Get ready to hear the truth about

0:04

America on a show that's not immune

0:07

to the facts with your host Dan

0:09

Bongino.

0:12

Oh my, oh

0:14

my, we have another stacked

0:16

loaded news day today. The video

0:18

that I think is going to shake up the

0:21

media ecosystem

0:22

caught me by surprise as well

0:24

last night at 8 o'clock, 8pm.

0:27

We're going to get to that. Big

0:29

announcement too, Joe, I don't know if you know this, but McGroin

0:32

is back. Holden McGroin, welcome to the chat. We

0:34

see you there. Holden wants to run

0:36

with me in 2028. We'll see.

0:39

I'd like to hold my own grind,

0:42

but if you're holding McGroin too,

0:44

it's kind of a McGroin, it's a McGroin

0:47

conflict, isn't it?

0:49

This show is already degenerated into

0:52

madness. I got some economic

0:54

news. I've got Kamala Harris

0:56

playing Jenny from the block again. POTUS

0:59

getting lost again. A lot of stuff

1:01

to talk about. Please don't go anywhere. Again,

1:04

loaded show today. Thanks everyone who joined us. Folks,

1:12

is an absolutely fantastic outlet

1:14

here.

1:15

Leftist propaganda, endless pronouns, critical

1:17

race theory, sexually explicit books accessible

1:19

to minors and more. The public education system

1:22

is a disaster. It's so bad

1:24

colleges have been dumbing down their courses for years

1:27

to accommodate the average incoming freshman who can

1:29

barely read or write at a seventh grade

1:31

level.

1:32

That's what I want to tell you about my friends at Freedom Project

1:35

2:23

Check them out, great outlet over there. We really

2:26

love them. All right, Joseph, episode 2000,

2:27

my friend.

2:29

Welcome

2:31

everyone to the Dan Bongino Show

2:33

episode 2000. Yes, yes.

2:36

Gosh, we've been together a long time, Joe. How

2:38

about that, bro? You know, I feel like

2:40

that's quite a sense of accomplishment, and we

2:42

have to thank the people responsible, Joe. Yes,

2:44

yes. And it's not us, it's the audience. You got it. I

2:47

was gonna put on a show no matter what, but if you all didn't

2:49

listen, we wouldn't have 2,000 episodes. We

2:52

wouldn't have even had 20. Joe was with

2:54

me from the beginning. Joe worked for

2:56

no salary. I didn't make any money.

2:58

We did it as a passionate kind of work of activism.

3:01

It caught on. You all made it, you

3:03

know, made it happen. And I

3:05

want you to, just a hat tip to Joe.

3:08

Of course, the G2 joined us later, but

3:11

Joe was the lone ranger man in the beginning. Me,

3:13

him, and a basement, and some moving blankets,

3:15

and a RE20 microphone in Sierona

3:18

Park. That's how it all started. So thank

3:20

you all. And I was a little horrified

3:22

to know that Joe

3:23

was unfamiliar with the Conan O'Brien

3:25

skid. You know, year 2000.

3:29

Joe did not know about that. If

3:31

you've never seen it, give it a look. We

3:34

should call it in the episode, 2000. But

3:36

let me get to this first, because we got a lot of material

3:38

to get to. Kamala, Kamala

3:41

did it again. Kamala, what is with

3:43

the Democrats

3:45

and this fascination with talking

3:48

down to black voters and

3:50

minority voters and pretending to be

3:52

like Jenny from the block?

3:54

Can you just talk

3:56

like you always talk? Do you

3:59

have the constant? It didn't be fake. Like,

4:01

look at me, man, I'm down. AOC

4:04

did it, Joe Biden, put your back

4:06

in change. AOC, what was she like?

4:08

Listen, listen, just

4:11

talk like you normally talk.

4:14

I get it, you're insecure. I get it,

4:16

you're a loser. I understand that. So

4:18

does everyone else. But you look like an even

4:20

bigger loser when you pretend you're not a

4:23

loser by talking down to people,

4:25

pretending they're losers.

