Starting point is 00:00:00 Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. So if you had any doubts that fake book was fully in the tank for the left, fully in the tank, not just a little in the tank, a tank half full or a quarter full, but fully in the tank filled to the brim. One more drop of gas and you'll spill it anywhere. Project Veritas has a video of Mark Zuckerberg and the Fakebook leadership team that just came out. We'll show you portions of it at the beginning of the show, where they're basically just outright saying like, yeah, man, we're in the tank for the Biden agenda. Fakebook. Fakebook. I've got that. And I want to discuss today something important, how you're watching a real-time realignment of political movements in the United States.
Starting point is 00:00:50 You know, you see this generationally. You see political movements shift often, but you're seeing it right now in rapid time, how some of the stances, traditional, old-school principal Democrats, you're like printed were principal Democrats at one time. There may have been how things they claim they stood for tolerance, sticking up for the little guy, equality, all that stuff are now Republican issues. While the Democrats are all in for oligarchies, monopolies, big business, the parties have totally shifted. Don't miss it.

Protect your data today. Don't wait. All right, let's go. Let's get right into it. So I promised you this video. This is Facebook, an expose by James O'Keefe's
Starting point is 00:03:12 group at Project Veritas, who I've said often James O'Keefe is probably the most feared man in America right now. If you were a diehard leftist or a big tech full time liberal activist, here is a brief portion of their latest video. You can check it out on the Project Veritas website, the full video. A Facebook insider came to them with some video of a Zuckerberg, I guess, what, company Zoom call, whatever it may be,
Starting point is 00:03:36 just basically admitting right now, they're not even hiding it anymore, that they're in the tank for the Biden agenda. They're not even pretending to be other than liberal activists anymore. Check this out. These were all important and positive steps. And I am looking forward to opportunities where Facebook is going to be able to work together with this new administration on some of their top priorities, starting with the COVID response. There you go.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Now, I addressed in the opening portion of the show, we were going to talk about how the political spheres that were once the domains of Democrats and Republicans are now switching entirely. The Democrats once alleged when they were a semi-serious party, and that's rare, but when they were a semi-serious party decades ago or tried to be, they once alleged they were in it for things like tolerance, equality, the little guy. We're in it for the union worker, really? Because the union workers were complaining last week that their Keystone pipeline jobs were
Starting point is 00:04:43 wiped out overnight when the guy they supported, Joe Biden, came in and declared their Keystone pipeline jobs were wiped out overnight when the guy they supported, Joe Biden, came in and declared the Keystone pipeline was going to be dead on arrival. I thought they were in it for the little guy. You're watching a real-time political realignment. And I'm going to address tomorrow a Victor Davis Hanson article. I don't have enough time today because it's deep and it addresses something I've discussed in the past, this book, Revolt Against the Masses by Fred Siegel. They make similar assertions in both the article and the book. That's important. But sometimes we tend to
Starting point is 00:05:14 overthink this. And why are you seeing this political realignment? To be clear, the Republican Party, conservatives and libertarians now being fully in support of an agenda the democrats claimed they were in support of decades ago you know again tolerance equality fighting for small business the little guy those are things we support now they've entirely abandoned why is that happening well because democrats have now given up any premise that they can win through procedures, elections, things like that, the courts. They don't want that anymore. Democrats are now will support anything outside of process and procedure, anything or anyone that gets them to their endgame absolute power. I wrote some of these things.
Starting point is 00:06:05 power. I wrote some of these things out. They'll support cartels, monopolies, the militarization of the Capitol, active, full-blown, full-frontal racism where they actively discriminate against people who are white because they're white. They'll support all. They've given up on process. And Republicans have started to figure it out that the system they once backed, that they thought would, to be fair, would give everybody's in pursuit of power somehow. I'm not suggesting it's always for malicious intent, but good Republicans. Sorry, people calling me during the show. Good Republicans assume they could get power by supporting principled ideas.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Well, let's just support capitalism, free markets. Yes, free markets are a good thing, but not everyone who benefits from free markets was in it for pure reasons. In other words, we're starting to understand that big business has abandoned us a long time ago and Republicans are objecting to what they see as a rigged system. Paul, does this make sense?
Starting point is 00:07:00 Are you sure? I need my audience on Buzzman. Democrats are in a full blown search for power. They realize that supporting the little guy unions and pretending they're in it for this fight, this champion of of the black and Hispanic community. They're starting to realize that actively supporting policies that would do that and support those people aren't getting them power. They're not doing it. Their labels. So what if they've given it up? They're now in it for monopolies, cartels, militarization of the Capitol, whatever they can do. Republicans are now figuring out the exact opposite. That they thought they had allies in business and elsewhere
Starting point is 00:07:35 and those allies aren't there. Let's get to it. What do I mean? The system is rigged and Republicans and conservatives are figuring it out right now. Let's go to this Daily Caller article first. It's an important one. You'll see it at the show notes and you'll see it out right now. Let's go to this Daily Caller article first. It's an important one. You'll see it at the show notes. And you'll see it at the show notes. I encourage you to read it. You can access my show notes and I strongly encourage you to do it.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Please, I need to be able to communicate with you on my email list directly. Go to bongino.com slash newsletter. It's an important article here. Daily Caller, corporations that support the $15 an hour minimum wage can afford it here's who can't thomas can't uh cat nachi the minimum wage ladies and gentlemen conservatives and libertarians and good republicans for years have understood that there isn't a there's probably
Starting point is 00:08:21 not i don't want to say that there say there's not a serious economist out there. Serious. I'm not talking about the clowns who won't acknowledge that raising the minimum wage would impose costs on a company. Correct. It's just tautological. Right. If you're paying your employees seven dollars an hour and that's the value they add to a company and then you demand you pay them fifteen dollars an hour more than double, it's going to impose costs on the company. Does anybody dispute? Joe, do you split? It's a15 an hour, more than double. It's going to impose costs on the company. Does anybody dispute that?
Starting point is 00:08:47 Joe, do you dispute that? It's a no from Joe, a no from Paul. So nobody seriously disputes that. If you're at a lemonade stand and you're running a lemonade stand, you have two employees. Those two employees make you $10 an hour. And hiring a third employee enables you to serve more lemonade and make $12 per hour. Then each hour, that employee and make $12 per hour, then each hour that employee is worth $2 per hour. They're not worth more because the government said they're worth more.
