Look, a shiny red object. Hey, look over here.

Oh. And it happened every single time. I got that. The vaccine debate just exploding now. The culture is entirely shifting. And a lot of people who went out there and supported vaccine mandates and jamming this thing in you against your will, while this show took a stand and gave up a lot to do it, a lot of those people are going to have egg on their face.

Why don't you be like, well, sometimes. We may be, you know, sometime in the future, I may move to more than an hour. I've been thinking about that. I hesitated telling you that, but I may go to a show that's longer than an hour. I'm not sure. Joe and I, that was our goal. And I'm afraid to get away from my BHAG, but I enjoy doing the show and I leave too much on the table sometimes. Just a thought. Love to hear your feedback on that. So after the vaccine debacle, why would anyone trust the government anymore? And the debacle from the vaccine is growing. And when I, I think debacle is actually almost an underestimation of how bad the situation's growing. Okay. There's clearly now information developing about side effects from the vaccine

that were either unanticipated, that's the most benign explanation, anticipated yet ignored, a bad explanation, or the worst explanation, anticipated and covered up and not ignored. In other words, they knew it and they covered up with the worst explanation. Now, an argument based in science and reason, which we are going to stick to on this show no matter what, is there's now no longer a question that side effects have developed from the vaccine. That we know. But it is a fair and open question to say, well, okay, well, what's the degree of it? Okay, let's not get lost in hysteria on either side, because as I'm going to show you in the Hunter Biden case, in the Joe Biden documents case in a minute, when you get lost in the hysteria, the real scandal

gets covered up because the left focuses on small minutiae and the hysteria and forgets the real scandal that you were forced to jam something in your arm that candidly they knew very little about. I've had this enormous fight going on with one of my biggest business partners for now over a year about this thing covered widely in the news over the damn mandate. I've also told you that early on, I was one of the test cases for this thing because of what I was going through with a blood cancer and the lack of a functioning immune system. And it's the single biggest freaking medical mistake of my entire life. And I'm living in an absolute fear about this from this point on, what this thing could do long-term. But I'm sensing an enormous cultural shift here, folks. There was enormous pressure early on to shut up about the vaccine. You guys know,

you lived through it with me. There was enormous pressure being put on people to shut up about the vaccine. And let me be clear. It's not, I work at Fox. Fox never told me what to say. I know what you, listen, I might even, because if people get crazy about this, they never ever told me what to say about the vaccine. And nobody, nobody from Fox said, get the vaccine or else to me. Nobody. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the obvious argument with the company I did work with at Cumulus and Westwood, at Cumulus, the parent company to Westwood. This was an enormous fight I had with them over forcing people to get this thing.

It was a choice. If you wanted to take the chance and you were afraid of COVID, not understanding what the long-term effects of this thing were, but you were afraid you were going to die, that was your choice to do it. But the culture early on to pressure people to shut up was bananas. It was crazy. And we didn't. We went out there and spoke about it anyway and wound up forfeiting away one of the best business opportunities of our lives to do it. But that's fine because moral opportunities matter more. But the shift I'm seeing happening

right now over this vaccine, I'm telling you is cross-partisan lines. This is no longer about pure politics. Yes. I mean, in the larger picture, I get it. More liberal Democrats will still tell you, take the damn thing, jam it in your arm. It's wonderful. Kiss its ass. I get that. But I'm sensing a shift now where even some people who are Democrats, locals, friends, people I know not die hard like partisans, but people who definitely I know voted Biden are starting to ask questions of me that haven't been asked before. Like, hey, do you think this thing is safe? Remember, all politics are local. And there is nothing more local than what's going on inside this thing you call your body. People are starting to ask real questions, folks.

Why do you open up the show? We got the Biden classified documents scandal. We got this thing just exploding. Why open up the show? We got the Biden classified document scandal. We got this thing just exploding. Why open up the show with this? Because folks, a video went viral this weekend. Scott Adams. Scott Adams has a very popular social media account, comments on political issues a lot. Well, Scott Adams, who I guess in the past had spoken out about the vaccine and now has had a change of heart, put out this video about the vaccine this weekend. And the video went viral, was dominating Twitter. Here's Scott Adams on the cultural shift now going on with the vaccine from people who were formerly pro-vaccine, who now understand that they're skeptical of the side effects.

I want to say in advance, I disagree with the language he uses here. I am not anti-vaccine. I am pro-science. And the science never backed this thing up the way the Democrats were saying it did, the vaccine that is. So let me just say, dispute the language. But the assertions he makes here are not inaccurate. Check this out.

