Episode Date: March 8, 2021

In this episode, I discuss the bombshell new report which destroys many of the Biden administration’s false claims about “systematic racism.” I also address the stunning new story proving once and for all that politicians are using the COVID crisis to advance a political agenda.  News Picks: Is hyperinflation right around the corner? This story about a major hack is deeply disturbing. It’s time to start talking about America’s coming bankruptcy.  The SEC follows the Chinese communist party model.  The Wall Street Journal article on policing discussed on the show today.

get ready to hear the truth about america on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host dan bongino so folks we are gonna spend the first 30 to 45 maybe the entire hour of the show today covering the megan markle harry uh harry harry House of Windsor interview. Just kidding. Don't give a damn about that interview. Give exactly zero hits if you put an S in front of it about what those two have to say. We are going to be spending exactly zero time

on that interview today. I'm just saying, you want to listen to the Harry, House of Windsor, Meghan Markle, Oprah Winfrey interview with a, ah, it's so terrible. I can't get a,

life is a royal. Oh my God. Not here. We're not there. Joe, how many spots do you have for that today? Just checking.

How many? How many interview clips? No, I don't have any. You have zero. Yeah, none. He's not hiding any. He is not hiding any. We will not be discussing this today.

You may say, so why'd you waste the opening of your show saying you're not discussing it? People who don't want to make statements don't make statements about not making statements to quote the commander of the base in the awful G.I. Jane movie with Demi Moore because I can't believe how many people give a damn about what these two have to say. Who cares? Today's show brought to you by ExpressVPN.

Having that means I don't have that because we are not talking about that because I don't care. But I do have serious stuff today,

including a super cut. I saw in Jerry Dunleavy from Washington Examiner's social media feed of an interview with Andrew Cuomo that happened a while ago that matters. And listen, we all know what's going on with Cuomo I haven't spent a lot of time about it because I don't like to talk about stuff you can read on the news I like you to come here and get stuff that's unique to the show but this interview matters it's a super cut of it because it shows you again why sycophantic acolytes and butt kissing media people

who don't hold politicians accountable allow things like people being put in a nursing homes with covid to lead to the deaths of others because politicians dared not ask hard questions all right just today's a loaded show even for a monday all right today's show as i said brought to you by express vpn all you need to do is surf the internet to surf the internet privately is to turn on incognito mode in your browser, right?

All right, Joe, let's go. Whoa, he's excited. I'm feeling good. I took that liquid IV. They are a sponsor, not of today's show, but I took that liquid IV sleep stuff last night. Out, out, like 12 hours. My wife had to take a mirror.

I put it under my nose to make sure I was still alive out. So woke up this morning full of energy because I slept like a baby last night. Feels good sometimes to wake up and get a really, really good night's sleep. All right. So again, we will not be talking about Meghan and Harry because we just don't care. I'm sorry. Give zero whatevers about that. Moving on to some substantive stuff.

This is a really devastating supercut video of a Good Morning America show with millions of viewers. This is them doing an interview of Andrew Cuomo a couple months ago. And I'm not playing this interview to pile on, although he deserves it, Andrew Cuomo. Andrew Cuomo is in a lot of trouble politically and he does deserve it.

He is a complete buffoon, a total zero, who has failed the citizens of New York State repeatedly. But I'm doing it for different reasons to show you the genuine real life dangers. I mean, dangers to your life of a failed sycophantic media full of bootlicking acolytes who fail to ever ask serious questions of Democrat politicians when they're in office,

which leads them to believe what Joe, that they can do anything they want. Right. Because Trump, remember with Trump, the media would add like, there's a lie. Trump says he drinks Diet Coke. He doesn't drink Diet Coke. He drinks real Coke.

Like everything was a scandal with Trump. He watches Fox News in his bathhouse. Remember the ice cream scandal with Trump? I'm not kidding. Put it in the search engine. I'm not making this up. D.K., you remember this one? Joe, remember this one? Trump got two scoops of ice cream and everybody else got one. That was an actual story. But that's how the media covered Trump. When it comes to Democrats, you get nothing of the sort. Watch this supercut of this Good Morning America

sycophantic bootlicking interview. And now you'll see why Andrew Cuomo felt like he could do whatever he wanted. Check this out. Can you describe the past 100 days? Hell, can I say that? Yeah, you can. I think that's there. What still keeps you up at night? You've been commended for your clear and your calm leadership. People from all over the country and the world have tuned into your press conferences, your statewide approval rating, a career high, 84%. You came in second only to President Obama as the most trusted Democratic leader in America. How do you intend on spending that political capital that you've earned? If you had to give President Trump a grade on how he's handled this pandemic,

what would you give him? What grade would you give yourself? You've said that you have no political aspirations beyond the job you're in right now. Right. A lot of people are asking why. Why not think about something grander, bigger, presidential? Would you accept a cabinet position in the Biden administration? No. That was a quick no. Nope. Why not? I know that you've been portrayed as some sort of a homecoming king of this crisis. And a headline from Jezebel Help, I think I'm in love with Andrew Cuomo. The New York Post dubbed you the new love gov. Chelsea Handler wrote you a love letter essay in vogue entitled Dear Andrew Cuomo,

