today but the audio show of course is up as usual we will uh try not to uh to impact your listening

again we had a major technical meltdown today my sincere apologies producer joe is here you just
can't hear him today still wanted to get you a show today um i've got a stacked show for you
today including a developing panic on the left about the growing, exploding Ilhan
Omar fraud scandal. And I can tell you now that based on the left, you know, the conspiracy
theorist bloggers at the Daily Beast and the lunatic snowflakes at Media Matters response to
this, they know something is up with Ilhan Omar and they are desperate to silence it. Watching that clown lunatic at the Daily Beast, Will Summers, whatever his name is, panic
on Twitter this morning about the Ilhan Omar scandal.
It should tell you that something serious is up right.
You can always gauge the seriousness of a liberal scandal by the lunatics at the Daily
Beast and Media Matters response to it.
That is the cue every time.
All right, let's get right to it.
Today's show brought to you today by our buddies at My Patriot
Supply. Listen, it only takes one major disaster to remind us how fragile life is and systems are.

All right, let's go. Before we get to the Ilhan Omar story, I want to cover briefly again media hypocrisy with the squad AOC Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib and how the rules that they want to dictate for conservatives of political discourse never, ever apply to the left so just be clear about where we're going to go with this right now the media sets one set of rules for conservatives and another set of rules for liberals which are no rules at
all now the fact that liberals are frauds is certainly not new but the fraudulent nature of
liberalism is easy to expose when you have the facts in your side so just to be clear in the past
liberals and their media buddies their bootlicking butt-kissing allies, have always laid down a set of rules for rhetoric being violence, okay?
That when conservatives talk about the faulty, broken, horrible liberal policies of their political opponents,
when conservatives talk about that, that that rhetoric could lead to violence.
And any violent act by anyone who claims falsely the conservative
mantle is then the result of conservative speech you tracking me please tell me this makes sense
that conservatives talk conservative speech equates to violence violent acts then later
by people who are just maniacs should be blamed on those conservative lawmakers. Now, you don't believe me?
Here's some audio of AOC, courtesy, this is a CNN clip,
CNN talking to a CNN reporter about how Donald Trump's rhetoric could lead to violence against Ilhan Omar and others,
and therefore Donald Trump is responsible.
Play that cut.
The president put millions of Americans in danger
last night. His rhetoric is endangering lots of people. This is not just about
threats to individual members of Congress, but it is about creating a volatile environment in
this country through violent rhetoric that puts anyone like Ilhan,
anyone who believes in the rights of all people in danger.
And I think that he has a responsibility for that.
Okay, there you go. You get it?
So AOC, who's not apparently bright enough, sadly, I wish she were,
to figure out what she's saying is the very same rule then that could apply to her
right her principle here is that speech equates to violence that's political speech equates to
violence again we're not talking about calls to violence that's obvious if you're dumb enough
to commit a crime and and and suggest violence on a political leader anyone for that matter
you're violating their civil rights in many cases cases, that's a crime. We're talking about political speech. So AOC's stance is that political
speech she disagrees with, if people then commit violence, the person who makes the political
speech is therefore responsible. But interestingly enough, AOC seems to forget that the Antifa terrorist thug, the Antifa thug, right, who was in Tacoma, Washington, who was killed this weekend in the midst of a terror attack on a government facility out there.
This same anti-First Amendment Antifa terrorist used language in his manifesto before he engaged in the attack that was attributed to who?
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
His concentration camp manifesto could be directly attributed to the same language
concentration camps are used by AOC when discussing ICE facilities.
Now, because we are morally consistent and not complete lunatics like the
left, ladies and gentlemen, I am not blaming Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for the actions of
this lunatic in Tacoma, Washington. Why? Because it would be unprincipled that I'm not a liberal
and liberals are unprincipled and they're frauds and they're phonies and they're fakes.
They don't believe in what they stand for. They're political opportunists.
They're hacks.
Are you a fan?
Listen, if you're offended by I'm sorry, but maybe the show is not for you.
Some people complain.
I'm sorry.
I can't take these people.
AOC is an ignoramus.
She is blaming Donald Trump for rhetoric that could cause violence against Ilhan Omar while simultaneously using rhetoric that was actually used by a guy trying to cause violence in a terror attack in Tacoma, Washington.
She entirely misses the connection because she can't figure it out.
These people are frauds.
They are fakes.
They are total, complete, phony, disingenuous fools.
are total, complete, phony, disingenuous fools.
The actual language AOC used showed up in a manifesto by a terrorist in Tacoma, Washington.
Complete frauds.
Complete frauds.
Second story on our fraud alert.
