get ready to hear the truth about america on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host dan bongino so the inflation numbers just came in year over year it's time again for the let's go brandon cowbell let's go brandon uh 6.8 inflation the worst it's been in 40 years in the CPI, Consumer Price Index. Great job, Uncle Joe. Solid work there, Sleepy. Really kind of raking it in. You know, best economy ever, right? We'll get to that later, how the media now is trying to frame this as the best economy ever.

Highest inflation in 40 years. Jobs numbers last month supposed to be 500,000 to 600,000. Came in at 210,000. For the liberals listening, that's less than half. But you're right. Best economy ever. Fist pound. If I didn't have arthritis in my elbow, I'd give you the old chest thing over there in the heart.

Nice work, fellas. Nice job, Brandon. Way to go, buddy. Keep it up. And the suckers fall for this. And Pfizer says four shots now. Four shots. I'm not kidding. What did I tell you yesterday? and the suckers fall for this and pfizer says four shots now four shots i'm not kidding what did i tell you yesterday goalposts

Joe, it is Friday. So if you would, kind sir. It's Friday. Yeah. I was very excited today. This is my Paula's mother's day mug I'm using today.

If you're wondering what that is, it's something my daughter got it for. It says llama just says happy mother's day or something i always get questions about that stuff i wanted the friday to lay us through your sip there dude all the way to the end to fill you know what i mean yeah yeah yeah i've noticed that i noticed that was an extended thank you thank you see you and i have like a little esp connection there i appreciate you doing i did need a little like the warm know, it's just this ridiculous post-COVID cough. It's gone away a lot. But it's just like, you know, the warm the tea really helps a lot.

Keeps the vocal cords going. So the CPI number came out as I discussed before, Consumer Price Index. And the number's horrible, folks. It just came out this morning. Used cars and trucks, it's on Fox right now, up 31%. Gasoline, 60%.

Beef and steaks, 24%. I'm literally reading this off the TV right now. Beef and steaks, 24%. Lodging, 22%. Again, I'm not going to pound you over the head with the same stuff I've been saying over and over again. But when you print record amounts of money and productivity, in other words, the products we're producing goes down,

less productivity, you have more money chasing less stuff, and therefore the price of the stuff goes up. This is one of those like, hello, McFly moments if you ever saw Back to the Future, if you haven't, go watch it. It's not a shocker. It's the worst

number in 40 years. Now, the Biden administration is in a panic because the media can't ignore this number. The CPI number is the number. It's not a matter of opinion. Prices are up. That's the number. Whether your opinion, if the prices are up, is your opinion, they're up or down, is irrelevant to what the prices actually say. They're in a panic. I'm going to get to this later. How the Biden administration has put out a call to arms to their media, but kissing ass kissing allies. Hey, you got to start gaslighting people on the economy. I'm going to show you exactly how they complied. This is beautiful. That's coming up later. Just quickly. I warned you yesterday about the goalposts consistently moving. I'm going to cover this on my Fox show this weekend.

Don't miss it. Unfiltered tomorrow, Saturday, 10 p.m. Eastern time. Set your DVR if you can't make it. I have got a really, I think, one of my best monologues about the goalposts and why this is happening. But here you go. As I predicted yesterday, Spencer Kimball, CNBC, Pfizer CEO says a fourth COVID vaccine dose may be needed sooner than expected due to Omicron. Listen, I have been doing an interview with this media outlet on the left for a long time. They've

been, they're doing a big, long profile on me. It's been taking weeks. A question so far been relatively fair, but you know one of the people called me to do like the fact check portion of it yesterday and they were like well you know i noticed you have been speaking out against mandates is that anti-science and i swear i wanted to bang my head off the desk ladies and gentlemen how the hell is telling people i'm see i'm joe i am listen you know listen it's Friday. We're sarcastic. Sometimes Friday tends to take a little lighter tone, but I'm being as serious as a freaking heart attack here. How is me telling you, please speak to your doctor about your personal medical situation

before you get any medical treatment? medication before you get any medical treatment. Can you please, please explain to me how that is not pro-science rather than anti-science? Please. And I think even the woman who asked me the question was embarrassed by the question after I explained it to her how dumb the question was. It's just unbelievable how they keep moving the goalposts. You tell people, talk to the doctor, you guys are anti-science. Double-barreled get it all right moving on it was a lot of gosh that was like the fastest seven minutes we packed a lot of stuff in that intro right there let me just quickly get to juicy so there was justice for juicy small yay yesterday um juicy was convicted on five of six accounts and now he's now a convicted race hoaxer.

So we know that. There's no more alleged stuff. Listen, I always give people their fair trial, right? You can't believe in the Constitutional Republic, even the unpopular ones. You gotta, people have the right to be proven guilty in a court of law. Well, now he's a convicted race hoaxer. So just to, I'm not gonna go through

all the highlights of the libs that support him. I'm gonna play a quick super cut, but I wanted to show you this tweet first from the forever hapless AOC, who for some bizarre reason, despite knowing nothing, the Sergeant Schultz of our time, I know nothing. It doesn't really matter. People again can line up, line up to kiss the collective ass of AOC, despite the fact that the woman knows nothing, nothing about anything of significance.