Starting point is 00:09:11 That's an example using small numbers because there are liberals listening. So if we understand that the economics of government mandated wages don't work, why are people supporting them if they're going to hurt small businesses? Because Democrats don't give a damn about small businesses. The system is rigged. Big businesses donate to Democrats. Democrats want power. They realize supporting small businesses
Starting point is 00:09:37 through free market wages rather than government-enforced wages was not getting them the power. So they've abandoned that completely. Now they support a minimum wage with their big business buddies. That'll crush small businesses, benefit big businesses, who will then give Democrats more money. They'll get power and give the big middle finger to the little guy from the Daily Caller piece. Amazon, trillion-dollar company, right? Amazon. Again, a company we Republicans, a decade ago, or maybe before the Trump era, probably would have said, hey, it's a free market company.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Let them do their thing. Now we're starting to change our minds. Why? Because we realize they want the rig system, too. From the piece, quote, Amazon went further in 2018, pledging to actively lobby Congress to increase the minimum wage while increasing its own company-wide minimum wage to $15 an hour. Senior Vice President of Amazon Global Corporate Affairs, Jay Carney, Jay Carney, who's Jay Carney? Paul, you remember Jay Carney? Jay Carney, who was the White House Press Secretary under Obama, reiterated that the company's view on an increased minimum wage, he reiterated it in
Starting point is 00:10:41 a blog post. He said said during the last congressional session amazon advocated for the previous version of the raise the wage act which passed in the house but stalled in the senate corny wrote we will continue our advocacy this congress you get it you get it how republicans reflexive support for business in the past is now turning out to be a catastrophic error. How the political, the spheres are now, they're not overlapping. They're entirely swapping. Democrats in the past, big business is evil. Capitalism is terrible.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Really? Terrible. Really? Because now Democrats are fully in the tank with big business, who then goes and hires former Obama people, Amazon, to influence people in D.C., Amazon, to get a minimum wage enacted because Amazon doesn't really care. Amazon's a big business that has the money to spare to do it. And how does this benefit Amazon if a minimum wage,
Starting point is 00:11:41 a $15 an hour minimum wage, which will crush small businesses in America? There's no serious question about that. Only dopes believe otherwise. How does it benefit Amazon? Think, think, think, think it through, think it through. Not this, this. Something different. Some of you know.
Starting point is 00:12:00 How does that benefit Amazon? Well, Amazon has competitors, small businesses where Amazon can just replicate their products themselves and make an in-house version of it. Wouldn't it be great if all of these small businesses were put out of business and Amazon could just incorporate all their products
Starting point is 00:12:16 into the Amazon store and sell an Amazon version of it? Oh, that would be great, wouldn't it? Republicans are figuring out now that the system is rigged and that our reflexive support in the past for business in general may have been a catastrophic mistake as business turns around and supports policies that will destroy everyone except the business that's supporting the policy and then you go and you hire dc people who leave liberal administrations like carney who have lifetime jobs it's who go back and then lobby and write blog posts about policies that will harm the american economy a hike in the minimum wage
Starting point is 00:12:58 there's no serious question about that i want to be crystal clear. The body of economic research on minimum wage is substantial. It's idiocy to claim otherwise that demanding small businesses double their biggest expense, human resources, double the spending on human resources from $7 to $15 in many cases will not harm that business. It's pure mathematical idiocy. So if it's going to harm businesses and small businesses, why are Democrats supporting it? Because again, it helps them obtain power. It helps their big business buddies, Amazon, crush their competitors. It helps them get jobs with Amazon when they leave. It helps Amazon, again, grow by crushing any kind of competition whatsoever. grow by crushing any kind of competition whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:13:50 And it helps the Democrats obtain power by not only getting jobs in Amazon and elsewhere, but by also getting huge big tech donations to Democrat candidates running for office, which helps them gain power. What a deal. What a deal. It's like a football game playing uphill for the liberty lovers and downhill for the Democrats and their big business buddies. You're watching a realignment in real time. Tell me again how this isn't an us versus them fight. Us, the great unwashed, I jokingly say. Standard working class, dirt under the fingernails, middle class Americans who are working for a living. They don't get jobs at Amazon they don't have the money to pay
Starting point is 00:14:28 employees who generate $8 an hour $15 an hour the employee hiring them generates $8 an hour why would you pay them $15 you'll go out of business because Amazon said so and so did Jay Carney and the Democrats not only does big business Amazon not only do they want it rigged,
Starting point is 00:14:50 the media wants the system rigged too. You don't believe me? I'm going to play this cut of a morbidly obese coffee fetcher, balding, middle-aged zero, who just is all in now for censorship. Again, the spheres have totally swapped. They're not overlapping. Things the Republicans once stood for, stood for almost universally,
Starting point is 00:15:15 support a business, are now semi in the Democrat camp as they support big business, as big business supports them with political donations, the Democrats. And things the Democrats claimed once to support, they never really supported, but claimed to support, the little guy, union workers, the rank and file, deplorable class, those were supposedly in the camp of the Democrats.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Those are now Trump voters. Why? Because the system is clearly rigged. Now, Democrats in the media, again, years ago, used to support things like civil liberties, free speech, a free media. That's totally gone. The media is now fully in the tank for censorship, totalitarianism, authoritarianism, crushing any idea they don't agree with while simultaneously gaslighting the american public and lying to them themselves you know cnn the network that promoted the hands up don't don't shoot story false the collusion hoax false you know that you know that me cnn well here's the morbidly obese brian stelter on cnn he wants the system rigged he wants an opposing political viewpoint channel, Fox News, that does news but
Starting point is 00:16:26 has opinion that disagrees with him. He wants it taken off the air while simultaneously claiming to be a representative of the media where you're supposed to be able to air opinions, even if unpopular, and air facts. He wants them taken off the air. Check out the morbidly obese Brian Stelter. It's as predictable as the sunrise. Democrats win elections and then Republicans say they are being silenced. But while some cry cancel culture, let me suggest a different way to think about this. A harm reduction model. Most people want clean air and blue skies and accurate news and rational views.
