Oh my gosh, Cole. But that was when we were kids. They were like, oh yeah, old man Joe's out there. Let's go sit with him on the porch. And we would just BS with him all day. Now everything's PC.

Talking about Bill Buckner? What are we talking about? No, no, we're talking about Bill Barr, the Attorney General. So we had a good bill moment and a bad bill moment yesterday. Let's start with the good stuff because it's a holiday season and we all want to be cheering. We can get to the bad stuff in a minute. Washington Examiner story that'll be up in the show notes. You can always access our show notes at bungino.com slash newsletter. It's free. The newsletter is the show notes.

Read this article up there by the great, one of our favorites, Jerry Dunleavy from the Washington Examiner. Attorney General Bill Barr appoints John Durham as special counsel to investigate further criminality in Russia inquiry. Before we get to the screen caps from this piece, a couple of caveats. Many of you are probably saying, what do you mean? I thought John Durham was already appointed as a special counsel to investigate the Democrats and law enforcement community's role in spying on the Trump team. No, he was basically just a special assistant and did not have the title special counsel. A lot of you are probably like, who the hell cares? Why does that

matter? Oh, because now it's on paper and it's official that he's a special counsel, which makes a few things very difficult in the event if Biden wins this election. Makes it very difficult for a potential President Biden. But damn, we're not talking about President Biden. I don't want to talk about it either because I don't think he won this thing. But if it did happen, naming him special counsel,

I'll get to this in a second, makes it really, really hard for a Joe Biden administration to do anything other than itch and moan about it with a B in front of it. I'll explain why in a minute with some killer video from the great Harmeet Dhillon. Barr has effectively inoculated John Durham right now. If he was just a regular old lawyer in the Justice Department, I'm absolutely sure a disastrous, if Joe Biden administration, would make John Durham investigating the Spygate scandal, would make his life pretty miserable. Wouldn't everybody agree? We'll go to the gallery here.

Paula, yeah, head nod from Paula. Joe, miserable. Again, meatloaf, absolutely miserable. Two out of three ain't bad. I never count. So from the Washington Examiner piece, here's a screen cap. This was done a little while ago, though. It wasn't done yesterday. Why did we read about this yesterday? This disappointment was done a little while ago. Not disappointment, this appointment.

It's my queen's coming out. Quote, this is from the authorization letter. The special counsel, John Durham, is authorized to investigate. I want you to listen at the end. Something very important comes up here. To investigate whether any federal official, employee, or any other person or entity, pretty wide ranging, right? Violated the law in connection with the intelligence, counterintelligence, or law enforcement activities directed at the 2016 presidential campaigns. Campaigns, Joe. What, campaigns? Oh, don't go anywhere, Paula.

Leave that up, please. Because some others would like to read ahead on Rumble. Joe, he said campaigns. Plural. That's interesting, because I thought this was just directed at the Trump campaign. No, no.

If you listen to my show every day, you know that's not true. Because I've already talked about how this was directed at multiple campaigns, including Ted Cruz and Ben Carson. Okay. He goes on. What the special counsel is investigating.

Also individuals associated with those campaigns. Wow. Campaigns. Joe, Joe, it's there. It's there again. Campaigns. That's just so weird. That's so weird.

I thought it was just about Trump, them spying on Trump. And individuals associated with the administration of President Donald J. Trump. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Leave it. I know it's a lot, Paula, but you got to leave the screencast. She's like itching to take the screenshot of that. She's like, with the administration of President Trump, I thought they didn't spy on President Trump. I thought they spied on candidate Trump.

You got to learn to read this stuff. That's what I'm here for. Campaigns, presidential. I thought they only spied on the campaign. Very weird how Barr would put this in writing. It goes on. This is the longest screenshot ever. It's driving Paula crazy. Including, but not limited to, Crossfire Hurricane and the investigation of special counsel Robert Mueller. Wow. And it goes on. One more thing. If the special counsel believes it is

necessary and appropriate, the special counsel is authorized to prosecute federal crimes arising from his, that's Mueller's, investigation of these matters. Hmm. Huh? There's a lot in there. Now, caveat emptor, buyer beware. You know my take on this. Folks, listen. I read all the Reddits.

I love the Donald. It's like a blog they have at thedonald.win or whatever. I love it. I read you guys all the time. AR15.com. I read everything. I love it because I love feedback on the show. I love it.

I take it in like a Hoover vacuum. I love it because the show is for you. And when you're disappointed in something on the show, I'm disappointed. When you love something, it makes me feel good. But the show is about you. It when you're disappointed in something on the show, I'm disappointed. When you love something, it makes me feel good. But the show is about you. It's not about me. I can only listen once. The one piece of feedback I always get that stings,

and I think it's confusion, so I let a lot of it go, is people sometimes on, whether it's Reddit or the Donald or AR15.com or other blogs or social media, they'll say, Dan's just hyping us up that Barr's going to do something. Joe, you're a regular listener to the show. Yes, I am. Part of your job, like your company works with us.

We have never said that. I have repeatedly said multiple times, I've lost total faith in the Justice Department and candidly between you and I, I will be stunned if anybody else is prosecuted outside of Kevin Clinesmith the FBI lawyer I'm not kidding I'll be stunned pleasantly stunned

but stunned I am not setting you up for anything or hyping anything up I'm simply suggesting to you that Barr's not an idiot he's a DC guy a little more DC guy than I thought sadly that's not a compliment and I'm going to explain that in a minute too but he's a dc guy a little more dc guy than i thought sadly that's not a compliment and i'm gonna explain that in a minute too but he's not dumb arrowhead he is not done a dumb done dumb

or done dumb or dumber or done and done he's not neither one yeah you have to read between the lines in that whether he does anything about it, I don't know. I already told you I have very little faith in any of these people anymore. Zero. But you don't put down in writing, Joe, that you're investigating, authorizing the special council to investigate presidential campaigns with an S. Campaigns. I thought this was about Trump. No, no, not if you listen to this show.

