I've got some video that emerged yesterday. What in Hades is going on with Dan Crenshaw, Republican congressman from Texas? I just don't get it. A lot of false prophets out there, folks, and I'm really getting disappointed. He was very nice to my, took a nice picture with my daughter. We were in the Fox Green Room like three, four years ago. A nice enough guy.
Starting point is 00:01:33 You know, obviously, some service to the country that's worth acknowledging. Some impressive service to the country. But that doesn't absolve you of doing the right thing. And I'll get to that later. I think it's going to disappoint you a little bit, but it's worth talking about. If you're in the market for a rifle, shotgun, or revolver, you want to go with the best in the business.

We do have to acknowledge the patriots who gave their lives at Pearl Harbor, one of the

We will never forget December 7th, 1941, all of those patri and women and their families. We will never forget December 7, 1941, all of those patriots who gave their lives to advance the principles of freedom and liberty and defeat Nazism and fascism around the world. We thank you for your service. December 7, a day that will live in infamy, as was said. Okay, getting back to the story I initially opened the show with. merrick garland i'm not kidding is an existential threat to liberty and freedom the man is the problem he has uh in contrast to eric holder who was the worst attorney general in u.s history prior to merrick garland
Starting point is 00:03:37 and merrick garland's only been in office for less than a year is is holder at one holder seemed at least mildly politically concerned with what would happen at least within the Democrat Party Garland is a weak pathetic loser this guy is a loser I had Jim Jordan on my show radio show last week as a guest and he told me they are now looking into Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice and that school board letter scandal, the National School Boards Association. Remember the letter they sent to the Department of Justice demanding parents be investigated like domestic terrorists for showing up at school boards and complaining about CRT. Jordan's team has evidence that the school board letter may have been the new dossier. In other words, Garland's Department of Justice had already committed to investigating parents
Starting point is 00:04:28 as domestic terrorists and weaponizing their law enforcement abilities, and they just needed the school board to provide the letter to give this thing a facade and a patina of credibility. That is an incredibly serious story I will stay on. But Garland has been all over the scandal sphere from the moment this guy got novice.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Here's the latest breach right here. Merrick Garland, this disgusting, weak, pathetic, useful idiot, weaponizing his power and weaponizing the race argument to now help more Democrats get elected to Congress. Watch this video, which is quick. There's a little teaser here. This is Merrick Garland now suing the state of Texas, weaponizing the DOJ, claiming he doesn't like their congressional map because it may favor Republicans.
Starting point is 00:05:10 So Merrick Garland's now a full-time political activist. He's running a PAC, DOJ PAC, the DOJ Political Action Committee. He's basically donating in kind to Democrats right here. Check out this video. Here's Garland. Today, the Justice Department has filed suit against the state of Texas for violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. As the Supreme Court has observed, a core principle of our democracy is that, quote,
Starting point is 00:05:35 voters should choose the representatives, not the other way around, close quote. Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act requires that state voting laws, including laws that draw electoral maps, provide eligible voters with an equal opportunity to participate in the democratic process and elect representatives of their choosing. The complaint we filed today alleges that Texas has violated section two by creating redistricting plans that deny or abridge the rights of Latino and black voters to vote on account of their race, color, or membership in a language minority group. This guy is the single most corrupt attorney general. This weak, pathetic, grotesquety, this useful idiot in the attorney general's office doesn't even care anymore about
Starting point is 00:06:27 the political ramifications of appearing to be a political hack. Thank the Lord this loser is not on the Supreme Court. My gosh, I'm no McConnell guy, but that may be the greatest move Mitch McConnell ever made, blocking this corrupt, useful idiot from the Supreme Court. Notice what he does there. He uses a fake discrimination argument to sue the state of Texas because he doesn't like Texas's congressional map. But notice who's not in that lawsuit.
Starting point is 00:07:01 All of the blue states who have gerrymandered their states to death and joe's saying yes because joe lives in maryland and joe knows where i'm going with this so for those of you who are notice who's not in the lawsuit he sues one of the biggest republican state out there texas he sues them over their map but he doesn't sue sue Maryland, where I ran for office. Put up the picture of Maryland, if you don't mind. This is from Maryland Matters. Here's Maryland's congressional map, folks. They call District 3 in Maryland. If you can even find it on this map, if you want to look at it, go to rumble.com slash Bongino.
Starting point is 00:07:37 They call District 3 in Maryland, which Joe knows well. They call it the salamander. Now, if you can even find the contiguous nature of District 3 in Maryland, good luck. Now, they carved Maryland up to death. You know how I know this? Because I ran. You see that Western Maryland district, the 6th? That used to be a blood red district.
Starting point is 00:07:58 It was contiguous. It covered the Western Maryland, the Western and the mountains out there, all the way over to Carroll County. Well, what did they do? They cut it south into occupied Montgomery County, which is like communist to make sure they got rid of that Western Maryland seat. They're trying to do the same thing in district one on the Eastern shore right now to get rid of Andy Harris, the only Republican member of Congress in the state of Maryland, which has a seven one delegation. But notice, notice that's not in the lawsuit.
