Joe grounds me on the Fridays and the Mondays and all this other stuff with his rather unique intros into the show here. Good pre-show. So just a little bit of bad news on a personal note

Uh, so let's get to it today. Show brought to you by friends at my Patriot supply. Listen, are you ready for what's next? It's likely coming. Sadly, food shortages,
Starting point is 00:02:32 power outages, grocery stores, clothes, and social unrest. Do you want any of that? No, we don't. But why would you not be prepared and ensure your food supply? You ensure everything in your life that matters. You ensure your health, you ensure your home, you ensure your car, you have dental insurance for your teeth.

Go to mypatriotsupply.com, the original Patriot preparedness company, MyPatriotSupply.com. Go today. All right, Joe, let's go. Needed that bell today. A little bit of bad news yesterday. A bell gets me in the mood for the show every single day. Ladies and gentlemen, let's start off with the social media wars on America, freedom, liberty, freedom of speech, the Republic, you know, that kind of stuff stuff stuff that kind of matters a little bit a little bit you can tell it's been a bad week for the hapless democrats when they're trotting out again what russia the russia russia did it the russia whenever the democrats and their media allies trot out my russia my my Russia, when the mother Russia, they start singing the Soviet national anthem,
Starting point is 00:04:10 you know it's been a disastrous week for the Democrats, okay? We've had these two Biden bombshells. Actually, I would argue three, that now Biden is sold out to Russia, Biden is sold out to China, and Biden is sold out to Russia, Biden is sold out to China, and Biden is sold out to Ukraine. We've had that. We've had the disastrous hearings for the Democrats of Amy Coney Barrett,
Starting point is 00:04:32 who has just lit the Democrats on fire. And we have Biden who can't answer a question about court packing. So it's been a disastrous week for the Democrats. So what happens? You see this tweet for the Washington Post who rushes right into the rescue right away here you go with the russian story right now at washington post on twitter white house was warned giuliani was a target of a russian intelligence operation
Starting point is 00:04:55 to feed misinformation to trump here we go folks here we go as if on cue whenever the democrats need a rescue operation from their their media the media like a special forces team from a foreign universe these guys come in like from the terminator three something universe they come in with their automaton robots from like whatever that company was in in uh in the the termin series. What was it like Cytomex or something? I don't even know. The company comes in and builds all these Cytodyne or Turnodyne or whatever. They come in with their robots
Starting point is 00:05:33 and it's a special operations force to clean up the negative stories for the Democrats. And the special operations force comes armed heavily with Russian collusion stories. Folks, this is really sickening. On a very serious note, Tucker kind of hit on this last night a bit, and it's really infuriating to me too that every time now a negative story emerges about the Democrats, like Biden selling the country out for his family's financial interests, that what do the democrats do because they think you're stupid
Starting point is 00:06:06 and their media allies do for them i said the same thing democrats media allies this must be russian disinformation you know i said yesterday i just want to repeat this again we we can't I said yesterday, I just want to repeat this again. We can't. There's no future like this. You understand that, right? There is no future for our constitutional republic like this.
Starting point is 00:06:40 If we cannot rely on independent arbiters in the media to give us a common set of facts we agree on. Please tell me you understand that. When Russians who want to disrupt our republic, which they want to do now, they embark on strategies that do what? They embark on strategies that create internal division. But the Russian strategy is exactly what the media is doing now. I'm not suggesting the media is working with Russians to do it. I'm suggesting that enemies of the United States like Russia understand we are too powerful to break up from afar. We can only be broken up from within. If you were going to break us up from within, Joe, please tell me this makes sense the best way to do it would to create to be to create such chaos and confusion about what's actually going on that the nation goes to war with itself because everybody's telling each other is different set of lies that's it yeah yeah we got this is that
Starting point is 00:07:39 again i'm not suggesting the media is working with the Russians. Some have, by the way. I'm just suggesting that a foreign government like the Russians that doesn't like us, a nuclear power, if they wanted to destroy the United States, this would be the way to do it. To get supposedly independent arbiters of truth to create false narratives that get Americans to go to war with one another. We now have what looks to be evidence, strong evidence that the former vice president United States, who could be the next president, Joe Biden, sold this country out and may have been on the dole of enemies of the United States, either him or members of his family. We know his son was paid off by the Russians. We know his son was paid off by the Chinese. And we know his son was paid off by the Ukrainians, know his son was paid off by the Chinese. And we know his son was paid off by the Ukrainians, who I wouldn't call enemies of the United States. The other two, I would. But I would definitely say it's a foreign government because they are the Ukrainians.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Instead of investigating that, the media decides to engage in a ridiculous false narrative that this may be a Russian disinformation campaign instead of asking basic questions like, are these emails real? Did Hunter Biden, in fact, sell the country out to enemies of the United States, notably the Russians, by taking a payoff from the mayor of Moscow's wife and by the Chinese? And is he giving money to his father, as evidenced by these emails? Where is that investigation? Let's look at NBC. Here he goes. Fusion Ken Delanian, always to the rescue, folks.
Starting point is 00:09:09 You know Fusion Ken Delanian and NBC? Fusion Ken is the guy, whenever someone in the intel community, a deep stater who has no interest in actual intelligence, and the person doing it probably doesn't have any intelligence either outside of the strategic use of the term. What happens? They feed something to Fusion Ken. Here he goes yesterday to distract you from the story that Hunter Biden and the Biden family may have been bought off by enemies of the United States. Here's Fusion Ken. Fed's examining whether alleged Hunter Biden emails are linked to a foreign intel operation.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Notice what that title doesn't say. Fed's examining whether Hunter Biden's been blackmailed by a foreign government. Nobody's concerned about that. So someone leaked this diffusion, Ken, who has the intelligence of a shoebox, who immediately runs it at NBC so that Americans, again, are confused about what's going on. Not that the potential future president of the United States, God forbid Joe Biden, could be in the back pocket of a nuclear power that hates us, the Chinese and the Russians, two nuclear powers. That's not the story.
