about this all the time, that the media story, whenever there's a huge conservative scandal, right? Yeah. Excuse me, a Democrat scandal. Either. The media strategy is this. Drag out the scandal as long as possible with the drip, drip, drip, drip, drip. Don't let major bombshell stories launch at any given time. Launch a little snippet here, a little snippet there. And then what happens? After two years of drip, drip, drips, they did this with Benghazi. They did this with the IRS. They're trying to do

it with the Spygate scandal. They did it with the collusion hoax when that was all uncovered. At the end of a couple of years, they say, what? Time to move on. This is old news, folks. And it's not old news. It's the drip, drip, drip. You're seeing it right now.

Look at this guy. Now, this guy's not a journalist, to be fair. He's a terrible comedian, Stephen Colbert. But he scored an interview with Biden, with Joe Biden. In the interview, you would think one of the first questions, even if you were a terrible comedian like Stephen Colbert, you would think you would ask a question about the sun and say, hey, you know, can you just explain what's going on with Hunter, right? You don't even have to be at adversarial about it. He's not really a journalist, right? Well, what does he do?

He does the Republicans pounce and he doesn't even hide it. He doesn not really a journalist, right? But what does he do? He does the Republicans pounce and he doesn't even hide it. He doesn't even hide Republicans pounce. Listen to the question. I am so tired of this. Stephen Colbert, Stephen Colbert doesn't care about Hunter Biden's dealings with China and this whole big scandal and the big guy, Joe Biden, get money. All he cares about is the Republican response. This is the worst Republicans pounce I have ever seen. Check this out. As much as you don't want it to happen, you know that the people who want to make hay in Washington are going to try to use your adult son as a cudgel against you. How do you feel about that? And what do you have to say to those people? Well, look, I have we have great confidence in our son.

I am not concerned about any accusations made against him. It's used to get to me. I think it's kind of foul play. But look, it is what it is. And he's a grown man. He is the smartest man i know i mean in front of pure intellectual capacity wow daddy uh you know before we get to the republicans pounds part of my because i gotta get into this other stuff i don't think he's hunter biden is the smartest man you know as my wife reminded me this morning before the show have you seen the pictures on his laptop you're you're you're

running to be president of the united states you may have won an election maybe joe you conceding yet no uh no no no that is next week look next week. Me either. I'm not conceding anything. Trump should not concede anything, by the way. Okay. But you may be president of the United States and the dude in the pictures. Have you seen the pictures, folks? Hunter Biden may have been a gymnast in a prior life. You're like, wow, is that guy flexible?

Amazing what he can do. And he's got partners in his gymnastics. That's the smartest dude you know so just to be clear this guy may be president of the united states is appointing a consortium of people to his cabinet to run the largest most powerful country on earth and get hands on the nuclear codes and yet the smartest dude you know is the gymnast if you know what i mean that's only that's not even the worst part the worst part of it is colbert you hear the question republicans are going to use this as a cudgel i'm so tired of the republicans pound stuff it is so

yesterday and it's just he just openly comes out with it it's not about hunter it's about our reaction to it all right moving i just want to throw that out there because it is friday to give you a little tragic comic relief let me get into this this is going to be long but you need to hear this and it's going to end with the absolute coup de grace of all time it may get get me in trouble, but we'll have to see. My wife is terrified already. So yesterday we found out through some new FBI texts that finally we're on earth. Finally, I say, because what? What's the strategy, Joe? Drip it out over two years and pretend we're all going to forget, right? And then say, move on. It's old news. I'm not moving on. A text came out out yesterday i'll get to in a little bit john

solomon has it it's just the news showing that the obvious none of this is breaking you already knew this but that the fbi basically knew the collusion hoax was fake the whole time dan why are we covering that we all knew that already well now we have it down on paper and it explains a whole lot let's start from the beginning what was so if the fbi we now know according to this text i'll get to in a little bit we now know the fbi knows this whole donald trump colluded with the russians thing is fake why would they do this why would people in the obama administration and the clinton campaign continue to push forward with a collusion hoax they knew was fake. Part one.

Ladies and gentlemen, Lee Smith has a damning piece that is so unbelievably good. It is up in the show notes today, bongino.com slash newsletter. My newsletter is the show notes. Please read it. It is a must read. The collusion hoax, ladies and gentlemen, was always an insurance policy because Hillary Clinton's emails were going to get out there.

Lee Smith, December 16, 2020 in the Epoch Times. Russian collusion wasn't about Donald Trump. It was designed to protect Hillary Clinton. This is an assertion me, Lee, and others have put out there for a long time. Now I'm going to put meat on the bone and show you why this does. Now you may say, why are you following this up after a piece on Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and Stephen Colbert? Because Biden's involved in this too, ladies and gentlemen, understand what I'm getting at. Paula, Joe, double ombudsman here. Get it, get it. Let me lay it down. You give me a head nod that you understand.

