was a disaster.
They went out and ordered a bunch. I'm not kidding. This is not a joke. Using my American Express card,
they went out after they stole my identity and they ordered a bunch of real estate,
like learning courses on how to buy real estate. This thing cost me, what, Paula,
like three months of my life trying to fix this thing.
Remember this disaster folks,
you need protection against this stuff.
You want a new year's resolution.
That's easy to keep.
That's when I got life.
Like I've never regretted it since what a great company resolved to help
protect your identity and personal info and your family,
your family.
They steal everybody's stuff.
Personal info with life lock identity theft protection.
Here's what they do.
LifeLock alerts you to potential threats to your identity.
If you include your family, your family too.
They'll steal your kid's identity, anything you get their hands on.
They see more than what you can see by not just monitoring your own credit,
like your info, they'll monitor your credit, excuse me,
and info on the dark web too.
Come on, most of us don't know how to get on the dark web
and monitor that stuff.
LifeLock's got you covered. If you have a problem, LifeLock's US-based restoration specialist. Know the steps to take to help resolve your case. I wish I would
have had that. I spent hours on the phone with these real estate people trying to tell them it
wasn't me. After all, only one in five identity theft victims who had accounts open in their name
discovered that theft through a bank or credit card company. Of course, no one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all
businesses. But LifeLock is the New Year's resolution that's not easy. That's not only
easy to keep, it helps you protect what you've worked so hard for. Make it your New Year's
resolution, LifeLock. Get LifeLock for up to 25% off your first year. Go to LifeLock.com slash Bongino.

All right.
Thanks, LifeLock, for joining the team.
We appreciate it.
And I appreciate you supporting our sponsors and your patients as well.
So from the Mudflabs Deep State, keep on deep state and file.
So, you know, in a moment of self-reflection i always tell you where
i think we may have erred in spy game we made thankfully very few errors based on sources and
things like that but one of the things i think i may have been wrong on was a very specific fbi
agent who a long time ago i assumed may have been maybe a potential white knight in this and i think
i may have been inaccurate in that assessment based on some information that has surfaced. What do I mean by that? And how does this relate to the deep state?
They're protecting their own, as you saw from the David Criss appointment, where they're clearly
defending the FISA court by appointing a guy who has no intention of looking at the FISA court.
This is a hat tip techno fog on Twitter. Again, a great account who always exposes some of the
deep, dark domains of the deep state. So one of the other stories about the deep state protecting itself that's bothered me
is the lack of access to this very specific FBI agent noted as SA, excuse me, Senior Special
Agent One in the IG report.
It's thought to be that Senior, that Special SSA One in the IG report, who is intimately
involved in this case, Joe, is an agent by the name of Joe Bianca.
Now from the IG report,
here is again,
hat tip techno fog.
That's his highlights there.
He talks about a special agent one again,
believed to be Joe beyond Joe Bianca.
It says a quote.
This is from the IG report.
The FBI liaison informed SSA one and case agent one via email on November
18th that Kavalec had met with Steele
and she had taken notes of their meeting. The liaison could obtain information from Kavalec
about their meeting. And according to Kavalec, the information from Steele's reporting about a
Russian consulate being located in Miami was inaccurate. Let me rephrase that for you.
If SSA1 is in fact Joe Bianca,, which is believed to be the IG report is saying that Christopher Steele right
before the,
the swearing of the Pfizer warrant in October to spy on Donald Trump,
Joe,
that they use the dossier.
The IG is saying that Bianca was aware of Christopher Steele,
who's allegedly wrote the dossier.
Of course we know that's probably not true,
but again,
what was pushing it?
We know that we know that right before not true, but what was pushing it? We know that.
We know that right before they swore the information was true, Steele met with Kathleen
Kavalec from the State Department, Joe,
and Bianca was aware that Steele's
information was crap.
I remember that. Steele told,
remember we discussed this? Sure did.
This Kavalec meeting is huge.
There's a number of other nuggets to it we discussed
in prior shows, but one of the big nuggets there
is before they swear in court,
Bianca and his team that are vetting Steele
are aware of Steele meeting with Kavalec
where he tells Kathleen Kavalec
from the State Department
as he's pushing her the dossier too,
that, hey, this is all being run,
this collusion scandal
through the Russian consulate in Miami.