Starting point is 00:10:12 The story becomes how people who found the information could be the targets of a Russian disinformation operation, which is phenomenal because Fusion Ken Delanian, Fusion Ken Delanian NBC was one of the first people to pump an actual Russian disinformation story by pumping the collusion hoax, which we know was partially at least the product of Russian disinformation. Do you understand what I'm telling you here? Please think this through. what I'm telling you here? Please think this through. Fusion Candelanian, one of the biggest collusion hoaxers out there, total knucklehead, shoebox IQ guy, pumped into the American bloodstream a fake story about Trump colluding with the Russians, unquestionably debunked by any sane person,
Starting point is 00:11:03 pumped it into the American bloodstream, forcing Americans to go into ideological war with each other, nearly fracturing the country and resulting in a fake hoax impeachment later. And a two year plus probe, the Mueller probe, the witch hunt of the Trump operation when you factor in the other probes too. He does that. That's the product of an actual Russian disinformation campaign. Now we get information that the Bidens may really be colluding with foreign powers and all kinds of shady financial deals right before an election. And Fusion Ken wants to, now he's concerned about Russian disinformation? Now he's concerned.
Starting point is 00:11:44 and Ken wants to, now he's concerned about Russian disinformation? Now he's concerned. Again, folks, you can tell it's been a bad week for the Democrats. The Coney Barrett hearings did not go well for them. These Biden bombshells are beyond bombshells. Again, these are just nuclear bombs. And of course, Biden can't give a straight answer on any question. They're worried because I'll give you some hopefully good news at the end of the show today about some numbers here that are not looking good for Biden right now. So what do they do? They rush to people like Fusion, Ken Delaney and NBC
Starting point is 00:12:12 and get them to run stories to distract you from what's really going on. As always, Tucker, Tucker Carlson, his 8 p.m. show on Fox did a great job. This is about a minute cut of Tucker last night, summing up beautifully what the real controversy is here and what Fusion can from NBC and others don't want you to see. Check this out. Joe Biden still has not been forced to explain why he fired Ukraine's top prosecutor at precisely the moment his son was being paid to get him to fire Ukraine's top prosecutor.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Nor has Joe Biden addressed whether or not he personally benefited from the Burisma contract. But there are tantalizing hints. Last night, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani published what he said was yet another email from Hunter Biden's laptop. It's a note to one of his children. It's sad and it's fraught and it's personal. And we're not going to quote it at length. to one of his children. It's sad and it's fraught and it's personal. And we're not going to quote it at length. But at the end, there's this quote, don't worry. Unlike your grandfather, I won't make you give me half your salary. What does that mean exactly? Well, we don't know. There may be more detail in the laptop, but unfortunately, we don't have access to that. But the question remains, how has Joe Biden lived in extravagance all these years on a government salary?
Starting point is 00:13:27 No one has ever answered that question. You believe this? We now have two weeks from an election, a major party presidential candidate who's leading a lot of polls, Joe Biden. Who could potentially have been bought off him and his family by major foreign power enemies of the United States that possess nuclear weapons, and the media, which bathed themselves in Russian disinformation to promote anti-Trump stories, their only concern is, is this Russian disinformation? And let me be clear. I'm not suggesting we shouldn't investigate the genesis of these emails, the origin,
Starting point is 00:14:03 if they're authentic, if they were manipulated by foreign actors, Russian or elsewhere, we should. Right. But how is the Joe Biden family not under investigation right at this very second? I said it last night on Fox and I'm going to repeat it again here. I said it this morning on Fox and Friends first. If Joe Biden does not exit the race and these emails aren't authenticated, which I'm assuming will happen shortly. If they are authenticated, Joe Biden needs to immediately exit the race. He is an active national security threat to the United States of America, both to you and your family, your neighbors, anyone else who lives in this country. He is an active national security threat. That is not hyperbole.
Starting point is 00:14:45 That is a fact. A fact. If he does not step aside and God forbid is elected president as an ongoing active national security threat, he could be blackmailed. He needs to be impeached immediately. Immediately. I'm not concerned about the politics of it. he needs to be impeached immediately. Immediately. I'm not concerned about the politics of it. I'm concerned that this guy is an existential threat to this country.
Starting point is 00:15:12 I am not kidding. Can you imagine the blackmail material they would possess on this guy? Remember, it's not what we've seen about Hunter Biden. Can't blackmail him if it's already out in public. It's what we haven't seen what else is out there folks who knows i can tell you who knows the chinese know all right i've got a lot more ahead i've got this soros block i gotta do um also we're just gonna shred twitter because they've just been gross i'm gonna get back to that what a disgusting company right now just pathetic

Starting point is 00:16:58 the NBC Savannah Guthrie event? I mean, that was an inquisition. Listen, I was in law enforcement for 15 years. I was gentler on you know really bad bad guys than savannah guthrie was on donald trump because you actually want to get an answer out of them it doesn't do yet listen a lot of that stuff you see in the movies like in batman movies where they're like one it'd be illegal but they're cracking the bad guy's head off there yeah it doesn't happen in the real world then you'd be arrested you don't have to cracking the bad guy's head off there. It doesn't happen in the real world. Then you'd be arrested.
Starting point is 00:17:26 You don't have to assault the bad guys. But I'm not kidding. Like there is a way to elicit a response from people. And the way to do it is not to badger them to death and interrupt them right as they get a head of steam going. Now, you may be saying to yourself, I know a lot of you are, which is smart. Well, Dan, Trump interrupted Biden a lot. Yeah, he did. Biden interrupted Trump a lot too during the, which is smart. Well, Dan, Trump interrupted Biden a lot. Yeah, he did.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Biden interrupted Trump a lot too during the debate, but that's different. That's a candidate interrupting his opponent in an effort to fluster him. That's a strategy. You don't have to agree with it, but it's a strategy to fluster. That's what they wanted to do, to fluster Biden.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Again, I'm not suggesting, well, see on election day, did it work or didn't, who knows? The moderator of a town hall is not supposed to have a strategy. The moderator is supposed to ask questions and get answers. Am I crazy? Because I can see I'm trying. I always, when I say things, I try to think how you'll respond. That's not the goal of the moderator.
