In this episode, I address the stunning admission by the Biden Administration that should lead to his impeachment.
News Picks:
Our debt situation is growing dire.
Demand for riskier home loans is increasing. Sound familiar?
Inflation comes in hotter than expected.
Who is going to buy all of this US debt?
Shipping volume is dropping like a rock. This is a bad sign.

Thanks, American Financing. All right, Joseph, let's go, Daddy. And
away we go. Yes, sir.
We do a very, very stacked and loaded show today.
Let's get right to it.
Alejandro Mayorkas, our dreadful DHS secretary, a man who is, ironically, this may be one of the first human beings in the history of employment with the United States government, Whose stated job he has done the exact opposite.
There are people who haven't done their jobs.
There are people who've done their jobs poorly.
And then there are people whose jobs are literally to secure the homeland.
I mean, the guy's title is the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
Secure the homeland.
It's actually in the title.
This may be one of the few people in the history of the United States who accepted this job.
Swore to do it, swore to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and then made the homeland intentionally less secure!
How this guy is still in his job, this incompetent nincompoop!
He's not even incompetent.
He's an actively malicious, malfeasant, not misfeasant actor.
How this clown is still in his job is insane.
When we take back the Senate and the House, if this guy isn't impeached, starting just a couple weeks after, let him get in their office, let him settle down.
This guy needs to be impeached immediately.
Immediately.
Like yesterday.
Sit down, give it a few weeks, pick your staff, impeach this imbecile.
Here's what I'm talking about.
Keep in mind, this is a DHS secret there.
Here's a report that broke yesterday on Fox News.
Apparently a conservative think tank got a hold of some emails.
Remember the whipping incident?
Which, as we predicted, remember that one, Joe?
With the rage, yeah.
I hate playing, yeah.
Whip the migrants, whipping them.
Slavery, racism, whip them and everything.
Oh my god, we whip people at the border?
That sounds horrible.
Border Patrol were whipping Haitian migrants?
My gosh, it's like slavery, Bull Connor, Jim Crow, all the ridiculous analogies went out.
Remember that?
Yeah.
Yeah, we called it for what it was at the time, a BS story.
And we actually told you that the photographer who took the dreaded whipping photos, I use air quotes there, had said that that's not exactly what happened.
But that didn't matter to Mayorkas, our DHS secretary, or to Biden.
These are character-free jellyfish with no dignity whatsoever.
These are genuinely evil people.
Keep in mind, it's not that they're not good people.
They are genuinely evil people who destroyed the lives of these border patrol agents because they thought they could get a convenient narrative to racially divide America.
Here's what broke yesterday.
They got a hold of some emails.
Not only was the whipping incident false, as predicted, As we said, if you listen to this show, you're way ahead of these morons in the news.
Not only was the story verifiably false, Mayorkas and Biden knew the story was false and ran with it anyway.
Anyway, here's a report from Fox News yesterday.
Check this out.
An email obtained through a records request reveals that DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was privately alerted by DHS officials that the whipping narrative behind the infamous horseback border patrol photos wasn't true.
But at a press conference hours later, Mayorkas didn't stop or dispute that narrative.
The email was obtained by the Heritage Foundation, which filed a Freedom of Information Act request with DHS seven months ago, seeking all DHS communications about the incident with the horseback agents in Del Rio, Texas last summer.
Now, last week, DHS finally produced an initial batch of emails, including one from September 24th, 2021, the same day President Biden said this.
To see people treated like they did?
Horses barely running them over, people being strapped?
It's outrageous.
I promise you, those people will pay.
Now hours after the president's comments, Marcia Espinoza, DHS's top public affairs official, sent this email to Secretary Mayorkas and other DHS officials at 12.05pm.
In the email, Espinoza sends Mayorkas a news article and literally highlights that the photographer who took the infamous whipping photos said in an interview that things aren't what they seem with his photos, that he and his colleagues never saw agents whipping anybody, and that his images were being misconstrued.
But two and a half hours after receiving that email, Mayorkas joined a press conference at the White House where he failed to dispute the whipping narrative that President Biden and other politicians were pushing.
It's really, it's just stunning.
Guy just said it.
We were watching this together, all of us, and Guy's like, this is the single dumbest story we ever covered.
It was so transparently obvious.
If you just looked at the photos the photographer produced, they were reins on a horse.
That anyone who's ridden a horse, not me, but people who had came out right away and said, that's how you actually guide the horse.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There were no whips.
It couldn't have been a whipping incident.
There were no whips and no one was strapped.
They were guiding the horse.
This is the single dumbest story we ever covered.
The fact that the media then piled on, the disgusting, grotesque, racially divisive media, used this narrative then of the whipping of black Haitian migrants, a transparently false, obviously false story, to divide and inflame the country, shows you the manure spreaders and the filth we are dealing with.
These people are filth.
They do no homework at all.
They do fake journalism when a story benefits the left.
Racial division, whipping, no borders, immigration.
The country's in flames.
And then later on, they vaguely, mildly may try to clean up the mess in a transparent attempt to just kind of preserve their reputations later.
Folks, you know I'm not crazy about playing clips of myself, but this is the podcast.
This was on my radio show.
You don't listen?
You should check it out every day.
We'd appreciate it.
