In this episode, I address the exploding impeachment garbage brewing on Capitol Hill, in conjunction with the liberal media. I expose the troubling secrets their hiding in what’s obviously a pre-planned attack on the President.
News Picks:
Did they change the intelligence community rules to target Trump?
Explosive new information indicates the rules were gutted so the “whistleblower” could lodge a complaint.
Now, the tyrannical Democrats are demanding more phone call transcripts from the President. When will it end?
These three article show what the real foreign collusion scandal is:
The UK:
Russia:
Ukraine:
President Trump must protect the presidency.
Joe Biden team panics and demands Rudy Guiliani be taken off the air.
Another myth debunked regarding the “lockdown” of the Trump/Ukraine transcript.

We have a stacked show for you today.
By the way, my wife wants me to tell you a big thank you to everyone who showed up at our book signings.
They were incredible.
We had such an overflowing crowd in Barnes & Noble.

I don't want to get choked up.
Okay, quick.
Today's show brought to you by our buddies at BCM.
Ladies and gentlemen, are you in the market for a rifle or a pistol?
If you are not looking at Bravo Company Manufacturing, you're making a huge mistake.
These are the finest rifles out there.
Ladies and gentlemen, BCM.
Short for Bravo Company Manufacturing.
They do not, listen, this is not a sporting arms company.
I can't say this enough.
I love this company.
I love having them on board.
It's not.
If you're looking for a sporting arms, a sporting rifle, that's great.
Those have, I love those, but that's not this company.
What does this company make?
They make life saving equipment.
Bravo Company Manufacturing manufactures their rifles, their hand assembled right here in Heartland, Wisconsin, the great old USA, by people who understand that that rifle could end up In the hands of a police officer, one of our military professionals, or a civilian who, God forbid, might have to use that piece of life-saving equipment in a situation to save the life of themselves and their family.
That's the standard they build their rifles for.
They are not kidding around.
They put people before their products because they feel it's their moral imperative.
For that piece of equipment, that rifle or pistol to function properly and with precision, God forbid it's not a paper target anymore.
Bravo Company Manufacturing, the finest rifles and pistols out there.
I have two, I love them.
These are, I mean, you fire these things, it is just an amazing piece of equipment built to precision life-saving standards.
I can't recommend them highly enough.

Best rifles out there, in my opinion.
BravoCompanyMFG.com.
All right, moving on, Joe.
Let's go to Stock Joe.
Ding, ding, ding.
Super stoked.
Ladies and gentlemen, this was a pre-planned hit.
It is now becoming obvious.
Now, because I don't like to just say things and throw random factoids out there like liberals and make stuff up, when I say a pre-planned hit, I mean the entire story they're telling you was based on a blueprint.
Kind of like the blueprint I write about in my book Exonerated, where I talk about the blueprint for the collusion hoax, right?
There is evidence now stacking up, Joe, that... So let's just compare these two stories first.
Maybe that'll make more sense.
Story number one that the liberal media and the Democrat hacks are telling you, which is false, is that this whistleblower in the intelligence community, we now hear allegations it's a CIA officer who detailed the White House, heard from someone who heard from someone that President Trump made this devious promise to the Ukrainian government about trying to get You know, dirt on Joe Biden in exchange for military aid.
That was the story, okay?
And it was so troubling, Joe.
So troubling that this had to be very troubling.
He needs to be impeached.
And Adam Schiff, Joe, just heard about this last week.
They just heard about it.
And it came up and everybody, it rocked DC.
I watched that dopey show.
Forgive me, but I put it on for 10 minutes.
It was the dumbest show.
The Circus on Showtime, where these imbecile politicians run around like they're in an action movie.
So, taking themselves, it's so stupid.
I mean, it's such an embarrassment.
I used to see this in the Secret Service all the time.
Listen, yours stinks like everyone else.
Nobody cares.
Stop with your self-important nonsense.
And in the show they go, D.C.
They're always so dramatic.
It's so funny.
Give me a trucker any day of the week who actually works in real America.
They're not dramatic at all.
They get it.
They work for a living.
It's like, calm down.
Calm down, everybody.
So there's this one line in this goofy show, The Circus.
With this report it goes, the town you arrived back in in D.C.
is a different town than you left.
Oh, man.
Bite me.
You know.
Whatever, dude.
Whatever.
Everybody take it easy.
Dial the temperature down when you're nice.
So dramatic.
They think they're in an action movie, right?
Turn off the Mission Impossible, you know?
Seriously.
Everybody calm down.
This was a pre-planned hit.
Now, before we get to that, what are they covering up?
I know I covered this a little bit last week, but it's important.
I addressed it on Fox this morning and it's going nuclear on foxnews.com.
I'll have the link in the website on my normal Fox and Friends hit on Monday morning.
Ladies and gentlemen, they are covering up a few things.
Number one, so why was this a pre-planned hit?
Why did the Democrats and their liberal media activists, remember none of this happened last week, why did they have this plan?
Because there is devastating information coming out in the Inspector General report about the Obama administration and Biden and their involvement with foreign governments.
