Starting point is 00:00:40 Dan Bongino. What was that last night? That 60 minutes interview done by the professional journalist dreaded air quotes twice in the same sentence. I don't even know what to say anymore. The media has just so abandoned America, their reputations. If there was a toilet bowl flush for the media's reputation, 60 minutes flushed that bowl permanently last night. What was China buying in Joe Biden, ladies and gentlemen? What were they buying? Do you think China, one of our most significant, powerful foreign adversaries, they have nuclear weapons and a huge economy. What do you think they were buying in the Biden family? The Biden family's expertise in an energy consortium.
Starting point is 00:01:26 What do you think they were buying? Hunter Biden's ability to do advanced calculus? What were they buying? I'll answer that question for you today. Along with my, the return of my Trump is the bull in the China shop full of China, small C. China shop full of broken China. Maybe big, who knows? A full of broken China theory.

Starting point is 00:04:41 So last night, 60 Minutes finally aired their version of their disastrous so-called interview with their fake news specialist, Leslie Stahl and Nora O'Donnell did an equally awful job. I'm sorry. Some people were praising her. Nora O'Donnell did a great job asking Joe Biden questions. She did listen. I don't know Nora O'Donnell. It's not personal, uh, but she is a journalist. So therefore she's open to a critique, just like journalists try to critique everyone else. So the whole essence of journalism is trying to distill what the facts are and get the facts from people running for office. Right. Not give your opinion. That's what opinion people like me do.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Unfortunately, I've had to put on a journalism hat because I have to get you the facts when journalists can't because they're fake news specialists. So 60 Minutes spent 15 minutes. Leslie Stahl badgering Donald Trump about everything, not even asking questions. It was an embarrassing interview. We've covered that last week. But finally, last night, they aired the Joe Biden portion of their interview, where you would think it would be hard hitting and we could get to facts, Joe, like what the hell Joe Biden's name or a reference to Joe Biden is doing on an email regarding a Chinese business deal with the Chinese communists where the big guy Joe Biden's allegedly getting a 10 percent cut? Hmm. Kind of curious about that, right?
Starting point is 00:05:55 We did a whole interview with Rudy Giuliani last week, which, by the way, has done bonkers numbers where we kind of covered that a little bit. So you would think the journalist class would ask a question about why Joe Biden may be in the pocket of the communist Chinese. Instead, we get this humiliating exchange where Nora O'Donnell, trying to be a journalist, asks Joe Biden about Joe Biden's talking point about the Chinese emails where he's allegedly taking a 10% cut. Listen to this. We'll critique it on the other side. Check this out. I have not taken a penny from any foreign source ever in my life. In the closing days of the campaign, Joe Biden has been forced to address new and unverified claims that he was involved in his son Hunter's foreign business dealings. The president's
Starting point is 00:06:42 personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, says he came into possession of emails allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden and turned them over to the tabloid New York Post. Mr. Trump and his allies have called for an investigation, but the FBI would neither confirm nor deny to 60 Minutes that one was taking place. Do you believe the recent leak of material allegedly from Hunter's computer is part of a Russian disinformation campaign? From what I've read and know, the intelligence community warned the president that Giuliani was being fed disinformation from the Russians. And we also know that Putin is trying very hard to spread disinformation about Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:07:26 And so when you put the combination of Russia, Giuliani, the president together, it's just what it is. It's a smear campaign because he has nothing he wants to talk about. What is he running on? What is he running on? Joe. What? Paul, why'd you cut out the follow up? You guys are messing up the whole show.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Joe and Paul are doing you a huge disservice. There's a follow-up there where Nora O'Donnell's like, but sir, are these emails real? Come on, guys. No, you gotta make it clear, dude. No, no, no, no. You, it's on you. Stop blaming me.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Second, the follow-up question where Nora O'Donnell says, hey, are you the big guy? It's you. Stop blaming everyone else, Armacost. You're fired fired it's like donald of course i'm joking there is no follow-up joe didn't cut it out paula didn't cut it because it doesn't exist so just to be crystal clear i hope you went to get i'll watch someone will stop listening right before i said why are you blaming armica i'm kidding we love joe he's the best yes which yes joe and i that's all we do because you got to add an element of sarcasm to the stupidity because me little old damn
Starting point is 00:08:30 bongino former federal investigator and you know just me a dopey cop and joe dopey podcast person paula just the dopey web designer we're not the smart journalists like nora o'donnell we can't figure this out like with the real question no we're too stupid, of course. So did you see what happened there? You saw the clip I saw. Of course, there is no follow-up. That's it. Notice the setup first, where so-called journalists pretend to ask a question that's really an affirmation of Joe Biden's talking point, that none of this stuff about China is real. It's Russian disinformation. Now that's been debunked by the head of the national intelligence community, John Radcliffe, and the FBI that have said that's false,
Starting point is 00:09:11 but it doesn't matter to Nora O'Donnell. She leads and she goes, hey, is this stuff all Russian disinformation? As if Joe Biden, Joe is going to say, no, no, no, it's not. I've actually been bribed by the Chinese communist. Of course he's going to say yes. Do we have a baseball bat here?
Starting point is 00:09:29 Bunt. You know what a bunt is? Again, you got to keep the handle of the bat lower because if you keep it higher than the barrel of the bat, you'll bunt it up in the air and they'll catch it. We'll defeat the purpose. I loved baseball. You got to bend at the knees and the hips.
Starting point is 00:09:42 The bunt, the bunt, meaning you just catch the ball with the bat. Of course, he's going to answer that way. Is this Russian disinformation? Let me rephrase that question. This is one of these types of questions. Mr. Biden, we've heard from the public.