She may have been a skilled bartender. That's the limit to her skills. Okay. Here's AOC. When the juicy small thing happened, she says, there's no such thing as racially charged. This attack was not possibly homophobic. It was a racist and homophobic attack. Well, it wasn't actually possible at all. If you don't like what is happening to our country then work to change it it is no one's job to water down or sugarcoat the rise of hate crime oh has there been a politician in u.s history with a larger following who's been wrong on more things more often i doubt it i i sincerely doubt it i always ask the question about politicians like AOC. Are they genuinely dumb or are they liars? And candidly, knowing a lot of politicians

and having run for office and seeing these grotesquities up close and personal, many of them, not all of them, the answer is usually the latter, that they're really just liars. They're liars. They're not really dumb. Some of them are actually very smart, skilled liars. That's how they get into office. But AOC, I'm genuinely concerned. I believe it may be the former. She may legitimately be dopey.

She just can't process information, given the fact that she's wrong on everything all the time. Here's just a quick supercut hat tip, Tom Elliott at Grabian, a supercut of media folks going to bat and calling for justice for Juicy early on. I assume fact checkers will jump all over this today, start banning accounts on Facebook. Ha! Just kidding. Here, check this out. Beaten with a noose around his neck and hospitalized. Empire star Jesse Smollett was the victim of a vicious, racist, and homophobic attack. His attackers hurled racial and homophobic slurs His attackers hurled racial and homophobic slurs.

Two people yelled racist and homophobic slurs. Racial and homophobic slurs. The offenders uttered, this is MAGA country. The hate crime went down early this morning in Chicago. Officials are investigating the alleged assault as a hate crime. And now police say they're investigating this as a possible hate crime. This is stomach turning, mind boggling information. It's out of control. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi tweeting the racist homophobic attack

on Jussie Smollett is an affront to our humanity. And Senator Cory Booker said the vicious attack on actor Jussie was an attempt at modern day lynching. Kamala Harris calling the attack an attempted modern day lynching. Kamala Harris calling the attack an attempted modern day lynching. I'm so shaken by the story. This is horrible to report. This is a horrible story. This is a horrible story. Yeah. I mean, the circumstances is horrific. Absolutely despicable. Yeah. A lot of people can't believe this is actually happening in 2019. It's hard to believe that we're reporting that we're even saying words like this in 2019 and this is america in 2019 yeah this is america where your cultural capital grows if you can fake

being the victim of a race attack because legitimate uh attacks based on race thank the lord are very rare and i mean that thank the lord again I'm not using his name in vain. So we have to invent them, these people on the left, to gain cultural capital. Look at me, I was attacked by some mega supporters. Now, Mike Cernovich always has great takes on Twitter. Here's Mike Cernovich. He says, you know, from Russian collusion to Covington to Juicy, the only question remaining is what real stories does the media actually cover? It's a great question, Mike. Really? Cernovich brings up a great point.

Notice what we're not talking about right now. Remember Waukesha? There are some people who probably watch this show. What's Waukesha? What happened in Waukesha? Oh, yeah, exactly. exactly where uh a man who happened to be black is a the alleged perpetrator here in a in a mass murder on a parade route who had a history of questionable postings about blm you're not hearing much about that are you no no not so much media doesn't actually cover real news. I can't say to you enough, please doubt everything they tell you.

Doubt everything. Everything. The media can't even get math right. USA Today ran a piece the other day, is math racist? That's not a joke. That actually happened. Doubt everything these idiots tell you. I got a question coming up in our questions for Dan later.

A guy asked me, he's like, listen, you're really good at fact-checking. How did you learn how to do that? I'll walk you through it. It's really not hard. And it applies here. Fact-check, legitimately fact-check, not like the fact-checker losers on the left who really are opinion checkers. Fact-check everything. I can almost guarantee you that almost every story you see out of the mainstream media about a politically charged topic, I can almost guarantee you it's a lie. Every time. I always bring the receipts. All right, last justice for Juicy.

I promise you we're going to move on to some real stuff that's important. But this was funny. This was Charles Barkley. Whether you love him or hate him, the round mound of rebound, former 76er, Phoenix Sun, one of the greatest basketball players, maybe the greatest power forward of all time. This was Charles Barkley talking about the Juicy case. Keep in mind, this segment was on sports.

He just goes there because that's just Charles. See, Charles does what Charles wants. You can hear on the set how everyone is really uncomfortable other than Charles. They're all laughing. And Charles talks about how Juicy paid the Osadaro brothers with a check to attack him. Paid with a check. Here's Charles Barkley. This is hilarious.

Check this out. America, let me just tell you something. What's that? Do not commit crimes with checks. Come on, man. You cannot. If you're going to break the law, do not write a check. Because you're writing a check that what?

You're behind cash. Yo, man, you cannot. Cash up. Get cash, man. I never used an ATM. Now, you can only, I heard you can only get $200 out of it. $500. $500. Oh, stop can only, I heard you can only get $200 out of 500. Charles, stop. Literally, stop.