4:27

Here's Kamala Harris yesterday. Yo, we

4:29

ain't playing, trying to be Jenny from the block.

4:31

Check this out. And

4:32

so don't get in our way, because if you

4:34

do, we're gonna stand up and we're gonna organize

4:37

and we're gonna speak up and we're gonna say,

4:39

we're not having that, we're not playing

4:42

that. Oh my gosh.

4:44

Will you please

4:45

stop this insanity?

4:48

Please. I'm sorry I started

4:50

with this today on a down note, but

4:53

this, you have no idea how much

4:55

this infuriates me. I was a city

4:57

kid. I actually grew up in

4:59

New York City. Okay. Grew

5:01

up in an okay area, not

5:03

the best spot in town, not the worst,

5:06

but there were a lot of bad people over there. I

5:08

don't feel that you need to, hey, look at these biceps.

5:11

Let me flex. Yo bro, let me just, just

5:14

be normal.

5:15

Stop with the

5:17

Jenny from the block routine. It

5:19

is so pathetic. Well,

5:22

I'm playing. We get it. You're

5:25

not playing. We get

5:27

it. We get it. Freaking

5:30

insulting. Oh my

5:32

gosh, dude. Please,

5:36

please just stop.

5:39

I'm gonna start talking to people in Boston like, hey wicked

5:41

smart, Dan, you don't talk like that.

5:43

Yeah, but I'm in Boston. Yeah, but you sound like a moron.

5:46

Do I?

5:49

Just stop. Just stop.

5:53

I shouldn't have started here. Big mistake. I'm

5:56

sorry folks. Horrible mistake. The

6:00

door's open. It's like the mask thing

6:02

that drives key crazy. Because when I get into

6:04

masks, I just, this

6:08

stuff drives me freaking bananas.

6:11

All right, it gets even worse with the POTUS. He never

6:13

has any idea, President of the United States. He never

6:16

has any idea where he is. I want to just hit

6:18

on this for a second because something happened

6:20

yesterday with the press. And I'm not sure which

6:22

story is worse.

6:23

The fact that the President of the United States,

6:26

Biden, got a question in advance

6:28

from a reporter, which is a major

6:30

league no-no in the media,

6:33

or that he didn't get the question in advance

6:35

and yet already knew what the reporter

6:38

was going to ask. I'm not sure which

6:40

one is worse. But before we get to that, you

6:43

think Kamala's a problem? Here's the top

6:45

of the ticket, the rotting bag of oatmeal

6:48

in the White House. Biden never

6:50

knows what he's doing or

6:52

where he's going. Here he is at the end of

6:54

a press conference with the President of South Korea

6:57

for the thousandth time. There's

7:00

a freaking red carpet in front of you.

7:02

Guy, have you ever been President of the United States?

7:06

No, you haven't, stop it. Do you ever? No,

7:08

Joe, you? Never, right? No, never. Let

7:11

me ask you something. Tomorrow they say Armacost,

7:13

Guy Cohen, whatever. We need you guys. Here,

7:16

you're going to fill in. You're going to be President for the day. If

7:18

you're at the end of the speech and there's a carpet

7:20

in red in front of you, do you walk down the red

7:22

carpet or do you go the other direction? You

7:25

walk down the freaking red, that's why it's

7:27

red. That's why. Just go down the red carpet.

7:29

It's right there, bro.

7:31

I gotta calm down. Anyone got

7:33

a Xanax or something for this show? I'm

7:35

just, walk on the freaking red

7:37

carpet. It's red,

7:40

you idiot. It's

7:42

freaking red here. It's

7:44

a red carpet. This

7:51

isn't hard. The Secret

7:54

Service and the stamp, not only that,

7:56

putting a freaking red carpet, they

7:58

tell him before the...

