And also listen to the liberals out there shifting gears and the bureaucracy and the Democrats in charge right now, notably the Biden administration. Stop playing dumb. Signaling matters. How you talk about things matter.

I'm going to prove it to you and how they're talking about things that are. It's the very act of the way they talk about it that is causing more problems, whether it's oil, national security, Ukraine. We'll get to that, too. Also, is China having second thoughts and two systems of, quote, justice? What happened with the truckers yesterday was unforgivable. New rules theory is back. And also, The New York Times finally acknowledges we were right the entire time about Hunter Biden. They're only about a year and a half too late.

Man, I was so convinced you were going to do an Irish accent and saying, I was so convinced you were going to do this. I'm so sure you were looking for me. I threw you a curveball there. I was, yeah, you did throw me a curveball there. I'm knowing you like I know you, but that's okay. Sometimes I'm wrong. So Democrats, dear Democrats, liberal media buff me a curveball there. I'm knowing you like I know you, but that's okay. Sometimes I'm wrong. So Democrats, dear Democrats, liberal media buffoons,

stop playing dumb. Signaling matters. How you talk about things matter. We live in a market, not just an economic market, but a market for national security services and elsewhere, where how you talk about things, and if you talk about them the wrong way, can make a bad event that wouldn't

have happened otherwise happens. Everybody, let me explain to you what I mean here. Whether it's inflation, whether it's national defense, whether it's energy, whether it's immigration, you saying something can cause a bad event that wouldn't have happened to happen. In other words, if you say, and you signal with a wink and a nod, you get it, Joe, Hey, listen, you know, when I get into office, we're not going to prosecute illegal immigrants. We're not going to turn them over to ICE. That just may, in a sane world,

incentivize people who want to come to the country illegally to come to the country illegally en masse. It's not like that ever happened, though, right? It actually did. Here's what I mean. Signals matter. How you talk about things matter. This is who you voted for. Here's Joe Biden two years ago, hat tip RNC researcher, pulled this up, talking about

illegal immigration, asked a simple question. If we catch people at the border, will you turn them over to ICE if they're entering the country illegally? Clear as day, Joe Biden sent a signal what was going to happen, and that signal is going to lead to the story that broke yesterday that I'm going to get to you in a second. Check this out. Vice President Biden, you opposed Sanctuary Series as a presidential candidate in 2007. Where do you stand now? Should undocumented immigrants arrested by local police be turned over to immigration officials? No.

There you go. Signals matter. Signals No. There you go. Signals matter. Signals matter. How you talk matters. People heard that. How do we know they've heard that? Because you've got 100,000 plus,

150,000 plus people. And those are just the ones we know about crossing the border illegally ever since Biden got into office. Those numbers weren't anywhere close to those numbers under Trump. Why? Because signals, now you talk't anywhere close to those numbers under Trump. Why? Because signals, now you talk about things matter. Look at this story.

Here's what makes me bring this up today in relationship to this, immigration, national defense, inflation, and more stuff. Axios, John Swan and Steph W. Knight, or Kite. Scoop. Biden officials fear a mass migration event if COVID policy's in. You mean a mass, where do you have a mass migration event? It's a mass, mass migration event? Here's the story here they're reporting. Title 42, which has been used to deport people, especially under the Trump administration,

under this COVID emergency, they can turn you around and send you back. They should be able to turn you around and send you back. They should be able to turn you around and send you back if you're here illegally. It seems kind of obvious, no? But Title 42 has to be renewed every 60 days. The Biden administration is seriously considering dumping Title 42 in April. Ladies and gentlemen, without Title 42

and without an administration that's going to turn people over to ICE, either prosecute them or send them back to enter the country legally, not via illegal routes, if that ends in April, you think the illegal migration we've had now is bad? Folks, this is just the beginning. Now, instead of the Biden administration looking to do something significant and send a message, hey, please, you cannot. You cannot come here. We are going you cannot come. We are going to prosecute. We are going to prosecute for the crime of not entering through a port of entry in the United

States. They're talking about, quote, if you read the piece, it's in the newsletter, coordinating flights between, quote, DHS facilities using Department of Defense and U.S. Marshal Service aircraft and private flights using these two entities sounds to me like they're planning to do the same thing they've been doing the whole time pursuant to another mass migration just throw people on planes and transport them around the country signals matter how you talk about something matters this is what you voted for on the left you voted for people who don't understand that words from the president of the United States mouth have meaning. Words from the president's

cabinet have meaning. Here's our energy secretary, Jennifer Granholm, Biden's energy secretary. She's at a clean energy conference. She's asked about clean energy. Clean energy. We're in the middle of this massive crisis right now. We need oil and gas, period. We don't need pipe dreams about windmills that Obama and the Martha's Vineyard crowd don't want. We don't need pipe dreams about solar and all this other stuff. We need it now.

You want to build that stuff in the future? Great. I love solar. It's a good idea if you can afford it. It's not the solution now. Here's Granholm's answer. Again, signaling they are totally not serious. Signaling that this crisis, you would think a serious person would say what? This crisis in gas prices and fuel.

