for details go today all right joe let's go so let's start with this quick update put a little
smile on your face on this tuesday morning so you can change things folks we played that 911 call
play it again today this is a 911 call from Fredericksburg, Virginia.
A woman is surrounded by protesters that turn into rioters rather quickly.
She's got her child in the car.
It's a three-minute call, but this is about a 30-second snippet.
Played it yesterday, but it's important to play it again.
She's clearly terrified.
And the 911 operator completely drops the ball by telling her,
no, don't you worry, basically.
This is all like sanctioned A-OK behavior.
In the interest of time, I want to play it.
I'm going to play what happened afterwards.
I think you're going to like this.
Check this out.
I'm in downtown.
The protesters are blocking.
The city has sanctioned their protest.
So we just have officers that can only monitor.
They can't do anything about it.
So we recommend that you...
They're blocking.
Get out.
Yeah, they're allowed to do that.
They're allowed to do that for City Hall, so we suggest that you report this to
city hall and make a complaint there, and that way they can do something about it, because
right now they told our officers that we can't do anything about it.
Are you serious?
The city told us that we can't do anything, ma'am.
Get out of my car.
You know, this is going to get dangerous.
I've got a kid here.
Yes, ma'am.
It was just that you call up city hall to let them know about your frustrations.
Get out of the car. This is getting scary. I cannot.
Or if you can do like a side road or something. But yeah, there's nothing I can do to get them out.
Get out of here. OK, this is. Oh, they're on my car. They're on my car.
Ma'am, are they actually sitting on or standing on your car right now?
They're on my car!
As you can hear, the woman is deeply disturbed
and is getting absolutely no assistance from the emergency operator
who picked up the 911 call.
I don't know if it was this show,
because I didn't hear a lot of other mainstream outlets covering this
that have a national audience like we do,
but some of you in Fredericksburg and others must have been really upset and inquired about
this because the Fredericksburg Police Department put out this video yesterday saying, hey,
listen, we're looking at this.
It's supposed to show you that when you guys and ladies make us think about something that's
wrong, you can get some response too.
Don't give up.
The left understand they never give up.
They've been protesting since their pink hats the day after President Trump got elected. We got to do the same thing. There's no
give up. New rules. We fight back too. It's a small thing that they put this video out,
but it matters. Check this out. Hi, my name is Sarah Kirkpatrick,
and I'm the public information officer for the Fredericksburg Police Department.
Recently, we've received several concerns from people about a 911 call that was made public where a woman and her child were driving downtown and they were met by demonstrators.
While the woman was on the phone with our 911 center, a person jumped on her vehicle.
Now anyone that has heard this call can hear how frightened she was, frightened for herself,
frightened for her daughter, and as a mother myself, I can only imagine the thoughts that
were going through her head. Now, since this unfortunate situation, we have had several
conversations with the caller. We also had an officer open a criminal investigation the following
day to identify the person that jumped on her vehicle. We're treating this investigation like
we would any other criminal investigation in an attempt to identify this person.
We've also made adjustments in our communication center.
If a person dials 911 for concern about demonstrators in the roadways,
they will be notified that an officer is staged one block away,
not only to divert traffic, but also for their safety.
If you express concern for your safety,
you can be certain an officer will respond to assist you.
Whether you're in the downtown district or anywhere in the city of Fredericksburg,
we are here to serve you. All you're in the downtown district or anywhere in the city of Fredericksburg, we are here to serve you.
All right.
That's pretty darn good.
In response to you all activists out there doing the right thing
and standing up for what's decent and good
and apparently calling or emailing Fredericksburg
and saying,
hey, I kind of got a problem with this.
So now we know a couple things.
Apparently some kind of discipline or
whatever happened with the 911 operator, however they worded that in that video there, and that
they're also going to reformulate their policies here. You see, this stuff works, folks. Again,
small victory, but small victories matter. When we expand the sphere of small victories into bigger
and bigger and bigger victories, we can eventually take back the battle space of ideas we're on right now where we're getting our collective arses kicked.
Because remember, the left never gives up.
I can't say this enough.
You know, I'm not here for hoorah speeches every day.
I'm not here for hoorah speeches every day. I'm not a football coach.
I'm here to give you a bunch of facts,
sometimes laden with humor,
sometimes with seriousness,
sometimes with tears,
but to let you make your own decision.
It's happened.
The range of emotions on this show goes everywhere sometimes,
and I don't even expect it most of the time.
But this is a bit of a hoorah speech.
Folks, the left never, ever, ever gives up.
They don't.
You don't have to like them.
I don't.
You don't have to like their ideology. I can't stand it. It's destructive and evil in many cases. But you have to begrudgingly
admit that sometimes many of them, not all of them, but many of them won't give up while we
sit back and get frustrated. We can't let that happen. The warrior spirit is in us, not them.
The radical left are full of cowards.
And I think with us, we see the truth is in front of us and they won't accept it.
We get frustrated and the instinct sometimes to pull back, the instinct should be to drive
forward and plow straight through.
I can't use this analogy enough.
This is not a golf game, okay?
In a golf game, you're playing a game with a couple of your friends, playing
18 rounds, 9 rounds, whatever it may be.
You get tired after the 11th hole
and it's really hot.
Get in your golf cart and go home.
Nobody cares. Joe's a golfer.
Does anybody care? Nobody cares.
Joe doesn't even care. Joe's hot.
He's going back in his car, putting on the
AC. The golf greens owner gets
his money. The people behind you play through.
Nobody cares.
You can give up in golf.
That's not this.
That's not what we're living in right now.
We are living with a boxing match with no referee, no rounds, no timer, no fans, and
no way out.
The door is locked behind you.
When you stop fighting and you think you can
go home and get back in the AC, the other guy is still whipping your caboose and it's hurting
really bad. So you have two choices. You can fight back or you can get pummeled into oblivion.
