Time Text
Thank you.
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.
First, let me say, because this is really a ridiculous news day, so much so we're genuinely concerned how much we're going to get through.
You got debates.
Thankfully, genocide is bad again on college campuses.
They figured it out.
Only took them a congressional hearing to do that.
But before we start anything...
Just a brief kind of moment to recognize the heroes that died at Pearl Harbor.
Genuine American heroes serving in our military, going about their day in a cowardly strike.
People died really awful deaths.
Covered in oil, stuck out there in the water, burning to death, drowning.
You're American heroes.
And she reminds you every day that there's no average day in the military.
They were just doing their jobs in Pearl Harbor and next thing you know they were dead.
So let's not forget that on December 7th.
That's the stuff that really matters.
I say that because I had a kind of a rough hour here before the show dealing with a lot of stuff and it always helps to ground me realizing that my problems are like this compared to the problems of our fighting men and women on the front lines who go out and get killed any day of the week.
They're the real heroes.
So thanks to all who serve and everyone in the chat right now and listening.
Thank you.
All right, I got a lot to get through.
Debate last night.
We'll cover that first.
I'm not going to cover a lot of it because it's...
Really, it was basically them beating the shit out of each other.
MyPillow's soft and absorbent six-piece towel set.
It's only $29.98 with promo code Dan.
Go to MyPillow.com right now.
Click on the radio podcast specials or call 1-800-637-4982.
Again, I got that.
And then the border situation has now reached near apocalyptic levels.
The numbers speak for themselves.
Someone's going to get hurt, folks.
It's going to happen.
Folks, relief band.
Listen, I don't like products on the show that I can't relate to.
I mean, we can be very picky with our sponsors.
This is a sponsor who directly impacted my life.
This is my actual relief band here.
You know, I went through the cancer thing, good now, but The chemotherapy kind of sucks.
It makes you want to vomit all the time.
I wouldn't have got through it without this.
This thing absolutely works.
You turn it on, you turn it up.
This is my actual relief band.
So number one, anti-nausea wristband helps quickly relieve and effectively prevent nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness, anxiety, migraines, hangovers, morning sickness, chemotherapy, and more.
Whether you need everyday relief or just an occasional cure from nausea, it's natural.
Fast-acting will last as long as you need it.
It's 100% drug-free, non-drowsy, and has zero side effects.
It's like the name says.

Plus, Relief Band treats and prevents nausea so you can help avoid nausea from becoming a problem in the first place.

Check them out.
Thanks, Relief Band.
We appreciate it.
All right, Joseph, let's go.
And away we go, Dan.
By the way, again, a couple people commented about the weird way...
I drink the water.
I'm sorry.
I drink it that way because my elbow doesn't work.
My elbow does not reach my mouth.
So I have to hinge at my wrist to do it.
I saw somebody commenting on that.
I know you think you bothered by the littlest thing.
I'm not bothered by it.
I just don't want you to think I'm some weirdo or something.
That's why I drink water.
I can drink it normal with my left hand, but I'm afraid.
You see, left is okay, just not my right.
Yeah, I know.
It's a big issue.
It is.
He's like, I'm glad you wasted 30 seconds of the show's time that way.
So, the debate last night.
Ladies and gentlemen, the orchestra pit theory strikes again.
What is the orchestra pit theory?
The orchestra pit theory is courtesy of the late Roger Ailes, used to be from Fox News, who said, you go to this fine concert.
It's an opera.
The guy's like, he's doing his thing and everybody, ah!
And what happens?
The dude backs up and he falls in the orchestra pit.
What's on the front page of the New York Post?
Guy has an awesome concert, blows it out, sold out.
No, dude fell in the orchestra pit.
That's all anybody remembers.
That's why I bring up last night's debate.
I saw all this back and forth.
I watched it.
My humble opinion.
Who won?
I think DeSantis won.
And when I say won, I mean like who came out of it better than they went in or at least not worse.
DeSantis.
Haley, no question, comes out of it worse.
I don't think Vivek comes out of it that great either.
And Christie just got to...
Megyn Kelly just ended Chris Christie.
Dear Chris, you're in the race with zero, zero, zero percent of the vote eating Twinkies all day.
Forget Chris Christie.
You're a waste of time except for the back and forth.
But the orchestra pit theory, Roger Ailes says about how you'll always remember the loudest moment.
All everybody remembers is this.
So Vivek, let's start out with Vivek, who probably again, between him and Megyn Kelly, ended Chris Christie last night.
I'm not sure this helped Vavate that much.
I'm just going to be straight with you.
He hasn't been doing that great in the polls lately, but he had a good time with Chris Christie.
This goes on for a little bit.
It's about a minute, but he tells him at one point to just exit the stage and have a nice meal.
Check this out.
We learned three things right there.
First of all, Chris Christie also doesn't know what provinces in eastern Ukraine he actually wants us to fight for.
Chris, your version of foreign policy experience was closing a bridge from New Jersey to New York.
So do everybody a favor, just walk yourself off that stage, enjoy a nice meal, and get the hell out of this race.
When it comes to Nikki...
I think if you're going to actually send your sons and daughters to go die in somebody else's war, you better...
Excuse me, Chris, I'm speaking, and I'm not done yet.
You had your chance, and we're going to be done.
So listen up to this.
If these people want to send your sons and daughters to go die in Ukraine, they've been arguing for it for a year.
$200 billion of our taxpayer money sent over.
Neither of them could even name for you the provinces that they actually want to protect.
And this is the people who have been touting their so-called foreign policy experience.
