Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.
Stacked, stacked news weekend again.
You know, Monday shows, I wake up in the morning, a cornucopia of information.
Don't you worry.
I've got it distilled down to like six or seven stories.
Folks, wall over it.
Trump's overseas right now at the G7 in France, knocking it out of the park.
He's doing a really good job over there.
All right.
Welcome to the Dan Bongino Show.
Producer Joe, how are you on this fine Monday?
Brother, I'm doing good.
I'm ready for that cornucopia full of information.
Cornucopia.
You like that?
Yeah, yeah.
Cornucopia.
S-A-T word.
Yeah, love that.
LSAT.
What are we going to do with this stuff?
You know, I took a course once, Verbal Advantage.
It was really good when I was younger.
I was embarrassed my vocabulary wasn't deeper when I was like in my late teens, early 20s.
I took this course.
It was great.
Best course ever.
Loved it.
I was always looking to improve myself.
And we should do, like this is like the Tony Robbins hour or whatever.
All right, listen, let me get to this because we got a stack show today.
Today's show brought to you by my buddies at WaxRx.
WaxRx has been a sponsor of mine for almost two years.
I love them.
Check this out.
This is how to clean your ears, folks.
WaxRx, this is how you do it.
Put the little nozzle in your ear, gentle stream of the cleansing fluid,
cleans out your ear, breaks up that hard ear wax.
You put a little cup underneath your ear, you would be stunned at what comes out.
We love this stuff.
We use it in my house.
Wax RX.
Don't clean your ears with those cotton swabs.
You're not supposed to stick those in your ear.
It even says it on the box.
It's for the outside of the ear.
Listen, Wax RX is not the sexiest product to talk about,
but I use it.
I used to get the ear wax out.
I had a big problem with ear wax buildup
in my prior line of work,
and now having to wear these earpieces all day.
When your ears aren't clean, they're really uncomfortable. They itch, they get painful.
A lot of you know the feeling. They get plugged up, making it harder to hear. Many people use
cotton swabs or cheap drugstore remedies to clean their ears, but they don't really do the job.
They can even be dangerous. Try the doctor-developed WaxRx earwash system. Even Walgreens
picked up WaxRx, right? It's just like the ones doctors, yeah, they did, use in the office. It can save you a trip, a copay, and it's just better. Try the WaxRx, right? Yeah. It's just like the ones doctors, yeah, they did. Use it in the office.

It's funny.
My wife just told me, don't put your head down.
And I just did that exact thing like this.
She's like, don't put your head down.
They won't be able to see your mouth.
I just did the exact.
I'm sorry, Paul.
I should take instructions from the producer of the show.
All right, let's get right to it.
So number one, story number one over the weekend.
Ding, ding, ding.
Joe Walsh, not even the most famous Joe Walsh in America.
Most of you have no idea who this guy is, thankfully.
This is one of those guys that knowing him makes your world worse.
Joe Walsh is a former Republican congressman from Illinois.
He's a really awful person.
I know Joe personally.
He's a terrible human being.
I'm not kidding.
He's really one of the most awful people I've ever met. Joe Walsh is now attempting to challenge Donald Trump for the Republican nomination for the
president, which is kind of a presidency, which is kind of a hysterical story.
Here's a story by our friend Fuzzy Slippers at Legal Insurrection, one term rep and radio
host Joe Walsh announced his primary challenge to Donald Trump.
Now, listen, I could bash on this guy all day.
He's really just a jerk. I mean, he constantly attacks bash on this guy all day. He's really just a jerk.
I mean, he constantly attacks me on Twitter for no reason.
It's not just that.
I mean, a lot of people attack me on Twitter
who are probably otherwise decent people
just don't know me.
And this guy's just not a good guy.
I've never found him to be a man
of any kind of character at all.
You can look up his history.
I'm not going to go into it.
It's, you know, on the show.
I'm not going to waste your time. but a couple of takeaways. Number one,
I know Walsh. He actually endorsed me when I ran for office. Now you say, well, gosh,
that sounds kind of weird. It did because after the endorsement, I kid you not, a number of people
up on the Hill who knew Walsh cautioned me to stay away from this guy. It's a true story.
I didn't know him. Of course, I took the endorsement.
He was a congressman.
I didn't know the guy from Adam.
I knew who he was based on his alleged conservatism.
But after that, people who knew him personally warned me,
get away from this guy.
Don't even take the endorsement.
That's a true story, by the way.
Wow, man.
A couple of other takeaways from this.
Yeah, this is when I met Joe, by the way, back during that run.
Couple of other takeaways from this.
Yeah, this one I met Joe, by the way, back during that run.
This is largely, at this point, an irrelevancy to the Trump campaign.
A waltz has got to organize.
Remember, folks, the election for the presidency is really the equivalent of 50 separate gubernatorial elections.
In other words, it's not a national election.
You say, of course it is.
You run it for president.
No, it's not.
It's an election nationally, but it's not a national election. You said, of course it is. You're running for president. No, it's not. It's an election nationally, but it's not a national election. It's really a series of 50 separate state elections. Obviously, we have the electoral college, but you have separate systems in each
state. And this is where I'm going with this. You have separate requirements to get on the ballot
in each state. Ladies and gentlemen, those requirements can be substantial. When I was in Maryland, I think it was Maryland that was easy. It was like $270 or something,
and you just go down to the board of elections and you get your name on the ballot. It's very
simple. That's why in Maryland, in these primaries, there's like 15, 20 people on the ballot often.
I mean, when I ran for the US Senate, I think there were 12 people running. Other states are
a little more complicated. Florida, where I ran, it was aS. Senate. I think there were 12 people running. Other states are a little more complicated.
Florida, where I ran, it was a pretty substantial sum of money to get on the ballot.
So Joe Walsh, what I'm getting at, is not a serious guy.
He's going to have to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, just to get started.
