“Fact-Checkers” Humiliate Themselves On The COVID Vaccine (Ep 1874)
In this episode, I address the laughable attempts by the “fact-checkers” to cover up the comments by a Pfizer executive. We also discuss the latest Fauci flip-flop, and the stunning turn of events in this Georgia election.

All right, Joseph, let's go.
Good morning, Monday.
Yes, it is a good morning.
So just one quick story before I get started.
You know, I catch up on Monday, personally.
So I go to an event.
Am I going to say where this week?
It was an event for a friend.
And I don't go anywhere without my firearm.
I have a federal FLIOSA license.
I have a concealed carry permit.
And I am a special deputy here in Martin County as well.
Um, so I have the trifecta and I actually went into the event and it was for a friend and they had a metal detector and the security guy says, no, we don't let, uh, we don't basically, we don't let law enforcement in here.
I was like, wait, what?
An hour and a half driving to this event.
You believe this, Joe?
I was like, you're kidding, right?
I had to turn around, go right home.
Guy's like, oh, he's trying to explain it away.
It's all for security.
I said, I'm sorry.
I'll see you later.
He's like, hey, why don't you leave it in my car?
Yeah, sure, sure.
I'll leave a loaded firearm in your car.
I just met you.
That happened.
Yeah, I'll leave it in your car.
That's a great idea.
I can't believe that.
No, I can't.
Yeah, I know.
Believe me, I had a hard time digesting it, too.
The whole ride home, I'm saying to Paulie, you believe that just happened?
So, did I not tell you a week, a week and a half ago, that anything about the vaccine or masks you put out online, anything about vaccines or masks, the fact checkers, you know, the fake fact checkers, are going to jump in to try to find a way to censor the content.
Why?
This was never about vaccines or masks or even about COVID.
It was about making sure you understand the government's in charge and you're not in charge of your own body.
And the vaccine mandates were a vehicle to do it.
I have played countless clips, I will play them again, of executives and liberals just admitting as much that this has always been about mandates, okay?
So, here's what I mean.
Last week, a Pfizer executive came out and said some astonishing things on video, I'll play those in a second, about how they didn't test for effectiveness against transmission for the vaccine.
Wait, what?
You guys invented a vaccine and never tested to see if it stops transmission?
What is the point of a vaccine then?
It's on video.
He said to you, these fact checkers are going to be, they are going to censor this story no matter what because they're Soviets.
Sure enough.
Here we go.
Wake up this morning, open up various social media apps.
This is going around.
Here's a screenshot.
Recent claims about Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine trial and impact on transmission are misleading.
Fact checkers are both.
It's their own words you dip wads.
Every morning, every freaking morning at Twitter, Google, Fakebook, Apple, Amazon headquarters, the Soviet
Are you kidding?
Here, let me put now, again, because fact checkers want us to not tell you about the science and the facts.
As I always say, you tell me not to talk about a story, what do we do, Joe?
We play it again, Sam.
Every single time.
Here is the video of a Pfizer executive in front of a minister of the European Parliament, I think his name is Rob Bruce, when asked a very specific question.
Did you all test this vaccine, like, to do vaccine stuff?
Like, to see if it stops transmission?
I want you to listen to her answer that the fact-checkers are terrified about.
Check this out.
For you, Mrs. Small, I have the following question, which I want a clear answer to.
And I will speak in English, so there are no misunderstandings.
Was the Pfizer COVID vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market?
If not, please say it clearly.
If yes, are you willing to share the data with this committee?
And I really want a straight answer, yes or no, and I'm looking forward to it.
Thank you very much.
Regarding the question around, did we know about stopping the immunization before it's entered the market?
No.
We had to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market.
This is scandalous.
Millions of people worldwide felt forced to get vaccinated because of the myth That you do it for others.
Now, this turned out to be a cheap lie.
Now, you heard her comments, right?
Those are her words.
This Pfizer executive.
No serious person's disputing that.
Now, of course, the fact-checkers, here's what's going on.
I think you can all figure it out, but just to reiterate.
Fact-checkers do not check facts.
They are deep state propagandists and activists with their heads up the deep state's ass.
That is it.
The Deep State needs you to believe they know everything.
The Deep State pushed you to take a vaccine that did not stop transmission.
Now it's coming out in the public.
It wasn't even tested as that.
And the Deep State can't admit they were wrong, so they need the fact-checkers to censor it.
But they can't censor me playing her own words.
So what they're gonna say now is, oh, it was definitely missing context.
Why?
So you understand what happens behind the scenes when they fact-check something.
When I put this out on Facebook and others, the fact-check appears over the article so you can't read it until you click on their fact-check first.
Now, for those of you out there in the fact-check community suggesting Pfizer never even implied that this could stop transmission, really?
Here's a Pfizer tweet from their verified blue checkmark account.
I want you to pay very close attention to the date on the tweet, January 13, 2021.
And I'm going to read it verbatim.
That means to the liberals, that means that's what it says.
Quote, Pfizer.
The ability to vaccinate at speed to gain herd immunity and stop transmission is our highest priority.
There's a lot of work ahead and our focus is on supporting points of vaccination, as that's key to increasing the volume of people getting vaccinated every day.
Let me read that first sentence again.
The ability to vaccinate at speed to gain herd immunity and stop transmission is our highest priority.
