Starting point is 00:03:26 Probably because he saw the topics in advance and pissed off today. Pardon my language, folks. Why won't the Democrats call out communism? Again, because they're communists. How hard is this to figure out? How hard is it to call out communism? It's like calling out like Count Dracula in a horror movie. Yeah, he's really bad sucking blood from people's necks without
Starting point is 00:03:48 their permission. That sounds kind of awful. Like, I don't know. I don't know. Maybe not too bad. Like, you can't figure that out watching the movie? Watching, you know, Freddy Krueger, you're like, Freddy? Yeah, I don't know. Freddy, the whole knives on the hands thing? We're maybe aging ourselves a little bit. Younger kids, like, I don't remember Freddy Krueger.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Yeah, they probably saw those movies like the ring and all that other stuff but there was a horror movies before that and you know there was a good guy and a bad guy freddy was the bad guy you should be able to call out freddy krueger you know and like communism is the freddy krueger of our time and if you can't call out the knife on the hands Freddy Krueger guy with the weird sweater and the hat. You probably got some issues, bro. I can't believe what's going on. Yes, we have a lot of problems in the United States. I'm going to get to we got election stuff coming up. The five alarm fire for freedom right here.
Starting point is 00:04:37 But what's going on in Cuba is a bigger issue because it's not just about Cuba. issue because it's not just about Cuba. It's about clearly the ideological divide in the United States where you have one side now that supports a murderous totalitarian system that will take the entire world down. And Cuba is just one symptom of that and their response to it. Then you have another side, us legitimate freedom fighters for freedom and liberty who are being marginalized. What happened? Why am I so bitter this morning? I woke up this morning and producer Jim from the radio show sent me this. He's like, look at this. This is Black Lives Matter, their official Twitter account. This is their response to the freedom fighters in Cuba fighting for liberty and freedom right now. Listen, I'm not going to read this whole thing,
Starting point is 00:05:21 but I'm going to go through some highlights of this. This is Black Lives Matter, a communist terror group. Communist terror group. Listen clearly. Black Lives Matter, if you support them, you are a racist, you are a communist, and you support terrorism. Period. It's not open for debate. It's not open for debate. So Black Lives Matter put out this statement.
Starting point is 00:05:43 You would think condemning the communists in Cuba for beating people, stealing little girls off the street, torturing them, political prisoners. No, no, that's not what Black Lives Matter is condemning. As you can see from the first part of their statement, they condemn the U.S. federal government? That's the U.S. government taking people into Cuban political prisons and torturing them?
Starting point is 00:06:06 Are you confused? Of course they're not confused. They are freaking communist losers, this group. There's some more in here. Black Lives Matter, again, they're condemning the U.S. government for the Cuban communists. U.S. government ironically run by Joe Biden, who just loves them. Then they talk about the United States embargo forcing, quote, pain and suffering on the people of Cuba by cutting off food, medicine, and supplies. They just made that up because they're too stupid to figure it out.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Should be called imbeciles lives matter because that's what they are. I'll get to that in a second. Then they talk about Cuba's strong medical care. Really? You mean the medical care where they send their doctors overseas outside of Cuba? They hold the doctor's family hostage and then they get hard currency for the doctor's services, which they don't give to the people of Cuba. You mean that medical care while people die in fifth-rate hospitals
Starting point is 00:07:05 because they don't even have syringes? You mean that place? This ridiculous statement goes on. Let's go to part two of this. They talk about how, again, the people of Cuba are being punished by Cuba. No, no, no, by the U.S. government. This is Black Lives Matter. It's a disgusting filth group.
Starting point is 00:07:24 United States leaders have tried to crush this revolution for decades. Again, blaming it on the United States. They then talk. I mean, you want to talk about a tragedy right here, how stupid these morons are. Black Lives Matter. Cuba has historically demonstrated solidarity with oppressed people of African descent. Are you this stupid? Are you really this dumb? I'm asking a serious question to the terrorists of Black Lives Matter because that's what you are. Are you really this stupid?
Starting point is 00:08:00 Cuba is showing solidarity with the oppressed. They're beating the. Cuba is showing solidarity with the oppressed. They're beating the... I want to say this so bad, but I don't want to... I need the Queens guy to come out a little bit sometimes. I know it's not appropriate, the language, but gosh. I grew up in Queens, New York, and cursing was a way of life, however awful it was. I know it doesn't reflect well. I get it.
Starting point is 00:08:29 I'm not defending it. But there are times I just want to talk like I normally talk growing up. They are the ones oppressing people, the Cuban government. Does this terror group, Black Lives Matter, not realize that? They are so full of it. It is, I can't believe people are falling for this. Black Lives Matter is a terror group that supports political prisoners. If you support them, don't approach me, don't come near me, don't try to debate me. You are a terrorist, you are a racist, and you are a communist too.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Debate me. You are a terrorist. You are a racist. And you are a communist, too. I'm not debating you. That's a fact. This is their statement. If you support this, you are a moron and a terrorist, too. Because that's what the Cuban government is, and that's who they support. So BLM makes a whole bunch of BS up in this thing. The U.S. government's at fault.
Starting point is 00:09:29 They're stopping food and medicine from going in there. Folks, if you're just making this up, please, let's go to this Wall Street Journal article. I've had to cite this over a couple days because liberals lie. These people have zero dignity, folks. None. Zero dignity. They are liars.
