It's Friday!
Yes, sir, it is.
And you know I love Fridays.
Yes, sir!
This is a weekend off.
Don't miss my Fox show tomorrow night, unfiltered.
I've got another.
FBI whistleblower with some bombshell allegations about what they did about the January 6th hearing to make it appear That the white supremacist domestic terror threat was larger than it really is.
This one's gonna bake your bagels.
Don't miss that.
Tomorrow night, Saturday, 9pm.
Set your DVR if you can't make it out.
Feel good Friday first.
Come out of the shoot with a good one.
Yeah.
You know Todd Bowles, coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
Oh yeah!
So a white female liberal reporter, I guess infected with wokeism, don't know, decided to ask him a question.
Todd Bowles happens to be black.
The coach of the team he's playing, Mike Tomlin, happens to be black too.
Which again, to conservatives, You and Mike Tomlin are two of the few black head coaches in the league.
just prefer to judge you based on who you are? Kind of thought that was the
whole goal of you know tolerance and all that coexist stuff.
I don't know call me crazy. Todd Ball's answer is amazing and we had more of
this in the NFL maybe a lot of people who left like me would come back. I want you
to listen to his answer check this out. You and Mike Tomlin are two of the
few black head coaches in the league. I wonder what your relationship is like with them and your thoughts on Steve
Wilkes joining the NFL?
I have a very good relationship with Tomlin.
We don't look at what color we are when we coach against each other.
We just know each other.
I have a lot of very good white friends that coach in this league as well and I don't think it's a big deal as far as us being coaching against each other.
I think it's normal.
Wilk's got an opportunity to do a good job.
Hopefully he does it.
And we coach ball.
We don't look at color.
But you also understand that representation matters too, right?
And that when young aspiring coaches or even football players, they see you guys, you know, they see someone that looks like them, they can grow up like them.
That has to mean something.
Well, when you say you see you guys and look like them and grow up like them, it means that we're eyeballs to begin with.
I think the minute you guys start making a big deal about it, everybody else will as well.
Speaker 2 (1h 0m 50s): Is a white female reporter, Joe, them, they, you guys, you got, what do
you mean? It's a it's us guys. It's not you guys. Oh, they, them. It's just us. Good for
I don't know you.
I don't know the guy's politics.
I really don't care.
I respect what he said and good for you.
More of that, people start tuning back into the NFL.
Listen, their ratings are great.
I don't doubt that or dispute that.
But that's not the point.
The point is the ratings could be better because I know thousands of people, hundreds of people, Who just don't watch anymore.
Neither do their kids.
So it's really disappointing.
Don't alienate your customers.
Really good job, Todd Bowles.
So although I'm sure me saying a nice thing about Todd Bowles will get Todd Bowles negative attention too.
That's how sick the world we live in now.
Some guy you don't know said something nice about you.
Disavow him!
Immediately!
I've never met him.
Doesn't matter!
The kiss of death.
Yeah, I did it.
I mean, it's just so pathetic.
Alright, the weaponization of federal law enforcement.
Is now complete.
The most unsurprising, surprising story of the day.
The federal bureaucracy is now targeting who?
You're like, wait, let me guess.
Is there anyone?
Joe's like, is there anyone?
Left in the Trump ecosystem that hasn't been falsely investigated.
But he's like, no, I'm out of it.
Elon Musk, of course, of course.
Come on, guy.
Because Coach Stan used to say, of course, federal authority.
I don't know who they are.
The SEC or whoever, they're kind of opaque.
They suggest it's the SEC.
It's now, according to the Washington Examiner here, Twitter says Elon Musk is being investigated by federal authorities over proposed acquisition.
Okay, we now live in a de facto Soviet state.
We do!
Not open for dispute, libs!
Shut your mouths!
sit in a corner.
[Music]
[Humming]
You have no relevant opinion in this at all.
That was just your national anthem.
We know who you are.
Why is Elon Musk being investigated?
Elon Musk is being investigated according to at least his story and others out there who I've spoken to.
Because Elon Musk is about to buy Twitter and bring it back to a free speech platform.
That's why Elon Musk is being investigated.
It's really as simple as that.
Ladies and gentlemen, all threats will be neutralized.
That is the Soviet style.
All threats will be neutralized.
Anyone daring to speak out against the regime will be investigated immediately.
Why are they targeting Elon?
Well, they're targeting him because they want to stop free speech on Twitter.
And by the way, when I'm hearing from multiple sources, the purge has begun on Twitter.
A lot of people's accounts have been attacked in the last few days.
Our guy, Cat Turd, oh, it's got one of the most powerful people on Twitter.
You're laughing?
Ha ha, Cat, you're laughing.
It shows you're a moron.
You're not on Twitter.
Ha!
We get the last laugh on that one.
Underestimate the power of these accounts at your own peril.
There have been multiple attacks.
The purge has begun on Twitter.
I believe it's happening.
I don't know if you guys agree, because I understand Elon's about to take over.
If he does and buys it, the deal goes through.
And the platform is going to be turned, God forbid, into a free speech platform.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's going to take a long time to turn this ship around.
This censorship ship.
It's going to take a really long time.
A really long time.
It's going to take multiple presidential elections.
It's going to take attrition at the federal level.
We can fix it, but it's going to take a while.
Now, the attacks on Elon Musk are outrageous and are growing by the day.
This is how crazy the communist, socialist, anti-free speech, corrupted left is.
They hate free speech so much.
These totalitarian tyrant fascists.
They hated free speech so much.
They will do anything to stop people from speaking out on Twitter.
Here's the Washington Post chiming in.
Joe, this is the same memo with Trump.
Media, federal law enforcement combined, kissing each other's ass, ass in the face, to attack a target they don't like.
Right.
Here's the Washington Post.
Musk's appeasement of Putin in China stokes fears of new Twitter policies.