It is intellectual fraud.
These people are lying to you.
Okay, a couple of things about the orchestra pit theory.
That's all everybody remembers because the guy fell in the orchestra pit.
Now, the good part about the orchestra pit theory of politics is that you remember the opera and it makes the front page of the New York Post.
Wobble hem or whatever.
I don't listen to opera.
I'm not an opera guy.
I'm a middle class hump.
I was a cop and an agent, okay?
I'm not some opera dude.
It sounds great.
Whatever.
It's not my bag of donuts, okay?
But the good part is a lot of people read the front page of the New York Post and even though the dude fell in the orchestra pit, they're like, holy shit, there's an opera in New York City.
Right?
It's free PR. So that's free PR for Vivek because he's all over everywhere today.
However, the question, I don't know folks, I'm going to send it out to you.
You know, I know you come to the show for my opinion, but my opinion on this one is, I think it's a push.
I think it helps him because he looks like this kind of aggressive go-getter.
I'm calling out the establishment swamp.
But I think a lot of people who maybe aren't as aggressive and conservative as us, a pretty aggressive show, are like, I don't know, he came off as a bully.
I'm not, I'm not, I don't know.
I'm honestly not sure.
In case you think I'm bullshitting y'all, Joe, when I was putting a mattifier shit on my face in the bathroom, what did I say to you about Vivek?
Did I not ask you, what do you guys think of this?
Yeah.
And what did I say?
I was like, I can't figure it out.
I really can't.
I'm not sure if it helps him or if it hurts him.
Well, we'll see.
We'll see in the coming days.
Maybe I should apply the Bongino rule.
But that was the orchestra pit.
Everybody knows Vivek's name today, if you didn't yesterday, from that alone.
Here was the second takeaway from it, and he ended with this.
And this was the big-time orchestra pit.
And again, I bring this up because he just went for it at the end.
January 6th, replacement theory.
Vivek just totally went for it.
And again, how does this play?
I don't know.
We're going to have to see, but you can listen to yourself.
Three of them have been licking Donald Trump's boots for years for money and endorsements.
Ron DeSantis, you've been a great governor, but you would have never been one without actually begging Donald Trump for that endorsement.
And you attacked him in your book a year ago.
Same thing with Chris Christie as a lobbyist, begging them for COVID money for his special interests in New Jersey, prepping him for the debates last time around.
These people are now Monday morning quarterbacking some decision he made.
I think the real enemy is not Donald Trump.
It's not even Joe Biden.
It is the deep state that at least Donald Trump attempted to take on.
And if you want somebody who's going to speak truth to power, then vote for somebody who's going to speak the truth to you.
Why am I the only person on the stage, at least, who can say that January 6th now does look like it was an inside job?
That the government lied to us for 20 years about Saudi Arabia's involvement in 9-11.
That the great replacement theory is not some grand right-wing conspiracy theory, but a basic statement of the Democratic Party's platform.
That the 2020 election was indeed stolen by big tech.
That the 2016 election, the one that Trump won for sure, was also one that was stolen from him by the national security establishment.
Well, listen, I give him the Moose Nuts Award for just coming out and saying it.
And I focused on this replacement theory thing for a long time because he's absolutely correct.
The great replacement theory, even though Van Jones was crying about it last night on CNN or whatever, is a Democrat thing.
No, it's not, Dan.
That's a conspiracy theory.
Guy, do we have to do it again?
Should we do it again?
The New York Times, what do you think?
Yeah, let's do it again.
Let's throw the article up, folks.
New York Times, October 29th, 2018. We can replace them!
Jim, on the radio show later, should we do it again?
Should we play the Demographic Destiny montage?
Maybe we'll do that for the radio on you later.
You can call Vivek whatever you want.
About the replacement theory, he's not kidding.
It's a Democrat Party platform.
It's not a Republican thing.
They're just mad at us for noticing.
The article's literally titled, We Can Replace Them in a New York Times.
It's a real article, bro.
The great replacement theory.
It's like the great pumpkin Charlie Brown.
It's their theory.
Vivek's not wrong.
Good for him for saying it.
Holy Moses.
They're just mad at you for noticing.
That's it.
That's the only reason they're mad at you.
Notice they don't rebuke anyone else who talks about it, including Michelle Goldberg.
It's just us for noticing.
All right, getting to some other stuff.
Big announcement, folks.
Big announcement.
You guys are going to be very happy.
There was a big shift yesterday in the three university presidents who disgraced themselves up on Capitol Hill.
Ladies and gentlemen, they've come to the conclusion, after eight hours plus of questioning and a lot of feedback from a lot of people, they've come to the conclusion, genocide is not good.
Alright.
Yes!
Thank you!
Yes!
There you go, guys!
Everybody up!
Everybody up!
There was a moment during yesterday's This is good.
They're actually up, these guys.
They didn't have to get up, but they got them.
No one sees them.
But they did.
They got up.
Thank you.
University.
Only took a day.
Only took a day for them to figure out genocide is bad.
We played for you the clips yesterday.
These three presidents from UPenn, MIT, and Harvard up on Capitol Hill humiliating all of America and the globe and every sentient human being in this universe or others say...
Genocide?
I'm not really sure.
Depends on the context of the genocide.
It's a very specific genocide.
So here's the UPenn professor.
This is just 30 plus seconds of this.
Apparently, she was so...
I can't even tell you how bad what happened on Capitol Hill was.
When you're filming a hostage video like this, not even a day after it happens, you know you effed up big time.
Check this out.
