Episode Date: June 19, 2020

Finally, I address the latest efforts by Twitter to sabotage the Trump campaign.  News Picks: The liberal media’s hypocrisy on protests, versus Trump rallies is a sight to see.

They're using every weapon they have in their liberal media arsenal.

What weapons are those, Joe? It's dangerous. Oh, yeah. Let's use identity politics too. Of course. It may be racist to have this. Everything they have, the racist stuff,

they're really doubling and tripling down on. There are mobs descending on it. You know what the Heckler's Veto is, folks? Joe, we haven't spoken about Heckler's veto in a long time. The heckler's veto, look it up if you, because this is very important, especially if you're a conservative or libertarian, you understand this. The heckler's veto is a longtime tactic of the Alinsky left.

What they do is, I'll give you an example. Sometimes stories work better than explaining it using a dictionary definition. They'll show up at a rally of, say, conservatives, start screaming and yelling and assaulting people, causing a public safety situation. The left, that is, assaulting people, beating up the conservatives at, say, a Tea Party rally. Then the next time the Tea Party tries to hold a rally, they'll go to the police and the local political leadership and say, hey, hey, time out, No rally. This is a public safety threat. Yeah, yeah, you caused it.

You're Antifa. And what do they say? It's a public safety threat. We can't do it. So the heckler, the libs and Antifa, get to veto free speech by causing a public safety scenario. They then use as an excuse

to not let people speak. Bingo. It's tactically brilliant. Sick, disgusting, gross. But that's what they're doing here. I saw the Fox News piece. Mobs are descending on Tulsa for the Trump rally on Saturday.

Forgive me if you don't know the bet. President Trump's holding his first rally in a long time in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Saturday night. I'll be on Jesse Waters' show right before it if you want to check it out at 8 p.m eastern time this saturday forgive me if you didn't know that i should have put some context on it first now the media which has been nowhere on the protest but support him the george floyd protests some of the subsequent riots some of the subsequent crimin criminality that was an offshoot of that.

The media has been nowhere, nowhere. They're like, this is great. I mean, nowhere, in other words, calling them out and saying, hey, listen, I get you're protesting. What happened to Mr. Floyd was inexcusable, but maybe not a good idea in the middle of the coronavirus. Where is the media on that? The answer is they were nowhere. So Newsbusters, the media research center, does just terrific work. I can't hat tip them enough.

Newsbusters put out a montage, a little over a minute. Now, I want you to listen to it. Now, this is almost, again, this is one of those because we have two audiences. We have our video audience on YouTube. And then we have our audio audience on terrestrial radio and on our Apple podcast and elsewhere for the audio listeners. I want you to listen to this minute clip of media figures like, you know, discredited Chris Cuomo, Joy Reed and others. And I want you to pick out which clips are about the protests and which clips are about the Trump rally. On video, you'll get to see because there's a little headline above,

media addresses Trump rally, media addresses protests. But this is funny. It's almost better on audio because you'll figure it out in maybe five seconds in that when the media is talking about the George Floyd protest, the coronavirus, don't worry, Joe, the virus knows what rally it's at oh yeah you know it's cerebral like that it understand the virus is only going to infect trump rally the virus isn't going to infect anybody in a protest come on it's a social justice warrior virus it knows better listen to this cut again try to pick out when they're talking about the george floyd

protest versus the upcoming Trump rally. Rally time. The worst thing you could do in the middle of this pandemic. Trump is defying CDC guidelines. Trump is pretending the coronavirus has disappeared. What did it feel like to be marching arm in arm there with the police chief? A celebration. Their carnival-like atmosphere. There's a guy who has a sign that says free hugs. Music.

People are hugging. People showing up to his precious rallies might get sick. I mean, they're acknowledging they might get sick and die. Is that a smart move to have a rally during a pandemic? This is going to be a breeding ground for coronavirus. We need to stop that. We need to ban political rallies. It's a beautiful moment where people can get together.

Beautiful moment. Very touching and extraordinary. It's a beautiful moment where people can get together. Beautiful moment. Very touching and extraordinary. It's a beautiful, beautiful moment. I love you. A moment of respect and love. President Trump is still planning to hold a large campaign rallies with thousands of people packed, as he said, shoulder to shoulder.

It's unclear exactly how he can even return to these large scale events given the pandemic. Tens of thousands showed up for a march in Floyd's honor. A massive crowd, and I mean massive. Tens of thousands of protesters. Thousands and thousands. Up to 200,000 people. Public health experts are warning about the risks of gathering in crowds like the president's rally.

Health officials said the president's rally will pose a risk. Social justice over social distancing, we understand that to some extent. This week, more than a thousand physicians and healthcare professionals signed a letter supporting the demonstrators. A political rally like checks every box of risk. Stop it. Just stay home, people.

Stay home. Stay in the streets. Continue to protest. Continue to have your voices be heard. That's the crazy thing. That end clip is the Joe and I know know michael steel well yeah he is well he was that was michael steel and then a cnn commentator i'm not familiar with afterwards but fascinating michael steel who is allegedly a republican i michael and i go back a long way

we disagree on president trump but again i just that people have lost it in the era of trump schisms have developed people have lost their minds michael steele about the trump stay home people stay home cnn in the same you know in the in the clip in that clip in the montage we just put together just a minute get out there rally in the streets it's ladies and gentlemen these again i can't say to you enough it's, wouldn't you all agree listening out there, everyone in our audience, it's not that these are unserious people. We already know that. Nobody takes them seriously.