Wait till I tell you about the intelligence gathering operation overseas on the other campaigns. Zuh. Zuh. Zuh. You older listeners already know about it. This wasn't just directed at Trump. You have to ask yourself, where was George Papadopoulos first before he became associated with the Trump campaign? Oh, that's right.

Ben Carson's campaign. That's kind of weird. It's crazy. It also says that they're looking into, the special counsel is going to be looking into the administration of President Trump and any illegal activity. I thought they, I thought this was about the Trump campaign. Is he suggesting there may have been illegal activities directed at the Trump administration? I don't know, but he wrote it down. And for me not to tell you would be just stupid.

Is he going to do anything about it? Again, my faith is pretty much zero, but it's there. Finally, the big kahuna of all three my father used to call everything the big kahuna who even knows who the kahuna it was the kahuna dude i don't know i'm called i don't know who the kahuna is but he's called everything the big kahuna the big kahuna is the last line that he is authorizing an investigation into potential what a criminality and equality on behalf of Bob Mueller. That's the greatest line ever in the most incredible, ironic twist in human history. The special counsel has a special counsel investigating the special counsel for potential illegality.

The special counsel committed while being investigated by a new special counsel. Remember that old show before Kevin Spacey got tired, house of cards or got fired. Excuse me. Who know some other stuff, but remember that show? This is like a total house of cards episode.

Conservatives should do their own, like real house of cards. This is amazing. Is. And by amazing, I don't mean anything's going to happen. I just mean, it's amazing that he even put this down on paper.

Bob Mueller has to be, and Andy Weissman, their team of insane-ocrats, has to be sitting there scratching their head like, holy stuff, we didn't sign up for that. Now we are going to be under federal investigation investigation i'm going to scratch my nose my daughter would say yeah i got a piece of paper here wow that's kind of weird you like that huh it's all right it's my show still love you it's kind of weird right The special counsel now

Is going to be forced to Produce themselves for interviews And other things like that Again is anything going to happen Eh If I was a betting man Which I wasn't in my youth But I am now

I don't mean like sports betting I mean I take some big gambles So I'll bet on that I would bet you The odds are pretty low But don't think for a second That he put that down on paper Bill Barr Because he's a DC guy Some big gamble. So I'll bet on that. I would bet you the odds are pretty low. But don't think for a second that he put that down on paper, Bill Barr. Because you're a D.C. guy.

Yeah, let's be honest. You're a D.C. guy. He put that down on paper by mistake. Joe, are you picking up what I'm laying down here? Yes, Dan, I am. Paula? Mm-hmm. Okay, thank you.

Is there anybody getting a head nod out of there? All right. Like I say, meatloaf, two out of three ain't bad. thank you is anybody get a head nod out of there all right like i say meatloaf two out of three ain't bad so the excellent harmeet dylan who i adore bulldog lawyer out of uh california who takes who on the f's to give scale if you know what i mean has zero f's left to give she doesn't give and about anything i'm telling you there's no in the f's file her f's file is zero to give. She doesn't give about anything. I'm telling you, there's no in the F's file. Her F's file is zero to give. Doesn't give any F's anymore. She was on last night on Shannon

Bream's show on Fox, and she wanted to comment on this that Bill Barr appointed John Durham officially now. Back on October, back in October this happened. I'll get to the significance of the date in a minute. October, Dan, it's December. I happened. I'll get to the significance of the date in a minute. In October, Dan, it's December. I know. I'm going to get

to that. I'm going to get to that. The date of that's important. Why announce it now? Ah, good bill, bad bill. But Harmeet Dhillon wanted to talk about... We're going to talk about Jerry Nadler. You know Jerry. Remember Jerry who waddled off the stage

at that press conference? Looked like, I don't know, diaper, remember Jerry who waddled off the stage at that press conference? Looked like, I don't know, diaper was full or whatever. So we're going to call Jerry, Jerry Big Dumps Nadler after Joe Biden, after Big Dumps Biden, but for different reasons. So Jerry Big Dumps, he had something to say about it. Jerry Nadler, a corruptocrat, liberal hack who has been involved heavily in all of the peepee tape stuff and the fake impeachment hoax. So Jerry Nadler came out and lost his mind over this. Oh my gosh,

a special counsel. This is abuse that president, just to be clear, you were okay, Jerry Big Dumbs. He was okay with appointing Bob Mueller as a special counsel about the pee-pee thing, about pee-pee, about investigating a pee-pee hoax. He was totally cool with that. And yet John Durham, who's already successfully prosecuted someone, an FBI lawyer for lying in the case, used to spy on Trump. He's definitely not okay with that, Joe. So Jerry, man of principle, Jerry Nadler. So Harmeet Dhillon, last line of Fox, just unloads on big dumps Nadler. This is terrific. Check this out. that were used to investigate him unjustly for a long time. That shouldn't happen again. So what we're having here is an attorney general making sure that an existing investigation into existing wrongdoing is completed.

And even with this appointment, it doesn't guarantee that because whoever the next attorney general is, if there's a change of attorneys general, will ultimately have the authority to do a thumbs up or thumbs down on whatever is recommended by a special counsel. So I think it is a distinction without much of a difference, but it does seem to imply some longevity in this overlong investigation. I love Harmeet. Again, the F's file is zero.