12 to 3.
Go to bondgio.com and you'll find a station near you.
This was on my radio show immediately after this thing happened, talking about the manure-spreading grotesque media that could have shut this thing down the second it happened.
By the way, one more thing.
I didn't even think of it.
It's not even in my... Where are the fact-checkers on this?
We have a body of losers, the Bill D. McCarthys of the world, the Louis Jacobsons, people with no lives living in mama's basements, right?
The Jacobreas, the dumbest guy in fact-checking.
We've got these group of idiots with no life skills at all.
You could have shut down a racially divisive narrative that could have set the country on fire.
You could have shut it down by doing a simple, basic fact-check.
Whipping?
There were no whips.
You could have contacted the Border Patrol agents and just asked what they were doing.
Instead, you wanted to watch the country burn because you're disgusting.
Disgusting people.
You gross me out.
Here's what I told you.
Again, a couple months ago, if you were listening to my show, you were ahead of this story.
But Mayorkas, again, wanted, make no mistake, this is an evil man.
This little lawn gnome, Mayorkas, is not a not good guy.
He is a genuinely evil human being.
He was told the story was bull stuff.
He was told.
And he went out and destroyed the lives using his megaphone of these border patrol agents because he's a piece of garbage.
That's why.
Here, listen to my take on it.
Again, you would have been way ahead of the information curve if you're not listening to the goons in the media.
Check this out.
You can count on people at NBC, of course, to spread fake news.
I mean, that's what they do best.
These are manure spreaders.
That's what they do.
You need fertilizer on your lawn, having a down day.
Maybe, Jim, your lawn's not as green.
I don't know what kind of grass you have in Texas.
In Florida, we have that, like, zoysia type.
It doesn't look very green.
I love Florida, but our grass is not the best.
You need, like, Bermuda or fescue, that deep Yeah, you know, like that Jim's got for me, that deep green.
I love that look, you know, that lush lawn.
Well, if you need a lush lawn, call NBC over.
They're manure spreaders.
They'll get you that green back.
All they got to do is show up on the lawn and manure spreads everywhere.
Here is a Shannon Petty piece.
Is that a real name on social media?
Again, spreading the narrative that a border agent, quote, swung his whip menacingly, charging his horse towards the men in the river.
We were trying to return to an encampment.
You know, guys, you know, it's not cool to play your own stuff.
It's kind of dorky.
Totally get it.
We break down the fourth wall in the show.
I'd like you to know what's going on in my head.
But this morning I remembered, I'm going through the show and I'm like, I remember just destroying these people because this story was so transparently false.
In other words, there was no plausible deniability.
See where I'm going with this.
There was no plausible deniability for the media, Joe, is where I'm going with it.
All you had to do was look at the picture.
Even with the collusion thing, I get it.
It sucked what they did.
And I know they did it intentionally, okay?
You got that?
So don't email me.
I'm not sending it in.
But at least they could plausibly deny it and say, well, the intelligence community told us he was colluding with the Russians and it was a pee-pee tape.
Even though the story was ridiculous, you know what I'm saying, Joe?
Like, there was like an off-ramp.
Well, we were told this story was such BS from the start.
You just had to look at the video or the picture.
That it was stunning.
That they just went with it anyway.
Alejandro, my ass kiss.
But big time!
Big time!
Biden's ass right in his face.
There you go, brother.
That's where I was going.
What a pathetic human being.
What a pathetic, sorry human being.
You had the pictures.
You had emails.
You had the freaking photographer at the scene saying that is not what happened.
And you did it anyway!
How does this idiot still have a job?
He was another...
A really, genuinely evil human being.
Here was Peppermint.
She's back.
Jen Psaki, who again will suffer no reputational damage for this at all.
She piled on the whole racist, whipping, slavery, Jim Crow, all of it.
She piled right on.
And then we're called out.
Remember this gem by Peter Doocy?
Given the opportunity to do the right thing.
She just couldn't take it.
You know, we don't do that on this show.
I've been very candid with you about a lot of my mistakes.
The vaccine, I've been talking about it for days.
People make mistakes.
It gives the show the authenticity you deserve.
I'm not going to be authentic and candid.
You're going to have to go listen to someone else.
I don't want phony.
You don't want phony either.
This is what a phony and a fake and a fraud looks like.
When she knew, her and the entire team knew, that they were destroying the lives of these Border Patrol agents.
Not only did they not retract their absurdities, they would not even apologize.
Because these people, again, I use this term all the time, this word, they have no human dignity at all.
Evil doesn't have dignity.
Evil is mercenary.
Take a listen.
There is a process and an investigation that's gone to the Department of Homeland Security.
migrants have been notified they will not face criminal charges.
So when is the president going to apologize to them?
There is a process and an investigation that's gone to the Department of Homeland Security.
I don't have any update on that.
The president said that they were whipping people, which would be a criminal offense,
and they've been told they're not going to be criminally charged.
And there was an investigation into that, and I'll let the Department of Homeland Security announce any conclusion of that investigation.
You accuse these officers of brutal and inappropriate measures now that they've been told they will not be criminally charged.
Will you apologize?
And Peter, there was an investigation into their behavior, so that investigation is playing out.