The whole collusion hoax, Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to impact the election and release Hillary's emails was always made up. Everybody knew it. And the only reason they did it was because they knew Hillary Clinton's emails were out there that the Russians probably had them. Those emails were going to be really damaging and they had to find a way to get others to cover Donald Trump rather than cover Hillary Clinton's emails. Everybody get it? Yeah. Make sense? Okay. Yeah. Moving on. Screenshot number one from Lee Smith's piece where he lays this out beautifully. Quote, Barack Obama's spy chiefs never,

never believed Donald Trump was a Russian spy. Okay. Yeah, absolutely. The Trump-Russia collusion narrative originated as a diversionary tactic in the event emails from Hillary Clinton's private email server went public. What the hell's in those emails, folks? How is Joe Biden involved?

We'll get to that. Keep that in your melon. FBI headquarters attached itself to this project, devoting manpower and resources to investigating Trump when the FBI learned that foreign intelligence services had her correspondences. So foreign governments may have had Hillary's emails. What was in there was there

some uranium one stuff in there uranium whoa hold on hold on time out so now we know lee is right total scam collusion hoax scam because hillary's really nasty emails foreign governments probably have them and if you see what's in those emails it's's going to be really bad for Hillary and the Democrats in 2016. So let's get out ahead of this and say, Trump's colluding with a foreign government to release the emails. That way the press covers that instead. Beautiful, beautiful, tragic, beautiful, but elegant in its sophistication.

Seriously. These people are devious little blankers. Screenshot two from Lee Smith's piece. little blankers. Screenshot two from Lee Smith's piece. This week, so Lee's got a source in the intel community. This is all new, folks. This isn't old.

But why are you covering this again? Because this is new. Lee has got a former senior intelligence official. Lee Smith has always been on top of this. In the Obama administration, who for some reason, speaking to him, confirmed to him, to Lee, that in the lead up to the 2016 election, elements of the US intel community informed the FBI

that the Democrat candidate Hillary's emails had been compromised. They concluded there were approximately 30,000 emails in the possession of foreign entities, said this Obama official. Wow, that sounds really bad, folks. Quote, he went on, this intelligence official. The FBI was provided with digital copies of some of those. Wait, what? Oh, what was in those emails? And then evaluated the emails, determining their veracity and identifying what sensitive issues were being addressed. The FBI had been informed of this prior to Jim Comey's July 5th press conference exonerating Hillary Clinton. So the FBI now we know has already seen these emails that foreign governments had that Hillary Clinton claimed disappeared.

You know, the one she destroyed the BlackBerrys, hammered them, used the bleach bit system on them to wipe them out. Remember those emails that she had that Platte River and all those other companies. She had them all disappeared, if you know what I mean. She had the emails suicided. They killed themselves, the emails. Foreign governments had those, and the FBI knew.

What was in those? What was in them there emails? What was up in them, their hills? Let's go to part three of Lee Smith's piece where we see the seamless transition, by the way, the FBI, who's clearly in on this at the upper levels, the seamless transition, Joe, from Hillary Clinton's email scandal and her private server and that investigation known as mid-year investigation, seamless transition right investigating donald trump because that's the cover to keep the hillary

email investigation and her emails very secret let's go to screenshot three from the wonderful lee smith piece because this just gets better by the moment doesn't it the two parts of the fbi's clinton cover-up mess meshed seamlessly. On July 5th, 2016, the same day Jim Comey cleared the former Secretary of State of Charges of mishandling classified information, on that same day, Clinton campaign contractor Christopher Steele

first pushed Trump-Russia collusion reports to FBI agent Michael Gaeta. Now, Armacost, you'd think you'd wait a day right so if the fbi plot you're working with the clinton team in the obama administration at the upper levels of the fbi to say we've got a problem houston we got a serious problem we've got hillary's email she says are missing and so do the russians and others and they're really, really bad. What do we do? I've got an idea. Let's fabricate this whole story about how Trump is working with the Russians to

release those emails because idiots in the media will then make that the story and no one will want to release Hillary's emails. And if they do, they'll blame it on Trump. And it won't, the story won't be about Hillary's actual emails. Genius. How do we make the transition in the media? I've got an idea. Let's do a press conference on July 5th, 2016. Jim Comey. Let's exonerate Hillary.

Say, hey, no one's going to prosecute this case. The same day a guy, Hillary Clinton's paying to make up this story about how trump's colluding with the russians about her emails the same day july let's not even wait a day joe because we're in a rush the same day let's have that guy steal meet with his handler an fbi agent uh named gata in london and start to pass off the fictitious trump's colluding with the Russians fairy tale. Seamless. Seamless transition. Seamless. It's like passing the baton in a relay race at the Olympics.

They got the hand back. Here's Jim Comey. He's running. You don't even notice the transition. I got the baton. I got the baton. Here we go. Right to Trump.

Weird, isn't it weird how on July 5th that transition just happens like magic we're no longer going to worry about Hillary's emails that the Russians may have and what's in those emails we're now going to focus on a pee pee tape story and a collusion hoax story

told to a guy named Christopher Steele, who's being paid through intermediaries by Hillary Clinton's campaign. You got part one? The collusion hoax was always a hoax. The FBI knew it was a hoax. I'll show you that again in this text in a minute. Knew it from the start.