There's nothing it gives no about. It doesn't just like tells it like it. I love candor. I just adore it. So she calls out big dumps and she's like, hey, he's demanding an explanation for the special counsel. He demands nothing. You get nothing. You get zero big dumps because you have zero credibility. You burn your credibility. You wanted a special counsel for the peepee hoax, hard pass on you and credibility on special counsels but she brings up an interesting point and she does it in a ground did you catch it i don't i don't know if you caught it did you get some of you all right did you get some of you may

have caught it at the end she says something interesting but she does it in a way that's she kind of slides in the back on that one. She doesn't come right through the front door and announce it. I'm at the party. Hey, I didn't see you come in. Yeah, I came in the back. She says,

that's really not a big deal. She says that with a wink and a nod. I'll wink and nod for her. She's really not a big deal. She does like a big wink and nod, but she doesn't wink at all because she's, you know, she's being like coy about it. It's not big deal the next attorney general could just you know fire

the special counsel which joe is an accurate statement if god forbid joe biden wins this election he could demand that john doran be fired a special counsel well what's the wink and the nod? Ladies and gentlemen, Harmeet Dhillon's not stupid. She knows full well that all of these hack Democrats, Sleazy Schiff, Big Dump Snadler, Pelosi, Eric Smarmywell, whatever his name is. She knows all of these lunatics are on tape telling the Trump team, if you dare, remember this, Joe, dare fire special counsel Mueller, you know, the pee-pee investigator. If you dare fire the pee-pee guy, we will accuse you of obstruction and impeach you.

Oh, no, they thought those tapes disappeared. They thought those tapes magically disappeared. No, no, no. They thought those tapes disappeared. They thought those tapes magically disappeared. No, no, they're still out there. So Harmeet, who's smarter than these idiots, the Democrats, she's giving you a wink and a nod, whether you picked it up or not, as most of you probably did.

She says, yeah, no big deal. You can just fire him, door him if you want. Knowing full well that we will, if you do that, we them if you want. Knowing full well that we will, if you do that, we will unleash Hades. Conservatives,

what they're going to do in Congress, I don't know. We have a bunch of weak-kneed Republicans, but us at least, people trying to fight this fight, what we will do is unleash hell on them and demand, and Biden get,

Biden get then impeached if God forbid he wins because you did what you warned us no president should do. You sleazy shift and big dumps Nadler said it on tape, did they not? You dare fire the special counsel, Joe. That's interference. That's obstruction. That's a crime.

You got to be impeached. Okay. That's why Nadler's losing his – you get the wink at it. Paula, it makes sense. Paula, Joe. For honesty, I didn't pick that up, to tell you the truth. I did not pick that up. Just to let you know. That's what Iler's losing his, you get the wink at, Paul, it makes sense. Paul, you're good. For honesty, I didn't pick that up to tell you the truth. I did not pick that up

just to let you know. That's what I love about Joe. See, that's why everybody loves Joe. He's a good audience on Buzzman. He's like, you could have made himself look good. I would have never called him out because I love the guy.

He's honest. I didn't pick it up. I'm telling you, that's the first thing I caught about this. It's Harmeet. She's very sleek in the way she does business. Me,

a little more open and out there and stuff. I just go right at it. But she is giving you a wink and a nod. And she's almost daring them. Okay, fire Dorm. We'll see what happens. What will happen with the rhinos up on the hill? Who knows?

They're pretty gutless, a lot of them. But with us, even Paula. Paula's like, you have no idea how much Paula can't stand DC. Really? You think I can't stand them? It's geometric. She hates it. she thinks they do enough absolutely nothing ever ever never ever so she's probably right but harmeet knows what's up all right i want to get to the second part because you may be like all right so it sounds like bill barr did a pretty good thing slipped all that stuff in their

presidential campaigns investigating investigating them, investigating President Trump, the attack against him. I thought it was against the campaign. And then an investigation of Bob Mueller, we'll see what happens. Paula's nodding her head like, nothing's ever going to happen with these clowns. Well, not on this show. Something always happens. I'll get to the second part. Bad bill in a second. That was good bill, bad bill. Let me get to my second sponsor, our friends at Simply Safe.

So I told you there was a trade-off. Good bill. Looks like Bill Barr did something good. Here's, I think, a little bit of bad Bill Barr. I'm sorry. We got to call it like it is, folks. I'm not really happy with this at all. So a statement was put out yesterday. Of course, it was used by the media, totally misread because they're in the media, which inherently means their IQs have not passed the triple digit mark yet. Not a lot of aptitude or achievement in that whole media branch. That's why they majored in journalism, right?

But they took this statement and ran with it. So let's go to the Wall Street Journal. Saw some coverage this morning. This is an ill-advised statement. I'm really sorry to the Department of Justice. You know, when you do good things, I'll have your back. But this was just dumb. So the Wall Street Journal, their editorial board,

they just love to hammer Trump a lot, by the way. But, you know, we got to cover it from all angles and give you what everyone else is saying, too. Trump's fraud claims hit a bar. Clever play there, folks. Bar. B-A-R-R. Heh. The AG says the feds have seen no evidence that would overturn Joe Biden's victory. That's actually not

what they said um maybe you should clear up your headline a little bit this was an ill-advised statement i'm going to put the screenshot up of the statement in a moment but i want to before i get to that there are two takeaways from what i'm about to read to you in the statement that the wall street journal ledges found no fraud that's not exactly what they said you know precision journalism stuff come Come on guys. You can do better. And ladies, I want you to keep a cue,

a few key phrases and words in mind about this statement. Number one, dreaded air quotes here. Bar's statement has to date for the journal and others. That means they haven't seen it to date. Joe, that means like, as of yet, so I know we need a translator yeah

so thank you thank you joe was said even more beautifully than me but that's why they majored in journalism um a lot of people leave that out of course that part's kind of important right the next is scale that word's going to be important. I'm not talking about scales on fish, but scale. And the other one, they even incorporate, Joe said, so far we haven't seen anything. I want you to pay attention to that. All right, put up the screenshot and you'll see what I'm talking about. All right, quote, Bill Barr can take the heat.

