The Dan Bongino Show - This is a Dogfight Now (Ep 1077)

Episode Date: September 30, 2019

In this episode, I address the exploding impeachment garbage brewing on Capitol Hill, in conjunction with the liberal media. I expose the troubling secrets their hiding in what’s obviously a pre-planned attack on the President.  News Picks: Did they change the intelligence community rules to target Trump? Explosive new information indicates the rules were gutted so the “whistleblower” could lodge a complaint.  Now, the tyrannical Democrats are demanding more phone call transcripts from the President. When will it end?  These three article show what the real foreign collusion scandal is: The UK: Russia: Ukraine: President Trump must protect the presidency. Joe Biden team panics and demands Rudy Guiliani be taken off the air.  Another myth debunked regarding the “lockdown” of the Trump/Ukraine transcript.   Copyright Dan Bongino All Rights Reserved.   Learn more about your ad choices.

I told you. I told you. I told you last week.

This was a pre-planned hit on Donald Trump. This whole impeachment, Ukraine gate, whistleblower gate fiasco. I warned you. Now, I know a lot of you are busy. You have busy lives, understandably so. Don't you worry. I have put together today the definitive one-hour show on what exactly happened, why this was a pre-plan hit, what they're covering, what they're going to do, and some information. We got them now.

Thanks to Sean Davis, hat tip, at Climate Audit, Stephen McIntyre on Twitter. Who else? Bebe, this guy Bebe, Mike Bebe, or Matt Bebe, I'm sorry. Terrific work this weekend. Matt Palumbo, our debunked, this guy did some amazing research. We are going to show you some, I know I say explosive a lot, but explosive stuff, ladies and gentlemen. Stay tuned.

We have a stacked show for you today. By the way, my wife wants to tell you a big thank you to everyone who showed up at our book signings they were incredible we had such an overflow crowd in barnes and noble for everyone who's been emails i am sorry we ran out of books that is not on us the turnout was a little bit bigger than we thought like three or four times and but you can still get an autographed copy of my book, Exonerated, if you go to, what is it, Paula? PremierCollectibles.com. Yes, PremierCollectibles.com slash exonerated. PremierCollectibles.com slash exonerated. Just click on it. I signed them.

They're not book plates. They're signed books. Please. And I have one more book signing this Friday, October 4th, 4 p.m., Barnes & Noble in the Villages at 1055 Old Camp Road. I'd love to see you there. We have had extraordinary turnout. And from the bottom of my heart, a big, fat, juicy thank you. And I mean that. You all have been amazing. I don't want to get choked up.

So I'm not going to talk. Okay, quick. Today's show, Bart's with my buddies at BCM. Ladies and gentlemen, are you in the market for a rifle or a pistol? If you are not looking at Bravo Company manufacturing, you're making a huge mistake. These are the finest rifles out there.

Ladies and gentlemen, BCM, short for Bravo Company Manufacturing. They do not, listen, this is not a sporting arms company. I can't say this enough. I love this company. I love having them on board.

It's not. If you're looking for a sporting arms, a sporting rifle, that's great. Those have, I love those. But that's not this company. What does this company make? They make life-saving equipment. Bravo Company Manufacturing manufactures their rifles. They're hand-assembled right here in Heartland, Wisconsin, the great old USA, by people who understand that that rifle could end up in the hands of a police officer, one of our military professionals, or a civilian who,

God forbid, might have to use that piece of life-saving equipment in a situation to save the life of themselves or their family. That's the standard they build their rifles for. They are not kidding around. They put people before their products because they feel it's their moral imperative for that piece of equipment, that rifle or pistol, to function properly and with precision. God forbid it's not a paper target anymore.

Bravo Company Manufacturing, the finest rifles and pistols out there. I have two. I love them. These are, I mean, you fire these things. It is just an amazing piece of equipment built to precision, life-saving standards. I can't recommend them highly enough. To learn more about Bravo Company Manufacturing, head on over to bravocompanymfg.com. Discover more about their fine products, their special offers, and upcoming news.

That's Bravo Company, MFG.com. Need more convincing? Check out their YouTube channel, YouTube.com slash Bravo Company USA. Remember, it's hand-assembled, tested, to a life-saving standard in Heartland, Wisconsin. This is not a sporting arts company. They manufacture life-saving equipment.