I'm about to make a lot of stops at the ATM. But you said, Chuck, America. America, you do not write checks when you commit illegal activity. I cannot believe that we completed completed we touched them all right there Circle the bag. He just said he He just said the Lakers would make the play America don't come in Jesse you wasted all that damn time of money, you know what you should have been

Just what I'm the Liam Neeson neighborhood. You could have solved all your damn problems. If you're going to commit a crime. You know, we have golden rules on the show. You know the golden rules, right? Most Republicans in the swamp are really Democrats. No Democrats are really Republicans. Barkley has his golden rules too. And I have to agree with that one joe if you're going to commit

a crime just go get the cash i'm not giving criminals if i'm just saying don't write a check gosh i mean you want to talk about levels of imbecility triaging imbecility this is like level one triage of facility right you're like writing charles the old like i said the round mound of rebound charles barkley that was a while ago that wasn't but you see the rest of the crew some of them are laughing some of them are like yeah what do i say the sports world is so liberal they can't take people like charles he'll say what he wants he said some you know some stuff i agree with some i don't it's It's funny every time. All right. You know what? Let me get to my second sponsor here. And I want to get to this, how, you know, again, kind of pursuant to the question I'm in, the questions

for Dan, question number one, how I do my fact checking and how I, you know, so easily dismantle leftist rhetoric. Well, one of the things I do is I know liberals are completely unresponsive to evidence, and I know what they do isn't going to work. So I just accumulate the evidence. I know where to go to see it. And then later on, I show you how they cause the problem, and then they're going to try to shift the narrative. So I'll show you what I mean in a second, how they're totally unresponsive to real-world

evidence. Hey, I can't say enough about my next sponsor. I use it twice a day. It's the Teeter Inversion Table. Why? I have joint problems. I haven't been quiet about it on my show, but I need it.

So proving to you again that liberals are totally unresponsive to real world evidence and their entire world is bedrocked in emotion, not facts or reality. I want to show you two stories proving my point. First is just the news that came over just this morning. Natalie Middlestat, you'll see this in my newsletter today, bongino.com slash newsletter if you want to subscribe. Blue states lead the rise in COVID hospitalizations despite harsh pandemic restrictions. Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, and Indiana are the top six states for increased COVID hospitalizations, together accounting for about 60% of new beds added over the last six

months. Now, again, you would think in a real world that if liberals were interested in things like science and policy prescriptions at work, you would analyze policy prescriptions. You would say, well, we instituted mask mandates, school shutdowns, lockdowns, social distancing requirements, business restrictions. We did all that. And what happened? Is anything I'm saying controversial? I'm being serious. I'm not trying to be a jerk. I'm being serious here. Is any of this controversial? I'm being serious. I'm not trying to be a jerk. I'm being serious here. Is any of this controversial? If you want to test an experimental intervention, we have a COVID problem. The experimental intervention will be this. School shutdowns, mask mandates, what I just said, social distancing requirements, what's the result in C? Is any, again, is any of this complicated? No.

The problem is liberals never get to C, ever. The left never, and swampy Republicans too, I imagine. They never get to C. Well, what happened? Well, blue states did all of that stuff, and now they're leading the country in hospitalizations, which should say to you, something we're doing is not working. But none of that will happen. There will be no reevaluation of the evidence. This is from the

party. Keep in mind that tells you they believe in science and process. I don't want to beat a dead horse on this because it's obvious that these things don't work. I bring these articles up to you. So you have the evidence to people who keep telling you, oh, we need mask mandates at school. We need more school lockdowns. We do, because that's interesting. Where these things have been tried, they're now leading the country in infections.

So the correlation you're suggesting between these things and lower COVID rates is the opposite correlation. Lockdowns and higher COVID rates are correlated. I'm not saying they're causal, but they're correlated. There's now no longer any doubt. Here, another one. Proving the immunity to facts and data on the left.

A dozen U.S. cities, this is a Red State article, Mike Miller, a dozen U.S. cities blow away their annual murder records with one glaring thing in common. Joe, what do you think that thing is? You think they are run by Republicans or Democrats? Joe, Joe, just take a flyer on this one. Take a flyer. Democrats or Republicans? High murder rates. What do you think? Give it a shot and say Democrats, dude. He's going to give it a shot, Guy. What do you think? You're going to say

Dems? He's thinking about it. Guy says he'll take what is Democrats for a thousand. That tipped the great Alex Trebek. God rest his soul. He would be right. That would be Democrats. Now, again, you would say to yourself the top 12 cities for massive spikes in murders, people dying. I mean, literally dying. Again, it's not a figurative statement. You would think by chance, by chance that at least one of those cities would have a Republican leader, right?

I mean, 12. We're not talking about two. We're not talking about six. We're not even talking about 10. We're talking about 12. You know, you take the dice, you roll the dice. You would think at least one of them would be a Republican-led city. Nope.

Nope. Nope, nope. 0 for 12. 0 for 12 as the body bags pile up. You think there's any Democrat out there saying, OK, we've instituted liberal policies in our cities, high taxes, defund the police. If we don't defund the police, we attack the police. We don't attack the police. We at least cater to criminals. We've tried all this stuff. And B happened. OK, the intervention was B and then C happened, a spike in murder rates, you'd think you'd go back to A, the policy prescriptions and say, gosh, A isn't

working. A isn't working. B isn't working. C is really bad. They do none of that. None of that. They double down, as Guy just said. You are absolutely, if it didn't work, double down as he just said you are absolutely if didn't work double down on more

double down on more all right here's um moving on friday a lot of material to get through saw this on social media floating around you know sometimes you'll see media hacks and Democrats say the quiet part out loud. When they do, you got to capture it. You got to capture it and you got to advertise it because it shows you how these people think, what goes on inside their cerebral cortex and how they actually feel about you. So when they say the quiet part out loud, they don't hide their intentions anymore. You got to advertise it. This is just a beaut about school choice. This is Michael Smirconish from CNN and Don Lemon talking about school choice.