What would a serious person say, Joe? They'd say, well, this is an opportunity now to develop our vast resource of petrochemicals and get the damn gas in the pumps cheaper. Nope, not at all. Signaling. Here's Granholm suggesting, no, no, this is just an opportunity to push more green energy crap through Congress that has no chance of bringing down the price of the pump. Matter of fact, it's going to raise your electric bill. Check this out. There is a lot of conversation that is happening right now in saying that this crisis in Europe and the crisis our allies are facing and the reduction of supply of natural gas and oil from Russia creates a moment that we should be acting. I mean, we heard President Zelensky. We do not want to see any country that is held hostage to Vladimir Putin. And this is a moment for Congress to be able to act.

She's not talking about pumping more oil, folks. Signaling matters. secretary under the Biden administration does not talk seriously or talks down the production of oil and gas, just like Biden talked down prosecutions of illegal immigrants. What happens? The oil markets respond. The futures markets respond. The price of oil is not going to come down dramatically until hard commitments are made, shockingly, to produce more oil. Supply, Until hard commitments are made, shockingly, to produce more oil. Supply, demand, supply, demand, supply, demand. Intersection, market clearing price.

You ever, Econ 101, Charlie Brown's encyclopedia. Anyone heard of it? These people aren't serious. Signaling matters. Signaling matters. How you talk about things matter. Here's another example. Another radical leftist who seems to be dominating the Biden administration right now from the U.S. Senate. Fake Indian Elizabeth Warren. Here's Elizabeth Warren on a news network the other day, Business News Network, talking about inflation, another

crisis. Now you would think if you wanted to signal like you want to signal the oil markets to bring the price down, you're going to produce more oil and signal to illegal immigrants not to come here by telling them you're going to arrest more oil, and signal to illegal immigrants not to come here by telling them you're going to arrest and prosecute, you would think you'd want to signal in an inflation crisis caused by printing more money that we're going to print less money and control government spending, which would require us to print less money

if we control government spending. Nope. Nope. Not at all. Here's Elizabeth Warren signaling that, no, the inflation is not an issue with the government spending and stuff. It's actually greedy oil companies, greedy meat producers and all that. It's weird how greed just started under the Biden administration, isn't it? Check this out. If I were to read a lot of what you've said and written, I would leap to the conclusion that you think the primary cause of it is corporate greed,

I would leap to the conclusion that you think the primary cause of it is corporate greed, whether it's the oil companies, whether it's software companies, whether it's food processing companies. What causes inflation? So I think the primary cause of this bout of price increases starts with COVID. And the fact that we have supply chain kinks and that people rapidly shifted the demand curve so that demand for services went down and demand for goods went up. So those two have forced prices up. That's part one. But what has also happened is that now that we live in an America where there's a lot more concentration in certain industries,

look at the oil industry, look at meat industry. Look at groceries generally. Doesn't blame at all the actual cause of the problem. Now, when inflation is based on future expectations, people spend money now or they try, they invest money in riskier assets now because they're afraid inflation is going to get worse in the future. And if they don't invest in risky or risky or high yield assets, they're going to continue to lose money. And they buy stuff now because they're afraid the price is going to go up. That wouldn't happen if they believe the federal government and people like Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden were going to be serious signaling they were going to stop government spending and stop demanding the Federal Reserve print a lot of money to give to them to spend when they don't have it. But they're not doing that at all.

They're signaling the exact opposite, which says to me, these idiots we voted for are actually the problems that we're experiencing right now. National security, immigration, energy, inflation are all being made worse by these buffoons opening their mouths constantly. Just stop talking if you can't help. Now, you think oil, you think your local gas station, you think they're a monopoly, they're screwing you over, you think they're price gouging like Geraldo, who your labradoodle knows more about economics than Geraldo. Remember, I don't know if you saw the five yesterday, folks.

He was sitting there screaming about, company monopolies you know and and then you're forced in the unenviable position of having to defend corporations like oil companies I say unenviable because I don't owe anything to oil companies okay if you if you act like buffoons you act like buffoons most of the most of these companies are doing woke nonsense anyway. But I do believe in facts. So here, I pulled up this Wall Street Journal article to show you here how, again, Geraldo just makes stuff up. There is no evidence whatsoever of local gas stations price gouging.

None. There is no evidence of that. The Journal notes that, quote, in this article called Biden's vast oil conspiracy by their editorial board. They say, by the way, the vast majority of the nation's 150,000 gas retailers are mom and pop operations. Fewer than 5% are owned by refiners. Profit margins are only about 10 to 15 cents a gallon. Even when prices shoot up, these small businesses aren't padding

their profits. They're trying to hedge against big losses if oil prices spike. I'll note again. Again, folks, you don't have to like these people, but believing in Geraldo talking points and Elizabeth Warren talking points, I'm sorry, is a very hallmark of ignorance. It's not true. I used to bag groceries for a lady when I was a kid. She owned a gas station down the block from Key Food in Forest Hills, Queens. I asked her, wow, you own a gas station, you wish to make a fortune. She said, I hardly make anything on gas. You know where they made the money? The convenience store. Not on the darn gas. So just to be clear,

Elizabeth Warren, Geraldo, and Joe Biden are blaming the oil companies. Were they blaming the oil companies when just a year and a half ago gas was $2? I'm just asking. What were they? Were they voluntarily losing money back then? No, no. They were responding to market signals. Folks, I'm sorry, but the time for stupid is over.