And all it was was cover to give to the media, to give them a reason not to cover Hillary's emails if they ever were exposed because the Russians had them and could be released at any time. Because if that happened, then what would the story be, Joe? If the media eats up this fake collusion hoax, the story would not be about the content of Hillary Clinton's emails. The story would be about how Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to release them. Tragic, horrible, malicious, but strangely elegant. And only workable because our media are morons.

Deliberate morons. So let's go to part two, because for this story I'm telling you to be factually accurate, there would have to be a threat Hillary's emails would be released. Remember the ones she said were disappeared, right? Now, in order for that to be a viable threat,

so much of a threat that you fabricate a story about trump colluding with the russians you would have to know that these foreign governments in fact had those emails well lee's intelligence source is telling him that these foreign government had these emails which i'm telling you are devastating and i'm going to give you my hypothesis on what is in those emails at the end of this segment. But as I've told you in the past, how do we know these foreign governments, Adam? Well, Lee's source admitted it, but just to rewind the tape a little bit, how did foreign governments, notably probably Russia, get Hillary Clinton's missing emails, which we still haven't seen?

Let's go to this Fox News story, a little bit of a flash from the past here, but worth reviewing in case you think we don't produce receipts on this show, which we always do. Fox News story, a little bit of a flash from the past here, but worth reviewing in case you think, you know, we don't produce receipts on this show, which we always do. Fox News story number one, this is important. Hillary Clinton's really stupid too. Sorry, I know we're not supposed to say that, but it's true. Clinton-Obama email sought by Senator Ron Johnson amid Democrats' impeachment inquiry. This is by Greg Reed. This is from a little while ago, this piece. Forget the headline for a minute. It's what's in the piece that's important. Did foreign governments have Hillary's emails and were they terrified that these were going to be leaked? Let's go to a screenshot from the piece because this stuff really, really is damning from the piece. So Ron Johnson on Thursdays from a while ago formally sought all email communications between Hillary and former President Obama.

Saying the Justice Department was blocking their release. Why would they do that, Joe? Even though they could shed light on whether the former Secretary of State discussed sensitive matters on her unsecured personal email system while she was overseas? So what did I tell you three years ago when I lived in another house with a much worse studio and a terrible ball camera. And the show basically first started to get in its legs. What did I tell you about the Hillary email scandal, what they were really covering for? It's not Hillary.

Believe it or not, a lot of people in the media don't even like Hillary. Who were they always covering up for? Obama. I've told you that for four years now. Hillary was emailing Barack Obama from her unsecure private email. Obama's on those emails. Barack Obama had a BlackBerry. those emails. Barack Obama had a BlackBerry. In that BlackBerry, whatever iPhone device he had,

whatever device Obama had, he was the first one to do it. White House Communications Agency, WACA, they put the security on that device. In order to email Barack Obama, listen to me, your email had to be whitelisted. You couldn't just randomly email him with offers from like some department store. Your email had to be put on a list so you could get through. What does that mean? It means Barack Obama knew Hillary Clinton had a private email the whole time because he authorized himself to be emailed by Hillary Clinton from her non-government email address from overseas. Meaning foreign actors have their emails.

They're not protecting Hillary. They're protecting Obama and Biden. Hillary was dumb enough to email Obama from a private email account while overseas. This is how not bright this woman is. This is why this is a huge scandal. It's always been one. How did foreigners get Hillary's emails? She's dumb enough to email.

Let's go to the second story at Fox news. So it's an Andy McCarthy piece, Hillary Clinton's Russian collusion narrative. Here's what new revelation revelations mean from inside the piece from inside the piece. It's like Paula's got like 10, he's like, he's like octopus tentacles.

He's got so much stuff going on. John Ratcliffe, who's our DNI, revealed last week in a letter to Lindsey Graham that in late July of 2016, Russian intelligence assets assessed that Clinton sought to blame Donald Trump, her opponent in the presidential race, for Russia's suspected hacking of DNC emails. U.S. spy agencies obtained insight into this Russian assessment through some highly classified method. That explains, at least in part, why the documents Ratcliffe had disclosed are so heavily redacted and probably why it's taken so long for the Trump administration to disclose this crucial information. Let me translate that for you, folks.

Not only did the Russians likely have Hillary Clinton's emails on her unauthorized illegal private server to Barack Obama, who likely emailed her back in strict violation of U.S. law, U.S. security procedures, and everything else, not only the Russians probably have those emails too, but the Russians probably have additional emails from Hillary and the team as well, indicating that now they know they have a problem because, all right, this is going to be tough, but I'm going to explain it anyway. Not only do the Russians have Hillary's emails, the Russians know Hillary knows Russians have her emails.

Not only do the Russians know, Hillary knows Russians have their email, the Russians also know that because Hillary knows Russia has her nasty emails, that Hillary's then going to blame this all on Donald Trump. I know it's not a bunt. I know it's, you picking up what I'm putting down? Russia knows everything.

