So just how big is the George Soros circle of influence?
Uh, pretty big!
Pretty huge.
Why am I talking about George Soros again?
Because George Soros is back in the news.
If you open up your browser this morning and read Bongino Report, the Dan Bongino conservative alternative to Drudge Report, you'll see there were a couple stories about George Soros again.
I'm going to link Soros and the breaking news about Soros as it relates to exploding crime in this country and the Facebook decision.
Soros is involved in a whole lot of stuff.
And I want to talk about another bizarre connection with Soros I've been talking about all week.
And again, how it's related to the Giuliani thing.
I got that and I've got a revolt, a revolt brewing amongst parents.
Two videos must see.

Welcome to the Dan Bongino Show.
Let's get right to it.
As I said, the George Soros Circle of Influence is one of the most important stories That the mainstream media will not tell you.
And it's, by the way, it's verboten here.
The mainstream media will tell you, you're not allowed to talk about George Soros, to which I promptly give them the double-barreled middle finger because I don't care what you tell me to do.
Matter of fact, when you tell me not to do it, I just do it more solely to piss you off sometimes.

Just how big is the George Soros circle of influence?
Let's take a look at these stories now.
BonginoReport.com is my conservative alternative to the Drudge Report, which has gone far left.
But I don't aggregate all the stories.
I have an editor who does it.
So when I wake up and I go to BonginoReport.com, I check out the stories.
And I was going to do a segment this morning on the George Soros Circle of Influence and how that relates to the Giuliani thing.
And by chance, not kidding, I'm not messing with you.
These stories were sitting there too, showing you what an influence this man has had on politics in the United States and around the world.
Here's just a news story you can find at BonginoReport.com.
Or at my newsletter at Bongino.com slash newsletter.
It's a lot of Bonginos there.
Just the news.
Investigation finds massive wrongdoing by a prosecutor in the case of the ex-Missouri governor.
So, remember Kim Gardner?
Well, she is a George Soros-funded prosecutor.
She went after the former Republican governor, Eric Greitens, in Missouri, and now she's being accused of massive misconduct.
She's also the one who targeted the McCloskey family.
Remember the guy who came out of his house with a rifle to defend himself when he was under attack by some Black Lives Matter terrorists?
Remember that?
Well, those prosecutors, her, Kim Gardner and others, are largely being funded by George Soros.
Why would George Soros, a billionaire with global influence, be so interested in local prosecutor's races?
Very simply, because George Soros clearly wants people in office like Kim Gardner and the Chicago, what is it, the Chicago AG.
I forget what they're called.
They're called the City States Prosecutor, whatever her title is there.
He wants people in office who aren't going to prosecute crime because liberals love street chaos.
Very simple.
Here's the second Soros story.
Again, this is totally independent of the Soros segment I was going to do today.
I'm just trying to emphasize to you the influence this one man has had on politics in the United States and how destructive one person can be.
Here's another Washington Examiner story by Tory Richards.
Again, tied to George!
George E.S.
is back!
Facebook oversight board that upheld the Trump ban, mostly tied to George Soros!
What are the chances of that?
Here's a screenshot from the piece.
So 15 of the, apparently the 20 members of the Facebook Oversight Board that banned Trump again yesterday from, from a fake book, 15 of the 20 members have either worked for or in jobs funded by the Soros Foundation.
It's just hilarious.
They include Afia Asanto, I'm sorry, I'm going to say her name wrong.
I'm not doing it intentionally.
He's the program manager for Soros' Open Society Foundation.
Don't worry, he's on the Facebook Oversight Board, too.
Suzanne Nassau, CEO of PEN America, also partly funded by the Open Society.
Nassau also served on a Soros board.
So 15 of the 20 members of Facebook's Oversight Board.
That sounds very Star Chamber-y right there.
15 of the 20 members are connected to Soros, too.
It's really amazing how this guy Soros has his tentacles and everything.
Now, why does this matter?
Because the left right now, and by the left I don't just mean this amorphous group, I mean a very specific set of people.
Radical leftist activists, politicians, academics, media types, liberal media types, Hollywood people, and their elected politicians.
This group of people has a very specific goal right now.
They are desperate, this is not a conspiracy theory folks, Contrary to the left, it's a conspiracy theory!
They say that every single time we're onto something.
They are desperately trying to hide the George Soros influence, not just in the stuff we're talking about there, but in this targeting of Rudy Giuliani.
I know we've been talking about it for a few days, and I'll get to Arizona and other stuff too, but this is one of the most important stories of our time.
If this is allowed to continue, and the Soros stuff and his role in the 2016 election gets buried, forget it.
It's all over.
They must hide the Soros circle.
And there's a two-pronged attack to do it.
To hide Soros' influence in the 2016 election, and the influence now.
Number one, they gotta silence Giuliani.
Because Giuliani knows the whole story, and I would almost argue, more importantly, their two-pronged attack, they have to silence Giuliani and John Solomon, an investigative reporter.
I'm getting to the point, I think at today's show you'll understand why, where I think the reason they're targeting Giuliani isn't even so much about Giuliani, but it's about John Solomon, who Giuliani, they're alleging, worked with to get some of these stories out.
I'm serious, and it'll make sense why in a minute.
So this is how they hide the Soros leaks, the Soros connections.
