Episode Date: January 21, 2020

In this episode, I address the shocking video emerging from this prominent Democrats’ presidential campaign. I also address the latest on the probe into the Spygate scandal and the troubling information uncovered by John Durham. Finally, I address the humiliating face-plant by the media on the Virginia Second Amendment rally. News Picks: AOC is confused, AGAIN!   What’s happening in Virginia is only the beginning.    A “strong paper trail” has emerged which should have the Obama era Spygate plotters sweating.     The Spygate probe is heating up.    The impeachment sham is backfiring spectacularly for the Democrats.    Here is the chart that the Trump campaign should be plastered everywhere.   CNN promotes another ridiculous conspiracy theory.   Justice delayed is justice denied.    Copyright Dan Bongino All Rights Reserved.

one of the biggest face plants in modern political history, is getting worse for the Democrats. Now, folks, you can say, Dan, you're a conservative libertarian type. You're just saying that because you dislike the ideology of Adam Schiff and his loser brigade, Nancy Pelosiosi uh jerry nadler and otherwise no folks um yeah i do dislike them you're right about that that's not what the no i'm directing at but ladies and gentlemen the american people like to pick their own presidents and they like to remove their own presidents via this crazy thing joe called election son of a, you think the dopey, ridiculous,

totally out of touch Democrats would have caught on after the Clinton impeachment, which listen, I'm just being candid with you folks. I did not like everything Bill Clinton did. I obviously was not a supporter of his behavior in the White House. But as a strict tactical maneuver, the impeachment of Bill Clinton

and the subsequent loss in the Senate trial to remove him from office was a political disaster for the Republicans. Yep. It just was. Joe, us denying it makes us look like fools. Sure. President Clinton,

during the height of the impeachment hearing, you know what his approval rating was, folks? Take a stab at it. It was 73%. And Bill Clinton actually committed crimes. You would think

the Democrats, who were dumb as a box of pet rocks, maybe dumber, would have figured this out. They haven't, folks, because they're like bricks. They really are. Their neurons are not functioning. They hate this guy so much. They trot out the two biggest

losers on Capitol Hill. Jerry Nadler and Adam Schiff. You couldn't find anyone else, but these two zeros still desperately in front of the camera right now, desperately trying to sell people that we caught him now. You got nothing. You've got nothing.

Here's a piece of the Washington Examiner by our friend Paul Bernard showing you exactly what I'm talking about, ladies and gentlemen. Impeachment increasing support for Trump trump joe am i reading that wrong paula you too am i reading this wrong paula just checking no i'm not reading you're wrong that is the headline by paul bedard thank you i appreciate i need you to my eyes are you know i'm getting old everything's aren't working well anymore yeah impeachment is increasing support for trump paul bedard washington examiner the article will be in the show notes today. Please subscribe to our email list, Bongino.com slash newsletter. We will email you the best conservative articles of the day.

And BonginoReport.com features a lot of these too. Folks, what is an impeachment? And what is the subsequent Senate trial designed to do? It's not a criminal trial. It's not. It's a political trial right and everybody knows there is no crime there is no allegation of a crime does anybody remember during the farce impeachment hearings on the house side joe remember when they asked the republicans asked

all of the witnesses if you have any evidence of a crime the president committed worthy of impeachment raise your hand joe how many people raised their hand? Do you remember? None. I don't think. Zero. Zero. Yes. I'm sorry I caught you off guard.

Zero. None. No one. Nobody raised their hand. This was the first impeachment hearing in American history. No one actually has evidence to crime. Folks, that happened. To the liberals listening, I know, again, your skulls are seriously this thick,

leaving you one or two functioning neurons to keep your diaphragm working. And maybe your heart moving. I know the brain doesn't actually process information, but you do realize that when the witnesses for your impeachment were asked, if the president, president Trump, that is the president. I have to talk slow because these people are really dumb. you realize when the witnesses in your your witnesses adam schiff and

the democrats ran the impeachment not one witness could point to an actual crime worthy of impeachment you realize that right you understand i'm not making any of this up i could play the video but i don't want to bore my my smart listeners to death not including the liberals i'm sorry but it's true you understand that right that no one's been able to point to a crime here do we have a screenshot from that piece paul we do right from the paul bedard piece sorry forget what i screenshot not and i send over to it here from the paul bedard piece in its latest survey gallup gallup ladies and gentlemen the polling organization not gallup like a horse not some right-wing advocacy group gallup even said that the impeachment quote is increasing support for the president just as it

did for former president bill clinton 22 years ago the double deuce said Gallup as was the, as was, as was the case for Clinton. The impeachment of Trump has not had a noticeable effect on his popular support. In fact, for both presidents, impeachment had the opposite effect of increasing their public approval. Folks, I'm sorry, but I love this. I know it's bad. I know it. I get this. I know it's bad. I know it. I get it. I know it's not right.

And I know we should not celebrate the downfall of our enemies, our political enemies. I want to be clear. I know we shouldn't do that. But I'd be lying to you and I don't want to lie to you because I love my audience and our integrity and our authenticity matter. And I pride myself on that new show. I'm enjoying every bit of this. I know it's bad.

I know, but watching these idiots, ooh, face, plant, is just hysterical. They are so desperate that they are getting wrecked and owned at every single turn that they've got to trot out pencil neck every single time. The eyeballs. I mean, Tom Shalhoub does a better Adam Schiff than Adam Schiff does. You know, Tom Shalhoub from Fox.

Pee Wee Senior. This guy's a caricature of a human being. He's like a single-celled amoeba. They trot him out there thinking like he resonates with the American people. You know, folks, I was a working person my whole life. I was a painter. I worked in a cemetery. I stocked shelves in the supermarket.

