| Dan Bongino. | |
| Welcome to the Bongino Brief. | |
| I'm Dan Bongino. | |
| Here's this piece by Tiana Lo at the Washington Examiner. | |
| Have you heard about the Dr. Jill Biden controversy? | |
| Here's a piece first. | |
| Headline, Tiana Lo, Washington Examiner. | |
| Meltdown over Dr. Jill Biden. | |
| A preview of media servility toward Biden. | |
| So just to be clear, there was an opinion piece written in the Wall Street Journal by Joseph Epstein. | |
| In the opinion piece, Epstein suggests that Joe Biden's wife, Jill Biden, being referred to as doctor is a little bit ridiculous because she has an education degree. | |
| Not my take, his take. | |
| Not knocking people with education degrees, I'm simply suggesting that Epstein's opinion is fair enough that the term doctor maybe shouldn't be so widely used. | |
| I think one of the running jokes about doctor, actually in the Washington Post, I might add. | |
| Weird, isn't it? | |
| I think you can actually check this out in a search engine. | |
| Basically, if you can't crack open my chest and prescribe me medicine, we're not going to use the title doctor. | |
| Okay, Washington Post. | |
| I didn't say Washington Post. | |
| That's not my thing. | |
| So just to be clear. | |
| The leftist take now is if you have a PhD or an education doctorate, whatever it is, you should be referred to as doctor. | |
| Now, someone else we all know has a PhD, not a medical doctor. | |
| Joe, you may have met this guy, Gorka, right? | |
| Doesn't Sebastian Gorka have a PhD? | |
| He does, right Gorka? | |
| Was that a Gorka voice? | |
| Gorka, who's a friend of mine, full disclosure. | |
| I'm Sebastian Gorka. | |
| I love his voice. | |
| I'm Sebastian Gorka. | |
| You guys got a great voice. | |
| Dr. Sebastian Gorka. | |
| I don't have a voice like that. | |
| I know him. | |
| He's a good friend of mine. | |
| Good man. | |
| He has a PhD too. | |
| So the liberal rules, rules always come with the air quotes. | |
| Are any PhD, if you don't dare refer to them as doctor. | |
| It is a grotesque. | |
| It's a grotesquity to make up a word. | |
| A grotesquity and a stain on humankind. | |
| Well, let's see how noted academic Samantha Bee. | |
| I'm just joking. | |
| She's a clown comedian, but the liberals love her. | |
| Let's watch this little mini clip of Samantha Bee absolutely melting down on her show when Gorka wanted to be referred to as Dr. Gorka. | |
| Check this out. | |
| Despite Gorka's insistence that everyone call him Doctor, which is the universal mark of a real, non-fraudulent, intellectual smart person, it turns out Dr. Gorka has published as many papers in peer-reviewed academic journals as Dr. McStuffins. | |
| Zero. | |
| Gorka, by the way, who has an IQ probably 40 to 50 points higher than Samantha Bee, subject of withering criticism from this idiot, who, just to be clear, our principal, everybody's laughing, too. | |
| The clapping seals in the audience, who probably none of them actually have PhDs, thinks it's hilarious that Sebastian Gorka would prefer the use of an honorific. | |
| I'm not into those, but whatever. | |
| He's a friend of mine. | |
| I respect him for it. | |

| So weird now that they're changing the rules again, just so we're clear again. | |
| Media, not-so-funny people in the media, the people they adore and the liberals. | |
| When it was Gorka and it was Dr. Ben Carson, which I'm going to get to in a second, an actual medical doctor. | |
| Movies have been made about his medical expertise, Ben Carson. | |
| A genius in every sense of the word. | |
| When it was them, don't dare use the term doctor. | |
| But Dr. Jill Biden, who has an education degree, don't you dare not refer to her as Dr. Jill Biden. | |
| I'll refer to people however I choose. | |
| You don't like it? | |
| I'm really sorry. | |
| You're gonna have to find a new show. | |
| I had a title once. | |
| It was Special Agent Daniel Bongino. | |
| That was my actual title. | |
| Sedan, as Paula remembers. | |
| One of these days I'll tell you that story. | |
| It's a great story. | |
| Who the hell sent, I gotta tell now, I'm sorry. | |
| I sent a fax to my wife once, she was working in the city, and I had on the thing, S.A., Special Agent Dan Bongino. | |
| Her friend pulls the fax off and goes, who's this guy Sadan? | |
| Sadan! | |
| It's not Sadan, Special Agent Dan Bongino. | |
| Like Saddam, they almost messed it up. | |
| I never once asked someone, sir, please call me agent. | |
| That was my time. | |
| Because I don't care. | |
| You want to do your thing? | |
| Do your thing. | |
| But liberals are phonies. | |
| Look at this from the Washington Examiner piece, the Tiana Lowe piece. | |
| So in 2015, R Street Institute scholar R.J. | |
| Lenman tackled the question of who gets the coveted designation of doctor in the pages of the New York Times. | |
| This was back when world-renowned neurosurgeon Ben Carson was notably snubbed. | |
| So just to be clear, the left who wants to refer to everybody as doctor now, because we don't call Dr. Jill Biden doctor, here's how they felt about an actual Dr. Ben Carson. | |
| Quote, this is the New York Times. | |
| Less head-to-head, we see that the Times blog refers to Dr. Jill Biden as doctor nearly half the time, 48%. | |
| While referring to Ben Carson as doctor just 8.9% of the time, Lehman wrote. | |
| She's called Mrs. Biden just 6.9% of the time, while he is called Mr. Carson 34% of the time. | |
| So just to be clear, Jill Biden, who's got a degree in education, is called doctor more often than Ben Carson, who is one of the prominent neurosurgeons in the history of humankind. | |
| Ladies and gentlemen, if your head is spinning right now, Reagan from The Exorcist style and the pea soups coming out next, because you don't understand, don't try to pin logic on liberals. | |
| They don't have any. | |
| They don't have any rules about Believe All Women. | |
| It's all made up. | |
| They don't believe anything. | |
| They don't have any rules about when to call people doctor. | |
| They weaponize the language daily and change the rules to attack conservatives. | |
| That is the only reason they do any of this. | |
| These are spineless buffoons with not a shred of character and don't ever forget it. | |