Starting point is 00:18:22 The moderator, Savannah Guthrie, in the disastrous town hall last night for her, not for Trump, is supposed to elicit answers so the American people can see where the president stands and make an appropriately informed decision. Her job isn't to be a counterpuncher. Now, contrast that last night with the Biden town hall on ABC, which was really the equivalent of romper room. Well, it was I mean, what an embarrassing joke. They weren't even softball questions. They were like pillow.
Starting point is 00:18:57 I mean, lay me down on a down feather pillow there. I mean, give me a break. What was the guy going to get a massage afterwards? Someone going to give him a cigarette and a smoking the guy going to get a massage afterwards? Someone going to give him a cigarette and a smoking jacket. The Biden that was a total fuck. What a disaster did the guy went on five, 10 minute answers from Stephanopoulos. No one interrupted him ever. It's just, it's embarrassing. Again, it shows you again, why the media, the same people now is why I did the show in this order injecting back into the national
Starting point is 00:19:27 discourse the russia nonsense right as biden the heat goes on on biden because that's what they do they're disinformation specialists in the media this is what they do here so a couple i don't want to go crazy with this because you're gonna hear a lot of this today on the news but here's a couple cuts here's biden last night, given a softball question on policing. I have to rate this one of the dumbest answers in the history of presidential politics. Joe Biden asked about police use of force. Just listen to this.
Starting point is 00:19:57 I mean, this is like, if there were imbecile levels and like DEFCON levels, and DEFCON 1 is the worst. People get that backwards. DEFCON 1 is the worst. This is like imbecile levels and like DEFCON levels and DEFCON one's the worst. People get that backwards. DEFCON one's the worst. This is like imbecile level one right here. Check this out. We can do this. You can ban chokeholds. You can. But beyond that, you have to teach people how to deescalate circumstances, deescalate. So instead of anybody coming at you and the first thing you do is shoot to kill, you shoot them in the leg. Instead of anybody coming at you and the first thing you do is shoot to kill, you shoot them in the leg.
Starting point is 00:20:31 There's ways you have to do more background checks in terms of whether or not the person coming in passes certain psychological tests. I knew that was going to get you. I knew that was going to get you. You watched it as it happened. You knew that was coming over as a cut this morning. It was going to get you. How could. Yeah. Folks, there's a couple of things that I mean, obviously, you're all cringing at the horror that a presidential candidate actually said that.
Starting point is 00:20:50 I understand that. But I'm trying to be serious about it because you can laugh and we can and we should because Biden is laughable. He's a clown and he's a con man and he's a corruptocrat and he's also a national security risk right now. But he's also an imbecile a lot um but i mean really once in a while he gives a semi-intelligible answer uh this was not it so he's talking about de-escalation and then he follows de-escalation de-escalating folks for the liberals listening that means the opposite of escalating that means in other words bringing down the temperature on an interaction if you're a police officer with someone in the public you're interacting with deescalating, taking it down. Right. So it's not funny.
Starting point is 00:21:33 It's so stupid, but he mentions deescalation. He falls up, but we'll shoot him in the leg. So I'm trying to envision a scenario here. You're let's say you're issuing a parking ticket. I used to work in the seven five precinct as a police officer in east new york guy comes running out he's you know really upset which is understand that's why i never wrote parking tickets oh i think i wrote like five of them my entire time there and it was only for egregious stuff i'm serious i hated it i hated it i didn't even care they gave me the informal quote i'm like i ain't doing that sorry guy comes running out screaming i wasn't double parked. I was every too many.
Starting point is 00:22:06 And he looks like he's going to kick your caboose in, right? Kick the wazoo. He still don't know where the wazoo is, but I don't want to get kicked there. So he comes running out and you want to deescalate it. So you're like, here are your options, Joe. Option A for the sane people. Sir, sir, I hear you. I appreciate what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Very sorry, but you were double parked there's a way to fight the ticket here's how you do it the instructions are on the back now joe you weren't a police officer but joe's a pretty smart guy that'd be pretty good de-escalation right do you think that would be you think yeah yeah it's smooth could work i mean he may be really upset maybe it doesn't work but it's worth a shot sir i'm really sorry it's not personal this is how you know we have to enforce the law people complain cars couldn't get around you joe biden's where you whip out your your glock or whatever and you're like sir show me a leg give me a leg immediately sir right or left right he's left shoot him in 11 put your leg out there you go hit him in the vastus medialis right there. Are you de-escalated now, sir?
Starting point is 00:23:09 You may say, oh, come on. You're taking this to an unnatural level. It's being a bit hyper. But is it really? He's talking about de-escalation. And the next thought that comes to his mind is we should shoot people in the leg? Answer. Sir, is that an open beverage in public? Give me a leg, sir.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Give me a right or a left. If you're right, give me that left leg. Maybe in the calf. Give me the calf. Hold on. What is he talking about? Deescalate people by shooting them in the leg? Let's assume for a minute he had a coherent thought.
Starting point is 00:23:46 He didn't. But let's assume he did. And what he meant to say is in deadly use of force scenarios, there are other, there's no de-escalating a deadly use of force scenario. Do you, you understand what I'm saying? When the decision is made to use deadly force, there's no de-escalating. There is stopping what's happening. In other words, if you, does this make sense? I mean, I know I'm trying, if I'm beating this to death, please forgive me.