Starting point is 00:08:26 Why? Because Merrick Garland is a pathetic political activist fraud who's running DOJ PAC. Don't ever forget that. DOJ PAC, the Department of Justice Political Action Committee, is being run by now by this grotesquety in the White House who targeted parents with his DOJ, may have known about it in advance,
Starting point is 00:08:47 may have used the National School Board letter as a dossier and a pretext, and is now trying to sue the state of Texas to make sure that Democrats have a chance at holding Congress in the 2022 midterms. The man is disgusting. I can't say enough negative things about this grotesque human being, this weak, pathetic human being.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Oh, Dan, you're mad at Merrick Garland. Yeah, yeah, I am. The attorney general is supposed to be a nonpartisan actor working on behalf of law enforcement interests for the citizens of the United States. He's not supposed to be a two-bit hack political action committee, a chairman running an activism operation for the Democrat party. It is, it does show how desperate they are. You're right. Because they know how, how, how vapid their entire movement is. Keep your eye on this guy, folks. It is going to get worse as the Biden administration goes down and down and down in credibility. This man is the useful idiot right now. This weak, sniveling, pathetic, you hear him up on Capitol Hill, the pathetic. Speak up, chump. Probably be knocking at my door next. Don't care. Double-barreled, family-friendly, middle-finger loser.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Now, Garland notices doing nothing about the explosive revelations in Miranda Devine's new book, Laptop from Hell, about Hunter Biden. Doing nothing about that, the DOJ and the Attorney General, because Merrick Garland is not a serious human being. He's a useful idiot. He is there as a protection racket insulating the corrupt Biden family from the explosive allegations in this book that Hunter Biden had extensive business ties to foreign enemies of the United States and that his dad, Joe Biden, the sitting president right now, was involved.
Starting point is 00:10:41 So finally, an act of journalism yesterday from the terrific New York Post, they were in the press room yesterday. Well, a colleague, I should say, Miranda Devine was in the press room and asked Peppermint Patty Psaki about the explosive revelations about Hunter Biden's corrupt foreign business dealings with his dad overseas. Watch Psaki. She didn't like this question. And she says something interesting here she says well Hunter Biden's not a government employee oh really Don Jr. wasn't a government employee either and I don't recall Don Jr. being left alone by the press because Don Jr. wasn't a government employee kind of weird how that's now the new criteria despite the fact that whether he was a government
Starting point is 00:11:22 employee or not Hunter Biden's irrelevant because his dad had intermingled his own business interests, including a checking account. Here, you doubt me? Watch Peppermint lose her mind because she doesn't get an ass-kissing question from her usually acolytic crowd there in the press room. Check this out. My colleague Miranda Devine has a new book out called The Laptop from Hell, and I was hoping that you could confirm that the laptop is indeed authentic and not Russian disinformation, as you seem to suggest on Twitter last year.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Well, on the first, the president's son is not an employee of the federal government. So I'd point you to his representatives. And as it relates to the book, I have neither had the time nor interest in exploring or reading the book. Go ahead, Tina. Go ahead, Tina. I think I answered your question. Go ahead. You can go to the representative of the person
Starting point is 00:12:12 who's not an employee of the federal government. Go ahead, Tina. I think we have to move on. Go ahead. Now do you understand why upwards of between 70% to 90% of conservatives and Trump supporters completely gaffe off, you know, the media. Where's the rest of the media asking these questions? When Don Jr., who was not a
Starting point is 00:12:30 government employee either, when his father, Donald Trump Sr., was president United States, Don Jr. became a daily target of investigations and media inquiries. So did other members of the family, some who were, some who weren't members of the White House staff. But now all of a sudden there's a new criteria and the media is not interested at all. Well, Hunter's not a government employee, despite the fact that their business interests were intermingled. These people are total phonies, folks, fakes and frauds. And what's Merrick Garland doing about it? The answer is Merrick Garland's doing jack squat because Merrick Garland is too busy
Starting point is 00:13:02 running DOJ PAC, trying to get more congressmen from the Democrat party elected in the great state of Texas. Cause that's who he is. He is a useful idiot. Useful to the socialist propagandists on the left. Yeah. Don was a, he was a punch in bag,
Starting point is 00:13:19 Dan. Oh, every day up on Capitol Hill. I can't say this enough, though. Thank you. I am not a huge McConnell guy. That's obvious. But thank you for keeping Garland, this grotesquety, off the Supreme Court where we'd have to deal with this idiot for the rest of his life.
Starting point is 00:13:39 All right. Speaking of idiots, unintentional segue there. Did you see DeBalsio yesterday? I covered it on my radio show. News broke after the show. The mayor of New York, communist mayor Bill de Blasio. He is just days from leaving office. He was not eligible to run for re-election.