And on Tuesday, the stalwart AG guaranteed he'll get it when he said, quote, to date. to date again can i just i don't mean to i'm going to switch out to wall street jones this is joseph so far we have not seen fraud on a scale scale not a fish scale on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election okay that today things kind of important to Joe, at least, not to the journalism geniuses. Barr told the AP that allegations of particularized fraud, with some that, quote, potentially cover a few thousand votes, are being explored. But President Trump is down by 150,000 votes in Michigan, 80,000 in PA, 20,000 in Wisconsin.

And for the idea that voting machines were compromised, Mr. Barr said the feds, quote, have looked into that. And he's quoting Joe Armacost. So far, beautiful, Joe. I didn't even plan that. We have, I didn't let him cheat to make up for not knowing the other thing. This is him.

And so far we haven't seen anything to substantiate that. Okay. Maybe important to note then, one, this is an ill-advised statement, because if you haven't seen anything, Joe, just throwing it out there so far, maybe you should shut up until you do or you have a conclusive answer. Just throwing that out there. I mean, it's not like I haven't done federal investigations. You don't ever come out and give a statement and go,

listen, we're investigating this counterfeiter, major counterfeiter, passing super notes all over Long Island. Hey, so far we don't have that much evidence, but we're getting there. Maybe have it tomorrow.

Maybe the next day, next week looks good. Who knows? Everybody be like, what kind of stupid statement is that? Maybe just shut up. I'm just throwing that out there until you can issue something conclusive.

Sorry, guys. Like I said, I gave you the good bill, bad bill. Sometimes I'll write myself notes. Don't write yourself notes about jokes. They should just have... Joe, just show us when you have something to say, right? Yeah. Just show it like a pull of Jerry Maguire, right? All right. Show me the money. Cuba Gooding Jr. Just show us when you have something to say, right? Yeah. Just show it. Like pull a Jerry Maguire, right?

All right. Show me the money. Cuba Gooding Jr. Just show us. He should be on the phone, Bill Barr. Show me the money. Show the money when you're ready. Just show.

You don't have anything to show, so don't show me the money. There's nothing to show. There's no Jerry Maguire moment. Just be quiet. Zip it. And when you have something to say, say it. Just throwing that out there. What are you, Bob Sugar? Some of you get that joke. Now, another guy taking from the Harmeet Dhillon mold of people whose file of Fs is zero to give.

If there were Fs to give, they're zero. The files, there's no Fs to give, right? They're out of that. Totally out of it is our friend Lou Dobbs at Fox, who is, is the lightning rod, Zeus-like thrower of Files. I love this guy. I love this guy.

So, the Hobbs, who's out of all those thingies to give, was quite upset at Bad Bar. We had Good Bar, Bad Bar, or I should say Good Bill, Bad Bill. Well, I quite upset at bad bar we had good bar bad bar or should i say good bill bad bill why is upset i was upset at a bad bill and uh lou just everybody keeps talking about

unleashing a kraken talk about a kraken to unleash on this one dobbs just unloaded on bar check this out today a member of his own cabinet appeared to join in with the radical Dems and the deep state and the resistance. Attorney General William Barr, who has been absent for weeks and weeks, telling the Associated Press that the U.S. attorneys and FBI agents who have followed up on complaints of specific voter fraud across the country have produced nothing. To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale, he said, that could have affected a different outcome in the election. For the Attorney General of the United States to states to make that statement, he is either a liar or a fool or both. He may be perhaps compromised. He may be simply unprincipled or he may be personally distraught or ill.

But in no way can he honestly stand up before the American people and say that the FBI has with any integrity or intensity investigated voter fraud in this country and then say it did not amount to anything. Because what we are hearing just from the eyewitnesses in state legislative hearings, forget all of the rest, those eyewitnesses in state legislative hearings across the country tell the truth. I love this guy. love so does paula paula her hits file if you know what i mean is zero two she has no hits to give either put an

s there you get it sorry folks sorry i know it's family i can't help it there are some days we just have to like tell it like it is man we just have to kind of go for it. The whole like Howard Stern private parts movie. Remember that? The wife's like, oh, Howard. And he's like, listen, we just got to go for it. Sometimes you just got to go for it. Paula has zero hits to give either. I love this guy.

Paula and I, true story, flew out of PBI up to New York. We're on a plane with Dobbs. Dobbs, we were both going back to work for Fox. He was doing a show and was on a little whatever. Siesta time down here. Who knows? So we got to chat with Dobbs. Dobbs, we were both going back to work for Fox. He was doing his show and was on a little, whatever, siesta time down here. Who knows? So we got to chat with Dobbs for a bit. He's the exact same dude in person.

No hits to give. None. I love this guy. Putting everybody on notice. We're watching you, fucker. We're watching you. Lot ofker. We're watching you. A lot of sad culture. That was crazy De Niro, but he was watching Fokker.

