All right, Joe, it's Friday, so if you would, sir.
It's Friday!
Yes, that feels good to hear, especially this Friday where it's been a rough week.
So for those of you who missed my radio show yesterday, after the podcast, long story short, I was downstairs Working out, doing deadlift day, even though I didn't feel great this week and I had a little bit of a head cold.
And Paula was coming home, sees me in the garage, Paula, and she's like, listen, I don't know if it's a good idea that you're working out.
How do you feel?
She takes my temperature.
I got like a 99.5, so mild temperature thing.
No big deal.
She goes, Dan, I really think you should take a COVID test.
I'm like, COVID?
I just had COVID.
I just had COVID.
Seven, eight weeks ago.
There's no way I could possibly have COVID again.
It's some head cold or sinus thing or whatever.
I go upstairs and sure enough, yes, boom, a COVID test pops again.
So I'm assuming it's Omicron given that it's not really in my lungs this time.
It's more in my nose.
So I have COVID again.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm asking you the question, why?
Why?
Why?
I'm not asking you from a medical perspective about how the reinfection by the potential Omicron variant works.
I'm asking you why.
If all the advice we've been told by the left is supposedly accurate, then how is it that I've come to get reinfected the second time after getting vaccinated in January of 2021?
Now, folks, it's way past time to sideline the censors and start asking serious questions right now.
There's been an explosion in infections in people who've been vaccinated.
Let me throw this out there too.
I mentioned it on my radio show and I'm going to mention it today.
I get a lot of nasty grams and nasty emails and messages from people upset that back in January of 2021, early on in the pandemic, that I got the vaccine.
Listen, a lot of them tell me, I'm not listening anymore.
I can't trust you.
You're a moron.
You're stupid.
Okay.
That's fine.
Um, as I said on my radio show today, uh, nothing personal, but if you don't want to listen, don't listen.
You don't have to tell me.
Okay.
I understand.
If you think I'm a moron and I'm an idiot, uh, that I got this vaccine early, then that's okay.
You're allowed to think that I'm not mad at you, but you don't have to announce to me that you're like, I get it.
Like I get your point.
Let me just explain to you why that is, why I'm bringing it up.
Folks, listen, the vaccines obviously haven't met their initial marketing campaigns about their effectiveness.
Matter of fact, not even close.
Their effectiveness is largely collapsed, especially with the transmission of Omicron.
But early on in the campaign, for those of you out there in the listening audience who think I'm some kind of a moron or a dunce, as you know, I had cancer.
I had a blood cancer, lymphoma, and a cancer of my immune system, basically, the white blood cells.
My immune system was shot after chemo.
Early on you're willing to risk anything, because if I would've gotten sick with COVID back then when I was undergoing chemo and in the midst of a pretty, you know, pretty nasty case of post-chemo illness where I felt terrible, something serious could've happened to me.
I was willing to chance anything.
So I ask some of you out there who send me the nasty grams and stuff, and you're probably wondering why I'm highlighting this on my show, because I'm sure I'm not the only one.
You sure I'm your enemy?
The guy out there now speaking the truth about my situation, having now had the vaccine twice.
I'm not boosted by the way.
I don't know why people keep saying that I'm not getting any more boosters or any boosters at all.
I had two shots of the Pfizer vaccine.
I've now been infected with coronavirus twice.
Am I, am I crazy for asking questions about its efficacy?
Am I, are we nuts?
I'm just asking a question, like, what kind of vaccine do you get?
You get a serious case of COVID six months after you get the vaccine, and then you get a reinfection with the same virus, albeit a different variant.
So I shouldn't say the same virus, a different variant of the same general virus, right?
Just eight weeks later.
I'm just asking a question.
What kind of vaccine is that?
Oh well, maybe it's not a vaccine, it's a therapeutic.
It's a therapeutic, is it a therapeutic?
What is it exactly therapeutically doing?
You ever wonder why so many people are in such a panic about us asking these questions?
Why?
What do you have to hide?
If this thing is so effective, why hasn't it been so effective?
And why are you so afraid of us asking questions?
You can tell I'm frustrated, folks, because I'm dealing with this crap now for the second time in eight weeks, despite being told early on that the Pfizer vaccine I got was 90% effective in preventing you from getting it.
Obviously not!
And we're crazy for asking questions?
Again, I had to address those complaints because viewers, you matter to me.
But if you think I'm too stupid for you and me talking about my problems in my life and what happened and how it can then help some people out there who may be in a similar situation, then the show's not for you.
I don't know what to tell you.
Really.
You know, is there a rebellion happening now, folks?
I brought this up.
This has been a theme throughout the week.
I'm telling you, we're about to hit bottom.
We're about to hit the bottom.
And every time we hit the bottom, there's only up to go from there.
We've seen it before.
Churchill said it.
Well, we don't know if he said it or not, but I hate quotes because you can have it unless you were there.
But that, you know, in the end, after taking up all possible options with the U.S., we'll do what we always do the right thing.
I'm sure I'm destroying that quote somehow, but you get the point.
The convoy, Joe Rogan.
The Rock even backing up and Jon Stewart, the comedian backing up Joe Rogan.
And Shaquille O'Neal, I'm sure you've heard this, but this is an important moment yesterday.