I was a cop, then a Secret Service agent. I only got into doing this for a living a little while ago. Believe me, nobody knows the working man better than me. My brother's an electrician. My father was a plumber. My other brother was a mover before he went into the Secret Service himself. I understand. I've been there. My mother was a cashier you went into the secret service himself i i understand i've been there my mother was a cashier at a supermarket i get it believe me i get it yeah and i know joe

gets it probably more than me we've all been working believe me this guy's had his fans at everything yeah we're stiffs we've always been working stiffs do you really believe pencil neck in his dopey speeches about fake crimes adam ship do you really believe pencil neck in his dopey speeches about fake crimes adam ship do you really believe coal miners in west virginia and truckers in pennsylvania listen it's going that's my guy that's my guy not a shot do you really believe this come on joe and i talk to normal people i mean they're laughing we are laughing at you you You are hysterical. We are laughing. You are a joke. You are an unintended comedy act. You're an embarrassment.

And everybody knows it but you. It's the Truman Show here. Now, I want to hat tip newsbusters for this video. Here's a montage showing you how you're not the only embarrassment, Shiv, Pelosi, and Nadler. Although, believe me, it's pretty embarrassing. But you're not the only embarrassment shift Pelosi and Adler. Although you're, believe me, it's pretty embarrassing, but you're not the only ones. The media has totally humiliated themselves on this because the media can't get their story straight either. Again, hat tip newsbusters, Curtis Howe. I saw this video on his Twitter feed.

This is a montage of the media. Listen close. During the Clinton impeachment, it's important. So you understand you are dealing with people who have no integrity at all. This is the media on witnesses. Remember there was a, with the Clinton impeachment, they just wanted it over. They didn't want any witnesses. Now the media, because they hate Trump, now they want new witnesses in the Senate trial. They totally changed their tune from the Clinton trial. Why did they change their tune?

Obviously, folks, because they have no principles. And Clinton was a Democrat and so were the media. They're Democrat hacks. Listen to this montage of the media. And by the way, listen to the other part.

So first on witnesses how they're total hypocrites. And second, how they want to shut down how it's a total farce. But with this one, they love it. They think it's great

despite the fact they don't even have a crime. Check this out. The whole issue has been a sham. It shouldn't have gotten this far. The House acted improperly in passing it on to the Senate. Why is your party dragging this thing out? Why is this happening?

Why go through all this business about witnesses? Do we really need more witnesses? It's going to add months to this thing. We should stop this. This bogus, inflated case. And get on with the business of governance. Will these people just get down to business and leave this impeachment thing alone? It's going to be an enormous distraction to the White House and all kinds of issues that the Congress ought to be considering.

There's a long line of the people's business that seems to have been put aside and apparently is going to be put aside for weeks, if not months now. We begin tonight with the voice of the people. The visitor who got up and shouted, God Almighty, take the vote and get it over with. God Almighty, the man said, take the vote and get it over with. You know who the hero of this whole thing is? It's the guy who stood up in the Senate gallery last week and said, good God, vote and get over with this, will you? This process is Stalinist. His actions certainly do not warrant impeachment.

Is there or is there not some concern of the public perception in some quarters, not all of them Democratic, that this is in fact a kind of effort at a, quote, coup? That herd of managers from the House. I mean, frankly, all they were missing was white sheets. They were like night riders. One White House official told me today, in 20 years, he said, people will remember three things about this, that the president was impeached in the House, that he was acquitted in the Senate, and that the whole thing was a partisan hit job.

Just to be clear, to sum this little segment up here, Bill Clinton actually perjured himself and committed crimes. He perjured himself. Everybody knows it. Bill Clinton actually perjured himself and committed crimes. He perjured himself. Everybody knows it. Bill Clinton was impeached. It was a political fiasco for the, I've acknowledged that because we do facts here, unlike media people who do fake news. It was a fiasco for the Republicans, but the media at the time was clear to feed the idea that it was a fiasco with get it over with. It's a waste of everybody's time. Nobody's going to remember this. We don't need witnesses celebrating this guy. Take the vote already. Get this over with. Why? Because the media frauds. Bill Clinton was

a Democrat and they had to lick his boots and surgically attach their lips to Bill Clinton's ass. That's what they do. They're Democrats. Now on this impeachment, there is no crime. No witness has alleged the crime. No one has come forward with evidence of a crime. The articles of impeachment they submitted don't even include a crime. And the media loves it. They think it's the greatest thing ever.

No, no, we need witnesses, man. We need witnesses. You are total phonies. Total phonies. phonies complete frauds by the way one note i mean obviously i was not a big fan of eleanor cliff's politics but it does remind me being a kid i used to watch the mclaughlin group yeah and john mclaughlin yeah remember that show i mean that really reminds me of my child i used to love that show yeah i don't know it was so much fun to watch when I was a kid.

One final note on this, too. You want to play hardball? Cocaine Mitch strikes again. He did something you may have missed yesterday. Did you catch it? No, I missed it. He declared that it's going to begin the Senate impeachment trial today at 1 p.m. Eastern time. What is that?

Why would he do that? Because cocaine Mitch strikes again. I love this. Again, not a huge fan of mitch mcconnell all the time but sometimes he does he's lately he's i don't know what happened maybe he's on uh trt i don't know what's going on but there's something his his he's really his his political aggressiveness has gone through the roof i don't get it he starts at one p why jo? Because he gave each side basically 12 hours to make their case. So, Joe, if the case started at,

if they open the impeachment trial at 9 o'clock, like the Democrats want at 9 a.m. in the morning, what are you laughing at over there? 9 a.m. in the morning. Yeah. Well, what time then,

if it's 12 hours later, would it end? No, 9 in the evening. Yeah. Which is, in media broadcasting, what we would call, tell me if I'm correct, Joe, you've been in this business a long time.

We would call that prime time, correct? Yes, that's correct. Yes. Thank you. My media analyst. Mitch did something cool. He doesn't have to be the ombudsman for that. Well, sometimes.

He's actually a media professional. We would call that prime time. Yeah. Cocaine Mitch is like, nah, you can make your arguments at one in the morning. Thank you. Good shot, dude. I want to do it so bad. Those of you, because we're trying to keep it family friendly,

get what I'm doing. Yeah. If you want to see the visuals, youtube.com slash Bongino. You get it, what I'm doing. It's the double barrel. Nice job, Cocaine Mitch, who strikes again. You can make your arguments at 11 o'clock at night and 1 in the morning. Good for you.