Signals matter. And the signal these people in charge right now are sending whether it's elizabeth warren joe biden jennifer granholm or others is that we are not serious and i'm worried about it because by saying you're not serious serious problems get more serious in the future the way you talk about things can change the arc of history, especially when you're in a position of power for the better or for the worse. All right. It is St. Paddy's Day. It was a heavy opening segment right here. I debated playing this first because it's so hilarious. This is a viral segment. It's been viral for 15 years. There's a news station in Mobile, Alabama, and 15 years ago in this

called Crichton, I believe the neighborhood is, there were a bunch of residents of the neighborhood who were absolutely convinced, this is a real news report, that they saw a leprechaun in the tree. Now, if you're not watching on Rumble, please watch. There's a sketch of the leprechaun at the end where the resident's like, this is what they look like, the leprechaun at the end where the residents like this is what they look like the leprechaun i want you to check this watch it on rumble rumble.com slash bongino here check this out a little bit of comic relief on saint patty's day well just in time for saint patrick's day crowds are coming by the dozens to get an up-close view at what some say is a piece of irish folk folklore some people in the crichton area of Mobile say a leprechaun is taking up residence

in their neighborhood. A leprechaun. NBC 15's Brian Johnson has more. Curiosity leads to large crowds in Mobile's Crichton community. Many of you bring binoculars, can quarters, even camera phones to take pictures. To me, it look like a leprechaun to me. I got to do a little bit of treat. Who else seen the leprechaun say yeah? Eyewitnesses say the leprechaun only comes out at night. If you shine a light in its direction, it suddenly disappears. This amateur sketch resembles what many of you say the leprechaun looks like. Others find it hard to believe and have come up with their own theories and explanations for the image. Now, Guy saw that because at the last second I do that, right, Joe? I threw it into the show,

right? As I was downstairs. Guy was like, he sends me an arm, meaning he's ready. I sent it to him right before that, so he hadn't seen it. Folks, you see this sketch of the library? You got to watch the Rumble video. It's hilarious. Please check it out on Rumblely. Fast forward to the rest of the show if you want. I don't care. I just need you to see that. But yes, it reminds me of when I was a kid, there was this rumor of this statue called Dancing Mary in a cemetery

that if you stared at it close to midnight, the statue would start dancing. This is mass hysteria. All of us showed up and we're all looking. I'll never forget. I'm not kidding. We were there and we were like, it's dancing. And all someone screamed it.

Everybody's like, I see it too. And then we all started running. Ah, I thought she wasn't dancing. It was ridiculous. It's a leprechaun in a tree. By the way, it's the only green shirt I could find. It's camouflaged, but good salute to my friends at Folds of Honor anyway. So I don't have, I don't wear a lot of green.

I'm not much of a green guy, but I am, I don't know, 25, 30% Irish. Who knows? My mom's, my mother's mother. So there you go. All right. Let me get to my second sponsor. And then I want to, again, I'm getting a lot of questions about article five, NATO. What exactly happens if a NATO country is attacked? Are we obligated by treaty, the United States to get involved in world war three? I'm going to do a quick thing on that. China and the truckers. Something happened with the truckers yesterday that's going to really bake your bagels. Introducing TD Insurance for Business

So what happens if Vladimir Putin launches a missile into a NATO country? NATO as being a party to NATO has a bunch of articles. Article 5 is one of those articles. Article 5 is an attack on one NATO country, means an attack on all, where we'd all be obligated to respond. And we are a party to NATO. So I looked around, and an old friend of mine, Cully Stimson, he wrote this speech March 11th.

I encourage you to read it. It's short, but it's very good. It's in the newsletter today. Bongino.com slash newsletter if you want to sign up. And it very simply states, if Putin attacks a NATO country, what are our legal obligations? He goes through it in a lot of detail. But specifically on Article 5, he addresses this point, this question. Does an attack on a NATO ally require, as a matter of international law the united states to respond with force

the missile gets launched into poland do we have to get militarily involved it's a good question cully's very smart guy he says no we would never agree to that the united states that is obviously as one law a law of war expert recently explained to cully from a policy perspective it's been important to convey the impression that we would respond to an armed attack on a NATO ally with military force. Convey the impression. However, Article 5 permits the United States to respond in a way that satisfies its legal obligations short of sending in the armed forces of the United States to fight, such as providing military equipment or other aid. Folks, we do have a constitution that supersedes, obviously, international law, and that's a great thing that it does. We have a constitutional process for declaring war here, and Article 5

respects that, and it allows us to provide military equipment or other aid rather than directly sending troops. So anybody telling you an invocation of Article 5 means immediately, I'm not saying we should or shouldn't get involved. That's an argument we've already had. I'm just talking about specifically the treaty requirements that we have to send boots on the ground immediately is not telling you the truth. It's a good piece, and it's worth your time.

These are things we really should understand as an informed citizenry, and I know you're as interested as I am. The only reason I put it in there is because of your question. But very good question. That's how Article 5 works. Just a quick note on China before I move on to two systems of justice and the truckers here. Folks, there's a lot of heavy rumor mill going on about China watching, obviously, what's going on and what's in China's mind. Xi Jinping, the Chinese Communist Party right now, given that they're watching the Russian invasion of Ukraine collapse. It has. They've caused a lot of death. They've caused a

lot of destruction, but they haven't successfully taken the country and they haven't even successfully taken the capital, yet Kiev, despite overwhelming numbers. China has to be watching this and saying to themselves, my gosh, would this happen to us if we were to invade Taiwan? Would we be cut out of the world, the new global supply chain, the world economic market? Would we be shut out of it? Would we be pariahs around the world like Vladimir Putin? I only bring that up because that would be a good thing if China were to process all this and say, maybe we shouldn't invade Taiwan, because that most certainly would lead to an even bigger problem than we have now with Ukraine, obviously. And I just want you to notice their language. Officials of the Chinese Communist Party have been very delicate with their language on Ukraine. The European Union's their biggest trading partner.

