Clearly some technical difficulties with the mechanical bell. Gremlins everywhere today. Let's get right to the content because I know at least the content's going to be very good, even if the technical side of the show, we're struggling a little bit. So folks, I've been warning you and in my next book, Follow the Money, which is coming out in october but it's available for pre-order now i have an entire chapter on george soros now you know god forbid you talk about soros joe you know media matters they lose their minds and that's how you know you're over
Starting point is 00:03:14 the target by the way which makes me just double down and talk about it more like you can't talk about george soros god forbid talk about george soros will accuse you of anti-semitism huh explain that again if you follow the history of Soros you may want to reword that that's a whole other thing but we're not going to be dissuaded from talking about what we want on this show we'll do whatever we want when we want because we're talking about issues that are affecting Americans now what does this have to do with this story up at the Washington Examiner. It's garnered national and in some cases international attention. It's a story of a St. Louis couple that prior to what, two or three weeks ago, was probably pretty anonymous outside of their local area, the
Starting point is 00:03:54 McCloskeys. Remember them? The St. Louis couple who brandished a weapon at the protesters according to this Washington Examiner title and was charged? Article by Mike Brest. Yeah, the McCloskeys, who when a group of violent protesters, they were not peaceful, they were violent. They were violent. That statement's tautological. They ripped their front gate down on private property and were threatening them with violence. That would mean violent protesters for all the liberals listening who have seven-inch-thick
Starting point is 00:04:24 skulls, dunces, really stupid people. I'm sorry, who keep insisting that the McCloskey's who left their house, they had appeared to be an AR-15 and a pistol and were defending their home. To the liberals who keep saying on television and in writing, oh, they were just intimidating, peaceful protesters. They were not peaceful. They were not peaceful. Stop advertising your stupidity for the world to see. Nobody believes you. We're laughing at you when you say that because you're a dunce.
Starting point is 00:04:57 When you break down someone's front gate, you tear it down with a mob. You then threaten the homeowner with burning their house down and murdering them. That is not peaceful. Nobody believes you. No one. We're laughing at you. We know what you're doing. We know your gaslighting efforts and nobody's buying it. So the McCloskeys were charged by the just ridiculously, outrageously bad, corrupt local prosecutor, Kim Gardner, who is really probably right now one of the most dangerous politicians in America. She charged them for daring to defend their own property against a violent mob threatening to burn their house down and kill them after they ripped their front gate down she the prosecutor charged the McCloskeys if you haven't heard this story you probably have I mean unless you're
Starting point is 00:05:50 living in a cave somewhere so most of you probably heard this story but if you haven't you're probably like Dan you this is you got this story wrong like scratching your head like wait wait so you're telling me just to be clear here you're telling i know producer drew loves the hand gesticulation it's an italian thing i'm sorry he loves it if i don't do it he gets very upset so you're telling me here that a violent mob rips down a couple's front gate storms their house threatens them and threatens to like basically break into their house by a forced home invasion. The couple never fires a shot, but walks outside with their weapons, defends their home, and the couple defending their home was charged. Yes, yes, that's what I'm telling you.
Starting point is 00:06:37 What the heck does this have to do with George Soros and liberal mega donors? Ladies and gentlemen, this is their plan the whole time. Let me get to this article in a second here, but how did this corrupt, absolutely grotesquely corrupt prosecutor in St. Louis who charged the couple defending their lives in their home. How did she get into office? They say, sorry,
Starting point is 00:07:02 liberals, Joe, I can see it around. Yeah. Pardon. Sorry. Liberal. It's like a conspiracy theory it is you should let's look at this just the news piece john solomon's terrific
Starting point is 00:07:13 website just the news uh st louis prosecutor kim gardner targeting the mccloskey's get 78 000 infusion from soros Link Group. It is. Really? Because we can see the money trail. Now, by the way, just a side note, my next book, which is available for pre-order now, Follow the Money, has a whole chapter on Soros and how exactly he does what he does. Paying people. Oh, look at that.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Paula throwing the book up. Very nice. Thank you. Follow the Money. There's the cover right there. There's a whole chapter on what Soros does. So just the news article. Paula, can you put the just the news piece up again?
Starting point is 00:07:52 Because I'm not sure I'm reading this right. John Solomon and his site, the reporters over there do actual reporting. Just the news.com. St. Louis Cup. No, no. They get $78,000 from a Soros-linked group. There we go. christine dolan i'm just checking joe paul am i reading that headline wrong
Starting point is 00:08:12 st louis prosecutor targeting mccloskey's get 78k from soros link group okay i'm not reading that wrong thank you very much what's the problem here what are they really doing what are they up to what's soros up to what's soros's interest a billionaire they really doing? What are they up to? What's Soros up to? What's Soros' interest, a billionaire, in a local race in St. Louis? Folks, this is my warning to you, and it's been my warning to you for a long time. These liberal communists and socialists
Starting point is 00:08:39 and anti-American, American-hating, Antifa types, and your pigs-in-a-blanket, fry-em-like-bacon types, they your pigs in a blanket frying like bacon types, they will not stop. They want to destroy the country and you in the process. Do you understand that? Please, horse blinders for a minute. My gosh, if there's anything I ever tell you, you need to be crystal clear about this right away so you understand the fight ahead.
Starting point is 00:09:01 You think you're walking into a fight with an unexperienced guy you're going to to win in a minute and you find yourself in an Apollo Creed, Rocky 15 rounder. And at the end of the 15th round, you're going, what the hell just happened? Please understand these liberal groups are in it to win it. I'm not talking about all Democrats in the country. I'm talking about these radical leftists. They are in it to win it. And their version of a win is the destruction of everything you know as America today. Soros and his liberal donors and these liberal groups they work with figured out a long time ago that you have to fight what's been called by some friends in a group I roll with, or used to, the 30-front war. or used to, the 30-front war. Again, you can call it a conspiracy theory if you're a leftist all you want.