Starting point is 00:13:57 So Eric Adams is now the mayor-elect. We'll be taking over in, what is it, three days, two days, a couple days from now. So before he leaves office uh de balzio thought it would be a good idea to institute a vaccine mandate citywide for the private sector which will not stand in court will get blown out of court but de balzio couldn't leave without burning the city to the ground this is the nero of our time so he gives a goofy uncomfortable speech yesterday the background noise is part of his video. It's not ours. Joe did the best he could.
Starting point is 00:14:26 But this is kind of like what meant to be one of those like candid moments. Look, it's Bill de Blasio walking around the street talking about the vaccine. I know it's de Blasio. It's de Blasio on this show. So you'll hear a little bit of background noise. But here's de Blasio saying, hey, man, this is all about just making people safe, making people safe. Really?
Starting point is 00:14:44 That's fascinating because he didn't really seem to care about making people safe with his lockdowns and everything else. Well, none of that stuff worked and he did it again. Check out the balls of you. Omicron's here. Winter's coming. We got to go even farther. Today in New York City, we announced a mandate. All private sector employers must have their employees vaccinated by December 27th. This is what's going to keep us safe. This is the kind of thing we need to do now, not just here, but everywhere, so we can leave COVID behind once and for all. Now, folks, I want to dispel a few myths about this,
Starting point is 00:15:11 because I follow intensely. It's my job. Preparation for the show is my job. Your job is your job. My job is mine. I'm here to make your life and analyzing the current political climate easier. You all have, I have an easy job. I talk for a living. You all are the engineers, the pilots, the carpenters, the electricians, the cops, the military folks. Those are real jobs. Okay. My
Starting point is 00:15:34 job's easy. I don't put myself in your class. All right. I don't, I mean it. I'm not trying to be silly, but I mean it. You all do all the hard work. My job is to cut through the BS. But one of the things I do is I analyze a lot of these political trends by following some key accounts on social media. And one of the things I noticed is there's this narrative building that, oh, you know, de Blasio is going out the door and he's just trying to burn the city to the ground. Yes, de Blasio has burned the city to the ground. We already get that.
Starting point is 00:15:59 But that's not why he did this. I want to be crystal clear you understand this. Because a lot of people are like, well, my gosh, this vaccine mandate in New York City is going to be crystal clear you understand this because a lot of people like well my gosh this vaccine mandate new york city is going to be grossly unpopular no um ladies and gentlemen no it isn't that's the point de blasio wants to run for governor of new york state which is laughable on its face because he has no chance of getting votes northwest and east of the city at all. He's hated out. He's even hated in New York City.
Starting point is 00:16:29 The man has no chance at all. He'll get as many votes as he got for president, which is precisely zero. But de Blasio did this vaccine mandate precisely because it is popular. I know that's not what people want to hear. They want to hear, oh, there's going to be a mass outcry against this. Folks, there isn't. There's going to be a substantial number of liberty-loving patriots in New York City and New York State, and there are a lot of them.
Starting point is 00:16:56 I grew up in New York. Believe me, there are a lot of them who are going to be upset. But I promise you it is not going to be the majority in New York City. Folks, the people in New York City, large majorities of them, are leftist nuts. They want this. They love the tyranny. They love the lockdowns. They love the mandates.
Starting point is 00:17:15 These are the same kids waltzing their five-year-olds in, begging them to get vaccinated. This is not unpopular. Don't buy the hype. Oh, he's burning it down. He's not burning anything down. What he's doing is burnishing his political credentials by kissing the left wing's ass in an attempt to get the nomination for the Democrat Party for the governorship. This is popular with them. They love the tyranny.
Starting point is 00:17:41 I don't want you to be under any illusions otherwise. And why do I bring it up? I don't bring it up just to rip on the left. I bring it up. I don't talk about stories if I don't feel like I have some color to add to it. Because I'm telling you, if you live in New York City, folks, nothing is going to change. You have to move. I'm sorry to give you the bad news.
Starting point is 00:18:01 I get these emails all the time. I want to move. But folks, there's no butts anymore. No butts. You got to go. Nothing is going to change. de Blasio did this vaccine mandate because people want it in New York. You are surrounded by little mini tyrants. You've got to go. Don't believe this. He's doing it to burn to see he's doing it because it's popular. That's the takeaway. Get away from these people as soon as you can move to places that respect your freedom and liberty and reinforce them.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Liberals don't come down here. Florida's closed. Conservatives, libertarians, Republicans, please. You're welcome. Get away from these people this is not a mistake de blasio did not do it out of a sense of vengeance believe me he's too calculating for that don't fall remember the bongino rule give it 24 to 72 hours before you analyze these situations the first take the hot takes are typically wrong. Okay. Let me get to my second sponsor.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Metrolinx and Crosslinks are reminding everyone to be careful as Eglinton Crosstown LRT train testing is in progress. Please be alert as trains can pass at any time on the tracks. Remember to follow all traffic signals. be careful along our tracks, and only make left turns where it's safe to do so. Be alert, be aware, and stay safe. When doctors, clinicians, and government officials collaborate with our country's innovative pharmaceutical companies, the side effects include improved policies that speed up the delivery of medications to those in need and better overall health for all Canadians. All right, so back to the show. So Axios, which is becoming just a sad parody now of a new site.