Starting point is 00:24:20 But I want you to understand that this guy's running to be the president of the United States. He's going to supervise the Department of Justice. And he can't even logically think through basic things like use of force scenarios. When a firearm or a knife at close range is pulled on you, and you perceive that the result of an attack will be serious physical injury or death to you or someone else, and you've decided to employ deadly force, a firearm, you're not de-escalating. Your effort there is to stop what's happening. There is a difference. The terminology matters. Because if you don't stop it, you will be dead or seriously physically
Starting point is 00:25:00 injured. Biden doesn't understand the difference. He's using, he does understand it, folks, by the way, even though he's not that bright. He's using these terms because these are leftist buzz terms that he knows caters to the radical left. Do you understand why he did that? We have to deescalate. Therefore, we think about shooting him in the leg. We have to de-escalate. Therefore, we think about shooting them in the leg. That's not what deadly use of force is about. Firearms by police are employed on general use of force guidelines only to stop an incident that could result in death
Starting point is 00:25:36 or serious physical injury to others. It's not about de-escalation at that point. It's about stopping it before someone dies. Now, why do we not shoot people in the leg intentionally? Because, ladies and gentlemen, if you're engaged in a deadly use of force incident with your firearm as a police officer, you shoot to stop. Nobody is trained to shoot to kill outside of limited scenarios. of limited scenarios. A suicide bomber where you may,
Starting point is 00:26:05 say a suicide bomber in a ballistic vest, you may have to aim for the head. There are very limited scenarios where you'd be trained to shoot to kill. Folks, listen, I know I taught this stuff.
Starting point is 00:26:20 You are trained to stop. You're not trained to kill the subject. And the most tactically efficient, it's not nice, it's not cute, I'm not trying to undersell any of this. The most tactically efficient way to do that is to fire your weapon, God forbid you had to, into an area you're likely to hit,
Starting point is 00:26:39 which is what? The center mass of the body, which is the biggest and is the most stable. The reason you don't shoot, we don't train people to shoot people in the legs is because it's really hard to do, which would make it really hard to stop someone engaging in an incident that could result in your death or the death of another. Does that make sense? Of course it does if you're sane, but not to Joe Biden, who doesn't have any clue what he's talking about. We don't shoot or train to shoot people in the legs
Starting point is 00:27:12 because it's not going to stop what that person's doing to warrant a deadly force response from the police officer. That's why, Joe, I'm telling you, if Armacost last night knew I was going to give that clip to him, believe me, every police officer in America, every police officer, law enforcement agent, corrections officer, trained
Starting point is 00:27:32 pilot with some pilots have firearms, trained security guard who's been trained with a firearm watched that clip last night and went oh my God. They gave the Ryan Reynolds giphy on Twitter where he's like oh you know the fan you use your giphy on twitter you know exactly what i'm talking about what of course
Starting point is 00:27:52 by no he's advertising his ignorance let's go to just quickly here video number two the low lights of biden's softball session george stephanopoulos knew he had to ask this question no questions by the way about the biden crime family at all. None. Why would we ask that? I mean, you know, the guy could be a national security risk to the United States of America whose family could have been bribed off by foreign governments who are nuclear powers. Let's not ask him about that. But George Stephanopoulos knew he had to ask him a question about packing the Supreme Court. And Biden still won't give a realistic answer. Check this out. Looks like they're going to have a vote around Halloween. So if they vote on it before the election, if they vote on it before the election, you are open to expanding the court. I'm open to considering what happens
Starting point is 00:28:34 from that point. Biden still won't give you an answer about destroying an entire branch of government by adding seats to the Supreme Court, which would be promptly followed up by the Republicans, then followed up again by the Democrats. You'd have 1,167 members of the Supreme Court, which would render the entire branch of government feckless and useless. What'll be next, by the way, after they pack the Supreme Court? They'll pack the appeals courts. Ladies and gentlemen, it'll be a total disaster. Biden won't answer the question. You'll get my answer after I decide what happens with Amy Coney Barrett, or I see what, what does that have to do with anything?
Starting point is 00:29:12 All right. That was the only even moderately difficult question given to Biden last night. Now turn around on Trump, Trump who went through the inquisition with Savannah Guthrie, who, who she, she thought she was like Barney Miller or something. Yes, they're trying to interrogate the president. So the president, I think, handily just embarrassed her last night. She looked terrible. I don't know how she thought this in any way made her look good. She looked ridiculous. But she was given a question. She tried to trap Trump in a
Starting point is 00:29:43 corner on his response to COVID, which I think is, you know, obviously there are always going to be mistakes. But I think he did a darn good job. And I know because I was there from the beginning and was privy to some very specific briefings about just how seriously the president took COVID right away. But notice how, again, Savannah Guthrie, who no one asked Joe Biden about his COVID response, which was the travel ban is xenophobic. No one asked him about that stuff, about how he implied it was xenophobic. Nobody. But here's Savannah Guthrie trying to hammer Trump on it and Trump firing right back with the statistics.
