All right, Joseph, this is your show, so let's get going.
Here we go, Dano!
Oh, you threw me for a loop there.
That sounded like a Friday thing.
It was like a little bit of a head fake, and then you switched halfway through.
I didn't mean to do that.
Yeah, you got me a little confused.
I'm like, yes, Friday.
Is it like date night already?
This is spectacular.
I'm like, it's only Tuesday.
Had to look at my phone for a minute.
The deep state's panicking right now over what has turned out to be a debacle for them in the Mar-a-Lago raid.
Why is it a debacle, Dan?
They hate Trump.
They can't stand Trump.
They raided his home.
Folks, this thing has turned so fast on them because you've kept the heat on.
I've said that over the last few days since it happened.
You need to keep the heat on.
Keep calling your congressman, email them, keep posting on social media.
You have a voice.
If a hundred people follow you on Twitter and Facebook and Truth, it's a hundred people who are going to see what you posted about this debacle.
Keep the heat on.
How do we know they're in a panic?
There are poker tells everywhere.
You're a poker player?
Well, not really, but a friend of mine is a good, I know how to play, but a friend of mine's a very good one.
Not going to say who, but like a world-class poker player.
He's incredible.
We used to talk a lot.
He'd say, listen, they all, even the best poker players in the world, they'll slip.
They have a tell.
You can see when they're nervous, they'll do something.
And if you get really good at it, you'll see those micro expressions.
The deep state has a tell everywhere.
Here it is, NBC News.
Justice Department is now asking the judge to keep Trump's search warrant affidavit sealed.
Oh, citing the investigation.
Oh, that's convenient.
It's only one of the biggest overreaches of power and abuses of government power in United States history.
How do you know what's the... This is the easiest.
We'll get into the more detailed tells that require a little nuance in a minute.
But what's the biggest tell of all?
What's the biggest tell of all?
Who's... Just ask yourself now.
Libs, just ask yourself for a moment.
Who's calling for transparency here?
In other words, we got nothing to hide.
And who's calling to hide stuff?
The government wants to hide stuff, and Donald Trump is calling for transparency.
So if the information in the affidavit, in other words, what the agent swore in front of the judge to get the search warrant, right?
That's the affidavit.
The affiant is the person swearing to it.
It's the story they tell the judge to establish probable cause to get the warrant, right?
If that information is so... I'm just asking you a common sense question.
If that information is so damaging to Donald Trump, then why is Donald Trump openly on True Social and elsewhere calling to release the affidavit while the Department of Justice under Joe Biden and the FBI want to hide it?
Why?
Why is that?
Anybody?
Anybody have any theories on that?
Joe?
Guy?
Anyone?
Kind of strange, right?
Yeah.
Maybe.
Yeah.
Sounds a little weird, right?
One side say, Hey, let's, let's see the goods.
The other guy said, I don't know.
We're just going to hide the goods.
Maybe because they're not the goods.
Maybe they're the bads.
Maybe they're the bad.
Yeah.
Now here's another tell.
Here's another tell that there's a problem.
Something's rotten in the state of Denmark here.
Ladies and gentlemen, whenever they trot out Fusion Kendallanian, you know, you know the deep state's in trouble.
Now, who is Kendallanian?
Kendallanian is a fake news specialist.
Kendallanian has been a mouthpiece for the deep state forever.
I'll show you in a minute.
This is nothing new.
So the way it works is they have reporters and stuff in their back pocket.
These deep staters in the intel community, the federal bureaucracy, these reporters, again, I use what they have very little dignity at all.
And they don't take their job seriously.
They're activists, right?
They're not actual journalists.
So they know they can feed them a preset narrative and with doing no investigative journalism whatsoever.
These reporters, air quotes, will repeat what they say on the air.
You get it?
They're like megaphones.
They're echo chambers.
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello.
Ken, Ken, Ken, Ken, Ken.
That's what they do.
Whenever you see Ken Delanian on NBC, Trying to cover up for them hiding the warrant.
You know that they are terrified about what's in that affidavit.
We'll get into that in a second.
Here's cut one of Ken Delaney in first, uh, yesterday at NBC explaining how, oh man, this thing is so dangerous to Trump.
It's so bad.
There's so much stuff.
Really?
Why does Trump want it released then?
So of course the deep state had to give him his talking points.
Watch this.
It's hilarious.
They actually addressed the question of, well, can't you just release it and make some redactions?
They have, you know, blacking out the names of confidential sources or particularly sensitive details.
And they essentially said in the first footnote of the document, if we did that, we would have so many areas blacked out that you wouldn't understand a word this thing was saying.
Now, I'll explain to you why that's just, again, that's just him repeating what they told him to say because they have no case.
I'll explain what that's about in a minute.
Oh, we'd have to black out the whole thing.
All right.
Well, black out the whole thing.
We want to see it.
Black out the whole thing.
We want to see what you blacked out.
We want to see how long it is.
They don't want to do that either.
Really strange, right?
Here's Ken Delaney, and again, just the other day.
Remember, this guy is a stenographer for the Deep State.
He does no investigative journalism.
He's not an investigative journalist.
He's an activist for the Deep State.
Whenever you see this guy on NBC talking, just assume you're talking to a Deep State or listening, I should say, to a Deep State.
