It’s a Trap, Don’t Fall For It (Ep. 2035) - 06/20/2023

Time Text
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.
You know, I am in this state of just profound regret right now.
So, something popped yesterday.
A story in the Washington Post about how Merrick Garland and the DOJ didn't want to prosecute Trump because they didn't want to look political.
And I was dying to put the story in the show because in my head I'm thinking, okay, this is in the Washington Post.
They're trying to make Garland look non-political.
They're setting us up for something.
There's going to be some big announcement about Joe or Hunter.
Of course, I can't say now I was going to say it yesterday, because now you're going to be like, oh, you're just saying that because of the Hunter Biden news today.
Fair enough.
Fair enough.
But I, on my life, I will never make this decision again to forego such an opportunity.
I swear to you, on my life, I'm thinking they are setting us up for something.
They are setting us up, and today it comes down.
It's a trap.
This is so obviously an Admiral Ackbar trap, again, with this Hunter Biden charges announced today, that only a sucker wouldn't fall for it.
By the way, welcome to Conservative Candy 1973. First time in the chat I saw there.
Good to have you.
I love to have new people in the chat.
You can always join us everyday at Rumble.com slash Bongino.
I got a stacked show today.
There's so much going on.
You got John Durham going to testify.
Fed's given a sweetheart plea deal to the president's crack-addicted son there who did it with sex tapes on his computer while Donald Trump gets the books thrown at him.
It's just insane how much is going on.
And I'm going to expose the queen today.
The Queen.
Remember God saved the Queen?
We'll see.

Thanks, American Financing.
Joseph, let's go!
Alright, it is showtime, my man!
Yeah, and I'm a little mad.
I am really ticked off.
Because right as we're about to go on the air, this thing pops, this tweet from NBC. Breaking news!
Hunter Biden is going to take a plea deal to a tax evasion charge.
No jail time.
And then the gun charge for lying on the FFL form.
You have to fill out the government form whenever you buy the firearm.
It's going to be pretrial diversion.
Pretrial diversion for the gun charge.
You can see Tom Wiener at NBC breaking this right before we came on the air today, live at 11 a.m.
Basically, I mean, to describe it as a sweetheart deal is embarrassing to sweethearts across the country.
They got us on Valentine's Day.
Folks, I was a federal agent for a long time.
Again, I tell you, I don't know a lot, but I know that.
Do you have any idea, just big picture for a second before I get into the details of this, because I got a lot to say.
On a very, very serious note, do you have any idea how many inner-city men and women And I'm not saying they did that this isn't the right thing to do.
But I want you to just process it.
How many inner-city men and women in federal task forces I was on were locked up on gun charges using the federal government and sent to jail for five to ten years?
Using the exact same crime?
And Hunter Biden gets a pretrial diversion?
Meaning, bang to the justice system!
Double-barreled middle finger!
The justice system is dead.
Hunter Biden's a young, connected, white kid who's the son of the president.
So a gun charge for him, despite the same charge, Which, by the way, should be levied against criminals who use guns to commit crimes.
I'm not saying they shouldn't.
I'm just telling you it's awfully odd that the civil rights activists left that really hate civil rights and scream about white supremacy and white power and the white patriarchy running everything have an actual white patriarch in the White House, patriarch whose kid...
Committed the same crime as these inner-city black, Hispanic, and other kids, yet they're in jail for five years, and this kiss-ass little punk gets a sweetheart deal.
Where's Al Sharpton?
Where's the civil rights crew?
Where's Ibram Kendi?
Do you have anything to say about that?
Kimberly Crenshaw.
Where are they all?
Where are they?
Trump called it, though.
Oh, did he call it?
Did he ever call it?
Ladies and gentlemen, I am resolutely committed on this show to exposing the deep state, and today I'd like to introduce you to the deep state queen.
Hillary Clinton?
No, no, no.
Donald Trump exposed it yesterday because he clearly knew something was up.
Donald Trump on True Social.
Here's Biden sitting with Lisa Monaco, second in charge of the Justice Department, probably working on future plots and schemes against Republicans.
Boom!
June 19, 2023. What happens today?
The number two at the DOJ, who I'm sure she knew about it, supervised a deal with Merrick Garland to give Hunter Biden a sweetheart deal on a gun charge and a tax evasion charge where he gets no jail time, gets the plea, and the Biden administration goes, Oh, look, it's all over.
Forget about the international influence peddling and all the tapes I played for you last week of Joe Biden engaged in international blackmail schemes and getting people fired looking into it.
Huh, how about that?
How about that is right.
You think Trump tweeted that out yesterday by accident?
This is episode number 2426 of Donald Trump was right again.
Now folks, again, talking about it now is kind of dumb.
I should have just mentioned it yesterday.
Regardless, On my reputation, I swear to you, I saw this come out yesterday in the Washington Post, and I'm thinking to myself, something is definitely up.
The Washington Post put out this piece with the hapless Carol Lenning and Aaron Davis, who cannot get a story right ever, ever.
I have experience with this one.
What a mess.
I'll never forget that Secret Service story about the agent driving into the barricade.
She had to change 20 times because she couldn't get the story right.
Here's Carol Lenning at the Washington Post.