I want to be your first lady. Your reaction to all that, your daughter's reaction to all of that, when are you going to hug your mom again it's a very powerful interview and he is no holds barred he says exactly what he's thinking as you know that's his style well you can see that and you ask the tough questions i tell you that much as well joe the tough question yes they asked the tough question you're kind of like a a homecoming king aren't you do you want a scepter and a crown remember the dude who sent us this like years ago fancy geek and pull these sound effect i just choose the uh the low budget kind yeah uh what else we have another oh that's the screamer yeah yeah that kind of applies to here here's another one on the sound effect on the cheap uh two dollar sound effect machine

folks this is what happens yeah when you have media people like ask the guy if he's the homecoming i don't remember trump getting that are you the homecoming queen uh king queen i don't remember any of that stuff i mean everybody's like you know i don't know what pronouns i use or whatever so it's what happens the nursing home story let's be crystal clear, as I said on Outnumbered when I was on Fox a couple weeks ago, was not breaking news a few weeks ago. It was breaking news a few months ago when people like me,

remember that segment on the show, Joe? Remember that? We put the little memo up on the screen, Cuomo telling nursing homes, hey, you got to take these COVID-infected patients. Remember us saying, Joe, that doesn't sound like a good idea, Joe. Sick people, COVID, older folks susceptible sound like a good idea, Joe. Sick people,

COVID, older folks susceptible to COVID, dying and all that stuff. Sounds like a really bad idea. We only covered that, what, six months ago, maybe more. It wasn't breaking news because of reporters like this on GMA. I heard you're the homecoming king. Maybe start doing some journalism in once and we get a more fair and equitable country where politicians are held to account and don't feel like they can act corruptly like lord acton warren because nobody's ever questioning them if you're a democrat that is pathetic all right enough of that he's trying to get like a hold around like the lasso like all right enough because he knows i can get into stories and like drone on all day but we got a lot of material moving on this is from

the file drawer in the show today the that won't happen here segment so we did a show last week was it friday show it did very well for a friday so thank you for listening and watching on rumble but we did a show sharing headlines from communist china real headlines not a joke it wasn't meant to be a satire segment real headlines out of communist china and then compared them with real headlines out of the united states and we asked on i asked at least i thought the title was clever i and the title i got some couple complaints about the title because they didn't understand it but i titled the show you know communists or liberals like what a question who was it with the headlines maybe people were confused yeah i gotta be a little more clear in

my head yeah yeah yeah headline not so much people were a little confused about but the show we did really well because people watched it and they were like yeah you know what that's really weird like i see these headlines out of communist china and then these headlines out of the united states and they sound like the exact same thing. So this is going to be from the, well, don't worry, that won't happen here file. Okay. Like I'm not so worried about all that stuff that happens overseas. Hyperinflation, the Weimar Republic, Venezuela, because that won't happen here.

And yet not only will it, it is happening here. And again, it's kind of a chapter two to the other segment. Are these headlines from communists or from liberals? Here we go. Story number one from Bloomberg. Again, no bastion of right-wing conspiracy theories. This is Bloomberg, a left-wing outlet at best. Hyperinflation pushes Venezuela to print one million Bolivar bills. Bolivar of course is their national currency what is the Bolivar worth? well I did a little math on that it's in the article

the 1 million Bolivar note is worth Joe what a million US dollars? gosh that's some note you don't want to lose that $1,000? what is it worth? what is the 1 million Venezuelan Bolivar bill?

What is that actually worth? $100? $50? Down, down, down. $10? Down, down. A dollar? No, no, not even worth it.

It's worth 53 cents, not $53. 53. Yeah, because that's what happens when you run up your national debt in a country like Venezuela and to pay for that national debt because you don't have any money, what do you do? You just print the whole bunch of bolivars, dollars, renminbis, yen, whatever they may be. You just print them.

And then when you print them, you have more money chasing fewer products because you're just printing money, printing it like what we call counterfeiting in the private sector, free market economy, right? You're printing it like what we call counterfeiting in the private sector, free market economy, right? You're printing it so more bills are chasing the same amount of products because you're not actually building more stuff. So what happens? Those products go up in price. Not hard to figure out.

So you get inflation so bad that the million bolivar note is worth precisely 53 cents. Don't worry. The file draw for today, folks, was called, that won't happen here. We sure about that? By the way, these stories will be in the show notes. You can read them yourself. Our newsletter is the show notes, bongino.com slash newsletters, where you subscribe. Here's a town hall story by Neil Patel. Op-ed piece. Time to start talking about America's coming bankruptcy.

That's not going to happen. Bolivars, Venezuela, mass inflation, million Bolivar notes worth 53 U.S. cents. That's definitely not going to happen here. Really? Because we're doing the exact same thing. From Patel's town hall piece. When the Simpson-Bowles Commission was formed to tackle our national debt under the Obama administration, which is laughable now, America was about $13 trillion in debt.

Today we owe more than double that, more than $26 trillion. Those numbers are so big, nobody even understands them. To put it in perspective, our entire economic output in 2020 was $21 trillion. If America magically didn't spend another dime, all right, folks, we didn't spend that, which is ridiculous, but just for a second, we didn't spend another dime. Nobody bought anything, including food or other staples. And we put it all, every bit of our income,

towards paying off our federal debt for an entire year, right? We still wouldn't pay it off. I added some stuff to that. In more personal terms, our federal debt now amounts, we're back to the quote, now amounts to more than $81,000 for every single person in the country, or over $227,000 for the average household in America. That's how much we owe. Think about that. Please process that for a moment.

If you believe money is worth something and has value, which I assume you do because you work to gain it, you actually go to work and bust your butt to get money. If you believe that money has value, then why do you believe that the government can just print it? Why can't you just print it? No, because I didn't earn it. And in order to earn value, you have to provide value. Joe, is any of this hard? Like I value money.