Here he is the other day.
Again, another poker tell.
Check this out.
Ken, what do we know about the documents seized at Mar-a-Lago?
Good morning, Andrew.
Well, the warrant tells us the FBI seized five sets of documents marked Top Secret.
And that means information that, if disclosed, would pose exceptionally grave danger to U.S.
national security.
But among that was one set marked Top Secret Sensitive Compartmented Information.
And as you know, Andrew, from covering the intelligence community for a long time, That means information that's so secret only a small group of people inside the U.S.
government can see it.
Those who have a need to know.
We're talking about things like names of CIA sources in Moscow or images from the most advanced spy satellites.
This information was so sensitive that the FBI agents who took it out of Mar-a-Lago would have had to take it to a special facility.
We're talking about the most protected secrets in the U.S.
government.
I can't get over this guy.
Notice what they told me to say, where the location is a spy satellite, what they're looking at, nuclear codes, and everybody, yeah, oh yeah, Joe.
And everybody just said NBC is like takes it to Facebook.
You wonder if Ken Delaney did any investigative work, is that what was actually there?
Well, maybe not, but that's what it could have been.
Yeah, yeah.
It could have been a lot of things.
It could have been who's buried in Grant's tomb, too.
Liberals are like, huh?
What?
They're still confused.
It could have been a lot of things.
Now, because something was labeled TSSCI does not mean it still is.
You may say, yeah, Dan, we've already heard that point that President Trump can declassify.
No, no, I'm not even talking about that.
Notice how Delaney and jumps to the most extreme example, spying information.
Oh my gosh.
And the, and the, the alleged journalists on the set there, they're all just sucking it in as if it's true.
Let me give you a quick example of why they told Delaney and to say that because folks, because something was TSSCI doesn't mean it still is that's top secret, sensitive compartmentalized information.
Quick example, We were at the Secret Service, right?
We did motorcade routes.
The President's motorcade route... This is an example you need to use with your friends.
They'll understand.
The President's motorcade route, before the trip, is out.
A lot of it is top secret.
Especially overseas in terror hot zones.
Sometimes we would feed the media fake motorcade routes.
Why?
Obviously, you don't want the terrorists setting up on a motorcade route to kill you!
We're gonna be here at this time, guys!
So it was top secret.
Get it?
Mark, top secret.
Then, all of a sudden, a trip happens.
The motorcade route, we drive it, we drive it back, and he's gone.
Now, let me ask you a question.
Is the motorcade route top secret?
Was Mark top secret?
Guy, why would it not be top secret after the trip?
Just throw that out there.
Can you figure this out?
You're a smart guy.
Because he's no longer there!
He already rode on the motorcade route!
Everybody knows it!
They saw him and waved!
You see what Delaney is doing here for the Deep State people?
Just because a box marked TSSCI, or labeled, as it says in the return, labeled at A26 or whatever, doesn't mean it was!
They're panicking!
You get the nuance, right?
They're like, Ken, listen, We served the search warrant.
We found nothing of any criminal significance at all.
We need a big favor, buddy.
Go out there and say it was spy satellites at a nuclear... Yeah, man!
Okay!
And everybody just sucks it up!
Here's who Ken Delaney it is.
I don't usually put older pieces in the newsletter, but this is in the newsletter today.
Bongino.com slash newsletter.
Please read it.
It's from my birthday, December 4th, back in 2017.
It's by the great Lee Smith.
He talks about the media's role in the Fusion GPS PP tape scandal.
It's a Federalist piece called Fusion GPS Scandal Implicates Media Impossible Pay to Publish Scheme.
Pay to Publish Scheme.
Look who he mentions in the piece.
Mentions, of course, Ken Delanian.
He says a reporter, Bill Browder, believes to be a regular and reliable purveyor of Fusion GPS manufactured talking points.
Lee Smith's opinion.
Remember Delanian?
Lee alleges in his piece that an insider, Browder, believes he was a purveyor of talking points there for Fusion GPS, the company hired by Hillary Clinton, the PP hoaxers.
Ken Delanian's not new at this, folks.
There's a tell here.
Now, it's been about 10 minutes, so let me kind of sum up.
I mean, I should have just dropped the lead up front.
The tell about what?
Why Delanian?
Why others?
Why are they hiding the affidavit?
Why is Donald Trump calling for transparency where the FBI and DOJ are panicking, desperately trying to hide the affidavit?
Because, folks, as I said to you yesterday, The warrant.
The warrant was BS the whole time.
It was just an excuse to search Donald Trump's residence at Mar-a-Lago for January 6th stuff and for Russiagate documents.
I am now completely convinced.
And what happened?
They found nothing!
So now, in a panic, they'll refuse to release this thing, citing national security reasons, And law enforcement sensitive information, they'll refuse to release this stuff and they'll do it in order to prevent you from seeing the fact that this whole thing was a pretext.
Listen.
Without sounding in any way pretentious or sounding like a jerk, this is a story I'm going to be focusing on this in each show for the next few days.
I got other stuff to get to as well, but folks, this is way too critical.
And this is one of those stories like Joe and I with Spygate, where the audience doubled and tripled seemingly every week.
This is one of those stories where my experience is invaluable here.