Starting point is 00:09:57 We've heard how awesome you are. Your level of awesomeness is unparalleled on the totem pole of awesomeness in human history. We've heard this. Can you please confirm to us, Mr. Biden, just how awesome you are? Nora, yes, I am in fact awesome. How else is he going to answer that? Holy Moses, this is a question? You got a potential president and Joe Biden who could be elected next week, a weeke biden who could be elected next week a week from tomorrow who could be elected who's in the pocket of the chinese government and your only question is we
Starting point is 00:10:32 heard this is russian disinformation you didn't hear that you didn't hear that from the our intelligence community fbi you heard that from biden as if he's gonna say no this is our media and i saw someone, I'm not going to say who, on the Trump campaign. Someone on the Trump campaign tweeted out last night, good job by Norah O'Donnell.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Really, dude? What? What are you kidding? So, mistake number one, it's not a mistake, it's deliberate. Norah O'Donnell
Starting point is 00:11:04 bunts to joe biden feeding him his own talking point it's russian disinformation right allowing biden to regurgitate this vomit which is all it is so that's problem number one problem number two did you hear it in the setup i know you did you know those of you listening or watching on rumble can rewind or on apple podcast can hit that 15 second back button I want you to listen again how she sets up the precursor to the question by showing the footage before. There's some voiceovers, some VOs going on while Joe Biden's talking, where she's talking and she's not in the interview yet. And she makes three points about this whole email about the Chinese paying off Hunter Biden and his dad.
Starting point is 00:11:48 The 10% for the big guy email. She says, these are unverified emails. They are? No, they're not. A person on the email chain has said those are, in fact, legitimate emails. Lieutenant Bobulinski, who's on those emails, has come out and given a press conference about it. How are they unverified? You have an on-the-record source on the email chain
Starting point is 00:12:13 saying they're his emails. They're unverified? This is journalism. This is journalism. They'll talk about the pee-pee hoax, which was never verified by a single sentient being on planet earth. That's verified. But an actual email where a guy on the email is saying, it's my email is not verified. And we're supposed to take the media seriously. You wonder why half
Starting point is 00:12:38 of America thinks you're all morons in the media, why we're laughing at you, you buffoons. in the media while we're laughing at you, you buffoons. They're not unverified. Second, she says, allegedly from Hunter Biden's computer, these emails. They're not allegedly from Hunter Biden's computer. Hunter Biden signed the receipt turning over his computer. Do we have that Hunter Biden receipt?
Starting point is 00:13:02 Here we go. Oh, look, I still got it it i still got it from last week not planned not planned this is done extemporaneously on the spot here it is my receipt mocking the hunter biden receipt you can you see it in the light there it is my fake hunter biden signature from the receipt there thank you paula paula actually has it has it handy that's the actual receipt signed by hunter biden for his computer where his emails verified by a recipient of the emails were taken they're not allegedly from hunter biden's computer they are emails from hunter biden's computer dude what is that you printed it can you bring that over here can
Starting point is 00:13:38 you put that there come on the show but here's a printed for in case you're having a tough time okay thank you miss paula there's her hand entering the screen for those. You don't think he doesn't. She doesn't exist. Here is a printed version of the Hunter Biden receipt. It's real Hunter Biden. Say, look right here.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Underline twice. I got a light. This is the receipt. It's quote from the Mac shop. We fix max quote. Number seven quote number seven four six nine bill two hunter biden signed by hunter but you know what this you know what this reminds me of remember austin powers the the penis pump scene where they voucher the penis pump thing remember sorry folks i'm sorry if you can but this is hysterical remember that and he comes out of his the penis pump scene where they voucher the penis pump thing. Remember?
Starting point is 00:14:25 Sorry, folks. I'm sorry if you can't, but this is hysterical. Remember that? And he comes out of his cryo freeze and they're like, sir, we're going to return your property. Here's the penis pump. He's like, no, baby, that's not mine. That's not mine. And they're like, sir, there's a receipt sign.
Starting point is 00:14:40 One penis pump signed by one Austin Powers. No, baby, that's not mine. Remember, this is it. We have the receipt. This time it's for the damn computer signed by Hunter Biden. They're not allegedly from Hunter Biden's computer. It's Hunter Biden's computer. I wish we could use movie clips.
Starting point is 00:15:05 I really do. I would play that scene. That's not mine, baby. That's not mine. One receipt, sign. And then they have the book. He wrote a book about it. Like, How to Use the Penis Pump by Austin Powers.
Starting point is 00:15:17 And they give him the book. That's not mine, baby, either. It's his computer. Here's the receipt what the it's kind of the same thing what the is it not can we not use that scene
Starting point is 00:15:36 can we find out please can we get permission from that's not mine baby that's Norah O'Donnell last night at 60 minutes that's not mine, baby. That's Norah O'Donnell last night at 60 Minutes. That's not yours, baby. Alleged emails from his alleged computer? Oh, Dan, it's a bad joke. Can't make joke about Powers penis.
Starting point is 00:15:57 But why not? The media made a joke of themselves about a pee-pee tape. Nobody thought that was funny. Everybody treated that as real. Trump, they pee-peed on him in a hotel in Moscow. He they did he's a germaphobe that doesn't make sense no no someone told someone who told someone who told someone so i think we're gonna spy on his campaign because we heard about this peepee story no one can verify they didn't think that was funny if you treated that as real why is this funny how is the hunter biden receipt different than austin powers penis pump section how is it any different watch the scene you'll laugh
Starting point is 00:16:31 but that's what's happening right now we have a receipt with his name on it the third part of that that's a a mistake. So first unverified, they are verified alleged computer. It's his computer. Third, she says in the intro and the emails were given to a tabloid, the New York post, the tabloid. It's the oldest newspaper in the United States.
Starting point is 00:17:00 The oldest news founded by Alexander Hamilton. It's a more credible newspaper than 60 Minutes is a television broadcast. Caught that. A tabloid? I mean, really? A tabloid? What, you're putting them on par with like what? One of those newspapers like the Daily Planet from like Superman or something?
