every seven days shocker how that happens so big weekend update joe and i would chat about it because joe i don't know if you know this joe was a musician like an actual musician you know not one uh you know when these guys actually made a living out of doing it. And I went to the Morgan Wallen concert this weekend. So everybody I saw there who came up and was super nice to me. I'm extremely flattered. I don't get out of my house much. It was just amazing to have all these people around.

I may have had a couple too many beverages. I'm not a beer drinker or anything like that. But when you're drinking tall boy type things and you drink five of the 24 ounces and you're usually like a tequila shot guy or wine, how I made it on Monday, I'm not sure. All I know is if you're on my locals account and you look at my face and I put a video up at the Morgan Wallen concert. You will see I was way past the point of inebriation, but it was fun. I had a blast. Thank you to the police officers there who showed me a lot of hospitality. I appreciate that. You guys are great.

I met Kid Rock's family this weekend too. Was out of my favorite, one of my favorite Italian joints, Evo in Tequesta. Ran into Kid Rock's family. Couldn't have been nicer. Watched the show. But crazy story for you, man. Me and Paula, we're going to chill this weekend after the concert, right? The Morgan Wallen concert. So we get a hotel room down in Palm Beach. I don't know. So we're in this hotel, right? And we're thinking, oh, we're just going to relax. Maybe we'll go by the pool. And what happens? Walk in the lobby, Joe. And there's a conservative conference in the breakers. I get a text not two seconds after walking in from a donor of mine when I ran for office.

Dan, everybody said you're at the breakers. Is this true? That was it. That was game on. Dude, I'm leaving the next day and who do i run into you're never gonna believe it i ran into nancy mace i don't believe it we we had a nice conversation she was very kind to me even though it was rough on her on the show yeah let her know my yeah oh yeah we had a great conversation let Let her know my concerns. She said she'd take them to heart about the abortion issue. So we're going to continue to report the news. But I was impressed. She came right over.

It was very nice. Introduced herself. And it was an interesting weekend in more ways than one. We'll have to save that for an unfiltered show on Friday afternoon. That's in the works. First, let's get to this. Folks, Biden's obviously running for reelection. We know that. This is going to be a huge news week. Stay with us this week. We got Title 42. I will share my password with you, Jim. Yes,

Jim is here. Producer Jim, he wants to share a password, which just popped up on my screen here. So did you get it? There you go. We got Title 42 expiring this week. So we are about to undergo an invasion. We got the debt ceiling and we got the Hunter Biden story about to blow up. This is all with Joe Biden at an approval rating, folks. We have not seen, I think, ever in modern times. He is now at 36 percent approval, meaning if you were to pick 100 people in a room, because liberals have a tough time with math, you would have a really hard time just randomly picking out a person that likes Joe Biden right now. This is catastrophic for Joe Biden. Black voter support is at an all-time low. Red State is a story. It's in my newsletter today.

Dropped 30 points on black voter approval. This is apocalyptic for him. You know it's bad when even the left-wing media, which has their lips surgically attached to this guy's ass. dropped 30 points on black voter approval. This is apocalyptic for him. You know it's bad when even the left-wing media, which has their lips surgically attached to this guy's ass, you can't win with 36% approval. You can't. I just want you to be,

I'm not saying things can't change. Politics, a year and a half in politics time is like 700 years. Things could change, and we should not get out ahead of ourselves and take a victory lap like we mistakenly did. Many of us, me included, before the last election thinking, listen, we're going to clean house. We could take back the Senate and we got our asses kicked. I ain't doing that again. However, having Joe Biden at 36% approval and the media reporting on it is crazy, crazy. And what's even crazier is this is going to get a lot worse.

Here, listen to this media report on this. Check this out. President Biden is facing his lowest approval rating yet and trailing behind top Republican contenders in a potential 2024 matchup. A new ABC News Washington Post poll finding only 36 percent of Americans approve of the president. Not only his career low, but numerically the lowest on record for any first-term president. The lowest on record. The lowest on record for any first-term president. Folks, this is apocalyptic for this guy.

Now, I'm not just reporting on that to poke fun at the guy. I'm reporting on that because this show is tactical. It's designed to give you some tools. This is about to get worse. This is about to get worse, but do not make the mistake we made last time in the midterms where we start thinking Biden and the Democrats suck so bad that people are just going to turn out. That's not what happened last time because it wasn't bad enough. However, it's about to get bad. And it's our job as Republicans, not only to fix things, but to highlight what the problems are and the danger of the situation. So people understand it is bad enough to vote now.

Do you get what I'm saying? People didn't understand in the midterms how bad it was. The mainstream media ran a lot of interference. It is our job to get the message out first on title 42. First, Joe reminded me of this one time. I should never assume people just understand what all this stuff is. It's not a shot in anyone at all. Right. You all have important jobs. This isn't a job. Okay.