Starting point is 00:30:16 He had handy and ready to go. He did a really good job. He prepped really well for this. Check this out. Look at what's going on in Europe. Massive spikes. They've done a very good job. But now
Starting point is 00:30:25 you take a look today at the UK. You take a look at Spain and France and Italy. There's tremendous spikes. But our death rate is worse than, well, not Spain, but those other countries. I have things right here that will tell you exactly the opposite. Me too. The UK is up 2,500 percent because I knew you'd be doing this. I know you very well. The UK is up 2,500%. The EU is up 722%, and the United States is down 21%. Nice. A little bit of homework goes a long way there. He did some real damage to their narrative. By the way, the reason the death rate in the United States is running pretty much in the middle of the pack, it doesn't lead the world by any stretch, but the reason it is, and that shouldn't be ignored under any
Starting point is 00:31:08 circumstances, I don't care who the president is, very serious disease. We now know, Paul and I, two people who passed tragically, two. But the reason we have such an elevated death rate, but the reason we have such an elevated death rate, and we shouldn't for a country of our economic and healthcare power and prowess, is because the Democratic governor of New York, which by far, by far for a long time, led the country in deaths, decided it would be a good idea
Starting point is 00:31:36 to put patients infected with this deadly virus back into nursing homes where the most vulnerable were, and we had a near massacre in nursing homes as a result. Notice how she leaves that out. Notice how she leaves that out, Savannah Guthrie. And by the way, tragically, this isn't about the political win. These are human lives. These are human beings we're talking about. It's about a political win for them, not for us on this show. Sadly, the rates of infection and death in Europe are now going up dramatically, as the president pointed out, while the United States is stabilizing thanks to a warp
Starting point is 00:32:11 speed-like effort to get both a vaccine and therapeutics like monoclonal antibodies and remdesivir. But again, Savannah Guthrie doesn't want to bring that up because she's looking to score cheap points on top of people's gravestones. It's disgusting. Here's another low light for Savannah Guthrie, but another high point for President Trump, who understandably is getting tired about these denunciation questions when none of those questions are posed to Biden. Biden, who literally, folks, not figuratively, spoke in an exalted fashion. I mean, spoke about, I mean, with such reverence for an exalted, that's the way I use that term, exalted cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan, Robert Byrd.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Biden spoke at his funeral. Biden's never asked about denouncing anyone. Trump every day is asked for the 10,000th time to denounce white supremacists, which he's done on tape repeatedly. Savannah Guthrie apparently missed that. And Trump smartly turns it back on her. Where are the denunciations about Antifa? In other words, for these leftists who coddle these violent losers.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Check this out. Why aren't you asking me about Antifa? Why aren't you asking me about the radical left? Why aren't you asking Joe Biden questions about why doesn't he condemn Antifa? Why does he say it doesn't exist? Because you're here before me. No, so cute. Antifa exists. They're vicious. They're violent. They kill people and they're burning down our cities. And they happen to be radical left. Nice. Ladies and gentlemen, I told you this a long time ago. If you ever run for
Starting point is 00:33:45 office, it's a skill I learned during my three campaigns. You never answer the question they're giving you because it's not a question. The media doesn't ask questions. The media is not a real fact-finding enterprise. What the media is doing is they're looking to get you to make statements that fit their narrative. It's the whole standard. When did you stop beating your wife? What are you talking about? I don't beat my wife my wife headline dan bongino doesn't beat his wife which makes people say what who said dan bongino beat his wife and that's in their heads because you can avoid an assertion you can never avoid a question right this is what they do so what i always suggest you do if you decide to run for office is don't ask their don't answer their dumb question
Starting point is 00:34:21 because they're not questions but the savannah guhrie does not want President Trump to denounce white supremacy, excuse me, for the 65,000 times. She can play the video of him doing it over and over. She wants him, again, to answer, President Trump hesitates on denouncing white supremacy. That's their narrative. And they just want him to take one breath so they can say that even though he's done it repeatedly. So what does he do? He smartly turns around the question and asks her, isn't joe biden denouncing antifa good for him well done finally my last piece is i got a lot more to get to i don't want to miss
Starting point is 00:34:54 this soros segment a little bit of good news ladies and gentlemen was a hero at the debate last night's the hero we all needed today especially especially me. If you watched it, you know what I'm saying. You know, nodding lady, nodding woman. Her name is, I found her name. It was in the Miami Herald this morning. It's Mara Jolie. Mara Jolie is the hero we all needed today. She was sitting behind President Trump off, I think his left shoulder. I'll play this in a second. You got to watch the video, rumble.com slash Bongino. Check this know, check this out. If you missed it last night, there's a woman in the background, a black female, Mayra Jolie. She's sitting there the whole time and like giving Trump like nods of approval
Starting point is 00:35:34 and thumbs up. She was the star of the show last night. Here's Mayra Jolie. Forgive me for saying your name wrong. The hero we all needed today. Check this out. Look over his left shoulder. 30 seconds. What would you say to them? Because I've done a great job. We have the strongest economy in the world. We closed it up. We are coming around the corner. The vaccines are coming out soon and our economy is strong. We are at a level with jobs like we've never been before. We've rebuilt our military. We've rebuilt our borders. We had no borders.
Starting point is 00:36:03 We had no nothing. Of course, you can expect stories today. The media will dox her, show up at her house. We'll find out in third grade. You know, in third grade, she drew a picture one time and the picture had a knife in it. Therefore, she could be a potential serial murderer. I mean, we'll see all these stories come out today because that's what the media does. They don't care about anything Trump said. And by the way, some producer for NBC got fired last night. I'm almost positive because they let, God forbid, a Trump supporter in the room. Someone's like, who vetted this woman? They want documents now. We want email, Charles. They're going to, 100% me being in the media business, somebody's in trouble today for allowing an actual Trump supporter into a Trump town hall. I'm not kidding. That actually, I'm a hundred percent.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Somebody's in trouble today. All right. Let me get to my Twitter block here. But before we do that, let me get to my third sponsor. This Twitter block's important, ladies and gentlemen. What Twitter is doing is destroying and decimating the public square right before an election. They are interfering in an election.

All right, getting back to our content, especially the war on America, freedom and liberty by Twitter, Facebook, Google. By the way, a story that got lost in the Twitter censorship operation and the pro-Biden basically super PAC known as Twitter at this point. Do you know YouTube was purging a bunch of conservative accounts and a bunch of other accounts associated with non-liberal movements as well? No. I'm just worried.
Starting point is 00:39:22 All that's getting lost, folks. no i'm just born all that's getting lost folks that's why rumble by the way our alternative to youtube which as you well know i have a financial interest in full disclosure there we were rocketing up the news and video app store chart as well because people are tired of it i'm sorry people are just tired of it but twitter are a bunch of frauds Twitter's saying now that the story I just told you about, about Hunter Biden's potential payoffs from the Chinese government, the Russian government, the Russian payoffs we know about from the Moscow mayor, Ukrainian payoffs that allegedly could be split with dad or pop, as he refers to them. Twitter saying, no, we blocked that story, literally blocked it where you couldn't click on the link in The New York Post because it was, quote, unreliable and it had a lack of authoritative reporting. Ladies and gentlemen, Twitter is an embarrassment. They are a disgrace. They are actively interfering in an election, acting as a super PAC for Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Now, so Rabbi Amari has a great piece in The New York Post. Please check it out. The show notes today are invaluable. Bongino dot com slash newsletter the newsletter is the show notes please read this article there if unreliable as twitter says right if that's the issue with the new york post story why did social media never block anti-trump stories that were quote unreliable so just to be crystal clear here because I know liberals will listen. They have a tough time with logic and putting two and two together and making four. Twitter, which is their, you know, they love,
Starting point is 00:40:52 they worship Twitter like the golden calf. They got to like, they have to like hum, like a hum. Remember Indiana Jones when they're excavating the ark and they're all singing that song in a desert? That's what they do is they're sitting down on a knee, genuflecting and worshiping their gods at Twitter. If that's the standard,
Starting point is 00:41:08 I'm just asking you to exhibit your principles. If Twitter's standard for not running the Hunter Biden expose about being bought off by foreign enemies wasn't run because it was unreliable and didn't have a lack of, and had a lack of authoritative reporting, then what about these stories? Let's go to screenshot one from Sohrab Amari's piece. Oh, remember this one? Remember when four CNN reporters, four, claimed in June of 2017 that
Starting point is 00:41:33 Jim Comey was going to dispute in congressional testimony Trump's claim that the FBI director had reassured the president he wasn't under investigation? I remember that well. Well, Comey did no such thing. But did Twitter and Facebook censor the story? Nope. That story wasn't only unreliable, it was fake. And four CNN morons swore to it. Where was the censoring of that story by Twitter? Nowhere, because it was meant to damage Donald Trump. So please stop the nonsense. You may say, well, Dan, that's pretty bad, but assuredly it can't be worse.