Starting point is 00:17:05 And then in that healthy environment that looks beautiful, then we can have great fights about taxes and regulation and health care and all the rest. The vast majority of people can agree that disinformation about, let's say, the pandemic is unhealthy. It's harmful. So how can that harm be reduced? Well, big tech platforms say they are removing lies about vaccines and stamping out stop the steal BS and QAnon cult content.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Now, do these private companies have too much power? Sure. Many people would say yes, of course they do. But reducing a liar's reach is not the same as censoring freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is different than freedom of reach. And algorithmic reach is part of the problem so the morbidly obese stelter he he says it's okay stelter but there's never been a man with lesser aptitude achievement life skills or anything relevant to speaking about the issues
Starting point is 00:18:01 of the day to get a cable news show than stelter. Stelter's dictating to the American public that, yes, you can talk about, because I said so, taxes and regulations and that stuff, but only after we eliminate our cable news competition. This is a representative of the media, a representative supposedly of the media, who has a show hilariously titled Reliable Sources. This is the same guy when he's addressing boy you know we need to get fox news off the air because of coronavirus hoaxes what do you mean like the hoax that andrew cuomo didn't send coronavirus infected people into nursing homes cnn who ran interference for that you mean that you? You mean the CNN and other networks that talk down about coronavirus treatments
Starting point is 00:18:50 despite a meta-analysis showing some of them work because Donald Trump mentioned them? You mean that network? Does the coffee boy at CNN really want to get into a full-blown analysis of factual versus hoax-based information on networks to determine who gets a newfound Ministry of Truth license to have a cable news network? Are you sure he wants to do that, the coffee fetcher?
Starting point is 00:19:18 You know, I put up a fake book post this weekend about Stelter, and some people were like, oh, Dan Dan you know we should ignore this loser no we can't because dopey people like AOC and the coffee fetcher at CNN have been used by insane people throughout human history to enact a totalitarian tyrannical agenda they're known as useful idiots they're idiots like stelter and aoc and others but they're used by irrational insane people to enact a totalitarian agenda and to make sure a rigged system is codified you can't ignore the useful idiots. They're tools. They've always been tools.
Starting point is 00:20:07 So isn't it weird how now Republicans have completely taken over the tolerance, real tolerance, I mean like tolerance for people who disagree. There's no one on Fox News I know calling for the deplatforming of CNN, right? Have you heard that? So we're the real tolerant party, right? It's the coffee fetcher that isn't just, that's just a fact, right? Isn't that weird how Republicans are the party of tolerance, yet the media wants you to believe Democrats are?
Starting point is 00:20:35 Isn't it weird how Republicans are the party of media and press freedoms while the Democrats are fully in the tank for censorship? They're admitting it now. The coffee boy just said it. Isn't it weird how now Republicans are fighting against policies at minimum wage that would crush small business
Starting point is 00:20:50 in the little guy while Democrats are actively advancing policies that are going to crush your small business, yet you probably believe if you're a liberal small business owner that Democrats are in this fight for you? That's hilarious. It's a rigged system.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Wake up. It's rigged against you. I'll say it again. While Republicans may not be the answers to all of your problems, I acknowledge that. The cause of all your problems. If you're the little guy, not the elites, big business reps, leftist media lunatics like Stelter. big business reps, leftist media lunatics like Stelter.
Starting point is 00:21:28 The Democrats are the cause of all of your problems if you are the little guy. I'm going to show you some more rigging of a minute, how the system's totally rigged.

Starting point is 00:23:24 See site for details. The system's rigged. The system's TommyJohn.com slash Dan Seaside for details. The system's rigged. The system's rigged. It's not a talking point. It's a fact. Big business is rigging the system for their buddies in the Democrat Party who go get big jobs with the same big business that impose party policies that impose costs on you, the regular great unwashed class in the United
Starting point is 00:23:45 States. The media system's rigged. You have people openly calling for now. Crush our competitors, Fox News. Yeah, but they were right about the biggest stories of the day, and you were wrong. We don't care. We want them off the air. We want people forced to watch CNN every day.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Can you imagine being forced to watch The Coffee Boy every day? I'd throw my TV out the window. I'd have to check if no one was down there first. Anyone around, I could probably get arrested for littering, but it'd be worth it to get rid of The Coffee Boy. day i'd throw my tv out the window i'd have to check if no one was down there first anyone around right i could probably get arrested for littering but it'd be worth it to get rid of the coffee boy but it's not just the media and big business that are rigging the system that's a fact and how good republicans conservatives and trump supporters are starting to figure this out the bad republicans don't give a damn they're in the pocket of big business, too. Sadly, it's a lot of them.
Starting point is 00:24:27 But it's almost all Democrats. The DOJ, the Department of Justice. Justice is blind. Paul, you think justice is blind? Joe, do you think justice is blind? I was taking a little mini-survey of the show today. Waiting your answer, Joe. Joe? Oh, yeah. Yeah, justice. Blind? Yeah, Joe. Joe?
Starting point is 00:24:47 Oh, yeah. Yeah, Justice. Blind? Okay. I know. Just... Just... Wait, Joe. I'll explain next week, poor Joe, what's going on.
Starting point is 00:24:59 I'm still... As a reason, I can't... I'm not... But no, Justice... Yeah, Justice is blind like this. Let me show you how justice is blind. Paul, you want a demo? Here's how justice in the United States is blind.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Because the Democrats take, remember, they hated the police. Remember years ago? They were all, you know, pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon. Now, all of a sudden, they love the Department of Justice and the militarization of Washington. I thought they hated wars and the big military government complex. I thought they hated that, the leftists, right? They told us that for years, didn't they? Didn't they? Yeah, they told us that for years, remember? The Code Pinkers and everything. Now, all of a sudden, we have a militarization of our Capitol with thousands of troops surrounding the Capitol,
Starting point is 00:25:37 and Democrats love it. They also seem to love the Department of Justice, too. I thought they hated law enforcement and justice. Here's how justice is blind. My sorry, my arthritic elbows don't work very well. If you want to watch the demonstration, it's very sophisticated on Rumble. Go to rumble.com slash Bongino. Don't worry.