Starting point is 00:19:57 They started out okay, and now we're just falling into the typical company line. You know, I heard something once, and it's true. I hear these things that stick with me forever. You know, one of them was that there are two kinds of people who see the world differently, the super rich and the super political. And you know what? As I got involved in politics and made a little money myself,
Starting point is 00:20:14 yes, they're absolutely right. Super political people see everything differently because it's like their eyes are open to what happens right in front of their eyes. I think of that Dirty Dancing movie. When you start to see the bias in Hollywood and you see the waiter, Robbie, who's like the real turd burglar in the movies,
Starting point is 00:20:30 total loser. And he comes up and he's like, read in Reen Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, like trying to, the writer trying to shake it and whole abortion thing in there, right? You start to see messaging everywhere. The super rich see everything different too. They see everything different
Starting point is 00:20:43 because they don't have want for anything. Whatever they want, they can just buy. We don't have that, regular folks like us, right? One other thing I was told is an organization that doesn't start out as explicitly conservative and right-leaning will always go farther and farther left. Axios is a perfect example of that. Axios has been going into the leftist nut domain for a long time now. Here is a ridiculous article. The article is about Rumble.
Starting point is 00:21:12 As you know, I'm an investor in Rumble. They just won public in conjunction with CFVI and talking about it on the show. This apparently troubles Axios, which headlines that the right wing is building its own echo chamber. Echo chamber. That's freaking hilarious. Echo chamber. Keep it, but this is Axios. Axios, who now has their lot in with CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, the LA Times, Chicago Trib, New York Daily News,
Starting point is 00:21:48 all of these left-wing nut papers that in their own real echo chamber got America to believe a pee-pee tape was real, Hunter Biden's laptop was fake. They got America to believe that through an echo chamber of stupid and Axios is worried about Rumble and Trump's new social media platform, Truth Social, which is launching soon. He's worried that that's going to create an echo chamber. That's freaking hilarious, especially considering the fact that Rumble is, oh, it's a free speech platform.
Starting point is 00:22:19 It's not a right-wing platform. You want to be a liberal post on Rumble? Go right ahead. Unlike you frauds at Axios and hypocrites, we're not echoing anything. It's not a right-wing platform. You want to be a liberal post on Rumble? Go right ahead. Unlike you frauds and Axios and hypocrites, we're not echoing anything. We are echoing one thing. I take that back.
Starting point is 00:22:37 We're echoing foundational principles of the constitutional republic and an allegiance to free speech, and I know that bothers you. You understand why Axios, these left-wing nuts are so threatened by rumble true social parlor getter all these platforms you understand why that is it is a threat to their messaging echo chamber philosophy so what do they do they blame you for what they're doing oh the right's creating an echo chamber, we're creating a non-echo chamber. Get out of the echo chamber on the left, you idiots.
Starting point is 00:23:07 A little bitter day, folks. Sorry, stories kind of got me a little bit annoyed. Yeah. I know. I mean, I don't mean to, but it's just so frustrating how, it's so obvious what's happening. The left is built.
Starting point is 00:23:22 A monopoly on left-wing hardcore hard left messaging they're so offended that free speech platforms out there have broken the monopoly that they go on attack mode and then they pretend that they're doing something benevolent oh we're trying to prevent a right-wing echo chamber you know what again double-barreled folks serious double barrel all right moving on speaking of another person I'm a little annoyed with today. So I'm not actually in a good mood, I promise. I'm not like, Dad, you're in a salty mood. No, I'm really not.
Starting point is 00:23:51 I'm in a really good mood. I slept okay for the first time last night. The Rona has finally like fully passed through me. Now the cough has even dissipated a bit. I only cough now when I laugh. By the way, if you get that Rona cough, it's a real pain in the butt. It like keeps you up. It lasts days after you're contagious.