We're gonna talk about three right now, and I actually, for your viewing pleasure, put these three articles in the show notes today so you can keep them up on your phone.
Just got a new iPhone, by the way, nice, this weekend, got the 11.
Had to, my other phone broke.
I'm gonna give you these three articles, and I'm gonna show you, because the Democrats are telling you this is such a scandal, collusion with the foreign governments.
When you pull up these three articles, I bet you'll get them to change your mind quickly.
Let's Let's go to article number one.
Ken Vogel, Politico.
Again, this will be in the show notes today.
Ken Vogel and David Stern, January 11, 2017.
Oh, oh!
Oh, let's read this title.
Ukraine efforts to sabotage Trump backfire.
Kiev officials are scrambling to make amends with the president-elect after quietly working to boost Clinton.
Huh.
Who to do?
Sometimes I just stay quiet to let Joe randomly interject the sound effect.
Ho de do, what the heck?
Ho de do!
Hold the door, man.
Well, howdy-hoo!
I thought, wait, I thought you, one, they, okay, so their version of the scandal, Trump was colluding with the Ukrainians to get political dirt.
That's not what that title says, folks!
That's not what the title of that article says!
The title of that article by left-wing bull-tico, politico, left-wing rag, is about the Ukrainians intervening in our election to attack Donald Trump and help Clinton!
Not Dan Bongino!
It's not bongino.com!
That's politico!
Now, in one of the greatest Media hits, this is short, but oh, is this worth your time?
I've seen it a long time.
Marc Short, who is a friend, who I love, goes on MSNBC with the absolutely, Joe, hapless Katie Tour, who I'm telling you, outside of Brian Stelter, nobody gets wrecked.
R-E-K-T.
More on their own show than Katie Tour.
I'm not kidding.
I don't know Katie, I'm sure she's a wonderful person, but I don't care.
She's a horror show.
She gets wrecked on her show on a near daily basis because she is so incredibly ignorant of what she just doesn't, I don't know if she doesn't read the stories before she goes on the air.
So here's Marc Short on the show with Katie Tour and this Ken Vogel political piece I just showed you about what they're really hiding, the Ukrainian collusion with the Obama administration and Biden's.
That comes up and watch Katie Taur get just completely on that.
This is just bad.
Check this out.
He talked about investigating Ukrainian meddling in the 2016 election, which has been documented that they meddled in the 2016 election.
A DNC operative met in the Ukrainian embassy.
That's Russian propaganda, Mark.
That's Russian propaganda.
No, it's actually in Politico, as reported by Ken Vogel, who works for the New York Times now.
More clutter, I wanna- *cough*
*giggle* *snort*
Jeez Louise!
*gasp* Oh ho, there it is!
*laugh* (coughing)
Good angle.
[laughter]
Side shot.
Beautiful, baby.
Listen, I'm trying not to overdo the thug life glasses, but I gotta tell you, if there was ever a time, Mark, please, you know, I know people around you watch the show.
I know you may have seen it once in a while.
Please get yourself a pair of these for your next appearance on Katie's show.
If there was ever a time for you to just sit back, just real slow-mo, that was it.
That's Russian propaganda.
Katie, she is... I'm telling you I could do a highlight reel of just Katie Torpese where she gets wrecked on her own show.
But I don't have the time.
That's Russian propaganda.
Actually, it's Politico.
And he produces the piece right there, like a hard copy.
Nice job.
By the way, Katie, you need a Band-Aid for that?
Paula didn't see me get this before the show.
Here you go.
These are the waterproof Nexcares.
Very good.
They're not a sponsor, but they're very good.
These are the Nexcares.
They seal out wounds.
Do you need a Band-Aid for that one?
Here you go.
We've got one.
Come pick it up down in Palm City, Florida.
We'll deliver the Nexcare Band-Aid.
Okay, moving on.
Here is another example of foreign collusion by the Obama administration, Biden administration, that again, they're hiding.
Check out this, uh, was it CNN?
What did we have first, CNN or Daily Caller?
It doesn't matter.
Put either one up.
Here we go.
Daily Caller, Chuck Ross, who's done a phenomenal job on this.
Christopher Steele identified Russian dossier sources notes reveal.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
You just told us the president, who by the way, has the constitutional authority to engage in foreign negotiations and foreign diplomacy.
I mean, I know the left doesn't actually read the constitution.
Yeah, so now we know that not only did Obama-Biden, not only did they collude with the Ukrainians and the Clinton team, but now we know they also used Russian sources.
That's old news, we don't need to spend a lot of time on that.
I just figured I'd put that article in the show notes today for you to remind your leftist friends about the real collusion scandal they're hiding.
Finally, the last one which I've spoken about but we haven't shown on the screen in a while.
Here is the infamous Jim Sciutto article from CNN.
Jim Sciutto, Pamela Brown, and Eric Bradner.
Joe, April 14, 2017.
British intelligence passed Trump associates communications with Russians on to U.S.
counterparts.
Wait!
Time out!
Penalty!
Laundry!
Laundry!
Laundry on the field!
