Joseph, it's Friday. It's Friday. I'm trying to alter my water drinking habits and not cause another faux controversy I made up yesterday and get you upset. It does kind of look weird, man. I never even thought of that before. You got to stir the pot. You got to shit stir the pot. I got to shit stir the pot. He's like, hates this story about my faux water. Joe's like, I'm just going to add

some water to that. I'm going to add, there you go. I'm not going to throw water. I'm going to add some gasoline to that fire. Folks, listen, we're starting to win some stuff, okay? This is not, I'm hesitant to even talk about this because if I talk about this, I'm afraid the perception will be like, oh, we're winning, not winning some stuff because those aren't the same things, okay? Winning some stuff doesn't mean we're winning. We're still way down in the culture war we are. They have been doing this for decades. We just got savvy to it. But between Disney, Target, and what's happening right now at these universities is, you know what,

can you put that pen donor up first? I'm sorry. It's like the last thing we were going to talk about the Axios story. I just want to show you what I mean. So you've got a bunch of crazy lunatics who've been discriminating against conservatives for years. And just want to show you what I mean. So you've got a bunch of crazy lunatics who've been discriminating against conservatives for years. And just to be clear on my position, because chatsters, I need you to be with me on this and understand I am not for censorship. I don't care about Penn or Harvard, who they hire. I care about what they say and responding to it. I don't want to censor them. I do not want my position in any way mischaracterized. The government should not be involved. If you are not breaking the law with your speech, say whatever

you want. Okay. I'm going to challenge it and say what I want. I'm not here to police them. I'm simply telling you, they said some dumb shit. Oh, we respect free speech on university campuses. Everybody in the chat knows is bullshit. They'll kick a conservative off campus from wearing a freaking MAGA hat in a minute. Don't lie to us. I'm going to call you out. The Harvard lady and the UPenn lady, McGill and president gay at Harvard are about five minutes from losing their

jobs. Not my call. And why she had to come out with another apology. Again, president gave from Harvard, about the ridiculous testimony where they couldn't call out genocide without context. She said, quote, words matter, folks. Words matter in our policy. Oh, now words matter. Now words matter. Words didn't matter before. Words only matter if they were misused pronouns.

You didn't call him Zizhao Zhou. You're fired. But if you got on campus and said, from the river to the sea, it was A-OK. I'm going to do a little test here. By the way, look at this. I told Guy to pull it up. Axios, UPenn, another one of these,

Liz McGill, the president, who's hanging on for dear life for a job after that dreadful testimony, loses a hundred million dollar donation. So it's a little bit of money, right? Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you something. I don't care how rich you are. A hundred million dollars is a ton of money. That's going to wake up a board right quick. If I can steal expression from the South, because you know I love you, Donnie. Money matters. Can I do a little intellectual test? I'm going to play a little

trick on you guys. Guy, jump in on this one for a minute, because you're not, I'm not going to tell you. So if words matter, and it's okay on these campuses or were, to call for from the river to the sea, which we all agree is the Jordan River in the Mediterranean Sea, which, Guy, you're familiar with the area. Have you been there, by the way? You've been to Israel? I have. I've been to Israel as well. That's all of Israel, correct? So you're calling to wipe out Israel. Let me do a test. If President Gay is correct in that, specifically the Jews, because that's where they live in Israel. A lot of Jews in Israel. Joe, would you agree? Can you fact check that? A big part of it, Jews, right? Joe, would you agree? Can you fact check that?

A big part of it. A big part of it, Jews, right? Yeah, okay. So let's do a little test. These guys don't know what I'm doing. I didn't plan this with them. So are you allowed to go on a college campus and say you're a white supremacist? Because they exist.

We can't deny there are racist assholes out there. Say you're a legit white supremacist. You think black people are inferior. Pretty filthy piece of shit, but they exist exist so let's do a little test here so penn and them they're like yeah river to the sea you can say that no big deal can you walk on a campus as a white supremacist and put say a maga hat on and say from upper manhattan roughly 110th Street to 127th Street? Oh, hell no. Nadia's got a comment on that one.

Anyone know where I'm going with this? Anyone in the chat? Joe, you know where I'm going with this? I know where you're going with this. What am I talking about? You know where that is? That's Harlem. Could you do that if you were a white supremacist?

I'm just, I'm curious. You see how when you're a racist asshole, like these people running these universities who are total bigots and just hate the Jews? Oh, that's okay. Oh, some of you are picking this up in the chat. Yeah, of course you would be. Immediately you'd be arrested.

The FBI would have a case open against you. Some of you are picking this up in the chat. Yeah, of course you would be. Immediately you'd be arrested. The FBI would have a case open against you. Ask your liberal friends that, who support from the river to the sea. I'm not against, I love free speech. I'm not for censorship. I'm for intellectual honesty. Oh, so from the river to the sea is okay.

Is from 112th Street to 137th okay in Upper Manhattan? Oh, no, that's right. Okay. Oh, that's interesting. Interesting. You know what? That's a good point. He brings up a good point. What if the Jews moved from 112th to 137th? Is it okay then? Now they're like, holy shit. Now it's confusing. They're like, now I don't know what to do. You see how these little intellectual games screw these people up everywhere? All right, maybe a little more now, but I got a whole bunch I got to get through. So Hunter Biden got indicted yesterday.

