Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.
So I'm kind of stoked about all the feedback we got about the studio.
So in case you missed last week's show, I'm seriously looking into buying a studio, a nice size building.
Get to get away from this small little office we're in now that's kind of secreted in the middle of nowhere in kind of a bunker, almost like Levin's.
And we'd be able to have a lot of you in this in the studio to watch the show if you'd be interested in that stuff.
So I'll keep you updated on that.
It's been a busy weekend in news.
Ladies and gentlemen, it was a huge win.
It was a huge win for conservatives.
We got meat on the bone.
Now we got to stick to it, stick to the plan, and make sure all of the concessions, we'll call them, made for a more prosperous America are stuck to by the establishment side.
But it was a huge win.
All of the naysayers now should keep quiet.
The conservatives, chest out, chin up.
You did a great thing last week in the Speaker's race.

All right, Joseph, on this Monday, let's go.
It is Monday, Dan.
Let's go.
Yes, sir.
And I am Bob.
I have been itching, itching to get back on the show since my Saturday night show on Fox because so much happened.
We got the win.
We got a huge win in the speaker's race.
We got a lot of concessions.
Yas McCarthy did pull it out.
Obviously, if you were to listen to the show last week, many of you did.
Thank you for that.
We had a tremendous listenership and viewership numbers last week.
I preferred someone different.
I would have preferred Jim Jordan.
Obviously, I mean, said that last week.
I also would have preferred Byron Donalds.
But now that we've got a speaker, I'm also interested in tactics and moving the country forward.
We got a country to govern, a country to fix.
So we got to fix it.
So let's do it.
Before I get to that, I want to just talk again about gaslighting.
I'm going to get to that.
I'm going to kind of bookend the show with this today.
The importance of gaslighting and all of this.
What's gaslighting?
You need to tattoo this on your cerebral cortex.
So it's right there at the tip of your fingers immediately.
When it's at the tip of your fingers and at the front of your brain right away, you'll know to recognize it when you see it.
Gaslighting is getting people to believe in an alternate reality.
In other words, not the reality, the real world, the fake world, the matrix world they want you to believe in, right?
Who does this primarily?
The media, in conjunction with the libs, academics, elitists, Hollywood types.
They get you to believe that the world you live in isn't the real world.
It's a liberal world that's a real one.
Where people are all benevolent, you can raise taxes on the rich to pay for all of this stuff, all that crap.
School choice doesn't matter.
The components of gaslighting are very simple.
You have to lie about the world, you have to lie often about the world, you have to lie confidently about the world, but the critical component of gaslighting I brought up often is what, fellas?
You should know this right away.
Isolate people from the truth.
Yeah.
Because once people wake up from the matrix and they see the truth, they'll never go back.
That happened this weekend.
This is the one story I'm putting at the front of the show I was so itching to get back on the air and talk about.
So Biden, who now I think it's pretty clear wants to run for president again, which is on its face tragically comical.
Tragic because the guy's in no condition to be doing anything, to be running a lemonade stand, no less being president.
His cognitive condition is deteriorating by the day.
But the fact that this guy, that's the tragic part, but comical because the man has absolutely no skills for the job whatsoever outside of the fact that he's a liar and a plagiarist.
And he wants to run again?
The border crisis, fentanyl crisis, inflation crisis, the economy, everything's been going bad with this guy.
So he goes down to the border.
You see the Daily Mail covered it, Rob Crilley, be in the newsletter today, Bongino.com slash newsletter if you want to check these stories out as always.
He goes down to the border.
Why did he go down to the border?
Because of how I just opened it up.
Because Biden wants to run for president again.
You guys know how those two stories are connected?
You know, right?
So he doesn't want to be up on the debate stage with Trump or DeSantis or anyone else.
And he doesn't want to have to answer the question, did you go to the border?
Ladies and gentlemen, that's the only reason he went to the border.
That's why he went on a weekend during a news cycle dominated by the Speaker of the House race, hoping you'd forget about it.
I didn't forget about it!
So he chose El Paso because there's apparently some Democrats down there that'll be willing to help him out a little bit.
He chose El Paso and he went down there and as the Daily Mail reported, crisis?
What crisis?
El Paso clears migrant camps ahead of Biden's trip to the border?
As frustrated agents say numbers always fall in January, he might as well have gone to Des Moines.
Gaslighting.
Biden running again, tie it all together.
He needs to isolate you from the truth.
So the whole purpose of going to El Paso to see the immigration crisis, where the city's been overrun by illegal immigrants, is to what, gents?
Is to actually see the immigration crisis.
It's like going to see an art show and clearing the walls of any actual art.
You go to the immigration hot zone to see how bad it is, not to wink and nod to El Paso local officials and say, hey, clean up the city so we can go down there and walk around and make the situation look better than it really is.
They are isolating you from the truth.
This was done strategically, in January, on a weekend, in the midst of a big news cycle with the Speaker of the House race, so you would never see it, and so he can run for President again and say on the debate stage, I'm all over this, I've been down to the border, look, here's the footage, it's not that bad down there.
Folks, if this sounds like the kind of stuff that happens in North Korea, with government agitprop and propaganda, and the media playing along the entire time, And you'd be absolutely right.
Yes, sir!
Notice, right?
Notice how only conservative and kind of right-leaning news outlets, right, are reporting on this at all.
You will hear nothing from media people who are acting exactly like Pravda and the North Korea Media Act.