I thought you told us foreign collusion to influence an election was a big deal!
What about the British attack?
That's CNN!
So I gave you CNN and Politico and then I threw in Chuck Ross's article in there in the Daily Caller to show you that mostly left-wing outside of the Daily Caller outlets have already reported on this stuff.
Now that you under... Remember, the headline of the show here, we're talking about this, was a pre-planned hit.
So you're saying, okay, Dan, I'm waiting for the... I'm getting to that.
I have to set this up.
What's the evidence you have that this did not just randomly appear last week?
What are they covering first?
Evidence that's been dwelling there in the past, that's going to come out in the IG report about extensive spying on a political candidate, now President Donald Trump, done in conjunction with foreign governments.
Wait, I thought that's what they said Trump did.
No!
Okay, moving on.
Talked about this a little last week, but in light here is a piece of evidence again that Adam Schiff knew this in advance.
Now, to be clear, before I put his tweet up, and wait till I get to the video.
Folks, don't go anywhere.
Wait till I get to the video afterwards.
This is gonna bake your bagels of Pelosi.
The left's story is that they just heard this, Joe.
It was so urgent a week or two ago.
Yeah.
They just heard it.
So urgent.
Yeah.
This wasn't planned.
So we're in, what's today's date?
September 30th?
Yes, sir.
So right around mid-September, Joe, the Democrats and the media just got wind of this devastating, urgent complaint.
Yeah.
Okay, well, let's check out this Adam Schiff tweet that sounds suspiciously like what's in the complaint.
Of course, by Natasha Bertrand, this well-noted conspiracy theorist.
I know I talk about it, but the video won't make sense without this.
Adam Schiff!
Trump is withholding vital military aid to Ukraine while his personal lawyer seeks help from the Ukrainian government to investigate his political opponent.
It doesn't take a stable genius to see the magnitude of this conflict, or how destructive it is to our national security.
Wow!
Yeah.
August 28, 2019.
Shocker!
How is this?
How is Adam Schiff reporting on this, Joe, if he didn't hear about this for another two weeks?
Are we in an Avengers movie?
Is Ant-Man, has he figured out the quantum zone?
Are we going back and forth now?
Is the Pym particle involved?
Is Adam Schiff a superhero who's transporting himself?
How on August 28th does Adam Schiff find out about a complaint he told us he hasn't seen till September?
August, September.
September, August.
August, September.
Joe, I would ask you to be the audience on BuzzFeed, but I'm short on time, and this is such pure, unadulterated idiocy.
Obviously, Adam Schiff knew something in advance.
Well, you may say, okay, maybe he was just guessing.
Really?
Listen to this Amazing!
Freudian slip by our good pal, and by I mean good pal, I mean worse pal, Nancy Pelosi on 60 Minutes, who I'm shocked, by the way, didn't pick this up and edit it out, you know, 60 Minutes, a propaganda arm of the Democrat Party.
How they didn't edit this out is really incredible.
Listen to how she ends this.
Nancy Pelosi, she's like, she starts talking about the phone call with the alleged promise between Trump and Ukraine was made.
Listen to what she says at the end of this.
This is just pure gold.
Check this out.
Early last week, details of the President's phone call filtered out in the press.
As some at the Capitol called for impeachment, Mr. Trump phoned Speaker Pelosi to reassure her about the call with Zelensky.
He told you about the phone call?
He told me it was perfect.
There was nothing in the call.
But I knew what was in the call.
I mean, it was in the public domain.
How did you know it's a Nicole?
It's in the public domain!
Yes.
It was?
Because it was just released.
Yes!
Guys, listen.
There is little doubt in my mind.
Do you notice it, by the way?
You may say, oh, well, maybe she just saw it afterwards.
Did you?
Listen, I spent 12 years of my life interviewing bad guys.
Did you notice the way she catches herself right away?
Well, I already knew it was in a call.
I mean, it was in the public domain.
Folks, they are... You may say, okay, Dan, that's kind of thin gruel.
You got a tweet.
Adam Schiff could have guessed.
Pelosi slipped, but no one knows.
Maybe she just, you know, it's Nancy being Nancy or whatever.
You know, one of those, you got to pass the bill before you find out what's in it moments, right?
Okay.
I've got more.
Don't you worry.
I never, ever, unlike leftists, leave you on thin ground here.
Okay.
Hold on.
I do have to take a quick break for a sponsor, but don't go anywhere.
Because we have yet to even touch the most devastating piece of information yet, that this was a pre-planned pit.
And big hat tip again, Stephen McIntyre, Sean Davis, and others have to give appropriate credit to excellent investigators who've done amazing.
Wait till I show you this stuff.
Don't go anywhere.
All right.

Alright, moving on.
Accumulating more evidence that this was a pre-planned hit, and that's a mysterious whistleblower call that just came out of thin air.
They are hiding their own collusion, it's obvious.
The Biden team, Joe, is now in a panic to keep Rudy Giuliani off the air.
Why?
Think about it.
Let's think this through.
I'm going to put up this article in a second here, this Hollywood Reporter piece.