This is yesterday, folks!
They are setting you up in an Admiral Ackbar trap like you've never seen.
FBI resisted opening probe into Trump's role in January 6th for more than a year.
Look at the names in the piece, folks.
Look at the names.
You think it's an accident Trump tweets out a picture with Lisa Monaco, the deuce at Department of Justice, the number two?
The Washington Post is setting you up.
Someone at Justice clearly knew this sweetheart deal with Hunter Biden was going to come out today.
So to make the Justice Department to put some lipstick on this pig, they launched an article with the friendlies at the Washington Post the day before going, Department of Justice is not partisan.
Matter of fact, they didn't even want to prosecute Donald Trump.
Joe, what a coincidence.
What a coincidence.
Justice is done.
Here, read the word.
Read the wording.
Read the wording.
A wariness about appearing partisan, institutional caution, and clashes over how much evidence was sufficient to investigate the actions of Trump and those around him all contributed to the slow pace.
Garland and the Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco charted a cautious course aimed at restoring public trust in the department, while some prosecutors below them chafed, feeling top officials were shying away, looking feeling top officials were shying away, looking at evidence of crimes by Donald Trump and those close to him.
Top 10 regrets of my podcasting radio show career yesterday.
I would have...
Because anyone could talk about it today.
But totally.
I so wanted to put this out there and go, just wait.
Something is going to go down tomorrow.
And I didn't do it.
And that's on me.
And I failed you.
I failed you.
Those in the chat, I totally failed you.
I let you down.
I freaking knew it.
I knew something was up.
There is simply no way that the Washington Post is writing an article about how their best friends, Merrick Garland and Lisa Monaco, two absolute political hacks, the queen of the deep state, which I'm going to get to in a second.
There is simply no way they are writing a hit piece on them because they went easy on Trump.
No freaking way.
They knew this was going to happen.
Hunter Biden getting off today in a scam to end all scams.
Again, where are the civil rights activists?
You hear a peep from them?
Freaking crickets, bro.
Crickets.
You know how many young black and Hispanic kids are spending time in the clink for the exact same charge?
Not Hunter Biden.
Young, connected white guy.
We're all the critical race theorists now.
Why aren't they asking questions of Karen in Chief, Lisa Monaco, and her white boss and the white president?
Why?
Because race questions only matter when they're intertwined with political power for them.
When they involve actual racial discrimination, they don't seem to give a shit.
I'm serious.
I was joking around, but...
I genuinely regret not bringing this up to you yesterday.
Not because of who's right and who cares.
That's stupid.
There's nothing to do with it.
She would have been better prepared for today's news.
And I let you down, man.
I'm really pissed at myself.
I want to play this video for you from Fox News.
This was David Spunt a long time ago, by the way.
Now do you get what's going on?
The Washington Post was totally working the refs here.
100% working the refs.
They knew exactly what was going to go down.
Here's Fox, months ago, talking about how the decisions about Hunter Biden and all this, all of this was being marshaled together by who?
Yeah.
Lisa Monaco.
God save the queen.
Check this out.
Ultimately, Martha, Attorney General Merrick Garland, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, these are characters that are being briefed on the Hunter Biden investigation.
We reported on Fox News just about a month and a half ago that the grand jury looking into potential charges for Hunter Biden ended its term over the summer.
Thanks a lot.
Someone in the chat said, you didn't let us down, you know, the Bongino rule.
But no, this is different.
The Bongino rule doesn't apply here.
Because this was just my opinion that something was going to happen.
It was opinion based on informed speculation about how the Washington Post works.
I should have put that out there, man.
Monaco, Lisa Monaco, is the deep state queen.
She is knee-deep, ladies and gentlemen, in multiple scandals.
It's now clear they were working the refs, the American public, putting this piece out to the Washington Post to prep you for Monaco and Garland to give you the giant, double-barreled, moving middle finger, which I don't think I've done yet.
That's a first time.
So who is Lisa Monaco?
I'd argue to you she's even more dangerous than Merrick Garland.
Lisa Monaco has been knee-deep in multiple scandals.
Shall we go through the list?
She's the deuce at the DOJ. Don't forget.
Knee-deep in the Enron scandal.
Knee-deep as Mueller's chief of staff.
She was Bob Mueller's chief of staff?
Yes, sir!
Knee-deep in probably advising the Mueller probe.
She was knee-deep in spy game when they were spying on Donald Trump.
Who was the counter-terrorism advisor to Obama?
Oh my gosh!
Lisa Monaco!
So weird!
The Trump prosecutions.
She's the DOJ number two as they keep throwing the book at Donald Trump with fake charges.
The Hunter Biden case, knee deep in that.
How do I know?
I just played it for you and showed you the Washington Post article about it.
Girls are the devil!
She's also knee deep in the January 6th case as well.
I'll show you something real interesting about that.
Hit my mic with the moving double barrel middle finger.
Now, there's an older article from 2014 I've used in the past.
It's by Sidney Powell, but it's worth your time.
It's from 2014. It's in the newsletter today.
It's about the queen of the deep state, Lisa Monaco.
It's in my newsletter today, bongino.com slash newsletter.
By the way, if you're liking this shirt today, more on that at the end of the show.
