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.
Man, I'd like to tell you I had a crazy weekend this weekend, but I did not.
I did not.
This is one of the few weekends out of the year.
I didn't have a lot to do, so there's no big dramatic weekend update, except for this.
So, Friday night, you know, we were supposed to take this weekend off.
We've been, like, partying a little too much, me and Paula over the last few months.
So, we were going to take this weekend off and allow for full liver recovery.
By Saturday night, we were already tired of recovery mode, so we went into party mode again.
I gave a speech on Sunday in front of a political group in Palm Beach, which is pretty good.
I got to tell you, if you heard it, I think it was one of my best speeches.
It was just totally off the cuff, and I was just in a mood.
So that was the weekend.
Not a huge weekend update this week.
Big show for you today, however.
Ladies and gentlemen, they are going into the bullpen.
They are looking for a replacement.
And I think they may have found one.
The only thing is, what is this woman going to do?
If you read the title of the show, What's Michelle Obama Up To?
You know exactly what I'm alluding to.
I'll show you what I mean in a second.
Because the media never does anything by accident.
Ever.
There's something going on here with Biden.
They're getting ready to shovel him aside right now.

All right, Joe.
Joe.
Joe.
Yes, Dan.
Let's go.
What is going on here?
It's showtime, Dan.
It's showtime.
Don't ask us what's going on.
Worlds are colliding.
What's that thing?
Is that Jerry Seinfeld?
Worlds are colliding.
Joe is here.
Welcome him in the chat.
Say hello to Big Joe.
Joe rang the Kenny bell.
That has never happened before.
This is Dan Bongino show history right here.
You're witnessing in the making.
This is a big, huge moment.
This is up there with Cal Ripken breaking the streak.
This is up there with Willis Reed's triumphant exit from the locker room in the Knicks game.
Okay, I think we're being a little dramatic, but it is good to see producer Joe.
That's what we've been working on in the past few weeks.
You're very welcome, buddy.
Now Joe is back into his chambers over there to get this show on the road.
Man, it's good to see this guy.
Hey, look at him, Joe.
You got a lot of love in the chat right there.
Love you all.
They're happy to see you.
So, folks, is Michelle Obama getting ready to take them out?
I'd say bring in the righty, but in this case, it's bring in the lefty.
These media people, nothing they do is by accident ever.
Let's just get that straight.
Here's this article by The Telegraph this week.
I'm not sure this is an accident, folks.
Michelle Obama could be America's next president.
Forget Sleepy Joe.
The Democrats might look again to the former First Lady in 2024. There are a number of things going on here.
Here's number one.
This is the media's recruitment effort.
They're sending out smoke signals basically to the Obama family that, listen, if you were to run, we're going to dump Joe.
That's why this is titled this way in the Telegraph.
It's not titled this way by accent.
Notice the recruitment pitch in the opening line.
Michelle Obama could be America's next president.
But what is it followed up with in the subtitle?
Forget Sleepy Joe.
This is a signal from the media people, like a bat signal.
They don't need to coordinate it.
They don't need to.
They all think alike with a hive mind.
That if you were to get out of this race, Joe, and if we can push you out of this race, that we will back Michelle Obama.
It'll be a coordinated effort to get it done.
Nothing is an accident, folks.
This is not being done by accident.
Michelle Obama, is she going to report for duty?
I would have told you a year ago, absolutely not.
Given the fact, this is the other thing going, I said a couple things.
Number one, they know Sleepy Joe is in big trouble and they know there's a lot of information out there that's about to come forward bank records wise about the Biden crime family that they can't control.
The unknown scares them right now.
Do you get what I'm saying?
They can only control what they know about.
They don't know how bad the Biden case is.
But the second problem the media has is they have to protect the Obama legacy.
Obama is the Democrat Party right now.
If Obama goes down and his legacy goes down as the most corrupt president in American history by far, which is what he is, Spygate, the collusion hoax, Bidengate, all of it.
This is what my speech was about this weekend in front of the Republican Club.
I was on fire with this thing.
If that comes out, the Democrat Party will be destroyed because Obama is the Democrat Party.
Hence, they're freaking out because they know, ironically, only she's the one who could probably come in right now, save them, and bury these scandals for good.
Here's what I mean, too, about the media panicking.
This has defaced the nation this weekend.
They don't know what else is out there.
I told you this.
Listen, I don't want to waste your time on the show.
I will never, ever waste your time.
I promised you over and over, told you over and over again, there was going to be a seismic shift in media coverage.
It was going to happen like that.
One day Biden was going to be the next FDR. The next thing, he was going to be the next Democrat.
He was going to be the biggest failure since Jimmy Carter.
Here's what I mean.
It's happening right now.
Listen to Deface the Nation, all of a sudden starting to ask questions about Hunter Biden because they realize this guy's a damaged political animal.
Joe, check this out.
Within that plea memorandum that was released, it details a number of Hunter Biden's financial transactions.
He was in the throes of addiction.
He wasn't able to pay his taxes at that time, but he's also had income from a Chinese business conglomerate, an infrastructure investment company.
A Ukrainian energy company, Romanian business.
Is there any chance that any of this crossed a line?
Why are they asking questions now?