Starting point is 00:25:52 None of the system is rigged. Justice is blind like this. You may catch that. It's supposed to be blindfolded, but really one eye, as you can see what my left eye is peeking around. So the one, the right eye is blind that
Starting point is 00:26:08 right eye of justice is the one that looks towards democrat uh liberal and anti-trump malfeasance anything you do to hurt trump or if you're a democrat or a liberal you can be relatively sure that there's a high probability you'll get off because justice is blind to democrats and uh the anti-trump brigade but when the republicans when they do something the hammer of the law is to come down hard as we saw with the troll guy who's figuring that out now you don't believe me check out this piece in the show notes today again bongino.com slash newsletter my newsletter is the show notes today. Again, Bongino.com slash newsletter. My newsletter is the show notes. Real clear investigations. Remember the FBI lawyer who doctored the document from the CIA that said Carter Page was a source for them? Changed it to was not a source? Which means the opposite of was a source. Remember him, Kevin Clinesmith? Well, Washington, D.C., as you can see in this real clear piece by Paul Sperry,
Starting point is 00:27:10 fails to disbar the anti-Trump FBI lawyer despite his guilty plea. You thought the Bar Association wasn't rigged? You thought the Department of Justice was fair? So just to be clear, you're a troll meme maker making memes on Twitter. The full force of the Justice Department comes down on you. Yet burn down American cities, threaten police departments, be a member of Antifa and BLM, known terrorist groups in the United States. Alter a document from the CIA about a Trump campaign worker and his contacts with Russians. Nothing happens to you.
Starting point is 00:27:56 You're not even disbarred. Do you remember what he did, Clement Clinesmith? Let me just give you a quick update in case you forgot. And in case you're still one of these Democrats who thinks, no, no, no, I'm in this for the little guy. I don't like law enforcement overreach. I don't like the idea that we're engaging in a bunch of foreign wars. Then you're not a Democrat. You're Republicans. We're the ones actually fighting for that.
Starting point is 00:28:19 The Democrats are all in it for a rigged Department of Justice and a powerful Department of Justice that targets politicians. That's what they're all about now. The Democrats are all in it for a rigged Department of Justice and a powerful Department of Justice that targets politicians. That's what they're all about now. This FBI lawyer, they were investigating the Trump campaign and they were doing it using Carter Page, who was at one time a foreign policy advisor to the Trump campaign. Carter Page had had contacts with Russians. the fbi because they've been hijacked by liberal interest was desperate to associate the trump team with the russians to prove their collusion hoax which was totally fake they couldn't prove it because they had no evidence so when carter page had contacts with russians some genius at the fbi was like this is great we finally got our pp hoax it's real the collusion hoax is real one of trump's foreign policy advisors have contacts with Russians. What was the problem with the story, though, folks? What was the problem?
Starting point is 00:29:08 The problem was Carter Page's contacts with Russians was at the behest of our CIA. Where he was a source, he was talking to Russians to get them nailed to the wall on espionage charges because we asked him to our intelligence agency so the allegations in this document that he's now pled guilty to the fbi lawyer are that when they found out that these contacts were not only innocent contacts but on behalf of our government carter page's contact with the russians and they asked the cia about it they said hey cia was this guy a contact for you and they said oh yeah he was a source the fbi lawyer altered the email to say he wasn't a source to make those contacts look nefarious but yeah yeah tell me again how the system's not rigged but danny pled guilty yeah he gets no jail time
Starting point is 00:30:01 remember george poppet opelous went to jail mike flynn was going to be sentenced to jail despite the department of justice dropping the case if he didn't get a pardon no joke he was probably gonna at some point he's been totally bankrupted roger stone you get a a SWAT team at his house in the morning he's a roger stone i don't even know how old roger stone is i last time i checked he was not like a ninja remember revenge of the ninja i'm pretty sure he was not the show kasugi ninja character who was going to come out with the stars and the ninja swords it's roger stone but he gets a SWAT team but you alter an email you don't even get this part tell me again with a straight face how the system's not rigged, please. There's another one. Biden loves the rigged system.
Starting point is 00:30:52 He's benefited from it. The rigged media, big business, Democrat symbiote, academia, Hollywood. You could throw a whole bunch. Remember, it's the elites versus us. That's what it is. It's not me trying to generate some fake class struggle.
Starting point is 00:31:12 It's a real class struggle. If you're connected, you're in the in crowd, you're all set. If you're not and you're one of the deplorables, you'll be a target the rest of your life. That's very real. So not only if you're an FBI lawyer, you know, alters documents, you get off almost scot-free, no time no nothing you don't even get disbarred if you're a member of the biden crime family the media will suppress the story right before the election about your son taking payoffs
Starting point is 00:31:36 from the united states's worst foreign enemies china and russia they'll suppress that story for you which they did twitter worked on the Democrats behalf, just like fake book and others, like Mark Zuckerberg said in the beginning, they're all in for the Bidens. But not only that, the people who are investigating. Investigating your son are put at a disadvantage. Because Joe Biden shows you the nerve on these people, how they don't even care. They give you the double-barreled middle finger every single day. People defending Hunter Biden in this case, lawyers, this is not a joke. People defending Hunter Biden against these charges that he sold the country out to China and Russia are now getting appointments in the Department of Justice that's supposed to be prosecuting the case.
Starting point is 00:32:25 This is not funny. I'm not, this is not, this is me. You know, I laugh when I'm so deeply disturbed, when they take blood from me because I'm afraid of taking blood. Yeah, don't let my six foot, 200 pound frame fool you. I am a big wuss. I don't like needles. I laugh because if not, I think I'll cry and humiliate myself. That's that laughter now. Watch this clip by Tucker Carlson in case you think I'll cry and humiliate myself. That's that laughter now.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Watch this clip by Tucker Carlson in case you think I'm making any of this up. The lawyer defending Joe Biden's kid is now going to get an appointment in the Department of Justice that's supposed to be prosecuting him. Check this out. Who exactly is running the Justice Department? We've got some exclusive reporting on that tonight. In one of his very first acts as president, Joe Biden appointed someone called Nicholas McQuaid to run the DOJ's criminal division, the all-important criminal division. Turns out that's the same criminal division that's currently investigating Biden's son, Hunter. So who is this Nicholas McQuaid exactly? Well, this show can tell you that he is a former business partner of Hunter Biden's new criminal defense attorney,
Starting point is 00:33:30 a man called Christopher Clark. Hunter Biden apparently hired Clark in December to help him with the federal investigation into his business dealings, the criminal investigation that DOJ is conducting. Both McQuaid and Clark were law partners together at Latham and Watkins. They worked on the same cases right up until McQuaid took the job at the Department of Justice. On January 21st of this year, the same day Nicholas McQuaid was featured in Justice Department press release, Latham and Watkins filed a motion in court to withdraw McQuaid as an attorney he was working on with Christopher Clark. So that means Joe Biden put as the head of the criminal division, the partner of the guy his son had hired to defend him against the criminal division. Whoa. So precision matters. Let me be clear on this. I don't want to mess this up.