The website, the newsletter is going to be loaded today.
I don't think you push it there, but this article, please read it.
This is from 2014. All the president's muses.
Obama and prosecutorial misconduct.
Obama chose Lisa Monaco to be his counter-terrorism advisor.
Was that because of Lisa Monaco's experience with the terror of a prosecutor, Leslie Caldwell, also from the Enron Task Force, who now heads the criminal division of the Justice Department?
Caldwell spearheaded the destruction of Arthur Anderson.
Oh, look at this!
She's involved in another scandalous case, the Arthur Anderson and the Enron takedown.
Who did she work with, Lisa Monaco?
Try to follow me today.
Who did she work with on this scandalous Enron case where they screwed up so much stuff they got spanked by the court system?
Lisa Monaco, who did she work with?
What if I told you it was...
Yeah, no way, Andrew Weissman?
That's crazy.
You mean discredited number two for Bob Mueller in the Mueller investigation?
Mueller's deputy?
Yes, same guy.
MSNBC guy.
Yeah, look, right there.
Right there.
Sidney Powell notes, and there was also her close connection with the FBI, where she served as Bob Mueller's chief of staff.
Apparently, while Enron Task Force Director Andy Weissman...
Also served as special counsel to Bob Mueller.
This is so crazy.
They all know each other.
It's so weird.
Weissman later became general counsel for the FBI while Monaco was heading the department's national security division.
It's like you follow the money, man.
They all know each other.
It's so weird.
It's so crazy.
How does that happen?
You know she's knee deep in the January 6th prosecutions too, as the deuce over at DOJ, right?
Here's Tom Cotton up on Capitol Hill, picked up something really interesting about the January 6th case.
How they're using a unique interpretation of obstruction of official proceeding to prosecute the January 6th guys and gals, but not to prosecute Antifa or anyone else that storms a courthouse anywhere.
And who's he asking the questions to?
Yes, ma'am.
One, Lisa Monaco.
Take a look.
I want to turn my attention to something for which you do have responsibility, though.
There's a statute, a criminal statute, Section 1512, entitled Tampering with a Witness, Victim, or Informant.
Most of that statute focuses on the altering, destruction, or hiding of records to be used in official proceeding.
Ms. Monaco, are you aware of this statute?
Yes.
Do you know when it was adopted?
It was adopted, if memory serves, after the financial collapse of Enron and other corporate malfeasance.
In 2002, after the Enron scandal and a law called the Corporate Fraud and Accountability Act of 2002, it also includes a catch-all phrase prohibiting not just the destruction, hiding of evidence, but also any acts that, quote, otherwise obstruct, influence, or impede an official proceeding.
The department is currently using that catch-all provision to prosecute hundreds of Americans for their actions on January 6, 2021 on the grounds of the United States Capitol.
I want to be clear, I'm not talking here about persons who committed violent acts against law enforcement officers.
Ms. Lisa Monaco has some really strange readings of the law.
Crazy how her and Andrew Weissman completely screwed up the Enron scandal, got there smacked around by the court system for abuses of power, and yet they keep failing up the ranks.
It's so strange.
Then she's got this rather unique reading of the January 6th case and a rather unique reading of apparently the Presidential Records Act.
It's almost as if the Queen, Lisa Monaco of the Deep State, is making this all up as she goes along.
And conveniently it breaks today that Lisa Monaco, the deuce at the DOJ, Apparently, must have signed off at some point on this decision to give Hunter Biden a sweetheart deal while a bunch of young black men and women and poor white men and Hispanic men who don't have legal protection are in jail on gun crimes.
And that's good.
We want people in jail if you use the gun in a crime.
Except it's weird how the anti-gun white patriarchy left seems to want to give Hunter Biden a pass on the exact same charge and Lisa Monaco's knee-deep right in that whole thing.
So strange.
And you know what's even weirder?
That her buddy Andy Weissman, who they worked together at the FBI, at the DOJ, on the Enron case, while Bob Mueller was the FBI director, who later went on to investigate Trump with Weissman, while Monaco was in the White House.
You know what's strange?
Weissman seemed to know in advance about Donald Trump getting indicted, just like it appears someone at the Washington Post had an idea Hunter was going to get indicted the next day too.
Really, really strange.
I'll show you what I mean.
Stay tuned.
Quick break.

All right, here we go again.
So, so strange that Monaco and Andy Weissman go way back and they both are like this with Bob Mueller, all committed to charging Trump with phantom crimes they made up.
And it's like Andrew Weissman already knew about it, even though Andrew Weissman is no longer in the DOJ. Is somebody feeding information to Andrew Weissman to go put out on MSNBC? Is it someone from Monaco's office?
Is it Monaco herself?
I don't know, but Andy Weissman seemed to know beforehand.
Here, take a look yourself.
Andy Weissman, you've just issued a tantalizing and newsworthy tweet in your own right with your credentials, with your relationships and your expertise.
I'm going to read it to our viewers.
Quote, a zillion stories about Trump case, but bottom line is that he's getting charged and it will be in D.C. and this week.
Open issues are whether others may be charged and whether they will be in DC or Florida.
Please explain.
Sure.