There was a moment during yesterday's congressional hearing on anti-Semitism When I was asked if a call for the genocide of Jewish people on our campus would violate our policies.
In that moment, I was focused on our university's longstanding policies aligned with the U.S. Constitution, which say that speech alone is not punishable.
I was not focused on, but I should have been.
The irrefutable fact that a call for genocide of Jewish people is a call for some of the most terrible violence human beings can perpetrate.
That took a day.
That took a day.
Seems weird a little bit.
Weird.
I mean, Pee Wee figured it out right away.
What the hell was that?
Folks, this is not hard.
And in case there's any confusion, because I unloaded on some dipshit yesterday on my radio show.
The rant will be on the weekend show if you want to hear it.
I mean unloaded on this guy.
I told him on the air to go F himself, which is probably not a good thing, but I did it anyway.
I was like, so Dan, you're for censorship now?
What are you talking about?
I'm not for censoring this lady at all.
Honestly, I don't even care if she gets fired.
It's none of my business.
It's none of my company.
If UPenn and Harvard think it's a good thing to have presidents who have really no issue in a code of conduct with genocide, I don't care.
It's not my problem.
Now, it is my problem in the sense that I don't believe genocide's a good thing.
I think it's like really bad.
And it's kind of my obligation to defend humanity against genocide, if you know what I mean.
So there it's my problem.
But if these people want it, you say whatever, as long as you're not breaking the law, I'm allowed to call it out.
Here's my golden rule on this.
Why you claim them for censorship just shows you're a moron.
I'm not calling for that at all.
The government has no role in this whatsoever.
You're not breaking the law.
Say whatever you want.
And I'm allowed to say what I want.
And I'm allowed to say these people are dipshits.
And that's my stance.
And we're going to continue to poke fun at them for being morons every day of the show I can.
And that's how free speech works.
You talk, then I talk.
The Harvard president figured it out too.
Yes!
Good job!
Very good!
Harvard president ridiculed after reversing course today.
Claiming genocide calls against Jews has no place at Harvard.
Finally!
There you go.
Harvard even put out a tweet.
You see this?
They had to put out a tweet that said genocide.
No good.
Statement from President Gaye.
There are some who have confused the right to free expression with the idea that Harvard will condone calls for violence against Jewish students.
Let me be clear, which, by the way, she had eight hours to do on Capitol Hill but couldn't.
Calls for violence or genocide against the Jewish community or any religious or ethnic group are vile and have no place at Harvard.
Those who threaten our Jewish students will be held to account.
There are some, right?
Oh, I didn't even notice that.
That's a good point.
Guy highlighted that.
Yes, we were all confused yesterday.
We waited eight hours.
The part of the hearing where she said all this, we missed.
We must have missed it.
Oh, no, we didn't.
It didn't happen.
That's right.
By the way, did you see she got this Harvard tweet, got community noted into the...
It happened right before I came on the air.
It got community noted into the phantom zone.
Like, President Gay said no such thing yesterday up on Capitol Hill.
Folks, Harvard, you do you, man.
I would never send my kids there.
I just wouldn't.
If they go, I ain't paying for that.
I can't stop my kids, but I would never, ever give that place money.
By the way, again, showing you how...
What do I tell you?
What do I tell you the two most dangerous things are?
What?
What?
You should know.
Pop quiz for chatsters.
The two most dangerous things are stupidity and no emergency break.
If you do have those two things, if you're dumb and there's no emergency break on your behavior, that's how we get historical disasters like slavery.
That's how we got the Holocaust.
That's how we get Jim Crow.
Ignorance...
Ignorance combined with no emergency break or morale or kind of moral choke point on your behavior at all.
That's what we have right now.
Liberals have no moral checkpoint.
They will do anything to the Jews.
They don't care.
And they're stupid.
They're not stupid, Dan.
You say you always back it up.
Okay, let me back it up.
Here's a poll.
You know that old adage of calling for Jewish genocide from the river to the sea?
We'll do the test again.
You fail this test, you're fired.
What river are they talking about?
Is it the Mississippi?
Nah, it's not.
It is.
It's the Jordan River.
Jordan River.
The sea?
I don't know.
This one's tough.
You know what I'm talking about?
You get this, you get a promotion.
The Mediterranean, that's unbelievable.
He knows it's so strange.
It's the Jordan, which is, by the way, all of this place, the place in between has a name.
It's called again.
He's grasping Israel.
That's right.
So when you're calling for the river to sea, it's a call for genocide to get rid of all the Jews, right?
See, while Guy actually knows that, liberals don't.
Why?
Because they're morons.
They note in this poll in the Wall Street Journal that 47% of students knew what the slogan was.
Wow, 47. But that means 53% didn't.
Some of the alternative answers were the Nile River, the Euphrates, the sea answer was the Caribbean, the Caribbean Sea, the Dead Sea, which isn't even a sea, and the Atlantic, which is neither a sea nor a lake, but an ocean.
These people are morons.
Listen to this shit.
Less than a quarter of the students running a river to the sea knew who Yasser Arafat was.
Twelve of them, that's 10% of the survey, thought he was the first Prime Minister of Israel.
Yasser Arafat!
We're dealing with freaking idiots.
This is great, even better.
Asked in what decade Israelis and Palestinians signed the Oslo Accords.
more than a quarter of the chance supporters claim that no such peace agreement had ever even been signed.
Okay.
All right.
If you get the decade wrong, it's bad enough.
Like, alright, maybe cut it.
They didn't even know there was an Oslo Accord.
Combine this kind of stupidity, right?
With no emergency break on your behavior.
And ladies and gentlemen, this is why you have history books writing about horrible things.