Check them out. Best rifles out there, in my opinion. Bravo Company, MFG.com. All right, moving on, joe let's go to the stack joe there we go ding ding ding super stoked ladies and gentlemen this was a pre-planned hit it is now becoming obvious now because i don't like to just say things and throw random factoids out there like liberals um and make stuff up. When I say a pre-planned hit, I mean the entire story they're telling you was based on a blueprint. Kind of like the blueprint I write about in my book, Exonerated,

where I talk about the blueprint for the collusion hoax, right? There is evidence now stacking up, Joe, that, so let's just compare these two stories first. Maybe that'll make more sense. Story number one that the liberal media and the Democrat hacks are telling you,

which is false, is that this whistleblower in the intelligence community, we now hear allegations that the CIA officer detailed the White House, heard from someone who heard from someone that President Trump made this devious promise to the Ukrainian governmentian government um about trying to get uh you know dirt on on joe biden in exchange for military aid that was the story okay that's all right and they it was so troubling joe so troubling worrisome that this had to be

very troubling he needs to be impeached yes andiff, Joe, just heard about this last week. Oh, yeah. They just heard about it. And it came up. And everybody, it rocked DC. I watched that dopey show. Forgive me, but I put it on for 10 minutes. It was the dumbest show. The Circus on Showtime, where these imbecile politicians run around like they're in an

action movie, taking themselves. It's so stupid. I mean, it's such an embarrassment. I used to see this in the Secret Service all the time. Listen, yours stinks like everyone else. Nobody cares. Nobody thinks. Stop with your self-important nonsense.

But it is. And in the show, they go, DC. They're always so dramatic. It's so funny. Like, give me a trucker any day of the week who actually works in real America. They're not dramatic at all. They get it. They work for a living.

It's like, calm down. Calm down, everybody. america they're not dramatic at all they get it they work for a living say calm down calm down everybody so there's this one line in this goofy show the circus with this reporter goes the town you arrived back in in dc is a different town than you love oh man bite me you know whatever dude whatever everybody take it easy dial the temperature down with your knife so dramatic they think they're in an action movie right turn off the mission impossible you know seriously everybody calm yeah this was a pre-planned hit now before we get to that what are they covering up i know i covered this a little bit last week

but it's important i addressed it on fox this morning yes and it's going nuclear on foxnews.com i'll have the link in the website on all my normal fox and friends hit on monday morning ladies and gentlemen they are covering up a few things number one they so why was this a pre-planned hit why did the democrats and their liberal media activists remember none of this happened last week? Why did they have this plan? Because there is devastating information coming out in the inspector general report about the Obama administration and Biden and their involvement with foreign governments.

We're going to talk about three right now. And I actually, for your viewing pleasure, put these three articles in the show notes today so you can keep them up on your phone just got a new iphone by the way nice this weekend got the 11 had to my other phone broke i'm gonna give you these three articles and i'm gonna show you because the democrats are telling you this is such a scandal collusion with the foreign governments when you pull up these three articles i bet you'll get them to change your mind quickly let's go to article number one ken Ken Vogel, Politico. Again, this will be in the show notes today.

Ken Vogel and David Stern, January 11, 2017. Oh, oh, oh, let's read this title. Ukraine efforts to sabotage Trump backfire. Kiev officials are scrambling to make amends with the president-elect after quietly working to boost Clinton. Huh? Howdy doh. Yeah.

Sometimes I just stay quiet to let Joe randomly interject the sound effect. Howdy doh. What the heck? Howdy doh. Hold the door, man. Well, howdy hoo. I thought, wait, I thought you, one, okay, so their version of the scandal, Trump was colluding with the Ukrainians to get political dirt.

That's not what that title says, folks. That's not what the title of that article says. The title of that article by left-wing bull- a call yeah politico left wing rag is about the ukrainians intervening in our election to attack donald trump and help clinton not damn bongino it's not bongino.com that's politico now in one of the greatest media hits this is short short, but oh, is this worth your time? I've seen it a long time. Mark Short, who is a friend who I love,

goes on MSNBC with the absolutely Joe, hapless Katie Tour, who I'm telling you outside of Brian Stelter, nobody gets wrecked, R-E-K-T, more on their own show than Katie Tour. I'm not kidding. I don't know Katie I'm sure she's a wonderful person but I don't care

she's a horror show she gets wrecked on her show on a near daily basis because she is so incredibly ignorant of what she just doesn't I don't know if she doesn't read the stories before she goes on the air so here's Mark Short on the show

with Katie Tour and this Ken Vogel political piece I just showed you about what they're really hiding, the Ukrainian collusion with the Obama administration of Biden. That comes up. And watch Katie Tour

get just completely on that this is just bad. Check this out. He talked about investigating Ukrainian meddling in the 2016 election, which has been documented that they meddled

in the 2016 election. A DNC operative met in the Ukrainian embassy. That's Russian propaganda, Mark. That's Russian propaganda. It's actually in Politico, as reported by Ken Vogel, who works for the New York Times.