You see what they're doing here now?
You get it?
Again.
Again.
Here we go again.
Elon Musk.
He's being Russiagated.
Elon Musk.
He's a Putin guy.
God forbid people go to Twitter to speak openly and have an open discourse about Ukraine.
Folks, there are people out there exposing real problems in Ukraine.
Because Ukraine's under attack by terrorist Putin, doesn't mean there aren't problems in Ukraine that we should address.
We're giving them tens of billions and hundreds of billions of dollars in aid.
I'm entitled to know where it's going.
That aid, my wife said last night, she goes, Dan, you know, if we gave that $47 billion to Fort Myers Beach and Fort Myers, they could rebuild the whole town.
It's kind of fair to ask what's going on.
Look, here's the tell right here.
Here's the tell.
Here's the tell he's being Russiagated.
This is all about Ukraine.
Watch them pose.
First, he's given reasons that Elon Musk should be attacked and taken down.
First, given opposition to aiding Ukraine among some Republicans.
Musk's Twitter takeover and the reinstatement of Trump and some of his allies.
Here we go, Joe.
Would spread opposition further and divide the country, threatening Ukraine's backup.
Oh, here we go.
They give it up every time.
Here's the cookies, baby.
Here's the cookies.
So Elon Musk cannot be allowed to take over Twitter because God forbid You're allowed an open discourse on Ukraine and the military-industrial complex and everybody out there that's behind you and you're not allowed to ask any questions.
They don't like that.
They tell.
It's right there, folks.
Again, every day, you're not wasting your time here.
If you want to know what the left is thinking, just ask them.
They'll tell you every time.
They're too stupid to keep it quiet.
All right, moving on.
We got a ton of material on Friday.
I don't want to leave any of this.
My goal is to get through today's show.
We have a really good amount of material.
January 6th committee.
Yesterday conveniently started up again.
Yesterday.
Something else happened yesterday.
You think this timing was just a big coinkydink, by the way.
The January 6th committee decides, yes, we're going to get another little roundtable going for a national audience, a national audience of liberal kooks.
No one else is watching this thing.
The public now, on list of priorities for the election January 6th, Joe, on a 1 to 100 priorities is 97, I think, on average.
Nobody cares.
Nobody cares because you guys are liars on the committee.
Adam Kinzinger was probably crying yesterday as well.
Liz Cheney, who will have no congressional seat soon, thankfully, is sitting up there pouting like the little child she is, taking daddy's name.
Look at me!
I'm only important because of my last name.
I have no real responsibilities whatsoever.
There we go.
Every time, baby.
That was good.
Liz Cheney, that is live footage of Liz Cheney right now.
So, why do you think the January 6th committee Yesterday popped up again right before an election.
Oh, because it's right before an election.
That's one reason.
Here's a second reason.
A number was going to come out yesterday.
The number was the inflation number, the consumer price index.
Oh.
Not the producer price index that came out the day before, but the consumer price index.
You are the consumer.
In other words, what you're paying.
And it did come out yesterday.
So they need a little distracción.
That's Spanish for distraction.
Actually, it's not, but it's a good word anyway.
Distracción.
Here's what happened yesterday.
Here's Rick Santelli, who had a big role in the founding of the Tea Party.
Isn't that the guy?
I think he's the guy that was like the Tea Party guy at the beginning.
I gave that little rant.
Here's Rick Santelli on CNBC about the inflation number, and I want you to pay very close attention to something.
He talks about the core number.
The core number of the inflation number on the core is when they strip out food and fuel prices, okay?
So it's everything but fuel and food.
Why is that important?
Because the core number was the highest it's been in 40 years, and it's gone up.
Well, why else is that important?
Because ladies and gentlemen, the overall number went down because it included fuel prices.
Fuel prices are going to be going up given the decision by the Saudis and Biden's decision not to pump here.
You see my point?
If core inflation is going up without fuel prices measured in, and fuel prices are going up and have gone up, next month's number is going to be even worse!
For the CPI.
Here, listen to Santelli.
Year over year, strip out food and energy.
Also hotter than expectations!
Up 6.6.
That follows 6.3.
And 6.6 is a new high.
The old high was 6.5 in March.
That went back to 1982.
The old high was 6.5 in March, that went back to 1982.
Kind of bad, huh?
Now you see why the January 6th committee had a pop-up meeting.
Pop-up meeting!
Remember when you were a kid, Joe, you had gangs and stuff?
Time for a meeting!
What are you talking about?
I'm eating lunch.
I got my peanut butter and jelly, whatever.
Time for a meeting!
Now you see why the tent popped up quick and everybody had to jump into a meeting?
They needed a distraction.
If you're smart and you're reading that, you're like, my gosh, core without measuring fuel went up and fuel's going up now, so that means the overall number and the core could go up next month?
Yeah, that's exactly what that means.
Need a little distraction.
Let's meet and let's have Liz Cheney say she's going to subpoena Donald Trump to show up.
Great idea!
There's no chance Donald Trump's actually going to comply with this ridiculous unconstitutional subpoena.
But this is the fake phony fraud.
Daddy's little girl, Liz Cheney, no real responsibilities or skills at all before daddy's last name gave her a job.
Little crying, whiny, pathetic Liz.
Oh, look at me, we're gonna subpoena Donald Trump.
But they inadvertently during their hearing blew up their whole narrative.
This is great.
This is how desperate this pathetic committee is, which the second we take over the House in January, Republicans, knock on wood, I don't want to get ahead of my skis here, disband this abomination star chamber immediately.
So yesterday they were trying to put out two narratives during their hearing.
I'll play a quick cut for you coming up in a second, but the first narrative is Liz Cheney had to subpoena Donald Trump and the committee because they needed distraction from Joe Biden's disaster, and Liz Cheney needs Democrats to win because she's a goon and a hack, okay?