So Bernie Sanders saw this story.
This was in the Washington Post, no less.
Bernie Sanders and the House Democrats,
you'll see the story up in the show notes today, by the way,
House Democrats just voted to pass a $15 an hour national minimum wage.
So we understand that we're arguing principles, right?
Supposedly AOC's principle is violent rhetoric can lead to violence
and that Donald Trump's rhetoric is violent.
She has no evidence any of that's true, even though her language has actually been used in an act of violence.
So she's not arguing principles.
She's engaged in a petty political attack.
On the second story, the Democrats just voted to pass a $15 an hour minimum wage.
So you would think they were arguing on principle and that their principle would be what?
Their principle would be a $15 hour minimum wage is a good thing, a benevolent posture
to take.
It will improve our society.
Therefore, we should all support it.
Ladies and gentlemen, what am I saying here that can be interpreted or misinterpreted
any other way?
If the Democrats, I think only six Democrats voted against it,
voted overwhelmingly in the House,
as you'll see in my show notes today,
to pass a $15 an hour minimum wage,
then they are suggesting to us correctly, right,
that they believe in the principle
$15 an hour minimum wage.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, no.
That is not, in fact, the case
because that is not what happened.
Bernie Sanders and his team,
as you can see with this tweet and this Washington Post story,
is now fighting an effort by his own campaign.
I didn't read this wrong.
His own campaign to fight against a $15-hour minimum wage
for his own campaign staff.
Oh, and healthcare coverage for the campaign staff too.
Ladies and gentlemen, again, these guys, these ladies on the liberal side
are total, complete, utter ignoramuses and frauds and liars.
You cannot convince...
We thought we were arguing on principle.
That's a mistake.
We are not.
Because the liberals don't believe in principles.
We believe in a $15-hour minimum wage.
I believe in a $15-hour minimum wage.
Bernie Sanders.
Hey, Bernie, your team's fighting for a $15-hour minimum wage
on your campaign.
No, no, no, we don't want that.
I thought you just said it was a good thing.
Not when it affects me.
The guy is a fraud.
He is a total, complete, utter fraud.
Not only that, his campaign team wants healthcare.
He doesn't want that either.
But he's fighting for universal
health care for everybody else which means government financed health care this is ridiculous
completely utterly ridiculous
frauds ladies and gentlemen we are dealing with frauds we've always been dealing with frauds
all right moving on i just that story just irked me this morning and that soundbite by aoc just
really got my because ladies and gentlemen this is the essence of the heckler's veto i've discussed
this before on the show as producer joe knows but this is important you understand what the left is
trying to do the left because they have bootlicking, butt kissing,
surgically attacked lips to the butt of liberal activists,
they hack destroyed credibility, mainstream media,
in conjunction with the liberal community.
What are they trying to do here?
They are trying to shut you up.
And to do it, they implement what's called the heckler's veto.
They equate conservative speech
with violence ignoring that their speech is actually used in violence all the time
conservative speech with violence to blame them for the violence to veto their speech and get
them shut down using the legal process and the power of the media look you conservatives are
fine this is gross these people are disgusting when they do this.
They don't believe any of it.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's actual words were used by an Antifa terrorist.
And yet you leave it to principled folks like me and the listeners of this show, Hannity
and others who've had to defend her and say she's not responsible because it's not right.
But she doesn't have any morals.
She doesn't have a sense of allegiance to a higher set of morals.
She is purely a political actor who will do anything, lie, cheat.
It doesn't matter to hurt her conservative opponents because they don't believe in principles.
Now, you may say, well, why are we then sticking to the rules if they won't?
Because, ladies and gentlemen, the fabric of society disintegrates when we let these
liberal, political, just complete, total, I mean, ignoramuses, when we let them dictate
the rules for the rest of us, the entire fabric of what we stand for is going to fall apart.
Listen, I am all about the new rules.
Fighting and fighting back hard.
But the minute we allow this connection to be made between what maniacs do and political speech, trust me, folks, this battle is over.
All right, moving on. You know what? Let me get to this quick because i want to this is going to be
an important show today i really regret not having a video show today maybe we'll try to do one later
a quick one um for youtube if we can figure we had a major league technical meltdown today by the way
i signed that yesterday folks for the audio signed 2,500 books over the last two days for my
new book, Exonerated. It'll be coming out in September now, which is good. We finished it up.
It's in print now. And my elbows are raw from leaning them on the table for signing those books.
So I'm looking forward to getting that out there. Exonerated, signed them yesterday.
Yesterday was a long day, but I was busy yesterday researching the work
of Dave Steinberg on Ilhan Omar.