Starting point is 00:24:08 But a guy who really annoyed me this morning is this Congressman Crenshaw. He's obviously a Republican from Texas. You've probably seen him on the news, which is ironic with Crenshaw because he does these flashy, splashy ads for these candidates that look like movies and stuff. And yet he's calling other people performers. Now, listen, with due respect to the man's service to the country, and I sincerely mean that, that does not absolve you of making the right decisions going forward. People serve the country honorably and then can go on and make a series of bad decisions
Starting point is 00:24:40 later, i.e. Bob Mueller and others. I'm not comparing Crenshaw to Mueller. I'm simply suggesting that your prior service does not mean for the rest of your life you're bound to make the right decisions. People get corrupted. Unfortunately, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. But folks, this is an equal opportunity show here. We pride ourselves on sticking to a set of foundational principles. And what is going on with Crenshaw? I just don't understand it. So this was some video
Starting point is 00:25:05 taken at an event he did with uh a congressional candidate uh latrell uh he did this event and he gets uh he gets the video someone videos and he's given this speech and he starts talking about and bashing for some bizarre reason the freedom caucus members of congress who are by far the most have the highest degree of allegiance to foundational constitutional principles and he gives a pass i'm not kidding you'll hear it yourself to adam kinzinger and then he just like makes it up that kinzinger somehow is some kind of like bedrock Republican legislator. Clint Kinzinger, the guy who voted for the Trump impeachment, the loser who spends his entire day attacking Republicans.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Here, listen to Crenshaw. And I ask again, what in Hades is going on with this guy talking about the performers versus the legislators? Check this out. I've been in Congress for almost three years now. There's two types of members of Congress for almost three years now. There's two types of members of Congress. There's performance artists, there's legislators.
Starting point is 00:26:11 Now the performance artists are the ones that get all the attention. The ones you think are more conservative, cuz they know how to say slogans real well. They know how to recite the lines that they know that our voters wanna hear. Let me tell you guys something. They know how to recite the lines that they know that our voters want to hear. Let me tell you guys something. In the first two years of Trump's presidency, when Republicans were in control, when every single time we were voting on Donald Trump's agenda,
Starting point is 00:26:40 who do you think was at the top of that list voting with Trump, and who do you think was at the bottom? A lot of names you would recognize were at the bottom of that list. A lot of names you would recognize are at the top of that list. Number two is probably going to make you cringe a little bit. It's Adam Kinzinger. Voted with Trump almost 99%. He was number two. And then who's at the bottom? Everybody in the Freedom Caucus.
Starting point is 00:27:01 All of them. What you hear so often is not true. It's not true. We have grifters in our midst. Not here, not like in this room. That's not what I mean. I mean in the conservative movement. Lie after lie after lie because they know something psychologically about the conservative part.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Or worry about what people are going to do to us, what they're going to infringe upon us. He just brought up a good point. I mean, he's like, I used to like this guy. So yeah, me too.
Starting point is 00:27:34 I always default to liking a guy who's given so much for the country on the battlefield. But I did tell Guy day one, he's been here a while now. As long as Joe, Joe is the, the, uh, Joe's the godfather of the operation. Then the cop as well., Guy's been here a while now. Not as long as Joe. Joe is the godfather of the operation. Then the capo as well.
Starting point is 00:27:49 But Guy's been here a while now. And Guy said to me, he said we were watching a video together. It plays during the show, most of them. And Guy said to me, Joe, he goes, you know, I remember one of the first days I was here, you warned me about this guy. I did. I did. Because I'm telling you, I'm tired of the all hat, no cattle, false profits.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Nothing Crenshaw said there is true. Nothing. Adam Kinzinger is some bedrock conservative legislator. So I went to the gold standard. Hear me out on this. If you want to check the conservative bona fides of your legislator in Congress or the Senate, disclosure, I used to work there, but I have no financial arrangement with them whatsoever anymore. Joe remembers well. We swear Joe did some work there too. Conservative Review has a thing called the Liberty Score. The Liberty Score.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Remember it. Conservative Review's Liberty Score. The Liberty Score, remember it. Conservative Review's Liberty Score. If you ever want to see if your congressman is a real patriot or a performer and a loser, just go to Liberty Score, Conservative Review, and just look them up.
Starting point is 00:28:58 So I did just that because Dan Crenshaw says Kinzinger is some like, what, bedrock legislator we should be looking up to? His Liberty score out of 1 to 100 was an astounding 45%. 45. Joe, now, you and I went to school in different eras, but was 45% ever passing when you went to school? No, Dan, it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:29:21 No, it wasn't. Okay, thank you. I'm reasonably confident, even with the milking down now of educational standards, 45% is still failing. And you'll see Adam Kinzinger, there's a screenshot on now if you're watching on Rumble, got an F, an F, on the gold standard of congressional scoring,
Starting point is 00:29:39 conservative reviews, liberty score. So Crenshaw said something else. He said, and those freedom caucus members, you know, the freedom caucus, the Republicans who actually believe in the constitution, they're at the bottom of the list. Are they?