But the Democrats are telling us on one hand, and the media, it's the same thing.
Because I follow Twitter, and I can't tell you what, I don't want them to block me.
I follow very specific accounts to see what the focus group Democrats are feeding to the media for them to put out, because you know, they do propaganda.
And the line last week was, Giuliani is destroying Trump's credibility.
And you know, of course the goofy, spineless, jellyfish, loser, hack rhino Republicans who have no guts.
They're worse than Democrats.
At least Democrats tell you what they want.
You know, the Republicans are like, they're just really awful.
They've horrible RIDOs who were selling out Trump already.
Giuliani needs to stay off the air.
Why?
Why is he lying?
Everything he's saying about Biden has come true.
So, on one hand, the Democrats this week said, Giuliani's doing terrible damage to Trump.
Joe, why do you think they would say that?
Maybe because they're doing, let me throw this out to tell you if this makes, tell me if this makes sense, right?
Okay.
Audience on Buzzman hat.
You got it.
Maybe they're doing the little, what I would call growing up, the old dipsy-do-flipper-oo.
Remember the dipsy-do-flipper-oo?
Yeah.
When you were like dating a girl and she wasn't into you, so you pretended you weren't into her and then she's into you all of a sudden?
I used to call that the dipsy-do-flipper-oo.
What the Democrats are doing is a... not dating dipsy-do.
They're doing a political, tactical dipsy-do.
Thinking if they tell Trump through the media how horrible Giuliani's been that Giuliani will stay off the air knowing Giuliani's doing what, Joe?
Actual damage to the Democrat Party.
Real damage.
How do I know that?
Because apparently Joe Biden didn't get the memo or his team that Giuliani's an asset to the Democrats.
He's been so terrible.
Really?
Check this out.
Hollywood Reporter.
Joe Biden's campaign asked TV networks to stop booking Rudy Giuliani.
Wait, hold on.
More laundry.
Laundry under the hood again for review.
We're reviewing the play.
At first, the call on the field was, Giuliani's great for the Democrats, terrible for Trump.
We review the play, ladies and gentlemen, the call on the field has been overturned.
It is now official, Giuliani is doing significant damage to the Democrats and the Biden story.
Why else would Biden want networks to stop booking this guy?
Because he's filleting them, and to the hack, spineless... This is why I do this show, folks.
I'm not kidding.
I'm a conservative.
I'm a Republican only because I like to vote in primaries.
I'm tired of the Republicans.
They've done nothing.
They've spent us into an abyss.
They've become almost a complete, total joke.
I'm sorry, not all of them.
There are a lot of good people out there.
But unfortunately, a large swath of Republicans are really Democrats, but no Democrats are really Republicans.
And for the ones selling Trump out, keep Rudy Giuliani off the air.
Shut your pie hole.
You guys and ladies are useless out there.
Giuliani's actually the one fighting the fight.
While you guys sit in the background waiting to see where the political tea leaves organize themselves so you can jump down Trump's throat at a moment's notice to be fake virtue signalers.
Go back into the ocean with your fellow jellyfish.
You belong there.
You're a disgrace.
I'm on to you.
I'm on to all of you.
I've seen your routine.
Paula, I'm not even kidding.
People come up to me all the time and they say, the book signings are, hey, I wish you'd won that seat for Congress.
Not me!
Not me!
I'm not kidding.
Paula, how often do we say this?
Thank God.
I mean this.
I'm not using his name in vain.
Thank you, Lord, for helping me find my real path and keeping me away from that pit of vipers.
Snakes.
Keep Giuliani off the air.
Get back on the air right now.
He's killing them out there.
Again, showing you that the Democrats are afraid of something.
Now, back to this pre-planned hit.
A blockbuster, blockbuster piece.
This has been highlighted by Fox & Friends and elsewhere.
Sean Davis, the Federalist.
Just spectacular work.
Listen to this unbelievable story.
Up at the show notes today, please, please read the show notes.
I have all the foreign collusion articles for the left there too.
Headline, Sean Davis, Intel community secretly gutted the requirement of first-hand whistleblower knowledge.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hold on, we're doing live.
There's laundry all over today.
It's a mess.
This is a legal procedure.
This is a 35-yard penalty.
I'm just making up the penalties now.
35 yards.
Wait, what?
So, we know that the alleged whistleblower, really a deep state spy working with the deep state to attack Donald Trump in a soft coup, what's going on right now.
Joe reported to us last week that this Intel guy was so disturbed by Trump's phone call, he had to report it.
But we heard this interesting angle that he didn't even hear the phone call, Joe.
Wow, that's interesting.
So he was disturbed by the phone call with the Ukrainians, he didn't even hear.
Well, how did he find out what was said on the phone call?
If he didn't hear Donald Trump's call with the Ukrainian about the devastating promise and the political dirt on Biden, Well, where did he get it from?
Well, he claims he got it from White House officials.
Of course, anonymous and unnamed.
Isn't that always cute how that happens?
Well, Joe, there's an interesting little issue with these IC whistleblower complaints that you can't make the complaint if you're not the one who actually makes the complaint and heard about it.