They have her emails. They have her emails to Obama. Because they have her emails, they also probably have subsequent emails where Hillary's worried that the Russians have her emails. They also probably have subsequent emails from Team Hillary's Universe saying,

now that we know the Russians have our emails and the emails are really bad, we should probably blame this on Trump. And the Russians know that too. I just got a hum from Paul. She is never unsolicited from Paul, ever. So I got part one and part two. We're going to go back and rewind.

I got to get to a spot and say, but we know now, number one, for a fact, the whole collusion hoax is fake. It's a coverup because the Russians have Hillary's emails. Secondly, or thirdly, we know the Russians know the whole plot. They know Hillary's plot. And they've got to somehow now, everybody's got to unscrew this whole thing. I'll get to part three right after this spot, that Hillary knew Russians had her dirt,

knew they could release it at any time. But what was the dirt? We haven't even gotten to that yet. Stay tuned. Today's show also brought to you by friends at Omaha Steaks. Listen, if this 2020 holiday season feels like it's been a long time coming, make it worth the wait.

All right, so now we know Hillary's not smart enough to figure out that she's been entirely, completely compromised. But we do know she knows this. Hillary knows the Russians have her emails that she claims are missing.

Hillary also knows that the Russians know about her plot to blame that on Donald Trump. And they are in a world of trouble because the FBI knows that too. So now they need a story to distract the media from Hillary's really dirty emails. But why were the emails dirty? What do I think was in those emails? Well, I have to tell you, this is an opinion part of the show, but I'm giving you this based on some informed opinion about what I think is in those emails. That mysterious tranche of Hillary's emails we still haven't seen, but people in the FBI have, that they were so worried about, they had to create a collusion hoax to cover up for. So let's go to John Solomon's excellent piece today, because this is really fantastic. And it

talks about an interesting angle here, how the main source of the collusion fairy tale, Donald Trump was colluding with the Russians, the hoax was obviously Christopher Steele, who was working for Hillary Clinton, who was a former British spy. So in John Solomon's Just the News piece, again, this will be in the show notes, Bongino.com slash newsletter. I strongly encourage you to check it out. There you go. New stroke text messages show that the FBI warned that a key allegation in their FISA warrant against Carter Page might be false. That their informant, Stephen Halper, captured Carter Page saying he didn't even know key Russians, as they alleged to the court. So just to be clear, Christopher Steele working for Hillary Clinton,

they create this collusion hoax to divert from the Russians having Hillary's emails, right? I'll get to what was in the emails. Hold on. Stand easy. Stand easy. And now we know that the FBI had recordings the whole time that their main allegation, that Carter Page, who worked for the Trump team, was working with the Russians to collude with them to get these emails and other stuff.

We now know the FBI knew the entire time that the entire allegation was just made up. I'm going to get to a screenshot for the piece, but this is where the show gets a little complicated. You may have to listen twice, but oh, is it worth your time? So how did we start section three off? Hillary knows the Russians have her emails. She knows those emails are bad.

What the heck is in them? Get to the point. What's in them? I think this Uranium One stuff is in there. Why do I think that? Because in the dossier written by Christopher Steele to try and implicate Trump in this, they're very clear in implicating a company called Rosneft, which was involved in the Uranium One deal, but getting it attached to the Trump team.

I'll show you the dossier piece in a minute, but let me read this piece from just the news first. Quote, he outright denied knowing Devyakin, the FBI official, texted Stroke, relaying details from Halper's undercover interactions with Page, who was identified in the message by FBI codename Dragon. You can read the text message here.

You know, come back to me a second and then we'll Come back to me a second and we'll come back to this. So again, Hillary's got to fabricate this story with the FBI to distract from her emails because her emails, I believe, are just disgusting, knee deep in this Uranium One thing where we sold our uranium to Russians, and I believe Bill and Hillary knew all about it the whole time. The Russians have these emails. So what better way to distract from Hillary Clinton supporting this sale with her husband

Bill of our uranium to our nuclear-powered enemy, Russia, then to pin the company involved in the sale, Raz and F. Rosatom, to pin the company to the Trump team too. So they make up this story that Carter Page from the Trump team was having this conversation with this Russian Divyakin, and they were working on this deal where Carter Page would get shares of the same Russian company involved in the Uranium One deal. What's the problem? We'll come back to that in a second, a screenshot. The problem is in the dossier where it says

that Carter Page is dealing with this Russian, Divyakin, who's coordinating this fake deal that never happened, that an FBI informant by the name of Stephen Halper, forgive me, folks, the chemo is a little rough. The FBI informant that they have a wire on goes and asks Carter Page, hey, do you know this guy Divyakin and anything about this deal he proposed? hey do you know this guy divyakin and anything about this deal he proposed divyakin tells carter uh excuse me carter page tells stephen halper the fbi informant who's wired up at the time on tape

brother i have no freaking idea what you're talking about i've never met this guy and then the fbi goes to court anyway and swears that carter Page met the guy and that the source is true. Oh, oh, this is the new text. This just broke yesterday. In case you think I'm like dragging out all material from. We just got this text. Go back to that piece, if you don't mind, Paula, from just the news. Here's the text.