7:59

8:43

deutschland their says in the chat were in fine

8:45

form a doily under my man

8:48

or woman whatever i don't know i'm sorry i

8:51

i just can't

8:53

believe we are a nuclear powered

8:57

but we are the mushroom guess known

8:59

9:03

9:06

9:11

9:26

9:28

english is a he's like dude

9:30

to read corporate just

9:33

walk on his

9:36

oh my gosh they're

9:38

briefed on this and i've said

9:41

before trying to

9:43

you i'm sorry

9:45

barrel yelena i've

9:49

done this for years okay i don't have a

9:51

lot of expertise and a thousand things

9:53

but i do have expertise and something they

9:55

give him and every president

9:57

such as him so i had some of the store

10:00

and I'll show you what I mean in a minute.

10:02

They were like, oh, he's giving instructions what to do.

10:04

I've told you because I'm fair and

10:06

I care about facts, even when it involves these idiots.

10:09

Every president gets at, walk

10:11

to podium, give remarks, walk

10:14

right to left. That's not unusual. What's

10:17

unusual is they give them the damn instructions

10:19

and this idiot still doesn't know what to do with

10:23

a red carpet in front of him.

10:26

Here's what happened yesterday. It's a big, the

10:29

bigger scandal in the whole thing.

10:31

Biden, of course, because he's a rotting bag of

10:33

oatmeal. He gets this cheat sheet, okay? Fox

10:36

covered it at their website. Biden caught with

10:38

crib notes detailing a reporter's question

10:40

prior to calling on her during the press conference.

10:42

So it was a crib sheet on there and it had

10:44

an LA Times reporter and

10:47

her photo and it had the question. Now,

10:49

the question she asked was not word

10:51

for word,

10:52

but it was definitely along that vein.

10:55

So now the question

10:57

becomes, whereas I just admitted

10:59

to you, put up the next story that this stuff, the Roosevelt

11:01

Room story,

11:02

this was a story up at Fox

11:05

a while ago

11:06

that Biden held up a note and said, you enter

11:08

the Roosevelt Room, you take your seat. It's

11:10

a story, I get it. I'm not like knocking anyone,

11:12

but it's only a story because he showed the note. Every

11:15

president gets that, okay? So I'm gonna give you the fair

11:17

take.

11:18

This is not unusual. Don't

11:19

be, to hit Biden

11:22

for that is unfair because Trump got this, they all

11:24

get the same thing, right?

11:25

This thing, however, go back to the last one.

11:28

This is unheard of.

11:29

I've been the press agent. I worked in the White

11:31

House for five years. You do not get

11:34

questions from the reporters in advance.

11:37

That is a major league no-no.

11:40

Why?

11:41

I mean, just think about why. Because

11:43

if you're screening questions

11:46

in advance,

11:47

then the people who are asking questions, it

11:49

makes the White House uncomfortable, which is,

11:51

by the way, the sole freaking

11:54

purpose of the media.

11:55

Are you gonna take those questions, Joe? No.

11:59

because you know the questions in advance. You're going

12:02

to call on Joey Begga Donuts who asks

12:04

you, hey, we heard you're really wonderful.

12:06

Can you tell us how wonderful on a 1 to 10

12:09

scale? Is it an eight or nine? Joey, that's

12:11

a great question. I'll answer that. It's a 9.7, sir, with

12:13

a little bit of room for

12:15

improvement.

12:17

He clearly got the question in

12:20

advance. Now, the

12:24

LA times to give you all sides, these

12:26

people say, no, we didn't submit this stuff

12:28

in advance. Honestly, folks, I'm

12:30

not sure which story is worse right now.

12:33

I'm not sure. I'm really not.

12:36

If the question was given to him in advance,

12:39

we now have a state run media.

12:41

If the question was not given to him

12:43

in advance, which is a possibility,

12:45

then you should be asking yourself, isn't that even

12:47

worse that the White House

12:49

works with these media people so symbiotically

12:52

that they magically predicted who was going

12:54

to ask what? She asks almost

12:57

the exact same question from the outlet

12:59

and gets called on first.

13:01

I'm serious. Which one's worse, fellas? Which

13:03

one's worse? That they're so

13:06

connected at the hip that the White House

13:08

can predict what's going to happen

13:10

or that they screened it in advance.

13:13

I don't know. I don't know which one's worse.