Yeah, you would think.
Now, let's walk through why that would be.
Well, anybody could then say anything, and then attribute it to anonymous people and ruin someone's career.
Right.
I thought you had something more profound to say.
No, I just said hearsay.
That's all.
Oh.
I'm just messing with you, Dan.
Quite all right.
The audience gets very offended when they think I'm not poking fun at Joe.
Don't get offended, folks.
No, please.
I didn't hear what he said.
Dan, please don't get offended.
We are good friends, I promise you.
It's like a back and forth.
Yes, it's hearsay.
The reason hearsay is not admissible in court is because if the person who heard it does not think it was serious enough to make an allegation or to make a criminal complaint or a whistleblower complaint, why would someone who heard it from someone who heard it be more serious?
There it is.
Folks, is this hard to understand?
I'm not talking down to my audience, I promise you.
I'm talking to the liberals who are listening while a conservative has this on in their shop.
If the initial person who heard it was so disturbed by it, why didn't they make a complaint?
Why anonymously tell someone else, who may have told someone else, who told someone else, what is that meme I see?
Joe, the whistleblower, this is the funniest meme I've ever heard.
The whistleblower complaint was from REO Speedwagon.
Oh yeah!
They heard it from a friend who... Heard it from a friend who... Remember that?
Yeah!
See, I need Joe to sing because Joe's a better singer than me.
That's a bit of meme going around.
So the guy, the REO Speedwagon guys, the whistleblower.
Of course I'm joking.
That's a great one though, right?
I saw that.
I love memes.
We meme better than a lot.
So the guy who heard it, what woman didn't think it was a big deal?
Obviously.
So, setting this up again, how this was a pre-planned hit.
You can't make a whistleblower complaint through those ICIG guidelines unless you heard it.
Oh, but there was a mysterious change recently.
Oh, there's a butt coming!
There's a butt!
Here we go again.
Sean Davis from, yes, amazing how this happened.
So convenient the timing.
Excellent reporting here.
Quote from the Federalist piece by Sean Davis.
Between May 2018, I say Sean Davis's name because I really don't ever want to be accused of not attributing fine work to the right author.
Between May of 2018 and August of 2019, the intelligence community, Joe, secretly eliminated a requirement that whistleblowers provide direct first-hand knowledge of alleged wrongdoing.
Oh my gosh, isn't the timing here special?
It goes on.
This raises questions about the intelligence community's behavior regarding the August submission of a whistleblower complaint against President Trump.
The new complaint document no longer requires potential whistleblowers who wish to have their concerns expedited to Congress to have direct, first-hand knowledge of the alleged wrongdoing that they are reporting.
I think it was, and forgive me, because Sean wrote about it, I know Stephen McIntyre, he's at Climate Audit on Twitter, picked it up too.
Wonderful, wonderful work.
Yeah.
Awesome.
So.
Yeah.
It was a pre-planned hit.
Schiff knew about it?
Pelosi?
Oh, I already knew it wasn't true.
I mean, kind of, sort of, maybe knew.
Now we have evidence that the requirement that the person who makes the complaint actually heard the call?
No, no, no.
Mysteriously changed to now you can hear it, as Joe just said, by hearsay from someone who heard it from a friend.
Next thing you know, it's going to be like triple quadruple hearsay.
I heard it in the pot bellies across the street from the White House while ordering like a carved out double meat turkey, which I used to get pickles with pickles and mustard.
Ah, yes.
Yeah, they heard it in there.
And now we should impeach Trump over it.
Now, Davis has another.
Here's the actual change.
Again, in case you liberals think we're making this up, how convenient the timing from Davis's piece.
You'll see on the top here, I'm not going to read the whole thing, but there's a requirement.
It says, first-hand information required.
In order to be deemed credible, a must-be-in-possession quote of reliable first-hand information.
The piece says, well, here's the revised disclosure of urgent concern form, Joe, following the August 2019 revision.
This is great.
I know about the information I am disclosing here and, box check, I have direct and personal knowledge.
Okay, great.
Oh, there's a new box, Joe.
Here's the box right below it.
I heard about it from others.
I heard it from a friend who... It's the REO Speedwagon.
That's what that should be called.
The REO Speedwagon footnote.
They just changed it.
They just changed it.
No, folks, don't worry.
It's all a big coinkydink.
Schiff knows about it in advance.
Pelosi slips on 60 minutes.
They just changed the whistleblower guidelines to the REO Speedwagon condition.
It's all one big coinkydink.
Nothing to see here, folks.
Jeez.
What's that Pepto commercial?
Don't you worry!
It's- I- I- The verdict is in.
This is colossal bull- Oh, I got more!
Are you flushing a toilet bowl in the background?
What is that?
Is that you opening your mic out there?
It sounds like it's a toilet.
If it is, it was the greatest sound effect that sounded like that by you.
Yeah.
Tidy bowl man?
I don't know.
Hey!
I don't, I gotta have, I really, it's been a bit of a series.
So I don't mean to be a buzzkill cause you and I have a lot of fun, but yeah, go ahead, man.