They feel better. The thing they're not worrying about is what I have to worry about, which is I wonder if that vaccination five years from now, because really the anti-vaxxers, I think we're really just distrustful of big companies and big government. That's never wrong. It's never wrong to distrust government. It's never wrong to distrust big companies, right? So if you just took the position, let's just distrust everything the government did. Well, you won. You won. You won completely. I did not end up in the right place. Agree? You would all agree with that, right? I did not end up in the right place agree you would all agree with that right i did not end up in the right

place the right place would be natural immunity no no vaccination big deal folks this is an enormous cultural shift happening now it's not just him scott adams it's you're seeing even people like liana when the former planned the former Planned Parenthood head, who could not have been a bigger proponent of mandates, who, although still on the vaccine, not so sure on other issues, has started to fold a little bit. You're seeing a big cultural shift here now. Folks, let me give you the downsides and the upsides, if there are any, from this. What I believe, the vaccine is going to be one of the biggest public health debacles in human history. I believe that now.

That's why I've dedicated so much of my show to it recently. The downside to this is fairly obvious. You are going to see, and the degree of the problem I opened up the show with, to be clear and keep it anchored in science, the degree of the problem is open for debate. We don't know yet because we got to let this play out over time. Sadly, you're going to see more side effects develop because time is going to take its toll. If the spike protein from the mRNA vaccine has some of the side effects on a percentage of the population, obviously the percentage is based on a number over time. You're going to see those numbers materialize. It may work the other way as well. You may see that the side effects have been overblown by some.

You may see either one of those. I hope the latter is true. And anyone hoping the former is true, I'm sorry, is insane. Oh, let's hope a couple million people dies. No, let's please. Let's not. Because those couple million people include a lot of people I really care about, including me. So the downside of this, the enormous downside is you are going to see, I believe, a human tragedy as a lot of people are impacted by this thing going forward. If there is some small sliver of hope in this growing tragedy, folks, it's that the natural distrust of an entity I've warned you to distrust your entire life,

the government, has now reached a critical mass. Government always, always has a mercenary purpose. There is no benevolent purpose to government, ladies and gentlemen. Read the Federalist Papers. Was it Federalist 51, if men were angels? Men were angels wouldn't need government. They're not. Government's supposed to restrain the ill intentions of many men out there.

The problem with government is as they grow their power portfolio, Lord Acton was right, the power corrupts, and the absolute power they accumulate corrupts. Absolutely. Just look at what, if you want to spend a minute on a search engine, just look at what Lena Khan at the FTC, the federal trade commission is doing right now,

trying to unilaterally become a monarch by making sure every non-compete clause in the country basically disappears. She's not even an elected lawmaker. This is what's happening. And the mistrust of government is growing. Why is that a good thing? Why is that an upside? It's an upside because I'm hoping in essence that with these natural vicissitudes and ups and downs of life that we're on the upswing of a group of people here in the United States that may become a growing majority that'll be skeptical of government and vote for people who believe the same thing. And we'll get back maybe at some point in the future to some

form of restraint. We have big individual liberty and small government rather than big government and small individual liberty. There are a lot of people living in fear right now. Again, you know, I'm one of them. I don't mean to keep harping on this, but I'd be lying to you if I said that two to three hours of my day aren't spent trying to think of how much damage may have been done to my heart. I'm telling you, I monitor these things, and I just haven't felt right in a long time. And I don't know if that's the case,

but I'm just scared, and I know a lot of people are too too this is going to be a huge public health debacle all right i want to start with that because uh that that video really really says a lot there are a lot of people who are really you know take the vaccine shut your mouth it was starting to change your minds right now i'm seeing a big shift all right let's move on um so the biden classified documents scandal i i oh gosh yeah are you laughing yeah guys guys ladies this is not for this is weird because this is a segment this is the weirdest part of the show because this is a segment I'm going to cover that is absolutely, totally not directed at the actual listeners of the show.

So why are you covering it? I'm covering it because listeners of the show realize, again, you are a week, if not a month ahead of the news cycle. And you don't waste your time here because you don't fall in stupid traps set for you by stupid people so this is weird because i'm going to show you something you didn't do you wouldn't do and you're like well why do i need to see because i didn't do it so i i warned you last week loudly but I'm not going to play the clip. You can watch the show. It's a good way to look at me.

Here's what I said. You P1 listeners know. I said, please, on this Biden document scandal, there is a huge. Oh, wait, hold on. I even document. Hold on. All right. I even busted out the whiteboard this weekend on my Fox show to show you this is the scandal.