They're words, folks.
See, this is what So we're clear?
This is what real fact-checking looks like.
That's a fact that the Pfizer executive said that.
I just played her own words.
And it's a fact Pfizer tweeted that.
Yet, here's the AP, a total ass clown show.
Just an embarrassment.
This is why, again, whatever fact-checkers tell you, I can almost guarantee you the opposite is true.
Here's an AP fact-check.
No concerns for their own human dignity at all.
Just ass of the deep state, healthcare bureaucracy and swamp.
Ass of it.
Here's fact-checkers.
Ass right in the face.
Yeah, I know.
It's a tough image.
AP fact check, verified account.
Pfizer never claimed to have tested the impact of its COVID-19 vaccine on transmission ahead of its 2020 release, despite misleading claims suggesting the company lied about the issue.
Such studies were conducted after its rollout.
Here are the facts.
Here's Keith throwing it up again.
The ability to vaccinate at speed to gain herd immunity to stop transmission is our highest priority.
I mean, you can't make this up.
You can't make this up.
Sorry.
Really, it's Monday.
I've been itching to get on the air.
Sometimes I regret taking weekends off, even though I know I have to have a personal life, because these stories just pop out at me with such a fury.
It makes you want to boil over.
They simply cannot stop lying.
They have decimated faith in the medical community.
They've decimated faith even a lot of independents had in government.
They've destroyed kids' lives.
ATT scores have collapsed.
SAT scores will be next.
Childhood depression is spiking.
Drug use is spiking.
Fentanyl overdoses are spiking.
You destroyed our kids' opportunity.
You've wiped out two years of their education.
Millions of people have died because of your stupid recommendations and your lies about vaccines and masks, and you just can't stop lying.
You just cannot stop lying.
Did you see this this weekend with Fauci?
For the umpteenth thousandth time, by the way.
I know, Joe got to see it in advance, of course.
He gets to cut it.
Listen, I don't know Fauci personally.
I don't want to know Fauci.
I don't care about Anthony Fauci at all.
I care about him as a human being, because I'm a believer in Jesus Christ and I should.
I don't care about him like I would a personal friend, because I don't know him.
I have a general level of care, okay?
Fauci is not your private doctor.
If Fauci's your private doctor and you make private decisions that screw up your private life, you can handle it with Fauci.
Fauci is a public health official, paid generously.
He's one of the highest paid government employees.
He is paid generously by the taxpayer.
Fauci is open to public criticism because he's, shockingly, a public official.
But like the fact checkers, the liberal goons, and the deep staters who are obsessed with mandates and injecting things into your body whether you like them or not, Fauci simply is incapable of coming clean about his own role and his massive mistakes as one of the lead public health bureaucrats.
He lies like the fact checkers.
Here's Fauci in an interview with Jonathan Karl this weekend.
Amazingly, despite the fact that there is endless amounts of video of him saying the opposite, suggesting, quote, he had nothing to do with school closures.
That is just factually inaccurate.
He had public statements on the record about closures that I can just play for you.
And I will.
First, here's Fauci.
Nothing to do with school closures at all.
Check this out.
I ask anybody to go back over the number of times that I've said we've got to do everything we can to keep the schools open.
No one plays that clip.
They always come back and say Fauci was responsible for closing schools.
I had nothing to do.
I mean, let's get down to the fact.
Again, they just can't stop.
Guys, ladies, listen.
I'm writing a book about all my failures.
I'm not kidding.
The book, I put in a lot of work to it this week.
I put in about two, three hours with a guy who's helping me out with it.
I'm writing an entire book acknowledging my own failures.
To show you how failure can be a gift, and it doesn't have to be an obstacle if you learn lessons from it.
But here's the thing about failure.
First, you have to recognize it.
Second, you have to recognize why it happened.
And third, you have to come out, acknowledge it, and move forward.
And in some cases, if you've hurt someone else, do so in an apologetic manner.
Do you understand that these deep staters are completely and entirely incapable of doing this?
Here's Fauci right here, hat tip, this guy Justin Hart, I found this on his Twitter feed.
Here is a supercut, and by the way, this goes on for a while, I only cut about a minute or so in the interest of time, of Fauci supporting closures and school closures.
In his own words, just blatantly telling you things that aren't true to your face.
We have him on video, take a listen.
I recommend it.
to the president that we shut the country down.
And the only way to do that is by draconian means of essentially shutting down a country.
We know that we can do that if we shut down.
Well, I think one of the things you really need to do to the extent that you can shut down temporarily the country, I think is important.
Well, if I knew at the time that Shutting down would have such a dramatic effect on controlling the spread.
Obviously, we would have shut down earlier.
There were those who say, you shut down destructive things by disrupting the economy.
And others say, well, if you save so many infections by shutting down, why didn't you shut down two weeks earlier?
But I don't regret saying that the only way we could have really stopped the explosion of infection was by essentially, I want to say shutting down.
I mean, essentially having the physical separation and the kinds of recommendations that we've made.
I mean, folks, you have to understand, again, in the interest of time and compressing the podcast to a digestible hour of content, I had to cut that short.
Hat tip, Justin Hart.
That goes on for like another, I don't know, 40 seconds to a minute?
What is he talking about?
Do you see if we had an honest media?
How much different of a place?