Starting point is 00:17:24 Idiots. Idiots. Idiots. Idiots in this business. The Daily Planet from like Superman or something? Idiots. Idiots. Idiots in this business. The journalist. I'm really sorry. That's why I said don't ever call me a journalist. Ever.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Call me anything you want. Begins with an A, an S, an F. Any expletive banned by the FCC you want, fine. I'm fair game. Never call me a journalist. Don't embarrass me like that. Finally, so we've already pointed out the mistakes they deliberately made. We pointed
Starting point is 00:17:56 out the framing of the question, which isn't a question at all to Biden. Is this Russian disinformation? It's a statement. Let Laura O'Donnell saying to Joe Biden, please tell the audience, despite no evidence, that this is Russian disinformation it's a statement let laura o'donnell saying to joe biden please tell the audience despite no evidence that this is russian disinformation because i don't want to talk about the allegations you're being bribed or blackmailed by the chinese and you may be president this may be the greatest segment we've ever done on my show sorry self-praise things
Starting point is 00:18:21 but i am enjoying this to no end and I've got like 20 more things to get to. The two real questions Nora O'Donnell should have asked. She just completely blew past. There's no follow-up to that at all. What you just watched. Very simple questions for Joe Biden. To anyone in the media who has a heart, a mind, a soul, and candidly folks, even a shred, a scintilla of dignity left. If you don't ask Joe Biden these
Starting point is 00:18:55 two questions, you are taking part in helping to elect a man that could be blackmailed by our major nuclear powered adversary on the geopolitical stage, and you should be ashamed of yourself and anyone else around you contributing to this debacle. Question one for Joe Biden. Are these emails real or not? Now, some of you may be saying, oh, Dan, that's a dumb question. Joe Biden's just going to lie and say they're not real. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're missing the whole point here folks
Starting point is 00:19:26 once Joe Biden goes on the record just like that guy Steve Scully remember the debate the moderator for C-SPAN for the debate that didn't happen went on the record with the tweets to Anthony Scaramucci remember that story Scully went on the record said I've been hacked
Starting point is 00:19:43 yeah yeah remember that story and everybody laughed it off and they said, nah, he'll get out of it. He'll just say he was hacked. No, no, he didn't because it was a digital footprint showing Scully was lying. His career now has been ruined. Well, Joe Biden's career will be ruined too. Because once he says those emails aren't real, the follow-up question is really, Well, where did they come from? Oh, it was a hack from the Russians. Okay, well, let's look into that because there's a digital trail
Starting point is 00:20:11 and one of the people on the emails has the digital trail and can authenticate them. All of a sudden, Joe Biden's going to be in a whole lot of trouble once the fog clears because we're not going to let it go. So question one, are those emails real? Question two, on the email, where they're talking about a deal with a firm connected to Chinese intelligence and the military.
Starting point is 00:20:40 On that email, where these people connected to Hunter Biden are talking about 10% for Hunter and 10% to hold for the big guy who it's been confirmed the big guy is Joe Biden. The question for Joe Biden is, are you the big guy? Let him say no. Because when the people on the deal go on the record and raise their right hand in front of Congress or a criminal proceeding and say, I'm on the record now, I'm swearing on the road that Joe Biden is in fact a big guy. Joe Biden is going to be in a world of trouble. Are those emails real? Are you the big guy? Instead, Nora O'Donnellnell sad excuse for a journalist says
Starting point is 00:21:26 are they threshing disinformation the bunt pathetic all right I rarely replay cuts but I'm going to play this one again because it's super important my interview I'm going to get to in a second. I get to my second sponsor here, but don't go anywhere. Rudy Giuliani was a guest on my show in an interview that is, I don't think it's understating to say it went viral. It has exploded.

To put it in perspective, ladies and gentlemen, nearly a million people saw this over the weekend. That's like a cable news primetime audience for a show that's digital only.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Rudy Giuliani dropped an absolute bombshell on this case. And to simplify, I'm going to play this cut in a minute. Again, so let me get to my second sponsor. I want you to keep this simple question in mind. What the hell were the Chinese buying in the Biden family? And Giuliani's answer is disturbing. We'll get to that in a second.

Starting point is 00:24:27 Thanks, Aslo, for being a part of the show today. We appreciate it. All right. So why is this important? Well, because we may be electing a president, Joe Biden, God forbid, that is in the back pocket of the Chinese. How, Dan? How is that? The Chinese just wanted to do the Chinese communist, by the Chinese. How, Dan? How is that? The Chinese just wanted to do the Chinese communist,
Starting point is 00:24:45 by the way. The company they were doing a business deal with is alleged to have ties to the Chinese intelligence community and their military. Huh? Now, folks, again, I spent 10 plus years in law enforcement dealing with the intel community in multiple countries across the world. I'm not patting myself on the back. I'm just telling you, if you're a journalist who hasn't, take a seat and put your dunce cap on. I'm not interested in your stupid, uninformed opinion. Thanks. Have a good day. I've done this. What do you think the Chinese, I spent time in China doing in advance. It was very uncomfortable, by the way. I'll tell that story another day. I'm short on time. But I've dealt with the Chinese intelligence community. It's not a pleasant experience.
Starting point is 00:25:24 What were the Chinese giving Joe Biden and his family money for and planning to give him more money for in the millions? What? Well, again, I rarely replay a clip, but this is from my interview show. If you haven't seen it yet, you don't know what you're missing. Go to our Rumble account, Apple Pie, whatever. It's on our regular stream.
Starting point is 00:25:41 Watch the whole interview. But this part with Rudy was so damning. Again, I had to go back and ask him to repeat it again when he answered the question for me, what the hell were the Chinese communists really paying Joe Biden and his family for? Check this out. Mr. Mayor, you said something there pretty profound. I want to be sure the audience doesn't miss this. Is there a possibility here, just to reiterate this, that this from the start was a Chinese operation to get dirt on the Bidens all together, knowing that he'd run for president?