Ukraine and other countries gave Hunter Biden money. According to the business partner, Hunter Biden shuttled some money to Joe. Joe then lobbied for weapons and money to ukraine got the get the board it's only the biggest presidential scandal of our time that the president united states is what a foreign agent yes my monologue from the fox show this weekend where I covered this with the whiteboard went nuclear because everybody said, I think he's got it. The scandal here about the classified documents is not about documents, not about rent payments or visitors lists. It is about what they're hiding and what they're hiding is Joe Biden is a freaking foreign agent. And what did I say? I said, the left knows this. That's why the Biden team squirreled away classified documents.

The left understands. And what the left is going to do, because they do it every single time, is they're going to take you off the highway ramp with some detail that has nothing to do with this. And it has to do with it. And you're going to get lost. And what's the detail I warned you about? The detail is the rent payments. So according to some narrative that emerged, look, this $49,000 rent payment Hunter Biden said he made on a rental application it matches up perfectly with payments you get here and i said to you guys please don't get lost in this because there's no way to prove this thing it's a rental application hunter biden lies and i said to you it doesn't matter all that matters is hunter biden was giving joe money and when the second that they

show that these rent payments were for something else there's going to be some huge fact checker who's going to, and here we go. Here we go. As if on cue, Glenn Kessler, resident loser fact checker at the Washington Post with his piece, how a hundred Biden conspiracy theory grew from a lone tweet to a big megaphone. And what's it about? The rent payments. And every single time. So Glenn Kessler, this life loser at the Washington Post, what he could do as a legitimate journalist or fact checker, if he was one, what could he do, fellas? He could fact check Kareem Jean-Pierre's statements

that the search work was complete. He could fact check the statements about the Hunter Biden scandal and the firing of the prosecutor and how some of these classified documents are allegedly about Ukraine. He could fact-check statements they made about Joe Biden. I mean, now, I mean, right now, this is the perfect time for them to uncover the story that Joe Biden said he had nothing to do with his son's business dealings. They could focus on the actual story, but because they need to distract you and they do it every damn time and people fall for it, they fall in love with the

detail and now they'll discredit everyone. You see, look at this. The reality is Hunter Biden was paying $49,000 every three months for office space in D.C. Oh, there it is. It's over. That changes everything, Dan. That changes everything, buddy. This whole scandal's gone. So, Joe, there we go.

Forget this. Forget the whole scandal. Hunter Biden was, I warned you about, and the visitors list too. Forget the visitors list. If they get the visitors list, it's not going to be a visitors list. It's going to be a Secret Service name checklist that's not going to have the visitors that matter on it. Every time.

Every freaking time. Please stop. I'm begging you. Please stop. It's so obvious. I'm sorry. He's really like, please move on. I know I'm begging you please stop it's so obvious I'm sorry he's really like please move on I could I know I'm getting red I could sense in his head he's like you you what some things they they get under my skin so badly you are never ever wasting your time I can sniff these people from a mile away so here was a scandal this weekend. I had an LOL this one. The New York Times even forced the report. Investigators seized more classified documents from Biden's home.

Joe, as we says, hat tip, grandma Eileen, another prediction we made. What did I tell you? I said the left wing media was going to say in the beginning, well, it was only six documents and Trump had 300. So Trump clearly should go to jail for classified documents. By the way, that may not have even been classified because he can actually declassify them. But Biden, Biden's only six. And what did we say early on? I said, well, how do they know that? How do they know that? Well, they know that because Glenn Kessler and others don't bother fact checking the regime. And they, air quotes, knew that because Kareem Jean-Pierre, the resident liar for the White House, were anyone changing their vote? It's a Monday. No, new week. Sucks. No, it's holding fast.

Sucks, still sucks. The worst press secretary in the history of the United States, not even a close second, because they don't fact check the leftists and they believe them at the drop of a hat or they pretend they believe them. We were told that, don't worry, the search was over. More documents weren't going to be found. Now we know there's more on top of the more that were found on top of the more and more that were found the other day, too. Here's Kareem Jean-Pierre, Hat Tip RNC Research, telling us, what is it, I think six times or so, that don't worry, the search was complete. That's after they found documents and then found more documents after finding the documents they weren't supposed to find. Take a look. The search is clearly complete. They completed the search. The search is complete. He is confident in this process. You should assume

that it's been completed. Yes. After the search concluded last night, that search was completed last night. That's hilarious. I can't even tell you that one. That's funny. That's funny. By the way, some listener emailed me. He's like, he wants to see Guy on camera. He's like, I know Joe. I know him. I don't know Guy. One of these days, maybe. It's his call. But now all their conspiracy theories on the left have fallen apart. There were only six documents. Only found that Biden's off. Only found Biden's garage. They're all gone. All their conspiracy theories have now fallen apart. Don't get distracted. Stay on target. Biden is a foreign agent. I'll show you what I mean and how

the White House is freaking out. They've got a new talking head out there, a useful agent. I'll show you what I mean and how the White House is freaking out. They've got a new talking head out there, a useful idiot, the only one dumber than Kareem Jean-Pierre to go on camera and put his Facebook, a guy by the name of Ian Sams. This is the new Biden talking head idiot. He's apparently the only one dumb enough to go on camera and defend this growing debacle of the president of the United States being a foreign agent. I'll get to that in a second. By the way, where's the FBI search? Why is Ron Klain, Biden's chief of staff, leaving? Because of what I told you.