I can't say to you enough, these people with cultural capital...
People in the culture who respect these people and don't see them as political actors.
It is important that they take a stand.
This is from Shaquille O'Neal, a podcast here.
Shaquille O'Neal asking a woman he's interviewing about these vaccine mandates and saying, hey, this is force.
And implying like, hey, this isn't the right thing.
This is important stuff.
Don't ignore this.
This is what I mean by, is there a rebellion going on?
Check this out.
Look, I encourage everybody to be safe and take care of your family.
I do.
But it's still some people that don't want to take it and you shouldn't have to be forced to take something that you don't want.
So I don't think people are being forced to take.
Well, there are some there are.
I mean, listen, we have a mandate at CBS.
That's force.
We have a mandate at CBS.
But my but my point is force.
But where I wholeheartedly.
That's force.
No, it's not force.
It is for, because if the man don't take it, the man gonna get fired.
Folks, I've told you many times, don't write these people off.
There are a lot of people on the Republican side of the aisle who believe we should say, ah, you know, where you been?
You should have helped us a long time ago.
I get the anger.
I understand the rage.
But that is the totally wrong approach to this battle.
We need 51% of the people to realize that the people who are canceling them are in the minority.
They are.
It is a small sliver of the population.
And by taking strategic compliments to our effort and kicking them off to the curb and humiliating them, that's not gonna help.
We don't have to kiss their asses, folks.
But they should be welcomed to the side of truth.
Here's a guy who's been on the side of truth for a long time.
Acknowledges his mistakes.
And speaks the truth about the developing science on coronavirus.
I've had him on my show, Dr. Marty Makary.
Finally, finally, Dr. Marty Makary, who's been preaching about the benefits of natural immunity, the benefits of science, while the left mocked and laughed at him.
Here's Dr. Makary on an actual study they did on natural immunity from coronavirus.
All of a sudden, Everything we told you for the last two years appears to be coming true.
While we're labeled the misinformation specialists, there's a rebellion coming, I'm telling you.
Listen to Dr. Marta Makary last night on Tucker on natural immunity and a study he did.
Check this out.
Dr. Marty Makary, Johns Hopkins health policy expert and a Fox News contributor.
He has results of a new study on natural immunity, which is a major issue when it comes to vaccine mandates.
So this is a letter in the JAMA.
You're an author of it.
You put together a study here in which you looked at antibody prevalence among people who were in the study.
What you found was that among 295 unvaccinated patients who tested positive for COVID, Antibodies were present in 293 of them, or 99.3%.
Do we know, though, what the clinical significance, Dr. McCary, is of this?
Does it actually confer immunity?
We think it does, John.
So one of the open discussions we've had with public health officials in the open forum for a long time is whether or not prior COVID infection, that is natural immunity, gives you a strong antibody response, and is it durable?
And we found that those levels were very much at the neutralizing level.
They were In the same range as that of vaccinated immunity, but they were more persistent.
That is, they were constant and stayed at a constant level for up to 22 months, nearly two years.
And that's simply because that is the time period in which COVID has been around for us to study it.
It's not that it will fall off a cliff after 21 months.
So this does answer an open question that we've had to date.
The left is apoplectic about this.
If you go to social media platforms run by the left, like Twitter, put in natural immunity, the left is losing their minds.
Losing their minds over this natural immunity study.
They appear to be upset that the science of natural immunity is the science of natural immunity.
Now folks, listen, because I believe in science, is natural immunity perfect?
Obviously not.
I opened the show telling you this is my second COVID infection in eight weeks.
You see how that works?
Science?
How I don't sit here and hide from you information to purvey a false narrative for the sake of a win on the political side?
Hey, natural immunity is the perfect solution to everything.
Look at me.
I'm not sick.
I'm interested in the science.
How is Omicron defeating natural immunity to other variants?
Why is the vaccine not working, it appears, at all against Omicron?
Why is the vaccine not even working well against Delta?
Why are people who are vaccinated in countries who are vaccinated, like Israel, why are they seeing an explosion in new infections?
Why can't we ask these questions without a censorship-loving, censorship-obsessed dunces on the left crapping their pants and diapers like a bunch of infant children attacking us?
You don't care?
You're not interested in these questions?
Left panicking over natural immunity.
Never seen anything like it.
I'm not kidding.
Go to Twitter.
Put in natural immunity.
The left is apoplectic, melting down that natural immunity is a thing.
Really, it's unbelievable.
They're astonished that natural immunity is a thing.
They can't believe it.
You can't have natural immunity?
Then people won't get the vaccine.
So let's pretend natural immunity doesn't exist.
We live in a society populated with a vacuum of stupid people who've got sucked into the vortex of idiocy.
The only good part about this whole thing, the only good part about this vortex of stupidity the left has been sucked into, is faith in institutions, the Democrat Party, the government, and the scientific establishment that's lied to us for the last two years is completely and totally eviscerated.
And there are journalists waking up to this nonsense.
One of them who's been asking hard questions for a long time is Matt Lee over at AP.
I want to show you this.
This is Ned Price at the State Department yesterday.
It's a Q&A session.
He's the propaganda minister for the State Department.