We just found this. The text messages provides the first public evidence of just how high up the FBI chain of command. provides the first public evidence of just how high up the FBI chain of command this information was relayed and establishes that the warning was received before the FBI won the FISA warrant. They knew it was all BS. In that warrant, Strokes' team from the FBI directly alleged that Page met Divyakin and another Russian official, Igor Sechin, based on information the FBI received from Christopher Steele. Folks, this is so obvious. Hillary's got a Uranium One scandal on her hands. The Russians know about it because they have the emails.

Hillary's afraid the Russians are going to release the emails about her Uranium One scandal and her involvement in it. So what do they do? They hire Steele to make up a story about the company a russian company involved in uranium one being associated with carter page from the trump team but what's the problem page is on tape denying he knows anything about it and the fbi lies about it in court and knew they lied about it you read my follow the money yet but if you haven't read it please i don't listen to my book i promise you this is not some if i could give it away for free i would but the chapter on this with steven soma the fbi agent and gata the handlers for steel and halper joe you tracking we cool so far yeah man yeah not so

dramatic today i ripped the paper yesterday gotta dial that down the paper flip is getting a little crazy you know how i get my show i get a stick and i roll with it drives paula crazy so sorry to rewind but tell them what you're gonna to tell them. Tell them, tell them what you told them before we, I'm not done. Oh, no, no, no. I'm not done yet. Not even, not even close. Hillary knows the Russians have her emails that are likely about her involvement in the sale of our nuclear fuel to a nuclear powered enemy of the United States. She's terrified they're going to release them. The company involved, Rosneft, she says, I got an idea. Let's just pay this guy, Christopher Steele, and he can make up this story that Trump

and his guys are associated with Rosneft. There's just a small hangup. When the FBI does an investigation and wires up an informant, the informant goes to Carter Page, who denies on tape having anything to do with it, and then the FBI swears to it anyway. Remember this story the other day from Reuters? To tie in Obama and Biden to this whole thing? This isn't just about Hillary's emails, folks. What did I tell you? Keep in mind, there are lots of tidbits in this show. Don't get lost.

emails, folks. What did I tell you? Keep in mind, there are lots of tidbits in this show. Don't get lost. This is not about the media covering up for Hillary Clinton, even though it's about Hillary Clinton covering up for Hillary Clinton's emails. Hillary Clinton was emailing Obama from a foreign country. They have Obama's emails too. Remember this Reuters piece from the other day? remember this Reuters piece from the other day? China's CEFC paid out compensation if the Rosneft stake deal fell through by Reuters, November of 2018. Remember the screen cap from this piece? What the hell does this have to do with anything?

You know, Rosneft, wait, wait, isn't that the company Rosneft Rosatom that was going to buy our uranium, the Russian company? The same company that was alleged to be involved with Carter Page, even though it was totally made up? Yeah, yeah. That's really weird that they have an association with this Chinese company too, CEFC, which

paid almost 225 million euros in compensation to buy a stake in Russian oil firm Rosneft, the Uranium One company. And look whose name appears there. Oh, Igor Sechin. Wow, weird, Joe. That's the same guy in the dossier. Yeah. Wouldn't it be really strange?

CEFC. Okay, so Chinese companies involved in this Russian purchase of our Uranium One that Hillary Clinton's pushing to. A Chinese company called CEFC. Joe, where do we remember that name from? Oh, I got it. Brain lapse, folks. to sink this deal in September of 2017, is the same company mentioned in an email from Hunter Biden to this office where he says to the office, hey, I need keys made for an

office for my dad, Joe Biden, because he's going to be office mates with the chairman of a company called CEFC. C-E-F-C. So Joe Biden was going to be office mates, according to his son's emails, with the chairman of a Chinese company who at the same time is trying to buy the Russian company that was trying to buy our uranium. You know what's really interesting about it too

is, as I discussed the other day, that the Russian company wasn't only interested in buying our uranium, you know, nuclear fuel and all that kind of stuff. Probably a bad thing to give to our nuclear enemies. Right, Joe? I mean, a little bit of sarcasm from him. Yeah. Thanks. Thanks for confirming.

Just to be, just a little double check on that one. No prob, babe. No prob. Mary. prop. You know what would be really bad? If that company, Rosneft and Rosatom, which had a partnership, was not only buying uranium from us, but was also trying to buy uranium from Kazakhstan, which has some of the richest uranium mines in the world. That would be really bad too, because we really wouldn't want the Russian nuclear powered regime to get a hold of nuclear fuel so they could build

more bombs to kill us. Wouldn't it be even crazier if they were trying to get a hold of uranium in Kazakhstan as well? And that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden didn't only have an association with the Chinese company involved with the Russian company trying to buy uranium, but they also appeared in pictures with Kazakhstan representatives as well, right around the same time all this is going off. Oh my gosh, crazy. New York Post photo shows Joe Biden meeting with Hunter's alleged business partner from Kazakhstan. Isn't this weird? What are the chances? This is just crazy. What is going on? We have crazy pills here. These are the nitric oxide pills. There's crazy pills everywhere.