Starting point is 00:09:50 It only means we're over the target. I don't care. I disregard you buffoons all the time. What is the 30-front war? The left knows, and Joe, as the audience referee, step in. If I don't explain this well, please. Aye, sir. The 30-front war is a war on local elections, national elections, the court system, the culture, entertainment, academia, the technical, the tech tyrants out there, Google, Verizon, everywhere.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Why a 30-front war? Why not just focus your energy on, say, the presidency or national elections? Because, folks, the way our system is set up with checks and balances, both horizontal and vertical in our constitutional republic, it's difficult to get major initiatives like destroying people's liberty, destroying their right to defend themselves, i.e. the McCloskeys, you get it, to take out the Second Amendment, to take their money through confiscatory taxation, implement new forms of socialism, taxation, and regulation,
Starting point is 00:11:00 to take your health care away, to indoctrinate your kids. It's hard to do that. There's always an obstacle in that one front if just the president tries to do it. So when you hit them on all fronts, you elect people locally like Gardner. Gardner takes away your second amendment right by simply charging people.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Now people in St. Louis are afraid that if they defend themselves against the mob and they, God forbid, have to use a firearm to defend the lives of them, their kids or their family or protect their property, they're afraid they're going to go to jail. Ladies and gentlemen, whether the Second Amendment is there or not in St. Louis is irrelevant for them now. Do you understand that? Yeah. Yeah. If they can't get the Second Amendment taken away legally, they'll just get it taken away in a de facto, not de jure
Starting point is 00:11:45 manner. They'll make it so ineffective and so useless that God forbid you use the Second Amendment to defend your property or your family's lives, you go to jail. Is the Second Amendment even real then? Well, it's real for us, but not if you live in St. Louis. They couldn't get it done through Barack Obama alone. So they figured let's fight on every front at the same time and overwhelm people who believe in big R God-given rights and freedom. Let's overwhelm them. Get them banned from Twitter.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Sue them. Put them in jail. If they defend themselves, indict them. Soros figured that out. That's why. What does George Soros care about the prosecutor in them. Soros figured that out. That's why. What does George Soros care about the prosecutor in St. Louis? He doesn't. He cares about this 30-front fight. That's why his money, and not just him, but others, liberal mega donors, the LinkedIn guy,
Starting point is 00:12:40 and elsewhere, that's why their money filters its way down to different fronts. The culture war, the tech wars, the academic institutions, front groups, Antifa, prosecutors, international, like in my book where I talk about Soros' money in Ukraine, how Ukraine want to fight this fight globally. To attack political enemies. Ladies and gentlemen, these people aren't stupid. They want to wipe you out and any resistance to their big government agenda. This is very serious.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Now, luckily, because I do have a lot to get to, there are some people still standing in the way. The purpose of this block, though, before I get to this, this makes videos of Missouri, the Attorney General for Missouri, the entire state, obviously. Now, St. Louis being in Missouri, obviously, the Missouri Attorney General had something to say
Starting point is 00:13:38 about this ridiculous, corrupt charging of the McCloskeys by Kim Gardner, George Soros-sponsored local prosecutor. He had something to say, too, but I just, before we get to this clip, I want to express to you the importance now in 2016, in 2020, this election coming up in just over 100 days. Do not dare walk into the election booth, folks, and just vote for the presidency and walk out. Please, with humility and the greatest of
Starting point is 00:14:07 respect do not even consider that down ballot races are just as important if Soros knows it and leftists know it we need to know that too it's usually senate excuse me presidency senate if you have one on if you have one on the Senate race on the ballot, then it's your congressional reps, then it's your state delegates. Ladies and gentlemen, Republican down the line. Man, Republicans aren't the answer to our problems. They're not.
Starting point is 00:14:35 They've largely sold you out too, but Democrats are most definitely the cause of all your problems. I'm not telling you there's a good choice. I'm telling you there's a less bad choice. You have to deal with the world we're in, not the world you want to live in. It's no more difficult than that to understand. Republican down the line.
Starting point is 00:14:53 I'm very sorry. They are not the party we thought they were. But the Democrats are exactly the party we think they are. Down ballot races matter. Because when you don't vote in down ballot races matter because when you don't vote in down ballot races people like kim gardner get in office and slowly whittle away your second amendment by default here's the missouri attorney general fighting back against the ridiculous charging in the mccloskey's check this out hello i'm missouri attorney general eric schmidt the right to keep and bear arms is given the
Starting point is 00:15:22 highest level protection in the missouri Constitution and our laws, which I am charged with protecting. This includes the Missouri Castle Doctrine, which provides broad rights to Missourians to protect and defend their personal safety and property against those who wish to do them harm. And yet, in the wake of radical calls to defund the police, and with rates of violent crime skyrocketing each day, the St. Louis Circuit attorney filed suit against the St. Louis couple who, according to published reports, say they were doing just that, defending the safety of their family and their private property. Enough is enough. As Missouri's chief law enforcement officer, I simply will not stand by while Missouri law is being ignored. That's why I'm entering this case and seeking the dismissal of this case
Starting point is 00:16:05 to protect the rights of Missourians to defend themselves and their property under Missouri's Castle Doctrine. A political prosecution such as this one would have a chilling effect on Missourians exercising their right to self-defense. The law in Missouri is clear and must be protected. Do you understand what he's saying there?
