=== Liberals, Media Misinformation, Natural Disasters (03:07) ===

[00:00:00]  Dan Bongino.
[00:00:02]  Welcome to the Bongino Brief.
[00:00:03]  I'm Dan Bongino.
[00:00:05]  So, you know, all week we've been covering this because it's important and it explains the bridge in this country between this new, growing, festering anti-liberty movement on the left and the pro-liberty patriotic movement on the right.
[00:00:16]  And we keep saying to each other, well, why don't we understand each other?
[00:00:19]  Well, we don't understand each other because us on the right, the liberty lovers, understand the real world to a greater degree than the left does.
[00:00:26]  I'm sorry, folks, but that's just a fact.
[00:00:28]  The numbers back it up.
[00:00:30]  Earlier in the week, I'm not going to repeat them, but we discussed how the left is the day to just ask them.
[00:00:36]  A lot of people on the left probably think the Rittenhouse victims, the people who are the victims of the shooting and Rittenhouse Wells, a victim of an attack.
[00:00:44]  There are multiple victims in this, right?
[00:00:46]  How these folks, most people think they were black.
[00:00:50]  The shooting, the people who were shot, they were not in fact black.
[00:00:53]  Everyone was white.
[00:00:54]  We talked about the coronavirus death and hospitalization rate.
[00:00:57]  How liberals consistently get that wrong.
[00:00:59]  They think it's ridiculously high when it's not.
[00:01:01]  We talked about police shootings.
[00:01:03]  How roughly half of liberals think that a thousand or more unarmed black men are shot per year by cops.
[00:01:09]  It's not even close.
[00:01:10]  The number's not even a hundred.
[00:01:12]  Now, the Trump tax cuts.
[00:01:14]  Most middle-class Democrats, when you ask them if they got a tax cut during the Trump tax cuts, despite that being factually accurate, will tell you no.
[00:01:21]  Here's another one I saw.
[00:01:22]  You sent this, right, Guy?
[00:01:23]  Guy found this one too.
[00:01:24]  How, again, why do we have a divide in this country?
[00:01:27]  Because of the media.
[00:01:28]  Liberals believe what the media tells them, and conservatives largely don't.
[00:01:31]  Here's a Washington Times story.
[00:01:32]  It's great, by Valerie Richardson.
[00:01:34]  Democrats more likely than Republicans to believe false claims on climate change.
[00:01:38]  Survey.
[00:01:39]  Gee, why's that?
[00:01:40]  Well, why is it?
[00:01:41]  It's because these silly, you know, liberal dopes, they believe what the lib media tells them.
[00:01:47]  Whereas conservatives are more likely to question everything the media says because there's a good chance they're lying.
[00:01:55]  Here, another poll.
[00:01:57]  The results found 42% of Democrats, and only 35% by the way, of Republicans, Agreed that, quote, more people are dying of natural disasters, even though such deaths have declined by more than 90% worldwide over the last century.
[00:02:12]  U.S.
[00:02:12]  deaths from natural disasters fell from 413 to 320 from 2019 to 2020, according to the International Disaster Database, another poll showing you again that liberals just don't know anything.
[00:02:27]  There are always more liberals on any issue of significance, global warming or whatever it is, that know less than conservatives.
[00:02:34]  They just don't know a lot.
[00:02:36]  Here's another one.
[00:02:37]  This is stunning from the Washington Times piece.
[00:02:41]  71% of Democrats and 30% of Republicans agreed that, quote, climate change is increasing the cost of natural disasters as a percent of gross domestic product, GDP.
[00:02:51]  In reality, the share of GDP spent on natural disasters has either declined or remained flat when normalized, meaning when scientists take into account increased wealth and harm's way.

=== Henryusa Free Catalog (03:48) ===

[00:03:02]  Think of the higher cost of a hurricane in Miami Beach today than in 1921 when there were so few buildings.
[00:03:08]  Folks, the cost to GDP of these incidents is going down.
[00:03:11]  And when you factor in the population exploding and more people living off the water, it's stunning that the cost hasn't exploded.
[00:03:18]  In other words, they are completely wrong.
[00:03:20]  71% of Democrats don't understand that they're not getting more expensive when you normalize the data.
[00:03:27]  7 out of 10 Democrats can't figure that out.
[00:03:32]  If you're in the market for a rifle, shotgun, or revolver, you want to go with the best in the business, and as far as I'm concerned, that's Henry Repeating Arms.

[00:05:31]  Here.
[00:05:32]  You want to see how you're lied to again all the time by these leftist hacks?
[00:05:36]  Lied to.
[00:05:37]  That's why you should be proud.
[00:05:38]  And I'm so honored you support this podcast and the radio show.
[00:05:42]  We spend a lot of time, we do a lot of homework on this show.
[00:05:45]  And, you know, you may say to yourself, oh, you know, Dan, you debunk a lot of leftist nonsense all the time.
[00:05:50]  But there's a reason.
[00:05:51]  We've got a campaign season coming up that's going to be fought in the battlefield of ideas, at least with us.
[00:05:56]  And I want everyone out there to go out there armed with a good set, an armory of facts and data, because you'll never, ever lose a debate to these leftist nuts.
[00:06:05]  They just don't know anything.
[00:06:06]  And they don't know anything because of people like Peppermint.
[00:06:09]  Here's Peppermint Patty, up there yesterday at the White House briefing, again, excuse me, it was a couple days ago, with Peter Alexander, who I believe is from NBC.
[00:06:18]  He asks a fair question.
[00:06:19]  He's like, listen, you guys are going to now print another, you know, whatever, $1.7 trillion for the Biden Build Back Worse plan.