So people value my work. I trade my work for money I value. If I didn't value work, I wouldn't work for it. If people didn't value my work, they wouldn't pay me for it. So how is it that the government just gets to randomly print money with no value behind it? MMT people, these modern monetary theorists, who just think you can print money till the cows come home, will tell you, oh, don't worry about that at all.

We'll figure it out. No, no, worry right now. We are printing itself into a Venezuela-type crisis that is going to upend our entire economy, no doubt. Let me move on to part two of the, that won't happen here, although it is happening here. We are printing ourselves into a hyperinflation crisis. How long before we have a million

dollar note, which will be worth the equivalent today of 53 US cents when we keep going down this road. How about what happened here? It is happening here right now. We will never pay off our debt. $227,000

per household? How is that ever going to happen? How are we going to pay that back ever, ever? Think about it. You owe your household $227,000. How are you going to pay that back? The answer is we're going to print our way out of it. We're just going to keep printing money until your money's worthless. And so is the $227,000 per household. That's worthless too, along with your income and your savings. All right. I got another story. A quick break here for a second sponsor showing you that won't happen here. It is happening here. I got a new addition to that file. And maybe this fits back into our other file draw from last week. Communist headline or liberals? Who knows? Joe's favorite sponsor up next,

Rock Auto. Listen, chain stores for auto parts have different price tiers for professional mechanics and do-it-yourselfers. Not rockauto.com. Their prices are the same for everyone and they are reliably low.

Rockauto.com, Joe's favorite, always offers the lowest prices possible rather than changing prices on what the market will bear like airlines do. Not a joke. Joe is a do it yourself. He fixes his own car with parts from rock auto.com because it's for

Joe, I feel like singing it today. All the parts your car will ever need. Rock Auto. All the parts. Rockauto.com. Rockauto.com. Go today. I know the audience gets deeply offended at my atrocious singing voice, but rockauto.com.

You deserve a shot at hearing my... I used to sing in the choir when I was younger at St. Pancras. I don't know if you know that, but my voice is terrible. It did nothing to improve it. Joe's a professional. Maybe we should have him sing it from now on. He is a singing, musical professional.

All right, getting back to our foul draw of, don't worry, that won't happen here, hyperinflation. Here's the next. So I covered this story last week in the communists or liberals headline segment, Fox News, Bradford Bets. What is China's social credit system?

China has this really disturbing social scoring system they use to blacklist people. So whatever, if it's a one to a hundred scale, if you don't do what the communist Chinese like, they take points away. And if you fall below a certain, say, threshold on that social score, you can't get credit. You can't buy a car. You can't buy a house. You can't participate in politics. That seems kind of bad. Like that wouldn't be a good thing. So what is it? Well, forgive me for reading this again, but it's from the Fox News piece because it matters. China's social credit system is a government program implemented nationwide to regulate its citizens' behavior based on a point system. Under this system, citizens are ranked in different areas of civil life,

using data collected from court documents, government or corporate records, and in some cases, citizen observers. What we would call rats here in the United States. Rats. Rodents. They call up the government and go, hey, my neighbor doesn't cut as long. What we would call rats here in the United States. Rats. Rodents. They call up the government and go, hey, my neighbor doesn't cut his lawn. Five points off for you, buddy. You lawn not cutter. You get definitely minus five, maybe minus 10, Joe. You didn't edge it.

That's minus one. I got into edging when I was a man. You got to edge your lawn. Edging's important. You don't edge your lawn in China. That's minus 1.62 points for you because the rats next door ratted on you with the government. Again, that won't happen here.

Social scoring, people ratting on others so that they can't participate in the economy and government like in China. Ha ha! You thought that would... It's already here!

It's already here! Here's a Reuters article. I still have listed here's Yahoo, even though it was Reuters and he's told me three times now, it wasn't Yahoo. It was Reuters, but he put Reuters up there. Here's an actual article by Chris Prentice at Reuters. US market regulator, they're talking about the SEC, deploys a team to target climate and esg misconduct wait what i saw this this week and i emailed it to myself so i wouldn't forget it for the show so china's got a social scoring blacklist the communist party can use to watch you and target you for like not edging your lawn and not paying a traffic ticket that seems kind of weird you're

right over there? Everything going okay? Okay. Gee, this thing's falling apart over there. Did you hear that in the background? Little things bouncing around, whatever? What did you drop? Your water?

You okay? All right, good. Folks, look at what the SEC is doing here. Sounds kind of like the same thing, no, Joe? Like a social scoring system we can use to kind of blacklist people? Here's that Reuters article. The USSEC has formed an enforcement task force to examine misconduct related to environmental, social, and governance issues as the regulator ramps up its focus on climate and other hot

button topics. This is a real story. It's not a joke. The SEC has a 22-person team, Joe. It's like a SWAT team, I think. They will focus on disclosures from public companies related to issues such as climate change investment advisor activities and funds dedicated to environmental social and governance investments the agency said on thursday

consensus from the production crew how can you please guys is this is this any different is this any different? Is this any different than what the Chinese government is doing with their social security? Is it any different? He said, giving me the finger, no. Not the middle.

I can't do that. The middle, we do the middle. Joe, does that sound any different to you? It's a ratocracy. It's a ratocracy. Rats everywhere. Rotons all over there.