Don't mistake one for the other. You're making a tactical, strategic miscalculation
that will cause you immense pain,
economic, financial in the long run,
healthcare pain, and everything else,
and potentially a New York City death
if you succumb to what's happening there now
where they are threatening to defund the police department.
I'll get to that later.
These little victories matter.
Your phone calls and your emails matter.
Again, a small thing.
I don't want to be hyperbolic,
but evidence again that your voice makes a difference.
All right, let me get to my second story.
So yesterday I didn't get to cover this in depth
because the story broke
as we were recording the program today.
John Roberts, the Chief Justice of the United States
has abandoned us again on the Supreme Court. Listen, please, please, I'm begging you. The verdict is
in, folks. The gavel is dropped. Please stop talking about John Roberts as the swing vote.
John Roberts is not the swing vote. He's a liberal. He is a dyed-in-the-wool liberal.
He's not a swing vote on anything.
He's a liberal.
The court has a 5-4 liberal bet.
But then he was appointed by a Republican.
Doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter.
I don't care that George W. Bush appointed him.
He is a dyed-in-the-wool, full-blown lib.
What happened yesterday in the Supreme Court?
I didn't get a lot of time to talk about it. I don't want to beat it to death today,
but I wanted to give you, I owe you a better analysis
because there's more rulings coming down today as well.
Trump's taxes and elsewhere.
There's a great piece in the Wall Street Journal
which describes the fraud Chief Justice Roberts is.
It's called One Man Supreme Court
by the Wall Street Journal's editorial board.
The Chief Justice relies on an abortion precedent he dissented from?
No way.
Really?
So let me get this straight.
There was a case, to give you kind of a brief synopsis, in front of the Supreme Court,
was ruled on yesterday, where Louisiana had a law that said if you are going to be an abortion doctor
terminating life in the womb, then like every other medical professional in the state that engaged in these intrusive procedures
you had to have admitting procedures to a hospital in case it was an emergency
basically saying that abortion providers should be treated like any other health care professional
seemed like a pretty common sense law right yeah? Yeah. Well, of course, right, Joe?
Common sense, right?
Yeah.
Now, what's interesting about this, Joe,
is a lawsuit was filed because, you know,
abortion is a sacrament amongst the left.
But the lawsuit wasn't filed by any woman
who was denied an abortion.
So, Joe, you're probably thinking,
so who was the victim?
Yeah.
If no woman was denied an abortion because of this law,
then who had what they call standing?
The lawsuit was filed by abortion providers,
not by any woman who was denied this air quotes right to an abortion.
I say air quotes because there's no such thing.
It's made up.
But that's interesting.
And they didn't even have real standing there.
But the chief justice in the case, I'll get to this screenshot from the Wall Street Journal
piece in a minute.
Chief Justice Roberts, full blown limb.
There was already, Joe, a very similar case a few years ago in front of the Supreme Court.
Matter of fact, almost an identical case about a Texas law about what?
This is crazy time, Joe.
A Texas law about admitting privileges into a hospital for doctors.
You may say, well, Chief Justice Roberts, who yesterday ruled that,
no, no, that Louisiana law that was the same as the Texas law,
that law is no good.
Joe, if common sense prevails, clearly Justice Roberts ruled the same way
in the Texas case, right?
Saying that the Texas law is no good.
You'd be wrong, Joe.
No.
Because you're thinking in common sense terms.
Shame on you again.
Let's go to the Wall Street Journal piece.
I don't know what you're thinking.
Common sense?
Come on.
This is Chief Justice Roberts.
So from the Wall Street Journal piece, showing you what a fraud Chief Justice Roberts is.
A woman's right to an abortion wasn't even at issue in the June Medical
Services versus Russo case. No woman seeking an abortion was a plaintiff. The case was brought
by abortion providers who claim that Louisiana's requirement that they have admitting privileges
would be an undue burden on the ability of a woman to obtain an abortion. Keep in mind,
no woman filed suit here. Here's the stunner they go on four years ago
a different court majority supreme court majority overturned a similar texas statute oh okay
with then justice anthony anthony kennedy joining the four liberals
chief justice roberts dissented in that case yet on on Monday, the justice chief justice Roberts joined the liberals citing his duty to
follow a precedent.
It's not a precedent.
He disagreed with Duke.
You get what I'm saying?
Texas abortion law.
Chief justice.
Robert says no good.
Exact same law in Louisiana.
Chief justice Roberts.
That law is good.
This guy's a total phony.
He is may, law in Louisiana. That law's good. This guy's a total phony. He may go down as the worst judicial appointment to the Supreme Court by a Republican in modern history.
Now, this is the reason I wanted to discuss this after the prior story about never giving up,
fighting, and even winning small victories, activism, phone calls, emails to elected
officials, to police departments and elsewhere.
Because some people are using this as an excuse to give up on the 2020
election. And candidly, it's really driving me crazy.
Some of them are friends of mine. Some of them are friends of Joe's too.
I haven't told, I haven't discussed with this, this with Joe before the show,
but one specific guy I have a lot of respect for who's constantly suggesting
that we got to just abandon the court system. It's a total mess and we got to give up judicial
supremacy rules. Listen, I'm not doing that. I'm sorry. The court system stinks. I get it.
We've appointed judges. Many of them have abandoned us. The simple fact, Joe, though, is many of them haven't. Clarence Thomas, rock star.
Alito, rock star.
Gorsuch, jury's still out.
Kavanaugh, jury's still out.
I'm sorry, but I'm not willing to do the boxing-golf analogy
and say, oh, I give up, because you're still getting your arse kicked.
So the logic there is forget it, 2020.
It doesn't even matter, the Trump election.
