Episode Date: August 21, 2020

In this episode, I address Joe Biden’s awful close to the dreadful DNC and the false praise heaped upon him by media hacks. I also address an email I received by an insider about the disaster unfolding in this liberal city.  News Picks: A definitive compilation of Joe Biden’s lies.  Remember when Bob Gates said Biden was wrong on every major national security issue?  California is a socialist utopia, and a real world disaster. AOC humiliates herself again and makes another ridiculous comparison. Liberals melt down after the Trump team buys an ad in the Washington Post.

Dan Bongino. Cringe, cringe. Yes, cringe again. Cringe, triple exclamation points. I'm sorry, but Joe Biden's speech last night was a disaster. A disaster. An apocalyptic disaster. Anyone, I don't care what network, who they are, anyone telling you Joe Biden's speech last night on the last night of the Democratic National Convention where he accepted the nomination for the presidency was some kind of, you know, rock star Reagan s 1980 moment here is insane.

All right, Joe, let's go. All right, first, because it's Friday, we got to start with a little cringe because the DNC has been full of cringe. And I get it. You know, it's the first time they've had to do this thing, virtual online, Zoom-y type of thing, whatever. It was still an epic disaster. Between the something's happening here thing,

which was terrible. If you saw it, you know what I mean? That singer who was doing that whole thing and he had like a cape on or something. I don't know if he was trying to be Batman or whatever. The thing has been a nonstop cringe fest. This is by far, I will never watch Seinfeld the same way again as this.

This is of all the cringey moments. This is the cringiest cringe moment of the cringiest. And there have been a lot of cringey ones. Here's Julia Louis-Dreyfus. What was her name in Seinfeld? Elaine? Was it Elaine, Paul? I love Seinfeld.

I can't even remember her name. Paul has seen every episode. I haven't seen every one, but I will never look at Elaine the same way again. Here's Elaine from Seinfeld with Andrew Yang, who would run for president. Remember him, the Yang gang and all that stuff, the universal basic income guy.

So here's a it's trying they're trying to do some kind of a toss and they're trying to make it funny. So Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who's supposed to be funny, trying to toss it to Yang. And this thing just descends into the cringiest moment I think I've ever seen at a political convention. Check this out. Hey, Julia. Hi, Andrew. I'm so glad to see you. So what did you think about Kamala Harris's speech last night?

It was tremendous. I was so happy for her. I know, me too. She's fabulous. I cannot wait to see her debate our current vice president, Mika Pines. Or is it Pines? It's pronounced Ponce, I believe.

Oh, some kind of weird foreign name? Yeah, not very American sounding. Yeah, that's what people are saying. Strongly. Well, uh, thank you, Andrew, and please give my regards to the gang. I will. They're right in the next room.

Have a great night julia thank you so much good evening america so funny yeah what the hell was that listen for a seinfeld reference they should have just yada, yada, yada. Oh, man. Just yada, yada, yada. Yada, yada. Don't even. If you watch that, if you're watching us on YouTube, by the way, and you watch, it's even worse. You're like, that can't possibly be.

I'm listening on digital, terrestrial radio, Apple podcast, whatever. The audio is embarrassing enough. Just watch the video. It's even worse. Next time, just yada, yada, yada, yada, and skip the whole thing. Seinfeld fans, get the joke. All right, moving on. So Biden gave his speech last night.

And of course, we get the political class, for some reason, eager to help out Joe Biden or cover for him. I just don't get it. The reviews are in. Even Republicans say it was a terrible speech. The guy couldn't get out of his own way. I'm telling you, Paula. Paula looking at me. We're looking at each other like, what is going on here? They couldn't even comb his hair right.

Go back and look at it over his right ear he's got like fuzzies hanging out like get a scissor man cut the guy's hair holy moses it was the worst thing i've ever seen the guy by the way the dude at the teleprompter because you know joe can't talk off teleprompter he can barely talk on teleprompter but he can't talk off teleprompter. He can barely talk on teleprompter, but he can't talk off teleprompter either. That dude at the teleprompter, I saw this on Parler this morning. Remember the scene in Airplane, when the guy, the comedy movie Airplane,

when he's flying, he's sweating all, the guy at the teleprompter must have been sweating both. Someone probably had a rag and was wiping him down. He's like, don't you dare, if you dare shut this teleprompter off. And so the guy was, I've been backstage as an agent when they do this, the teleprompter guy's one of the toughest jobs.

You got, you know, cause Obama go off script a lot. So does Trump. So you gotta know, you gotta pay attention the whole time. Cause once he goes back on the script, you gotta be like, you gotta turn that dial and keep the prompter moving.

I've been backstage and watched it. That guy must have been sweating. They must have had to do, he must have taken like Degree or Dove antiperspirant and like done his forehead to make sure like the sweat didn't get in his eyes.

Total mess. Total mess. Here, I'm just going to play one short clip because here's Biden again. Why they give this guy a pass on the, it's all about character and decency front. Biden doesn't have any character. I'm really sorry to inform you, but here's Biden trying to hit on,

it's all about character and decency. They're on the ballot. Well, I hope they are because I'm not voting for you. Check this out. Character is on the ballot. Compassion is on the ballot. Well, I hope they are because I'm not voting for you. Check this out. Character is on the ballot. Compassion is on the ballot. Decency, science, democracy, they're all on the ballot. Who we are as a nation, what we stand for, and most importantly, who we want to be, that's all on the ballot. And the choice could not be more clear. Yeah, choice is pretty clear, Joe, if it's about character and decency, and that choice could not be more clear yeah choice is pretty clear joe if it's about

character and decency and that choice isn't you so wall street journal has a good piece this morning showing all the times that mr character dreaded air quotes joe biden captain character you know him superman uh big uh captain america shield both of them at the same he's got the vibranium shield and the superman powers right? Captain character, Joe Biden. Not so much. Wall Street Journal piece. The Joe Biden we know. What is his long political career?