I wasn't a doctor, so it's hard to comment on what it's like to commit to do an open heart surgery.
I was a federal agent.
I've served a ton of search warrants, been involved in the White House and the protection side.
I want to go through some takeaways here from this point here, some of the open and unanswered questions, because this thing is getting uglier by the minute.
Ken Delaney, and again, assume someone in the deep state is talking when Delaney is opening, he's like a parrot for them, right?
If he says, listen, the affidavit, we'd have to black out a lot of stuff because there's classified info in there.
You would wonder to yourself, if you were a smart federal agent, why?
Let me explain.
And guys, if this is complicated, stop me as the audience ombudsman there on my cost, right?
When I'm a federal agent and I want to get a search warrant, Number one, I typically get an arrest warrant with a search warrant, but I'll explain that in a minute.
If I'm getting a search warrant for Joe's house for robbing a bank, right?
One of the things I want to do in the search warrant, because I realize if I find stuff I need to arrest Joe, if I don't have an arrest warrant at the same time, the search warrant is going to become available to his lawyer at some point after I arrest him.
I don't want them to know right away, before I secure a plea from Joe, what I got.
Do you get what I'm saying?
In order to hold over Joe's head the, hey, you might want to cooperate, in other words, wink at a nod, there's more stuff out there.
I'm not putting all my cards out in the affidavit for the search warrant.
I'm putting the minimum amount of stuff I need to establish to a judge probable cause that I believe evidence is in Mar-a-Lago.
I'm not loading it up with classified information!
So why is Kendallanian saying there's a bunch of classified information in there?
I don't know the answer!
Or maybe they did that on purpose.
Knowing if they didn't find anything, that Donald Trump would call for the affidavit to be released, and they would load it up with classified stuff and say, Time out!
Time out!
Can't release that, it's classified info in there.
Devious.
Genius, but devious.
We are dealing with a very, very sophisticated group of political opponents here.
Very sophisticated.
I now have little doubt that that's exactly what happened.
They loaded it up with unnecessary information that was classified so that they could go back later and say, what an ass, we can't, it's on our call to not release it, there's classified info in there.
That's point number one.
Okay, I got to put, I'm sorry, I got so much I want to get to, I don't want to miss anything.
I'm taking like notes during the show.
Obviously you see I'm excited about this story.
Excited because it's breaking so bad against me.
Another question.
If the information in the affidavit in front of the judge that they can't release, even though Trump is demanding it, was so sensitive and so dangerous, what they claim they have probable cause to believe they're looking for, not a guess, Joe, they are probable cause to believe that this is, that's a high standard.
If the information was so classified, spy satellites, nuclear codes, nuclear weapons, it's all going to end.
So dangerous.
Then how come when they showed up in early June, the FBI and the DOJ, they left without the documents?
They asked Adam Schiff for this the other day.
They asked him on a show, hey, why did they wait so long after Trump left office if this information was so dangerous?
If there was that sensitive level of information being held, why did Justice Department officials wait 18 months after the end of the Trump presidency?
What changed that made this immediate?
I don't know.
But if the Trump people represented that they provided all the classified or national security information and didn't, that's a serious problem.
And I can tell you anyone in the intelligence community that had documents like that marked top secret SCI in their residence after authorities went to them, you know, they would be under serious investigation.
That was Shiv.
He has no answer as to why they waited so long if, according to the affidavit, this is the most dangerous national security situation we've seen in so much so we have to black out everything, Joe.
It's a big black dot.
I got a cover tattoo once on a tattoo I didn't like and the tattoo was so big the guy said to me, you have two choices, this black eagle or a big black dot to cover it.
Big black dot.
Big black dot.
That's a true story, by the way.
The danger was so acute, they had a blackout with a big black dot, everything in the affidavit, yet they left the documents there.
Again, strange.
Also, I heard on cable news the other morning, someone say, well, Donald Trump only requested that they release the document, the affidavit for the search warrant, because he knows they can't release it.
Oh, he does?
That's kind of the dumbest talking point I've ever heard.
Why is that?
Because Joe, they're going through a procedure right now that the FBI and DOJ objected to, to release the document.
Am I confused?
So I was a federal agent again, I'm a little confused.
So there is a process to release the affidavit.
They're going through it right now.
Well, how do we know that's true?
One, because I'm telling you it's true.
But secondly, because I just showed you a headline saying in the process, this news personality said doesn't exist.
The DOJ objected to releasing it in the process he claims isn't going on right now.
Okay.
Yeah, you're confused.
Me too.
Yes.
So just to be clear, TV guy says Trump knows that they can't release it.
So he's going through the process where they can release it, which the DOJ is objecting to.
So how is there isn't a process?
They're not up if they're going through the process now.
Got it.
You just, you just don't like the process.
That's the problem.
All right, let me get to my second sponsor, and I got another tell.
Now you'll see how sophisticated our political opponents are.
There is another tell.
They set this up perfectly.
Perfectly.
Unfortunately, it's all collapsing, because at some point, no matter how good your plan is, you got to win the battle, and they're losing big time.
All right, a lot more to get to.
Loaded show today.

So here is another poker tell that the FBI is panicked.
And just again, so we're clear, I don't, but tell them what you're going to tell them,
tell them, tell them what you told them.