This is incredible.
Speaking of stupidity, Joe Biden did it again yesterday.
I'll get to that.
I'll get to the border.
Trump was right again.
You better pay attention to this.
A lot going on today.
Don't go anywhere.
As you can tell, I'm having too much fun with a serious topic today because, I mean, really, the stupidity portion, I think, is going to help us in the end.
It's the lack of an emergency break that bothers me more.
Why?
Because you can actually educate some of these people.
They're total morons.
You mean the Caribbean and the Mississippi?
Yeah, yeah, bro.
That's it.
You nailed it.
Idiots.

That stuff is no joke.
Check it out.
Okay, as I said, there's a deadly combination.
No emergency break and stupidity.
He did it again.
Let me add kind of a...
I don't want to add a third factor to it because it kind of aligns with number two, no emergency break and having no morals, but dishonesty.
And I mean like sociopathic lying.
Joe Biden did it again yesterday.
Check this out.
I wanted to play lacrosse, but you had to choose between lacrosse and football.
You couldn't play both in the same season.
Since I was a powerful six-foot, 158-pounder.
I was the runner-up of state scoring championship.
Don't laugh, man.
As they say in football, I got soft hands.
It gets a lot.
So he had to choose between playing lacrosse and football.
Well, as Zach Parkinson notes on Twitter, just another bizarre lie with zero basis in fact.
Joe Biden's high school didn't have a boys lacrosse team until 1993, 32 years after he graduated.
Ladies and gentlemen, this guy is full of shit all the time.
There it is.
There's the receipts right there.
You may be saying to yourself right now, does anything Joe Biden say, anything he says is true?
The answer is no, nothing he says is true.
He is a sociopathic liar.
He is a kid-sniffing, woman-feeling, sociopathic, corrupt, bribe-taking, life-loser, grifting piece of garbage.
Who has never told you a single true thing in his entire life.
The man is disgusting.
He's a horror show in the White House.
He's a cognitive mess with an obvious frontal lobe deficit.
Who's going to drive the country into bankruptcy and world war while importing roughly 10 million people illegally into the country.
He is the single biggest cancerous wart on humankind we've seen in the last few decades.
Shit is getting annoying for real.
For real.
Like for reals.
With a Z at the end.
And not only is he doing all that, I don't know if you said, but yesterday he decided he was going to cancel more student loans.
I'll get into that tomorrow.
I don't even have time for that today.
He's going to cancel more student loans.
What does cancel mean, fellas?
Cancel means that Joe's going to pay for my kid's student loans now.
Because what happens?
All debts are paid, right, folks?
No, they're not.
Yes, all debts are paid, either by the debtor or the creditor.
If I lend Joe money and he pays me back, Joe paid his debt.
If I lend money and Joe doesn't pay me back, who paid the debt, Joe?
I did!
Yes, sir!
Yes, sir!
There's no money, fairy daddy-o.
There's no canceling debt.
You're just going to pay for your neighbor Samuel's women's studies degree.
Good luck with that.
While you're busting your ass repairing HVAC systems and actually doing hard work every day.
Paying your taxes for Samuel and his women's studies degree from the 14th century women's studies.
Probably taking a course in Taylor Swiftology.
You're paying for that.
How does that feel?
Folks, we better start squaring this shit away, Stat.
Because there's a massive threat in our country right now.
Serious time here.
I have a lot of friends in the security space.
They reach out often.
Most of them feel that, although Chris Wray is horrible as the FBI director and is a straight-up tyrant, That Christopher Wray was not lying when he was talking about these blinking lights for terrorism in the country.
Now, Christopher Wray at the FBI could stop targeting the MAGA crowd and actual terrorists and he'd probably do something about it, but he's not interested in any of that because he's a tyrant.
But ladies and gentlemen, I tweet probably three or four times a week, sometimes three or four times a day.
I want you to pay very close attention to this.
I'm getting this from very serious people.
The enemy's already here.
It's only a matter of time.
Donald Trump was asked about this.
I want you to listen to the answer because he is absolutely spot on.
Check this out.
Now, could you explain to me, what do you think the odds are that among that group of people, from our top geopolitical foes in most cases, that terror cells have entered the country because of the 8 million people Joe Biden has allowed into this country unvetted?
What are the odds?
The odds are 100%.
Look, why do we have 26,000 people?
Think of it.
No, it's 100%.
And by the way, we had nothing during my...
Remember, I had the travel ban.
I said, I don't want people coming from countries that want to blow us up.
And we put a travel ban, and some people thought I was discriminating.
But think about it.
I went four years with no problem.
We didn't have any problem.
We didn't have buildings being knocked down.
We didn't have World Trade Centers.
We didn't have any of that.
We had no we had a very strong travel ban.
And if you came from a country that was a country, I can tell you right now, I can name every one of them.
We just didn't want you.
I'm sorry.
And we actually had it passed by the Supreme Court.
And that was a big day.
Folks, by the way, I love you guys in the chat.
Just so I want you to know, this is me in here.
This is me, Dan Bongito.
Love you all.
Just so you know, if you see that in the chat right now, I want you to make sure you know that's me.
Authenticity.
You guys are great.
I'm watching you in the chat.
He's absolutely right.
Nothing this guy said is wrong.
The threat is absolutely wrong.
Here's the thing about Trump.
I say this from both a personal perspective, knowing him a little different.
I'm not name dropping.
Who gives a shit?
A lot of people know Trump.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't make me special.
I'm only bringing this up to establish some bona fides and what I'm telling you here is based on a reality of real interactions.