What the heck is going on here? So there's uranium in Kazakh mines too, that the same Russian company wants to buy. And Hunter Biden's got business partners in Kazakhstan too, as his dad's going to be office mates with a Chinese company buying the Russian company, buying our uranium oh my gosh oh it's like the telephone game yeah now of course this would be may i venture to say a major scandal if the at one time vice president of the united states president of the united states and barack obama the vice president united states son hunter biden and the former secretary of state and candidate for president, Hillary Clinton, all had deep financial ties from the Chinese, Russian, and Kazakh governments who were all trying to buy nuclear fuel to

create weapons in the end that could destroy us. That would be a really bad scandal, wouldn't it? Just throwing it out there for you to digest. Maybe the kind of scandal that could bring down the Democrat party for generations, especially if Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and Joe and Hunter Biden had email exchanges out there about it, right? That the Russians may have that you really wouldn't want anyone to see. So what better way to get the media to look the other way if this stuff were to break intentionally, because the media is in on this, but to give them a counter story, because that story would be really, really bad.

At the highest levels of our government, sold out for a quick paycheck from Kazakh, Chinese communists, and Russian nuclear-powered enemies of the United States. Sold out their reputations and their livelihoods to give beneficial access of our nuclear fuel to enemies of the United States and they all did it and it's all on email somewhere, you would need a counter narrative, right? So the only counter narrative would be to blame it on Donald Trump. Let me get to my third sponsor quickly here, folks, and then we'll get back to how they use the FBI and sadly, very stupid people at the top of the FBI, how they use them to create a handy

media counter-narrative going back to Lee Smith's opening or what Lee calls in his terrific piece, a diversionary tactic to distract you from Hillary's emails and what was in them.

So getting back to this, what better way, again, to give the media a counter story, to give them a reason to not cover the explosive potential release by a foreign government

of Hillary, Obama, Biden, and all of their emails about their involvement in this Uranium One scandal and the sale of our uranium assets. What better way to cover it all up than to turn around and implicate the very same companies, implicate the Trump team for being involved? Well, here's a portion of the October 18, 2016 dossier from Christopher Steele, who

was paid by Hillary Clinton to make up this fairy tale about the collusion hoax. It's all nonsense. Oh, there's Igor Sechin's name, Joe. Same guy, Rosa Tom, Rosa, isn't that crazy? Justin at CFC, that's really weird, right? And look, this is the actual dossier. I'll read it to you. It says, speaking to a trusted compatriot

in mid-October, 2015, a close associate of Rosanet, Rosanet, Rosanet, your Iranian one company. Weird how that appears in this dossier. A close associate of Rosanet, Rosnett, Rosnett, your Iranian one company. Weird how that appears in this dossier. A close associate of Rosnett, Rosnett president Putin ally, Sechin, elaborated on a reported secret meeting between the latter, Sechin and Carter Page. Folks, keep this up here, Paula. This meeting never happened. Do you understand all of this is made up? This is all made up. Carter Page denies on tape to an FBI informant this ever happened and the FBI lies about it and says this is true. In Moscow of July of 2016, that's when this supposed meeting was supposed to happen.

The secret had been confirmed to him by a senior member of staff in addition to the Raznev president himself. It took place, the meeting, this meeting never happened, but this is the dossier. It took place on July 7th to Julyuly 8th the same day after carter page made a public speech to the higher economic school in moscow do you understand there and then here's one more part of this this is from the dossier they're saying that carter page was offered up to 19 of rosneft the russian company involved with rosatom in the iranian one deal that page had expressed interest and confirmed that if Trump were elected president,

that the sanctions would Russia would be lifted. Folks. This is all made up. The FBI knows it. This is not, this is just a total fair. My eight year old could have written this. You get the scam.

Hillary Obama and Biden are involved in a major scandal of the century, the sale of our uranium to a nuclear-powered enemy that they're all implicated in in some way or another. There's an email trail of it. And in order to give the stupid press a counter story, they take the same company involved in the sale, Rosneft, and they just blame it on Trump. They're like, no, no, Rosneft's cutting a deal with Carter Page from the Trump team. And they're doing a shady deal about our emails. That if, in other words, we won't release the emails, but Carter Page will get a stake in Rosneft. And it is 19, which would be worth billions of dollars, which would be hilarious, be the dopiest money laundering scheme in human history.

And that the Trump team, in exchange for this Rosneft stuff, the Russians will release the emails to damage Hillary. You get it? It's totally made up. Again, backtracking a little bit through John Solomon's piece and the FBI text that we just got that the FBI knew before they went to court and swore this Carter Page dossier story was true. The FBI knows the story's fake. Why? Because Carter Page is caught on a wire telling Stefan Halper, the spy, what are you talking about, you dope? That meeting never even happened.