Mark Lutter, I want to... Jeez Louise. Oh, there it is. Good angle. Side shot. Beautiful, baby. Listen, I'm trying not to overdo the thug life classes but i gotta tell you if there was ever a time mark please uh you know i know i know people around you watch the

show i know you may have seen it once in a while please get yourself a pair of these for your next appearance on katie's show if there was ever a time for you to just sit back just real slow-mo that was it that's Russian propaganda Katie she is I'm telling you I could do a highlight reel of just Katie to her piece where she gets wrecked on her own show but I don't have the time that's Russian propaganda actually it's Politico here's the

and he produces the piece right there like a hard copy nice job more than by the way Katie you need a band-aid for that paula didn't see me get this before the show here you go this is these are the waterproof next cares very good they're not a sponsor but they're very good these are the next care they seal out wood do you need a band-aid for that one here you go we've got one come pick it up up down in palm city florida we'll deliver the next yeah yeah okay moving on here is another example of foreign collusion by the obama administration biden administration that again

they're hiding check out this uh was it cnn what do we have for cnn or daily call it doesn't matter put either one up um here we go daily caller chuck ross who's done a phenomenal job on this christopher steel identified russian dossier sources notes reveal wait wait wait wait you just told us the president who by the way has the constitutional uh authority to engage in foreign negotiations and foreign diplomacy i mean i know the left doesn't actually read the Constitution. But yeah, so now we know that not only did Obama Biden, not only did they collude with the Ukrainians and the Clinton team, but now we know they also used Russian

sources. That's old news. We don't need to spend a lot of time and I just figured I'd put that article in the show notes today for you to remind your leftist friends about the real collusion scandal they're hiding. Finally, the last one which I've spoken about but we haven't shown on the screen in a while here is the infamous jim shudo article from cnn jim shudo pamela brown and eric bradner joe april 14 2017 british intelligence passed trump associates communications with russians on the u.s counterparts wait time out laundry laundry laundry on the field.S. counterparts. Wait. Time out. Laundry. Laundry.

Laundry on the field. Oh, there it is. I thought you told us foreign collusion to influence an election was a big deal. What about the British? That's CNN. So I gave you CNN and Politico, and then I threw in Chuck Ross's article in there in the Daily Caller to show you that mostly left wing outside of the Daily Caller outlets have already reported on this stuff. Now that you under remember the headline of the show here, we're talking about this was a pre planned hit. So you're saying, okay, Dan,

I'm waiting for the I'm getting to that. I have set this up what's the evidence you have that this did not just randomly appear last week what are they covering first evidence that's been dwelling there in the past that's going to come out in the IG report about extensive spying on a political candidate now President Donald Trump done in conjunction with foreign governments wait I Wait, I thought that's what they said Trump did. No. Okay, moving on. Talked about this a little last week, but in light here is a piece of evidence again that Adam Schiff knew this in advance.

Now, to be clear, before I put his tweet up, and wait till I get to the video. Folks, don't go anywhere. Wait till I get to the video afterwards. This don't go anywhere. Wait till I get to the video afterwards. This is going to bake your bagels of Pelosi. The left story is that they just heard this, Joe. It was so urgent a week or two ago. Yeah.

They just heard it. So urgent. Yeah. This wasn't planned. So we're in what? What's today's date? September 30th yes so right around mid-september joe the democrats and the media just got wind of this devastating urgent

complaint yeah okay well let's check out this adam shift tweet that sounds suspiciously like what's in the complaint of course by natasha bertrand as well noted conspiracy theorist i know i talked about selection but the video won't make sense without this. Adam Schiff. Trump is withholding vital military aid to Ukraine while his personal lawyer seeks help from the Ukrainian government to investigate his political opponent. It doesn't take a stable genius

to see the magnitude of this conflict or how destructive it is to our national security. Wow. Yeah. August 28, 2019. Shocker. How is this? How is Adam Schiff reporting on this, Joe, if he didn't hear about this for another two

weeks? Are we in an Avengers movie? Is Ant-Man, has he figured out the quantum zone? Are we going back and forth now? Is the Pym particle involved? Is Adam Schiff a superhero who's transporting himself? How on August 28 does Adam Schiff find out about a complaint he told us he hasn't seen till September? August, September. September, August. August, September. Joe, I would

ask you to be the audience on Buzzman, but I'm short on time. And this is such pure, unadulterated idiocy. Obviously, Adam Schiff knew something in advance. Well, you may say, ah, okay, maybe he was just guessing. Really? Listen to this amazing Freudian slip by our good pal, and by I mean good pal, I mean worst pal, Nancy Pelosi on 60 Minutes, who I'm shocked, by the way, didn't pick this up and edit it out. You know, 60 Minutes, a propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. How they didn't edit this out is really is really incredible listen to how she ends this nancy pelosi she's

like she starts talking about the phone call with the alleged promise between trump and ukraine was made listen to what she says at the end of this this is just pure gold check this out early last week details of the president's phone call filtered out in the press. As some at the Capitol called for impeachment, Mr. Trump phoned Speaker Pelosi to reassure her about the call with Zelensky. He told you about the phone call. He told me it was perfect. There was nothing in the call. But I knew what was in the call. I mean, it was in the public domain. Joe, how did you know what's in the call i mean it was in the public domain oh joe how did you know what's in the call public domain yes it was because it was just released yes did guys listen there is little doubt in my mind did you notice it by the way you may say oh well maybe she just saw it afterwards did you