Starting point is 00:16:24 Eric Schmidt, this guy's not stupid. The Missouri Attorney General knows exactly what's going on. Ladies and gentlemen, you can cite the Constitution. I have an app for the Constitution on my phone. I'm not kidding. You just carry around a hard copy.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Now it's on an app. Everything's technical now. That Second Amendment, do you understand, is meaningless if people like Kim Gardner can put you in jail for exercising it those big r god-given rights are not going to defend themselves the constitution is the
Starting point is 00:16:53 greatest governing document in human history but ladies and gentlemen let's be candid it is just a piece of paper the principles exercised in it when appropriately defended are the greatest governing principles in the history of humankind it's a a document I adore. And the men who wrote it were brilliant. But it's meaningless if it's not defensible. Meaningless. You have the right to defend yourself, but if you exercise it, we'll put you in jail. Now, folks, the media is in on this. I'm going to get to a quick clip by an msnbc contributor one of the legendary dopes of msnbc but heilman who's just a moron but i want you to understand before i get to this i want to get to my second sponsor before i get this i want to just
Starting point is 00:17:37 quickly set you up for this the media is in on this too they They understand the 30 front war, political, legal, cultural, court system, academia, the media's role as activists and propaganda like propagandists, like the Soviets. They have to make sure you understand as well that the criminals are the good guys. And if you defend yourself, you're the bad guys. I'll play that a second. Today's show also brought you by our friends at Bowlin Branch. Ladies and gentlemen, the most comfortable sheets I've ever slept on. The great part about Bowl, B-O-L-L, and Branch sheets
Starting point is 00:18:08 is the more you sleep on them, the more comfortable they get. It's like a fine wine. What do millions of Americans and three former U.S. presidents have in common? Bowling Branch sheets are the softest

Starting point is 00:19:32 It's more like a 50 front more, but they know their role. Heilman, MSNBC, CNN, you know, the Soviets, the Pravda-like propaganda, agit-proppers. Yeah. So their role, again, is to make sure that your big R God-given rights are whittled away. So what do they do? They go on TV and say things like this
Starting point is 00:19:52 to make sure you know if you're in the resistance, the resistance to chaos, and you choose to defend yourself, that you're the bad guy and the criminals are the good guys. Listen to the way Heilman describes President Trump sending in federal agents to stop you and your buildings from being burned down check this out everything that's been said here i think is about this particular issue is right but not doesn't go far enough you know we are talking this is not just performative authoritarianism this is authoritarianism this is a these are paramilitary units.
Starting point is 00:20:26 These are the kinds of things that we have seen in tyrannical authoritarian regimes in third world countries throughout the 20th, second half of the 20th century. This is not a this is not a mystery what's going on here. To look at this through the prism of symbolic politics, the law and order campaign, Trump trying to rerun the Nixon playbook is true, but doesn't, as I say, go far enough. We are looking, I think, here, and this is a dark, and I don't want to be overly alarmist about this, but I think this is the time to be alarmist, knowing where Donald Trump stands right now politically, understanding where we are headed in this election. where Donald Trump stands right now politically, understanding where we are headed in this election, I think we are looking at potentially a trial run for a kind of genuine attempt through intimidation and potentially through force
Starting point is 00:21:15 to try to steal this election. Do you see what he did there? I know. The story is totally upside down. Trump now is the one using intimidation and force. Trump, you have people in Portland whose businesses and buildings have been under relentless attack for almost three months now. Relentless attack. Graffiti attacked, burned down, people attacked,
Starting point is 00:21:45 people being punched in the face. The videos are everywhere. Just go to Andy knows account is social media accounts. If you don't believe you could see the videos yourself, you know, the terror group, Antifa, the fascists,
Starting point is 00:21:57 the fascist terror group, Antifa in Portland, violently trying to overthrow the city. President Trump sends in federal agents, by the way, notice he calls them paramilitary. They're not paramil President Trump sends in federal agents. By the way, notice he calls them paramilitary. They're not paramilitary. They're federal agents. They're not military or paramilitary.
Starting point is 00:22:10 They're federal agents. Sends them in to protect the people there. And we're the ones, the citizens, these people represent these federal agents. We're the ones guilty of intimidation. Heilman knows exactly what he's doing. He's working on behalf of big liberal, big government, socialist, communist activist groups that are trying to break down any resistance
Starting point is 00:22:34 to their plans. They will attack you at will. They will basically alienate your big R God given rights and you will shut up and you will be reeducated. Disgusting. All right, moving on. As always, I always spend more time on these topics than I plan because I got a lot to get through. All right, I'm showing you how this, you think I'm crazy here and this is just the media, cultural elitist, academic elitist. No, no. This is electeds like Kim Gardner, elected politicians, and the worst attorney general in the history of humankind anywhere, Keith Ellison in Minnesota, a former congressman, an ongoing disaster. This is an actual clip. This is not the Onion or the Babylon Bee. It's not a satire site. It's not meant to be sarcastic. This is an actual clip of the attorney general of a major American state, Minnesota, saying how if you're raped, that cops should not respond.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Folks, if you're saying to me that this can't possibly be true, you're clearly using hysteria here. Just listen to the cut. You'll probably have a different opinion on the other side of it. you'll probably have a different opinion on the other side of it. If you're a woman who's been a victim of a sexual assault and the assailant is ran away, wouldn't you rather talk to somebody who is trained in helping you deal with what you're dealing with as opposed to somebody whose main training is that they know how to use a firearm. Right? I just heard a groan over from Paula, which is rare. Which is rare.
Starting point is 00:24:14 I'm working on getting Paula on mic, by the way. I got all your feedback. I know. She doesn't want to do it. She doesn't want to be on my front. But we have to do it. There's too much feedback. People want Paula.
Starting point is 00:24:24 When I hear a groan, I typically know that that story has been like a gut punch. Joe, you heard what I heard, right? Oh yeah. So you're the victim of a sexual assault. I mean,
Starting point is 00:24:37 a violation of your body. It's unimaginable. And Ellison suggesting, no, no, we don't want the cops there. We want unimaginable. And Ellison's suggesting, no, no, we don't want the cops there. We want a social worker. Ladies and gentlemen, listen, I'm not here. Like I said, I spent a lot of time in school studying psychology.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Who cares? I'm not knocking social workers at all. I don't intend to. And don't take my words in any way to mean that. They do. A lot of them are great. And it fixed a lot of problems for a lot of people. God forbid you're the victim of a sexual assault.