Kim Jong-un goes to a Potemkin village, right?
Everybody's starving to death.
The day before, they tell everyone, you better clap.
And by the way, if you're the first one to stop clapping, we're putting you up against the wall, putting a bullet in your head.
Everybody's like, And the media is like, this is our media.
Clear the streets.
The only people reporting on it are conservative media outlets.
Other media outlets pretending to be journalists are making pretend this is all going to go away.
I just want to remind you again, by the way, for the third time, because I've been getting tons of questions on this.
There are some people out there still can't believe this is real.
Tie it all together as we move into the Speaker's race and all the massive concessions we got, right?
The reason we fought conservatives in that Speaker's race for more rules going forward to restrain the government from its out-of-control spending and garbage policymaking Is precisely because of stuff like this, which ties to the border and Joe Biden fake visiting the border to gaslight you.
People don't believe this is real.
The omnibus spending bill just signed, where all of these crap things are thrown into a bill at the same time, in this witch's brew of garbage, right, called an omnibus?
In there was buried this little gem.
So whenever Biden tells you he's fighting for more money to secure the border and Republicans are stopping him, nonsense.
This is in the bill signed.
None of the funds provided in the subsection of this bill should be used to, or shall be used, to acquire, maintain, or extend border security technology and capabilities.
It's right there, folks.
It's in the, look at the show on Rumble.
We had another 100,000 followers last week on Rumble.
Rumble.com slash Bongino.
Look, it's right there.
The funds that Biden says he's fighting for, for Republicans, the reason they won't give it to him is because they're prohibiting the funds to be used for actual border security.
It's in the freaking bill.
Look at it yourself.
It's right there.
Hat tip, uh, Republican Congressman Dan Bishop for exposing this on his Twitter account.
Let's tie it all together as you move on to the speaker thing.
Biden's gaslighting, Biden's lying, Biden's doing this to run for president again.
Conservatives are a smaller wing of the House of Representatives, but a larger wing of the Republican Party in general in the country.
A lot of rhinos win primaries.
I wish they didn't, but they do.
They have an outsized presence.
A good portion of the Republican Party is conservative.
We leveraged our power, even though it was small, to get better rules to prevent an omnibus like this, where stuff like this gets stuffed in there and nobody sees it till after the fact.
They said, we're not doing omnibus crap anymore.
We're going to do 12 individual bills, do the normal appropriations process, which is the way it's supposed to happen, through committee, so people can see stuff like this, debate it on television, and expose it before anyone signs it.
We won.
I'm getting tired of all the negative Nancy's on the Republican side.
Oh my gosh, we had a few days of chaos and infighting, chaos and infighting.
Extremists stopped us.
Chaotic.
Really?
I'll get back to the whole gaslighting thing on the vaccine and stuff and some other issues in a minute, but now I want to get to this part.
Why we fought against things like the omnibus and why the speakers race was so important.
What did I tell you last week?
And I hope a lot of you took it to heart.
That if you're out there on Twitter and your social media, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, whatever it is, And you're promoting this.
This is chaos!
Extremists holding us hostage.
You are parroting left-wing narratives.
And let me just tell you something.
From strategy, SWAT analysis, and political battlefield tactics here.
When you are repeating the narrative of your opponents, you are probably screwing up.
I don't know how some moderate McCarthy folks didn't understand that.
Here's what I mean.
Here's the whip on the Democrat side, Catherine Clark, this far leftist, right?
On CNN.
I want you to listen to the specific talking points she's sure to get out.
And I want you to say to yourself, gosh, this kind of sounds like some of the establishmentarians on the Republican side, what they were saying.
Why are you bringing this up now?
The fight's over.
Because folks, we have to get better at this in the future.
We have to get better at this in the future.
And unless we learn to recognize it and expose it, nothing's gonna change.
We finally got some changes.
You should be proud here.
Listen to talking points to the left.
And you're going to say to yourself, gosh, this sounds like some of the establishment areas.
Check this out.
You know, we have shown Jake that Democrats stand ready at all times to work for the American people.
And it is exactly the American people and the solutions they need to meet the challenges that were completely left out of the speaker's chaos.
You catch it?
I had to write them all down.
I'm going to make sure I didn't miss it.
national security, but it also showed that the keys have been handed over to extremists.
You catch it? I had to write them all down. I didn't want, I'm going to make sure I didn't
miss it. So this is a radical leftist leadership on the house Democrat side. Excuse me.
They're approved talking points because they're like the Borg.
They think with a hive mind, unlike Republicans who are uniquely liberty-minded, entrepreneurial, and we believe in individual liberty.
We don't think like the Borg, and I'm proud of that.
I said it in Fox & Friends this weekend.
She's already out there parroting the talking points.
This is chaos.
That the national security was at risk.
This is the party that invented the Russia hoax, spied on the president, and wasted the FBI's time for six years spying on Americans and censoring them on social media.
Hard pass, Kathy Clark.
Hard pass on your national security nonsense.
She's made that up, by the way.
And then you're all extremists.
As I said to you last week, I am, listen folks, I'm not good at a lot, but I'm good at this, okay?
I'm okay at some stuff, but I am really, really, I'm sorry, self-praise stinks, I should stop that.
We are, the whole team, because everybody picks it out.
Joe's been in this business a long time, he's been in it long enough, and when you run for office and there's a real penalty, you learn to recognize this stuff really quick.
When you see a Democrat-approved narrative and we're repeating it, it's probably a bad idea.