listen i spent 12 years of my life interviewing bad guys yeah did you notice the way she catches herself right away well i already knew what was in the call i mean it was in the public domain folks they are you may say okay dan that's kind of thin gruel you got a tweet adam schiff could have guessed yeah pelosi slipped but no one knows maybe she just you know it's nancy b and nancy or whatever you know one of those uh you gotta pass the bill before you find out what's in it moments right um? Okay. I've got more. Don't you worry. I never, ever, unlike leftists,

leave you on thin ground here. Okay. Hold on. I do have to take a quick break for a sponsor, but don't go anywhere because we have yet to even touch the most devastating piece of information yet that this was a pre-planned pit. And big hat tip again,

Stephen McIntyre, Sean Davis, and others have to give appropriate credit to excellent investigators piece of information yet that this was a pre-planned pit and big hat tip again steven mcintyre uh sean davis and others have to give appropriate credit to excellent investigators who've done amazing wait till i show you this stuff don't go anywhere all right today's show also brought to you by buddies at stamps.com ladies and gentlemen our operation here is small bongino ink my wife and i we have people we work with uh obviously work with joe and others um but we i'm serious we couldn't run our operation work with Joe and others.

Accumulating more evidence that this was a pre-planned hit. And that's a mysterious whistleblower call that just came out of thin air. They are hiding their own

collusion. It's obvious. The Biden team, Joe, is now in a panic to keep Rudy Giuliani off the air. Why? Think about it. Let's think this through. I'm going to put up this article in a second here, this Hollywood reporter piece.

But the Democrats are telling us on one hand, and the media, you know, it's the same thing, because I follow Twitter, and I can't tell you what, I don't want them to block me. I follow very specific accounts to see what the focus group Democrats are feeding to the media for them to put out, because, you know, they do propaganda. And the line last week was,

Giuliani is destroying Trump's credibility. It's a, you know, of course, the goofy, spineless, jellyfish, loser, hack rhino Republicans who have no guts. They're just, they're a disgrace. Worse than Democrats. At least Democrats tell you what they want. You know, the Republicans are like, they're just really awful. They've horrible rhinos who was selling out Trump already. Giuliani needs to stay off the, why? Why is he lying? Everything he's saying about Biden has come true. So on one hand,

the Democrats this week said, Giuliani's doing terrible damage to Trump. Joe, why do you, why do you think they would, why do you think they would say that? Maybe because they're doing, let me throw this out there.

Tell you if this makes, tell me if this makes sense. Okay. Audience on buzzman hat. You got it. Maybe they're doing the little, what I would call tell you if this makes sense. Tell me if this makes sense. Okay. Audience on buzzman hat. You got it. Maybe they're doing the little, what I would call growing up, the old dipsy do flip through. Remember the dipsy do flip through when you were like dating a girl and, and, and she wasn't into you. So you pretended you weren't into her and then she's into you all of a sudden.

I used to call that the dipsy do flip through what the Democrats are doing is a not dating dipsy do. They're doing a political tactical dipsy do. Thinking if they tell Trump through the media how horrible Giuliani's been, that Giuliani will stay off the air knowing Giuliani's doing what, Joe? Actual damage to the Democrat Party. Real damage.

How do I know that? Because apparently Joe Biden didn't get the memo or his team that Giuliani's an asset to the Democrats. He's been so terrible. Really? Check this out. Hollywood Reporter. Joe Biden's campaign asked TV networks or his team that Giuliani's an asset to the Democrats. He's been so terrible. Really? Check this out. Hollywood reporter.

Joe Biden's campaign asked TV networks to stop booking Rudy Giuliani. Wait, hold on. More laundry. Laundry. We're reviewing the book. Under the hood again for review. We're reviewing the play. At first, the call on the field was Giuliani's great for the Democrats, terrible for Trump.

We review the play. Ladies and gentlemen, the call on the field was Giuliani's great for the Democrats, terrible for Trump. We review the play. Ladies and gentlemen, the call on the field has been overturned. It is now official. Giuliani is doing significant damage to the Democrats and the Biden story. Why else would Biden want networks to stop booking this guy? Because he's filleting them. And to the hack spineless this is why with this show folks i'm not kidding i i'm a conservative i'm a republican only because i

like to vote in primaries i'm tired of the republicans they've done nothing they spent this into an abyss they've become almost a complete total joke i'm sorry not all of them there are a lot of good people out there but unfortunately a large swath of republicans are really democrats but no Democrats are really Republicans. And for the ones selling Trump out, keep Rudy Giuliani off the air. Shut your pie hole. You guys and ladies are useless out there. Giuliani's actually the one fighting the fight.