Starting point is 00:34:25 will now be a guy who's partners with a lawyer who was defending joe biden's son in an fbi investigation where he may have sold out the country to china and russia joe biden the current president's son and the guy running the division is partners with the lawyer defending joe biden's son nah it doesn't it doesn't sound like a rigged, rigged system. Where's the media on this story? Showing you how the media is rigged too because of people like the coffee boy at CNN. Can you imagine if that was Donald Trump? Donald Trump Jr. was under investigation by the DOJ for taking a payoff from the Moscow mayor,
Starting point is 00:35:01 a friend of Putin's wife. So he's under investigation. He has a lawyer. Donald Trump's lawyer is Joey Bag of Donuts and Joey Bag of Donuts partner, Johnny Bag of Donuts gets hired to run the criminal division of the DOJ. I'm sure the coffee boy at CNN who promoted the pee pee hoax forever to the embarrassment of himself, his network and his family elsewhere. I'm sure he'd cover that story, right? Oh yeah, he would. He'd be all over it. It would be plastered on the chyron at CNN 24 hours a day until somebody
Starting point is 00:35:31 resigned or stepped down. But because it's Joe Biden doing it, nobody cares. But tell me again how the system's not rigged and how if you're a Democrat, you're in it for the little guy. You think the little guy gets those same courtesies? You think the little guy who gets arrested for opening up his business and fined $100,000 like the Attila's Gym guys in New Jersey? You think they get to appoint to the New Jersey State Department of Justice, whatever vehicle's prosecuting them, the partner of the people who are their lawyers? You think they get to do that? No, why not? Because we're the smelly people.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Again, as a YouTube, whatever commenter had said at one point, the smellies. We're all the smellies. The elites, they get to do whatever they want. And they advertise it to check out this piece of just the news. Again, I'll be in the show notes that I encourage you to read it. John Solomon site, just the news. Joe Biden's brother touts his proximity to the new president ad for a Florida law firm this is not the first time a Biden family member has used their last name to advance business interests I hate these what if this was the Trump thing but again it
Starting point is 00:36:43 shows you how we're not living by an equal set of standard unifying principles. The elites have one set of rules. The great unwashed, us, the little people, have a separate set of rules. A totally separate and distinct set of rules. We get hurt by those rules. The rigged system benefits the elite bow tie wearing class.
Starting point is 00:37:06 By the way, I shouldn't say, really, I love bow ties. I don't like that, but bow ties are cool. I shouldn't like stigmatize them. Bow ties are cool. Not wrong, but you get the point. Because there are people who actually go out there and work for a living and make bow ties. I'm talking about the fake bow tie wearing class that go and eat their foie. I said foie gras, by the way.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Some lady sent me an email saying I said it wrong. I said foie gras. That's the way I said it. She said I said foie gras. Did I? I got to go check that. All right, let me get to my third sponsor, and then I'm going to get back to this, how these unifying principles, the Democrats don't want unifying principles because you can't rig a system if the rules apply to everyone, right? Republicans are now totally taking over what used to be the Democrat messaging space. We're in it for the little guy, small business, tolerance, the fight for equality. That's our thing now. Real equality, not Democrats, fake equality, equity, they call it now. And the Democrats are now in for a rigged system.
Starting point is 00:38:00 If you have a unifying set of rules, you't rig this system that's the point that's why they don't want unifying principles and they don't want to talk about it that's why the media will turn on a dime when it's a story about don jr but when it's a hunter biden story they'll ignore it like it never happened because you can't have one set of rules i'll get to that in a minute too how when you flip the script on them and you expose this, they freak out right away. This next story is genius, what someone did. They changed the name out like I just did from kind of a Trump story, from a Democrat story to a Trump story. And other Democrats freaked out when they thought it was about Trump. Story's hilarious. Let me get to my third sponsor. Hey, just like I've been taking on
Starting point is 00:38:44 Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, Patriot Mobile is taking on the mobile provider swamp and they have some exciting news to share. Check this out. Patriot Mobile just expanded their coverage, which will make it easy for even more Americans to dump their big name carriers who charge way too much

Now, because these political tectonic plates are shifting, and because we have now stolen the Democrats' message completely, which bothers them because they've been lying to people forever. Rent it for the little guy. rent it for the middle class.
Starting point is 00:40:27 They have to avoid at all costs any sense of a principled argument. That's why every time we call something out, they say, well, that's whataboutism. Well, I want to show you a series of tweets here from a Twitter account called cuomo watch of course eponymously named after well not a person andrew cuomo someone else is running it named after the dreadful governor of new york responsible for the deaths of multiple people in nursing homes because he was too stupid to not figure out that sending people infected with coronavirus into nursing homes with older folks who may be sick was a bad idea. So this Twitter account at Cuomo Watch put up this quote.
Starting point is 00:41:11 This is troubling. Like, no one should say this. Quote, if you see anybody from the Cuomo administration in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they're not welcome anymore anywhere. It's attributed to Maxine Cuomo watch. Well, when that tweet went out, dreadful, right? We don't call for violence on people in the Cuomo administration, God forbid. So why did this Twitter account do that? Well, they didn't. You guys get the joke? It was Maxine Waters, liberal Democrat, who said
Starting point is 00:41:53 that about the Trump administration. All this Twitter account did is swap Trump for Cuomo. Well, let's watch what happened. These Democrats in the New York State, the New York State government were too stupid to figure out that was a Maxine Waters quote. It says Maxine Cuomo watch on the tweet. So a guy by the name of Carl Heastie, not that bright, says, my gosh, this is appalling and dangerous. Encouraging violence must never be tolerated.