Well, what's the problem, Joe?
There ain't no consulate there, daddy-o.
And ain't is a word in this case.
Yes, Armacost is right.
There's no Russian consulate in Miami.
So Kavalec's like, hey, fellas,
this guy's saying that this whole scandal,
the collusion scandal,
was being coordinated at the Russian consulate in Miami.
Maybe you should look at this guy again because there is no russian consulate miami apparently our friend ssa1 which may be pionka is aware of this now pionka for those of you i
always say remember the names remember the names i always say in this case, the best advice I ever got as a criminal investigator, my
last line of work, remember the names, memorize them.
Because when they come up again, if you don't have them at the tip of your tongue, the relationships
won't make any sense.
Some of you may be saying Bianca.
So he may have knew Steele was full of crap before they swore out the FISA.
Well, where else do I remember the name Bianca from?
Oh, yes.
He's the guy who goes to the White House just days after President Trump
takes his seat in the Oval Office,
shows up on the instructions of Jim Comey,
and interviews Mike Flynn with no lawyer present
in conjunction with Peter Stroke.
Same guy, same guy.
Remember my Clinton line when he was playing golf
with your Secret Service?
He hit a bad shot and a good shot.
He goes, same guy, same guy.
It's the same guy.
What do I always tell you?
What has been an evergreen kind of topic
that comes up in this,
not topic, but overall thread
that's tied our shows together?
Folks, the spying on of Mike Flynn,
the spying on of presidential campaigns,
the spying on of Trump,
the spying on of Papadopoulos,
the spying on of Carter Page,
the impeachment hoax,
the takedown of Flynn,
Ukraine gate,
all of this stuff is intimately tied together.
It's the same deep state players.
They're all involved in this.
Bianca interviews Flynn.
Bianca knew about Kavalec.
Kavalec is interviewing Steele.
Kavalec's interviewing Steele and they're using Steele's information.
Kavalec tells Bianca, who interviewed they're using Steele's information. Kavalec tells Bianca
who interviewed Flynn
that Steele's information
is garbage.
Bianca and them
apparently do nothing about it
as we'll see
in this second piece
from the Inspector General's report
exposing some of the relationships here.
So now we find out
that in Carter Page,
when they interview Carter Page,
these agents involved in this,
Case Agent 1,
SA1 and others, SSA1, they interviewed carter page and they failed to include in their report that carter
page had denied meeting with russians i'm just gonna say folks kind of an important point no
so you're interviewing a guy you're about to get a pfizer warrant to spy on for colluding with
russians even though he's working on behalf of the cia which you know and ignore but then when he denies actually knowing
some of the russians that christopher steel says he's meeting with you don't think that's a material
fact to include oh this really happened now kind of sealing the deal on SSA1,
again, believed to be Pianca,
and multiple reports
out there, this
is crazy. Something we've been addressing
now for two years. The smoking gun
in this case, ladies and gentlemen, has always been
the Woods file, which
is the file the FBI is supposed to keep
showing what they did to verify
the information they used to spy on Trump?
The Woods file.
Copy.
Based on the Woods procedure.
We've only been talking about this for two years.
Joe's tired of hearing about it.
Listen to this doozy from the IG report.
SSA1 was responsible for confirming that the Woods file was complete and for double checking the factual accuracy review to confirm that the Woods file
contained appropriate documentation for each of the factual assertions in the FISA application.
Okay, so let me get this straight. SSA1, believed to be Pianca, knew Christopher Steele was full of
crap, had Kavalec's information that Steele didn't even know there was no Russian consulate Miami
where they were allegedly running this thing. So he knows that's crap. They know Page denied knowing
the Russians that they included in their FISA report. They left that out. Then this is the
same guy responsible in the Woods file for investigating each of these factual assertions
and making sure they're true. He's the guy involved in signing off on a Bianca and he's
also the guy who interviews Mike Flynn.
You may say, okay, why are we relitigating the fact that Bianca,
who again, at one point, at one point I believed may have flipped.