13:16

By the way, hat tip David Marcus on Twitter

13:19

for that exact question.

13:21

He posed that. And I read that and I thought this

13:23

is an excellent point. Equally so. They

13:31

both suck. Both of them. Now,

13:33

of course, leave it to CNN. They

13:36

entirely humiliate themselves, as always.

13:38

Of course, instead of calling them out and saying, hey,

13:41

listen,

13:42

we're obviously leftist goons at CNN.

13:45

We're hacks. We're losers. We're activists. But

13:47

we are still media. We shouldn't be screening

13:49

our questions in advance because the White House isn't going to

13:51

pick the tough ones. That's not where CNN went.

13:54

Where did they go? They went with Republicans

13:56

pounce, of course, because that's just mandatory

13:59

that they do that.

13:59

Listen to this clown show right here where

14:02

they're like, hey, Republicans pounced

14:04

on this one. Check this out.

14:06

There was also a moment in that press conference

14:08

where a photographer captured the

14:10

notes that President Biden was holding in

14:12

his hand. And there appeared to be one

14:14

with the reporter that he was going to call on, the first

14:16

reporter he called on during that press

14:18

conference. And now there are allegations about whether

14:20

or not he had the question in advance.

14:23

What is the White House saying about what happened here?

14:25

Well,

14:26

Caitlin, it's not uncommon for the

14:28

White House to prepare these types of briefing materials

14:30

for the president, but it's the level of

14:32

specificity that is in the spotlight

14:35

in this moment. As you noted, that note

14:37

card included the name and photo of

14:39

a reporter and also a possible

14:41

question. Now it's worth noting that

14:44

her question was not identical

14:46

to what was on that note card. And her

14:49

outlet says that they did not submit

14:51

any questions to the White House ahead of this press

14:53

conference. But we have seen the president

14:56

in the past carrying around these note

14:58

cards with details about the events,

15:00

where he needs to go, the people that he's meeting

15:02

with. Now, these types of moments are

15:05

things that Republicans have seized on, especially

15:07

as they have tried to highlight President

15:09

Biden's age.

15:10

Again, the story is never

15:13

about the fact that the White House appears to be

15:15

screening questions or,

15:18

again,

15:18

to give you both sides, or is able to almost

15:21

perfectly predict them.

15:22

Either one's bad,

15:24

either one's bad. That's not the story.

15:27

CNN has to make the story, of course, about

15:29

the Republican reaction to it, not

15:31

the fact that it's a huge scandal, which

15:34

it is.

15:36

Unbelievable, these ass-kissing

15:38

losers in the media.

15:40

Producer

15:40

Jim from the radio shows is like, bro, bro,

15:43

take it easy. A lot of energy today. You got three hours.

15:45

I am good. I'm good. I'm good for eight hours

15:47

today. I woke up this morning on freaking fire

15:50

for this. I can't believe it. We are right now

15:52

with this whole media thing.

15:53

All right. I want to move on. Because last night

15:56

I'm scrolling around the media dial at 8

15:59

PM. seeing what's on,

16:02

trying to spec out all the competition

16:04

now that APM has opened up over

16:06

at Fox to see what's going on. And boom,

16:09

the internet melts down yesterday. I mean

16:12

the entire internet.

16:14

Tucker Carlson, who

16:16

looks like he's gonna be fighting back.

16:18

You know, I like

16:20

Tucker a lot. Tucker

16:23

appeared on Twitter

16:25

last night at eight

16:27

o'clock.

16:29

And he launched a video that, relax

16:32

him lady time, I'm telling you, I'm

16:35

telling you is going to change

16:37

the media ecosystem if it's not already

16:39

changed. Folks,

16:41

I said to you the other day on my show that there is

16:43

a very small group of people on planet earth

16:47

who can be agnostic of the platform.

16:50

In other words, people will follow them

16:52

because they make news, they don't cover

16:54

news. The

16:56

Howard Stearns, the Rush Limbaughs

16:58

of the day,

17:00

Tucker, there are others out there too. There's

17:03

a, but there's just a small group.