She's a Democrat.
She's in disguise.
So, one of the narratives he put out is, we'll subpoena Trump because he caused this, and it's a national emergency.
He needs to be subpoenaed immediately, right now.
Yet, as just a news article by John Solomon notes, The January 6th panel boomerang from yesterday.
Their hearing undercut two of their talking points.
They debunked their own hearing.
Here's the one on Donald Trump.
He says, first, they belatedly decided to subpoena Donald Trump and act as the committee plans no further hearings and will sunset after Christmas holidays.
The compressed timeline makes it difficult to get the former president's side of the story should he decide to testify.
You see what he's getting at, John Solomon?
You can read this piece of my newsletter today, by the way.
Bongino.com slash newsletter.
You see his point?
His point is Cheney was trying to make the point that it was such an emergency to get Donald Trump to speak because he caused this riot that was an insurrection, Joe!
Almost overthrew the entire country!
It was worse than Pearl Harbor.
Oh no.
And yet it's weird.
You guys are done until after the holidays and you waited to the end to subpoena him.
It's almost as if you waited before an election on a day with inflation bad news to put out a stupid talking point about a subpoena you know will never be enacted.
Weird.
Weird.
So weird.
It's almost as if Liz Cheney is a phony hack with no real life skills who's just using daddy's last name.
It's almost as if that's true.
Here's the second point.
The first point, Donald Trump, huge emergency.
Okay, why'd you wait?
The second point, Nancy Pelosi, man.
She had no control over this thing and no knowledge whatsoever about the security.
So, you know, the Democrats have this narrative that this was this planned insurrection, the worst thing since Pearl Harbor and 9-11.
Okay.
Well, Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House, why didn't she direct security up there?
Listen, I'm a security guy, it's a fair question.
If, you know, the Proud Boys and the MAGA crowd, Joe, and Donald Trump and the White House were planning to overthrow the government, then why didn't Nancy Pelosi, in conjunction with the Sergeant at Arms and the Capitol Police, secure the Capitol?
Oh no, you're not allowed to ask that question!
Solomon notes in his piece, second, the committee showed compelling video of Pelosi commanding the security apparatus of the U.S.
Capitol complex as it was under siege.
He notes the footage clearly contradicts Pelosi's earlier claim she had nothing to do with Capitol security.
Again, Joe.
Weird.
Weird.
The committee's up there.
Totally, right?
So strange.
Donald Trump is a threat to humankind.
Okay, why'd you wait till yesterday's subpoena?
The second one.
Nancy Pelosi had nothing to do with this.
She's free of any blame for the Capitol siege and the insurrection.
And yet they played footage yesterday showing Pelosi commanding these Capitol Police people to do stuff.
So strange.
Want to make it even more strange?
Here's this moron committee yesterday.
Adam Schiff, one of the dumbest human beings to ever get elected to Congress, not just this Congress or any Congress.
Here's Adam Schiff!
So Pelosi, who clearly did have a role in the capital security plan, she was a speaker, and said she didn't.
They also said, oh yeah, this was a planned insurrection and provided evidence yesterday.
Which is strange, because if Pelosi was supposed to be working with the Capitol Police, the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms, and other people to secure the Capitol, and had advanced knowledge it was going to be a security problem, it's kind of strange they did nothing about security.
You either did nothing because you're stupid, or you did nothing because you wanted it to happen.
I'm not suggesting the latter.
I'm simply suggesting, do you have an option C?
You knew there was going to be a siege and an insurrection, and you did nothing about it?
You're either dumb, or you wanted it.
Tell me option C. Here's Adam Schiff totally contradicting the narrative that this was some big surprise to Nancy Pelosi, suggesting, no, they had information 10 days out.
Check this out.
The Secret Service had advanced information more than 10 days beforehand Regarding the Proud Boys planning for January 6th.
We know now, of course, that the Proud Boys and others did lead the assault on our Capitol building.
On December 31st, agents circulated intelligence reports that President Trump supporters have proposed a movement to occupy Capitol Hill.
Okay, that sounds really bad, folks.
If that is in fact true, then it shouldn't have happened, should be investigated.
Not hard to have, like, principles and, you know, question things like that, right?
Pretty easy stuff.
But again, I'm confused.
Pelosi clearly has a role in the Capitol security plan, has previously said she didn't.
They showed video yesterday showing she did.
And then they showed more video showing not only did she have a role in the security plan, but that they allegedly had information 10 days out and did nothing about it.
Really strange.
Really strange how this January 6th committee keeps imploding on itself.
They're distracting you from inflation.
I'm going to get to that in a minute too.
Some great video from Biden on inflation.
The GOP is going to make it worse.
That's a, that's, that's a good, no one can make it worse.
No one can make, we're at a hundred on the suck scale.
No, if it's a 99 because of the GOP, we're still making it better than you.
All right, let me get to my next sponsor.
And then really what I think is a really astonishing story I got from an FBI whistleblower this morning.
That I think you need to hear about.
It's kind of blew my mind.
And we'll talk about it more this weekend on my Fox show as well.

Okay.
Um, so I got a call.
Well, not a call.
I got a message from an FBI whistleblower, not the one we're going to have on my show this weekend, a different one who gave me some troubling information that we're going to dig into a little bit this weekend on the Fox show and elsewhere.
He says that at the San Francisco field office of the FBI.
So here, this is kind of a hint for all you journalists out there.
If you're interested in like public corruption and that kind of thing, that's a stretch.
I know asking journalists to do journalism is really tough, but he said to me that out of the San Francisco office, they are putting together apparently a tag.
In other words, a way to gather cases, casework and investigative tips.
On election-type misinformation that they're going to be looking into that they can report to social media companies.
Now, that may not sound like the biggest bombshell in the world, but oh boy, I want you to listen to what I just said again.