While you guys sit in the background waiting to see where the political tea leaves organize themselves so you can jump down Trump's throat at a moment's notice to be fake virtue signalers. Go back into the ocean with your fellow jellyfish. You belong there. You're a disgrace. I've already said, I'm on to you. I'm on to all of you. I've seen your routine. Paula, I'm not even kidding. Do we not, people come up to me all the time and they say, they book signings are, hey, I wish you'd won that seat for congress not me not me i'm not kidding paula how often he says thank god i mean this i'm not using his name in vain thank you lord for helping me find my real path and keeping me away from that pit of vipers snakes keep giuliani off the air get back on the air right now. He's killing them out there. Again, showing you that the Democrats are afraid of something.

Now, back to this pre-planned hit. A blockbuster, blockbuster piece. This has been highlighted by Fox and Friends and elsewhere. Sean Davis, the Federalist. Just spectacular work. Listen to this unbelievable story. Up at the show notes today, please, please read the show notes. I have all the foreign collusion articles for the left there too. Headline, Sean Davis. Intel community secretly gutted the requirement of firsthand whistleblower knowledge. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hold on. We're doing like. Oh. There's laundry all over today. It's a mess. This is a legal procedure. This is a 35-yard penalty. I'm just making up the penalties now.

35 yards. Wait, what? So, we know that the alleged whistleblower, really a deep state spy, working with the deep state to attack Donald Trump in a soft coup, what's going on right now. Joe reported to us last week that this intel guy was so disturbed by trump's phone call yeah he had to report it but we heard this interesting angle that he didn't even hear the phone call joe wow that's interesting yeah so he was disturbed by

the phone call with the ukrainians he didn't even hear well how did he find out what was said on the phone call if he didn't hear donald trump's call with the ukrainian about the devastating promise and the political dirt on biden well where did he get it from well he claims he got it from white house officials of course anonymous and unnamed isn't that always cute how that happens well joe there's an interesting little issue with these ic whistleblower complaints that yeah you can't make the complaint if you're not the one who actually makes the complaint and heard about it. Yeah, you would think.

Now, let's walk through why that would be. Well, anybody could then say anything and then attribute it to anonymous people and ruin someone's career. Right. I thought you had something more profound to say. No, I just said hearsay. That's all.

Oh. I'm just messing hearsay. That's all. Oh. I'm just messing with you, man. Quite all right. Your audience gets very offended when they think I'm not poking fun at Joe. I love Joe. Don't get offended, folks. No, please. I didn't hear what he said.

Yeah, please don't get offended. We are good friends. I promise you. Take it back and forth. Yes, it's hearsay. It's hearsay. The reason hearsay is not admissible in court is because if the person who heard it does not think it was serious enough to make an allegation or to make a criminal complaint or a whistleblower complaint, why would someone who heard it from someone who heard it be more serious? There it is.

Folks, is this hard to understand? I'm not talking down to my audience. I promise you. I'm talking to the liberals who are listening while a conservative has this on in their shop. If the initial person who heard it was so disturbed by it why didn't they make a complaint why anonymously tell someone else who may have told someone else who told someone else what does that mean i see that the joe the whistleblower this is the funniest meme i've ever heard the whistleblower complaint was from a r.e.o Oh, yeah. They heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who. Remember that?

Yeah. I need Joe to sing because Joe's a better singer than me. That's a bit of meme going around. So the REO Speedwagon guys, the whistleblower. I was thinking of that all morning. Of course, I'm joking. That's a great one. I love memes.

We meme better than love. So the guy who heard it, what woman didn't think it was a big deal. Obviously. Eh. So setting this up, again, how this was a pre-planned hit. You can't make a whistleblower complaint through those ICIG guidelines unless you heard it. Oh, but there was a mysterious change recently. Oh, there's a butt coming.

There's a butt. Here we go again. Sean Davis from, yes, amazing how this happens. So convenient the timing. Excellent reporting you. Quote from the Federalist piece by Sean Davis. Between May 2018, I say Sean Davis' name because I really don't ever want to be accused of not attributing fine work to the right author. Between May of 2018 and August of 2019, the intelligence community, Joe, secretly eliminated a requirement that whistleblowers provide direct firsthand knowledge of alleged wrongdoing.

Oh, my gosh. Isn't the timing here special? It goes on. This raises questions about the intelligence community's behavior regarding the August submission of a whistleblower complaint against President Trump.

The new complaint document no longer requires potential whistleblowers who wish to have their concerns expedited to Congress to have direct, firsthand knowledge of the alleged wrongdoing

that they are reporting. What? I think it was, and forgive me because I want, Sean wrote about it. I know Stephen McIntyre, he's at Climate Audit on Twitter, picked it up too. Wonderful, wonderful work. Yeah. Awesome. So.