One more thing. If we're going to call witnesses and the Democrats want witnesses, yeah, all right. It's a stupid move. But if they want it, oh, we'll give them witnesses. Here's my witness list. And you should call your senators promptly today, like Laura Ingraham suggested last night on her show, and she's right. She gave out the switchboard number. here's my witness list and you should call your senators promptly today like laura ingram

suggested last night on her show and she's right she gave out the switchboard number you should call your senator whatever state you live in today and you should demand that hunter biden obviously is on that list but joe what about nelly or she should be on the list too right i mean she claimed on the road she was getting information from ukrainian lawmakers used to target president trump sounds corrupt to me. Nellie or Nellie or better be on that list. Yeah, babe. What about Alexandra Chalupa?

The democratic operative, the demo, the Ukrainian embassy has already admitted she was soliciting information about Trump and a foreign collusion scandal. I'd like to see her too. So let's see Hunter. Let's see Nellie and let's see Alexandra. I'd like to see them up there too.

Call your center's office today and demand'd like to see them up there too. Call your center's office today and demand. We hear from them too. You want witnesses? We'll give you a witnesses. You take your witnesses. Well, and our witnesses do,

and we'll put them up at about six or seven o'clock. Well, you put your witnesses up at one in the morning. Oh, that's so rude and unfair. Really? Sorry. Not sorry. Don't care at all.

New rules, folks. We win. win you lose you want to be birds rhymes rhymes with hit we can play that game too i know your media allies oh this is so unfair we don't really care sorry damn that's so rude Yeah That's right It is I don't really care I said to you At the beginning of the show I have to be just candid

so the Durham probe Johnny D Johnny D. Johnny, who's John Durham? For those regular listeners, you already know. Some of you just tuned in today for the first time. John Durham is the federal investigator from the Department of Justice looking into the whole spying scandal on the Trump team.

He's assigned by Attorney General Barr. And apparently to our friend, Sarah Carter, has got a little scoop that Johnny D's probe is heating up. There's some people in a lot of trouble and she covers something that if you're a regular listener to the show, you already know about. But it's worth repeating today because she's kind of got the scoop. SarahCarter.com. It'll be up at our, was it SarahACarter.com? I'm not really sure.

It'll be up at the show notes regardless. Bongino.com again slash newsletter. We'll send this article to you. Headline, John Durham criminal probe gathers steamathers steam investigating wait post-election documents too so there are two scoops in this yeah yeah oh yeah sarah carter's got some really yeah i i i know she has some really good sources on this i'm sure of it let's go to scoop number one sco scoop ski number one first which you heard before but wait before we go to sky i know you're getting ready getting the trigger finger happy there before we go to i just want to cover this one thing i want to set this up before i get to this

snippet from sarah carter.com i just want to set it up first i told you joe you can vouch for me on this because i know you remember it because we talked about it off air. Okay. I told you about three, four months ago that the spying scandal on the Trump team is multi-layered, but it's really very simple. Did a political party spy on its opposition, President Trump, to gain political advantage using government intel assets? It's not hard to figure out. Now, there's a lot of nuance and layers in there. Who knew who?

Who was tied to who? How it involves Ukraine? How it involves Mike Flynn? And we covered that all last week. But the scandal is very simple to understand and don't ever forget it i remember the obama team spied on the trump team and lied about it simple as that okay now when you keep it 30 000 feet i said to you one of the biggest parts of the big scandal is that should really ring your bell is did you pay for it? Were taxpayer dollars used to pay a government spy to spy on President Trump? It is a shockingly, and I'm not kidding,

I'm even astounded by this because I know the media sucks. They're just really awful. But you would think at least one entrepreneurial media type would say, gosh, this has to be the scoop of a generation. How is it not? That taxpayer money was used to possibly pay a spy to spy on taxpayers choice for president Donald Trump. Like that's a crazy scam. And it's no one talks about it at all.

Well, Sarah Carter's picking up this piece. Now, to her first takeaway. Remember, she's talking about two big reveals. Durham probe expands to Pentagon. It's sarahacarter.com. First reported that Durham has expanded his investigation to include the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment. Oh, regular listeners are like, that ONA, Office of Net Assessment, those creep oh, regular listeners are like, that ONA, Office of Net Assessment,

those creepers, they keep coming up. They keep creeping into the storyline here. Well, what happened with the Office of Net Assessment and depending on, well, they contracted former FBI informant, Stefan Halper, who had contacts with four Trump campaign officials. The ONA awarded Halper multiple contracts

that totaled over $1 million. Whoa, this is an Austin Powers moment. $1 million, crazy time. DOJ Inspector General Horowitz's most recent report described interviews with FBI agents that said it was serendipitous, Joe, that Halper knew all the sources

in Crossfire Hurricane's investigation. The FBI agent said they couldn't believe their luck. They couldn't believe it that Halper had contacts with three of their four subjects, Carter Page Papadopoulos, as well as General Flynn. Crazy how that happens. One million dollars. Ladies and gentlemen, the Pentagon obviously is financed by you. The Office of Net Assessments is not a private capital-forming organization.

It is a government entity financed by you, taxpayers. Did you pay Halper to spy on the Trump team? Three or four members of the Trump team? That the FBI thought, whoa, my gosh, I can't believe this guy Halper knows all these people. Did you ever think to ask how he knew those people? Now, you may say, Dan, you've addressed that before. What's the new angle? Well, the new angle is that Durham may be a little hip to that.

And the new, new angle, which I'm going to add, which is not in Sarah Carter's report, but that I've heard may be part of it. I'm sure Sarah knows this. I'm not trying to take any kind of a shot at it at all. Sarah knows a lot too. Is who else was Halper getting money from? Folks, if this has proven these allegations,

by the way, that Halper was paid from the Office of Net Assessment is not an allegation. It's true. What he was paid for with your taxpayer dollars is still a semi-open question. If he was paid to spy on Trump and you paid for it

to engage in, at best, illicit government spying, at worst, illegal government spying, with your tax dollars, who else was paying him and why does that matter? Folks, as I said to you before, there's information in the dossier that fits a pattern of a lot of Halper's reporting.