And Matt Lee, who's a pretty good reporter at AP, Ned Price goes up there and says, hey, listen, we have some information, the Biden administration that is, that the Russians are going to start doing crisis actor videos to get people to believe that there's a crisis and a Ukrainian attack that happened, and they're going to use it as an excuse to attack Ukraine.
So Matt Lee's like, you know, listen, um, I'm getting a little tired of you guys just telling us this and never backing it up.
I mean, aren't you the WMD guys, the collusion hoax guys, the Kabul isn't going to fall guys.
Uh, the guys who, you know, touted the wonders of the WHO, despite the fact that they screwed us.
Um, I'm, you're going to need to provide some proof that there's some crisis actor operation going on in Russia right now.
And Ned Price's proof is, I just told you so!
Are we seeing a renaissance in actual journalism?
I doubt it, but Matt Lee at least is asking hard questions here.
Watch this.
What evidence do you have to support the idea that there is some propaganda film in the making?
Matt, this is derived from information known to the U.S.
government.
Intelligence information that we have declassified.
I think you know.
Okay, well, where is it?
Where is this information?
It is intelligence information that we have declassified.
Well, where is it?
Where is the declassified information?
I just delivered it.
No, you made a series of allegations and statements.
Would you like us to print out the topper?
Because you will see a transcript of this briefing that you can print out for yourself.
That's not evidence, Ned.
That's you saying it.
That's not evidence.
I'm sorry.
What would you like, Matt?
I would like to see some proof that you can show that Matt, you have been- That shows that the Russians are doing this.
Ned, I've been doing this for a long time.
I know, that was my point.
You have been doing this for quite a while.
You know that when we declassify intelligence information, we do so with an eye to protecting sources and methods.
And I remember that Kabul is not going to fall.
I remember a lot of things.
So where is the declassified information other than you coming out here and saying, Matt, I'm sorry you don't like the format, but we have declassified- It's not the format, it's the content!
I'm sorry you don't like the content.
I'm sorry you are doubting the information that is in the possession of the U.S.
government.
What I'm telling you is that this is information that's available to us.
We are making it available to you.
Folks, why is that segment important in relationship to the last segment I just did about the failure of the left, academia, and the media to ask any questions about COVID, vaccines, masks, any serious questions?
Because if we had more of this early on, reporters like Matt Lee, if we had people like Matt Lee early on saying, where's the proof that lockdowns work?
Where's the evidence that masks are working?
Where's the evidence your vaccine is 90% effective against transmission?
If we would have asked questions like that early on, And stuck to it, then maybe we wouldn't be in the boat we are in now, where loyalty and fidelity to these institutions in the past, media, academia, and politicians, has now entirely evaporated.
Because you know what?
If we were asked about the proof early on, they would have been forced to come to the table with some actual evidence they wouldn't have been able to find.
If we would have had journalism early on, we wouldn't be in this place right now.
All right, folks, let me get to my next sponsor.
Here's what I got coming up.
I want to show you why the liberal rage machine is in such a panic over people like me and Tucker and Charlie Kirk.
They are melting down.
I want to show you why Axios has a piece.
One of the guys who hates me, I was actually involved in a lawsuit with him, wrote this piece.
I'm in it.
And then I want to show you how the Soros operation to shut us up because they're panicked actually works.
And you'll see what I've been working on.
It'll make some sense.
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.
You'll be amazed by their quality craftsmanship and buttery smooth action that makes them a pleasure to shoot.

So I've been getting a lot of calls lately from friends of mine in the movement, if you know what I mean, saying, gosh, what is with the...
Rabid insanity of the Soros leftist censorship machine over the last few months.
I mean, it's always been there.
Everybody knows it.
Right.
But I think we can all agree, right, Joe?
It's like, it's been at a different level the last few weeks.
Yeah.
Like a January 6th, it was insane.
Right.
Then it ebbed for a little bit.
Now it's been crazy.
And friends of mine are calling like, Dan, why, why are you in like a new news story every day?
Uh, and they're attacking you.
It's not just me.
It's others.
I'm not trying to make myself, uh, You know, some totem here.
I'm just telling you that I'm one of many, many people they've been going after.
Well, here's why.
Axios, Jonathan Swan and Lachlan Marquet, who, you know, I don't have enough.
These guys are just not really that great reporters, in my humble opinion, based on my experience.
But they have this article out that explains why I've become, along with Tucker, public enemy number one and two.
Pass to Power.
Here's their article.
It's called The Making of a Modern Republican.
The gist of the piece is where the new power centers are in the Republican Party.
Now you'll see why we're targets.
They say, quote, Pass to Power and winning elections inside the GOP are changing rapidly and radically, spawning a new generation of Kingmakers.
Kingmakers, Joe.
Kingmakers.
You got your crown?
Can you get a crown?
Can we get a crown for Joe?
Joe, can you go get one of those Burger King crowns this weekend if you're around?
We can wear that.
We'll put you on.
We'll take a little bit with the new Kingmakers.
Thank you.
While diminishing the clout of many who lorded over the party for years.
So again, the gist of that quote is, the old power centers in the Republican Party are disappearing, and these new power centers are cropping up.
Okay?
By Swann and Marquet.
So they say, in screenshot two from this piece, well, who had the power previously?
They go down the list.
The U.S.