There's a lot of good news and bad news. I'm just going to cover this without a ton of emotion because you need to know about it. And whenever I get into it, there's people on both sides. There's people on our side that get a little overexcited. And then there's people who are like, screw it, man. I want to see handcuffs. Okay. I'm just going to cover this like a law enforcement guy because it's super important. Let's cover the bad side of this first. So nine charges dropped on Hunter Biden yesterday from special counsel David Weiss. Listen, it's what's missing that's important, but I'm going to tell you folks, please in the chat, just, I promise you this. I was a federal agent. I'm not going to lie to you. Who cares? It doesn't matter.

But I know what was missing. I'm going to get to the bad stuff. What was in there though was serious. I've read probably five, 600 indictments, there though was serious. I've read probably five, 600 indictments, informations, and complaints. What's in there is serious. What's in there is not a joke. The indictment's pretty damning. I read it. There's a lot missing because they're protecting Obama. And I want you to listen to Catherine Harrod. She's one of the few honest reporters left. She did a great job. She read through the whole indictment. The tax stuff in there is serious. But what's not in there is the Foreign Agent Registration Act stuff. Now, why is that important that that was largely left out of the indictment? What was it?

It was left out. It's important because that's the stuff that's going to nail Joe Biden and Barack Obama. I need you to understand this. The minute David Weiss charges Hunter Biden, you following me? We're taking money from Ukraine and China where Joe Biden was the point man on Ukraine as Obama's vice president, who is immediately roped in as a witness. Yes, sir. Thank you very much, Joe Biden and one Barack Obama. What did you know about your vice president's business in Ukraine? So the good news is the charges are serious. The bad news, they're still covering for Biden and Obama.

Catherine Herridge, though, read through the indictment like I did, and there is a window in there. Is David Weiss going to take it to run with the Foreign Agent Registration Act violations, FARA, where Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and Barack Obama are going to be screwed? I don't think so. Herridge is a little more optimistic. I'm here to give you the facts. I'll give you both sides. She's a brilliant reporter. Listen to her.

Now, you mentioned there could be more charges. What makes you think that? It's just my reading of the document in the first page. I think the language is that they describe him as a lobbyist. Lobbyists have to register under what's called FARA, the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which is a government way of saying that if you're working on behalf of foreign interests, you have to tell the U.S. government. In this case, the indictment spends a lot of time talking about Hunter Biden's business

deals with the Ukraine energy firm Burisma. I'm talking about Hunter Biden's business deals with the Ukraine energy firm Burisma. It also talks about his work with a Chinese energy firm, CEFC. And it also talks about his work with Romania. And that, to me, seems to leave the door open to potential fear of violations. really hard for David Weiss to ignore the obvious moving forward that you've put in a legal freaking court filing that Hunter Biden got money from Ukraine and China because the obvious question is going to be what the hell was the money for you get it this is going to be a big issue. And I would expect that any Republican Justice Department that does this fairly, by the way, not political. You had a vice president of the United States who it now appears quite obvious may have been a foreign agent for Ukraine. I don't mean, again, 007.

I mean, an agent like the Economic Center was working on behalf of a foreign government. Folks, that's a huge freaking story. It's now in the indictment. They just didn't charge it. Here, the indictment. So good side, bad side. Again, good news. These charges are serious.

Bad news. They're still dancing and pussyfooting around this Farrah charge because they don't want to lock Obama and Biden into it. Joe Biden. It's so obvious what's going on. They're trying to hide Obama. They don't give a shit about Joe Biden. Here, read the indictment yourself. This shit is damning.

2020, the defendant, Hunter Biden, spent this money on drugs, escorts, girlfriends, luxury hotels, rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature. Here, listen to this ringer at the end. In short, he spent it on everything but his taxes. Listen, on the tax stuff, read the indictment yourself. It's now official. They can't run away from it. He's going to get a judge or a jury in a case. And if he don't get a bunch of Biden voters, this guy's screwed, man. He's screwed. They're still protecting Joe. Let's not get excited here.

But this is freaking devastating. They've even got a spreadsheet. This guy took $1.6 million out of an ATM. How the hell do you do that? But bro, right? Folks, listen, I don't talk about a lot because I don't really care. And it's so he sounds dopey, but we do. Okay.

Like, you know, show generates some good revenue and stuff. Who the takes a 1.6 million out of it? It's, alright, can't, which maybe he took it from the bank, too, cash for sure. How do you take that kind of money out of it? I don't think I've taken 1.6 million dollars out of the bank myself. How do you? I don't know.

A briefcase? Here, here, this is my favorite, folks. Number two, if you ain't watching this live, you're making a big mistake. Payments, $683,000. Joe, what does that say? I can't read that. What are the payments to?

It says, gee, can you help us? Payment. No. Wait, again? No, it doesn't say that. Oh, it does say that. $683,000 keynotes, it says, to various women. Really?