Now, one of the people who, listen, she has some good moments and bad moments, I don't want to pile on, but Nancy Mace really was an embarrassment this weekend.
Nancy Mace is a Republican, a Republican Congresswoman from South Carolina.
She's had some good moments.
When she has good moments, we feature on the show.
We did Joe Cut the video, what, four weeks ago?
Her going after that activist, it was great.
This, however, this weekend was a total embarrassment.
She was on the air talking about Gaetz being a Fraud.
I'll get to in a second how she's talking about, you know, I may hold up this new rules package.
The whole caucus just basically agreed to this thing.
And are you going to vote against it?
I'll show you what she claims she's voting against.
But I want you to notice the framing in this Hill article to show you again how these people aren't serious when conservatives fight for conservative causes.
And they get conservative causes accomplished, like new rules which will restrain government spending.
And I'll show you all of this in a minute.
I'm gonna put meat on the bone.
You notice how they're framed as chaos agents, national security risks, and extremists?
Yet when now Nancy Mace, who we want to get the business of governing done, these agreements have been made, Nancy Mace, who's a more establishment kind of McCarthy-ite wing of the party, Nancy Mace says, well, listen, I may be holding this stuff up.
All of a sudden, the framing is totally different of Nancy Mace.
She's not a chaos agent.
Look at this.
The Hill.
Chaos.
GOP rep Nancy Mace.
What backroom deals were cut to secure speakership for McCarthy?
Backroom deals?
You mean the deals we watched happen live on Fox News as they did it on live television?
Backroom deals.
You mean nobody knew about this?
They were reported everywhere.
But you notice the framing.
Get the framing here.
God not only knows how many deals Nancy Mace cut, you know, backroom deals, right?
But that doesn't matter.
So here, Nancy May says she's nervous about backroom deals cut here.
Says she's considering holding back her support of a House of Rules package.
Oh, really?
Does that make her an extremist?
A chaos agent?
A national security risk?
She says she saw a small faction cutting backroom deals.
What deals?
Folks, this is just a humiliating, horrible embarrassment.
Now listen, Nancy Mace, as I said about our guys, the actual conservatives, was elected by a constituency in South Carolina, and Nancy Mace has the right to speak out.
Period.
Unlike Nancy Mace, I actually believe in your ability to speak out.
She doesn't believe in anyone else, and she only believes in hers.
Now the interesting thing is 20 people objected to Kevin McCarthy.
Only her and Tony Gonzalez at this point, another Republican, appear to be vocally, openly objected to the rules package.
And yet Nancy Mace feels the need to speak out, even though she says the other 20, who are 18 more than her and Tony Gonzalez, don't have the right to speak.
This is really weird.
It's almost like they're phonies.
So what exactly is Nancy Mace fighting against?
Well, let's check it out.
This is interesting.
Washington Times article.
I want you to read this one.
This is an important article.
It's in the newsletter today.
Again, Bongino.com slash newsletter.
And if you're a constituent of Nancy Mace in South Carolina, my recommendation would be to respectfully give her a call and an email today to her office and ask her what specific thing in this deal that she says was a back room.
Yet, Joe, this is really weird.
It was such a backroom deal that almost everyone in the media seems to have the details of it, including Ramsey Touchberry from the Washington Times.
So strange.
Such a backroom deal.
Weird.
I beat you to the punch on it.
Almost.
I think I got the W out before you.
But so weird that Joe and I reported on it last week.
Such a backroom deal.
We already knew about it.
So I want you to ask Nancy Mace what specifically she objects to.
So here's just some of the things they cover.
I won't even go through all of them.
We covered them last week.
But among the deals known is a measure that weakens the speaker's power by allowing any one member to force a vote on vacating the chair.
That sounds like a good thing to me.
That was only the rule for what?
Congress upon Congress upon Congress until Nancy Pelosi changed it?
Remember, forcing a vote on vacating the chair doesn't mean you vacate the chair.
It means you're going to force a vote on the floor.
You still need a majority to get rid of him.
What's wrong with that?
Does she object to a reinstatement of the ability for lawmakers to offer amendments on appropriations?
Sounds good to me.
I'd like that.
Cleaning up bills via the amendment process?
What about a mandated 72-hour window to review legislation before a vote?
Does she object to that?
72 hours?
I'd like it to be longer.
What about a promise to vote on a bill to invoke term limits on members of Congress?
Does she object to that?
Fair enough.
Put it down up here.
Tell us.
Tell us what you object to.
Oh, there's more!
Here, from the Washington Times article.
Again, this was the backroom deal everybody seems to know about.
Some backroom deal.
McCarthy also agreed to cap government spending at 2022 levels.
Does she object to that?
To create a subcommittee to investigate the Justice Department?
And to put more Freedom Caucus representation on certain committees?
Put it down on paper, Nancy.
We'd love to see it.
I'd love to see exactly what you object to.
Exactly.
If you're in South Carolina, please, give her office a ring.
Send her an email and ask her what she objects to.
I'd love to see it.
Folks, again, when you're pirating liberal talking points, Like this, about chaos and extremists and backroom deals.
You're probably not doing the tactically efficient thing.
If your battlefield enemy wants you to scatter in a certain direction because they have an ambush waiting for you, and you're scattering in that direction, you're probably not doing the right thing.
Just a note.
I'll show you what I mean again in a second with a just ridiculous liberal talking head, Mara Gay, who hilariously writes for the New York Times, how she's blaming the whole thing here.