And I have a piece up from Powerline blog
up at the show notes today
that I'm telling you the liberals are panicking about.
The Omar scandal,
what looks like marriage fraud, immigration fraud,
potentially election fraud,
is blowing up and the left is in a panic.
I'll get to that in a
second. Quickly, today's show also brought to you by our buddies at Brickhouse Nutrition.

Okay.
So Powerline blog, Dave Steinberg, who has been all over.
I discussed this PJ Media story yesterday.
This exploding Ilhan Omar scandal.
Let's get to it here.
What are some of the allegations here in the piece?
The allegations and the evidence presented in the piece,
which by the way,
is far more evidence ever presented
of the Russian collusion hoax,
which bloggers and activists at the Daily Beast
and others have run with full time.
It's a liberal blog.
It gets no readership at all.
It's pretty disgraceful.
They were the ones that lied about me being fired from NRA TV when the NRA TV
actually issued a statement saying I left.
I actually have a text from them acknowledging that.
These people are full-time liars.
They have zero credibility to the Daily Beast.
They're panicking.
Why?
Because the evidence is now getting overwhelming that the allegations that Ilhan Omar may have
married her biological
brother in an immigration scam, the evidence is clear. Let me walk through for you this Steinberg
piece. I'm going to present this to you in a police file type format, and you can draw your
own conclusions at the end, because unlike the liberal activists and the liberal media, we're
going to do our actual homework here. Again, this is all in the Powerline blog piece up at the show notes today at Bongino.com if you choose to check it out. So Ilhan Omar, a Democrat
representative in Congress, radical leftist, has already acknowledged that one of our biological
sisters is a woman by the name of Sarah Nawar Elmi. Now, the Elmi portion of that is a little bit difficult to find,
but according to Steinberg's sources in the Somali community,
that was Ilhan Omar's original last name.
Sorry, I got to itch my trap there.
It was Ilhan.
Elmi is their last name, their family name.
So Sarah Noor Elmi, Omar acknowledges is her sister.
You tracking me here?
So Sarah Noor and Elmar have both referred to a guy
by the name of Noor Saeed Elmi as their father.
So Omar only acknowledges this one sister, Sarah Noor.
She doesn't acknowledge the other sister she has and a brother.
But she's publicly acknowledged Sarah Noor as her sister.
Sarah Noor and her have both referred to in various social media posts to Noor Saeed Elmi as their father.
Now, this is where it gets hysterical.
This is how you know Will Summers
and the other bloggers
at the discredited conspiracy site,
The Daily Beast.
This is how you know they're panicking.
Sarah Nawar is referred to,
this guy, Nawar Saeed, as her father.
The Daily Beast defends to that
because it's in social media posts
that have been screen
capped we can already see the evidence right the daily beast like well in other cultures people
refer to sisters brothers and fathers in all kinds of way uh they do are you sure about that
now listen i've heard people in the streets say hey brother it's people in the gym who obviously
aren't their brother um i haven't heard people post a picture
of a man where they both publicly acknowledge as their father both times and then just suggest that
they were just kidding and it was some kind of cultural reference that i'm not kidding like
that's the conspiracy theorist at the tail beast that's their actual defense to this
so just to be clear ilhan omar has posted along with sarah noah i'm going to walk through this slow
forgive me for repeating but i want you to track this have referred to noah saeed as their father
right again as i said to you ilhan omar's name according to multiple sources before they came
into the into the community in the united states was ilhan elmi They have a sister, according to the report,
that Ilhan Omar
will not acknowledge.
The sister is a
contact friend of the
father, Nawar Saeed,
on their social media accounts,
and the sister's name is
apparently Leila Elmi.
Same last name.
Now, what's fascinating is Leila Elmi. Same last name. Now, what's fascinating is Leila Elmi has changed their Facebook name to a different
last name, although the URL for the Facebook page still goes to Leila Elmi.
Kind of fascinating.
Kind of fascinating.
Leila Elmi has a United Kingdom marriage certificate,
which again, you can see the screenshots on the Paraline blog piece,
has a UK marriage certificate
where she lists her father's name as Noor Elmi.
The same Noor Elmi that Ilhan Omar and Sarah Noor have identified in social media posts as their father.
Clearly, clearly, if you're a rational human being,
unlike Will Summers and the conspiracy theorists at the Daily Beast blog, right?
Clearly identifying a familial relationship between these two sisters,
the third sister and the father,
Nawar Saeed Elmi.
You can look at the posts and the marriage certificate yourself.
No one's disputing the authenticity of these things.