This is a big scandal. And they know it. Ron Klain, out the door. Oh, that's a shocker. His chief of staff. Thanks to your support, Patriot Mobile. Love this company. It's emerged as one of the leaders in the parallel economy,

So before I get to the new talking head dunce of the week, this guy, Ian Sams, again, the only useful idiot willing to go on camera.

He reminds me of, he's like the Susan Rice of this administration, even though Susan Rice is still in this administration. Remember Susan Rice with Benghazi? She was the only one willing to go on camera and repeat the the video the guy with the video and everybody was like no one else would do it but her these are what useful idiots look like so this guy apparently is the only one with with less character than anyone else was like yeah i'll go on tv and bs people i'm good with that but again i want to ask just a question i asked before we uh we took that quick break there why is the president's chief of staff ron clain the chief propagandist for this administration

a guy with no human dignity whatsoever who has defended every single biden debacle from the deaths in afghanistan to the fentanyl crisis to the immigration crisis at the border why is he now leaving again because of what i told you, the biggest scandal in presidential history is emerging right now. Is anything going to happen for the DOJ? I would bet my right arm on it that no, nothing's going to happen. We don't have a Department of Justice. We have a Department of Injustice. However, they are not going to be able to hide this much longer because I believe someone flipped. Someone being investigated in the Hunter Biden case flipped and told them about the documents.

They can't make that go away. They can't. The statements are on the record. There's only so much you can hide. Now, they can bury it, which they probably will, and not charge anyone. But they can't make it go away. Someone eventually is going to leak this. And I think that's what's been happening. And I believe it's been happening because even people on the inside know what's going on. They need to get rid of Biden before this comes out

in a presidential election, which he'll lose. That's what's going on here, folks. That's why you're seeing all this information develop. That's why you're seeing all this information develop. Klain is leaving clearly because he realizes the depth of the scandal right now. And where's the FBI search in these multiple locations? Now that we know Biden's team's lying, the search is complete. The search is complete. The search is complete.

I just played it for you. Now that we know, we categorically know they're lying, why hasn't the FBI searched? They're not cooperating. Remember their excuse? Do you remember their excuse in the Trump case that the FBI had to go search Mar-a-Lago because they weren't cooperating? Oh, the Biden team's cooperating. They're lying. How are they cooperating? They said six times the search was complete when it wasn't.

That's not cooperating. Where's the FBI search? Now you want to know why I'm convinced nothing legally is going to happen to this guy or his team at all? Because the government, the DOJ, and the upper levels of the FBI are totally corrupted. Totally.

The best thing we can hope for is political accountability. You'll get nothing on the legal side. We don't have a functioning legal system. The best thing we can hope for is political accountability. You'll get nothing on the legal side. We don't have a functioning legal system. The best thing we can hope for is political accountability. That's the bad news and the good news at the same time. Here's Ian Sams, the Susan Rice of this administration, humiliating himself on TV when asked about the number of documents. Because remember, that was their talking point point you see why this creates a sticky wicket for them their talking point in the beginning was trump's taking of classified documents with air quotes because there's a dispute over that i can't say that enough

trump's classified documents was a lot worse because he had more we only had six except they didn't now listen to his answer on that exact question it's complicated check this out can you give us a sense of how many classified documents we are now talking about total across all three locations? Sure, it's a good question. And actually, the answer to it is a little bit complicated because of this point that I'm making about the integrity of an ongoing Justice Department investigation. The Justice Department is going to be looking at all sorts of questions like that throughout their investigation. We want to be very, very careful to be respectful of the integrity of that investigation, to not speak too much about the underlying contents and materials, especially things that we may not know all the answers. So it's complicated. No. The this guy's an agit prop, useful idiot. The this guy's an agit prop, useful idiot. Again, a person with no human dignity whatsoever who clearly knows he's going to go on TV and lie and he's willing to do it.

I don't know if he just wanted some cable news hits, wanted to tell his family, his kids, his wife, his friends. I don't know his neighbors. Look, I'm going to be on TV tonight. It's not complicated. You told us it was only six documents. Trump was worse. That turned into more documents. Then you told us the search was complete. And then it turned into more documents, which turned into more documents at multiple locations. While the president's son is known to have been on the payroll of some of these foreign countries and companies and negotiating multi-million dollar deals with them

while one of the business partners alleges Biden was the chairman of the operation. That's a fact. It's not a conspiracy theory. I'll get to that in a second too. Because when all else fails, what do you go with, Joe? It's definitely a conspiracy theory. That's the last tried and true line.