There's conservative holdouts who got these massive concessions, which are a good thing.
She's blaming it on what?
Racism, of course.
Gotta hit the R button.
Yeah, of course.
I mean, come on, Joe.
Definitely racist.
Yeah.
Let me get to this first.
Today's show also brought to you by GetRefunds.com.
You own a business?

Thanks.
GetRefunds.com.
We appreciate it.
Okay.
So here is leftist talking head commentator.
I'll show you who she really is in a minute.
You're going to laugh.
A person with a, probably a double digit IQ, I would guess, but she writes for the New York times and she realizes that she can attack these GOP holdouts who got concessions.
Even though McCarthy won, we got some, it was a huge win for us.
And of course, she's jealous and envious because they want to spend money.
They don't want caps on spending.
They want to bankrupt the United States.
That's their thing.
So of course, she's got to go to a it's racist card.
Check this out.
I've been thinking about watching this ordeal unfold is Fox News's impact not only on the Republican Party, but actually also on Republican voters.
I mean, what must the voters who sent these individuals to Washington think of our government?
If this is who they sent, I mean, you know, when you talk to some of these individuals, you get a sense that, you know, well, politicians are all crooks anyway, and the government's a joke anyway, or you know what, let's burn it to the ground.
And really, that's what these people were sent to do, or to make a mockery of it.
I mean, the other element here you touched upon a couple minutes ago, which is just that some of these individuals were people who were really only elected based on a litmus test to stop the tide of diversity in the country, the browning of America, the fears that surround that.
And so they were not elected to go do the work of government.
And you're seeing that now.
Guy said it, Joe.
Mary Gay stunned that conservatives aren't for bigger, more expansive, bankrupt governments.
She's shocked.
And she writes for the New York Times.
This is a stunning revelation for her.
She's like, they were sent up there to be chaos agents, destroy it all, burn it all down.
And by the way, they're racist too.
Again, Mary Gay's really not that bright.
Why would you say that, Dan?
Why would you say she's not that bright?
Well, I don't have to speculate.
I can just show you Mary Gay doing Mary Gay stuff.
Here was Mary Gay a while back on with Brian Williams.
You know Brian Williams.
Brian Williams, John J. Rambo of our time.
The guy who's, I mean, he's like Teddy Ruxpin.
You stick a quarter in him, he tells you a story.
She was on with Brian Williams.
This is Maragay.
These are the people that the Nancy Maces of the world, sadly, are parroting the talking points of.
These are the exact same people.
They're parroting the talking points.
Here's Maragay, who can't even do basic math with Brian Williams.
Check this out.
You see it as a possibility if he wants to spend a billion bucks beating this guy, he could do it.
Absolutely.
Somebody tweeted recently that actually with the money he spent, he could have given every American a million dollars.
I've got it.
Let's put it up on the screen.
When I read it tonight on social media, it kind of all became clear.
Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads.
U.S.
population $327 million.
Don't tell us if you're ahead of us on the math.
He could have given each American $1 million and have had lunch money left over.
It's an incredible way of putting it.
It's an incredible way of putting it.
It's true.
It's disturbing.
Erroneous!
Thank you, Vince.
It is erroneous and it's an incredible way of putting it because it's so stupid and ridiculous how you managed to derive those figures from that.
This isn't even complicated math.
It wasn't like they asked you for like a fifth order derivative in a complicated like calculus.
This was basic math.
This is Mara Gay, who's stunned conservatives' advanced conservatism.
And Guy brought up another point, which is true.
They just don't understand us.
It's a point we've made on the show often.
It's that old Jonah Goldberg piece he wrote, which we bring up all the time.
I'm not a huge fan of Jonah, but he's done some good stuff in the past.
And he wrote this article about how smokers, how we got smoking to largely stop in the country, the scale it was, because everybody knew a smoker and knew how to speak to them.
But he was contrasting it with liberals who just never seem to understand conservatives, gun owners, pro-life advocates.
Why?
Because they think we are bad people with ideas, not people with bad ideas.
So if it's a bad person and not a bad idea, or a bad person with a bad idea, it doesn't really matter.
You're not interested in negotiating with bad people.
That's it.
That's why Mara Gay has no idea who we are.
Believes we're all racist, doesn't understand anything about us at all, and humiliates herself on TV by not understanding how, you know, 3 plus 3 equals 6.
Now, you may be saying, and fair enough, because I like to give you non-slanted coverage, I had a, you know, listener, if I may be candid for a moment, Listener and viewer communications, emails, tweets, and Facebook messages.
I take a lot of it to heart.
I've had other hosts in the space who've been doing it a lot longer than me.
They say, Dan, ignore that stuff.
Do your own show.
I can't.
The show is for you.
And when people get upset about something, it matters.
Even if it's one person, it probably drives you crazy because you're like, why are you letting one person dominate the show?
But someone sent me a Facebook message last week during the radio show and said, Dan, you're giving slanted coverage of the speaker's race.
Folks, I really tried to pull myself out of my own, you know, we're all living in bubbles for a second.
I said, am I?
I'm a conservative.
I've admitted that.
I told you who I wanted.
I wanted Jim Jordan or someone else.
I didn't get it.
But I'm also candid and was honest last week that we don't have the votes either.
We only had 20 votes.
We needed 218 or 216, depending on the present votes, right?
Now that we got McCarthy, though, We got McCarthy, which wasn't my choice, but we got McCarthy, but we got these concessions.