Number one, silence Giuliani and Solomon.
Number two, just scream Russia again.
Dan, come on.
The stuff with Russia's already been debunked.
They're not bringing that back up again.
Ha!
Here's Exhibit A in the Scream Russia, part two of the two-pronged attack to hide the Soros circle.
Here's Philip Bump, one of the dumbest human beings in media.
Really, I mean it.
I don't mean that as a joke.
Like, really not an intelligent man at all.
At the Washington Post.
Time is only weak in the argument that the Russia probe was a victory for Trump.
Philip bump on a log, May 5th, 2021.
This is not an intelligent man at all.
He's clearly a tool for the left.
You have to scream Russia if you don't want what Giuliani and Salomon know getting out, right?
Scream Russia again and get the media distracted.
Philip Bump is one of these media people that all you have to say is, look, squirrel!
And they're like, what?
What?
What?
They're like dogs.
They run them.
So that's what Philip Bump does.
So, of course, this piece magically appears suggesting, hey, that Trump-Russia thing that's been debunked six different ways from Sunday, it's definitely back.
And this time, it's really real.
What does he bring up?
In this Washington Post piece.
Hilarious.
These are not fake laughs for a fact.
I really find this funny.
He needs to... So in this piece, you think he has new evidence?
Wait, wait, wait.
We thought that Trump colluded with Russia.
That was debunked, right?
That was just a fairy tale.
Mueller said so.
So, Philip Bump writes his piece.
You're expecting to see some new information, right?
You would think, right?
Common sense, right?
You would think you'd see there's some new source out there.
Trump's fingerprints are on a Russian bottle of vodka in a room with pee-pee hookers or whatever it may be.
No, no.
None of it.
Philip Bump litigates the same old fairy tales we heard in the past because they need to reintroduce the Russia stuff to stop Giuliani and Solomon from talking.
And what better to do it than a toolbox like Philip Bump?
So here's screenshot number one from his piece.
Here we go with the Konstantin Kalimnik stuff again.
I can't believe this.
This will tie in later in the show too.
Remember the name?
Konstantin Kilimnik.
So here's Filip Up trying to say the Russia hoax is real again.
He says, for example, in early February 2019, a member of Mueller's team argued to a federal judge that an August 2016 meeting between Paul Manafort, then Trump's campaign manager, and a man named Konstantin Kilimnik, here we go again, went, quote, very much to the heart of what the special counsel's office is investigating.
That is the question of possible coordination.
In the final Mueller report, though, the investigators admitted that they couldn't answer key questions about that meeting.
Here we go again.
Philip Bump relitigating the, this guy Paul Manafort met with this Russian agent, Konstantin Kilimnik.
Meanwhile, he admits at the end that they really can't find anything nefarious about it at all.
But I'll just say it again because I'm Philip Bump and I can't think for myself.
So there's a, he relitigates Kilimnik.
I'll get to that in a second.
And he brings up what we talked about yesterday.
If you want to watch yesterday's show, you can.
I'm not going to go into this again.
He brings up this stupid argument again about the Office of Legal Counsel and how Bob Mueller allegedly would have prosecuted Trump for obstruction of justice, but didn't because of this memo.
It's total garbage.
You can see it here at the Washington Post.
Bump says, this week we saw another development that spoke to the way Bill Barr gave Trump a pass.
And he talks about the FOIA and the OLC stuff.
I talked about it yesterday.
I'm not going to go into it again.
It's already been debunked.
The reason they didn't prosecute Trump for obstruction of justice, Mueller, folks, is because they didn't have any evidence!
Mueller's already admitted to that!
I played the tapes yesterday, nothing to do with the OLC memo!
Just listen to the tapes!
Bump's not smart enough to figure that out.
So, just quickly, regarding again their second prong of how they hide this stuff, the Scream Russia stuff again, that's why this stuff's coming out again, here for the umpteenth thousandth time, Let's go back to prong one.
They have to silence Giuliani and Salomon first.
And what did I say to you?
I think Salomon may be the bigger target.
Why?
Because Salomon knows the Konstantin Kilimnik thing is total garbage.
Here's an article by John Salomon.
Crazy.
Key figure that Mueller report linked to Russia was a State Department intel source.
So just to be clear again, Philip Bump's assertion that, hey, Paul Manafort met with this Russian agent, Konstantin Kalimnik.
You mean the same Russian agent who was the source for the Obama State Department?
Whoa!
You better do a cleansing at the Obama State Department!
And who uncovered this?
John Solomon.
Read this right here from the piece.
In a key finding of the Mueller report, Ukrainian businessman Konstantin Kalimnik, who worked for Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, is tied to Russian intelligence.
But hundreds of pages of government documents, which special counsel Robert Mueller possessed since 2018, described Kalymnik as, quote, a sensitive intelligence source for the U.S.
State Department, who informed on Ukrainian and Russian matters.
So just to be clear, because Philip Bump is not that bright, If Konstantin Kilimnik is a dangerous Russian spy, then why was he a source for Barack Obama and Joe Biden's State Department?
I'm just asking questions here.
Just asking questions.
Because I told you, they're trying to hide the George Soros circle and his influence circle, and you gotta do two things.
Silence John Solomon and Giuliani and scream Russia.
Here we go again, Washington Examiner.
Here we're back with the rush.