You know, I did Fox this morning and uh, I said something, I mean, I mean folks that, The Republic's dying.
I mean, it's dying.
It's literally dying a slow death.
And, you know, I always say literally is literally the most overused word, but I mean that.
I'm not speaking figuratively.
We now have an unquestioned deep state coup by insiders who pre-planned another blueprint-like hit, just like the collusion hoax, using the exact same model to take out a president elected by you.
We are dying here.
Our legal system's been thrown in limbo.
We have judges acting like politicians, national injunctions against the Trump administration.
We have Democrats whose sole purpose is to overturn an election, won't pass anything.
USMCA aren't interested even remotely about the economy, nothing.
We have warning signs ahead.
We're spending ourselves into the abyss.
You know, I gotta have, I gotta smile a little bit or we'll all be, we'll all just be, it's just exposing these people.
Let me tell you something, so I leave you with a bit of an op, before I go on, optimistic note.
We need to re-elect this man.
Because I think with five more years, and potentially a Pence or Trump Jr.
term after that, I think we can make a real dent and turn this thing around.
I don't want to be too macabre.
I believe we are a country blessed by God, but ladies and gentlemen, gosh, we are in bad shape.
And I'm telling you, if I don't add some sarcasm to this thing, we are all going to, we're going to be miserable.
And that's not what I want.
Yeah.
All right.
I've got more.
So you may say, wow, you laid out some pretty solid evidence.
Oh no, I'm not even done.
No, no, I'm not done yet.
Last sponsor of the day, and we are going to rock and roll with some more tactical battlefield nukes that are gonna light this thing up.
Okay, finally, today's show brought to you by our buddies at MyPatriotSupply.
Ladies and gentlemen, When an emergency strikes, what's your first impulse?
You go to the grocery store, right?
What would you do?
Ask yourself this.
I have.
I live in a hurricane zone.
What would you do if the supply chain was broken up and the grocery store shelves were barren?
Seriously, how long could you survive on the food in your food closet?
I won't call it a pantry.
I hate that term.
I just can't stand it.
The answer is probably a week, maybe.
What do they say?
We're only four missed meals away from chaos?

Okay.
Now, I knew they were going to do this too.
So this guy, Bibi, who I had never heard of before, but I'm starting to really find interesting on Twitter.
Twitter's the greatest place for information.
If you're not on, I know it's run by liberals, but ladies and gentlemen, we're taking Twitter over, whether they know it or not.
They can't ban all of us.
And we, this is where the information gets out.
You just have to know where to look.
And I was recommended to this guy by someone else.
So again, more evidence that this was a pre-planned tactical hit on Trump.
We have Schiff, we have Pelosi, we now have Sean Davis' evidence about the changes to the whistleblower guidelines.
There was another update made recently.
Here's a tweet from this guy.
I think he's at Vote Bebe.
Yes, Matt Bebe.
His Twitter handle's at Vote Bebe.
He tweets, you're not gonna believe this, this is like, unfathomable.
He says, incredibly, it gets worse.
So just to preface this, keep that up there, he's talking about not just where the whistleblower guidelines changed, there was another change.
He says on December 23rd, four days ago, that's when he tweeted this on the 27th, just four days before he tweeted it, Joe, and before the complaint was released, the whistleblower complaint, The Congressional Research Service made another extensive update to their publication on the intelligence community whistleblower protections, and he provides all the links for you to compare.
Wait, wait, wait.
So there's another quickie update.
So right before the first-hand knowledge requirement is dumped, right before the complaint is made, that suggestion, that change is made.
There are more?
They can't be this stupid creating this paper show.
No, they just don't care because they know media hacks will say rug right underneath the rug.
What was this?
This is a little more nuanced but fascinating nonetheless.
Put up that photo with all these bullet points.
Here is the revised one.
I don't want to put them back and forth, but there are these just four days before.
So what is it?
Seven days ago now.
The intelligence community changes.
I'm not going to read through this whole thing, but I'll tell you what you need to pay attention to here.
They changed the guidelines, Joe, for what?
An urgent concern reporting mechanism was.
Okay.
And they added all of these additional bullets on specifically how this information could be shared with Congress because it was light before.
And one of the things they added were these bullets you'll see up on the screen now where it gives them a bunch of, uh, here, in other words, here's what they do.
Let me explain this in simple terms.
Just leave that up for a second.
In very simple terms, The urgent concern means that if someone in the IC, intelligence community, right, uncovers information so detrimental to the country, and it meets X, Y, and Z conditions, that that would be classified as an urgent concern, and that complaint has to be transmitted to Congress within seven days.
That makes sense, folks, I get it.
This category of concern, these specific complaints, they must go to Congress.
Now, what's the problem?
I'll bet you the Democrats, in conjunction with their Deep State buddies, and hat-tip BB for seeing this, said to themselves, well, there's a problem with this Urgent Concern Guideline.
It doesn't include the POTUS!
President of the United States!