We're not talking about now DHS and bureaucrats and CISA and others who are reporting to social media companies asking for information to be taken down.
That's obviously a First Amendment violation in and of itself.
We're now talking about people if you listen to my first FBI whistleblower interview on Rumble, part one and part two.
We're talking about an entity, the FBI, that is obsessed with intelligence investigations.
Why?
Because they're not criminal investigations.
You never have to shut them down.
You never have to go in front of a judge.
Essentially, if you're a subject of an FBI intelligence investigation, Armacost, you could have the FBI investigating you for the rest of your damn life.
Aw, crap.
And you'll never hear about it.
Sounds bad, because it is.
So now, apparently, the FBI, with the guns and the badges and all that, According to this source, is looking at information they don't like on social media and pushing social media companies, you know, with the guns and the badges and all, pushing social media companies to tag and get together this election misinformation.
In other words, probably conservative news that Democrats don't like.
Folks, this is really getting troubling.
I mean, if we weren't at the point of, like, Paul Revere running down the street screaming, like, the Redcoats are coming at this point, we should be there soon.
This is really, really bad.
This is really, really bad.
We need a political, political, political revolution in this country.
No violence.
Leave the left out.
That's their thing.
Really.
That's over.
We need a political revolution in this country.
The FBI absolutely must be disbanded at this point.
Did you see this yesterday?
The Danchenko trial?
Durham?
New information coming out of the Durham trial?
Again, you know, please, I don't like when the audience gets angry at me for things I don't say.
It drives me bananas because the show is for you.
I, again, am not suggesting anything is going to come out of any of these trials.
There's a good chance Danchenko gets off just like Sussman did, okay?
However, the stuff coming out in this trial is really eye-opening.
Our buddy Technofog.
If you don't have his substack, you should.
Techno's amazing.
Technofog does a really good substack and has great legal analysis.
It's covering the Danchenko trial.
Again, while we're on this block of FBI corruption, here's what I think we should take from the Durham trial.
Durham's a special investigator, as you know, looking into the whole collusion thing and how it started.
And FBI malfeasance.
I heard this said yesterday by Kim Strassel in the Wall Street Journal.
I read it, I should say.
She made a good point.
She's like, listen, regardless of what happens at the Durham trial, and I'm not sure much is going to happen.
I just said that.
The information Durham is exposing through the FBI agents on the stand, follow me here, Joe, the FBI is just damning.
If nothing happens from the Durham trial, at least we're getting an inside peek of just How corrupt!
And believe me, I use that word intentionally.
Just how corrupt the FBI has become.
They're under oath now, and he knows the FBI agents on the stand know the whole world is watching.
They can't lie, they can't get giglioed.
That's when you're caught getting lied in the stand, you'll get fired immediately after because you can't testify ever again.
You never want to get giglioed, ever, as a federal agent.
Look it up, G-I-G-L-I-O.
You get giglioed, you're done.
They can't lie.
So I don't know what Durham's up to.
I'm not really candidly that confident that he's even on our team sometimes.
But I can tell you this, the stuff coming out of the FBI is damning.
Here's just a couple of tidbits from Techno's piece.
It's even worse than we thought.
First, Igor Danchenko, the guy actually on trial, who Durham is trying to prosecute for lying to the FBI.
Danchenko was one of the sources for the dossier, you know, the PP tape Trump colluded with Russia.
Well, who introduced Danchenko to another dossier source, this guy Dolan, who was a Clinton guy?
Well, techno notes, Dolan was introduced to Danchenko through Fiona Hill.
In 2016.
Remember Fiona Hill?
Fiona Hill, she worked in the Trump White House and the Obama White House.
She was a foreign policy specialist, but... Actually, I don't know if she worked there.
She definitely worked in the Trump White House.
But remember Fiona Hill?
Fiona Hill worked at Brookings.
Remember Brookings?
The alleged think tank which attacked me last week for speaking openly about the Russia-Ukraine nuclear crisis?
Now do you see how they're trying to Russiagate everyone?
Elon Musk, me, Trump.
Dolan's like, hey, I met Fiona Hill, who was at the Brookings Institution.
You see what they do?
Think tanks, the federal bureaucracy.
And the media are going to Russiagate.
You're a Putin stooge.
Anybody who speaks out against them.
Now do you see how this is, if I may, this is beautifully tied in.
Now do you see where the FBI San Francisco threat tag comes into?
The FBI San Francisco threat tag that I got a tip on.
Anybody who posts anything on social media, the Democrats don't like them.
It's national security.
We got to go put an intel case.
That's a Russia guy.
The Russia.
They're working on behalf of Russia.
You get it?
Here's another part of the hearing yesterday, techno covered.
So, you know, Danchenko appeared to have been given favorable treatment.
And he was a paid CHS, confidential human source.
He was an informant.
Helson's, another FBI agent who was testifying, said it's typically standard practice that money and compensation is based on the type of information the source gives.
Danchenko, however, was paid thousands just to sit down and talk to the FBI.
Folks, the corruption here is stunning.
I gotta move on in a second.
I'm gonna play something by Kayleigh McEnany.
She said on this, but she's right.
The corruption here is stunning.
So just to sum up, A think tank that hates conservatives connected a bunch of anti-Trump people to feed to Christopher Steele a bunch of lies in a dossier, right?
Clear?
Secondly, the FBI was paying everyone, their mother, their dogs, the ants in their backyard, everyone, to get information on Trump and couldn't come up with anything!
They were paying Halper.
They were paying Steele.
They were paying Danchenko.
They were littering money all over the world, begging, begging like dogs, like dogs, like thirsty dogs for anything on Donald Trump.
Spilled the tea, man, spilled the tea, and got nothing.
Remember, in a free society, we investigate crimes in search of people.
In a totalitarian communist society, we investigate people in search of crimes.
Gee, sounds like what the FBI was doing.
