All the Sanders supporters love throwing bombs at me and I throw them right back.
I'm not here to pull any punches, right?
The Dan Bongino Show.
This is the great irony of conservatism.
Even liberals win under conservatism.
Get ready to hear the truth about America.
Are you suggesting you're that stupid that other people can run your lives better than you can even though the cost and quality of what they buy, quote, for you doesn't even matter to them?
On a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.
All right, welcome to The Renegade Republican with Dan Bongino.
Producer Joe, how are you today?
I'm doing well, Dan.
Good to be with you this week.
Yeah, it's good to be back.
Thank you for all your concern.
Thank you for the Facebook messages, for those watching on Facebook Live, the Twitter messages, the emails.
We're down here in Florida, as you can see behind me.
There is some sunlight coming in.
Well, maybe you can't have to zoom out the camera a bit, but for those of you watching, yeah, there's The sun came out, thank God.
I mean, literally, thank God.
It feels good to see the sun down here in Florida.
It wasn't too bad on my side.
My friends on the West Coast got beat up pretty good.
To those in Sanibel and Marco Island and in the West Coast, Naples, Cape Coral.
Benita, that area where I ran for Congress, you know, God bless you.
You're gonna need some strength.
They got hit pretty hard over there and in Miami, they got hit pretty hard as well.
So, a lot to talk about, a lot going on.
Also, it's September 11th today.
I'll talk a little bit about that later.
But I just wanted to get to some stories because I want to get right back into the show.
Here we go!
Folks, you know, the left, even in times of horrible tragedy, They just can't, Joe.
They just can't stop themselves.
And again, for those of you who listen to the show and wonder what fuels my seemingly endless anger at liberals, this is it.
So this is unquestionably a national tragedy, folks, what happened with Harvey and Irma.
I mean, this thing hit the whole state.
I'll post some pictures on Instagram.
My street was flooded.
Knocked down a few trees.
Little bit of damage, but nothing that bad.
But the entire state of Florida took some kind of a hit somewhere.
From wind or rain or flooding or whatever it is.
This is gonna be a multi-billion dollar disaster.
Some people on the West Coast are gonna be wiped out.
Some people in the Keys were wiped out.
You have people in Houston still not even close to recovered.
Not even close.
Some of them probably still have water in their homes in Houston and a lot of it.
And what's the left doing?
Again, with the climate change narrative.
It's sickening.
It is absolutely, it makes me want to wretch.
It's so disgusting what they're doing.
So, what's the genesis of this?
Because we talked about it.
Why am I bringing this up again?
Well, some guy, I've never heard of at all, but he's got a lot of followers on Twitter.
Some guy, Michael Ian Black.
You ever heard of this guy, Joe?
No, never heard of him.
I haven't either.
He's got two million followers on Twitter.
He's a liberal, which, you know, means he's a kook and, you know, most of the time and unfortunately proved this right.
So he sent out a tweet over the weekend.
I went after him as most people did because it was just so outrageous.
And the gist of the tweet was that, you know, in light of what's going on with all of these hurricanes right now, it's it's refreshing to know or something that one party does not believe in science, of course, talking about Republicans.
Here we go again, folks.
Here we go again.
They cannot control themselves.
Joe, they can't control themselves.
The left is absolutely convinced that they are so sick in the head that they think as people, I mean, it would, listen, I had a bad, the problem with yesterday's storm with us over here on the East coast, wasn't that it was particularly acute is that it was chronic.
You know, we, we only had gusts over here, like 60, 70 mile an hour gusts, but it went on for like 20 hours.
So I lost a few trees, no big deal.
The power thankfully is still up so I can get the show on the air for you all.
But, you know, this is not a good thing, okay?
There's tons of lost productivity, people can't go to their jobs, and you got this imbecile on the left putting out a tweet saying that the Republican Party doesn't believe in science.
It doesn't stop there.
You may say, oh, who's this guy?
He's a dope, no one knew who he was, why do you even care?
Well, he got humiliated on social media badly, by the way.
I mean, it's just, the onslaught has just been overwhelming because people are so disgusted by this creep.
Uh, but Politico put out a piece.
Now, they don't call Politico, um, Bull-i-co.
You can, you can figure out the, they don't call it that for nothing.
Politico put out a piece as well.
Harvey is what climate change looks like.
Okay, so now the narrative here, remember, people are still getting the water out of their houses in Houston and still undergoing, they're still in the midst of this in Florida.
The left doesn't give you a second A second to recover, they're already over that.
How do we make this work for us politically?
Let's blame it on climate change.
So you have Politico, you have this Michael Ian Black guy who I think on this show he's gotten more PR than he's gotten in years because I've never heard of the guy.