We're watching you, Bill. I've defended you a lot under extreme scrutiny, but this statement was really stupid. If you don't have to show us the money because you don't have the money, then don't be Jerry McGuire. You sound more like Bob Sugar. Just saying. Now, in his defense, because I always give both sides, because I'm not a stupid journalist

who went to journalism school because I couldn't take a real degree, Bill Barr did issue a correction or his Justice Department, which he runs. So, you know, this happened with his authorization after he realized, I think I just stepped in a steaming pile of hits. So here's the Daily Wire. Again, a piece up in the show notes. I encourage you to check it out. Here's Barr's statement where they fire back from the DOJ and they basically say, listen, the media reports you're wrong. Ryan Saavedra. It's good pieces over there,

Daily Wire. DOJ fires back at news organizations claiming voter fraud probes are over. Because of course the media misinterpreted what, Joe was smart enough to read. Joe, who's one of the smartest guys not being funny.

Joe's like, Dan, to date means so far, which Bill quoted Joe on later. So far we haven't, but the media was like, no, no, no voter fraud. It's all a hoax. Like, you know, not a hoax, not like the peepee tape, which is real. This is. So far we haven't, but the media was like, no, no, no voter fraud. It's all a hoax. Like, you know,

not a hoax, not like the pee pee tape, which is real. This is a hoax. And he says, that's not what A.G. Barr said. Their statement's pretty clear. Their statement's crystal clear.

That's not what Barr, it was an ill-advised statement, folks. Period, full stop. I'm not defending him, but I got to give you their counter or else I'm not giving you the information. Here's the statement from the DOJ cleaning up the mess after they stepped in it. Some media outlets have incorrectly reported that the DOJ concluded its investigation of election fraud and announced an affirmative finding of no fraud in the election.

That is not what the AP reported, nor what the attorney general stated. That is not what the AP reported, nor what the attorney general stated. Not. There's a not in there, folks, for the liberals listening. The DOJ will continue to receive and vigorously pursue all specific and credible allegations of fraud as expeditiously as possible. Clearly, Joe, what was this? Clean up all four. Someone get the mop.

Get the mop. I used a lot of mops in my time. I have mopped a lot of floors. A lot. Get the mop. I used a lot of mops in my time. I have mopped a lot of floors. A lot. Get the mop. It was the greatest job I ever had. You learned so much responsibility. Complete the task.

No snowflakes allowed. I mopped a lot of floors. This is a clean up on aisle four. Can we all recognize the get the mop moment? Somebody get the mop. Please get the mop. Joe got the mop for him. Joe cleaned it up for him so far.

They were even quoting Joee in their statement so far amazing armacost got in there early they watched this show early the media of i know i'm on a roll today it's the dexamethasone i swear the day after chemo you're always on fire the dexamethasone it's amazing it'll wear off tomorrow i'll be a dead man walking it's okay today's good enough it'll carry you through there's nothing like this nothing I'm sorry

you know everything about my life I probably violated my own HIPAA violence can I do that no I can share you my own medical stuff can I do that

I swear there's like nothing you don't know about I see people out there and they see me in airports and they tell me things about myself I'm like how'd you know that

you said it on your show a year ago I'm like I did that sounds crazy no you myself. I'm like, how'd you know that? You said it on your show a year ago. I'm like, I did? That sounds crazy. No, you said it. I'm like, oh my gosh, that is crazy. Everything. Just go for it. Private parts, not mine, the movie. That would be weird. She's losing it over there. But the media is not going to report that, of course. That's not what Barr said. So my suggestion here is twofold. Media people, stop being idiots and stop saying Barr said there was no election fraud because you can't read or you can and you're morons. That's not what the statement says at all. Just call

producer Joe. He'll get back to you. No, we won't. But he'll clean it up for you media idiots. He'll do what I do. He'll throw your email in the trash. But secondly, to the bar justice department, I'm reasonably confident speaking for each other. Stop issuing statements about, remember G.I. Jane? 50 second cultural reference in the show today, but necessary.

G.I. Jane, I know I'm getting this wrong, right? Because one of my favorite lines in that crazy movie, she comes in trying to bark at the CEO of the special ops base, and she says, I'm not making a statement. And he responds back, gets up in her grill, and he's like, people who don't want to make statements don't make statements about not making statements. If you had no statement to make, Mr. Barr, then don't make a statement. Just go watch G.I. Jane and take some advice from the commander on the base.

I'll have to find out his name later whatever commander old man Joe to go back to the beginning of the show I know it's not PC now but when he was the commander it was probably PC commander old man Joe

just take his advice smart man old man Joe in my name old man Pat in my name was the smartest guy on the block that's why we sat on his stoop it's called the stoop in New York

we took advice take advice from him. Take advice from old man Joe, the CEO of the base. Don't make statements about not making statements, claiming you don't want to make a statement because you made a statement. And it was a stupid statement without a statement to make. I'm just saying. Friendly advice. That was just topic one.

We had eight. I'm not sure we're going to get to all those today but i will get to number two because this is a big one trump dropping a huge bombshell on the tech tyrant's head this was critical yesterday before i get to that let me get to my third sponsor because i'm hungry by the way remind me i gotta take that drug i'm putting in big letters.

I'll never eat anything like it. Incredible. We used Omaha Steaks ground beef. All right, moving on. Sorry, I got a little bit of hiccups. Maybe time for, sorry, folks, relief band time.

There you go. So President Trump yesterday tweeted out that he wants to, let me get the quote right. He wants section two, oh my gosh, if I get the hiccups, this will be horrible during the show. I'm sorry. This happened last time. Remember, Joe?

It will allow a couple. But after that, Joe's going to have to do some fancy work. So President Trump yesterday threatened to completely terminate, wants Section 230 completely terminated. I'll explain what that is and what this has to do with the tech tyrants in a minute. Just hang with me. Oh, my gosh. I'm really sorry, folks.