Sounds like what they're doing against you, too.
Disband it.
Have some balls up there.
All right, I want to get to this Kaylee McEnany video yesterday.
She summed up this whole trial just beautifully.
Because, you know, the Spygate stuff, I get it.
I wrote three books on it.
It gets super confusing.
Kaylee summed it up really simply.
This video coming up next, you're going to love it.
Let me get to my next sponsor first.

You're going to love this company.
So here it is.
Don't get lost in the deets.
You know, I was really simple with this.
Basically, think tanks, DC, and the media worked together to frame Donald Trump, and the FBI paid for it.
It's that simple.
That's what came out yesterday.
But Kayleigh really sums up, I think, the biggest FBI scandal.
They've become just a modern-day corruption machine, part of this new Soviet style of governing.
Kayleigh's like, you know, I think the worst part about... Kayleigh's a lawyer, by the way.
She's like, I think the worst part about this whole thing is The FBI paid for information.
The information never came.
The information on Trump was never verified at all.
But that's kind of weird, Joe, because they went into court multiple times in front of a FISA judge and swore.
I mean, like, swore, like, right hand up and everything.
I swear.
Swore this information was not only true, but had been verified as true.
Weird.
A lot of weirds today in the show.
Joe's totally, he's been weirded out three times today.
It's just on a Friday, it's a little too much.
Here, check out Kayleigh.
This is the biggest scandal of all.
Check it out. Durham further pressed Otten over the lack of corroboration justifying that FISA
warrant against the Trump campaign in 2016. Durham saying, quote, you and your colleagues took
the information and put it in the Carter page FISA application. You didn't have corroboration
from FBI databases, mother intelligence community agencies, or from Christopher
Steele, and it still went into a FISA application. The witness
answered, correct.
Guys, Guy, I know you hate this story, so I'm gonna ask you because you speak for a lot
of the audience, I'm sure.
[laughs]
Even you, hate sister, do you not find that a little shocking?
Okay, thank you.
Even Geese, I guess.
The FBI, as you understand, admits they swore, not once, folks, four times in front of a FISA court, Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court, a federal judge swore the information was not only true, but that they verified it is true.
You get what I'm saying?
It's not that they allege Joe Armacost robbed a bank.
It's that they allege they verified it.
In other words, they have video, they have a clerk, a fingerprint, DNA.
Not only was the information false, it was never verified at all, and they paid people millions of dollars, hundreds of thousands and a million in one case, to be precise, and still couldn't verify it.
How are people not in jail over this?
That's why I have no faith whatsoever, by the way, anything is going to happen or come out of this.
These people should have been locked up a long time ago.
It's an open and shut case, folks.
You swore in court something was true you knew wasn't.
End of story.
Folks, they gotta distract you though, kind of tying it all together, the show today.
They're trying to distract you, hence the January 6th committee.
They're trying to distract you from what I put out on Twitter and True Social last night and I meant is an absolutely unprecedented level of suck.
We have not seen a level of suck come out of the White House.
I think in modern American history.
I wasn't alive, obviously, for our early founding in the early years.
Andrew Johnson, I'm sure, was no gem in the White House either.
But in my lifetime, I've never seen a president as horrendous, as corrupt, as grotesque, as unprofessional.
I've never seen anything like this guy, ever, like Joe Biden.
So they're distracting you.
Here's what I mean.
The inflation numbers came out yesterday.
I told you I'd get back to it.
Here is Joe Biden.
I mean, this guy is just an unrepentant BS artist, a clown in every degree, suggesting in this brief clip here that the inflation that we haven't seen in 40 years since another Democrat was president, Jimmy Carter, that somehow it's going to get worse Under Republicans.
I mean, if this isn't BS gaslighting, then I don't know how to describe it.
Check this out.
Republican wins, inflation is going to get worse.
It's that simple.
Is it?
Is it really that simple?
Because it's kind of strange.
When you took office, inflation was 1.2% annualized.
Inflation now is running at 8.2, 8.4, and in prior months, 9%.
And core inflation is the worst it's been since another Democrat was in charge, Jimmy Carter.
Kind of strange how the GOP did that.
I'm alive 47 years.
The last time we saw inflation this bad, there was another Democrat.
And you're worse than him.
Folks, this guy's a clown.
Not only is he a clown, he's corrupt.
He used his drug-addicted son to take money from foreign entities, selling his last name and his influence.
There's never been a more corrupt, grotesque human being in the White House.
We should have listened to Obama.
Obama?
Yeah, Obama.
When he said, don't underestimate Joe Biden's ability to F things up.
I think a lot of people underestimated how awful the level of suck was going to be when this guy got in the White House.
The guy's a clown.
A clown.
But a clown who's destroying your life every second he sits in the White House.
Here's his chief propagandist on the economy, Brian Deese.
Him and Jared Bernstein.
Two buffoons.
We just had this ridiculous inflation number pop yesterday.
And here's Brian Deese.
Even, folks, you know it's bad when even CNN is like, bro, you just telling people things aren't as bad here as they are around the world doesn't make the crap situation here sound better.
You gotta listen.
Even CNN's had enough of this guy.
But I want you to pay attention first.
Forget the CNN point for a second.
I really post this for a different reason.
He tries to make a point about health care costs, like, look, look what we're doing.
We did this thing in the Inflation Reduction Act to reduce health care.
Yeah, but he doesn't tell you how.
That's the key.
Here's what I mean.
Take a look at this clip.
Healthcare, for example, was one of the places where prices you saw in this report increasing because of the policies that we've put in place.
Healthcare premiums are going to come down for 13 million Americans.
We're going to bring prescription drugs prices down by allowing Medicare to negotiate for better prescription drug costs.
And we're going to cap out-of-pocket costs for seniors in Medicare at $2,000.
In addition, we put in place policies that will bring down energy costs and energy bills for American families in the coming months.