Starting point is 00:09:42 They lie to you all the time. Here's a woman who actually knows about the region. She's been covering it her entire adult life. An actual journalist, Mary Anastasio Grady. She writes for the Wall Street Journal. She's been covering South America, Central America, and Cuba, Spanish-speaking countries in the Southern Hemisphere, only for her entire career.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Here's the article behind Cuba's COVID uprising. She brings up this BS point that the United States is somehow keeping food and medicine out of Cuba. A BS point, the terrorists, terrorists, that's right. Terrorists of BLM, Marxist racist thugs have brought up yet again. Did I not tell you on what Monday show guys, you remember that watch with, I said, watch what the left will say. Now I'll say,
Starting point is 00:10:30 Oh, it's the embargo that did this, not the murderous tyrant Cuban regime. Well, it's interesting because there's not an embargo in Venezuela and Venezuela practice. Socialism doing bankrupted their country too. And food and medicine are exempt from the embargo.
Starting point is 00:10:44 As you can see from one of the first paragraphs in Mary Anastasia O'Grady's piece. These are just leftist lies. They're just making this up, folks. Food and medicine are not included in the embargo. Second, on their wonderful medical system. From the Mary Anastasio Grady piece. The medical system liberals and BLM terrorists love to celebrate. The medical missions where they send these doctors around the world, folks, are a money-making operation. You don't know this, you BLM terrorists?
Starting point is 00:11:29 Countries pay Havana for the workers in dollars or euros, and Cuba only gives a fraction of that income to the in-country Cubans. The rest, the regime pockets. You didn't know that? I understand. You're really not that smart. Of course, BLM is not the only communist terror group
Starting point is 00:11:50 out there. With regard to communists, I could tell you who else are communists, at a minimum, communist sympathizers. Media. And politicians, too. Why won't they speak out against communism? Because they are communists
Starting point is 00:12:06 what part of this is not getting through to the left to the persuadable of they are communists you doubt me hat tip tom uh tom elliott agrabian for this great supercut this is just a portion of it it's like three minutes long the entire thing this is when castro this pig of a human being who should rot in Hades, and I would take a leak on his grave if it was in front of me. Fidel Castro, a pig. I'm glad he's dead. Well, again, I made the mistake on the radio.
Starting point is 00:12:37 So he's looking down on his Bernie Sanders. He ain't looking down on anything. He's only looking up as the flames of Hades tickle his disgusting feet. Here's the media. A little montage when Fidel Castro died. Media people, yeah, kissing his ass. Check this out. By then a declared socialist,
Starting point is 00:12:56 he dramatically improved health care and literacy. Many saw positives, education and health care for all, racial integration. You see the medicine system they are very proud of you see athletes and think of how many cuban athletes have enriched the sports in this country and i'm quite certain that they're not celebrating his death in cuba and he brought health care and he got rid of batista and he make literacy a part of the Cuban government.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Even Castro's critics praised his advances in health care and in education. And he was the original revolutionary. He was the man the people called the great revolutionary. No, no, nobody calls him that. Only you media communists call him that. He's not the great revolutionary. He's a pig. You hear me? A pig.
Starting point is 00:13:46 And his family are pigs, there were you know what pigs are actually pretty cool animals there were disgraced the pigs pigs look down on this loser yeah i'm i'm again the tone bothers you today i totally understand maybe today's show is not for you i'm tired of of it. We are seeing the same. This is what I'm going to cover on my Fox show this weekend, too. You probably don't want to miss it. My monologue. We are going down the exact same path these Cuban pigs, these Castro-type communist pigs took to suppress and destroy the lives of the great people of Cuba. And it's disgusting that we can't speak with one voice of moral clarity on this in this country that used to love freedom and liberty. That was the media, of course, celebrating Castro, the great revolutionary, great revolutionary, my ass. It's not the great revolutionary.
Starting point is 00:14:40 He was a loser and a tyrant and a thug and a degenerate. Politicians are communists, too, out there. You can't say that again. We can say whatever we want and we will. Here's Obama talking about how Castro and the Castro acolytes, yeah, they should be able to question the United States because after all you know they're on a they're on the right moral arc of history i mean they are communists check this out i actually welcome president castro uh commenting on some of the areas where he feels that we're falling short in his view making sure that everybody's getting a decent education or health care
Starting point is 00:15:21 has basic security and old age that those things are human rights as well. I personally would not disagree with it. You believe this? Obama, remember at the time, welcoming a Cuban inquiry into the justice system and the processes and procedures in the United States. You believe this guy? This is real. That really happened. Folks, the situation gets worse. Here's another disgusting outlet, Reuters. Reuters is worried about the COVID-19 spike at the protests
Starting point is 00:15:56 in Cuba? They are. They're worried about that? Because if I remember correctly, Reuters was the same outlet that excused the BLM terrorist Marxist thugs who burned down American cities, who excused their rallies during the summer while they committed crimes and burned American cities down saying,
Starting point is 00:16:18 oh no, the cause was bigger than COVID and the cause of Cuban freedom and liberty in the face of communism isn't. Of course not. You need some, you need some examples. Here's Reuters when it came to the BLM rallies. Notice how many times they mentioned the spread of COVID here because it's exactly zero. Here's headline one. From Paris to Sydney, thousands worldwide took to the streets to show their support for BLM. Here's another one. Reuters. Thousands joined Black Lives Matter protests outside the U.S. embassy in London where's the COVID in there okay we don't see it next I'm sure it's in the next one
Starting point is 00:16:50 Reuters thousands gather for Black Lives Matter protests across Australia COVID I don't see it maybe definitely in the next one Reuters thousands march through central London starting in Hyde Park before winding their way to Parliament Square in solidarity with BLM did I miss that guys you see that anywhere? Anyone on the show? Want a course? Correct, right? You didn't see, right?