Starting point is 00:26:10 I mean, you said that. I just want to be sure the audience understands. Me having some background in intelligence stuff, that's perfectly possible that this could have been an op from the start, nothing to do with business and everything to do with dirtying up the Bidens. Two possibilities. The Chinese are dumb and like to give away dirtying up the Bidens? Two possibilities. The Chinese are
Starting point is 00:26:25 dumb and like to give away billions of dollars. The Chinese are, among other things, very intelligent and they know what they're doing. And they figure it was a good investment in the vice president since he had a lot of discretion over the islands, the tariffs, and he sold us out like crazy. I mean, it was pathetic. America was sold out completely. If you lost your job to China somewhere in the mid part of 2015, 16, 17, thank Joe Biden. You lost your job. Biden made $1.5 billion.
Starting point is 00:27:02 I mean, it's disgusting. Yes. And then I think they figured that's over, but they had to have another hold on this weak man. So they came up with this deal and the idiot becomes a 10% pardon. I mean, I cannot, if you haven't seen this cut and you're undecided in this election, that video I just played of Rudy Giuliani, regardless of your feelings about the mayor, the president, or anyone else, I'm not telling you who to vote for. I don't have the power to do that.
Starting point is 00:27:31 I'm just telling you that what Rudy said there, an experienced federal prosecutor, regardless of your feelings about him, I like the mayor. I support the president. I don't hide or try to cover up my partisan stripes. I'm a conservative. Even if you're not, just understand this. What Rudy said there is absolutely accurate. The Chinese knew the Biden family
Starting point is 00:27:54 was deeply populated with morons, with idiots who were greedy. And this whole deal had nothing to do with business at all. It had everything to do with giving them money so that they'd have that money on record in a file they could blackmail the biden family with later later on is this joe i mean joe's not an intelligence analyst he's a great producer either is paula is this not obvious to you what the chinese were doing yeah it's i mean i'm just checking yeah pretty obvious thank you what do think, the Chinese are morons?
Starting point is 00:28:26 No, Biden's a moron. And the Chinese knew that. They're devious. I wouldn't trust the communists as far as I can throw them. And given my current condition, I can't throw them very far. But they're not stupid. I've dealt with them. They are not stupid. They are expert social engineers,
Starting point is 00:28:48 expert, super smart, devious, in many ways, evil. The communists, I'm not talking about the people of China. Many of them are pissed off with this stuff too. The communist leadership are evil, as evil as I've ever seen. But my gosh, don't make the mistake of thinking they're stupid. You have catastrophically underestimated our major geopolitical foe.
Starting point is 00:29:13 And I know you don't think that. The Biden family did. Because they were too stupid to figure out. They were being played. That money and those receipts were going to be used later in a blackmail file. What do you think they were paying for? How stupid do you have to be to not see through this? Folks, I'm not going to tell the whole story because I don't want to waste anybody's time.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I'm just saying I spent time in China doing work with my prior line of work. Can you imagine if I'm over there? I was doing an advance in China for a couple of weeks with Michael Chertoff. I spent a lot of time in Asia, who used to be the DHS secretary. Can you imagine if a story came out? Just say, for example, that,
Starting point is 00:30:03 well, a secret service agent, who's the site advance for the Dhs secretary we found an email this was on the cover of the new york times showing that dan bongino was getting a 10 cut of a chinese company alleged to be tied to chinese intelligence in the military while he was involved in a security advance in China, I can tell you with absolute certainty, without a shred of doubt, I would not only be fired instantly from the Secret Service, instantly, there is zero doubt I would be under investigation
Starting point is 00:30:37 for the FBI, zero doubt. And I'm just a lowly Secret Service advance agent overseas, yet the Vice President of the United States, running for President now, has been bought off by the Chinese in an email we know has been confirmed, the authenticity of the email, and nobody in the media cares, and you're still undecided in this election?
Starting point is 00:31:04 That trap tweet makes a lot of sense you're very smart you're just a gene trump's tweets bother you but it doesn't bother you that the potential president united states there's a blackmail file this thick by our major nuclear powered adversary you're right let's get upset about his tweets that's perfectly logical don't be mean dan you'll turn off undecided i don't know what to tell you That's perfectly logical. Don't be mean, Dan. You'll turn off undecided. I don't know what to tell you.
Starting point is 00:31:32 If you're undecided, I really don't know what to tell you. I'm, I gotta be honest. I'm offended at the fact intellectually that you can't figure out what's going on or you can, and you don't care. But Trump's tweets. I'm offended by, by really the ignorance involved in that statement. I really am. The Wall Street Journal's figured out, hey, by the way, center-right, sometimes even center-left newspaper, their editorial board's definitely center-left on immigration. Even the Wall Street Journal editorial boards figured out that, hey, we got a real problem here with Biden,
Starting point is 00:32:10 who may have a blackmail file as thick as war and peace over with the Chinese Intel services alleged to be connected to this company. We may have a problem. Wall Street Journal, if you haven't read this piece, you're doing yourself a huge disservice folks check it out it's important it's by the great kim strassel and i do mean great done yeoman's work in uncovering a bunch of scandals headline the biden quote family legacy what we learned from the text messages of hunter biden's partner tony
Starting point is 00:32:46 bobolinsky she brings up this is a rather long quote i mean i was going to make it two but i want to read this segment from strassel's piece because again it sums up what i've been telling you what the hell do you think the chinese were buying are you really this stupid with their 10% cut for the big guy, Joe Biden? From the Strassel piece, pay close attention to every single word of this. Quote, Tim Strassel, Hunter, in his own angry text, this is to his business partner here about this deal, makes clear that his contribution to the deal is his name. He rails at Bobulinski that the CEFC, the Chinese company, the CEFC heads are, quote, coming to be, capital letters, my partner to be partner with the Bidens.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Wait, what? Hunter reminds Bobulinski, quote, that in this instance, only one player holds the Trump card, and that's me. May not be fair, but it's the reality because I'm the only one putting an entire family legacy on the line. What the hell is going on here? It goes on. Here's another partner of the deal, a guy named Gilear. it goes on here's another partner the deal a guy named gilliard mr gilliard privately tells bobalinsky the other partner to this deal to show flexibility since quote i know why the cfc chairman ye xin ming wants the deal and what makes it enormous it's the family name biden one last part Family name. Biden.