I'm taking out, let me resend that now,
because it's clear to me at this point that I don't, he may have now,
I'm not sure even after all this information, but I'm not,
this guy's not a white knight in this based on the, just listen to the IG report.
Yeah.
Now, again, this is where I got a hat tip, Technofog again.
Let me show you a headline that was up at Fox News showing you, remember this block, keep on deep stating folks.
Bianca, mysteriously, nobody can find this guy or get a hold of him.
Alex Pappas, Fox News. When I say find him, I mean, we can find this guy or get a hold of him. Alex Pappas, Fox News.
When I say find him, I mean we can't get him.
I don't mean like he disappeared like Casper the Friendly Ghost.
The DOJ is refusing to give Grassley access to the agent who interviewed Flynn.
Alex Pappas, Fox News, published in June of 2018.
Who was the agent who interviewed Flynn?
Joe Bianca.
DOJ Joe, you can't talk to him. That ain't right. Can't talk to that guy. Who was the agent who interviewed Flynn? Joe Bianca. D.O.J. Joe.
You can't talk to him.
That ain't right.
Can't talk to that guy.
That ain't right.
God forbid.
You think?
That ain't right.
Maybe we'll make that a t-shirt.
Joe Amacost.
That ain't right.
Folks, why would we not be able to talk to this guy again?
So the guy who interviewed Flynn, they said he wasn't lying
and then charged Flynn with lying after the interview.
Is the same guy responsible for the Woods file
that's supposed to fact check the dossier that didn't?
He's the same guy
and yet we're not allowed to interview him?
Can you give me a big why on that?
Like, I don't really get that.
Again, hat tip techno for another brilliant find.
Apparently, Bianca got transferred.
Wow, crazy, Joe.
He got transferred to San Francisco.
Reminds me of the...
What are you talking about?
I'm going to leave that one.
Because it reminds me... i'm this is very upsetting
so here technofog goes to the fbi website and they list out personnel assigned to the san
francisco office and there he is joe pianca the third appears in san francisco gets shipped all
the way across the country out of dc although nobody can seem to find this guy for an interview
if we want to get to the bottom of what he did. That's crazy.
Well, what else happened?
Well, again, our buddy TechnoFog goes back to the internet,
the great interweb a few days later and checks the FBI San Francisco website.
One of these things is not like the other.
Look at this.
Crazy, Joe. No Joe Bianca on there. Where did he go?
Where did he go?
I don't know. It's like the
Ren and Stimpy land of the left side.
There it is. Where did he go?
Nobody knows. We need
that cut one day. I'm not sure if it's
copyrighted or not, but it's the greatest
kind of, where did they go? Nobody
knows. Was he transferred is
he not in san francisco is he working anywhere for the fbi anymore why the effort to hide this guy
what listen it could be unlike aaron burnett we do actual facts and data don't ever call me a
journalist it's an insult but we do facts and data folks it could be innocent could have gotten
transferred again be kind of strange the probability of that's kind of like,
oh, almost zero.
But I'm willing to give us an explanation.
It's okay.
So we can't talk to the guy because what?
He's across the country in San Francisco.
Well, why'd you delete him from the San Francisco?
No, no, we transferred him again.
Where?
To our moon base on the planet Neptune.
There's an FBI satellite.
We have him there.
He's investigating Neptun. We have him there. He's investigating
Neptunian credit fraud
on Neptune.
And listen,
the trip took seven years.
So in order to get him back,
we have to send like
the space shuttle,
the space shuttle victory,
which isn't even done yet,
to go get him
and bring him back.
We need teletransportation
like and start.
Beam me up, Scotty.
You will never hear from this guy again.
Why?
Because the deep state keeps on deep stating.
That's why.
Now, listen.
You may be upset about this show.
Good.
I want you upset.
That's the point.
Because until we reach a crescendo of fury on this and start to push our representatives
into getting off their cabooses and doing something outside of the people who have actually
helped us, Nunes, Meadows, who's leaving, Jim Jordan, until we actually push these people,
nothing is going to happen.
But this is our country.
It's not theirs.