Trump appointed a couple of conservative justices
and we're still losing in the courts.
So again, you're in the golf analogy.
Let's just give up, forget it, walk off the game.
When it's not a golf game, it's a boxing match.
You think you're in a golf game,
the other guy's beating the snot out of you.
Just checking.
That's your analogy. game, it's a boxing match. You think you're in a golf game, the other guy's beating the snot out of you. Just checking. You understand your whole
collective
credo, this belief system,
is all wrong, right? You're still under
the belief this is a golf game.
As if there will be no consequences
for your walking off the field.
They will follow you and beat you with
their golf clubs.
You don't understand that.
A lot of us do.
There is no quit.
I'm very sorry.
And for honestly, to folks, to give you a kind of a scope of what the playing field looks like on my show,
for every one email I get from someone who says, I'm done, I'm quitting.
Seriously, I get 99 from people saying double down, full steam ahead. My audience is hardcore. I'm not kidding. They're ready for the fight.
I'm not saying that for puffery to pound my chest, look how tough my audience is. It's true.
I'm talking specifically to that one person. You may say, Dan, why? 99% of us are with you.
Because that one person matters. General Flynn put out a terrific parlay on Parler yesterday in his account.
He said it was something to the effect of, you know, 2% of, you know, dedicated, passionate
people will control the other 98%, 100% of the time.
Fact.
The verdict is in.
That is a fact.
God bless you, General Mike Flynn.
That is one of the most powerful things I've ever heard.
He was quoting someone.
2% of passionate people will control the other 98%, 100% of the time,
if the other 98% are impartial to anything and ready to give up.
I'm not giving up, and neither should you.
We could get two more Supreme Court picks under President Trump.
You're ready to give up?
What?
Ah, forget it.
Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, we don't know yet.
The jury's still out, so I'm finished.
You're finished.
I'm not.
I have a great article, by the way, The Federalist.
It's in the show notes today.
Check it out.
Bongino.com slash newsletter is where you subscribe to my show notes.
I'll send you these articles every day.
Great article.
Seven times, or if it was Joe Biden,
seven times John Roberts has screwed us over
on other rulings.
Or even better, Joe Biden,
seven times John Roberts has screwed us over.
It goes, the Obamacare ruling, remember that?
When John Roberts said, no, Obamacare's a tax,
therefore it's constitutional.
Fascinating, because Obama is actually on tape with a mainstream media reporter on tape.
You can look at it today saying Obamacare, the penalty is not a tax.
Crazy.
John Roberts just reinvented the law.
Despite Obamacare, Obama, you know, that's where Obamacare comes from for some of the
far leftists watching, saying it wasn't a tax.
Remember the citizenship question on the census?
No, no, Robert said we can't have that.
Despite in the same ruling, Robert's saying,
the way they did it is the problem.
Trump's ability to do it isn't.
So now he has administrative procedure problems.
So he rewrote that too.
Then of course there was the,
remember when he censored Senator Paul
during the impeachment hearing for bringing up the whistleblower's name?
I will not allow the whistleblower.
Rand Paul should have blown right past him.
Yeah.
Remember that one?
Then there was the DACA ruling.
Remember the DACA ruling just recently?
Remember that one.
President Trump has the power to stop DACA, the immigration program, in circumvention of the law that President Trump stopped.
But we just don't like the way he did it.
Phony,
total fraud.
Read the article in the Federalist.
This guy's totally abandoned the rule of law.
Disgraceful.
He's disgraced the,
the,
the black robe and what it signifies.
Disgusting.
I'm really disappointed,
but we fight on.
We always fight on always
I get you're upset
me too
I get it
it's no excuse
no quitting
ever
your kids are watching
what we do right now
so we're mine
fight on
alright let me get to my second sponsor

Where are we now?
Getting back to the show.
Okay.
So, you know, I've been really focused on this whole tech tyranny thing and how the impact on the 2020 election is going to look and what the battlefield is going to look like. Folks, it's troubling.
That's why I got involved in Parler. You all know that. I've given that disclosure a million times.
I'm sorry, but it's only appropriate. I'm one of the owners of the company, Parler, which is a
competitor to Facebook and Twitter. It's not why I bring up these stories. I bring them up because
they're going to have a deep and profound impact, not only on your life, but on the 2020 election.
going to have a deep and profound impact not only on your life, but on the 2020 election.
Ladies and gentlemen, the liberal left and liberal corporate America, which has entirely abandoned any semblance of dignity, they are genuflecting and bowing at the knee in front
of every radical leftist group on Twitter that tries to intimidate them.
And it's quite disgusting.
Corporate America has abandoned us.
They are now, believe it or or not boycotting in mass
facebook this is interesting you may say well dan what's the problem
don't lose me on this this is an important story
you may be saying to yourself well what's the issue if liberal corporate america
dominated by liberals on their boards, are boycotting Facebook.
In other words, they're stopping their ad supply on Facebook.
They're not paying for ads anymore on Facebook in an effort to push them.
What's the problem?
Leftist Facebook, leftist corporate America, Dan, let them eat themselves alive.
That's not what's happening.
It is what's happening, but that's not the result.
That's not the result.
Leftists and leftist groups are trying to get Facebook now to police private groups.
I'm not kidding.
Look at this article in the Wall Street Journal today.
It should scare the out of you.
Woke capital targets free speech.
Advertisers want to turn Facebook into a political enforcement tool.
So, again, I'm trying to say, you may be saying to yourself,
good, let them eat themselves alive.
No, no, folks, this is going to have far ranging consequences.
Facebook has what, a billion plus users?
It has become a new public square.
If Facebook turns from a public square for debate,
turns from that into a totalitarian spying tool for Democrat operatives to use
the platform to weed out their opposition.
Do you understand the silencing effect that's going to have on political voices in elections?