I can tell. Just look at the polls. Do you believe the media? I think Republicans, it's like 87% of people say, no, they're all full of BS all the time. We already know that. So there's nothing revelatory on my show today about, please don't believe the media. What's different about this show and what I've asked you to do over the past few weeks is, well, what are you going to do about it? And the answer is a very simple and obvious one.

The solution here is obvious. Just ignore them. And by ignore them, I don't mean you hear what they say and you discard their advice because that's not real advice. You see see that one medical guy they had on in the door in that clip i don't know if you heard it immediately he's like social justice over social distancing yeah we understand that the virus doesn't the virus doesn't have a neural network it's not the t1000 from the terminator it doesn't understand anything it's not not even alive, the virus. Did you know that? The virus isn't even alive. It's a, what, a lipid layer and an RNA sequence? It's not even alive.

Didn't know that. It doesn't understand anything. But CNN thinks it does. Yeah, social justice over social distancing. We get that. Trump rally? Don't you dare go to a Trump rally. Ignore them.

Don't click on their stuff. Don't buy their stuff. Don't share their stuff. Just leave it. Just ignore them. Again, it's not that they're unserious people. We've known that for years. That's not new. I expose them on this show just, again, to incentivize you further to take action.

Now, I'm going to get to the reasons why they're trying to stop the Trump rally, because this is important in a moment. But I want to show you how they're bringing out all the tools in the media toolbox. So what are the tools first? The tools are disinformation, threats of violence, threats that it's dangerous, racial and identity politics and Heckler's veto these are all the tools in the media toolbox

to dissuade you Republicans from doing things you're creating a public danger you're a racist it could be dangerous if you show up so it's a public safety threat all of this mobs are descending this is how they do

so let's go to the headlines again in case you think I'm making this up they are so desperate to shut this down for reasons uh we'll get to in a second here's the new york times headline too check this out let's go through them one at a time so here's the slimes here tulsa officials plead for trump to cancel rally as virus spikes in oklahoma oh my gosh plead with them they're begging York. Meanwhile, I just don't recall the New York Times stories about Mayor de Blasio pleading with protesters to social distance and stay away from each other. I don't remember that headline. Paula, do you remember that one? Did I give you that one? Paula or Joe, did you see that one? Did you read? I know Joe's an avid reader

with the New York Times. Joe uses the New York Times when he's changing his oil. That's about it. Other things. Put it on the ground a little bit. Among other things. Toilet paper's at a premium. The New York Times may come in very handy for that. So I just don't recall.

It's a Friday show, right? I just don't recall reading any of those stories about public health officials in the New York Times begging people to stay home. So we must have missed that, I'm sure, because there are serious media out there. So here's the BBC. If you can't use the, hey, it's a threat, you're all going to die, you're all going to die if you show up at this rally. If that doesn't work, we definitely have to go to the race issue. Identity politics is the only way to stop this now. Accuse everybody of derogatory racial overtones,

destructive racial animus. Here we go. BBC, Trump and Tulsa. City faces up to violent past ahead of their rally. Now, listen, to be clear, because again, we do facts on the show and the truth matters. We can use sarcasm.

This is serious. Tulsa does have a historical moment, the destruction of Black Wall Street, as they call it in Tulsa, which was candidly one of the most disturbing and underreported historical events in American history. I mean, what happened there was grotesque. Just the wiping out of one of the most prosperous, largely black areas in the United States, the wipe and the imprisonment of people. It's a horrible story. But ladies and gentlemen, the United States over its history, we've had a sordid history with race

and a lot of areas of the country have had issues. I don't understand. What are you suggesting? So any area that's had an issue involving race in the past, including areas in the South, Any area that's had an issue involving race in the past, including areas in the South, we're not supposed to hold any kind of political rallies for an election because of what happened decades ago? I'm not getting the connection. Well, the media wants to make a connection again, because what's the subtext here? Well, if this is dangerous, isn't going to work and you're all going to die, hasn't scared people away. Well, how do we know they haven't scared people away?

Because ladies and gentlemen, they've got a million RSVPs for this event in Tulsa. A million, a million. Even when I was running for Congress and we were one of the hottest races in the country, the most people I think we ever had

at an event was like a thousand. Do you know what it's like to get a million RSVPs to an event? So clearly the, you're going to die, this is dangerous, didn't work. So now they have to pull out this event, Joe, subtext here, get ready. This event is racially insensitive because there was this destructive, horrible event in Tulsa because there was this destructive, horrible event in Tulsa years and years ago. It's all they've got. It's all they've got. They don't have anything else.

Nothing they're doing is working. Let's go to another one. Here's Time Magazine. Again, got to go back to the toolbox. Identity politics. It's the tried and true. As Trump comes to Tulsa, teachers grapple with how to talk to students about the city's 1921 race massacre. Listen, there's nothing wrong with it. Matter of fact, learning from our history is important. I'm not a leftist. I don't want to destroy our history, good or bad.