Various women? Was it Taylor Swift? Was he paying for tickets at a concert? Joe, what kind of women do you think he was paying? Oh, yeah. They were very nice. They were nice girls. They were lovely.

Joe, you played drums in church. Probably don't see those ladies in the church, do you? I don't think so. Yeah, I've never run into them either. Yeah. Payments to various women. $397,000 on clothing and accessories. What kind of accessories was he buying?

Vacheron, Constantine, Tourbillon watches? What the hell was he buying? Ohacheron, Constantine, Torbjörn watches? What the hell was he buying? Oh, I love this one. $300,000 for tuition and education. What kind of tuition was that? Here is a shop class on how to mold a crack pipe. What exactly was it? Oh, he highlights his gem. $237,000 for health, beauty, and pharmacy. What the, what were you buying bro? Collagen supplements? What was in that? Sprinkled gold dust? Diamond nuggets? What the, what is that? Vitamin C? What are you? IV treatments? What the hell? $237,000? Holy moly. Oh, wait, wait, dude. I'm going to pick out one more. Where do you think I'm going next? Yes, of course. Of course. Listen to this one, folks. Adult entertainment, $188,000. Joe, what do you think he was talking about? Baseball games and

stuff? Probably hockey, stuff like that. Yeah, yeah. Hockey games and things like that. Oh, they were hockey games. Make sure that doesn't go in the net, if you know what I mean. $188,000. I love the thing. So I'll say again on this thing. Folks, it's a serious indictment on the tax stuff, okay? There's no doubt about it.

However, they are absolutely 100% hiding Biden right now and Obama because they won't charge the obvious, which is a freaking Farrah charge. This guy is a sociopath. He is an absolute sociopath. And I got receipts and coming on that too. I got a lot more to get to though here, man, because I'm really digging this show today. I put this together last night. Listen, I'm going to get back to Biden in a minute. I didn't even intend to start like this, but this thing was so hilarious to read. Adult entertainment, 188. What is that? The Playboy channel? Bro, what the hell are you doing? One more. I'm sorry. I can't get off this. Joe, did you notice the adult entertainment is separate from the various women?

Because you're probably like, oh, adult entertainment, he's renting hookers. No, that's the $680,000 for hookers. He's got more. So what was he doing? He's like got a hooker in the room and he's doing his thing and then the hooker leaves and he's renting the Playboy channel. How horny is this guy?

Bro, get control of your hormones, bro. Get some testosterone suppressors. Very, very horny is this guy? Bro, get control of your hormones, bro. Get some testosterone suppressors. Very, very horny. Holy Moses. This guy, right? Calm down. What is he, walking around with gallons of Viagra mainlined into his veins? Chill, bro.

I mean, I like date night with Paula too, but relax. Holy Moses. $188,000 for adult entertainment. After the various women. Oh, very. I can tell you stories, man. Let me tell you. Some of the people who've told me some stuff.

Totally crazy. All right. I'm going to take a quick break here, but don't go anywhere. I know we laugh, but that's serious stuff. I mean, I'm not kidding. I mean, we can laugh about all we want, but that is deadly serious. This guy's in a lot of trouble with the tax stuff. He's going to have a lot to do. And by the way, Biden's finished too. But I got a video coming up next that I don't want to scare you on a Friday. Joe, you saw it, right? But if this thing don't freak you out a little bit on my AI topic, then you're listening to the wrong show.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's a great one, man. I only have about a minute and 30 of it too. It gets worse. Hey, you tired of scrolling through TV shows finding nothing but the same mind-numbing content? I am. A bunch of liberal content. It doesn't even resonate with most of you. Don't waste your time with the nonsense. Instead, use that time to learn something new and inspiring.

I'm doing my little show prep yesterday and I didn't have to do a lot of work because we had so much stuff from the day before. So I honestly wasn't going to send a lot of stuff to these guys, but I still have to make

sure, you know, news breaks, the Hunter Biden stuff happened. I'm scrolling through and I see this video and I think it's a parody of AI. It's not. It turns out this is real. Yesterday was a huge day for artificial intelligence. By huge, I don't mean good. I just mean there was a ton of news. So Google, which I believe is probably the most evil company in America right now, Google has an AI product, which I don't know about you guys, but I find the idea of that frightening enough. I don't even have to show you the video. The AI product is called Gemini. They launched a video on Gemini yesterday. Now, let me just be clear. Some of the detractors from Google are saying that these are screenshots that are edited, that it's not exactly how it went

down. Fair enough. It's still frightening to me, but I'm always here to give you both sides. This is a little tutoring session. It's about a minute and 30. This video goes on for like seven minutes. It's about a minute and 30 of a quick tutoring session this guy does with Gemini, this artificial intelligence. It's about a blue duck. And I want you to keep in mind that this AI that's trying to process what this blue duck is, is just pulling this from an algorithm, pulling its inputs from the internet. just pulling this from an algorithm, pulling its inputs from the internet.

So as you're watching this about the blue duck, I want you to keep something in mind. If it has a pretty easy time figuring out what a blue duck can and can't do, what about a white male if it's reading a bunch of critical race theory stuff about the disease of the white male patriarchy. I bet nobody thought that as they're watching this video. But you should. Check this out. Alright, testing Gemini. Here we go. Tell me what you see. I see you placing a piece of paper on the table. I see a squiggly line. What about now? The contour lines are smooth and flowing, with no sharp angles or jagged edges.