So these are policies that are going to make a difference as we keep bringing these prices down and they will continue to be our focus.
So you look at core inflation at 6.6%, that's stripping out food and energy.
And Brian, just telling Americans that things aren't as bad here as they are around the world really isn't a reassuring statement at this point.
Folks, when you've lost CNN, I don't know, you know, what else to tell you.
I mean, you, you, the level of suck is so bad that even CNN or people are like, Hey bro, like your BS is just not, you know, you're, you're crushing American's wallets.
And by the way, just so you understand, I'd like to give you a little tidbits for arguing that you left this friends.
I'm sorry, but you're, you know, you're the foot soldiers in the debate wars out there.
When your leftist friends say inflation's a global problem, say, yes, absolutely, you're making my point, not yours.
Everybody around the globe is doing the same thing we're doing here in the United States.
Printing and spending money they don't have, and that's where inflation's the worst.
And it's even worse here than it is there.
The countries around the world that have balanced budgets and are not printing money don't have inflation.
You don't think that's weird?
You understand, folks?
They're not making their point, they're making yours.
It's happening around the world.
That's like saying liberals were elected in every country around the world and crime exploded.
Therefore, crime's not a problem because it's happening around the world, huh?
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!
What was his name in Ghostbusters?
I mean, in Bill Murray, but what was his name?
Do you know his name?
Oh, he don't know.
He's like 20-something years old.
Well, 30.
He has no idea.
He wasn't even alive when that came out.
Yeah, you got to look that up.
What's Bill Murray's name?
So listen, he's not only lying about all this other stuff.
He's lying about the health care stuff.
He's saying, oh, this Inflation Reduction Act.
So we're going to control health care costs.
Therefore, it's going to reduce inflation.
OK, how?
What he fails to mention are two things.
The control of healthcare costs was because the Treasury implemented an unconstitutional family glitch update.
The long and short of it is, they're just pushing more people off private insurance into Obamacare.
You know what the cost of that's going to be?
$45 billion in taxpayer money.
That's even assuming your healthcare costs go down because of it!
Secondly, they put price controls on drugs.
Oh, damn, that sounds like a great idea.
The government's gonna control prices?
Uh, where's that worked?
The answer is nowhere, ever.
If price controls work, why not just price control everything?
The answer is the government can't control prices.
It's determined by supply and demand.
When you try to control prices, what happens?
You get increased demand because you're artificially lowering a price.
You get decreased supply because nobody's going to sell anything at an artificially decreased price because they'll lose money.
You get black markets and you get really crappy products if forced to produce something at a loss.
Period.
End of story.
You're gonna get crappy drugs, no drugs, and you're gonna get increased demand for drugs that aren't there.
I mean, why not just price control everything?
Also, by the way, they're lying about inflation.
James Freeman, The Wall Street Journal.
Great piece.
Highly recommend.
Biden's deceptions and inflation.
As for Biden's, well, inflation would be worse under the GOP.
Really?
We had a GOP president.
His name was...
Oh, Trump!
Yes, Donald Trump.
Long time ago, long time ago.
Donald Trump.
And yet the strange thing was, when Donald Trump was in charge, and he was with the GOP Grand Old Party, inflation was 1.2%.
As James Freeman notes, 7 full percentage points below the current rate.
That's gotta be worse than the GOP!
Wow, that's strange, because it was 7 points lower under the GOP.
And as for Biden's claim, well, the economy was so bad when I came into office, we had to print all this money to give to people that led to inflation.
Yeah, Freeman debunks that too.
She says, Biden insisted on enacting a massive spending increase based on his false claim that the U.S.
economy was in shambles and need of emergency federal intervention when he took office.
Freeman notes, listen to this.
Well, that was never true.
In the first quarter of 2021, when Biden took office, the economy was humming along at a 6.3% annual growth rate.
Following, he says pretty, you're damn right, this was following Joe and explosive 35.3% growth rate in the third quarter of 2020, after the shutdowns ended.
And that is solid economic growth rate of nearly 4% in the quarter before he took office.
The growth rate is now negative, two quarters in a row.
Joe Biden, ladies and gentlemen, is full of crap.
He's always been full of crap.
He is the single most corrupt individual to ever enter the White House.
I'm just going to show you how all this stuff is going to impact you in a second, too.
And would you guys not agree?
The single biggest debate flub I have ever seen by a Democrat in my entire life.
I've seen a lot of debate flubs.
You got to hear this video.
Angie Craig, Minnesota.
Yeah, this is good.
I'm not trying to unnecessarily tease it.
I hate that.
It's on my bag.
I'm just telling you, this is good.
Stay tuned.
What?
Peter Venkman, yes!
No, is he Venkman?
Bill Murray?
Are you sure he was Venkman?
I don't know, is this gonna be a gig?
It's what it says online?
Alright, I gotta go with that.
I know it was Venkman, but I thought that was the other guy.
Could be wrong.
Pop culture's not my bag.
Hey, when you get your Helix mattress, you'll be obsessed with it like me.
I have the Midnight Luxe mattress.
I love it.
I slept like a baby last night, that's why I'm so energetic this morning.

It's our best offer yet, don't wait.
Head on over to helixsleep.com.
All right, I'm committed to getting through all this.
Just quickly, all of this is going to start to filter down into the mortgage market too.
Mortgage rates hit 6.92, effectively 7% yesterday.
20-year high.
That is going to dump so many people out of the housing market, folks.
If we don't get a hold of this inflation soon, that's going to get a whole lot worse.
Here's a video I was talking about.
Boy, I mean, folks, there are screw-ups in debates, and then there are screw-ups in debates.
Here is Minnesota Representative Angie Craig, a Democrat, who knows, maybe speaking the truth in one of the greatest debate flop flubs I've ever heard in my life.
Here's her approach to Big Pharma and representing her constituents.