Scream Russia again!
Again, story B in my show notes.
Newsletter, check it out.
Alleged second steel dossier on Trump emerges in British media as John Dorham closes in.
Dan Chaitlin, Deputy News Editor, Washington Examiner, May 5th, 2021.
Folks, I'm really serious.
For a moment here, please, I know Some of you love the Spygate stuff.
Some of you like the new stuff.
I'm going to get to more of that later.
That's fine.
I'm trying to keep everybody happy, but I cannot, in strong enough terms, emphasize to you how important it is that you understand what's going on right now.
That Philip Bump at the Washington Post, the New York Times, and at a second dossier are surfacing right now is not a coincidence.
I promise you on my reputation, on my right arm, I will mail it to you in the mail.
Saw it off with a chainsaw.
If I'm wrong on this, the Russia stuff is resurfacing now.
Trump's out of office.
No one's heard about it for a year.
The media wanted it to go away after they found that it was all a hoax.
It's coming back now and Giuliani's being targeted now because the information Giuliani had, Durham probably has, I don't know what he's going to do with it, but Giuliani and Solomon were putting the whole thing together and it was about to get really ugly for them.
And that's why this stuff is all coming out again now.
Now, they have to, remember prong one, they have to silence Giuliani and John Solomon.
So what better way to do it than to investigate them and serve search warrants?
That'll work great.
Now, how is this connected to Soros?
The show is called the George Soros Circle, not the John Solomon Circle.
I'm going to walk this through here.
Give me about 15 minutes to walk through this.
I promise this is gonna leave you scratching your head, like, how isn't this the biggest story right now in the media?
Let me just get to my second sponsor.
I know it's quick.
I always appreciate your patience to get to number two, but these are good companies, wanna talk to you, and I want some time to go through this here.

Okay, how is this all connected to Soros?
The fact that they want to silence Rudy and John Solomon from talking about it and keeping the George Soros links all quiet.
Always!
Well, let's go back yesterday to a segment from my book, Follow the Money.
Thank you all who picked it.
I told you the first chapter of the book explains all this, and it's footnoted.
Many of you went to buy it yesterday.
I think we hit something like 1,000, 2,000 copies sold yesterday, which is insane considering the book's been out forever.
But yeah, my book, Follow the Money, covers all of this stuff.
Here's a little excerpt.
So there's a group in Ukraine where Rudy Giuliani and John Solomon had shown an interest in some of the corruption the Obama administration and Biden administration had in Ukraine.
There's a group in Ukraine, this group ANTAC, which I've been mentioning now for three days.
Keep this in a, tattoo this on your brain, which was run by a woman named Daria Kalaniuk.
This group ANTAC was funded by George Soros' groups, right?
So here's an excerpt from my book where I get into this.
It says, ANTAC is run by Daria Kalaniuk, an American educated lawyer.
She has been, as you might expect, an outspoken defender of her organization.
She talks about all the funding here, you can see this, I read this yesterday, and it talks about how the big funders for ANTAC, this group ANTAC, are the U.S.
government, there it is right there, number one, and George Soros' organizations.
They fund this group in Ukraine.
This group in Ukraine, ANTAC, run by Daria Kalaniuk, was on this do-not-prosecute list.
The U.S.
Embassy did not want them looking in, the Ukrainian authorities, into this group, ANTAC.
Why we were injecting ourselves into a Ukrainian local law enforcement matter?
Maybe because it was a George Soros-funded group and the Obama administration didn't want the Ukrainians looking into that?
Who knows?
Weird, right?
So now we know who Daria Kalaniuk is.
We know how she's connected to Soros.
She runs this group, Ant AC.
Ant AC is funded by Soros.
You guys and ladies remember the Black Ledger out of Ukraine?
Ant AC, remember, operated in Ukraine.
I'll get a load of this.
The Black Ledger.
Let me give you a little background.
I'm going to get this New York Times story.
I promise this will all make sense.
The Black Ledger was this shady looking spreadsheet that appeared seemingly out of nowhere, was given to the FBI.
And the Black Ledger showed alleged payments to Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager, that were cash payments off the record.
It was like an off-the-books kind of transaction.
This wound up making its way, this Black Ledger, into the FBI's hands and it was used by the FBI to investigate Paul Manafort.
There was a big problem with the Black Ledger, however.
Before we get to the problem, and by the way, who uncovered the problem with the Black Ledger?
Who do you think uncovered the problem with the Black Ledger?
Who do you think?
Because they're targeting him.
Oh, John Solomon!
Yes!
Weird, right?
How now John Solomon's a target?
Crazy.
Let's go to the New York Times for a little background on the Black Ledger that was used to prosecute Paul Manafort.
Here's an article by Andrew Kramer, Mike McIntyre, and Barry Mayer.
New York Times from 2016.
Secret ledger in Ukraine lists cash for Donald Trump's campaign chief.
Oh my gosh!
Donald Trump's campaign chief.
This is crazy pills time.
Donald Trump's campaign chief was being paid in cash by the Ukrainians?
This is really, really bad stuff.
That sounds bad, doesn't it?
Let's go to screenshot number one.
So who produced the black ledger?
Where did this come from?
Black ledger given to the FBI showing these suspicious, surreptitious payments to Trump's campaign manager in cash from Ukraine?