I don't even know sechin and the fbi never tells the court can you imagine how desperate they must have been to give the media a diversionary tactic according to lee smith he's absolutely right in case these russian emails dropped remember folks the intelligence source is telling Lee Smith that the FBI has seen these Hillary emails that I'm telling you foreign governments have. We haven't seen them yet. Well, what could be in there? Like I said, we know later on Hunter Biden and Joe Biden are going to be office mates with the chairman of a Chinese company involved in a deal with the same Russian company buying the uranium. We already know that. I showed you the reporting. Is that a conspiracy theory? Reuters, are they in on it too? We also know that Hillary

and Bill Clinton, their foundation was profiting handsomely if this uranium one deal was about to go through. Now, how do I know that? Of course, because the goons at Media Matters and Media Idol tell you Dan Bongino is a conspiracy theorist. Is he? So do you think, just a quick question for you, for you goofballs at Media Matters, you think I'm in cahoots with the New York Times on this for my conspiracy theories? Let's put up this headline from the New York Times. Maybe it'll show you that what I'm telling you is true.

New York Times, April 23rd, 2015. Cash flowed to the Clinton Foundation amid Russian uranium deal. Joe Becker and Mike McIntyre. Is that a conspiracy theory? Do you think that's a fake headline? You go to any search engine, that article still hasn't been retracted. The New York Times wrote about this before they realized there would be a penalty for writing about this.

before they realized there would be a penalty for writing about this. Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation benefited handsomely from multiple players involved in this Uranium One deal. Joe Biden's son profited handsomely and was soliciting up to $10 million, $10 million from a Chinese company involved with the Russian company involved with the Uranium One deal. You still think it's a conspiracy theory? What's in those emails, folks? The FBI has seen them.

You haven't. I'm telling you what's in them. The biggest scandal of our time makes Watergate look like an episode of Teletubbies. People at the highest level of our government were fattening their wallets and their bank accounts, abusing their power to sell the United States' nuclear fuel to nuclear-powered enemies, and everybody was in on the take. nuclear fuel to nuclear-powered enemies, and everybody was in on the take. And when the FBI saw the emails that the Russians had about that, from Hillary to Obama and others, everybody panicked. They panicked because they thought there was a small chance Donald Trump could win the

presidency, and if he did, this would all come out. So in an effort to stop Donald Trump, in an effort to stop Donald Trump from releasing those emails that we know the Russians had, Hillary, Obama, Biden emails, all of that stuff, they decided to flip the script and fabricate a dossier that implicated the same Russian company involved in Uranium One with the trump team and they made up the collusion hoax to give the media something to chew on while they just let this thing slowly drip drip drip so it didn't all come out at one time saddest freaking thing i've ever seen well been played for suckers man it's a diversionary tactic the whole time ladies and gentlemen i don't know who else was involved in this but i have some suspicions um i've got one more part of this i'm going to throw in there it's not comfortable but i'm going to talk about it anyway i've got one more sponsor i have to get to they are very generous with the show and they're here to talk to you. But there's one more final part of this

One of my favorite pieces of equipment, the teeter. We love it. All right. So I think we sum that up pretty accurately. Now that we know, you know, for a fact that the FBI,

before they went to court, what, why are you looking at me? Oh, you're looking at the screen. Now that we know for a fact that the FBI went to court, swore that the FBI went to court, swore that the dossier and the whole Rosneft-Carter-Page story was true, they knew it was fake. Now we know why they did that, because they needed this thing to be true, or else the

story would leak out about Hillary, Obama, Biden, and the sale of our nuclear fuel. Folks, there was one more really stunning story that came out. I know we've been very Spygate heavy today, but there was a lot of news yesterday. And why it's all coming out at the same time, I'm not sure. I'm not being coy. I'm not hiding the answer. But the story at the Federalist, there's something not right about this. Tristan Justice, who's great, wrote this story at the Federalist. It's in the show notes i need you to read it because there's something in there that doesn't it's not right headline federalist fbi spied on fox news recorded phone call between fox executive and george papadopoulos new tech

show why is this a story yesterday Because yesterday we got these new texts, including the text where the FBI, they're texting themselves, then they know that the Roz and F Carter page story is fake. We just found this out yesterday too. So let me read this from the piece and I'm going to explain something to you because something is not quite adding up here from this friendless piece by Tristan Justice.

This is an FBI text from the people involved in the case. Quote, I know you're not point on this anymore, but George Papadopoulos got a call from the VP at Fox News yesterday who advised that the government was conducting checks on him a few months back.

An unidentified individual whose name is redacted in the report texted to Peter Stroke on January 12th of 2017. That's a really key date because George Papadopoulos' name wasn't necessarily public yet, folks. That's my addition to that. All right, back to the piece.

Quote, this is from the text. I haven't listened to the exact audio. Listened. But I'm guessing that the FARA checks we did with DOJ and our four main guys, especially given the article that you pushed yesterday. Huh? Listen to the recording yet? How did the FBI get a recording of a Fox News executive in George Papadopoulos?