That's not a talking point. It's not a bumper stick. I'm not running for office But this is our country. It's not theirs. That's not a talking point. It's
not a bumper stick. I'm not running for office. This is our country. There's 330 million of us
and 535 of these dipped up on Capitol Hill. We run this place. This is our joint, not theirs.
our joint, not theirs. We got to make some calls. I'm doing the best I can exposing this stuff to our 500,000 plus listeners, viewers every day, but I need your help. Calls won't do anything.
You know what does nothing? Nothing does nothing. When you do nothing, it absolutely does nothing
every time. Bingo. It's a fight. It's a battle. It's not going to be easy. It was never going to
be. You think Trump was going to come in in one term? Everything was going to be done. Spygate
was going to be exposed. The media was going to fix themselves. The deep state was just going to
give up. Everybody was white flag, white flag, folks. It's all over. These guys are going to
hold on for the rest of their lives. Their kids have been promised jobs. They've been promised
jobs. It's about money, prestige.
Reputations are going to be ruined.
History is going to destroy these people
when the truth comes out.
Did you really think they were just going to give up?
It's a generational fight.
Listen, we live in the most prosperous time
in human history.
We've been gifted to be American citizens right now at this point in time,
right now.
It's not a lot to ask and not to,
I mean,
my listeners are super active,
please.
I'm not lecturing anybody.
Don't,
don't remote misread me here,
but to some of the people come in and out of the show and aren't necessarily
diehard in politics.
You're like,
ah,
I don't know.
I don't really want to call my congressional representative. really isn't for me yeah well this is freedom and
liberty thing for you because it's evaporating by the day all right i got more more deep yeah
believe it or not even more i want to prove to you again sp Spygate, Mullergate, impeachment gate,
Flynn gate, collusion, hoax, whistleblower, hoax.
These things are all tied together. It's the same scam.
What do you mean, Dan? It's the same scam.
Get rid of Trump at all costs and just make up another hoax after the last
hoax collapsed. And shockingly, oh gosh, I hope I get to this.
There's a, remember what I told you, Joe, a few weeks ago, what's the next scam going to be? The next hoax is going to shockingly, gosh, I hope I get to this. Remember what I told you, Joe, a few weeks ago?
What's the next scam going to be?
The next hoax is going to be Trump colluding with Turkey.
Did I not say it?
Yes, you did.
Yes, you did.
We got to get to the Pelosi stuff.
Yes, you did.
All right.

But I may be rolling down that path now.
Paul is not too happy with the show.
All right.
Today, the deep state.
Keep on deep stating.
This is a quick one.
So I got a hat tip to conservative treehouse guys
who picked this gem out this weekend.
So remember, the deep state protects their own.
They appoint this guy to investigate the FISA court
who absolutely loves the FISA court,
thinks we're all nut jobs.
Bianca can't be found,
gets scrubbed off the San Francisco website.
Now we find who is working with Adam Schiff on this impeachment probe.
Who?
To help get the president out of a member of impeachment hoax,
whistleblower hoax,
spy gets all the same hoax,
get rid of Donald Trump.
This is crazy.
All these people know each other.
Check out this Politico article.
Again,
have to have conservative treehouse for pointing this one out by Darren
Samuelson.
Meet the legal minds behind Trump's impeachment.
You may say,
Dan,
there's no way, no way that one of the legal minds behind trump's impeachment you may say dan there's no way no way that one
of the legal minds according to politico involved in trump's impeachment was heavily involved in the
spygate debacle too well then you'd be wrong because that's absolutely what happened because
as i told you it's all the same hoax quote from the politico piece this is from Mary McCord, a former DOJ official who helped oversee the FBI's probe into Russian
interference in a 2016 election and is now listed as a top outside counsel for Adam Schiff's
little house guys and ladies in key legal fights tied to impeachment.
Here's a quote from McCord.
I think people do see that this is a critical time in our history.