I love what I do. I don't consider this work. You all work for a living. You built this place. You fly people around on planes. You defend it in the military. You don't have time to sit around all day reading about title 42. Some of you do. Some of you don't have that kind of time. That's my job for you. That's what I do. You don't have time to sit around all day reading about Title 42. Some of you do. Some of

you don't have that kind of time. That's my job for you. That's what I do. You don't owe us anything. I owe you everything. Title 42 is basically a public health measure that allows the United States to turn people around at our borders because of COVID. It has been a key measure to getting a lot of illegals to do a U-turn and turn around. When that disappears and they claim a credible fear standard for asylum, you understand they're going to let them in the country because there's no more remain in Mexico, right? Not as we had it under Trump, remain in Mexico policy. So basically that expires this Thursday. I need you to understand that this week you are going to see an invasion of the United States by any reasonable analysis

of what that term means. The numbers are staggering. I'll show you them in a minute from our border chief. I just want you to listen to this first. This is Kyrsten Sinema. Kyrsten Sinema. Dan, isn't she a Democrat senator from Arizona? Yes, she is. You didn't say that wrong. No, she's a Democrat. It's the Democrats are now starting to turn on Biden because they realize when the drone footage kicks in this Thursday of tens of thousands of people a day,

a day, you hear what I'm telling you? A day filtering into our country, unimpeded by anyone and processed right in. They're starting to realize that now in this next election, people may realize that it is, in fact, bad enough. The Democrats are going to turn. Here's the first crack in the wall. Kyrsten Sinema saying, hey, these clowns had two years to prepare for this. It's not as if they didn't know Title 42 was going to expire. And they did jack squat and jack left town.

Check this out. The Biden administration had two years to prepare for this and did not do so and our state is going to bear the brunt and migrants will be in crisis as soon as next week it will be a humanitarian crisis because we are not prepared david ray brings up a good point in the chat technically she isn't independent i get the point she's she's a democrat okay i should say that let me say that david that's a good point she's a Democrat, okay? I should say that, but let me say that, David, that's a good point. She's a non-Republican and a non-conservative. Is that a better way to describe it? Just because she's an independent does not mean she's with us. And I always caution people, if you're not with us, you're against us in politics. It's as simple as that. Kirsten Sinema is no friend of ours. People may like her for her independent streak or whatever.

Fine. You like whoever you want. You don't need to like her. her independent streak or whatever. You know, fine. You like whoever you want. You don't need to like her. You're not dating her, okay? We need to vote for people who can enact conservative policies, not non-conservatives. And she is a non-conservative. However, when she's speaking out, you know they've got a serious problem. I want you to look at these numbers, folks. They are straight up apocalyptic.

This is the U.S. Border Patrol chief, Chief Raul Ortiz. Now, he's talking about the impressive work the Border Patrol did and salute to the men and women over there busting their ass every day to try to do an impossible job. You have my respect and you always will. But this is, folks, this is just apocalyptic. This is one week, folks. But this is, folks, this is just apocalyptic. This is one week, folks.

Two agents assaulted, 54,000 apprehensions, 18,000 gotaways, $714,000 seized, 101 pounds of cocaine, 1,000 pounds of weed, 2,700 pounds of meth, 138 pounds of fentanyl, 16 firearms, six sex offenders, seven gang members. That's a year? No, no, that's a week. That's a week. That's one week. Eight. Eight. Eight. That's actually, if you go by getaways, that's 18,000. 18, 18. Approximate get 18,000. Gotaways. Gotaways. 54,000 apprehensions. By the way, the gotaways, that's not even like a real number because if they got away, how do you know? It's probably closer to 30,000.

Right. Ladies and gentlemen, we are under an invasion. Wait till Thursday when Title 42 expires and we don't have the ability to say you can't come in. Health restrictions, you have to go back. Apocalyptic. Absolutely apocalyptic numbers. It's true, Martin. The county i live in has about 30 000 people so think about it you've got maybe 60 i don't even know that is it's the whole county in a week

i mean this is insane these numbers are totally untenable now democrats are starting to turn cinema a non-conservative here's a democrat a democrat mayor in new york because now they're starting to flail now they're really concerned because their people are speaking out. I'm going to show you a video from Chicago residents who happen to be black, which doesn't matter by us, but Democrats seem to love identity politics, like I'm going to demonstrate here with the Democrat mayor of New York, Eric Adams, who also happens to be black and throws the race card whenever he can. He's got a history of doing this. He was on a cable news network and he was arguing that, listen, they're sending all of these people coming in from Texas and Arizona, these border states to our states because we're black.

And even the host on the liberal network is like, wait, they sent people to Philadelphia too. The mayor there is white. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter to him. Although the fact that his point was just thoroughly annihilated, he still keeps going. I want you to watch this. Check this out. What I'm making clear of the fact, not based on my opinion, he sent them to New York City, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Denver. But also Philadelphia, which has a white mayor. All of the, I have not received any reports from Philadelphia. I believe that he sent them to black cities. I mean, mayors were black mayors are. And I don't know if it's if it's to undermine these large cities that are run by black mayors because of his political agenda.

I don't know if he's doing it before the race. I'm giving the facts of where he has sent them to Washington, D.C. These are cities that have black mayors. And that is a fact. That is not my opinion. And that is not defining why he's doing it. I'm laying out the facts. But you acknowledge, I mean, we did the research.