So this sticks.
They have nothing on Trump.
The warrant wants a bunch of mumbo-jumbo.
They judge shop to get the right warrant.
He signs off on the warrant, that way they have cover.
Oh, look, we went in front of a magistrate.
They thought they would find a bunch of stuff where later on they could celebrate, look, we found the nuclear codes, and they found nothing.
Now they're panicking, and they're desperate to keep all of this secret.
So did you notice the other day, they had issued this bulletin, FBI and law enforcement in danger.
The Republicans who are questioning this abuse of government power.
They are themselves the attackers.
Terrible people.
Ladies and gentlemen, you have a constitutional right.
You live in a constitutional republic where the bureaucracies and the federal government operate at the consent of the governed.
Do not ever get baited into violence.
That is what they want.
That is what they want.
Why?
They're putting it out now.
They are begging for something.
Please, God, I'm not using his name in vain.
Do not get baited.
You will lose everything in addition to the immorality of it.
We cannot cross that red line.
But they are using this.
Their strategy here is to shut you down by claiming you're inciting violence.
They're doing it.
Here's the tell.
Let me get to the point here.
The Hill.
DOJ says unsealing Trump-Warren affidavit would jeopardize investigation.
Notice in the Hill.
Again, this is a left-leaning outlet.
Notice what the FBI now, where they're going to go to next after they say, oh, it's classified stuff.
They say, talking about people working with investigators, quote, this isn't merely a hypothetical concern, given the widely reported threats made against law enforcement personnel in wake of the August 8th search, reads a footnote in the filing.
Do you see what they did?
They already set it up, knowing the Kendall-anians and the parrots of the world would set it.
You get what they're doing here, Joe?
Not only can we, we got to keep this secret because it's definitely classified, which we put in there for a reason, to make sure it was classified so you couldn't see it, the affidavit.
But another reason we can't release the affidavit?
Because you Republicans and conservatives out there, you're definitely inciting violence by asking questions.
And it'll incite more violence.
You can't win. You can't win. You can't win. Another big problem with this.
This is deep, man.
We're getting into, like, the weeds on this.
I hope you're ready.
I heard on cable news again the other day.
Oh, well, the FBI, man, they're just doing their jobs, these guys.
No, they're not just doing their jobs.
Cut the bullshit, alright?
Get the cobwebs out of your head.
They're not just doing their jobs.
These are smart people.
They're not idiots.
You understand how hard it is to get in the FBI?
I went through the process with the FBI.
Took the Secret Service job instead.
It's really, really hard.
Those are lawyers.
They're engineers.
You have to have like five to seven years of work experience.
Military officers.
These guys aren't stupid and women over there.
They know exactly what they did.
The issuance of a warrant on a former president served for the first time in American history.
You're not an agent looking at this going, wait, this?
Are you sure we should be doing this?
Well, Dan, they're not allowed to do that.
You know what?
I'm disgusted that none of you in the FBI had the foresight to resign and become a whistleblower over this.
When I realized stuff was going on that shouldn't have been going on, I walked away.
You're not gonna challenge me on that at all.
I am so disgusted that the so-called rank-and-file guys who took part in this, not one of them looked at this and said, big picture here, what am I doing?
Is this right?
Is this ethical?
Is this more?
None of you thought that?
They're just doing their jobs?
Doing your job requires breaking 200 plus years of precedent, to weaponize your gun and badge, to go and harass a former president because he's a potential political opponent to the president.
Now, that's not your job!
Get the cobwebs out of your head!
Another point.
When I was a federal agent, folks, we typically served an arrest warrant and a search warrant at the same time.
I want to explain to you the difference between federal and local law enforcement.
I was on both sides.
I went from NYPD to Secret Service.
The way it works with the NYPD is if you're not a detective and you're a street cop, which is why I wasn't a detective.
I was on the street.
You build a case backwards.
So you're patrolling.
And again, if this doesn't make sense, stop me, fellas.
But you see a guy starts beating his wife on the street.
You go and obviously arrest him, put him in cuffs.
You take him in.
You never met this guy 10 seconds before.
You don't know who this guy is.
You're driving in your, we used to call them RMPs, Radio Motor Patrol.
You're driving, oh my gosh, look, Tony, there's a guy, stop!
You get out, you arrest him.
You lock the guy up, his name is Jason Smith, whatever.
You put him in jail.
You just met this guy.
You have to build the case backwards.
What does that mean?
Get the wife.
You take a corroborating statement from the wife about what happened.
You go and you interview family members.
There's a history of domestic violence here.
You work the case backwards.
See the crime work backwards.
Well, what does that mean for this case?
That's not the way federal cases work.
We're not a police department.
Nobody walks in the Secret Service office I worked in in New York, rarely, and says, hey, I want to make a complaint.
That's not the way it works.
Bank investigators and others call you.
Hey, we got a credit card fraud case.
And what happens?
You work the case forward.
Oh, yeah, what happened?
We got this guy on video.
It's happened to me.
We found him in a Home Depot.
He's running a fake credit card to buy lumber.
Oh, I'm looking.
I have no idea who the guy is.
Long story short, a year later, I found who the guy was.
Took a lot, a lot.
It was the most detailed case I ever worked.