Then you have this one, Joe.
This is a doozy.
Brad Johnson, who is the executive director of the Climate Hawks Vote, who believes now that we should start jailing public officials.
Jailing!
Who, quote, reject science.
Right in jail, Joe.
Right in jail.
Throw them right in the slammer.
Right in the clink.
Throw away the key.
All right.
So, you know, That I have to waste your time again debunking the stupid liberal myths is an insult to everyone around, but unfortunately we have to do it because the left just never, they're sick, sick, deranged people.
So here we go, Daily Signal has a piece out today I'll put in the show notes, always available at Bongino.com.
If you want to go there, show notes are there.
I will also email them to you if you subscribe to my email list, which has a big tab on my website.
It says join email list.
So I will send these articles right to you.
It's a really good one.
The Daily Signal article today, climate scientist Roger Pilkey tweeted a graph from his paper showing Joe No trends in global tropical cyclone landfalls over the past 46 years.
No trends.
So again, the leftist premise that Harvey and Irma, now there's been a tragedy, we need to leverage this into a political, instead of helping people, don't help folks, just let's worry about my narrative.
My narrative, man.
It's all about the narrative.
Okay?
This is all due to climate change.
Again, this guy Pilkey tweeted a graph showing No trends in global tropical cyclone landfalls over the past 46 years.
In other words, climate change has nothing to do with it.
You're just making it up.
Yeah.
Okay.
You say, oh, well, that's not enough.
So what?
There's no trends.
Maybe there's a micro trend.
Somebody missed.
Okay.
So from the Daily Signal piece, statistician and Danish author Bjorn Lomborg also tweeted a graph showing major hurricanes making landfall in the U.S.
Trending downward for well over a century.
But my narrative.
My narrative, man.
I need the narrative.
I gotta get the narrative.
How do we win an election?
Hey, dude, there's people floating in their house still.
We don't care about that.
We need the narrative.
We gotta go win elections.
You sick?
I'm gonna leave that there.
You deranged lunatics.
Can you shut your soup cooler for five minutes while we recover from this storm before you start lying again to the American people?
You are disgraceful, disgusting slobs.
You are lying pigs.
Every one of you.
And you know, now that I've been through now, hurricane number two down here, I'm getting more and more disgusted by the fact that instead of trying to solve the problem, looking at ways to build resilient structures, looking at, right Joe, what's actually happening in a hurricane, look at what, better prognostication for weather events.
Instead of looking at actual ways to help people, you suck!
And what are you doing?
You're sitting here lying to people because you want to win elections, you pigs!
And you know what?
I'm sorry if you're offended by that.
I know my wife's not going to like this show, but these people make me sick.
Now, again, let's go back to beyond Lombard here.
Lombard.
Hurricanes making landfall in the U.S.
are actually trending downward.
Again, it's not just that you're lying to people, you slobs.
It's that you're lying to people and making them believe that the opposite of what's happening is actually happening.
The opposite, you slobs.
You disgusting, lying pigs.
Can you tell the truth for five minutes about anything?
Maybe if you spent as much time, again, focusing on building, building, I'm not a huge fan of building codes, but maybe if that's your thing, again, better climate sensors, maybe better ways to predict and evacuate people and get them out in an emergency.
Maybe you'd save a life instead of trying to intentionally harm people by manipulating them and lying to them.
You animals.
Here's another one because you may say to yourself if you're a liberal and unlike you we believe in the truth because we're not pigs like you guys.
So what we do over here is we actually tell the truth.
So you may say to yourself, well, you had this lumber guy and this pilky guy.
I don't trust them.
Maybe they have conservative leaning.
So of course, if you're a conservative, you have to be lying.
But if you're a liberal and you lie, it's automatically the truth, Joe, right?
Of course.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
They're smarter than we are.
Yes.
Of course they're smarter than we are.
We're all stupid.
So let's go to the, this is from the Daily Signal piece again.
Let's go to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
And good, and for the people online, they make you sick too.
Good, Jim.
You're with me here.
Hi, Jim.
They make me sick.
Yeah, Jim's on Facebook Live.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, no bastion of right-wing values, folks, reported in its most recent scientific assessment that...
No robust trends in annual numbers of tropical storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes have been identified over the past hundred years in the North Atlantic Basin, and there are no significant observed trends in global cyclone frequency.
Oh my gosh, I mean...
Do you, folks, do you understand that literally nothing they're telling you is true?
This is what infuriates me about the left.
If you're on the right and you say, you say that, hey, the Reagan tech, this happened to me during my last political campaign, you say the Reagan tax cuts led to a near doubling of tax revenue to the United States government, which it did, 500 billion to 900 billion.