Starting point is 00:17:08 Nothing about COVID in there? Yeah, cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't think so. Reuters needs to defend communism. So, of course, they need to throw a monkey wrench in the protest by saying, oh, you could get COVID. But when it comes to, again, defending actual people marching for communism in the United States, like BLM, they're like, no, don, you could get COVID. But when it comes to, again, defending actual people
Starting point is 00:17:25 marching for communism in the United States, like BLM, they're like, no, don't worry about the COVID. BLM wants communism and tyranny here. And we're on that side. You need some more examples of politician cowards after Obama and others? Here's Amy Klobuchar yesterday. She's up on Capitol Hill and she's talking about the freedom fighters. Is she talking about the Cubans and the street fighting for freedom and liberty? Check this out. We stand here with these people of courage, with freedom fighters who came to Washington, D.C. to seek salvation. No, she's not talking about Cuba, folks. She's talking about the losers from Texas, the Texas Democrat zeros who fled like cowards and chumps
Starting point is 00:18:09 on private planes to flee the state of Texas because they were afraid they can't cheat in the next election. That's who she's talking about, freedom fighters. That's hilarious, freedom fighters. I mean, like,
Starting point is 00:18:22 if you can't laugh at that, you have no sense of humor. Freedom fighters, private plane flying losers like that guy, Tallarico, who was on with Pete Hegseth, that lawmaker from Texas, who, when given the opportunity to defend his racism, claiming black voters don't know how to get IDs, couldn't do it and tried to make it about Donald Trump. And they were proud of him, too. You'd say, well, clearly the Joe Biden White House would speak out against communism, mention it by name. That's what's happening in Cuba.
Starting point is 00:18:51 That's what people are marching against. It's clear as day. They're screaming liberty in the street. They're not screaming COVID. Well, Jen Psaki was given the chance yesterday at the lectern, was asked the question by Peter Doocy, and was given the opportunity to directly confront communism and speak with the moral clarity this country and
Starting point is 00:19:11 people around the world deserve speaking out against tyranny torture political imprisonment and communism and what did she do check it out do you think that people are leaving cuba because they don't like communism i think we've been pretty clear that we think people are leaving Cuba or not leaving Cuba or protesting in the streets all as well because they are opposed to the oppression, to the mismanagement of the government in the country. And we certainly support their right to protest. We support their efforts to speak out against their treatment in Cuba. They're marching against mismanagement. Like this is an ice cream stand that didn't order enough good humor bars for the day.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Yeah, yeah, that's what it's about, mismanagement. That's right. You hear them in the street. They're not screaming libertad. They're screaming mismanagement, down with mismanagement. That's it, Jen Psaki, Peppermint Patty up there. Yeah, she's really got that together. And then I love
Starting point is 00:20:05 the last part of that which she says and we respect their right to protest are you stupid they don't have the right to protest you dunce it's a communist country did you miss that did you not go to like seventh grade social studies class I'm not talking about the new seventh grade social studies where we study how to hate each other and about the white oppressor. I mean, when we actually did school and we taught things like communism is really bad. Did she miss there's no right to protest in communism? Sad that we have to go to people like Pitbull, Pitbull, who I I like Pitbull a lot. I really do. I shouldn't say of all. He's actually very talented performer, super talent.
Starting point is 00:20:44 I want to ruin the guy's career by saying that. I think the guy's fantastic. And I think he's pretty pissed off too. He's Cuban. And Pitbull provides more moral clarity than the media, Obama, Jen Psaki, the Biden administration, and BLM combined. Here's Pitbull. We had to bleep some of this out. Who happens to be Cuban? Again, speaking with more courage and moral clarity than all of these idiots combined on what's
Starting point is 00:21:12 going on with Cuba. Check this out. This is a message to the world. We need to stand up, step up. But if you don't understand what's going on, then you need to wake the up. Not only is this a Cuba event, a Cuba thing, this is a world event. This isn't about politics. This is about saving lives. This is about unity, not division. And bottom line, this is about taking action. Let me tell you something, why I'm frustrated and when I see everybody out there and doing what they're doing, which I love what they're doing. Okay? Because not only do we live for freedom, we ride for freedom, we die for freedom, but we motherf***er appreciate freedom.
Starting point is 00:21:51 And it gets me hot, it bothers me, and it frustrates me to a certain extent being a Cuban American and having a platform to speak to the world and not being able to help my own people. Not being able to get them food, not being able to get them water, not being able to get them food, not being able to get them water, not being able
Starting point is 00:22:05 to get them medicine, but most of all, not being able to help and really get them what they deserve, which is freedom. Yeah. Amen, brother. You're darn right, man. We need more of that, less of these media joker communist sympathizers. Speaking of that, on my Fox show thisoker, communist sympathizers. Speaking of that, on my Fox show this weekend, Unfiltered, you know, it's on 10 p.m.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Saturday night. Please check it out. We really appreciate it. Your support's meant the world to me. I've got Jorge Masvidal on. He's a UFC fighter, but he's also a Cuban American whose father knows the horrors
Starting point is 00:22:39 of communist Cuba very well. He speaks with a passion about it. He's a real fighter, real tough guy. It's one of the few times I'm having a fight and we're not passion about it. He's a real fighter, real tough guy. It's one of the few times I'm having a fight and we're not talking about fighting. Maybe we'll bring up some stuff at the end, but it's important.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Don't miss the show. All right, let me get to this. And then next, Freedom's Five Alarm Fires going on right now, folks.