We see the breakdown
of the rule of law we see the breakdown of adherence to the constitution and also constitutional values
give me a break she goes on that's why you're seeing lawyers joe come out around the country
being very willing to put extraordinary amounts of time and effort into litigating these cases
that's why you're involved that really nothing to do with the fact that you worked with michael atkinson
and the national security division who's michael atkinson remember the name remember
so mary mccord worked with michael michael oh that's the inspector general who changed the
rules about whistleblowing to allow a fake whistleblower
complaint to proceed that was used to impeach the president you're right inspector general
oh you worked with him and then atkinson this can't be so you were in the national security
division working with atkinson who was also the lawyer for the head of the national security
division of the doj john carlin who's the same guy who by the way signs Division at the DOJ, John Carlin, who's the same guy who, by the way,
signs off on the Woods procedures. Remember Bianca, the Woods file verifying stuff? He is
the lawyer for the DOJ. One of the final guys to sign off on the FISA war was John Carlin,
who worked with Atkinson, the IG who forwarded the fake whistleblower complaint, who worked in
the National Security Division with Mary McCord, who's now working with Adam Schiff
after forwarding the fake whistleblower complaint.
McCord's working with Schiff
to have the president impeach.
Oh, and by the way,
they worked for Carlin,
who was Bob Mueller's chief of staff
before he became Obama's head
of the National Security Division at DOJ
and worked with Atkinson and McCord
on the whole spy gate case.
Folks, the verdict is in.
There's nothing to see here.
Don't you worry.
Deep state.
Keep on deep state.
No worries, folks.
And they write this,
Darren Samuelson in this piece,
they write this like,
not even remotely curious that,
wait, wait, wait, let me get this straight.
So one of the lawyers involved
in the National Security Division
that forwarded the fake charges about Donald Trump onto the FISA court and signed off on him, one of the lawyers involved in the National Security Division that forwarded the fake charges about Donald Trump onto the FISA court and signed off on him.
One of the lawyers involved is the ICIG now.
The inspector general who forwarded the fake whistleblower complaint after changing the paperwork, that guy.
His division, they altered the paperwork to make this fake whistleblower complaint go out, even though there's no firsthand information. And one of the lawyers they work with,
Mary McCord in the national security is now working with Adam Schiff to
impeach the president on said fake charges who she was also involved in the
spy gate thing.
No worries,
folks.
There's no connection.
Dan Bogino is the crazy one,
right?
I'm the Joe.
It's me.
You and I,
and Paul are all nuts.
I didn't want anyone else has the
story that we're all crazy nothing keep in mind nothing i told you can be factually challenged
nothing now your takeaways you're free to
you just you discern from that information whatever you want
just understand this the media i'm telling you, does not care.
They don't care one bit.
Impeachment, Mueller, Spygate, fake whistleblower gate.
It is all the same people.
Bianca interviews Flynn.
Bianca signs off on the Woods file.
The Woods file reviewed by John Carlin at DOJ NSD.
Carlin works with Atkinson.
Atkinson works with McCord.
Atkinson becomes the inspector general.
The inspector general's office alters a form so that a fake whistleblower can file a charge against Donald Trump.
McCord, who was at the NSD doing all this with him, leaves and then goes to work for Adam Schiff to make sure Donald Trump is impeached.
This actually happened.
Hey, Paula, can I jump ahead to inequality?
Can we leave that for tomorrow?
Okay, because I got a really good piece
of Wall Street Journal.
Thanks to everyone who sent it over to me
about the myth of inequality growing
in the Trump administration.
But it's going to take me a little bit
because it's so,
it makes such a damning case
that Obama is the one
who heightened economic inequality.
I want to save that for tomorrow
because I do want to get to Pelosi.