Bear with me. Well, I'll just do. Any, folks. This chemo needs to bear with me. Well, I'll just do. Any more of this, we're going to have to cut some out because it's weird. New York Post, read this article. It's up in the show notes. Trump threatens to veto defense bill if Congress doesn't repeal Section 230 by Emily Jacobs.

Okay, first, what is Section 230? What does this have to do with the tech tyrants? And in a moment of, let me say, candor and honesty, I have to be very, full disclosure as always, I know it's annoying, but it's important to say, to be honest, I do have a financial interest in competitors to Twitter and YouTube, excuse me, respectively, Parler and Rumble.

So I think you will know that. From the screenshot, let's read what does he want to do. So this is President Trump's tweet yesterday. Section 230, which is a liability shielding gift from the U.S. to quote big tech. The only companies in America that have it is corporate welfare. He says it's a serious threat to our national security and election integrity. Our country can never be safe and secure if we allow it to stand. Therefore, if the very dangerous and unfair Section 230 is not completely terminated as part of the NDAA, the National Defense Bill, I will be forced to unequivocally veto the

bill when sent to this very beautiful, resolute desk. Take back America. Now, he continued adding a thank you for good measure. Now, he wants Section 230 completely terminated. So I would be remiss and I'd be acting like a media knucklehead if I didn't tell you what exactly about 230 offends the president and others and why it gives Twitter, Fakebook, and others this perceived sense of immunity. Let's go to Cornell Law. This is the section of 230. It's in question. I'm going to tell you how I think a better way to handle this is. Folks, again,

I can only tell you from the bottom of my heart, this is not done. I learned a lot when I became a part investor and a part owner of some of these. I learned a ton. And I want to explain to you, if we completely terminate 230, there could be a really pernicious outcome for us, not for Twitter. Okay, let's go to Section 230. This is Cornell Law. This is Section 47 of the U.S. Code, Section 230, if you want to look it up.

It's called Protection for Private Blocking and Screening of Offensive Material. It talks about civil liability. In other words, can you sue Twitter or Fakebook for a post someone puts up? If someone puts up in a post, say, producer Joe robbed the bank, why can't you sue Twitter? Well, they have this civil liability blanket, and here's what it says. This is the actual code. No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account. So Twitter and others can't be held liable of any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or this is the key term, otherwise objectionable. Joe, do we need to translate? This is Dan Bongino, translator.

I have to come home right now. A little bit. I can see what Paul is saying. Yeah, you need to translate. Yeah. What that basically means is Twitter and fake book and YouTube and others, they can pull down content, take it off their platform if it falls into one of those categories. Obscenity, lewdness, violence. Those aren't really the issues. The issues that have really caused Twitter and fake book problems are otherwise objectionable.

What the hell does that mean? You want the answer? Joe's like, yeah, give me the answer. That means whatever the hell Twitter and fake book thinks it means. They don't like President Trump's tweet. We pulled it down. Why? We thought it was otherwise objectionable. Can you define that? No, we don't need to.'s tweet. We pulled it down. Why? Oh, we thought it was otherwise objectionable.

Oh yeah. Well, can you define that? No, we don't need to. It's in section two 30. They don't folks. The argument's no simple.

It's no more difficult than that. That is the simplest way to describe to you the problem with section two 30. You can't sue Twitter for taking your conservative content down because Twitter says, no, we just go to Section 230. We found your content otherwise objectionable. What does that mean? Hell, if I know, it's in Section 230. We gave them this pass. So you may be saying, Dan, you sound like you're making President Trump's argument.

What's your point? You said you weren't all in for it. I am and I'm not. There's no question Section 230 is a disaster. None. Zero. The same zero file that Harmeet and Lou Dobbs are grabbing from for their hits, if you know what I mean. Zero. But folks, a better way to do it, because I'll tell you what'll happen in a minute. Let me tell you the better way and I'll tell you what happens if we totally wipe out 230, is to just amend 230, get rid of all that objectionable, all that other stuff, lewd. Don't want to lewd. What's the definition of that? I mean, honestly, I'm not being funny.

You could put up a picture and say a bikini. If you're some dude, I don't know, maybe you're from South America, you like Speedos. Who knows? They like the Speedo down there. And everybody, oh my gosh, that's lewd, right? I mean, Twitter could say, we deem it lewd. What are you going to do, sue them? We deem it lewd. We pulled it down. How about this?

How about you throw that section of 230 out and you amend it with, you will be protected from civil liability, Twitter, fake book, Parler, and others, YouTube, if you pull down content that constitutes a crime or terrorism, and just leave it at that. The rest of the stuff, let the public determine. The greatest analogy I ever heard is, do you notice, Joe, we don't sue the phone company

if someone calls you, calls someone over the phone and starts yelling at them about their politics? Hey, old man Joe, screw you and your dopey conservative Trump supporting stuff. Nobody sues the phone company. Nobody asked the company to stop phone service. So you're asking millions of Americans to be cut off from Twitter and fake book? Because parlor, we don't do that, obviously.

You're asking millions of Americans who don't even talk, communicate primarily through Twitter and fake book now. You're asking these companies to cut them off because who don't even talk, communicate primarily through Twitter and Facebook now, you're asking these companies to cut them off because you don't like their political beliefs because you find them otherwise objectionable. So you're going to cut them off from communicating with the entire globe on a platform pretty much everyone uses.

Sounds kind of tyrannical to me. The verdict is in. Dan Bongino is right. Maybe if we told them the same rules applied as the phone company. You cannot call old man Joe on the phone and threaten his life. A police report will be filed and you run the very real risk of being in prison. You commit a crime on Twitter?