Well, first, it is really typical to see what we are seeing in terms of Donald Trump's counsel going to the Department of Justice.
We saw the same thing when we were looking at the Manhattan DA's office.
Crazy how this snake knew that.
Isn't that weird?
The only thing he got wrong were the charges were in Florida, and I don't even think he got that wrong.
I think this is one of those things, Joe, where you throw a little curveball to get people off the trail.
How did he know that?
How did he know that?
Don't you find that a little strange?
I thought this stuff was also supposed to be conducted in secret to, quote, protect the integrity of the investigation.
That's really funny.
You mean political witch hunt.
So weird how that's Lisa Monaco's buddy.
God save the queen, man, right?
She is the queen of the deep state.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the chariot driver driving the chariot of DOJ corruption right now.
I'm beginning to wonder if Merrick Garland answers to her.
As Joe Biden would say, not a joke, but in this case it's not.
Who the hell is running the Justice Department right now?
Because it certainly seems like the woman at the head of every major scandal of our time is trying to take out the people who know about the scandal, i.e.
Donald Trump and any of his lieutenants.
Here's where it gets really good.
Here's the great Devin Nunes in an appearance on Maria Bartiromo from a while ago.
Tying together the queen of the deep state, Lisa Monaco, to even more scandals you haven't heard of.
It's like she's the perfect number two.
She's not number one, so the media attention stays on Garland and not her, but she's the bag man.
She can go and take care of Trump and all his lieutenants who are looking into the scandals and make the scandals go away.
Here, listen to this.
I think this actually goes back pre-Russiagate hoax.
I think this goes back to the IRS scandal where they targeted conservatives.
I think it goes back to Fast and Furious during the Obama administration where they ran guns and tried to set people up.
You remember?
Innocent Americans ended up getting killed.
It goes back to Benghazi.
They got away with that.
And then you have to remember, it was late 2015 or 16 that we get to the plan where the Clinton campaign, working with dirty cops at DOJ and FBI and the media, I must say, where they set up to spy on the Trump campaign and ultimately Republicans and frame an innocent man that then led to what?
So that was the Russia hoax that then led to the Mueller witch hunt.
So all of this stuff is intertwined and then you just fast forward.
Cash mentioned the Whitmer case and Jan 6 and whether or not federal agents were involved in that.
So you just stair step and then ultimately this leads to what?
This leads to something never done in American history before.
You had a president's home ransacked by the same goons that were involved in all of this.
And I would say that A lot of people have criticized the FBI and the DOJ, and I think rightfully so, but someone are making these calls.
And I would say that the people that have been involved in all those scandals that I just listed are the very same people that are now in charge of the DOJ and are at the White House.
So you're talking about Susan Rice, you're talking about Jake Sullivan, and you're talking about Lisa Monaco, who is the Deputy Attorney General?
Look, yeah, if you don't believe that those people were involved, you're living under a rock somewhere.
Listen, let me give you a little behind the scenes of the Dan Bongino show.
I've seen that clip before, but I had a little problem with the audio.
So I usually give these guys exact time marks about exactly what I want.
I had to leave it up to them this morning because I couldn't find it and these guys are the pros.
I just was like, hey, you guys cut it where you saw.
I didn't know where they were going to leave it up.
Perfect!
That is exactly where I would have cut it.
Thank you.
I mean, like, to the second.
Good job.
It surprised me.
That's it?
Do you think Devin Nunes doesn't know?
The Nunes memo called this years ago.
The same people running the Justice Department are the same people who targeted Trump and his lieutenants who are now trying to make Trump and all his lieutenants go away before they can get back in charge and overturn the rock and look into all the scandals they're involved in.
God save the Queen, man, right?
Didn't Joe Biden just say that the other day?
Remember this one?
Alright.
God save the queen, man.
Now you know who he was talking about.
Thank you.
God save the Queen.
One Lisa Monaco.
Knee deep.
In every major scandal of the last six or seven years, running effectively the Justice Department, running roughshod probably over Merrick Garland, who's weak himself.
And basically doing a cleanup operation and a bag man operation to get rid of everyone who wants to expose the scandals.
She was knee deep in with her buddy Andrew Weissman and Bob Mueller, Jim Comey, Brennan, Clapper, and the whole Deep State crew.
With an assist from Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell up on the hill.
Now why are they worried?
Well, they're worried because they don't want Trump to get back in office.
Now, understanding better, because the first term we had major successes, but we had some failures, some personnel, and we didn't declassify stuff soon enough, and we didn't pressure enough people to declassify stuff.
I get that.
I don't have a Pollyanna-ish view of the first Trump administration.
I think it was great, unlike another one, but there were issues too.
They are terrified.
Trump, without the pressure of re-election, which I think is a good thing, not a bad thing, without the pressure of re-election, and that Trump, now that he knows where the bodies are buried, they are terrified of another term because they don't want the international blackmail scheme Biden Inc.
was running with the tapes I played for you last week that went viral.
They can't have that get out.
They do not want you to see what I'm about to show you.
Documented on email.
So they are going to do anything to make this go away.
Durham's testifying up on the Hill today.
And they are desperate to make this go away.
Let me take a quick break and I'll show you what they're hiding.