Ladies and gentlemen, I doubt that's going to happen. A couple other takeaways from this why joe walsh is
not you know we should always worry about this i always i always say like don't brush anything off
people brush trump off i'm not comparing this guy to trump this guy's again he's right now he's in
irrelevancy but you know it's always healthy to keep a little bit of anxiety about stuff keeps
you on your toes keeps you frosty but a couple of things to kind of just prove my point that at
least right now this this guy's,
you know,
the Trump team responded,
said literally whatever,
which is in that piece.
They're like,
yeah,
okay,
whatever.
Walsh.
One of the good parts about him running,
he's going to suck up a lot of Democrat airtime.
Walsh was be clowning himself on the media this weekend.
Notice those hits he did,
which he just kind of embarrassed himself.
We're all remember that he shows these media shows and CNN and MSNBC, folks, they're limited in time. If it's an hour show and 42, 45 minutes of
airtime and Joe Walsh is a one or two segment guy, that's one or two segments CNN doesn't have
a Democrat on. So one takeaway that's positive from that, another is, you know, any successful
challenge that does damage to a candidate in the primary side, whether you look at
Teddy Kennedy challenging Carter, you look at Reagan Ford, you look at Pat Buchanan,
George H. W. Bush, Those running on those flanks,
you have to be able to outflank someone
to the side of the party that's going to vote in the primary.
So ladies and gentlemen,
what I'm getting at is think about it, right?
Who is it that votes in Republican primaries?
Is it soft Republicans
who really aren't that interested in politics?
No, of course not.
It's really conservative and libertarian votes
and strong Republicans who believe enough
to go out there and pick the candidate.
Soft, you know, superficially related to politics people
generally don't show up in primaries.
That's why the turnout's so dramatically lower
for party folks based on the general.
The party folks I'm talking about.
If you measure both ways to get a fair sample size.
What I'm getting at here, ladies and gentlemen, is if you're not going to outflank him to the right, which you're not going to be able to do, Joe Walsh isn't going to be able to
do.
He's not.
What's he going to say?
I would nominate more conservative judges than Trump.
Good luck with that.
I would cut taxes even more.
You know, look at what Buchanan did to Bush.
Buchanan ran on basically the immigration issue trade
and really took a right-leaning path
that outflanked a relatively moderate candidate.
That's not, Pathway's not available to Walsh now.
So again, got to cover the story,
want to put it out there.
But rather than ranting against Walsh,
I'm just telling you he's not a good guy. i'm gonna put out there the pros and the cons the pros are gets
rid of democrat airtime can outflank us largely in relevancy the con of it is you really don't
want a guy out there trying to suck up republican donors and giving any space to this stuff but it
is america and he's perfectly entitled to you know this joe walsh guy he he just proves one thing the smoker you drink the player you get it's that simple i know the
audience will get that yeah i know the audience i get it i guess not even the most famous joe walsh
that was a joke on fox this weekend joe walsh of the eagles yeah it was a guy because he's not even
the most famous joe walsh which is actually pretty funny i think there's a joe walsh who lives in my
neighborhood who's got a bigger following
than Joe Walsh, former Republican congressman.
All right.
Got a stack showing.

All right, moving on.
So Trump right now is talking with Emmanuel Macron of France.
There's a presser going on right now.
He's over there at the G7 in France. There's a presser going on right now. He's over there at the G7 in France. And I did
an appearance on Fox and Friends this morning. A lot of you watch it on Monday morning. Some of
you don't. And I stress the point that one of the things about Trump that I think is undeniable,
you may not like him. That's fine. Again, I'm a supporter of the president. I think he's been
strongly conservative. But one of the things you can can't deny about him even if you are in a political or ideological
opponent of him is he just is like a bull in a china shop um and i don't mean that in a bad way
at all i mean it in a very complimentary kind of laudatory fashion uh and not in a golden calf way
but folks again in my prior line of work,
I don't want to keep talking about it. I hate to do that, but it's important.
I spent a lot of time at UNs,
the United Nations gatherings,
General Assembly gatherings,
things like the G7, ASEAN, these conferences.
Where did I went to one in Trinidad?
I can't even remember all of them.
Association of some, really,
they all blend in after a while.
I don't want to kind of sound ignorant about it. I just don't even remember all of them. Association of some, I really, I, they all blend in after a while. I'm just,
I don't want to kind of sound ignorant about it. I just don't remember them all. They really blend in.
And after 12 years of traveling around the world with three different
administrations,
the way these things work is you go over to the G7,
a gathering of these powerful seven countries and everybody does what Joe,
as I said it on Fox this morning,
it's the crumpets and the
tea and the back slapping and the selfies and they put out a statement we're committed to world peace
and it's like oh great we're you know everybody's equal yes we already know that okay great we should
all fight for it what does that mean i get Like, what are we doing to make that happen?
What is this world?
What are we actually doing?
You get what I'm saying?
Like, folks, I'm telling you, the behind the scenes of these things are even worse.
It is a big back-slapping session where everybody sits there and prepares for their job after
politics.
What are you doing afterwards?
I'm going to be a consultant.
Okay, you're starting a company.
It's a big joke. trump doesn't do that he goes there and he wants business to get done business business
he doesn't want to mess around so we have two stories this week and i'm sitting around this
weekend we have first the wall street journal ran a piece trump seeks to ease tensions with china
president said the u.s negotiations with China were much more meaningful than at any time.
Again, the Chinese economy has been taking advantage of us forever through intellectual property theft and other things.
But the point is, and quickly, because I got a lot to get to, Trump went over there not to around with China.
He went over there to get some business done.
You guys want to chat or what?
And he held the Chinese to account.
He put out a statement
the media went crazy about.
He was having second thoughts
about tariffs.
And then he said,
well, the second thoughts
about raising them higher.
All of a sudden, mysteriously, Joe,
the Chinese want to come back
to the table.
But this is an important takeaway.
What he's doing with China
is working.
Folks, he's backing them
into a corner
by turning allies, allies of us
and allies of China into allies of us and at least economic opponents of China. Check out this story
by IG, excuse me, by IG Review. That'll be in the show notes today. Trump hopes Congress will
vote soon on trade deal with Canada and Mexico. What does that have to do with China? Folks,
liberals won't get this.