You get where I'm, they're using them.
Facebook as a big surveillance state.
You don't believe me?
Check this out.
This is what these corporate companies folding to the left are pushing Facebook to do.
Quote, the activists want Facebook to use algorithms to, folks, play attention to this
line, please.
This should scare you.
I'm trying to not use any expletives here, but I can't emphasize enough how frightening
this is.
I'm trying to not use any expletives here, but I can't emphasize enough how frightening this is.
The activists want Facebook to use algorithms to more closely surveil private groups,
as well as to remove any groups that focus on climate denialism.
It says, watch out if you debate climate projections, what you thought was a private forum.
They also want Facebook to fact check speech by politicians, but don't expect claims consistent with officially sanctioned social justice ideology to face any
scrutiny. Folks, this is deeply, deeply disturbing. Now you understand my involvement with an
alternate social media platform and why I'm doing this. Facebook is the new public square, ladies and gentlemen. Sadly,
I wish it weren't. We're making an effort right now, slowly but surely, to stop that and give
you an alternative. They want Facebook to start policing private groups looking for climate
denialism, political speech they deem is inaccurate by a fact checker. Can I give you
just a brief kind of synopsis of what will happen if corporate America, corporate America,
you would think would believe in like crazy things like economic freedom and big R God-given
rights. They've abandoned us completely. Corporate America is all in with the radical left. Most of
them, not all, most of them.
Because they're afraid.
They're scared little children who think that the one percenters on Twitter who tweet to each other about social justice causes are really the majority of America.
Here's what's going to happen.
You'll be a member of whatever, some group, you know, change. You're a member of an energy group and
you want responsible, say, fossil fuel development where you think natural gas and nuclear is the
future because it reduces CO2 emissions. I'm using that example for a reason. Say you're in a group
like that. Facebook's now going to come and do what? The activists are pressuring to monitor that group, shut you down, fact check your private

What if you're a group that supports police officers?
What if the group is called whatever, facebook.com, defend the police, back the blue?
You're going to have Facebook fact checkers in your private group amongst police officers
if you're talking about facts and your own political beliefs about policing in America,
fact-checking and deleting groups like that?
Ladies and gentlemen,

Paul is singing for me in the background.
Joe's personal favorite.
So he loves that.
All right.
This is going to be, I'm sorry,
but I enjoy these segments.
I know they're not.
Joe says about the show,
everything you need to know in an hour.
Sometimes these aren't things you need to know,
but in an effort to break up the serious issues we talk about,
I mean,
we just got done with a lot of serious stuff,
right?
The fight,
election 2020,
abortion ruling the Supreme court.
I like to break up the show with a little bit of lightheartedness,
always provided for us by the imbeciles on the far left,
radical left,
who just provide constant content every single day.
First,
just let me go to this tweet by the Democrats who now apparently think Mount
Rushmore is a symbol of the white supremacist movement in the United States.
This is an actual tweet.
They deleted this.
This is the Democrat party.
It's not a joke.
It's a real tweet.
Trump has disrespected native communities time and time and time and time again.
He's attempted to limit their voting rights and block critical pandemic relief.
Now he's holding a rally glorifying white supremacy
at Mount Rushmore,
a region once sacred to tribal communities.
They deleted this monstrosity of a tweet.
I was unaware.
Did you see that advertised?
I did not see that, Joe,
from the White House's official account.
White supremacist rally, Mount Rushmore.
Did you catch that?
Did you see it?
I didn't.
Paula, did you see that?
Paula, I have not seen it either. Again, Mount Rushmore. Did you catch that? Did you see it? I didn't. Paula, did you see that? Paula, I have not seen it either.
Again, they're Democrats.
I put these up as a sad kind of tragic comedy.
You know, like the crying clown.
Everybody feels bad for him.
He's supposed to be happy.
It's like, it is.
It's just sad to watch.
This is really a disgusting, grotesque party.
And I'm embarrassed.
You know, I was on The Five yesterday
and I just laced into Andrew Cuomo.
And I said at one point that liberals have vibranium coated skulls and a lady put on my
Facebook, I'm offended. I voted Trump and I'm a Democrat. You offended me. I'm not talking about
you. I'm not, I'm not kidding. I'm not trying to take an edge off what I mean exactly what I said.
I'm talking about these radical leftists that have hijacked your party. And if you are serious
and you're a Democrat looking for change,
then it's up to you to say something too.
These are the idiots leaving your party.
They just put out a tweet suggesting that
Trump is advertising a white supremacist rally
at Mount Rushmore.
People actually believe that,
which says a lot about the IQs
of the people who believe this stupidity.
Now, the moron of the week,
again, it's only Tuesday, but it's over.'s this may be no what's today's date i can't be the month because it's june 30th
maybe we maybe we should play this tomorrow and on june uh july 1st we should have uh we should
have just rolled right through and said this is moron of the year award here's ryan liza um an
alleged journalist i say alleged because i think we all know the truth about him. He's at the press conference yesterday. He's obviously a liberal activist posing as a journalist.
And he asked Kayleigh McEnany what is unquestionably the dumbest question I have
heard this year so far at a presser. Listen to this phenomenal stupidity.
Does he believe, does President Trump believe that it was a good thing that the South lost the Civil War.
And then two, is he interested in following NASCAR's example and banning the Confederate flag at his own events?
Well, your first question is absolutely absurd.
He's proud of the United States of America.
Joe, you heard it, right?
Come on.
Seriously.