What is it, 47 years? Tell us about how he governed. Let's go to a few screenshots here about, you know, Captain character, Joe Biden. So good. So good. Speech was awful. About how many times Joe Biden's flip-flopped on major issues.

Let's undress Joe Biden here. That's a cringe word. I mean, let's undress his policies. Immediate correction there. Wall Street Journal. Quote, there's a reason for pessimism from the evidence of Joe Biden's long career. He's opposed taxpayer funding for abortion for four decades until he reversed himself last year

in the 1990s he led the fight for a crime bill that he now disavows as he finds america guilty of systemic racism listen it's about character right so he wants to put people in jail to clean up american cities until he doesn't want to put people in jail let the criminals out just to be clear joe biden doesn't support taxpayer funding for abortion until the liberals got on his case. And now we all character, at least Trump's promises he's fulfilled. Let's go to takeaway number two, Joe Biden. Remember the whole Robert Bork confirmation hearing for us older folks out there? Well, Bork was nominated to the Supreme Court. Biden said he'd probably have to vote for him because of his qualifications. Then Teddy Kennedy launched a tirade against Bork,

and Mr. Biden, running the Judiciary Committee, fell right in line and Borked Robert Bork and destroyed his nomination. Now we have Clarence Thomas, who was a great pick. But Bork was destroyed because of Biden. The character guy. Character guy. Let's go to takeaway destroyed because of Biden. The character guy, character guy. Let's go to takeaway number three about Biden. Fire and write duties. Biden supported the invasion of Iraq in 2002

while chairing the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Then he flipped when most Democrats did, and as the fighting became difficult, then he opposed the Iraq surge, saying it would fail. Then in 2011, he supported Barack Obama's withdrawal from Iraq that set the stage for the rise of the Islamic State. He then opposed the raid on Osama bin Laden.

Ladies and gentlemen, Joe Biden has been on the wrong side of every foreign policy issue of our time, not according to me, but according to Bob Gates. I'll get to that in a little while too. All about character. Well, if it's about character, Joe Biden has been in Delaware for a long time.

He's been a senator or some form of politician for 47 years. He's run for president about 62 times. Where is Joe Biden in Delaware? You think after 40 plus years, four decades plus, people in Delaware would have at least seen him at some event here or there. I mean, 40 years is a long time. Joe Biden's been in office two years longer than I've been alive. Here's the great Fleckus, at Fleckus on social media, who we love. And he's got a video they took in Delaware, basically asking around like, hey, have you seen Joe Biden? Everybody's

like, oh yeah, we see him all the time. That's not really what they said. Check this out. Joe Biden doesn't do nothing here. I'm from. I live on East 28th Street, right across the street from the projects. I have never seen Joe Biden a day in my life, never. To come to Delaware and do anything, it's lies. It's all lies. What is he going? Four years, Donald Trump's been off for four years, cleaning up their mess for over hundreds hundred hundreds of years it's not his fault this is their politicians this is the change donald trump is the change for us right and what they need to know by the way that gentleman happens to be black which is irrelevant to conservatives that don't judge people by the melanin component of their skin but matters a whole lot to liberals where

it's everything now listen because he hasn't seen jo Biden, it's not necessarily a full indictment, to be fair. But interesting that this Delaware resident, again, who happens to be black, remember, that only matters to liberals because that determines everything if you're a liberal. It means nothing if you're a conservative because we care about who you are, not the melanin component of your skin. I know that's hard for liberals. Get your arms around. But that's not the way we think, right?

That matters to them. And it's interesting. This guy, he doesn't seem to have any love for Joe Biden at all. Never seen him, never done a darn thing for Delaware. His words, not mine. Biden's a train wreck. He's an incompetent train wreck who has enriched his family with shady deals with foreign governments who are enemies of the United States.

And then on a point man, the point man for the Obama administration on Ukraine had a prosecutor fired who was investigating the company his son worked for, for these shady deals. He has flip-flop. He has lied. He is a known plagiarist. And worst part of all is all of that stuff's not going to matter because he doesn't even remember any of it because he's losing his cognitive capabilities to even determine where he is every day.

Yet the media continues to cover for him. I saw it last night. Biden got up and knocked it out of the park. No, it was a mess. Just because Biden didn't collapse, thankfully, in the middle of the speech does not make it some kind of transformative moment in the nation's body politic. It was a terrible speech delivered in a terrible, awful tone. He could barely keep up with the prompter. This is an amazing montage. It's worth your time.

This is from our friends at the Media Research Center, Newsbusters, who has, they have really terrific content. This montage on their site's about two minutes. We cut out about 10, 20 seconds for the sake of time for the show. This is a devastating montage of all of Biden's atrocious gaffes, from his racial gaffes to his documented lies. And I want you to listen to

the media afterwards covering every single time Joe Biden has screwed up massively. Check this out. First mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and nice looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man. There is a part of Biden that feels more Reagan-esque that way. You're like, ah, it's grandpa. It's Uncle Joe. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids. Those oh that Joe moments are part of his political charm.

I'm beginning to see why your wife left you. So much of what is appealing about him to a lot of voters is the fact that he's authentic. I got hairy legs. The fact that he doesn't always seem scripted. The kids used to come up and reach in the pool and rub my leg down. You're AR-14. This is not okay. Biden yesterday showed the other side of his humanity, and that is he's a fighter. You're full of s**t. All right, thank you. No, no, shush.

Some people see that as charming, a candidate who's willing to air it out face to face with a guy. This is going to be a net plus for Joe Biden. Ashton Carter, Joe Biden, the vice president, was swearing him in to be defense secretary. He waved his wife over and a little hands-on treatment from the vice president. Everybody knows he's a touchy-feely guy, and he's just very friendly. He is. He was reportedly comforting her after shefeely guy and he's just very friendly. He is. He was reportedly comforting her after she fell on ice. It's bread and love.

Coon said Maggie was not uncomfortable at all. You're gonna put you all back in chains. He's making a historic reference he may not have been right to do, but it certainly wasn't malignant. I'm not even sure it had anything to do with race. Play the radio. Make sure the television, excuse me, make sure you have the record player on at night.