There will be some hack clown reporter like that Naples Daily News goof I had to work with Who will say, no, no, it didn't double.
It only went up by about 0.4762, whatever.
And they'll be like, he was clearly wrong.
And you're like, okay, listen, maybe I was off by a sliver here.
Maybe it didn't go up by a hundred percent.
It went up by 95% or whatever it was.
But the premise of what I said is absolutely true.
Joe, they'll never stop writing about it.
Even though the absolute premise of what you said, that tax revenue went up and substantially is factually correct, right?
But when the left says something that's not only factually not true, but the opposite is the case.
Climate change led to Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma.
Climate change did it.
And the evidence says the exact opposite.
That neither intensity or frequency of storms has gone up at all.
Matter of fact, it's gone down since the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere at levels the left wants to correlate with global climate activity.
They're not only lying, they're telling you the opposite story.
No one in the media will bother with it at all.
Matter of fact, even when you call them out, the media will call you a climate denier and write pieces like they have in this hack site, Politico, that Harvey is what climate change looks like.
Here's what the title should read.
Harvey is absolutely not what climate change looks like.
They're just making this up.
I mean, if you're a liberal, does it ever bother you that you never have a fact to stand on?
Is there ever a time where you stand back and you look your kids in the eye and you tell them how much of a liar you are?
Yeah, I know that sucks.
I know that really sucks to hear.
But do you ever look your kids in the face in disgust and say, gosh, I've lied to you?
If you're a college professor lecturing kids and propagandizing them, does it ever bother you that you're a total, complete liar?
That you're a hack?
That nothing you say is true?
You know, if we can't agree on an objective set of facts, I just gave you data from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a left-leaning outlet, if anything.
Two climate scientists, data that's not controversial at all, that completely refutes the left's premise that climate change led to these two hurricanes, and you will continue to open your yap and say things that are not true.
Does it ever bother you that nothing you say is true when you're a total hack?
I didn't want to spend a lot of time on this story.
I know I say that a lot with stories, but I really, I have six or seven other doozies I want to get to, but this just, I can't take it, man.
I cannot take it.
I know I love my wife to death.
She's the greatest thing that ever happened to me, but she really doesn't like it when I bash these people, but I'm sorry.
There's nothing else to say to disgusting people like this Michael Ian hack.
Michael Ian Black.
I mean, what else do you say?
They're just liars!
In the middle of a hurricane, that I'm actually living through, by the way, he tweets out that I don't believe in science, but when you give him the science...
He, do you understand, like, he's the guy who doesn't believe in it?
Yeah.
Like, no, Michael, here's the actual science, okay?
Here's the actual science.
No, no, no, you guys don't believe in science.
You're like, is this a Beavis and Butthead episode?
I'm serious.
Like, remember Mr. Anderson would come out and Beavis and Butthead would have messed with his trailer, his RV, and they just walked out.
And like, there's all this damage inside.
Were you guys in my RV messing around?
No, those were other kids.
That's the left!
Those were other kids, like, remember that, the laugh?
I just saw you guys do it!
And this is the left, like, you guys don't believe in science, conservatives.
Okay, Michael, here's the science.
The science says the opposite of what you're saying.
That was like other kids.
I mean, what do you say to that?
That was like other kids?
It's just a, the left is an extended Beavis and Butthead episode.
The stupid is so strong, you don't even know what to say!
No, no, here's the science.
Michael, this is actual science.
Do you understand?
I don't think... what was it?
Princess Bride?
I don't think that means what you think it means.
I don't think science means what you think it means, Michael.
Man.
Listen, this is a disturbing story, too.
It's kind of moving on a bit, but what's happening in the Caribbean right now is really disturbing.
Have you seen these stories, Joe, that people are walking around in St.
Martin, areas that were slammed by Irma with Category 5 winds?
And it's one of the quotes is people are walking around like zombies are scavenging for food.
Apparently there's some looting going.
Yeah, it's a real human catastrophe over there.
I know the French and their portion, the UK and the United States are doing their best to get people out.
But there were people are honeymooning over there who are in a lot of trouble, folks.
This is a really horrible story.
Now, I have said to you repeatedly, please go out and pick up a supply of emergency food.
I read this story this morning and I thought, You know, thank God for a company as one of our sponsors like My Patriot Supply.
These guys have been unbelievable.
Like I said, they've been emailing me and DMing me and trying to get, you know, some emergency supplies that they can donate.
Please go pick up your supply of emergency food.
I mean, reading these stories today as a listener, I get it.
They pay for the show.
I totally understand they're a sponsor.
I know people hate commercials.