Is that right? Right. is that right right is that not
the dumbest I mean is this guy got
moron of the week he may get moron
of the month for July it hasn't even started yet
July hasn't even started I think we'll just do
let me just take a note July so we don't
we don't mess this up July
I'll put M
O M
moron of the month because I don't want to then
you know
annoy someone else
moron of the month
in July
that was a
pretend to be
obviously
I'm not even going to
call him a journalist
Ryan Liz
again asking the press secretary
who just
her answer is just priceless
like I'm not even going to
pay attention to whatever
you just said
because it was so dumb
is President Trump
upset
that the
the the south lost the
civil civil
like i said folks we can always break up the show with unintentional comedy from the radical um
here's one more article legal insurrection be up in the show notes today we love legal insurrection
such a great blog william jacobson by the way the founder of the blog under total attack from deranged lunatic leftists who hate him because he tells the truth
showing you again what a joke cancel culture is uh legal insurrection yale dismisses demands to
change its name following a cancel yale campaign by michael a chance at legal insurrection read
this article i want you to read it for one reason i want you to understand deeply embedded into your
soul woven through the fiber of your being what a joke and a fraud cancel culture is you don't you to read it for one reason. I want you to understand deeply, embedded into your soul,
woven through the fiber of your being, what a joke and a fraud cancel culture is. You know cancel culture, which says really when anyone the left doesn't like, conservatives, Republicans,
or even Democrats who don't tell the party line, said something in their past, a tweet from 10
years ago, a skit in a comedy act that was really in poor taste or whatever it was, or maybe not,
or whatever it may be. They just don't like it. They must be canceled, fired, humiliated,
terminated, you know, cancel culture. Some of you sadly have been victims of it.
Cancel culture for statues is any statue that has anything to do with the Confederacy and by
default slavery, those people have to be torn down too, which is fascinating because
Jesse Kelly, I have to hat tip him, a radio host, started this, did it kind of as a joke,
but it turned out to be something serious because the left is a joke. And of course,
they don't get it. He started this cancel Yale campaign. Why Yale? Because the namesake of Yale was a slave owner.
So just to be clear,
cancel culture frauds out there because you are,
you're all frauds.
And I think you know that it's why you wake up in the morning,
clawing at your faces,
screaming at the skies every day and putting your pink hats on.
You all know you're frauds.
If your principles and Joe,
I'm just asking a question again.
I'm just asking a question.
Sure. If your principles, and Joe, I'm just asking a question again. I'm just asking a question.
Sure.
If your principles are anything attached to the scar of slavery on this country must be canceled, forgotten about, and erased from history forever, then why are you not canceling Yale, renaming it?
It's named after a slave owner.
Joe, is it not a fair question?
That is a fair question, Dan. Yes dan yes thank you why not change the name i don't understand if we can change the name if cancel culture
wants to change the name of military bases that have been named that way for you know decades
because some of them have the names of confederate generals then why are we not canceling
yale's name too it's a slave owner he was a slave owner now his history is more complicated than
simply owning slaves but that's not that's not that's not the left's premise joe the left's
premise is we don't care if history is complicated if you owned a slave or lived in the south you're
bad and you must be erased from history that's
the that's their prep not mine that's it that's their premise i agree history is complicated
judging people in history by today's standards of civility and decency is a mistake because
you'll be cancered in 50 years as standards evolve again well. That's why it's called history.
We should embrace our history,
battle scars and everything, literally.
Literally battle scars,
not literally embrace.
You know, I hate the word literally
because it's literally overused the most.
But that's not what the left said.
The left said,
we're not talking about the complicated life of Mr.
Yale.
He was a slave owner,
but now they don't want to cancel Yale.
Matter of fact,
Yale,
a liberal university saying,
no,
no,
we're not going to get rid of her name.
Joe,
why would that be?
Why do you think that'd be?
Let me just suggest to you,
maybe Joe,
that the name Yale,
follow me here. All right,, is a very valuable signaling mechanism.
Let me ask you a question.
Let me ask you a question.
You think there may be a lot of money invested in those four letters?
I would say yes.
If you are a graduate of Yale, I'll ask you a simple question to show you what a powerful signal Yale is.
Those four letters.
Would you rather, and I got this from a podcast once talking about the signaling effect of higher
education in contrast to the training effect. No one let that overcomplicate things.
Would you rather go into a job interview if you were never going to be caught either way
for say a computer programmer, would you rather go in with all the skills of
computer programming and no education at all, a resume that says, whatever, I graduated with a GED,
or would you rather go into that interview, if you knew you could fake it and no one would ever
catch you, with a fake resume saying you graduated from Yale with a bachelor's degree in computer science,
but you didn't have the skills yet, what would you rather do?
Many of you would probably say, I'd rather go in with the degree from Yale and no skills,
rather than have the skills and no degree at all. Why? Because ladies and gentlemen,
higher education, sadly, has become largely a signaling mechanism.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the job skills you're going to have.
Listen, I went to graduate school twice.
I've got a BA, an MBA, and an MA.
And I got to tell you, I rarely, if ever, used any of those skills in the Secret Service.
The MBA I use now in business, to be fair, and I enjoyed my time in college and graduate
school.
I loved it.
But do you see my point, Joe, that the degree is just a signaling mechanism?
It's all it is.
It's a signal that says, hey, I'm smart.
I passed the test.
Right.
Yeah, but do you know anything related to the job?
I don't know.
Nobody.
Yale is an Ivy League school.
That's a big signal.
It's a bat signal.
Hey, I'm really smart.
If Yale had to change its name to Bag of Donuts University, all of a sudden, everybody's going
to be like, hey, no one's going to know Bag of Donuts University.
They only know Yale.
So interesting how when cancel culture affects the bottom line of a company whose goodwill
is all in the four letters of its name, a liberal university, who would be bankrupted by those four letters disappearing. Because now you'd have to tell
everyone you went to Bag of Donuts University rather than Yale, and they'd be confused.
All of a sudden, cancel culture's like, no, no, no, no, no. We're not interested in that anymore.