17:06

Radio hosts, there's

17:08

a small group out there. They

17:10

are agnostic of the platform. I

17:13

said that to you the other day and now I've got

17:15

the data to back it up. Now granted, to

17:18

be clear, it's a small sample size. It's

17:20

one video. But ladies and gentlemen, if

17:22

it's any indicator, you will see, I'm

17:25

right,

17:26

that the monopolistic platform

17:28

days where you had to be here or here or here or

17:30

over, people can follow you anywhere,

17:33

Rumble, Twitter, all over the place.

17:36

Here's what I mean. This is just the last minute

17:38

and pay very close attention to the end

17:41

of Tucker's first statement,

17:43

first official statement. I mean, he spoke in the,

17:45

he had a couple of jokes with the press. On

17:47

Twitter last night, this is the last

17:49

minute of what he had to say and I want you to pay close,

17:52

very close attention to the

17:54

last sentence he utters

17:56

before he goes off of

17:58

this Twitter feed last night. Both

18:01

political parties and their donors have

18:03

reached consensus on what benefits them

18:06

and they actively collude to shut down

18:08

any conversation about it. Suddenly,

18:10

the United States looks very much like a one-party

18:13

state. That's a depressing

18:15

realization, but it's not permanent.

18:18

Our current orthodoxies won't

18:20

last. They're brain dead. Nobody

18:23

actually believes them.

18:24

Hardly anyone's life is improved

18:27

by them. This moment is too inherently

18:29

ridiculous to continue, and so

18:31

it won't. The people in charge

18:33

know this. That's why they're hysterical and aggressive.

18:36

They're afraid. They've given up persuasion.

18:39

They're resorting to force. But

18:41

it won't work. When honest people

18:44

say what's true calmly and

18:46

without embarrassment, they become powerful.

18:49

At the same time, the liars who've been trying

18:51

to silence them shrink, and

18:53

they become weaker. That's the iron

18:56

law of the universe. True things prevail.

18:59

Where can you still find Americans saying true

19:01

things? There aren't many places left,

19:04

but there are some, and that's enough.

19:06

As long as you can hear the words, there is

19:08

hope. See you soon. See

19:11

you soon. As

19:14

long as you can hear the words, there's

19:16

hope. The

19:18

world's different now, folks. Your

19:21

ability to, quote, hear the words

19:24

on multiple platforms is

19:27

as large as it's ever been in human history. You used

19:30

to have to watch it on the ABC, NBC,

19:32

or CBS Nightly News. Joe

19:34

remembers those days, or if you didn't read about it in the Washington

19:37

Post, the New York Post, or the New

19:39

York Times. Ladies and gentlemen,

19:41

it didn't happen. The days of

19:43

those people monopolistically controlling

19:46

the information stream that reaches your eyeballs

19:49

and your ears are over.

19:53

Even Mediaite, a left-wing outlet,

19:55

had to address this fact.

19:57

Views of Tucker Carlson video posted

19:59

on Wednesday surprise.

19:59

surpassed viewers of old Fox time slot in less

20:02

than an hour. Charlie Nash Media.

20:05

It's in my newsletter today, if you want to read it yourself. Surpassed

20:09

it.

20:10

Folks, that video's at 12 million views.

20:14

That's at 12 million views. Nobody's

20:17

doing 12 million views at eight o'clock anywhere.

20:19

It's

20:22

not just that.

20:23

Media landscape was an earthquake

20:26

last night with this video. It's not the

20:28

beginning. I don't want to act like it was

20:30

an acute moment in time. It's been kind

20:32

of a chronic for old school

20:35

legacy media, chronic drip,

20:37

but it's happening.

20:39

The diversification of the media landscape

20:41

is here right now and you're living through it. Let

20:43

me get to my next sponsor first. I want to show you another fascinating

20:46

story

20:47

about what happened with another channel.

20:49

Then I want to show you something that's happening

20:51

on Rumble right now.

20:53

I got a lot more ahead, including

20:55

how bad this is starting to work out for the left-wingers

20:58

now. They thought they controlled this stuff. The

21:00

days of control are over. Start mail,

21:02

start mail with a T. Startmail.com

21:05

slash Bongino.