Everybody's ratting each other out. So if you're a company now, a ratocracy, I like that. It's not an oligarchy or an aristocracy it's a rat a ratocracy a ratocracy where we can unemphasize the rat part to make it sound like a more formal word ratocracy ratocracy right really what we mean is ratocracy like joe just said write that down ratocracy we may incorporate that to the word show right now i like that right thanks sir, sir. Rhetocracy. Yeah, we are. We're moving slowly towards a rhetocracy. I'm just I'm asking for my listeners out there because everyone who's listening and my liberal friends who watch the show.

I actually don't have any liberal friends, but I say that to make myself sound like I have liberal friends. To liberals who listen to the show who are not my friend and pretend to be. Serious question. How is what we're doing in the United States any different from the communist Chinese? And you may not care because you admire the communist Chinese. You may say, yeah, Dan, you're right. We are doing what the communist Chinese do, and it's a really great idea. Okay, well, at least you're honest and you admit it. But to the freedom-loving people out there who actually care about avoiding

and emulating communist behavior in the United States, stuff like this should really worry you. The SEC is now enforcing their own environmental score, scoring, social scoring system against those companies. All right. Closing that file drawer. Because the question is, hey, will that happen here? Answer is it already is.

Sad. In the retocracy we currently live in all right i've got a video for you which is disturbing and it gives me no joy in in uh in playing for you or covering in the way i need to cover it but folks i'm not going to be quiet about this I've been asked by some to kind of stay silent about this, kind of hinted. I'm not going to. We are in real trouble with the president of the United States. Joe Biden is, I'm going to try to be somewhat diplomatic here because I don't want liberals to ignore this because this is not a partisan issue. It'll be made one, but it's not. Joe Biden is diminishing, let's say, at a exponentially growing rate. There's a reason he won't do a press conference. There's a reason

you barely see him out in public. There's a reason he's on camera, if at all, when he comes on camera less than five or 10 minutes at a time. His cognitive condition is worsening, and it begs the question right now. And I've warned you about this. Who is really in charge at the White House? This is a man who not figuratively, but literally has the entire nuclear arsenal of the United States of America at his fingertip. You could have global annihilation based on that one man's decision. And I'm telling you, the man barely knows where he is anymore. Play this video we've been holding since last week.

And again, I've warned you, check it out for yourself. There's more evidence. This guy's totally collapsing. Check this out. Thank you. warned you. Check it out for yourself. There's more evidence. This guy's totally collapsing. Check this out. Thank you. Thank you. And I'm happy to take questions if that's what I'm supposed to do, Nance,

whatever you want me to do. Now, if you're listening to our audio only product on terrestrial radio or Apple podcasts or whatever, you're probably like, well, what happened? Why did you cut off the questions? Because there were no questions. That's the point. If you're watching on Rumble on the video show, you'll get it.

Biden doesn't know if he's supposed to answer questions or not at the end of this because he just doesn't know anything because his processing capabilities are so degenerating by the day the white house actually cuts the feed off that that is the cut that's there's no joe didn't edit it there is no q a he says i'll take some questions if that's what i'm supposed to do and that's it the all you see is a blank screen and whitehouse.gov comes up. That doesn't scare you a little bit? You think that was an accident? Who's running this place? If the president of the United States wants to take questions, let him take questions. Some camera guy's cutting them off. Who's running the White House?

Folks, I'm not going to be quiet about this. The man has the nuclear codes at his fingertips and he doesn't have the cognitive processing capabilities to make normal decisions the President of the United States would have to make on any given day. I think that's a problem. I told you from sources, and they're not the sources you think. Don't read into some of my comments.

I'm getting a little bothered by that. People are writing headlines because they clickbaity about me because of my former line of work. Don't read into it. It's not some of the same. The people you think are getting me are not the same people. I mean, I got to be careful here because it's important. Yeah. They're not the same people.

I mean, I got to be careful here because it's important. Yeah. There are people in the political side worried too. Everybody knows Biden is collapsing. Everyone. Folks, we're, what, two months, Joe, into the man's presidency? What, you think four years from now this guy's going to be able to do this job? He can't do it now.

They won't even let him take questions. You think that's an accident? Gives me no joy in telling you that. None. He's not a good guy. He's never been a good guy. I'm divorcing that from his medical condition now. That's a separate conversation. It's time for some

serious conversations coming up soon, real conversations about the 25th Amendment soon. I'm not kidding. Oh my gosh, that's so controversial. Really? Because it wasn't controversial when you said it about Trump, when it was legitimately stupid. No one questions Trump's cognitive capabilities. You can question his politics, and we should. We should question everyone and not do with the sycophantic GMA interview. Are you the prom king? No, no, we should question leaders. He may not like Trump, but the guy's all there.

I mean, he'd hold hour-long press conferences by himself. Oh, I didn't like the answers. At least he gave answers. They wanted to invoke the 25th Amendment for Trump. With the backing of the cabinet and the vice president, there has to be a serious conversation

about, seriously, I'm not kidding, taking away this guy's power suit. It may be controversial to say, but I'm telling you there are people on the inside who know what I'm telling you is true. You won't see any serious pushback from people who are willing to, I think, go on the record that,

oh no, he's totally there, completely there. And I will say on the road that these conversations haven't happened. I don't think you'll see that. Maybe, we'll see. We'll hold him to that though in two, three years when the situation gets worse. Folks, he's in bad shape. All right, moving on.

You've been warned. That's from the you've been warned file, a file I really don't want to let go and don't like going back to because it sounds very self-praisy and I don't want to do it. It's not about any of that. This is a genuine warning. All right.