Not because I'm trying to impress you with knowing a guy.
A lot of people know him.
Know him a lot better than me.
But I've dealt with him enough.
He is the most transactional, practical guy I've ever met.
Almost to the point where, candidly, it sounds weird to some.
Because the questions he asks, I mean, it's the best way to explain it.
It's almost like you're talking to a guy from another universe who asks questions you never thought of, right?
Like someone comes to you, like a space alien comes to your house and goes, why do you keep your garbage cans in the house like that?
Why don't you just put them outside so you don't have any flies?
And you're like...
Shit, man, I don't know.
I never really thought of it.
That's Trump.
Fellas, that is 100% Trump.
He'll say, like, the weirdest things.
And the reason most people don't get it is because swampy shitheads have been doing swampy shithead stuff for so long, nobody thinks of anything different.
So when he came in and he was like, hey, why do we have an open border?
I don't know, because we do.
Yeah, but people are coming in here we don't know.
And his famous lawyers, they're probably not sending their best.
They're not.
They weren't sending engineers here.
Everybody's like, that guy's got to be a racist.
Meanwhile, a lot of Americans are like, no, that kind of sounds right.
That kind of sounds okay.
Because engineers and doctors are not going to come in the country illegally.
They're going to come in the right way.
I mean, I get a kick out of it when they rip this guy for saying the obvious.
It's hilarious.
I didn't even see this.
Foreign nationals found at the southern border in 2022 and 2023. Afghans, 6,300.
12,000 Russians.
26,000 Chinese nationals.
538 Syrians.
Folks, that's a lot of people.
If even 1% of those people are bad guys, you're talking about hundreds of people looking to kill you in the United States right now.
But don't worry, the numbers have calmed down a lot.
Cue up the Fox segment where Bill Malugin says, thankfully, Biden seems yesterday to have gotten the border under control.
They had a really great day.
That clip, you know what I'm talking about?
He's like, I'm kind of confused.
I don't know.
He's signaling me.
He says, I have a Bill Malugin clip.
He's like, are you talking about this one?
So here's the one where Malugin's like, everything's under control at the southern border.
Biden's got this down.
Trump is crazy.
That clip.
Play the one you have.
The numbers are actually getting even worse.
Multiple CBP sources telling me this morning in the last 24 hours, Border Patrol alone has made more than 10,000 apprehensions of illegal immigrants.
That does not even include CBP ports of entry.
And you can see the situation here in Lukeville behind us.
We got well over 800 people Waiting in line here after they crossed illegally overnight, waiting to be apprehended by Border Patrol.
Once again, it's like deja vu from yesterday.
You can see these guys are coming in from all over the world.
A lot of African men, mostly single adult men here.
Some of them were setting campfires overnight in the cold, camping out here.
Waiting to get taken into custody by Border Patrol.
But CBP source is telling me in the last 24 hours in this Tucson, Arizona sector, there were almost 2,900 apprehensions and the Border Patrol facilities out here are currently running 200% of their capacity.
That is why there are so many people out here waiting to be taken into custody by Border Patrol.
Don't worry, folks.
Everything he said, that's not the one I have, Dan.
I've only got a video of Bill Malugin saying the apocalypse hit yesterday.
A record 12,000 people in one day.
I live in a county I think only has 30,000 people.
12,000 people in one day in the country illegally.
One day?
One day.
You do the math.
Imagine 10% of them are bad guys.
What's the number?
Quick.
Sounds like 1,200 of me.
I don't know.
Maybe my math is wrong.
I'm not Brian Williams and Mara Gay or whatever her name was.
They're all neurosurgeons.
They're all neurosurgeons and rocket scientists, I'm sure.
Every single one of them.
I'm sure a lot of people just come here to work.
But there's a process for that.
It's called the immigration process.
You should try it.
My wife did.
You know, that's how she got a really good job and stuff.
She was here, like, legally, so she could, you know, work and get a career.
Don't worry, though, guys.
John Kirby.
You know, John Kirby from the White House, the voice of reason.
He says, don't sweat it.
We've got this whole thing under control.
So, guys, don't sweat it.
Don't worry.
But Trump is crazy.
Biden's got this under control.
Listen to this.
Of course, look, if you're in this country illegally, that's obviously not okay.
Don't worry, folks.
Joe, calm down.
Joe's freaking out over there.
Kirby said it's not okay.
Chat guys, stop freaking out in the chat.
This guy's like, this is crazy.
Stop, you chatsters, you crazy chatsters.
No problem.
Kirby said it's okay.
No, he said it's not okay.
That's a bold signal to the rest of the world.
It's not okay to come here.
As you can see, they're all listening.
Doing a great job.
You guys are really knocking it out of the park in the White House.
Keep it up.
Keep it up.
Oh, I got a lot more.
Did you see the segment on Laura Ingraham the other night?
I'm sitting there.
I got this ugly recliner chair because we're moving soon.
I'm sitting in this thing.

Did you see this cut?
He talked about the bio lab in L.A. and those Chinese nationals you saw coming in.
Folks, I swear I was like this.
I'm sitting there.
And I'm like, what did he just say?
Did I not email you guys and say, pull that clip right away?
Listen to this shit coming up next.
Don't go anywhere.

So, as I said, sitting on this junky old recliner we're going to have to toss.
And I hear this on Laura Ingraham about some of these Chinese nationals that are coming into the country illegally, I might add, and a potential connection to that biolab, that illicit biolab they found in California.
I hadn't really thought about mice as vectors until I heard this little Gemma Ruski.