They can't lose the European Union. They can't. Their economy is far more tied to international markets than Russia. You don't see a lot of made in Russia stuff, right? See a whole lot of made in China stuff. Their language on Ukraine has been very soft. They haven't come out hard against Ukraine at all. It may be a one, the one positive externality generated from this tragedy. The Chinese government re-evaluating an invasion of Taiwan. Fingers crossed it would be a global disaster. So moving on, folks, the truckers, the January 6th detainees, Juicy, Smaug, Antifa, and BLM, what do they all have to do with one another? Absolutely nothing. No, they actually do. And they do have something to do with something

I focused on in this show repeatedly, which is how justice isn't blind in the United States. Justice is only blind to Democrats. Democrats, I don't see nothing. You're a Democrat or a liberal or even a Republican who hates Donald Trump. Justice is totally blind to you. However, you're a conservative Trump supporter, even a Democrat who's a Trump supporter. You are public enemy number one. Even if you're a Democrat who's not a Trump supporter and you support free speech like Glenn Greenwald, who happens to be a liberal, and Matt Taibbi, two journalists, you are public enemy number one and two.

There are two systems of justice in this country. And no constitutional Republican can continue on a prosperous future path where one set of citizens gets a free pass while other ones go to jail here's what i mean this is a listen i get it that people laugh at this story the juicy small yay story daily wire so juicy was just convicted for this fake hate crime i think juicy'd go to jail for that, tying up Chicago's assets, accusing people of MAGA hate crimes and everything like that. Daily Wire, Juicy Smollett ordered release from jail after serving less than a week of a five-month sentence pending appeal.

So Juicy, Juicy gets out after conviction. No problem for Juicy at all. Lie about Trump supporters, tie up Chicago police assets, make up a big story about a noose around your neck being bleached, become a national laughingstock, you get right out of jail. No problem there. But I want you to notice this old op-ed by Senator Rand Paul, February 10th from 2022, about a month ago. All Americans, including those arrested in the January 6th riots, deserve due process. Why are a lot of these January 6th detainees still in jail before a potential conviction?

They've been convicted of no crime. There is scant, if any, evidence at all that they present any danger to the public whatsoever. And yet you have a bunch of people in jail who identify with a movement not favorable to the leftist cancel culture brigade, the power brigade in the media and politics right now, the left. They don't like them and they sit in jail while Juicy, a hero to the left, sits there and walks out. Don't laugh, folks.

You may say different crimes, different places. Really? Because I thought crime in general was supposed to be treated the same way in the legal process. Not the same sentencing, but the same way, which is due process. I thought due process was supposed to apply to both sides. So Juicy gets out. January 6th detainees. No such luck. Here's another example of this.

It's even more glaring and is really going to tick you off right now. So remember when Antifa and BLM were allowed to burn down Washington, D.C.? Not only allowed, they were celebrated for doing it. They burned down D.C., burned down a church, and the area in front of the church was actually painted in memoriam to BLM. Remember Black Lives Matter Plaza? No, I'm not kidding.

That actually happened. Burn the street down, have the street renamed after you. Now, if that happened with, let's say, the Club 45 Trump group went up to Washington, D.C. and burned down a church, you think they'd have Club 45 Plaza? No, they'd be in jail with the January 6th detainees sitting in pretrial detention, likely for the rest of their lives, in a political gulag, right? Now, maybe if their friends were juicy, they'd get off. I don't know.

But it's weird how they weren't only allowed into D.C. They were welcomed into D.C., Antifa and BLM terrorists to burn the city down and celebrated for doing it. Yet a bunch of peaceful truckers circling the D.C. Beltway, which literally circles Washington, D.C., have driven on it many times, were prevented from exiting the highway of peaceful truckers circling the DC Beltway, which literally circles Washington DC, I've driven on it many times, were prevented from exiting the highway, completely, totally unethical, immoral, and potentially unconstitutional, were prevented from their peaceful right to assembly and even entering Washington DC by the tyrannical DC overlords who are nothing

but totalitarian hacks. Hat tip to the truckers for keeping this up. But here's video coverage of this yesterday. And a police officer trying to explain away what he has to know in his head sounds completely, totally ridiculous. You're not allowed to exit the highway? Please explain to me where that one is in the Constitution. Check this out.

I keep hearing you. I know what legal grounds. The highway is closed. We've closed the highway highways based on what we do it all the time we do it all the time for different for different demonstrations that go on in the city we absolutely do it all the time so you just said it's you blocking the highway not the trucks is that correct so yeah we have a portion of the highway blocked. Hey, Mom! The meatloaf! We haven't played that in like a year.