So did you hear about this story? Happened over the weekend. They caught it at the Washington Examiner. Apparently, Microsoft is dealing with a pretty big hacking issue here. Jerry Dunleavy, Washington Examiner. The U.S. is taking a, whole of government response to an apparent

China-backed Microsoft hack. Huh. Gee, what could go wrong there? I know what you're thinking, Joe. You're like, didn't we talk about a story with Microsoft last week where they were doing something

with the trying to put a fingerprint? Oh, yeah. I didn't forget that either. Yeah, yeah. That's why I thought of this story because this story, you're like,

wow, the Chinese may be trying to hack or allegedly hacked into Microsoft. Maybe that isn't good because then the Chinese would have a whole bunch of information Microsoft had on us that we didn't want them to have. That would be a problem from the Washington Examiner piece.

You can read it in the show notes again, bongino.com slash newsletter. The Biden administration is undertaking a whole of government response to investigate and respond to the side. Sorry, I do that my newsy voice sometimes to respond to cyber attacks against Microsoft's exchange server, which the big tech company assessed are being carried out by a sophisticated Chinese state backed hacker group. Why is this story fascinating? Well,

it's fascinating for a number of reasons. Number one, liberals are trying to emulate the Chinese in the United States, as I showed you from my communists or liberals headline segment last week and from the segment today. And secondly, because if the Chinese are undergoing a state-sponsored effort, the Washington Examiner's words, not mine, to try to hack Microsoft servers, maybe it would be a good idea to limit what Microsoft knows about us. Why, Joe? Because then if the Chinese were to hack into Microsoft stuff and Microsoft knew everything about us, then wouldn't the Chinese communists know that too? I really wouldn't like that.

I don't know about you. Joe, I actually do know about Joe. I don't know about you. I actually do know about you. Let's go back to last week's article from Breitbart by the great Alam Bakari. Microsoft and friends want to destroy online privacy. Okay, so the Chinese are trying to hack into Microsoft. Microsoft is currently trying to destroy our privacy in the United States now,

just like the communist Chinese. What is Microsoft doing? Well, these media giants and big tech have devised a plan that may constitute big tech's most brazen power grab yet. This is from Breitbart. According to Microsoft's own press release, it is partnered with several other organizations to form. We've discussed this a few times.

Now the Orwellian named coalition for content, provenance and authenticity, the Orwellian named Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity, the C2PA. Put simply, this organization is to devise a system whereby all content on the internet can be traced back to its author. Are we putting the two stories together now? Liberals are, the conservative and libertarian audience of my show they're like yeah yeah i get that the verdict is in that sounds really crappy like microsoft can get hacked or could be hacked by the chinese state government that's looking for information at the same time microsoft is working with the c2pa to make sure they know the provenance or origin of every single

document on the internet and can trace it back to you. That doesn't sound good. Let me walk you through a scenario. Or remember that movie Air Force One, the 25th Amendment. Remember Air Force One, that movie with Harrison Ford? Didn't they actually have the 25th Amendment thing where Glenn Close was the vice president? They have to sign. Remember that?

You see, I tie this stuff together unintentionally sometimes. But remember in that movie, they're like, what are the airborne scenarios? There are no airborne scenarios. Well, let me walk you through a scenario. So you have a PDF file, right? That PDF file, say you're a Tea Party leader in whatever, Indiana, whatever it may be. And you put together a PDF file on how to fight back in the midterms against cancel culture, steps you want to take, companies you think you should boycott, whether you agree or not,

perfectly legal to do, politicians you think should be targeted for a primary, and you put that out there anonymously. Microsoft, apparently, according to this Breitbart article, and the C2PA want to make sure they know exactly where that PDF came from. Wouldn't that be really bad if that was put into a file that the Chinese government could hack into to develop a portfolio of all the people politically they should target in the United States, whatever, for harassment campaigns, doxing, or whatever it may be. That sounds like that would

be a really bad idea. But of course, because nobody thinks outside the box in big tech in the United States, and nobody in big tech, they always think they're on the right side of this, right? And Andrew Klavan said, do I still have that? I didn't put it in the show today, but Andrew Klavan, let me see if I, because this is just great. Andrew Klavan said, do I still have that? I didn't put it in the show today, but Andrew Klavan, let me see if I, because this is just great. Andrew Klavan from the Daily Wire, I really love because he's a super smart guy. Yes, yes. He tweeted this out this weekend.

Remember this, if you're in big tech and you think doing this, like putting fingerprints on every single document and put a picture on the internet, you think you're doing yourself a favor and you think you're on the right side of it. Here, Klavin said this. He said, just remember during moral panics, the Salem witch trials, McCarthyism, the current wokeness, the accusers think they're the heroes,

just like Microsoft and Google and Apple think they are now. Then the panic passes and they're the villains forever. That will happen this time too. You really want to be useful idiots, Microsoft, for the Chinese to hack into your system and develop a target file for every American with any political oomph? You really want to do that?

You will be the villains. No book burner in history has ever come out on the other side of that looking like the good guys. None. All right, let me get to my third. We're moving along, right? What do you think?

What do you think? All right, good. He's trying to get me to, because I always give him so much stuff, Guy, to put in the show, and then I never get to half of it. He's like, you know, you got to get through this stuff.

for this special offer alright back to the show again big tech useful idiots. Don't even see it coming ever. Never do because they're just not that bright. Folks, the Biden administration, back to them, is moving.

I shouldn't even call it the Biden. The Harris administration is moving all in on the discrimination. It's discrimination agenda. They haven't said, hey, we're all about discrimination. No, no, no, they are. They are. They won't call it that. They're calling it now equity, equity.