Whenever it's going to be announced, the Department of Homeland Security will announce that, and I'm sure we'll have a comment on it after that.
Ladies and gentlemen, when evil shows its face, please don't turn away.
This isn't some Michael Myers movie.
This isn't some, you know, Friday the 13th part 72 movie.
This is real.
This is what real evil in the real world looks like.
Psaki, Mayorkas, Biden, countless Democrat members of Congress and the Senate who could have very easily looked at these photos.
And said we have a border.
We asked our border patrol agents on horseback to patrol that border.
They did as much turning people around trying to cross the border illegally.
And let's accuse them of Jim Crow slavery whipping.
Can you...
On a side note, but not, can you think of anything worse?
Maybe accusing someone of being a child serial sexual predator.
Can you think of anything worse than accusing patriotic border patrol agents who've done nothing wrong of being slave masters, like whipping black slaves because of their skin color and torturing them?
I'm just curious.
I really can't think anything worse.
But the only thing I can think of worse is knowing that they're innocent and letting it go.
Yeah, good point.
Good point.
People who absolutely know it's BS and then do it anyway.
I mean, folks, when evil stares you in the face, please don't look away.
These people, I can't say this enough.
These people are, these Democrats, exactly who you think they are.
They tell you.
How is this?
How is this happening?
These people are evil.
They're not just not good people.
There is a difference.
I'm gonna, let me take a break from my first sponsor because I really, I know it's, he's like, it's early.
I know, I just, we don't have any set time for these in the show and I need to take a breather before I get to the next story because I don't want my blood pressure.
I seriously don't want to have a heart attack.
I'm not even joking with you.
My heart rate was like insane last night.
But here's what I got coming up next.
Again, it's not that they're just not good.
These are evil people.
They're evil and they show you they're evil.
We were told Trump should be impeached for a quid pro quo involving national security and a foreign government, Ukraine.
Biden is now out advertising a quid pro quo involving national security and a foreign government, Saudi Arabia, advertising it.
Because he has no fear of the media covering this honestly.
Or any leftists having any principles at all because they're evil.
I'll show you what I mean, coming up in a second.
This is genuine, genuine evil here.
Principles matter.
Folks, LifeLock, I had my identity stolen.
It was ugly.
They stole my credit card number.
They wound up buying a bunch of real estate programs.
Took me about a year to clean up the mess.
Don't let it happen to you.

All right.
Here's what I mean, getting back to this.
These people are who they say they are.
Don't be confused.
We were told Trump should be impeached for a deal with the Ukrainians, a deal, air quotes, involving military equipment transfers and Trump's demand for information on Hunter Biden.
The story we now know is true, ironically.
We were told that foreign quid pro quos were grounds for impeachment.
So here's something strange.
Let's start from the beginning.
I'm going to lay this out for you in unimpeachable, pun intended fashion.
Here's Biden on with Jake Tapper the other day.
Now, the Saudis have large deposits of oil, you know that, they're part of OPEC.
Now the Saudis have said we're going to start cutting back oil production.
We need oil above $100 a barrel.
Listen, the Saudis are not our friends.
I don't want oil to go up.
Everybody understand?
Point stipulated.
They are not our friends.
However, sadly, the Libs aren't our friends either, as they accuse people of whipping, as they refuse to develop our natural resources here and keep us hostage to the Saudis, who don't like us, by the way.
But here's an interesting take.
The Saudis have said, we're going to start reducing our oil supply.
So here's Biden openly talking about consequences.
And Jake Tapper said, hey, Democrats are talking about endangering Saudi national security here, too, because of this deal.
This gets really interesting.
Pay very close attention to the soundbite.
Check this out.
Do you think it's time for the U.S.
to rethink its relationship with Saudi Arabia?
Yes, and by the way, let's get straight where I went.
I didn't go about oil.
I went about making sure that we made sure that we weren't going to walk away from the Middle East.
We should, and I am, in the process when this House and Senate gets back, there's going to be some consequences for what they've done with Russia.
What kind of consequences?
Menendez says suspend all arms sales.
Is that something you'd consider?
I'm not going to get into what I'd consider and what I have in mind, but there will be, there will be consequences.
This is unbelievable.
We were just told that threatening national security, the national security of both us and other countries in exchange for a political favor was grounds for impeachment.
Yet Biden doesn't, it's not that he doesn't, he doesn't run away from the question.
He's proud of it.
He's advertising the fact that there will be consequences.
Now keep in mind, Biden could make a decision today to stop suspending oil leases in the Gulf, to allow the development of petro resources in Alaska, to approve the Keystone Pipeline, he could pressure liberal states to build refineries.
On the futures market, this would cut the price of gas instantly today.
He doesn't want to do that.
The Biden administration, which claims they hate oil and want to move to green energy, is now kissing the ass of the Saudis to get them to produce the oil they say they hate.
And then when they say, no, we're not going to produce that kind of oil, which Biden's green allies don't want them to produce anyway, Biden says, well, we're going to threaten your national security.
Wall Street Journal, huge story yesterday, went viral right away.
This part we hadn't heard of before.
Saudi Arabia defied U.S.
warnings ahead of OPEC Plus production cut.
You gotta read this story.
So apparently days before the announcement that Saudi and OPEC was gonna cut back on production, folks, U.S.
officials called their counterparts in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf producers with an urgent appeal.