Oh, they're doing their journalistic endeavors.
They're not doing any of that.
They are deathly afraid that the bank records transactions are going to show millions of dollars lining the pockets of the Biden family.
And they're not sure what else is out there.
That's why.
This has nothing to do with the media doing journalism.
Nothing at all.
And everything to do about what looks like a Biden suicide mission in their next run for the White House.
Ladies and gentlemen, this guy right now is a damaged political animal and everybody knows it.
Here's MSNBC this weekend.
Again, asking questions of the Biden people they never asked before in their lives about Hunter Biden, special counsels, all of this stuff.
They're only asking this stuff now because they're dipping their toes in the water of scuttling this guy in favor of Michelle Obama or someone else to preserve the Obama legacy.
Because if Trump gets in there in this next term, when we know where all the bodies are buried now, they're deathly afraid that Obama's going to be exposed as actually what he was, the most corrupt president in modern U.S. history.
Take a look.
Friday, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed David Weiss as a special counsel in his Hunter Biden investigation.
Does the White House have any comment on that move by DOJ? No, not whatsoever.
You know, the president's been very clear since when he was running for office that he was going to make sure that there was no politicization of DOJ. The White House has not been involved in any of those matters, and that's been clear and consistent.
I think any questions on this issue obviously should be referred to DOJ or the Hunter's personal attorney says this is a personal matter, and we stand by that.
It's not a personal matter, bro!
It's not a personal matter!
Joe Biden was the point man on Ukraine while his son was getting paid $83,000 a month from a company who was being investigated by a prosecutor.
Joe Biden got fired.
You want to make it a personal matter?
Don't get involved with your family and intermingle it with business deals when you're the freaking Vice President of the United States.
What is this guy, a dumbass?
A personal matter.
Like it was some kid with a drug problem who isolated himself with the world and went to live in the mountains.
Hunter Biden injected himself and the dad did nothing about it except to leverage it to line his own pocket.
It's not a personal matter.
Personal matter my ass.
Here, the Washington Post has even developed a fundamental sense of curiosity.
What the hell is going on here?
At House GOP, they put out this tweet.
Here's how it started.
June of 2023. Why Hunter Biden's plea deal is justified.
Washington Post opinion section.
August 12th.
Just the other day.
Opinion section.
Washington Post.
Hunter Biden shouldn't get special treatment.
Folks, the scuttling of the Biden crime family is happening right in front of your very eyes.
I want you to listen to me and listen very closely.
Jesus moved a little bit.
I'm sorry.
I have Jesus on the thing.
Someone moved him.
I got Jesus in the right spot.
It looks over me.
I'm serious.
Sorry I got distracted.
I'm serious.
They're getting ready to scuttle this guy.
To sink this ship.
I had this long conversation this weekend with these people.
I gave this speech in Palm Beach and I was very proud of it.
Folks, I was trying to make the point that this was the most corrupt, the Obama-Biden presidency, the single most corrupt executive office of the president outfit we've seen in modern times.
The media is eager to cover this thing up and make this whole thing go away.
Because if they expose, remember, remember this, the most damaging political narratives.
Some of you in the chat can probably cheat on this.
The most damaging political narratives.
Are the political narratives that change your pre-existing notion of who a candidate is?
Barack Obama is a messianic figure to the left who is seen as pure and good and gold, right?
If Barack Obama turns out to be the exact opposite, a corrupt, weaponized, basically socialist, who used the power of government to enrich himself and his buddies like Joe Biden, it's over for the Democrats.
It's over.
Then this breaks this weekend, too.
New York Post, Barack Obama told his ex-girlfriend, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination, letter shows.
Okay, that's certainly an interesting letter.
Biden scandals, folks.
They're Obama's scandals.
They have been Obama's scandals the whole time.
There's a lot about Barack Obama you don't know.
There's a lot about Barack Obama people don't know.
Barack Obama is a mystery, an enigma to a lot of people.
And because he's a messianic democratic figure.
Don't be surprised.
Now, is Michelle Obama going to get in the race?
I'm not sure.
I think they're waiting to see what level of catastrophic damage these bank records are going to do to Biden.
But I got to tell you, the media didn't type that up in a story for nothing.
They're doing this on purpose.
So going back to my, it's not bad enough yet, which I talk about all the time.
I get this question a lot from people, especially friends of mine in New York and Maryland.
You know, Dan, how is it that they're still voting for the same nonsense here?
Crime, deprivation, poverty, you know, shitty economics, people fleeing these states.
Like, when are they going to have enough?
When is enough going to be enough?
The answer is when it gets bad enough for those specific individuals.
The problem with voting liberal is it takes a long time in a country as successful as the United States for even the worst liberal to completely decimate a place.
It does.
It takes years.
It doesn't typically happen overnight.
It gets worse overnight.
But it's not completely destroyed for years because usually conservatives or a couple of Republicans will save them and prolong it and manage the decline a little bit.
But something is changing.
I'm sensing something.
You are living through a rebellion right now.
That was kind of what I was going to get to before.
You're living through a rebellion right now, and I want you to be proud of this.
Chest out, chin up.
There is a massive cultural rebellion going on.
You can see it.
You can feel it.
You don't need to lick your finger and see which way the wind is blowing.