You know, I, my next segments, I like to write down little notes so I stay on track.
You know, I wrote down, could you fathom where we would be as a country?
If we had an honest media infrastructure that actually told you the truth and fact checkers actually checked facts.
If they checked facts, they would confirm the Pfizer executive didn't fact say that.
They would confirm the fact that the testing happened exactly the way she said it did, and it wasn't tested for transmission.
And they would check the fact and acknowledge that Pfizer in fact did imply that stopping transmission was their highest priority in their own tweet back in January of 2021.
But that's not what fact-checkers do.
They propagandize and protect people like Pfizer executives in cahoots with Deep State medical folks, right?
And they protect people like Fauci, who should be the subject of about a hundred different fact-checks this weekend saying, you had nothing to do with school closures?
Really?
Mostly false.
At a minimum.
At a minimum, mostly false.
That's not missing context.
That's mostly false.
If not altogether, I'm being generous.
Again, can you fathom where we would be as a country without a group of people, 20 to 25% of the population in the United States that categorize themselves as progressive or liberal, who live in an alternate reality?
Did you see my Fox show this weekend?
It was my opening monologue.
How Marvel has these different universes and like, whenever Marvel needs to explain away some glitch in the storyline, he hated the compliment.
By the way, we cut it short.
Did you watch the show?
Did you notice?
I was because of you.
The original compilation was long.
Guy was like, I cut it short.
I used just the Spider-Man one.
But that was just for you, buddy.
He thought it was too long.
You're welcome.
The Marvel, and whenever they need to explain something away, like why there's different Spider-Men and the Spider-Man, they're like, oh no, he exists in another universe.
And I made the point that that's Joe Biden in the medium.
They live in an alternate universe where a Pfizer executive says something clearly and unambiguously at a public hearing on video.
And in that universe, that's not what she said.
She actually said and implied something different.
You know, Joe Biden, listen, the economy's strong as hell.
Oh, he didn't say that.
Oh, hold it.
Cue it up.
Get ready to go.
No, that's exactly what he said.
They live in an alternate universe, where there's multiple Spider-Men, and whenever you need to explain away some anomaly, like why they're- you just go, oh that happened in the other universe.
Here, you doubt me?
Here's Joe Biden this weekend.
He's eating ice cream again while sniffing people.
You see, he went in for a sniff again this weekend.
You see, the guy cannot stop sniffing.
It is the weirdest freaking thing I have ever seen in my life.
The guy can't stop sniffing.
When he was done sniffing, he decided to eat ice cream and he was asked a question about the economy.
He goes on to say the audio is bad here.
It's not Joe's fault.
It was just Taken from it, you can see it's not a boom mic.
He says the economy is, this is hilarious, strong as hell, and he blames inflation again on the globe saying it's worse everywhere else.
It is?
Because there's actual data on that.
Where are the fact checkers?
Nowhere to be found.
Here, listen to Joe Biden.
I'm not concerned about the face of the dollar.
I'm concerned about the rest of the world.
Does that make sense?
Yes.
Our economy is strong as hell.
The internals are.
Inflation is worldwide.
It's worse off for everyone else than it is in the United States.
So, the problem is the lack of economic growth and sound policy in other countries, not so much ours.
And that's our... It's worldwide inflation.
That's consequential.
Here he goes again.
Guy saw that.
I didn't even... I can't even play because it's, you know, the sniffing.
It's just gross.
The guy, he does.
He goes in for a sniff.
Joe, the guy's like a dog.
Like, do you know dogs have these ethmo-turbinates?
The turbinate tissue in their nose?
Dogs have really long ethmo-turbinates in their snouts, so they can smell and detect things you can't smell.
Like, they sense the world differently.
We're visual creatures.
Now I know what they do.
Yeah, yeah, we know what they do.
They sniff each other.
That's how they see the world.
See, we're so visual, we even call it seeing the world, not smelling the world.
Dogs smell the world, right?
This guy is always sniffing.
It's really weird.
He can't sniff the truth, though, which is strange.
The economy's strong as hell, and inflation's worse everywhere else?
Well, we've got actual data on that.
I'll get to it in a second after this break.
Because I'll show you, we're the fact-checkers again.
They're busy defending Pfizer and Fauci.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
Have some dignity.
All right.

So you just heard Biden post-sniff talking about how the economy's strong as hell.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're in a recession.
We've just had two quarters of a shrinking, not growing economy, which is the definition of a recession.
And I put that out of my True Socialist Week, and I'm still finding it hilarious that the fact checkers tried to redefine a recession, the definition of which is two quarters of negative growth or a shrinking economy, to cover for Biden.
It's so, again, ass in the face.
Fact checkers, ass of big government.
It's really pathetic.
We are in a recession.
It is not strong as hell.
It's shrinking.
Here's from the World Economic Forum.
Inflation, highest to lowest.
Now, to be fair, to fit it all in, I did cut out some at the top.
I don't want to give you the false impression that there aren't places that are worse off than the United States.
I put a few in just to show you that, but to fit it on the screen, Israel and others have inflation worse off.
Yes, there are places where inflation is worse than the United States, because facts matter.
But Joe Biden's suggestion, however, That the United States is somehow whatever near the bottom of the list and inflation is worse everywhere else is a total complete lie.
Here's the United States' inflation rate.