He did send them to Philadelphia as well. Does that change your view? No, not at all. I love it when Republicans are like, Eric Adams, man,'s such a, Eric Adams, man, he's a reasonable guy. This guy is a moron. He's just told by the host on a liberal net, what was that, CNN? He hadn't even said, CNN, whatever, doesn't make a difference, right? It's not Fox or Newsmax, right?

He's on CNN, and the host is like, no, no, no, he sent him to a city with a white mayor, too, who's a Democrat. Is that going to change your mind at all about he's sending them to all black cities with all black mayors? I mean, no, it doesn't change my mind. Of course it doesn't change his mind. And nothing he's saying is based in reality. He's just making it up. This is how desperate they are to change the argument now. And by the way, if being a sanctuary city like people like Eric Adams and other big city liberal mayors, is such a net positive for your community, then simple question, what are you bitching about, man? What are you bitching about?

What are you whining about? I don't understand. What are you creating to stink? I thought being a sanctuary city was so worth it that you pass specific legislation to give carve-outs to people who entered the country illegally. So you want them, but now you don't want them when they actually show up? Sounds to me like you're a fraud. Glad we actually stand for something in the conservative movement. By the way, for as weak as the GOP's been in the past, they've been making some decent moves lately. Not game changers, I don't think,

but they're making some decent moves. Even Playbook had a report this morning that they've got Biden by the short ones right now. The House Republicans are expected to pass an immigration bill on Thursday, the day Title 42 ends, which would codify Trump's immigration policies, including remain in Mexico.

What's Biden going to say now? What's he going to do as the flood comes in on Thursday when Title 42 ends? The same day Republicans in the House pass a bill that would stop this by enacting and legislating remain in Mexico and other things. What's Biden going to say? The Republicans aren't doing anything. Sir, they actually are. They just passed this bill today. What are you going to do? I'm going to veto it. So they are doing something. You just don't like what they're doing. Checkmate, baby. Good for you. I want to show you how bad this has gotten in liberal cities. Folks, I grew up in New York. Nobody knows New York better than I do. I was a cop there. You

may know it as much, but I promise you, not better. I grew up there, met my wife there. I was a cop there. I worked there. I was an agent there. New York City, the people are pissed about this immigration crisis, folks. There are illegal immigrants everywhere in New York City, selling gum in the subway, all over the place, everywhere. They are draining the city of funds right now as they try to house all these people. But it's not just New York. Chicago residents are pissed too. Here's a bunch of Chicago residents like, hey man, listen, when do we get a shot? This is our taxpayer dollars going to fund people from other countries aren't even here legally. When do we get a shot at our own taxpayer dollars first?

Here, take a listen. Slap in the face that we as citizens of the United States of America do not have the resources and support, but you're going to bring people who are not citizens here in our community, in our buildings that we pay taxes for, that you took away from us. That is completely unacceptable. Now, fellas, what have we been saying in the eight years we've been doing this podcast, Joe, about liberalism?

That liberalism and cancel culture by nature are cannibalistic. Yes. You cannot. We have repeated this point ad nauseum to the point where you're going to need the syrup of Ipecac if you hear it again. This is what I'm talking about. Hippocampus, you hear it again. This is what I'm talking about. The conservative movement, which limits the role of government in your life,

limits the role of government to take things from you as well. Liberals don't do that. Liberals want an endless stream of government spending, which requires an endless stream of what? Government taking from you. Here's the catch. Eventually, government runs out of people to take stuff from and has to start taking stuff from the groups. It pretends it's giving stuff to while they're taking from others.

Does this make sense? Key. You get what I'm saying here? Joe's heard this a thousand times. Eventually you run out of people to take stuff from. So if you're going to be in New York city where all the conservatives moved to Florida, eventually to finance this crap, you're going to have to start taking from liberals.

And the liberals are like, wait, scratchy heady. You're taking my tax dollars to pay for people in the country illegally? This is my city first. Somehow they still fall for the tax the rich thing. they fall for the gilded age nonsense too hopefully i'll get to that later they can't because they're suckers but i'm telling you it's about to get bad enough telling you relax you blame okay i'm telling you we were laughing about that we had a little company uh dinner last night jim's at town and we were laughing relax you blame me i'm telling you all All right. It's going to get worse. This 36% approval, that may be Biden's high point in the coming weeks. It's going to get worse. We

just hit title 42. I want to tell you just quickly about the debt ceiling, a Hunter update and a Tucker Fox scenario, which again, just continues to get weirder and weirder and weirder. I mean, they are, this is a, someone's going to have to explain this. I don't know how much longer this can continue. So I got an interesting update on that. Appreciate your patience. These sponsors want to talk to you. They're great companies.

You're going to need it this week.

So the debt ceiling crisis is going to come to a, it's going to have to come to a close soon. Biden is in a piss poor negotiating position right now because Joe Biden doesn't have a leg to stand on. The house just passed, led by Republicans, a debt ceiling hike. Ladies and gentlemen, it's a bankruptcy bill like anything else. The problem is the house really didn't have a choice. They really didn't. They didn't have a choice. I don't apologize for anyone. I'm just telling you the hard reality of the voting math.