You absolutely know it.
You've seen it.
You've got The Sound of Freedom, number one at the box office.
You've got Oliver Anthony's hit song going viral, despite the fact he had no record deal or anything.
You see the target, the destruction of Target and Disney and Bud Light.
You are sensing a cultural shift right now.
The place to be right now is not, I repeat, against the constitutional republic and liberty and freedom because people are starting to figure this out.
Here's a clip of Joe Rogan.
Same exact feeling.
Are you feeling it like I'm feeling it?
This seismic shift on the ground that because things have gotten as bad as they've gotten, we may not be at full change yet, but the earth is definitely quaking right now.
Listen to Rogan say the same thing.
The culture shift between right and left authoritarianism, and now people don't recognize that if you just stop looking at it in terms of red and blue, look at the actions, whether it's war, suppression of free speech, pharmacological interventions that are mandatory, whatever the fuck it is, that used to all be associated with the authoritative right.
The authoritarian right.
And now those things are being embraced by the left.
And I just think it's just an ideology thing.
I think we get confused and we think, we're on the right side.
We're on the right side.
And if it's our side that's saying this, for sure that's the right thing to do.
And no one's critically thinking about this.
Folks, you are living through a rebellion.
An actual cultural rebellion.
I've got this eerie feeling.
I brought it up often.
Forgive me if I'm wearing this out.
If I am, let me know in the chat.
But I have this eerie feeling right now.
We're on the cusp of something really bad.
However, now, I want to be clear on this.
I don't wish that on anyone.
But I also want to be clear that sometimes it takes a seismic moment, a real earth-shaking shift, for people to wake up out of the doldrums and figure out that everything they've been voting for the entire time, damn it's been wrong.
And the great part about social media, true Twitter, all these things, is the democratization of information.
When shit really sucks in places now, you can't hide it anymore.
60 years ago, if you didn't know someone in California and L.A. talking about mass looting in stores, thievery everywhere, debauchery in the streets, drug use in Seattle, you didn't know?
If Cronkite didn't talk about it on the evening news, you didn't know?
You weren't reading the local Seattle papers?
Now, it happens.
It's on social media instantly.
And everybody's starting to see the curse of liberalism and the cancerous plague has become.
Here's just a few videos of how politics is local.
When things get bad enough locally, you're going to see a massive shift.
And crime is the most local thing possible because you can't hide from it once it happens to you.
It plagues you forever.
And don't think for a second that we can't engage in a massive seismic shift.
Listen, I'm only 48, ladies and gentlemen.
I lived through the Reagan Revolution.
I was a young kid when it happened.
Reagan won 49 freaking states.
49. 49. That was in my lifetime.
Because things had gotten bad enough under Carter, and Biden's far worse.
Did you see this scene at the Topanga Mall in California this past week?
week here.
Check this out.
We'll be right back.
Clean the place out, folks.
What's the next logical step for retailers that can't possibly adjust to this new level of debauchery, thievery, and plain evil?
To leave!
They're all gonna leave!
You're gonna be left with nothing but retail and food deserts everywhere.
That's all you're gonna have left.
Is that when it gets bad enough?
When you've gotta drive 60 miles to pick up a stick of butter and some popcorn?
How bad is it going to have to get?
The answer, unfortunately, is really bad.
We have been trying to save you from yourself, leftists.
We've been trying.
We've warned you about all the bullshit, the defund the police, the ridiculously high taxes.
The endless focus on sex and race at the expense of the quality of life of your citizens.
Now it's all coming home.
I don't wish this on you.
You wished it on yourselves.
We tried to save you from yourselves.
You didn't want to be saved.
Here's another one.
Security guard tries to wrestle with this guy.
Stealing a bunch of clothes from the store.
Security guy probably got fired for all we know.
You know, check this out.
I mean, I don't know what happened to Skyy's fight.
I have no idea.
Here's another one.
A rap concert this weekend.
Apparently some gunshots went off at the rap concert.
You think people would be looking to help or call the cops?
No.
They used it as an excuse to go loot the merch at the concert.
Check this out.
Thank you.
This is why you are living through a rebellion.
Because everyone can see this now.
Everyone can see the cancerous rot of liberalism and what it's done to what was once at least a society of the greed on some common goals.
This would have been embarrassing if you were caught on video even 10 years ago.
Now they don't care.
Now they get sent to some website and everybody celebrates.
Look at these guys.
Free merch.
It ain't free, man.
Check out this tweet by this Alec McGillis.
This is the next step.
Retail deserts as everybody evacuates these liberal states.
You know, it's the only grocery store in Washington, D.C.'s Ward 8, an area with more than 85,000 people, says it's hundreds of thousands of dollars in the red because of growing levels of theft.
And the local councilman says he fears the store might close.
Your fears?
You think?
This is the next step.
These places are going to get evacuated, folks.
You watch.
But chest up.
Chin out.
Chest out.
Chin up.
There's a rebellion going on.
Sometimes you need to hit that hole in the valley, man, before you can start marching up the mountain again.
People need to see how bad it can get.
It is getting there right now because there's some real green shoots here.
And I'm starting to feel really good about it.
A little bit of good news.
Take a quick break for our sponsor.