The Daily Beast blog, their only defense, only defense is that, well, people call people
father and brother and sister for all kinds of
reasons. Okay. All right. You believe that if you're, if you're dumb enough to follow Will
Summers and the Daily Beast blog and believe that, fine. But there's more evidence, which
the Daily Beast blog, of course, will leave out. There are Instagram photos of Ilhan Omar and Sarah Noor and Layla taken as far back as 2011 where they say on the photos, I love my sisters.
There's significant interaction between the two and the three of them.
There, of course, is a 2015 photo.
I say, of course, because I addressed this yesterday.
A 2015 photo with Ilhan Omar
and the alleged brother, Ahmad Elmi.
Although she said she couldn't find Elmi
after the brother she allegedly married in 2009
and divorced in 2011, she said she couldn't find himmi after the brother she allegedly married in 2009 and divorced in 2011.
She said she couldn't find him and never saw him again. Although, as I said yesterday,
there are photos you can see on Ilhan Omar's social media accounts in the Powerline blog piece
of Ilhan Omar in 2015 after 2011 with the brother she says is not her brother, who she said she
divorced, who says he's not her
brother and that they were never married even though they were married and we could i showed
you yesterday on the video show that video of the hospital bracelet clearly identifying
ahmad elmi by the not acknowledge that's her sister
yes it gets worse a dc socialite on his facebook while covering a meeting he had with Ilhan Omar is describing a complaint she made to the
D.C. whatever taxi cab commission, whatever it may be.
This complaint happened in 2016, and according to Ilhan Omar herself, she got in a cab and
some cab driver accused her of being with ISIS.
So she lodged a formal complaint.
Now, in that formal complaint, she says her witness, get a load of this.
The witness, according to the DC Socialite's recap of what Ilhan Omar told him, he put this on his Facebook page. was Layla Elmi,
who Ilhan Omar identifies to the socialite as her sister.
The same guy who identifies Nawar Elmi as the father,
who is also the father of Ahmad Elmi.
Again, the Daily Beast blog will ignore all of this stuff.
That's not evidence while promoting a debunked,
discredited conspiracy theory about collusion.
Now, what's fascinating is Steinberg,
who authored the piece,
they tried to get a hold of the complaint,
the formal complaint to the DC Commission. They sent it back and they redacted the name of the witness in the car. Folks, do you believe this? Do you believe this
garbage? What's going on right now? There is a, why is Ilhan Omar so desperate to want to run
away from this story? Why? Why not just the bucket? Why not let them talk to Ahmad Elmi and just say the stories?
The evidence is overwhelming.
Why are they trying to suppress the story with their liberal blogger buddies at the Daily Beast and Will Simmers?
Why are they trying to do that?
Why are you so desperate to make it go away?
This is easy to disprove.
The evidence is overwhelming.
The Trump team provided
what? Millions of documents
to the Mueller team, thousands
of hours of testimony by the White
House's own lawyers because they knew they did nothing wrong.
Why not just let
Laila Elmi and Ahmad Elmi,
Nawar Saeed Elmi, just
go on the record and say
Ilhan Omar is not the daughter
or the brother
why not just say it
because the conspiracy theorists
at the Daily Blogger have a new theory
that yes claiming in post that that's your dad
doesn't mean it's your dad
it's just a cultural use for the word dad
that we don't have here
that marrying your brother who says his birthday is not a certain date while posting a social
media pic with a hospital band having that exact same birthday and taking pictures with
Ilhan Omar while saying you never saw her again.
None of that should, none of that's worthy of review at all.
But reviewing a debunked conspiracy theory about Donald Trump colluding with the Russians
that only an idiot would believe, that is totally worth our time folks the the conspiracy theorists like Will Simmers and the
Daily Beast lunatics and the media matters a joke no one even takes it but every joke media matters
never matter they don't matter to anybody they think they meant they are completely totally
meaningless rudderless they're run by a transphobic homophobe named Angelo Corazon, who is an absolute lunatic.
Just look up that article in the Daily Caller, exposing that guy for all his—he's totally
anti-Semitic.
The guy's a disgrace to humankind.
They are so desperate to make this story go away because they know it is devastating.
There were formal documents filed that apparently, based on an overwhelming amount of evidence,
marriage fraud, election fraud, were lies, complete lies, and a fraud.
Unbelievable.
Journalism, totally, completely dead.
Journalism is dead. These people are in a panic to make this story go away.
in California as a university out there.
Just a complete train wreck in Berkeley.
When I tell you what they're doing now and how they can't even keep track of their own idiocy,
you're going to laugh your butt off.
I've got some audio.
It's going to blow your mind.
All right, finally, today's show brought to you by buddies at GenuCell.