If Halper had any role in that dossier used to spy on Trump, any role whatsoever, and Halper was also taking money from other entities doing political opposition research, ladies and gentlemen, the scandal of the century just became the scandalous scandal of the century, but a scandal on top of a scandal layered on top of another scandal buried in a scandalous mess. So now we have an FBI informant, a government spy. We're not going to play the leftist euphemism game. It was a spy, S-P-Y, being paid by your tax dollars to illicitly spy on the opposition candidate for the presidency, Donald Trump, into 27th, potentially into

his presidency here where other stuff is happening. And we find out that other money may have changed hands as well from political operations that were intertwined with this. I told you this was going to get hot, folks. If you're watching this show, you're way, way, you are at least three months ahead of the news cycle. Yep. Something else scooped by Sarah Carter,

which again, I've highlighted on this show. This one I highlighted when I was still living in my other house about seven months ago. But it's important from the Sarah Carter piece. Check this out. Quote, on Friday, Catherine Herridge,

reporter with CBS now, first reported that a, quote, strong paper trail of documents is being reviewed by John Durham. Pay attention to the time frame here, folks. Yeah. Quote, those documents span a time period from January of 2017. Notice President Trump is the president at that point, until May of 2017, just before the appointment of Special Counsel Bob Mueller.

However, Barr has already suggested at the expansive nature of Durham's probe in December and hinted at the discoveries. expansive nature of Durham's probe in December and hinted at the discoveries. And in October 2019, reports revealed that Durham had expanded the scope of his investigation and would investigate not only the origin of the probe into Trump's campaign, but also the post-election timeline. Whoa, what do we got here? Again, we did the intricacies and the timelines, and we weaved the characters together during our series of shows last week, which performed exceptionally well. Today, we're keeping it at 30,000 feet. Was the president spied on?

Yes. Were taxpayer dollars paid to the spy who spied on the president? Yes. Open question, was that spy paid specifically to spy on the president? We shall soon see. Was that spy also taking money from Hillary Clinton-funded political operation outlets? We will see that too. Now, what's this part about?

So Durham's uncovered a paper trail? Covering January to May? Donald Trump's the president at this point. It's 2017. Well, this opens up two big can of worms. Let's open up can of worms number one. Can of worms number one is if in January of 2017, the FBI knew their entire case for Russian collusion was bogus, which they did the latest January of 2017, then what the hell were DOJ officials and others like Rod Rosenstein,

who's no white knight, by the way. I don't care who tells you that. You can throw that theory right in the garbage right now. What the hell were Rod Rosenstein and others doing? Pushing to have a special counsel appointed to investigate Russian collusion they knew was a hoax. Did I miss something, folks? That's weird. So you know in January, while President Trump is the President of the United States, that your whole thing is a hoax. I'll get to how they know that in a minute. Most of you know this, but it's worth repeating now because this strong paper trail is something I heard about

a long time ago. If they know in January the case is bogus, the President's swearing in, why were they pushing to investigate a bogus case? Ladies and gentlemen, it's fairly obvious at this point. They thought they could build political capital through impeachment to get the president out of office. And once the president was out of office, they were praying they could intimidate Mike Pence or someone else to make this whole thing just go away. It's obvious. It was a race. Do you get what I'm saying? It was a race to the finish line. Big time. Get the president out of office was their finish line. Uncover Spygate is the president's finish line. The Democrats are hoping to get the president out of office and hit their

finish line before President Trump exposing what happened to him that a finish line's ever reached. Copy, copy. Now what happened? It's easy to figure out. What happened in January of 2017? And what is this strong paper trail? My sources are telling me and have told me in the past, they are unimpeachable sources, pun definitely intended. That in January of 2017, an interview happens, where there's documents on that interview,

maybe the strong paper trail, in January of 2017 with Christopher Steele sources. And the FBI knows conclusively at that point that the Steele dossier based on supposedly Steele subsources is all hooey. It's garbage. It's nonsense. Ladies and gentlemen,

it's a joke. It's a hoax. It's a fabricated rumor. It's a internet rumor. It's not even an internet rumor. It's a, it's a bad national inquire episode. It's a joke. It's a internet rumor. It's not even an internet rumor. It's a bad National Enquirer episode. It's a joke. And instead of getting in front of the American people and saying, listen, ladies and gentlemen, we were fooled. We apologize. We screwed up. It's time for reforms within the FBI. They doubled down and the DOJ wants to appoint a special counsel

to investigate what they already know is a hoax. Do you understand in January of 2017, the FBI interviewed people Steele was saying produced these allegations against Trump. They were using a spy on him. And the sources said, this is total garbage. It's made up. None of this happened. It's barroom talk.

Now, one more thing on this. I want to show you a quick video by Catherine Herridge. This is Catherine Herridge on CBS. She brings up something interesting too. Because not only, you're following me here, right, folks? January 2017, they all know, the FBI knows, everybody knows this case is a hoax. They know it.

Fact. Case closed. And they move forward anyway. This is fascinating because it ties into a story I covered yesterday with the Jim Comey investigation going on about the leak of the fake Russian intel to the New York Times. Do you notice the timeframe of that leak to the New York Times about the fake Russian intel he got baited into? He thought the email chain from the Democrats about them fixing the Clinton investigation

was the Russians had it. Turned out that most people believe it was fake. Did you notice he leaked that to the media in a very suspicious timeframe? Listen to Catherine Harridge tie it together. This is interesting. What's got my attention here is that based on recent reporting, what I've been able to learn is that John Durham, who is looking at the origins of the FBI Russia probe, as he's learned more information, he's refocused his aperture, if you will, and he's now drilling down on this time frame of January to May of 2017. And that would encapsulate the alleged leak in this case. And I was told he's doing this because the paper trail is so strong. And of course, if you do