Look who we're worse than.
Luxembourg, Germany, Slovakia, Norway, United Kingdom, Canada, Austria, Czech Republic, France, Iceland, Brazil, New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Mexico, Poland, Colombia, blah blah blah blah goes on and on and on and I still had to cut that short.
He is lying!
Not to mention, by the way, that the same places on the globe that are having inflation problems are having inflation problems because of precisely what Joe Biden's doing here.
Spending money we don't have.
So again, if crime got out of control around the world because liberal attack the police policies took effect, and then you did the same thing here, you don't get to say crime is a global problem because we replicated a failing strategy that happened around the world.
Is this making sense?
Because if it doesn't, you know, again, I'm writing this book and it's a real eye-opener for me, going back and reevaluating my own life in terms of things I failed at, moral failings, ethical failings, business failings, failures to see around corners.
The book has really been transformative for me.
It's almost like, you know, a soul purification process.
It really is.
To expose my failings to the world.
I think it's important to do that.
Can you imagine, though, being a business executive?
Every other business did something dumb, Joe.
Like, let's say in 2007, that you went all in on mortgage-backed securities before the housing crash, right?
And then as a CEO, you went all in and followed the herd, and they're about to fire you for bankrupting the company, and your excuse is, oh no, it happened at other businesses too.
Yeah, yeah, we pay you to see things different.
Is that hard?
Am I... Is any of this confusing?
You're the president of the United States, you're not the president of the world.
By the way, hat tip to producer Jim for sending this over.
I love, but I kept it this way on purpose.
We could have got the online article, but I, Jim actually did this himself.
If you want, if you're like, man, that's some amateur hour highlighting it.
No, I love it.
Producer Jim from the radio show.
Here's the New York times analysis on the inflation crisis.
This is hilarious folks.
You want to talk about like kindergarten level analysis with this clown show at the New York times.
I got someone in Washington post coming later too.
They're not left out on election.
Listen to this.
In its aggressive campaign to lower inflation, the U.S.
government is running up against a stubborn obstacle.
Oh, they are?
What is it?
Companies that keep raising prices.
This is the greatest thing.
They're going to be stubborn.
Yeah.
Son of a B. Wow, man.
That's really stubborn.
The problem, here's Joe, here's the analysis.
The problem with inflation is inflation.
Companies keep raising prices.
Why would they do that?
Gee, why would they do that?
Maybe because companies, the producer price index, You know, I know this is a little beyond your understanding, Times, New York Times, but the producer price index, in other words, what companies are paying for inputs because people printed a lot of money in central governments to chase products is going up.
So if companies have to pay twice as much to put together an iPhone or a pill splitter or whatever, then they're going to have to charge twice as much to make their money back.
The New York Times is like, I don't get it.
I don't get, we get it.
We know you don't get it.
We understand.
But don't worry, Cecilia Rouse, one of Obama's economic advisors to the rescue, folks.
Here's a video of Cecilia Rouse, one of Obama's economic advisors, saying, don't worry, the government is going to fix all this.
When you weatherize your homes, they had the Inflation Reduction Act.
The relief is right around the corner, Joe.
Don't you worry.
Cecilia Rouse said, thank God for experts, folks.
Here, check this out.
So the many parts of the bill will start to take effect next year.
For example, there are tax credits for energy to help people weatherize their homes and also bring down other forms of energy costs.
So we are focused on helping to make that transition to clean energy in a way that brings down energy costs for So between the deep state economic PhDs, thank God for experts folks, the fact checkers in the media, here's your analysis.
The receding economy currently in a recession strong as hell.
Global inflation is worse everywhere than the United States even though it isn't.
Inflation is a global problem, because we're on the globe, and they're all doing the same dumb things we're doing, and we're doing them even worse.
The New York Times says, don't worry, inflation's gonna fix itself, right?
But it's running up against a problem, inflation.
Yeah, and Cecilia Rao says, relief is right around the corner.
Just weatherize your homes or something, that's gonna fix it.
Thank God for experts, man!
What would we do without experts?
Folks, it'd be really awesome.
If we had an honest media, it really would.
I mean, just a few honest brokers to tell people the truth and give them actual factual analysis.
I'm convinced if that happened, there would never be another Democrat elected again.
I want to get to this video next from my show on Fox.
We had an FBI whistleblower on, Special Agent Stephen Friend this weekend.
Folks, he was an incredible guest.
We got an enormous amount of feedback.
He was talking about what the FBI is doing with January 6th.
I'm gonna play a short clip.
Many of you saw the show.
Some didn't.
If you did, it's worth it.
It's not long.
We're not gonna play the whole thing.
If you'd like to see the whole thing, you can go to my social media accounts.
It's there.
You can also go to Fox Nation for the full 10-minute interview.
But pay very close attention to this.
Let me get to this first.
I'm gonna play it coming up next.
If we had an honest media that actually appreciated whistleblowers outside of Alexander Vindman, you'd be hearing about this explosive interview everywhere.
But they're doing everything they can, of course, to make it go away.
No one's covered it outside of Fox.
Folks, the weather's changing.
But you know what hasn't changed for a long time?
Your underwear!

Here's what I mean.
Back to the serious stuff.
Video of Steve Friend on what the FBI did with January 6th for my show is just really shocking.