And notice what Smirconish and Lemon say like, hey, my kids, they get to go to this school where they get to go to the chapel and everything like that. And I can do that. It's not the point. He thinks he's making a point about attacking religious schools that shouldn't get funds. That's not the point he's making at all. Here, check this out. Our children all went to a particular school where the chapel service was a big part of their education. But here's the thing. We paid for that education.

My wife and me and not the public. Amen. Same with my parents. So there you go. And that's how it should be. Again. Again. What? Same from. So there you go. Okay. And that's how it should be. Again. Okay. Same from the great man greats video by late great Norm MacDonald.

If you watch the show, you know what I mean. These are six high six and likely seven figure earners right here who are telling parents you can't send your kid to a better school if it happens to have a religious component to it. You should stay in a failing public school. But I sent my kids to the same school because I'm richer than you idiots and you don't have any money. And the funny thing is they say it out loud, which is Joe, which is classic.

Not only say it out loud, but Don Lemon's like, and that's the way it should be. The verdict is in. Thank you, Michael Sperconish. That's the way it should be. Yeah. I'm rich. I will send my kids to religious schools that are better

while you dip wads go to really poor public schools. And Don's like, yeah. Yeah. Reminds me of trading places. Trading places because karate man, man, yeah. You got to do it, yeah. Don Lemon, yeah. That's right, Michael.

I love it when they say the quiet part out loud. That's how they, if you're a liberal who listens to my show, we get a lot of them. We do. Some of them just listen to the show to get angry. But we convert a lot. Believe me, I get the emails all the time, a lot. It's moments like that that should make you really wake up and reevaluate your ideological stance

i'm serious may joke about what just happened but that that's actually their position in your face dude in your face absolutely totally they're not hiding it there's no mascot nothing it's like double barrel middle finger family friendly version we said our kids there yeah because karate bet yeah oh man all right moving on they said a lot to get through today this is one of the best explanations of something listen i get it some of you like the economic stuff in the show. Some of you don't. It's 50-50. But I think it's important. And I'm going to keep dragging it into the show because it matters. If there is one thing, actually, two things about economics that I wish more people would understand. It's the effect of third-party payers and opportunity costs. I've explained this often. Opportunity costs, very simple.

People confuse and conflate a strict economic gain with an actual gain. I should say strict financial gain with an economic gain often. And the example I always use is the concept of an opportunity cost. Just quickly, my wife is a very talented web designer. I use this example a thousand times. If she could make $500,000 a year, which she could designing websites, and she gives that up to go mow lawns in the neighborhood for $10 a day, the economic gain from her mowing the lawn is $10. But the actual loss is, you know, nearly 500,000. Well, you know, 500,000 per year,

because she gave up that opportunity to design webs to go mow lawns that's wrong with mowing lawns it's just she gave it up there's a cost to an opportunity lost that's huge because liberals conflate the two they'll say well you know joe biden's got two trillion for child care look you're getting a two trillion dollar child care benefit to help you pay for child care. What they're not telling you is the $2 trillion is sucked out of the economy to the same people they're giving it back to. It's taken from them, the taxpayer, and the government's paying themselves in the process. So not only do you have your money taken away, you can't invest, but the government takes a cut.

That's the lost opportunity. Opportunity cost is everything. Can't encourage you strong enough and strong enough terms to research opportunity costs. Liberalism will never make sense to you again if you understand opportunity costs. But another thing is third-party payers. Whenever you see a third-party payer, I guarantee you costs are going to go up. A third-party payer is very simple. It typically involves the government, how the government insists on paying for something you could pay yourself. Why is the government the third party payer? Because with childcare, for example, where Biden wants to take that over, you have a parent, you have a childcare provider, and that's typically who pays for the childcare.

Parent, number one one pays number two, the childcare provider to people in a transaction. When you introduce a third party parent pays the government with taxes, government pays childcare provider. Whenever you see that cost explode. Why? Why? Because the parent is no longer paying.

They're just paying taxes. They're not paying the childcare provider. And the provider of childcare knows the parent isn't paying. They're getting a check from the government. So nobody cares about the cost anymore. If you have to pay taxes no matter what, and then they tell you healthcare's free, healthcare's free, the government's going to pay for it. You want the most expensive healthcare ever. Why? Because you're like, oh, screw it. I already paid my taxes.

I want the best healthcare. Right? Is any of this hard? Again, I promise it is to the far left. They don't understand any of this. Here. This is a fantastic piece by Casey Mulligan. One of the best I've read ever about why Biden offering to pay for childcare is going to

make it even more expensive. How is that? It's free. Sure. Just like healthcare and college are free too. And they're the most expensive things. Why? Because there's a third party payer.

The government pays for most of healthcare and the government pays for a lot of college. That's why it's expensive here. This paragraph explains it. When you disconnect the buyer of a product from the seller of the product, the buyer doesn't care about the price because he's not paying. And the seller doesn't care what they charge you because they know you're not paying.

He's doing it again. He wants to do it with childcare. Here, from Casey Mulligan in the Wall Street Journal. He says, Biden's bill in the latest draft proposes to reinvent childcare with a trifecta of cost-increasing forces. First, it would remove much of the incentive to offer

lower-cost child care. Millions of families would have their child care expenses capped by statute, which means they'd pay the same amount in an expensive facility as at a cheaper one. Guys, seriously, I need some intervention. Is this this making sense i know to the conservatives i'm genuinely sorry for i'm not trying to treat you like uh intellectual children i know you get

it the government and the biden build back worse plan is proposing that we're going to cap your child care costs you can't pay any more than this we're going to pay for the rest well what's going to happen if a parent knows they're going to pay five thousand rest. Well, what's going to happen? If a parent knows they're going to pay $5,000 a year for childcare, no matter what facility they pick, Joe. Right. You want the best childcare out there. You want the most things. You want the place with the gold-plated toilet.