21:06

Now what is it? Well, every day millions of people share sensitive

21:08

information over email without realizing

21:10

they're at risk of being spied on or hacked because

21:13

sending a regular email is like sending a postcard.

21:15

Anyone can read it.

21:16

Cyber criminals, companies, the government, you name it.

21:18

If you're like me, you value your privacy

21:20

and your security. You

21:23

don't want anyone else reading your private conversations. That's why

21:25

you need start mail. Again, like start finish.

22:17

right, back to the story.

22:18

That video is an earthquake,

22:21

man. It is an earthquake.

22:23

Even mediaites starting to recognize

22:25

right now that platforms, you can, there

22:27

are some people out there powerful enough to

22:30

breach the platform monopoly.

22:32

And I got news for you. As those

22:34

people go out there and bring attention for the

22:36

different ways, I'll show you what I mean

22:38

in a minute,

22:39

different ways for you to consume content,

22:42

the one button problem is gonna be solved. Stay

22:44

tuned, I know that's a lot.

22:46

Another article in the Washington Times, Newsmax

22:49

reports a surge in viewers after Tucker Carlson's

22:51

exit from Fox News. We'll see what

22:53

happens. That happened after Arizona too. A

22:55

lot of people came back to Fox, but

22:57

it looks like they've had a surge. 531,000 viewers

23:00

at eight o'clock is not small potatoes.

23:03

Ladies and gentlemen, Guy and Joe and I follow

23:05

the cable news environment.

23:07

Like I said, anyone who tells you you're not into ratings is

23:09

lying to you if you don't, then get out of the business. It's

23:11

like being a car salesman and saying you're not into selling

23:14

cars.

23:14

Am I into ratings? Yeah, because I'm into

23:16

success, like that matters. I follow

23:19

this, 531,000, you

23:20

can see it right there. That's

23:22

a big number, man. That's a big number.

23:25

So we'll see if they can stick it out with that. I

23:28

just wanna show you as well. Again, I'm just trying to

23:30

make the point here, not about Newsmax or any one

23:32

specific place, even mine,

23:34

but that you can be

23:36

platform agnostic here. Your content

23:38

can be in multiple different places. You're not limited

23:40

to one avenue,

23:42

ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC,

23:44

Fox, anything. If you have good content,

23:47

people have multiple ways to see you now.

23:49

Here, look at these numbers.

23:52

Some important news. When I announced that

23:54

we were separating Fox and I,

23:56

the Dan Bongino show, 1.77 million.

23:58

people

24:00

watch that. Folks,

24:02

my launch on Fox was only 1.7 million

24:05

people. That's a huge number.

24:07

By the way, as Joe can tell you, because he's Joe

24:09

is Audio Geese video.

24:11

That's just the video number.

24:13

The audio number was a million too.

24:16

So folks, you're talking about close to 3

24:19

million people. It doesn't count Facebook or anything

24:21

else. I'm not knocking anyone. I'm just telling

24:23

you again that you have multiple opportunities.

24:26

The monopolistic platform days

24:28

are over. The problem is

24:31

the one button problem.

24:33

A lot of folks,

24:34

you know, 40 and older like me, we're

24:37

not really that tech savvy. You may be,

24:39

I'm not. I rely on Paula for all that stuff.

24:41

Okay. I don't know how to, you know, I know I

24:43

could figure out apps and stuff like that, but I'm,

24:46

I'm not being self-deprecating for the, for the

24:48

hell of it. I'm doing it because it's true.

24:51

I like to hit a button, a power button and have

24:53

my content on the TV. However, when

24:55

you figure out how easy it is to just zip

24:57

through a few buttons on an app,

24:59

it becomes like second nature. The kids are

25:01

used to it.

25:02

I saw this, on social media,

25:04

it was some kind of crazy name to count, but

25:07

walked my aunt through getting rumble on her TV.

25:09

It took a minute, but she's thrilled now to

25:11

see people like Dan Bongino and Steven Crowder.