The premise he's about to put forth here is a very simple one.
That the FBI needed to make it appear that domestic terrorism, white supremacy, MAGA supporters were a nationwide insurrection, treason, terrorism problem.
So rather than opening up a case about January 6th, which happened where guys?
In DC.
Open up one case.
They spread the cases around the country to make it appear that it was this national problem.
Listen to Agent Friend explain this.
This is really, really shocking stuff.
But again, the media did everything they could to make this go away.
Check it out.
The bottom line number wasn't going to be changed no matter what, but by spreading the numbers around, I typically use the analogy of looking at police officers' deaths in the line of duty.
Anybody who has any statistician background knows that in 2001, the 9-11 attacks in New York City resulted in some deaths of NYPD police officers, that caused a nationwide number for
the year to spike, but that didn't indicate any particular uptick in violence against police
officers.
So similarly, by spreading the investigations and arrests around the country, the bottom
line number for the domestic terror investigations for the particular year or for at this point
two years hasn't been changed, but it's given the illusion that there's an ongoing domestic
violence, domestic terrorism violence problem that is going around the country.
Again, folks, I don't want to, I want to be very careful here.
I mean, anyone can do hysteria.
Oh, shocking studying.
I get it.
And I, you know, we, we put those words sometimes on our clips because they're true, but I want to be careful in my own words here.
To give you a really sober analysis of how deeply troubling this is.
We have a law enforcement entity, the FBI, one of the most powerful law enforcement agencies in the entire world, that an agent on the inside who became a whistleblower, suggesting that they're not investigating it with a law enforcement purpose, but a political one.
And yet, it's bizarre.
No one in the media seems to care.
I want to take his analogy one step further about what happened tragically on 9-11.
Imagine for a moment, say you wanted to portray the narrative that police officers were being killed all over the country, everywhere, in a spate of anti-police violence.
Troubling narrative, right?
You know, one if you were a conservative, you'd want out there.
So let's flip the script.
Imagine saying, here, look at this data point.
We have seen, you know, hundreds of law enforcement officers killed in the same week from all over the country.
You'd be like, oh my gosh, what's happening?
Is there a riot?
And then you find out afterwards that what they're actually talking about is 9-11.
And even though they were all killed in the same spot, they were using the birthplace of the law enforcement officer, many of whom were born in different states, to suggest the attacks happened there.
Do you understand that's what he's saying about January 6th?
That rather than open the case in D.C.
and investigate it as a single incident of whatever they choose to call it, terror, insurrection, whatever it is, that they're spreading the cases around to make it appear there's this big nationwide spate of anti-government, MAGA-inspired violence.
That's a political story.
That's not the real story.
Where's the press on this?
The answer is nowhere to be found.
Now, combine this now fully corrupted FBI.
That, folks, needs to be disbanded.
It's not defunded.
Do not confuse the two and do not let liberal morons confuse you either.
We need law enforcement and we need quality counterintelligence and intelligence work.
The FBI is not doing that.
They're a political entity.
Therefore, they have a multi-billion dollar budget.
Take that money, expand it by 10%, 15%.
Disband the agency, get the good employees, take them, they'll still be 1811s, put them in other agencies, and spread the Intelligence and Law Enforcement Agency over there to other agencies where they'll actually do the work.
The FBI's finished.
It's not working.
Period.
Combine that corrupted political FBI now with a China-like surveillance state, and ladies and gentlemen, we got a real problem.
The FBI's ripping down... I don't want to exaggerate.
The FBI knocking on pro-lifers' doors, arresting them, pulling them out of their homes, arresting and serving search warrants on conservative former presidents.
Combine that with full-time surveillance, and we've got a real, real problem on our hands.
This was another clip from my show this week, and again, short.
I'm sorry if you've seen it.
I don't mean to be redundant, but it's critical.
We had an author on, a guy by the name of Michael Rechtenwald.
It was one of Guy's suggestions.
It was a good one.
He wrote this book called The Google Archipelago, a take on the Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenitsyn, talking about digital IDs, digital IDs, vaccine passports, and this new surveillance state future and the dangers of it.
Here's what he said this weekend about that, and combine this, what he says, with a now corrupt FBI willing to knock on your door because you're a Trump supporter or a pro-lifer, and tell me again how we live in a functioning constitutional republic while I laugh at you.
Check this out.
They pose a gravest threat to individual liberty of any technological mechanism that we've seen to date.
But you've outlined it pretty well here.
We're talking about the ability to track and trace and surveil upon subjects from the cradle to the grave, effectively.
From the beginning of your life, or your children's lives, or your grandchildren's lives, they'll have biometric Uh, identity markers placed on you and connected with this digital ID.
And then all records about all activity will be associated with it.
This is not simply some identification.
This is a database that is kept in a centralized place by the state.
And then is a collection of all activities from the beginning of your life onward.
And this includes, of course, vaccine status, which is one of the main motivations for rolling this out.
They want to have a way to track your vaccine status and to surveil upon that to make sure that you're complicit.
How do you listen to that in a supposedly functioning constitutional republic and not have to get a diaper?
I'm serious.
He's talking about this growing global push for digital IDs.
Listen, rewind that.
Play it again.
You have control on Rumble and just hit the 15, 20 second back button or all that stuff on Apple or Spotify.