It's important because I won't, and I do want to finish on a kind of a high note because
i don't want you to be depressed we will change our government it's just a job and it's a hard job
and we're all engaged nobody's quitting we are moving forward and proceeding ahead
we will get accountability i don't care how long it takes so here was a pelosi remember i told you
pelosi said i said to you they were going to move on after the
impeachment hoax dies and whistleblower hoax and Mueller game and all that dies. They're going to
move on seamlessly. Nothing happened to their, I'm telling you their next narrative is going to be
Trump colluded with the Turks. It's nothing. There's no basis in truth on that. It's just,
it's out there. I warned you Pelosi's already going there. Now this is a great video because
not only should, not only should prove me
right that they're already preparing their next hoax, but she goes back and trots out the old
collusion hoax again on this appearance this weekend with George Stephanopoulos. Here's why
she's doing this. In a nutshell, the impeachment thing is a disaster. She's going to forward the
impeachment articles over this week, maybe today. She got wrecked, R-E-K-T. Wrecked. Wrecked. She made all
these demands of Mitch McConnell. We're not forwarding the articles until you do this,
this, and this. McConnell said, this is me giving the double-barreled middle finger without the
middle fingers because we're trying to keep the visuals somewhat family-friendly. Paul wasn't
happy I said that on Judge Ani this weekend, but they deserved it. Mitch McConnell said,
no thanks, Nance. We're not going to negotiate, but you just hold on to those articles
and you have fun over there. Public pressure, Bill Pelosi looked like an idiot. She's now been
face planted totally here. She's like this, palm face. I look like a moron because what happened?
She's got nothing. She has to send the articles over and she got nothing zero zilch face planted totally
tripped over her own legs couldn't get out of her own way so now what does she do joe now she's angry
of course because she was always a brilliant political tactician yeah yeah you're brilliant
all right yeah she was so brilliant she got wrecked by mitch mcconnell yet again so here's
pelosi this weekend i think it was it was George Stephanopoulos,
losing it, going back to the Russia hoax, and introducing the Turkey hoax next.
Check this out.
The president of the United States is in complete denial about Russia's role.
As I have said, in terms of this president, all roads lead to Putin.
He has, he said he's not going to accept the assessment of our own intelligence agent that they were very much involved in 2016 election, that 24-7 now they are still engaged.
He's trying to blame it on Ukraine and this silliness that has been debunked again and again.
But he and his folks still keep advancing it.
and again, but he and his folks still keep advancing it. Everything that he has done,
whether it's in Syria vis-a-vis the Turks, whether it's been in Ukraine in terms of withholding assistance as they try to fight the Russians, his denial about their role in our election then
and now, all roads lead to... And sometimes I wonder about Mitch McConnell, too.
What's he why is he an accomplice to all of that?
He has resisted resources going in a manner of commensurate with the threat for state agencies,
whichever they are in a state could be the Secretary of State or whatever,
to protect our infrastructure, our critical infrastructure of elections. He says you shouldn't even call that critical infrastructure. So it's all of a peace with them. And that's why
it's really important for the facts to come forward, the witnesses to be heard,
the documentation to be heard, the documentation to
be reviewed so that the American people can see. Ladies and gentlemen, you're witnessing, and I'm
saying this, I'm being dead serious, not a joke. You're witnessing a broken person right there.
I counted upwards of four or five discredited conspiracy theories. She throws out totally
discredited, debunked conspiracy theories that anyone with access to a 1986 internet modem
could look up on the interweb.
It's just an embarrassment.
She trots out the Russia conspiracy theory.
Her new conspiracy theory on Turkey,
in case you didn't get what she was hinting at,
is going to be this, Joe.
Get ready.
You heard it here first, folks.
Trump was going to pull troops out of Syria
because he's got some business dealings with Turkey.
Get ready.
Get ready.
That's hoax number 262,000.
It's coming.
She trots out the conspiracy theory
that Ukraine did not get involved in the 2016 elections.
Here's the Politico piece.
Politico, left-leaning Politico,
this isn't some right-leaning outlet,
reporting on Ukraine trying to influence the 2016 election there we go ukrainian efforts to sabotage trump backfire by politico not bongino itico
uh joe pelosi just said this didn't happen yeah politico has not retracted this article joe this
is a documents thoroughly ukraine involved the list goes that she trotted out like i said i
counted about four or five maybe up to six debunk conspiracies you're witnessing a broken woman
who has been humiliated and embarrassed at every single turn she thought she was going to leave
her tenure as speaker of the
house or tenure in congress as this celebrated napoleon-like political tactician and she's been
completely wrecked at every turn and she's just broken she's been she is totally a mess she can't
get out of her own way right now i told you about the turkey thing I warned you
alright on a good note
I saw these this morning
Legal Insurrection had a great piece
our friend William Jacobson runs a great blog
Legal Insurrection one of the best websites out there
I have his piece
with the full piece
his piece with the full piece
his article the full piece up at
bongino.com slash newsletter again
that's our show notes we email them to you every day if you choose.
