Caleb Hall, I don't know exactly what his Twitter twitter handle is but he puts out a bunch of these now nancy pelosi launched a intra dc civil war yesterday with donald trump by declaring

that something was going on that trump was doing something right before a meeting and trump lost his mind she's talking about this. It was a very positive meeting, a respectful sharing of ideas. We believe that no one is above the law, including the president of the United States. And we believe that the president of the United States is engaged in a cover up, in a cover up. And that was the nature of the meeting. it's at caleb j hall you saw it on the screen it's dude very very funny very of course you saw at the end nancy brought her tinfoil cap and it magically appeared at the end that if you're missing it folks go to youtube.com slash bud you know but the point of the video is that the tinfoil cap and it magically appeared at the end of it. If you're missing it, folks, go to youtube.com slash bud Gino. But the point of the video is that the tinfoil cap

thing they put in is kind of a joke. But for our audio listeners who always come first, of course, the point of the story is that Nancy Pelosi has now lost her mind. She is accusing the president of a coverup with a president, Joe, who there has never been a president more open in American history than Donald Trump. Listen to me. Time out of it. Because I have a lot of listeners. I don't say that like in a laudatory way. Look at me.

I got a lot of listeners. I say it because we have a very diverse audience. We get a lot of hate mail from liberals who listen to the show. That's fine. I put out my email for a reason. You want to listen to shows free, right? But I know we have Democrats that listen here.

Regardless of your feelings about Donald Trump, it is illogical, irrational, and just pure, unadulterated idiocy to claim that this guy, Donald Trump, has not been the most open and accessible president in American history. Joe, listen, we're both biased. We're both conservatives.

I get it. But taking yourself out of that for a minute, if you can. Is anything I'm saying nuts? I mean, right? No, you're right on there. Every time the guy gets on Marine One, right? He gives a presser. He gives pressers all the time.

He's constantly answering questions. He gave unprecedented access to his staff to a witch hunt on a crime he knew he didn't commit and now Pelosi is sabotaging everything in this this country the entire republic any possibility of any kind of immigration package anything she's throwing it all down the drain to double down on the president now accusing him of basically a crime that he's covering up what he's covering up nobody can figure out yeah there's an joe i saw an interesting tweet um kerry pickett got this congressman kerry pickett pickett who's a a great reporter i used to work with her kerry pickett gets this

congressman and says hey um what exactly is he covering up or obstructing? The congressional investigation. He goes, oh, well, how? And she says, well, how is this any different from the Obama administration and Eric Holder? And the guy goes, well, you know, it's different. She goes, well, should they have impeached Holder, impeached Obama?

And the congressman's like, I'm not going to get into a legal fight with you. Right. Because they don't want to answer the question, what is he obstructing? Listen, I don't want to waste a lot of time on this, which is kind of a funny video, but still, it's ridiculous. Nancy Pelosi has gone full-blown conspiracy theory, tinfoil cap. What are they obstructing? They're not letting Don McGahn testify. He spoke to Mueller for 30 hours as the White House counsel. What president gives up his White House lawyer, the White House lawyer, to testify to a witch-hunting former FBI director appointed as a

special counsel to investigate a crime the president knows didn't happen, and then you give up your lawyer for 30 hours to talk to him, and you're obstructing and covering something up? Folks, we've really reached peak stupid. Really. I mean, it's beyond belief now what's going on. All right, I've got some serious stuff. There's a lot of news, though. We had some breaking news earlier in the week, so I want to get to this all before Friday.

Oh, one quick note again. By the way, I'll be in for Hannity tonight. Sean Hannity, Fox News Channel, 9 p.m. Please watch it. Please, I need you there, folks. You make the show look great. You make us look great. I deeply appreciate it.

I won't let you down. 9 o'clock tonight on Hannity. I'll be filling in for Sean, Fox News Channel. Check it out. Set your DVR if you can't watch it live. All right, story number two, some new stuff we missed over the last few days. Avenatti, the creepy porn lawyer, is back.

This guy was painted by the media as the Trump nemesis. And listen, I don't want to cover Avenatti stories because there's nothing intellectually to dive into. The guy was a buffoon. He was always a buffoon. He was a loser. He gave a bad name. I like lawyers. A lot of the smartest people I know are lawyers.

I know sometimes it's fashionable to bash lawyers, but I'm not kidding. lot of the smartest people I know are lawyers. I know sometimes it's fashionable to bash lawyers, but I'm not kidding. Some of the smartest people I've ever met are lawyers. And there's always a few bad seeds in every group and there's no need to, but this guy was an embarrassment to the legal profession from the start. It was obvious to anybody with their eyes,

he was an embarrassment. He was horrible. This guy was awful. He was awful. Now, the story I'm going to present to you is not about Avenatti. The story here is about how low our media

has sunk. That a guy like Avenatti, who Joe, me, Paula, my seven-year-old daughter Amelia, figured out early, was a creep, was a loser, was only in this for the fame and the money. We figured out early was a creep, was a loser, was only in this for the fame and the money.