Who produced it?
Keep in mind, folks, it's from the New York Times.
For the leftists ready to scream, it's a conspiracy theory!
Tell it to the New York Times then.
So here's who produced the back ledger.
Quote, "The accounting records" - we're talking about the ledger - "surfaced this year when
Serhiy Leshenko" - remember that name - "a member of parliament who said he had received
a partial copy from a source he did not identify, published line items covering six months of
outlays in 2012, totaling $66 million."
In an interview, Mr. Leshenko said another source had provided the entire multi-year black ledger to Viktor Trepak, a former deputy director of the Domestic Intelligence Agency of Ukraine, the SBU, who passed it on to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau.
Houses connected to Soros and Daria Kalaniuk, Kalaniuk who worked for a Soros-funded group in Ukraine, Black Ledger emanates from Ukraine, produced by a guy named Sergei Lashchenko.
Who immediately jumps to Sergei Lashchenko's defense about the Black Ledger that John Solomon, Rudy Giuliani's buddy, was investigating?
John was like, I'm not so sure this Black Ledger you're using to investigate Manafort is real.
Who immediately jumps to the defense of Sergei Lashchenko, who produced the Black Ledger?
Let's just go back to the New York Times.
Here's a quote.
It's a very vivid example of how political parties are financed in Ukraine.
Said Darya Enkaladyuk, the executive director of the Anti-Corruption Action Center in Kyiv.
It represents the very dirty cash economy in Ukraine.
So let's just tie that portion up there for a minute.
Again, maybe Philip Bump will do some homework from the Washington Post.
I'm sure the New York Times will be digging into this story.
So Daria Kalaniuk, who runs AntAC, this group in Ukraine, where there's a whole bunch of suspicious Obama-Biden activity going on.
You can watch yesterday's show for all the deets on that.
Kalaniuk runs this Suros-funded group.
Mysteriously, out of Ukraine appears this Black Ledger alleging Trump's campaign guy was getting off-the-record payments totaling millions of dollars.
The FBI uses it to go after Manafort and prosecute Manafort, the Black Ledger.
Turns out we find out later the Black Ledger's fake.
I'll get to that in a second.
But who immediately jumps to defend the guy?
George Soros' old buddy, Daria Kalaniuk from Ant AC, who jumps right in to defend the Black Ledger.
It shows how the dirty money works in Ukraine.
So who exposed the black ledger that Kalaniuk seemed to defend
and this guy Leshenko in Ukraine produced?
Who exposed it?
And what exactly the scandal?
Folks, I don't think you understand how important the black ledger was.
All you've heard about, many of you, is the dossier.
Remember the dossier used to prosecute Trump?
I would make the case to you that the dossier, the black ledger, was just as important as the dossier for setting up the fake Russia hoax.
And who agrees with me?
Who exposed the black ledger?
Our man John Solomon at The Hill.
Make sense now why the FBI is reintroducing the Russia hoax stuff going after Solomon and Giuliani?
I think they're really afraid John Durham knows this and this is all gonna come out.
Here's an article by The Hill I encourage you to check out again.
John Solomon from 2019.
The FBI was warned early and often that the Manafort file, the ledger, might be fake.
But they used it anyway.
Dan, are you suggesting to me that the FBI prosecuted Paul Manafort based on a fake document?
That's exactly what I'm suggesting to you.
It's all in my book.
Laid Out.
Laid Out.
Here, from the John Solomon piece.
In search warrant affidavits, the FBI portrayed the Black Ledger as one reason it resurrected a criminal case against Manafort that was dropped in 2014 and needed search warrants in 2017 for bank records to prove he worked for the Russia-backed Party of Regions in Ukraine.
There's just one problem.
The FBI's public reliance on the ledger came months after the feds were warned repeatedly that the document couldn't be trusted and likely was a fake, according to documents and more than a dozen interviews with knowledgeable sources.
It was a fake!
But Soros' gal, Daria Kalania, doesn't appear to think it's a fake.
She's backing the guy up who produced it.
Soros' group.
You know, in Ukraine, that appeared on a do-not-prosecute list from our embassy?
You better leave them alone.
The Obama-Biden embassy over there?
In Ukraine, don't you prosecute Soros' group?
So the FBI knew it was a fake, and they went and investigated anyway.
Now, this is where the story gets crazy.
Remember my book, Follow the Money?
They all know each other.
Sorry to keep mentioning the book.
I promise I'm not trying to sell you something.
Go to a library and get it.
Really.
It's not about the money.
Don't follow the money to me.
It is about the principle.
It's all in there.
These people all know each other.
They were all connected.
Follow the money trail.
Not only was the FBI warned that the black ledger they used to prosecute Manafort was a fake, someone else told them it was a fake too.
Whose reputation that, of course, needs to be destroyed.
Pay very close attention to this screenshot here from John Solomon's piece.
Quote.
Likewise, Manafort's Ukrainian business partner, Konstantin Kalimnik, A regular informer for the State Department told the U.S.
government almost immediately after the New York Times wrote about the ledger in August of 2016 that the document was probably a fake.
It goes on.
Manifort, quote, could not have possibly taken large amounts of cash across three borders.
It was always a different arrangement.
Payments were made in wire transfers to his companies, which is not a violation.