Starting point is 00:42:15 Oh, no, no, it's worse. Let's go to screenshot number two. Remember this one? Remember when The Guardian, the newspaper, concocted a story seemingly out of thin air about Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort and WikiLeaks' Julian Assange meeting at Ecuador's embassy in London? Oh, I covered that one.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Remember that show? Yeah, man. We covered that on the show. Yep. What was the problem with the meeting? The problem is there was no meeting. As the special counsel, Bob Mueller's report confirmed. What did Facebook or Twitter do?
Starting point is 00:42:44 Did they block that story? Nope. Nope. You can still post that story on either platform today. You can still post both of these stories from CNN. Comey's going to destroy Trump in this congressional hearing. Manafort met with Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy. They're both fake. You can still go to Twitter now and post those stories. Ladies and gentlemen, they're not unreliable. They've been thoroughly eviscerated and discredited. You can still post them on Twitter today. I thought you weren't allowed to post unreliable stories. No, no, no, no. You're only allowed to post unreliable stories that are reliable, but hurt Joe Biden. Those you're only allowed to post unreliable stories that are reliable but hurt joe biden those you're not allowed to post
Starting point is 00:43:26 by the way one quick correction yesterday during the show i said a couple times i was attacking the new york times and i used the new york post yeah i got a ton of email thank you i'm really sure i wasn't the new york post did a great job i i it was a long show yesterday so my and my apologies to the new york post i'm trying to celebrate with the new york post did not attack them yesterday and uh i i interchanged them for the new york times which is sleazy pretty much uh all the time let's go to the third screenshot from the piece again we're talking about reliable stories here remember when the atlantic posted a several thousand word story suggesting that senator jeffessions had lied when he said he didn't meet the Russian
Starting point is 00:44:05 ambassador as a team Trump surrogate, but as a routine matter. Remember that story? Oh, I do. Well, the Mueller report debunked the Atlantic decisively with its finding that the meeting in question didn't quote include any more than a passing mention of the presidential campaign. mention of the presidential campaign. So is the Atlantic story blocked as misinformation? Nope. No way. Still up there.
Starting point is 00:44:33 You can post it today on Twitter. I'm trying to think. Sometimes I have to multitask. What was the humming sound they're making in Raiders of the Lost Ark when they're excavating the ark do you remember do you remember how it goes well how how that was it i'm not sure if it's like in a different language or whatever uh i'm just that's what the liberals do when they sit around their Twitter golden calf and they genuflect and worship Jack Dorsey
Starting point is 00:45:09 and Twitter with his nose. That's what they do. You have to chant that sounds more official. The whole exercise, right, Joe? You have to get, there's gotta be a chant. It sounds so official and deep, right? What do you do? Can't believe you remember that what is this jeez i adored i'm telling you as i'm going through this i'm like what was the song
Starting point is 00:45:34 they're chanting and raiders that was it now when you watch it you'll think of this show forever but you have to chant as you're worshiping Twitter if you're a liberal. Again, it makes it sound so much more sincere. All right, last one. Last one. So again, Twitter's new standard for posting stories or blocking stories, I should say, is that they're unreliable. Although I just told you about three not only unreliable, but thoroughly discredited stories you can post right now on Twitter because they make Trump look bad, even though they're lies. Remember this one? We covered this one extensively. Michael Cohen in Prague. What about when McClatchy
Starting point is 00:46:08 wrote about Trump attorney Cohen with a secret trip to Prague to meet with his Kremlin handlers? Well, the Mueller report found that, quote, Cohen never traveled to Prague. So, of course, Joe, the McClatchy report must be blocked, right? I mean, it's unreliable. And of course, there's a lack of authoritative reporting because it's false. Of course it isn't. You can post that story today. You can also post the Steele dossier with the pee-pee stuff.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Yeah. Because Twitter loves pee-pee stuff as long as it makes Donald Trump look bad. You have to chant while you're posting anti-Trump stories too. In a communal worship episode with all your fellow liberal lunatics. All right, let me get to this. Sorry, folks. It's been a long couple of days and this is such therapy for me. You have no idea. It really is. I'll be okay. I'm an eternal optimist. Life is good. You blessed me, But the show really does more for me than you know.
Starting point is 00:47:07 Because everything that's bothering me, I get to share with you. And I feel like when it's bothering all of us, it'll motivate action to change it. Let me get to my last sponsor. And then I want to talk about this George Soros story, which is going to bake your bagels, to say the least. It's going to blow your mind. All right. Today's show also brought to you by our friends.

Starting point is 00:49:25 Tommyjohn.com slash Dan. Don't wait. Tommyjohn.com slash Dan. All right. Without further ado, I've been teasing this Soros story because it's important. So I saw a story at the Free Beacon I'll get to in a moment from yesterday where George Soros, again, liberal, very wealthy liberal activist at heart, where George Soros is pumping a bunch of money into the 2020 election cycle. You got the add-ups still. Now, the question you should always be asking when you see big money, candidly, folks on either side, it's not just a specific attack on Soros as a liberal.