done that in a while. I'm used to looking at the camera and seeing graphics and stuff. I'm going
to tell you, it's a little strange. I've gotten kind of out of the audio-only mold.
But you know what? It's my original, and I will always be loyal to my audio audience. You were
here first. You guys and ladies are the best. All right, moving on. So Berkeley, I have this
story up at b Bongino.com.
The city of Berkeley has a university over there.
Again, jokingly, people call it Berserkly because it's so radically far left,
has kind of crossed the stupid barrier again.
We are now past the event horizon
into the dopey black hole.
And they are banning the city of Berkeley
in their city code,
the use of the word man in certain
terms. So, you know, because of, of, of this ridiculous pronoun hysteria, which is only,
only a panic on the front. Listen, people on the same sentient beings in the United States,
don't take any of you seriously who do this pronoun stuff. I'm just telling you, what you choose to do with your pronouns and they and Z and we and
that's your bag of donuts.
You knock it out.
Nobody takes you seriously.
Nobody.
You guys can laugh amongst yourselves.
Even you don't take yourself seriously, as I'll show in this video audio in a second.
So Berkeley's banning the term manhole and man and women,
I guess because they believe it's discriminatory,
which is absolutely hysterical
and so beyond stupid.
I think even a lot of liberals
are laughing at these lunatics.
Manhole will be replaced with maintenance hole.
Okay.
Men and women will be replaced with people
and the list goes on and on of other ways.
Man will be banned from the language in the city code.
Now I have this video here.
This is a Fox news clip of a California state Senator engaging in this same
pronoun nonsense, pronoun hysteria.
Again, there's nobody takes seriously, but the radical
fall, even liberals are laughing at you on this one. This is video, an audio of a California state
senator trying to implement the same policy in their committee meetings where they won't use
he and she pronouns. They will refer to he and she as they. But the state senator, check this out, can't even follow her own rules.
Just seconds later, play this cut.
She said you can't use those in this room during the hearing.
You got to use they.
Here she is breaking her own rule.
So that we are using what my grammar teacher would have had a heart attack over.
We are using the phrase they.
My grammar teacher is long gone and I won't be hearing from her.
And if any of you.
From them.
Exactly.
From they.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, in a normal social setting with reasonable, sane people, we would all agree that this is possibly one of the dumbest liberal attempts to to change and contour our culture differently that we've ever seen.
It's hysterical in its hilarity because nobody is going to listen to this.
The reason language has a common set of rules.
We refer to a man as a he
and a woman as a she. Listen, you identify however you want. I don't care, okay? There's a male
pronoun and a female pronoun. It's because we need a common set of rules. Why? Think about this,
folks. Think this through. Even to the liberals listening, the radical ones, because I know normal liberals are even laughing at this nonsense, right?
Why does language have to have a common set of rules?
Again, I don't mean to insult the intelligence of my conservative listeners out there
because you already know the answers,
but for the liberals who have a tough time with this,
if we can't agree that a word means what it means,
that he refers to a man in a singular way, she refers to a woman, and we now start saying, well, we're going to use the word they, which is plural, meaning multiple people to describe individual males or females, then the language pen. You hear that on the microphone? I'm tapping.
This is a what?
PaperMate 1.0 M pen black.
If I say, go get me the PaperMate pen and you interpret the PaperMate pen to mean go
get me the TV remote control because that's your truth, air quotes, then we cannot have
a functioning society.
We would disintegrate into the Tower of Babel in moments.
That's why we have language.
Singular versus plural, male versus female.
Hey, go get that guy.
By that guy, do you mean that woman?
No, I mean that guy.
Well, what do you mean the guy?
I mean the guy right there.
I thought you meant him.
Why would you think that?
Because I don't use those terms.
Oh my gosh.
Go get they.
They?
What do you mean go get they?
Go get him?
No, they.
You want me to get multiple people?
No, just him.
I thought you were supposed to get they.
You understand how quickly society descends into complete chaos when we don't have a standard set of operating rules for what we're talking about this is maniacal this lady that's an older cut by the way it's
from a few months ago the california state senator realizing how insane this is can't
even keep her own rules straight when referring to her childhood teacher and she calls her her
i thought you're supposed to call her they.
Please tell me you get what I'm talking about here. This is the left's goal to implicate constantly subjective rules. Why? Objective rules are this. He refers to a man
by himself. She refers to a woman by herself. They refers to a group of people, possibly all men, possibly a woman, possibly men and women.
What the left wants to do is disconnect America.
The world for that matter, wherever they act, wherever they activate their nonsense, wants to disconnect America from an objective set of rules and values.
Ladies and gentlemen, that's why they can't stand the family.