And you're going to see why they're in panic mode right now.
It's not because they're afraid of the Justice Department.
They run it, Monaco.
They're afraid of the politics of losing and then not running the Justice Department.
That's different.
Folks, leftist propaganda, endless pronouns, critical race theory, sexually explicit books accessible to minors and more?
No.
Our public education system is a disaster.
It's so bad, colleges have been dumbing down their courses for years to accommodate the average incoming freshman who can barely read and write at a 7th grade level.
It's embarrassing.
That's why I want to talk to you about my friends, and I mean my friends, at Freedom Project Academy.
They have perfected online learning.

Why are they worried, folks?
Monaco and everyone.
They're worried because of this.
Again, I'll be in a newsletter today.

Sign up.
It's free.
Burisma executives set up a bank account for Hunter Biden that was shut down for money laundering violations.
I don't know, fellas.
That sounds serious.
Don't you think?
Oh, not only do they have the bank records, Joe.
This is really bananas.
They actually have the email asking Hunter Biden for his identifiers so they can set up the bank account to transfer him what appears to be illicit illegal money.
Really strange.
Yeah, you would never believe it.
Here's the email.
It's from Vadim Pazarski from Burisma.
And you can see in the actual email that they're looking for personal identifiers to go and set up the bank account for Hunter so they can transfer the money.
It's almost as if they haven't.
Wow.
They got the email.
That's so crazy.
You see why they want to make it go away now?
You guys having trouble with that email there?
Justin's like having a computer mix up there.
Alright, whatever.
You guys see it.
You can read the email yourself.
Now, here is going to be the Dipsy Dew.
The Dipsy Dew flipperoo.
They work.
Horowitz, Michael Horowitz, was the inspector general who had looked into all this stuff in the past.
And what they're going to tell you about FBI corruption and elsewhere is that, oh, we don't really care what John Durham's got to say about any of this stuff.
John Durham doesn't know what he's talking about.
Horowitz, the inspector general, already looked into this stuff.
Listen to me.
You're going to hear it.
Listen.
You're going to hear it.
And they're going to say, Horowitz said there was no political motivation to target Donald Trump.
By the way, keep this video evergreen because I don't want to have to look for it again.
Just keep it in an evergreen file.
Joe, you too, please.
I've played this now probably 10 times.
The Democrats are full of garbage.
They are lying.
They lie about everything.
Here is Michael Horowitz under oath on Capitol Hill when asked directly by Lindsey Graham, asked directly by Lindsey Graham, was there political motivation for the targeting of Donald Trump?
And he specifically says he can't eliminate that as a possibility.
Again, you want the truth, come here.
You want bullshit, go over there on the left.
Listen for yourself.
Did they have a duty to report to their supervisors and eventually to the court in sculptory information?
Absolutely.
They did not?
They did not.
Why?
That's the question I can't specifically answer for you.
Can you say it wasn't because of political bias?
On decisions regarding those FISA matters, I do not know their state of mind at this point.
So we're talking about actions now and trying to figure out what would motivate people.
He did not eliminate political bias as a motive.
You just heard it.
You just heard it yourself.
Folks, we are in a really, really dark time, man.
We can fix this.
I'm an optimist and I'm long on the United States.
But I'm telling you right now, my name is Dan Bongino.
We are in a really bad spot.
Lisa Monaco, Merrick Garland, Comey, and all their Confederates still running the FBI have given up any pretending that they're legit on the up and up.
They are full, deep-stayed, dark-mode U.S. government now.
They don't care that Hunter's given a sweet deal by Monaco and Garland.
It doesn't matter to them.
They're just trying to make this go away.
Durham's going to testify today that the FBI targeted Trump with no information whatsoever to start the investigation.
And I guarantee you, someone is going to say, well, didn't Michael Horowitz conclude otherwise that there was no political information?
B.S., I just played it for you.
They are all in, and it is all being run by the queen of the deep state, Lisa Monaco, who is knee-deep in all of this stuff.
Folks, they need a backup plan too.
All of this show is tied together today in a very specific way and pattern.
The Democrats need a backup plan.
They sense right now that although Hunter Biden is obviously in no legal trouble, he's going to take an easy-peasy plea, pre-trial diversion on a gun charge, total scam, total complete scam.
They are in no legal trouble whatsoever.
They are in political trouble.
Biden doesn't even know what he's talking about.
Can't get off the stage.
Keeps telling people God saved the Queen or whatever the hell he's talking about.
I think we know, but Biden doesn't even know.
They need a backup plan.
Oh, look at this.
Conveniently, Gavin Newsom appears out of the blue over on Fox.
I thought Hannity did a good job with him on the interview.
And it was really strange because Newsom lied his way through the whole interview.
Watched an examiner.
Gavin Newsom claimed there's no exodus out of California.
Wow, that's fascinating.
Because the examiner looked at it and in 2022, California had the worst domestic net migration numbers of any state.
Losing almost 350,000 people.
That sounds like what they call a statistic.
That's really strange.
Even looking at it as a portion of the total population, California's in the bottom 10. Losing 0.3% of its residents in one year.
You see how he appeared magically, like out of nowhere, Gavin Newsom?