A lot of you are shaking your heads in approval right now.
What was the big news out of the G7 this weekend that nobody saw coming, by the way?
Nobody.
I didn't report on it on this show
because I didn't know about it.
Either did a lot of other folks.
Trump agreed in principle to a big trade deal with Japan
that's going to be huge for our economy.
What does that story have to do with that?
Look what he's doing.
Instead of engaging in multilateral trade deals
like the TPP,
all of these countries at one time,
he's picking them off one by one.
Don't be surprised if you hear about a trade deal
with the United Kingdom soon as well.
And we're negotiating better deals,
which is doing what?
It's making China,
as an exporter to the United States of products,
increasingly over time,
it's going to make them irrelevant
because these trade deals with other countries
are going to shut off that trade channel
as a necessity
because we can get these products from elsewhere.
Right.
You know, if you only have one bagel store
in your neighborhood
and you're jonesing for a bagel,
they can pretty much charge you whatever they want.
If five or six new bagel stores open up, you just go shop there.
That's what we're doing.
We're not shopping in China because Trump is shutting off those trade routes.
Listen, I get it.
Fair enough.
I'm oversimplifying it a bit.
I get that.
But I'm trying to make the larger point here that his long game strategy is working.
Why do you think the Chinese are coming back
to the table to talk again?
Because they want to?
There's nothing more they want to do
than to crush our economy and Trump
on the long game.
They need us in the short game.
And he's not letting it happen.
One more quick thing on this
I want to address with China
because we don't do a lot of foreign policy in the show.
There's always so much going on domestically.
Two major miscalculations made by prior administrations on China that are catching up to us now.
Takeaway number one, we thought when China entered the World Trade Organization that
China was going to become a sensible, more responsible global actor when it comes to
trade.
That turned out to be a catastrophic miscalculation through Democrat and Republican administrations.
The idea was that, Joe, when they entered the World Trade Organization, they were going
to follow the rules.
They threw the rules out the window and basically hollowed out our manufacturing base and did
what they could to manipulate their currency, steal our IP, engage in manipulative government procurement.
The Chinese entering the WTO did nothing to tame them.
You get that?
That was a major miscalculation by both parties.
I'm telling you, they thought they were brilliant.
Secondly, the idea was that more markets in China would bring about more economic freedom and a yearning for freedom.
That's not what's
happened either. As the socialist Chinese economy has tried to liberalize around the edges a little
bit, we have the world's largest surveillance state emerging and look what's happening in Hong
Kong. Trump sees that. Again, I'm not golden caffing the guy. Tariffs are not a good thing.
They're only good as a short-term weapon. Over time, they will do damage. But Trump gets the long game with China, whereas a lot of politicians have completely failed,
and it's been very disappointing. He's encircling them right now with this strategy. The new deal
with Canada and Mexico, deals with the UK, the deal with Japan announced this weekend,
expanding our trade with South America, expanding our trade with South Korea. These are ways to
isolate the Chinese economy.
Very important.
Don't neglect what he's doing.
Okay.
Really, it was a stacked news weekend, so I'm trying to triage my stories, but we can get to.
This guy is becoming a personal favorite of mine, Ken Cuccinelli.
So, Ken Cuccinelli, who is one of Trump's immigration honchos out there, and he's been doing a lot of media has just been going on to these liberal networks like cnn msnbc and just
isn't anthony the host now i i you know uh full disclosure i know ken we're not personal friends
but we were uh uh you know i ran for office he had showed up in an event i know we've spoken
again i am out of i just want to put that out there.
So there's no, we're not doing CNN stuff.
But he was on CNN, meaning not disclosing the true intent of what they're doing.
I like Ken.
He was on CNN, and Allison Camerata, who has become a total leftist on CNN,
tries to basically hole him into a narrative that's just not true.
And Cuccinelli's having none of it.
But before we play the cut, I want you to pay particular attention to two points here
so you understand what's happening.
Camerata's about to show Ken Cuccinelli on the screen pictures of a facility with chain-link fencing.
She's going to paint the narrative, this is a Trump thing,
and she's trying to paint the narrative. This is a Trump thing. And she's trying to paint the narrative as well,
that this is a long-term situation
for these people who are being held.
You'll get what I mean in a minute.
Play this cut.
Watch Cuccinelli stop her right in her tracks.
This is awesome.
The problem was the inability to hold families,
detain families more than 20 days.
And now we can hold them until their whole court
situation is resolved. And historically, that took about 50 days. Right. Okay. But nowadays,
it can take years. That is not how it worked when this was being conducted with families.
Understood. But I'm just saying the problem now that we've been confronting. And realize one of
the dangers that was going on was that 30% of the children in the pilot
programs we were finding were being recycled. They were being trafficked. This became a ticket
to bring children, became a ticket to get into the United States because you had to be released
within 20 days. This protects children. I mean, okay, on one level, it protects children, but it also exposes children to the overcrowding.
I mean, here's some of the B-roll.
We've been playing it for months.
We've been seeing this for months.
Lawmakers have been going to the border for months.
Yeah, I assume the B-roll you're showing.
Hold on one second.
Here it is, as you can see.
Yeah, I know you don't want real answers.
I know you don't want truth.
You want your narrative to go, but I'm not going to sit back and take that.
Mr. Cuccinelli, I want to be able to get a question out.
I guarantee you they're border agents.
Those are border agents in these cages right here?
Are the pictures of the border patrol, are those border patrol facilities?
Yes.
I can't see them.
These are border patrol facilities with overcrowding and not enough room for people inside these cages.
And now children will be held there indefinitely.
So we don't use cages.
We use the facilities built in the 1990s and with the last administration.
So if you want to characterize it that way, just everyone watching should know you're pushing a narrative.
Well, you're calling it a different word.
Mr. Kuchinale.
Red card. Red card. You're. Cuccinelli. Red card.
Red card.
You're thrown out of the game.
Red card.
You are out of the game.
The verdict is in.
You got owned by Ken Cuccinelli.
That was just expert.
I mean, like, platinum level response.