That's a leftist thing, wiping out our history. A country with no history isn't a country at all. They only want to talk about the flowery stuff. They don't want to learn from the bad stuff. Good for Tulsa teachers. You want to talk about the 1921 massacre and Black Wall Street in Tulsa? That's great. I mean that. Good. If we don't learn from our history, we're, as you've heard a thousand times, sadly, many of us would be destined to repeat it. But I don't understand. We've known about the 1921 massacre since 1921. So now President Trump's showing up, and all of a sudden,

there's this new connection has to be made between President Trump and the Tulsa massacre? Why? Again, learn to read the subtext of the destructive media. I got a story later I'll show you how they will not stop until the country is at war with each other. They won't stop. They will not stop. The subtext, again, is Trump is really insensitive

because we had this incident in 1921 for coming here. There's nothing. That's the subtext. If it was anyone else, this would have never, ever come up. Anyone else on the Democrat side or Republican. Yeah, of course they would, because that's what they do. Okay. So if it's dangerous and you're going to die, it doesn't work. And identity politics and accusing Trump of being insensitive racist doesn't work. Well, then they're going to die doesn't work, and identity politics and accusing Trump of being an insensitive racist doesn't work,

well, then they're going to go to Heckler's Veto, which is their old tried-and-true public safety tactic, which they're trying to do now. The mayor of Tulsa, Oklahoma, has just declared a curfew, stating it's a public safety threat. Fox News. These articles will

all be up in the show notes, bongino.com slash newsletter, by the way. Tulsa mayor declares civil emergency ahead of Trump rally. Stragglers face arrest. Now, the Tulsa mayor is a Republican, but is under tremendous pressure right now, again, to make sure this thing does not go off. So if you were waiting online for this event, which I can only imagine happened because a million people RSVP'd, now you're going to have to go home

and lose your place in line. You can thank your Republican mayor there of Tulsa, who is, again, succumbing to pressure here from the left because they have to shut this thing down. Let's look at this snippet from the Fox News piece to show you what the Heuchler's veto, how it works. I have received information information the mayor said from the tulsa pd and other law enforcement agencies that shows that individuals from organized groups joe who've been involved in destructive and violent behavior in

other states are planning to travel to tulsa to cause unrest around the rally okay so get your police department out there and shut it down that That's the job, right? Public safety? Yeah. So you shut the rally down and the people on the line at the rallies by declaring a curfew instead? So you punish the peaceful people out there to rally and assemble, you know, like the Constitution thing, assemble, petition, assemble. I'm not sure the Oklahoma, I don't know if they know anything about that, the Tulsa, I'm not really sure if he's heard of that thing constitution first amendment so shut them down send them home but yes let the violent anarchists flow right into the city and do what they need to do brilliant plan well well done well done idiots gosh we're dealing with morons all right why are they doing this all right i'm going to go through a number of reasons why these idiots. Gosh, we're dealing with morons. All right.

Why are they doing this? All right. I'm going to go through a number of reasons why these rallies are such a potent weapon and why the media is terrified. Let me just get to my second sponsor.

Tommyohn.com slash dan 20 off site wide tommyjohn.com slash dan c site for details all right so here's why they want to stop these rallies ladies and gentlemen these trump rallies number one the president feeds off the energy he does i mean i don't know i don't know how to say this but i sounded like a pretentious jerk. So I'm going to try to massage it a little bit.

But having some access to the president's inner circle of people, you get a different take on the administration than what the media does. Because the media's sources are all, I'm telling you, they're all garbage. Whenever you read a story in the New York Times, anonymous sources say,

I can almost guarantee you it's always nonsense. I have actual real sources, people who deal and talk with the president. One of them I have on my interview show this weekend, Scott Turner, who works in the White House now with the president. He's on with Keira Davis. He gives a unique input into how the president thinks. They will tell you in mass, all of them, real sources, the president absolutely feeds off the energy in the crowds he does it energizes him it's almost like one of those you know those power you know in a video game when you do those like a shooter video games and you shoot the box and you get energies and energy and life and stuff it goes up

that's about in the rally like the energy levels down down down you'd play in like halo or whatever and boom all of a sudden you get the energy box. They know it. They don't want him energized. They want him stuck in the Oval Office where, candidly, he's miserable. It's not miserable because he's the president. He's miserable because the president likes being around people. If you've ever met the president, many of you have. Some of you met him at rallies.

Some of you have seen him at rallies. He has to be around people. His very life essence depends on it. I'm serious. He loves these. He feeds off the energy. It gives him a new life and a new vigor for the campaign. He craves it.

The media doesn't want that. They need him shut down and silenced, unenergetic, lethargic in the White House, lounging in the chair, hopefully like eating a bowl of Cheetos and not doing anything. They don't want him energized at all. They don't want him out there with an espresso out in a crowd, giving his speeches, energizing him because that's what he does. They hate it. They want him sitting back in the Oval, eating his dindins and not doing anything.

I'm not kidding. They're terrified he's going to start showing up in your town, getting a million people to RSVP and energize the country again. Hence the toolbox. It's dangerous. You're going to die. You're a racist. The mobs are coming in.

It's going to get worse. By the way, expect a series of studies after the Tulsa rally. Studies, air quotes. Joe, studies. Yes. You know, science. Science.

Dreaded air quotes. Expect a series of very scientific studies after Tulsa, Joe, showing that President Trump killed people at the rally. Guaranteed. Paula, mark it. Because when it happens, we're going to show it. There will be a ton of articles.

I guarantee. Ignore them. They're not real. It's all nonsense. You are going to see President Trump definitely killed this lady at the Tulsa rally. Paula, remind me. Can you please take a note on that? You will see.

When I show the story. What's the date? What is the date today? Today is June 19th. Juneteenth, by the way. All right, I'm sorry, folks. I had a, this is one of the few times in the show I had to lose track because we had like a technical malfunction behind me.

So I'm going to cut back in and it's going to be the weirdest cut ever for the show, but that's how it's going to go down. So POTUS feeds off, the president feeds off the energy. It's really important. Okay, number two, why do they want to stop it? Because it creates a local news monopoly. When the president shows up in your town with Air Force One and he shows up at the airport, you get a number of hits.