Chamber of Commerce, the NRA, the Koch Network, Heritage Action, the Drudge Report, National Review, and conservative movement groups like Tea Party Express, FreedomWorks, and the Senate Conservatives Fund.
Okay?
This is their opinion about who had the power.
So who has the power now?
Now you'll see.
Sounds like the public enemies list on the left.
Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, Friends and Aides to Trump, Fox News, Club for Growth, Daily Wire, Breitbart News, and online influencers including Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro, Dan Bongino, Joe Rogan, Jack Posobiec, Charlie Kirk, and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Hmm.
So we have the power now.
Kingmakers, Joe!
Kingmakers!
I got the power!
That's good, that's good.
I told you, Joe can sing too, you never knew that.
Even those songs, which is not really his genre, right?
So we're the Kingmakers now.
Starting to make sense why all of a sudden every day you're reading some deranged lunatic article about how Dan Bongino was spawned from Medusa and if he stares at you, you turn to concrete or something like that?
So they leave the article like this.
Here's their last paragraph.
You can read the whole thing if you want.
I put it in the show notes.
I don't know why I'm linking to Axios, which is a left-wing hack site, but you can read it if you'd like.
They say an important shift is accelerating online.
Many GOP primary voters, i.e.
you, now get their information directly from influencers, including Candace Owens, Dan Bongino, Rogan, Dave Portnoy, Charlie Kirk, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and websites like The Daily Wire and Breitbart, which dominate Facebook.
They're afraid of me, folks.
They're terrified.
Because a lot of you are getting your information directly from me.
That I know is so scary, isn't it?
Oh my gosh, little old Dan Bongino, Kingmaker.
This is so ridiculous.
So ridiculous.
But now you understand why the Soros network and the left wing money network that finances all this stuff.
Now you see why I become public enemy number one.
Daily Caller has a piece.
I just saw this this morning by Aylan Evans.
Left wing, you can read this in my newsletter, Bongino.com slash newsletter.
Thanks to everyone.
We got something like 20,000 new signups just in the last few days in our newsletter.
It's all free.
Of course, Bongino.com slash newsletter.
You all are awesome.
Thank you very much.
Left-wing activists tied to disinformation group are working to demonetize conservative news sites.
Wait, so the left-wing activists trying, hilariously trying to shut me down, are tied to disinformation groups themselves?
I thought they claimed to be fighting disinformation.
Isn't that always strange?
What's the article about?
It's about the cat lady and her partner.
Nandini Jami and Claire Atkin.
So the article says, here's a screenshot number one, that Jami and Atkin, they serve on the, follow this, the advisory committee of a group called Good Information Inc.
An investment vehicle backed by LinkedIn founder and left-wing philanthropist Reed Hoffman and financier George Soros.
And led by Democratic strategist Tara McGowan.
So, these two people, trying desperately to censor me to no avail, by the way, the cat lady Nandini Jami and Claire Atkin, are working basically with this Soros group and this guy Reid Hoffman from LinkedIn, who are die-hard leftist anti-civil liberties activists, right?
Well, what if I told you that Nandini, who claims to be fighting disinformation, by the way, is openly working with Google to do so.
Google's doing that?
Google's working with a disinformation specialist?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
What if I told you Nandini was working with a guy who is a noted purveyor of disinformation?
Get a load of this.
Talking about Reid Hoffman.
The billionaire-funded tech firm, New Knowledge, which created thousands of fake Twitter accounts designed to appear as Russian bots during the 2017 Senate race between Roy Moore and Doug Jones in order to make it appear as if Russia was supporting Moore's candidacy.
Reid Hoffman, Nandini's little partner in crime here, later apologized for his involvement with this fake Russian bots group, folks.
New Knowledge CEO Jonathan Morgan acknowledged the firm engaged in disinformation tactics, but claimed the efforts were part of a quote, Research project.
This is hilarious.
Now do you understand why Google, working with these people to try and wipe people off the internet, Nandini, Reid Hoffman, George Soros, Claire Atkin, do you understand why Google is an existential threat?
If Google is not broken up and you don't support breaking up this anti-American, monopolistic, FEC-challenged company, which can't seem to, I believe, is breaking election laws by making in-kind donations to the left, If you are not on board, you get your information from me, a lot of you, I'm telling you, the first question you should be asking candidates is what are you going to do to make sure big tech stops working with government to censor free speech and violate the First Amendment?
If they can't answer that question, do not vote for them.
That question comes up later in the questions for Dan segment.
It gets worse.
Nandini, working with a known purveyor of disinformation, To combat disinformation.
This is one of the other groups associated with Reid Hoffman from LinkedIn.
It contributed over a half a million dollars to the legal fund of Bean LLC, the holding company, Joe, of Fusion GPS, which created the Steele dossier containing the many now debunked allegations of President Donald Trump.
So just to be clear, Dan Bongino, I have the books here, writes four books eviscerating the Russian collusion hoax started by this dossier.
Right?
And a group that helped fund some of the people behind funding the dossier goes after me for disinformation.
And the kicker is the guy funding the group funded another group that openly admitted to disinformation campaigns.
Sounds totally legit to me.
Google works with these people.
No, they don't, Dan.
Oh, here's a quote from Google.
Here's Michael Asimov.
We'll call him Michael Assman.