Still, he is a master of the quick recovery. Make sure the kids hear words. These qualities are almost endearing to voters. We choose truth over facts. They find him more believable because he makes missteps every so often. All right, Jack.

Thank you very much. All right. It's Chris, but anyway. I ended that there. That goes on for like 30 more seconds, but I ended it there. By the way, when Joe's doing the touchy-feely,

super creepy thing he does, Paul is sitting there and about watching her. She's like, ugh. It's just gross. It's just gross. It's so uncomfortable. It's just, listen, just a word of advice to Joe.

Just keep your myths to yourself. Just stop touching people. It's weird. Stop sniffing people. Stop sniffing their hair. What are you, a dog? Stop sniffing people. It's weird.

It's creepy. I'm'm sorry it's super creepy stop with the kids and the rubs and it just stop i'm not messing with you paul was like just stop i got more on biden there's a really really good piece out of just the news john solomon's side to be up in my show notes today. Please read it. Bongino.com slash newsletter. If you want to subscribe to the show notes, this is worth your time. Joe Biden's lengthy history of fabrication, plagiarism and racial controversy. Biden, wait, he's a character guy. Decent guy. Uncle Joe, the Scranton kid is like a Scranton kid. dame fighting guy he's a scranton kid he's a liar he's a plagiarist the man has no character he's enriched his family at your

expense using power given to him by voters character ladies and gentlemen i get it the whole respect your elders thing. But you're not supposed to respect your elders when your elders are doing things that are going to destroy the country. The man has shown no evidence of character at all. This Solomon piece, I wrote down some of the things he addresses in the Solomon piece. Remember Biden? I finished at the top of my class in law school. He finished at the bottom of his class.

76 out of 85. Liar. Oh, Dan, that's one thing. Oh, no, there's more. He admitted plagiarizing in law school. Later got caught plagiarizing his speech from Neil Kinnock. A very famous speech, thinking nobody would catch him. He's a noted plagiarist.

Even his website and the campaign plagiarized things on the Green New Deal. He told people he marched in the civil rights movement. He didn't. He told people he was shot at in Iraq. He wasn't. He told people he was arrested in South Africa trying to see Mandela. He wasn't. He's a liar. He's a liar. It's not one little white lie. These are big things. Listen to me. Everybody lies. I wish we didn't, but we're human. We're all sinners. Everybody lies. People lie about things.

Ah, man, I got there five minutes early. Where were you? Meanwhile, you showed up late and the guy missed you, right? Who lies about marching in the civil rights movement? I was there, folks. I was there. Dan Bongino marched in the civil rights movement. No, he didn't.

I wasn't there. That's a big thing to lie about. That's a huge thing. I was shot at in Iraq. You think people who were legitimately shot at in Iraq may get offended that you lied about it? I know I would. I was shot at in Iraq. I was in Afghanistan. I was, legitimately. I wasn't shot at. Running around telling people I was shot at. Who was shot at in Afghanistan. I wasn't. But let me tell you, the people who we were there with,

these brave military men and women, many of them have been shot at. You were arrested trying to see Nelson Mandela. Kind of a big fudge, you know? Way to fudge that one. He wasn't arrested. He stopped at the airport. Yeah, it's called customs or whatever.

You never seen that before? It gets worse with Biden. You seen this real clear article? If you haven't, it's up at the show notes today. Again, budgino.com slash newsletter. It's an older article, but it's worth your time.

Bob Gates, who was Obama's defense secretary, by the way, stands by his statement that Biden has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy question.

May 13, 2019, Tim Haines, Real Clear Politics. Want the exact quote? This was Obama's defense secretary. He'd worked for Republicans too, to be clear. But this is Bob Gates. They ask him, they're questioning him.

They say, hey, he's talking about Biden. He's a man of integrity and capable of hiding what he really thinks. And one of those rare people, you know, could turn for help in a personal crisis. Still, I think he's been wrong in nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades. This is a question. She says, would that be an effective commander in chief?

She's quoting what Bob Gates has said in the past. Gates responds, I don't know, but I think I stand by that statement. He and I agreed on some key issues in the Obama administration. We disagreed significantly on Afghanistan and other issues. I think that the vice president had some issues with the military. So how he'd get along with the senior military and what relationship, I just think it would depend on the personalities at the time. So he agrees with a statement that

Obama's been quote wrong on nearly every major foreign policy issue in the last few decades. This is Obama's guy. Gates. gates folks the apocalypse coming if this guy is elected by a biden i i i'm really i i'm i'm genuinely fearful about what'll happen these are some of the supporters he has by the way this is a video from ashley st claire does some work i believe uh for turning point s with a good video on her Twitter feed. Check this out. This is her at a rally. It's a bunch of Trump supporters. And there's one Biden guy walking by with a sign.

There's a whole boatload. And there's something interesting on the sign. Check this out. This speaks for itself. We're glad you're here. You support rioting? You support people getting burned out of their homes? You support people getting burned out of their homes? You support that he gets married?

Hey, get back in the house! Hey, get back in the house! Hey, get back in the house! Hey, get back in the house! Hey, get back in the house! Hey, get back in the house! So there's hundreds of Trump supporters and one Biden guy who's carrying a sign.

The sign says, Donald Trump, you're fired. Y-O-U-R. Maybe spell check doesn't work for signs. You're the guy, by the way, rewind that, listen to it again. You're the guy who goes, we have a Biden supporter here, has to learn to spell. rewind that listen to it again you hear the guy goes we have a biden supporter here has to learn to spell kind of as you hear and now you'll go back and listen you'll hear it it's kind of funny all right one last thing i'm going to say i'm going to move i got a lot more to talk about but it is a major news event even though it was a disaster and i just want to correct the spin out there the spin you're going to hear today is like oh biden got up and did what he had to do he did

not it was a disaster and i'm saying that as objectively as possible. The speech was a mess. Not every speech Donald Trump gives is great either. Not every speech Obama or Bush or Abraham Lincoln gave was a knockout. Last night was a disaster. One last article, Washington Examiner, but an important one. You know, here's the article I'm talking about. David Drucker, he writes, it's not on David. He's citing other Republicans. Republicans concede. Biden did not look mentally unfit. No, no.