It's been a while. What is she doing back there? This goes to the police chief. What are they doing back there? What? Now, believe me, Joe and I, sadly, are all too familiar with the D too familiar with the dc beltway yes sir we've been on it many times uh you're not allowed to exit the beltway if you're a truck based on what based on what tell me again now there are two systems of justice listen i'm warning the left now putting on my serious hat for a moment. This is a warning, and I strongly encourage you to take it to heart.

You are creating a bifurcated society of haves and have-nots, those who have access to due process in the Constitution and those who don't. When you do that, you create a schism. That schism creates friction. That friction creates anger. Anger creates division. Ladies and gentlemen, there is nothing I want less than to see this division continue.

We cannot possibly continue as a constitutional republic with two sets of rules. You are going to see further and further calls for people to separate, to move away from these blue states, to get away from these people. And the country is going to descend into a cycle of division. It is not going to be able to escape from. I've warned you. I've warned you repeatedly and you keep doing it. Why do they do it? Remember this video we played a few days ago, James Lindsay, who was on, was this from Tim pool? Geet, do you remember? It's from Tim,

Tim cast, Tim pools. It's a great show. He has a lot of good guests. He had James Lindsay on his bed on my Fox show. Guys, a guy knows what he's talking about. He talks about how this is by design.

This is how the left wants it. They don't care about two systems of justice because to them, there's one system of justice. They're the morally correct ones. You all are bad people. You Trump supporters are evil. You should shut your mouth and be repressed. I want you to listen to this again, because it'll explain how this is only going to continue to get worse until these people, until these people are pushed out of power, these leftist nuts. Check this out. This is repressive tolerance. Herbert Marcuse, a leading leftist or Marxist thinker of the 1960s, writes an essay in 1965 called Repressive Tolerance.

The argument, and I kid you not, I don't exaggerate at all. The thesis statement of the argument is literally, movements from the left must be tolerated even when they're violent, movements from the right must not be extended tolerance at all. And so this is why you see that disparity. We live in Marcuse's world. We live in the neo-Marxist architecture that this guy created. He's very influential. He wrote a book in 64 called One-Dimensional Man, sold 300,000 copies in the first year, if I'm not mistaken. This stat might be over its lifetime, but I think it was over the first year. Very influential, widely credited as the most influential leftist thinker. So he laid out an architecture where

the leftist line of thought is when we do it, it's good. It must be tolerated. And anybody who doesn't tolerate us as a fascist, if the right does it, it's bad, period. It must not be tolerated. I wasn't exaggerating. If we pulled up the essay, you could actually find the quote that that is the thesis statement of the essay. Movements from the left must be extended tolerance. Movements from the right must not be extended tolerance. To the point, he says, do you prevent right-wing people from even being able to form the thought? In other words, he says, this is censorship and even pre-censorship, which I'm not even sure what pre-censorship is, so that the thought can't even enter their head. Thought can't even enter your head if you're on the right.

You believe in liberty and freedom. You're not even allowed to exit the beltway. Forget about a right to assemble. You're not even allowed to get out of your car. You just keep driving, you peasant. It's a hierarchy, and they want to put you at the bottom. Folks, we're running out of time. I know elections aren't going to solve everything. I know elections are ugly. I know they've been messy. I know they've been corrupt in many places. I understand that. We're running out of time to fix this, though. These people aren't removed from power immediately. Immediately, in this next election, we are going to be in real trouble. I'm not suggesting it's going to be the solution to everything.

But out of all the options, that's the one right in front of us we can attempt to change right now. Got to give it a shot. Can't forfeit this place. All right, I want to get to the new rules section in a minute. You know, cancel culture. What did I tell you about yesterday? Cancel culture, cannibalistic. It's going to implode on itself.

Eventually the left eats itself with cancel culture because they run out of victims. Proven my point today, as if on cue. I'll get to that in a second. This is an ad for better help. Welcome to the world. Please read your personal owner's manual thoroughly. In it, you'll find simple instructions for how to interact with your fellow human beings and how to find happiness and peace of mind. Thank you and have a nice life.

Visit betterhelp.com to learn more. That's betterhelp.com. So, you know, I always talk about the new rules. You

want to play by Robert's rules of order with the left that believes in a hierarchy and you are below them on the hierarchy. They can do what they want to you. You can't actually seek due process from them. You go right ahead. I'm not interested in that. You want to be Charlie Sykes and Jonah Goldberg from the bulwark or whatever. And you want to sit there and spout off about how we should be cutesy time guys with the

left. You go right ahead. You'll be the last ones under the guillotine. I'll bet you hope I'm not playing that game. The new rules are in effect and the new rules are this. Everyone gets canceled until you realize cancel culture is for idiots. So this New York Times reporter, Matthew Rosenberg, that got caught on tape by Project Veritas saying crazy things. I'm sorry.

He should be fired. I don't care fired i don't care i don't read the new york times whether he's fired or not is of no consequence to me but by cancel culture rules you're not joe last time i checked the rules were clear one screw up in your entire life caught on video email a tweet or it is grounds to be fired those are the rules they're their rules those rules will never change until lefties suffer the consequences so now because the movement is inherently cannibalistic because people on the right give them the double-barreled family-friendly middle finger and they don't cancel each other

anymore they have to cancel each they've had to cancel themselves left so now all of a sudden they don't like that rule anymore here's a piece by politico cancel culture becomes entertaining at the new York Times. So this reporter Rosenberg was caught on tape by Project Veritas talking about how his colleagues are basically a bunch of morons and losers. He wasn't canceled yet. He wasn't fired or anything. So they say, Politico says, how to make sense of it all? Increasingly, the best response is not to try to make sense of it all.