We figured out right away because our antenna went up that this guy was an awful human being. Now, these are allegations, again, unlike Avenatti's nonsense, everyone's innocent until proven guilty. But Avenatti is alleged to have stolen the book advance from his client adult actress, let's call her Stormy Daniels Stephanie Clifford. You stole a book advance from an adult films actress?

Oh my gosh. If that happened, these allegations, if that happens and he's proven guilty of this, I mean can it get any worse for this guy? But the story here is why a guy like this, suspected of these really disgusting crimes, why a guy like this was even injected intravenously into the national discourse. Why?

Well, I'm about to show you a snippet of a video, hat tip, Washington Free Beacon, another knock them out of the parkof-the-park video. The video is long. It's an hour, excuse me, an hour, a minute, 30 seconds. I cut it down to, what did we do, like 33 seconds? Yeah, about 33. I only say that because this goes on forever. I could play this all day.

This is media clips of these utter, complete buffoons in the media, who I place Avenatti above them. If there's a totem pole of stupid, utter complete buffoons in the media who I place Avenatti above them. If there's a totem pole of stupid, I put the media, if the bottom of the totem pole is a lesser set of values, I put the media beneath Avenatti, who most people think is the bottom. He's not. I put a lot of media folks below.

Here's the media surgically attaching their lips to the rear end of the creepy porn lawyer, Michael Avenatti. He's Donald Trump's worst nightmare, Michael Avenatti. Joining us once again is Michael Avenatti. Let's bring in Michael Avenatti. Michael Avenatti. Michael Avenatti. Michael Avenatti, thank you very much.

He's out there saving the country. Don Meacham says he may be the savior of the republic. You are something of a folk hero now. I owe Michael Avenatti an apology. I've been saying enough already, Michael. I've seen you everywhere. What do you have left to say? I was wrong, brother. You have a lot to say. I

am just dying to hear what you think. These people all like you. I'm the only person right here. Donald Trump fears more than Robert Miller. He did say folk hero. Yeah. I have a B12 shot. I think I made it. Seriously, we lost neurons.

We're all dumber. Remember that Billy Madison quote? We are all dumber for having heard that. That's the media, folks. All right, enough on that. But that's what we are. Dendrites, dendritic branches are collapsing. Myelin sheaths in our neurons are degenerating right now.

Axonal connections are dying off. M. Axonal connections are dying off. Mitochondria are dying off. Take your foundation from Brick. I haven't even got to the commercial yet. Take the foundation. Maybe the creatine and ATP will reconnect some of those. My synapses are failing. The synapses are failing. This is the media in our society.

They're triage of needs, Joe. We've been told the media's triage of needs, number one, is to get the facts out there. This is not true, ladies and gentlemen. And to be clear, not everyone there was media. Some of them were, you know, Bill Maher's an opinion guy. That's fine. Stephen Colbert's a comedian. I don't like their comedy, but that's fine.

They're not news people. Maher and Colbert can have anybody they want on. But there were, quote unquotequote serious news people in there nicole the sellout wallace who actually had this guy on the reason he was on is because in their in their hierarchy of needs the media's first need was to take out donald trump and any useful idiot and tool they can use to take out Donald Trump, no matter how potentially corrupted, they're all blinded to, and they will use him to kneecap Donald Trump. Not realizing in the long run what an absurd strategy that is, because it destroys your credibility. The problem for the media is they have no credibility left to destroy.

credibility. The problem for the media is they have no credibility left to destroy. The worshipping of the Avenatti golden calf has to be one of the lowest moments in modern media history and that's saying a lot in a litany of low moments. Absolutely embarrassing. Embarrassing!

Even for the media. Sorry, enough Bernie today. My wife's going to kill me soon. Okay, a story I missed yesterday. The George Papadopoulos transcripts. It reminds me of like a movie by like J.R.R. Tolkien or something. The Papadopoulos Chronicles are coming up. George Papadopoulos, I mentioned this the other day. I just want to bring this up, not to relitigate an old story,

but there is, what's about to go public is going to be, I don't want to say explosive, because I don't want to overuse these modifiers here, these terms. The whole case, Spygate case is about to get really nasty. Justin Amash and others in these so-called, you know, liberty lovers who support Amash and Democrats and socialists who have failed to see the threat in the Spygate case are about to be humiliated. The media people, it's going to get ugly. There are a number of what Hannity and Solomon and Devin Nunes call buckets of information that are about to come out. It's going to be the declassification of the FISA application, the declassification of the FBI 302s, a series of emails between the FBI, the CIA, and others. Also, what's about to come out are transcripts of George Papadopoulos being recorded.