Let me explain to you behind the scenes how this stuff works. From my prior line of work, haven't worked in the White House for a Republican and Democrat administration. What they do, the press pool that travels with the president, they have these P press passes. They go everywhere with the president. Well, almost everywhere, right? What happens on the ground is the press pen where they keep the press.

You know, for that shot, the president gets off Air Force One. How do they get that shot? Because they're in the press pen on a riser, an actual elevated platform to get that photo that's broadcast everywhere in Oklahoma. It creates a local news monopoly. But what they do in the press pen is the DC media, which hates the president, the press pool, hate him. They can't stand him. Local media outlets get what's called a PL pass, let's get what's called a PL pass, press local. They get to sit in the pool. That local coverage is usually not, the president's a racist, he hates you, he's a moron,

we can't sit, because they're not in the DC bubble. A lot of the local press are actually very fair. They're not interested in crapping all over the president all day. So not only do you create a local news monopoly where you are the story in all of Oklahoma during a rally, again, this is why the media is terrified. Not only you create a local news monopoly, but you create actual fair media coverage. A lot of people still watch their local news. I need to watch it more. We don't watch it enough. You'll get relatively fair coverage most of the time, not all the time. That drives the media crazy. They want to control the message, not you.

They want Jim Acosta telling you about the rally. But again, remember that. I'm telling you, mark the date, June 19th. Mark the date. That's where we were before. You will see these stories afterwards. I guarantee you that the president killed people at the rally. Okay, another reason.

They don't want the contrast. Ladies and gentlemen, you know what the foil effect is? A foil, right? You put a diamond on a black background. Why don't you put it on a white background? Because the luster and shine of the diamond is more pronounced against a dark background. Creates contrast. We as human beings, our neural network picks up contrast.

It's not easy to detect movement in a crowd. It is easy, however, to detect movement if you're looking out in a desert on a flat plane. Because the movement's contrasted against nothing else moving. When something's moving against other moving objects, it's still moving the same way, but you don't see it as easily because there's no contrast. The contrast of President Trump packing an arena with dedicated supporters versus Joe Biden at a picnic table in his backyard with five or six people, ladies and gentlemen, is devastating. The media can't avoid that.

They're going to have to run the pictures. You understand that? They have to. So you have Joe Biden in his basement with four or five people eating turkey sandwiches. Hey, fellas, what do you think of my basement? Here's a picture of me with Barack. You see that? Well, look at that. Here's a picture of me with Barack again. Here's a picture. That's all he's got. Picnic table, four or five people showing him legacy photos in his man cave of his time with Barack Obama. He doesn't have anything. Joe Biden, we turn out more people at a book signing

than Joe Biden turns out his presidential rallies. By the way, that's not a joke. We had 800 people in the villages in our last book in Florida. I think that's more than most Biden rallies. They can't, she's laughing, but it's true. She knows it, Paula. The contrast is devastating.

The media can't have those pictures. They don't want that. So the liberal media activists, again, back to the toolbox. All of the tools. It's dangerous. You're a racist. Mobs are descending. Mobs are descending on Tulsa.

Here's an important one. Sorry, it's a long segment, but it's critical. We got an election coming up. Data mining. Data's expensive, folks. Really expensive. Like, super expensive. To go get voter data is expensive. You have to pay for it. If you run for office, you know this. I have. For me to get first, why do you want data? Because you want to know who votes. When I ran in Maryland statewide, Maryland has got millions of people, but those millions of people don't vote. maybe half of them do in an election, maybe a quarter in other elections. You don't want to waste campaign money, sending flyers and commercials over TV to people who don't care and aren't going to vote.

It's a waste of time. Well, Joe is the audience referee here. Yes, sir. You're with me, right? Yes,

he is. He's here after it's actually was a TV malfunction behind me. Some of you may have caught it quick. If Paula doesn't edit it, sir. You're with me, right? Yes, he is. He's here. It actually was a TV malfunction behind me. Some of you may have caught it quick if Paula doesn't edit it right. Some of you may not have. But it's super, super expensive for you to try to reach people that don't vote. And it's a waste of your campaign assets. You want to send targeted mailers to people who actually vote. You know what?

I'm speaking by the way, in front of Congress again today at noon. If those of you are interested, here's my speech next to me. I'd give you a preview, but I'm not sure I'm allowed. So that's what this paper I was going to grab for. I was going to put it up,

realize it was my speech and I can't do it. But if you send a mailer out the size of like an eight by 12, that's expensive. An eight by 11 piece of of paper that's super expensive now joe let me ask you a question yeah sorry i get a little do you think the people showing up at a trump rally in the middle of the wuhan virus do you think they're gonna vote just not a trick. Just a quick question. Well, Dan, I'd say they're probably likely voters. It is best Friday game show voice, Joe. Yes, you'd be correct. Thanks, Wink.

Thanks, Wink. We need like Vanna White to turn letters in the background. Thanks, Wink, with a little sign. Yes, of course they're going to vote. As I said to you, if you want the president to win, I know many of you are concerned about your data.

Understood. I get it. That's why I'm involved in a number of different projects now. Having said that, if you're serious about the president winning, give them your data. I don't mean give them your bank account, your social security number. Give them your cell phone and give them your email. If you want them to win. If you don't, then don't.