Yeah. It was a pre-planned hit. Schiff knew about it. Pelosi, oh, I already knew it was a pre-planned hit Schiff knew about it Pelosi oh I already knew it was a I mean kind of sort of maybe knew now we have evidence that the requirement that the person who makes the complaint actually heard the call no no no mysteriously changed to now you can hear it, as Joe just said, by hearsay from someone who heard it from a friend. Next thing you know, it's going to be like triple quadruple hearsay. I heard it in the pot bellies across the street from the White House while ordering like a carved out double meat turkey, which I used to get pickles with pickles and mustard. Yes. Yeah.

They heard it in there. And now we should impeach Trump over it. Now, Davis has another. Here's the actual change. Again, in case you liberals think we're making this up, how convenient the timing from Davis's piece. You'll see on the top here, I'm not going to read the whole thing,

but there's a requirement. It says, firsthand information required in order to be deemed credible. It must be in possession, quote, of reliable firsthand information required in order to be deemed credible. A must-be-in-possession quote of reliable firsthand information. The piece says, well, here's the revised disclosure of urgent concern form, Joe, following the August 2019 revision. This is great. I know about the information I am disclosing here and, box check. I have direct and personal knowledge. Okay, great.

Oh, there's a new box, Joe. Here's the box right below it. I heard about it from others. I heard it from a friend who, it's the REO Speedwagon. That's what that should be called. The REO Speedwagon footnote. They just changed it.

They just changed it. Now, folks, don't worry. It's all a big coinkydink. Schiff knows about it in advance. Pelosi slips on 60 minutes. They just changed the whistleblower guidelines to the REO speedwagon condition.

It's all one big coinkydink. Nothing to see here, folks. Jeez. big nothing to see here folks jeez what's that Pepto commercial upset stomach don't you worry it's

I the verdict is in this is colossal bull oh I got more are you flushing a toilet bowl in the background what is that is that you opening your mic out there it sounds like it's a toilet

if it is it was the greatest sound effect. It sounded like that by you. Tidy bowl, man. I don't know. Hey! I don't, I gotta, I really, it's been on a bit of a serious. I don't mean to be a buzzkill because you and I have a lot of fun, but. Yeah, go ahead, man.

You know, I did Fox this morning and uh i said something i mean i mean folks that the republic's dying i mean it's it's we're it's dying it's literally dying a slow death and you know i always say literally literally the most overused word but i mean that i'm not speaking figuratively we now have an unquestioned deep state coup by insiders who pre-planned another blueprint-like hit, just like the collusion hoax, using the exact same model to take out a president elected by you. We are dying here. Our legal system's been thrown in lim limbo we have judges acting like politicians national injunctions against the trump administration we have democrats whose sole purpose is to overturn

an election won't pass anything usmca that aren't interested even remotely about the economy nothing we have warning signs ahead we're spending ourselves into the abyss you know i i gotta have i gotta smile a little bit we'll all be we'll all just be it's just exposing these people our let me tell you something so i leave you with a bit of an opt before i go on optimistic note we need to re-elect this man because i think with five more years and potentially a pence or trump jr term that, I think we can make a real dent and turn this thing around.

Now, I knew they were going to do this too. So this guy, BB, who I had never heard of before, but I'm starting to really find interesting on Twitter. Twitter's the greatest place for information. If you're not on, I know it's run by liberals, but ladies and gentlemen, we're taking Twitter over whether they know it or not. They can't ban all of us. And we, this is where the information gets out. You just have to know where to look. And I was recommended to this guy by someone else. So again, more evidence that this was a pre-planned tactical hit on Trump. We have Schiff, we have Pelosi, we now have Sean Davis's evidence about the changes to the whistleblower guidelines. There was another update made

recently. Here's a tweet from this guy. I think he's at VoteBeebee. Yes, Matt Beebee. His Twitter handle is at VoteBeebee. He tweets, you're not going to believe this. This is like unfathomable. He says, incredibly, it gets worse. So just to preface this, keep that up there. He's talking about not just where the whistleblower guidelines changed. There was another change. He says on December 23rd, four days ago, that's when he tweeted this on the 27th, just four days before he tweeted it, Joe. And before the complaint was released, the whistleblower complaint, the Congressional

Research Service made another extensive update to their publication on the intelligence community whistleblower complaint, the Congressional Research Service made another extensive update to their publication on the intelligence community whistleblower protections. And he provides all the links for you to compare. Wait, wait, wait. So there's another quickie update. So right before the firsthand knowledge requirement is dumped, right before the complaint is made, that suggestion, that change is made. There are more?