We don't have the Senate. So better to get something and put Biden in a box than get nothing and allow Biden to claim Republicans are doing nothing. It's just simple voting math. I wish it weren't, but we didn't do well enough in the last election. We just didn't. If we would have taken back the Senate, we could have pushed a much more aggressive bill. But voting reality is voting reality. It sucks. I get it. I totally get it. But we got to deal with the hard reality and real politic of the numbers we have right now. We got a bill. There were some concessions in it. Biden still don't want to negotiate. Now he's resorted to outright lying. He did this disastrous interview with Stephanie Ruhl. It was an abomination.

Here he is just making stuff up, claiming he cut the debt by $1.7 trillion. Folks, that's just an absolute lie, garbage, totally made up nonsense talking point. Here, take a listen. In the first two years of my administration, I cut the debt by $1.7 trillion. He did? $1.7 trillion more than anybody's ever done in history. Where's my money? Did you miss that?

Yes. I didn't see it. There we go. Can we get some Muttleys in the chat here, please? Can we get some Muttleys? That's a double. That's definitely a double Muttley. Folks, this took me, I don't know, 10 seconds to tease the public debt of the United States from 1990 to 2020.

Here's the national debt in 2020, 26.9 trillion. 2021, 28.4 trillion. Now in 2022, $30.928 trillion. 26, 28, 30.9. Where Biden gets 1.7 trillion in debt cuts depth in debt cuts i mean he he's just entirely full of crap he's making it up now is he confusing it with the deficit uh that's not what he said he said the debt motley makes his return we haven't had a monthly get some months in there we got some there we go i see a few mutleys in the chat we got gro Groover too. M Gaffney too. Nice, strong. Love this audience.

You all are the best. So he's just making that up, but the debt ceiling is going to get ugly for him because he's in a bad spot. Needs you to understand for however terrible the Republican bill is, we should have had massive cuts in there. It was the best they could do. They don't have a big enough majority and now Biden's in a bad spot, but moving on, that's going to get ugly for him this week. He's got, you understand he's got nowhere to go. What's he going to say? The Republicans aren't doing anything on immigration. Sir, we just passed the bill this Thursday to reinstitute remain in Mexico. The Republicans aren't doing anything on the debt ceiling. Sir, we actually just passed the debt ceiling hike last week. The guy has nothing.

He's in a corner flailing. He's got nothing. He's got nothing. And this is all going down while the case against his son gets ugly. Jim Comer was on cable this weekend. He's doing oversight in the House on the Hunter Biden case, a Republican, obviously. And Comer said to the DOJ, do not indict this guy until Wednesday, until after now. Why would a Republican be telling the DOJ don't indict Hunter Biden yet? I'll give you a second on that one. Anyone in the chat room have any ideas? Because Jim Comer knows what I told you last week is true. Jim Comer is a Republican congressman. He's all over this Hunter case.

The DOJ is actually eager to indict Hunter Biden right now before more information comes out. Why is that? Because there's nothing more the DOJ and President Biden want to do after a Hunter Biden indictment than to say, oh, we can't talk about this Hunter Biden case. It's an active investigation. There's an indictment. Jim Comer knows that. So Jim Comer is saying, don't you do anything until we launch this information we've got on Wednesday. It's Monday. We will obviously stay on top of this. We'll be reporting on it either Wednesday or Thursday, depending on how late they

put it out, but we'll see what happens. But I just want to caution the Republican party. And I know a lot of you out there in the chat, listening on podcasts, listening on radio later. I know a lot of you agree with me. I don't know how to say this in a diplomatic way, so I'm not going to try. Stop jerking us around. I mean it. I like Jim Comer and others, and I'm not suggesting he's doing that. I want to be clear. But if you've got something, then you better make sure you put the heat on and the pressure. We're getting tired of all this crap about this is coming and that's coming and all this is, no, no, no. Let's get something done. Action.

No more talk. Now, the Hunter case is getting ugly. There's no doubt about it. The question is, is it going to result in anything? It appears now that this former CIA chief, this will be in my newsletter today, Bongino.com slash newsletter if you want to read these stories. It appears the ex-CIA chief, Mike Morrell, who's alleged to have organized that infamous letter inferring that the Hunter

Biden laptop may have been Russian disinformation. The former CIA chief, it's now being reported that he told people he was going to clear this letter with the CIA first. Folks, whether he did or didn't, that he even implied this should say to you that our intelligence agencies at the top have been entirely corrupted. The target right now is not foreign governments, ladies and gentlemen. The target right now is you. That swamp is real and it is powerful. And showing you how arrogant and cocky this guy really is. Biden has no intention whatsoever of backing down on this absurd and obscene name. The logic this guy applies towards defending his son is so calculated and disingenuous. It's hard to sum up.