Here's Pelosi, however. Sorry, it's a funny headline, a Bongino report. I'll try to throw it up at the end of the show. The guy who's my editor at Bongino report, Matt Palumbo, it's hilarious. Here, Pelosi was on this weekend discussing exactly that. Now, the Democrats are totally humiliated. Because why? Well, the obvious reason. We have golden rules on the show. What's one of the golden rules? Golden rules are not rules on one show.

You got to put that up. This is, I got to put this up. I'm sorry. This is from Bongino Report. If you're sick of Drudge Report and their left-leaning spin, go to bonginoreport.com where we give you the news from the conservative angle, which means the real one. This was a headline this weekend by Matt Palumbo.

So did you hear this, Joe? Nancy Pelosi, after the attack on her husband, hired a priest to exorcise the home of evil spirits. Matt notes this was an actual headline. He did it with her. Pelosi hired priests to exorcise home of evil spirits. Surprisingly, she survived unscathed. That's Matt. He links to an actual story. He cracks me up sometimes. He's got a book coming out about fact checkers, by the way,

which is killer. I'll get to that in a show later on. But Pelosi and the Dems are humiliated because one of my golden rules, they're evergreen rules that survive every show. Everything in DC with the Democrats, everything is not viewed through the lens of how do we help the country, small businesses, school kids, healthcare situation. Please, that's not any of what they're doing. The Democrats care about one thing right now. How is what I'm doing going to hurt Donald Trump? Now, if what you're doing hurts Donald Trump, that's good. Period. But what if it hurts the country?

It doesn't matter. This story is so damaging to them and they are so humiliated because this story helps Donald Trump because you're trying to charge him with a crime. I'm holding classified documents. He had the power to declassify while Joe Biden did the same thing, but worse because he has no power to declassify. Here's Pelosi humiliated, say, oh, yeah, the whole thing. It just depends. Check this out. Here's what you had to say about Donald Trump and his problems this summer. Take a look. If the nature of this of these documents is what appears to be. This is very serious.

Do you think that classified documents showing up in Joe Biden's office home six years after he was vice president, do you think that's also very serious? Well, it depends on the nature of the documents. What I said as you were listening was if the nature of these documents is what it appears to be. We don't know. You see it? You get it? Pelosi sums up one of the golden rules of the show.

Everything in D.C. is viewed through the lens, whether through Chris Wallace on the show, who rightfully calls her out. He's the journalist on the show. Or Pelosi, who can't answer a simple question about classified data. Oh, it depends. Yeah, it does depend on how it hurts Donald Trump. That's why she won't give an answer. She won't give an answer because she doesn't want to say anything that can be later on used in Donald Trump's defense. She doesn't care that Joe Biden

may have some serious national security documents. He may not, folks. He may have a bunch of classified documents. We over classify in the United States. There's no doubt. I've told you that before. Nothing's changed. But he may. He may have some documents that indicate that the president of the united states as i'm going to say now for the 10th or 50th time in the show is a foreign agent when that doesn't work of course throw the curveball which is what it's a conspiracy theory of course useful idiot back again we'll get to that in a second.

You're going to love it. Okay, here's Ian Sam's back again. When all else fails and you can't spin your way out of this, of course, just blame the whole thing. Here's the designated idiot on conspiracy theory. Listen to the end of this. As Chair Comer said on PBS the other night, influence peddling by the Biden administration. Is that something that this effect to connect the dots that way? Would that be an investigation that the administration would take seriously? Well, we'll see what they're going to do. I mean,

I think that they can say a lot, put out a lot of press releases, do a lot of media interviews. But we'll take a look at the letters that they send. We'll take a look at their actual investigative actions and we'll respond to the Congress as appropriate. I think that it's just very clear that a lot of these things are rooted in false conspiracy theory. There you go. Every time, folks, they are so predictable. I promise promise you we are always going to keep you a week to a month ahead of the news cycle here always you have my word on that we know i'm not karnak from the johnny carson show nor can i predict if you're not professor x from the x-men

comics okay i've just done this for a long time and having seen it from multiple angles, Secret Service, inside the White House, candidate, activist myself, they are unbelievably easy to predict. Now, Hunter Biden getting money and negotiating deals from Ukraine, negotiating multi-million dollar deals with Chinese Communist Party connected officials is categorically not a theory. It may be a conspiracy, but it is not a theory. It's a fact.