It looks like a bird to me. Hmm, what if I add this? The bird is swimming in the water. It has a long neck and beak. It is a duck. Yes. A duck is a type of waterfowl in the family Anatidae. Ducks are closely related to geese and swans. The duck appears to be blue. This is not a common color for ducks.

However, there are some breeds of blue ducks. These are typically not as common as other duck breeds. It is more common for ducks to be brown, black or white. Are you sure? What the quack? I was just talking about a blue duck, and now you're holding one. It looks like blue ducks are more common than I thought. Would this float?

I'm not sure what material it's made of, but it looks like it might be rubber or plastic. What if I tell you it's making a squeaking sound? Oh, if it's squeaking, it's definitely going to float. Hm, nice. What? No, Geet, it's definitely going to float. Hmm, nice. What? No, I never have it. He's always one of them having a Mitch moment. No, no.

Folks, chatsters, I need you right now. Seriously, am I overreacting by that producing a substantial amount of anxiety in me? That in a matter of, well, how long is that video, Joe? Minute 30? Was it minute 20? That in a minute, 20 seconds and intelligence basically can figure out that quickly about blue rubber ducks. And I want you to again, think about that. It's only pulling that information from the internet. It's not pulling it from the ether. It's not pulling it from another dimension. So if the internet's polluted with information about, again, how human beings are going to destroy the universe and the white, evil male patriarchy is a cancer on humankind, how long before AI figures out you were the problem?

It took a minute, 20 seconds to figure out how plastic blue ducks work. Even knew it was plastic. It even knew it was plastic. It even knew it was plastic. It even understood the sound. Folks, that's some scary shit, man. And then I wake up this morning, and this is in the New York Times for as crazy as they are. The morning, the race to dominate AI.

It's an article about how all of these companies, whether it be Apple or Google, even McDonald's is using AI right now. That they're racing to an end and nobody knows where the end is. Oh, it's at the bottom of the end of that mountain when you run off the cliff. No, but they're running blindfolded. You understand that? They're running blindfolded. And the best they can do to say, hey, this is no big deal, is they'll tell you something like, oh, it's just an algorithm people wrote. Exactly. That's the problem.

Who the hell wrote the algorithm? Oh, a bunch of lefty lunatics? Folks, that video, man. Share that with your homies, man. Because that blue duck thing freaked me out. That's the first thing I thought. Blue is not a common color for ducks, but white is a common color for you cancerous patriarchs

who CRT says are destroying the earth. You're like, wait, what? That stuff is out there. That stuff's out there. It's another, you know what? I'm really hope, Joe said it's just another conspiracy theory, which is correct. On the left, they'll say that. However, that's one I really hope doesn't come true. I really hope that stays a conspiracy because we'll all be dead. All right. I got a lot more to get to here. I got to move on a little bit, but keep that video in your head every time you think about what AI can do and how these people don't seem to know where any of this is going to end. I haven't done this in a little while. And is it bad enough segment?

But this happened yesterday. This is funny because Joe sends me this clip, but I didn't look at it. So I actually had the clip as part of the show. And I'm like, oh, cool. Joe's got another one. It's the same clip. We must be thinking alike. So this is Los Angeles.

There's this business owner. He's on the street where all the businesses are getting broken into with these smash and grabs. They basically run vehicles that they steal. I mean, it's really, it's like Escape from New York, Snake Plissken, like apocalypse stuff. They steal cars in LA, all over the country, not just LA. They run them through storefronts. Nobody's concerned about the cops at all. They steal everything from the store and then they jet out with the stolen car. You're like, that sounds like the kind of thing from like an end of the world book of Eli movie. Yeah, exactly. Except it really is happening. But I want you to listen because

Joe brings up a good point. It's actually shocking. The local news left this in at the end, but the business owner, the business owner had something really interesting to say about politicians. And I ask you again, I'm going to take my poll. Get ready. Botchino, you there? Botchino, I need you now. We're going to take the is it bad enough again poll. I'm still saying no. Again, the question means is it bad enough for a mass sea change in politics? I think it's definitely bad enough that Trump's going to win, that people are fed up with Biden. Is it bad enough that there's going to be a 48-state landslide?

No. But, man, it's getting there. Watch this. His business now boarded up and Bagley is fed up with the break-ins and elected officials. I voted for Karen Bass. I voted for Biden. I voted for Gavin Newsom. I'm sick of it. It's like at some point you have to give me a reason to vote for you again. We'll just do our jobs, make a living, help our employees make a good living and move on. But it's really freaking

difficult to survive. I agree with Joe. I'm actually stunned the local news left that in. They edit these things substantially. That interview is probably 20 minutes long. They left that in. You know, I think they said this to Armacost before the show. I don't think they left it in because they're all of a sudden turned into Republicans. I think big city news stations are starting to figure out that people are pissed off and they at least as a business decision have to pretend, have to pretend for a bit that it's bad enough or else they'll look like they're out of touch.