The cancel culture in Yale kids and everyone else are like, don't you dare change your name.
I paid a lot of money to say I graduated from Yale.
It's a signal.
I don't want to say Bag of Donuts University.
So just to be clear, attachment to slavery in the Confederacy has nothing to do with it.
It's just your pocketbook that matters.
Just to be clear on what your principles are.
I'm just asking.
I'm just asking a question.
You said it was about slavery.
A slave owner is the namesake of your school, which you proudly wear on your sweater.
Yale, go Yale.
Yale number one.
And yet all of a sudden, you don't care at all.
You'll wear the sweater.
You'll put the diploma on your wall.
That's the name of a slave owner.
You understand that, right?
Don't take my diploma.
I ain't putting bag of donuts university up there. I paid a hundred K for that Yale signal.
Taught me nothing about my job. Doesn't matter. It's a powerful signal.
Again, ladies and gentlemen, showing you what epic frauds these leftists are.
They don't give a damn about canceling anything.
They only give a damn about canceling you,
their political opponents.
This isn't based on any principle.
This is chaos.
This is moving towards the French Revolution.
Total chaos.
This is Salem witch trials.
That person a witch trials that person a witch
everybody's a witch
that's what's happening
read that article
on legal insurrection
they're all frauds folks
every single one of them
alright I got a lot more
one last sponsor today
again always appreciate
your patience
we got great sponsors here
my next story is important
I want to tell you about it
I'm telling you
I'm going to give you
some evidence about
a seismic shift
coming with the Democrats
that you're treading on very dangerous turf.
Don't go anywhere.
Final sponsor today, Helix Sleep.
We mentioned them before.
We're all for them.
Mention them again with their mattresses, which are great.
Helix Sleep makes personalized mattresses made here in America, shipped to your door,
free no contact delivery, free returns, and 100-night sleep trial.
We have two of these.
I had a friend over a little while ago.
I said, go use my daughter's room. She's not here. She has a Helix sleep mattress. He said,
where'd you get that mattress? Not a joke. He knows who he is. I said, Helix, they're great.
Choose a mattress by going to Helix sleep. They have a quiz. It takes two minutes to complete.
It matches your body type and sleep preferences to the perfect mattress for you. Why are you
buying a mattress for someone else? It doesn't make any sense. You're spending more money on
a mattress made for somebody else, not for you.
You like a mattress that's softer firm.
Sleep on your side or your back.
It all matters.
You sleep really hot like me?
With Helix, there's a specific mattress
for each and everybody's unique takes.
I took the quiz.
I was matched to a Midnight Luxe Helix mattress.
Helix mattress, we love it.
We love Helix here,
but you don't need to take my word for it.
Helix was awarded the number one
best overall mattress pick of 2020. They earned it by GQ, Wired Magazine, and Apartment Therapy. Just go to
helixsleep.com slash Dan. Take their two-minute quiz. They'll match you to a customized mattress

York City. Beats is good. Beats is good. Go take it today. Helixsleep.com slash Dan for up to $200
off your mattress order. Go today. You're going to love this mattress. I can personally vouch for
it. So can my daughter or husband. They love it too. All right, back to the show. So, you know, again, I was on the five yesterday.
I'll be on again today, Tuesday,
for those of you listening on delay.
So if it's Wednesday and you're listening a day late,
you already missed it, sorry.
But I enjoy that show.
Some healthy debates on there.
But I brought up yesterday how there's very few issues,
very few, which can switch entrenched ideologues from one party to the next. Very few.
There was a book out. I think it was Irving Kristol. I'm not sure. It's called The Political Brain. I read it a long time ago. I'm pretty sure it was the book.
And one of the premises of the book was that 40% of our population are basically dyed-in-the-wool leftists, 40% are on the right, and that only about 20% in the middle are persuadable.
So in other words, no matter what you do, you're not going to get those 40% to move.
He's probably right, that premise in the book.
And forgive me if I'm getting it wrong, I'm pretty sure I was that. But there are issues that can switch people from ideologues on either side. Like I am voting
Republican no matter what, diehard MAGA folks, or likewise, I'm a Bernie guy, Bernie bro, no matter
what, I'm never voting for a Republican. There are issues that can switch people. And ladies and
gentlemen, I made the point on the five yesterday, one of those issues is public safety.
and ladies and gentlemen I made the point on the five yesterday
one of those issues is public safety
when your safety is personally at risk
God forbid
and I mean that
I pray for you and your family
this does not happen
you were attacked
you lose someone
God forbid someone in your family is murdered
someone in your family succumbs to a drug addiction
that didn't have to happen
these are horrors
I would not wish
I am not kidding.
This is not a joke.
This is not funny on my worst enemy.
There's none of, there's nothing in my, I do not have a vindictive streak.
She says, ah, you voted, let it happen.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's, it's immoral.
I'm sorry.
Article in Breitbart today.
Check it out.
Be up in the show notes.
De Blasio, the communist mayor of New York City, is not kidding. This guy has completely lost it. He is Nero right now watching New York City burn.
Bill de Blasio confirms a $1 billion cut from the NYPD budget.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have no problem with fiscal frugality and finding savings everywhere,
Ladies and gentlemen, I have no problem with fiscal frugality and finding savings everywhere.
Pentagon's police departments, whatever.
That is not what this is about.
This is about defenestrating completely the New York City Police Department and open season now for criminals preying on you.
People will die because of this. I think let me correct myself again. I had to correct myself
on Hannity last night. Some of you saw it. People are dying now. More people will die
because of this position. It's not hyperbole. It's not drama. It's not intended for effect.
It is just a hard, painful fact. People will die because of this decision.
By the way, I'll get to this political safety thing in a minute. I'm going to show you,
because I talk about this story a lot and I've never given you the numbers.