I covered this earlier in the week, but you may say to yourself, who was recording George Papadopoulos? It's a good question. There are a number of suspects, one being Stefan Halper, the spy who interacted with George Papadopoulos, another one being Alexander Downer, an Australian diplomat who interacted with George Papadopoulos. If there are recordings of Joseph Mifsud, we are in a world of trouble. I don't bring this up to talk about the story again. I bring this up because I want to prepare you for what the Democrats' counter is going to be. Ladies and gentlemen, the Democrats are absolutely refusing, as I said

yesterday, to take the loss. They won't. No matter how much comes out exposing these people, and I would smile a little bit because I want to get the press during this segment. History will humiliate these people. History always speaks with clear eyes eyes we're always living in a fog in the present and why is that because people alive right now have a vested interest in making this story go away media people have invested their livelihoods in it bloggers have you know garnered international fame and television shows like rachel maddow have invested their entire reputations in it people will go to jail if the truth comes out. People, you get what I'm saying, Joe?

Like the reason the president is always, we're always immersed in a fog where we can't see our own hands in front of our face is because people have an interest in keeping that fog thick. Again, there's nothing deep there. It's obvious. But I don't want you to get depressed at this segment with me saying that in the short run, the media is not going to tell you the truth and take the L because in the long run, the fog always dissipates. People die off. People serve their jail terms. People

eventually want to write books of their own. They even admit their own guilt. Eventually, it all comes out. We even found out who Deep Throat was in Watergate years ago, which was the most, you know, was ago, which was the most, you know, was a big, remember Joe lived through, I mean, I was too young, but who Deep Throat was, was a huge deal. Turns out it was a senior manager in the FBI. It all comes out. This will all be litigated in the end. And you people who continue to back this story up are going to be horrified. Now the Democrats are refusing to take the loss on this. They are still insisting the biggest spying scandal in American history did not happen.

How they're going to say that when actual transcripts of a Trump team member, George Papadopoulos, being recorded by U.S. intelligence assets and people working with them. How they're going to claim he wasn't spied on, Joe, is insane. Where do you think these recordings appeared from? Do you think like the tooth fairy, there's a recording fairy? Like there's a record runs around recording people's conversations and leaves them under your pillow at night when you lose a tooth? Where do you think these recordings came from these recordings mysteriously made it to the u.s government how did they do that the recording fairy obviously you missed that

right joe the recording fairy there rip out a tooth put it under your belt here's a recording of George Papadopoulos, the recording fair. I mean, they will not take the L, the loss. Tap out. That's why my arms don't straighten. You see my arms? They don't straighten anymore. That's how far they go. I'm not kidding. They don't straighten because when I was a kid

in jujitsu and you're getting arm barred, I'd be like, hold on. I'd try to curl my way out of it, and now my elbows don't work. Just tap out. They won't. I was setting you up with that

because I'm telling you what the Democrats counter is going to be. Get ready. They're going to say not only these transcripts exist, they're going to have to admit that because there is no recording fairy but papadopoulos according to what i'm hearing is on these transcripts telling people that not only is the trump team not colluding with russia that to do so would be treason and papadopoulos appears from what i'm hearing angry on the transcripts that

he's even being asked the question now i, I've spoken to George as well, and I can confirm from George's side that George was pretty angry that people were saying things to him that would be treason. Now, Joe, does that sound like a colluder with Russia if you mention colluding with Russia and he's angry that you would even mention the idea Russia if you mention colluding with Russia and he's angry

that you would even mention the idea accusing you of treason yourself that's called exculpatory evidence yes that's right that you're fired up at the mere assertion that you're involved in this not only is he not admitting to it

he's denying it Joe maybe it's a better way to say it he's denying it so passionately that he's counter accusing the other guy of treason no not collusion democrats take away no no no no no thank you thank you for summing that up there you go joe what a t-shirt joe armacost not collusion that he always has a way of digging through i over explain things sometimes and forgive me i do that because i feel like if you leave and you don't understand what's going on i feel like you're missing something ladies and gentlemen the democrats excuse is going to be oh popadopoulos knew he was being recorded so this was like a triple quadruple reverse like oh i love that sound effect it's a he knew he was do you get how dumb this is oh they're gonna say mark my words get ready for it

that george understood he was being recorded and because of that he was running like a reverse psychology psyop on the guy and he really was joe's like really this is really dumb but it gets better he was running reverse psychology psyops Joe and he was telling the guy you're guilty of treason he was so passionately defending his character against these charges because he really wanted to