But this is a series right now of Reagan jokes that have been put together. They're just short
and sweet, but I'm only playing them in light of Bernie Sanders' recent rise to the top,
who of course is a communist who advocates socialism, sadly, and a lot of the, he seems
to ignore the death and destruction that comes along with it. But Reagan sadly, and a lot of the, he seems to ignore the death and
destruction that comes along with it. But Reagan found, and I agree with him, you may disagree,
but I agree totally. One of the best ways, it's almost an Alinsky-like tactic to annihilate
people's beliefs that socialism is the real deal is to make jokes about how horrible socialism was.
You may say, oh, it's inappropriate. I don't think so. And Reagan didn't either.
Humor sometimes can break down walls and crack those ideological facades people keep up
who really believe socialism can work.
So I got two of these.
This is a good one.
Here's Reagan cracking a joke about socialism
at an appointment a guy makes to buy a car.
Check this one out.
It's funny.
I've been collecting stories that are told
in the Soviet Union by their people among themselves,
which reveal they've got a great sense of humor, but they've also got a pretty cynical attitude toward their system.
And I told this one, Bill, you'll have to hear it again, I told it in the car.
I didn't tell this one to Gorbachev.
You know, there's a ten-year delay in the Soviet Union of delivery of an automobile,
and only one out of seven families in the Soviet Union own automobiles.
There's a 10-year wait, and you go through quite a process when you're ready to buy,
and then you put up the money in advance.
And this happened to a fellow, and this is their story that they tell, this joke,
that this man, he laid down his money, and then the fellow that was in charge said to him,
Okay, come back in ten years and get your car.
And he said, Morning or afternoon?
And the fellow behind the counter said, Well, 10 years from now, what difference does it make?
And he said, well, the plumber's coming in the morning.
You gotta love this.
Now you know why he won 49 states.
I got one more quick one, but I won't go,
Paul will kill me if I go into the details,
but to the guy who I met in the Tesla thing in the Palm Beach Gardens mall this weekend, I was kidding. I promise you, I was kidding.
I walked out. No, yet, stop giving me the wave off. I love you. I was just joking with you.
You know what I'm saying? I'm going to leave that because I love this guy. And I felt so bad when
he walked out. I was just making kind of a joke to someone else. Paula was like furious at me for it. So I was just kidding. It wasn't as funny as the Reagan joke,
but I thought it was kind of funny. Reagan joke number two. This was almost as good as the first
one. Ronald Reagan just decimating socialism. He was in humor to do it. Check this out.
The story was an American and a Russian arguing about their two countries. And the American said,
look, in my country, I can walk into the Oval Office,
I can pound the President's desk and say, Mr. President,
I don't like the way you're running our country.
And the Russian said, I can do that.
The American said, you can?
He says, yes.
I can go into the Kremlin, to the General Secretary's office,
pound his desk and say, Mr. General Secretary,
I don't like the way President Reagan's running his country. Come on. You gotta love this. He really, there was no,
no one. No, folks, I'm only 45. I'm not that old. But he's the first president I really
remember, remember. I mean, obviously, I was born with Carter. But you don't really remember, remember. I mean, obviously I was born with Carter, but you don't
really remember much before four or five. I mean, you have these isolated, scattered memories,
childhood amnesia. Reagan, I remember almost everything about him. I remember when they used
to make fun of him, poke fun of him all the time. And I always wondered why. What a great disposition.
Kind of a good note to leave you on and just kind of reiterating what I said earlier, showing you again, that's a great place, totally worth fighting for.
It was never going to be easy.
Reagan understood that.
Reagan took the big fights on the Soviet Union when all the people in the media warned him,
oh, you can't take on the evil empire, we'll lose.
You just have to kiss their butts and pretend that it'll all go away.
Not on his watch, not today.
And candidly, not on Trump's watch either.
The tough fights matter. We're in this for the long run. Hey, thanks for tuning in. I really appreciate it.
I'll see you all tomorrow.