That's their new buzz term to allow themselves a license to discriminate against Americans. Now, I know liberals who may have found my show for the first time who are listening right now, you know, immune to facts, thick skulls and all. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that happened to you. But maybe you'll get red-pilled listening to this show. I know you probably believe that can't be, Dan. I've been told liberals are all about tolerance. They're all about equality. Well, I'm very sorry you've been lied to. Liberals are the party of discrimination now. And I want to bring up two stories in the Wall Street Journal that are critical. Here's one from last week by Charles Lipson. It's an opinion piece. Equity is the new buzz term, folks.

The title of the piece is Equity is a Mandate to Discriminate. The new buzzword tries to hide the aim of throwing out the American principle of equality under the law. So may I get a little bit philosophical here it's my show I can do what I want I love Friedrich Hayek love Friedrich the road to serfdom is one of the great books ever written if you don't read it you're doing yourself a huge disservice the road to serfdom is a classic

and one of the points made by Hayek in the road to serfdom is he describes how government mandating the equal outcome for all of its citizens mandates that they treat people unequally think about it right what just let's give it a down-to-earth kind of meat and potatoes example of what Hayek was saying. This whole untenable, impossible search for equal outcomes is impossible because it requires you to treat people unequally. Here's a dramatic example, but an example nonetheless. You have a guy, right? He works his entire life, finally, busts his butt. Say he makes belts, his entire life.

Finally, busts his butt. Say he makes belts, whatever it may be. He's making these belts and these belts become a huge hit. He winds up starting a clothing company. He'd been poor his whole life, ate bologna and Cheerios for dinner. And finally, in his 50s and 60s,

he hits it big. He gets acquired by a bigger company, gets a buyout for whatever, $20 million. Finally, his whole life living in a, you know, in a van somewhere, in the back of a van, his company hits it big. He is now, Joe, according to these equity people,

he is one of those evil rich people, right? $20 million is a lot of money, despite the fact he was poor his whole life and worked that. So now you got person B, a guy who was rich his whole life. His father's a billionaire, left him a trust fund of 50 to $60 million. The guy is rich, never works a day in his life. Guy's a total loser, gets into drugs, partying, drinking all the time, never works a day in his life. Basically pisses away his entire trust fund, right? He's left with ten dollars to his name all right

in the leftist equity model that hayek is warning us equity dreaded air quotes the guy who worked his whole life to bust his butt should transfer his income it's heavy pieces of it over to the guy who pissed away his entire inheritance because they should have equal outcomes. How is that fair? The answer is it's not. All you can guarantee is equal opportunity to an outcome. Now, in this Wall Street Journal piece I just told you about, there's a warning in this, how the left is now, because they're realizing people are catching on to this. Like, hey, I worked really hard in my school. Why should I not get into college because I'm white or Asian while someone else who may be black or Hispanic or some other ethnic group that's a preferred

ethnic group by this college practicing discrimination gets to score a lot lower than me on the SAT and get in? That doesn't sound fair. So people are catching on to this. So the left has to constantly change the name of what they're doing. The Wall Street Journal piece covers it pretty nicely. Quote, it says, listen, you know, what we're seeing now is different. This isn't, you know, the 1950 social safety net anymore. This is like stealing from people to give to other people. So they go on, quote, it's the claim now that the unfair

treatment of previous generations, or perhaps a disadvantaged childhood, entitles one to special consideration today as an adult or young adult. Most Americans who are generous and pragmatic have been willing to extend some of these benefits at the margins and for limited periods. They don't want to turn these concessions, however, into large, permanent entitlement programs, giving substantially different treatment to different groups, even if those groups have suffered historical wrong. Folks, do you see the point here? This conversation about reparations? Ladies and gentlemen, this is not workable. You are asking people alive today who had nothing to do at all with slavery, which thankfully, obviously, is illegal in the United States.

I thought we understood that. There is no person alive today who has been a slave. You are asking someone who had nothing to do with a historical wrong to pay someone else who was not wronged by the historical wrong today. That's not workable. Because once you start incorporating historical grievances into claim for equity and to claims on the income of others, where does it end, Joe? Joe's from, Joe, you're Scottish, right?

Armacost? A little bit. I've asked this a million times French German Scottish a little bit yeah it's okay

I'm just I've asked Joe that a thousand times you'd think I'd know more but Joe's does Joe get to make a historical claim to ladies and gentlemen it's a serious question

I'm not comparing historical ills either right there are obviously historical ills that have no comparison they just don't the holocaust at least in the united states slavery but if we're going to allow historical ills to

for joe to make a claim on the income and assets of others does joe get to say like hey i don't know you know the scots were subjected to english tyranny back in the era of William Wallace in 1297. I should get, you're like, oh, that sounds crazy. Of course it does, because Joe was not alive then. It had nothing to do with it. And neither did anyone today who's from the United Kingdom. It will never end. This is just an excuse to discriminate against people.

Literally. You are discriminating against people who have done no wrong. The people they don't even know by taking the assets and the stuff they've worked for away from their families to give it to other families when you don't even understand who did right or wrong or who get, you know, the other family could be rich themselves. This is insane. Now they are using this canard, this equity canard. This is their new red herring. They're using it to destroy public safety. Another article, this is a good one.