But by the time I found out who the guy was, I had the case lock, stock, and two smoking barrels.
I worked the case forward.
I got an arrest warrant.
We got a search warrant.
We arrested the guy.
He had no choice to plea.
The case was done.
You get the difference?
Yeah, that was very helpful.
Yeah, they worked the case forward.
The FBI is not a police department.
They're not on the street searching for a guy beating their wife on the corner.
They worked the case forward.
The point I'm trying to make here is, don't you find it awfully strange that the FBI, this is why I'm so mad at this TV guy.
He's just doing their job.
It was my job too!
The FBI knows this too!
You don't go serve a search warrant on a former president without having this case absolutely tied up in a bow!
What are you nuts?
That's not the way it works!
I did it!
You didn't!
I'm telling you that's not the way this works!
It only works if you're on a fishing expedition searching for a crime from a person!
You get what I'm saying?
We investigate crimes in search of people.
We don't investigate people in search of a crime.
That's what they did here.
It is so obvious.
Folks, I had about...
15 or 20 people with deep experience with federal agents.
Some of them weren't fed, but they worked on federal task force, so they know it well.
One guy specifically you've seen on TV texted me yesterday, Dan, you nailed it.
This is a pretextual phishing expedition.
They're investigating Donald Trump in search of a crime.
There is no way the feds would let this happen in any other case.
The fact that there was no arrest warrant served with the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago says to me, they never had a damn thing to begin with.
And they judge shopped.
And they may have mischaracterized the evidence in front of the judge, and that's why they're trotting Kendallanian out there now, because they don't want to show you the affidavit as to what they said.
I will bet you my bottom dollar they judge shopped for this judge and stretched the facts, stretched them in front of him to serve a pretextual warrant to quote, find something.
Now they didn't find anything and they're in a panic.
I got more.
It's a heavy show.
Spread this everywhere.
You read my mind now, right?
You guys are getting good.
I used to have to say that, you know, give him a hint.
Now he just pops up.
Very nice.
A couple more points I want to make on this.
You know, it's ironic that again, there are some in the media defending the FBI here saying, oh, well, they're not going to release that.
They can't release it as classified information.
Don't you fellas find it strange that if the information is classified and so dangerous that we don't want anybody to know what Donald Trump had?
That they're leaking stories to Kendallanian and the media?
It's almost as if they want to play what we call the asymmetric leak game.
What's the asymmetric leak game?
It's where me as the federal agent, or the DOJ, And I've never done this, but if I was a real scumbag, pardon my language, this is what you would do.
You'd call up a press guy and you'd say, listen, we're going to hide the information from Trump so he can't fight back, so he doesn't know what we wrote in the report, but I'm going to leak to you information that may or may not be in there, like Kendallanian, and you're going to go out there and say it's spy satellite stuff.
And then a good reporter would do what, Joe?
They'd say, well, did you find spy satellite stuff?
That's not what any of these people are doing.
You get my point?
They're leaking out to activists who are putting stories out there about spy satellites, nuclear codes.
So they're asymmetrically leaking while claiming at the same time, while they're leaking, hilariously claiming stuff so dangerous we can't let it out.
You get it, Joe?
I'd tell you, but then I gotta kill you.
Yeah, right.
I'd tell you, I'd tell you, but then I gotta kill you.
That's right.
I can't tell you guys in the public, we'd have to kill you.
But I can tell Ken Delaney it.
It gives the Trump attorneys and Trump no way to fight back.
And it gives a mouthpiece to the deep state media people to put out, you know, air quotes, facts that are damaging to Trump.
That may or may not be facts, and there's no way Trump will figure it out because they're keeping a document classified.
And people defend this?
Well, the FBI's just doing their job.
To leak?
That's their job?
What is their job?
How do you know their job?
Did you do their job?
Were you a federal?
Oh, you weren't.
So you're guessing.
You're just making that up, basically.
You have no idea.
Their job is what?
To leak to Kendallanian?
Where do you think Kendallanian got that information?
Where do you think those left-wing media outlets got that leak about nuclear secrets?
Where do you think they got that?
I thought the information was so sensitive.
I thought Merrick Garland told us once, Joe, that they were only going to speak through their formal charging documents.
There weren't going to be any leaks.
They were airtight.
Wait a minute.
What happened there?
A couple more things.
A lot of show today, fellas and ladies.
There's some, let's just, Kind of debunk something.
I'm reasonably confident, and I shouldn't say debunk because I'm speculating a bit, to be fair.
But based on a body of experience, I think this story's false.
Whereas I definitely do not want you to get baited by any kind of violence stuff for both moral, legal, and a thousand different reasons.
I don't want you to get baited and distracted by false narratives either.
It reminds me of Kraken stuff.
We had so many good stories to tell.
The 2000 mule story and everything.
I don't want anyone to get distracted.
I think this part of the story is not real.
There's some talk out there that there is no affidavit in support of the search warrants.
In other words, there's no written copy of what the FBI told the judge in order to go search Trump's location.
Again, I'm being candid with you.
you when I speculate I tell you I don't know for sure that there's no written affidavit but I'm 99
percent sure if not 99.5 or more percent sure that there is in fact a written affidavit.
Okay, why, Dan?
Back it up.
Make your case.