That's why they can't stand faith in God.
If you are a believer in big R God-given rights,
you have an objective set of values
that aren't changeable
by the subjective interpretations by the left.
They hate that.
Why do they like subjectiveness?
Again, think it through.
Because that's the whole essence
of government policy to change society
is government constantly changing the rules.
If you have a constitution that adheres to God given big all rights, the rules aren't changeable.
That constitution will tell you what the government can't do, not what they can.
The left needs subjectivity, constantly changing rules so that the government can constantly reevaluate and change and contour society according to liberal socialist dreams.
That's their goal.
That's why they love this, this language manipulation, all this nonsense.
They want to be able to detach from any concrete set of rules so they can change the rules all the time
to get your money, to get your education, to get your healthcare.
This is what they do.
This is all they do this is all they do you can always be
sure that anytime there's a concrete rule conservatives believe in god-given rights
the right to defend yourself economic freedom health care freedom that the left will bend that
rule rights instituted by the family rights by god no no they believe rights are granted by the state
language to them is no different the meaning of language will not be interpreted by an objective
set of rules. It'll be interpreted by the left. The left will call interpret, interpretate it,
and say it means the same thing. So then they can say, here are the people who are woke and are with us that's their
term for people who are social justice where you're woke and here are the people who are not
and if you therefore used to use that for if you used to use the term they when referring to he or
she you are not in the woke crowd you are a racist discriminatory lunatic and you are not worthy of
our time now showing you and this is how this is exactly what they want to do.
Listen, Peggy Noonan does some decent work at the Wall Street Journal.
She's not, sometimes I think she engages in some unnecessarily out of touch sometimes commentary on Trump.
And by I mean out of touch, I just mean I don't think she's really really, I'm not suggesting, you know, we don't make mistakes, that the president doesn't make mistakes.
But Peggy Noonan's column is generally a pretty good one she has some really terrific i want you to listen to this evaluations today inner peace in the wall street journal ladies and gentlemen about exactly what
i'm telling you now about how the left is does not want a set of defining rules family values
a constitution god-given rights because they want to constantly interpret defining rules, family values, a constitution, God-given rights, because they
want to constantly interpret the rules to increase the power of the state to take away your freedom.
One of the ways they do this is identity politics. You will use these pronouns or you're a homophobic
transphobe. No, I'm just using these pronouns because I want to be able to communicate in a
common language. She has an astute observation in her column today about the difference between identity politics
now and charges of racism in the past i want to read this to you it's only about 30 seconds but
i promise you this is worth your time from peggy noonan's piece she says in the past whether you
were racist could be judged by your actions. You held ugly biases.
You said or did things that were definitionally discriminatory.
The bad news is that you were this way.
But the good news is that you could change.
You could widen your lens, let some love in, say, think or do better things.
You could improve.
So that's part one of this.
Part one of this, Noonan is saying, listen, in the past, if you were to call someone a racist or be defined as one, it was defined by your actions or your words.
Dropping the N-word on someone, engaging in discriminatory behavior at work or at school.
I mean, these were the kind of things that would define someone as a racist.
Actions and words.
She goes on.
She says, now the idea has taken hold that the charge of racism doesn't derive from thoughts and actions, from what people say and do, but from who they are.
If you are white, that accident of birth left you racist.
And there's nothing you can do about it.
You've got white privilege.
You are unconsciously favored and unconsciously assigned disfavored. birth left you racist and there's nothing you can do about it you've got white privilege you
are unconsciously favored and unconsciously assigned disfavored either way you're guilty
no action or word can turn this around
ladies and gentlemen that's devastating and you know what whether you love or hate her commentary
again i like like some of her
commentary, even though she goes after the president sometimes, I think unnecessarily.
That's a powerful statement. And the reason the left does not want your thoughts and actions to
define you as a racist, but your natural state of being, you being a man, you being white,
you being an owner of property, you being wealthy, that by definition is going to become racist in
the future. The reason they want that is because you can't change it. There's no way to argue
yourself out of that bubble. The left can define you as the non-woke crowd. Listen, we're doing
some high level political strategy yesterday
today yesterday and today but i'm telling you i've been studying these idiots for a long time
they want to define you by who you are not what you do so there's no way you can escape that label
and it fits into their electoral strategy of we can't get you to vote for us because our policies
are so awful high taxes we're going to control your health care, control your kids. They can't get you to vote for them, but they can get you to vote against
those people. And by those people, it's who they define as those people, the white male patriarchy,
black conservatives, women who are conservatives, anybody who's not them, Democrats who don't play
the identity politics game. And you can't escape because you are racist by categories you cannot change.