Folks, the Urgent Concern Guidelines concern former or current intelligence officials.
president. So what do they do? They revise it to what I just showed you, if you put that back up
on the screen, and they add all these sub bullets, all these sub bullets, and they leave conveniently,
two of them, they leave footnotes out.
The matter requires the ICIG to submit a report to the DOJ on possible criminal conduct by a senior intelligence official, and it's the one- these two aren't footnoted at all!
Because in the footnote to the other ones, it says senior intelligence officials, that leaves out the president.
Folks, what's happening here?
I know this one is a little more complicated.
Very simply, They are laying out a revised new blueprint for Congress to pitch to their compliant media allies they know won't read the footnotes to say, look, this was an urgent concern.
We have these guidelines.
Folks, those bullet points were not in the edition just one week ago.
Do you believe this crap?
The edition that was put out just a week ago mentions urgent concern twice.
The one we have now?
Message urgent concern.
Ten times.
Sorry, I had another finger up there below the screen.
That was Joe Biden.
I was like this.
I was hiding my thumb.
You think I was Joe Biden for a minute.
Ten times.
In other words, Congressional Research Service, hey Congress, let's uh...
To clarify, let's lay out a few more bullets you can feed to your media friends about why this would be an urgent concern and why we need it from the president.
Don't read the footnotes that says this doesn't apply to the president.
We'll leave him out.
Nice job, baby.
Good work.
Ladies and gentlemen, this was a pre-planned hit.
You are living through a soft coup right now.
Isn't that cute?
Disgusting.
Tyrannies afoot.
Filth and deceit.
All around us.
Yes, sir.
Now, showing you this was based on the blueprint as I discussed and exonerated the book.
Sorry, Dickie, but again, joy.
I put a lot of work into it.
By the way, thank you.
We're still number five on Amazon, which is like killer.
You guys and ladies are awesome.
They're going through this.
In order now to keep the whistleblower, Joe, from any exposing of potential political motives, they're going right back to the model they used before with Stéphane Halper.
Who is Stéphane Halper?
Stéphane Halper, of course, was the spy who infiltrated the Trump campaign on behalf of deep staters in the U.S.
government to feed them information to spy on the Trump team.
Now, Joe, when Halper was outed by Chuck Ross at the Daily Caller, what did they say?
National Security, you're putting this guy in danger!
Don't dare ask any questions!
Shh!
Everybody quiet!
Now, I didn't think they would trot this one out again.
Sorry, Paul, I went a little bit out of orbit.
Let's look at this CBS News piece.
They're trotting the same BS out again!
Again!
CBS News, the impeachment inquiry.
We cannot ignore what the president did by Scott Pelley.
And you'll see a little bit right down from the headline, his piece, which is just, I mean, they are so predictable.
And these media sycophants put up their pieces.
It's just, here we go.
Tonight, 60 Minutes has obtained a letter that indicates the government whistleblower who set off the impeachment inquiry of President Trump is under federal protection because he or she fears for their safety.
Where'd they get that from?
I don't know.
I have no idea.
No idea.
You're right.
Joe, great question.
No idea.
Joe's the audience ombudsman.
None of us can figure it out.
We can't figure it out.
I don't know.
Joe, do me a favor.
After the show, I know you've got to do a lot of hard work with the audio file.
Yeah.
Put it down the audio file and go do some homework.
Where would they've gone?
I have no idea.
No idea where they fear for their... No idea, buddy.
No way.
Folks, it is the same template for the collusion hoax.
Leak info to the media, pre-planned hit in advance, change all the guidelines, manipulate the Woods procedure.
Yep.
Once you're outed, make sure you claim national security and then turn around and blame Trump for all of it.
Now, one last thing here.
Ah, dude.
I went a little bit out of order.
I had this, but this is important.
What did I tell you last week?
Why?
And listen, I'm not piling on.
I just think whoever gave President Trump this advice, it was awful.
I said, do not release the transcript.
Do not.
If you have nothing to hide, there is no reason to release it.
Not the other way around.
We don't work for the media.
The media, if you have nothing to hide, release the transcript.
No, no, that's not the way any of this works.
The president gets to conduct the... What's the famous line about diplomacy?
Two things are best done behind closed doors.
One, date night.
Second, diplomacy.
Well, they don't say date night.
They say something else, but I'm trying to keep it family-friendly.
You get the drill.
Oh yeah.
The president is under no obligation at all to disclose his foreign diplomacy to media people who are clueless Democrat propaganda hacks.
What did I say last week, Joe?
I said, Once he discloses his transcript.
Did I not say this?
I said they're gonna want all the transcripts now.
As if on cue, ladies and gentlemen, Reuters today be in the show notes.
What are they demanding now?
Now they want the Trump-Putin phone calls in U.S.
Democrat sites.
Adam Schiff's sleazeball demands.
Well, it added sleazeball in there.
Folks, you read that.
That's not actually in the title, but it's a necessary modifier.
It's a given.
It's a given.
It is a given.
You're right.
It's absolutely a given.
It's an honorific for Adam Schiff that he deserves.
What do they say down the piece?
They want not just the Russian phone calls, but they want transcripts of all of his phone calls with foreign leaders.