Rosenberg, Dean Baquet, and Project Veritas have given us a reminder. People sometimes say stupid things. It doesn't have to be a big deal. Oh, this is, this is. So Joe and I are adults. We're both dads. He's not a father yet. We'll be one day, but he's a very mature young man here.

That's the rule we used to play by our entire lives, right? You know, forgiveness, people do dumb things. We're all inherently sinners. We do. We sin all the time, you know, move towards the path of redemption. Try not to repeat the sins over again. Right. You know, that was kind of a simple rule.

The left is only figuring that out now, of course, because one of their own, a New York Times reporter, is under the firing line. The guillotine's waiting for him. The firing guillotine that is now all of a sudden. Sometimes people say stupid things. Oh, really? Let me wrap that up by saying I have zero sympathy for Rosenberg or anyone else. I don't care if he's fired or not. I don't read the New York slimes. I only read them to make fun of them as we will do in the next segment, by the way. But if you expect me to shed one tear for Matthew Rosenberg, for the New York Times, or anyone else who's a victim of the cancel culture they love to talk about and celebrate. You can plant a big wet one on my

rump because I couldn't care any less. New rules, baby. You like cancel culture? Cancel yourselves and see how much you like it. All right. Speaking of the New York Times, how we only lose the New York Times in this show for comic relief and evidence of their vast stupidity. Here's the New York Times figuring out on March 16th, 2022, just checking the date. Oh, look, it's March 17th. So this was yesterday, March 17th, 2022. It's weird. We heard about this story in 2019, I believe, or no, 2020, late 2020. We heard about the Hunter Biden story and the laptop at the end of the election season in 2020. We heard about this story and we told you it was Hunter Biden's laptop and there was evidence of tax, potential tax issues, malfeasance, potential corruption. We told you that. And yet the story was called Russian disinformation.

reasons, potential corruption. We told you that. And yet the story was called Russian disinformation. Here's the New York Times hilariously yesterday, recognizing that what we told you a year and a half ago, she goes to show if you read the New York Times three, four years later, you'll get the news. If you listen to this show, you'll get the news same day. New York Times, Hunter Biden paid tax bill, but broad federal investigation continues. Oh, it does. Interesting. It says people familiar with the investigation against Hunter said prosecutors had examined emails between Mr. Biden, Devin Archer, and others about Burisma and other foreign business activity. Those emails were obtained by the New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation.

Gee, they were authenticated. You believe it? Joe, they were authenticated. Finally. May 16, 2022. We told you they were authenticated. No one was denying the authenticity of the emails a year and a half ago. Now, all of a sudden, you're coming around?

Now, why does this matter? Not to just embarrass the New York Times and show you how dopey they are. We're talking about the left strategy. I showed you Lindsay's clip, the video clip there, talking about how the left strategy of hierarchy, what they do is always to be forgiven. What you do is never to be forgiven. They have another strategy. It's not just hierarchy making you bad people and them good people attacking the bad people.

They have a drip, drip, drip strategy we've discussed often on this show. The drip, drip, drip strategy is this. The left knows when they're deeply embedded into a scandal and they know they're not going to be able to hide it forever. So what they do is they use tools in the media like this buffoon who used to be at Politico, Natasha Bertrand, discredited, debunked, hack, pee-pee tape hoaxer, the queen of pee-pee hoaxers, a woman with the credibility of a Times Square three-card Monty fraudster. Natasha Bertrand, October 19, 2020, just like I told you. Hunter Biden's story is Russian disinformation, dozens of former intel officials say. Here is a media hack with zero credibility, integrity, or dignity, laundering a false story from a bunch of fake losers,

pretending to be intelligence officials while acting like politicians, claiming a story we knew was true in October is fake. Of course, the story got a lot of run. The media parroted it was Russian disinformation. The story was true the whole time. It's the drip, drip, drip strategy. And it works like this. They tried it with Benghazi. They did it with the IRS story. They're going to do it with this story. They're going to do it with Spygate. Here's the way it goes down. They know they have a problem. Let's use like Benghazi, for example. They blame it on a video. Nothing to do with Benghazi at all.

The video story goes viral in the media. It gives the talking head something to talk about while they digest how to sandal the scandal, the four dead bodies from Benghazi. They drag it out as long as they can. They wait about a year or so. They finally start to drip out emails about what actually happened in Benghazi and elsewhere. And then afterwards,

you'll hear liberal media people talking about it today because I mentioned it on my show. They'll be like, my gosh, Dan Bongino is bringing up Benghazi again. Man, it's time to move on. Really, it's time to move on? We still don't know what happened over there. We still don't know what Obama was doing the night of.

That's kind of weird, isn't it? We still have had no accountability for all the lies told the American people. People came home in freaking body bags. Now watch. They'll drip out the fact that the Hunter Biden story was authentic the whole time. And when conservatives bring it up, they'll say, look, we covered it a year and a half later. Drip, drip, drip, and nobody cares. I care.