Starting point is 00:42:19 Shame on whoever is behind this kind of garbage. Yeah, we agree. It was Maxine Waters waters but because he put get out and confront the cuomo administration in there when the original quote was get out and confront the trump administration now all of a sudden they're upset but when maxine waters said it the democrats weren't upset at all they ran cover for it notice how when you unifying principles when you swap trump for cuomo the Democrats are upset. But as long as someone's encouraging violence against the Trump administration, all of a sudden they don't they run cover for them.
Starting point is 00:42:53 No, no, that's OK. Wait, I thought we were against violence. Republicans are. We've been the anti-violence dialogue party forever. No, no. The Democrats say they're in it for the little guy. No, no. That's that's that's us. That's us. The Democrats don't care about violence as long as it's a recommendation of violence against the trump team here's some more blue check mark democrats who were very upset about this quote apparently not realizing it was a liberal democrat who said it here's a jeffrey dinowitz what's wrong with you threatening violence against duly elected representatives of the people in new york is fascism the hatred unleashed by trump and his gang of thugs continues to reverberate throughout the
Starting point is 00:43:29 country enough is enough fascinating jeffrey dinowitz didn't say that when the actual quote by maxine waters was recommending violence against the trump team he only cared when they swapped out trump for cuomo showing you again what that these people don't have any principles at all. Here's another one, last one. Here's a Debbie Ross. Really? Did we not learn anything from the Capitol insurrection? We must condemn violence and harassment in any form. Stop the violence, mob mentality, hashtag. stop the violence mob mentality hashtag again she said nothing when maxine waters actually said that quote she only appeared to care when it was a fake thank god tweet for violence and confrontation against cuomo team members which we've always condemned, but again, not Democrats. Calls for violence and incitement for them, as long as it's calls for incitement,
Starting point is 00:44:32 violence and confrontation against Republicans are A-OK. They're only concerned when you swap the names out. The GOP is figuring this out, folks, so Republicans are starting to figure it out starting again there's a lot of bad Republicans out there we still have the Adam Kinzinger's in the world who pretend to be principled and are really big frauds but they're starting to figure out that our unrequited love affair with capitalism and free markets, the principle's a good thing as long as the companies we support abide by those very same principles. But most of them in the big tech space sadly don't, and we're starting to figure this out. Check out this article by Breitbart.
Starting point is 00:45:17 Again, you'll see it up in the show notes. By James Pinkerton, a bad romance, how Republicans fell out of love with big tech. I want you to see this poll because I want to, you know, I don't want to be Debbie down or a Danny down or all the time with these shows where, you know, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad. I've tried to tell you over the course of the last few weeks, despite the fact that it's been a bad couple months and ladies and gentlemen, my personal life, it's been a thousand times worse. couple months and ladies and gentlemen my personal life it's been a thousand times worse hope there were people who were you know locked up in prisoner war camp prisoner of war camps who've had it 10 000 times worse than us and i i know personally quite a few of them a couple of
Starting point is 00:45:59 them lived in maryland when i ran for office am i going to say their names because i don't want you know people to attack them and their houses to burn down because they dared talk to a conservative at one point. But you know, when you talk to them, they tell you the one thing that got them through it. I mean, the most disastrous of disastrous situations. Being in a foreign prison with an enemy of the United States where torture was commonplace. The one thing was hope. There's always hope. Remember what I told you, that famous quote, an enemy is not vanquished until he considers himself so. No matter how bad you think
Starting point is 00:46:34 it's gotten on your end, you are not defeated until you consider yourself so. As long as there is a shred of fight left in you, that fight is still there. They want you demoralized. Don't be. We're going to turn this corner eventually. Maybe not tomorrow. Maybe not next week. But Republicans are waking up. The good ones.
Starting point is 00:46:55 The bad ones are sellouts. Forget them. We got to get rid of them primarily. From the Breitbart piece. Look, this partisan split, Republicans being tougher on tech than Democrats, is further visible on the issue of remedies. 61% of Republicans now want to break up big tech, that is, apply antitrust laws, compared to 55% of Democrats. Wait, I thought that was the Sherman Antitrust Act, the Clayton Act, antitrust and anti-monopoly laws. That was typically the realm of Democrats, right?
Starting point is 00:47:23 Democrats told us forever, for decades, they were in it for the little guy. Didn't they tell you monopolies were bad? Those are the big guys. I'm in it for the little guy, the small business. Really? Because more Republicans now support breaking up big tech monopolies that are unquestionably monopolies than Democrats do.
Starting point is 00:47:38 So maybe what the media has been telling you forever to make you believe and gaslighting you that Democrats are in it for the little guy is bull stuff it's the gop that knows the good ones that understand the system is rigged it's the gop that understands that facebook and twitter have rigged the system oh no dan they're free market companies you can always start your own Facebook and Twitter. We tried that in Parler, remember? And they tried to, well, they didn't try.
Starting point is 00:48:10 They successfully wiped this off the internet. The website, we'll be back. But yeah, I thought that, I thought that, you know, free market, right? Free markets, you can just start your own. No, you can't because the system is rigged and Republicans know it. So now we're going to use that system, the monopoly laws, to break these companies up that have rigged the system.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Apple has a total monopoly on its app store. Apple doesn't like your app. They can wipe you off the face of the earth on their devices, which dominates the very definition of monopoly. I thought the left was against monopolies. No, no, no. The left is into power. And when monopolies, cartels, militarization, weaponizing the Department of Justice with those things help the Democrats get power, they are absolutely in love with the things they claim they tell you they hate.
Starting point is 00:48:57 It's the biggest scam I have ever seen. You know what? Let me get to my last sponsor, and I'll show you another story here. How, again, there's no unifying principles here at all because the system is rigged the idea of one set of rules for everybody means you can't rig this system the democrats don't want that they want their rules meaning no rules and rules that apply to you that they can weaponize to put you in jail and bankrupt you that's why they are so afraid if that's what aboutism you're damn right it is
Starting point is 00:49:25 what about the rules oh you don't the rules don't apply to you maxine waters can call for violence against the trump team but the minute we change that out to cuomo all of a sudden it's a big deal i thought we had one set of rules silly me our final sponsor today lifelock and by the way on the other side of this i'm going to show you again how the rules do not apply there are no set of rules rules that only apply to one are not rules at all hey scammers are using news of the second stimulus to steal americans personal information some common scams include offers to get your payment faster fake checks or unsolicited messages by someone claiming to be from the IRS.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Be very careful of this stuff. Links with these emails or text messages could be dangerous malware or phishing scams. It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives. Every day we put our information at risk on the internet. In an instant, cybercriminals could take what's yours,
Starting point is 00:50:20 your savings credit and your reputation. This happened to me. My identity was stolen. It was a disaster. It took me about a year to clean it up. I have LifeLock.