Starting point is 00:25:14 I want that guy locked up. And I want him locked up quick. And I want the guys with the guns responding. Because they're the guys with arrest powers. I'm not kidding when I tell you if a conservative said this, yeah, if a woman's raped, they're the victim of a sexual assault. No cops. Let's get a social worker there instead. Cancel culture?
Starting point is 00:25:39 You'd potentially be subjected to the guillotine. I have not heard a dumber idea proposed by an attorney general of a major state ever than this dumb idea. And by the way, Joe, just a question. Where are the women's groups on this? Where are, you know, the women's groups are for women's rights.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Where are you on this? I haven't heard anything. Wait, hold on. Take my. Wait, hold on. No, no. Joe, you hearing anything on your women's group? Hold on. No.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Women's groups. Allison. No. No, nothing there either. Nobody's at the door. No. Nobody's at your door? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Hold on. Yeah. No, no. Nobody at my door. That's interesting. See anything on your computer over there? Drive report, anything like that? Women's groups? No, no, you haven't. Because the women's groups are silent. 14 people hurt, shot in Chicago
Starting point is 00:26:38 last night. Oh my gosh. Where's Black Lives Matter? I thought Black Lives Matter. It only mattered to us. Ironically, it don't matter to Black Lives Matter? I thought Black Lives Matter. It only mattered to us. Ironically, it don't matter to Black Lives Matter. Where are the women's groups on Keith Ellison? Social workers should respond to sexual abuse cases. Where are they?
Starting point is 00:27:00 The answers are nowhere. Because Democrats are enjoying this suck. I'm talking about elected officials. They are. Democrats are enjoying the suck. I'm talking about elected officials. They are. They're enjoying the suck. You know the suck? If you've been in the military or law enforcement, embrace the suck.
Starting point is 00:27:15 You know what that means? You're really harsh work conditions. You're working. Whatever you're doing, you're on a mission, and it really stinks. Embrace the suck. You have no choice. The Democrats are embracing the suck all over the country. They love this chaos. They think it's great. God forbid you're the
Starting point is 00:27:29 victim of a rape. They want a social worker to show up. This is real, folks. I'm just playing their own words, okay? These are their words. They're not mine. Something, God forbid, like this happens to you, I want the cops showing up. And I want the dude locked up like stat. Idiots. Morons. Morons. All right, speaking of media morons,
Starting point is 00:28:01 it's been a heavy show so far. So on a lighter note, the great Kayleigh McEnany yesterday and our presser at the White House had an interesting moment. John Carl, who doesn't know much about anything. He's an alleged journalist. I say alleged because he doesn't really know anything about anything. And you would think journalists would their expertise would be in facts and background and things like that. Ask the question of Kaylee mcain because you know the media is on the side again like holland and others of chaos the criminals are
Starting point is 00:28:28 the good guys and you're the bad guys for defending yourself so john carl asked kaylee mcain any in this presser yesterday in the brady press room hang on is president trump have the authority to go in there with federal agents and do crazy things like enforce the law you didn't you didn't know the answer is good joe what's the golden rule right about when you're in politics never ever ask a question you don't know the answer to an event is that not the golden rule joe it is never ask a question you don't know the answer to in advance i'm just saying if john carl would have followed this rule he wouldn't have been totally completely 100 percent rekt wrecked by kaylee mcain any yesterday check this out where in the constitution does the president derive the
Starting point is 00:29:23 authority to send federal law enforcement officers to the streets of American cities against the will of the elected officials in those cities? Yes, well, what you're referring to is Portland and 40 U.S. Code 1315 gives DHS the ability to deputize officers in any department or agency like ICE custom and border patrol and secret service quote as officers and agents they can be deputized for the duty of uh in connection with the protection of property owned or occupied by the federal government and persons on that property and when a federal courthouse is being lit on fire commercial fireworks being shot at it being shot at the officers i think that that falls pretty well within uh limits of 40 U.S. Code 1350. Joe, the only thing that would have made that cut better. I have these lint rollers for when if she went like this, like, don't you think?
Starting point is 00:30:23 I have these for when I do Fox, you know, wouldn't that have been great if she just walked away and like pulled out a lint roller? She had a black dress. Wouldn't that have been great if she just walked away and like pulled out a lint roller? She had a black dress on. Wouldn't that have been classic? That would have been the greatest moment ever. If she just like lint rolled or like took a sip of coffee after that. Mike, yeah, yeah. Mike drop like Obama did that time. Mike drop.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Oh, oh, never ask a question. You don't know the answer to you. Dunce. You don't know the you. You are really John Carl respected reporter. Folks, trust me. I've dealt with reporters in my prior line of work. They I'm not kidding. Not all of them.
Starting point is 00:31:02 I don't want to stereotype. The people I dealt with were some of the dumbest people I have ever met in my life. I am not kidding. Not all of them. I don't want to stereotype. The people I dealt with were some of the dumbest people I have ever met in my life. I am not kidding. If you heard their conversations, you would be, I can't say this enough. You would scratch your head like, what? Did this guy finish the third grade? He was unaware the president has authority to defend federal property. He's the chief executive of the federal government.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Oh, man. Dead giveaway. Every time. Every time. Thank you. But I was going to end this. I'm sorry. Joe just inadvertently extended this segment.
Starting point is 00:31:44 Here's a trick for you reporters out there. I get it. You know, information, double digit IQs, tough to price. The computer doesn't work. I get that. But when you see a descriptor in front of an object that says federal, like federal courthouse, federal property, like federal courthouse, federal property, the president probably has some authority to do something law enforcement-wise.