Gee, these are your favorite spots?
Guys, are your boys sticking to your thigh right now?
Not now.
I got Tommy Johns on.
You see?
Look.
They're not sticking at all.
Did you see that?
They were.
I got them on right now.
As summer heats up, it'll only get worse.
What?
You want to say I wear Tommy Johns?
Don't show me.
Why not?
It's my underwear.
It's no big deal.
I'm not getting naked or anything.
Tommy John underwear is the cooling solution to sticky situations.
When you wear Tommy John, you're that much more comfortable.
So you can do everything better.
Tommy John underwear is dozens of comfort innovations like breathable, lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric with four times the stretch of competing brands.

Because there's no flopping, sticking, or shaving.
That's why Tommy John, they don't have customers.
They have fanatics like me.

It's like a segment in the room of itself.
Thank you, Tommy John.
Hey, here's the good news.
The rebellion is happening.
I told you.
Sound of Freedom, Target, Bud Light, Disney.
This is happening right before your eyes.
Don't get down.
You know, I need you to keep fighting and stay inspired, but don't get down and think all is lost like that, you know, weird Robert Redford movie when he was out there on the ship all day at the ocean.
It's not.
This was Oliver Anthony this weekend in, make sure I get this right, Caratuck County, North Carolina.
If you haven't heard of Oliver Anthony, he is a guy, I don't know his politics, I don't particularly care about his politics, but he wrote a song basically condemning the swamp and the political class that this cultural rebellion is rebelling against.
The song is, I think, the number one song on iTunes.
It's 8 million-something views.
The song's amazing.
He showed up at this festival this weekend.
I guess he was pre-scheduled to sing there.
Small town.
They had 25 acres taken over full of people parking to see him.
Here was a little snippet of what happened.
Take a look at this.
Putting themselves six feet in the ground because all this damn country does is keep on kicking them down.
lord it's a damn shame what the world's gotten to for people like me and people like you wish i could just wake up and it not be true but it is lord it is Gosh.
that's a feel-good story A friend of mine was there A very close friend of mine Flew in, traveled cross-country And said the place was packed Said he sat there for two hours afterwards, after this concert.
Believe me, it was hot.
To take selfies and sign autographs for people.
And he wanted to leave until he took care of everyone.
Wish this guy the best of luck in his career.
Now, of course, that didn't stop Rolling Stone and the dying culture on the left, which is a culture of death.
And it's a culture of cannibalism, as I've warned you often.
The left's seeking out of constantly new people to target.
They're losing because the right's giving them the double barrel middle finger.
So they're starting to sick themselves on themselves.
It's a cannibalistic effort.
They're running out of targets on the right because we don't give a shit.
We ignore these people.
Here's Rolling Stone, which once pretended to be an outlet that covered entertainment and music.
They're so, folks, they've got the sands.
They are so desperate to stop the rebellion.
Right-wing influencers just found their new favorite country song.
The article by Joseph Hudak, who could not be more condescending, talking about how we're losing our minds over this song.
So again, just to be clear...
It's okay to go out there and rap songs about, you know, wet ass.
I can't even say it.
If you know the song, if you know, you know, it's okay to, you know, go out there and drop a bunch of N-bombs and songs talking about how awful the cops are and all this other stuff.
Guy goes out there and does what's not really a political song.
He doesn't mention any politician.
He mentions how he doesn't like rich men north of Richmond targeting the working man.
They're desperate to stop the rebellion, folks.
They are desperate to stop the rebellion.
But please do not get your foot off that gas pedal, man.
Level that thing down.
Here's Disney, who can't seem to get out of their own way.
I want you to watch this.
Is this what you want?
Is this what you're looking for with Disney?
So Disney has a movie coming out next year about Snow White.
Snow White, a classic.
Can we all agree, fellas?
A classic, you know, Snow White.
So, of course, Disney had to do the woke Snow White.
Here's an actress by the name of Rachel Zegler.
Rachel Zegler.
I want you to watch.
I guess she plays Snow White.
I'm not even sure.
Is she a Snow White actress or something?
She's a Snow White actress.
She's been out doing PR. She's actually out there.
Public Relations, for the liberals listening.
She's out there actually doing anti-PR. Every appearance this woman makes is a disaster for this movie.
She tries to tell people how stupid they are, who back in the 1930s did this nice fairy tale about a prince.
You can't have that, old values or anything.
Everything's got to be woken up.
I want you to watch Disappearance, how condescending and pathetic this is as it continues to get worse for the Disney disaster.
Take a look at this.
The original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so.
There's a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her.
Weird.
Weird.
Super weird.
So we didn't do that this time.
So no prince or a different kind of prince?
We have a different approach to what I'm sure a lot of people will assume is a love story just because we cast a guy in the movie, Andrew Burnham.
Great dude.
It's one of those things that I think everyone's going to have their assumptions about what it's actually going to be, but it's really not about the love story at all, which is really, really wonderful.
And whether or not she finds love along the way is anybody's guess until 2024. All of Andrew's scenes could get cut.
Who knows?
It's Hollywood, baby.
Oh, my God.
This is, he just said it.
This is the single cringiest interview I've ever heard.
Oh, all the guy's scenes may get cut.