That's why I don't let Benghazi go. That's why I don't let Spygate go. That's why I let none of this go. This is what they want you to do. They want you to let it go as they drag out the lies. And then one day, someone like the New York Times, because they're forced to, it's not because they're doing the right thing,

it's because they're forced to. Because they know court documents will come out and they're going to look like idiots for saying it was Russian disinformation. They wait as long as they can and they finally report on it. Which says to me, something's going to break with the Hunter laptop case. That's why the New York Times is getting ahead of it. These people are nothing but liars. liars and frauds. All right. You know what? Let's get to this video next. Did you see this? This is a little bit of comic relief, but serious stuff too. Sky News overseas. Sky News had this editorialist on and just laced into Kamala Harris like I haven't seen in a long time, especially here where a lot of our domestic media are afraid to do that. I want you to watch and cherish every second.

It goes on longer than this. I had to cut it for a minute for the sake of the show and brevity. But listen to this. This is a dressing down like I haven't seen in a long time. Check this out. To the cackling nincompoop who is a heartbeat away from the presidency, the comprehensively incapable Kamala Harris.

Her wretched performance this week has cemented her place as the worst vice president in US history. And my word, they've had a few doozies, including one who shot founding father, Alexander Hamilton, dead. Yeah, you shot him dead. And another one who couldn't father Alexander Hamilton dead. Yeah, you shot him dead. And another one who couldn't even smell potato. But you know what?

Dan Quayle is a genius when compared to Kamala. After a cringeworthy performance in recent weeks, she had the opportunity to redeem herself during a vitally important trip to Poland and Romania as Russia's invasion of Ukraine plunges the region into a deepening crisis. The White House said her visit will demonstrate the strength and unity of the NATO alliance. What it actually did was demonstrate the utter ineptitude

of the Vice President. sorry folks needed to kind of bring the temperature down a little bit that's one of those holy crikey's moment holy crikey's yeah yeah that is a dressing down like you what did you call a radically incompetent nincompoop well said that's how we're viewed overseas kind of goes back to the beginning of the show though on a serious note how when you signal stupid stupid things happen right kind of see how we weave all that together mama look at me i'm going really fast i just got my license can i borrow the car please mom kids go from 0 to 18 in no time you'll be relieved they have 24-7 roadside assistance with Intact Insurance. Mom, can we go to Nana's house tomorrow?

I want to go to Jack's place today. I'll just take the car. Don't wait up, okay? Kids go from 0 to 18 in no time, don't they? At Intact Insurance, we insure your car so you can enjoy the ride. Visit Intact.ca or talk to your broker. Conditions apply. Here's what I mean, folks. Get ready. Joe's already tagged it, marking the date and the time. You are going to see the next panic breakout. We saw it with Delta. We saw it with Omicron. There is a new Omicron sub-variant out there, BA2, which is racing across Europe. It will

eventually make its way over here. We will have, as we always do, we will have another wave. It'll happen in Florida in the summer when things get hot and people go inside and respiratory diseases transport around in the air, better in indoor air when there's not outdoor air circulation. And the media, again, will pretend

that they're unaware of why this is happening. They'll blame it on Ron DeSantis. They'll blame it on Ron DeSantis' dog. They'll use this as an excuse also to do the same crap we've already done, which has not worked. Lockdowns and masks, they have failed. They've succeeded at one thing,

destroying our economy and destroying our kids' ability to learn. Outside of that, they've done nothing. Here you go, Washington Post already prepping the battlefield. A COVID surge in Western Europe has U.S. bracing for another wave. They said it's picking up steam across at least 12 countries from Finland to Greece, said Eric Topol. He said, there's no question there's a significant wave there. But notice the top part of this. I've read in reverse for a reason.

They said another surge may also test the public's appetite. You notice how they're, here they go. They're softening you up. May test the public's appetite for returning to widespread mask wearing mandates and other measures that many have eagerly abandoned. Notice how they say that like it's wrong. As the latest surge fades in spring approaches, experts say.

Here we go, folks. Mark my words. We will go right back to the same mass crap, lockdown crap that has done absolutely nothing but destroy our civilization. Watch. You heard it here first. Omicron BA2. You'll start seeing the headlines on Drudge any day now, which is another reminder.

Shameless plug. I'm sorry, but get away from drudge. Bon Gino report.com. We appreciate it. It is. It is a sane drug, a non drudge aggregator where you can read sane news and not crazy stuff.

Drudge is like off the rails completely. Okay. We're good on time. All right, next story, Free Beacon. Washington Free Beacon is an important update here. Folks, this worries me. You know, as someone who's involved in business pretty deeply myself, you find yourself involved in the legal process a lot.

There's contract disputes, there's other things going on. You'll see it. If you're in business at some point, you're going to find yourself in a regulatory or legal question. It happens all the time. What worries me is I've said before, and I'll say again, that liberals have really hijacked the justice system. They've hijacked the court system, and they've hijacked the court system, which is not giving conservatives access. You get the justice is blind narrative. I put this in the show for a reason. Justice is constantly blind to conservatives, and that's because it's very hard to get unbiased judges anymore. It can happen,

but it's very hard. Here's a Washington Free Beacon article, and you'll see why this is happening, why this leftist takeover of the court system. So Yale Law, you would think, would be some of the biggest geniuses in the country. These are people who will eventually make it onto the circuit courts, district courts, appellate courts, and the Supreme Court, right? Well, Yale Law, this story is hilarious. They had a free speech event.