Starting point is 00:32:10 I'm just throwing that out there. I'm just throwing that out there. You know, I'm not a journalist like you guys. I'm not that smart. I mean, I'm not smart enough to be a journalist. What am I? This is some dopey former cop, Joe, dopey audio engineer. What do we, two mor morons what do we know
Starting point is 00:32:25 federal yeah two idiots shaggy federal court half federal guy i swear this gavel someone said is the greatest tool ever because i have to like hammer set myself on the melon sometimes to make sure the computer's still functioning because i'm like are these people really this stupid the answer is yes they are good for kaylee mcinerney for setting this dunce straight all right i've got another media clip i'm sorry for a little media madness before i get to that i'm gonna get to my next sponsor but cnn uh brianna keeler up there with john call remember what I told you these are some of the dumbest people you'll ever meet

Starting point is 00:35:12 madness i pointed out again for a reason so you understand going into these elections that you're not getting legitimate accurate information you're getting activism that's what they do they have an agenda when you understand their, you understand how to dismantle it. So this is a clip from CNN yesterday, Tim Murtaugh, who is the communications head for the Trump campaign. Tim Murtaugh was on CNN with the dreadful Brianna Keeler, who doesn't know very much. And the topic of hydroxychloroquine came up. And Dr. Keeler, just kidding, she's not a doctor at all, she's a journalist, had some interesting words
Starting point is 00:35:48 about hydroxychloroquine. I'll play that, and then we'll put up some interesting commentary from CNN.com afterwards. I guess she doesn't read that. Check this out. But let's remember,
Starting point is 00:35:57 when you're talking about things like this, you remember the hydroxychloroquine fiasco, where the entirety of the media was dead set against anyone ever talking about this simply because the president expressed optimism uh that's not why it's because it kills
Starting point is 00:36:10 people yes and everybody embraced a study that showed that it that it was a failure and then that study had to actually be withdrawn and now there's another study that shows that it can actually cut deaths by as much as 50 are Are you talking about the study that also uses corticosteroids, which are helpful in coronavirus? It's not hydroxychloroquine that helps patients. I mean, you're not a doctor, clearly. So now you're cherry-picking. Again, you're cherry-picking.
Starting point is 00:36:38 I'm not cherry-picking. You're cherry-picking. Tim, I talk to scientists and doctors, and clearly you don't. So then why haven't you been bringing this up? I talked to scientists and doctors and clearly you don't. So then why haven't you been bringing this up? Again, I'm sorry to keep it. They are some of the dumbest people you will ever meet. Collective or collective IQ is in the possibly the single digits.
Starting point is 00:36:58 So Dr. Brianna Keillor, just kidding. She's a journalist. She says, you know, hydroxychloroquine kills people. You know, I talked to scientists and doctors. She says, do you talk to the people at CNN.com where this article just, yeah. Oh boy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Wow. This is, oh gosh. Oh, Joe, you seeing that CNN health study finds hydroxychloroquine may have boosted survival but other researchers have doubts by maggie fox andrea kane and elizabeth cohen so there tim murtaugh was right there's a study that finds that hydroxychloroquine boosts survival a study covered by cnn but brianna keeler's's on the air. By the way, if I was the producer of hydroxychloroquine, I would sue this woman. Hydroxychloroquine kills people, she said. Hydroxychloroquine kills. Are you standing by that? For those of you out there who are bored
Starting point is 00:38:00 today and have nothing to do, I suggest you email CNN and respectfully ask, is that statement accurate? We'd like Brianna Keeler to address that again on the air that hydroxychloroquine kills people. It appears she's giving medical advice on the air. Does it not? Just asking. Yeah, appears so.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Is she not? So if you're on hydroxychloroquine and it could save your life, you have lupus, an autoimmune disorder, or it's being used to treat you under medical advice for the dreadful symptoms of coronavirus brianna keeler's telling you that drug's gonna kill you doesn't cnn have a little bit of a problem on their hands here not only she's saying so she was really confident about it she talks to scientists and doctors apparently you've told her that i i guess or else what you just made it up what scientist or doctor told told you that
Starting point is 00:38:50 exactly be a real shame if you emailed cnn and asked her to go on the record again with that we'd like to see her double down on that one if she really believes that she won't brianna keeler's a moron who doesn't know anything who candidly would rather see would rather give erroneous outrageous unscientific advice on the air to try and attack president trump and his communications guy that's the only reason she said that she's not smart enough to say anything otherwise that's a real clip by the way again we didn't edit that we just cut it short everything you needed to see you saw right there all right moving on um folks there is a lot of substantive really critical candidly dangerous stuff to talk about today as well dangerous i mean dangerous for the future of the country we opened up the show talking about the organized attack on your rights through the 30-front war. But there's also,
Starting point is 00:39:49 in that legal front, legal political front, that's one of the fronts we have to be very, very concerned about. Folks, when I say the political front, I shouldn't say legal front. Legal, I mean by changing the laws. But the battle by the left, obviously, to take back the election, win for Joe Biden to win and for them to take back the Senate, could be deeply troubling for us. Check out this article at the Washington Examiner. It's a good one. It's up in my show notes either from today or yesterday, bongino.com slash newsletter. Please check out the show notes. That's how you subscribe. GOP gallery of nightmares, 10 policies Biden and the Democrats would ram through after axing the
Starting point is 00:40:25 filibuster folks this should scare the living hades out of every single one of you here's the democrats plan for you which will dismantle the republican probably under a few years if all this stuff goes through number one they want to get rid of the filibuster. The filibuster, as Tucker Carlson described last night, we talked about last week on the show as well, is the only thing right now, if we lose the presidential election in the Senate, the only thing between you and the chaos.
Starting point is 00:40:56 The only thing. The filibuster is a way the minority in the Senate, the minority party, which is the Democrats now, but could be the Republicans if we lose the Senate. It's the only, the minority party, which is the Democrats now, but could be the Republicans if we lose the Senate. It's the only way the minority party can stop disastrous things from happening. If that goes away in a simple majority vote in the Senate, it's the way to pass legislation. The Democrats have the majority. God forbid you are going to see these 10 things I'm going to talk about be shoved right down your throat, and it ain't going to taste good.