Starting point is 00:50:04 You should always ask the question if you're interested in honest and transparent government, why would anybody on either side spend a lot of money to buy off a politician? Fair question, right? To buy off political races. What's their agenda? I'm not suggesting that should be squelched. Money, in my opinion, in politics is a form of speech. If that money buys ads, you're allowed to speak like anyone else. But I think transparency is generally a good thing, as long as it's not used to attack other people. I mean, attack like against the law.
Starting point is 00:50:37 Political attacks, obviously, are fair game. So what's Soros' agenda? Why is he spending so much money all the time? And why is he resurfacing in this 2020 election with a record spend to try to keep Donald Trump and others out of office? Ladies and gentlemen, Soros is hiding something. This is the last time I'm going to mention it for a while because I don't like to beat you over the head with it. But my new book is out, Follow the Money. Here's one of my copies here.
Starting point is 00:51:02 And chapter one of the book book which you'll see right here is called you probably can't read that insane in ukraine chapters about what george soros was trying to hide in the 2016 election to try to get donald trump out of office then and why he's terrified that Donald Trump might get reelected. It's all lined out in the book in detail, but I want to give you a little hint about what's in the book in the first chapter. You need to read this before you vote so you understand why all this liberal money is being flushed into the United States to keep Donald Trump from winning.
Starting point is 00:51:42 into the United States to keep Donald Trump from winning. George Soros, ladies and gentlemen, was heavily involved in the Ukraine mess. Ukraine, the same country where Hunter Biden was hired for a lucrative position to influence his father, at the time Vice President Biden, who was the point man in Ukraine. There was a lot of Soros money and influence being floated around in Ukraine. The fake whistleblower who initiated the impeachment hoax, I'm going to say this plainly, worked with Biden in the past, knew exactly what the Trump administration was going to find in Ukraine, influence peddling with the State Department, money changing hands, corruption. They had to make Donald Trump go away.
Starting point is 00:52:32 So when Donald Trump called the new Ukrainian president, remember the call that became the subject of the impeachment hoax? Yeah. And started inquiring about corruption in Ukraine that we must look into. The Biden camp panicked. They used their whistleblower. It's all laid out in a book, ladies and gentlemen. Follow the money. It's the title of the book.
Starting point is 00:52:54 The whistleblower knew what they had to do. The fake whistleblower and his army of people behind him knew to contact Adam Schiff immediately, and they panicked, and they had to get Trump out of office because they knew Trump was onto the scam. What was the scam in Ukraine? Well, for that, I have to go back to John Solomon, who's cited pretty extensively in my book.
Starting point is 00:53:15 And I have to go back to this old piece he wrote at The Hill. What were they hiding in Ukraine? That when Trump got wind of it, they panicked and tried to impeach him over through a fake whistleblower. And how does that relate to George Soros and his big money spends now? The Hill, George Soros' secret 2016 access to state, talking about the State Department, exposes big money hypocrisy of Democrats.
Starting point is 00:53:39 I thought the Democrats were really concerned about money in politics. Or as Sheldon Whitehouse says, dark money, Democrat, Senator, disaster, as you saw in the Amy Coney Barrett, dark money in politics. Ladies and gentlemen, George Soros was using our State Department staff in Ukraine to gain influence and leverage over his business rivals. Oh, yeah. And our Department of State under Barack Obama dutifully responded. Wait, wait, wait. Liberal mega donors can buy influence in our State Department to gain leverage over their business rivals in foreign countries? Oh, oh, oh, yes, they can.
Starting point is 00:54:23 Let's look at John Solomon's's piece of the hill this is fascinating there's a whole chapter in the book on this spent a lot of time and the footnotes are extensive by the way it's about 20 pages of them john solomon the hill by the way this article be in the show notes today read it it's an older article but it's worth your time. For example, one Department of Justice investigation in 2014 targeted a Ukrainian oligarch by the name of Dmitry Firtash. Oh! Firtash and Soros
Starting point is 00:54:54 both have significant energy interests in Europe and rival plans to rebuild Ukraine. After Firtash's indictment by our Justice Department, Soros' business announced plans, wow, that's convenient, to invest a billion dollars in Ukraine. Wow. Business rival gets taken out. All of a sudden, Soros shows up with a whole boatload of dough.
Starting point is 00:55:19 Since then, significant problems have arisen with the DOJ's case against Firtash, that's Soros' business rival, thwarting efforts to extradite Firtash to the U.S. for trial. You know where Firtash conveniently shows up as well? In Glenn Simpson, the owner of Fusion GPS, or co-owner, in his 2007 Wall Street Journal piece where he has an unusual interest in Dimmitry Firtash, who is George Soros' business rival. Does Soros have a relationship with Glenn Simpson? Why are they so interested in Firtash? Soros basically buying influence with the Justice Department of the United States and the State Department, not because he cares about the benefit of our country, but because he cares about taking out a business rival because he has a billion dollar investment in Ukraine. Kind of weird, no?