Again, this is just Drucker citing what other Republicans, I don't know why Republicans are doing this. You saw what I saw. He did look mentally unfit. Did you watch the same speech? Listen, I wanted to get Paul on the show today.

I want it seriously. I don't know what you guys think of the idea. You can email us, but I I wanted to get Paula on the show today. Seriously, I don't know what you guys think of the idea. You can email us. But I wanted to pull up a guest seat because she had the best analysis last night. Her analysis was this. She looked at me like, what is going on here? And I'm like, you need to, because I'm obviously a partisan. She's sitting there in the background.

I'm obviously a partisan. I try to be objective, but it's hard. She's not as partisan as I am and can view things from a non-political lens because it's not her life like it is mine. And she looked at me like, this is really awful. I'm like, good, you need to do the show tomorrow. We'll turn the segment over. What do you mean?

We'll do a Paula segment once a week. How would that be great? Sit around. Come on in, Paula. Be great. It was terrible. I'm that be great? Sit around. Come on in, Paul. Be great. It was terrible. I'm really sorry. It was awful.

All right. Moving on to, you know, before we get there, let me get to my second sponsor, but California rapidly descending into North Korea. You ever see those satellite pictures of North Korea where the lights are out at night? They could show you satellite pictures of North Korea and California.

You wouldn't even know the difference if you didn't have a map in front of you. Unbelievable. Folks, today's show brought to you by our friends at SimpliSafe.

When are you going to have enough? I love California. I do. Going out there soon for something. I love California. I like it. I eat at this acai bowl place. I know it's foo-foo and everything, but it's good. As I get older, sadly, I'm losing my edge and I'm into foo-foo stuff now, like acai bowls. Ordinarily, I just eat a bowl of Cheerios, but there's my favorite acai bowl.

I'm not going to tell you where because liberals will burn it down and I don't want them to do that. Tolerant liberals, they'll show up and probably kerosene the whole place. So I'm not allowed to tell you where it is, but it's really good. I like California. There's a lot of conservatives there, but the liberals are in charge monopolistically. They run the whole state.

So now we have rolling blackouts tonight. California is descending into complete madness. Tiana Lowe, Washington Examiner, rolling blackouts, no Uber, businesses flee. California's Democrats dream complete madness. Tiana Lowe, Washington Examiner, rolling blackouts, no Uber, businesses flee. California's Democrats dream for America. Yes. Yes. It is turning into a socialist utopia and a real world hell.

Sadly. Folks, what happened? Well, not only is California turning out the electricity at night you know people need oxygen and things like that people on CPAP machines and otherwise people need refrigeration for their insulin you have no power like you know the third world like Haiti after the earthquake

that's California one of the richest states in the country it would take an idiot to screw up California and that's what you elected, sadly, a lot of idiots. The Democrats, that is. Conservatives didn't elect these dopes. Not only is California

subjected to North Korea-style blackouts, and I'm telling you, let's get one of those satellite photos. You see North Korea that's dark all the time because they have no power?

And let's see California, which is dark too. Parts of it. Well, California decided it'd be a good idea to drive Uber out too. You know that AB5, I told you, Assembly Bill 5? So they don't like Uber, of course, because they're in the pockets of unions.

That's what big government liberal politicians do. They get paid off by unions, so they're in the pockets of unions. They don't like Uber because Uber's not unionized. So what did they do? They passed a bill that said, you know what? You're going to have to classify these Uber drivers as employees. They're not employees.

They're contractors. They're the very definition of contractors. So what happened? AB5 was written in such a broad, awful fashion that they started not only putting Uber out of business, which was forced to close down, but was saved last night by a stay by a judge. Uber was going to shut down this week in California. I don't know if you missed this or not. That's a huge story. They were granted a stay by a judge, but there's a strong potential that by the end of the week or next week, Uber will be gone from California and Lyft too. All you kids that like

Uber and Lyft and found a way to get around on the super cheap, thank your California liberals. and found a way to get around on the super cheap? Thank your California liberals. Socialism, isn't it great? Creating scarcity out of abundance. Socialism every single time. So what happened? The law was written in such a broad fashion in California to attack independent contractors

that the backlash was severe. Eventually, people who write for journalism outlets who weren't full-time employees but would submit articles, they got fired too. Who else got fired? Independent artists, you know, musicians and such. Some of the people who vote for Democrats, where I still can't figure that out. Why? Because they'd show up and in a gig economy, they'd show up at a club and do a gig. They're not an employee of the club. They're not a bartender. They're not do a gig. They're not an employee of the club. They're not a bartender.

They're not a bouncer. They're not a waiter or a server or a runner. They're just a gig that shows up to perform their gig in the gig economy. Well, they got canned too. Who else got canned? A bunch of Uber and lyft drivers again who could not be classified as full-time employees many who happen to be younger working in a gig economy and would happen to vote for democrats look at this piece uh by tiana low quote california's power is not as carbon efficient as clean nuclear energy nor is it as cheap as traditional mass fossil fuels if If you're looking to drink your problems away, though, at a favorite dye bar

because you have no power, of course, well, too bad. Governor Newsom shut the indoor dining rooms, too. This is his socialist utopia they live in. If you want to sit on a patio, you have to seek out the establishments that survived the state shutdown. Soon enough, you might be better off just binging in your basement as the California machine is mobilized to abolish the ride sharing apps that revolutionize the state. So you can't even get away from your home using a ride share app and go visit your friends because there aren't going to be any. I was trying to take a note of some of the special things California has shown us in the United States through their model of socialism and Democrat monopolies. So we have rolling blackouts, shuttered restaurants, evacuating businesses, confiscatory taxes, rampant homelessness, defecation maps in San Francisco, so you can avoid defecation. Not a joke. Wish it was.