This is super important.
Starting point is 00:24:46 StartMail.com slash Bongino. Go today. Thanks, Startmail. Again, perfect timing, although entirely unintentional. Folks, there's a five-alarm fire going on right now for freedom. The Civil War rhetoric the Democrats keep using. This is the worst time since the Civil War in the United States is extremely dangerous. I played the cut yesterday, in case you doubt me, of Joe Biden saying exactly that. Folks, this rhetoric is not by mistake. They are trying to condition Americans to believe that the 40 to 50 percent of the country that identifies as either Republican or voted for Trump, Republican, Libertarian, 40, 50%, maybe more, that those people are in fact enemies of the state.
Starting point is 00:25:29 Dan, you can't say that. I didn't say it. Joe Biden did. Declaring that Trump supporters are somehow, you know, Confederates looking to destroy the country, creating the worst conditions since the Civil War. That's what they're saying, not us. Are we supposed to ignore it?
Starting point is 00:25:50 Now, of course, we'll have the New York Times and the slimy sleazeball D-bags at the Washington Post saying, my gosh, there's a conspiracy there. They're igniting an insurrection. We're not igniting anything, you losers. insurrection. We're not igniting anything. You losers. We're simply quoting Joe Biden and the Democrats themselves calling us insurrectionists, worst condition since the civil war. This is their language, theirs, not ours. Do you understand that? Or are you too dense to figure it out? I know it bothers you that you were on the wrong side of the fight for civil liberties. You left this New York Times, Washington Post people. I understand that bothers you that you were on the wrong side of the fight for civil liberties. You left this New York Times, Washington Post people.
Starting point is 00:26:26 I understand that bothers you. It's tough to identify as a tyrant because that's what you are. So what do tyrants always do? They blame what they're doing on you. Oh my gosh, Bongino and Levin, they're inviting chaos. It's a conspiracy theory that they're being painted as insurrectionists. Wait, did you miss it? Why are they doing this?
Starting point is 00:26:51 Here's a tweet I saw by Jack Posobiec. Posobiec put this out, obviously, in his blue checkmark Twitter account. He says, quote, and again, folks, if this doesn't frighten you, I don't know what will. The media, of course, doesn't care. They love this stuff. He says the Biden administration is now planning to release a list of conservative social media influencers that were followed by January 6th defendants that questioned
Starting point is 00:27:11 the integrity of the 2020 election. The list also includes members of Congress per a White House official. Folks, we are at five alarm fire status. This administration is clearly now targeting you as an enemy of the state, declaring it's the worst condition since the Civil War. People are insurrectionists. Their language, folks, not ours. Now they're looking to accumulate another list, a list of social media influencers. I assure you I will be on that list with others. The fact that people follow the fact that we fight for freedom
Starting point is 00:27:45 and liberty here and election integrity really bothers the left. They hate that because they hate freedom and liberty. They're communists and they want to steal elections. That's what they do. So they want a list of dangerous enemies of the state. I assure you, I'll be honest. It's not the first list I've been on. Oh, what are you talking about, Dan? Judicial Watch. Remember this story from September of 2020? The State Department records that had from the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine showed they were monitoring me, Hannity, Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani. Again, go down to this Judicial Watch piece. It's not the first time I've been on a list. You see my name right there on the list.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Dan Bongino with the others. Not the first time. It's not the last time I'm sure I'll be on a list. Now, in case you think it's not a five alarm fire, that now the government's not watching you, not declaring it's the worst condition since the Civil War, not declaring Trump voters and Republicans insurrectionists. No, there's nothing to worry about here.
Starting point is 00:28:48 The Biden administration wants to put together a list of social media influencers. Here's a former assistant director of the FBI who says on MSNBC that the FBI and others should start investigating members of Congress. Remember Frank Fugazi, clown? I mean, this is the 8-8 guy. You've seen the video here four or five times where he humiliates himself saying that the white house on a eight, eight and lowered the flag to have staff because it was a sign to say, how Hitler that was him. That was for Gacy.