Just like the Washington Post article just appeared yesterday magically saying, oh, Merrick Garland, they didn't want to prosecute Trump because they're not political.
They were setting you up, just like they're setting you up now.
They understand that Biden's in trouble politically.
And all of a sudden, Gavin Newsom appears.
I want to remind you about who Gavin Newsom is, in addition to being a liar and generally a tool.
Here's Gavin Newsom.
This is one of the greatest interviews.
Have you ever seen this?
It's about a minute 40, which is a little long for you, but it's worth every second.
Have you ever seen this?
Gavin Newsom, in what turned out to be a really bad idea from him on his part, decided to go on Adam Carolla's podcast a while ago.
Adam Carolla, who takes very little BS from anyone.
And Adam Carolla started asking Gavin Newsom actual questions.
Gavin Newsom went on the show and he's like, he tried to throw the race card.
And black and Hispanics are suffering more than all.
And Gavin Newsom didn't want to acknowledge that.
It's really strange how blacks and Hispanics are suffering the most in liberal cities and liberal states.
So Carolla had a few questions about that.
And nuisance didn't know what to do.
This is glorious.
Listen to every second of this.
Check this out.
Half of African Americans in the state of California, roughly half of Latino families, have no access to a checking account or an ATM. Things we take for granted.
They don't have a checking account.
What's wrong with them?
Well, because they don't have the resources to sock those things away.
Why do we have them?
A lot of different reasons, but roughly half those families don't.
Why do Armenians have them?
But where they end up is in the check cashing places.
But I want to know why those two groups don't have access.
It just happens to be that.
So they're flawed?
No, they're hardly flawed, but they're struggling.
Genetically flawed.
Hardly.
Absolutely not.
Do Asians have this problem?
I mean, a lot of communities, a lot of whites have these problems.
Oh, so that's not just black and Hispanic.
No, but I'm giving you...
But why did you bring up black and Hispanic?
Because the magnitude is ominous.
But why so many of them?
It just happens to be the magnitude.
That's the way God planned it?
Not at all.
Well, what happened to them?
There are a lot of issues that the communities are struggling.
Why are they struggling?
A lot of different reasons.
Lack of opportunity.
Hispanics have been here.
Blacks have been here longer than we've been here.
Well, we can surmise all that.
What about Asians?
They were put in internment camps.
Yeah, we, in fact, it all initiated at San Francisco and the Chinese Exclusion Act came out as progressive San Francisco.
A lot of Asians certainly do.
So why don't you conclude them?
Because the only reason why is the magnitude There's so many more.
The magnitude in percentage terms.
But there's no way to figure out how that happened.
We could talk about it.
You know what I'm dealing with?
I don't want to have a sociological debate.
Sure, why would you?
No, here's why.
Why would you want to do that?
Because the person from the Times wouldn't write good things about you if you did that.
No, no, that's not the case, because I want to deal with reality.
You don't want to get into that.
No, no.
You want to deal with reality?
I want to deal with reality of people that are...
Come on.
That's gotta be.
Joe, you and I have done a lot of shows.
This episode, what?
2035. Probably actually close to 2050 because there's 15 or so episodes we can't even find anymore because Joe and I screwed everything up with it.
We don't even know what those are.
That has gotta be one of the top five clips ever.
Oh, so you know, I don't want to have a sociological debate.
Oh, now you know it.
Of course, when I start asking you real questions.
He goes, I love Adam Carolla's question.
Why did God make him that way?
Oh, no, no, God, no.
Okay, yeah, we don't think that any so.
Why those groups?
I don't understand.
Armenians.
Armenians.
Why aren't Armenians that way?
What are the...
Adam Carolla?
Hats off, brother.
I know that was years ago.
I get it.
But my gosh, is that worth your time?
That's Gavin Newsom.
And just get ready.
Folks, this show is being conducted a very specific way today.
Nothing the left does is by accident.
That Washington Post article about Monaco and Garland was not an accident.
Gavin Newsom agreeing to appear on Fox is not an accident.
Trust me.
Your man won't let you down.
I should have put that, watched and posted that article yesterday.
All right, let me get to my last sponsor.
The left has really lost their marbles with this.
Big news about the store, finally.
And then something big happened with RFK, Rumble, and free speech.
You know I'm an equity holder there, but really cool story nonetheless.
Showing you there's only one free speech company out there that really cares.
Really cares in the video space.
That's Rumble, I promise you.
How many cups do you think I had today?
Justin, how many?
Justin says the over-under on my blackout coffee cups is two and a half.
I'm going to say he's correct!
It was 2.75 because I put a little milk in the extra one.
Are you tired of the same old liberal garbage junk coffee that tastes like crap?
You want coffee designed for patriots?
With cojones and spines, that's blackout coffee.
Just smell it.
Take a bag, pick up a bag, a little practice.
Smell it.
This is coffee for people with cojones and spines that like coffee to taste like coffee, not brown water.
I personally recommend Blackout Coffee because I love it.
It drives liberals crazy.
Some guy, Tom, Tim Miller something lost his mind because I love Blackout Coffee.
If you go look at his avatar, you'll want to buy Blackout Coffee too because you won't look like him.
This is a coffee company that is 100% committed to conservative.