Listen, whatever you do is up to you.
I'm just telling you as a friend and as someone who actually practices what he preaches.
After what's happened over the past few weeks, not having a supply of emergency food is crazy.
Please go to preparewithdan.com.
You get a lot of emails about the website.
Preparewithdan.com.
Pick up your one month supply of emergency food today.
It's available for just $99.
All you need is water.
Keep water and food on hand.
What's the worst that can happen, folks?
That stuff lasts for 25 years.
You never use it.
You throw it out in 25 years.
We can all agree that would be the best day of your life.
Go pick it up today.
PrepareWithDan.com.
I appreciate you all, by the way, supporting the sponsors.
It means a lot.
All right.
So I wasn't going to mention this clown again.
Sorry.
This is kind of a little fired up today after a weekend of busting my butt, closing shutters.
And I should maybe take the camera outside and show you what the front of my house looks like.
You'll see why I'm a little fiery today.
But I got to another argument this weekend on Twitter with another liberal clown.
So there's a lady, I think she writes for Media Matters.
I've never heard of her.
Frankly, I don't think anyone else has either.
And I'm always hesitant to bring up people like that because I think they get more publicity from my show.
And I don't say that out of any sense of arrogance or any kind of a humble brag, but I mean it.
You know, tens of thousands of listeners per show and literally hundreds of thousands closing in on a million per month.
I mean, Joe knows that.
He sees the data like I do.
So mentioning her name, she gets more publicity than just leaving it alone.
But she's so disgusting and her premise is so disgusting that I really have to address it.
So her name is Lisa Hymas.
H-Y-M-A-S.
And she writes, I think, for Media Matters or something.
I don't even know.
But I did an appearance on Tucker Carlson not too long ago about the looting in Hurricane Harvey, which no one questions happened.
And by the way, never made the case that it happened on a mass scale.
Me, that is.
As a matter of fact, Tucker didn't either.
And I made the case, though, Joe, and what I brought up on the show is you have to be a, and I'll use the exact term, a certifiable savage man-beast to loot from people in the event of a hurricane.
Is anything controversial about that at all?
No.
You may not like the term certifiable savage man beast.
How do I say this?
Looting is wrong.
Looting, we get it.
But yeah, you're right.
But Joe, what has two thumbs is pointing at himself right now and doesn't give a rat's ass what you think about the language he uses to describe savage man-beast looters?
This guy.
Don't care one, I mean literally don't care one bit.
Matter of fact, next time I'm gonna double down and find even more explosive adjectives because I hate looters that much, okay?
I can't stand the savages of society, the leeches, The animals that feed off everyone else.
And I went on Tucker and made that known.
Now, of course, what is Lisa Hymus, hack writer at whatever, Media Matters, which is a clown site?
What does she write?
She insinuates in her piece that this was racist.
Here we go!
Keep in mind, there was no mention of race in any way, shape, or form in the show.
But again, this is the left's tactic.
These are lying animals.
She is the certifiable savage man beast.
Because you know what she is?
She's the racist.
Now, let me give you an example in case you say, oh, you're just trying to do a kind of counterpart.
No, no, I mean it.
She's legitimately a racist.
And I'm going to tag her name in this so that any employer she gets understands she's a racist in the future.
She is a racist.
It's not that I'm trying to flip the card.
She is an actual racist.
I'll prove it to you, Joe.
Say you go to like a cocktail party, right?
And you know, it's a month or so after this and some guy says in a, you know, in polite company, he goes, man, you guys remember that hurricane a month ago?
You believe that looting?
And everybody's like, yeah, man, that was horrible.
You just people work for a living.
And I'm bringing this up today, by the way, because it happened again in Fort Lauderdale.
And there are, by the way, not just one or two cases.
There's 30 plus arrests for looting in Fort Lauderdale, which never happens, according to the left.
So now they're arresting people for fake looting, according to this idiot, Hymas.
Okay.
There's also cases happening up in Orlando.
Widespread?
No, absolutely not.
Limited?
No, absolutely not.
Significant enough to report on.
Okay.
So you're in this little circle, a guy goes, hey, remember that looting?
Oh, that was terrible.
And some guy comes into the conversation and goes, yeah, those black people should stop that.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
Uh, what?
Come again?
Now, tell me, Joe, you wouldn't be like, uh, dude?
Say what?
Say what?
Yeah.
You might want to wrap that up.
Yeah.
Nobody's talking about black people.
We're talking about looters.
If they're black, hispanic, green, or blue is irrelevant to the conversation.
The conversation is about looting!
We're not making it about black people!
But that's what Lisa Hymas is doing!
Because she's a racist!