Starting point is 00:29:18 This guy was an assistant director of the FBI, which really questions for me, the FBI hiring process right now. Maybe they should reconsider that whole thing, being that Fugazi not only got in, but Fugazi got promoted to. Here's this loser Fugazi a few weeks ago on MSNBC, again, suggesting that it's not good enough to compile lists, start reading texts and all that other stuff. We have to start investigating members of Congress to check this out. Look, Chris Wray testified publicly on the Hill that what happened on January 6th is domestic terrorism. What have we learned from our
Starting point is 00:29:48 experience with international terrorism? In order to address that problem, arresting low level operatives is merely a speed bump, not a roadblock. In order to really tackle terrorism, and this time domestically, you've got to attack and dismantle the command and control element of a terrorist group. And unfortunately, and I know this is painful to hear, that may mean people sitting in Congress right now, people in and around the former president. That's how you do this. Otherwise, recruitment, inciting and cult-like leadership continues to recruit people to
Starting point is 00:30:24 violence. Ladies and gentlemen, this guy was a former assistant director of the FBI. This mental midget was a high-level supervisor in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, talking about investigating members of Congress for political differences. You still think we're not in trouble? So what have we covered so far? According to Posobiec, the White House is preparing a list of social media influencers. They'll be declared insurrectionists soon. I'll be on that list. I've been on lists before, by the way. No problem at
Starting point is 00:30:55 all. I'm used to it. I mean, it's a big problem, but I'm used to, believe me, I'm used to being on these lists. I'm sure we're being monitored again right now. You have former assistant directors of the FBI calling for investigations of members of Congress. You had the Biden administration the other day saying that they're reading people's texts, by the way, reading and the texts would go out publicly just to be clear. So we're not venturing in the conspiracy theory realm. What they're doing is they're signing up for Republican lists where we send out texts. They're reading the texts, but it's what they're doing next. Their denials of what they're doing are hilarious because it makes the situation worse. Here, Washington Examiner, check this out.
Starting point is 00:31:37 The article will be in the show notes today. It says, no, Biden isn't secretly policing your texts, but the author of this piece used to really read Christian Day talk. Bro, no, Biden isn't secretly policing your texts, but the author of this piece needs to really read Christian Datok. Bro, seriously, rethink your headline. No, Biden isn't secretly policing your texts, but both parties have been reading some for years. Datok blows this article so badly. I like the examiner a lot.
Starting point is 00:31:59 I don't even know how to describe how poorly this article is written. They are policing your text. He admits it later in the piece. Here, quote, a DNC official told Politico that they didn't do a great job and they fueled a lot of embellishment and speculation about the new initiative where the Biden administration wants to read the text from the political opposition. The new process sees communications officials take the misleading bulk text about vaccines flagged by volunteers and then forwards them to SMS aggregator companies such as Twilio or Bandwidth who will work with a mass texting client or have companies who work with mass texting clients, the official said.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Let me translate that mumbo jumbo because they talk clearly. 1,000% misses the ball here. He just described the Biden administration and the DNC policing texts. What are they doing? Folks, I used to be with Parler. What happened with Parler was exactly this. One of the first companies to get rid of us was Twilio. Twilio is a mass aggregator, text aggregator,
Starting point is 00:33:09 does things like that. The Biden administration and the DNC reading texts from Trump groups, reading, now once they go out in public, anyone can sign up for a text list, okay? We're not going to get into weirdo stuff. They are reading them. That's not the problem.
Starting point is 00:33:28 The policing part comes when DNC officials and political officials in the government do the public-private symbiote, then go to a private company like Twilio and go, hey, it'd be a real shame if you let this text stand, this text from this Trump group about the vaccine. You let this stand, you know, there may be government action later. Wink and the vaccine. You let this stand. There may be government action later. Wink and a nod. You get it?
Starting point is 00:33:51 The examiner typically does good work. This article's garbage. You don't have a problem with that? Government officials and people affiliated with the party in power going to a private company, Twilio or Bandwidth, and hinting or implying you darn well better take some of those texts down, that's misinformation. You don't have an issue with that? That's not policing texts?
Starting point is 00:34:12 What is that exactly? Can you explain to me what that is? When government officials work with private parties because government officials can't ban speech themselves to get private parties to do it for them? Can you explain what that is again? By the way, that's their apology, but I have down a minute.
Starting point is 00:34:27 That's the worst denial ever. Finally make it to page two. Let me take a break from my third sponsor. Cause I'm, I'm, I'm candidly. I'm a little wired up today. I had a lot of coffee.
Starting point is 00:34:42 I'm very upset about what's how you can't be down here in South Florida and talk to your neighbors who are everywhere, who are Cuban or are friends or relatives who are Cuban, and not be extremely bitter about what's going on right now. Gosh, there was ever a time in American history to speak with moral clarity. It's now. Hey, chain stores, they have different price tiers for professional mechanics and do-it-yourselves.

Starting point is 00:36:23 rockauto.com. Go check them out. Thanks, Rock Auto. Folks, it's been a huge break. The dam is fracturing on the 2020 Democrat election narrative. 2020 Democrat election narrative, just to be clear, is this. Nothing to see here, folks. Everybody move on.