Let me explain to you what went on there and why cuccinelli is so
good at this number one ladies and gentlemen he asks her now i i'm having done tv and going by
the way thank you to everyone who tuned in for me on hannity friday you all are awesome really
appreciate we'll have the ratings later in the day but having now guest hosted a bit on both
sides of the camera i i know how this works
ken cucinelli asks her again trump's immigration official are those border patrol officers in the
picture in the b-roll you're showing that video of the cages air quotes right and clearly you can
see she's like are she repeats the question because she doesn't know the answer she's like
are they border patrol officers and someone in her ear is clearly saying joe you know this radio
they're like yeah yeah it's border patrol so she knows so she's not totally humiliating why why is
that important folks tell them why it's important there we go because the border patrol facilities
those people are being held in are only temporary they They're only there because Alison Camerota in the beginning of the segment,
notice what she said,
follow the,
her,
her logic is completely.
She's telling you a fairy tale.
She says,
well,
these kids are helping.
They could be held there for years.
Not in those facilities.
You are transferred.
If you are being held longterm from border facility,
border patrol facilities to ice facilities that are
completely different.
There aren't the chain link fences that Obama built.
There's none of that.
A lot of these places, they showed it on Fox.
A lot of them have video games, chow halls.
Some of the facilities are nicer than some of the prisons we have.
Remember, some of these people broke the law to come here.
They're making it up.
So that's why Cuccinelli nails her to the wall
and goes, wait, are those Border Patrol officers
in the B-roll you're playing?
In her ear, she's like, yes, yes they are.
And he's like, nice, because what you're showing
are temporary detention facilities.
You're not showing the long-term facilities.
You're alleging we're holding these people in.
Of course she's puzzled because she doesn't know
any of the facts, unsurprisingly so.
And then secondly, he points out again, I'm sure you're showing cages, right? Yes. Those cages
were built by the Obama administration, not by the Trump administration. We're using the facilities
they put up in advance. Again, expert, expert level work by a really, really good representative
for the Trump administration, Ken Cucc nice job again uh um i'm gonna put
that up i think it's media research center or newsbusters i have the article up hat tip to them
in the show notes today where you can check out that whole segment it goes on a little longer
um it's really good it's definitely worth your time all right i want here's what i got coming
up he got us let's go to spot he got us good yeah exactly that's what happened you know the
behind the scenes haven't been in radio it It's like, move on quickly to a different question.
I promised you on Friday I was going to get to the John Solomon piece.
I'm trying to shake some trees over the weekend.
A little bit of stuff.
But this John Solomon piece is important.
And I've got some Brian Stelter video,
more just horrendously bad Brian Stelter video,
where he completely fails to create.
Oh, my goodness.
And I've got an Antifa video too.
It appears that they have finally tangoed with the wrong guy in Paris or whatever.
Well, they weren't in Paris.
Tango up is a joke.
But yeah, don't miss this video.
That was good.
All right, today's show also brought to you by-

Okay, let's get to the Solomon piece.
I said I'd get to it on Friday, and it's, again, a busy news day, so I want to spend
some time on this one.
John Solomon in the Hill.
I have this up in the show notes, and it's an important piece, folks.
Again, there are two key takeaways from this piece I want you to understand.
Title of the piece, The Road Not Taken,
Another FBI Failure Involving the Clinton Surfaces.
Here's the core takeaways from this piece.
You know what?
Just put up the snippet.
I'll read it from the piece itself so you understand what's going on.
This is from,
we've been told,
keep that up for a second.
We have been told repeatedly
by liberals and the media
and liberal activists in the media
that the IG report
said there was no,
I'm just going to read that,
that the IG report
said there was no political bias
in the Clinton probe and in the Trump spy gate investigation.
Ladies and gentlemen, that is not true.
I'm going to show you in a second, put that back up again, how this relates to the Solomon piece.
This was from the actual IG report.
In assessing the decision to prioritize the Russia probe over following up on the mid-year related investigative lead,
that's the Clinton case, we were particularly concerned about the text messages
sent by Stroke and Page
that potentially indicated or created the appearance
that investigative decisions they made
were impacted by bias or improper considerations,
the IG wrote.
You get that?
Okay.
That's important to set up this piece
and what Solomon's saying.
The IG, Inspector General, that investigated the Clinton email case get that okay it's important to set up this piece and what solomon's saying the ig inspector general
that investigated the clinton email case did not say there was no political bias he said the opposite
that the decision to shelve the clinton case and move on to spying on trump he could not determine
there wasn't political bias involved that's a quote ladies and gentlemen whether you you know
if you can read or not on the left that's your problem not mine but that's a quote from the actual piece i'm sorry if that quote bothers you
but what you're telling us oh there was no political bias eig said so is factually inaccurate
why does that matter because according to solomon and please read the piece in the show notes
there was a key piece of extremely sensitive this this is important, extremely sensitive information in that Clinton
probe classified at the highest levels that they wanted to get access to, to look at,
and that the FBI basically ignored in their evaluation of whether Mrs. Clinton, Hillary
Clinton should have been charged. I'm going to get to what that is there in a second.
should have been charged. I'm going to get to what that is there in a second. Now, folks,
this is important. You know what? Let me get to that next. I did this in reverse. I put the piece up first. I was going to do it a different order, but I just wanted to set that up. So
forgive me there. What is that key piece of classified information and why does it matter?
This is something I think you're only going to hear on this show and have only heard on this show.
And I wish it weren't proprietary.
I wish more people would pick up and run with this story.
I've been shaking some trees and my, again, I want to be fair.
I'm speculating a bit here.
I don't have the hard proof I need, but I know what I'm saying has some basis in the facts surrounding the case.
That key chunk of information may in fact be the president of the United States at the
time, Barack Obama's communications with Hillary Clinton.
Now we know, here's what we know.
This is not speculation.
We know Hillary Clinton was emailing the president of the United States at the time, Barack Obama,
from a personal email account without the government security firewall set up. It was a personal email. It was
not the state.gov account. It was a Clinton email account, private server, private security on it,
not up to government standards. We know she was emailing the president. Why is that a problem?