A fair question for you to ask on the conservative side would be, OK, great.
How do we make sure the concessions stick now that Nancy Mace is already threatening to sabotage the deal?
OK, well, that's fair enough.
Well, the deal's not going to happen unless the 20 holdouts vote for the rules package, too.
Now, folks, do you really think Kevin McCarthy As his first move after the chaos the left says was last week in the Nancy Macy's of the world, right?
You think his first move he wants his rules package to go down in flames?
It might!
If the conservatives don't vote for it too, which would make him look even worse!
Washington Times, Chip Roy, who's one of us Republican conservative congressmen out of Texas, he'll be on my radio show today, warns McCarthy that the GOP is going to enforce the deal to secure his speakership.
Can I guarantee you, like Sealdon Bloodsby, Blood Brothers, remember that show?
Can I guarantee you in a blood pact that every single stipulation this deal is going to hold?
Folks, I can't, I would, if I, betting on Congress to keep its word is, that's just, that's just suicide.
You're just asking to die on that one.
Bet your, bet my life on it.
You will be struck down by lightning immediately.
Having said that, they do have the weapons to do it now.
And it's an imperfect process.
This is the best we had.
And keep in mind, these 20 holdouts can throw this deal out in a heartbeat and move to vacate, or do what they need to do if the rules package is pushed through.
We just gotta get Nancy Mason and them to get on board.
Chip Roy, who's never shown a... Roy hasn't disappointed us.
I believe they're going to do their best.
I'm not promising anything.
I'm not up there on Capitol Hill, folks.
I've been disappointed by congressmen in the past, including this guy, Dan Crenshaw.
Who, thankfully, apologized for calling colleagues, and us conservatives out there, terrorists and enemies.
Yeah, alright.
We'll see how sincere that apology is.
Crenshaw's got a history.
That was very... Joe was like... It was a sincere hand clap.
It was effusive praise from Joe.
Joe's very excited about that apology.
I'm not really sure that that apology, whatever we're going to call it, is going to stick from Crenshaw, but whatever.
As I said, I believe in tactics.
We need Crenshaw.
We need his vote.
To move the country actually forward, not like progressives say their version of progress is regress.
So, we'll see.
But know this.
You can rely on this show for an honest take on what's happening.
And listen, I love Chip Roy.
I love these guys.
I'm a big fan of Lauren Boebert and them too.
But if they turn around and flip on us, which I don't see happening, and become rhinos too, I'd call them out too.
And they know that.
They'd do the same to me.
And I'd expect that.
Now, I want to get back to framing in a second.
I've got a bunch of other stories to get to, including vaccine gaslighting.
They're losing their minds.
This case of athletes dying unexpectedly, some of them, and dropping on the field has Libs in an absolute panic.
A panic because they just don't want you to ask any questions.
I'm going to get to that.
I'm going to get to framing.
Got a lot more to get to.
Don't go anywhere.
And I got Hakeem Jeffries in possibly the worst speech I have ever heard from the House floor trying to frame up who the Democrats are.
He thinks he's framing the Republicans versus the Democrats, but it's really he makes the Democrats look bad.
It's awesome.

So Playbook, which is the liberal Bible, sent this out this weekend.
It's kind of hilarious.
It shows you again, the framing, how they're just so eager to paint everyone as chaos agents and extremists.
I just want to throw this out there quickly.
The clock starts ticking on McCarthy's speakership.
Here, you see it again, Joe?
Here's Playbook from Sunday.
The chaotic past week.
You see how the talking point went out?
The chaotic past week is just a prelude to what's shaping up to be an equally unstable, this is the new one, unstable, unstable next two years in the House.
Then they note these four dynamics.
So again, if you're a conservative or Republican and you're parroting chaos and unstable, no, a lefty focus group told you to say that.
I just want you to understand, you can say it, I believe in the First Amendment, and I'll defend your right to say it.
I just want you to understand you're parroting what the left wants.
And notice how they consider this Unstable.
So they cover what happened on the Rules Committee, something I haven't gotten into the wonkery of, because it's kind of complicated.
I had to do some homework on it myself.
So we got three seats, conservatives, on the House Rules Committee.
You're like, oh, why is that important?
Who cares?
Well, it's a big deal, because even as Politico notes in their chaos, instability argument, That since the 60s, the Rules Committee, which oversees the floor process and decides which amendments are considered, has been viewed as the Speaker's Committee, Joe, with each member handpicked by the leader and genuflecting to his will.
Now conservatives, eager to flex their domination, will dominate that panel and operate independently of leadership, effectively wielding veto power over legislation.
Well, that sounds good.
That sounds awesome.
What's the problem with that?
Stable.
This is chaos.
You see?
You see how liberals did this?
They'd be celebrating AOC and the squad and their efforts to tilt legislation towards a more liberal direction.
But when conservatives do it, it's unstable.
It's chaotic.
Trying to control our impending bankruptcy and control government spending.
I just want one final reminder before I move on that this is exactly what we're fighting.
I want you to listen to this lunatic, Hakeem Jeffries.
Democrat congressman from New York.
The minority leader.
Here's Jeffries in one of the worst speeches I've ever heard.
He's trying to contrast the Democrat versus the Republican Party.
But I want you to remember as you're listening to this, everything he says the Democrats are and the Republicans aren't is the other way around.
He's describing the Democrat Party to a tee in a case of absolute projection here.
Check this out.