That's the only reason I think they left that in. Is it bad of Pacino to be, is Pacino on the job? I need to, I don't, it's not bad enough yet for a sea change. And by the way, just for those of you who are skeptics out here, again, I'm long on America. Why? Because, folks, I'm only 49 years old, and I've been through two of these. The Reagan revolution, the guy won 49 states.

That's just in my lifetime. Don't act like it's like 500 years since we've had something like this happen. It does happen. It happens all the time. It happened for the Democrats too. The Obama, you know, race against McCain was pretty much a landslide. Not as much as Reagan, but it does happen. I don't think we're there yet though. We're not, and it's not bad enough. But with these economic numbers that came out today, believe me, we're getting there quick. You see these economic numbers, job openings down 800,000. It's getting ugly out there. All right. I got a video coming up next. Just going to take a quick break here. I got a video coming up next from one of these left-leaning guys, but he's a real

kind of cultural icon guy on the left. They love him. You know, Charlemagne, he goes by Charlemagne the God. I don't call anyone the God, but God. But Charlemagne, he was doing this show and people really love this guy. This is how you know, are things bad enough? I'm not sure, but are they getting there?

All right, back to the show. This is what I'm talking about. Are things bad enough? I'm not sure, but they're getting there. When you got a guy like Charlemagne, who a whole lot of people on the left follow, saying this on a pretty popular show, Joe Biden is in deep shit. Check this out.

The facts are Biden's not getting any younger. He's not going to get any more popular and he's not getting a new running mate. So please, Mr. President, give America the ultimate Christmas gift and step aside. Folks, these calls are going to get louder and louder. That's why I say, I get it, folks. I'm so with you. I never want to be that guy who appears out of touch with my audience because you matter to me more than anything. And I get it. As time goes on and you separate from me being an agent and a working class guy into a talking head, there's this tendency to grow distant from people. This is why I stay involved in the chat and on Facebook and elsewhere and talk to you because I don't want to be that guy.

I understand your frustration with the slow moving process of the non-existent justice system against the Bidens and that's targeting Trump. But I'm just asking you, don't lose patience, not with the justice system, they're finished, but with the constant attention on the Bidens. It is working. It is absolutely working. Trump is up in the polls. Biden is down.

Whatever we're doing is working. Is it working slow? Could it work faster? But it is working. Please don't give up on it. Please. I had a big Twitter thing about this this week. Biden is a straight up sociopath and a liar.

And he is in incredible danger right now. I mean, politically speaking, he is in a world of hurt. And they have, folks, they have no backup plan. Filing deadlines have already passed for a lot of these states. There is zero backup plan. Kamala Harris is not going to step aside. Gavin Newsom's doing no better in California. They have no backup plan at all. Obama doesn't want to be called on the carpet about Michelle Obama entering the race and their role in Biden's malfeasance. So Biden's resorted now to just straight up, I mean, straight up lying in your face. Jonathan Turley said it right. Remember Bill Clinton's, I did not have sexual relations with that woman, the Monica Lewinsky thing, which he could never live down for lying to America on camera. Joe Biden had that moment. Turley said, this is Joe Biden's I believe that you acted either illegally or unethically in regards to your family's business interests.

Can you explain to Americans who admit this impeachment inquiry why you interacted with so many of your son and brother's foreign business associates? I'm not going to comment on that. I did not. And it's just a bunch of lies. You didn't interact with many of their business lies. I did not. There's lies. Folks, the guy's full of shit. This can't continue. Even the hack goon media is going to have to acknowledge, and some have, just stay tuned, that there's no way to keep this story up. Here's the pictures. RNC Research.

Biden called it a bunch of lies. He interacted with Hunter's business associates. There's four photos right there of Joe Biden with the business associates. He's kindly scrolling through them right now. You can see them yourself. I did not have business relations with my son, Hunter. them yourself. I did not have business relations with my son, Hunter. There's the pictures, dipshit. They're right there. Who are those people? Oh, they're business partners. Oh, you didn't know who they were? You were a vice president and a senator. You just randomly showed up with your son's business partners on multiple occasions. Oh, Dan, that's just four. No, it isn't. Here's a tweet about other occasions where he interacted. We can go through all of them if you'd like.

November 20th, had a sit-down meeting with Eric Schwerin, the president of Hunter's Private Equity Firm. November 2011, met with Chris Hines, co-founder of Hunter's Private Equity Firm. March 2012, it goes on and on. Andre Pastrano, December 2013, February 2014. It keeps going, keeps scrolling. April 2014, June 2014. Gosh,

this is a lot of business meetings for a guy who says it's a bunch of lies. August 2014, that's it, right? Oh no, there's more. Wow. April 2015, November 2015, February 2016. Thank God that's the end. Oh, he's telling me that's, is that the end? No, I'm not even kidding. There's actually more. May 2016, September 2016. So May 2017, June 2018. Is that finally it? June 2018, Joe Biden texted Hunter saying he was with Jeff Cooper, a family business partner. Folks, these lies can't possibly continue. The media knows they got a problem, whether it's Charlemagne, who, yeah, he's a member of the media, maybe an opinion guy, and does some funny stuff in commentary, but he's a member of the media.