Because then they're going to pay to get it anyway so you might as well give it to them if you want to vote and you're serious about it if you're not and listen i'll say that for any candidate democrat republican whatever if you're serious you got to give up your data they want to contact you democracy matters it's expensive. Do you understand the data mining that goes on at these events? How many people show up where they give their data, their email? Do you know the value in that? The media is panicked.

They don't want to hear about any of it. All right. Two more quick ones. It's new volunteers. Ladies and ladies and gentlemen volunteers matter you got to have poll workers you got to have door knockers you got to have sign waivers well what better pool of new volunteers than a million people who just rsvp'd to show up at a trump rally no better pool than that and finally new donors folks i don't make a lot of campaign donations just because of my new connection to news and things like that but i made one the other day the pretty substantial one it's you can check it out yourself it'll be in the fec it's not a secret um but you got to donate i know times are tough i get it but money matters and anyone who tells

you money doesn't matter in politics candid candidly, is lying to you. They're just lying. I'm not telling you who to donate to. I'm not advocating on behalf of any specific campaign. I'm just suggesting to you, if you support a candidate, whatever party you do, money matters. And even if it's 10 bucks, it makes a huge difference. And what better pool for new donors than a Trump rally,

where you can get people's information and ask them if you'd be willing to financially support the campaign. That's why the media toolbox is out. They must stop this thing, but they won't. I'm begging the president's team, plow straight ahead. Just ignore them. These are not serious people. Don't treat them as such all right moving on because we got a lot more to get to including yeah just a killer video next of john bolton basically admitting yeah of course i'd lie if i thought i was protecting national security seriously his words not mine today should also bring to my friends that we the people holsters listen if the covid warning wasn't enough the last two weeks have reminded

Some of the best holsters in the business. We love them. Okay. So, you know, I discussed Bolton yesterday. John Bolton, who put a book out, you know, what happened in the room, whatever. I don't even care about what the title is. And I found it kind of ironic that a lot of the conversations were John Bolton not being in the room, but being, is getting the information from someone else who alleges they were in the room. Just fascinating. I should just write a book. You know, I thought about this yesterday,

right? I'm sitting there, I'm in the shower after, and I'm like, I do a lot of thinking in the shower. You know, I was sitting there in the warm water, my arthritis and everything makes me feel a little better. And I'm thinking, you know, I thinking in the show you know I sit in there in the warm water my arthritis and everything makes me feel a little better and I'm thinking you know I was in the Obama White House I know some stuff maybe I should just write a book too and write in the room maybe I remember I don't have to be in the room according to Bolton you just have to like know someone who says he was in the room maybe I should too not my kind of bag of donuts but John Bolton doesn't really care because John Bolton is a grifter. And John Bolton, you know, John Bolton was in the 70s.

He doesn't care anymore. He's trying to cash out, do his thing. So I don't believe Bolton. I'll say that right now. I don't believe anything John Bolton says. But here's John Bolton in an older Fox clip with Judge Napolitano saying that, yeah, he's perfectly willing to lie if he thinks he's protecting national security. And before we play the clip, I'll ask you the question, does John Bolton hate Trump so much in his foreign policy decisions that he thinks he's protecting

national security now? Check out this cut. I want to make the case for secrecy in government when it comes to the conduct of national security affairs and possibly for deception where that's appropriate. You know, Winston Churchill said during World War Two that in wartime, truth is so important it should be surrounded by a bodyguard of lies. Do you really believe that? Absolutely. You would lie in order to preserve the truth. If I had to say something I knew was false to protect American national security, I would do it. Not my words.

Johnny B himself. Johnny Bag of Donuts. So, again, I ask you, he seemed to be upset that President Trump wasn't willing to bomb Iran and, you know, every other country on Earth and other Earths and other universes. You believe in string theory, other other universes. He wants to go outside the Milky Way, cosmic level bombing of everyone. Bomb everyone all the time. Why stop in the Milky Way?

Let's go on to other constellations and let's bomb comets and planets and moons and suns and start bomb everything, all of them. Let's mine rare earth minerals from comets to get the weapons to bomb the comets after. The guy wants to bomb everyone trump doesn't want to bomb everybody all the time matter of fact stopped the bombing a raid on iran at the last minute which pissed off john balton so again i say to you is bolton

think he's protecting national security now by making up stories to damage trump right before the election it's a fair question is it not he just said it again it's not my words it's his words fair question all right moving on we've covered him for the last two days i'm done with this guy all right as i said to you before the media is just not going to stop during the trump administration by the way if a democrat like if biden gets in office this inciting of racial animus in the country will stop will Will stop. Nationally, because then it'll have to be blamed on Biden. And they won't do that. Unless they can

blame it on a Republican. But it won't stop while President Trump is in office. The media will not stop until racial animus is at its peak. That's their only goal. It's just disgusting and gross. You don't believe me? Look at this CBS headline. You read this headline, Joe.

Any sane person's like, oh my gosh, that's really horrible. This is an actual headline. We didn't doctor this. CBS News. Deputies kill half-brother of a black man found hanged in a park after they say he opened fire. Oh my gosh.

Yeah. I mean, seriously, you read that and you're like, whoa. Yes. Yeah. Man, that's really awful. That's just terrible. And you're like, gosh, that's the racial connotations there are just unbelievable. And then you get to the story and you read that the headline is just a little bit different than what actually happened.