Go look at his picture and see what I mean.
If you want to look like Tim Miller, don't drink this.
Do not drink blackout coffee.
From sourcing the beans to the roasting process, customer support or shipping, blackout coffee is an incredible work ethic.
They're dedicated to promoting conservative principles and they accept no compromise on taste or quality.
This stuff is amazing.
Seriously, it tastes incredible too.
It's one thing to love the country and that comes first all the time.
But you gotta make a good product.
That's how you love the country.
By capitalism and hard work.
And I can tell you the owner of this company cares only about two things.
The country and good coffee.

Good stuff.
Check it out.
Justin nailed it.
2.75.
It's close enough.
So just quickly here, showing you how people like Gavin Nusance will get you killed.
These people will get you killed.
Kathy Hochul, J.B. Pritzker, all these big state governors and mayors, they will get you killed.
The Eric Adamses of the world.
Fox News, progressives want to stop landlords from using criminal background checks to screen renters.
Oh, that's nice.
So as you know, if you live in New York City or LA, there are basement apartments or second floor apartments.
A lot of these people, Joe, who aren't rich, have people living in their own homes in a modified apartment.
Why do they do that, Joe?
Because they're not rich and they need some help with the mortgage.
So wouldn't it be nice if you're, you know, you're probably sharing the same front door, maybe a separate entrance inside, maybe there's some kind of little lobby or something like that.
It'd probably be really good, right?
Wouldn't it?
To know that the guy upstairs isn't a, like a convicted rapist, maybe a good idea?
In your house?
Yeah.
No, no, no.
You're wrong, Joe.
No, progressives said no.
They said Armacost is crazy.
You don't need to know that.
I mean, it's only your house.
The guy's a serial child murderer or something?
Nah, you know, just put him in your house.
Criminal background check.
Convicted drug dealer?
Nah, you don't need to know that.
That's Newsome.
That's who these guys are.
This is exactly what you're going to get more of if you don't vote in 2024. You're going to get more of this, too.
RFK Jr., who's a Democrat.
I don't support Democrats.
I support Republicans.
But I do support something that matters to me more than anything.
Including parties.
And that's free speech.
I've dedicated my life to it.
I put my own skin in the game.
I bet my political future, my activist future, and my financial future on the fact that America will love free speech in the end.
We'll win.
Folks, this matters to me.
So RFK Jr. has some ideas that would be considered controversial.
Joe, there's an answer for addressing what you deem controversial ideas.
And I know this sounds crazy, but it's to put out a counter to the controversial idea.
I know that sounds nuts to the communist, fascist a-hole.
What did you say?
See, Justin's in college now.
So Justin's like, that's not how it works in our school.
In our school, you just ban stuff.
You see, in the real United States we thought existed, you're actually allowed to speak when you don't like an idea.
Not RFK Jr., whose interview with Jordan Peterson and Mike Tyson were taken down from YouTube because YouTube is run by straight-up commies.
Straight-up commies.
So I'm proud to be involved with Rumble.
Because Rumble...
With the win again, baby.
With the free speech win.
Damn it.
You're darn right we're going to come in and clean this up.
Tweeted out by Rumble this morning.
Check it out, baby.
RFK Jr. on Rumble.
You can see him tonight if you'd like at 7 p.m.
Robert Kennedy's first live stream will take place at 7 p.m.
Eastern this evening.
Where?
Rumble.com, baby.
All right.
But I thought, Joe, I thought Rumble, and then the left-wing media goons, it's a right-wing platform, right?
Now, last time I checked, fellas, can we get a quick fact check?
RFK is running for the Democrat nomination for president, right?
Rumble didn't get that wrong?
You sure about that, Joe?
Guy, can you double-check that?
He's not running against Trump.
He's running against Biden.
I thought it was a right-wing platform, though.
Who is it?
Was it you, Justin, or Guy?
Someone sent me a text this morning.
No, it was Jim.
Someone, I don't know.
I forget.
We have so many people working on the show now.
They're like, man, these Republican fascists, free speech fascists, they're the worst, banning everyone.
We're the only ones letting people speak!
We're the only...
Crazy fascism on the right.
Right?
What a bunch of fascists.
Keep your money, pick where your kid goes to school, and speak freely.
Fascists!
You guys are fascists!
Are you guys just freaking stupid all the time on the left?
You understand?
You're the actual fascist, by definition.
That's not even in dispute.
Shut up.
Don't say anything.
Send your kids to a crap school because I said so.
And give us your money.
And we're going to regulate your businesses then.
You're the actual fascist, bro.
The actual fascist.
It's not even in dispute anymore.
Oh, look at this article in the newsletter today, too.
Democratic-tied dark-money kingmaker behind a nonpartisan group fighting misinformation.
You ever hear of the New Venture Fund?
A group of wealthy libs funding the Trust Project, which is working overtime to censor you?
But remember, we're the fascists, right?
At Rumble, letting a Democratic candidate for president speak.
We're the fascists.
All right, I got a couple quick updates and exciting news about the Chum Store.
It's back, but I got a quick update.
This is really for Joe.
He says the chat.
I need help in the chat.
I mean, hold on.
Y for yes, obviously, N for no.