Starting point is 00:29:52 So I just looked up a few. Here's Andy Biggs. He gets a hundred percent Liberty score. That's an a yeah. There's Paul Gosar. He gets a 98%. That's an a let's go to some more. Here's Warren Davidsonar. He gets a 98%. That's an A. Let's go to some more.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Here's Warren Davidson, a Freedom Caucus member. He gets an A, 96%. I don't see Kinzinger anywhere in there. No. Here are three more Freedom Caucus members. Jim Jordan, A, 94%. Jeff Duncan, A, 94%. Ken Buck, A, 94%. Yeah, no Kinzinger. 94% Ken Buck A 94% so basically
Starting point is 00:30:26 what I'm telling you is Crenshaw is full of stuff it rhymes with hit thank you for your service
Starting point is 00:30:34 but you're lying so you may say well Dan he didn't say Kinzinger was a conservative because again unlike the left wing
Starting point is 00:30:44 media I do facts here, he said people who voted with Trump. Well, to give it a fair analysis, some of the legislative proposals that came through in the Trump era that Trump supported, a lot of them were spending bills that the Freedom Caucus is never going to support. So the Freedom Caucus and their alignment with the Trump presidency sometimes is low, not because the Freedom Caucus weren't conservative, but because they don't like deficit spending bills. Now, Crenshaw knows that. But again, Crenshaw is not dumb. Crenshaw thinks you're dumb. But here's the funny thing. Even when you take Crenshaw at what he said, Kinzinger was a 99% voter with Donald Trump. He was number two on the list.
Starting point is 00:31:29 He was. I count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 Republican members. That's just at the top of the list who were before Kinzinger in voting with President Trump. And it was not 99%. He made that up. Folks, listen, we are never, ever going to fix this country if the people who hijack our brand become false prophets.
Starting point is 00:31:59 I can't say this to you enough. Crenshaw is doing what the left does here. He knows he is, in fact, one of these false prophets. So he's turning it around and blaming it on conservative ink, which is stunning because how often have I warned you? Conservative ink is a real thing, but it's not who you think. The grifter class out there is real. I am begging you to see through it.
Starting point is 00:32:24 There are people who really believe what they say. The Levin's out there, the Tucker's out there, and then there's a class of grifters. This guy is one of them. Performers, he's the one doing the G.I. Joe videos. Again, due respect to the man's service. Don't take any of that away from him. But that was a disgusting speech. He should issue a full-throated apology for. Adam Kinzinger, that's your guy. That's the hill to die on, Adam Kinzinger.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Someone should primary that guy. Stat. Stat. I did. i warned you about it all right um let me get to uh excuse me i just told you like the covid cough was going away too here's what i got coming up with my next sponsor but uh alan bakari who's a tech writer has been warning for a long he's a great tech writer at bright bar has been warning about what's happening with twitter with the new ceo he's been warning about speech censorship for a while i got been warning for a long, he's a great tech writer at Breitbart, has been warning about what's happening with Twitter with the new CEO.

Starting point is 00:34:34 as the CEO of Twitter. Folks, this is nothing to celebrate. The guy taking his place is even worse. He is openly committed to, he has said on his Twitter account that the first, or me, not his Twitter account in an interview that really their priority right now is not the First Amendment, but basically using tech to mold narratives going forward. mass purge of a number of conservative Twitter accounts. He thinks, and I always put an asterisk here because he admits it's some speculation. He doesn't work at Twitter, but he thinks what happened is that Twitter's activating an old algorithm they use to basically mass purge conservative accounts.
Starting point is 00:35:17 The evidence is right there. I'm begging you, please. I don't know. And I've been clear from the start. I don't spin your wheels. I put my money where my mouth is.

This is an important story, folks, and it's more evidence of an ongoing evergreen narrative I've been working on with this show
Starting point is 00:37:16 for a very long time. The evergreen narrative is this, that liberalism, the essence of liberalism, is to destroy the poor minority communities and the middle and lower middle class. You're probably like, Dan, are you getting this all wrong? The liberals told us that's conservatives. Yes, exactly. That's like Dan Crenshaw calling other people performers. No. The essence of liberalism is to decimate the middle class and the poor
Starting point is 00:37:42 and destroy minority interests and their ability to engage in a more prosperous future and economy. That is, it's conservatism that advances the real equity interests. I show you stories like this all the time. Liberals love inflation. Who does inflation hurt?
Starting point is 00:38:00 The poor. Doesn't hurt the rich. The rich just borrow cheap and buy stocks and invest it in their companies. The liberals are against school choice. School choice. That doesn't hurt the rich. The rich will just buy a school and send their kids there. It hurts the poor who are now stuck in sucky private schools.
Starting point is 00:38:21 The liberals love government health care. What does that mean? Does that mean the rich are going to get stuck in government clinics? You bought that? You know what the rich get? Concierge healthcare with private physicians That come to their house While you're stuck in a government dental clinic
Starting point is 00:38:35 Getting your teeth pulled without Novocaine Liberalism is the suck Everything they do Makes your life suck more If you're poor I am telling you, this is a fact. Stop getting suckered. Here's another piece of evidence adding to how liberalism does the most damage to the poor. Wall Street Journal piece. Squaring up to defend mathematics. What? Who's defending? We're defending math now? Oh yeah, they are. Here's what happened.