Number one, what was she emailing the president is significant if
she's emailing the president united states joe the chances are the conversation is classified by
default having said that why does this create political problems remember this is why i had
to do it in reverse i was going to do it in a different order this is why i started off this
segment by showing you that the inspector general has not eliminated political
bias for the fbi saying hey let's not look at the hillary case let's look at trump instead
the left wants you to believe that happened what do i think he's really getting at
folks the political problem for the left that the fbi may have ignored at the upper levels by
shelving the clinton email case i don't believe was done exclusively to protect Hillary. Wait, what? What do you mean?
It was Hillary's email. It was. But folks, I don't believe Hillary was a big favorite of anyone.
I think what was being done was an effort to protect the Justice Department and President
Obama. Because remember, if Hillary was emailing Barack Obama, Barack Obama was on the record in
an interview you can all see on YouTube,
saying he found out
about Hillary Clinton's personal email. Where?
From the media.
Huh?
Huh?
We have to be...
Oh, yellow card.
Yellow card. Thank you. Yellow card's up.
Yellow card. Folks,
that's not possible. Two yellow cards and Yellow card. Folks, that's not possible.
Two yellow cards and then you get a red.
That's not possible.
That's not possible if Barack Obama was getting emails from Hillary Clinton's personal email.
Now, Mason, what do you mean you've only heard that on this show?
I've heard that elsewhere.
No, no.
Let's go to step two.
Obama's got some plausible deniability, right, Joe?
He could say, I don't know, someone just put a email in my BlackBerry.
All I saw was Hillary Clinton.
Really?
Because, ladies and gentlemen, the president's BlackBerry and that communication system is pretty much dictated the security specs
by WACA, the White House Communications Agency,
which has significant military input.
Folks, in order to get a private email as the president of the United States in his Blackberry,
I assure you that email had to be whitelisted, meaning put on a list of acceptable emails.
So the president's not sent a bunch of phishing emails or Trojan viruses.
Somebody had to whitelist Hillary's email, meaning, ladies and gentlemen, this,
that Obama's story that he found out about Hillary's email through the media, while someone in the White House had to tell WACA to whitelist her email so she could email Obama on private said email, is a BS story of the highest order.
The verdict on that? Guilty as charged. BS alert. No chance what he's saying is true.
B.S. alert. No chance what he's saying is true.
Again, that that part is all fact.
The speculation is is because I don't know.
Solomon's saying it was a piece of classified information the FBI ignored.
I can mean anything.
My guess is that that is one of the major portions of this that the bureau should have taken into account that they didn't when they shelved their Clinton case and moved on to the Trump case.
Again, that's something, that whitelisting argument,
you're not hearing anywhere else but this show.
There is no way Obama didn't know.
He had to order someone at the upper levels of the White House staff to tell the WACA people
to whitelist that email.
Don't forget that.
You're going to hear about that again.
Okay, here we go.
Let's get to this Antifa video.
You know, they just picked the wrong guy.
They really did.
They just picked the wrong guy here.
So there's a little bit of cursing in this.
Joe was kind enough to bleep it out.
But let me give you some background.
So Antifa tries to block traffic.
Okay, by the way, the story's up in American Greatness,
which will be in the show notes today if you want to read the whole article by deborah hein angry father confronts antifa
agitators blocking the street in bloomington after they make his children cry folks this has been
before i play the videos a little couple bleeps in here don't worry it's family friendly the bleep
bleeps out the cussing but uh for those of you not watching the video youtube.com slash bongino i'll
describe it to you you can hear it in video. You're hearing a confrontation between a crowd of Antifa people, and his father's got his
kids in the car, and the father is the one telling him, get the, mm, out of the street.
So you can kind of hear what's going on.
But I've warned over and over.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's not virtue signaling at all.
I hate, I can't stand when people do that.
Yeah.
I'm just telling you, I'm an inherently nonviolent guy.
I mean that i just i just don't see it as a productive way outside of self-defense to solve
political debates listen sometimes it's been necessary the civil war our revolution i get that
but it should always be our last resort or enough of that now again i don't want to get like i'm not
trying to be preachy i'm just suggesting to you that it's not a good way to solve these things having said that folks antifa is going to pick the wrong guy eventually now
luckily this didn't end in any there was a little pushing and shoving but you know in any substantial
violence but nobody wants to see this and if antifa keeps pushing and pushing and pushing
you're gonna run into the wrong guy and And eventually something's going to happen that nobody wants to happen.
I'm just putting that out there now.
This is an anti-First Amendment group committed to speech suppression.
So check out this video.
Here's Antifa confronting this guy who is just clearly not having any of it.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on. Come on. Get your ass on the sidewalk.
He wanted to feel tough. He did.
Right. You have accomplished nothing
but looking like an asshole to your kids.
You're going to remember that.
Yeah.
Nice time away.
Fuck it. Sure.
Now, Joe was now joe was i didn't see it joe did but i sent him the video if you're watching the video one
of those guys has a fixed blade knife on his which is not a i mean i'm nothing wrong but if
you can listen you're antifa an anti-first amendment group i worry about these guys
carrying knives and weapons that you don't know what they're gonna do they're maniacs they're so
committed to anti-First
Amendment, anti-free speech, right?
Remember, we own the narrative now on Antifa.
We own it. But folks,
I can't emphasize this enough.
When you spend your life
around genuinely tough people,
I mean that.
I mean genuinely tough people. I'm not talking
about talkers. I'm talking about doers.
Yeah. Their tolerance
for BS can be high,
but once that red line is crossed,
there's not a lot of going back.
These guys and ladies out
there that...
I say ladies too because I'll tell you right now,
I can send you into my jujitsu school
down in Jupiter with a couple of women
and Antifa guys that will kick your
caboose and I give it
a minute or less. I'm not kidding. I would bet my right arm on it. Their tolerance for this kind of
behavior is high, but once that red line is crossed, there's no turning back. And I don't
think you understand how horrible real violence is. You know, the toughest people I know, military folks,
cops, you know, MMA fighters, people I've been around my entire life.