Kalimnick wrote in an email to a senior U.S.
official on August 22nd, 2016.
This stuff is too good.
So again, Ukrainian politician produces his black ledger.
Soros's gal says, yeah, yeah, yeah, backs it up.
This is real.
This is evidence here, we're good, right?
Soros's gal backs it up.
Kalaniuk, right?
A source for the Obama State Department, Konstantin Kalimnik, says, no, no, that's not real, that black ledger.
You guys are using bogus documents to prosecute Manafort.
And then Kalimnik, who's a source for the Obama State Department, after he says that, gets accused of being a Russian agent dealing with Paul Manafort.
And you suckers on the left fell for this!
That's hilarious!
How dopey you are to have fell for this.
Kalimnick was beloved by the Obama administration.
He was a source!
You see the paperwork!
The Obama State Department used Kalimnick!
They love them!
And yet the minute Kalimnick tells John Solomon, hey, that stuff the FBI's using to prosecute Trump's campaign manager, Manafort, that black ledger's fake, all of a sudden Kalimnick's a dangerous Russian agent.
Really, really odd coincidence, isn't it?
Isn't that strange?
Of course not.
Philip Bump and others are just total suckers.
I agree with some of the comments.
They're not really suckers.
They're in on the whole thing.
I mean, what's the other argument?
You're either really dumb, and you missed all of this, or two, you're not really dumb, which I don't think you are.
You know it, and you just choose to ignore it to cover up for your homies there.
Now, how important was the black ledger that Kalimnick debunked?
And that George Soros' gal backed up?
Well, let's go to quick screenshot number three from the Solomon piece.
That's why Solomon has to go away, folks.
Quote, three months later, the FBI went further in arguing probable cause for a search warrant for Manafort's bank records, citing a specific news article about the Black Ledger as evidence Manafort was paid to perform U.S.
lobbying work for the Ukrainians.
Wow, that's the exact same charge you're trying to get Giuliani on, isn't it?
And we're supposed to all believe them.
That's what they just said, serving the search warrant with Giuliani.
He was paid to do lobbying work for the Ukrainians.
That's really... I mean, what a mind-bender that they tried the same thing on Manafort, except the documents they used to charge Manafort with the exact same crime, air quotes, were fake.
Are the documents they're using to try and charge Giuliani real?
I doubt it!
I have zero, absolutely zero faith in these people.
Believe me, this story gets even better.
So, Serhiy Leshenko, who is a Ukrainian lawmaker, who passed the fake Black Ledger, or is alleged to have passed the fake Black Ledger, to people in the FBI.
The FBI then uses the fake documents to prosecute Manafort.
Leshenko's got an interesting history, too.
Sorry, I just don't want to run over my table here.
Leshenko's got a fascinating history, too, exposed by the great Chuck Ross, The Daily Caller.
Remember Nellie Orr, wife of Bruce Orr, higher up in the Obama Justice Department?
It's really convenient that Bruce Orr's wife, Nellie Orr, worked for Fusion GPS, that put together the fake dossier on Trump, the correlate to the Black Ledger.
Here's Nellie Orr!
Nellie Orr said in testimony that her source for all the information she was putting together, that Fusion put together into the dossier and elsewhere, her source was a Ukrainian lawmaker!
Who was that Ukrainian lawmaker who she claims was her source?
Leshenko denies it, but Nellie Orr said this on the road.
She says her source was Sergei Leshenko.
The same guy Daria Kalani-Aksoros' gal backed up when he produced the fake Black Ledger.
This is like a spy novel for idiots.
If your IQ is about an 87, this would be a spy novel you'd write.
The problem is, you can't make this stuff up because if you did make it up, if you made this up and put it in a book, you would be like, this is a really stupid spy story because all these people sound like idiots.
They didn't cover their tracks at all.
So the same Ukrainian lawmaker who produced a fake document on Manafort is alleged to have been working with a company connected to the U.S.
Justice Department through Nelly Orr that produced another fake document called the Dossier.
Why didn't they cover their tracks?
The answer is they didn't think they needed to.
They thought Hillary Clinton was going to win in 2016 and this would all go away.
That's why it's a spy story for idiots.
If you wrote this story, it was all fake.
People would read and go, these are real morons who ran this case.
What a bunch of dopes!
It gets better.
I got another interesting angle for this.
Let me get to my, uh, my third sponsor here today.
Brickhouse Nutrition, ladies and gentlemen, here it is.
This stuff is gold.
I gave Guy some of this, swears by it.
He says it tastes great too.
Not kidding, had this conversation before the show, not messing with you.
Brickhouse Nutrition, they have exciting news to share.
Field of Greens is now available in lemon lime.
Is this the lemon lime?
Yeah, it is.
This is brand new.
I usually show you the one I already drank.

You all know that.
You're all super smart.
But why don't we do it?
They're hard to prepare.
You gotta go shopping for them.
Some of us aren't good cooks like me.
I'm terrible.
My wife's a great cook, which is awesome.
But this is different.
Notice the back of the label.
It says nutrition facts.
You're like, okay, so what?
You know what it doesn't say?
Supplement facts.
Because this is not a supplement.
This is real, healthy fruits and vegetables ground up into a powder.
Unlike other nutritional drinks, which rely on only one vegetable, Field of Greens is packed with 18 clinically researched essential fruits and vegetables, plus green tea, ginger, turmeric, and beets.