Starting point is 00:39:06 we get defending math now oh yeah they are here's what happened liberals have been engaged in a war on math why because liberals are failing in public schools they can't teach minority kids how to do math we lag way behind competitively in math and reading around the world so instead of taking the blame and blaming the teachers unions who are really at fault for this. What are they doing? Liberals blame the process and they say, what? Yep. You guessed it, Joe. Math is racist. Definitely the math. The math is racist, folks. So they're now engaged in a war on math. Thankfully, some smarter liberals are starting to say to themselves now, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. We're now going to dumb down standards and make kids who are struggling, struggle even more by not letting, you know, not giving them anything
Starting point is 00:39:51 to achieve. Yes. So they wrote a letter and said, Hey, this is stupid. This is a group of, by the way, liberals and left-leaning folks, maybe a few right-leaning folks, folks first, but they're saying, Hey, this is stupid. Here's from the Wall Street Journal. They wrote, this is supposed to advance, quote, equity. But in addition to damaging America's global competitiveness, the letter says, the decline of rigorous math in public schools may lead to a de facto privatization of top-tier instruction and harm students with fewer resources. Amen, brothers and sisters. What's going to happen now? Rich and upper
Starting point is 00:40:27 middle class kids are going to evacuate public schools that don't do math the right way anymore because they want equity in math scores, right? And they're going to go where? To private schools, effectively privatizing high-level math instruction, making the rich kids smarter in the end maybe they don't have more aptitude but they'll have more achievement and then all of a sudden leaving the poor kids behind folks the evidence is everywhere liberalism is a cancerous disgusting rot to humankind it burns down everything it touches but the rich can protect themselves against liberalism and the poor can't he want more proof here's a statista article about where inequality which states have the highest degree of unequal inequality
Starting point is 00:41:10 you'll notice something this is statista research from september of 2021 puerto rico at the top run by democrats new york second run by democrats district of columbia third run by Democrats. District of Columbia, third run by Democrats. Connecticut, fourth run by Democrats. And you get Louisiana, Mississippi, which have a Republican bent, even though one of them has a Democrat governor. Then what do you have next? California run by Democrats,
Starting point is 00:41:35 all above the average for inequality in the United States and inequality. Kind of weird, New York and California, bastions of liberalism have managed to have some of the highest degrees of inequality around the entire country. Don't you find that weird? Well, you shouldn't find it weird. If you read this next story, it'll be in my newsletter today from Fox that quote, New York blue state and blue states rank as the least free as red states stand out in personal and economic freedom. They did a freedom and Liberty survey who was at the bottom,
Starting point is 00:42:04 out in personal and economic freedom. They did a freedom and liberty survey. Who was at the bottom? New York, Hawaii, California, and other blue states. Who was at the top? New Hampshire and Florida as the most free states. Conveniently, both doing economically very well and have a good degree of equality while New York and California get crushed. Usual suspects every single time. Ladies and gentlemen, nothing they are telling you is true. Liberalism is a lie bathed in another lie wrapped in misinformation. Please stop falling for it, please. Okay, before I get to my next story,
Starting point is 00:42:44 a big congratulations to devin nunes soon to be former congressman what what happened did he lose his seat no he didn't lose his seat he would have won they're trying to redistrict him out but he would have won pretty handily i believe even in his new district post-millennial breaking devin nunes to become ceo of trump's media group big congratulations devin nunes is the perfect man for the job. Donald Trump's new media group with his new Truth Social, his new competitor to Twitter, which will be launching soon. And when it's ready, I encourage everyone to jump on board.

Starting point is 00:43:36 His legacy will be having cracked the Spygate case wide open and having predicted the growth of a parallel economy early on. Seriously, read his book. He talked about the need for a parallel economy a long time ago. Congrats to Devin Nunes. All right, let me get to my last sponsor. And then coming coming up a poll which should scare the living daylights out of Democrats. And it explains perfectly, perfectly soup to nuts why people like Brian Stelter, the coffee boy at CNN and the media are so panicked about the attacks on Kamala Harris by the media. They're panicked because there's no backup plan.
Starting point is 00:44:05 She was the bullpen. Bring the righty out. She was the bullpen. There's no bullpen. This is why they're so paranoid. Okay, last sponsor of the day, our friends at GenuCell. Had a nice email about GenuCell yesterday. It's a Christmas and holiday season, everyone.

Despite what I would still see as biased media coverage, trying to defend the failed Biden Garland Harris administration and these useful idiots in the white house and department of justice, despite running a Praetorian Guard protection racket for Biden 24 hours a day. Shockingly, Tip Insights just ran a poll. Here's the headline. Tip Paul Stunner. Just 22% of Americans want Joe Biden to run for president again. Again, my question here,
Starting point is 00:46:21 who the hell are those 22%? Here, it gets even worse. This is from yesterday, December 6th, 2021. As mentioned, Biden was named by just 22% of those asked who they wanted to run in the next election cycle. While only 12%, 12, that's one, two, mentioned Vice President Kamala Harris, whose abrasive style, lack of preparation, and revolving to her personal changes have drawn criticism,
Starting point is 00:46:48 even from formerly friendly Democrats and the left-leaning media. Now do you see what's going on? Yeah, where are the 12? Right, good point. He says, where are the 12% who want Harris to run? Folks, this is a disaster. This is not trouble. This is not big trouble.