He comments on politics, so he's a member of the media. It's opinion media, but it's the media. Even CNN's having issues with this. This is not because CNN saw the light, and they're doing honest reporting. It has nothing to do with that. CNN doesn't give a shit about honesty. It's that they understand he's going to lose to Trump, and they got to get this guy out of the race.

Here, watch even CNN, Summit CNN. You're going to watch another guy in a minute try to defend them to show you these people are full of crap. But Summit CNN are realizing they've got a fatally wounded political candidate who needs to get out of the race. This story cannot possibly continue that he had no relations with his son business, which ridiculous. Check this out. Despite his denials, a CNN review of the laptop data, as well as other public material, shows that Joe Biden did interact

with some of his son's associates while serving as vice president, though it's unclear exactly what was discussed. One example, the Republican site, Miguel Aleman Magnani, a Mexican businessman and son of the former president who Hunter was trying to woo. In 2014, Aleman Magnani and his dad were photographed at the White House with then Vice President Biden. In a later email, Hunter Biden reminds Aleman McNally of the favors he's done for him. We have been talking about business deals and partnerships for seven years. I have brought every single person you have ever asked me to bring to the effing White House and the vice president's house and the inauguration. Hunter Biden bluntly acknowledged the power of the Biden name in a memoir, writing that the Ukrainian energy company Burisma,

which put him on its board, considered my last name gold. I don't think that there's a lot of things that would have happened in my life that if my last name wasn't Biden. Listen, this is important. No, CNN is not our friend. No, CNN hasn't decided to do journalism. CNN understands they have a wounded candidate they need to get out of the race. But I need you to understand this. There are liberals out there who I promise you are hearing this for the first time. I know it seems obvious to you, Dan, of course, we get it. Do you understand that large swaths of America who watch CNN have never heard that before? They've heard stuff like this. Here's another host who, thankfully, listen, I'm not a huge fan of this congressman.

He's a Republican, this guy Lawler. He's kind of a swampy guy. But I don't really care because I don't fall in love with politicians. I just respect outcomes. And this is a good outcome. And he did a good job. So it's all I really care about. Lawler goes on CNN and this guy's still trying to stick to this. Oh, this thing isn't really touching Joe Biden. It's all about Hunter thing. And he gets him to

admit, okay, he's probably lying here. This is, this is worth your time. It's short, but check this out. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. He said very clearly there was never any money that transferred from China to his family. Do you, based on the evidence and the information that has already come out, including bank records, including suspicious activity reports, was the president telling the truth when he said that? I think the answer to that is very clear, and I don't think I'm not disputing that. What is it? It is very clear that what the president has said has been unequivocal at times in the past. That has not borne out to be the case.

Outcomes, outcomes. You don't have to fall in love with Lawler. Who gives a shit? He did a good job. That was a great job. He got the guy to admit on the air to the 10 people who watch CNN, maybe 20, that Joe Biden is clearly lying. Here, more CNN. Why? Because this matters. This is why, tying this all together, this CNN clip here is the only reason they're acknowledging now that Joe Biden is full of shit because of this. Play this. If you take a look at Biden's

approval here, Dana, in our brand new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, he's at 37 percent approval, 63 percent disapproval as he's about to turn the corner into his reelection year. And look at this number over time. You noted it's a numeric low, but he's been hanging out down here for some time. Look here. He starts going down after the Afghanistan withdrawal. That really took a hit in his numbers in 2021. There was this uptick here in his approval around the time of the 2022 midterms last year where Democrats performed better. But basically, this entire year has been a downward slide now to this new numeric low of 37 percent. Does anybody know why I put this on outside of explaining why CNN wants Biden

out? There's a reason. Anyone in the chat, do you have any idea? It involves the last part of that video interview. Because I deal with, I get a lot of incoming, a lot, friends, foes, allies, people who have various positions on stuff. And one of the emails that honestly annoys me the most, but I don't have any problem with you sending it. I love to hear from you. Again, I don't want to ever be detached from you, even if you disagree with me. But one that irritates me the most is nothing's happening. No, something is happening. It's not enough. It's not even close to enough. It's slow as shit. And the DOJ is never going to help us. But ladies and gentlemen, something's happening. I don't know if you caught where I was going with that, but he points to the end of that graph and how Joe Biden's been going down.

He doesn't mention that's when they started the serious investigation when they took over the house with Comer of Hunter Biden. Something is happening. Joe Biden's reputation that he destroyed, not us, is becoming public through us just highlighting what he already did. not us, is becoming public through us just highlighting what he already did. So something is happening. I'm totally with you. It's not fast enough. And yes, none of this is fair. But please, on the gas pedal, man, not on the brake. Why? Because folks, this stuff, this is what's going to do the real damage. What's hitting people in the wallet, in addition to the Hunter Biden stuff, and in addition to the border, is going to be the three musketeers of electoral disaster for Joe Biden. Remember what I just said, 100%.