Fair enough.
That's what we do here.
Producer seats, even, for your opinions and speculation.
Served a ton of search warrants, can't say that enough.
And while you can call up a judge or a magistrate on the phone, I mean literally, call them up, and verbally give your probable cause, it happens sometimes in emergency situations where you don't have a computer and you can't type something out, you can do that.
Matter of fact, at the local level, it happens all the time.
I'm telling you it's very rare.
At the federal level, very rare.
It's very rare in any case at the federal level.
For a case of this kind of significance.
If it turns out to be true, I'll correct it.
That there's no written warrant.
I would be astonished.
Astonished.
If this was a phone issue.
Astonished.
Also, there would be some written record somewhere else.
Ex post facto.
I just don't want you to get distracted.
I see that as so incredibly unlikely.
So incredibly unlikely.
Another tell.
Oh, breaking news.
First lady Jill Biden.
Jill Biden, test positive for COVID-19.
I wish her the best.
I just broke on Fox.
Hope she's okay.
It's probably she didn't get it before, you know, Biden had it.
That was interesting.
So I hope she's okay.
So, I want you to remember also, They're claiming to you now they can't release the affidavit because of all this classified information.
We need to keep this all secret.
Well, don't you find it odd that they released the return on the warrant?
Folks, when I serve a search warrant at Joe's house looking for evidence of felonious mopery, when I find the felonious mopery evidence and I remove it from the house, the felonious mopery papers, I have to give Joe a receipt.
It's his property.
Even if it's contraband, it's his.
I have to give him a receipt.
Now, they were more than eager to release the receipt of what happened.
And you notice the receipt had all kinds of labeled top secret, labeled SCI.
Did you notice that?
Well, one of the things, hat tip, my man 279er here.
One of the things that was at the top of the return, in other words, the stuff they took, again, a tell that they had zero, they got nothing out of this.
Folks, when you do a return on the warrant, especially in a high profile case like this, you want to be damn sure that those first couple items at the top of that receipt, Joe, that those are your moneymakers.
38 special found in Joe's apartment, used in bank robbery on August 8.
Then after that comes, you know, Joe's pen to use to write the bank robbery note.
You get it?
Piece of paper, resembles one.
Whenever you can, you put your ringer items at the top.
Hattip279 pointed this out.
Dan, he's like, you notice what the first item was?
The Roger Stone grant of clemency?
Now, 279er made a great point.
This was so classified, Dan.
It's so dangerous, the Roger Stone clemency grant, that if you go to the internet and put executive grant of clemency Roger Stone, it pops right up.
Matter of fact, here it is right here.
On the internet.
So classified, Joe.
Sitting right out there on the internet.
What's that?
It's on justice.gov, Guy said.
There you go.
You can go right now.
That said, that is a, if there ever was a Muttley, that's your, that's your, that's it?
That's what you get.
That's your number one deck.
Come on, seriously.
That's at least a double.
That's why I was, I wasn't, but it is a double.
That is definitely though.
That's the best you've got.
That was your number one item.
Do you notice also the other items on there?
Said boxes labeled A26.
T-S-S-E-I.
Yeah, when?
Were they T-S-S-E-I motorcade type routes?
Oh, you don't know that, Dan.
Exactly!
Either this Kendallanian saying it's spy satellites.
That's the point!
But there's a way to find out, Joe!
They could tell us!
And release the affidavit as well!
But they won't.
So is Kendallanian right, or am I?
They have nuclear spy satellite information or whatever?
They do?
Well, why isn't that leaked out yet?
That's really strange.
They've leaked out everything else.
Trump's asking for you to put it out there, yet you won't.
Does it sound like Trump's guilty or you?
Tucker Carlson last night summed up this charade beautifully.
He came back last night.
He was on vacation.
His monologue was 23 minutes long.
It was worth every second.
Obviously we don't have 23 minutes, but here's about a minute and 10 seconds summing up this joke of a raid that at this point to anyone, any sane person, which doesn't include the left, This was clearly a warrant for investigating a person in search of a crime which is clearly against the constitutional requirements.
Check this out.
Federal paramilitaries don't show up at your house when you violate the Presidential Records Act.
And in fact, as we later learned, the actual warrant for the raid, which was signed by an openly partisan judge who, because you couldn't make any of this up if you tried, once represented Jeffrey Epstein's side in the famous underage sex case, that judge, that judge allowed the FBI to seize virtually every piece of paper in Donald Trump's house, whether or not it had ever been classified.
They took Roger Stone's clemency order, for example.
That had been on the front page of the Washington Post, so it was therefore probably not a secret.
Apparently, the feds even walked off with Donald Trump's passports, preventing him from leaving the country.
So whatever else this raid was, this raid was not about the Presidential Records Act.
That explanation is absurd.
It's almost as ridiculous as the claim that the White House knew nothing about the raid before it happened.
Right?
Please.
If they're going to lie to us, they ought to try a little harder.
Sums it up so well.
This was so clearly a pretext here, folks.
They had nothing.
Remember, in a constitutional republic, we investigate crimes in search of people.
We don't investigate people.
In search of crimes.
That is so clearly what's happening.
Let me add one final note before I get to another bombshell story about January 6th.
Gosh, I wish I had more time in today's show.