Michael Assman from Google apparently did an interview with Protocol.
So he works with people who've admitted they work with disinformation specialists to constantly attack conservative free speech.
Here's Michael Assman from Google.
In the last year alone, we've removed ads from thousands of pages across the sites flagged by Check My Ads.
That's the cat ladies group.
And continue to monitor all publishers and creators in our network to ensure they comply with our policies.
This is an amazing admission.
Google, I really recommend you have your legal department strongly consider, strongly consider your open social media coordination with these disinformation groups.
You're getting into some serious hot water, and I'm not the only one.
I'm not a lawyer, but I can tell you right now, people have reached out, and I think you guys are getting yourselves in some dangerously, dangerously hot water right now.
This is the lady who openly coordinates With Nandini, disinformation specialist, Soros stooge, on Twitter, they do it out in the open.
It's Ginny Marvin.
She's on Twitter, at Ginny, G-I-N-N-Y Marvin, M-A-R-V-I-N.
This woman, and by the way, be nice, we don't, you know, I don't need to tell you that, we're all civilized human beings, but the left loves violence and stuff like that.
That's not our bag.
We have the law on our side, and we have free speech on our side.
I don't ever want to fall into the moral, ethical pit these idiots live in.
This Ginny Marvin, she's Google's ad liaison, openly coordinates with them.
Why?
How do we know that?
Because Nandini celebrates it!
She tags them in her tweets!
Look what we did with Google Ads!
And Michael S. Mann there seems to be acknowledging it!
Anyone in Congress paying attention to what Google's up to?
Is Google rigging elections?
Is Google rigging elections because GOP primary voters prefer to get their information from me?
And disinformation specialists on the left that have already admitted trying to rig an Alabama Senate race are now working with Google and check my ads and Soros money and all that to influence elections?
Anyone up on the hill listening?
What's the FEC doing about this?
Why is Google allowed to keep their ad tech business under the Google platform when it's using it to self-serve an inside deal?
Weird, right?
Ladies and gentlemen, as I've told you before, and I'll say again, two-pager today, Google is an existential threat to the future of this country, to the constitutional republic, And if your candidates running in your primary can't answer what they're going to do about the growing threat to big tech, to elections, to freedom, and this constitutional republic, they don't have an answer, and they don't have your vote.
I can't tell you that in strong enough terms.
Google's got serious problems on their hands, folks.
I said, Google, you should really, really consult your legal department about options moving forward.
There's no question any longer you're involved in rigging elections to try to
try to prevent conservatives from getting the information they need to debunk your
leftist conspiracy theories.
They're a threat to freedom.
Proving my point again that the left is a fountain of disinformation, including
trying to rig an Alabama Senate race, including falsely attacking conservatives,
creating fake dossiers.
They're also just liars too.
What did I tell you about Biden early on? Joe Biden has a reputation for being a
pathological liar.
I mean that in the in the dictionary sense of the term pathological.
Joe Biden cannot stop lying.
All politicians lie.
I get it.
Republicans, Democrats.
Joe Biden is pathological.
Almost nothing he says on its face should be taken at face value.
He can't stop lying.
He did it again yesterday.
Remember the Amtrak story he keeps telling over and over?
Angelo, my boy Angelo.
The story has been discredited six or seven times.
I've lost count.
And yet he keeps telling it because he can't stop lying.
It's pathological.
Here he is again, telling this false story about the revolution, the Second Amendment, and ownership of cannons that's already been discredited by even the Washington Post back in 2020.
Can you put that up now, that headline?
Oh, we're going a little out of order.
Here it is.
Glenn Kessler.
A joke of a fact checker himself.
Even Kessler.
In June of 2021.
This is a while ago.
Said Biden's false claim that the Second Amendment bans canon ownership.
He's already been called out on this.
Here he is yesterday up in New York saying it again, proving my point.
The man is married to lying and he doesn't care if you call him out on it.
Here, check this out.
This doesn't violate anybody's Second Amendment right.
There's no violation of a Second Amendment right.
We talk like there's no amendment that's absolute.
When the amendment was passed, it didn't say anybody can own a gun and any kind of gun and any kind of weapon.
You couldn't buy a cannon when this amendment was passed.
And so no reason why you should be able to buy certain assault weapons.
You couldn't buy a cannon when the amendment was passed.
Folks, he's just making that up.
He's been called on it.
When you lose Kessler, it's a good point.
When you lose Glen Kelly, if we lost Cronkite, remember that?
You lose Cronkite, you lose, I mean really, even Kessler is now humiliated.
He doesn't matter.
All right, moving on.
He's just a pathological liar.
The point of that and the takeaway is you can't trust anything this guy says, even for a politician.
He's at an extraordinary level of lying.
Quick story I had mentioned the other day about how the left has no principles.
You know Eric Holder, disgraced Eric Holder, outside of Merrick Garland, the worst attorney general in the history of the United States, a man who's been so destructive to freedom or liberty.
He's supposedly fighting against redistricting, saying that the GOP is trying to rig elections, which is hilarious after the New York map that came out.
The state of New York put a redistricting map out for their congressional seats yesterday that is gerrymandered so hilariously bad that even some Democrats are embarrassed about it, even though they're doing it, so they're like hiding their faces.