Delay the decision for another month according to people familiar with the talks.
The answer from the Saudis, a resounding no.
So the Biden administration wanted to make sure that, okay, if you guys are going to delay oil production and we hate oil, just make sure you wait a month.
What is a month away?
Oh my gosh, the election, isn't it?
Have you guys heard about it?
Yeah.
Yeah, no, no, Joe.
I'm sorry.
Guy has a right.
He's trying to get the show back on track, Joe.
Guy is any good producer when he's like, please stop.
This is a waste of time.
Yes, please shut up.
It's a coincidence, Joe.
Yes, sir.
Please stop.
Guy's like, you have no evidence.
That is just, that's a total coinkydink that they wanted to put it off.
You're right.
We should get the show back on track.
Well, the Saudis thought otherwise.
You can see from the second screenshot from this piece here.
Saudi is, and by the way, I am not, I am as anti what the Saudis are doing as you could possibly imagine.
I don't want to pay more for gas either.
I'm just telling you the Saudis saw right through this.
Wall Street Journal reporting.
not mine. Saudi officials dismissed the request to delay it for a month, which they viewed as a
political gambit by the Biden administration to avoid bad news ahead of the US midterms,
on which control of Congress hangs. High gas prices and inflation have been central issues
in the campaign. This is just like, this is, this is, you know, when they tell you who they are,
get your arms around it and grasp it and look it in the face.
These people are the biggest frauds ever.
This is not hypocrisy, by the way.
Again, we can say it all we want.
If Donald Trump had done this, he'd be impeached again.
Correct.
Correct.
My father says that all the time.
Correct.
Whenever I ask him something, he doesn't say right.
He says, correct.
You are correct.
That's hypocrisy again.
It's not!
When you are a liberal tyrant in power, as I will say repeatedly, tyrants worship power.
Power is their endgame.
They will do what they want because they're in power.
It's not hypocritical to say, we love power and we'll abuse it.
They're actually very principled.
We will abuse power.
We don't care if it looks hypocritical.
You get it?
They don't care that they were on camera saying, yeah, we're going to impeach Trump for the exact same thing.
Quid pro quo involving weapons for a political benefit.
The exact same thing.
Here's Politico, by the way, who, again, doesn't make the connection at all.
Enough is enough.
Democrats rage at the Saudis over oil cut.
Vow to block weapon sales.
Weapon sales!
Now, we can get into a debate about Sunni-Shia battles and who we should be funding or not if anyone at all oversees.
You know me, I'm a non-interventionist in a lot of these spaces where I think some of these countries should be handling this on their own.
But we can argue that another day.
Seriously.
The point I'm just trying to make here is This is, the Saudis rely, they're one of our biggest purchasers of U.S.
provided weapons.
You may not agree with that.
But people who support that, not necessarily me, but people who support that, believe that they become a bulwark and an obstacle against an Iranian takeover of the region.
Just leave, please, we can argue that another day.
I'm simply suggesting to you that there's no question that this would materially impact our national security situation.
For the better or the worse, you can argue.
But we were told when that happens, in exchange for a political favor, that that is definite grounds for impeachment.
Were we not?
Political, again, does not make the connection.
It's just so freaking strange.
But no worries, folks.
At ease, man.
Everybody take a deep breath.
Finally, a Democrat Senator stood up, Joe.
I know you feel better.
He cut this.
He was very relieved, too.
Democrat Senator Chris Murphy realizes the hypocrisy of this.
And here's what he said about Biden jeopardizing our national security to get a political favor from a foreign country, the Saudis.
He finally stood up and we appreciate it.
Thank you, Chris Murphy.
Check this out.
It's a critical moment for the nation.
If the president can get away with this, then there's really no stopping him from using any of the awesome power of the executive branch in order to punish his political opponents.
I have historically not called on the House to begin impeachment proceedings.
I'm rethinking my position on that matter.
And I think there are a lot of people who are doing the same thing today.
I don't think he got the joke, Joe.
Folks, I'm kidding.
He's talking about Trump.
Did you really?
Did you think?
That's hilarious.
He thought that the joke even worked on Guy.
That's him talking about Trump.
You could play that exact cut today and apply it to what the stunt Biden tried to pull with the Saudis.
Where's Chris Murphy?
Folks, I have a request.
Take that cut, please.
The Washington Post has it.
It's all over the place.
Take it.
Take it for my show.
I don't care.
Take the show.
Take the cut.
And spread that around and ask Chris Murphy how he feels about this pulling weapons from the Saudis because Biden wanted a political favor on oil and gas.
I'd like you to get Chris Murphy on the record.
That's hilarious.
He goes to be doing that while Paulette's playing.
You know, plays during the show, folks.
Rarely, if ever, does it.
Not only because there's a technical hiccup.
And Guy goes to me, Dan, that's strange.
Isn't this guy a super lib?
I'm like, bro, you don't get this?
That's so funny.
He goes, oh, I was busy cutting stuff.
I didn't even pay attention.
Yeah, I don't blame him.
That's him talking about Trump.
Yeah, right.
Well, it's true.
He could be talking about Biden today.
I'm going to play one more cut.
Let me take a quick break.
But there's nothing new here with Biden.