Starting point is 00:34:27 One last part. CEFC, again, the Chinese company, was closely entwined with the Chinese government and military until it went bankrupt. Oh, that's fascinating. Following U.S. charges of money laundering. Oh, they went bankrupt because what? They were associated with the Chinese military and they were money laundering? Oh, that's good. what, they were associated with the Chinese military and they were
Starting point is 00:34:45 money laundering? Oh, that's good. They want to do a deal with Joe Biden. That's really weird. It ends, there is no question CEFC was buying Hunter for influence. I'm undecided. Trump's tweets. Kim, who, Strassel, who is a very sober, common sense, down-to-earth analyst, and a terrific, terrific writer in the opinion section, has just distilled down the essence of this entire case.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Two people involved in this deal, Gilear and Bobulinski involved with Hunter Biden. We have their texts. Bobulinski's confirmed the texts and emails are authentic, that they're real. One of the emails indicates the China deal with CEFC, a company connected to Chinese intelligence and the government, according to reporting, that they wanted to pay Biden for the quote family name. And nobody cares in the media.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Freaking incredible. Incredible. family name and nobody cares in the media freaking incredible incredible you have a total media blackout let me tell you i said this on uh parlor this weekend if donald trump wins this election despite a blackout by the mainstream media a full frontal assault by Twitter and Facebook, a full frontal assault by YouTube and Google, a full frontal assault by the Hollywood hate machine, academia, and pretty much everyone with any cultural influence in America right now. If he wins this reelection effort, I'm not kidding and not being hyperbolic when I tell you, it will be the single greatest political story ever told. Ever. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:31 I'm going to move on. I got a lot more to get to. Let me get to my third sponsor of the day. Sponsors pay a lot of money to be here and talk to the greatest audience in podcasts. We had our best week ever. We're number three on the Apple charts right now, by the way, in the news.

Starting point is 00:38:42 Go today. All right. Getting back to the show. So a note of good news after that segment we did on the media, failing America and acting as a conduit basically for the Russians and their own disinformation campaign. It looks like Amy Coney Barrett will be the next Supreme Court justice, giving the conservative movement a 5-4 majority on the vote.
Starting point is 00:39:07 5-4, Dan? I thought it was going to be 6-3. John Roberts is not a conservative, folks. Please stop the nonsense. John Roberts is a full-on liberal right now. Let's just dump that. But it will give us a 5-4 conservative majority. Fox News being the show notes today.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Senate votes to limit debate on Barrett's Supreme Court nomination. That's just a formality. They move toward final vote tonight, Monday evening. Ladies and gentlemen, good news. Again, I've had my beefs with Mitch McConnell over the years.
Starting point is 00:39:33 I'm sure I'll have him again in the future. Fair enough. But you can't knock Mitch McConnell for Supreme Court justices, folks. This looks like this is going to be number three. In addition to hundreds more
Starting point is 00:39:43 at the appellate and circuit court level. For all my beefs with McConnell, he's done an absolutely terrific job getting the courts back to some semblance of constitutionality and away from being a rubber stamp for the, the far left using the courts to pass the agenda. They couldn't get passed through popular elections. Nice work. I bring this story up though.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Not just cause it's not just a new show, you know, a new show, what do you do? You read headlines, right? Amy Coney Barrett will be confirmed to the Supreme Court tonight. Great, and you move on. That's not why I brought this story up. There's always an angle to it. This is an opinion show.
Starting point is 00:40:14 And I feel like I have to layer this stuff like an onion and peel it away. What does this really mean? Why is this more than just about Amy Coney Barrett? just about Amy Coney Barrett. Because ladies and gentlemen, there is no more a serious conservative case against Donald Trump. There isn't.
Starting point is 00:40:35 There's style cases against him. Again, I'm trying to be fair in my analysis here. I am subjective. I am a Trump supporter. I get that. But I try to understand both sides so I can combat the nonsense. There is no longer a serious conservative never Trump case on the issues.
Starting point is 00:40:54 There isn't. I'm very sorry. If you're a conservative out there, the one or two percent of conservatives who are arguing against style and in effect trying to get Joe Biden elected. You're not a conservative. You're a, you know, maybe you're taking an active interest in Twitter style and the cultural ramifications of tweets and Donald Trump's personality, but you're not a serious conservative. Donald Trump has now, his case for reelection is strong.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Conservative constitutionalist judges, including after tonight, three on the Supreme Court, hundreds more at the appellate and circuit level. Number two. Number three, tax cuts and a growing economy. I thought we were for economic prosperity. Deregulation to get the government red tape
Starting point is 00:41:44 out of your business. School choice advocacy. A healthcare package that gets rid of big government mandates like the individual mandate. There is no longer a serious conservative case against Trump. There are conservative issues conservatives have against Trump. Small ones, but ones that have to be fixed. And one big one. The one big one is we have to do something about
Starting point is 00:42:08 the debt. And the debt has expanded under President Trump. The problem is there's no serious case then to vote for Biden because Biden's Joe, Biden's proposing expanding the federal debt to a factor of 10 times what Trump has done.
Starting point is 00:42:24 So you have no case there either. But after Amy Coney Barrett, from my mouth, hopefully to God's ears, is confirmed tonight, there is no credible conservative issues-based case against Donald Trump. None. Your issues are based on style and not substance. And just admit it. You will elect a liberal radical Democrat because you don't like Trump's tweets and you have an issue with his style.