So Democrats, you would think people like Eric Holder, who apparently don't like redistricting, saying they're rigging elections, would say something about it.
Nope!
Totally quiet.
Why?
Because it's a con, as Kim Strassel notes in the Wall Street Journal.
Eric Holder's democracy con.
It's a big con.
Eric Holder's a con man.
He always has been.
He's a disgrace.
He's always been a disgrace.
Here, she describes his strategy.
So we want to talk about rigging elections.
Mr. Holder's success rests in his suit-a-blue strategy.
You know what the suit of blue strategy is, folks?
Strassel describes it in the piece.
Eric Holder goes to red states that have redistricted and gerrymandered and sues them into blue districts.
And then when blue states gerrymander, he actually doesn't say anything at all.
He doesn't say a word.
Why?
Because he doesn't care about redistricting.
He cares about blue seats.
Showing you the man's a con man.
And he's intent on rigging elections for Congress.
I thought they said we were the ones reading the lectures.
Exactly!
That's what they do.
180 degree counter accusations.
That's how they work.
I want to get to questions and a couple more things, so let me motor through this fast.
A quick thank you, Reclaim the Net article that came out yesterday by Tom Parker.
Folks, a big thank you.
I can show you the rebellion is happening on the tech side.
My company and my payment processing company, which is an alternative to the cancel culture people at Stripe, has exploded.
It's ParallelEconomy.com.
Also, I am an investor in Rumble.
Rumble, ladies and gentlemen, has beyond exploded at this point.
Reclaimed and added an article about it yesterday.
Rumble announces record monthly watch time, uploads, and significant user growth.
The alternative video sharing platform reaches new highs.
Thank you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, folks.
It's been a long fight over the last few years against these cancelers, but I promise you, they are not winning.
Whatever short-term damage they think they're doing, they are actually incentivizing the creation of an entire parallel economy right now.
Please, sign up today.

Rumble.com slash Bongino.
We've added now 60,000 new subscribers in just a week.
Not 6,000.
60,000.
Thanks to you.
The traffic there is insane.
Rumble.com slash Bongino.
Paralleleconomy.com.
I deeply appreciate it.
There are options for you.
I'm just putting them out there.
You gotta put your money where your mouth is.
Because we're fighting people who are crazy.
How do we know they're crazy?
I saw this article and I thought to myself, there is no freaking way that this is real.
And sure enough, it is real.
Comic relief time, folks.
This is an article at Vice.
Scientists find putting pantyhose on your head makes your mask safer.
I swear to you, I thought this was a joke.
It's an article in the left-wing site Vice by Samantha Cole, who with no sense of irony at all, gives you these tips, folks.
If you're interested in making sure that the face diaper is attached to your face in a more secure fashion, she says, here are a few hacks for you.
This isn't a joke.
This is not the Babalambi.
This is a real piece.
Tape the edges of the mask to one's face.
Filling the sides of the mask with gauze.
Binding the mask to the face with gauze.
They call that the mummy method.
Putting a knot in the ear loops.
Rubber bands around the front to create a brace against the mouth.
Or a slice of pantyhose wrapped around the face.
Dude.
Now you see why Rumble and Substack and these alternate tech platforms and the parallel economy are exploding?
The people we're dealing with, ladies and gentlemen, are crazy people.
The only good part about this, as he noted earlier, is now you will see people in public with pantyhose around their face and a mask and you will know to run in the other direction.
Okay, I'm going to do the lightning round for you, Guy.
This is a segment I do on my Fox show on Unfiltered.
I love it.
At the end of my show, Unfiltered, 9 p.m.
on Saturday.
Set your DVR or join us live if you would deeply appreciate it.
What I like to do at the end of my show, because the show is called Unfiltered, it's very extemporaneous at times.
Some of it is scripted just for intros and outs because it's TV and you've got certain times you have to get in and out.
But most of the show is just me riffing on things I really care about.
So in the end, we like to throw this lightning round in.
And the challenge in the lightning round at the end.
What was that?
Oh, is that?
I'm like, what the hell is that in my ear?
So the challenge at the end and the challenge on this, get through as many stories as possible without Dan going on too long.
So let's go to Guy Pixie stories, not me.
Right, Guy?
You're going to test them.
Okay, headline, Global News.
Trucker convoy.
Justin Trudeau says protests becoming illegal as demands for action grow.
Ah, there you go!
Justin Trudeau, unsurprisingly, taking lessons from Fidel Castro and Kim Jong-un.
You don't like the protests?
Just declare it illegal.
There you go.
No surprise there, folks.
Story to the next story.
That was by Craig Lord.
Fox News.
49 Republicans pledge to shut down the government over federal vaccine mandates.
Thank you.
Please don't talk about it though.
Just do it.
I get the talk.
We appreciate it.
Do it.
Please.
Enough talk.
The do matters.
Just do it.
All right, let's see if they follow up.
Wall Street Journal.
U.S.
orders 3,000 troops to bolster European allies in Russia-Ukraine crisis.
I've got an idea.
How about we send 3,000 troops down to the border to secure our southern border instead of the Russia-Ukraine border?
There's a crazy idea, folks.
Nuts, right, Joe?
Totally bonkers there.