Because Lisa Hymas, when you have a conversation about looting, what's the first thing she thinks, Joe?
Black people!
No one else thinks that!
That is an actual racist!
This is a liberal, so married to identity politics, that when a conservative discusses criminality and crime, and actual victims, Joe, the people who got their store looted, what does she think?
Black people.
Please explain to me how Lisa Hymus is not a racist.
I mean, I'm dead serious.
If you're a liberal, listen, I know, because once in a while I get your nasty grams, daniellapongino.com is my email.
Please email me, explain to me how that's not racist.
Nobody mentioned at all, Joe, ever on the show, for obvious reasons, the race of the people involved.
Because it doesn't matter, because nobody cares.
All we care about is the loot.
I didn't have a skin pigment in mind.
No, nobody did, even when we started this conversation.
Right.
It's Hymus who brings it up and then uses it to shut down conversation.
In other words, you see those guys, Tucker and Dan Bongino, they're racist.
They're talking about looting.
It's she's the one who did it.
She's the actual racist.
Now folks, the why matters.
I've discussed the why on this show repeatedly.
Why does the left do this?
The left figured out a long time ago, through this iron triangle they have of Hollywood, academia, and the media, that once uncomfortable conversations start, folks, they were gonna lose.
So what do you do?
Let me give you an example because I use analogies on the show and based on the feedback I think you all like them.
So Joe, you're a kooky liberal and I'm the conservative.
We're having a conversation other people are listening to.
Now, during that conversation the conservative brings up looting and hurricanes.
The hurricanes, the leftists, once you start bringing up climate change, you start bringing up the facts, you start saying, well, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has actually said that the intensity and frequency of hurricanes has gone down, that what you're saying is inaccurate.
The left does, you understand the left, the liberal, you Joe, you have nothing.
What are you going to say?
They're lying?
It's not, it's the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
This is like a left-leaning group at best, if not far left, has completely refuted your premise.
You have nothing else.
You have nowhere to go, Joe.
So what do you do?
The only thing you can do is say, well, you're a climate denier.
Yep.
Because the speech, what I mean by the speech code is, By classifying any speech about climate change outside of the Iron Triangle orthodoxy.
The Iron Triangle orthodoxy is we will leverage every weather event to make people believe climate change is real.
Anything said outside of that has to be stopped.
Even backed up by facts and data.
The only way to stop it is to use a pejorative to describe the person using the facts and data.
And using that negative term, they hope people shun that person.
Because Joe, I mean, who wants to be associated with a climate denier, right?
You are a climate denier!
You're a climate denier!
You need to be Hester Prynne.
They want the scarlet letter right on your forehead.
C. And the way they do it is they use speech codes.
Any speech outside of the accepted orthodoxy is to be shut down immediately, and they do it with the scarlet letter.
On climate, it's an obvious one.
You're a climate denier.
But criminality and focusing on criminality is a conversation, folks, and do not doubt me to steal Russia's line for a minute, appropriately footnoted, by the way.
Don't doubt me on this.
The left hates any discussion on criminality because they believe criminality is society's fault.
They think if we had better systems of organization, there would be no criminals.
They see the criminals as the victim, not the victim of the crime.
They never, ever want to discuss criminality.
And whenever criminality is discussed, the only way to shut the conversation down, because criminality, Joe, is largely, obviously I'm not talking in exclusives here, But it's proportion of criminality and the number of criminal incidents is larger in cities run largely by liberals.
There are a lot of conservative areas, conservative states that have high crime rates too, but liberal cities have crime problems.
Yeah, but you're a racist.
Yes!
The only way to shut that down is to say- You're pointing it out already!
I'm going to point it out with some more facts, by the way.
No!
Yes.
Facts.
I know that scares people.
There's a legal insurrection piece today by a writer who goes by the name of Fuzzy Slippers.
That's pretty funny.
I don't know if it's a he or a she, but let's just say it's a he for now.
Writes really good stuff.
Talking about the crime rate in Baltimore.
How the crime rate in Baltimore, despite it only having a population, a fraction of what New York is, The crime rate in Baltimore has gone up dramatically.
Yes, it has.
I mean, I know, Joe, you live close to Baltimore.
And you may say, oh, well, New York's a liberal city, too.
But New York had Giuliani and a relatively conservative law enforcement approach that shut a lot of that down.
And it was continued by Bloomberg as well, even though he's a far left liberal.
The broken windows policing policy.
The left does not want to focus on this kind of stuff.
So what do they do?
Anytime you bring it up, like I brought it up on Tucker during the show about looting, they have nothing else.
They have to say, Oh, this is racist, even though they're the racist!