You promoting terrorism on Twitter? Okay, fair enough. Everyone else can decide for themselves. We're all big boys and big girls. We'll define what hate speech is. When we know it, Everyone else can decide for themselves. We're all big boys and big girls. We'll define what hate speech is. When we know it, downvote people. Move them off your platform.

Stop following them. But don't take 230. I promised I'd tell you why. That I forgot, right? Folks, if we repeal 230 altogether, it's not going to help. It's actually going to hurt. Why? Because if 230 goes out, that means none of these companies have any liability protection at all against lawsuits.

You're questioning, what are you saying right now? Paul and Joe, you're like, great. Let's let everybody sue them. No, not great. No. How's that not great? We can't stand Twitter and fake book. I mean, you call them fake book.

No, folks. how's that not great we can't stand twitter and fake book i mean you call them fake book no folks once it's pulled down twitter and fake book are going to take everything down everything why come on joe you know the answer because they're going to say we don't want to be sued everything's coming down everything There will be no communication platform. You may say, oh, great. We'll get rid of them. Folks, listen. No, because you'll get rid of us at Parler. Us and Rob. Dan, you have an interest in that.

No, folks, I have an interest in getting my ideas out. People ask me all the time, how come you don't just get off Twitter and post exclusively on Parler? Why would I get off Twitter? There are liberal idiots there who need to be called out. My social media home is Parler. I love it there. That. So I post my exclusives, my videos. I enjoy it. I like it. No, it's not an echo chamber at all. But why would I get off these other platforms? We're still on YouTube, but my home is Rumble. There's an exclusive window. My show goes on

Rumble. I'm not a hypocrite. They're my competitors. I literally lose money by posting on there. I can have a because I believe that we have to fight that fight everywhere. I'm just asking you to make your home places that respect you. sued by everyone because ladies and gentlemen your website if you have a comment section on your website whatever it may be conservative old man joe.com and someone puts a comment on there and there's no civil liability protection if you remember that applies to websites too not just twitter and fake book you can be sued too what's gonna happen you're gonna pull your website down it's not the right call i'm sorry i know it's not the popular thing to say, but I don't do popular. I do right. You know, easy and right are not always the same thing. I'm not going to give you

the easy path. It's not the right one. Just amend that section of 230. Throw out otherwise objectionable and make it crimes or terrorism. Let everyone else decide. We're all big boys. All right. Let me get to my last sponsor. What do we got oh oh the james o'keefe stuff did you see this i had to wait a day i always i don't want to be first i like to be right i had to wait a day i want to let this do a little bit because there

again, the hits file for James O'Keefe, zero. He just goes after CNN. Because we all knew CNN's not a real journalism organization. And listen, that's okay. Right, Joe? What do you mean that's okay, Dan? That is okay. What's not okay is they don't admit it. They still's okay, Dan? That is okay. What's not okay

is they don't admit it. They still pretend they do news, which is hilarious. Just be honest. I have no problem. I'm not a work at Twitter or a fake book. I have no problem

debating liberals. They're always wrong. I love it. Matter of fact, I'm working on something right now. I'll have to talk to you about it later. I love debating. It's my favorite thing to do

because they're always wrong at everything and they don't know anything. But just admit you're a liberal propaganda shell. You're not news. And I'm okay with that. But they don't.

They pretend they're news, which is hilarious. So James O'Keefe from Project Veritas, this is really hilarious. Apparently for about two months, he has been accessing the conference calls

of CNN leadership about their, quote, news programming. And this is amazing. He's been on the call for two months recording him. So yesterday, he decides on the—this is not a joke. He decides on their conference call he's been listening to for too much, quietly. You know, he doesn't announce himself. Hey, I'm James O'Keefe.

But he decided to announce himself yesterday. This is absolutely priceless hilarious that here's o'keefe telling them for the first time he's been listening to their conference calls for two months and listen to the response they're like diaper time big dumps nadler time this is hilarious check this out hey jeff sucker are you there hey this, this is James O'Keefe. We've been listening to your CNN calls for basically two months, recording everything. Just wanted to ask you some questions if you have a minute. Do you still feel you're the most trusted name in news? Because I have to say, from what I've been hearing on these phone calls, I don't know about that.

We've got a lot of recordings that indicate you're not really that independent of a journalist okay thank you for thank you for your comments so everybody in light of that I think what we'll do is we'll set up

a new system and we'll be back with you we'll do the rest of the call a little bit later. We're going to release those recordings today at seven o'clock. So stay tuned. It's going to be fun. Everybody have a good day. Yeah.

You too. This is a lyric. Thank you everybody. And have a nice day. After they realized their conference calls, CNN have been listened to for two months and recorded. What does he say, Zucker? Thank you and have a nice day. And James goes, yeah, you too.

Wait, wait, wait. Do we have the... Is this not one of those moments? Is this not one of those moments? All we need is the cigar. I have one. I'm putting it in my mouth. That thing's been in my mouth so many. It's disgusting. That cigar's rotten. This is it.

The on the libs glasses time. Yeah, you too. You have a good day too. This guy, I'm telling you, I don't know where he gets this. I have no idea. But CNN absolutely hates this guy. So here's one of the recordings.

Again, big hat tip. The Project Veritas. Paula, do you know their exact website? Because I want to make sure we get it right project for do you have there she i know what she's doing right there she's putting the damn bunge you know on the libs logo with the with the digitized glasses on there she is there we go with the cigar that actually looks more like a joint okay i'm sorry um that is not a cigar i don't know how paula put that in there

folks if you want to see it uh email paula our email is info info app on gino.com uh please to complain that that is not a cigar that is um what you would call a marijuana cigarette otherwise known as a doobie um a joint a shorty uh as i grew up it was called by a thousand i have never smoked the doob in my life telling you see that's not a cigar that's not a cigar very sorry paul that is not a cigar joe was in the music business He may have more experience with doobies than I do. I'm not saying. I'm not saying anything.