he wanted to get you off the sniffing trail onto someone else's trail like the bloodhound Papadopoulos is he's such a ham that Pap the bloodhound papadopoulos is he's such a ham that papadopoulos he's such a ham he needs an oscar this papadopoulos get this kid an oscar i mean guys ladies will you please just give so you're telling me just to be clear because now i want to give you the counter to the democrats count it's coming it's coming i'm telling you it's coming no no no poppinopolis was really guilty okay we were spying on him there's no recording fairy we did record

him but he was just he knew he was being recorded so he was just leading us on a different path so you're telling me let me get this straight You're now acknowledging that a human intelligence asset with a lifetime of working with the Central Intelligence Agency and foreign intelligence, this guy, Stefan Halper, if in fact he has the recordings or those recordings were made by him or someone working with him. You're telling me he managed to be duped. I love George. Don't get me wrong. But by a young man with really no big-time campaign experience

that he duped him and screwed. This kid needs an Oscar. Get him a Golden Globe. He would be the greatest actor ever. They can never get their story straight. Nope. First it was Papadopoulos, this dopey kid. He got fooled into this Russian collusion scandal.

Now he's James Bond. He's Matthew Bourne or Jason Bourne or whatever the hell his name is. Matthew McConaughey, Jason Bourne. Who's the actor? I don't even watch movies anymore. You know who I'm talking about. Now he's Hawkeye from the Avengers.

He's Black Widow. Most sophisticated intelligence asset in human history. He managed to spin the CIA guy on the tape. Listen to me. We are putting together a prediction show. I'm telling you this will be, I'm right again. This will be their comeback. Oh no, he was spinning the CIA guy.

So your CIA guy, your intelligence asset was so stupid, he couldn't figure that out? Oh gosh, are you guys dumb? What do I keep telling you? This is a spy story for idiots, for imbeciles. I may be having a little too much fun with today's show I don't usually do comedy folks it's not my bag of donuts but sometimes I get a little loopy during shows that I mean that in a good way and I like that a little funny dude I thank you I hope you don't mind I'm not trying to take over for

Joe Rogan or Adam Carolla comedy's not my thing but I like to laugh once in a while too because I'm a god-fearing citizen of the greatest country on Earth, America. Even though we've been under attack by a bunch of morons, it's still worth waking up every morning in this great place. It's worth it to smile once in a while.

Well, I'm sorry. I almost got left. I'm so into the Marines. I forgot I have... We got 40 minutes left in the show. I was like, all right. Nice. Have a nice day, folks. See you tomorrow. All right. Another story about liberal hypocrisy. I've been stacking these up all week. I showed you my notebook

was packed. And I get so into stories, sometimes I don't get to them all. So Kamala Harris, you know, running for president on another ridiculous far left Bernie Sanders like liberal platform, Democrat senator from California, Kamala Harris, Joe made a big deal the other day about the wage gap. In other words, here's a story in IJR from Madison Dibble. One day after announcing wage gap plan, report shows's not funny folks just kamala harris keep that up please

for those of you you can see it already i'm spoiling it already for the video uh viewers kamala harris made a big deal as a liberal democrat running against trump about a mythical wage gap in america that women are paid less than men for the same work it's a myth it's been debunked get a load of this one day after announcing wage gap plan reports show men are paid less than men for the same work. It's a myth. It's been debunked. Get a load of this. One day after announcing wage gap plan, reports show men are paid more than women in Kamala Harris's office. You sound like Gary from the Howard Stern Show. I'm crying.

I can't take it. I can't take it. I can't take it. I really can't. It is so easy with these hypocrites. It is. It's not even hard. What Joe? Yeah.

Wouldn't you think if you're saying you're running for president for a minute, right? Armacost may, he's got so much name ID out there. You probably could show you would win primaries and probably like 10 or 12 steps. I'm not even kidding. Armacost 2024, he's got so much name ID out there. You probably could. Joe, you would win primaries in probably like 10 or 12 steps. I'm not even kidding. Armacost, 2024, right? He probably could.