This is frustrating sometimes.
Love talking to you.
Fire everyone that has anything to do with this raid.
You understand?
Everyone.
Everyone involved should have known better.
Everyone involved weaponized their commission book, their badge, and their gun.
Everyone.
The administrative staff, the managers, the agents, everyone.
There is zero excuse for this type of behavior.
And for you to have not shown enough sound judgment, to have said, I'm not doing this, says you don't have the integrity to continue this job.
And I am not backing down from that, no matter what.
I walked away because of precisely things like this.
It's time you did it, too.
If people started resigning tomorrow, this stuff would stop.
Ball's in your court.
When they get in charge, they should fire everyone involved.
No exceptions.
All right, let me get to my last sponsor and end this January 6th story from Darren Beattie.
It's just him and Julie Kelly.
Don't go anywhere.
Folks, this is our lead story today at Bongino Report.
Darren Beattie from Revolver sent this over.
We're trying to get him on the radio show later today as well.
This story is a monster.
January 6th, pipe bombers, mechanical timer detonates the Fed's erection lie.
Folks, there's a lot of material in this.
Let me get to first this video.
This is Capitol Police Chief at the time, Stephen Son, testifying in front of Congress.
Leading you to believe that these pipe bombs that were allegedly planted in front of the DNC, the Democrat National Committee, and the RNC, planted the day before January 6th, were planted as a diversion to get assets away from the rally, the January 6th rally.
And they were meant to be a distraction.
Now, why would they want to imply that these things were planted there as a distraction?
Think about it, folks.
You already know the answer.
Again, I got the smartest audience in the biz.
You send me the answers before I ask the questions.
The way to set up a narrative that this was a planned insurrection plan, worst insurrection since, uh, the worst attack on American soil since 9 11.
He's planning.
Planning requires what?
Planning means it's not extemporaneous, meaning things were done in advance.
Things were done, Joe, like planting a couple of bombs at the DNC or RNC, right?
You don't have to believe me.
Listen to Stephen Son, former chief of the Capitol Police, testify to this up at Capitol Hill.
What did you see that leads you to believe that this was a coordinated attack?
And I would like our other witnesses to engage in that as well.
Yeah, I'm able to provide you a quick overview of why I think it was a coordinated attack.
One, these people came specifically with equipment.
You're bringing climbing gear to a demonstration.
You're bringing explosives.
You're bringing chemical spray, such as what Captain Mendoza talked about.
You're coming prepared.
The fact that the group that attacked our west front Attacked our west front 20 minutes, approximately 20 minutes before the event over at the Ellipse ended, which means they were planning on our agency not being at what they call full strength, you know, watching the other events saying, hey, that event's ending, okay, everybody get on post, they're gonna be marching our way, knowing that we may not be at full strength at that time.
And then also the fact that we were dealing with two pipe bombs that were specifically, you know, set right off the edge of our perimeter to, what I suspect, draw resources away.
I think there was a significant coordination with this attack.
You see how he's setting it up?
That this was coordinated.
Because the only way you're going to plan an insurrection is if some planning went into it.
But there's a problem with these planted pipe bomb stories.
Darren Beatty's piece at Revolver is an eye opener.
I got five screenshots from this.
He has five facts about the pipe bomb.
I may go into a little more detail on this in the podcast tomorrow as well.
But I'm going to tee this up for you today.
So if this was planned, in other words, as Steven's son and others are implying that a bunch of MAGA people who planned an insurrection at the Capitol and planted distractionary devices to get assets away from the Capitol so they could attack it.
Then that would require that they intended these things to go off at some point, correct?
Well, here are five facts Beattie points out in his amazing piece.
This is in my newsletter, Bongino.com slash newsletter.
Don't do anything today without reading this.
The five facts are, number one, the pipe bombs, according to the same Capitol police chief you just saw, were planted as a diversion to distract law enforcement shortly before 1 p.m.
when the breach of the Capitol's perimeter was just getting started, 1 p.m.
January 6th.
According to the official timeline, the breach started just one minute after Capitol Police were informed about the pipe bombs, just two to three city blocks away.
So official timeline?
Wow, sounds like a planned insurrection to me, Joe.
They think the breach of the Capitol starts and they're like, oh my gosh, there's pipe bombs out there.
Distraction.
Sounds terrible.
Yeah.
Here's point number two, Beattie makes.
Well, if that's the case, Since the pipe bomber used an old-fashioned mechanical timer with a one-hour maximum time setting, you know, like an egg timer for an hour, but planted the bombs at roughly 8 p.m.
the night before January 6th, 17 hours before they were found.
Mechanical.
It's an egg timer.
It's not remote.
It's an actual winder up.
You gotta buy one of these.
I'll show you.
Mechanical leg time.
Any of you seen them?
So if it was meant to be a distraction because it's a planned insurrection, air quotes, where the bomb was supposed to go off as sun than those seem to imply at one o'clock on January 6th, then why the hell did you planted 17 hours earlier with a one hour mechanical timer?
Well, Dan, they plan to go back at noon and reset the timer.
Or set it for them.
Well, why not just plan them at noon?
Oh, I don't know.
I haven't thought that through.
Of course you haven't.
You're a liberal.
It's Case Weirdski out.