Check this out.
21,000 of those 24,000 Chinese nationals who crossed were single adults.
Gordon, what does that tell you?
Well, it tells me that these are saboteurs because they are coming in in packs of 5 to 15 of military age, traveling without family members, and pretending not to speak English.
And U.S. Border Patrol knows that some of them have links to the Chinese military.
You remember that lab in Reedley, California, that secret Chinese biological weapons facility that was discovered this spring?
Well, that had at least 20 pathogens by the official count.
It had almost 1,000 mice that had been genetically engineered to spread disease.
And I'm believing that some of these saboteurs were meant to actually take some of those mice and spread them around the United States.
Well, Gordon, the numbers shocked even yours truly, and I thought I had seen it all.
This is no coincidence.
There is something very, very disturbing going on.
You see, even Ingram, like, takes a second to, like, did he just say that?
The accusation there that our military knows some of these people may be connected to Chinese military assets, i.e.
the Chinese Communist Party, and their fighting age males being let into the country, who may very well be on the ground, involved in some potential bioweapons attack on the United States, Folks, I can't attest to the authenticity of that charge or not.
I can just tell you Gordon Chang, I know personally, is a freaking really smart guy.
Joe, remember we interviewed him at CPAC a couple years in a row, as a matter of fact.
He's not known as like some big hysteric who goes screaming and yelling all the time.
That sounds kind of crazy.
Folks, the threat's already here.
Even if one-tenth of what he said is just true.
Forget the mice thing for a second.
Well, that's bad enough.
Even if one-tenth of what he just said turns out to be true, that says to me, the enemy's already here.
We got a real problem, man.
And what's Christopher Wray and the FBI focusing on?
Anything but the real problem.
They're focusing on bullshit.
MAGA people, January 6th trespassers, pro-lifers, school board parents, priests, choir directors, and anybody but the actual threat.
Here's the FBI these days.
I don't see nothing.
This video I saw in the House Oversight Committee thing yesterday.
Folks, this is just disturbing.
I mean, really, almost as bad as the Gordon Chang mice thing.
You know, when you see this video with Christopher Wray's endless lies about targeting Catholics, superimposed upon what they actually did, the gravity of the situation, I think, hits you even worse.
Watch every second of this.
This is damning.
Check this out.
And the FBI that I see every single day and that I hear about from all of them is an FBI that does the right thing in the right way.
The FBI's Richmond Division released what they're calling an anti-Catholic memo, discussed investigating, quote, radical traditionalist Catholics.
It does not reflect FBI standards.
We do not conduct investigations based on religious affiliation or practices, full stop.
It was a product of A member of Congress from Ohio has issued a subpoena to FBI Director Christopher Wray.
We do not recruit, open, or operate confidential human sources to infiltrate, target, report.
That's not what this said.
It sounds like you were trying to do it in Richmond, Virginia.
No, sir.
No, sir.
Weren't?
This didn't happen?
You can assure us that this didn't happen?
That product did not, to the best we can tell, result in any investigative action as a resultant.
They were looking, the FBI and the Richmond Field Office was looking to put sources in churches, have informants in Catholic parishes.
Millions of Americans going to church.
Now, what if this FBI thing would have been carried out?
There would be people in the church spying on fellow parishioners.
Well, what I can tell you is you're referring to the Richmond product, which was a single product by a single field office, which, as soon as I found out about it, I was aghast and ordered it withdrawn and removed from the FBI system.
Director of the FBI may have lied under oath about the Bureau's January memo against so-called radical traditional Catholics.
New evidence shows the investigation did not originate solely in Richmond, Virginia's field office, as FBI Director Christopher Wray claimed.
You think you're safe?
You think you're safe?
It's a two-pronged question, by the way.
What do you mean a two-pronged question?
One, you think you're safe from...
Chinese nationals connected to the Chinese Communist Party potentially entering the country with malicious intent or Syrians or anyone else who came here illegally.
No, you're not.
At all.
Because the FBI is preoccupied investigating everybody but the real threat right now.
And second...
You think you're safe that they won't come knocking on your door?
Oh no, the FBI, you have constitutional protections.
Give me a break, folks.
We don't live in a constitutional republic anymore.
Get it through your heads.
I don't mean to sound like a dick.
Get it through your heads.
We can return it to that.
We can.
There is still time.
We are not in a full-blown police state, as Dinesh tells me all the time, or I wouldn't be able to talk about this stuff.
But let me tell you something.
We are that close.
We are that close to a knock on that door right outside there and a knock on yours next.
They are towing the waters of tyranny right now.
Oh, no, Dan.
I mean, disciplinary action's been taken.
They fired these people.
Oh, really?
Did they?
Let's cue up the videotape again because here is Christopher Wray asked that exact question by Josh Hawley.
Hey, did you fire anyone for targeting people for their religious beliefs?
Take a listen.
But I can tell you that we don't investigate people for their exercise of their constantly protected, constitutionally protected religious expression.
That particular intelligence product is something that as soon as I saw it, I was aghast.
I had it withdrawn.
You were aghast.
I was.
Oh, really?
Yes, sir.
And what have you done about it?
Did you fire the people who wrote it?
Have you fired anybody involved in it?
Senator, if you will give me a chance to answer your question.
That's a yes or a no.
It's not hard.
Have you fired anyone involved in the writing of that outrageous memo about which, frankly, you've repeatedly misled the public?
Yes or no?
The individuals involved in that product were not found to have engaged in any intentional or bad faith conduct.
And in fact, Senator, a number of the individuals involved...