=== Economists Warn About Inflation (04:56) ===

[00:06:28]  Inflation's through the roof.
[00:06:31]  Obviously, kind of summing it up.
[00:06:33]  Aren't you guys worried about this at all?
[00:06:35]  Listen to this enormous whopper.
[00:06:37]  I mean, Peppermint lies about everything.
[00:06:40]  We get that.
[00:06:40]  I mean, she doesn't tell the truth about any issue of substance.
[00:06:43]  But this one is really insane.
[00:06:46]  I mean, it's not that she's an idiot.
[00:06:48]  Again, she thinks you're an idiot if you buy this.
[00:06:50]  Check this out.
[00:06:52]  On the state of America right now, inflation obviously at a 31-year high right now.
[00:06:56]  Americans are seeing their dollars, their paychecks stretched right now.
[00:07:00]  Why should Americans not be concerned that injecting another $1.75 trillion or more would further raise inflation?
[00:07:08]  Because no economist out there is projecting that this will have a negative impact on inflation.
[00:07:15]  Huh?
[00:07:19]  Oh, we haven't done this in a while.
[00:07:23]  Holding?
[00:07:24]  What's holding?
[00:07:25]  15 yards?
[00:07:26]  10 yards?
[00:07:27]  Repeat first down?
[00:07:29]  What?
[00:07:31]  Is she?
[00:07:31]  You know, my father's here this week.
[00:07:34]  Running around the studio.
[00:07:35]  He used to tell us when we were kids, are you off this earth?
[00:07:37]  When we would do something.
[00:07:38]  Don't ask me what it meant.
[00:07:39]  Maybe he'll come up and say, Dad, come on and tell us what that meant.
[00:07:42]  I have no idea what it meant.
[00:07:43]  Is she off this earth?
[00:07:45]  No economist is suggesting.
[00:07:47]  There are.
[00:07:47]  I don't want to say literally because I hate the word and I've said it too many times.
[00:07:53]  Thousands?
[00:07:55]  Tens of thousands?
[00:07:56]  I don't even know.
[00:07:58]  Just put it in a search engine.
[00:07:59]  Economists warning about inflation.
[00:08:02]  You want me to make it real simple for you?
[00:08:05]  I didn't even pick the Republican ones, or the conservative-leaning ones.
[00:08:08]  I didn't.
[00:08:09]  I want to pick you.
[00:08:10]  Not only are there thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of economists predicting mass inflation, I went and grabbed not only a Democrat, but the Bill Clinton former Treasury Secretary, a noted economist, Larry Summers.
[00:08:27]  This guy's a Democrat!
[00:08:29]  He was the Bill Clinton Treasury Secretary.
[00:08:32]  Here he is on, what is it, CNBC or CNN?
[00:08:37]  Here he is on CNN saying exactly what Jen Psaki says.
[00:08:43]  No economist is saying, keep in mind, this is a Democrat.
[00:08:46]  Nobody's talking about inflation, Joe, except everybody.
[00:08:49]  Check this out.
[00:08:50]  Given that you were worried about this before almost anybody else, and given that now you've got all these CEOs saying it's going to go a year, maybe even past that, right?
[00:09:00]  At that point, it wouldn't be transitory.
[00:09:02]  How long do you think inflation is going to go up?
[00:09:05]  I think the odds are that we're going to have inflation of a kind we haven't seen in 30 years until either the Fed takes some significant move with respect to monetary policy, Or until there's some kind of accident.
[00:09:25]  Nobody.
[00:09:26]  Nobody, Guy.
[00:09:27]  Nobody's talking about it, Joe.
[00:09:29]  Wait, wait, just to be clear, Isaki in that cut, I forget what, did she say, what was the exact, is there any way to cue that up again without screwing up the show?
[00:09:40]  I want to hear exactly her, play it again, I want to hear exactly her words.
[00:09:43]  Did she say not one, On the state of America right now, inflation obviously at a 31-year high right now.
[00:09:50]  Americans are seeing their dollars, their paychecks stretched right now.
[00:09:54]  Why should Americans not be concerned that injecting another 1.75 trillion dollars or more would further raise inflation?
[00:10:02]  Because no economist out there is projecting that this will have a negative impact on inflation.
[00:10:08]  Okay, no economists, except hundreds of thousands of people, probably tens of thousands of professional economists, hundreds of thousands of people who have experience with economics, like I do, but aren't professional economists.
[00:10:22]  No one.
[00:10:23]  No one, Joe.
[00:10:23]  There's no economists, except Larry.
[00:10:28]  You're kind of getting where we're going with this?
[00:10:31]  How you have an America that loves this country, loves economic freedom, loves religious freedom, loves the right to assemble, loves a peaceful protest that's all Americana.
[00:10:41]  Now you understand why they're upset?
[00:10:44]  Because you've got another half of America that lives in a fantasy land that doesn't exist.
[00:10:49]  They're lied to.
[00:10:50]  Oh, the climate change is killing us.
[00:10:52]  Trump didn't give us a tax cut.
[00:10:54]  Coronavirus kills 90% of the people it infects.
[00:10:58]  Rittenhouse shot a bunch of black guys.
[00:11:01]  No economist is predicting inflation.
[00:11:03]  You live in a world that doesn't exist.
[00:11:05]  Aren't you embarrassed?
[00:11:06]  Reminds me of that Sebastian Maniscalco skit, the comedian who's hilarious.
[00:11:10]  Aren't you embarrassed?
[00:11:12]  You're not humiliated that you're being lied to?
[00:11:16]  They think you're an idiot.
[00:11:18]  I'm not joking.
[00:11:19]  They talk to you like you're a child and an idiot.