Check this out.
I will never stop standing up for Big Pharma and standing against my constituents.
[LAUGHTER
We haven't had, I mean, listen, folks, to put that in context, we haven't had a three-monthly.
I'm serious.
Joe is very, very, he's very careful about the Motley's at all, which I appreciate.
It's not funny if we, by the way, thanks to the listeners who sent me the Motley soda and the Motley doll, Gia's the Motley doll.
Yeah, throw them over.
Here, we have to, here we go.
Sorry, I got butter fingers.
Here's the Motley doll.
Thanks you to the Motley stuffy.
Three Motleys is almost unheard of.
In the history of the show, there's probably only been like three or four.
I don't know, three or four.
How many lumps you want, for those of you who used to watch cartoons?
I don't know, three or four.
P. Puma.
Folks, that's bad.
I'm going to keep working for Big Pharma and against my constituents.
She's a Democrat, so she may actually not be kidding.
All right, I gotta move on.
I didn't want to spend a lot of time.
That's just kind of funny comic relief on a Friday.
We started out with Feel Good Friday.
We'll end with some other stuff.
A Bloomberg article you need to read.
It's in my newsletter.
Seriously.
Bongino.com slash newsletter.
Go today.
It's free.
Please read this article.
It's in Bloomberg.
Read it anyway.
I have been warning you over and over and over again about zero-click spyware.
What is Zero Click Spyware?
You don't have to click on anything.
They send you a link to your phone.
That's it.
Whether you click on it or not, it doesn't even matter.
And their phone, your phone, is now their phone.
The camera, the microphone, the geolocating, your emails, all theirs, baby.
This stuff is everywhere.
This article is about Pegasus, what I told you about before.
That's the program.
Here's how it works.
It's called a zero-click attack.
It places spyware on your phone without even tricking a user into doing anything, such as clicking on a link.
It's a technique governments have utilized to target their opponents on a greater scale and for a longer duration than previously known, according to new research.
Folks, read this article.
Your phone... If you are a prominent public figure, you have to just... I'm dead serious.
Just assume you have a microphone and a camera and a geolocator on you at all times.
Just assume it at this point.
Here's how it works on Apple phones, by the way.
The zero-click attacks leverage security vulnerabilities in Apple devices, in some cases sending an iMessage that would force the phone to connect to a malicious website without user engagement, meaning it doesn't matter if you clicked on it.
Folks, this is really bad.
It is serious.
He says it's pretty serious.
You're damn right!
Keep your eye on this.
We will be doing this on my Fox show, not this weekend, probably next weekend, but we've been on this story now for almost a year.
Yep.
Assuming you've been hacked.
Couple quick news things and we'll get to questions.
Kanye West cancelled by a bank.
Of course, Kanye West, regardless if you agree or disagree with what he says, the whole essence of free speech is you're willing to defend speech you don't like.
You don't need to defend speech you do like because you'd support it and you wouldn't need to defend it, right?
Well, he was cancelled by another bank.
Folks, I'm putting out a public offer to Kanye West now on my show.
We can help you.
Also, I can help you, too, if you are processing credit cards.
You are looking for financial alternatives to processing credit cards.
You are looking for banks.
Go to paralleleconomy.com.
That is our site.
Sorry, I hate to plug stuff.
It sounds kind of lame.
But it's not, it's my mission, it's not a money thing, it's a principle thing.
Paralleleconomy.com, Kanye, we can help you.
And I just read my, excuse me, my business partner, who has been actively engaged in this endeavor with me, just sent me another article, just came over.
It's a Fox Business article.
Chase Bank allegedly shutters bank account of a religious freedom nonprofit and demands their donor list.
Close the bank account of a religious, the National Committee for Religious Freedom, NCRF.
I am speaking to you now, as well as Kanye and others.
ParallelEconomy.com.
We can and will help you.
Up to you.
No, no pressure here, obviously.
ParallelEconomy.com.
Get away from them, folks.
They're gonna cancel you eventually.
Finally, New York Post, people are fighting back.
You know BlackRock?
BlackRock, Larry Fink.
They love Chinese Communist Party.
They're trying to destroy the country with the ESG crap.
Well, good news.
Republican treasurers have taken out a billion dollars from BlackRock over these environmental social justice investments.
Good for you, fellas.
I like to see this issue taken up.
Yeah, it's happening, folks.
See, change is happening.
You know, I was listening to Rush yesterday in this little clip they have on Fox News running about their new book where he says, listen, we're never giving up on America.
You know, it's funny when I say it, people yell at me.
They say, oh, you're too optimistic.
It's over.
You know, Rush had a lot more credibility than I do with the audience.
Not because what we said was any different or the message, but he was with them 30 years.
I understand that it takes time to build trust.
I'm telling you, echoing Rush's message.
We're going to fix this.
I'm absolutely sure of it.
We're going to fix it.
We've always fixed it.
It's happening.
Okay.
Time for questions for Dan.
All right.
Hey Dan, love the economics part of the show.
How can the stock market swing 1500 points on a report, the inflation report that was worse than expected and in a bear market?
Well, for a number of reasons.
Um, And reason number one is I think they thought inflation may be worse than it really was.
And second, because they thought inflation was going to be worse than it really was, I think they thought the Fed was then going to maybe go from a three quarter point to a quarter point hike, which would make money more expensive, which would make more companies basically go out of business because the cost of financing the companies would be too strong.
I hope that made sense.
I've explained this.
It's very counterintuitive, but, uh, sorry.
That's, that's really all about interest rates.
Hey Dan, can you remember a time there in the span of your podcast where you had trouble finding content to cover?
Thanks for fighting a good fight.
A Brian five.
Okay.
Do you know, do you know what I'm thinking here?
Joe, what am I thinking?
Tell me.
Yes!
Thank you.