So again, the Democrats' greatest fear are rules and things like the Bill of Rights and
Starting point is 00:51:34 the Constitution, which are essentially rules we all have to live by because you can't rig a system if everybody has to live by the rules. So the Democrats will ally with monopolies, big business, militarization, the Department of Justice, whatever they need to do to align with their buddies, to crush the opposition and get the rules only apply to them, they'll do. And it's why they love Amazon. Just the news, Amazon's still committed to hosting Twitter, even as Twitter leaves up incendiary content. Wait, wait, I thought Parler was removed from Amazon Web Services because of what they cited as incendiary content. So Twitter has the same thing. And Amazon's like, come on over.
Starting point is 00:52:08 Twitter will host you. Why? Because there are no rules. Big business is in the tank for Democrats. Big business gives money to Democrats. Democrats then leave office and go to work for big business, which gives more money to Democrats, which promote policies that benefit big business. which promote policies that benefit big business. What a scam. Now, do you see why I'm trying to give you some sense of optimism? As this American Renaissance happens and the great unwashed us out there, the workers, the patriots, the liberty lovers,
Starting point is 00:52:44 people who go to work every day and build this country, who drive the trucks, who build the houses, clean the floors, landscape the workers, the patriots, the liberty lovers, people who go to work every day and build this country, who drive the trucks, who build the houses, clean the floors, landscape the property, draw out the architectural plans for your homes, fly the planes, clean the planes, how they're all starting to wake up, how they're all starting to say, you know what? Trump was right.
Starting point is 00:53:04 The system is rigged. This Biden guy has been in office a week. He said he hated executive orders because he can't get anything passed through the legislative process. That's all he's doing is executive orders. I thought he hated executive orders. This Biden guy has been in office a week. His brother's on video promoting a law firm.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Hey, I'm brother with Joe Biden, the president of the United States. Wink it or not. Joe Biden, the president of the United States. Wink it or not. Joe Biden, who has other brothers who were involved with his son, who were in shady deals with enemies of the United States, kicking back money,
Starting point is 00:53:34 allegedly to the big guy, Joe Biden, which is under investigation. But the investigation, which is really weird, one of the lawyers for Hunter Biden's buddy is now being appointed to oversee the department conducting the investigation.
Starting point is 00:53:46 But yeah, yeah, yeah. The system's not rigged at all. No. Now you see why this Washington Times headline matters so much. Read this article. This is a good one. I know I've said that about a few of the articles
Starting point is 00:53:59 in the show today, but the show notes are important. It makes the show easier to follow even afterwards because we're limited in time. We can't read every article on the air. This is worth your time. Washington Times, Jennifer Harper. Be in the show notes. Trump quietly, quote, getting stronger.
Starting point is 00:54:15 Wait, wait, wait. We weren't told that. The elite class, you know, the coffee fetcher at CNN and others, the media people told us Trump is going. He's disgraced. He's disgraced. Paul, you heard that, right? He's disgraced. It's over. Nobody likes Trump anymore. The movement's dead. MAGA's dead. Forget it. Anyone who supported Trump is gone. Forget it. It's over. That's what
Starting point is 00:54:37 they told us, right? Well, it's interesting because a reporter, not a conservative reporter, by the way, went out to this rally in Wyoming against Matt Gates was running it. He is a MAGA guy. They had a rally against Liz Cheney, a Republican who has come out vigorously against Donald Trump and the whole MAGA movement. That's not working out well for Liz Cheney, by the way. So a reporter went out there to cover this rally in Wyoming against Liz Cheney, and she found out some really interesting things. Here are some quotes from the people there. Well, this is from the reporter. She says, quote, I'm really happy I went out there and saw it. I think there's a huge disconnect right now between Washington and the rest of the country.
Starting point is 00:55:16 Oh, gee, you think you think. She says, and, you know, Trump, people don't want to hear anything against Trump. Actually, the more he stays out of the media the more he becomes this martyr this looming figure over the gop the reporter told msnbc in the aftermath of her visit here's some of the comments she heard quote a lot of people said they aren't really republicans that they're for trump that's it and it's just i think he's actually getting i think the base is getting stronger truly miss palmieri the reporter advised wait that's that's not what the coffee fetcher told us the media elites that want to censor these types of opinions god forbid it got out on fox news that trump was getting stronger
Starting point is 00:56:06 or somewhere else because it's actually happening god forbid the truth got it because it's actually real a reporter from the other side of the fence is acknowledging that what you've been told how trump is disgraced his political bank account is empty is false stelter and the coffee fetcher crowd they want to be sure you don't hear that. God forbid the momentum were to increase and Trump were to make the greatest comeback in American history in 2024. Republicans are getting it.
Starting point is 00:56:38 They're realizing that a blind allegiance to their party and big business, because we had believed in capitalism and free markets, may be destroying us because big business doesn't believe in us or capitalism. They believe in themselves. So why should we support them? Dan, that's Republican party heresy. Nah, not for me. I have no allegiance to Republicans who have no allegiance to our principles. You're worse than the Democrats. At least the Democrats don't try to fake it and be like one of us.
Starting point is 00:57:10 You're an infiltrator, a poser. You know, growing up in Glendale, Queens, one of the worst things you could be called was a poser. Everybody knew a poser, right? Talk about all the fights he's been in, how much his car costs, how many girlfriends he had, you know, the poser. Dating like 72 chicks, man. Really, guy doesn't even have a girlfriend. My car, I bought that car, 40 grand.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Really, it's funny. I surfed for sale last week for 10. You know the posers, right? It's the worst thing to be called. The Democrats, party of posers. Now, the Democrats come back to that, because I know some of you liberals listening be like wow donald trump did that well did he that's interesting did he really do that
Starting point is 00:57:49 donald trump ran as a politician right what did he promise you he built the wall built it not as much as we could have but built that wall oh he didn't and what is joe biden pledging to stop the construction on the wall that donald trump didn't build just checking said he would appoint conservative judges we got 234 of them in three supreme court justices check tax cut he promised check growing economy we had for the first time in eight years because obama couldn't reach a three percent gdp growth got those tax cuts promised deregulation we got that promised a pro-life agenda, we got that. So yeah, I'm just checking.