25:14

That's out there and it's a funny name. I

25:16

guess that's why I put it out, but I

25:18

see a bunch. I get these all the time.

25:20

Showed my mom, showed my dad how to get

25:23

you on rumble, on apps, on the TV,

25:25

on the computer, how to sling it. And

25:27

once they figure it out, you,

25:29

it's open season,

25:31

man.

25:32

It's open season.

25:34

This new media ecosystem on

25:36

rumble and Twitter and elsewhere,

25:38

it's going to transform the country, folks. It's

25:41

going to take a little bit of time, but the monopoly

25:43

on information is over. There

25:46

is no more ABC,

25:48

NBC, CBS cable news monopoly

25:50

on information. There just isn't. A lot of

25:52

these cable news companies are going to adopt. They're

25:54

going to find apps. They're going to find SVOD.

25:57

They'll be fine.

25:58

But the monopoly on the cable

25:59

channel and the television box

26:02

through your cable box and bunny ears is

26:04

dead. It's over, man. I

26:07

want to show you an example of what I mean by this.

26:09

How the the monopolies on the flow

26:12

of information are gonna absolutely destroy

26:14

the left.

26:15

So this happened yesterday. Randy Weingarten,

26:18

one of the

26:18

top ten most dangerous people in the country

26:21

for your kids future, right? Randy Weingarten,

26:23

who will do, she is one of the, ahead of one of the largest

26:25

teachers unions in the United States,

26:27

was

26:28

absolutely pushing to keep your

26:30

kids out of school for the longest time.

26:32

Now that that is blowing up in her faces,

26:35

furious parents revolt around the country,

26:37

school board elections, governor's elections, and they're

26:40

pissed off about their kids being depressed. Weingarten

26:42

is trying to change history.

26:44

So she's trying to use the Fred Siegel tryout

26:46

I talk about in his book, Revolting Against the Masses,

26:48

how when the Democrats want to get a message out, they

26:51

use congressional committees,

26:53

activist groups like the Teachers Union, and

26:55

the media.

26:56

Well, while they still have those two, congressional

26:59

committees and activist groups like the Teachers

27:01

Unions, they don't own the media anymore. So

27:03

I want to play the clip and I'll show you what I mean. Here she

27:05

is yesterday, absolutely gaslighting everyone

27:08

that she somehow wanted schools open, which is

27:10

total bull, and you know it. Check

27:12

this out. We

27:13

spent every day from

27:16

February on trying

27:19

to get schools open. We knew that

27:21

remote education was not a substitute

27:24

for opening schools, but we also knew

27:26

that people had to be safe. And maybe

27:28

it's because I live in New York

27:31

City, I live

27:32

near a hospital, every

27:34

other minute there was an ambulance.

27:37

There was terror. Our members

27:40

were terrified, others were terrified,

27:42

and what we were simply looking

27:44

for was clear scientific

27:47

guidance. And when we couldn't get

27:50

it, we did it ourselves and

27:52

we worked with doctors and

27:54

we worked at others and we just

27:56

tried to get it out there.

27:58

Okay, that's some tier one level. a bull

28:01

right there. They

28:04

don't own the media anymore. Twitter

28:07

is a major source of journalists

28:09

information.

28:10

Hell, I use it sometimes

28:12

for show prep.

28:15

Community note strikes back again.

28:17

Community notes, if you're not on Twitter, is a feature

28:19

where the Twitter community can fact check. This

28:22

was attached to Randy Weingarten's statement

28:24

by the Twitter community. Weingarten

28:26

is misrepresenting her prior

28:28

positions.

28:29

She called attempts to reopen schools in the fall

28:31

of 2020 quote, reckless, callous, and

28:33

cruel. And look at all them links. Look

28:36

at that. Look, you can read the articles

28:38

yourself. So weird. It's like she's

28:40

full of crap because, uh, because

28:42

she is.

28:43

They don't own the media ecosystem anymore,

28:46

man.

28:47

They don't own it.

28:50

Tucker showed you last night what's possible.

28:52

Community note shows you today.