Love story?
Who wants to see that?
I mean, it was made in 1937. I mean, what did those idiots know back then?
A lot more than you know now in 2023, lady.
I don't know who Rachel Zegler is, but I would encourage Disney.
Listen, you do you.
I am an absolutist on free speech.
You do you.
It's good for your company.
If you've seen Disney's stock price, my recommendation is you shelve this lady as soon as possible and cut her scenes out of Snow White.
Cut...
No, no.
I'm sorry, Guy.
It's a good point.
Folks, you agree with Guy in the chat?
Yes, you agree.
No, you don't.
I mean, she's 22 years old, and she works for Disney.
She's clearly got a deeper body of knowledge about the intricacies of life than any of it.
I agree with Guy, so for me, it's a big yes.
She's super smart.
We should definitely take life advice from her is what you're suggesting, right?
Joe, how old are you?
Joe.
What?
How old are you?
I'm learning the system.
I'm 60. He just screamed.
He's now deaf.
He now officially can't hear anymore.
Joe's 66. So Joe, we all need to take, especially Joe, because he's an old fuddy-duddy in his 60s.
You don't know anything.
Listen to Rachel Zegas.
You don't know nothing.
Yes, we can tell.
We can tell.
Now, why would you need to listen to that?
Now, listen, on a very serious note.
This weekend, one of the things I left out of my weekend update, I don't go to the movies much anymore because everybody's woke like this, and I don't want to give them any money because I just don't want to support their lifestyle.
So this weekend, I managed to make it out to see Oppenheimer.
Forgive me, I hate giving Hollywood any money at all, but candidly, folks, I've been so obsessed with this story.
When I was a kid, my favorite song was The Russians by Sting.
And there's that line about, how can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
You know, when I was a kid, I knew who Oppenheimer was, but I didn't know the real story.
So I used to read everything I could, and Oppenheimer, I was just fascinated by the whole nuclear arms thing.
And I didn't, not specifically Oppenheimer, but how we built the bomb and the difference between a thermonuclear weapon, fission and fusion, whatever.
Doesn't really matter.
I just thought it was really interesting.
So I wanted to see Oppenheimer, and I saw it this weekend.
And not to get too long or verbose on it, but...
This lady is a simpleton, Rachel Zagler.
You can tell by just listening to her talk.
She's a reductionist.
She reduces the world into very simple kind of you good, you know, you bad, me good, right?
This is the new liberal thing.
Everything's reductionist.
Black skin versus white skin.
You know, everything is reductionist into you're with me or you're against me.
And it's one of the cardinal sins of liberalism is this reductionist nonsense into you bad people, me good people.
We think of liberals as people with bad ideas.
Liberals think of others as bad people with ideas.
You get it?
That's reductionist thinking.
It's simpleton thinking.
It's imbecile thinking.
How does this relate to Oppenheimer this weekend?
One, if you're up for it, I recommend the movie.
It's told with a left-leaning Ben, but it's worth seeing.
It's long, so over the age of 40, don't drink a lot of water before you go in.
It's about three hours and 15 minutes with all the teasers and stuff in the beginning of the trailers.
But the story of Oppenheimer reminded me that don't ever give up if you're a conservative on that bedrock feeling that people are complex and can't be judged easily.
Oppenheimer was one of the smartest human beings to ever stand on this rock we call Earth.
A guy who just thought in a different way like most of us.
Yet Oppenheimer had communist sympathies.
Think about that.
How did one of the smartest human beings, Joe loves his history, but he's nodding over there.
One of the smartest human beings with computing power you and I will never be able to imagine.
The guy saw math.
Yet he didn't know communism was a road to hell.
I mean, the body bags piling up everywhere, he didn't know that?
People are complex.
Don't ever become Rachel Zegler.
Understand that, please.
It's an important point.
All right, I got a lot more to head, including a warning number...
Jim, text me if I'm wrong here.
Warning number 4,579?
That World War III is potentially right around the corner?
By the way, not an intentional segue from the Oppenheimer segment at all.

Here it is!
Warning number 4,579 that the Chinese Communist Party and others are getting ready to do something really awful in the United States, and you damn well better get prepared.
Remember the article?
The scientist who spoke to the Chinese Communist Party defector, Mueller, Who said that World War III is going to be conducted with biological virus-like weapons and computer attacks?
Here was a representative from California, Kevin Kiley.
He was on Newsmax this weekend talking about that secret Chinese company-connected lab, biolab found in where?
Vietnam?
No, California!
California!
So weird!
And he brings up an important point.
Why all the secrecy behind this lab?
And how many more labs are there?
I don't know.
Sounds like a good question, Representative Kiley.
Maybe people in Congress should start paying attention outside of him.
This sounds like it's pretty serious.
Check this out.
You have this situation where an abandoned warehouse.
It was discovered that there's this company whose owners are in China that is genetically engineering mice.
They found 1,000 mice.
twice 200 were dead actually.
They found vials of dangerous pathogens like COVID, like malaria, like E. coli.
And there was no license, the lab was operating illegally, was in violation of many, many codes.
And we've also learned by the way that Gavin Newsom's administration gave the company a $360,000 tax credit I mean, the local city manager said that clearly they didn't want anyone to know they were there.