The one thing they don't want to do is fight, but if pushed against the wall, they will.
And the reason they don't want to fight, ladies and gentlemen, is because they do it all the time
and they understand the horrors of it. You know, for those of you who don't do this often,
when you've got a 200, 300-pound guy in side control on you
and he's got his shoulders shivved up against your chin
and you can't move and he's compressing your diaphragm
so you can't breathe, and you guys are doing, like, light,
not even real striking MMA.
And he's giving you a couple like love taps in the face
as you can't breathe
and there's snot coming out of your nose
on the side of a mat.
And you can't move.
It's a really horrible, awful feeling.
And that's one of the reasons
people who practice violence for a living,
fighters, soldiers,
avoid it at all costs.
Enough on that.
I'm just throwing that out there to these anti-First Amendment guys.
You are going to pick on the wrong guy, and this is going to end poorly for everyone.
That guy was having none of it.
Please check out the video, by the way, youtube.com slash Bungie.
At one point, he goes, take the mask off, and he flicks the guy's mask off, which is great.
Good for him.
All right.
Today's show, final sponsor.
We've got a lot of great sponsors who want to be on the show.
We appreciate you supporting our sponsors.
But I've got this Delta thing coming up in a second.
I'm sorry.
I've just got so many stories I want to get to.
Finally, SimpliSafe.
My choice for home security.
I was in the security business for a long time.
We love SimpliSafe.
SimpliSafe, according to studies, about 10% of break-ins are planned beforehand.
You know that?
The rest are spur of the moment.
Crimes of opportunity.
In other words, they're random.
Don't be one of those random victims.
July and August are when most burglaries occur.
What's crazy is only one in five homes have home security.
Come on, you got to have home security.
You ensure everything in your lives that matters.
Get security for your house.
Most companies don't make it that easy.
There's these long-term contracts.
The systems are hard to install.
SimpliSafe is easy to install.
They are simple to deal with, great customer service.
That's why SimpliSafe is my choice.
And by the way, my family as well, my mother-in-law uses it too.
Hands down, simple to use, easy to install, great customer service.
SimpliSafe protects every door, window, and room with 24-7 professional monitoring.
They make it easy on you. There's no contract. They don't need it. Their customer service is so
good, they don't need a contract to lock you in. It's their good business plan that locks you in.
You don't need a contract. No hidden fees, no fine print. It's won a ton of awards from CNET
to the New York Times Wirecutter. Prices are always fair and honest. Around-the-clock monitoring
is just $15 a month. But one thing that makes SimpliSafe stand, that is their video verification technology.
When other home security systems are triggered,
a lot of times police assume it's a false alarm
and the call goes to the bottom of the list.
I know, I was on the other side of that.
Not with SimpliSafe.
Using their video verification technology,
they're able to visually confirm
that the break-in is actually happening,
allowing police to get to the scene
3.5 times faster than other home security companies.

Okay, here's Brian Stelter.
Just a little feedback on Stelter from CNN.
I got a lot of feedback, and the show feedback matters a lot to me.
It does.
90% of people i love the rant
against i just i have a personal animosity towards brian stelter because of what he does to other
people and friends of mine in the business with no sense of self-reflection but about 10 percent
of you thought it went on a little long my rant again fair enough my rant against stelter on
friday i that's why we leave our email open this show is is for you. I love doing it, but it's for you.
And the point here is I really appreciate your feedback, pro and con.
Nothing wrong with that.
So thank you very much.
Having said that, showing you again why this guy is really a cancer in the media business.
He has a show called Reliable Sources.
That's not a joke.
That's the actual title of his show.
He was the coffee boy at CNN.
Now he has a show there where he is supposed to be
or he paints himself as the voice of reason critiquing other media people i want you to
watch a snippet of a segment on his show i know to contain your laughter this is a segment on his
show where he has a psychiatrist and alleged mental health professional on who makes one of
the most insane,
even Paula outside who was busy doing stuff,
she's like, is this real?
It's real.
Joe didn't doctor it.
We just edited it for time.
But it's a continuous thought.
This is a psychiatrist on his show called Reliable Sources
making one of the most ridiculous,
absurd claims on television I've ever seen.
And I want you to notice Stelter's response
or lack thereof.
Check this out. Calling Trump crazy hides the fact that we're crazy for having elected him
and even crazier for allowing his crazy policies to persist. Trump is as destructive a person in
this century as Hitler, Stalin and Mao were in the last century, he may be responsible for many more million deaths than they were.
He needs to be contained, but he needs to be contained by attacking his policies, not his person.
What the?
What was that?
Did you see?
By the way, when I said pay attention to Stelter's response, you're like, what?
I didn't hear anything.
You're not supposed to.
He didn't say anything.
He's sitting there.
If you're watching on the video,
you can see,
he gives like this dopey look,
but he doesn't even bother
to correct the guy.
Guys, ladies, listen.
You're going to go on CNN,
which, you know, I get it.
They have 10, 15 viewers
in an airport,
you know,
in the Tuscaloosa airport.
We love Tuscaloosa,
but they probably don't even have cnn on
out there you gotta correct that you can't let a guy go on the air and say trump is going to be
responsible for millions of deaths like stalin and mao and he does nothing i'm going to move on
because i don't want to beat this thing to death i'm simply suggesting to you the guy is out there
portraying himself as a sincere critic of other media sources as like
the voice of reason he's not the voice of reason he is as i said in a village of idiots he's the
king he is the shaman how do you let that go but i'm telling you cnn will do nothing about it
all right moving on paul are you happy okay because she was very upset at me friday too
she thought i spent too much time on Stelter.
She did.
She was like, and then I got a few emails.
Should I say, I told you too much time on Stelter.
All right, moving on.
See, I told you it was a stacked news day.
We got a lot to get through.
Yeah.
Bernie said, this is, I sent out a tweet this morning.
This is, Bernie Sanders is a fraud example number 10,167.