Starting point is 00:36:42 No worries. It was all spic and span. Squeaky clean. No worries at all. Bald Mr. Clean guy. No problem. Well, now all of a sudden, mainstream media outlets,
Starting point is 00:36:57 even Fox and Tucker Carlson are picking up on the story we've been covering for a long time and many others. The dam is now broken on what's going on in Georgia. Brian Kemp, the governor, is going to have a long time and many others. The dam is now broken on what's going on in Georgia. Brian Kemp, the governor, is going to have a lot to answer for here. Tucker Carlson last night did a roughly nine-minute segment on what I believe to be election malfeasance in the state of Georgia. I'm going to go into three takeaways from Georgia, three issues we need to focus on like a laser. No distractions here. Okay. I'm sorry. I don't want to hear about
Starting point is 00:37:31 Krakens or anything else. I want to stay focused and get to the problem. We need to stay focused here. It is super important. Here's Tucker last night, jumping in to the Georgia 2020 election debate. Check this out. Why are we okay with any of this? We're okay with it because we've been told we have to be okay with it. We're undermining democracy if we ask questions about what happened during the 2020 election. And of course, that's a perfect inversion of the truth. Without answers to legitimate questions like the ones we disposed, and those are legitimate questions, democracy dies. People begin to understand
Starting point is 00:38:10 the system they've been told is on the level is in fact rigged. And when they believe that. Three issues, stay focused like a laser. Three issues, Tucker's right. Do not fall into this trap. We're subverting democracy. We're subverting democracy. They're subverting democracy. It is, as he stated, a perfect inversion of the argument we should be making. There is clear evidence something went wrong in Georgia in the 2020 election. Subverting democracy is pretending none of that happened, not the other way around. If they had declared Donald Trump the victor in Georgia, believe believe me this would be on the front page of every single newspaper three issues let's get to issue number one we discussed this last week we'll bring it up again article in the federalist
Starting point is 00:38:54 by margo cleveland it's in last week's newsletter if you're not on my newsletter you're missing some of this stuff go there bongino.com slash newsletter. It's important. New evidence indicates there are enough illegal votes in Georgia to tip the 2020 results. It's Margo Cleveland, folks. She's not some nutbag, okay? She's a very smart legal mind who writes for a great outlet, The Federalist. She said this in the piece, for those of you who missed it last week,
Starting point is 00:39:20 that in Georgia there was an audit and statewide recount confirming Biden's victory, but ignored in the process was an audit and statewide recount confirming Biden's victory, but ignored in the process was evidence that nearly 35,000 Georgians had potentially voted illegally. Under Georgia law, you have to vote in the county where you reside unless you change your residence within 30 days of the election. If people vote in a county in which they no longer reside, their vote in that county would be illegal.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Folks, Joe Biden air quotes won Georgia by 12,000 votes. Why do we put the air quotes in there? Because if 35,000 votes were illegal, you'd think the media would want answers on this. It's quite possible he did not win georgia we know that yet no we'd have to see where those votes were how it impacted the election is anyone in the media doing that homework no they're ignoring it calling us insurrectionists and the worst problem since the civil war issue number one voting. Did people vote illegally outside their county?
Starting point is 00:40:26 We need to stay focused here. Number two, even the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Folks, trust me, this is no cornucopia of conservative values. This is a left-leaning newspaper. Even they're acknowledging now, the video we played yesterday on my show, Tucker played it last night as well, of double counting of ballots. You can see it. It's the same ballot counting twice. It's the same markings.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Even the AJC, which is left-leaning, is acknowledging headline, some ballots initially double counted in Fulton before the recount. This will be in my newsletter today as well. I want to be crystal clear. Again, focus, focus, focus. We can't do that again. We have to stay crystal clear. County voting number one, double counting number two. Are we sure that enough votes were double counted to impact the election? We are not yet. We should not jump to any conclusions. We have to lay out the evidence carefully and do this right.
Starting point is 00:41:30 We cannot get ahead of this or over our skis. We have to state what we're sure of and state it clearly. We are sure, as even the AJC is acknowledging, that some ballots were double counted. Did they wind up in the final tally? We will have to figure that out. A real media outlet like the AJC would try to get to the bottom of that.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Real, using air quotes, if you get my sarcasm. So again, focused with horse blinders on. County voting in the wrong county could flip the election in Georgia. Double counting of ballots. We know it happened. The only question is, did they wind up in the final tally?
Starting point is 00:42:14 What's issue number three? Is someone ever going to explain this photo? If you're watching on Rumble, you can see the voter. You're like, what is that a photo of? It's a photo of an open door in a brick building and what appears to be an empty room inside. voter. You're like, what is that a photo of? It's a photo of an open door in a brick building and
Starting point is 00:42:25 what appears to be an empty room inside. Folks, this was a storage facility for ballots in Fulton County. It was supposed to be secured. The door is open. No one has yet given an appropriate explanation as to how the ballot material that was in there was subjected to an open door and was not properly secured. Could there be an innocent explanation? I doubt it. Could there be an explanation? I'd love to hear it. You have one?
Starting point is 00:42:53 I'm not getting out over my skis. No one else should either. I'm looking for an explanation there. Brian Kemp, Raffensperger, anyone going to speak up on that? You going to tell us what that is? You going to explain the county voting conundrum? You going to explain the double counting issue?
Starting point is 00:43:09 I'm waiting to hear it. Folks, the dam's breaking on Georgia. People are going to have to start to get answers to real questions real soon. Don't let them frame you in an inverted matter as an enemy of democracy when you're only asking for democracy to reflect the will of the people.