Because it's just so strange.
Takeaway number three.
The pipe bombs were constructed with no No remote detonation ability.
In other words, there wasn't some electronic device set to go off.
It was a literal mechanical timer.
Meaning their purpose as a diversion relied solely on the luck of it being found at the right time between noon and 1 p.m.
to match the one-hour timer appearing to target the 1 p.m.
congressional certification vote.
You get what he's saying there?
If the bomb was actually designed to go off as a distraction, Joe, and it had a one-hour timer, when would you have to plant the bomb?
Uh, noon?
It wasn't able to be detonated remote!
It was a mechanical timer!
It doesn't make any sense!
Why would you leave it 17 hours before if it was a distraction set to go off at one o'clock?
This case stinks to the heavens.
Takeaway number four.
The first pipe bomb was found at 12 40 p.m.
with 20 minutes left on the timer.
Perfectly matching the exact timing needed to, quote, divert police as the breach began at 12.50 and to convince police the bomb was timed to the 1 p.m.
congressional vote.
Oh, man.
Come on, Josh.
So it's locked at 20 minutes.
The timer's locked with 20 minutes to go for the liberals.
It's a 60 minute timer, 40 minutes of the lapsed on the timer, and it was stuck at 20 minutes to go.
All of a sudden at 1240, right as this is going down, somehow they magically find this thing with 20 minutes to go.
Well, look, it's 1240.
What?
It went off right at the same time.
1 p.m.
of the Capitol breach.
What a distraction.
Point number five, as I just said, I kind of teed this one up.
The timer didn't just have 20 minutes left.
It was left stuck on the 20 minute dial.
Let me tell you my, Theory on what's going on here.
Folks, I believe enemies of Donald Trump.
I don't know who, and it wouldn't be fair to throw a name or a group out there while speculating, but let me leave it open-ended on this.
There are enough enemies of Donald Trump.
You know who they are.
There are various groups out there who hate Donald Trump.
Unfortunately, way too many.
I think they suspected that the next day would get spicy, January 6th.
Just giving you the straight take.
Take it or leave it.
I don't think they expected to happen what happened, but they expected something spicy.
They were afraid that there may be some significant objections to the electoral counts based on some Donald Trump and their supporters, their claims that they were fraud in these states.
I think they were scared that some of these senators, that a large swath of Republican senators and House people would go along.
So I think their insurance policy I think their insurance policy, I use those terms deliberately, those two words.
I think their insurance policy, these enemies of Donald Trump, was to plant these two explosives the day before, set the timers for 20 minutes, and when they saw things started to get bad, that they would call this in so they would have an insurrection narrative to use later on in the event Donald Trump won his challenge using the Electoral Count Act on that day.
I haven't said that theory.
It's a theory again.
I'm speculating, but I'm speculating based on a mound of evidence that these things I don't believe were planted by Donald Trump's MAGA supporters as a distraction.
I believe they were planted as Donald Trump's enemies.
As a backup plan to show that there was a planned terror attack, and that's how Donald Trump won if he were to win his Electoral Count Act challenges, where they would have sent it back to the states.
Doesn't mean it would have won the presidency, it would have meant it would have went back to the states for review.
Do you get my point?
Does that make sense?
Yeah!
Now, what makes me think that it's not a Trump supporter?
Because it appears to me that the FBI doesn't want to find this guy.
As Darren Beattie knows the bomber, that is.
Darren Beattie notes in his piece, the DNC bomb, there's a money shot video the FBI won't release.
No one in the January 6th committee saying they want to get to the bottom of this has brought up the bomber.
Why?
Supposedly the key to the entire insurrection.
Strange, right?
That tipped Aaron Beatty from this piece.
I want to go back to this interview conducted with an FBI official who was leading the investigation.
He's a whole other story.
I'll get to another time, but here's an interview by a guy by the name of Scott McFarlane and the FBI officials like, yeah, yeah, listen, uh, you know, some of these people probably have cameras in their yards or something.
Probably notice how he says this.
Joe, then maybe they should probably go ask and get those cameras, wouldn't you?
Wouldn't you think?
Yeah!
That's like Joe saying, uh, hey Joe, you gonna process my podcast and get it out?
Yeah, probably.
Maybe.
I probably have the software.
Well, that's what you do.
Like, maybe do that.
Like the FBI, that's what you do.
Notice how this guy said, oh yeah, they could have had cameras.
It's weird how he doesn't seem to be interested in actually going and getting them.
Listen to this.
The silver bullet for that might really be the people in that neighborhood.
Correct.
People in the neighborhood, um, you know, if there are areas of, uh, that we've canvassed a lot of the neighborhood, we've talked to, you know, a lot of, uh, neighbors and people that are in or around that area.
Um, but there might be cameras we're missing.
There might be cameras that people have on their, their back, um, porch.
Yeah, there might be cameras missing.
Yeah.
Maybe, maybe go look at the back porch.
Just, just kind of, you know, do FBI stuff.
Just, just an idea, but you wouldn't do that if you didn't want to find who the bombers were.
As I said, folks, I'm starting to believe this was the insurance policy in the event Donald Trump won some of his objections via the Electoral Count Act, that they were going to claim, this is a terror attack.
It's an ongoing insurrection.