Statute of limitations is up. There's Joe with the doobie. How did you do that? There's Joe with the doobie. I did not know that was coming. Not a joke. Joe, that may be real. I don't know.

Statute of limitations is up. Joe's going to have to handle that in his own show one day when we do the Joe Armacost show. I'm not saying any more. Joe, don't say anything. I'm not sure where the statute of limitations. But the man was a very famous musician back in the day. Doobies, marijuana, I don't know. Me?

No doubt. I'm telling you, never smoked a joint in my life. I remember there was a camera. I'm not kidding. Who knew? We'll have to get that footage sometime. So this is James O'Keefe. Whether he smoked a doobie i have no idea i doubt

it but he definitely gets the digitized on the libs glasses for that one because that's just hilarious have a nice day you too okay it goes on it gets better here is what i gotta get i have a conference call with you i know i i told paul and joe hey we gotta speed it up we're gonna get the show on time and i'm the one like going today's been like a plethora of pop culture references and unintended sarcasm. Here is one of the tapes. This is CNN, again, pretending to be a news organization on a conference call where they actually think it's news and journalism to regurgitate Biden team talking points about the transition. Literally. They're talking about how like the Biden team has told them to minimize Trump's protestations about the election, which is news.

Is it not, Joe? The president of the United States is alleging there's potential election fraud. That's kind of news, right? If you do news. Yeah. I had to rely on Joe to clean up the DOJ statement. Now I'm relying on Joe to clean up journalism, too.

Kind of news. Not to CNN, because the Biden team told them not to talk about that and to focus on Biden's transition. So, of course, they're not a news channel. They're an activist network for Biden. Here, listen to him talk about it on this call here. says on Jeff Zucker's 9 a.m. editorial conference call how they, the Democratic Party, powerful interest groups, may determine how CNN will cover Trump not conceding the presidential election. I just want to underscore something that Michael said earlier about the transition and Trump, because I've been talking to a lot of people this morning on both sides, and I just keep hearing the same thing, both from Republicans who have not come out to congratulate Biden, you know, news than the national security

briefings, which are critical to start now, they just don't want us to exaggerate that Trump isn't leaving office. And I'm going to have a lot of specific reporting

on that later today, but just big picture wanted to underscore what Michael had said. Yep. Agreed. That's amazing. I'm being very serious here. That is stunning. Like Kenny Bell stunning. I don't have time because I can unring it.

You can unring a bell. You just got to put your hand up. That's stunning. Zucker says, yep, I agree. The president of the United States is not conceding an election because there are substantive, substantial issues with the viability,

freeness, and fairness of the election. The president of the United States. And CNN was instructed by the Biden camp basically to minimize that story, which is the news story of the century. Right, Joe? Help them out, Joe. You've been great today.

Helping out the DOJ. Would you agree? Yeah. Easily. Yes. That a presidential election could have been tipped by voter fraud and the president refuses to concede. But no, the news organization, and she says in the beat, go rewind and listen again.

As a news organization, did you not miss that? As a news organization, did you not miss that? As a news organization, we're not going to cover the news because the Biden team told us just to focus on their transition. News organization not covering the news. Joe, do those connect? Nah. Or is that kind of like a dog and a cricket, if you know what I mean? They don't connect, right?

Yeah, it ain't happening, no. Nah, cricket wouldn't like it either. Not going to work. Maybe not the dog either. Not going to happen. That's CNN in a nutshell. You know, we'd like to talk about the biggest story of the century, potential fraudulent election,

but let's not because Biden said focus on the transition. Yes, they get on one knee. Yes, of course. Of course, we will do that for you. Shall we lay palm fronds down in front of you so you can walk on them as well? Shall we spray you with scented oils, big dumpsters around?

What else shall we do? What else? Would you like a cup of coffee, Java, maybe a chamomile tea? Brian Stelter, coffee boy, can go get it for you when he's not playing George Costanza on Seinffeld what else can we do what was that was that a sound effect you're just doing it if it was it was hysterically you totally missed that ah unintended all right i gotta wrap this up i gotta go i got a thing in a minute here like what do we care about your thing

do the show i know but the show's already around. So ladies and gentlemen, you know, we're not talkers here. I talk for a living, but we do when we have to do. So I told you that my good friend down in North Carolina who owns Apex Tattoo Factory, Jax, actually I haven't known Jax, but I like to support people who fight the good fight. He dared, air quotes, to open up his business in the middle of these ridiculous North Carolina shutdowns because he had to feed his kids. You know, crazy things like that, Joe, trying to feed your kids and family. What a maniac. So Jax was promptly arrested, the owner of Apex Tattoo Factory.

Well, I had promised you on the show that to support Jax and others that I was going to fly up there and go get a tattoo from Jax. Here's the video if you'd like to see it. Rumble.com slash Bongino. That's me and my formerly incredibly muscular back before chemo where I'm down like 10 pounds. Totally disappointing. Look at that. Self-praise. Thanks, Dan.

The case against Jax, arresting him for daring to open his business, was dismissed. Oh, right. So I will repeat my favorite line. Isn't that great news, Joe?

Yes, sir. I mean, it's great. It reminds me of a line, Joe, you're familiar with because you've heard it often. Hat tip to our pen friend. He loves when I show his pen. You can fight back, and you you can win and people will stand with you. And my good friend, Ginny Thomas had the greatest line ever one time. She said, folks,