If you were running for president and you were going to go out and give a speech, you know the national media is watching you. She's a serious candidate. Her policies aren't serious, but she's a serious candidate. She's not a joke. She's raising a lot of money. And you're going to put out a statement that you are going to fight against women being paid less than men for the same job again a debunked talking point i'll hit in a

minute wouldn't you check your own office first and be like hey uh fellas ladies uh are we paying women the same as men oh no we're not how are we looking back hold on time out where we need to i can only throw the foundation box you know red flag on the field someone get us a red flag under the hood for review the women now i have the numbers here she has two offices kamala harris has her u.s senate campaign stamp office where women are paid 94 cents for every dollar men are paid discrimination discrimination sexist clearly joe by the democrats own rules is it not joe is it not sexist no that is quite sexist dan is this not misogynistic isn't it obvious thank you producer joe for chiming in always at the right moment now oh i'm not done it's even worse her camp that that was an unintentional bernie i wasn't even trying

it just came out even worse the campaign office for president in her campaign office women are only paid 87 cents for every dollar man sexism sexism misogyny obviously there it is eeo equal opportunity employment commission you better get in there start investigating they're sexist by their own rules you you would have think she would have done some basic math just some basic math like hey um maybe we should check around the office and make sure that women are being paid. They're not. Sexism right at work right there with the libs. Ladies and gentlemen, they're all frauds. for different people, men or women, sexist? No, I'm being facetious there. It would be easy for me. I'm joking, obviously, about that last part. It would be easy for me to say that. If I was a liberal, Kamala Harris is obviously a sexist and a misogynist. She's not. I don't believe that. She's got really silly, dopey policies, and she likes to talk about myths and fairy tales and

debunk talking points like the wage gap but there are probably legitimate reasons why people in her office are paid different amounts joe now this is be prepared joe this is only hard yeah for liberals for regular smart people um conservatives you know moderate democrats some democrats moderate republicans and others. Get ready, Joe. People are paid different amounts because they have, wait for it, time out, different skills. Oh!

Oh! Oh! Bombshell! Bombshell! Joe's like the Geico caveman. The Ge caveman agrees the ender dole joe agrees yes people are paid different amounts for different skills now the fact that i have to talk about this is deeply troubling but i pulled up an article from forbes it's a little bit older but it was the quickest way to sum up for you,

for liberals listening again, why there is a, quote, wage gap between men and women. This is an article from 2016 called Don't Buy Into the Gender Pay Gap Myth by Karen Agnes Lips. It's an older one at Forbes, but I used Forbes for a reason, just to be clear. I know I don't want to fall into this trap in the future, but Joe, I didn't want to use a right-leaning outlet, even though I know

they're right, because this is the one thing we can't be wrong on. Listen, if women were legitimately being discriminated against, I have two daughters and a wife. It's a pretty bad thing. So I said, you know what? I'm going to play it with a straight outlet, Forbes. Not that the facts are any different, but I don't want any liberal ignoring what I'm about to say. So from the Forbes piece, and ironically, the Forbes piece, Joe, quotes the BLS and a Slate article. Slate, they quote Slate, a left-leaning outlet, and the BLS, the U.S. Government's Bureau of Labor Department Statistics.

It says, if we want to have a fruitful discussion about a gender wage gap, we should have it after the comparison is adjusted for those factors. Hold on one second. The factors she is talking about are men take more dangerous jobs on average. Because we're talking, Joe, about average wages. Okay. Men take more dangerous jobs on average than women. Not in every case.

On average, liberals, that does not mean a single subject design. Therefore, there is a risk premium built into the salary. People who do more dangerous work are compensated at a higher rate, number one. Number two, they don't do the same jobs either. Some jobs offer a more flexible schedule that may be more preferable to women than men. That flexible schedule may come with less money in exchange for said flexible schedule. It's why more women than men are teachers. Not in every case. On average.

We're comparing averages. Finally, as pointed out in the piece, the government's own data, the Bureau of Labor Department statistics, shows that this 77 cents number, they earned 77 cents on the dollar,

gives the impression that a man and woman standing next to each other doing the same job for the same number of hours get paid different salaries. That's not at all the case. Full-time officially means 35 hours. But men work more hours than women. That's the first problem.

Kind of a big problem, Joe, is it not? Yeah. That's a big problem. Ladies and gentlemen. Yeah. Maybe that's. We need to think of the Joe. We need the Armacost collector series and T-shirts.

Oh, gosh. Armacost. That's a big problem, Dan. Folks, let's get this straight. So men pick more dangerous jobs. They pick a different set of jobs with less flexible hours, which they have to be compensated for. And men, on average, work more hours than women. When you control for those factors, ladies and gentlemen, they're called confounding variables for those of you liberals out there who can't do basic science.