proceed with any kind of criminal prosecution, the paper trail is so strong. And of course, if you do proceed with any kind of criminal prosecution, the paper trail really matters in terms of the evidence, Tanya. Absolutely. All right. Well, Catherine Herridge, thank you so much. You're welcome. Folks, Catherine Herridge is extremely well sourced in this investigation. She doesn't, Catherine's not known for hyperbole or drama. She's not, you know, what's his face? Jim acosta trying to perform on television she's an actual journalist who cares about facts nothing she says is by mistake do you notice how

she mentions how the time frame dorms investigating january of 2017 to may of 2017 how she notices it encapsulates the time comey's alleged to have leaked the fake russian intelligence to the new york times yeah now if it in fact is shown that Comey did do that leak, and listen, he's entitled to a justice like anyone else. I believe Jim Comey's sleazy, slimy, and one of the worst characters who's ever employed in the United States government, without a doubt. But if it is in fact proven that he leaked that fake Russian intelligence to the New York Times in that timeframe, You're starting to figure out

why he may have done that? Bell's going off? Oh, yeah. So, in January of 2017, Jim Comey at the, by the way, at the latest is sitting there with his FBI and DOJ counterparts, and they're sitting there like this.

We got a problem. What's the problem, Jim? We've been spying on the president of the united states this campaign now for the last year uh based on a russian collusion hoax now what do you mean hoax jim i thought this was real well we interviewed steel sources about the allegations and the dossier we used and we swore to in front of the FISA court. And the sources are telling us that this is all garbage. Oh boy, what do we do now? Well, now we better double down and get this president out of office

because once he finds out what happens to him, it's going to be a really, really bad story. So we got to make this all go away. Well, how do we do that? Well, we got to keep the media heat on the president that this Russian collusion thing is real. But Jim, you just said it wasn't real. Yeah, yeah, but that doesn't matter.

We got to pretend it's real still. Well, I got an idea. Jim probably goes back to his office, right? Calls up the New York Times. Hey, I've got some information the Russians may have had. The Trump team may have had it too. Oh my gosh. Now the media is like, collusion.

Now does the timeline make sense? Does the deviousness of this guy? I mean, what really? One of the worst people we have ever employed in a position of power in the United States government in the history of our country. If this allegation that he leaked it has proven to be correct, it makes perfect sense. He did it in the timeframe where the president's in office, they need to get him out, they need a special counsel, and they are losing the initiative because their sources

are all turning up flat on the Russian collusion they're promoting to the public. So what better way to turn public opinion against the president again by leaking more spurious fake information that the president is, in fact, working with the Russians when it's all nonsense? It makes perfect sense. There's no way Catherine Herridge brought that up randomly. No, no, no. She Harwich brought that up randomly. No. No. No.

No. She doesn't do that. All right. Today's show. Folks, I really appreciate your patience with the shows. Again, I'll explain to you in a few minutes what's going on. But I appreciate you supporting our sponsors. They really want to be here.

What do we got next? So, yesterday, the media did another hysterical face plant they had this just uh hysteria about the patriots who showed up in virginia to advocate remember this yeah the media oh my gosh it's like a white supremacy klu klux klan there's gonna be there everyone's gonna die it's gonna be a riot go this is terrible now the media which has never been more out of touch with the people they're supposed to be covering i saw that on twitter so i'm not trying to bogart it be a riot go this is terrible yeah now the media which has never been more out of touch with the people they're supposed to be covering i saw that on twitter so i'm not trying to bogart it from anyone but someone said on twitter i don't know who well maybe it was buck sexton i'm not sure

but somebody said has there ever been a point in american history where the media has been so out of touch with the actual people they're trying to report on never Never. They have no idea what's going on. Folks, I'm not kidding. I would have bet my, whatever amount of money I had in my wallet yesterday, I would have bet it hands down that nothing was going to happen at this rally. Why? Because Joe, me, and Paula, having run for office and been an activist before I got into doing talk radio and podcasting, have been to these rallies. Joe, remember the Second Amendment rally in Maryland?

Yeah, I do. You were down there. Of course I was down there. That's where I entered onto the map. I had that viral speech. I interviewed with Joe's radio station about that when he was at CBM. That's one of the times right after Joe and I had met.

I was at a Second Amendment rally giving a speech, and it went viral. It got like a couple million views. Yeah, it was good. Folks, they left the courtyard in front of the state house in Maryland. They left it cleaner when they arrived. Because what the media will never understand

is the entire essence of conservatism is the idea that we respect the big R God-given rights of everyone. Now, media people, let me give you a quick lecture from them. What that means is big R God-given rights, your right to life, liberty, your own pursuit of happiness, your right to assemble, your right to your religion, your right to defend yourself,

your right to petition the government, and the right of you to read a free and open and fair press. What that means as a conservative is I don't infringe on your rights. Bingo. Meaning I don't punch you in the face. I don't try to silence you with these rallies. If people show up at a second amendment rally and they want to say, I don't like the second amendment, nobody's going to beat you up there. The safest place in America is at a second amendment rally, a rally as was proven yesterday at the Virginia second amendment rally where literally tens of thousands of people

showed up. That's not a figurative number. And I'm, believe me, I'm erring on the low end to not be hyperbolic. The crowds were enormous. Yeah. And what happened yesterday was hyped by the media to be this black hole level apocalyptic catastrophe that was going to descend into like an open civil war in Virginia. You don't believe me? Hat tip newsbusters again. I had, by the way, folks, I had to cut this short. This montage is like a minute and 40 long. I had to cut it at roughly a minute.

What I'm trying to tell you is this goes on forever. I had to cut it at roughly a minute. What I'm trying to tell you is this goes on forever. This is the media yesterday predicting absolute chaos, showing again how totally out of touch with the real world these losers are. Check this out. Right now, thousands of gun rights activists, white nationalists, militia groups all swarming the Virginia state capitol.

There are a lot of people nervous about what's going to happen. Authorities in Richmond are on high alert. It could be a tense day. It's a polarization. What may happen in Virginia? Several hate groups. Supposedly some white nationalists. White nationalists.

White nationalists. White nationalists. White nationalist groups. White supremacists. White supremacists. White supremacists. White extremists. This entire rally stands in opposition to the meaning of this day. Virginia on the edge.