Just listen to that again.
It is a cradle-to-grave surveillance mechanism combined with digital currency to make sure there is no more personal self.
Everything you do, the government will know.
You should read his book, Google Archipelago, about how dangerous this stuff is getting.
Now, I was sent this by a listener and it reminded me of something.
This is a 2019 article from Business Insider.
But again, do you think we're any different than China?
Oh, Dan, Chinese Communist Party.
They watch their people all the time.
It's totally different than what we do.
Really?
Is it?
Business Insider.
China reportedly made an app to show people if they're standing near someone in debt, a new part of its intrusive social credit policy.
Can you imagine this?
Intrusive?
Yeah, he's like, intrusive?
That's kind of underselling it a bit, no?
So you're standing there, you're at a traffic light, you're getting ready to get a bagel across the street, and you get a little notification on your iPhone, the person next to you is $100,000 in debt.
Oh my gosh, that'll never, I know.
Don't worry Joe, that'll never happen here.
It's not like they raided a former president's home, spied on him.
And Facebook went after the account on direct message of an FBI agent who was a whistleblower.
Oh, I didn't even play that part of the interview.
The FBI agent, his wife, Steve Friend's wife, sent a direct message on Facebook.
Not a public post!
A direct message and found herself suspended on her Facebook account when she communicated with Moms4Liberty.
Did they get a notification, Moms4Liberty, at a traffic light?
The lady next to you is an FBI agent's wife sending you a message.
It's here now!
I'd like to believe this show without sounding ridiculous.
We're in any way self-celebratory.
But I would like to believe this show, we have been the Paul Reveres of the anti-full-throated government surveillance future.
Folks, you're in real trouble here if we don't stop this right away.
You want another article blow your mind?
It's popped this weekend.
Mary Anastasia O'Grady at the Wall Street Journal.
She writes about South and Central America.
So Mexico's military got hacked.
That's the gist of the article, but that's not what I'm reading through.
I read through the journal every night.
I really love it, even though it's kind of center.
Sometimes I left the center.
It's a great, but their op-ed column is just unparalleled.
I enjoy it.
And I'm reading this article about this devastating hack of the Mexican military.
They got their hands on just about everything, a treasure trove of stuff.
How the military is working with, you know, narco traffickers and like mobsters.
It's a stunning article, but that's what caught my eye.
You can read it if you'd like.
What caught my eye was this last paragraph, literally the last paragraph, kind of like almost a throwaway.
So she says, Mary O'Grady talking about it says, you know, all this other stuff I just mentioned, if that weren't enough to unnerve Mexicans, this NGO network for the defense of digital rights, working with some other groups.
Alleged earlier this month that since 2019, the Mexican government has used Pegasus spyware to hack into devices of at least one human rights activist and two journalists.
You're like, Pegasus, Dan.
Pegasus.
I've heard that on your show.
What's Pegasus?
Oh, yeah.
Pegasus is no click malware.
Created by this Israeli company.
In other words, if the government sends you a text or a link.
Oh, I know Dan, I don't click on that stuff.
You don't have to click on it.
That's the point.
It's no click.
Meaning they have your number, they have your phone.
Period.
That's what Pegasus is.
She notes Pegasus is designed to track terrorists and criminals, but former President Rike Peña Nieto
was accused in 2017 of using it to spy on his political adversaries.
Oh boy, folks.
I'm telling you, I've warned you.
Digital IDs, digital currency, Pegasus, no-click malware, vaccine mandates, mask mandates.
I have warned you over and over.
Stuff is coming.
So this is going to be, you know, if I wanted to sound cute, it would be Flashback Friday.
You know, FF, all that stuff.
But it's no time to be cute.
It's Monday.
So it's going to be Flashback Monday.
I want to play two videos for you coming up in a second.
And let me say, without having to endorse every single thing these men say or do, I'm talking about you, me, and anyone else, they said things that I think are worth entertaining.
These are going to be flashbacks.
One from Ron Paul on a presidential debate.
Back, I think, around the end of the aughts, because I saw Giuliani on the stage too.
He's in a presidential debate warning about the explosive growth of big government and the trading of liberty for security.
Sounds like something I just said, right?
And I'm going to play Julian Assange back in 2011.
You don't have to endorse everything people say, but on this show we support free speech.
And if someone says something compelling years ago that sadly looks like it's come to fruition now, then you're darn right we're going to play it.
Flashback Monday.
Coming up in a second.
Let me get to this first.
Our last sponsor, American Financing.
When I talk about how fast and efficient American financing is, I really mean it.
I know this company.
I've spoken to them many times.
They're good people.
Don't just listen to me.
Listen to what Brad had to say about his recent experience with American financing.
In less than three weeks, he got a check to pay off his credit card debt and saved almost $700 a month.
No hassle and great customer service.
That's what they're committed to.
When they say they're going to do something, American financing does it.
That's why I recommend American financing.
So if you're looking to pay off debt faster and save a few hundred dollars a month, now is the time to call American financing America's home for home loans.
There are no upfront or hidden fees to pay.
There's no pressure obligations, no tricks.
Why wouldn't you want to learn more?
It's easy.
It really takes only 10 minutes to start when you call.
Here's American Financing's number.
Write this down.
888-994-7660.
Again, the number is 888-994-7660.