The Verge, Alex Heath, Facebook lost daily users for the first time ever last quarter.
Folks, this is going to get worse.
People are leaving.
They're going to TikTok.
They're going to Rumble.
They are tired of the censorship.
Facebook doesn't square their act away soon.
They're going to be the new MySpace.
Watch.
The collapse may be sooner than you think.
Remember MySpace?
That's what happened to them.
Next story.
Oh, this is the, okay, this is funny.
So, hat tip, libs of TikTok.
Somebody posted this.
It's a parody video.
Biden apparently, this is from a while ago.
Biden's walking around the White House.
It looks like he misses an entrance here or there, so there's a parody video.
Secret Service Team, the Eagle has landed and is making his way down the helicopter stairs.
We know his history with stairs and this could be a disaster.
slash Bongino. It's hilarious. You'll hear the sarcastic mock secret service commentary
in the background as Biden appears to just wander around the White House. Check this
out. Secret service team, the Eagle has landed and is making his way down the helicopter
stairs. We know his history with stairs and this could be a disaster. Stand by. Eagle
has made it down the stairs.
He was a little wobbly at the end, but he made it.
Eagle appears to be very disoriented today.
We're going to need to do like last time and point out exactly where we need him to go.
Secret Service team, prepare to point.
Hold that point.
Perfect.
No way he could miss that.
Eagle will be turning in five, four, three, two.
He missed his mark.
He missed his mark.
Eagle is wandering.
All units be advised, we are going to need a pretty lady or small child of some sort with nice smelling hair to get the Eagle back on track.
And we've lost All right.
Uh, fact checkers, Tom Kircher, Bill McCarthy.
It's parody.
Um, there's some sarcasm built in there.
It's not a real secret service video that you get it, but it is pretty funny.
Okay.
That was our lightning round.
We try to jam as many stories in as possible.
It is Friday.
I got to get to your questions next.
Great questions this week.
We've got some time to take care of those.
All right.
Sorry.
Getting some text on the show.
I'm the phone on do not disturb.
So I see these things, these lights pop up.
Here we go.
We got a lot of good questions.
We got questions for Dan.
See, I remembered.
I remembered like three weeks in a row.
I used to forget that little stinger thing there.
So this is from Dolphin Way.
Hey, Dan, why does it cost so much money?
Why does it cost so much money to run for office?
What are the main costs?
TV commercials, office building rentals, IT, travel.
Having run for office, I can answer this from experience.
A TV commercials, yes, are definitely the most expensive thing in a campaign.
They can be hugely expensive, but it's dependent on the market you're in.
If you're running in a state like Florida, which has five or six major media markets, Jacksonville, Orlando, the Panhandle, Miami, Central Florida, Tampa, Then yeah, you're darn right.
If you run it in a state like Nebraska, which I love, but the media is not as expensive.
It's just not as many people.
It's not as densely populated.
It can be a little cheaper, but yes, I'd say the two most expensive things are mail campaigns, sending out those big mailers, uh, and TV.
Yes.
Hugely expensive.
And some consultants can be expensive too.
That's why we didn't hire a lot of consultants.
They were largely a waste of money.
Good question.
This is from JWH Decker.
Hey Dan, I was wondering during today's show how things are going with the Dopey Media Olympics.
I haven't seen it, right?
I haven't seen a segment of Joy Reid for a while now.
Not that I'm missing it, but isn't Brian Stelter moving into first place lately?
Yes, we're considering it.
The problem, folks, is every time Brian Stelter does something dumb, like yesterday when he creeped into Kate Baldwin's show and tried to defend his buddy he gets coffee for, Jeff Zucker, Joy Reid says even dumber stuff, like attacking Joe Rogan for being misinformed, when Joy Reid hasn't gotten a fact on COVID right in two years, okay?
So it's hard.
It's hard.
It's hard.
It's like they're both training.
They're both training out of the Rocky movies and they're both doing the training scene.
I don't know what to do.
It's very confusing.
What's that?
Yeah, that's a good point.
Yeah, you know what, you're right.
He thinks Chuck Todd needs to be downgraded and Tiffany Cross is making moves.
Yeah, let's do that.
Let's get some graphics.
Let's get some graphics.
Good point.
Good question.
See, you just altered the show, J.W.H.
Decker.
Hey Dan, see this is the benefit of the questions.
It's your show.
This is from at Leonard Skinner.
I don't think this is the actual Leonard Skinner, but whatever.
Hey Dan, in terms of the alternate economy, how do you prevent them from eventually going woke and engaging in cancel culture?
Good point.
We're fighting wealthy and powerful forces that could buy off anybody at any time.
How are we going to prevent sellouts in the future?
Fantastic, fantastic question.
The companies I'm a part of.
What we do is we do not get involved and I don't get involved.
If board control isn't maintained by people committed to the business and people committed to free speech.
Or else I'm out.
That explains why I left certain companies in the past.
Many of you know what I mean.
I will not stay involved with any company that isn't committed to free speech and open commerce.
I won't do it.
You have to maintain control on those boards of people committed to the business of free speech.
It's the only answer.
You lose control on the boards, you're right.
And, you know, the people on the boards have to sell.
You can't just come in and buy.
People have to sell.
And the people I'm interested, I work with, aren't interested in selling to anti-free speech censorship advocates.