Folks, this guy, I'm going to make a larger argument here because i listened to
a podcast one of my favorites this weekend and one of the points made by this guy tyler cowan was just
stellar in refuting this whole bernie sanders socialism government's going to be a panacea and
a cure-all uh mentality i i don't and i don't spend a lot of time on Bernie because it's personal with Bernie.
I spent a lot of time on Bernie because the way the left is shifted to the radical left
over the past two election cycles, ladies and gentlemen, is largely attributable, whether
you like him or not, to Bernie Sanders.
And there are people out there who are sane, who for some bizarre reason, take this guy
seriously.
Here's a story from the Washington Times about Bernie Sanders.
Again, showing you how he's, this guy is a fraud on every, he's a millionaire capitalist fraud.
Bernie Sanders shows how socialism works. Story will be in the show notes by Kevin Cochran.
His staff salaries inadvertently reveal the limits of his own philosophy.
Folks, Bernie Sanders, do you understand a major platform he's been running on
for the presidency is wage boards how if he
gets into office how they're going to be government-run wage boards that are going to tell
your businesses what to pay their workers yeah all kinds of things i mean the very essence of
socialism government control the means of production right another tenet of that is that
one of the mid the minimum wage you're going to be able to pay workers is 15 per hour because
bernie said so.
Remember, Bernie's had no experience, never had an actual job in his entire life. The guy is a
total fraud. From the Washington Times piece, this is what's fascinating. Again, showing you this man
has no principles at all. He wants you to pay $15 per hour, but get a load of this. Bernie Sanders,
the recent public flap over his field staff being paid an annual salary of $36,000,
but being required to work hours that equate to much less than $15 per hour he supports as a living wage,
does expose a major flaw in his socialist model.
Plus, it's downright embarrassing to be found to be someone not paying your workers $15 an hour
when just a month earlier you were at a Walmart shareholder meeting
shouting that Walmart should pay every employee
at least $15 per hour
because less than that is, quote, starvation wages.
Folks, I mean, how many, listen,
holding Bernie Sanders 10 yards,
replay first down.
What else did the guy is clearly not,
he's telling you you need to do something.
He is unequivocally not willing to do himself.
He doesn't pay his employees the equivalent of $15 an hour.
The guy is a fraud.
He is a total fraud.
He is a complete fake.
He rails in millionaires and billionaires.
He's a millionaire.
He doesn't like millionaires.
He is a millionaire.
millionaire. He doesn't like million. He is a millionaire. When asked why he doesn't pay,
when asked if he, why he doesn't pay the Trump tax rates, you know, why don't you just pay more?
Remember Trump cut taxes. Martha McCallum at Fox asked him an excellent question. Trump cut taxes.
Martha McCallum asked him, well, if you don't like the Trump tax cuts, cause he rails against him.
I don't like the Trump taxes. He hates him. If he doesn't like them, Martha McCown said, well, why don't you just voluntarily pay the higher
rate? You don't have to pay the
new lower rate. You get it? Pay the higher
one. Of course. And he's like, of course I'm not
going to pay that rate. Of course.
He's right because it's stupid because
why would you give the government extra money to waste?
But that's not what he's running on.
He's running on higher tax rates
suggesting we should all do it.
This guy is the biggest phony fake in all of politics.
Now, tying this to a bigger issue.
Bernie, let's take it out.
Now we have at the micro, right?
He's a fraud on these micro issues.
He's a fraud on minimum wage.
He's a fraud on wage boards.
He's a fraud on capitalism.
He's a fraud on tax cuts. He's a fraud on health boards. He's a fraud on capitalism. He's a fraud on tax
cuts. He's a fraud on healthcare. He's a fraud on all of this. Let's pull it out to Bernie's
bigger macro thesis that government somehow is a solution to all our problems. I was listening to
Econ Talk, which is an excellent podcast. I've recommended it here many times. Russ Roberts does
it, and he has thinkers from
various sides of the aisle. And they talk, it's a little longer. It's not certainly the format of
this show. It's long form, an hour long, comes out once a week. And he talks about economic issues
and some other stuff sometimes as well. He had on Tyler Cowen, who's really brilliant, brilliant.
I mean, a superior intellect. And listening to their back and forth this week, it was fascinating.
Cowen said something to me that I have to tell you,
very rarely does something ring my bell
that I'm thinking about for hours afterwards.
Usually, you know, I'll write it down, take a note,
do some homework on it, you know, let it go.
I could not get this out of my head.
And Joe, tell me at the end,
if this is as prescient as I think it is,
or maybe I'm just exaggerating.
He's talking about this left-leaning lurch
of the Bernie Sanders type left.
And I'm paraphrasing, obviously, a lot.
And he says, you know what's fascinating about this
is that these people running on this platform
want you to believe that trust in business
is all way, way down
and trust in government is way, way up.
But he said, think about the real world evidence of that.
It's not existent.
He brought up a fascinating point, Joe.
Oh, beautiful, baby.
We knew it growing up.
Yeah.
Joe's not cheating because I didn't, but this was brilliant.
Yeah.
What were you always told growing up, Joe, about strangers?
Oh, don't take candy.
Don't talk.
Get away from them.
Don't talk to them.
If a stranger pulled up.
Now, knowing your parents, good parents.
If you said to your parents as a kid, hey, if a stranger pulls up in a car, mom and dad, what should I do?
What do you think your parents would have told you?
Yeah, I would have said, run away.
Come home.
That's it.
Not a trick.
Yes.
My parents told me the same thing.
Matter of fact, I tell my wife that now when she goes out and runs.
I'm like, Paula, seriously, if a stranger ever, you know, creeps out there.
I'm like, just keep running or go to, ring a door.
Right?
That's what we've been told.
That has been considered par for the course advice for decades.
I promise I'm going to make this connection in a second.
Yet an Uber shows up and you connection in a second. Yet an Uber
shows up and you jump in a car
with a stranger like that.
Lickety split. Cowan.
Genius. Wow.
But he says, there's a distinction
here. Okay. It's not
that you trust the driver. You have
never met this guy or woman in your life.
You don't even know their names half the time.