How concerned are you that there might be some people in this crowd that may want to get violent? There's certainly a lot of concern here. Raising fears of a dangerous confrontation. It could be violence. There is real concern there about what the intention is behind this. There's a lot of concern about the potential for violence. To spark violence. Tensions high in Virginia may cause violence there.

Northam clearly trying to avoid another Charlottesville. In Charlottesville, could see a repeat of what we saw in 2017 in Charlottesville. Similar to what we saw in Charlottesville.

Worrying about a repeat of Charlottesville. Oh, dude. Joe. Yeah. Joe, can you not? The disappointment when this was over

by the media. I'm not kidding. You have to, I'm not kidding. You have to. I'm on Twitter. I follow. I watch what liberal blue check marks are doing. The disappointment that the rally not only was diverse in celebration of our country and our rights. And that they left the place cleaner than when they got there.

The fact that nothing happened. They were so disappointed you know why because now they're stupid filthy disgusting narrative about the violent neanderthal deplorable creatures we all are who can't be trusted with guns and to assemble because it'll devolve into a civil war. Now they're embarrassed, Joe, because that's only at their rallies. Oh, yeah, your Antifa rallies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, those. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that only happens at your stuff.

The pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon. Yeah, yeah. What do we want, dead cops? Yeah, those, yeah, that's your rallies. Yeah, yeah, not ours. Yeah, that kind of bothers them Yeah. Yeah, not ours. Yeah, that kind of bothers them that you guys own the violence and the chaos, doesn't it? Doesn't that bother you?

Doesn't that bother you a little bit? Now, showing you what a horrible white supremacist rally this was. Here's a tweet from our good friend who does great work, Antonia Okafor, who, by the way, happens to be black. So, Joe, no one wants to go to a rally if you're black and it's a bunch of white supremacists. So Antonia Okafor, again, who happens to be black, that only matters to the left, by the way. Antonia Okafor is a strong woman. The melanin content of her skin matters not in this show at all. But liberals love that stuff.

So clearly, Joe, Joe, I'm just asking an honest question. Yeah, bro. If the media, these losers zero jerk wads yesterday in there, if that was true, clearly Antonio Okafor was definitely not welcome there. Taking her life in her hands.

Yeah. Definitely. That is an excellent point. She must have had security. How did she get through this rally? Well, here's a tweet by Antonia Okafor. I play her speech, but honestly, I don't have the time. She is at Antonia underscore Okafor.

This is the greatest tweet possibly in the history of humankind. This is so good. I'm going to read it for you. Again, Antonia Okafor happens to be black. She says, quote, hands down, quote, the worst white supremacist rally I've ever seen! Exclamation point. I mean, they let me speak and everything.

People shaking my hand and stuff. My gosh, what would MLK do if he saw all those people judging me by the content of my character instead of the color of my skin? Yes. Yes. Hallelujah. Great one.

I'm like crying here. This is it. That's the greatest tweet ever. Hands down, the worst white supremacist rally ever. A black woman at a white supremacist rally. People are shaking her hand and celebrating her speech and giving her a microphone. Here's the microphone. Please address us all.

The worst white supremacist rap. I can't take it. I can't take the stupid. Ladies and gentlemen, the most dangerous place in the world for you is around a group of liberals with a MAGA hat on. I'm not kidding. Liberals. I'm not kidding either. The safest place in the world for you too is at a Second Amendment rally full of patriots.

Let that sink in for a minute. I am not kidding. I was a security professional in my prior line of work. Great, who cares? I did security assessments. I'm telling you right now, the safest place on earth for the president or any liberal candidate to be, yes, for the presidency, the safest place on earth was that Second Amendment rally in Virginia. As Antonio Okafor said,

and you get a big salute from me today. Hands down the worst white supremacist rally she's ever seen. Folks, they even left it cleaner. There's some video playing in the background here. Yes, Second Amendment participants, supporters in the rally yesterday with trash bags. This is crazy. Listen to this guy in the background. with trash bags. This is crazy. Listen to this guy in the background.

Check this out. There's a video. Yes, if you want to check it out, youtube.com slash Bongino. Here's a video. You can hear it playing in the background. There it is. It's a birthday present for Ralph Northam.

You hear him? All right, here we go. I got some over here. Thank you, thank you. There's a video, shocking, of these violent white supremacist. The civil war was going to break out any minute with garbage bags, cleaning up the garbage they left behind. Unlike the environmentalists who show up in DC and leave their crap all

over the streets. Folks. That's not by the way, that's from a, what is it? Carolyn Weaver from a W wset who took the video that's a reporter she's like wow people with garbage bags cleaning up their garbage a totally unsurprising for a patriotic rally of conservatives by the way they do that all the time

but again i'm not knocking this woman who took the video i don't know her at all i don't know her politics i don't pretend to. But that fact, Joe, that conservatives left the area cleaner than when they got there is probably truly stunning to media losers and fake journalists trying to pretend they're covering the American people.

You're not. You're covering your caricature of the American people, which is false because you're morons and that's what you do all right i've got another video i want to get to um i want to get to tom elliott sweet and a little video from project veritas action but this ending of the show is going to be important so just stay with me for a couple minutes i'll try to get through this but

it matters uh finally one final sponsor today folks again it's been a busy day today's show by two by buddies at We the People Holster. They sent me a nice, what do they call these things? Coasters? I know. I'm so not cultured. I'm sorry, folks. I pretend to be.

So about the rally yesterday too,

just one final point here. Showing you how it's not only the liberal media that face plants and has really no basic comprehension of who the people are covering and what we stand for and who we actually are. They've none. They just hate you. Remember what I always say, folks.

We think liberals and the media are people with really bad ideas. Liberals in the media think you're people, really bad people with ideas. That's important. We think you're people with bad ideas. You think we're bad people with ideas. In other words, you don't care about ideas. You just think we're bad people. Right.

It's evident. It's the simplest way to phrase this. It's evidence of their company. we're bad people. Right. It's evident in their, it's the simplest way to phrase this. It's evidence of their company.