I'm going to show you how people, public safety, when the threat hits their house
of danger on their front door, you can get even
the most dyed in the wool liberals to all of a sudden consider an alternative. Very hard with
taxes, regulations, social issues. It's very hard to change a liberal's mind. It is. With public
safety, maybe not so. Before I do that, though, I just want to show you how
anyone thinking that this decapitating our police departments
is some big winner, by the way,
and by the way, this is soft bigotry to believe this,
which the Democrats do.
Black voters will love this, as if black voters are automatons
that vote like a big robot.
Black voters will love this, no policing.
Really?
Because our friends at Rasmussen took a poll,
and it's
actually the opposite so i know a lot of leftists are soft bigots and they don't they they talk
about black voters as if they're all the same which is the very essence of a stereotype and
racism but we'll leave that for another day because it's leftist and we can go on all day
about their racism but here's rasmweet, at Rasmussen underscore poll.
Blacks, 67%, are most concerned
about public safety
where they live.
Wait, wait, wait.
Joe, am I reading this right?
So black voters,
black citizens,
67% of them
are the most concerned
about public safety
compared to 63% of whites
and 65% of other
minority Americans.
That's what it says.
Yeah.
That,
Oh,
thank you.
That's why I have Joe here.
It's not just his excellent audio engineering skills.
I need him as a fact checker.
My eyes are going,
I'm 45.
I'm rotting away slowly,
but surely I'm like,
am I reading this right?
Yeah.
So Democrats who've told us,
because again,
it's just soft bigotry.
If not open bigotry,
in many cases,
not all Democrats, but the radical left definitely.
No, no, this is a winner with black America.
Chop off the heads of the police,
get rid of the police, $1 billion cut.
That's not what the actual data says.
Good luck with that, Democrats.
Showing you how grossly they're politically miscalculating here
by thinking that we're going to cut police departments
and let criminals run wild.
And this is a winner.
Go 2020.
I can see the campaign signs now.
Democrats, 2020, rampant crime and chaos everywhere.
Vote for us.
Click line B.
Good luck with that one, fellas and ladies.
It's black voters who hate those decisions the most.
and ladies it's black voters who hate those decisions the most if you believe in polls which you know or data or anything like that which we know leftists have a difficult time with
i had to go to the absolutely dreaded wikipedia for this which is always a fake news propaganda
site but the one thing they do get accurate because they pull it from state boards of elections
are actual election results.
The only time you can use Wikipedia and be sure they're telling you the truth.
The rest of it's total colossal BS all the time.
All right.
I don't want to get Wikipedia's a joke, but I had to go.
So hat tip to Wikipedia.
I'm embarrassed to have to say that.
But here are a couple of elections.
I talk about this because I grew up in New York,
New York City. So New York City, Queens, Queens kid for a long time.
So you don't think public safety has the power to shift an election?
New York City was dominated by Democrats. Ed Koch, David Dinkins,
would it beam, a beam? Democrat mayors, radical leftists in the case of
David Dinkins. For decades, the city, ladies and gentlemen, in the 90s and the late 80s had
descended into total chaos. Listen to me, if you live there or you visited there, you know exactly
what I'm talking about time square was
a hellhole brooklyn and the bronx were shooting galleries thousands of people were being murdered
a year thousands more were being attacked everybody knew someone whose car was stolen
ladies and gentlemen remember the club paul and listen you younger folks that listen to my show you got to look this up
the clay it's not a club like you beat people with a club the club auto theft was so prevalent in New York City when we lived there everybody's car was stolen but did you have a car stolen
she yeah yeah her airbags they stole the airbags I had my car broken into they stole my backpack
I went to Queens College they stole my backpack it was a gap white gap back they stole my backpack. I went to Queens College. They stole my backpack. It was a gap, white gap back.
They stole it.
They threw it on the street next door,
stole everything out of my car.
Everybody knew someone who had a car some.
Everybody knew someone who was assaulted, robbed, or two,
but I discussed that yesterday.
Car theft was so rampant,
they built this device called the club,
which made your car,
you'd put it on the steering wheel,
impossible to steer if you stole it.
Auto theft was so prevalent,
everybody had the club. Notice you don't see the club anymore because we have actual law
enforcement in the last decade that did their job, and now car theft is relatively uncommon.
It got so bad, auto theft, that thieves learned how to get around the club.
They would take like a Freon or a freezing spray.
True story.
They would spray it on the lock,
hit the lock with a mallet,
throw the club off and drive the car away.
So what did people start doing?
Again, I'm not making this up. They started putting the club backwards
on the steering wheel.
So it faced the odometer and the speedometer
because it was more difficult
to reach around and hammer the
lock so then criminals figured out a way to hacksaw the club off so or what did they start
doing when they couldn't hacksaw the club off joe they would hacksaw the steering wheel and pull the
club through the hole in the steering wheel so what what happened next? They put out a product called the shield.
The shield was a metal shield that went over your steering wheel that the club went on
backwards.
So they couldn't saw through the steering wheel.
I'm not kidding.
Google it, go to the internet, go to duck, duck, go or Bing or wherever you search the
internet, the shield.
And this was real.
And the club, I had real, and the club.
I had the shield and the club, and cars still got stolen.
People got tired of it.
Auto insurance rates were through the roof.
Remember that, Paula?
Your car was worth $5,000.
Your auto insurance bill was seven grand a year.
Okay, I'm exaggerating a little bit, but not that far from the truth. My auto insurance bill for a Honda Civic Del Sol,
the car was probably not even worth seven grand, was $3,000 a year.
Whoa. Because everybody's car got stolen and the insurance companies couldn't pay anymore.
Finally, middle-class working Americans who were paying more for car insurance, they were paying for food, were like, hey, enough.
They had got tired of getting mugged.