Starting point is 00:41:28 In case you don't believe me, though, and you think, oh, the Democrats wouldn't dare get rid of the filibuster. There's a hundred plus year tradition of the filibuster in the Senate. They wouldn't just casually throw that out, would they? Again, ladies and gentlemen, don't listen to me. Listen to Chuck Schumer himself. Check this out. Vice President Biden recently suggested that he would be open to supporting eliminating the filibuster if Republicans obstruct his agenda. Where do you stand on that? Are you
Starting point is 00:41:57 more receptive to taking a look at doing that? Job number one is for us to get the majority. We don't take anything for granted, but it's looking better and better. And once we get the majority, we'll discuss it in our caucus. Nothing's off the table. Again, folks, don't listen to me. Listen to the Democrats. Was that Dennis Greenline?
Starting point is 00:42:18 They are who we thought they were. The Democrats are who they say they are. You don't need my word for it. Just listen to Chuckie Schumer. They will dump the filibuster day one. Day one. By the middle of January, you will be looking at a legislative apocalypse you cannot stop anymore. So what's on their agenda? What are these 10 things? Let me just go through them quickly. The list of horribles that you can expect to see, God forbid we lose this election.
Starting point is 00:42:50 There will be an assault weapons ban, assault weapons. Now, why do I use the Democrat terminology there? That's the point. Assault weapons, that term doesn't mean anything. Democrats have never been able to define it. Well, what's the purpose of leaving it loosely defined? Because then it means whatever the Democrats say it means. If a gun's painted black, if a gun's really long, if it has a scary grip, if it has a sight on top, if it has a chainsaw bayonet at the bottom. Remember that gem from the U.S.?
Starting point is 00:43:17 That's real, by the way. USA Today, remember that? Remember the chainsaw bayonet? That's the whole point. An assault weapons ban will mean the Democrats will ban whatever firearm they want. Everything will be an assault weapon. Secondly, amnesty. Oh, that's a lock.
Starting point is 00:43:36 You'll see that in a heartbeat. Pushed right through. No filibuster. No way to stop it. Amnesty for 12 to 15 million people in the country, totally illegal. That one is a lock. You'll see taxpayer-funded abortions again,
Starting point is 00:43:57 whether you believe in life from conception to natural death like I do, or you're pro-abortion. I think we can all agree taxpayer money shouldn't pay for it. Oh, that'll be gone. It'll be taxpayer-funded abortions. It'll be your tax dollars going to terminate human life. No doubt about that.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Tax hikes. We already know that. Talked about it last week. Come on, Dan. They're not going to hike our taxes in a government-imposed recession because of these disastrous lockdowns. Oh, no, they've already said they will. Oh, you didn't know that? You didn't read that? Capital gains tax hikes, corporate tax hikes, income tax hikes, financial transaction taxes. You haven't seen any of those? I'm really sorry if you're a liberal watching and you're under
Starting point is 00:44:38 the mistaken guise that, oh, they're not going to hike my middle-class taxes. They've already said they will. They've already said that. That is definitely coming your way. Card check. So again, whether you believe in the power of unions or not, again, I'm not anti-union, I'm anti-force and coercion. Card check so that you don't have
Starting point is 00:45:00 a secret ballot anymore deciding to join a union. You can be basically, through card check, forced to submit a card instead. have wanted that for years democrats don't believe in choice they only say they do dc statehood washington dc is not a state it is the seat of the federal government it has always been that way washington dc which i don't believe in modern times has ever voted for a Republican president ever. D.C. will be a state you will have two more Democrat senators and that will never, ever change.
Starting point is 00:45:32 You will never get the majority back. Court packing. You know those 5-4 rulings at the Supreme Court? Joe, there'll be 50-40 as they pack the Supreme Court and then we pack the Supreme Court. Next thing you know, you'll have 1,672 justices on the Supreme Court. Joe, there'll be 50-40 as they pack the Supreme Court and then we pack the Supreme Court. Next thing you know, you'll have 1,672 justices on the Supreme Court. They'll have to expand the building.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Court packing, that's their thing next. Whenever they get in, they'll throw five, six more justices on. Then the Republicans, you know, the bad ones will be like, but we need to be principled.
Starting point is 00:46:01 We can't do the same thing. No, no, we pack it to them. We'll add 10 more. And then they'll add 20 more. And you'll be looking at the end stages of the United States. Public option for healthcare. That's coming. The public option, no way.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Oh, yeah. Dan, why wouldn't we have a public option? That sounds great. People can choose a government option for healthcare. You know, Government Healthcare, Inc. That sounds fair. Folks, you don't really believe that, do you? Do you know what the purpose of a government public option is?
Starting point is 00:46:31 Because it's the government, it can use your taxpayer dollars to charge below market fees. Which would do what, Joe? Run insurance companies out of business. Therefore, it wouldn't become the public option. It would become the only option. How does that sound? You like your insurance company now? Then you better fight the public option because your insurance company will be out of business
Starting point is 00:46:54 when the public option uses your taxpayer dollars to drive your free market healthcare option right off the market. You'd say it can't get any worse. Oh, it will. There'll be a full-blown attack on the oil companies. I know if you're a liberalist, you say, screw the oil companies, I hate them. Listen, I'm not for corporate welfare in any respect. But having said that, the attack on the oil companies will be 30 fronts.
Starting point is 00:47:20 Meaning what? Your gas bill will probably go up by 100 to 200%. You like that? You like the idea of $72 gas? Vote Democrat. Finally, the Green New Deal. You know, no more farting cows, air travel, or anything like that. Whether that passes, I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:47:35 I think even blue state Democrat senators would be laughed out of the joint. I mean, nobody voted for AOC's Green Deal. But to be candid, folks, there's nothing stopping them. Nothing. Not without that filibuster. I don't want to be too Debbie Downer either. It's a good chance we hold the Senate. We could even add to it. It's a good chance we win the presidency too. I'm just telling you, ladies and gentlemen, as I did on yesterday's show, elections are contrast, they're binary choices. This candidate or that candidate.