Here is one of the intellectual heavyweights of the Democrat movement. And believe me, I'm not messing with you. Like they really, me and Paula were talking this morning before the show. We're like, can you imagine how bereft of any principles

you have to have to find this person, AOC, to be the intellectual scion of your party. I'm not even sure what's worse, being AOC or following AOC. The stuff that emanates from her mouth is so stupid that it's really hard to comprehend. So Tom Elliott, who does good work on Twitter over there,

he highlighted a speech she gave yesterday and says, AOC contrasts today's gun rights march in Virginia and Richmond with protests against Eric Garner's killing. She doesn't even realize that this is a total self-owned AOC contrast today's gun rights march in Virginia and Richmond with protests against Eric Garner's killing. She doesn't even realize that this is a total self-owned AOC. AOC says, again, contrasting liberal protests, liberal-led protests with this conservative protest. She goes, well, why were there almost no police officers?

Despite the protesters flying Confederate flags and carrying semi-automatic weapons. Now, Joe gets it. Paula gets it. I get it. Do you understand how she totally facepalmed there? And she has no idea why? Why was the place not surrounded with police officers?

Because, ladies and gentlemen, as I just told you, when conservatives rally at Second Amendment rallies, there's zero history of violence whatsoever. Epidemic violence at these rallies. It doesn't happen. Don't you see how you're face planting here? Why do we need all these cops at liberal led rallies? Gee, I don't know. Why do we need all these cops at liberal led rallies? Gee, I don't know. Maybe somebody did a security assessment of past incidents at some of these rallies and figured there was a danger present.

Who? I'm just saying, folks, she doesn't even see how she face planted. Why do we need security at an Antifa rally, too? They don't have them at these Second Amendment rallies. And she thinks that's a knock on the cops. Oh, my gosh. This is one of the dumbest people in Congress. I'm sorry.

As I've said repeatedly, congratulations. You won a seat in Congress. It's very hard to do. I couldn't do it. It's tough. Stung. You now have the responsibility as one of 435 members of one of the most powerful bodies in the world to actually know stuff. The stuff you say is just, I'm not kidding. It is pure, unadulterated idiocy.

It's juvenile. You don't understand how this is a cell phone? Why do we have to be policed heavily and not the conservatives? And that's a knock on us? Joe. Joe. Yeah. For those of you missing this at home, youtube.com slash

Bongino. Hand, head, over the top. There it goes. Joe even added some wind sound to that. Thank you. Always good. Joe is like the Foley artist. You know, they put the little footprints and the footsteps in the shirt.

Joe added the background noise there. Now, there's a great, great article in the show notes from mises.org I'll put it up you really need to read this tonight it is worth your time again bongino.com slash newsletter please please read this I will send these articles to you every day

we will not spam your inbox I promise it's by a gentleman named Tho Bishop I'm sorry I've never It's by a gentleman named Tho Bishop. I'm sorry, I've never met the person before. It's Tho Bishop. Mises.org, Virginia is only the beginning. This is a wonderful article. And the top line takeaway from this article is this, that what's happening in Virginia now with this now rupture between patriotic, law-abiding, big R, God-given rights, respecting conservative Virginia, and big city slicker Virginia is going to be happening all over the country soon.

And the reason this is happening, ladies and gentlemen, is because citizens of Virginia who've lived there a long time, who candidly just want to be left alone. Let me run my business. Let me run my business. Let me run my family. Let me go to my church. Let me work for a living and let me protect my family if God forbid I need to. They just want to be left alone. The problem is, and I could say this because I grew up in the city, is the city slickers

who come in and move in Northern Virginia, which Joe knows well. He's from that area up in Maryland. Northern Virginia tends to be populated with a lot of liberals who move in and they're the city slickers. And we're going to tell those backyard deplorable hayseeds, oh, dummies down there. We're going to tell them how to live. No, you're not. They're not the dummies. You're going to see this get worse, folks.

Because you're seeing this happening in states all over the country where big cities are starting to dominate, increasingly subjugate a lot of their... Now, you may say, oh, well, listen, it's a vote like anything else. Ladies and gentlemen, the United States has always understood that we are not a direct democracy. Given that we have always been a system of regional and state interests, at the federal level, that's why we have the Electoral College. We have the schism between the state and the House of Representatives. We used to have the 17th Amendment, destroyed a lot of that, but you get where I'm going with that.

And the effort to get two senators from every state that obviously was imbued in our Constitution was an effort to preserve states' rights and regional interests. What I mean, folks, is people in Southern Virginia have different interests than people in the city. Those interests are constantly, Joe, being flushed down the toilet. The big city slickers just won't leave them alone. We need to take your guns in Southern Virginia. You people are too dumb to carry them.

No thanks. We'll pass on that. But thanks for your advice, Mr. Educated MBA MA guy. But that's advice, Mr. Educated MBA MA guy. Sam, but that's you too. Sorry. This is a great piece because it covers a theory I've had for a long time about not just that cities are starting to dominate their rural areas based on their pure numbers

and engage in the two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner analogy by taking away people's rights who just want to be left alone. You may ask yourself, why? Why is this happening? Why are places like Virginia, where people just want to be left alone, increasingly having their rights taken away by a bunch of city slickers who don't think they deserve rights? What is it about the cities? I've had this theory for a long time. Just in a couple of minutes, I who don't think they deserve rights. What is it about the cities? I've had this theory for a long time.

Just in a couple of minutes, I just want to explain this to you. First, folks, people who live in cities tend to rely a little bit more on social services. You live in a city, it's densely packed. I mean, Joe knows. He's traveled a lot. I lived in New York. You know, people take buses and trains because there's no parking spots anywhere. So a lot of people just choose not to buy cars.

Right. Sadly, a lot of those social services are inefficiently run by government, but people, because that's the only way it's ever been done, assume that's the only way it is. So what I'm saying, what I'm getting at is they rely on government, even though they've been forced to, and they don't realize there's an alternative. That free markets could run these trains, trains, planes, trains, and automobiles far more efficient than the government. But a lot of these folks don't know any better because they've never been exposed to anything different.