In other words, they create confounds in the data set that alter what your final outcome can be. They screw with your testable hypothesis because they're confounds. when you control for those and you judge the same job with the same person working the same hours there is no wage gap it's a myth folks i only bring this up not to bore you with mundane nonsense because i want to prepare you for what's coming in this election 2020 is is around the corner. We have to win. If we lose, God help the country. That's all I can say. You are going to be arguing with people and liberal friends. And you may say, well, I don't argue with liberal friends. I'm not trying to convince them. Fine. I get it. Don't try to convince your liberal friends of anything but argue with them anyway

because someone else may be listening and when that third person hears you rationally lay out the case like hopefully absent the humor me and joe just did about the wage gap hopefully that third person will say you know what i watched these two go back and forth here. And the conservative guy or woman is right. 2020 is around the corner. Don't argue with liberals to waste your time. Argue with liberals in the hope that you may break one or two of them of their ridiculous ideas, but in all likelihood you won't. But you may convince two or three people listening

that we are on the right side of this. Ladies and gentlemen, discrimination is never okay. I'm not preaching to you. We all know this. We're conservatives. We believe God has touched the shoulder of every single human being on this planet and given them God-given big all rights.

That's what we believe. Discrimination due to sex, race, any kind of characteristic outside of job skills? Ridiculous. Unworthy of the United States of America. That goes without saying. We don't need to get preachy about it.

We agree on that. But we cannot agree on how to fix our problems if we disagree on what the problem is. You want to solve a wage gap that doesn't exist? How? How do you want to do that? Kamala Harris, I want people in the boardroom to report to the United States government. You mean the same government you work for where you're not even paying women as much as men in your own office? In two of them?

Your staff office or your campaign office? You mean that government oh no no not that one well what government is it the government the governor the governor of mars i mean what are we talking about you work for the u.s government you can't even monitor your own campaign office and let me get this straight you want to monitor every corporate boardroom in America. Oh, my gosh. Give me a break. The arrogance of these people is astounding.

Isn't it? It's hard to believe. The government. The government has a knowledge problem. You know, I can't say this enough. Father Bob Sirico, the Act acting Institute, very bright guy. This is probably getting, I'm going to close it in on a record for the times I've quoted father Bob

Sirico with the same quote, maybe upwards of 15 times. Now we were using this when Joe and I were recording in my basement, Maryland, I was listening on C-SPAN, him give a speech one time. And he said the greatest line I've heard in a long time, because it's so simple and elegant. He it's not that the government he said it's not that the government's too big it's that the government's too stupid

yes what has two thumbs up thank you thank you very much two thumbs up. Thank you. Thank you very much. Two thumbs up. It agrees with Father Bob Sirico. This guy. The government is too stupid. I remember being in the Secret Service. It's not the people in there. It's the organization of the government, the layered bureaucracy that makes it impossible

to get anything done in the government. I will never forget working for the Secret Service at the end of the budget period, right around September, October. You know where I'm going with this, Joe. And I'm sitting in the training center and they're like, hey, we have some money left over. And in my head, I'm thinking, okay, so give it back. It's not our money. It's a tax problem. I was always a conservative with the Secret Service. No, no, we've got to spend it. Right. Why? Because then we won't get the same amount next year you're like um what what Joe you know Joe doesn't work for me he works with me over here though in Bongino Inc uh we have a

number of people we pay we have money going in and out can you imagine me saying to Paula at the end of the year Paula we need to waste sixty thousand000 so next year we can be sure to spend more money. She'd be like, are you an imbecile? Are you something wrong? Did you eat something? Was there something in the Chipotle? Was it not in the double chicken? Did they spike the Chipotle?

She's really good at coming. She's like, what are you, stupid? We have $60,000 left over in savings of anticipated money. We were going to spend it. We didn't. And you want to spend it so we can spend more next year? That's how the government works because it's too stupid. I'm not kidding.

That happened. They were like, go buy some, I forget what it was digital cameras like yeah we already have six of those we need 10 wow yeah but there's only six people in the squad carry two and keep the two rookies with one well i'd rather just carry one two or heavy keep the senior guys with one and the rookies the four rookies with the two. I don't remember how many people in this room, how many cameras, but that was a serious camera. That actually happened with the cameras.

Yeah. Oh, really? With the cameras? By a GPS. They come with the cars now. Get another one. The car one might break. Go get a flashlight. I have one. we were given a free one lately it doesn't matter the battery can run i could replace the battery you could replace the flashlight

just get another flashlight they're different sizes it's the same lumens you could use some one of them as a nightstick. Get the big one. What's wrong with you? And you're like, okay, whatever. This is how the government works. It has a knowledge problem. It is too stupid to figure things out. My gosh, you want to put them in charge of your tax dollars? You want to let them crack open your chest by running a healthcare system system you want them to educate your kids man you wonder why i'm a libertarian real libertarian leading conservative don't spend government money on anything you don't absolutely have to because whatever government spends it on it has no cost incentive or quality incentive to keep the

cost down and the quality up because as Milton Friedman said, it's not their money and they're not even buying this stuff for themselves anyway. They're giving it to other people. A total horror show. Alright, moving on. Oh boy, I want to get to this

Comey-Brandon stuff. i enjoyed today's show i i once in a while i need to i need to let loose man you guys i looked forward to this i really did i hope you all know i'm like talking deeply into like swallowing the mic here how much this show means to me it is my i don't see a therapist for anything.

me. And I know it means a lot to Joe too. Yeah, man. All right. Okay. Today's show brought to you by our buddies at BCM Bravo company manufacturing.