I mean, seriously, if you're one of my listeners, and believe me, I know we have a lot of people who are Hispanic, Black, Asian.
We have a guy in the Philippines who emails me all the time.
We have a guy in Thailand who emails me all the time, right?
How do you not take offense to that?
No, I mean, I'm serious.
I mean, I'm Italian, Irish, and German.
And my mother said a little bit of English.
I don't know, but I know we're a lot Italian, and I know we're a lot Irish, too.
If someone were to bring this up, a conversation about looting, and then someone, a reporter, walked into that circle and said, yeah, man, those Italians, they gotta shut that down.
You know what?
I'm not a snowflake, and I wouldn't melt down and demand that the person be arrested like liberals do, or beat him up, or throw a pie in his face like liberals do.
But I tell you, Joe, I'd go home and I'd probably be a bit offended and I'd say to my wife, I mean, my wife gets this a lot.
My wife's Colombian.
She can be the first one to tell you if we ever meet up.
Any of the listeners, you know, there are people who around her have actually made jokes about she's Colombian, not from South Carolina, Columbia, the country.
And people make jokes about, you know, cocaine and stuff.
My wife's like, you know, no, inappropriate.
Thank you.
She doesn't dwell on it for a month, but it's inappropriate.
How, if you're black and listening to my show, are you not offended by Lisa Hymus the racist?
How?
How is that?
You have a conversation about looting, and the first thing she brings up is black people.
How are you not offended?
Folks, I'm not kidding, and I swear, I ignored this hack for a couple days.
Because I ignore most people on the left because this woman probably has zero audience at all.
But I can't ignore it anymore because this is what they do all the time.
They don't have anything else.
They have no real ideas.
Alright, speaking of which, the left...
Again, it's doubled down on insanity.
Last week we talked about their attacks on Christianity and Catholicism, Senator Dianne Feinstein.
Yeah, during a Senate hearing for a judge for the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein and Dick Durbin doubled down attacking her religion.
This has created quite a controversy.
Now, I covered it on last week's show.
That's a summation of what happened and I'll tweet out an article and I'll put in the show notes today an article about how this has gotten really ugly.
But I just wanted to add to it to show you why the far left is losing and losing badly.
Why the radical far left, folks, has become a fringe movement.
Here are a couple other just unbelievable doozies from your far left friends.
So Martha Plimpton.
You know who Martha Plimpton is?
I know she was in the movie.
Remember Goonies?
Yeah.
You know that Cyndi Lauper?
Yeah, Cyndi Lauper was in it.
Yeah, she was in that.
She had this song for the movie.
Well, Martha Plimpton's like a C-rate actress.
She's like a Kathy Griffin or below level.
And she went to this abortion celebration festival.
Yeah, I said that right.
In Seattle.
And she started talking about her abortion and was like, I got my first abortion here in Seattle's Planned Parenthood.
Yay!
What?
Come on!
No, no, the yay is an actual quote, by the way.
It's not me, like, being hyperbolic.
That's an actual quote.
So she's celebrating now her abortion.
So that was her abortion.
And, you know, instead of now, their old approach, safe, legal, and rare, it's now, now let's celebrate the death of human life.
And here's another one.
Luis Gutierrez, who is just a disgusting, filthy human being, who is a House of Representatives member.
Attack General John Kelly.
General John Kelly is the Chief of Staff of the White House right now.
And this isn't... If you haven't heard this story, ladies and gentlemen, again, this guy's a Democrat, Gutierrez.
He's a hack.
He's another just hostile, angry, filthy human being.
And he went after General Kelly.
And because General Kelly supported the rescinding of the DACA, Obama's DACA amnesty, And remember, regardless of where you stand, Trump just rescinded the unconstitutional executive order and kicked it back to Congress.
So regardless of where you stand on the issue, saying that he rescinded DACA altogether is kind of disingenuous, because it was unconstitutional the way it was done.
Gutierrez, who thinks John Kelly was a part of this DACA rescinding, said that he is basically unworthy of the uniform and insinuated that he's a white supremacist.
Unworthy of the uniform.
Joe, do you know this guy's eldest son?
One, this guy is served with distinction in the military, General John Kelly.
You don't get to be a general by being some clown, okay?
He lost his oldest son in Afghanistan.
In action.
You know, Gutierrez, you class 3 douchebag.
Maybe you want to rethink that.
I'm just going to leave it at that.
Because you're just an a-hole.
And you're not worthy of an ounce more of my oxygen, you piece of steaming garbage.
And you vote for this guy?
You know what?
I'm done.
I don't even want to.
I'm just pissed off, so forget it.
I don't even want to talk about it anymore.