Not a joke. Defecation maps. Don't go here. You can avoid the defecation in the streets. And we have revolutionary ride-sharing apps being shut down so you can go back to the old model of getting around. Your two dogs. Feet.

Good luck with that. Hope you're having fun, Libs. Nice job. How do we deal with these idiots? All right, here's kind of an interesting article about the Lib meltdown happening. Washington Examiner. Liberals are melting down because Trump did the greatest troll of all time with the media. What did he do?

He bought the masthead of the Washington Post. Did you see this? Did you catch this one? Washington Examiner. Emotional He bought the masthead of the Washington Post. Did you see this? Did you catch this one? Washington Examiner, emotional breakdowns after Trump ads appear on the Washington Post website. Beckett Adams, Washington Examiner. What happened? This is great.

The Trump team bought an ad on the Washington Post masthead. So when you went to their website, it auto-played. Ladies and gentlemen, liberals won into a tier one full level apocalyptic meltdown. They couldn't take it that they went to their home base, the Washington Post. And when they went there, the masthead was dominated by the Trump campaign and autoplay. Look at some of these tweets. Here's Jeff Jarvis. Here's a blue checkmark. No, Washington Post. No, no, no. How

dare you? Were these pieces of silver worth the price of your soul? And it's a screenshot of the masthead, the masthead with the Trump article. Joe Biden, radical leftist. Here's another one. Anita Zelina, losing her mind. It's way worse when you are not logged in. It opens up to an autoplay full page video interstitial that only has a tiny scroll to Washington Post footer. Genius

move. Nobody trolls the left better than the Trump campaign. Nobody. Genius. All right. Just a little bit of light humor until we get on to some serious stuff. All right. I'm going to get to my third sponsor, but I've got an email I got from a fire department New York City

So I got an email last night from a person in the fire department in New York City,

and it was disturbing. And he said, listen, what's going on here is really, really awful. Again, the reason I'm putting this after the California story is because New York is not far behind California in enacting a socialist utopia and a real-world hell. So Mayor de Blasio, easily the worst mayor in the history of New York City, one of the worst in the history of the country, I might add, has spent the city into absolute bankruptcy. They're running out of money and they're running out of money fast because de Blasio wants a socialist paradise.

He's been spending money on failed social programs, his wife's pet projects. I have an article up on Gino.com. He has spent the taxpayer basis money of New York City into oblivion. And they are, ladies and gentlemen, they are running out of money. They can't print it. There's no New York City currency. There's only federal reserve notes. Whereas the federal government do their federal reserve can print its way out of a disaster and create another disaster as a result. New York City doesn't have that. They don't have the money. There's no money. So this person sent me an email.

And in the email, he said that New York City's threatening mass demotions of fire department officials, the closure of firehouses, the temporary brownout at night of other firehouses, maybe upwards of 20 firehouses closing, and that they're doing it as a worst case scenario to extort the federal government to bail out New York City. Ladies and gentlemen, think about this.

If you live in one of these neighborhoods and there's a fire or a medical emergency and you don't have that firehouse close by and they shut that down, these are literally life and death decisions being made because Bill de Blasio is trying to extort the federal government out of more money. Instead of sitting down with the books, however ugly they may be in New York, and prioritizing and triaging your needs like any business would have to do right now. Government's not a business. That's the problem. Thank you. Sitting down and saying, what do we have and what do we need? de Blasio doesn't want to do it. So they're threatening to shut down emergency services in your neighborhood. No question these are emergency services. That's some joke.

This is the real real deal they're threatening to do it hoping to turn the public against the federal government because de blasio can't manage his money this is really happening right now to the wonderful human being who sent me that email keep me updated because i'm going to follow this story. You'd rather see people die and their houses burned down because you're trying to make a political statement against Donald Trump and you can't manage your taxpayer base. Pretty gross. But again, indicative of where the left is right now. All right. This is the debunking part of the show. Gosh, man, there's so much stuff. I hate Fridays sometimes because I have so much stuff I want to get in. And I just, it's very frustrating. So some of you heard about the story yesterday on the show about Steve Bannon,

former advisor to President Trump, who was arrested on charges, still allegations again, that they defrauded people through this We Build the Wall. Remember that? It was a private entity that did a GoFundMe to raise money to build sections build the wall remember that it was a private entity that did a go fund me to raise money to build sections of the wall your allegations we'll see how it pans out against bannon read the indictment um i've worked fraud cases a lot um it doesn't look good but again leave it to the left to pile on and the left to make up ridiculous, far-fetched, otherworldly conspiracy theories to pile on. So you remember this?

Do you remember, was it a couple months ago? The Southern District of New York, United States attorney. The one who prosecutes is the lead prosecutor for all the cases. That's where Bannon, that's where he's being prosecuted. That is SDNY, the Southern District of New York. Do you remember a couple months ago, the United States attorney there, Berman, was fired, was asked to leave by Bill Barr? Remember he made a big stink about it?

I'm not leaving. And Barr came back and said, oh, you're leaving. Remember that one? So of course, Democrats who love conspiracy theories are trying to connect it to him and say, oh, wait, wait, we got it now. We got it. This is why Berman was fired, Joe Joe because he was looking into Bannon and of course you know liberals who never ever do their homework ever of course started tweeting it out and putting it on

Facebook and elsewhere this is it conspiracy this is after the peepee hoax and the post office hoax which is getting dismantled right now by the way as Louis DeJoy is up in Congress the postmaster general just shredding every dopey democrat conspiracy theory the problem is Berman was right now, by the way, as Louis DeJoy is up in Congress, the Postmaster General, just shredding every dopey Democrat conspiracy theory. The problem is Berman was already asked about this if he was fired

because of any pending case. So you would think the Democrats' conspiracy theory that Berman was fired because they knew Bannon was going to be arrested, that Berman would be the one to say that.