The public health officer said he'd We're good to go.
The Mathers says it's 4,580, but our official counter, Jim, from the radio show, says that's inaccurate.
It says 4579. So, the Mathers, I thank you for staying on top of it in the chat, but I think because, Jim, you know what it may be?
Jim's listening, but I think we double-counted 4578, so some people, it's definitely 4579. But getting back to the most important part, what the hell's going on here?!
You got a freaking biolab in the middle of California that was engaged in a whole lot of secret stuff going on with infected animals in there.
After we had a COVID, you know, this COVID, anybody heard of it?
This COVID thing?
You know, it's coming back a little bit again at election time.
They're going to, the fear is going to be stoked times a thousand.
How many more of these are around the United States?
Oh, the answer is we don't know.
And that sounds like...
Can we just gauge the audience here to the studio audience?
Is that a problem?
Yes, that's a problem.
You see, even they're saying that's a problem.
How many more of these biolabs are around?
How many more signs do we need, man, that the Chinese Communist Party, that they are not effing around?
How many more do you need?
Well, here's another one for you from Futurism.
Chinese military said it figured out how to build laser weapons that can fire indefinitely.
I don't know about you, but that sounds like a problem to me too.
Hypersonics, you know, next generation fighters, they're working on building out their navy bigger than we are.
They're building bioweapons labs in the United States, or at least biological labs, I want to be precise.
Working on infiltrating our military with woke culture and a cultural revolution here in the United States.
Infiltrating the Japanese and the United States' military system with computer viruses to hijack it.
Sounds like kind of an issue.
So it's really good that people like Dr. Fauci were in government.
What a great guy he was.
He was just awesome.
Just a transformative failure.
Don't you love him?
Isn't he great, guys?
Dr. Fauci was just a paragon of honesty.
He was just the best.
We all love Dr. Fauci.
Of course I can.
If you're not picking up the sarcasm, you're probably on the wrong show.
Here was Rand Paul this past week on Fox talking about Dr. Fauci, who now there is a really strong body of evidence that Dr. Fauci lied in front of Congress about actually funding biological research on these viruses, a gain of function over there in China.
And good for Rand Paul saying, hey, I want an investigation.
I want an investigation, a criminal investigation of the perjury that may have happened up there on Capitol Hill.
Here, check this out.
Well, you know, I don't think there's ever been a clear case of perjury in the history of government testimony, and I don't say that lightly.
He said adamantly that the government never funded this gain-of-function research.
We now have the Government Accountability Office, the GAO, has admitted that the funding came from the NIH. We have the acting director, Tabak, of the NIH admitting it in writing that it came from the NIH. But now we have really the smoking gun, and that is Fauci in private saying the opposite.
I want investigations.
I don't want media appearances.
I'm not taking a shot at Rand Paul's been one of the few guys leading the charge.
Media appearances are only good for keeping up the pressure.
Investigations.
These people need to be investigated for unleashing this plague upon the American people.
People around the world.
And the next person in charge, this is no time for cutesy time.
So again, this is what I think is one of Trump's assets that other people think is one of his faults.
They say, well, he can't run again.
Good!
Good!
It'd be awesome to have a president concerned with fixing things in four years rather than re-election.
Because what does every first-term president want?
Anybody here know what they want?
A second term!
He doesn't have that.
It is time to go and make sure that the people responsible for potentially breaking the law and this plague unleashed on humankind are finally held responsible.
Speaking of that, it's a perfect time for an election update if you haven't done this in a while.
Folks, this case down in Georgia, which is a potential fourth indictment against Donald Trump by the police state.
Another embarrassing case, by the way.
This case in Georgia may come down today or tomorrow.
I think the grand jury only meets in Georgia and that county on Monday and Tuesday.
It could come down today or tomorrow.
Another indictment, a fourth one against Donald Trump.
The police state won't stop.
Folks, they're doing this tactically.
And I tell you what.
Hate it and you should, but you better damn well respect what they're doing or you're not going to know how to respond.
This indictment in Georgia is very tactical.
Why?
There's nothing I like more than when they say the quiet part out loud.
Here's Axios this morning.
Since these Georgia charges would be state charges, a presidential pardon wouldn't free Trump.
If he were to win the presidency, or if a Republican sympathetic to him were to win, the President of the United States can't pardon or dismiss these charges.
It's an Anthony Michael Christ.
Apparently he has two first names.
A law professor at Georgia State University.
I kid.
You think it was a mistake?
I don't think they're that worried about the New York case with Twinkies, Alvin Bragg.
The case is so ridiculous, it has almost no chance of standing, even in New York.
It's that bad.
This case in Georgia is serious.
This case in Georgia is serious, not because there was any crime committed, but because the people down there are stretching the meaning of RICO statutes to put him in jail.
And there's no pardon for this.
This is a serious threat.
This police state's not kidding around, ladies and gentlemen.
They thought this all through.
And this is the guy we're running against.
Rotting, freaking oatmeal brains in the White House.
You've got 100 people dead now in Maui.
The death toll could be double that.
Could be even worse.
You've got portions of the island that are in apocalyptic condition from one of the most devastating natural disasters in American history and clearly the most devastating this year, one of the most devastating in modern times.