And I have this against my better judgment. I put it in the show notes again, but you know, that com slash newsletter because the Wall Street Journal, a lot of the articles are subscription subscription only. Excuse me. But this is worth your time. If you have a subscription, read it. If not, maybe the link is free today. I'm not sure. But the article is important. You see how this whole equity, everybody's a racist argument works for them. Wall Street Journal opinion. Biden's claiming, quote, systemic racism in policing,

which defies the science. There's a new report out, folks, that shows, huh? Am I reading this right? No racial disparities in crimes committed versus arrests made. Jeffrey Anderson, Wall Street Journal. That sounds weird

because we've been told, Joe, did we not, that if you happen to be black or Hispanic, you are definitely targeted by the police and arrested at a disproportionate rate to committing crime. So the DOJ did this study, the Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics. And here's the kicker. Here's the kicker. They didn't even ask the police about the crimes.

They asked victims. Why? Because then, of course, the liberal race hustlers will say, no, no, no. The police are just framing people. No, no. They asked victims. Did you have a crime committed to you? And they said, yes, I did.

Yes, I did. And here from the Wall Street Journal piece, how they're going to crack down on the police now using this fake narrative that they're targeting black and Hispanic people. That's just not true. In a report released days before Biden's inauguration, the DOJ examined whether people of different races were arrested to a degree that was disproportionate to their involvement in crime. Stunning, stunning conclusion, Joe. Of course, I'm being sarcastic because everybody who actually was a police officer or knows a police officer knows this is true.

The report concluded there was no statistically significant difference by race between how likely people were to commit serious violent crimes and how likely they were to be arrested. In other words, the data suggested that police officers and deputies focus on the criminal's actions, not their race. Stunning data, Joe. Almost fell over. In other words when a police officer

when people police officers go out on the street because i actually sat at a roll call as a new york city police officer in the 75 precinct for two years of my life and other precincts before that as a police cadet stunning to no one who's actually involved with law enforcement at all they don't sit at roll call joe and go hey, we have got to find ourselves some Asian, Hispanic or black targets tonight to arrest. That's shocking to the left who believe that's actually true. So let's dig into the data because, you know, the left, Joe, they're all about science, science data. They just lie. We need equity.

Blacks and Hispanics are being targeted by police officers. We need equity. We need reparations for historical ills this is their entire agenda is is it their whole agenda is racist their agenda here's the actual data so this new report took victims responses it's important they didn't ask the police. They asked the actual victims to make sure there's no bias in this. And they compared them with arrest rates by police supplied by the FBI's data. It found that for non-fatal violent crimes that victims said were reported to police, that whites accounted for 48% of offenders and 46% of arrestees. Blacks accounted for 35% of offenders

and 33% of arrestees. Asians accounted for 2% of offenders and 1% of arrestees. None of these differences between the percentage of offenders and the percentage of arrestees of a given race were statistically significant. The data is obviously limited to non-fatal crimes because murder victims can't identify their assailants. Again, this is shocking data for the left that has now figured out for the first time that people aren't targeted by their race, they're targeted by the police, Joe. Get ready. Get ready. Because they were reported as potential perpetrators of a crime. He's hyperventilating. Get a bag, someone put it over Joe's face.

Get that CO2 in there because he may not make it through the segment. This is stunning. Stunning to the people at home who are liberals who are just figuring this out that you claim to believe in science and data to back your equity aka racist discriminatory agenda to treat people differently based on race right you back it up with data that doesn't exist you're just making it up all right um on the other side of this break so last sponsor here i want to get to an important segment about fear porn right now how the left thrives off fear and misinformation and all that other garbage you know i want to get to my i got a hero of the day today too this guy nick gerace from the old Philadelphia

police officer. I'm going to get to him too. We got to fit this stuff in. All right, move along. Today's show brought to you by my friends at Omaha Steaks. Why are they so darn good, Omaha Steaks?

have leveraged this covid crisis. And it's been more about fear porn often than it's been about COVID. Well, how do I know that? Because again, I believe in facts and data and things like that. And if the Democrats really cared about the COVID crisis in the United States, then stories like this at the Epic Times would not exist. Jack Phillips, Epoch Times, 108 illegal immigrants released by the Border Patrol in Texas tested positive for COVID-19. Ladies and gentlemen, I thought this was about the COVID crisis. I thought we were supposed to shut down. So just to be clear, your business is shut down.

Grandma's dying because she can't see anyone and is dying of loneliness, right? You can't open your business. You can't feed your kids. Restaurants and businesses in the service sector are closing down. The economy has suffered a devastating black eye. It's going to take us a decade to recover from. You're not even allowed to go to church in some places. And yet when it comes to illegal aliens entering the country with COVID, nobody does anything. I thought this was a panic about COVID. Not in Texas, apparently, where nobody's allowed to test people coming in from COVID. Well, let me be precise about this from the article because precision does matter. So this local official in Texas told Fox that the city doesn't have the authority to halt migrants who test positive for the virus from traveling anywhere else in the United States.

Wait, what? I thought we were in a COVID crisis. Although officials have advised them to quarantine and follow the federal health guidelines. So you're shut down, but the border isn't makes a world of sense. If you're a liberal.

Again, this is they have entirely leveraged this crisis for fear porn activism they only care and want to make it a crisis when they can shut your business down and let you know who's in charge and mandate mask wearing and everything else but when it comes to admitting people into the country with covid what are we doing we're doing almost nothing about it you know what key we got to move on a little bit can we go to the wired stuff with our friend gilad because like i said i got a big announcement this week huge announcement you know my battle against the big tech tyrants. I started with Parler, joined up,

joined the kind of Wonder Twins, Activate with Rumble. Folks, I am committed to doing and not just talking. And I've started a new company. This company is going to be acquiring and investing in other tech technologies. I kind of teased this announcement last week. So the announcement today,

which will lead to another announcement later in the week, I've got a lot of announcements, is that I've started a new company that, again, is going to be acquiring and investing in multiple parallel technologies. I would ask that you consider them moving forward in your business opportunities. Consider them. I respectfully request you do that.