A number of the individuals involved in writing that product in the Richmond office were themselves Catholic.
So the notion that they were targeting their own faith is nonsense.
So they had to get out of jail free card.
I see.
I see.
So you're immune and they're immune.
So we shouldn't ask questions about it.
You haven't done a darn thing.
You haven't fired anybody.
Oh, so just to be clear, I was unaware of this.
If you, in fact, say you're Catholic, you can go and violate people's rights.
Hey, Jim.
Jim on the radio, I know he listens.
He has this thing, constipation or something.
I don't know.
It's like some founding document or something.
Sounds like, well, Constitution, Jim's telling me in my ear.
Jim keeps a paper copy on his desk.
We have this First Amendment thing that prohibits the establishment of an official religion.
You can't be attacked legally using government for your religious beliefs.
I didn't realize there was an asterisk there.
Unless, in fact, you are a member of that religion.
Because that's never happened.
That's never happened.
Where Jews have hated other Jews or Catholics, other Catholics.
That's never happened.
Joe, there was a whole movement.
Protestants.
There's like a history of this stuff, correct?
Protestants, yes.
Yeah, call me crazy.
Christian, yeah, yeah.
You get a free pass.
It doesn't matter.
Catholic FBI agents, it's okay.
It's okay.
If you're Jewish or Muslim, it's okay too.
If you're a Muslim FBI agent, you can go violate someone's rights and go spy on them in a mosque too.
For no reason, just go right.
You're Muslim.
It doesn't matter.
I didn't know that, Christopher.
It's a car valve.
I was totally unaware of this.
Shame on me.
It was the radio show.
Unlike these guys, Jim would have been better prepared.
And he would have stopped me, unlike these two guys.
They didn't stop me.
Dan, there's an asterisk to that.
How the hell did you miss that?
Paying these guys for nothing.
Some guy in the chat said, Key must be a great job being able to, you know, go after Dan all the time.
They did a great job.
But they did fail today.
They didn't tell me there was an asterisk to the First Amendment.
You can attack people for their religion legally as long as you say you're a member of that group.
I didn't know.
I was totally unaware of that.
Freaking failed.
Guys, totally failed.
Folks, by the way, if you think they're going to let Trump win without the FBI pulling the same bullshit they've been up to, the spying, the targeting of Americans, you are out of your freaking mind.
Why do you think all of these people right now are piling on Elon and you're hearing all this stuff about censorship?
You think this is an accident?
I want to play for you a cut that is so indicative of where the left is.
I want to tell you something.
There's a reason this was said the way it was said.
It's a cut by Al Gore.
Al Gore, climate hysteric, global warming fraudster, right?
Al Gore still claims he's the president despite the fact he was never ahead on a single vote count in Florida.
And I'm not even a Bush guy, but that's just a fairy tale.
Al Gore is realizing that the global warming hysteria is just not working anymore.
They're about to take it to the next level, folks.
They're comparing now global warming hysteria and Algorithmic discrimination to violence using gun and violence analogies.
This is for a reason.
I want you to listen to this.
None of these words are by accident.
Listen very carefully.
Check this out.
These algorithms, they are the digital equivalent of AR-15s.
They ought to be banned.
They really ought to be banned.
It's an abuse of the public forum.
But when people are pulled down these rabbit holes, you know what's at the bottom of the rabbit hole?
That's where the echo chamber is.
And if you spend too much time in the echo chamber, what's weaponized is another form of AI, not artificial intelligence, artificial insanity.
I'm serious.
I'm serious.
Excellent point by Armacost, who just saved himself after not reminding me about the asterisk on the First Amendment, because he was about to get canned, like right here on the spot.
He's like, Dan, I don't know about you, but this sounds like revolutionary talk.
Yeah, bingo, you're damn right it does.
Now, just to be clear, if a social media company doesn't tell the government how they're curating their videos or their microblogs, then they're essentially committing violence.
This is AR digital, AR-15s.
Ladies and gentlemen, the language in the comparison to violence is not by accident.
This is what they're going to use.
These, you're causing violence with your algorithms and analogies to keep up the censorship and stay on Elon and Rumble and Truth and anyone else that doesn't toe the line.
They are going to use this to interfere in the election.
That's the point of this.
I'm sorry if I didn't sum that up.
They are going, let me just, bottom line up front.
They are going to censor to interfere in this election.
100%.
Here, I can prove it to you.
I want you to watch this.
It's a two-part clip, but this is super important.
They're gonna use the violence analogy and they're just gonna plead ignorance.
Here is one of the lead officials at the Biden Department of Justice, Kristen Clark.
She's not stupid.
A lot of people laughed at this clip going, what an idiot.
This lady doesn't know what Missouri v.
Biden is?
Missouri v.
Biden is the biggest Supreme Court case in the country right now.
The case that's going to head up to that.
It's in that whole process right now, right?
It's about the government censoring people through third parties.
It's going to be a disaster for censorship.
Kristen Clark absolutely knows this case.
Here, watch her play stupid with Congressman Dan Bishop, who's stunned that she's pleading ignorance because she doesn't want to be on the record.
Why?
Because they're going to censor and just pretend this case never happened.
This is really, really important.
Watch this.
Is any criminal investigation or prosecution of the persons responsible for that activity in the FBI, CISA, and at the White House and their co-conspirators underway in the Civil Rights Division?
Congressman, I'm not familiar with this litigation, but happy to bring your question back.
Thank you.
So let me just make sure I understand that.
You are not aware of the Missouri versus Biden litigation that is currently being taken up by the United States Supreme Court.
Is that correct?