I get it. I'm a father. I understand the love a father has for a child. But folks, I have people in my family who've had significant and serious problems. I promise you right now, if they got caught in a crime doing serious stuff, I'm not going to be on the show

absolving them of the crime. They got to face the consequences for that. This guy has no ability to see how much damage his son is doing. Here he is on some of the same on the same Stephanie Rule interview. And this is, make no mistake, a signal to the Department of Justice. You better not

mess with my son saying, oh, I support my son. I'm so proud of him. Here, check this out. My son's done nothing wrong. I trust him. I have faith in him. And it impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him. You don't think that's a signal to the DOJ? Come on, man.

Come on. I mean, seriously, to the libs who watch my show and send us death threats and stuff like that, you really believe that isn't a signal to Merrick Garland? Better go easy on my son. Now watch what happens if he gets indicted. All this conversation is going to change. He's still going to, oh, I love my son. He's so great. He's so wonderful. But. All this conversation is going to change. He's still going to, oh, I love my son.

He's so great. He's so wonderful. But watch, the conversation is going to change. I can't talk about the details. There's an indictment involved here. That's exactly what's going on here. That's why they want this guy indicted. Don't think about this the opposite way.

Oh, I don't want my son. No, he does want his son indicted. He knows nothing's going to happen. way. Oh, I don't want my son. No, he does want his son indicted. He knows nothing's going to happen. The whole judicial system's been taken hostage by these liberals. All right, I want to get to my next sponsor. And I have an update, came out this weekend, big Axios exclusive on the Tucker Fox situation. Apparently, some people claim to be in his inner circle or speaking out. So we'll see what happens with that. But listen, this scenario is moving rapidly towards assured destruction.

I didn't say mutually assured destruction because at this point, it's been one way. Box is going to have to explain this or get the guy back on the air. I don't see any way out for them. I don't see no way out for them at this point. The ratings apocalypse has been just so destructive. I can't see how it's a functioning business at the levels. It's a publicly traded company.

So this came out over the weekend. I have some thoughts on this. Again, I'm trying to remove myself from the story, but having some relationships there without giving a private conversation, it'll be unfair. But I do have some decent insight into what's going on here. And there was a scoop by Axios this weekend, I mean, literally titled Scoop, Tucker Carlson ready to torch Fox News. Read this article. It's in my newsletter. news read this article i mean it's in my newsletter at one you know you guys are right you guys are you guys are the best audience sorry just give me some water there you go

yeah thank you here's what they're suggesting what's that that was cracking mcgroy man mcgroy is really generous axios has learned tucker carlson is busy plotting a media empire of his own, but he needs Fox to let him out of his contract, which we're now learning expires in January of 2025 after the presidential election. Now, hold this up there for a minute. Leave that up on the screen. Here's the deal. As a commentator myself, who's an activist first, and again, I know Tucker, we're not coffee buddies and we don't have coffee together, but the guy is a believer. He is an activist first. The money part is always nice, but I assure you it's secondary.

The guy will be fine with money either way. I bring that up because if Fox keeps him off the air until after the presidential election, one, he's going to be devastated because he's an activist first. And second, probably the most powerful voice in right-wing media right now, Tucker Carlson, will be sidelined during a debate for the future of the country where we need him. This is insane.

Axios' scoop is we're told Carlson has been contacted by outlets, including the right-wing Rumble and Newsmax. I love how they call Rumble right wing. Is this not hilarious? By the way, as you know, I'm an equity holder in Rumble disclosure. But what makes us right wing? I don't understand. I mean, we're proud to have right wing talking heads on Rumble, but we're not right wing.

It's a free speech platform. I don't mean that as an insult. I mean it because it's a fact. It's just a free speech. I love when they say this, places like Axios, who are, by the way, actually left wing. We've got Glenn Greenwald, Russell Brand. We've got a bunch of people who are not right wing

because we actually believe in free speech. And they note that Rumble and Newsmax offered to pay him more than his Fox contract. Behind the scenes, Axios has learned that Tucker and Elon had a conversation about working together but didn't discuss specifics says people who know tucker suggests he's contemplating building a direct-to-consumer media outlet whereas millions of fans could pay to watch him basically what bill

o'reilly did listen i got a lot of thoughts on this there are a couple different ideas on how to go forward with conservative content. And if you ever want to be a talking head in this space, or even if you're a consumer of it, I'm sure this story interests you. There's two specific models. I call them the Howard Stern kind of SVOD model, right? As subscription video or subscription on demand stuff. And then you've got the free market ad supported model. Radio, this, this is free. Rumble is free.

There's no paywall here. You can go to Rumble now. You may have additional content like the Daily Wire. I have my locals account, which I provide additional content. You're always free to subscribe there if you wish. But this show is free. If you put it behind a paywall,

like Axios is suggesting, and I have no knowledge of this. And if I had a conversation with him about that, I would leave it out of this. I'm not going to share anybody's personal information. I want to be clear. The problem with subscription on demand is, listen, it's very sensitive to the economy, folks. There's nothing cheaper than free. If you're asking people to pay for something and the economy goes south, one of the first things they dump is luxury items. Ask cable news companies about that, right? The nice part about subscription on demand, in other words, say, you know, Patreon type stuff, locals and that type stuff,

is it's boycott proof. The people who are there are subbing and subscribing and paying because they want to be there. It's not going to be any boycotts, any dopey boycotts. However, the ad-supported model, my humble opinion, it's the best way to go. Folks, there are a ton. Yes, you're always going to be subjected to dopey liberal boycotts. And this is not a virtue signal.