Starting point is 00:48:11 We're doing everyone on this show a disservice. If, well, let's not be pessimistic and explain them downside. No, no, let's explain the downsides. So you understand if you don't show up to vote, exactly what's going to happen to you. Folks, let me just be clear. I put this on my social media account in Parler the other day.
Starting point is 00:48:30 I'm not kidding. I don't give a rat's caboose if there's a category 72 hurricane or tornado in your neighborhood on election day. I don't care if it's raining, snowing, sleeting, hailing. I don't care if cats and dogs are dumping from the sky. I don't care if it's raining, snowing, sleeting, hailing. I don't care if cats and dogs are dumping from the sky. I don't care if the rain is horizontal. You have got to vote and take 10 of your friends with you. Take 20, rent a van and take 40. I don't care. I don't care if they put broken glass in front of the vote, walk over it to get to those polls.
Starting point is 00:49:09 This is without a doubt, the most critical election in our lifetime. All right. I've got more to get to. Really? It's a big load of news. Let me get to my final sponsor. And I'm gonna get to this relief bill,
Starting point is 00:49:19 which is another disaster. They're proposing another Corona virus relief bill. Ladies and gentlemen, it's just, I mean, if we were trying to bankrupt the country, would you do anything different? And the answer is no, of course you wouldn't. We're doing it exactly the way you'd plan.
Starting point is 00:49:34 All right, our final sponsor today is Patriot Mobile. Listen, while the left embraces cancel culture, well, let's get in on the action.

Starting point is 00:50:55 and you have to be very skeptical about what's going on right now. Folks, sadly, as a lot of the good conservatives up in Congress and on the Senate side have been pointing out,
Starting point is 00:51:04 Republicans, many of them, have sadly abandoned their values. It's not an excuse to stay home on election day. I'm very sorry that every Republican has not managed to live up to our standards. But as I've said to you, and I will say again, no matter what, although Republicans may not be the answer to all of your problems, the Democrats are most definitely the cause of all of your problems. Some of them are abandoning their principles. This next pandemic relief bill they're proposing is an example of that. They have an article up in the Washington Examiner. It's going to be up in the show notes today.
Starting point is 00:51:34 Please check it out. By Jay Heflin. What's on the table in these pandemic relief talks? Folks, enough of the proposed relief packages. They're not relieving anything anymore. Here's what's in it. It's not all bad. Sadly, the majority of it is really bad. First, there's a good idea in it,
Starting point is 00:51:57 which we should be, it should be a standalone bill. A payroll tax cut. That would be great. A cut on your payroll taxes would put more money back into your pocket tomorrow. Whenever you get paid, your check would go up.
Starting point is 00:52:10 Go up for a pretty decent chunk of change too. It's not, listen, I get it. It's a short-term stimulus. I like more long-term structural changes. It's better than nothing. Let people spend their own money because cost and quality matter. The cost of what you're says, Milton Friedman always says, the cost of what you're buying
Starting point is 00:52:30 matters and the quality matters because you're buying it with your money. That's the good part. Secondly, there's another good part to it. What's the downside? We'll get to that. There are some legal shields built in. Ladies and gentlemen, listen, some people in the trial, the legal profession, have taken advantage of this pandemic and are suing everybody and their mother.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Listen, gross negligence? No, you don't deserve any protection. You willingly or just from your own pure, unadulterated stupidity get people sick, then that's fine. But if you're taking proper precautions in your business, folks, you can't be sued by every person that walks in the door. We'll have no businesses left. There are some legal shields built in.
Starting point is 00:53:13 I think this is a very good idea. Where if you're taking appropriate precautions, you will be shielded legally. Good idea. Package that, I'm all for it. Payroll tax and legal protections. That's not just what's in there. We got, unfortunately, more relief checks going out.
Starting point is 00:53:30 Ladies and gentlemen, these relief checks are coming from you. It's not fake money. It's not monopoly money. It's your money being given back to you. Just let everyone keep their own money to a payroll tax. Why are you taking it, sending it to the government to send it back in the form of a relief check? Has anybody thought this through?
Starting point is 00:53:49 Just let everyone keep their own money in the first place. No, no, let's take it and give it back to them first while we take a cut for ourselves. No more relief checks. Let people keep their own money. They won't need your check. They'll get a paycheck. State aid. Ladies and gentlemen, no more state aid. The states have
Starting point is 00:54:16 to figure this out. I know that hurts and I know we have to do big boy rules now, but I moved to Florida to get away from profligate States like Mary, Maryland and New York that just take their taxpayer money and just spend it on whatever they want. I got away from that. I'm not paying for New York anymore and neither should you. State aid is finished. We gave enough state aid.
Starting point is 00:54:42 I'm sorry. We got to take the syrup of Ipecac here and talk like mature adults. We're talking about spending money we don't have. They want more money for testing. Dan, you object to testing. I don't object to testing. They haven't spent the money from the last relief package on testing. Can you spend that first? Again, we're just asking questions. The CARES Act testing money hasn't all been spent yet. Before we do more money on testing, can we spend that? Just a question, folks.
Starting point is 00:55:14 Finally, there's talk for more enhanced unemployment benefits. Folks, listen, this is a really dumb idea. If you pay people more money than they can make working, they're not going to work. Not all of them, but enough of them that you're going to cause a deep impact and a long-term recession. We will never be out of this thing if you pay people to not go back to work. I know that hurts for liberals who can't do math, but it's true. Oh boy, frustrating dealing with these people. this thing is a really bad idea the payroll tax and the legal protection is good the rest of this stuff i mean you're just begging for a long-term recession
Starting point is 00:55:51 i'm not kidding all right moving on loaded news day today the tech tyranny continues no way yeah now it's hit home for us again I've told you a lot of my horror stories, right? Twitter banning us from running ads and all. Yeah. Big mistake, by the way. Big mistake. That's probably why I just jumped on with Parler. They shouldn't have done that, Twitter.