Unfortunately, I'm not, Congressman.
What?
The WTF over?
Missouri versus Biden is the biggest free speech case of our time.
Long and short of it, if we win it, it is going to completely destroy the government censorship complex.
The fact checkers, all the losers out there that are working with government as deputies to censor you.
She does not want to go on the record and talk about it before the election.
Why?
Because they're going to give you the middle finger and censor anyway.
She's like, oh, I don't know anything about it.
Now, Jim Jordan, who's a good dude, Jordan totally caught what she was doing.
Here's part two.
Jordan, this is later in the hearing.
He's like, wait, wait, wait.
Before we do anything else, I want to just be sure you are the big muckety-muck in the DOJ on these specific matters who have no idea what this case is?
Watch this.
I'm like, I think, every member, at least on this side, but I would think every member, anyone watching, is just astounded that you are not familiar.
The Assistant Attorney General for the Division of Civil Rights at the Justice Department is not familiar with a huge case, Missouri v.
Biden, where in that case, I think it was six different federal agencies were found to be guilty of violating the First Amendment liberties of Americans, HHS, NYAD, FBI, DOJ, DHS, even the White House itself, and you are not familiar with that, is truly...
I think that's why the gentleman had time to yield back.
I don't know what we say.
It's in front of the Supreme Court and the head of Civil Rights Division doesn't know.
If that doesn't in and of itself show that this Justice Department is political and doing things for political reasons, I do not know what does.
Folks, listen.
I don't know a lot of guys.
And again, I don't worship politicians.
I respect outcomes for the 10,000th time.
However, I know Jim Jordan reasonably wise.
One of the few guys I actually have a personal relationship with.
Jordan is brutally honest.
From the first time I met him when I was trying to get his endorsement when I was running for Senate in Maryland, he's brutally honest.
He knows exactly what's going on here.
The lady is full of shit.
She knows what Missouri v.
Biden is.
She just doesn't want to say it because she doesn't want to be on the record when they censor She doesn't want to be on the record in a congressional hearing acknowledging they shouldn't be censoring people.
You get what's going on?
So that way when they censor you in the election and try to interfere in the coming election, this coming year, she can be like, oh man, I told you I didn't know.
I didn't know about the case.
And of course the media will say nothing about it.
It's amazing what you can get away with on the left.
I hate to...
I'm going to end with two quicks, but these are good ones.
Again, showing you the rank stupidity combined with the no emergency brake problem on the left.
Here's AOC, who's genuinely dumb.
Kristen Clarke's not stupid.
I promise you she knows Missouri v.
Biden.
AOC's really dumb.
Somebody stuck this talking point in front of her in a hearing about men competing in women's sports.
So, of course, that's not a good thing.
You want women competing against women and men against men.
That's probably the fair thing to do, right, if you're a sane person.
So AOC has a big issue with this.
So AOC is like asking this other lady, hey, are we going to be involved in genital checks?
Genital checks.
As if there's no other way, like a birth certificate, to figure out if you're a man or a woman.
Listen to this shit yourself.
Check this out.
Under the guise of not only trying to further marginalize trans women and girls, we are talking about opening up all women and girls to genital examinations when they are under age.
That's right.
Potentially just because someone can point to someone and say, I don't think you're a girl.
Hey mom!
The meatloaf!
You realize how stupid liberals are?
You know how dumb you have to be to believe this?
So, Guy, just so we're clear, what AOC said to you, you're on the soccer field, right?
And a parent from the stands, that's a boy!
That's a boy, okay!
Wait, double, definitely a boy!
Drop your draws, buddy!
Too many penises on the field.
Under the hood for review.
It is in fact a penis.
Yes, it is.
Can you believe this?
This is what passes.
This is what really, you know, there's a really easy way to determine if someone's a man or a woman.
It's called a birth certificate.
You can just look at it.
It's not hard.
I can't get over how dumb these people are.
Wait, one more.
I want to end with this because, again, this is all going to impact the next election.
I still think we got a really good shot to win this thing.
Yes, there's going to be cheating.
There's always cheating.
We have to overcome it.
I don't know what else to tell you.
I mean, we got to win, folks.
We lose this country.
Christopher Wray and them are going to go crazy.
You're going to get a knock on your door.
But here's how hilarious these people are.
Here's Newsweek.
Khalida Rahman.
Donald Trump's proposal to monitor voters sparks concerns.
So I'm reading this.
It came out on Monday.
And I'm like, gosh, this is Donald Trump's proposal to monitor voters?
What this entire article is about?
Basically, people in public spaces monitoring drop boxes that Democrats want.
So it's okay for Democrats to engage in kind of mass voter fraud and hide it and claim every election they don't win is stolen.
But if Republicans in public spaces dare to record in a public space, not violating anybody's rights, a box for unusual activity, this is a dangerous proposal to monitor voters.
That sparks concerns.
No, it doesn't spark concerns.
I want you to think about why.
If this system of Dropboxes is so legitimate and on the up and up, then why is it that most of the Dropboxes have cameras there or are supposed to anyway?
Oh, they don't work most of the time.
I acknowledge that.
But why was that written in?
Because if there's nothing wrong, you should be able to record the Dropbox.
Notice how it sparks concerns only when it's Donald Trump and Republicans.
These people are full of shit, folks.
They're full of crap.
They want to cheat.
And again, as I said in the beginning of the show, with Vivek and the replacement theory, they're only mad that you noticed.
That's it.
They're only mad that you notice this stuff.
That's the only thing.
Hey, thank you so much.
I really appreciate you tuning in, folks.