You understand, abusing his name with his son to take money from the Chinese Communist Party.
Quid pro quo is my name for influence, for money.
Threatening to fire people and impact the national security of a country.
Prosecutors because they're investigating his son.
None of these quid pro quos, the one he was talking about with the Saudis, are new for Joe Biden.
None of them.
This is Joe Biden's entire life.
The man has no actual skills.
His entire life has been taking his last name and his position and abusing it for his own personal advantage.
I mean, I'll show you an oldie but not so goodie coming up after this break.
You remember this one.
Then he got caught again, by the way, Biden, in another lie about his life.
And the guy can't stop lying.

Okay, here's what I mean.
Quid pro quos and abusing his powers, nothing new to this guy.
Remember this one?
Here's Biden at the Council for Foreign Relations describing how when he was the point man in Ukraine, That he engaged in a corrupt deal to have a prosecutor fired.
He admitted this on tape that he held up USAID, which is what he's trying to do again with the Saudis in exchange for a political favor, right?
This guy's unbelievable.
Here he is admitting on digitally recorded video for everyone to see forever that he threatened to withhold aid to get a prosecutor in Ukraine fired.
A prosecutor who was investigating his son Hunter for now what we know are illicit foreign influence deals.
Strange.
Trump was impeached for investigating Biden's corruption.
Biden was never impeached or even remotely, you know, cut down a notch for doing this.
And now he's doing it again and the media strangely quiet.
Remember this one?
I was not I, but it just happened to be that was the assignment I got.
I got all the good ones.
And so I got Ukraine.
And I remember going over convincing our team or others to convincing us that we should be providing for loan guarantees.
And I went over I guess the 12th, 13th time to Kiev, and I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee.
And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor, and they didn't.
So they said they were walking out to the press conference and said, no, we're not going to give you the billion dollars.
They said, you have no authority.
You're not the president.
The president said, I said, call him.
I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting a billion dollars.
I said, you're not getting a billion.
I'm going to be leaving here.
I think it was, what, six hours?
I look, I said, I'm leaving in six hours.
If the prosecutor's not fired, you're not getting the money.
Oh, son of a bitch.
Got fired.
Again, you see why I'm constantly emphasizing it ad nauseum to the point where you probably had enough?
About how this isn't hypocrisy to them.
It is hypocrisy, but not to them.
It isn't how it's power.
People who talk like this openly in public about abusing his position as vice president to get a prosecutor looking into his son fired in exchange for taxpayer money.
People who do it, people laughing in the background.
They think it's hilarious.
He's bragging about it on video.
This is what power looks like when you're a tyrant with absolute power.
No one from the media, academia, the entertainment community, or the swamp is ever going to question you because you're a Democrat.
You're a protected class.
That is power.
That's raw power.
That he's on, again, video bragging to Jake Topper about a political consequence to a political decision to a questionable, but some people would argue, US ally.
Man, bro.
That's power.
If only Republicans had such power.
But we can't, because we have an emergency break.
Our emergency break is God-given rights, and God-given rights don't allow us, if you're a decent and solid conservative and a moral human being, to abuse people like Democrats do.
It's sad to watch, folks.
This is why, again, I get emails sometimes, Dan, enough with the hypocrisy thing.
No, it's never enough.
You need to understand your enemy.
People who think they're hypocrites don't talk like this in public.
Being a hypocrite has an obvious negative connotation.
They don't see it that way.
You need to get in their heads.
They see power.
That's their endgame.
He's bragging about it.
He loves it.
The best example I can give you that you need to tattoo onto your cerebral cortex is when the Che Guevara's and the communists of the world put their political opponents up against the wall and shot and killed them.
They didn't care one bit that the families of those people thought it was hypocritical that they were killed while Che Guevara's allies were given all the spoils.
They didn't care.
They just killed him.
That's what power looks like.
I'll tell you what power looks like, too.
Joe Biden cannot tell the truth about anything about his autobiography and his life.
He just lies all the time.
Do we need to go through the list again?
The Amtrak story.
The fire in the house story.
Arrested with going to see Nelson Mandela story.
His Puerto Rican heritage.
He was Jewish or he was going to Saturday services.
No evidence of any of this.
What were some other ones?
He was part of the civil rights movement.
He graduated top of his class.
No, three degrees.
I may have said seven.
Three degrees, double major, whatever.
Nothing this... Yes, thank you.
Any more?
Any more?
Hold on.
Polling the audience.
Give him a few minutes.
He'll think of a few more.
Raised by Puerto Ricans?
Is that something like that?
Yeah, the Puerto Ricans.
I said that.
You missed that one.
Yeah, yeah, sorry, we weren't paying attention.
Puerto Ricans, we got that.
Puerto Ricans, he's Jewish, civil rights leader.
Nothing this guy tells you is true.
Now, I'll say it again, all politicians lie.
My issue with Biden is not that he lies, all politicians lie.
My issue is that he lies about everything, all the time.
You can never believe this guy.
He did it again yesterday.
And he did it again about an issue I know on this show to all of us means a lot.
Folks, we love our military.
We love our good law enforcement officials out there.
A lot of them.
We love them.
We don't like them.
We love them.
I was one of them.