The MTA, the Port Authority in New York, all disasters. But that's all they know. So you live in a city, you come to rely on social services a little more. You come to rely on the police department where the police department is close. You can have a police department down the block from you in Manhattan and another one two blocks away.

That's not the case in rural America. Cops could be an hour away at some point. People have to learn to be a little more self-reliant. In cities, the government's kind of a nanny for you. So people become more liberal. Combine that with the crowd effect that people are tautologically in cities more congested and around each other more often.

You know, you don't want to be the outlier. So you're a Trump supporter. Maybe, you know, you're out with your friends on a Friday night in a bar. And, you bar and there's not a lot of Trump support. You don't want to cause a ruckus. So eventually, it becomes imbued into the ethos liberalism, maybe the de facto default position. So the reliance on social services, the crowd effects of being around your friends, cities tend to imbue people with these liberal values. And these liberal values are starting to imbue people with this almost tyrannical streak where they want to take away the rights of other people that are not living in the cities in the states but there's another point here that's worth

entertaining cities joe happen to have again we're talking about why cities are more liberal happen to have a more educated population and by educated i mean not educated i mean educated in the fact that they have the sheepskin diplomas, but a lot of them really aren't that bright. The education system has failed people. You know, the Thurston Howell education. So Mises.org, that piece I just pointed out, which I strongly encourage you to read, points out the fact that we actually have a reverse education system going on, where all the sheepskin holders with all the fancy diplomas live in the cities, and all the sheepskin holders are the ones that went to college and learned that the Soviet Union

was great. It was so fantastic. The gulags were wonderful. Socialism is great. It works everywhere because liberal college professors are largely idiots isolated from the real world when they teach things in the humanities. Largely, not all. So you have an educated population in the city that's as dumb as a box of rocks don't believe me project veritas action released this new video today of another bernie sanders supporter yet another one and i want you to pay particularly close attention to how this video ends and how this outrageous dopey silly aggressive bern aggressive Bernie Sanders supporter says he learned communism and socialism in the Soviet Union was so wonderful. Listen to this.

He attained the rich. I always said, you know, I'm a communist. I'm ready to start tearing bricks up and start fighting. I'm not afraid. I'm no cop, bro. I'll straight up get armed. I wanna swing on a chute and go train. I'm ready for the revolution, bro. I'm calling you. Guillotine the rich. So, can we just cease? Can we just dissolve the Senate House of Representatives, the Juniors and Branch, and have somebody like Bernie Sanders in a cabinet of people make all the decisions for the climate. I mean, I'm serious. Yeah. What will help is when we send all the Republicans to the re-education. Can you imagine Mitch McConnell? Oh God, he wouldn't survive a day.

Lindsey Graham. The gulags are founded as re-education communities. Right. The first gulag that was opened, have you heard about the Bellarmor Canal? People came from America to work on the Bellarmor Canal for the Soviet project, the communist project.

Wow. Beautiful name. That's awesome. And the gulags became a lot more political as they were going. It was a tool. It was like a boogeyman. You know what? We have more people in prison in this country right now Okay, so another bernie sanders field organizer um um according to the allegations in this recorded video here he makes uh wants to start beheading

people and take up arms notice he has a man bun by the way um good luck with that i don't think you'd get very far in your little semi-revolution there, Daddy-O. What's this guy's name, by the way? I mean, this guy, Martin or something? So Martin, with his man bun, wants to start a revolution, wants to start guillotine... That's just the Project Veritas action video. You can see it yourself, youtube.com

slash Magino. It's real. And Project Veritas action. Go check it out yourself. And he learned that the Soviet Union was wonderful. Where, Joe? In college, baby. I know the video is a little rough it's not joe's fault it's hidden video so the microphone's a little muffled but he goes on to talk about this canal project in russia yeah only 25 000 people died in forced labor camps but yeah that's right joe that's a perfect minimum wage job everybody should that's not that bad i mean canal projects where your chance of dying is roughly 75 sounds like a great gig to me. I wonder if OSHA was on that job.

He learned it in college. You want to know now why liberal cities with the educated group have become a bastion of stupidity and a black hole of ignorance trying to take away and subjugate the rights of others? Because they're dominated by morons like this who want to bring back the guillotine, take up arms with their man buns. Charge with your man buns, charge with your man bun. Yeah, good luck with that one. You'll get about two feet before like the Jocko Willicks of the world stop them. I'll take Jocko over Martin man bun any day of the week.

That's why. Read the piece in Mises.org. It's definitely worth your time. All right, folks. Thanks again. Really appreciate you tuning in. I will. Yeah, I should bring this up this up yeah i told you i'd say it uh so i said yesterday we had had a family emergency um thursday what we're gonna do folks i have uh something i have

It's going to be a really fascinating interview. Please watch it. It'll be on Thursday in lieu of our regular show. All the other shows will broadcast as normal,

Wednesday and Friday as well. But let me put up the picture. We lost my grandmother. She was 98. That's me and Paula, Agathachino, who I loved very much. And it was kind of unexpected. I know you may say, gosh, she was 98. How unexpected could that possibly be? But, um, I kid you not when, um, there's a picture of the family with her not that long ago, ironically, that was her, that was her at 97. Uh, they, my family took her to the doctor and the doctor said she was in fine health.

I know it sounds shocking, but it was very unexpected and doesn't make it any easier. I loved her to death. She was one of the finest women I ever met. She was from the greatest generation. Her husband, my grandfather, the greatest man I ever met, Frank Bongino, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, died about 20 years ago. And his last words to me in the hospital because he was sick and frail at the time were, Daniel, I don't want you

to see me like this. Please go. I'm sorry. I knew I couldn't get through that. The service will be on Thursday I had tweeted out the funeral home it's in Syosset, New York my family are all New Yorkers so I have to travel up on Thursday

but I will do a show tomorrow sorry, don't mean to crack on you we will be back on Friday and again, we will post the show on Thursday. It'll be the interview show with Tom Finn.