Starting point is 00:42:50 Just be honest with yourself and stop pretending you're a real conservative because you're not. You're not. Let me leave this segment with a call to action because there's my trump is a bull in the china shop theory i'm really excited to get to don't miss this ladies and gentlemen vote now don't wait please don't wait i saw today it was a couple people friends of mine they were like no my parents like to vote on election day please don't do that please vote now while you have the chance ladies and gentlemen i am really afraid with the social distancing and the masks. It's a different time.
Starting point is 00:43:28 You can make your election day political stance another time. This isn't the year for that. Please don't wait. Early voting is up in many places around the country now. Florida, where I live and elsewhere. Please don't wait. Please, I'm begging you. This is not a virtue signal. I'm begging you. This is not a virtue signal.
Starting point is 00:43:46 I'm asking you as a friend, someone you spend your time with, and I spend my time with you when I go out there and I see you in the streets. Please vote early. Why? The lines are only going to get longer. With the social distancing, the lines are going to appear longer than they really are. I can see it now. I'm going to wait till election day.
Starting point is 00:44:08 It's how I've traditionally done it. It's like a thing with me and my family. It's not a thing now. Stop the thing. There's no time for tradition. This is time to win. What's going to happen on election day is a small percentage, just small, probably not my listeners, but people you talk to, I'm not kidding, are going to drive by lines that are around the corner that appear longer than they are
Starting point is 00:44:29 due to social distancing requirements. And they're going to say, man, I got to go to work. I'm not waiting for this. Please, please vote now. That's number one. These lines are going to be ridiculously long and appear longer than they are because of social distancing. Second, I went to go get a pumpkin with my daughter this weekend. And we ran into, we brought the dog.
Starting point is 00:44:57 Everybody wanted to pet Lucy. We brought Lucy with us. Lucy was like the head of the pumpkin. Oh my God, look at Lucy. She's a cute dog, I got to tell you. Stop back to that line in Marley and Me where the friend of Marley's like, man, he's a single guy.
Starting point is 00:45:10 He's like, I'm going to get a dog. All these women love the dog. Remember that line in Marley and Me? Luckily, I got the most beautiful wife in the world. It's not my problem, but everybody loves the dog. So two young ladies came over to pet the great Lucy. And I forgot, but we have a leash. And the leash is a Trump Pence leash for your dog.
Starting point is 00:45:30 I forgot because, you know, it's the leash we use all the time. And the lady's like looking around, but she's like, I love your leash. Real true story, folks. And I look, I'm like, oh, the Trump. I'm like, yeah, yeah, us too. What's the first thing I said? Paula, what's the first thing I said? I said, thank you.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Did you hear Miss Paula? If you didn't, because she never activates her mic, I'll relay it for you. My first question, I kid you not, was, do you vote yet? Folks, I've asked you to make sure 10 people vote. I'm not kidding. I'm up to probably 50 now. Everyone I talk to, I say, did you vote?
Starting point is 00:46:02 Did you vote? Did you vote? The woman was like, not yet. I'm thinking of going, but I'm not sure if it's open. I directed her to the site for Martin County, where I live. I said, it's super easy to use. We have the best voting system here in Martin County. The woman who runs the elections over here is just fantastic. Everybody's on the ball here. I directed her to the website, how to do it, walked her through it, told her exactly how it goes and spent about two, three minutes with her. By the way, I had a mask on. She had no idea who I was. None. And walked her friend. She was there
Starting point is 00:46:38 with another woman friend, threw it too. Paula was right there. The kids were right there. It took me five minutes to do. They wanted to go see a pumpkin. Didn't matter. It's too important. Step one, vote now. Do not wait. Step two, talk to everyone. Everyone. Anyone and every, I've got my mother haunting all of her neighbors to go vote. She's in New York. It doesn't matter. Everybody vote. It's not good enough for you to vote. Get 10 other people. And once you hit 10, go to 20. And once you hit 20, get to 50. Game time's over. Let's finish this thing. Let's finish this thing. Now, don't wait. Do tradition later. All right. One final sponsor. I want to get to these stories because this Trump story regarding Sudan, it's not a foreign policy story. It is, but it isn't. It speaks to a bigger narrative. And I think you really need to
Starting point is 00:47:41 understand why the political winds in this country are shifting. And I think Election Day is going to be a big surprise for a lot of people. All right. My final sponsor, speaking of which, again, not playing this segue at all, but perfect timing about what you can do to get out the vote. You can go right now to keep America America dot com. Don't wait. Go today. Election Day is it's not coming up. It's here. People are voting now. Early in-person voting has started. It's going. I already voted. The election's over for me and Paula. The good news is people are turning out in record numbers. Florida has closed the gap dramatically in early voting. People are rushing to the polls. Show up now. Show up early. Do tradition another time.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Let's finish this thing today. How can you help? Go to KeepAmericaAmerica.com. The folks at Job Creators Network, they provide through KeepAmericaAmerica.com the most up-to-date voting information, information you can count on, and importantly, information you can share.
Starting point is 00:48:45 The 2016 election was not decided by millions of votes. It's not a popular vote election, folks. It's an electoral college election. The election was decided by thousands, literally thousands of votes. Hundreds of thousands of people have gone to KeepAmerica, America.com to figure out how they can help. Let's hit a million. This is the biggest get out the vote effort in conservative history flood the polls now visit keepamericaamerica.com and commit no no forget i'm not reading this part don't commit to taking one person it says commit to taking 10 and then 20 or help someone complete a form to get a mail

Starting point is 00:49:35 Do not wait one additional second. I wouldn't have taken them on as a sponsor if I didn't think they can help. Not one. 10, then 20, then 50 people. All right. Thanks to Job Creators Network for that uh sponsoring the show probably would have read that for free if i could all right just a quick note before we get this christopher ray um thank the lord and i am not using his name in vain appears to be uh on his way out at the FBI if Donald Trump wins reelection.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Another reason to vote for Trump to get rid of this walking disaster of an FBI director, Christopher Wray, the second worst director in FBI history after Jim Comey. Fox News up at the show notes, Trump could remove Wray as FBI director if reelected. Sources say, thank the Lord. And again, I am not using the lord's name in vain thank you this guy has been a disaster just another reason to turn up and vote in addition to keeping the chinese blackmail guy out of the white house that's another one too a small one but a little small one right joe a? A little small reason to keep him out of it. You know, Chinese blackmail file. Blackmail guy.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Little thing. Yeah. Yeah. So you might have missed it last week in the bevy of media bull. I'm not going to force Joe to bleep that.