Please listen to me, man. Oh, look at me. It's so great. It's none of that crap. I don't do that. I'm not interested. Free ad-supported. Talk radio, rumble, places like this, right? It's so great. It's none of that crap. I don't do that. I'm not interested. Free and supported. Talk radio, rumble, places like this, right?

Folks, once in a while, there's going to be some silly company that buys into the, you know, cat lady nonsense. There is a thousand companies willing to take their place. I can prove it to you right now. Folks, we run for sometimes five spots a show, like a short one, a pre-roll sometimes. You can do the math yourself and listen. Folks, we've been sold out for basically three years.

Just go back and listen. Don't take my word for it. Again, the difference between the cat lady and us is I can provide for you receipts. She can only provide to you bull stuff. That's all she can do. Go back and listen. There are enough conservative companies out there and companies who realize how stupid this cancel culture stuff is that ad supported, you can keep it free for everyone. But you can't have it both ways. I wish it were easy, folks, but somebody's got to pay for this

stuff. I mentioned the Howard Stern. Some of you are asking why I threw that in there, I wish it were easy, folks, but somebody's got to pay for this stuff. I mentioned the Howard Stern. Some of you are asking why I threw that in there, I'm sure. Because the thing is, if you're going to go subscription, where a lot of people fail in SVOD, subscription video and subscription audio, is they overestimate their appeal to an audience. I'm not saying Tucker's doing that at all. He could probably make it succeed. They're like, oh, people pay for my stuff. and then they don't. And then you're really screwed. You got to be a guy like Stern, who I'm no fan of anymore. He's a big lefty or like a Limbaugh or Tucker, someone who can demand that kind of stuff. That's the only reason I say that.

Folks, I saw this video this weekend. I'm going to get to my last sponsor. I'm going to roll with this. We got a big loaded rest of the show. I want to talk about this for a second, the Democrat primary, RFK. Folks, please don't fall for this, okay? I want to have him on the show. I respect the guy for getting in the race. I want to hear him talk. We've looked to get him on the show. I'd love to have him. I will give him his fair say. But I want to say him talk. We've looked to get him on the show. I'd love them. I will give him his fair say. But I want to say to you as a conservative first, I'm seeing a lot of people getting suckered into this. Just like, shockingly, a lot of libertarians got suckered into the Bernie Sanders thing. Well, you know, he's a principled guy, at least. He's not a principled guy.

He's a millionaire railing against capitalism. Okay? The problem I have with RFK is RFK was, there's not a single conservative principle he's going to advocate for. Now, that doesn't mean we shouldn't hear him out on certain things. His skepticism about certain healthcare products probably opened a few eyeballs. Also, this weekend he gave an interview, or this past week, Precision Matters, right?

He gave an interview, or this past week, Precision Matters, right? He gave an interview on Ukraine, which, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly what I've been telling you for years. So again, I want to have him on the show and I will absolutely hear him out. But I want to just say to you that I, unlike a Democrat, I can find common ground with people. What he's saying in this clip I'm about to play on Ukraine is absolutely what I've been telling you for years. Ukraine was a piggy bank for swampies. That's why they're all in love with Ukraine

now. Doesn't mean you've got to believe Vladimir Putin's a good guy. It doesn't mean any of that stuff. Matter of fact, RFK says that. But you should damn well be skeptical about why all these people all of a sudden find a border fight in Ukraine more interesting than a border fight here. I'm going to play that audio in a second. Let me get my last sponsor.

In case Jim decides to come by full time so he can steal every day too. Two thieves working in my office. Can you believe this? I incorporate them and what do they do? They fleece my Omaha Steaks burgers. Here, I want you to watch this. Tucker made the swamp really uncomfortable when he started talking about Ukraine and how we should at least be skeptical of what we're doing over there and look at it with a skeptical eye.

It doesn't mean you shouldn't support the cause. You're free to do that. It simply means that this old swamp unanimity, we should pour billions of dollars into Ukraine while our country's falling apart here. A lot of people started to ask questions. Conveniently, Tucker gets the boot. Here's RFK talking about how pro-Russia and pro-European factions in Ukraine have been fighting forever. I write about this in my book, Follow the Money. There's a chapter called Insane in Ukraine. Read it. Soros was involved in this. All of them. I got all the receipts in that chapter, right? Ukraine was a piggy bank for swampies. Pro-European sides were paying lobbyists to lobby the American government for support. Pro-Russia sides were lobbying all over the world to get Russian support in Ukraine. All of these swampies, ladies and gentlemen, were cashing in big time.