Yep. You're only paying $5,000. And then what happens? The childcare provider knows that, that you're only going to pay $5,000. So what do they do? They keep upping their prices, knowing the government's going to pay $5,000. So what do they do? They keep upping their prices knowing the government's going to pick up the tab no matter what.

Kind of sounds like what happened with college education and healthcare in America. Obamacare was going to cap your costs and college loans were going to be paid for by the government. College costs go up, healthcare go up. Liberals are like, what? Watch. Mark the date. Here we go again. Friday, December 10th.

If this Build Back Worse plan passes, mark the date. Guaranteed childcare costs will explode. Doesn't matter. No matter what we say, they are absolutely immune. Absolutely immune to evidence. It doesn't matter. Childcare providers are going to charge whatever they want.

But you will not pay. All right. Let me get to my next sponsor and show you how Democrats are having a little trauma over the Build the build back worse plan and provision in there. They don't know what to do. Like cut taxes on the rich. Keep telling people where the party to hike taxes on the rich cut taxes on the rich.

Keep that. They don't know what to do. They don't know what to do. I've been warning you about this. Growth is essential for every entrepreneur at BDC. We get that. And the businesses we support grow at double the average rate.

Run your way at newbalance.com slash running. All right, just quick on this. I don't want to i want to again beat a dead horse but it's important democrats susan ferriccio story at the washington examiner democrats agonize over property tax provision in the biden spending bill the bill back where's plan remember the salt tax yes it

does benefit some upper middle class families too. But the overwhelming majority of the Donald Trump SALT tax reform, that stands for state and local tax deductions, an acronym SALT. What it did was in high tax blue states that have heavy property taxes, local taxes, and state taxes, New York and California, Florida, we don't have a state income tax. People pay a lot of money in state taxes. You used to be allowed to deduct that from your federal tax bill which did what because you would pay less federal taxes because you paid high state taxes it would mute the effect of high state taxes makes sense

right you paid a lot here you pay less there well now you're paying a lot both places because in Donald Trump's tax reform, he said, no, we're not going to shield blue states from their high taxes. You get it? He said, we are going to limit and cap the amount you can deduct from your state taxes. If California wants to charge their citizens an arm and a leg, we're not going to subsidize it with federal government tax breaks. You get it? Well, now the Democrats, because they believe, I thought they believed in taxing the rich. No, they don't believe in taxing the rich if they vote for them. A lot of rich liberals in blue states petition their congressmen and congresswomen to say, hey, you better vote to repeal this SALT tax reform because we want a tax cut. And believe it or not, the Democrats are considering it because they don't have any

principles because the Democrats believe in taxing the rich only if they don't vote for them. If they vote for them, then they believe in cutting taxes for the rich. Yes, I know it has affected some middle and upper middle class families too. I totally get that. But the overwhelming majority of that benefit goes to the rich and they don't know what to do. They don't know what to do right now. Like, you know, that meme, the two red buttons tell them we're the party for the middle class we want to tax the rich don't tax the rich give the rich a tax break because they vote for us they don't know what to do when you're principled when you're principled not as much i think the salt that anything i can do to get people to pay fewer taxes i think is a good thing

my point isn't to criticize a tax cut my point is to criticize liberals who are full of, you get the rest. All right, moving on. So we started the show today, kind of sandwich everything, talking about the CPI, the Consumer Price Index exploding. Inflation's out of control. It's now at 6.8%. That's not an opinion.

That's a fact. The Biden administration is not going to be able to ignore this anymore. They want to print more money, despite the fact we're printing records amount of money now. Record amounts of money now. 6.8% inflation, which came out this morning, is the highest inflation number we've had in 40 years. Since the early years of Jimmy Carter and the first few years of Reagan when Volcker had to crush it. Biden knows that. Biden knows he's in real trouble.

So rather than trying to fix the situation and going back to sound economic reform, sound money, spending control, tax breaks, and economic growth, he doesn't want to do that. So he's trying to pressure the media to lie, to lie about the economy. I'm not joking. I don't like to play cuts twice, but we played this cut the other day. Here's a chief propagandist at CNN, the coffee boy, that loser stealth or silver medalist in the don't be talking head media Olympics. Here's a cut from the other day where he indicates how, Hey, listen, remember the Biden white house has been pressuring them. The media it's been widely reported. Hey, you guys better start talking up the economy, even though it's crap.

Here's Stelter. You'll see how the gaslighting works, laying the ground here to say, my gosh, the media has been really harsh on Biden. We need to we need to reevaluate this. Check this out. The White House on offense this weekend, sharply criticizing some major news outlets. It's the president doing it. It's the chief of staff.