Joe Biden being pinned down by the business partner to these deals, Tony Bobulinski, as the chairman of the company. And the big guy in the emails who 10% was being held for is not a theory. Again, it may be a conspiracy, but it is a fact. It is not a theory. Joe Biden lobbying for weapons for Ukraine in the Biden administration and the Obama administration, excuse me, and the Biden administration in some cases. excuse me, and the Biden administration in some cases. Biden lobbying against Obama when he was his vice president to send stuff to Ukraine while his son was tangled in these international money deals, Ukraine included, is not a theory. Again, it may be a conspiracy, but it's a fact.

One last one. Biden canceling an anti-espionage program in the United States, an anti-spying program targeted at Chinese spying. When his son was negotiating multimillion dollar deals with Chinese Communist Party connected officials. It's not a theory. It may be a conspiracy, but it's a fact. Please, I'm begging everyone for the last time, don't get lost in minutia. Rent payments, visitor, it's all details. They're going to just take you down this path. Stay focused on this.

And what is this? What was in the documents? What was in the documents? That's what they're hiding. That Biden's a foreign agent. I'm sure of it. Now, Biden has an insurance policy to all of us. What do you guys think it is? He knows he's in trouble. I did not rehearse that with this guy. I swear to you. How does he know that? Well, he knows it because he knows, but he knows because I sent them some clips before the show. You knew where I was going going with that i don't attach the clips

with notes they say cut video from here to here good job yes he has an insurance policy in all this i mean it we say it in jest but joe's laughing and i'm like but it's really kind of true like kamala harris is so grotesquely incompetent and i believe is even more of a communist than Joe Biden, Biden's just weak. I don't ever believe Biden was a really hardcore liberal, but Biden's the most dangerous liberal of all because he's a weak liberal

who will do what the worst liberals want in order to get pats on the back. Kamala Harris is actually to the left of Biden. I'm sure of it. How do I know that? Because she outs herself all the time. She's his insurance policy. Because everybody up on Capitol Hill is scratching their head right now going,

if we impeach this guy over this, who are we stuck with? And the answer is you're stuck with Kamala. Now, I haven't said it in a long time, but Joe will remember this from the early days. I used to say a lot. The why matters. Just telling you like, okay, liberals are bad because they do X and Y, which leads to Z, is okay. But folks, if you don't understand the why, then you're never going to get shows like today. I think one of the reasons the show succeeds and we beat the liberals to the punch

on their stuff is because we understand the why. When you understand the why, you can predict the then. Why this happens, then this is going to happen, okay? Kamala Harris really kind of lays out the why, why liberals think the way they do. I'm going to show you these two clips on equity. Equity is the new liberal buzz term for basically communism. It is. It's the idea that everybody should have an equal outcome in life. Now, ladies and gentlemen, outcome is an output. What you put out, your outcome is you're a CEO or a doctor. That's a result of your output. You did this in school, which led to you getting into medical school, which led to you getting a residency, which led to this. Those variables are the inputs. Those variables are infinite. Work ethic, smarts, sweat equity. Yes, a lot of luck sometimes. People who made their own luck by just taking a lot of chances. their own luck by just taking a lot of chances.

Liberals don't want any of that. Liberals hate merit. They hate a meritocracy. Liberals hate the idea of free will. Then liberals want to control everything. Now, when liberals talk about equity, they're not talking about equality. They're talking about equity.

What's the difference? Well, let Kamala Harris and these two clips sum it up for you. This is Biden's insurance policy right here. Check this out. Equality suggests often everybody should get the same thing. Well, that often assumes everybody started out in the same place. As opposed to equity, which is everyone should end up in the same place. And if you then understand not everybody started out in the same place,

you understand some people need more. So we all end up in the same place. Now, clips from a while ago. It's not from this weekend. But this other one's a little bit more recent on equity. But I want to explain the why here. Do you understand what she's saying? She's saying that everybody should wind up in the same place. Now, the same place she's talking about, we need to be crystal clear

on. It's not a place of wealth or prosperity. She'll tell you that, oh, equity, meaning everyone should have a beautiful house and a white picket fence and a dog and 2.15 kids, right? Oh, you should have no kids, a China one child policy, whatever, but you get the point. I have to get off track. That's not what she's talking about. The reality of forced equity on everyone has been shown through history over and over through the implementation of communism to result in what? Starvation and body bags. When you steal from one person to give to another person to level out their outcome and their output, eventually the person who produced due to hard work, who has to give to the person who did nothing, stops producing. And what happens? They both starve. The essence of equity, ironically, of the liberal principle of equity

is that it requires you via government fiat and force to treat people unequally. government fiat and force to treat people unequally. Because Joe, Guy, and I all have, Guy, you weren't even born here, right? Guy's not, Guy wasn't even, either was Paula. Paula was born in Columbia. So Paula, factor in the podcast crew, Paula, Guy, me, and Joe, dramatically different circumstances. Born in different places, in two cases, different countries. Yet it's weird. We're all here in the same spot. Now, we don't all earn the same thing or live in the same house, but we're all here doing the same thing. We came from different circumstances no one can control.