House Democrats will always put American values over autocracy.
Benevolence over bigotry.
The Constitution over the cult.
Democracy over demagogues.
Economic opportunity over extremism.
Freedom over fascism.
Governing over gaslighting.
Hopefulness over hatred.
Inclusion over isolation.
Justice over judicial overreach.
Knowledge over kangaroo courts.
Liberty over limitation.
I had to cut the alphabet because he goes on for another minute with this nonsense.
But just if you get a second and listen to that again, and I want you to just pay really close attention to each one, how he's describing the Democrats.
And yet gaslighting, again, lying to people, lying off and lying confidently and isolating people from the truth, has America believing that they're the party of tolerance, that they're the party that spies on other people, wants religious people thrown in jail, wants everyone cancelled, loves censorship.
They want you to actually believe that they're the party doing the opposite.
Again, it's tragically comical watching all these idiots.
One of the worst speeches I've ever heard.
Now, back to the importance of gaslighting the liberals.
Why it's so critical.
I opened up the show talking about this today.
This gaslighting venture at the border.
Gaslighting is important because in order to get people to believe broken policies will work, you have to get them to believe that when these policies were enacted in the past, they didn't result in the horror you're seeing today.
In other words, a perfect example is a vaccine.
The endless pushing of vaccine mandates, mask mandates, jam this thing in your arm, despite the fact that any sound epidemiologist, regardless of their take on the vaccine, If they're speaking honestly on a polygraph and not doing the propaganda, and that's hard to find these days, we'll tell you that this thing was expedited on a fast timeline, this vaccine.
A timeline we haven't really seen in modern times for a vaccine to be used at this widespread level of use.
No serious person is going to tell you otherwise.
No one.
This was a unique situation.
And you know unique is one of the, oddly, one of the most overused words in the English language, which is weird.
But this was a very unique situation in our time.
To have the technology, the mRNA technology, that's only now, wasn't around 100 years ago, because pandemics aren't new, but pandemics with this kind of technology were.
To have them married up and have the technology rush to market in this specific vaccine, and to have hundreds of millions of people be forced to take this thing, was a unique situation in human history.
Because of that unique situation, we should be uniquely open to getting feedback on how that situation worked out, but we're not.
You dare ask questions about any athlete, younger person, that's suffering myocarditis or any potential complication from the vaccine.
And folks, you are in a world of trouble with the left.
They will come after you in a minute because as Hakeem Jeffries said, they're the party of tolerance, right?
And science?
Well, science is a longitudinal process where you get to see the results of things.
They don't want you to see the results of anything.
I was reading a story this weekend.
Forgive me.
I don't mean to get into his sides, but I was going through Twitter for some show prep.
And there's a lady who's admitted diehard lib pro vaccine person.
It was on a reputable site.
It wasn't like some made up story or anything like that.
And she gives her, I think it was her husband gets the vaccine, has a stroke the next day.
She doesn't attribute it to the vaccine, but she says, you know, I was at least curious.
Keep in mind, this lady's a diehard lib admittedly.
So she starts asking questions and she says, listen, I think we should port this to the VAERS, the Vaccine Adverse Events Database, just in case, you know.
She said that she was attacked by pretty much everyone in her field.
You can't do that.
If you do it, the vaccine people are going to start asking questions.
This is who they are.
Perfect example.
Everybody's a racist, right?
Mara Gay said so because they know what?
That at least 10, 20 years ago, calling someone a racist used to shut every single conversation down.
Now we're so used to it because it's such BS.
We just laugh at Mara Gay now.
She's not the only one.
So, the Bills player, DeMar Hamlin, who collapsed on the field, and let me be absolutely clear, because I actually believe in science.
We don't know why yet, because nobody's told us.
The doctors may know why.
Could have been a congenital thing, pre-existing heart condition.
Could have been something totally unrelated we haven't seen.
Could have been the vaccine.
I don't know, but I'd like to know.
Because, Joe, that's called science.
Yeah.
You asked that question, you are definitely a racist.
Here, scientific American.
No way.
No, that's the real.
This is the magazine, online magazine.
Scientific American.
Tamar Hamlin's collapse highlights the violence black men experience in football.
Here we go.
Oh my gosh.
Here it is.
This was sent to me by the production.
Who sent this?
Was this you, Guy, or was this Jim?
This was Guy's.
This was a Guy special.
By the way, this isn't the only one I started doing some homework on.
Did you notice it?
There's like five or six of the articles out there now.
You ask questions about the Moore-Hamlin, definitely a racist.
Don't even go there.
It's starting already, folks.
Now, I'm going to get to his videos.
I want you to watch Fauci.
He did an appearance this past week with Major Garrett, and I want you to see how they set it up right now.
That you're a conspiracy theorist, that you're crazy if you start asking questions about any of these athletes dying early, and they're already established in the field work here, that they're going to come after you if you dare to do actual science, which involves the question-asking-and-answering process.
That's what science is.
Let me get to my last sponsor first.
I got a great night's sleep last night.
You can probably tell by the Monday energy.
I was really eager.
I went to sleep at eight o'clock last night.
That's like an infant.
When you receive your Helix mattress, you'll be obsessed with it.
It's quick and fun to unbox.
You're going to love it.
You won't believe how well you'll sleep.
I can vouch for that.
Wake up feeling rested and refreshed with the Helix mattress.
Helix Sleep, they have this quick quiz.
It matches your body type and sleep preferences.