Starting point is 00:58:26 Was he really the poser or was that you guys the whole time? Just asking. So again, on the optimistic note, how we're finally starting to catch on that fealty to big business and the Republican brand was probably a bad idea. Maybe we should start seeking out candidates instead of which candidates, instead of the label candidates label themselves. We're figuring it out. Look at this story.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Washington Examiner. Republicans across the country are pushing for stricter voting rules after the 2020 election. Folks, no one's declaring victory here. I'm not suggesting to you, oh my gosh, look, the disastrous 2020 election, problem solved. I am not telling you that. I'm telling you that there is a renaissance right now happening amongst patriots and liberty lovers throughout the United States that are starting to figure it out in mass numbers. starting to figure it out in mass numbers that we have to dump the sellouts in our party for more principled people.
Starting point is 00:59:33 That the Trump era and the path we took out there, listen, there were some downsides too. It was way too much government spending and that's got to change. Those are our principles. Our principles are, we don't want the government spending money it doesn't have. We't just abandon it because it was trump but overall we aligned with a candidate who finally finally whether it's transactional or not is irrelevant trump
Starting point is 00:59:54 who enacted our ideas rather than talked about it i told you that this 2022 election for congressmen and senators throughout the country, that the two things that will matter are tech tyranny and voting free and fair elections and voter integrity measures. You're now seeing it. Why? Because you're calling your assemblymen, your delegates, your state senators, your congressmen, your senators. You're doing and you're learning. You're calling them and saying, hey, where are you on fixing our voter laws so we can have free and fair elections? And they're hearing it. Why do you think, by the way, that article, you should read it. It talks about three
Starting point is 01:00:33 states, Georgia, Arizona, and Pennsylvania, how Republicans in those states are now starting to clean up their elections. You may say, Dan, it's too late. We already lost. Folks, it's never too late. Remember, an enemy is only vanquished when they consider themselves so. It's only too late. We already lost. Folks, it's never too late. Remember, an enemy is only vanquished when they consider themselves so. It's only too late if you consider yourself vanquished. I don't. I'm not willing to give up. I have had a tidal wave of bad news you have no idea. I'm not even remotely close to the red line give up meter. even remotely close to the red line give up meter. Life is meaningless otherwise.
Starting point is 01:01:09 What's the point? Not ready to give up and you shouldn't be either. You know, folks, I'm going to have to cover this tomorrow. You know what? I'll cover one screenshot from it. Fair enough, Paul. We'll cover the other one tomorrow. Speaking of which, I just told you how we're waking up and republicans are discovering now the good ones voter integrity and big tech are the two
Starting point is 01:01:31 big issues for 2022 don't even talk about anything i love taxes spending i love without fixing big tech tyranny so that we can speak and our elections will never win again those are the issues in 2022 everybody needs to have the horse blinders on. There is a fascinating article in the Wall Street Journal, one of the best I've read in a long time, about how big tech gets around using Section 230, their censorship of conservatives, and how the Constitution, this is the headline of the piece, can actually crack Section 230. This piece is by philip hamburger subtitle is tech tech companies think the statute 230 allows them to censor with impunity the law is seldom so simple here's the first screenshot from the piece how liberals again who were supposed you know at one point supposed to be big advocates for
Starting point is 01:02:23 the aclu and civil liberties and the ability to speak. They're not. They're active totalitarian censors now. Republicans are on the side of free speech, dialogue, a free media. That's just a fact. Democrats like Brian Stelter are totalitarians. They want every single opinion that questions their gaslighting crushed so they can lie to you with impunity and the tech companies do their dirty deed for them so the liberal comeback is it's not a first amendment issue these are private companies ah al contraire to the wall street journal piece quote instead the danger lies in the statutory protection for massive companies that are akin to common carriers and
Starting point is 01:03:00 function as public forums i'll translate this for you in a minute. This guy's talking about 230. The First Amendment protects Americans even in privately owned public forums. Oh, oh, liberals hadn't heard that before? Such as company towns. And the law ordinarily obliges common carriers to serve all customers on terms that are fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory. Here, however, and non-discriminatory.
Starting point is 01:03:26 Here, however, it's the reverse. Being unable to impose the full breadth of Section 230 censorship, Congress protects the companies so they can do it. This article is brilliant. There were so many highlights from it. Candidly, it was tough to pick just two screenshots. I'll cover it more again tomorrow, and I'll get to the second half of this because this section proves right here in a quick translation that what the democrats their liberal buddies their media allies and the elites the them where the
Starting point is 01:03:55 us the actual working class in america what they're doing to us in the name of combating misinformation is actually a full-blown censorship campaign run by government officials who can't do it themselves because of the bill of rights so they're deputizing twitter and facebook to do it for them and how there is a ton of legal precedent that's what this piece covers showing how you can't do that you can can't, as the government, ban political speech, but then because you can't do it, use your AOC and Ro Khanna Democrats Twitter account
Starting point is 01:04:33 to encourage private companies to do the same. Ladies and gentlemen, there is a wide breadth and body of legal precedent how this is entirely illegal to do. You can't empower parts of the United States Code Section 230 to allow private companies to do what you can't do yourself.
Starting point is 01:04:52 Censor political voices. Not going to work. I'll get to the second part of this tomorrow. And tomorrow I'll give you, some of you may not want to hear this. You know I'm on your team. But I want you to be better debaters. So what makes me a better debater is giving you both sides,
Starting point is 01:05:09 even when the other side is kind of stupid. I'm going to give you the other side of the GameStop story. I've given you our side, how they've rigged the system. There's no question. Wall Street rigs the system. They short a stock.
Starting point is 01:05:21 They go on TV. They talk down a stock. Wall Street folks make a lot of money, give the money back to Democrats. Democrats then leave and go back to work for Wall Street. Then Wall Street Democrats then go back and leave to work for the government to enact new laws that benefit Wall Street. Remember, it's to them. But I do want to give you the other side of this tomorrow so that you can already think ahead what the liberals and the them class is going to say when you talk about the GameStop story. Don't miss tomorrow's show.