I did not rehearse this with him in advance.
I intentionally took this question to see if Guy, Joe, and Jim, who listens sometimes to Radio Station, do you remember the Joe Rogan being banned by Spotify story?
What was it, like seven, eight months ago?
Yeah.
Do you remember how much we, there was nothing, there was nothing going on.
Putin hadn't invaded Ukraine.
Inflation was bad but hadn't really exploded totally yet.
There were no, like, people weren't really heated up on the political season.
There was this month-long period where we were sitting here every morning like, what the hell are we going to talk about?
The aura ring?
Yeah.
We had nothing.
Folks, there was nothing.
And the fact that, and believe me, it showed.
The audience, we have like our P1s and people hang around, but we were down like 5, 10%.
There was just nothing to talk about at all.
We talked about Joe Rogan like every day for three weeks because there was nothing else to talk about.
So yes, it's a great question.
I love that question.
At Airplane Driver, hey Dan, is it too far-fetched to think Delaney and Natasha Bertrand and the like are not useful idiots and they're actually just direct employees or assets or one or more of our intelligence agencies?
Honestly, I see that as really highly unlikely because they get, you know, They don't need the money, you know?
You know what I'm saying?
They get paid well by their outlets.
And by the way, they don't really want it.
They're ideological leftists who just want to advance the deep state agenda.
So whether they're... I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but whether they're paid assets or not, they are assets to the deep state.
You get what I'm saying?
Good question.
Hey Dan, we know you're long on America.
I am.
But will there ever be a point when you decide you can no longer be a public figure?
You know, I thought long and hard about this question.
Can I put this in there?
Because I don't want... You know, you never want to...
You never want to tell someone, you know, you're not running for office again, especially if you're not a lame duck, because then what happens?
You lose all your power, right?
So no, I'm serious.
So you never want to tell people like, Hey, I'm going to exit stage left at some point.
Cause you don't, then, you know, you figure that maybe they're not going to continue to listen.
Maybe there'll be like, ah, I better stick with someone who's going to hang around.
Does that make sense?
But that's not fair to you.
Uh, because you're my audience, And I'm your host and this is a symbiosis here and I owe you everything.
You owe me nothing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I talk about it a lot.
I have never ever, I know a lot of people say this and don't mean it and kind of a humble brag.
It's really meant to say, look, I'm really popular and I'm so tired of it.
Cause you know that, that I've never really been comfortable, uh, as a public figure.
I'm not.
I work out of a studio with just... Guy was telling me the other day, like, don't you find it incredible we have this huge podcast and the team is really just three of us.
Paula, Joe, and Guy.
Like, that's it.
That's the whole team.
We have a fan on a cardboard box there.
We have one camera, a TV screen.
That's it.
This whole show and two soundboards.
And you, four.
Yeah.
And a Muttley doll.
Yeah, and me, but...
Yeah, yeah, and intern Justin when he's around.
This show is a minimalist show because the content is all to us, it matters.
We don't do anything fancy here, ever.
But I like it that way because I don't like being in public.
And if you've ever met me in public at CPAC or at a convention, I was at a party the other night for a friend, 40th birthday party, you'll know that I'm not, you'll believe me, you'll know that I am not comfortable around people in public.
Trust me when I tell you, if you ever meet me, you'll catch it right away.
I'm just not.
So, uh, yeah, I think about it all the time.
How do I exit stage left?
But I think the country needs the show.
So that's why I stay.
Uh, Hey Dan, LDaniel633.
Sorry for that answer.
It was long, but that question meant a lot.
Limbo.
You always caution listeners.
Do not panic.
I'll tell you when to panic.
Do you think he would tell us to panic with the road this country's been placed on?
No, that's why I kind of opened the segment the way I did.
I don't.
I don't even think we're close to panic.
I really don't.
You know when we were close to panic?
When Hitler was blitzing England and the world was potentially going to be under the rule of a Nazi murderer savage.
We're not even close.
The nuclear thing has me worried, but we're not there yet.
It's panic time.
Believe me, I'll tell you too.
Slade V. Hey Dan, if we don't let athletes bet on games they influence, why do we allow congressmen to invest in companies they regulate?
No idea.
Dumbest thing ever.
Couldn't agree with you more.
Blind trust or nothing?
Good question.
Hey Dan, at Gidge, have you ever been bleeped on your radio show or a live TV hit?
They have no capability on live TV to bleep you unless they cut off the interview.
So this is the latter, no.
The former, yes, I have been bleeped on my own radio show.
I was talking with Congressman Chip Roy from Texas, who I adore.
Me and him both had the same type of cancer, so we're kind of friends outside of The political space.
So we talked to each other a little differently.
And while I was on the radio show, I was really tired that day interviewing him.
I, I kid you not, I kind of forgot we were on live radio.
So I was like, Oh yeah, that guy's just a bull.
Well, you can't say it.
Jim, the producer luckily caught it, hit the dump button, which dumps seven seconds of the interview.
So yes, I have been bleeped on my own radio.
Not on TV though, they can't do that.
I said BS on TV, the actual word, multiple times.
I've heard it.
I know you heard it a couple times.
Hey Dan, at Nanny D, Tulsi Gabbard said the Democrat Party at JFK doesn't exist anymore.
I've often said if he was alive now he'd be a Republican.
Wondering if you agree.
Nanny D, Joe and I have said this for eight years.
That JFK, if he was alive today, I have zero doubt, would be considered a moderate Republican.
It was JFK who said that, ironically, marginal tax rates are too high and government revenue is too low.
JFK said that.
Reagan thought it, but he didn't say it, instead of all he said in other ways.
That was a JFK quote.
All right, thanks again for tuning in.
Please don't miss my show tomorrow night on Fox, unfiltered, 9 p.m.
Eastern Time.
Please set your DVR, FBI whistleblower, with some January 6th info.