Detectives with the Sheriff's Major Crimes Unit, by the way, you have to read down before you get past the headline, were tracking a man who was wanted for kidnapping, spousal assault, assault with a deadly weapon. But when they tried to stop his car, he opened the door and began shooting, authorities said. Context, maybe, folks. But context, of course, is lost when you're CBS

and you want to make sure there's racial overtones to everything. Just reading their own story. My gosh, horrifying. Okay, because it's Friday and I don't want to leave any information and my daughter has a surf competition today so my why everybody wish her well my daughter amelia she's gonna be uh she's gonna be a surfer i think she likes it so paula's gotta jet out to that today so we had to record a little early hence Hence the show. And I have to test it. I got this thing. I got to testify in front of Congress too at noon.

So that'll be interesting too. Back again for that. But this is an important story. The DACA ruling yesterday, the Supreme Court, Wall Street Journal has some of the best coverage I've seen on it yet. Yeah.

And Wall Street Journal's, you know, they're iffy on the immigration issue, but their story at the end, by the editorial board is spot on. Headline on DACA, Obama can, but Trump can't? The Supreme Court endorses a double regulatory standard. So what really happened yesterday with the DACA ruling,

and now John Roberts, forget John Roberts, he's a full liberal now. He's at the swing vote. Stop calling John Roberts a swing vote. He's a liberal. But he was appointed by Bush. It doesn't matter. He's a full-blown lib now. He's a full-blown liberal. He's not a swing vote. He's a liberal, but he was appointed by Bush. It doesn't matter. He's a full-blown lib now. He's a full-blown liberal. He's not a swing vote. So they voted yesterday that President Obama's DACA ruling, the Deferred Arrivals and Childhood Amnesty,

Childhood Arrivals, you know the program where kids who came here 16 or younger with their parents but were in the country illegally, they would actually be issued paperwork to stay in the United States and totally breaking our immigration laws. Obama himself has admitted he can't do this. In video, it's been all over the news. You've heard I play it today, but we're short on time. Obama admitted he can't do this. He can't create new categories of rights

that don't exist legally. But he did it anyway. He didn't follow any of the guidelines. He just said, no, if you come here illegally, this is the essence of it, and you meet these criteria I set, I've now created a new class of U.S. residents. That's what Obama did.

Totally against the law. He even admitted it. Case goes all the way to Supreme Court. John Roberts says, listen, remember, liberal John Roberts, don't ever mention this guy in the word conservative says, listen, remember, liberal John Roberts, don't ever mention this guy in the word conservative again, says in a 5-4 ruling,

well, even though Obama really can't do that and it's not legal, Trump can't undo it unless he follows the rules. This is the perfect time for the gavel. So here's Roberts. I'm a moron. Case is closed. What? Alito, Thomas, they were like, you know, actual conservative justices who believe in that thing,

you know, the Constitution. I know it's crazy. Supreme Court just haven't understood the Constitution at all. Alito and Thomas are like, wait, let me get this straight. So you're admitting Obama instituting DACA and creating this new class of American residents who don't have to follow the law is totally illegal. But when President Trump recognizes the illegality and stops it, he can't because he has to follow the legal process to make illegality non-legal legal.

Everybody was like scratching their heads like huh here's a couple screenshots from the wall street journal who sums it up beautifully pretty much justice roberts joined the four i love this join the four liberals he is a liberal let me rephrase that this is not chief justice roberts along with his liberal pals now back to the journal because i don't want to misquote the wall street journal but I'm adding that. As he so often has in ruling that the Trump administration hadn't properly followed the Administrative Procedures Act. In other words, Trump administration didn't follow the rules when calling out illegality. The court remanded the rescission back to DHS to rewrite with a formal rulemaking with notice and comment period.

Hold that up there a second. So let me get this straight, they say. So the president didn't follow the rules that Obama didn't follow, but what Obama did was clearly illegal. So the president has to go back and follow the rules? They go on, they say, this may seem routine, but the problem's this. The Obama administration never followed the rules either when it issued DACA in 2012.

DACA was never tested in court, but the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in 2015 issued an injunction against the companion order to DACA. The Supreme Court upheld that injunction, and the Trump administration had every reason to believe DACA was less illegal too. The court system rules a companion to DACA is illegal. The court system rules a companion to DACA is illegal. Justice Roberts acknowledges that the Obama administration did not follow the rules when instituting the illegal DACA program and says, no, we can't stop it though, because the Trump administration, when they're trying to stop the illegality, we've recognized as illegal

and said as illegal, unless they follow legal rulemaking that the Obama administration didn't follow when they made the rule. If this thing was like, I do a Dracula impale myself moment right now. This is the only way to save yourself from the stupid. Try the stake to the heart. There's no other way to kill the stupid at this point. This is unbelievable. What are we talking about we live in like bizarro superman land where everything's upside down i as i always say we live in the sign remember the seinfeld episode george does everything backwards everything curses out

his boss he gets a promotion this is what's happening roberts joins joins the liberals happening. Roberts joins, joins the liberals. That's hilarious. John Roberts is more liberal than the liberals. I think Sonia Sotomayor is more of a conservative than John Roberts. He should step down like yesterday. There's more from the journal piece.

Believe it or not, this actually gets worse. I know it's hard to believe it does you're like roberts is an even bigger disappointment of course the practical consequence of this ruling is that a president that this is the good part this is the good there is it you just said it got worse it does but out of it's always darkest right before dawn to be very dramatic and quote terrible songs the practical consequence practical consequence of the ruling is that a president can create unlawful policy without legislation from congress but joseph a future president cannot lawfully undo it now without first jumping through regulatory hoops that can take years. Oh, well, what's the consequence of that, folks? Well, this is an invitation for executive mischief,

especially by presidents at the end of their terms. They'll issue executive orders that will invite years of legal challenges if the next president reverses them. Oh, Johnny Roberts didn't think of that one, did he? The ruling is in. John Roberts is not too bright. He didn't. You get where they were going with this, right?