On a very serious note, they got tired of their kids being drug addicts because drug pushers pushing them.
Paula used to have to cross the street walking to school in the Bronx because there were prostitutes and crackheads everywhere.
People got tired of it.
And this is the election result.
Let me show you first how it creeped over time and how people got generally more fed
up.
Let's go to the results from the 1989 mayor's election in New York City.
Rudy Giuliani lost to radical leftist David Dinkins.
He lost by a sliver, 50.4 for Dinkins, 50.4% of the vote
to 47.8. Now, keep in mind, the fact that Giuliani as a Republican even got close and only lost by
less than three points to Dinkins was an earthquake in New York politics. New York was two to one
Democrat. They hadn't even sniffed a Republican
mayor in a long time. Everybody was like, holy crikeys. That's crazy. But I think they thought
Giuliani was done. Ah, Dinkins is a liberal. We'll do liberal stuff. He'll fix everything up.
Well, that's not what happened. Dinkins tilted to the radical far left. The city descended into
absolute chaos, where if your car was stolen once a year,
it was now stolen once a week, and people in New York had had enough.
Look at what happened in the next mayor's election, four years later,
when Dinkins is running for re-election. Who wins? Giuliani, who went from 47% of the vote
to 50.9% of the vote to Dinkins 48 but giuliani still only wins by a
sliver gains about three four five points dinkins loses a few he slides by dinkins and everybody in
new york was like what a republican just won the mayorship like all right dan you're not really
proving your point that a lot of people shifted from Democrat to Republican over the public safety issue.
No, no, I'm not proving it yet.
Wait till I show you the next election.
So Giuliani gets in, 1993.
That's it.
The BS stops.
Cleans up the city almost overnight.
You take a leak in the street, you're going to jail.
Drink in the street, you're going to jail. Jump the turnstile, you're going to jail. We are going back to civility, law and order. You're dealing drugs on the corner, you're going to jail. You're carrying a gun, you're going to jail for a long time.
city after mayor Giuliani takes office, I'm not kidding, is almost overnight.
Now you say, nobody noticed that.
Come on.
They're Democrats, liberals.
They're dyed in the wool libs.
They're never going to listen to us.
They don't really look at the next election in 1997.
Oh, mayor Giuliani runs again and wins 57% of the vote to Democrat Ruth Messinger's 40%.
Wait, wait, keep that up a second.
So just to be clear, New York City, two to one registered Democrats to Republicans, if
not more, a Republican mayor who runs on law and order and cleans the city up, wins re-election
by 17 points?
Yes. That's exactly what I'm telling you i lived it i was a police
officer through it i was a cadet through it in their police department i remember every bit of it
i remember the precinct commanders from the new york city police department who for decades had
just been left alone to do
their own thing in their fiefdoms, being brought down to headquarters with Rudy Giuliani, with Jack
Maple, the first deputy commissioner of the NYPD, with Bill Bratton, the police commissioner.
I remember them being dragged down into police headquarters and those police commanders being
asked to respond to every single crime in
their neighborhood because now they were mapping everything on computer programs hey um commander
jones from the 75 precinct you have uh 1661s those are complaints when people come to the police
department and file a complaint you have 1661s filed about drug dealing on the corner of uh
whatever sutter and van cindren. What have you done?
We have fake sweat in here.
We need a spray bottle.
The commander, what do you mean?
What do you mean?
I haven't been asked that question in two decades.
No, no, you're being asked right now.
What the hell are you doing about it?
These commanders were sweating. They needed like, what do you wear?
Dove or degree or whatever.
24 hour protection.
They needed like to put the degree on their foreheads.
Get this aluminum zirconium to shut off the sweat glands.
They were like, uh, we didn't do anything.
Joe, I'm not kidding.
They would come back, these guys.
A little bit of a joke, but the commanding officer would leave
to go to Comstat the first time because they never made that mistake again.
They were used to Dinkins and Mayor Koch where they'd go there,
you know, have a cigar or whatever.
Hey, guys, how's things going in the precinct?
It's great.
We got crime totally under control.
You do?
Giuliani's like, I'm going to get some data together.
We'll see how much control you have it under.
Starts asking questions.
The CEO of the precinct would leave.
You'd watch him come back five hours later.
He'd have gray hair,
hair growing out of his nose and his ears.
And he'd have aged, you know, 25 years.
You'd be like, is that Commander Jones?
No, no, no, that's not Commander.
What happened?
Someone's impersonated Commander Jones
and stole his collar, brass, and his shield.
What the hell happened?
The answer is he went to Giuliani's CompStat meeting
and got his arse handed to him.
That's what happened.
And all of a sudden, they started cracking down.
And if you broke the law, shocker, you went to jail.
And if you stole a car, they started actually fingerprinting the car when it got recovered,
something they never did.
They're like, ah, it's just a stolen car, no big deal.
And then they'd catch the car thieves who were working for chop shops, who were stealing
the majority of the cars in New York City.
And car theft dropped by like 72 million percent in a year.
Save those three screenshots if you think I'm busting your, your, your rachis here.
When you clean things up and you run on law and order,
and you establish that business and personal behavior
are acceptable as long as it's legal in a city environment, you don't have to worry about getting
mugged, getting walked down the streets. You can change things. Now, I have to run, but one last
caveat to this. I showed you three elections because it took a long time, folks. That's 12-year
period over three elections,
obviously four-year mayor cycles. It's not going to happen overnight. The sad part about what I'm
telling you is it may have to get a lot worse before people realize, like they did eventually
with David Dinkins, that they'd made the wrong decision. I don't wish that on anyone. I don't
wish death or harm or injury on anyone. God forbid.
I'm just warning you.
It may have to get worse before people wake up.
And that new Rudy Giuliani era hits us.
Sad, but true.
All right.