Starting point is 00:43:36 All right, moving on with some good news. We haven't done one of these segments in a long time. It's time for Ron DeSantis strikes again. We have a different one of those for the radio show, but I still love it. Both of them are great. They both have
Starting point is 00:44:00 a, they both have it allured to me. I love it. Nice job with that. So here's a Politico article, Marco Butto, poll, without Trump in the race, DeSantis dominates 2024 GOP White House hopefuls. Folks, listen, I think Donald Trump's going to run again in 2024. I support President Trump. We get that. But Ron DeSantis is clearly, clearly right now the future of the GOP. There's no doubt about it. The poll is pretty clear. I mean, he annihilates the competition. Even Mike Pence finishes a distant second to him in the polls.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Nikki Haley, Kristi Noem, all of them, you know, they all may bring certain strengths and weaknesses to the race if they decide to run for president, say Donald Trump doesn't run. But it's clear as day now, Ron DeSantis is the future of the GOP. And I couldn't be happier to see that desantis is one of the best candidates i have seen in a very very long time all right um i want to move on to this this you know i i hesitated to discuss this today during the show crazy sorry guys i hesitated to discuss this during the show because this CRT scam is making
Starting point is 00:45:08 me angrier by the day. I've got a couple stories and it's related to CRT, but it's not exclusively CRT. This is a money-making scam meant to divert you from the failures of the public education system and it's becoming obvious by the day. I'm going to get to that in a second. Let me get to my last sponsor first and if we can squeeze it in,'m going to get to that in a second. Let me get to my last sponsor first, and if we can squeeze it in, I want to get to the inflation menace coming our way. Hey, in case you missed it, Joe Biden decided to go to Chicago

You may be saying, Dan, we are angry. Yeah, I know. I get that.
Starting point is 00:46:51 But why aren't we angrier? It's not just that they're teaching our kids to be racist. That is bothersome and disgusting and grotesque, you know, leading to internal strife in America. I mean, if you wanted to do the bidding of our foreign enemies, this is the way you would do it by getting Americans to hate each other. But it's not just that they're teaching our kids to be racist. It's that the entire purpose of the educational process is to give people the basic skills they need to go and compete in life and in the job market. So not only are we not doing that, but we're wasting a bunch of time teaching kids to be racist. Jason Reilly has a great piece in the Wall Street Journal. Critical race theory is a hustle.
Starting point is 00:47:28 He talks about something really damning that you should always keep in your mind when you're fighting this CRT scam out there. And that's this. While they're busy teaching your kids to hate one another, folks, a majority of American fourth and eighth graders can't read or do math at grade level, according to the education department. And that assessment's from 2019, before the learning losses from the pandemic school closures. Whenever someone asks me, this is Riley, about critical race theory, that statistic comes to mind. What's the priority? Teaching math and reading or turning elementary schools into social justice boot camps? You know, when I was a kid, I bring this up often. We didn't
Starting point is 00:48:15 have a lot of money. It's not a poverty story or a sob story. I'm not a snowflake. It's just a true story. We didn't have a lot of money. The public school around us was PS 68 in Queens. The school was not very good. Matter of fact, it was terrible. And although we didn't have a lot of money, my mom said, well, you're going to go to St. Pancras. It was a local Catholic school now closed. I'm telling you, I'm only here with the ability to speak and do math and went on to business school later because of that school. You understand large swaths of America in inner cities and around the country will never have that opportunity because they're being forced into public schools that don't give a damn about your kids' ability to read, write, do arithmetic, any of it, but they care a whole lot about teaching them to hate one another.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Do you have any idea how many lives are going to be destroyed, are going to be wiped out by activists in schools disguising themselves as school teachers? And listen, I've said it a lot, and I'll say it again. It's not a virtue signal. It's a fact. Teachers changed my life. Good ones. I can name names, but the ones that are still alive, liberals will probably burn their houses down. So I won't. Teachers changed my life, but to the teachers out there now, and sadly there are a lot of them. I close to all, a lot of great teachers too, but there are a lot of them out there who are going out on TikTok and Snapchat and Twitter and whatever,
Starting point is 00:49:48 proclaiming the benefits of full-time CRT training in schools. I'm sorry, but you're a disgrace to the country right now. You are destroying lives. There's an opportunity cost to that lost time. And those opportunities lost aren't yours. They're theirs. You doubt me? Look at this Fox Baltimore story.
Starting point is 00:50:14 I thought I misread this headline when I first saw it. I didn't. Baltimore City Schools. 41% of high school students earn below a 1.0 GPA. Seriously, I thought I read that wrong. Fox Baltimore story. 41%. You can't get a 1 GPA?
Starting point is 00:50:38 How do you do that? You almost have to get the questions wrong on purpose. It's like the teachers are teaching you to get the question wrong. It's like they give you a math equation, you know, four plus four equals, no, no, tell them it's nine. You almost have to intentionally screw up a test to get a 1.0 GPA.
Starting point is 00:50:58 I think you get like 400 points on the SAT for signing your name. How is this even possible? Well, it's possible because the teachers in this country, not the good ones, but the grotesquities who have spent their time lobbying for CRT, can't, do you have one job? Teach the kids the skills they need for life.
Starting point is 00:51:21 You're not doing that. You're not doing that. You're in a noble profession and you've taken the honorable noble profession and you flushed it down the toilet and you've ruined a bunch of life. You destroyed their lives. If you were a teacher who has refused to teach these kids the basics, the 41%, they can't even get a 1.0 GPA. If you did that and you focused on teaching them to hate one another, said you personally ruined their lives.
Starting point is 00:51:51 That's not harsh. It's true. You did it. You had one job. It's time to take the gloves off here. I'm sorry. Your job is to teach. And when you do it well, you can change lives like you changed mine.