Yes, I like the UFO stories, or no, I hate them.
Please, I'm going to go by you.
If it's because Joe loves these stories, I got an update for you first.
Remember this crazy story out of Las Vegas about this UFO? Here, check this out.
Several agencies believe something landed or crashed.
Whether it was nonhumans or not, it certainly scared the people living on this property.
Now before we show you that video, listen to their call for help.
There's like an eight foot person beside it and another one is beside it and it has big eyes and looking at us and it's still there.
Okay, where is this on your property?
In my backyard.
I swear to God, this is not a joke.
This is actually weird.
So there's two people or two subjects that are in your backyard?
Correct.
And they're very large.
They're like eight foot.
Nine feet, ten foot.
I don't know.
They look like aliens to us.
Big eyes.
They have big eyes.
Like I can't explain it.
And big mouth.
They're shiny eyes.
And they're not human.
100% they're not human.
Okay.
Well, the A-News now investigators are obtaining video as officers then responded to the call you just heard.
You'll see the officers also saw something in the sky that night.
But the big question is, what was it?
And is it all connected?
It's almost midnight on May 1st when a Las Vegas Metro Police officer's body cam catches this.
Something flashing low in the sky.
9-1-1 emergency.
Minutes later.
There's like an 8-foot person beside it and another one's inside and it has big eyes and they're looking at us.
Okay, folks, by the way, it's about 65% yes, 35% no, but Guy said right, Joe.
The no's are like all capital no's.
So I'm hesitant to go.
But there's an update on this UFO story.
So we've got police body camera.
Nobody disputes, by the way, the authenticity of it.
Showing an object landing from the sky.
We've got a dude calling 911 who sounds absolutely sincere.
You'd agree, right, Joe?
He calls the police in his house, by the way.
You hang up quick and don't tell him your address, and you call from your neighbor's phone if it's a joke.
And he swears there's an eight-foot alien staring at him from the yard.
Now this happens.
Las Vegas police install a camera on the home that reported the aliens?
Families afraid for their safety?
Folks, let me tell you something.
I was a cop and a fed.
I have never heard of this in my life.
Where the cops show up to install a camera at a home alleged to have seen aliens after the police body camera caught an object falling from the sky.
I've never...
I've got a friend who literally worked in Teru in the NYPD. His name is Brian.
He was a detective.
The Technical Assistance Research Unit.
All they do is cameras.
He's never heard of this either.
So my question to you is...
What are they looking for?
Did someone from Homeland Security tell them to put their camera up?
Folks, the answer is I don't know.
I believe a lot of the UFO stories are distractions that come out whenever the Biden thing gets hot.
I think I've shown evidence of that in the past.
But that doesn't mean every single one is.
And come on, you gotta be honest.
Even if you're a skeptic like me, this story's getting freaking weird.
Like, super weird.
Alright.
Special surprise for all of you in the chat.
63,000.
Damn!
It's good to have you here.
Join us every day.
Rumble.com slash Bongino in the chat.
The chat starts at 10 a.m.
Eastern.
Justin and Guy are in there starting trouble.
I come on at 11. Love to have you.
Welcome to all the new chatters today.
Gave you a shout-out in the beginning.
A conservative candy.
Thanks for coming.
Bring ten friends with you to the chat.
We have the Chum store open.
If you like the shirt.
Oh wait, you got to put up ladies too for the ladies in the chat.
Guys, you may like this picture of Paula more than the ladies.
Here's a picture of the lovely Paula in the ladies Dan Bongino show gear.
I have to say she looks quite good.
This is the Dan Bongino show shirt.
You got the back.
Justin, can you see the back here?
Tell me.
Now, you see the facts?
Dan Bongino's show looks like a little flag.
I think you're going to love him.
We got a bunch of stuff there.
Here's the website.
By the way, all of our proceeds go to charity.
Last year, we donated $100,000 to Folds of Honor, which was more than our proceeds.
But this is not a money-making operation for me.
All of our proceeds go to charity.
You'll see at the end of the year.
We'll do it on the air.
It's just because people asked us about shirts and chum and all kinds of Bongino show gear.
The website, store.bongino.com.
Store.bongino.com.
Women's gear, too.
I think you're going to love it.
Paula, thank you to my lovely wife, Paula.
Who worked really, really hard to get this just right.
Of course, it uses paralleleconomy.com because we liked everything.
Everything had to be done right in the parallel economy.
So store.bongino.com.
We're ready to rock and roll.
Pick up your shirts today.
All our proceeds go to charity.
No, no, no.
There's no tucking swimsuits.
No.
Yeah, it's a good question.
Yeah, we don't have those.
Yes, you have to go to Target for that.
Allegedly at the back of the store.
But good question in the chat.
Thank you all.
Thank you for saying that.
By the way, please subscribe to the show.
It's all free, by the way, on Apple and Spotify as well.
Well, I said, by the way, twice.
I really appreciate it.
It helps us stay on the top charts.
So subscriptions matter.
It's absolutely free.
Apple, Spotify, rumble.com slash Bongino.
See you back here tomorrow at 11 a.m.
Eastern time, 10 o'clock if you want to get in the chat early.
See you tomorrow.