They invited people from the right and people from the left to speak at a free speech event. It was not a partisan event at all. It wasn't meant to be. So 100 or so students, Yale Law students, thought it would be a good idea to come in a laugh to speak at a free speech event. It was not a partisan event at all. It wasn't meant to be. So 100 or so students, Yale law students, thought it would be a good idea to come in and start screaming and cursing like raving lunatic maniacs,

disrupting a bipartisan free speech event. Read the story in the Free Beacon if you want all the details about how awful these little turds were, screaming and yelling like violent maniacs. These are the same people who are going to be sitting there in black robes on a bench, potentially judging you one day in a legal dispute.

You think you're going to get a fair case? Going to look you up on social media, find out you were a Trump supporter? Yale Law School, supposedly the best of the best. Actually, the worst of the worst. All right. On a lighter note. So I've been getting a lot of questions about this too. Apparently Joe Rogan or someone, some podcast, I think it was Rogan. He has the most popular podcast in the country. Someone brought up this story about Isaac Newton. Joe, did you see this?

Predicting the end of the world in 2060? Yeah. Yeah. So a lot of people, this is now, this is a story from 2018. If you want to read it, you can read it in the newsletter. It's from the New York Post by Larry Gatlin. It said, Isaac Newton predicted the world will end in 2060. I'll get to in a second where this kind of math comes from,

but there are a lot of people taking this very seriously. Now, I want to note that even if Newton was right, and he's referring to some biblical prophecies, that 2060 would, quote, according to the story, be a new beginning, maybe accompanied by war and catastrophe, but ultimately the start of a new divine era. I bring this up because I was quite depressed after reading this piece until I read that. All right, 2060, if it is the end,

maybe it's the start of something better on the end. Maybe it's the end of the world as we know it. I don't know, but here's where the story comes from. Newton, obviously famous, great scientific thinker, one of the legends of science, right? Here's where it comes from. So apparently some of the prophecies in the Bible and other readings out there, prophecies, said that the world was going to end as we know

it, 1,260 years after the founding of the Holy Roman Empire, which if you place that as many do, according to the reading I did of this, around the year 800 that would mean yes obviously 2060 would be the end for us but hey who knows they say it's start of a new divine era but on a serious note i know there's a lot going on uh and i know you're all deeply concerned about what's happening in ukraine spiraling out of control into potential global you know nuclear war and things like that and you're not crazy to think these things, especially with, as I discussed yesterday, Russian MPs making bizarre, insane, crazy threats about nuclear war or an MP specifically. But be prepared.

That's the best you can do. And like C.S. Lewis said in that piece, folks, you can't live your life. We're all going to die. And it's best we don't know the expiration date. And as someone who went through a potentially life-threatening disease before I knew what stage I was at just recently, I can tell you, once you accept the fact that you're in a little bit of trouble, you just become a problem solver and you stop worrying about where that trouble is going to lead.

I'll just leave it at that. Don't obsess over the expiration date. Live your life. You only got one shot at it anyway. You don't know what's going to happen. And by the way, just because it was from Isaac Newton or a prophecy doesn't mean it's right, but I did get a lot of questions about it. All right. Last story of the day, Randy Weingart, what we do without teachers and teachers unions. A great story in Fox News. Teachers union president Randy Weingarten. These are the teachers unions. These are the people who are destroying your kids education, waiting for Omicron B2, BA2 to come around. Randy Weingarten, mark my words. You already marked the date, so no need to mark it again. Randy Weingarten will call for more masks, which do not work.

She'll call for more lockdowns, which not only do not work, but it'll destroy your kid's education. This person, there is not a single person in America who's done more to destroy, destroy your kid's future prosperity than this person, Randy Weingarten. She is a genuinely awful human being. She's also very dumb. Here is Randy Weingarten puts out a tweet in standing with ukraine uh she says i stand with ukraine well what's the problem with the tweet well the tweet the flag is upside down now okay that happens once in a while you think all right mistake i mean joe and i lived in maryland where everybody puts the flag upside down the maryland flag if you want a little cheat sheet uh yellow and black up and back and then you won't put it upside down matter of fact if you want a little cheat sheet, yellow and black, up and back. And then you won't put it upside down.

Matter of fact, if you watch that movie, what is it, Seabiscuit, the Maryland flag is upside down the whole movie. So it happens. Okay, Randy, we'll give you a pass. But then she tried to apologize and put out a thing called, we stand with Ukraine hashtag.

And then she spelled Ukraine wrong. She spelled U-cry-on-y. I stand, we stand with U-cry-on-y. I stand, we stand with U-cry-on-y, which she then had to delete again later. There's Randy Weingarten. This is the person telling you, you need to put a mask on your kid. Yeah, I know. Come on, dude. That's it. Really, you got to get with the program on that one. That is seriously a butler right there. This is the person telling you, lockdowns work, mask up your kids. You're all idiots. I know better stand with you cry. Amy, and she puts the flag upside down in a photo and

they had a digitally alter another flag with a bunch of them standing around with the flag upside down. Now I'll give them a pass on the flag thing, not stand with you cry on it. I'm sorry. You cry on. He's not a place. It's not you cry on it. It's not the Ucrayani. Some people call it the U.K. It's not the Ukraine. It's not a region. It's a country. It's not the Spade or the Portugal. It's Ukraine.

Ukraine, not Ucrayani. All right. Thanks again for tuning in. Hey, I'm sorry.