And I adore you guys for putting your asses on the line for the rest of us.
And listen, having been a cancer patient myself, cancer is a really crappy, awful thing.
And these guys went through it with me.
It was really terrible.
And it's a scourge.
His son, Beau, did die of cancer early, tragically, and a really tough form of cancer, brain cancer.
And you know what?
Burying a kid, I don't care how awful of a human being Joe Biden is, burying a kid, I wouldn't wish on my, honestly, my worst enemy.
But folks, to take advantage of a situation like that, and just to continue to lie to people about your backstory, to make it a, I don't know what you're trying to do, I don't understand why he continues to do this.
He's told this lie that his son, Beau, who died tragically, but did not die in Iraq, over and over and over again.
He served in Iraq?
Could there have been some connection to something that happened in Iraq and the brain cancer?
Maybe.
Don't know.
Unlike media people out there, I don't jump to conclusions like people got whipped at the border.
But he did not die in Iraq.
He died in 2015 at Walter Reed.
He did not die in Iraq.
Why does Joe Biden keep telling this story?
The man cannot stop lying.
Here, listen for yourself.
Just imagine, I mean it sincerely.
I say this as a father of a man who won the bronze star, the conspicuous service medal and lost his life in Iraq.
Imagine the courage, the daring, and the genuine sacrifice.
Genuine sacrifice, they all made.
You know, Guy brought up a good point, but something I just caught on that too.
He did this verbal tick, Joe, he does all the time.
Whenever he tells you he's not joking, it's not hyperbole, or he means it sincerely, it's a verbal tick he has.
It means he's almost always lying.
I mean it sincerely.
My son died, he did not die in Iraq.
You know, and Guy brought up a good point.
He's like, and the guy's lies are so inconsequential.
Your son died, tragically.
Just tell the story.
The story speaks for itself.
It speaks for, as I've said about Hunter Biden's crack problem, you know, the story speaks for itself.
The struggle, the son and the father with the crack problem, right?
The fact that Joe Biden injected him into international business dealings that have a hint of illicit or corrupt nature to them.
Joe Biden made his kid part of the story, not us.
But if you're going to tell Bo's story, which is a tragic one, just tell the story.
Just tell the story, man.
You don't need to lie all the time.
Folks, the guy has zero, zero credibility.
I can't tell you this enough.
This is the most corrupt human being to ever enter the White House.
Ever.
Listen to me.
There's not even a close second.
Make the point on my Fox show this weekend, too, about just that.
All right, I got an election update and an economy update.
Very, very, very important economy update.
You just need to be aware.
I'm trying to panic anyone, but you need to be aware.
Let me get to my last sponsor first.
Getrefunds.com.
If you own a business, it's been a bumpy ride.
Pandemic, inflation, you could use a break.
You know what I'm talking about.
If your business has five or more employees and you managed to survive COVID, you could be eligible to receive a payroll tax rebate of up to $26,000 per employee.
It's not a loan.
There's no payback.
It's a refund of your taxes.
The challenge is getting your hands on it.
How do you cut through the red tape and get your business the refund money?
You go to GetRefunds.com.

Okay, election updates, importance coming up in 26 days.
Andy Fox show keeps the cookie up at the bottom.
Countdown to all I have to do is look up.
Countdown to 26 days.
No math necessary.
It's 26 days.
I'm going to bug you again like I do every day.
My apologies in advance.
If you're not registered yet to vote, do it yesterday.
If you don't plan on voting, ask yourself why.
And if you are voting, take 10 people with you, please.
Okay, pitch done.
Sorry to keep annoying you about it.
We've got to win.
Country's at stake.
Here's one of the reasons we've gotta win.
I heard someone say the other day, I was chatting with a guy in the gym, I'd say about a week ago, precision matters, and the guy said, well, it wouldn't be too bad, looks like we're gonna win the House, which it does, knock on wood, looks like the House of Representatives is gonna go our way again, knock on wood, they're gonna be presumptuous, don't wanna get ahead of myself.
But he said, even if we lose the Senate and it's 50-50, which would be still an effective Dem majority, because Vice President Harris would be the tie-breaking vote, or it's 51-49, the Democrats hold it.
He's like, it's no big deal because it would have to, any bill would have to pass both houses of Congress and the Republicans will just shut it down.
And I made the point, I said, listen, that's not true.
If we lose the Senate, the Senate has very, you know, exclusive responsibilities and exclusive jurisdiction over a number of items, including the nomination process.
And he's like, oh, I didn't think of that.
Well, sure enough, playbook, political playbook, the lefty hotbed of liberal activity picked up on this exact point this morning.
About the stakes in the midterms.
Talking about the real midterm prize for the Democrats.
Command of the judicial wars.
Ah, sounds like something I told that guy in the gym.
You know who you are.
In the Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Democrats held a mid-October hearing for six of President Joe Biden's picks for lifetime court appointments.
Court appointments that are going to affect your life, folks.
Only two senators physically attended and a big question that hung over the proceedings.
Will Biden's party have two more months to approve his judges?
Or two more years?
That guy was not being obnoxious or rude.
I just don't think he considered that.
Folks, candidly, if I had a choice, if I'd rather have the Senate than the House, this is a big deal.
The Laxalt race.
The Hershel Walker race.