What's oatmeal brains doing?
Our POTUS, well, he's hanging out on the beach sunning his nuts or something like that.
He was asked about the rising death toll in Hawaii.
No comment, he said before heading home.
No comment?
Nothing to say?
Nothing to offer?
Maybe God bless the victims with the strength they need to get through this struggle.
Maybe we're going to marshal all our federal resources to help.
Maybe we're here for you.
We're reaching out to the governor.
Not for rotting oatmeal brain, sunning his loins there.
You know, I hate to tell you.
You know, Guy's got a good point.
Folks, give Guy a big why for yes, good point, or no, a bad point.
Guy's point was sometimes with Joe riding a bottle of oatmeal.
A running bag of oatmeal in the White House that sometimes no comment is better.
Sometimes I mix up the SpaghettiOs with the oatmeal.
You heard that?
Sometimes no comment is better.
I'm going to type a yes.
Hold on.
Let me go now.
Yes, I agree.
I'm putting a wine in.
You see me in the chat here, folks?
Here.
Come on.
Come on.
There we go.
Wine.
There we go.
Yes, everybody agrees with you, Guy.
Sometimes rotting oatmeal brain should just shut his mouth and not say anything.
All right, here's an election update.
I told you we're going to cover all the candidates.
So Vivek had a bad moment and a good moment, I think, this weekend.
Vivek Ramaswamy is running third, and some polls are running second.
Trump's far out in the lead, number one.
DeSantis is number two in most polls.
Vivek Ramaswamy's been moving hard, number three here.
He had a pretty bad moment, I think, on the Tim Pool show, implying that there would be some kind of a...
Pardon for Hunter Biden.
Now, he disputes that exactly.
That's exactly what he said.
He said now he would not support a pardon for Hunter Biden.
You got to watch the whole clip.
It's the wording's a little confusing.
However, this was, I thought, a pretty good moment.
I want to expose you to all the candidates.
That way you're making an informed decision.
You know where I stand, but it's not my business to tell you who to vote for.
Here's a lady who comes up to him, claims to be a journalist.
Say claims because I don't know what journalists even are anymore.
I mean, they seem like fairy tale writers.
But she identifies as a pansexual journalist.
Folks, honestly, I don't even know what that is.
I don't know.
I have no idea what that means.
Guy, do you know?
Does anyone here know?
Joe, anyone know?
Yeah, Joe has no idea either.
So he's asked a question, Vivek, about the LGBTQIABIOPC plus one.
And it's a really good answer, though.
I think you should hear it.
Check this out.
I was just wondering, what were your opinions on the LGBTQ plus community?
Well, I don't think it's one community.
Really?
Yeah, I mean, how could it be?
You just mash together an alphabet soup.
Trans is fundamentally in tension with gay, if you ask me.
But, what's your opinion?
I'm personally a pansexual, so I was just wondering what your views on same-sex couples were.
I don't have a negative view of same-sex couples, but I do have a negative view of a tyranny of the minority.
So I think that in the name of protecting against a tyranny of the majority, and there are times in this country's history where we have had a tyranny of the majority, we have now, in the name of protecting against tyranny of the majority, created a new tyranny of the minority.
Yeah, we have.
That's a damn good answer.
Listen, if you follow the work of Leftists over time and Marxist organizers, you understand that they've always been a minority.
Getting a majority of people to forfeit their civil liberties over is nearly impossible.
So you're always dealing with mathematical minorities, but you still want people's civil liberties.
So how do you do that?
You engage in a tyranny of the minority.
I played that Ehud Barak clip for you last week.
Former Israeli Prime Minister and leftist who indicated that only 8% of the adult population taking to the streets is necessary to enact a cultural revolution.
It's a great answer.
Start that through.
CNN, by the way, in our election update block here, is seething over Trump in Iowa.
Trump had a good weekend in Iowa.
Came in and basically stole the show.
Folks, listen.
It's really hard for candidates, no matter where you stand.
Again, everyone's welcome here.
Everyone.
I'm not going to get into this beating up other candidates.
I'm not.
I don't believe in Republican on Republican violence.
This isn't the show for that.
Ron DeSantis is a great governor.
Vivek's been a great entrepreneur.
But Donald Trump was a great president.
I believe he deserves another shot.
So he came to Iowa, and having been through candidates and campaigns when I was an agent, it's really, really hard to compete with a guy with the name ID, the Secret Service around him, who was the only guy who's actually done the job.
So he showed up at the Iowa State Fair, and folks, he just basically stole the show.
I mean, it's really hard for anyone else to get any traction here.
I'm going to tell you how their next trick, by the way, to try and get him out of the race.
But first, listen, CNN is really upset about Trump's popularity at the Iowa State Fair.
Excuse me, check this out.
Clearly, Trump is just a magnet for attention.
Now, I will say, you know, he was appearing in a rather small sort of restaurant on the grounds of the fair, of the fair.
And so there wasn't room for a lot of people inside.
And so for people to be in his vicinity, they had to sort of crowd around outside.
And I counted, as you could see in those photos, there were 30, 30 deep at one point on all sides of that venue, just straining to catch a glimpse or hear a little snippet of what he was saying.