It's press aides all seemingly speaking out about what they see as too much negativity in the news coverage. Here's Biden's chief of staff, Ron Klain, suggesting that we all should read this Washington Post story. It is by Dana Milbank. I'll show it to you in a second. Here's another Biden aide. Here's a rapid response director, Mike Gwynn, calling out reporters for not asking more about the jobs report on Friday instead asking about Biden's cold. Of course, both are important. One more important than the other. I mentioned in a mailbank. Here's his column for The Post this weekend. Getting lots of buzz from liberals on Twitter. He says journalists are contributing to the murder of democracy.

he says he has data gathered by an artificial intelligence machine to show that the press has turned more negative against Biden than the press was against Trump at this time in Trump's first year. What do you think about that? Is that possible? Does it ring true to you? I think it rings true to my next guest. Let's bring him in. Eric Bullard, he runs the Press Run blog, and he's here with me. Now, I want you to watch the gaslighting. That was this week we played that. Was it Monday or Tuesday? He brings in the Media Matters guy, former Media Matters guy, Eric Bollard, radical leftist, to suggest to you that the economy isn't bad.

It's just the press coverage of Joe Biden. So that's a lie. Now, what are the components of gaslighting? Pop quiz. Lie, lie often, lie confidently, isolate people from the truth. So you see how the lies out there, they lie confidently about it. They lie often. Oh, if artificial intelligence says Biden's press coverage has been far worse.

And ladies and gentlemen, just days later, here it is. I told you they'd do it. Didn't even take a week. The Hill. Max Burns. Biden's delivering the fastest economic recovery in history. History, Joe. Why hasn't anyone noticed? Why hasn't anyone noticed? Because it's not happening. 210,000 jobs and they're expecting 500,000, 9 million open positions, supply shortages. Why hasn't anyone noticed? Because it's not there. Right, right, right. The gas, right?

Greatest evacuation ever from Afghanistan. The borders closed. The economy's terrific. I mean, the gas, rarely do we see the gaslighting in the same week. Here, here's another tool bag. Here's Jim Cramer, that cackling buffoon from the financial network there. Here's Jim Cramer. Clearly, he got the assignment and understood it.

Here's Jim Cramer, supposed financial expert. We had him on be clowning himself last week, talking about how amazing this high inflation, himself last week talking about how amazing this high inflation low uh job participation high high supply chain issue this is the best economy ever here's jim craver check this out to me we have the strongest economy perhaps i have ever seen said number this morning unemployment it's the best in years not best in 69 we have all spotted the endless help wanted signs the housing and apartment shortages, the tremendous demand for goods and services, a marvel to behold. Oh, people are confident about their jobs.

I say fantastic. And the ability to even get better ones if they want to. They're spending more than I've ever seen, but they're doing it with cash, not on credit. They're doing so in a roaring 20s style. He's like, I'm done. I'm done. Like, we should wrap up this. Forget the questions.

We should just wrap it up. This is really embarrassing. Now, to the lefties who listen to the show, you used to be more critical of this type of stuff. You did. Again, hat tip Cernovich, who picked this out, this cut from a while ago, made this exact point. It's a good one. this exact point it's a good one Cernovich is like hey you know the liberals just a couple of decades ago used to be skeptical of concentrated power business monopolies pharmaceuticals the energy industry all this stuff they used to be more critical of collective power here's John

Stewart a liberal you know when he had his show on Comedy Central, wherever it was. Here's John Stewart going after Jim Cramer for being a mouthpiece for Bear Stearns before it collapsed. Yet this is the same Jim Cramer right now spouting off mouthpiece like a mouthpiece about the political left, about how great the Biden economy is. And notice now he'll be a hero. They used to be more critical of this stuff here. Watch this. Here's the receipts. While Kramer wasn't giving up on Barrett 69, 11 days later, the stock market was more comfortable with it at two. But it's all sort of equivocal. You know, it's I'm reiteratingating I like bear in 60s, I like bear in 70s. He's not saying literally I'm asking you to buy bear sterns.

For that, you'd have to go back a full seven weeks before the stock completely collapsed. I'm asking people who are watching this video to buy bear sterns. buy Bear Stearns. Now, that was seven weeks before it collapsed. In the interest of context, continue. I'm asking people who are watching this video to buy Bear Stearns. Now, Bear Stearns acts much better than it should. Now, that's just intuition.

And I don't want to put too much faith in intuition, but I have had good intuition over 29 years of investing. And I just think that this one has a very big upside, very limited downside here. It is, I think that that last quarter, they've staunched the losses. They're very good at cutting their losses at bear, but bear, I believe, is for sale, and I think there are many buyers.

Could be a bidding war. Yes. All right, Jim Cramer, you said it here that used to be liberalism the aclu questioning concentrated power liberal comedians like john stewart who's gotten involved in social activism through the years questioning concentrated power. Liberal comedians like Jon Stewart, who's gotten involved in social activism through the years, questioning concentrated power, Wall Street and things like that, not anymore. We're the only ones left doing that.

By the way, it's going to get a lot worse for Biden coming up. It gives me no joy in telling you that. It is our country and I don't want to see it collapse. And I think we will fix it when we get rid of this clown. But there's a great twitchy article,

BMI Newsletter by Sarah D. It says, Biden's on borrowed time. This account, Political Math on Twitter, forecasts a very rude awakening for the Biden administration and Democrats when tax season gets here. Why? Folks, a lot of people have been advanced

their child tax credit. So you think you're getting a big refund with a child tax credit? They've already advanced about billions of dollars in that. Secondly, student loan payments are coming due in January of 2022. None of this is going to get any better. It's all going to hit at the same time. All right, let me get to my last sponsor.