The Dr. Oz race.
The Blake Masters race, the Tiffany Smiley race, the Don Baldick race.
These are critical races.
I'm sorry if I'm leaving people out, it's not intentional.
You must show up.
We're not gonna win by osmosis.
J.D.
Vance did a great job in the debate.
You gotta show up.
Here's another, I'm making this, this is not some stretch here.
This is part of the election update for a reason.
Down here in Florida, in Martin County, where I am, there was not a... Turnout usually sinks when there's not a headliner race in primaries.
You understand why, right?
If Trump or DeSantis were on the ballot, say, in a competitive primary, people who love them are going to show up in the primary to get them through the primary.
Pretty simple, right?
When there's not a headliner race on the ballot, which we didn't have, DeSantis had no primary opponent at all in Florida, turnout's down a lot.
And Democrats did have a competitive primary on the ballot.
They had the Charlie Chris Nicky Freed primary for the Democrat nomination for governor.
I bring all this up because we should not have won the school board races that happened during the primary season that we did here in Martin County.
But we did.
We cleaned the deck.
We should have lost.
You get why, right?
Republicans weren't showing up, or weren't supposed to.
But they did.
Because school board races matter.
And parents are really, really pissed off.
This is just, this is just gold.
Here is a parent out in California, just saw this on social media today, who just brings it to the school board, talking about, quote, family-friendly drag shows.
And she makes a good point.
What else is family-friendly if you just throw the family-friendly logo on it?
Fascinating, isn't it?
This is great.
This is going to be, this is going to be, I believe, the decisive factor in this coming election.
Pissed off parents.
Check this out.
I just want to know what it is that makes a drag show family-friendly.
Because if you follow it to its logical conclusion, you can slap family-friendly titles on anything.
You can have family-friendly gentlemen's clubs, family-friendly strip shows, family-friendly Fifty Shades of Grey read-alouds.
Will you approve my flyer if I want to host in all the sex secrets of the Kama Sutra for kids and families?
It's family friendly.
That's my question.
What is it about a grown man?
And I honestly, sincerely, as a woman, mean this.
What is it about a grown man?
Costumed in a sparkly bra with augmented boobs, busting out a leather miniskirt, barely covering his twerking ass with tuck tape on his front while spreading his fish-netted legs as he writhes on the ground, grinding his groin next to a minor.
Family-friendly.
You owe us an answer.
And you know, you don't get to hide by just taking something down off Peachtree and calling it a day.
You owe an explanation and an apology.
Yeah, you're darn right.
Good call.
I don't know who that is, but good for you, ma'am.
Good for you.
I'm telling you, this is going to change the election this year.
And the good news is Republicans and conservatives on a mass scale are finally getting it.
And it's not the top of the race that matters the most.
It's the bottom.
Make your bed first.
Jordan Peterson says that in his book.
Clean up your school boards, your county and city councils, your mayor's races, then graduate up to state assemblies, your governor's race, and then we can worry about the presidency.
We can, you know, walk and chew gum at the same time.
But clean up your neighborhoods first.
It's happening now.
You're going to see parents showing up in droves in this election.
Fish netted stocking men twerking her asses in front of a bunch of young kids.
Nah.
Nah.
Okay.
So breaking just a few minutes ago, the inflation number came out.
The inflation number popped at 8.2%.
Still a ridiculously high number.
Not surprising.
The PPI number popped yesterday.
The producer price index popped at a stunning 8.4 percent.
Was expected to be 8.1.
In other words, your money is now worth less and less and less every month.
This is our economy update, folks.
We're going to motor through this quickly.
Unfortunately, I'm going to prepare you now.
None of it's good news.
I think after the election, we can start to turn it around.
I do believe we have a great economic future ahead of us.
Can I just say in a bit?
Just fast, fast, fast, fast.
I promise.
Just because I want to stay a little optimistic, even though this is bad news.
We're about to see major advances in AI.
Material science is blowing up.
We're seeing major, major connectivity around the world where previously what was third world countries that were isolated from the rest of the world due to internet connectivity are starting to get minds online.
These minds online are going to create more ways to create more stuff from fewer resources.
I'm telling you, we're on a verge of a very prosperous tomorrow.
However, today, right now, it's not very good and we can't ignore it.
Here's what I mean.
Story number one.
This is from Freightwaves.
It covers American shipping.
Here's a screenshot from this.
U.S.
imports sink in September, steepest drop since the 2020 lockdowns.
Down 11%.
People aren't shipping stuff to the United States.
Why?
Because people are stopping buying stuff.
Why?
Because inflation is making their money worth less, so they can't buy as much stuff.
It was the PPI number.
It came in yesterday.
In other words, this is what producers are paying for inputs.
It's what they're paying for the steel and the refrigerant before they sell you a refrigerator.
That's an end product.
You're paying on the consumer side.
That's what the CPI measures.
What's the problem with an elevated PPI, which popped hotter than expected, as you can see from the Washington Examiner at 8.4%?
The problem with that is those costs that they're paying are eventually going to filter down to you.
So you think inflation's bad now at 8.2%, it's only going to get worse.
Gas prices are going up again because of Biden's illicit impeachable quid pro quo with the Saudis jeopardizing national security.