You are not racist by your thoughts or actions.
You are racist by who you are,
and they tell you who you are.
This is devastating.
Devastating stuff, ladies and gentlemen.
And her words should pierce you.
This is why they're doing what they're doing.
All right, quickly, I just want to play this Kamala Harris audio from yesterday.
Now, tripling down on the if you like your plan, you could keep your plan nonsense.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Democrats will just not let this go. You cannot keep your plan under either Obamacare
as a universal rule or under Medicare for all. Stop repeating this lie. Here's Kamala Harris,
again, who supports government take a government take over the health care system.
For the third time, Obama, Bideniden now her repeating the lie if you like
your plan you can keep your plan the vast majority of doctors will be in that system and you can keep
your doctor under that system and it will be that when you walk into that hospital when you walk
into the doctor's office you don't have to fill out all those forms and give your credit card
you just give your your your medicare card there, folks. The third time tripling down on the lie, the fallacy, the myth that government run health care will allow you to keep your doctor in your plant.
Folks, even a Democrat, John Delaney, who I ran against for his congressional seat, who is now running for president, the, has already acknowledged that this is not true.
Even the Democrats on the debate stage,
some of them have acknowledged this.
The government-run healthcare plan
Kamala Harris is proposing involves 40%.
That's 40% cuts in the already low rates
that the government provides
to hospitals and doctors for patient care.
Folks, Delaney brought it up on stage
that surveys of hospitals and doctors for patient care. Folks, Delaney brought it up on stage that surveys of hospitals and doctors have already said
that at that Medicare for All reimbursement rate,
overwhelming numbers of these doctors and hospitals
will go out of business.
You cannot keep your plan.
This has been debunked repeatedly.
You will not be able to keep your hospital,
your doctor as a universal rule.
This is a lie.
Harris is lying to you she's
repeatedly lied about her own positions and flip-flopped on everything this is nonsense why
they keep doubling and tripling down on this is just outrageous i mean the political stupidity
of this is insane all right um moving on a lot to to go to get through today.
Folks, you have an ability to fight back.
You know, I know sometimes this fight is frustrating.
We brought up before how AOC can't seem to keep her own rules straight.
That's violent rhetoric.
You're responsible.
AOC, that guy actually used your rhetoric in a terror attack.
Oh, I'm sorry. i didn't mean that bernie sanders let's fight for 15 bernie your campaign team
wants 15 now i don't want that not on my campaign team they're frauds they're complete phony the
media promoting for months the debunked conspiracy theory about Trump and colluding with Russia
and now yet
the hard evidence
has developed
that there's a very serious
allegation about
Ilhan Omar fraud
and the media
completely ignored
because they're not media
it's a joke
these are conspiracy theorists
blog sites
full of complete lunatics
right
I know it gets frustrating
at times
I know
and sometimes I know
it seems like the bad news
but on Friday
this Friday
I want to leave you
with some decent news. Folks, we are making significant strides in
this battle against the left. We are. Let me give you a couple examples. And I wanted to start this
off by saying you have power. You know, Ginny Thomas once told me, she said, you know, we are the leaders we've been waiting for.
And I never want you to forget that.
We are the leaders we've been waiting for.
The one thing about conservatives and libertarians and good Republicans is our allegiance to big R God-given rights lets us know that there's a second creation after this.
This isn't it.
to big R God-given rights lets us know that there's a second creation after this.
This isn't it.
That even if we lose these fights temporarily here,
that we're fighting for a cause
that is right and righteous.
And that that's our mission.
That's what we're here to do.
I don't mean to wax philosophic here,
but listen, here's the deal.
You were put here to fight.
Whether you win or not
is an outcome you can't determine.
All you can do is give your best effort,
leave that on the field,
and knowing one day
you will be reporting to your creator the results of your work.
You are here to fight for a righteous cause. You have power in this, folks. We are the leaders
we've been waiting for. Here's a couple examples. So Colin Kaepernick and Nike, which, you know,
I have Nike clothes now. I'm not going to lie to you.
I don't want to burn them or throw them out.
It seems like, you know, a waste.
I will never buy Nike products again, ever.
It's just they've lost me completely as a company.
They've gone full social justice warrior.
You know the story about Nike.
They were going to put out these Betsy Ross flag themed shoes and that social justice warrior fraud, phony fake colin kaepernick complained
so nike pulled the shoes folks i'm proud to report you'll see the story up at newsbusters today
on our show notes up on gino.com proud to report that rush limbaugh and he was on fox news this
morning who is selling these uh brett c ross shirts and donating the proceeds to uh tunnel
for tower tunnel the towers the charity that helps out police officers families and military Betsy Ross shirts and donating the proceeds to Tunnel for Tower, Tunnel to Towers, the
charity that helps out police officers, families and military fallen police officers.