It's the perfect mattress for you.
Everybody's unique.
Helix knows that.
They have several different mattress models to choose from, and the mattresses come right to your door, shipped for free.
You don't have to go to a mattress store again.
Just go to this website, Helix.
That's H-E-L-I-X.
Helixsleep.com slash Dan.
That's Helixsleep.com slash Dan.
They have a 10-year warranty.
You'll sleep like a baby.
You get to try it out for 100 nights, risk-free.
They'll even pick it up for you if you don't love it.
You would.
Helix even has financing options and flexible payment plans, so a great night's sleep is never far away.
Sleep, so critical.
For a limited time, Helix is offering up to $350 off all mattress orders and two free pillows for listeners to this program.
It's our best offer yet.
So hurry on over to helixsleep.com slash Dan.
All right.
As I said, I want to play this video for you.
This is Major Garrett, I believe from CBS and Fauci.
Again, keep in mind, they're talking about the DeMar Hamlin tragic case.
Guy collapsed on the field.
He's up and talking now, thank the Lord.
We don't know if it had anything to do with the vaccine.
Nobody knows.
The doctors may know, but we don't.
I want you to keep in mind, Major Garrett doesn't know that, and either does Fauci.
But listen to how confident they are that this is all a conspiracy theory.
Check this out.
As I want to do in moments like that, I kept an eye on Twitter.
And I can't tell you exactly how many minutes transpired, but it was less than 20 before people on Twitter began to say, well, clearly the vaccine caused his seizure.
And that had a multiplier effect on Twitter as these things tend to do.
What's your reaction to that?
Well, my reaction is one of concern.
Isn't it horror?
Borderline?
More than concern?
Yeah, it's horror that misinformation and disinformation, when you have a platform like social media, that exponentially spreads.
In its best form, proper and important and value-added information can spread, which is good.
Yes.
The thing as a public health person and as a physician and a scientist and my identity as a physician is the thing that gets pained The most by that.
Because what that means, Major, is that yet again another conspiracy theory, complete nonsense, is going to have some people make a decision for themselves and their family not to get vaccinated.
So Joe and Jim both cut these things up.
Jim for the radio show, Joe for the podcast.
I forget, was it you or him?
One of them said to me, Like, you know, I usually cut the pauses out of these things just for, you know, cause it doesn't affect the content and it just flows.
It's like I left them in because, was that you who told me that?
Like Major Garrett is just so weird asking the question.
He's just like, and keep in mind at the end, he's setting it up like he's deliberating on something he doesn't know.
He has no, folks, do you understand Major Garrett and Fauci have no idea why DeMar Hamlin dropped on the field?
None.
They have none.
Or if they do, they didn't say it.
But Fauci's convinced that it's nonsense and a conspiracy theory if you even mention a vaccine.
How's that science?
Folks, if he knows that, please, because I get nervous about this stuff too, about the vaccine.
It's affected a lot of people in my life.
If this has nothing to do with the vaccine, folks, that's great!
That's not bad news!
If Am I crazy, guys?
No, who the hell wants to hear that?
Oh yeah, he died because of that.
No one wants to hear that.
Nobody wants to hear that, no.
If you know that, will you tell us?
But he doesn't know that.
But he's convinced if you even ask the question, you're a crazy person.
This is unbelievable.
Here's again how I know the gaslighting's begun, and as I've said to you before, the minute you tell me not to talk about something, I talk about it twice, because now I know you're hiding something.
Whenever you see Taylor Lorenz or Brandi Zadrozny, two misinformation specialists pretending to be journalists, whenever you see them freaking out on the news about you talking about a story like athletes and the vaccine, You should ask the question ten times instead of twice because it means they're hiding something.
They have been on the wrong side of almost every significant scandal of our time.
Here's Zdrozny again.
Ugh, you're asking questions.
You guys are crazy conspiracy theorists.
Here, I'm going to show you why.
Check this out.
How did this lie even get its start?
Because you're seeing it, especially in the athletic world, right?
You've got Utah Jazz Hall of Famer John Stockton, who says falsely that these healthy athletes are just collapsing because of the shot.
How did this even get legs in the first place?
So this started, as far as I can tell, around fall 2021.
What happened was people started making these collections of videos where they would mash up different players falling on the field.
And that's like really visceral, as we all saw Monday night.
When someone collapses, it really gets you.
And that's really that feeling of, is where misinformation thrives.
It's fear of the unknown and something that looks really scary, right?
And so we saw that happening a lot in 2021.
And then we saw it just increase throughout the year.
Folks, again, when you see these people, these self-appointed media gatekeepers, the Taylor Lorenzes of the world, the Brandi Zadrozny's telling you shut the door, lock the door, throw the key away to any questions on what may be happening to all of these young men.
And it happens more to men than women, but also others as well, not just men, men, children who are coming down with this myocarditis.
Then you know you need to ask more questions.
And the crazy thing is, fellas, they don't seem to get it.
That it's their efforts to crush the beach ball and keep it underwater that's leading to the beach ball exploding out of the water.
If they would just stop stigmatizing everyone and attacking everyone who asks questions, we wouldn't see it as suspicious and maybe we'd listen to what they have to say.
The fact that they don't get this is just hilarious.
Here's how they ensure, by the way, that only approved government left-wing socialist communist narratives see the light of day.
Did you catch this this weekend?
This isn't the Twitter files.
This is that lawsuit the Missouri Attorney General filed against government censorship with Facebook.