Starting point is 00:51:04 It'll take extra time. But bull beep that you heard last week about Russian disinformation, Biden email. You may have lost the fact that Donald Trump, the president that everybody wants to believe is the dumbest human being to ever occupy the White House,
Starting point is 00:51:18 has just completed the third Middle East peace deal that the geniuses in the foreign policy white paper establishment have told us for literally decades were totally impossible. Trump, you know, Joe, the stupid guy, the guy who has the largest economic growth numbers we've had in the last eight years, the stupid guy who just negotiated the third Middle East peace deal, you know, the stupid guy who managed to get rid of the Obamacare individual mandate that the smart Republicans couldn't for a while. You know, the stupid guy. Trump, he's so stupid.
Starting point is 00:51:48 The tweets. He's so dumb, he's managed to pull off the third Middle East peace deal that the geniuses have literally told us was impossible. Impossible. Oh, you don't believe me? We always produce the receipts, folks.
Starting point is 00:52:04 The Hunter Biden penis pump receipt right here. But we have other receipts folks the hunter biden penis pump receipt right here but we have other receipts too including video paula hates when i say that but i say it anyway this just goes to prove my theory about trump the disruptor thank you to the guy who sent that hat by the way paul thinks it's hilarious literally sent us a hat trump the disruptor very funny paula wears it when she runs. That Donald Trump is the bull in the China shop full of broken China. The China in the China shop's already broken. Donald Trump comes in.
Starting point is 00:52:39 They're trying to preserve the China shop, sell people broken China, glue it together. A door opens. This bull comes in, smashes up the whole China shop. And the China shop is finally forced to close down and stop selling people broken China. That bull is Donald Trump. He's about a 2,000-pound muscular bull tearing this China shop to shreds that for decades has been allowed to stay in business because no one wants to talk about the fact that the China's all broken. You don't believe me? For decades, we have been told by foreign policy elites, the gray Poupon crowd, we've been told that you will never, never,
Starting point is 00:53:18 not maybe, never, I'm going to show you the video in a second, never get a peace deal in the Middle East with any Arab country if you don't take care of the Palestinians' gripes first. Never. It'll never happen. putting the embassy in Jerusalem, the actual capital. If you do that, you'll only aggravate the Palestinians, making them more aggravated, and you'll never, ever get a peace deal.
Starting point is 00:53:56 So Donald Trump flips the double-barreled middle finger, I'll use this one to make it family-friendly. Donald Trump says the double-barreled, I'm tempted today to do it, and says, I'm going to put the U.S. embassy where it should be in Jerusalem. You can't do that. You'll piss off the Palestinians. You'll never get a peace deal. And after I do it, I'm going to get a peace deal with an Arab country anyway. And the foreign policy establishment was like, you're so stupid. You're so dumb, Donald Trump. I mean, listen to John Kerry in this speech.
Starting point is 00:54:31 The Brookings Institution. The Brookings Institution. Listen to John Kerry. Tell everybody how stupid you are to think this is even possible. What just happened this past week. The third peace deal. UAE, Bahrain, now Sudan. Listen to John Kerry, great P, now Sudan. Listener,
Starting point is 00:54:50 John Kerry, great Poupon guy. Tell us how stupid we all are. Check this out. There will be no separate peace between Israel and the Arab world. I want to make that very clear to all of you. I've heard several prominent politicians in Israel sometimes saying, well, the Arab world's in a different place now. We just have to reach out to them and we can work some things with the Arab world and we'll deal with the Palestinians. No, no, no, and no. I can tell you that reaffirmed even in the last week as I have talked to leaders of the Arab community. There will be no advance and separate peace with the Arab world without the Palestinian process and Palestinian peace. Everybody needs to understand that. That is a hard reality. Joe, can you give us another?