The corruption, the Biden family corruption, the border, and your wallet is going to destroy this guy. If nothing big changes from now till next year, and that's a big statement, I get that, Donald Trump will win the election by two or three points. Maybe more. Maybe more. Joe Biden has no chance of winning on the status quo. Here's what I mean.

I want you to watch this. This is the kind of stuff people see every day. Folks, wallets matter. Here's Bidenomics striking again. Your entire nest egg is your 401k, right? Your 401k is how you're going to retire and live your life. How do you feel? These are all brief clips, but how do you feel when you hear this on cable news? Check this out. A new op-ed lays out one of the reasons Americans don't like Bidenomics. The bite it's taken out of our retirement savings. 401k is down nearly 25%. Pension plans have lost 12%. Folks, this is people's freaking retirement, man. How does that make you feel? Joe, you're a little older than me. You don't want to work forever, correct? I mean, I know Joe loves a job, but you don't want to work till he's 95.

How does that make you feel? You're down. You understand how compound interest works? When you're building interest each year on a nest egg, the nest egg winds up growing. Liberals are confused right now. When you're losing money every year, you have to actually get, here's your baseline. You invest at a hundred dollars. If you make 7% every year, you have to actually get, here's your baseline, you invested $100. If you make 7% a year, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. If you lose 24%, you're starting with like $70. You still have to get back to what you invested. You get where I'm going with this? Maybe I'm not explaining it well. Here's my buddy EJ Antoni from the Heritage Foundation. He was on cable explaining exactly well. Here's my buddy EJ Antony from the Heritage Foundation.

He was on cable explaining exactly this. You listen to this segment. It's not long. You are going to have to work right now. 10 extra years. 10 extra years thanks to Bidenomics. Take a listen. The average 401k has lost about a quarter of its value. So if you're looking at the typical retiree or the typical would-be retiree who was on the verge of retirement when Biden took office, he or she has lost so much value, they will have to work about another decade in order to recoup those losses. Folks, who the hell has another decade to work, man? Folks, who the hell has another decade to work, man? What's life expectancy in the United States?

80, I don't know, COVID screwed up everything. 80 years old. I mean, a guy like me with the cancer shit, what's my life expectancy realistically? 70, 75? So I'm 49. So knock on wood, I got maybe 20 years left. I like my job. It's not really a job, so I'm probably a bad example. But if I was an agent where it's really hard work,

stand and pose, humping around the world to protect the president in danger zones, getting sick all the time, you want to work till you're 70? Don't you want to enjoy your grandkids, maybe travel, see the world a little bit? That's real. And Tony's not a hyper political guy either. He's an economist. You have to work 10 extra years, dude. That's because of this guy. And the tragically hilarious thing about this whole thing is he's actually

running on this. By nomics, bro. There's by nomics for you right there. Let me get you ready for something too. Pull that Wall Street Journal article. Hold on. I'm very self-conscious.

I like your report. Was it good? Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. I want to get you ready for something because the libs are preparing to F you over like you have no idea.

Folks, Joe, this is an important flag, like a really important one. It is December 8th, right? Yeah, of course, because yesterday was December 7th. It is 1147, thank you, and 50 seconds Eastern time. Underline this. Jim, flag it already, even though the radio show hasn't started yet. If Joe Biden wins his second term, I'm promising you right now, you have my word, that one of the first things

they're going to push for is a wealth tax. Well, why should I care about that? I don't have a lot of wealth. Oh, no, you do. If you're a middle class American, I promise you have assets, i.e. wealth. No, I don't, Dan. I mean, I own a car and I have a mortgage on the house. Really? You know what wealth is? Wealth is equity. It is. Oh, we got a lot of flags. That's a lot of flags. I'm glad you chatsters are with Joe. Keep it Joe Frosty. That's a lot of red flags. A wealth tax is coming. And if you in this chat think, well, I'm lower income or middle class, it's not going to affect me. You are absolutely wrong. It will 100% affect you. Say you bought your home 10 years ago for 250K,

pretty reasonable home in America, right? 10 years ago, not now, but 10 years ago. reasonable home in America, right? 10 years ago, not now, but 10 years ago and say it appreciated and it's worth 350,000 now. You have a hundred thousand in equity. No, I don't have anything, Dan. I didn't sell my house. Bullshit. The Biden administration is saying you do, but Dan, I didn't sell my house. Does it matter? They are coming for your money. matter. They are coming for your money. They are ready to declare unrealized gains, i.e. assets you have but hasn't sold as income. No, they're not. Pull up the article, dude. The wealth tax you may already owe. I've only told you about this Moore versus the United States case probably 10 times. If we lose this case in the Supreme Court and Biden wins, you are 100% going to see a push for a wealth tax that is going to F you over like you've never seen.