Did you see the gems coming out of this?
With the Twitter files, the lawsuit's been kind of subordinated for a week or so.
You should be watching this thing.
The Missouri Attorney General filed this lawsuit, and in the discovery phase, they got all the emails from government, between the government and these social media companies, and some of the gems coming out are unbelievable, even by our own standards.
Now, the suggestion anymore, here's the left's talking point on the Biden administration, and candidly, other people in government, even some in the Trump administration, I don't think Trump knew about it, but people in the Trump administration were swampies.
We're still doing this.
It's not just here.
The suggestion by the left with the Twitter files expose, guys, I want you to understand what their response is going to be.
It's, oh, when we told them Twitter and Facebook, you know, it'd be a good idea if you did this.
It was all voluntary.
Folks, garbage.
The government cannot wink and nod and say, be a real shame if your place burned down if you don't censor this person.
But even if you were to accept that ridiculous narrative that it was voluntary, it wasn't.
That's already been documented in court case after court case.
The government can't even imply this kind of stuff.
It's assumed pressure.
You understand?
Throw that argument out too.
Here's Rob Flaherty, Biden's White House Digital Director.
That's his job, to monitor social media.
Here, emailing people at Facebook.
Hey, since we've been on the phone, the top post about vaccination today is Tucker Carlson saying they don't work, and yesterday it was Tomi Lahren saying she won't take one.
This is exactly why I want to know what reduction actually looks like.
Here is, now you're in, look, Rob Flaherty, Director of Digital Strategy, the White House, from his official government email address.
Now your argument, even that it was implied, is out the window.
You look like a fool.
Here's the White House digital director directly calling for someone, Tomi Lahren and Tucker Carlson, to be censored by reduction of distribution of their content.
Your entire argument falls apart.
The Wall Street Journal covered this.
The White House censorship machine.
Here, it gets even worse.
Apparently, Flaherty emailed the Facebook executive saying, quote, you're hiding the ball, linking to a Washington Post article about Facebook spreading about vaccine hesitancy, as the paper put it.
Flaherty said, I think there's a misunderstanding.
The executive wrote back, I don't think this is a misunderstanding.
Flaherty replied, we are gravely concerned your service is one of the top drivers of vaccine hesitancy, period.
We want to know what you're trying.
We want to know how we can help.
And we want to know that you're not playing a shell game.
That'd be a lot easier if you'd just be straight with us.
Folks, this is straight up intimidation.
So true.
There you go, Guy.
Guy wins the award for the day.
It's been Joe 99.
Guy gets the treasure.
I'm sorry.
Usually he'll come over to Motley and take it.
Guy's like, damn, this is just straight up mafia talk.
Man, be a real shame if he doesn't work out for you guys.
Be a real shame if Facebook burned down all of Silicon Valley with you suckers in it, too.
I don't know.
Donnie knows.
This is Donnie Brescombe when he was pretending to be a mob guy.
This is how he learned to talk.
Forget about it.
Forget about it.
You should have just said forget about it at the end.
This is bananas that this actually happened and that liberal kooks are still like, it's just hilarious.
You're such buffoons.
Now, why do they keep doing this?
Let me, spectacular, spectacular.
It's long, but it's worth your time.
It explains how liberals move from the Russia hoax To pressuring the private sector.
This is worth your time.
The piece is in the newsletter today.
It's called How the FBI Hacked Twitter by Lee Smith.
It's a great piece.
It's long.
I'm not going to go through all of it, but kind of the crescendo of the whole thing where he sums it up is in this one paragraph about how the Russiagate hoax, in other words, Donald Trump hacked the election with Vladimir Putin or stole the election, right?
Which was obviously a stupid hoax.
How the media's willingness, the Mara Gays and the Brandy's Androgynes in the world to go along with an obviously BS narrative that there was a pee-pee tape out there, how that set the platform for this entire censorship space.
Here, let me just read this.
This is important, listen to this.
Smith says, the public-private sector merger, talking about Facebook, Twitter, and the government, worked only because as a unifying myth for the US elite, if not as a legal or political maneuver, Russiagate was a great success.
In other words, the Russia hoax was a huge success.
We think, oh, we exposed them.
They don't care.
He says, if there were any fears of how news of the FBI spying operation on the Trump campaign might be received by the press, civil rights activists, and the left, the reception to Russiagate dispelled those concerns.
The media offered itself up as a platform for information operations and published illegal leaks of classified information while the rest of the ruling class promoted a conspiracy theory and celebrated the assault on the constitutional rights of their fellow Americans as a success story.
I told you over and over that we had to expose it because you have to get to the truth.
And hopefully, eventually, there will be at some point accountability.
I don't think it's going to happen, but hopefully there will be.
But Lee Smith's point is a brilliant, sage one you should take to heart.
This was a massive success for them.
They told everyone there was a pee-pee tape, a ridiculous, absurd story only a moron would believe.
The media, instead of questioning it, celebrated it.
When the story was exposed, they hid it, and then they exposed classified leaks to make sure the story kept going so they could get a special counsel.
Now you're wondering why the government feels free, free of media oversight, to collude with private companies to censor conservative voices like Tommy Laird and Tucker Carlson?
Because no one's going to expose them.
And Russiagate proved that.
Now do you see why it's so important these conservatives up in the House held the line on this?
And started a new day rather than repeating the same old tricks?
I hope it all makes sense now.
All right, folks, thanks again for tuning in.