How do you get this stuff?
I take it twice a day.

He may be running out.
All right, getting back to Kalaniak.
Just to go back to the beginning, I told you they're trying to cover these people in the media, the deep state, sloppy state, whatever the hell you want to call it.
They're trying to cover up the massive scandal that went on in Ukraine where George Soros and George Soros Fund's groups are all at the center with the Obama administration.
And this Daria Kalaniuk, who ran this group, Antac, funded by Soros, was on a do-not-prosecute list, but then wanted Soros' political opponents and business opponents prosecuted.
Dmitry Firtash, you can listen to that on, I think it was Monday's show.
They're at the center of it all.
Kalaniuk's group, she's at the center of all this.
The Russia hoax, the impeachment hoax.
She backed up the guy who produced the Black Ledger.
The Black Ledger guy was working with Fusion GPS, allegedly.
Fusion GPS produces the dossier.
These people all know each other.
Here's another excerpt from my book I covered yesterday.
It's important.
It's about he who shall not be named.
The whistleblower.
Remember the whistleblower?
The fake whistleblower for the impeachment hoax?
I heard Donald Trump on a phone call.
No, you didn't.
You didn't hear anything.
This is from my book.
It's important because it relates to another story I'm going to show you in a minute.
It says what's also true, and this is important, that according to White House logs, there's Daria Kalaniuk again visited the White House in December of 2015.
While there, she met with the whistleblower, who was a CIA employee working on the National Security Council.
She got meetings in the White House too.
How did Kalaniuk, how did Daria Kalaniuk, I worked at the White House, how the hell did Daria Kalaniuk, running a George Soros funded group in Ukraine, get into the White House?
And what was she doing meeting with the whistleblower who made up the fake charge against Donald Trump about him and the quid pro quo with Ukrainians?
What was going on there?
Want to see how they're all tied together?
You ready for this one?
So Kalaniuk meets with the whistleblower.
He who shall not be named.
Check out this older article by Carrie Pickett and Jerry Dunleavy.
By the way, to Carrie Pickett, if you're watching my show, she texted me something a while ago.
She has great reporting.
I have like a really bad thing on my phone.
You got to call me, reach out.
Don't text me.
Cause I think I put your number accidentally on like a block list.
I promise I didn't do it intentionally.
I mass deleted emails.
They asked me if I want to block.
It's the most bizarre thing.
I opened up an iPad.
I had these texts from Kerry Pickett.
I didn't see him on my phone, but she's great.
She wrote this article to Washington.
Like where'd that come from?
GOP Congressman Louie Gohmert asked former Ukraine minister about the whistleblower.
Why does this story matter?
Louie Gohmert, who's a real pelotas buster, let's say.
I mean that in a good way.
He doesn't accept no for an answer.
Good GOP congressman.
Louie Gohmert was at a hearing a while ago and was talking to this woman who had a connection to the whole Ukraine debacle.
And Louie Gohmert started asking questions.
Hey, did you know about this stuff that was going on in Ukraine?
The Democrats went wild.
They started screaming, Ethica Spassi!
Because that's all they have, because they're so terrified of the Soros connection in Ukraine coming to fruition.
So what did Louis Gohmert talk about that drove them so crazy?
Gohmert cited an April 2016 meeting at this restaurant close to the White House between the whistleblower, another White House official, and a Ukrainian parliamentarian, Olga Bilkova.
A Foreign Agents Registration Act filing shows that the meeting was arranged by Doug Schoen, a longtime Hillary Clinton ally and registered foreign lobbyist for Ukrainian billionaire Viktor Pinchuk.
Donated heavy to the Clintons, by the way.
That same day, Doug Schoen arranged for Bilkova to meet with David Kramer, you know, John McCain's guy, who flew to Britain to meet with Christopher Steele, author of the dossier.
Awfully strange, huh?
That Kalani Aksoros' guy over in Ukraine's meeting with the same whistleblower, who's meeting with other Ukrainian parliamentarians, who then are meeting with David Cramer, McCain's guy, and all promoting the same Trump fairy tales.
Really strange how they all know each other.
Isn't that awfully odd?
How that always seems to happen?
What's our last one today?
I never write in a second, but headspace.
There you go.
Don't want to forget that.
Don't you think that's a little strange folks?
That's why I titled again, my book, follow the money.
Let me just wrap this up for a moment.
I'm going to get to some other stuff too.
It's important, Arizona and what's going on with these school boards.
Rudy Giuliani and John Solomon know about all of this.
And it's awfully strange that the same BS charges that were lobbed against Paul Manafort Using the fake Black Ledger.
He's lobbying for Ukraine.
Did you notice that's the exact same charge being lobbed at Rudy Giuliani right now?
Why?
Because Giuliani was the only one with Solomon who had the guts to expose this story of key Ukrainians in the Ukrainian government colluding with Soros' group to push fake fairy tales about Donald Trump through the whistleblower, through Fusion GPS, and through the Black Ledger.
They all know each other.
All of them.
All right, moving on.
So, um, you know, I know we've had a lot of bad news over the last few months.
I, again, I don't, I don't ever want to run from that.
I see it.
I read your emails.
People are, I think they're starting to come around a little bit.