RFK is not wrong about this. RFK Jr., check this out. This is a war that is proceeding in a very cataclysmic trajectory. The answer to your question about how we got in this war goes back a long way. But I would say that the real story starts in 2014 when the U.S. government, and particularly the neocons in the White House and elsewhere, participated and supported the overthrow, violent overthrow, a coup d'etat against the democratically elected government of the Ukraine

and put in a very, very anti-Russian government. This prompted the Russians, who then believed that the U.S. Navy was now going to be invited into the Black Sea to have a port at Crimea. It prompted the Russians to preemptively invade Crimea. At the same time, the government that came into the Ukraine began enacting a series of laws that turned the Russian populations of the Donbass region into second-class citizens. They illegalized, essentially, their culture, their language, and they began ultimately killing them. They killed 14,000 of them.

And it prompted a civil war in the country. Oh, hold on. Folks, listen, man. I don't give a damn if you buy this thing or borrow it from a friend or go to the library. I don't care. Believe me, I'm not in this for the money anymore. I promise you. This book, Follow the Money, there is a chapter and here's what it looks like. Insane in Ukraine is the chapter. I go over all of this. He is not wrong. I disagree with this guy on healthcare, on taxes, on education, on a lot of stuff, but he is not wrong. What he's saying there is accurate.

The reason everybody's all in on Ukraine is they all want to keep the piggy bank going. This has been a piggy bank for years. Soros people using NGOs who corrupted FBI people who later want to work for Soros' people in Ukraine while they attack Soros' business partners. By the way, while both Republicans and Democrats, don't give the GOP a pass, people who are Republicans and Democrats went over there as lobbyists, lobbying for the Russian side, the European side. It was a piggy bank. The story's not complicated. RFK is damn right. This was the Hatfields versus the McCoys, but here's the difference, Joe. The Hatfields had billions of dollars to lobby people and so did the McCoys.

And they paid off government people to pitch both sides. And nobody wants the piggy bank to dry up. And who's at the center of this whole thing? One Joseph Robinette Biden, whose son was making bank in Ukraine too. Now you see why they're trying to make this thing go away? He is not wrong. Listen to that whole thing, by the the way it goes on for like five

minutes but that's the crux of it all right uh geed i should have told you do you have that uh thing you put together my campaign sign me supporting reparations do you have that by h he puts again i i've said for a while i've said said for a while now that I'm not joking either. I absolutely support reparations in the state of California. Dan, you're a conservative heresy. How dare you say that? No, no, no. I think this is a great idea. Remember what I told you. I'm a tactical guy. First, I'm an activist at heart, folks. I'm not a blowhard. I want to see things change. You got it? So here it is. Guy was kind enough to put this together. We have a little campaign sign. I asked him a while ago. I knew this would come in handy. Dan Bongino supports reparations. I'm all in. This is not a joke. I have one stipulation,

so you'll see in this Daily Mail report that a California panel approved reparations of up to $1.2 million each for black residents. However, that's not enough. This reverend in the area, Joe, he was pissed. He wants $200 million per person here. You've probably seen this guy. Check this guy out. From the 1860s for 40 acres today is $200 million for each and every African American. You're not supposed to be afraid. You're not supposed to be afraid.

You're just supposed to tell the truth. You're not supposed to be the gatekeepers you're supposed to say what the people want yes yes i loved what's his name yes whoever you are reverend i am in your corner 200 million for every black resident of california here's why stipulation first to get my support. And the stipulation's on my campaign sign. It's got to be payable immediately.

It's got to be cash. There's no credit, no IOUs, no nothing. Payable immediately. Now, it's not going to be one of these things where payable over time, you get this amount. No, no. The $200 million, every black resident should get it this year, Joe, this year. And it should be billed immediately because California can't print

its own money to every single liberal voter votes for it. No conservative should have to pay for this. Liberals, you should be able to go in and show the I voted sticker and you should be billed immediately for the 200 million each. With those stipulations, I absolutely support this thing. Why? Because of how I opened up the show with Joe Biden's 36% approval rate. Ladies and gentlemen, it's just not bad enough yet. The country sadly is not going to change, right? Producer Jim, you were in New York with me. You remembered it. Eventually it got bad enough. right producer Jim you were in New York with me you remembered it eventually it got bad enough people were getting murdered three and four a day and New York City voted for Rudy Giuliani it's not bad enough you want to make things bad enough really quick I want a bill to show up

in the house of every liberal in California who voted for this and voted for these Democrats for I don't even know what it's going to cost them. Five, 6 million each payable immediately. Sell your homes, sell your cars, finance your future piece of cake right now. Piece of cake, baby. You wanted it.

You voted for this, that reverence, right? 200 million each. Look at this. The relaxium lady. Here she is. I'm telling you she's on.

She's on right. She's just on drug free, not addictive. No, it's just, I'm telling you, this is the greatest idea ever. You want it to get bad enough? It'll get bad enough. Pass reparations.

Payable right away. Right away. No installment plan. Every liberal who votes for this should pay it right away. Do you get less money? I don't know how it's going to work. I mean, you start getting into some really uncomfortable questions, right? Like, does this include, you know, people who are, say, from the Caribbean?