I've had this shirt forever. It's good. All right. Get back to my show here today. Off the rails completely. The battle between Jim Comey and John Brennan continues. Put up that Breitbart article if you don't mind. The battle between these two is going to go on.

They're going to start selling each other out. They already have. I told you that two weeks ago. Breitbart article by Aaron Klein. Spygate. Obama administration cut Situation Room video feed during meetings on a Russia investigation. This is an interesting story. I put it in yesterday's show notes.

But it's not, you know, they're cutting the video, the feed. That's fine. Interesting. But I'm not really too worried about that. There's a snippet from this piece that's more fascinating. was thinking of, but I'm not really too worried about that. There's a snippet from this piece that's more fascinating. They talk about how Jim Comey and Brennan are at each other's throats over who

asked for the dossier information to be included in the ICA. A little bit of background. I went into this the other day, but I'll just give you a short Reader's Digest summary now. The intelligence community assessment that was done after the election. Remember the old 17 agencies agree

the Russians tried to hack the election to benefit donald trump everybody remember that well obviously it wasn't 17 agencies that was a hoax it said that it was really brennan and his cabal and what they were doing is after the election they were trying to do a c y a or in their case a c t a cover their rear ends, let's say. They knew what they had done. They had spied on the president. They had used a faulty source and steal, and they had engaged in a parallel construction scheme. Parallel construction is when you get information from a source you cannot use or you want to hide, and you reconstruct the case using a different source,

even though the way the case started was illicit and potentially illegal. So you reconstruct the case through another source. That's what happened here. The Central Intelligence Agency head, John Brennan, clearly, and wait, I gave a little blink for those audio listeners who don't see that often, little blinker-ooski. intelligence agency head, John Brennan, clearly. And wait. I gave a little blink for those audio listeners who don't see that often. Little blinker-ooski.

Wait for it to break about just how tight and cozy the relationship between Christopher Steele and maybe John Brennan was. Wait for that one coming soon. Add that to the predictions reel. Hmm. wait for that one coming soon add that to the predictions reel the central intelligence agency is not supposed to be spying on american citizens but what if they want to well joe we could get some information from a spy spying on american citizen which we're not supposed to be doing and then we could tell another guy to tell it to the FBI and hey, they can open up a case. That's what parallel construction is. Now, why does this matter for this story?

There's a piece in this snippet from this Aaron Klein piece at the end where he talks about how Comey and Brennan are now bickering with each other back and forth over who demanded that the dossier be put in the ICA. The dossier information was put in the intelligence community assessment as an appendix. Here's a piece of questioning from Trey Gowdy when he was in Congress and Jim Comey. Gowdy, do you recall the specific conversation or back and forth with then Director Brennan on whether or not the material, he's talking about the dossier and the steel information, should be included in the IC assessment? Comey. Yes, I remember the conversation.

Let me think about it for a second. I remember there was conversation about what form its presentation should take in the overarching document. That is, should it be in an annex? Should it be in the body? That the intelligence community broadly found its source credible and that it was corroborative of the central thesis of the ICA. And the discussion was we should put it in the body or in the attachment. Then Comey goes on to say, I'm hesitating because I don't remember whether I had that conversation with Brennan, but I remember that there was a conversation about how it would be treated. Brennan is saying Comey wanted it in there.

I didn't want it in there. Comey is saying,y wanted it in there. I didn't want it in there. Comey is saying, no, no, no. Brennan wanted it in there. I didn't want it in there. How is that? Comey just said he had a conversation with Brennan about putting it in there. It was just on the screen. Did I not read that clearly, Joe?

Yeah, I heard you. Comey's now's now saying no no brennan wanted it in there and i didn't now do you i i'm if i'm confusing you i'm sorry the reason they're all running from it now despite their zeal to get it in there before is because it's been totally debunked and they thought donald trump would be impeached by now and his story would go away now that he hasn't and operation crossfire boomerang is coming back to slam them all in the face and they're all being asked to testify about what they did to authenticate the information from Steele. They're all being forced to recognize, Joe, that the dossier was garbage from the start.

And what are they all saying? I didn't ask it to be put in there. No, no, you did. Ladies and gentlemen, here's what really happened. Of course Comey asked it to be put into the ICA. Why? Think about it. Think it through.