Because you're seriously not worth an extra kilo calorie of energy, you piece of crap.
All right, let's move on to some more optimistic stuff.
There's an interesting piece today by Alan Dershowitz in the Wall Street Journal, which I will again put in the show notes today.
Oh, look at that.
That's crazy.
The guy I went to the police academy with is on TV right now at the 9-11 memorial.
Wow, gosh.
Oh, man, I haven't seen him in a long time.
Sorry, folks, didn't mean to get distracted.
Interesting piece of Alan Dershowitz.
Alan Dershowitz is a Democrat, he's not a Republican, but he's talking about the dangers proposed by the alt-left as in contrast to what he calls the far-right.
I don't call it that.
He calls them the...
The far right is not the far right, okay?
But just using his vocabulary, sadly, for a minute, he actually makes some interesting points in there.
And it's a point I've discussed in the show before, but I think he makes it in a much more elegant point here.
He says, Joe, that the far left is far more dangerous than what he would call the far right.
And here's the reason why.
He has two basic takeaways, which are really good.
He says, think about this.
There are no hard, comparable limits on the hard left compared to the hard right.
What does he mean by that?
Joe, if you're on the, quote, hard right, and you are, say, again, this is a nonsense term, but if I don't use, I can't describe his article without using his terminology, even though it's wrong.
Sure.
But his premise is that if you're on the hard right, nobody invites Nazis And fascists to a college campus to speak.
It doesn't happen.
Like if it happens in isolated incidents, these groups are, not only would they be attacked, they'd be laughed off a campus.
Like nobody does that.
No mainstream conservative group, no college Republican group would invite a Nazi on campus.
Which I think makes my point that these are not the far right.
These are just fringe elements of society.
Nothing to do with right-leaning politics.
But working with that for a minute, So that's a ceiling on, quote, far-right activity, Joe.
There are socially acceptable and unacceptable behaviors that the far-right can't do.
One of them is you can't invite speakers to camp because nobody accepts them.
You can't invite them to college campuses.
You can't invite them to speak at your Republican club.
And thankfully, and nobody would because they have nothing to do with us, as I've said repeatedly.
But he says there's no comparable limit on the far left.
He makes a great point, Joe.
He goes, think about it.
The far left, you have college professors, you have the Sean Penns of the world and Hollywood people, and you have media people, people at CNN and far left outlets, that still talk glowingly about communism, Castro, Guevara, Che Guevara, Chavez down in Venezuela.
Remember all those Hollywood actors, Oliver Stone went down there praising Chavez.
Folks, these are people Who have literally killed a combined tens of millions if not hundreds of millions of people throughout human history.
When you combine Stalin, Pol Pot, when you combine Mao, Castro, Guevara, all of these far left savages and yet Joe...
These people are, there are still academics and people out there who celebrate these people openly.
Yep.
There's no, with no worries at all.
No anxiety about it.
No, they invite speakers to college campuses who talk glowingly about socialism.
No problem at all.
So Dershowitz's point is a very elegant one.
That he says, even though people focus on the right, the far right, the right is buried, they're buried on what happened in the past, not what happens in the future.
So in other words Joe, and again I think Dershowitz proves my point that these people aren't far right.
His point is that identifying Nazis with the right requires you almost exclusively to focus on what happened in the past.
Because there are no Nazis in mainstream conservative politics.
I mean none, like zero.
It doesn't happen.
So you see what I'm saying Joe?
Sure.
But focusing on the left and their embracement of extremism and death and killing and destruction and tragedy, the left talks about this like this is a model for the future.
And you see the point?
Yeah.
So point number one, there is no limit to what the left can do because the iron triangle loves them.
Hollywood says death is okay.
Academia says death is okay.
And the media, death is okay.
By sanctioning communism, you're sanctioning murder.
There is no two ways about it.
That's if you believe in facts and data.
But there's no problem with that.
Because the culture wars, the left is winning.
This is all okay.
Point number two, so again, no ceiling on the left, but a ceiling on the quote right.
But again, point number two, the takeaway there is a critical one.
That the right, in order to associate the right with extreme politics, all you can do is focus on the past.
Because you have no evidence that this is happening now.
These are not mainstream conservative or republican figures.
These are fringe elements that claim republicanism.
Republicanism doesn't claim them.
Makes sense?
Yeah.
Conservatives don't claim these people.
They want nothing to do with Nazis and fascists at all.
We have all repeatedly disavowed these people and their nonsense.
David Duke, when he endorses you, is a death sentence, Joe.
The Ku Klux Klan savage from Louisiana.
When David Duke endorses you, it's a death sentence for you.
But when Bernie Sanders, a socialist, endorses you, you may win an election!