What Kamala Harris wants to do is she wants to level out the whole program. And she wants me to produce at four o'clock in the morning and split this all four ways amongst anyone, which I love my guys. I love my guys. But I think you guys would admit, and I say this with, it's the Dan Bongino show. These guys are invaluable and I treat them as invaluable, but this is the Dan Bongino show. Imagine you having the Dan Bongino farm and you're paying some people as farm hands to work for you out there. Yet you were the Dan Bongino farm and you're paying some people as farmhands to work for you out there, yet you were the one who had been invested in this field

your entire life, and you now have to give half of it to the guy working in the field who may be young and hasn't worked his way up yet and is saving to buy his own farm? That's it, you're done. The whole principle of communist equity, which is what it is, is that you have to be treated unequally by the government. You are no longer entitled to the fruits of your own merit and work.

Here, one more before I take a break. Here's Kamala Harris again. It's a little more recent on the idea of equity, which is undoubtedly a communist principle. Take a listen. We have always fought for equality. But now we are also talking much more rightly about equity, understanding that we must be clear eyed about the fact that, yes, we want everyone to get an equal amount. That sounds right. But not everyone starts out from the same place. He said right here. It's insane. We have to explain this to people. Do you understand when she says everybody's going to get an equal amount that that so-called

equal amount comes from you? The reason some other people don't get an equal amount is, yeah, sometimes it's bad luck, but a lot of times, it's not. The reason they don't get an equal amount is because they don't put in the equal amount of work. It's as simple as that. So you're going to work harder to give someone else more who work less. All right, I'll get back to Kamala in a second with another, this one from this weekend.

This is why. This is the Biden insurance policy. This is why they're not too worried about what the Republicans are going to do because their backup plan, Kamala Harris, may be worse. I slept, as you can probably tell by my energy level today, like a champion. I can show you my aura ring score.

And it is. It's an insurance policy. And believe me, Democrats know that. Here's Kamala Harris this weekend speaking about her almost rabid desire to terminate the lives of babies in the womb, to kill as many of them as we can. They love abortion. It's a sacrament on the left. It, again, is one of the most disgusting, horrific things we have done, the extermination of millions of human lives. But Kamala loves it so much so that she alters the words of our founding documents to take out the word life to try to make a political point. Last time I checked, it said life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Kamala must have just forgot that air quotes. Check this out.

A promise we made in the Declaration of Independence that we are each endowed with the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That's not what it says. Yeah. But of course, that's how she might say she missed. I'm sure it was just a simple accident. The whole life part, which is interesting because, again, she's talking about during that speech, she happens to mention whacking babies in the womb, which she loves. Now, why is she doing that? Kamala Harris is under a image makeover from the media right now. Why? Because certain people in the media know they have to get rid of Biden

because he's a foreign agent and the scandal is going to explode. And who is the backup plan? an agent and the scandal is going to explode. And who is the backup plan? It was Pete Buttigieg, but because Pete Buttigieg seems to have alorted over a train crisis, an airborne crisis, a fuel crisis, a traffic crisis, and he is the head of the Department of Transportation, Buttigieg is a wounded duck too. So now they've got to rehabilitate one of the worst politicians in American history, Kamala Harris. That's what's going on here. And Harris is talking about abortion because she thinks it's the only thing she can do to appeal to liberals to get them to support her because they dumped her. She didn't even make it out of Iowa when she ran for president.

Folks, it's time for a segment I haven't done in a while because it's an important one. I call it This Week in Liberalism. And one of the reasons I became a conservative, I started to realize that there's a big, big difference, a big difference with liberals, right? Liberals are people out there who are not astute observers of the political scene, by no fault of their own. They work for them. They don't want to watch this crap all day. I was hanging out with a guy this weekend, good friend of mine. And I was at an event for my daughter. And he brought up this fact that, you know, I work for him. He owns restaurants. He's a great guy. He's like, I don't have time to read all the stuff you

read. So he's like, that's why one of the reasons, you know, we appreciate your show. You kind of sum it up for us. That's why we wanted to make it an hour. Ride home, you can check it out. That's why Joe brought that up, right um but this week in liberalism i love stories that show not only that liberals aren't dumb like they don't do stupid things because they're stupid they do things because they want to cause chaos i want you to listen they want to hurt you not all democrats the radical far left wants to hurt you i don't mean so much physically. I mean, they want to do damage to your life and cause chaos.