Starting point is 00:52:09 And God bless you for it. And to the ones that do it well, you have my sincere thanks. But to the indoctrinators and the liberal lunatics and communists in the classroom, you're a disgrace to this country. You're ruining its productivity. You're ruining its productivity. You're ruining its potential. You're ruining its citizens. And you are personally responsible
Starting point is 00:52:29 for the lives destroyed because you failed to prepare kids and do your job. Not like we have anything else to worry about either. Look at this AP story. U.S. overdose deaths hit a record 93,000
Starting point is 00:52:44 in a pandemic last year. Yeah, let's just keep the schools closed, folks. Not like there's anything going on, like a global pandemic or anything like that. Keep the schools closed. You got people depressed. You got people dying. People doing drugs. Did you miss all this? Have you ever
Starting point is 00:53:03 done a risk-reward calculus ever in your entire life? Their focus are lockdowns and CRT, not overdoses, lives destroyed, 41% of Baltimore students who can't get a one GPA, none of that stuff. folks one more five alarm fire we need to talk about today and i'm sorry for the macabre nature of today's show but we're never going to be able to fix problems if we don't highlight them there's a five alarm economic fire coming too we are looking into an inflation abyss we are not going to be able to escape from if we don't get a hold of this sooner. Why, folks? Because when you see expectations of inflation throughout the economy, the expectations themselves can become self-fulfilling. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:53:57 If you make, say, remote controls, right, what are your inputs? Your inputs are plastic, maybe these silicone-type feel buttons, whatever. These come from people make this stuff. They make the plastic. They make whatever. This is silicone or something. I don't know what it is. People make this stuff, obviously.
Starting point is 00:54:14 These are your inputs. Your output is this, this remote control for this TV over there. You combine inputs into a greater value-added output. When your inputs get really expensive, the plastic, the silicone pieces here, your output gets more expensive because it costs more to make this. So when you expect the plastic to keep going up in price,
Starting point is 00:54:39 you keep raising your prices, which causes other people to expect prices to go up, so they raise their prices too. You expect to expect prices to go up, so they raise their prices too. You expect a remote price to go up, the TV store raises the price of the TV. Expectations of inflation become a self-fulfilling prophecy, which can sink an economy like that. Just ask the Argentinians. Once one of the world's wealthiest economies were almost buried by, almost buried in record time by inflation it's happening now folks and why because we cannot get a hold of our spending look at the cns news
Starting point is 00:55:13 article it's important terence jeffrey was in yesterday's show notes federal taxes and spending set records through june so i know the libs will say we're just not raising enough money in taxes nonsense we had federal records set, tax revenue raised, and we are still $2 trillion in debt and rising this year. Federal taxes hit a record $3 trillion, while federal spending climbed to a record $5.2 trillion. Folks, the liberal argument is nonsense. They lie to you all the time.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Oh, we're just not raising enough money in taxes. We just hit a record. Can you read? And we're still $2 trillion in debt. No matter what we raise in federal tax revenue, the Democrats will always spend more. What does this have to do with inflation? Well, it has a lot to do with inflation. Because the reason we're spending more money than we get
Starting point is 00:56:03 is our Federal Reserve has committed to a whole bunch of fancy named ways to basically legalize counterfeiting. They're just printing money with no value behind it, quantitative easing, whatever they decide to call it. Our Federal Reserve has made easy money through low interest rates, has made it easy for the federal government to spend money it doesn't have. What's the result of the Federal Reserve printing a bunch of money? Well, you'll see from this CNBC headline, inflation, where more money in the economy chases the same amount of goods,
Starting point is 00:56:38 therefore the same amount of goods can fetch more money. That's what inflation is. Inflation climbs higher than expected in June as price index rises 5.4%. more money. That's what inflation is. Inflation climbs higher than expected in June. His price index rises 5.4%. Folks, the White House knows this is happening. They know this inflation is a deadly threat to the economy. Your salary buys less, products cost more. I can't think of a bigger witch's brew to sink this economy faster than an inflation crisis. What's the White House doing about it? Nothing. Well, Dan, they don't know don't know no they do know look at this politico article by ben white politico
Starting point is 00:57:10 left leaning out that by the way new concern for biden could larry summers be right about inflation quick story larry summers i know larry summers i protected him once in the secret service he is a democrat you hear me he's Democrat. He was a former Treasury Secretary. Larry Summers, a Democrat, again, has been warning the Biden administration, you're printing too much money and spending too much. There's an inflation crisis. They're not listening.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Here, from the Politico piece, there's a new fear circulating inside the West Wing of the White House. Maybe Larry Summers was right. The former Treasury Secretary has been warning since February that President Biden's spending agenda is creating the risk of an inflation spike this year, potentially cutting into the economic recovery from the COVID pandemic. They know they don't
Starting point is 00:57:57 care. They know they don't care. they don't care. Let me leave you with a little bit of good news because it's been a bit of a dour tone to the show today. As Drago Dzerian, the Navy SEAL I had on the show, my radio show and my Fox show last week, came from communist, formerly communist Poland, came here to the United States, entered the Navy SEALs, fought for this country.
Starting point is 00:58:28 He said, you know, when the chips are all down, Dan, the United States has a lot of freedom fighters. Therefore, I'm optimistic we'll fix this thing. I'm losing my optimism, but I'm still a little bit optimistic too. Don't miss the show this weekend on Fox. My monologue is going to be fire. Please unfiltered with me, Dan Bongino,
Starting point is 00:58:53 Saturday night, 10 o'clock. Don't miss it. Thanks for tuning in folks. I'll see you all tomorrow. You just heard Dan Bongino.