They can't be this stupid creating this paper show no they just don't care because they know media hacks will say rug right underneath the rug what was this complaint this is a little more nuanced but fascinating nonetheless put up that photo with all these bullet points here is the revised one i can't i don't want to put them back and forth but there are these just four days before so what is it seven days ago now the intelligence community changes i'm not going to read through this whole thing but i'll tell you what you need to what you need to pay attention to here they changed the guidelines joe for what an urgent concern reporting mechanism was okay and they added all of these additional

bullets on specifically how this information could be shared with Congress because it was light before and one of the things they added were these bullets you'll see up on the screen now where it gives them a bunch of uh here in other words here's what they do let me explain this in simple terms just leave that up for a second in very simple terms the urgent concern means that if someone in the ic report intelligence community right uncovers information so detrimental to the country and it meets x y and z conditions that that would be classified as an urgent concern and that complaint has to be transmitted to congress within seven days that makes sense folks i get it okay this category of concern this these specific complaints they must

go to congress now what's the problem i bet you the Democrats, in conjunction with their deep state buddies, and hat to BB for seeing this, said to themselves, well, there's a problem with this urgent concern guideline. It doesn't include the POTUS, President of the United States. Folks, the urgent concern guidelines concern former or current intelligence officials, not the president. So what do they do? They revise it to what I just showed you. If you put that back up on the screen and they add all these sub bullets, all these sub bullets, and they leave conveniently two of them they leave footnotes out the matter

requires the icig to submit a report to the doj on possible criminal conduct by a senior intelligence official and it's the one these two aren't footnoted at all because in the footnote to the other ones it says senior intelligence officials that leaves out the president folks what's happening here i know this one is a little more complicated. Very simply, they are laying out a revised new blueprint for Congress to pitch to their compliant media allies they know won't read the footnotes to say, look, this was an urgent concern. We have these guidelines. Folks, those bullet points were not in the edition just one week ago do you believe this crap the edition that was put out just a week ago mentions urgent concern twice

the one we have now messaged urgent concern 10 times. Sorry, I had another finger up there below the screen. That was Joe Biden. I was like this. I was hiding my thumb. You'd think I was Joe Biden for a minute. 10 times.

In other words, Congressional Research Service, hey, Congress, let's clarify. Let's lay out a few more bullets you can feed to your media friends about why this would be an urgent concern and why we need it from the president don't read the footnotes that says this doesn't apply to the president we'll leave them out nice job baby good work

nice ladies and gentlemen this was a pre-planned hit you are living through a soft coup right now isn't that cute disgusting tyranny is a filth all around us. Yes, sir. Now, showing you, this was based on the blueprint, as I discussed and exonerated the book. Sorry to keep it, but again, I enjoy it. I put a lot of work into it. By the way, thank you. We're still number five on Amazon, which is like killer.

You guys and ladies are awesome. They're going through this in order now to keep the whistleblower, Joe, from any exposing of potential political motives. They're going right back to the model they used before with Stefan Halper. Who is Stefan Halper? Stefan Halper, of course, was the spy who infiltrated the Trump campaign on behalf of deep staters in the U.S. government to feed them information, a spy on the Trump team. Now, Joe, when Halper was outed by Chuck Ross at the Daily Caller, what did they say?

National Security, you're putting this guy in danger. Don't dare ask any questions. Shh. Everybody quiet. Now, I didn't think they would trot this one out again. Sorry, Paul, I went a little bit out of order. Let's look at this CBS News piece. They're trotting the same BS out again.

Again. CBS News, the impeachment inquiry. We cannot ignore what the president did by Scott Pelley. And you'll see a little bit right down from the headlin peace, which is just I mean, they are so predictable. And these media sycophants put up that this is just here we go. Tonight, 60 Minutes has obtained a letter that indicates the government whistleblower who set off the impeachment inquiry of President Trump is under federal protection because he or she fears for their safety. Where did they get that from? I don't know.

I have no idea. You're right. Great question. No idea. Joe's the audience on Budsman. None of us can figure it out. We can't figure it out. I don't know. Joe, do me a favor. After the show, I know you've got to do a lot of hard work with the audio file. Put it down the audio file and go do some

homework. I have no idea. No idea where they fear for their no idea buddy no way folks it is the same template for the collusion hoax leak info to the media pre-planned hit in advance change all the guidelines manipulate the woods procedure yep once you're outed make sure you claim national security. And then turn around and blame Trump for all of it. Now, one last thing here. Ah, dude. I went a little bit out of order.

I had this, but this is important. What did I tell you last week? Why? And listen, I'm not piling on. I just think whoever gave President Trump this advice, it was awful. I said, do not release the transcript. Do not.