Starting point is 00:47:03 This is an apocalyptic, cataclysmic disaster for the left. They have no chance right now with their current bullpen, Biden and Harris, of winning in the next election. Say no chance anything can happen, but they are in real significant trouble right now. Now, do you understand why yesterday's segment with Brian Stelter, how the coffee boy at CNN, why he's so concerned about the media telling the truth about Biden and Harris? You see why now? Look, CNN put out a newsletter yesterday. It's by Oliver Darcy. He's the coffee boy for the coffee boy. So Stelter gets coffee for Zucker, right? Darcy gets coffee for Stelter. So he's like the vice president coffee boy. now quietly trying to reshape economic coverage. They had some conversation trying to get reporters to do propaganda instead of their jobs.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Why? Because of what I told you yesterday. They're starting to understand that the negative coverage of Kamala Harris is de facto negative coverage of the president. Why? Well, obviously because she works in the administration, but because she's their only candidate,
Starting point is 00:48:24 they have lined up for the next election. have no bullpen at all they have nothing so stelter and them are trying to alter the coverage to make sure they can try to turn the tide to give harris a kind of nicer path out there to run for 2024 by trying to say hey be a real shame if you destroyed harris's chances, right? You get it? That's what's happening right now behind the scenes. And showing you how character free the coffee boy and the sub coffee boy, the vice presidential coffee boy, Darcy and them are. Folks, I have not covered the Chris Cuomo scandal because I candidly don't care.
Starting point is 00:49:04 One, it's all over the news. I like to I don't like to waste your time. I get an hour, a little bit under an hour with you every day. My goal was always, remember Joe, our original stated mission of the show, we wanted to have you be able to go to work, come home from work, we're on a lunch break, get everything you needed to know. We felt were important in that day and we think it'd be important to you. Right. So I don't waste your time.
Starting point is 00:49:23 What is, who cares about Chris Cuomo? But I'll say this, and it may be an unpopular opinion. Chris Cuomo is a moron. No, I mean it. He's a moron. Like, he's really, he's just a jerk. He's not a nice guy. He is a gamer, and I don't think he has an ounce of principle in him.
Starting point is 00:49:41 But I got to tell you, it's pretty pathetic that Brian Stelter kissed this guy's butt at CNN while he was there when Cuomo had this the highest rated show they have on CNN which isn't really saying much it's like being the tallest guy you know you know in a village of infants right look at me I got all these infants I'm seven feet tall the infants are I mean seriously I'm sorry I'm five feet tall a bunch of the infants, right? Stelter, who kissed Chris Cuomo's ass the entire time he was at CNN. The minute things broke Brad for Cuomo, look what he does. Look at his Daily Wire headline.
Starting point is 00:50:22 CNN's Brian Stelter dunks on fired Chris Cuomo, says he caused so many headaches and CNN staffers were very unhappy. Listen, Joe, man. Good buddy. You and I go back a ways. Guy code, man. Right. Don't you? You know what I'm talking about? Like, really, bro? I listen. I've had co-workers throughout my life, the NYPD and Secret Service who've gotten in trouble. They do something wrong. You're like, you know what? I'll have to face the consequence. You'll go out in public and start piling on and bashing on him. No. I mean, there's like a guy code.
Starting point is 00:50:48 You know what I mean? Look at this punk, the coffee boy. What a loser. Meanwhile, keep in mind, the coffee boy, who's a laughingstock in the media. Remember him making fun of Mark Levin because Mark Levin said there was a FISA warrant on Trump? Never apologized for that. Promoting Avenatti, the PP hoax,
Starting point is 00:51:08 the Hunter Biden's laptop story was fake. This a-hole, Stelter, is dunking on Cuomo? What a character-free loser. Waits until he gets out the door. What a piece of garbage.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Shows you exactly who the eunuch is at CNN. CNN should put that loser on at 9 o'clock and watch him get annihilated in the ratings. Tells you everything you need to know about Brian Stelter. One last thing before I go. Folks, I know we don't cover a lot of foreign policy on this show. Keep your eyes on Ukraine. The situation with the Russians on the eastern
Starting point is 00:51:49 front of Ukraine amassing an invasion force now seems critical. I bring it up because regardless of your position, if we should intervene or not, should Ukraine be admitted to NATO, regardless of your position on that, what Russia does will have very real impacts on the United States.
Starting point is 00:52:09 Very real impacts, because China's watching too. I would expect not too long after the Olympics happen, that if Russia does invade Ukraine, that you'll likely see a Chinese invasion of Taiwan as well. Why does that affect you? Well, outside of just the geopolitical security ramifications, watch what'll happen to international markets. Keep your eyes on it.
Starting point is 00:52:36 That Ukraine situation's getting critical. And it shows you Biden made a lot of critical mistakes, especially with that Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which he should have never approved. All right, folks, thanks again for tuning in.