Hey, I think I'm being fired because we're looking at the Trump people. Did he say that? Well, of course he didn't. We have the actual testimony. hat tip the oversight committee who tweeted this out in their account here's what berman actually said when he was canned berman testified the attorney general did not mention any specific witnesses defendants or cases as reasons for why

he was being asked to resign as the u.s attorney here's the question they asked him. Did the attorney general, did the attorney general did not raise any pending cases with you? Did he? Berman, no. Another question. Was there any discussion of any particular witness that was appearing

before the Southern District, whether it was in the Epstein case or anything like that? There was no discussion of any witness. Okay, can we debunk that one? Bed, covers, can we put that baby to

bed? Of course we can't because Democrats don't do facts. But again, as a listener reminded me yesterday, and thank you for the really kind email. She said, Dan, sometimes you have to remind people when you're pointing out all the media malfeasance and the blue check mark, liberal brigades, nonsense, and conspiracy theories. Sometimes you have to remind them about why you're here. And she said in caps at the end, because you can find the truth here. Thank you. I forget that sometimes. I appreciate that. That email meant a lot to me. You're right. Sometimes I do, as I smash these media people's dopey conspiracy theories. I forget to remind you, you're not wasting your time. You can always

find the truth here. So when you hear that silly conspiracy theory out from your liberal friends that they were trying to cover up for Bannon, you can say, really? Because Berman, the guy who was fired, didn't actually say that when they asked him. All right, let me get to my final sponsor and I got a couple more stories.

We're getting to no matter what. I don't look. Was I writing two pages? Sometimes I gotta write them. Today's show is also sponsored by a friend at Helix. Helix, you know I love Helix, ladies and gentlemen, because I sleep on it every single night. Helix Sleep makes personalized mattresses for you

How many convictions and arrests have we had for Russian collusion? Hold on, Joe. Let me think about this. I'm going through this now in my melon.

I know it's tough. I'm going to give you my answer and tell me if you think I'm right about it. It's a big zero. A donut. These are my gripper thingies I do before the show. These are pretty good, by the way. Not a sponsor, by the way, but these are really good. And then they have the gripper thingy like this

where you can like expand your, so you get the backside of your form too. But that's a big donut, a zero. We've had no people arrested for, Joe, do you remember any? I think you'd be right. Just checking. Let me probe that melody of yours.

Okay, I am right. Thank you very much. Just checking. Paul, have we had any? Paul, I'm just going to Paul is shaking your head. No, we have had exactly zero arrests of the Trump team members or anyone associated with Trump at all for collusion. we have had charges levied against people and now we have the first guilty plea of an fbi employee for yes lying about the spying operation on trump lying about an official piece of evidence to spy on trump washington examiner fbi lawyer uh kevin client smith pleads guilty in dorm investigation why do i bring that up because you're not hearing about it anywhere in the media because the media has chosen to sideline the story after three years of relentless promotion of the peepee tape hoax four years now you've heard nothing right no arrests zero for collusion yet we have had arrests

and now guilty pleas for fbi spying on president trump and the manipulation of evidence fascinating isn't it here's another story that's getting sidelined, too, that you haven't heard about. That's pretty darn big. The Daily Caller, Chuck Ross, who's really done some spectacular work. Huge hat tip. I don't know, Chuck, never met him, but his work has really been on Spygate. Incredible. Ex-State Department official destroyed records at the request of Christopher Steeopher steel you heard about this one in the mainstream media right remember this one the other night i'm gonna no you haven't of course you haven't you heard about it here because as that listener reminded me here's where

you get the truth so this just came out recently what a state department official was destroying email quote from chuck ross's piece a former state department official told the senate intel committee he destroyed records in january of 2017 at the request of former british spy christopher steel according to a report released on tuesday really wow that's interesting i'm sure we've heard that everywhere fascinating when he did that can you go back to that clip a minute so jonathan weiner who we know was dealing with clinton surrogates and christopher steel who who put together the PP hoax dossier. Remember him, Steele? That Christopher Steele asked him to destroy records in January of 2017? You would think that would be a big story, no?

A State Department official is dealing with a former British spy working for Team Hillary to put together a dossier we know is fake. The state department official who's working with that former spy working for Hillary was asked by that former spy to destroy records in January of 2017. You would think that would be a huge revelation. No, you haven't heard much about it. I wonder why. Well, what happened in January of, excuse me, go back to that Daily Caller piece again. It's really important. I want to make sure we are absolutely precise on this

because you have to... This is going to spin your wheels big time. January, I think I said July. He destroyed records in January of 2017. Remember that. What happened in January of 2017? That a state department official was asked to destroy records remember that oval office meeting the oval office meeting on january 5th of 2017 in the last days the obama administration where obama is telling the fbi to get the right people to investigate

the trump team where joe biden proposes targeting Flynn for the Logan Act. That was the interview Susan Rice memorialized in that dreaded January 20th email. That ridiculous, absurd email. We're going to do everything by the book email. Remember that? Well, you know what's really interesting? That right after that meeting, appears in january of 2017 that a whole bunch of records seem to disappear including jonathan weiner's

you know who else's records disappeared in january of 2017 right around that time obama's telling the fbi to get the right people to investigate the trump team. Oh, Christopher Steele's too. Isn't this interesting? Here is Christopher Steele's on the record testimony in a United Kingdom court. They ask him about his records. He says, quote, I have no record of it. They ask him, you have no record of anything, have you? I haven't gotten any records

relating to the creation of 112. He's talking about report 112. They say, well, what about any other men, Miranda? No, they were wiped in early January 2017. So no one in the media finds it even a little bit odd that Obama has this infamous January 5th, 2017 meeting that Susan Rice feels the need to write a CYA email about later. In that meeting with Comey, the intel officials, Sally Yates, and others, where Obama says get the right people to investigate Trump.

After that meeting, records start getting destroyed at the State Department, Christopher Steele, and elsewhere, and nobody in the media finds this story even remotely interesting. I bring that up in light of the Washington Examiner story about the FBI lawyer who is now pled guilty for manipulating evidence in the case because I think the FBI lawyer is just a small piece of a huge evidence destruction and manipulation scheme. We haven't even scratched the surface on yet. But again, you'll hear none of that in the mainstream media. If you're not watching this show, you missed the story entirely.