There's no known FISA on Papadopoulos that we know about, right, specifically. How'd they get the recording? Now, in the piece by Tristan Justice, he mentions in there that national security letters were used. Well, national security letters are a tool the federal government,

law enforcement specifically, uses to get phone records, but they don't get recordings. National security letters, you can get phone calls, phone numbers dialed, phone numbers incoming. We used to call them in the old days, muds and luds. National security letters aren't going to give you the recording of a phone call. Can you go back to that text a minute, Paula, from the piece? I want you to pay very close attention. It doesn't say I read the text of the call. The FBI agent says I haven't listened to the exact audio of the call.

It's right there. You can see it right in the piece. How the hell did the FBI get audio of a Fox News executive talking to George Papadopoulos? There's only two ways to do it. You had to have some kind of a warrant, whether it was a Title III warrant

or a FISA warrant, right? For those of you who have law enforcement experience, for just to simplify it, a wire tap, what we'd call in common everyday movie terms. Movies tend to dictate how we talk about crime, sadly, because that's how most people learn about law enforcement. If you're not in it, you see stuff in the movies and on TV. So you'd have a wire tap, right? That'd be one way to have a recording. He says it right there, Joe, I didn't misread that, right? That I haven't listened to the audio yet. He doesn't say read the text. It's not a transcript.

It was audio. Someone recorded this call. So one way would be a warrant, but that'd be really weird because we haven't seen that warrant. The FISA warrants we know about in the Spygate case, Joe, were on who? Carter Page, not George Papadopoulos, none that we know about.

So if option one, a warrant on George Papadopoulos, wasn't the way they recorded the call of the FBI. And what's the other option? Well, there are waivers to warrants, and one of them's consent. In other words, Washington, D.C. is a one-party consent state. Did someone consent to that recording? I'll just leave that one there

could be a warrant out there could be could be something we don't know about it's possible George should ask him someone should ask George that or others because that's the only way that would happen George had or others.

Because that's the only way that would happen. It wasn't a national security letter. I can sure as hell tell you that. Fascinating. Okay, moving on. One last, you got that DeSantis thing? I wanted to play this yesterday and leave you on a good note on Friday you know it's Friday Joe always does the good day sir at the end of Friday and I like to leave you on a good note I have to we have the best governor in the country right I love Ron DeSantis this guy you know I always talk about the hits file and there's, you get it.

It's the family friendly version, giving a hit. So you have a file of hits to give, and I'm out of hits to give trying to please people. I'm doing what I want from now on. You get it? DeSantis has a hits file too, and he gives no hits either. He's done with the media and their fake narratives. So long and short, this is about a minute video. This is good. This guy, I love this guy, the governor of Florida, where I live. He's at a presser and some media person wants to tell a narrative, not ask a question. And it was a raid, a raid, and I'm using that with air quotes because you'll see why that'll become important in a minute. It was actually the service of a search warrant.

On a woman involved with some data and coronavirus, it's a little bit of like a story down here in Florida, but there was no raid. This is just the media trying to paint DeSantis as some like Gestapo leader who sicked the police on this woman because the coronavirus data story blew up. Listen to DeSantis, who's taking absolutely no guff from this woman at all.

Check this out. This is great. Were you aware that the Rebecca Jones raid was about to happen? I knew there was an investigation. I didn't know what they were going to do. It's not a raid. I mean, with all due respect, what you just said is editorializing. They, sir, excuse me, excuse me.

No, excuse me. I'm not going to let you get away with it. These people did their jobs. They've been smeared as the Gestapo for doing their jobs. They did a search warrant. Why did they do a search warrant on the House? Because her IP address was linked to the felony. What were they supposed to do?

Just ignore it? Of course not. They went. They followed protocol. We actually have video from the Tallahassee PD showing that they were very respectful. She was not cooperative. It was not a raid. They were serving valid process in accordance with the laws and constitution of the United States and the state of Florida. They did it with integrity. They did it with honor. And to

say it's a raid is disinformation. And you guys need to drive. Excuse me. That's why I very limited time. Excuse me. You guys need to look at facts and stop trying to feed narratives. I understand why you do it, but it's not. I don't do that. And so you should be.

I don't do that. Everybody. There you go, folks. That's just how it's done. That's how it's done. That's how it's done, right? This guy could teach a PhD class on how to talk to the media.

Stop. Stop answering their questions when they're not questions. If the media has a legitimate inquiry and you're a public figure, you owe the public an answer. If it's not a legitimate inquiry and it's an editorialized statement, Ron DeSantis rated this, that's not true, then don't answer. it's not a legitimate inquiry and it's an editorialized statement,

Ron DeSantis rated, that's not true. Then don't answer. It's not a question. Just shut them down and answer the question you want. Absolutely beautiful. I'm going to bad, bad. It's a joke. Dr. Ron DeSantis. Some of you get it. Dr. Right. We're going to are you get it? Paula got it. Joe, you didn't get it. You're missing it, are you? I can't believe you're missing... You're missing... How are you missing this? Dr. Ron...

Joe Biden! Dr. Ron DeSantis. I'm anointing him Dr. Ron DeSantis. If Joe Biden's a doctor, Ron DeSantis is a doctor too. PhD in the academic school of dealing with the media and hard knocks.