If you listen to last week's show and this week's shows, it makes perfect sense. Comey's FBI. Comey's FBI was led on. I'm not absolving them of guilt. Don't take this the wrong way for the thousandth time. They wanted to be duped. They hated Trump, but they needed a reason to be duped. The FBI, unlike the CIA, has extensive paperwork requirements for court.

Think about it. Yeah. The CIA, I was talking to my source yesterday, very deep in on this. He made this point. He wanted me to get out there. The CIA is an analytical intelligence agency. They have almost no court requirements at all. The CIA, Joe, gives an opinion.

Right. I think Joe Armacost is a spy. Well, why? When I talked to him, he was sweating. I noticed he had some Russian contacts. When I spoke to him about his friend, Trebnikov, he gave shady answers. Right. I think Joe may be a spy. We're going to spy on Joe. It is

an analysis of a series of data points. The FBI has to at some point present a prosecutable legal case. Nobody cares about your opinion. I think Christopher Steele's a great guy.

I don't care. Is he a verified source or not? Did you actually check the information? No, but we really like him. He's super nice. He's really cutesy. Dude, you're a law enforcement agency. You get the difference, right, Joe?

Yeah. The CIA provides subjective analysis. The CIA provides subjective analysis. The FBI needs to provide provable facts to be used in a court to establish the necessary evidence predicate. So what am I telling you here? Brennan clearly had engaged Steele, Steele's people and others, because we know he had the information likely earlier,

but no later than August of 2016. Brennan has this information about Steele. He's probably telling Comey this information about it, leading them on. The FBI people then go out there and try to build a case and they don't build the case and they run with it anyway. So the original sins in this case, just to be clear,

on Brennan's side is using faulty analysis driven by his political whims, not by an honest subjective analysis. You know what I'm saying? Any clear-eyed person listening to Steele would have known he was full of crap. Brennan was blinded by political hatred for Donald Trump and wanted to spy on him.

That's his original sin. The original sin of the Bureau, which they're trying to cover, is that instead of going out and putting together a prosecutable case, or even in the case of a counterintelligence investigation they wouldn't bring to court, they still had to have a reason to swear out a warrant a probable cause that an american citizen was working on behalf of a foreign government a violation of our laws they didn't do any of it so the fbi's original sin is in breaking their own procedures to target trump brennan faulty analysis jim comey violating their own procedures both to spy on an american you dig yeah jim comey if you understand that what i'm about to say will make perfect sense okay comey needed that dossier in the intelligence community

assessment joe because comey starts to figure out after the election that everything he's been told by brennan did not come from a corroborated source corroborating the information Comey has from Steele. Right. It came from Steele too. Right. Comey figures out after the election he's been duped. So what does Comey say in the old dipsy do flip a ruski?

He says, J.B. Johnny Bizzle. Mm hmm. flip a ruski he says jb johnny bizzle you are gonna put that darn dossier in that ica you get it yeah yeah because then it gives comey an out saying hey look the intelligence community bought it too but you follow what i'm saying we're with you baby that is why brennan keeps insisting i didn't see the dossier until december i didn't tell comey to put it in there yeah i think what you got between comey and brennan is a cross liar hurricane yeah yeah cross right right they cross wired their circuits right cross wire that's what they did.

They crossed it. Right. The wires instead of connecting and Comey figuring out that Brennan's giving him the same information Comey's getting from Steele. Hey, John, are you getting this information from Steele? No, no. We're getting it from other kids. Oh, good. Because it corroborates what we're getting from Steele.

Then he finds out after the election, the other kids were Steele too. And he's like, hey, JB, you told me it was other kids. So now Comey needs to save his professional reputation. So the genesis of this fight is obviously, they're both lying. Comey's saying, I didn't tell him to put it in. He did, you showed his testimony. Comey needed it in there.

They're only running from it now because now they know conclusively it's total garbage. But his testimony to Gowdy, he doesn't deny that there was a conversation about putting it in there, but he denies it now. He needed it in there

to save his reputation and say, look, I was the FBI director. We investigated this case because look, the intelligence community bought it too. It's even in their assessment. Wink, wink, nod, I was the FBI director. We investigated this case because, look, the intelligence community bought it too. It's even in their assessment. Wink, wink, nod, nod. Uh-huh.

I've been dying to get to that story the entire week because these two are going to eat each other alive. It was a parallel construction scheme. Don't forget it. Comey thinks Brennan's giving him information from other kids. It's the same information from Steele being reconstructed because Brennan can't have the American people know he's running a rogue intelligence operation to gather information on a presidential candidate.

So he uses the FBI to do it. There it is, folks. That's the Spygate scandal in a nutshell. I say that because the feud between Comey and Brennan and Clapper is about to get a whole lot worse. Check it. Episode 986. You didn't hear it here first, but you heard it here loud.