Mainstream media, right over their heads intentionally every single time. We're doing good here. We're doing good. All right. You're home for the truth, right? Right here. I promise you that. You have my pledge. Folks, if the coronavirus, switching gears here, if the coronavirus starts to become a significant, significant danger to your kid, or your kid becomes a significant danger to you as some

kind of a super spreader, bring it home. I promise you'll hear it here first. I have no agenda. I'm not looking to get teachers hurt, school administrators, janitors, principals. I'm not looking to get kids hurt. I have no political point here whatsoever. I want the kids in school. I want the kids in school if it's safe. But ladies and gentlemen,

you are being subjected to a 24-hour hype machine to keep your kids out of school for one reason and one reason only. The teachers unions are screwing you over because they want more money. They don't give a damn about health, ladies and gentlemen. Not knocking the teachers. I'm knocking the unions.

Great article in yesterday's show notes. I'll cover it today because we're a day behind these stories with this one. We were loaded yesterday. Reason Magazine by the great Corey DeAngelis. School reopenings linked to union influence in politics, not safety. So Corey did a pretty exhaustive analysis here of where schools were opening for in-person instruction

and where they weren't. And they found an awfully strong correlation between you would think, right, if it's doing, let's rewind the tape a little bit. You would think if you're believing the teachers' unions, right? Joe, the teachers' union statement is, we're not opening the schools because it's all about safety and health and local outbreaks and all that stuff.

So you would think if that's correct, a fair analysis would be, well, where there's a significant outbreak of coronavirus, you would see more school closings. And when there's not a significant outbreak, you would see more schools closings. Yeah. And when there's not a significant outbreak, you would see more schools reopening. Just simple correlation, right? Yeah, we're cool. It's about safety.

Yeah. Big outbreak, schools close. Yeah. Not a big outbreak, schools open. That correlation doesn't exist at all. No. But there is a correlation that does exist. It's between school closings

and the strength of the teachers union in that area weird crazy how that happens and oddly enough even when you control for the outbreak and the level of infection i thought you didn't know now you got the score here it is quote from the paul is like i don't have a screenshot now we got a screenshot genius over there here from the piece in theory school districts in unionized states could be more likely to go fully online this fall simply because they might be in areas with more covid cases and risk yeah it makes sense in theory right but but the data generally do not support that theory the relationship between unionization and reopening decisions remains

substantively and statistically significant even after controlling for school district size and coronavirus deaths per capita in the county. In other words, ladies and gentlemen, if you have a strong teachers union, your schools ain't opening up. It doesn't have a darn thing to do with coronavirus. Safety. It's all about safety. Kids are super spreaders not true now the teachers unions have engaged in the worst pr strategy in the history of humankind look at this bright part

article as well so somehow teachers in arizona thought it would be a good idea to go on strike go on strike i'd like to see that if farmers and food workers did that too we'd all starve to that but because the teachers union said it's okay we're supposed to just say everyone else has to take a risk, but no, not you. Even though the risk is substantially lower when you're around kids. Arizona teachers stage a sick out, forcing the school districts to cancel reopening. This is really great. Teachers unions, you guys are really knocking it out of the park in your PR strategy. This is a great idea. Let's piss off 51% of the country. Nice work. Now you may say, oh, come on, Dan. No one's really going to hold it against the teachers'

unions. Well, you'd be wrong. PJ Media has a really good piece on this. Teachers' unions falling out of favor with Americans. Is it any wonder? Stacey Lennox, PJ Media. Teachers' units approval ratings have dropped dramatically since they started this trend. They're down in the 30% range now. Whoa. Nice job. You're going to be down there with the media soon. Again, not a knock on teachers, but maybe it's time to pick new leadership. Now, what have I told you repeatedly? Because we do science here.

This is your home for the truth. I've told you that the evidence, the science, which can change. Science is a series of testable hypotheses. Some of them change. Sometimes new information changes what you can test and what your hypothesis is. But the evidence to this point has been that kids are at very low risk for a severe, Evidence to this point has been that kids are at very low risk for a severe, severe outbreak of symptoms if they're infected with coronavirus. And they are at very low risk of spreading it. As if on cue, Joe, as schools start opening, we get this report and it's from Harvard. Harvard.

Oh, my gosh. Kids are going to be mega super spreaders again. This was the media pitch. Here's the actual study. And here's the headline from the Harvard Gazette. Children's role in the spread of virus bigger than thought. Oh, no. Everything we told you on this show was wrong.

Here we go again. Sub headline. Study found extremely high levels of SARS-CoV-2 in children's airways. This thing was everywhere. Because again, the media does hysteria, not the truth. You read the study. It's a Harvard Gazette's covering. It's a Massachusetts General Hospital study associated with Harvard.

This has got to be real, right? Dan's been lying to us the whole time. No, it's a real study. Let's see what the study actually said. In a study of 192 children ages 0 to 22? Can you come back? Joe, how old is little Joe? i think he's 22 now yeah 20 do you consider him your young child he's a marine he's a marine he's leatherneck i'm pretty yeah i'm reasonably he was a man four years

ago oh my gosh my daughter's 16 she's not my young child okay oh my gosh i can't take it this stupid i'm sorry i don't mean to move away from the mic but i'm literally like my eyes are getting red if you're watching on the youtube because this is like the comedy hour of stupid you're studying children 0 to 22 maybe you want to like lock that down to like zero to eight or so. You think kids who are zero and adults who are 22 might be a little different? Just a tad bit. Well, what else was in the report that the media is hyping up?

Kids are super spreaders. Massive viral loads are going to kill us all. Shut the schools down. Give the teachers unions more money. What else was in the report? By the way, big hat tip to Phil Kirpin on Twitter, who's been following this better than anyone in the business. This is where I got this from.

Quote from that report. Transmissibility was not assessed in this study. Oh, it wasn't? Huh? That's not what I heard from the media. I heard that kids are super spreaders now. We all got to panic. Hunker down, Joe.