People are ready to, you know, to get up off the mat, dust off and get back in the fight.
I understand.
Believe me.
I understand.
I get it.
I've run for office myself, proudly.
Didn't win.
Proud to have done it.
I don't run from it at all.
I mean, I love when liberals say, you ran for office and lost.
I'm like, really?
You didn't have the guts to do any of that.
So what are you doing?
You sat in the ring and screamed from the sidelines throwing popcorn.
I'm proud to have done it.
But losing stinks.
I know.
Believe me, I've been there.
It's horrible.
I mean, in the 2020 election, given what happened with all the election changes, people are obviously ticked off.
A lot of people feel like, losing, that's all BS.
I get it.
I get why you're upset.
But we are going to have to fight.
We can't learn to be helpless, like Seligman's experiments.
We can't do that.
So here's some good news.
People have had enough.
Especially parents who are getting awfully tired of sending kindergartners to school with a face diaper on their face that does absolutely nothing to prevent those kids from contacting or contracting this coronavirus.
They're tired of it.
And it goes back to my beach ball hypothesis.
That the longer you try to push the beach ball underwater, your arms eventually get tired and the beach ball eventually explodes through the surface.
You can't keep people under lockdown forever.
You can't.
You want to wear a mask, do your thing.
Really, I have no problem.
I'm a freedom lover, unlike liberals.
If you choose to wear a mask, the deuce, the double mask, the trifecta, the three masks, go ahead.
Knock yourself out.
Have a good time.
I actually believe in freedom.
But demanding kids with very little evidence that this infection spreads among you wear these masks all day in school, which interrupts their breathing patterns.
You saw that woman pass out at that track meet wearing a mask while running a race.
How ridiculous is that?
It's insane.
And parents have had enough.
You doubt me?
Let's play video number one.
Here is an absolute revolt.
You may have seen this in Arizona at a school board meeting.
This was about, I don't know, two weeks ago.
The school board meeting.
The parents had had enough.
They vote out the whole school board.
The school board resigns en masse and they swear in a new school board right away who are done with this whole mask mandate with kids.
Check this video out.
Our radio listeners, you can listen in the background.
This is really good.
Check this out.
fight if they don't quit we're hearing they've all quit are you are not
okay so i need to see it seconded okay
all right you know folks one of the
one of the guys i've been reading one of the office of you probably heard
jordan peterson I like a lot of his work.
Don't agree with everything, but I like a lot of Jordan Peterson.
He's been through a lot of personal struggles.
And Jordan Peterson talks about this thing, and I don't think he's talking about politics, but I am.
He mentions this concept of, you know, if you really want to change the world, we have to make our own beds first.
I've argued to you repeatedly that the do matters, action matters, doing matters.
Talk is cheap.
It's great.
Talk is great because it motivates the do.
But if you hear talk and you give speeches and you don't do stuff, nothing else is going to have the do matter.
You have to do something.
That something doesn't have to be one fell swoop, change the world tomorrow.
To change the world, we should make our own beds first.
I take that to mean, he doesn't get very political, but I do.
You want to fix this?
We got to start working on our own towns first and then expand out.
These people in Arizona had enough.
All school board out.
Goodbye.
See you later.
New one sworn in right away.
Say, Dan, all right.
Good news, but it only happened there.
Did it?
Here's a situation from Utah.
I think it happened last night or the night before.
They had another school board meeting in Utah.
Well, they wanted to diaper face up the kids, too.
Parents have had about enough of that one.
Here's what happened in Utah after that one.
Check this out.
All right, we're actually going to close.
You haven't signed up, ma'am.
We're going to close.
You let a senator come up here and speak in the name of my children who you guys are abusing?
Are you serious?
[inaudible]
We've had our citizen participation.
We're going to follow.
We've had that.
[inaudible]
Splendor!
I move that we adjourn this meeting.
I move that!
I move that!
It begins.
But it always begins locally.
Sometimes we gotta make our own beds first in our own room.
It's happening.
I don't want you to wake up every morning depressed that the world is gonna burn.
Listen, it may.
It may.
Things are bad.
But it may not.
And there's a pretty good chance it may not.
And it may not because people are making their own beds in their own room and cleaning up their towns.
Well, that's not it.
There's another one.
You may have missed this story in South Lake, Texas.
This is from a couple weeks ago.
New York Post.
Opponents of critical race theory.
I'm just going to start calling it critical racism theory because it's racist.
Opponents of critical racism theory win Texas school board election.
This is from South Lake, Texas.
Where they booted every one of these critical racism theory supporters out and voted in new people.
That promote equality.
Judging people by their character.
Things we used to all believe in.
Folks, there are good things happening.
And the best way to get good things to happen is to make our own beds locally first.
Doesn't mean we can't fight the national stuff.
I just covered a big huge international issue with George Soros.
We can keep the heat on.
But with people like Ron DeSantis and this growing crop of young leaders now being energized and marshaled together to fight this common cause against coronavirus-induced tyranny, critical racism theory, we're energizing another generation of leaders right now that's going to make for a solid bench for the conservative movement in the future.
All right, let me get to my last sponsor on the other side of this.
I got an Arizona election audit update for you.
Interesting.
They are still freaking out about this.
And we've got our Ron DeSantis strikes again segment.
Guy is putting together a little graphic for us because there's so much Ron DeSantis good news.