I asked before that you sign on with Parler. When Parler got rocking and rolling as an alternative to Twitter, I asked that you check out Rumble as an alternative to YouTube. But ladies and gentlemen, that's not enough. We have to start search engines, email systems, payment processing, server farms, everything,

because we got to get away from these left-wing lunatics. I have started a company. I will be announcing some of those investments, hopefully one of them this week, which will give you another opportunity to escape leftist cancel culture. Well, why? Because I'm trying to get away,

and you should be trying to get away, from lunatics like this guy at Wired Magazine, Gilad Edelman, who doesn't know anything about much. That's why he's a journalist and doesn't have a real job. So Wired.com wrote this article, fake news gets more engagement on Facebook. Ironically written by Gilad, who's apparently a fake news specialist, but only if it's right wing. Far right pages that publish

misinformation get the most interactions by far compared to other news sources, new research shows. So this Gilad Edelman, not a particularly bright guy. Don't know him, don't need to, just his writing alone indicates he's kind of a dunce. So Gilad writes this article and, of course, has to target Dan Bongino because Gilad doesn't know me, doesn't realize I actually debunked leftist misinformation, the Spygate, exposed Spygate, the collusion hoax and all that other stuff. But this is why you need to get away from these lunatics. Ladies and gentlemen, they're not real journalists. They're the same people who started the show with the GMA interview

asking people if Andrew Cuomo is the prom king. So he writes, Gilad Edelman, it's not a secret. Notice how he characterizes my truth telling on Facebook because he's a liar. It's not a secret that extreme, less than accurate content. He can't actually find less than accurate content, by the way, because we've nailed them to the wall on a lot of this stuff. Finds a big audience on Facebook. In the months before last year's election, the list of most engaged with pages on the site was almost always dominated by far, far right. I'm far right now. Joe, we're far right now. Did you know that? By far right figures like Dan Bongino. Yeah, we're all far right. I'm far right now. Joe, we're far right now. Did you know that? By far right figures like Dan Bongino.

Yeah, we're all far right. And Dinesh D'Souza, who are not known for their faulty to fact-based journalism. This is from Gilad Edelman at Wired. Look at his dunce.

Yeah, this is hilarious. So Gilad Edelman, who apparently is unaware we exposed the Spygate scandal, exposed the collusion hoax, exposed the impeachment hoax. He's not aware of that because he's not that bright. So I went and checked out Gilad's social media feed to see what kind of a genius this guy is. And here are some of his tweets. This guy apparently is a real thought leader. He is the Plato, the Socrates of our time. Maybe the

Bill and Ted Excellent Adventure Socrates, not Socrates. Here's one of his tweets. Why isn't electronic music simply called e-music? Would be more efficient and more in harmony with electronic mail. Thank you, Gilad.

It's genius nuggets like this that make people go to you as one of the thought leaders of our time. Here's his second tweet. Again, thank God for Gilad Edelman. By the way, he retweets. This second one's a retweet because this is fascinating for him.

He says, do you like suffocating and being slimed in your own sweat? Boy, oh boy, do I have the thing for you. He retweets his buddy, I guess, Boone Ashworth, talking about sweat saunas and sauna blankets. This is one of the, I mean, clearly the Aristotle of our time, Gilad Edelman. The Mount Olympus of intellects, Gilad Edelman, writing about misinformation. He doesn't know me.

Misinformation on Dan Bongino's Facebook. I never met this goofball in my life. Why are we establishing a parallel economy? Again, to get away from people like this who write articles like that for one reason, about misinformation on far right pages, because they're communists and totalitarians and they want us banned from public discourse. That's why I started this company and I'll be announcing this week Another addition to the portfolio of businesses I respectfully request you

consider supporting as you escape the leftist economy. All right, Guy, we're going to go to our hero of the day. Sorry, we got to, I know you had that rent control story queued up from last week, but I got to wrap it up because I'm running out of time. I got to all my spots there. I did. Amazing

how I did that. You know, I'm trying to leave you with some good news, so I've been incorporating this Hero of the Day segment. I found this guy this morning. Story will be in the show notes and you should read it. Washington Times story

by James Varney. Former cop leads quest to oust prosecutors funded by George Soros. Yes. Yes, I'm digging this guy's chili already. Nick Gerace. Nick Gerace.'s chili already. Nick Gerace. Nick Gerace.

Big hat tip. Nick Gerace. He was an old Philadelphia police officer who, remember I told you this story? Remember we covered this, Joe, how George Soros is funding all these local prosecutor races and getting these wackos in,

you know, people who do things like George Gascon in Los Angeles and they cater to criminals. Yeah. This is actually getting people killed. So finally, we have a doer here, not a talker, Nick Gerace, article in the Washington Times about him today. He's a former police officer leading the quest to get rid of these Soros-funded prosecutors

and get back to this crazy thing, Joe, like a society that respects lunatic things like, gosh, law and order and stuff. Who wants that? The answer is the same people like us and nick gerace so nice job nick gerace you're the damn bongino hero of the day wanted to get that in read the story in the show notes bongino.com slash newsletter all right folks thanks again for tuning in we really appreciate it a couple of quick requests please uh make bongino report.com your home for morning news.

We'll see you all tomorrow.