Or visit AmericanFinancing.net.
That's AmericanFinancing.net.
NMLS182334.
NMLSConsumerAccess.org.
or visit American financing.net.
That's American financing.net and MLS 1, 8, 2, 3, 3, 4, and MLS consumer access.org. Thanks American financing.
So here we go on flashback Monday on transnational elites and the growing
surveillance state. Um, Maybe we should have listened to some of these warnings.
As they say, back in the day.
Here's Ron Paul at a presidential debate.
Keep in mind the story I just told you about the FBI and the growing surveillance state.
Listen to this.
Don't we remember that when you sacrifice liberty for security, you lose both?
That's what's happening in this country today.
We have a national ID card on our doorsteps, and it's being implemented right now.
We have FISA courts, we have warrantless searches, we've lost habeas corpus, we've had secret prisons around the world, and we have torture going on.
That's un-American, and we need to use the power of the presidency to get it back in order to take care of us and protect this country and our liberties.
Ron Paul, warning about FISA courts, secret prisons, In light of the January 6 gulags, the attacks on pro-lifers, the entire Spygate operation.
Kind of weird.
Oh, he's a kook.
He's a nut.
Who's a real nut?
Weird.
Weird, right Joe?
Weird.
Who's really a nut?
The fact checkers telling you you didn't hear what you heard with your own ears and so with your own eyes from a Pfizer executive?
Who's really nuts?
Them?
Or Ron Paul?
Here's Julian Assange, by the way.
Hat tip, I saw this from Mike Cernovich's Twitter account.
I always like to give attributions.
It's not his video, but he's the one.
It's where I found it.
Good follow, by the way, on Twitter.
This was Julian Assange back in 2011, talking about transnational elites and the war in Afghanistan.
Again, you don't have to endorse everything.
I'm not asking you to do that, that these people say or do.
I certainly don't.
I have an open mind.
I make my own decisions.
But kind of strange, given light of the awful, dreadful Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan.
That he said this, check this out.
The goal is not to completely subjugate Afghanistan.
The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the United States, out of the tax bases of European countries, through Afghanistan, and back into the hands of a transnational security elite.
That is the goal, i.e.
the goal is to have an endless war, not a successful war.
Strange.
So weird how these people like say all this stuff and they're all kooks, lunatics, crazy people.
All right, moving on.
Here's the biggest LOL ever.
You know, I know the LOL stuff is kind of like amateur hour, but this is like really an LOL emoji LOL guy.
He did like an emoji to pop on this.
This is...
So the, I had a tough time processing this one.
So the Democrats, who will support any easing of sensible voter laws, any easing of voter, I mean, if you, really, if there was a law that allowed dead people to vote twice, Democrats would support it.
Anything that secures the voting system and makes it hard to cheat, the Democrats absolutely hate it.
They will support vote by mail, vote by carrier pigeon, vote by mental telepathy, vote by skywriting, anything!
Now all of a sudden, Ron DeSantis, in light of a grotesquely tragic hurricane, which you're now aware of, Ian, on the west coast of Florida, if you're not, you've been in a cave.
Governor Ron DeSantis, the voting centers in Naples and that area have been wiped out.
There's an election in what, 20-something days?
So Governor DeSantis is like, hey, listen, we gotta do something to enable these people to vote.
Now all of a sudden the Democrats are upset.
Why would they be upset?
Making it, facilitating voting in Lee County and Collier County, Florida.
Oh, that's right.
Those are Republican-leaning areas in an R plus 15 or more district.
That's right.
So just to be clear, the Democrats love mail-in ballots and easing voting rules, except after tragic hurricanes in red counties.
Just again, to be crystal clear.
Joe.
So strange.
Washington Post.
Strange.
Strange.
Lori Raza.
DeSantis changes voting rules for some counties hit by Ian.
Sparking criticism!
Governor Ron DeSantis is making it easier for voters to cast ballots in three southwestern Florida counties hit hard by Hurricane Ian.
And our bastions for GOP support.
Sparking criticism!
He's politicizing a natural disaster.
You've got to be kidding me.
No, I'm not.
No, I'm not.
I don't have to be kidding because I'm not.
This is really like epic stuff.
I'm just leaving it there because I don't want to waste it.
The stupidity speaks for itself, okay?
Make voting easier.
Okay, let's make it easier.
They were involved in a hurricane.
They lost everything.
Not them!
They vote Republican.
Not them.
Oh, here's another huge media LOL.
The way the media treats John Fetterman, disastrous candidate in Pennsylvania for Senate versus Hershel Walker, a Republican candidate down in Georgia.
Remember Dasha Byrne?
She interviewed John Fetterman.
She was a reporter.
Remember when she said this just about a week ago?
Check it out.
Another pivotal Senate race in Pennsylvania, now considered a toss-up.
Our Dasha Byrne spoke with Democrat John Fetterman in his first in-person sit-down interview since he suffered a stroke.
And Dasha, this was not a typical candidate interview.
No, Lester.
Because of his stroke, Vetterman's campaign required closed captioning technology for this interview to essentially read our questions as we ask them.
And Lester, in small talk before the interview, without captioning, it wasn't clear he was understanding our conversation.
Wow, that's kind of big news, right?
You've got a U.S.
Senate candidate.
Again, I mean this from the bottom of my heart with all sincerity.