Here's what the Supreme Court is saying. They're saying that if income for the purposes of the 16th Amendment doesn't require realization, i.e. you don't sell your house and take the money, neither does income for the purposes of the current tax code. And if the government, but the Biden administration, which is arguing that income means any, listen, listen, Biden's team is arguing, this is important. I know the economics, but please, the government's arguing that income means any economic gain between two points in time without regard to whether the gain is realized, then you should have been paying taxes

on the appreciation of your home and investments since the Incomes Act started in 1913. You think this is a scare tactic? They're arguing this in the Supreme Court right now. They are arguing for a wealth tax. Elizabeth Warren is pushing for it right now. Oh, I don't own a house, Dan. Really? You own baseball cards? Baseball cards? That's not wealth. Really? Have they appreciated in value? You know, it's hilarious that people think I've gotten a few emails from conservatives who think I'm overhyping this. The same people I warn, the government spying on Donald Trump when he was a candidate for president in 2016 who told me I was crazy, are the same people now telling me the government will never do that. They won't tax my art collection. Oh yeah, baby. Oh, they will.

Oh, you're damn right they will. How easy is it going to be to audit you and find out that you bought a Thurman Munson rookie card on eBay two years ago when they're looking for money because they're in a massive debt crisis because interest on the debt is through the roof. You think that's not going to happen? They're already doing it with Venmo stuff. You think this isn't good? He just said it. You have to report eBay sales. Wait till they institute a central bank digital currency. Folks, this is all coming if we lose this second term. You'll get nothing and like it.

You will. You're damn right. What's that? Smalls, right? What's that? The Smalls exhortation from Michael Anton? We haven't used that in a while. Judge Smales.

The Smales exhortation. You'll get nothing and you'll that in a while. Judge Smales, the Smales exhortation. You'll get nothing and you'll like it. And you know what else is coming? Environmental tyranny. If we lose, not only is a wealth tax coming, that is going to, to you, environmental tyranny like you've never seen. You are going to be forced to buy an electric car.

I'm running out of time, but I got to get this in. This is a guy, I know. mental tyranny like you've never seen. You are going to be forced to buy an electric car. I'm running out of time, but I got to get this in. This is a guy, I know we've used this clip before, but do you folks just in the chat quick, you know why they want you in an electric car? Any idea? Sir, Joe, right now you're in a car, you go to a gas station. Nobody knows anything. You're paying cash. Wouldn't it be nice? You're having an electric issue. Well, we're just going to shut down electric. Matter of fact, we don't want you guys. We're going to put you on a carbon passport. Guy, you're commuting too far to Dan Bongino's studio. We're going to put you on a carbon passport. And we realize you've been filling up your car at night via electric because we have a home monitor. It's too much. We're going to shut you down. That's not going to happen. Really? Listen to Yuval Harari. He's one of these

globalists all the lefties love. Listen to him describe how all this COVID stuff and great reset stuff is all interrelated. And I'm going to play another clip. I'm going to show you. You think I'm crazy? You're crazy thinking I'm crazy. Check this out. It's not an extremely deadly virus. It's not the Black Death. And look what it's doing to the world. So now just try to think what will be the implications of a much bigger problem like climate change also conceptually it shows that um and here i completely agree with you ratgo that it shows you, you can stop all flights. You can

lock down entire countries. You can actually do that and life goes on in some way. And this, I would say, may make us more open to radical ideas

about how to deal also with climate change. You know what? That clip is even better than I thought. Guy, did this not happen? I said, Guy, can you pull for me the Yuval Harari? But I didn't listen to it because I've heard it a thousand times. I forgot the exact words. Folks, that clip's even better than I thought.

Hey, this COVID thing was really cool because now we figured out how to like use climate change to scare the hell out of people and make them do stuff they don't want to do too. It's just saying. Oh, they're not thinking about that kind of stuff. Really?

Listen to John Kerry, Joe Biden's green energy czar, whatever the hell he is, environmental globalist disaster czar. Listen to him himself. Check this out. To be transitioning out of coal, there shouldn't be any more

coal fired power plants permitted anywhere in the world. That's how you can do something for health. And the reality is that we're not doing it. So, you know, the measure here is is really sounding the alarm bell i find myself getting more and more militant because i do not understand how adults who are in position of responsibility can be avoiding responsibility for taking away those things that are killing people on a daily basis you're right we did lurch Ladies and gentlemen, just listen to their own words. Dan, I don't believe you. Why? I'm not asking you to believe me.

I'm playing you their own words. Come on. They're not going to shut down coal, force us all into electric cars, stop us from driving using the electrical grid, and make us use carbon passports. Dan, that's a conspiracy theory. Guy, if you would, my friend, CNN, please. It's time to limit how often we can travel abroad. Carbon passports may be the answer. It's definitely a conspiracy theory.

It's just CNN. Oh, it's not. Wait, he's in my ear saying that. Oh, the Business Insider got the talking points too. Could carbon passports that limit how much we travel be in our future? You're like six, seven months ahead of the news cycle on the show. Someone will steal this and use it tonight, by the way. So someone will take this on their show. Please do, by the way. I

shouldn't say steal. I don't want to sound like a dick. Take this stuff, run with it. It's all coming, folks. You think it isn't, you're crazy. It is all coming. Hey, man, I really appreciate you tuning in. I'd like to say I had to give it to Guy a little bit today. Guy underestimated the power of the audience. He was unsure on this Christmassy type week, how many people would show up this week. I said, Guy, we're going to get way over 85,000 people. We got 90 because you all are awesome and I love you. And thanks to everybody who gets in the chat early. I'm having a good time. We had,