We need a special graphic.
He didn't ask us to do it, DeSantis.
Guy took the initiative on himself.
I'm a big believer in initiative.
He's all about the initiative, honestly.
He's like, I think we need a Ronda, or Desnadas as we call them after CPAC spelled the same way.
Desnadas strikes again.
Our final sponsor.
These are my guys.
If people keep telling you like they tell me, seriously, try meditation.
And you're like, when?
How?
What's the time for that?
I've got the solution for you.

So an Arizona audit update.
Folks, they are freaking out in Arizona, the Democrats, over this audit of the 2020 election.
Why?
Again, why are you freaking out?
If you have nothing to worry about and you believe everything was on the up and up, then wouldn't you want a nice, solid, well-done audit of everything that happened?
Even better, right?
They don't want any of this.
Nothing.
They are in such a panic about this audit.
Again, What do you freak out about the most?
That tells me what you're trying to hide.
Just like they're freaking out about Giuliani, they're freaking out about the Arizona audit.
Here's their Democratic Secretary of State.
Not Democrat, Democrats.
There's nothing Democratic about it.
Arizona Secretary of State unveils a list of concerns about Maricopa County 2020 election audit.
Listen to this.
So now that they've tried suing, they've tried the media, and they've tried everything else to stop this audit, where do they go to now?
Check out this screenshot.
Hobbs, who's the Secretary of State, who's a Democrat, is going to discuss the audit with the Biden Justice Department Civil Rights Division today, Thursday.
It later emerged that the DOJ, excuse me, Civil Rights Division wrote a letter to Fan on Tuesday also raising concerns about the audit and asking for a response on steps being taken to ensure that federal laws are not being violated.
Folks, if you're not worried about the results of the audit, then why are you worried about the results of the audit?
Fair question, right?
Why are they freaking out?
I don't have that answer yet.
Because I don't have the results of the audit.
Neither do you.
It's not done yet.
But why are they panicking so much?
Why are they so worried about what an independent group is doing to audit the results of the election?
If it was all fair and square, what's the problem?
We're just asking questions, right?
Liberals hate when you do that, by the way.
They've written articles about how we shouldn't be asking questions anymore because they don't in the media.
They just regurgitate left-wing talking like, George Soros, a great guy.
Rudy Giuliani, bad.
Rudy smells.
We don't like Rudy.
That's the extent of media coverage today.
But it's a serious question.
I don't have the results.
Maybe the results come back and they determine everything in Arizona was legit.
Okay, great.
No one wants an election result that's not accurate.
Nobody.
Why would you want that?
But that they're panicking and freaking out and now begging the Biden Justice Department to step in should tell you something's rotten in the state of Denmark!
All right, let's wrap the show up today with our friend Ron DeSantis again.
DeSantis strikes again.
This is a section of the show we're not only going to call DeSantis Strikes Again, we're going to call Pelotas for reasons our Spanish speakers in the audience can probably figure out.
I love this guy.
The reason the left hates this guy is because he simply will not back down.
Matter of fact, the more they try to squeeze DeSantis into doing things they want, You know, taking away more of your money, screwing up the schools, enacting a tyrannical police state.
When DeSantis doesn't do that and does the whole freedom thing, the left really hates it.
So they push even harder.
They hate Ron DeSantis.
Why?
Because he's just done with their BS.
He signed another bill this morning cleaning up the elections.
I asked the legislature in this legislative session, we need to do bonuses for law enforcement.
maniac, radical, lunatic leftist, the chaos machine left to defund the police.
DeSantis did this yesterday in response to defunding the police.
Check this out.
I asked the legislature in this legislative session, we need to do bonuses for law enforcement.
Some want to defund the police.
We're funding the police, and then some.
DeSantis wants to give bonuses to patriotic, heroic law enforcement folks who put themselves between you and the line of fire every day.
Good for him.
Maybe it'll attract a lot of the best cops to Florida where we're getting the best talent, the best people, a whole bunch of money, construction everywhere.
The state's economy is exploding and it's getting more conservative over time.
I just ask you one favor.
If you are liberal, if you are liberal, let me say this a third time, because I get hate mail sometimes from conservatives who don't hear what I'm saying.
I'm not talking to you.
If you're a conservative, you can tune this out.
If you are a liberal, again, if you are a liberal in a Northern state or a liberal state, again, if you are a liberal, Please do not move down here.
Please.
I'm begging you.
If you're a conservative from New York, come on down.
We love you.
That's why the state's turning more conservative.
Conservatives from New York, a lot of them are moving down here.
Believe me, I live in Martin County.
I see it.
If you are a liberal from New York, Illinois, California, please don't come here.
I can't tell you what to do.
It's a free country.
I'm asking you for a personal favor.
You hate me.
I see it on Twitter.
You send me the death threats and the nasty grims.
Why would you want to live near people like me?
They're all like me.
Don't come down here.
Please stay out.
I'm asking you a personal favor.
You obviously hate my guts.
Why would you want to live near me or others like me?
Please, please stay up in New York.
Conservatives in New York, come on down.
We'd love to see you.
All right, folks, thanks again for tuning in.
Big launch of the radio show coming in.
What are we?

It's right around the corner.
Call your local radio stations, please.
Email them.
Tweet them.