Yeah. So now if you can institute an executive order like Obama did, DACA, these kids get to stay here even though they didn't follow the rules. I'm not arguing the merits or non-merits of it. I'm talking about the process. Obama acknowledged himself he can't do that, but he did it anyway. Illegally created a new class of American residents, totally illegal, as acknowledged by the courts and Obama himself. So Obama breaks the rules, does something he can't do.

The courts are now saying, no, no, you can't immediately undo that illegality that unauthorized activity unless you pitch it through the courts and you do it exactly by the rulemaking process which takes forever to undo so johnny robs didn't think of this one did he well i got a great idea i know what you'll say you're like dan, Dan, we have to be, you know, on the upside of this. We have to, ah, I'm not, take that somewhere else.

New rules, folks, are in effect. The left wants to play by a new set of rules. We can play by them too. So the new set of rules are just announce a bunch of executive orders you have no authority to do, announce them anyway, and let the next presidential administration sue,

and for two or three years they can work it through the courts. Okay, let's do that too. New rules, right? That's the rules we're playing by. That's it, right? So we're supposed to be like, no, we need to be the morally upstanding,

we need to be higher on the moral totem pole. We do. Why? Why exactly do we need to, so we're supposed to let the country dissipate and collapse into legislative anarchy where we have an effective monarch now when you're a Democrat. So Obama is a monarch. He can do whatever he wants. Trump can't legally undo it. And we're supposed to let this continue. So Joe Biden can what next come in and just say executive order,

all guns are banned. Never hold up in court, but it doesn't matter, Joe. It'll take three years before it goes away. If a Republican president gets elected next and rescinds it, if we're lucky enough. So if those are the rules, let's take those rules and make the Democrats eat those rules themselves. My suggestion, if we're going to do this, and this is John Roberts' new policy, you know, John, John, big law and order guy, John Roberts, right? Conservative, constructionist. I suggest the president issue a bunch of new executive orders. I would suggest one on national reciprocity for carrying your firearm. Just do it. Who needs a legislator? John Roberts just said it. You don't need just issue executive order they'll figure it out later don't worry about it well that's a good one right joe

reciprocity i mean why should florida residents have to be subjected to new york new york's uh anti-firearm anti-second amendment laws why why i mean we're citizens of the united states that's right just issue that one so that'd be i should write these down it's actually a good idea reciprocity because i may forget i may suggest this to the trump administration what do you number two folks i'm actually thinking this out on the air. If you have suggestions, email us. I'm happy to hear them. Let's do another one.

Executive order number two. Let's cut the top tax rate to 20%. Dan, you can't do that. You need... We can. Roberts just said we can. He said, don't worry. The courts will figure it out later.

Don't worry. Roberts will figure it out. don't worry roberts will figure it so rest in prophecy i got another one three i'm seriously writing this down not a joke obamacare repeal obamacare by executive order dan you can't do that it's a lot there are no laws anymore we have a monarch obama monarch executive order then you have to go through the process later don't worry about that lost them forget it repeal obamacare what else what ah ah here we go national school choice for every state i'm mr trump if you're listening i know sometimes your staff watches my show can we do these executive can we line them up tee them up right now tee them up today yeah national

school choice everywhere joe, don't worry. It's going to take five years to work its way through the course. By that time, these kids will already be in schools. So don't even worry about it. And they'll actually be learning something. Paul, any suggestions on this one? Anyone in the audience? Any more suggestions?

Okay. Big fire on. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Five. Last one. I'm a pro-lifer. Always have been. Conception to natural death.'m a pro-lifer. Always have been. Conception to natural death.

Definitely national pro-life legislation. This is 100%. It's not even legislation. It's an executive order. But again, we don't need legislation. John Roberts said so. So national advocacy on behalf. We could do a bunch of things.

Get rid of Planned Parenthood, federal funding, all that. Executive, just do it. Executive order. We don't legislation. Forget all that stuff. What do you think, Joe? You like my new proposal? Yeah, I think it's cool. I love it. Pretty. It's cool. Folks, new rules, babe. As Joe would say, babe, new rules. You want to play by these new rules? rules, babe, as Joe would say, babe, new rules. You want to play by these new rules? John Roberts'

new rules are, hey, executive orders, no matter how illegal, you still can't undo them unless you work your way through the whole court system, which could take years. Okay, we can play by those rules too. Folks, I'm not kidding. I'm not joking. Roberts just said it. It's all cool. You know, what the kids say, cool, cool, cool, cool. It's all cool now. We should do it too. Of course, the country will collapse and fall apart, but that doesn't, you know, the courts. What does John Roberts care about any of that stuff? All right, final sponsor, and then what else we got? I got a lot more lined up here.

Should we get to the DMP stuff? Oh, the Twitter war heating up. All right, let me get to this last sponsor. Today's show, Boss of Arts, brought to you by our friends at Ashford.

So Twitter now is just all in on, I'm not kidding, they're all in on President Trump losing this election. They've given up any pretense of objectivity whatsoever.