Explain to me again how the left isn't more dangerous than the right?
The left thinks death and destruction is a model for the future, while disingenuously associating the right with death and destruction in the past doesn't even work!
We've never claimed these people!
It's a really terrific piece.
I'll put it in the show notes.
I strongly encourage you to read it.
Hey folks, have you signed up for CRTV yet?
You know, I saw an article today in Paul Bedard's Washington Secrets, a really great newsletter.
I can't recommend enough.
And he was talking about, which shouldn't surprise you, Joe, at all, that this younger generation, millennials and the sort, they're cutting the cord on cable.
They're just not interested.
They're like, hey, no dice.
Sorry.
Do you blame them?
I mean, it's like, hey, I got 700 channels.
How many do you watch?
Uh, one.
Like seriously, in my house, I think I watch the Velocity channel, Fox News, and my wife likes HGTV.
Well, I like HGTV a little bit too, but don't tell anyone or it'll totally ruin my image.
But that's it.
I mean, if you offered me those three channels and said we're getting rid of anything else, I'd be like, okay, it sounds good.
And I will say local news did a great job during the hurricane.
So big shout out to WPBF, which I watch.
You got, and Mike Lyons over there, the meteorologist, who I don't think slept for like five days.
They did a really great job.
So big hat tip there.
But point is, people are cutting the cord.
What are they going to?
They're going to a la carte TV over the internet.
Ah!

Uh, just quick on 9-11.
You know, I was in Melville in the Long Island office when it went down, and what happened that day for us was just, um, it was really scary.
I mean, it was one of those things where you almost feel like you're living in, uh, like a movie.
Like, this can't possibly be real.
And I was sitting in the office that morning at the Secret Service office in Melville, and we were getting ready to serve an arrest warrant.
Have I ever told you this story, Joe?
Hmm.
And, um, it was on this guy, can't say his name, obviously, but it was a guy who was selling diamonds on eBay.
And we were going to serve an arrest warrant because he had no diamonds.
eBay was new back then, and scamming on eBay was pretty popular.
So they used to come to the Secret Service and the FBI, and we would go and lock them up.
So he was in a hotel, and we had found out through our homework that the guy had a hearing problem, a significant hearing problem.
So we were in the office that morning.
It was early because we were going to do an early morning hit.
And I remember thinking, you know, we have to knock and announce.
When you're a cop, you can't just kick a door in.
You have to knock and announce first.
But we, you know, he wasn't going to hear the knock.
His hearing problem was significant.
So it's not, I'm not making a joke out of this either.
This is, we really were having, there's a legal obligation to knock and announce.
So we said, well, what do we do?
And some guys said, well, we could slip a note under the door that says, you know, knock, knock.
I'm like, dude, you know, like, but then I said, you know what?
That's actually not a bad idea.
Slip a note under the door, police with a search warrant.
I mean, it was the best we could do.
And all of a sudden, a guy came running in and said, a bomb just went off in the World Trade Center.
This guy, Tommy.
And we were like, what?
What do you mean a bomb just went off?
And obviously, if they're 1993, having lived in New York through that, the bombing there, we thought, this is insane.
So we went in and we put on the news and nobody could figure out what's wrong.
Bottom line, as you know, the rest of the story, we saw the second plane come in later and realized we were under attack.
So we all went into the John F. Kennedy Secret Service office in JFK Airport.
And we watched from right across the water, the big smoke pile coming out of Manhattan.
And we started calling and calling and calling because we were missing 200 agents because the United Nations General Assembly was happening that day and all of the Secret Service agents were in town in New York protecting foreign digs.
And we didn't have cell phones back then so we only had pagers so we'd wait for the call back.
We had a list of 200 plus people.
And by midnight that night, we got down to two.
There were just two we couldn't find.
And one guy was this guy, Kevin, who I'm still friends with.
They used to call him the skunk, because he had a patch of white hair in the middle of his head.
Probably not the best nickname, but he didn't seem to care.
And I thought he was dead.
I mean, he was a good friend of mine, and he was in Nigeria, it turned out, on an investigative assignment, and he called back.
And I thought, oh gosh, thank God he's alive.
And then one last guy I never called back, and that was Craig Miller, who was a master special officer, who was a military, an army medic, paramedic, and it was thought that he was helping people in the plaza, and it's thought that either a person or an object in one of the buildings came down on him.
So I just want to leave the show by giving a special shout out to the family of Craig Miller for his heroic sacrifice, his unbelievable patriotism, his service to the country, And just a quick remembrance on 9-11 for him.
So thank you for everything he did.
God bless America and all who defend her.
I'll see you all tomorrow.