He spoke very briefly and roamed around very briefly and then was back off on his plane.
But it really symbolizes the way in which Donald Trump is the center of attention in the primary and the way that his sort of quasi-incumbent status gives him a platform that none of the other candidates have.
They are just not going to be able to compete with that level of attention.
Now, as I remember trying to teach my three-year-old at one point, attention can be good or bad.
Not all attention is good attention, right?
A lesson that seemingly Donald Trump never learned in his childhood.
Notice the smart-ass comment at the end, a three-year-old, because they're so much smarter than you, like Guy said.
She's probably 22 as well.
Guy, maybe her and Rachel Zegler should get together and they should tell us all how to live.
They should write a book like Jordan Peterson's book, like 12 Steps to Better Living, because we all need journalists and Rachel Zegler to tell us all how to live, because we don't really know anything.
You notice the sneering, though?
But I will say this.
She's not wrong.
He is overshadowing and basically sucking the air out of the room.
And I say that as a Trump supporter.
It's going to be really hard for them to get any traction.
One more thing.
I saw someone in the chat.
You know what?
I need you in the chat.
Sometimes I do this to do interaction because I like having you.
But this, I'm really curious about your thoughts on this.
Did you see the Vivek Eminem moment?
I don't want to put it on because he started rapping Lose Yourself by Eminem.
I'm going to give you my opinion, and of course you're free to disagree, but I don't think this was a bad thing.
Someone in the chat suggested he looked bad doing it.
I don't think it was a bad thing.
Folks, I don't know about you, but when I was in college, the guy running for president was Bill Clinton.
And Bill Clinton got out on Arsenio Hall and put the glasses on and played the saxophone.
And there were a lot of Democrats who thought it looked stupid, too.
And you know, a lot of people find that stuff relatable.
So I don't think it looked bad at all.
I mean, that's just my opinion.
Again, I could be wrong.
You guys, I don't know, you guys saw it.
Yeah, see, Lortiz, I think it was a great move.
I thought it was too.
I mean, he says it was impromptu.
Vivek, I don't know if it was impromptu or not, but the guy can rap.
I don't know where you got that skill from, but he's pretty good at it.
All right, I got a lot more to get to.
Don't go anywhere.
This is how they're going to try to get rid of Trump, though.
Final piece of the election 2024 update.
Listen, I called this a while ago, along with many others.
I'm certainly not unique in that regard.
It was easy to see.
Here's Adam Liptack at the New York Times.
A conservative case emerges to disqualify Trump for his role on January 6th.
I already warned you about this 14th Amendment thing.
They're not conservative, these people saying that.
This is going to be the next step to kick them off the ballot.
And for those of you who think, and I know it's probably not in my chat, but other moderate Republicans out there who are kind of rhino-y and swampy, Oh, they'll never do that.
They'll get lost in the Supreme Court.
Really?
Are you serious?
Everything we said they would never do.
Arrest him, raid his house in Mar-a-Lago, charge him with fake crimes.
They're already doing.
So forgive me, but a really hard pass on what they're not going to do because they've already done it.
All right, I got a quick news roundup.
I'm going to do this a couple times a week because a lot of these stories get left behind.
And by Friday, I get mad at myself because I never got to talk about them and give my input.
Do you see this story in the Daily Mail?
The death toll rises after this explosion in Pittsburgh.
Did you see this?
These people are in their house.
This is a real tragedy.
Five people died, four adults and one child.
Watch what was caught on this ring doorbell, this house.
No one seems to know why this happened.
I know it's above a mine.
I'm not going to speculate yet.
It's not fair, the Bongino rule, right?
But I want you to watch the video from the ring doorbell.
This was not a small explosion.
Take a look at this.
I have no answers for you.
And until I do, I'm not going to speculate.
I'm just telling you, I've never seen anything like that.
Here's a video for you in the news roundup.
You know, everybody's buying into these local neighborhood recycling programs.
I'm here to tell you that 90% of these things are BS. Most of it's getting dumped in the ocean and sent to China.
We could bury this stuff in landfills that are about as environmentally friendly now as they're ever going to be.
The great John Stossel did a little bit on this.
This is about 40 seconds of it.
Buying into the recycling hype.
Take a look at this.
Landfills had plenty of room for it.
Today they have more space than we'll ever need.
If you think of the United States as a football field, All the garbage that we will generate in the next 1,000 years would fit inside a tiny fraction of the one-inch line.
Really?
Oh, that's surprising.
On top of that, today's landfills are not the polluters they once were.
Some sensible regulations make sure they don't pollute.
Eventually, landfills are turned into ski hills, parks, and golf courses.
Putting garbage here is much cheaper than recycling.
So why do towns keep pushing recycling?
They do it because people demand it.
It's a sacrament of the green religion.
I rinse my cans.
I take my labels off.
If there's plastic on that something that's paper, I take the plastic piece off of it.
It's fine if they want to do it voluntarily, but we shouldn't mandate that.
Bury it!
Bury it!
Like we used to do it!
We'll figure out a way in the future, like we always do.
We're going to develop garbage.
You want it floating in the ocean?
What are you going to do?
Fly it into outer space?
Hey, one last story.
Just the news.
Be in the newsletter today.