But good question.
This is from at Flo.
Flo?
Is that like the French Flo?
We just did.
If you'd like to give blood, probably a good time to do that.
So thank you, Flo, for reminding us.
There's a blood shortage right now.
Please ask if people can donate by finding a place in their communities to do so.
We just did.
If you'd like to give blood, probably a good time to do that.
So thank you, Flo, for reminding us.
That's more of a statement, but hey, we welcome those too.
Hey, Dan, if Trump runs for president again, will you accept a VP nomination?
Don't laugh.
I am serious.
Who's this by?
Why'd you zone in so much?
You think I'm blind?
Oh, is it?
The question's not wrong.
You're just being a lady at the bottom.
Oh yeah.
It says this is not from ad flow again.
Um, would I accept the VP nomination?
Huh?
I hate when people say, you know Joe politicians, when you considered running for president, I am committed now to my job, I have never thought about it.
Really?
You're a politician, a glory hound, that's what people run for office, right?
And you've never considered running for president, so I'm not going to lie to you, I've never considered that.
Yeah, I mean, I'd be pretty cool, I guess.
I mean, of course you don't turn them down.
So, yeah, of course I would.
I mean, how could you possibly say no to that?
That'd be amazing.
But thank you for your faith in me.
I'm not sure how many people share that.
People probably like me to stay on the air where I'm at here.
So, but thanks for the question.
Melanie Akoff asks, Hey Dan, besides sitting in your ex chair, what else do you do to relax and not think about all this stuff?
So, uh, let me show you a little email I got from the lovely Paulita today who sent me this question.
Right there.
And she says, it's gonna kill me.
I know one thing.
I do too!
Um, of course we're talking about the sauna.
Sauna.
We love the sauna.
Me and Paula like to sit in the sauna.
We sweat it out a little bit.
Makes for a good weekend.
Thanks, Melody.
Good question.
This show is like, right?
This is off the rails.
This is from jag315.
Dan, are you making any progress on Dan Bongino apparel?
My gosh, I, folks, I feel horrible about this.
I really do everything I can to say something to you and stick to my word.
You know, I said, I'd travel up to the Attila's gym and the tattoo guy.
I'd even got a tattoo to stick to my, it's, I, I tried to get it out before Christmas.
The problem is, It's not that it's hard to find a company to make apparel.
I really want it to benefit a cause.
I, I, yes, we have that.
We're making progress is the short answer.
The longer, but medium sized answer is I want it to benefit a charity.
I don't want to pry.
I don't need the money.
I'm trust me.
I'm contrary to the Nandini jammy assertions are weird.
A-okay.
My life is about activism now, right?
I wanted to benefit someone, so we're working on a charity now.
I don't want to profit personally from any of it.
So we're just trying to find the right way to get that done, if that makes sense.
But thank you for asking, and hold me to that.
This is from at Angry Senior.
Dan, you've mentioned we haven't hit rock bottom yet.
What do you foresee that as being?
Thanks.
I don't know.
It's like the stock market.
You kind of know and feel when you're around the bottom, but nobody really knows what it is.
If they knew what it is, everybody'd invest in it, right?
I don't know.
And the very act of observing, kind of like Schrodinger's cat, the very act of observing changes the reality.
Observing and looking for the bottom may change where the bottom is too.
I'm not trying to get overly philosophical here.
I don't know.
I think the bottom comes when the jobs numbers get really bad, and they haven't been this month.
That ADP profile was awful, but the jobs numbers today, there's something up with that, came out.
They were actually not bad, 467,000 jobs.
That seems strange.
I don't want to question it without evidence, so I'm just saying it seems strange given the ADP numbers.
But listen, jobs are a good thing.
I don't care who's in office.
We don't want to wish economic ill on everyone.
My favorite question, Z O G G, who is your favorite Marvel superhero and why?
I'll give you the answer.
My daughter, my nine, my 10 year old, my 10 year old.
When you ask her her favorite, she gives you her like seven favorites, which defeats the purpose of a favorite.
Right.
But I love that about her.
Oh, uh, Amelia, what's your favorite kid?
My number one is my number two.
I love my daughter.
Gosh, Really?
She makes me laugh like you have no idea.
My favorite Marvel superhero?
I love the Hulk.
Love the Hulk.
Because when I was a kid, I used to read comic books, as you know, and at night I would go to bed and I would say like, I would wish that I could have the super strength, you know, super strength, because a lot of stuff happened when we were kids and I just wanted the strength to fight back.
So I always loved the Hulk.
But I really, really, really like Batman, Daredevil, and Superman.
Not Superman, Spider-Man.
I don't like Superman at all.
Yeah, the second, third, fifth favorite, who the hell?
But I like them a lot.
And I like Batman because Batman had no superpowers.
He'd go out there and he can get hurt.
But yeah, he's DC, you're right, Batman's DC.
But Daredevil, love Daredevil, Matt Murdock, Spider-Man, I collect those now.
I have a, I have a, I would argue one of the best collections of Daredevil comics from number one on.
And Anyone is my favorite.
Folks.
Thanks so much for tuning in again.
A couple of small requests.
Sorry.
It's been a lot of a week of a lot of requests, which I try to keep to a minimum.