They just don't care. Again, I have a financial stake in their now hot competitor, Parler. So I appreciate everyone who joined up. It's only fair to disclose that. Having said that, my war against Twitter is nothing new. You guys have known about this for probably four or five years now where I've been talking about it. Story in the Washington Examiner up at the show to us today. Twitter escalates their crackdown on Trump tweets by labeling a video they put up as, quote, manipulated. Here's the backstory. President Trump tweeted out a video

from our friend Logan. He put out a video of, there were these two young kids, one's black, one's white. And in the beginning, they show you some footage of the young black child who's running and the young white child is running after him. So the way Logan spliced it, it's like, look, racism in kids, like a CNN story, it's meant to be a parody. What really happened is the two

kids were hugging. When you see the video afterwards, we're hugging and then they started chasing each other. So it's meant to be kind of a takeoff on CNN's fake news. Well, the president retweeted it. Meanwhile, there are videos like that all over Twitter, including manipulated commercials now trying to make people believe the president said things at that incident years ago that he didn't say. But those aren't labeled manipulated. It's only President Trump's videos. Why are they doing this? Folks, I'm telling you, I know this.

Twitter has given up completely on any air of being objective. They're all in on taking the president's team down. All of them. They're assuming he's not going to get elected again. They're assuming they're going to have protection from the Democrats. It's over. The only solution, again, the only solution for them now is to just make them irrelevant. Join us over a parlor.

Again, my skin's in the game now. Please. We're at the forefront of this fight. We've had about enough of this stuff. It's just ridiculous. All right, enough on that i don't want to beat that up should i do this heritage thing what china you like that story all right well i'll leave it up no i'll let paula make the decision i had a katherine heritage tweet i'll get

to it next week i have some it's an interesting update people are finally catching on to the spy gate story and the central role of halper, but I'll have to get that on Monday. All right, last story of the day, because I've been hearing about this for years, and it kind of freaked out Paula this morning. So I'm going to go order some more of my emergency food today. I'm not even kidding. Story of the Washington Examiner. Please read this. This is the show notes.

Seriously. Again, Bongino.com slash newsletter for the show notes, or you can just go to the examiner direct by our good friend, Paul Bedard. Really troubling story. China develops weapons to fry the U S electric grid and eyes, a high tech Pearl Harbor, like attack folks. This is a really, I hate to leave you on a Friday with this, but it's if we prepare and we're aware of what's going on and I don't want to

get anybody scared, then it won't be the catastrophe. China wants it to be.. I don't want to get anybody scared. Then it won't be the catastrophe China wants it to be. If we don't, it'll be apocalyptic. I have been warned about an EMP attack on the United States for years. It's an electromagnetic pulse attack. The way they would do it, these foreign countries, which you can read in the article, everybody knows that it's not some kind of a trade secret for our enemies, is to detonate a nuclear device atmospherically, which would essentially fry our electric grid. Fry it.

Can you imagine, just for a moment, imagine life with no electric? It would fry the transformers, fry your circuits, fry your house, car batteries, you name it, you'd be finished. If it doesn't have some kind of uh what a faraday cage around it yeah and everything would be fried everything would be that was interesting you joe's a little jump the gun on that joe jumped the gun on the good day sir i'm sorry sir i heard that that's okay you can leave it in because i don't want to make too many edits it's fine sometimes this stuff happens during the show but if you don't put a Faraday cage around Joe's hand,

he will jump the gun on the good day. So on Friday, just like if you don't put them around our transformers. Now, what's the problem folks, obviously not having electricity would mean Joe, correct me if I'm wrong, no refrigeration,

right? Right. Thank you. Which would probably mean no food for a lot of people which would probably result in just a few weeks in a number of deaths probably in the millions not kidding i have been warned about this for paula said to me this morning when i sent her a search she was didn't you tell me about this like 10 years ago there's a guy i'm not gonna name him but he was a former reagan administration official i'm friendly with him now but i used to talk to him a lot and he told me

this is his single biggest fear it's an atmospheric emp attack because folks we don't have the manufacturing capabilities the manufacturers wouldn't have electric either remember right we don't even have the manufacturing capabilities to rebuild the transformers it could be seriously a decade before the united states had some semblance of a national power grid again this is not a joke man this is a serious story now from the washington examiner piece this is the china the china's plan here it says according to a report from the independent emp task force on national and homeland security china's built a network of satellites high-speed missiles and super electromagnetic pulse weapons that can melt down the u.s electric network fry critical communications and stifle aircraft carrier groups. Folks, we'd barely be able to

even respond. Now, the good news, again, because it is Friday, President Trump, unlike, I'm not kidding, every prior president, Republican and Democrat, who have largely ignored this problem, President Trump is focused like a laser on it. I'm not kidding. He's got teams working on it. They're working on countermeasures. It's not going to happen overnight, but this is a serious, serious threat. Now, I'll leave you with this because I got to run, but Paul had said to me this morning, why is it that nothing's been done sooner about this known threat? I mean, we wouldn't let anyone threaten us with nuclear weapons without a counterattack plan, but we're letting them threaten

our entire civilization's electric grid with no plan? The reason, ladies and gentlemen, I heard, and the email's always open for you to email us, but from the person I told you about before who's the subject matter expert on this, is there's this friction

between electric companies and the federal government. Who's going to be responsible for the billions of dollars in investment to fortify the grid? And it's been stifling progress. This is no time for that. This is a clear-cut national security issue. Gosh, if we can spend money on all kinds of other things, we can certainly, if we can spend money on shrimp running on treadmill studies, we can harden up our electric grid.

Serious stuff. Read the story, though. Up in the show notes. It's definitely worth your time. All right, folks, thanks again for tuning in. It's been a really great week. I appreciate it.