Here's my guy. I got questions for Dan coming up. Good questions this week. Me and Guy both agreed on that one. And just a quick article about Rumble. I'm really proud to be part of it, but Reclaim the Net did a great piece on us. At Wealthsimple, we're built for whatever you're building. Built for Jane, who wants to break into the housing market. We're built for Ted, who's obsessed with what's happening in the global markets. And built for Celine, who just wants to retire and explore the world's flea markets. So take a moment and think about what you're building for.

We've got the financial tools to help make it happen. Wealthsimple. Built for possibilities. Visit wealthsimple.com slash possibilities. When doctors, clinicians, and government officials collaborate with our country's innovative pharmaceutical companies, possibilities visit wealthsimple.com slash possibilities when doctors clinicians and government officials collaborate with our country's innovative pharmaceutical companies the side effects include improved policies that speed up the delivery of medications to those in need and better overall health for all canadians okay uh just a quick article i included in the newsletter today you know rumble uh now that we've gone public through CFVI, it's been just a fantastic week.

And I am always proud to be a part of it in this new movement for free speech and a free and open internet. We're rebirthing the internet. It is being reborn right now, the free and open internet. And there are me and a lot of other companies. But Rumble, we're preparing for more folks. It's not just a, it's not just video as an alternative to YouTube.

Reclaim the net is a good piece. If you're interested, rumble CEO, Chris Pavlosky says the platform is preparing to compete with Amazon and Microsoft. Check it out. Big things ahead. And I'm really excited to be a part of it.

It'll be in the newsletter. All right, let's get to, do we have a liner for this? The questions for this goes in and post, right? Questions for Dan. I'll pretend I saw that. That was great.

It's the only one we put in later every single time, but it still looks good. Question number one for Dan. I alluded to this one before. Hey, Dan, it's by Coder Path. Research is a learned skill. I've been pretty good at detecting lies, but you seem to have had some more formal training in this area. Any advice on how to become better at vetting information? Books to read, courses to take,

people to follow, et cetera. Yes, yes, yes. The people to follow is critical. Go to your social media accounts, wherever they are, and you have you have to listen it's a process of trial and error i mean i can help you along by telling you that you know you what i mean trial and error is you follow some people you think are really smart then they tweet a bunch of stupid stuff and you get rid of them and then you follow a bunch of people people recommend and you're like ah this guy's so-so and then after a few weeks you're like damn this guy's good you know i just followed this woman natalie on bitcoin there's uh peter schiff is very good on economics steve dace and phil kirpin on coronavirus um these are really really good followers cernovich on culture stuff

daniel horowitz on coronavirus um these are really good analysts on what's going on in the culture. Michael Knowles and Matt Walsh on that stuff. So that's number one, learning who to follow is good. But here's another thing. Here's another trick. And I've said this before. Pay very close attention to this trick. When I was running for office, I used to debate a lot. And I would hear recurrent themes and debates. Like, I'll give you just a quick example to put meat on the bone. One of the things that would come up in a debate a lot by liberals trying to defend Medicare and Medicaid who are going broke. They'd say, no, Medicare, the administrative costs of Medicare are lower.

It's amazing. It's such a great program and i remember thinking to myself a government-run health care program has more efficient administrative uh applications than the private like that made no sense like no one goes to the dmv for administrative efficiency so i used to hear that a lot in debates and i and so i what i did is you just learn how to i would go home i would get on my computer and i would go to Cato, Cato's good, C-A-T-O, the Heritage Foundation and others. And you just put in, you know, Medicare, efficient administrative costs, myth.

And you'd see all these articles pop up. And yeah, you just get good. So following the right people, places like Cato, you know, Heritage does a lot of white papers. You know, you'll find a lot of foreign policy places like that. So yeah, learning how to research is a skill. white papers. You know, you'll find a lot of foreign policy places like that. So yeah, learning how to research is a skill. So thanks for the question.

I appreciate it. Oh, that's the dog picture guy. Yeah, he posted a picture of a dog. No one I love. It worked. I do love dogs. This is from at Sharon Ald. Hey, Dan, this is my first post on Locals.

Welcome to Locals. I'm at D Bongino there. We appreciate it. She says, I joined especially for you. Much appreciated. Love your show. If Russia attacks Ukraine and China attacks Taiwan, what do you think you at the U S and the UK will do?

Nothing. Biden will do nothing. A matter of fact, it leaked yesterday, but the UK will do. I'm not sure. Boris Johnson seems as a lot. It seems to have a lot of a Christmas party issues now going on with his own

political crisis and lockdowns there. I'm not sure. It's not funny. I'm not laughing. I'm just saying Boris Johnson's kind of preoccupied right now. But Biden's already apparently told, according to a number of leaks, told Ukraine, forfeit your territory. What is he going to do? Nothing. I think that prediction will turn out to be accurate. All right, moving on. This is at Laura McGaffney. Hey, Dan, we know you and Lucy love steak. She does. It gets her a little sick though, Lucy. I gotta be careful with the beef.

But what's your favorite dessert the beautiful Paulita makes you? What dish do you cook for her when you're in the doghouse? Can you do a locals video of you cooking? So fun watching you on locals. Thank you. I do kind of a reality show on locals. If you're a subscriber there, again, I'm at fun watching you on locals. Thank you. I do kind of a reality show on locals. If you're a subscriber there again, I'm at the Bongino on locals.com. Uh, I do these

videos. I just, I don't know. I just, sometimes in the middle of the day, I'll just do these random videos doing stuff and people seem to really like, and we got a hundred thousand, uh, followers on the account already at locals and it's only a couple of weeks old. So, uh, thank you very much. What do I cook for Paula? The only thing I ever cook is steak, and I haven't cooked it in a really long time, just being honest with you. But I could cook a mean steak, especially on a charcoal grill. What's my favorite dessert? I don't eat dessert. I have never been a fan of sugar. I know it doesn't taste bad. It doesn't like an Oreo or a good chocolate cake. It tastes good, but I don't get a lot of enjoyment out of it. My junk food is fat.