Hide in your room under the blankets. Wear a full face mask with a plastic thing over your face and a full biocontamination suit. We're ready, Dan. We're ready. Don't leave your house no matter what. Get a full respirator and a full biocontamination suit we're ready dan we're ready don't leave your house no matter get a full respirator and a gas mask uh let me read that again transmissibility was not assessed in this study for liberals listening that means they weren't studying how you can transmit it just the viral loads in the 22 year old kids another part of the study

in order to make it seem again that the viral load in children was substantially higher than it is in adults that was their conclusion what did they study they studied children air zero to 22. They studied them on infection day zero to infection day two and compared them to adults at day seven plus. Well, why would you do that? that to get a hysterical headline about the viral load of children being substantially higher than adults of course it is they're at the beginning stages of an infection zero to two while the adults you studied were at seven plus when they're beating the thing down i'm just asking why why why'd you do why'd you do that maybe to create a hysterical headline again that children's viral load they're super spreaders. They are because that's not exactly what you studied.

Transmissibility was not assessed in this study on these 22-year-old children, the preschool 22-year-olds. Now, you may say, because again, the media is hyping this thing. You can't send the kids back to school. Super spreaders. 22-year-old preschoolers are spreading this thing everywhere. Stop the insanity now. Shut the schools down. Give us more money.

You may say, gosh, at least they did this study on millions of kids who went back to school, right? How many kids exactly did they test that were asymptomatic but had a high viral load and tested positive for coronavirus millions hundred thousand ten thousand all right five hundred that's a decent sample size right three three what dan three thousand no,000? No, three. Like one, two, three. Three. There were three kids who were asymptomatically positive. Three. So just to be clear, because you'll hear about the Massachusetts General State.

You'll hear about super spreaders, 22-year-old preschoolers are killing everyone. They were not kids. Many of them were 22-year-olds. They didn't study transmission or how infectious it was. They studied viral loads, and they compared it to adults who were already getting over the virus. And they found exactly three kids to study. Now, if you know anything about basic statistics, which most liberals don't, and media people definitely,

I mean, that's why they're in the media, because they're not smart. I mean, you know, they'd have a real job otherwise. You'd go and find a real study, a real study of like millions or hundreds of thousands or even thousands. You may say, you're going to go find one. Isn't there one? Yes, there already is one, the Sweden study. That's right. But this came to a non-favorite narrative conclusion, so you have to hide this one. Here's the great Paula who found this study for us. Residential context and COVID-19 mortality amongst the elderly in Stockholm, a population-based observational study of, what is that, 1.8 million people?

And they came to the conclusion that, quote, we found no additional impact of co-residing with children. Even though Swedish schools have remained open for children below age 16 throughout the pandemic, the result does not support hypotheses of children as a major transmitter of SARS-CoV-2. Come here for the truth. Watch the media and you'll be under the mistaken belief that your children your 22 year old preschoolers are coming home with massive viral loads compared to people already over the disease largely and you'll believe they're sneezing and killing everyone in your house none of that's actually true of course but it made for a cute narrative

now you see why during yesterday's show we covered that tucker watch yesterday's show we covered tucker carlson's monologue where he talked about how if you live in a area uh populated by liberals and watch liberal media like cnn and msnbc and you read the washington post and new york times you live in a universe that doesn't exist, where 22-year-old preschoolers are killing everyone and bringing home viruses from preschool, sneezing all over everyone, and everyone's dying. That world doesn't exist, but you live in it, and that's why you know nothing, and you're proud of it. The Mass General Study.

You mean the one that didn't study transmission? Yeah, that one. Infection, transmission. You realize you read the report, right? No, of course you didn't. You mean the one that didn't study transmission? Yeah, that one. Infection, transmission. You realize you read the report, right? No, of course you didn't. You're in the media. You don't actually read.

All right, one last story. Only I could wrap up, but I'm going to get through this. This Washington Examiner story was a good one. It's in yesterday's show notes. We're just going to cover it quick, but it's a good story on a Friday. It was in yesterday's show notes by Michael Barone. Blue and red America differences could hurt Democrats. He makes a great point here. I'm just summing up this way on a Friday after a great week of listenership from you. You ever see that shirt? It's a joke. When I was at Six Flags Great Adventure once in New Jersey,

when I was a kid, I saw this shirt and I left my butt off. It's a joke, but the beatings will continue until morale improves. The beatings will continue until morale improves. I thought that shirt was hilarious. It took me a minute to get it. I was young when I saw it. And I was like, that doesn't make sense. I didn't get it. It was a joke. The point of Michael's article is a good one. He goes through a bunch of things. I'm just going to quickly just zip through a few of them here, but how Democrats are willing to destroy their own population of voting liberals who vote them in, all to make a point known Trump. He makes a point how they're willing to emulate the New York strategy, coronavirus, although more people have died in New York per million than just about any red state in the country.

How they're celebrating the response in these liberal states to mostly peaceful, Joe, protests despite these mostly peaceful protests result in beatings, killings, mass burnings of buildings, looting on a mass scale. They're celebrating it because they don't want to admit they screwed up. So they'll rather have you subjected to a coronavirus plan that gets you sick and have your businesses burned down and be

beat to snot than admit they're wrong because they want to own Trump. They want to keep up with the lockdowns. Why? Because Trump's against them. So they'll lock you down and bankrupt you. They want to follow the teachers unions off the abyss,

destroying the educational opportunities of millions of minority, Hispanic, white, Asian students, young women and men, lives destroyed because the teachers unions told us so. But we got Trump, didn't we we're gonna lock it down 22 year old preschoolers super spreaders keep them out of our schools and the last one in the piece he mentions which he's right they will even shun potentially life-saving medications and treatments all because trump said they may work.

You want to kill yourself and eliminate a potential treatment because Trump said it may work? Do you realize what kind of sociopath you must be to do that? Nuts. Read that piece. It's a really good one. All right, folks.