Folks, I... Good heavens.
I mean, listen, you're the White House.
You don't have to listen to me, obviously.
I'm just a guy out here trying to fight the good fight.
But I, not just me, I warned you this was gonna happen.
And now someone in the White House who's probably an establishment swamp rat, we gotta release that too!
Folks, the Republic is dying.
The President of the United States cannot even conduct foreign diplomacy.
You don't like, by the way, let me just put this out there.
You don't like his foreign diplomacy?
You are a citizen of the freest country on Earth.
Vote against him!
I'm not, I'm voting for him.
Do your thing!
I have no- You don't like it?
Fine.
We have an election coming up.
But this is outrageous.
I warned you this was gonna happen.
They are covering for the IG report.
Alright, one more myth on this I gotta debunk and I do have one positive story to report because I don't want to leave you in a horrible mood for Monday.
The other myth being propagated by the liberal hacks in the media and their Democrat focus group tested sycophantic allies.
That after Trump's phone call was, remember this is pre-planned, this whole thing, Joe, they were waiting for the Ukraine phone call?
Mhm.
Why?
Discussed this last week.
These deep state swamp rats that had pre-planned this hit, changed the guidelines, they were waiting for the Ukrainian election, knowing the president would call, knowing they have their own baggage with Ukraine, hoping he mentions Biden's name, and the pre-planned hit and the template and the whistleblower guidelines and the urgent concern stuff was all ready to go!
In conjunction with Adam Schiff.
Sleazeball.
Honorific.
But another Democrat attack line we're hearing is after the phone call.
It was so devastating, Joe.
Remember, they just found out about this two weeks ago.
Yeah, sure.
It was so devastating that they had to take the phone call and the transcript of it and put it in a different classified White House system because they were so afraid it was going to be discovered.
And Joe, importantly, this is unique to Trump.
He's the only one who's done this.
This is unprecedented.
Oh my.
Then we see this other piece of the Federalist, which kind of says something a little different by David Marcus, again in the show notes today.
Susan Rice!
Obama put call transcripts on top secret server, too!
Don't you worry!
Nothing to see here, folks!
Again, the Democrats and the media, as always, are telling you the truth.
This is unprecedented, putting it on this top secret server.
Didn't Obama do that, too?
Listen, do what you want.
Subscribe to Goofy Liberal Socialism Policy.
Just know you're being lied to.
You're just, you're being lied to.
You don't like the president's call?
Honestly, he probably could have worded a lot of that differently.
There was nothing treasonous.
There's nothing criminal.
Frankly, I think the president should be patted on the back for doing the job the media didn't do and investigating this foreign collusion in our last election.
Probably should have left Biden out of it and let the other ones handle that, but to investigate the collusion and all of these allegations swirling around you, good for you!
Vote against them if you want.
But what's going on right now is bull, and you know it.
This is a soft coup going on right now.
Alright, I want to leave you with kind of a good story.
It's been a heavy weekend, but that is a pretty well-rounded assessment of exactly what's going on.
I hope.
I hope you enjoy it.
Yeah, I like that.
So, yeah, it was a story in the Wall Street Journal on a good note.
Another thing the Democrats are not hiding, but they're running away from and they don't want to talk about.
...is the fact the economy's booming.
There's a great op-ed by Stephen Moore in the Wall Street Journal today, Trump's middle class economic progress.
A new study indicates median incomes are rising far faster than they did not just under Obama, Joe, but under Bush, too.
Check this out.
The Democrats, we've been told, you know, Trump is a war against the middle class.
Wrong.
That's not what the data show.
I know you guys don't do data, liberals, but you may want to try just once in a while.
Quote, From the more piece, the latest data from the Census Bureau tells a different story.
Real median household income, the amount earned by those in the very middle, hit $65,084 in 2019 dollars for the 12 months ending in July.
$84 in 2019 dollars for the 12 months ending in July.
That's the highest level ever, and a gain of $4,144,
or nearly 7% since Mr. Trump took office, 6.8 to be precise.
By comparison, during seven and a half years under Obama, starting from the recession through January 2017,
the median household income rose by only $1,000.
So let me get this straight.
Trump's been in office, what, three years now?
Median middle-class incomes are up $4,144.
Obama spent eight years in office.
And incomes only rose 1,000?
And he was the middle class warrior?
Yeah.
Now you see why the Democrats want to talk about anything but what's actually going on?
It's a disgrace, folks.
Again, thank you for everything.
I really appreciate this past week.
And thank you to everyone who showed up at the book signings.
We will have, for this October 4th book signing in the villages, we'll be stocked up.
We just did not, folks, I didn't expect I don't know.
I don't know how to say it without sounding goofy.
It's not like a humble brag.
I knew we had a nice audience that was really loyal, and you guys and ladies were awesome, but I didn't expect this turnout at these book signings.
They've been unbelievable.
So we will be stocked up.
My last one, again, in the villages.
And then premierecollectibles.com slash exonerated if you'd like to pick up a signed copy.
Again, they're not book plates.
I signed the books.