Starting point is 00:56:12 I thought the Democrats cared about the influence of big money in politics. Soros poured huge dollars into the 2016 election and the 2020 election to combat a president interested in corruption in Ukraine while he was donating to people who were targeting his business rivals in Ukraine? Not interested in that at all? Not even a little bit? Dad. Well, Trump knew what was going on in Ukraine. So did a lot of Trump's people. So those people who wanted to cover up George Soros' influence peddling operation in Ukraine to target business rivals, those people had to be taken out because Soros and his operators there in Ukraine, they didn't want to be uncovered. So what happened? Let's look at this second screenshot
Starting point is 00:57:00 from John Solomon's piece. Well, you had people who knew, and listen, I'm not defending Manafort or Firtash. Let me be crystal clear. I'm simply suggesting I find it awfully odd Soros donates a lot of money to liberals who run a government that then go and target his business rivals. And then, in fact, they target people looking into it. It says, on another front, a Ukrainian nonprofit funded in part by Soros was a cheerleader for the discovery of documents in Ukraine during the 2016 election that showed Paul Manafort received millions in payments from
Starting point is 00:57:30 Ukraine's Russia-friendly political machine. And the black ledger, by the way, which has never been authenticated. The revelation led to Manafort's resignation and eventual prosecution. This time, philanthropy and politics found common ground for the Clinton-backing Soros. And when Ukraine's general prosecutor sought to investigate one of the country's non-profits partially funded by Soros during 2016, the State Department pressured Ukrainian officials to drop the case. Ladies and gentlemen, do you see what's going on here? A major liberal mega-donor, George Soros, millions of dollars,
Starting point is 00:58:13 had business interests in Ukraine, needed his rivals taken out, donates to the Obama administration. At the same time, the Department of Justice and others start investigating and doubling down on his business rivals. While Soros as well, people start to look at him, and then his group shows up on a do not prosecute list by a Ukrainian prosecutor looking into Soros' influence operation in Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Soros gets a protection racket from the U.S. State Department on his side and gets a hit squad to go after his business rivals on the other side. Trump and his team knew what was going on in Ukraine. They started asking questions. All of a sudden, a fake whistleblower and a bunch of Democrat deep state bureaucrats in the National Security Council invent a fake line of attack about Trump's quid pro quo in
Starting point is 00:59:11 Ukraine, totally made up, fabricated. They used to impeach him. Why? To get him away from the Ukrainian mess. All of this is happening, by the way, as Biden's son has a lucrative position in Ukraine with an influential company who knows some of these people. And any mention of the owner of that company, of owner Burisma, was struck from the record. The U.S. ambassador at the time, Jeffrey Pyatt, was told not to talk about the owner of Burisma after Hunter Biden got hired on this Ukrainian natural gas company, Burisma.
Starting point is 00:59:49 So there are three things going on here to sum this up. Now you'll see why I'll get to this free beacon story in a minute. Soros is pumping a bunch of money into this game because God forbid this all comes out. There are three things going on. Number one, the Biden family's getting rich in Ukraine. They don't want anybody to know about it. Trump sniffs it out. Number two, Soros is getting a protection racket. Do not prosecute my open societies, foundation link groups, and where my money's going.
Starting point is 01:00:18 Three, DOJ and other ones. Yeah, you know, if I check this out, you guys may need to want to look at this guy Firtash, who just conveniently happens to be a rival to george suros those three things are going on a targeting operation a protection racket and a financial basically rico scheme here where the biden family's getting rich and maybe kicking up money to quote pop biden himself now you see why when Trump started sniffing around in Ukraine, all these fake whistleblowers appeared out of nowhere? Alarm bells started going off everywhere.
Starting point is 01:00:53 Now look at this. The Washington Free Beacon story. Excuse me. This will be in the show notes too. Soros triples election spending, pouring $70 million into 2020 efforts. Oh. Ladies and gentlemen, why do you think George Soros, listen, I don't care how much money you have.
Starting point is 01:01:15 $70 million is a lot of money. Why is George Soros and his operation in such a panic? And why is the left in such a panic every time you mention Soros? Which, by the way, every time you do, I mention him twice more. Every time the media doesn't matter, people at Media Matters, every time they say, oh my gosh, this is anti-Semitic, anti-Semitic. That is, you disgust me with your filth. Anti-Semitic, coming from the anti-Semitic left,
Starting point is 01:01:45 which hates Israel. This has absolutely nothing whatsoever. I'll be honest with you. I didn't even know George Soros' religion until these kooks at these left-leaning groups decided to try to distract us with their, this is anti-Semitic. That's why they're doing this.
Starting point is 01:02:03 We will double down precisely because I know the left is terrified. They always go to these, you're a racist, you're an anti-Semitic. That's why they're doing this. We will double down precisely because I know the left is terrified. They always go to these, you're a racist, you're an anti-Semitic. Whenever you're over the target, they go to that because they think it'll scare you. They know it has nothing to do with that. They're just making it up. What does it have to do with? Hiding his protection racket, Soros, his targeting racket of his business rivals, and the fact that the Biden team is profiting handsomely from all of this and their protection of the protection racket that's what's really going on hey one piece of good news i'll leave you with this i know paul
Starting point is 01:02:36 didn't think i'd get through there's a red state story i had it in the show notes this week it is a friday i don't like to leave you in a band note here's a piece of good news about polling i'll zip through this fast red state here are the metrics that show Trump has a lock in the election. I wouldn't say it's a lock. I think it's a toss up. I really do. I think it's 50 50. I'm trying to stay out of the predictions game because it does no good.
Starting point is 01:02:55 Just vote. Just go out and vote and take 10 people with you. It's as simple as that. Game time's over. But some good news to warm your heart a little bit. And I will have an election special coming up next week. I'm going to have a pollster on to specifically talk about this. Zogby has President Trump's approval of 51%.
Starting point is 01:03:13 No president has lost with an approval rating over 50%. Very good news. Another one, point two. 56% of Americans gauge that they're better off now than they were four years ago. With lower numbers than that, fewer people thought they were better off. The president was reelected in 2012, 2004, 1992, and 1984, with lower numbers than that. Trump is above that number. Third, any president with 75% of the primary vote in his own party has typically been re-elected
Starting point is 01:03:48 trump had 94 one final point the voter enthusiasm gap how enthusiastic are you about your candidate trump has a 20 point edge i only tell you that the ladies and gentlemen right off the pulse it's game time now just show up and vote we can win this we can win it the pulse. It's game time now. Just show up and vote. We can win this. We can win it handily. But now's the time for action. Talk time is over, as you well know.

As many of you know who are dealing with conditions like this, many of you have these obstacles in your own life. It typically becomes a family problem, not just yours. So pray for her as well. I appreciate all your prayers for me, but I will be okay. I promise you. Life has been good.
Starting point is 01:04:40 This is, treatment options are great. And I think things will be great we're not going to make it the focus of my show in the future there's no need to do that so thank you all i really appreciate it i will see you all on monday good day sir you just heard dan bongino