Rush Limbaugh's, the charity effort there with the Betsy Ross flag has sold 100,000
t-shirts and Limbaugh's team made a million dollar donation to Tunnel to Towers.
And Limbaugh's team made a million dollar donation to Tunnel to Towers.
Folks, we have the power to give the double-barreled middle finger to these leftist lunatics, and we do it every day.
Do not feel helpless or powerless here.
You are not.
Unlike these liberals who don't believe in anything.
They don't.
I just entirely discredited these lunatics.
Words of violence, not in our case.
Minimum wage, not in my case. Healthcare for all not for me they're frauds we actually believe in something our allegiance to
a set of values is objective not subjective it's not changeable the ability to defend yourself
the ability to the right the god-given right to self-protection the god-given right to economic
freedom health care freedom life liberty the practice of religion, freedom to assemble, petition.
These are things we believe in objectively.
We don't need and we are not asking for the left's permission.
Make no mistake.
We are not asking.
We take it because it is an objective value granted to us by God, not by you.
We are not asking.
You are not asking you are not powerless what a way to flip the double-barreled middle
finger to these lunatics at nike and this fake social justice were kaepernick he sold a hundred
thousand t-shirts that'll now go that revenue that would have went to Nike, that have now gone to
tunnel the towers to support
fallen police officers and military
families. God
bless you. That is you.
That's you who did that.
Because you
have power.
You have economic power.
You have a voice. You're an activist community at heart
it believes in big r god-given rights we're not asking
second story netflix which thought it would be a great idea, the liberal activists at Netflix,
they thought it would be a wonderful idea to claim they were going to boycott
two of the southern states that enacted pro-life legislation.
Because, of course, if we're not terminating the life of infants in the womb,
Netflix isn't happy.
So Netflix, oh, we're thinking about a boycott of these southern states,
Georgia and elsewhere
you know where were they enacted pro-life legislation god forbid we support life in the womb
ladies and gentlemen Netflix was expected to gain and this story's in the show notes today
the Daily Signal was expected to gain 352,000 new subscribers in this last reporting period. Did Netflix gain 352,000 new subscribers?
No, they did not.
Netflix lost 126,000 subscribers,
a difference of over 400,000 from estimates.
Folks, that's a staggering number.
Now, is that all due to Netflix's position
as a pro-abortion crowd?
Is that due to them crapping on the pro-life audience?
I don't know.
All I can tell you is the numbers are the numbers,
and maybe Netflix will learn from Dick's Sporting Goods
and others that maybe crapping all over conservatives
all the time probably isn't the best business proposition
to take.
You may want to think that through, Netflix.
They went from a positive 352,000 estimate
to negative 126,000.
Good luck with that.
Final story of the day.
So Chris Pratt, he's an actor.
He is Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy. So Chris Pratt, he's an actor. He is a star Lord and guardians of the
galaxy. You probably seen him around. Chris Pratt, uh, was out with his new wife and had a shirt on
with the Gadsden flag, you know, the do not tread on, uh, don't tread on me flag. And of course the
liberal social justice warrior, phony fraud, fake phony fraud, hypocrite, delirious,
you know, basement dwelling,
marshmallow roasting,
s'mores, constantly offended,
seeking for victimhood status left.
Jumped all over Chris Pratt
because that Gadsden flag,
which is a symbol of our history,
the American Revolution for Freedom,
jumped all over that.
And of course, any symbol,
the Betsy Ross
flag, the Gadsden flag, or anything is going to be associated with racism on the left because,
again, they reinterpret the rules all the time because they're phonies because they don't have
rules and they want to put you as a non-woke crowd, accused Chris Pratt of being a racist
and every other disgusting name in the book. So what happened? So the maker of the shirt,
Nine Line Apparel, which does a great job nine line
apparel has now seen exploding sales of what that gadsden flag i'm gonna look around i think i have
a gadsden flag shirt and i'll be sure to wear one now just to piss off the conservative left oh you
shouldn't be doing that no it makes me feel good now because I know it drives you crazy. A revolution for
freedom and liberty. I know that kind of stuff drives you nuts. I'll be hunting around looking
for that. All right, folks, sorry about the technical meltdown today. We had a really nasty
storm down here in Florida. We were trying to get the show up on video. I'll tell you what,
if I can fix it,
I'll try to put out a separate video show later, youtube.com slash Bongino. I know my wife's
probably not crazy about the idea. If I can, I'm not even sure we had such a meltdown, but I hope