I wish the man and his family the best with regards to his health.
I went through a health crisis.
Liberals wished death upon me.
It was disgusting.
Having said that, the man had a stroke and a serious one.
And one of the requirements of the job is that you understand and can process the English language.
There's no closed captioning on the Senate floor.
That's not a shot at Fetterman.
It's a fact.
If he can't do it, that's worthy of reporting.
Hat tip to that reporter who actually reported what happened.
Well, Dasha Burns, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh my gosh, the assault on her has been relentless.
The media and the Democrats are furious that a reporter, Joe, did actual reporting and didn't echo Democrat talking points.
They're furious.
Amazing.
So much.
Amazing.
The rights group is reporting this.
John Fetterman's wife, Gisele, is actually demanding an apology and consequences for Dasha Burns.
Consequences?
This is hilarious.
Here it is, though.
The media, by the way, is totally piling on, too.
Media people are piling on this reporter for telling the truth that Fetterman is having difficulty processing language.
Now, Hershel Walker, who has no problem processing language at all, but happens to be a black Republican, so that, you know, they really hate him.
I mean, he's black and he's a Republican.
That's like two things they really can't stand, liberals, right?
Being black and being Republican.
They hate that.
Here's the New York Times on Hershel Walker.
Herschel Walker is a butcher of language.
He is!
Charles Blow.
Oh yeah.
Herschel Walker, butcher of language.
This is epic.
Not John Fetterman.
Difficult processor of language.
No, no, no.
Herschel Walker is the butcher of language.
Good point, Joe.
What about the guy in the White House?
They can't even bother with it.
That's beyond their comprehension.
That's way too much.
You make your own judgments.
Sorry, stumbled there.
Butchering my own language.
You make your own judgments right here about Herschel Walker.
He was in a debate this weekend with Raphael Warnock over the Senate race in Georgia.
Sounds to me like Herschel Walker sounds just fine with the language.
Sounds like Warnock and Fetterman, who are butchers of language.
Here he is when Raphael Warnock, you know, who claims he's some reverend, right?
I mean, reverend, right?
Really?
You're a man of God?
Supports abortion?
How's that work out?
Here's Hershel Walker.
Why aren't you baptizing those babies?
Check this out.
He told me black lives matter.
And if you think about it, Senator, in Atlanta, Georgia, there's more black babies that is aborted Than anything.
So if black lives matter, why are you not protecting those babies?
And instead of aborting those babies, why are you not baptizing those babies?
Interesting.
He didn't really need closed captioning for that.
Nope.
Sound like a butcher of language to me.
So no screen in front of him.
He didn't even have any special rules in his debate like Fetterman.
But Charles Blow says he's a butcher of language.
He was Hershel Walker again.
In one of the greatest debate lines I have ever heard.
Raphael Warnock said, the government doesn't belong in the delivery room for the baby, it's too crowded in there.
And Herschel Walker has, well he didn't say baby, that's actually the kicker.
Herschel Walker had one of the greatest comebacks I've ever heard.
Listen to this.
I stand where I've said I've stood in the past.
That a patient's room is too narrow and small and cramped a space for a woman, her doctor, and the United States government.
We are witnessing right now, What happens when politicians, most of them men, pile into patients' rooms?
You get what you're seeing right now.
And the women of Georgia deserves a senator who will stand with them.
I trust women more than I trust politicians.
May I, may I respond?
Very quickly, Mr. Walker.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, it is, and I heard about him today.
I heard he was, he was, he's a neat talker.
But did he not mention that there was a baby in that room as well?
Ladies and gentlemen, probably one of the finest comebacks I have ever seen a debate.
I'm not kidding.
I say that as objectively as I can.
Not saying there weren't some moments Walker probably would have loved to take stuff back.
Warnock had some decent moments too.
I've never seen a better moment in a debate.
There's a baby in that room, too.
Doesn't look like a butcher of language to me.
There's a lot of butchering going on in the abortion business.
That ain't Hershel Walker butchering the language.
Here's another fraud candidate.
We'll close out with this.
Probably the worst candidate for governor in the country.
And believe me, that I get is subjective.
But this woman is just terrible.
She is one of the worst candidates I have ever seen.
Arizona Democrat candidate for governor, Katie Hobbs.
A colossal, complete embarrassment, even to Democrats who are all making fun of her.
Because she won't debate Carrie Lake.
Because Carrie Lake is just brilliant.
The Republican nominee.
She's just running away.
She's doing the Fetterman.
But unlike that, she just claims not to need closed captioning.
And she still won't debate her.
Here is even CNN like, really?
You're not gonna debate her?
Check this out.
A lot of Democrats are questioning your decision.
And they're saying it's the wrong decision.
President Biden's former 2020 co-chair said, I would debate and I would want the people of Arizona to know what my platform is.
If you think she's as dangerous as you're saying to democracy, is it your responsibility as a candidate who wants to run Arizona to show and explain who their alternative is?
That is exactly what I'm doing right now.
And there is a lot more ability to have a conversation with you without her interruptions and shouting to do that.
He said it right.
They're all trying the Biden basement strategy, which was, I think, a one time off deal because of COVID.
Katie Hobbs is the worst candidate for governor in the entire country.
Really horrible.
Again, she doesn't even need closed captioning, or claim to.