I should have played this. If you watch Fox and Friends this weekend, I went on in the morning show on Saturday and I went on like a five minute kind of rant about my chaos theories. They liked it so much, they actually covered it the next day again on Fox and Friends.

And I appreciated that. It's my walking dead theory. Liberals love chaos because when you've got chaos, people, all they want to do is escape it and they want normalcy. So they'll forfeit their civil liberties to the government and say, just make it normal again. It reminds me of the episode of The Walking Dead. Again, Officer Rick and others, they're fighting off the zombies and they go and hide in a prison and they live there. Who walks in a prison voluntarily? The answer is people who are afraid

of what's on the outside. They worship their loss of freedom being pinned in in this prison because they see what's on the outside as being dangerous. You understand that's why liberals want to destroy everything? And when I see these stories like this in the Wall Street Journal,

it makes me think of people who fall for the fact that all liberals are just dumb. No, they're doing this on purpose. So they're pushing now liberals for a nationwide rent control thing. They want Biden to control rents nationwide. Now, there isn't a single area of economics,

I'd say maybe outside of the minimum wage, where sane economists agree more that rent control does nothing to control rents and causes so many different problems, including a lack of available housing that only an idiot would support it. Now, of course, that means what? Of course, Joe Biden's team supports it. Now, is this being done because they're stupid? No, it's being done because they want to destroy the housing market. That's the point.

Chaos. They love them some chaos. The Wall Street Journal notes that the White House is considering a series of executive actions to protect tenants. They want rent control, basically. The hilarious part about this story, tragically so for you, is why are rents out of control? but tragically so for you. It's like, why are rents out of control? Well, rents are out of control because the same liberals who want to cause chaos

did it by spending a bunch of money we didn't have, which caused an inflationary crisis. The inflationary crisis caused them to crunch down on interest rates in the Federal Reserve and raise them to try and shrink up the money supply, which did what? Well, one culprit they note

was near zero interest rates for a while, which while they lasted, inflated housing prices and made it harder for young people to buy a home the result more demand for rental housing which drove up the price here's the second part what else drove up rents well liberals had another great idea and by the way some uh some republicans i don't want to say conservatives played into this stupidity they said listen during covid we have to do an eviction moratorium you can't evict anyone and liberals were like that's a great idea um until people started to say well listen the landlords still have to pay their bills to the bank as well evil landlords how are they

going to pay their bills if no one else does well now what happened well landlords make it good now now they're raising rents because they need the money back to pay the banks. And what's happening? The rents are going up. Again, it's not just that liberals, when you fall on the sidewalk, walk past and don't help you. That's misfeasance. It's that you try to get up and they kick you in the nuts. This is malfeasance.

They're doing this on purpose. Chaos is the point. They're total frauds. They believe nothing they say. Oh, liberals. No, no, no. We're just trying to work on housing. We care about housing for people. Everyone's entitled to a home equity. They are. That's interesting because Nantucket, where all the rich liberals live, you see this Daily Mail story, which will be in the newsletter today. It's interesting. They want to build affordable housing on Nantucket, and Nantucket residents are saying, nah, not here.

We're not doing that here. I thought you cared about housing. Here, Daily Mail. Not in my backyard. Apparently, billionaire playground Nantucket, where all these liberals live, John Kerry spends his summers there. They don't want the housing there. Which also results in what? Well, when you keep interest rates near zero to spend money you don't have, and housing goes through the roof, and then housing goes through the roof, so what happens? More people have to rent because they can't afford housing.

And then when you try to build housing in places like Nantucket, liberals say, get the hell out of here. You're not going to do that here. Well, what winds up happening as housing explodes in these liberal places, people evacuate the places you can see in the New York Post, which saw a $9 billion plunge in New York City commercial real estate. It's every single time, folks. But again, don't let bad news get in the way. Liberals say, well, at least we can have equity in health outcomes. We got to have government health care. Yeah, definitely do that because the British National Health Service,

when they do that, you know, evidence, don't let that get in. He's melting down right now. Patients who need an emergency room, 35% now wait above four hours for a decision to admit and get a bed for treatment. It's the worst performance since 2010. Wall Street Journal, you can read it right there. Bring this right on over. And by the way, care is no better for non-emergency patients. See the patients with the government-run health care. 7.2 million patients in the UK have been referred for treatment but are waiting for it to start. Of those, almost 3 million have been waiting more

than 18 weeks. Bring it over here. Bring it over here. Oh, let evidence get in the way, Libs. Equity. All about equity. All about equity. All right, folks. Been a loaded show today. I really appreciate it.