Now, you'd think the Democrats would say, well, you know, we are floating on a sea of petrochemicals, the Gulf, Alaska, Texas, the United States, the Marcellus play up in Northeast United States.
We could develop some of that.
No, no.
Here's radical leftist nutbag Ro Khanna.
He's on Fox.
And notice how he blames everyone else around the world despite the fact that we are floating on a sea of petrochemicals.
Actual oil and gas.
Notice how the hike and supply problems are not our problem for not developing natural gas due to people like him.
It's everyone else's problem.
The bad news is, the approach this guy's taking is the standard approach for the left, which means gas prices in the future are going to stay where they are right now, which is Elephant.
Check this out.
Who do you blame for those high energy prices?
Well, there's no doubt.
I mean, gas is $6.50 in my district.
First, I blame the Saudis.
I mean, they are totally outrageous and ungrateful in cutting production and hurting the American people.
I do blame the Fed.
They were buying back corporate bonds and mortgages for way too long, printing way too much money.
And I blame Putin's war, which has aggravated supply chains.
And of course, the pandemic, which did that.
Now, I heard someone online this morning.
That hurt.
I read it, I should say.
Someone online wrote, well, at least Ro Khan is being honest about the role of the Fed.
No, no, that's not even honest.
By the way, nothing he said there is false.
The Vladimir Putin-Ukrainian war is definitely contributing to the gas crisis.
He's not wrong when he talks about the Saudis, you know, cutting back.
He's not wrong.
He's not even wrong about the Fed printing a lot of money.
But he's, It's like he's not blaming the disease, he's blaming the symptom.
He's like, man, you know, you've got lymphoma and you've got like a stomach issue.
We better fix that stomach.
Well, maybe fix the lymphoma.
They may be connected.
He doesn't get that.
Why do the Saudis have guns to our heads when it comes to oil?
Because we're not producing our own.
We have more oil than the Saudis.
When he talks about Putin, You understand that we have a sea of natural gas in the United States, and that liberals around the world push the Europeans not to take our natural gas through LNG facilities?
So they didn't.
So now they have to build them in an emergency.
That's the only reason he has this hostage.
And he doesn't ask the basic question, the Fed's printing a lot of money.
Why?
They're printing money to pay for the deficits.
Both swampy Republicans and liberals are running up.
Why do you think the Fed is printing money?
Amazing how they always miss the point.
Next article, Washington Examiner.
Deficits are horrible and getting worse.
Put it in context.
Great piece, doesn't it?
Be in the newsletter today.
Bongino.com slash newsletter.
Read this piece.
The Biden-Pelosi-Schumer deficits are a catastrophe.
Washington Examiner, Quinn Hillier.
Here, put this in perspective.
Barack Obama, the biggest American president deficit spender in human history.
Prior to what happened during COVID in the Trump administration and Biden, right?
Barack Obama, the king of deficits up until then.
The highest deficit when he, excuse me, the deficit when he left office was $587 billion.
Adjusted for inflation, to be fair, that's $720 billion.
You get it?
Obama left office, the deficit was $720 billion.
A catastrophic amount.
Think about it, Hilliard notes.
That's barely one half the size of Biden's deficit now.
That's insane.
Biden's claiming to be some kind of deficit cutter too.
They debunked that as well.
Deficit cutter?
It's like, what are you kidding me?
We went from $3 trillion in deficit after COVID, COVID spending.
A lot of it happened in the Trump administration too, to be fair.
The COVID thing was a disaster.
So you cut it down to half of that?
Are you serious?
And you're claiming you did that?
That's like running up on a $50,000 salary, $300,000 in debt, running up then $150,000 in debt the next year and claiming you did something great for your budget.
What's the problem with all this debt?
MarketWatch.
Who's going to buy it, folks?
We're looking at going bankrupt.
As we're running up all this debt, it becomes riskier to pay it back.
Joe owes $100,000, saying a $25,000 salary.
I'm not lending Joe any more money unless he's going to pay me 25% interest.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, the same thing's starting to happen to us.
MarketWatch.
Why questions are swirling about who will buy most of our 31 trillion in debt.
And at what price.
What do you mean, what price?
It means if we're going to loan money to people, we better pay a lot of interest because they're starting to take on a whole lot of risk.
But what does that mean?
That means interest rates go up, which means what?
Epic times!
Interest rates go up, that means the cost of your mortgage goes up, which means less people take mortgages.
Hence this article, Mortgage Market on Red Alert.
One is the speed of the Fed's interest rate hike.
Mortgage rates have risen and fallen throughout history, but very, very rarely have mortgage rate changes moved with the velocity seen over the last few months.
This has brought mortgage issuance to a screeching halt.
Sound familiar?
Something like this happened in the past.
And then as mortgage issuances screeched to a halt, banks wanted to make riskier loans because they got to make money.
And then people started paying higher interest loans they couldn't afford.
Joe, something like this happened before, right?
Yeah.
I think you and I lived through it.
Yes, the housing crisis thing was a little glitch in the economy.
CNBC, shocker!
Demand for riskier home loans is high as interest rates soar.
What did I say?
History rhymes or something?
A little echo to it.
I warned you.
And I'm wasting your time here.
All right, folks.
Thanks again for tuning in.
I really appreciate it.