I am a, I just love the taste of fat. So like when I need a cheat meal or something, I would much prefer five guys and a bag of fries. I would, That's just my, so I don't really eat dessert ever. So she doesn't make me, if she wants to make me something, she knows to make me, she knows. It's so rude. She'll make me a steak or something like that. But not, I don't, I get no enjoyment. I didn't, I barely had a piece of my own birthday cake last week.

A little piece like that. What's that? A side bowl that I like? No, not really. I'm like a meat guy only yes i do yes i'll say there's a local place here griffin surf and turf here down in my neighborhood and they make a this is crazy like that's not joke they make a broccolini and they char it just right and man broccolini who the hell i? I'm telling you, it's like candy. I can't eat enough. Whenever I order the salmon, the owner there is great.

He stacks the broccolini like this for me. It's weird. I know I'm not trying to virtue single. I really enjoy it though. It's like candy. I like smoked almonds too. They used to serve them on Air Force One. Smoked almonds with that smokehouse flavor.

I hated almonds till I tried those. And I've been addicted to those for a while, too. All right, moving on. This is from at RogerRN44. Dan, love the economics talk. Thank you. So do I. It's a bedrock of society, learning how to allocate resources. He says, why does the stock market keep going up, yet inflation's at a 30-year high and

all those open jobs? Is it because the government keeps pumping money out? What say you? Yes. Yes. Well, it's not just going to say yes. Why? The government is printing money.

The money goes places. It goes to financial institutions and filters out into the economy. Folks, wealthy people who get their hands on that money, it doesn't matter if it's through loans, through capital returns, whatever it is, they're always seeking alpha. They're always seeking more returns. The wealthy know if they leave the money in the bank account, that 6.8% inflation means they're losing money by the day. Again, that's literal, not figurative.

If you keep your money in a bank account and it gets a one percent return and you're losing one and a half to two percent a month, you're not making money. So what rich people know to do and successful people and financial managers and people who are smart with money is they have to always seek a return bigger than inflation or you're losing money by doing nothing. So what do they do? Folks, the only thing they really can do, bond returns are low. Look at the returns on bonds. One, two, 3%, even junk bonds, like 4%. You're still losing money. So all they can do is take a flyer on stocks. So what do they do? They pour money into the stock market and they go like this. That's why stocks keep going up. More people are bidding on stocks.

So great question. Sorry, I sound almost aggravated. I love your question. I'm not aggravated you. Yes, the government's inflating the stock market. It's that simple. I can prove it. Product productivity's down economy only grows we produce more stuff we're producing less stuff so how's the stock market keep going up because the government's making it go up okay this is at victoria lee for usa what's it like being the head of a household dominated by women i don't know my life i've been surrounded by women my entire life i was raised by a single mom. My campaign was run by a woman. Uh, I worked for a number of women in the secret service. I have a wife and two daughters and Lucy's, uh, Lucy's a female dog. Uh, I, I don't know. It's,

it's just been, I don't know what it's it's I've never known any different to be honest with you. I never really thought of that. I only picked the question because I don't have an answer. I've never known any different. I've always been surrounded with women my entire life. I mean, a good swath of my staff on Fox is women. So it's always been this state of things. This is from at MKG124. Hey, Dan, my husband and I are looking to leave California, relocate to South Carolina.

Good move. What did you and Paula do to integrate into the community when you moved to Florida? Happy belated birthday from a listener also born on December 4th. Well, happy belated birthday to you as well. What did we do? We went to a lot of house parties. And it was interesting because I had kind of a public profile already when I moved to Florida. So it would always be interesting because everybody wanted to talk about Fox and stuff like that. But I always made sure my kids had what they call play dates now. It's just called hanging out back in the day. Everything's like, good, play date. But really nothing complicated.

A lot of house parties, which were kind of fun. A lot of barbecues. At least when I moved over here into the neighborhood I'm in now, it's an island. So it's pretty close in the community i i found the guy whose daughter goes to school with my daughter and he's a huge trump guy and me and him kind of became like besties a little bit so we do a lot of we may do a lot of tequila drinking in his backyard once so maybe maybe i'm just suggesting that may happen i'm not i'm not confirming or denying anything. This is the fourth attempt. You finally made it at Shawnee eight,

one nine says fourth attempt, any chance of a conservative ride share business, an app for the parallel economy. We need one Uber and Lyft are way left and too expensive. Thanks. P S watch you every day. You know what, Shawnee,

I haven't thought about that, but I've got a lot more coming. The parallel account. Matter of fact, I had a call yesterday. I can't share the details of it yet, but it's so different from what I'm doing now, building the tech parallel economy in conjunction with others, but it's the greatest idea I think I've ever had. Well, I should say it's not my idea. Joining this business is my, I don't even want to say it. I'm so excited, but yeah, that's an interesting idea. Uber and Lyft. I haven't thought about that. Who knows? Maybe that'll be next. Okay. This is from at Florida