Starting point is 00:56:15 National Pulse article up at Bongino Report. Whoa, BonginoReport.com. Free plug, but why? Here's a story in the National Pulse. Google appears to blacklist non-mainstream news sites, calls it, quote, a technical issue. Here we go, Joe, again. Another technical issue with the tech companies.
Starting point is 00:56:37 Now, to be fair to Google, because I'm fair unlike people are fair to us, what happened yesterday, I got an email. Let's give you a little background from a listener. He said, Dan, something weird happened. I Googled Bongino.com. I have two websites, Bongino.com and BonginoReport.com, which is the conservative alternative to the liberal drudge report.
Starting point is 00:56:58 A lot of you use it every day, and we appreciate that. But a listener emailed me and said, I can't get it. It's weird. I put Bongino Report in me and said, I can't get it. It's weird. I put Bongino Report in and Bongino Report doesn't come up. I sent it to Paula and she was like, huh, Paula's the internet guru in this house.
Starting point is 00:57:13 She was like, I don't get it. What's wrong? Well, now it all makes sense. Screenshot from this piece at the National Pulse about the Joe technical issue again that managed to block access to my website quote the search engine powerhouse google which lamented president trump's election in 2016
Starting point is 00:57:31 and published a document entitled the good sensor was for a period of time not showing results for sites like the national pulse breitbart citizens free press the, The Daily Caller, Red State, The Bongino Report, and more. Oh, what do they all have in common? Oh, all conservative-leaning sites. Weird. Weird. Now, again, to be fair to Google, there were some leftist sites in there. One of them was The Daily Kos and Occupy Democrats.
Starting point is 00:58:03 the Daily Kos, and Occupy Democrats. But these weird technical issues always appear to impact the majority of conservative sites. Isn't that weird? Again, are we not allowed to talk about this? We're not allowed to ask questions anymore? It's not just that. These articles will be up in the show notes again, by the way. Breitbart had an interesting piece too. How Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile apparently have an issue with President Trump's texting program.
Starting point is 00:58:31 They shut it down. Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile shut down Trump campaign's texting program. Oh, really? Yeah. Citing some regulatory issues. Does regulatory issues affect other campaigns Democrat campaigns I'm just checking Or is it just the Trump campaign
Starting point is 00:58:49 That has these regulatory issues Just throwing that out there folks Alright I'm running out of time here I want to get to these two stories Because I've been holding them for days And I've got to clean the slate They've got to clean the deck here so time has a piece
Starting point is 00:59:08 of but you know I always love pointing out liberal hypocrisy everywhere so this is a fascinating one Joe I want you to check this out time headline here from time magazine the once formerly great magazine these millionaires and billionaires say they should pay more taxes to cover COVID-19 cost.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Uh, oh, okay. Yeah. My, Joe's like, huh? No, no, there's something more to the story. No, that is a story. But pay more. Go right. Who's stopping you? Go baby baby there's nothing i enjoy more than pointing out these frauds who've made their own money who now want to impart taxes on themselves or everyone else just pay more there's a box check the box send the money you won't i think i read uh what was it with the number the highest amount of revenue the federal government has ever received involuntary tax payments was $12 million in additional tax money? $12 million. $12 million. One billionaire could pay that himself. If all the liberals in America got together and put a dollar in, they'd have more money than the
Starting point is 01:00:16 $12 million the government raised, I think, in record tax, voluntary taxpayers. They don't do it. These people are total, complete frauds and phonies. Fakes. Every time. Total frauds. We want to pay more. Go right ahead. Nobody's stopping you.
Starting point is 01:00:35 All right, let me get to this last story because I got to clear the deck today. And I don't want to, sometimes I roll over news because there's so much to talk about. All right, my last story, baseball. I discussed this yesterday. I discussed it at the beginning of the show. so I'm going to leave it to the end today to get in the other news. But is Major League Baseball intentionally trying to piss off its entire fan base and bankrupt itself? I'm just asking. Because if you were going to do it, this is the way you would do it, right? Interesting piece up in the Washington Examiner today by Tom
Starting point is 01:01:00 Joyce. The last thing baseball needs is woke activism. In case you missed it, I played a video yesterday. Major League Baseball was proud of it, by the way. They last thing baseball needs is woke activism. In case you missed it, I played a video yesterday. Major League Baseball was proud of it, by the way. They put it out on their Twitter feed with the San Francisco Giants kneeling for the national anthem, you know, crapping on the country, disrespecting the country. That's just what Major League Baseball thinks is great now.
Starting point is 01:01:19 So Tom Joyce has some interesting thoughts about this. Are they trying to go bankrupt, Major League Baseball? Let's go to our first screenshot from this piece.

Starting point is 01:01:33 He talks about how the fan base here is already declining. He says, quote, the league's popularity is declining already. Attendance has dropped pretty substantially in recent times. In 2007, 80 million people attended regular season MLB games, including repeat fans. Last year, the number dropped to 68.5 million. The league's fan base is getting older
Starting point is 01:01:52 and is at risk of dying off. In 2017, the average fan was 57 years old, up from 52 in 2006. Additionally, just 7% of their fans were under the age of 18, even though minors were about one-fourth of the population of the 2010 census. I don't know about you, but when my fan base declines, thankfully it hasn't, first thing
Starting point is 01:02:13 I want to do is piss the rest of them off. That's a great move. You wonder who the business geniuses are. And by the way, for those of you who sent me emails and Facebook messages, who work in MLB, I'm not going to say your names. Don't you worry. I wouldn't dare. And who have sons and daughters who work in major league baseball and told me
Starting point is 01:02:31 what's really going on. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. It's a lot more. It's a, it's worse than you thought. I'll leave it at that. It's yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:43 Oh yeah, Joe, they were fascinating. It wasn't just one either now in case you think well it worked out so great for the nfl you know the whole disrespecting the national anthem alienating your fan base second screenshot from the piece did it quote a 2007 washington post poll found that 53 percent of people felt the zone was never