You don't trust the driver. You don't know know the driver you have no idea who he is you trust the business model
oh that's not possible i thought business was awful business and government's gonna stop now
now i'm gonna that's he's his that's where the tyler cowan analogy stopped okay but it got me
thinking all weekend about other examples.
This was brilliant.
A brilliant piece of insight.
If someone pulled up to you tomorrow, not an Uber, on the street, I'm not kidding,
and said, I'm from the government, get in the back of the car, you would run.
Would you not?
Get the hell out of here.
Ladies and gentlemen, I don't care if you're a liberal or not.
Joe, you know it.
Jew, little Joe, Paula, my daughter.
If someone pulled up tomorrow, some rando, and rolled the window down and said, I'm from the government.
Get in the car right now.
You would lickety split.
Get the heck out of there.
Yep.
But why?
Why?
They're from the government.
If they showed you a badge, said get in now, and then forced you in, it was some kind of like an Uber transaction, you'd run away.
You'd want an explanation first.
You'd want to talk to a lawyer.
You don't do any of that when you get an Uber.
You may say, oh, okay, well, that's a little bit of a, is it?
Let me give you another example.
Again, this is not Cowan, but that was such a brilliant point.
So Cowan's point to sum his up is, you know, we say the Bernie Sanders types and others,
you know, oh, business is horrible.
We shouldn't trust business.
Government has the answer.
But in our real lives, we don't live that way at all.
We trust that Uber is sending us.
Someone's not going to kidnap us.
That's right.
Despite literally decades of being told
that is the one thing you should never do,
get in a car with a stranger.
We do it because business figured it out. How to it safe not the government not the g they didn't figure it out let me give you
another example it's a damn bongino original you know they want us to believe the left bernie and
others that government has the answers give them them your tax money, give them your health care, give them control over education policy, control over your
wages with wage boards, that these are the white knights. Yet what's fascinating is they only
believe government is this white knight when the elections turn out their way. When people choose
a government model moving more towards freedom,
tax cuts, economic liberty,
healthcare liberty,
in other words, the Trump election,
all of a sudden,
the left's approach is
conservatives are in charge,
don't trust government no matter what.
Well, wait, so government is that unstable
that if you lose an election,
everybody should impeach the government i
thought you just said government inherently was a net good that we should turn power over
the government but when you follow me here yeah you're suggesting to us government is the answer
but it's only the answer every four years if we win an election other than that
overthrow the government completely it's so bad for you it's going to cost you everything what wait what yeah nobody joe seriously no yeah if this is a bad analogy tell me i won't be
insulted but i thought about this i was up at fox uh this week hosted for hannity and there's a
chick-fil-a across the street in new york in liberal manhattan that's like 80 percent democrat
you can't get in there.
I'm not even kidding.
The line in the Chick-fil-A across the street from Fox on the east side of the street,
you can't even get in the joint.
The line is around the corner.
How?
Folks, I assure you those people on that line
are probably 70% to 80% liberal.
It is in one of the most liberal parts of Manhattan,
Fox News headquarters. So you don't trust the government when you lose an election despite telling us government's so great it's going to answer all our problems but only if we win
and if we lose it's the most dangerous thing ever but yet you have a company run by conservatives
they're not even open on sunday because their religious values. They're about to put something in your body.
Food.
I mean, something that could literally kill you.
They're about to put something in your body, this conservative company.
And despite the fact that that's run by conservatives, unlike government,
you line up around the corner for the chicken sandwich.
Tell me again how business is this inherent evil
and government is this inherently good,
benevolent thing that should be trusted
with our healthcare, our money, wage boards,
our kids' education.
Do you understand your total frauds when you say that?
You don't live your life that way at all.
You live your life the exact opposite way.
You're suggesting to us that government is so unstable
that when people pick their government,
that you should impeach it, run from it,
have people thrown out of office and arrested.
That's how awful government is.
But no matter what kind of conservative,
despite sincere ideological differences,
if you're a liberal, you will go up and allow them to feed you and put stuff in your body.
That's how much you trust them to not contaminate your chicken.
Tell me that.
Siri, I would love your feedback on that.
Because I thought about this.
And by the way, I'm running out of time.
I had 10, 20 other examples of this, too.
Uber. We're getting an Uber car. You ain't getting a car. I'm running out of time. I had 10, 20 other examples of this too. Uber.
We're getting an Uber car.
You ain't getting a car.
I'm here from the government.
Really?
You better tell me what you're here for.
You walk right in the back of an Uber.
You eat from a Chick-fil-A, the most popular fast food joint in America.
Liberals eat there all the time.
But it's a conservative.
How do you trust he's not going to poison you?
He's not going to poison me.
Why?
Because it's a business. I thought you trust he's not going to poison you? He's not going to poison me. Why? Because it's a business.
I thought you just said
we're not supposed to trust business.
And yet you want to impeach the government
we have right now.
Throw people out of office,
have them locked up.
You're frauds.
Bernie's a fraud.
You live your life the exact opposite way.
If you want to listen to the whole podcast,
that's a lot of free promotion.
That guy doesn't even like me, Russ Roberts.
I emailed him once.
I'm not kidding.
He get on his show.
I love his show so much, but that's okay.
He thinks that we're in different styles.
Russ is an academic, he's very smart.
But a lot of free promotion for EconTalk.
If you want to listen to the whole thing,
check it out, EconTalk with Tyler Cowen.
It is an excellent episode.
A little wonky at times, but understandable
if you have kind of a basic economics background.
They go into some really cool stuff on Rawls and others, but definitely worth your time.
But I have to tell you, just hat tip Tyler Cowen.
That is really an unbelievable point.
That is a Paul Revere, like running through town.
Everybody should be shouting that.
You don't trust business.
Really?
You get in the back of an Uber with a stranger.
Yeah, yeah.
I kind of refute that point, doesn't it?
Paula, did you like that?
Okay, cool.
Thank you.
My wife always like,
she throws compliments like manhole covers.
If she hates it,
she'll tell me like the Stelter thing on Friday.
She's like, man, you got to cut that off.
Eight minutes on Stelter.