If you have nothing to hide, there is no reason to release it. Not the other way around. We don't work for the media. The media, if you have nothing to hide, release the transcript. No, no, that's not the way any of this works. The president gets to conduct... What's the famous line about diplomacy two things are best done

behind closed doors one date night second diplomacy well they don't say date night they say something else but i'm trying to keep it family friendly. You get the drill. Oh, yeah. The president is under no obligation at all to disclose his foreign diplomacy to media people who are clueless Democrat propaganda hacks. What did I say last week, Joe? I said, once he discloses his transcript did i not say this i said they're gonna want all the transcripts now as if on cue ladies and gentlemen reuters today be in the show notes what are they demanding now now they want the trump putin phone calls and u.s democrat sites adam schiff sleazeball. Adam Schiff's sleazeball demands. Well, it added sleazeball in there.

Folks, you read that. That's not actually in the title, but it's a necessary modifier. It's a given. It is. It is a given. You're right. It's absolutely a given. It's an honorific for Adam Schiff that he deserves. What do they say down the piece? They want not just the Russian phone

calls, but they want transcripts of all of his phone calls with foreign leaders folks i i good heavens i i won't i mean listen you don't you're the white house you don't have to listen to me obviously i'm just a guy out here trying to fight the good fight but i'm not just me i warned you this was going to happen. And now someone in the white house is probably an establishment swamp rat. We got to release that too. Folks, the Republic is dying. The president of the United States cannot even conduct foreign diploma.

You don't like, by the way, let me just put this out there. You don't like his foreign diplomacy. You are a citizen of the freest country on earth. Vote against him. I'm not. I'm voting for him. Do your thing.

I have no... You don't like it? Fine. We have an election coming up. But this is outrageous. I warned you this was going to happen. They are covering for the IG report. All right. One more myth on this I got to debunk,

and I do have one positive story to report because I don't want to leave you in a horrible mood for Monday. The other myth being propagated by the liberal hacks in the media and their democrat focus group tested a sycophantic allies that after trump's phone call was remember this is pre-planned this whole thing joe they were waiting for the ukraine phone call why discuss this last week these deep state swamp rats that had pre-planned this hit changed the guidelines they were waiting for the ukrainian election knowing the president would call knowing they have their own baggage with ukraine hoping he mentions biden's name and the pre-planned hit and the template and the whistleblower guidelines and the urgent concern stuff was all ready to go

in conjunction with adam adam schiff sleazeball honorific but another democrat attack line we're hearing is after the phone call, it was so devastating, Joe. Remember, they just found out about this two weeks ago. Yeah, sure. It was so devastating that they had to take the phone call and the transcript of it and put it in a different classified White House system because they were so afraid it was going to be discovered. And Joe, importantly, this is unique to trump he he's the only one who's done this is unprecedented oh my uh then we see this other piece of the federalist which kind of says something a little different by david marcus again in the show notes today susan rice obama put call transcripts on top secret server too don't you worry nothing to see here folks again the democrats

and the media as always are telling you the truth. This is unprecedented. Putting it on this top secret server. Didn't Obama do that too? Listen, do what you want. Subscribe to Goofy Liberal Socialism Policy. Just know you're being lied to. You're just, you're being lied to.

You don't like the president's call honestly he probably could have worded a lot of that differently there was nothing treasonous there's nothing criminal frankly i think the president should be patted on the back for doing the job the media didn't do and investigating this foreign collusion in our last election probably should have left biden out of it let them other ones handle that but they investigate the collusion and all of these allegations swirling around you, good for you. Vote against them if you want. But what's going on right now is bull and you know it.

This is a soft coup going on right now. All right, I want to leave you with kind of a good story. It's been a heavy weekend but that is a pretty well-rounded assessment of exactly what's going on i hope i hope you enjoy it yeah i like your feedback yeah so yeah it was a story in the wall street journal on a good note another thing the democrats are not hiding but they're running away from and they don't want to talk about is the fact the economy economy is booming. There's a great op-ed by Stephen Moore in the Wall Street Journal today, Trump's Middle Class Economic Progress. A new study indicates median incomes are rising far faster than they did, not just under Obama,

Joe, but under Bush, too. Check this out. The Democrats, we've been told, Joe, oh, Trump is a war against the middle class. Wrong. That's not what the data show. I know you guys don't do data, liberals, but you may want to try just once in a while. Quote from the middle class. Wrong. That's not what the data show. I know you guys don't do data liberals, but you may want to try just once in a while. Quote from the more piece.

The latest data from the Census Bureau tells a different story. Real median household income, the amount earned by those in the very middle, hit $65,084 in 2019 dollars for the 12 months ending in July. That's the highest level ever and a gain of 4 144 or nearly seven percent since mr trump took office 6.8 to be precise by comparison during seven and a half years under obama starting from the recession through January 2017, the median household income rose by only $1,000.

Yeah. So let me get this straight. Trump's been in office, what, three years now? Yeah. Median middle-class incomes are up $4,144. Obama spent eight years in office and incomes only rose a thousand and he was the middle class warrior

yeah now you see why the Democrats want to talk about anything but what's actually going on it's a disgrace folks again thank you for everything I really appreciate this past week and thank you to everyone