Starting point is 00:55:41 Hmm. Paul, you got a home for us joe one more from you hmm hmm weird weird how that happened right yeah joe yeah listen yeah i know you're a substandard intellect like me thank you we're idiots i mean like trump we're all stupid you know podcast purdue what do you do adobe find me come on john kerry can figure this out he probably can't yeah i'm just a cop i mean i mean what do i know john kerry would have he's gonna be a police chief he's so smart right away didn't have to be a street cop paula does web development what an idiot john kerry can design websites he's so much smarter than all of us and he's clearly smarter
Starting point is 00:56:24 than trump an international businessman who's made and lost some money here and there but made money as well he's clearly smarter than this idiot Trump he just said it right this is from a while ago to be fair John Kerry but I want you to understand that this was the accepted
Starting point is 00:56:40 almost tautological truth from the white paper writing intelligentsia on foreign policy for literally decades. That if you think a peace deal will be signed with an Arab country without the Palestinians, and even worse,
Starting point is 00:56:57 if you aggravate the Palestinians by moving the embassy to Jerusalem, you have no chance. Okay, it just happened for the third time. You know, dumb guy, Trump did it. John Kerry's the smart guy. Remember, Trump's just an idiot. Definitely vote to get Joe Biden in
Starting point is 00:57:16 so he appoints John Kerry the commissar of truth or something like that. Why the long face, John? You just heard it on tape. Jeez. He was wrong. This is it. These are the more,
Starting point is 00:57:32 if you ever saw the fog of the stupid swamp we live in in DC, John Kerry is it. He's the fog machine creator. He's pumping a fog machine of stupid air into the swamp that people all think of. Now, to get back to my theory here, I don't want this segment to be about Sudan,
Starting point is 00:57:52 the peace deal we signed this past week that everybody said couldn't happen. I want this to be more about my bull in the China shop theory. There are two assets Trump has that have been chronically underestimated by the radical left and the never Trump right, who again has no conservative case against Donald Trump anymore at all. Asset number one, Trump not being a product of the political system, he's never run for office before, hasn't learned to fail because he hasn't been brought up in the system, which carved in stone failure-based tactics. What do I mean by that? If Trump had run for assemblyman, then say state Senate, then Congress, then Senate,
Starting point is 00:58:39 then governor of New York, and then become president, I'm telling you it's accepted doctrinaire truth in the establishment political community, and you spend years in it, that you shouldn't even consider a peace deal with the Arab community without the Palestinian issue because it can't happen. Folks, don't underestimate the power of that accepted truth where you would be laughed at in a group for mentioning otherwise. Yeah, I think we should move the embassy to Jerusalem and say, Palestinians, you guys are going to figure it out, but we're going to work. So stupid, what an idiot. And after that happens for the 10,000th time, as you're in your 40th political position, you learn to not even bring it up anymore because you don't want to be socially shunned. Trump hasn't learned any of that because he's not in that group.
Starting point is 00:59:24 Trump hasn't learned any of that because he's not in that group. He hasn't learned to fail yet. So he just does things that feel right. Like he walks in an office, Joe, and he goes, why do we not have a peace deal between Israel and the UAE and Bahrain? Because we've been told by, no, no, no. I'm just curious. Like they both have common economic interests. Clearly the leaders of both countries would like a peace deal.
Starting point is 00:59:46 I get you've been told that other stuff by John Kerry, great Bupan guy, but just give me a straight answer. Why don't we have a deal? Why can't we fix this? I don't like that answer. Let's just do it. That's Trump. But it's great. So first takeaway, he hasn't learned to fail.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Second, ladies and gentlemen, get ready for a real surprise coming up. I'm seeing it right now. There is a massive political realignment happening in the United States. You know, I was listening to Russ Roberts this week, and he has a podcast, and he's a fascinating guy, definitely not a Trump guy. Probably hates my guts, but whatever. I don't care. He's super smart.
Starting point is 01:00:35 But his insights on the current political environment and some of his guests are fascinating. And one of the insights he's brought up is that there are big overarching political narratives which motivate people to action, to go do stuff and vote. Stories people tell themselves to simplify this, that make them go do things. Everybody get that? And Roberts was talking about how Arnold Kling has said the traditional narrative, big narratives.
Starting point is 01:01:02 I'm not talking about small things, you know, small issues. Like, I don't mean small. I mean small compared to the big stuff, not small for your life, but you know, gun control, abortion, taxes, those are individual issues. Different people have different motives on the big stories. We tell ourselves why we are who we are in politics. What's the left story about why they're leftists? Their big story is it's the oppressor versus the oppressed i'm a leftist i'm oppressed i'm a victim and i'm fighting back noble cause joe it's the oppressor the man all right is it the big guy the man the man is oppressing me right yeah that's the leftist the white patriarchy critical race theory critical theory in general every leftist. The white patriarchy, critical race theory, critical theory in general.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Every leftist narrative you've been told, BLM, Antifa, everything is the man. We're fighting against the man. It's a just cause. You're beating up a Jewish guy in the streets. It doesn't matter. It's just the man, the big guy. That's their big overarching narrative. Oppressor versus oppressed oppressed what's the rights narrative
Starting point is 01:02:08 the rights narrative why we do what we do is hey this is a choice between civilization and chaos we are conserving as conservatives we are conserving a civilized society and establish rules and law and order forget the wonk. That has always been the big overarching narrative of conservatism. It's the reason the law and order narrative with these streets riots motivates conservatives to vote. They want to preserve civilized streets and they don't want people burning their houses down. So if the left is motivated by oppressor versus oppressed narratives,
Starting point is 01:02:46 and we're motivated by civilization versus chaos narratives, how are these political winds changing? Because ladies and gentlemen, groups that have been traditionally motivated to vote Democrat by the oppressor versus oppressed narrative, unions, white working class voters, who've always fallen prey to the democrats your union folks are under attack by these rapacious republicans they hate you they're oppressing you in the union right you understand those narratives are being entire as i was listening to robert robert's podcast didn't cover this is me this is my take almost i don't think they understand these narratives are being entirely flipped on their heads the same people the Democrats used to get out the polls by telling them are oppressed are now Trump voters. How, Dan? That's insane. Is it? I'm going to get through tomorrow the story about what Facebook and Twitter and others are doing to suppress conservatives, suppress or oppress
Starting point is 01:03:46 conservatives. And this maybe will make a lot more sense. Ladies and gentlemen, that narrative that's used to motivate Democrats is now being used to motivate Trump voters. Notice I didn't say Republicans or conservatives. Donald Trump is the bull in the China shop. Facebook, Twitter, the mainstream media, the government establishment class, the swamp, Google, YouTube, academia, Hollywood, all who have power either in the political or cultural realm, power, power to oppress and keep their thumb on you, are not going after liberals. They're going after Trump. And those people who align with Trump, that oppressor versus oppressed narrative applies to them. And the left doesn't see it. They think it's their story.
Starting point is 01:04:42 It's Trump's. I'll leave you where we came in. I said to you I put on Parler this weekend, post that won nuclear, that if Donald Trump wins, despite Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, academia, the mainstream media, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, the Hollywood hate machine, and pretty much every cultural
Starting point is 01:05:09 influencer out there, this will be the single greatest political story ever told. I'll see you all tomorrow.