Does this include people? I mean, how are you going to prove that? The questions get real. But again, it's not our questions. We didn't vote for this. You know, they voted for this. I mean, I asked the common sense question a couple of weeks ago, too. You know, what about Asian-Americans who were illegally interned during World War II? I mean, do they get reparations too? What about American

Indians? Do they get reparations? I mean, what about people who were potentially indentured servants and subjected to slavery-like conditions as well? I mean, do they get that? The questions are innumerable. But again, nobody's thought this through because they're liberals. They never think things through. I wanted to. They never think things through. I wanted to play this before we go through. It's a couple more things here. What is this one? Oh, this is the.

So again, in New York, there was this incident. This guy, Jordan Neely, dies. He's on a train threatening people. He's confronted by a Marine. The situation gets bad. They fall on the ground. Marines subdues them with what appears to be a strangle in the jiu-jitsu, a carotid restraint.

The guy unfortunately dies during the thing. It had nothing to do with cops. The guy was a civilian. It was a New York City subway incident you heard all about. I want you to watch in this dystopian, disconnected from reality that we live in right now, how these useful idiots in the Democrat Party work. This situation involving Jordan Neely, the guy who died in the subway, right? There was no cop involved. As a matter of fact, the police are now investigating the guy who did it, even though I think it was a legitimate self-defense scenario, right?

So the police are investigating. It had nothing to do with this. Here's, and this is the idiocracy right here. Here's a crazed, deranged protester screaming in the face of a cop about how he's taking back black lives, despite the fact

that there was, by the way, a black man was involved in this and helping restrain Jordan Neely as well, that there was no cop involved, and the cops are investigating it right now. Here, check this out. Your officers took black lives. Your officers took black lives. Your officers took black lives. Your officers took black lives.

Your officers took black lives. Your officers took black lives. Your officers took black lives. Remember, folks, this is the idiocracy at work. That woman in there, I don't even know. They don't even know what a woman is. I don't even know. Is it a they, a she, a joe? I don't even know what the pronouns are.

Yeah, who even knows? It's just fascinating how she's up in the cop's face screaming something. It has nothing to do with the situation at all, despite the fact it's being investigated. This is what Yuri Bezmenov, the KGB defector, warned us about. About filthy slob liberals. Filthy slobs. You hear me slob? Use my words deliberately. Filthy slob liberals destroying this country like a metastasizing cancer.

They are so stupid until you drag them to the concentration camps themselves, as you said, and show them the horror in front of them and kick them in the bottom and lock the door. They will never realize that they are the cause of the rotting of this country from the inside out. The idiocracy in full effect. Is the cop black? And the woman looks white, right? Am I crazy? I don't even know. I mean, it doesn't even matter. This is how crazy it is. It doesn't even matter. It's so beyond the realm of like sanity now we're totally gone speaking of useful idiots here's another one don't let them change the narrative on the school closings okay the parents out there are pissed and they're really afraid the liberals that is are afraid

that parents are going to show up in 2024 like they did in the virginia governor's election and blame the democrats for what they did which which was shut down schools. The Democrats are financed by the teachers unions led by this idiot, Randy Weingarten, who is out there now trying to rewrite history, suggesting she was for opening up schools. She was not. What she did is she put a bunch of untenable conditions in front of people so schools would never open. And the video evidence is everywhere. Here's just a minute of it.

Hat tip Tom Elliott over at Grabian. Randy Weingarten making it impossible to open up schools. Check this out. Members of that 25,000 strong union voted in the majority to stay at home for at least another two days to defy Chicago public schools orders to return to the classroom. Does the AFT stand 100 percent behind the Chicago Union? So, of course, we stand 100 percent behind the Chicago Union. Is this semester, is this school year probably not going to have full school openings? Well, so let me I'm glad you asked that question, Chuck, because what does full school opening mean? If you do six feet of physical distancing,

you're essentially saying in a school, you're going to have about 50% or 60% of people in there at any one time, not 100%. If we get the testing, the vaccine prioritization, and these mitigation strategies, 85% of them are comfortable being in school. So essentially, we put our money where our mouth is, which is, if it's really important to do, we've got a roadmap, let's make it happen. But that's a lot of ifs. Everyone is asking, when and how are we getting our students, our children back into those classrooms full time? So full time is going to depend upon what's going on with physical distancing and and what's going on with the variants. Folks, I mean, I don't know how much again at video evidence you need to prove the idiocracy is the idiocracy.

But these people just lie to you all the time. Just like Biden suggesting his son is some beacon of goodwill. Just like Biden suggesting he cut the debt by 1.7 trillion. Just like Biden suggesting, you know, they have a plan for the border, even though Kyrsten Sinema is saying they have no plan at all. Just like Randy Weingart. Oh, we were all for opening schools, except we were for closing school. They're full of crap all the time. Told you I'd get to that Gilded Age story.

May sound a little weird, but I'll try to get to that tomorrow. It's an important one because the Democrats are trotting this out again to engage in economic warfare. Folks, this is going to be a loaded week. Please stay with us this week. We got Title 42. We got Hunter Biden. We got the Tucker story continuing.