28:54

And to show you how they try to fight back, here's

28:57

the left trying the triad again.

28:59

The triad of

29:02

congressional committees. I was going to say communists.

29:04

I mean, congressional committees, the

29:06

media and activist groups really is kind of a Freudian

29:08

slip, but not right. Here's Jamie

29:10

Raskin, radical leftist from Joe's state

29:12

of Maryland, right? Just a lunatic. Here's

29:15

Jamie Raskin trying to, again, gaslight

29:17

America that Randy Weingarten wanted to open schools,

29:20

even though she's clearly, clearly

29:22

lying.

29:23

Here's Raskin and he cites, get a load of

29:25

this, his citation, not the citations

29:27

in the community notes, which are real. He

29:29

cites Joe Randy Weingarten's op-ed

29:32

in the New York Times. Here, check this

29:34

out. And you gave a specific blueprint

29:37

to reopen schools in November. And

29:40

you continued all of this even after

29:42

the CDC released its operational

29:44

strategy in February of the next year.

29:47

And when I went back to Google this, to confirm

29:49

my memory, I found nothing but a bunch

29:51

of op-eds. You wrote demanding

29:53

school reopenings across the country,

29:56

countless speeches and articles about

29:58

your advocacy. Here's one I found.

29:59

York Times about you with

30:01

the headline, and I'd like to submit it for the

30:03

record, the union leader who says

30:06

she can get teachers back into the

30:08

schools. Get that crap out of here.

30:15

He cites

30:17

her up at the New York Times. That's what I'm going to do, Joe.

30:20

You know, if I got caught

30:22

robbing a bank, I'm going to write an op-ed saying I didn't

30:24

rob the bank and then introduce that in court as evidence.

30:27

I didn't rob the bank. Is it up at the New

30:29

York Times? Yeah, but you wrote it, Dan. It

30:31

doesn't matter. It's in the New York Times.

30:34

Of course, she got totally wrecked

30:36

by school choice advocate, great guy, Corey

30:38

D'Angelois, who then again tweeted this

30:40

out, all these headlines about the

30:43

teachers unions trying to keep the schools closed.

30:45

You could read them yourself. Powerful Teachers Union, influence

30:47

CDC on school reopenings, email shows.

30:51

Forget the school stuff for a second. Oh, that's an important

30:53

issue.

30:54

The point of today's show is clear.

30:56

The days of monopolistic control

30:59

of the media through linear channels

31:01

and go here at this time or you'll get nothing

31:04

are over. They are over. Community

31:07

notes, Twitter video, Rumble

31:09

video. There are thousands of

31:11

options out there for people to consume content

31:14

on the web. It's over. All

31:16

you've got to do is figure them out.

31:19

All you got to do is figure them out.

31:22

I want to show you another video coming up next of John

31:24

Kennedy, a senator from Louisiana,

31:27

who I've grown to like a lot because

31:29

he has very direct questions.

31:31

He put an abortion, radical abortion activist

31:34

on the spot yesterday and she didn't know what to say.

31:36

I got that. And don't let me leave without that Giannis

31:38

video, too. It's a really good video. That's

31:41

some good stuff. So Giannis, a

31:43

basketball player, really good one.

31:45

Giannis, sorry. I don't follow

31:48

sports folks. I screw this stuff up both times. Giannis

31:50

has to correct me all the time. But apparently

31:53

he's really good. But I don't care

31:55

if he's good or not in basketball. He just gave a great

31:57

answer to a dopey reporter's question. Ladies

32:00

and gentlemen, sure you can go to Brazil or Colombia and get

32:02

some crazy stuff done to your face, but why would you do that?

32:05

Now you can look years younger right before your eyes

32:07

during the GenuCell's Mother's Day sale. Here's

32:09

a real review from GenuCell.com.

32:11

Claire said, I love GenuCell. My skin

32:14

feels great, tighter, younger with

32:16

a more even tone. Even if I

32:18

only use it for a week, my advice for everyone,

32:20

take a before picture. But her husband,

32:22

Jim,

32:23

who keeps getting very lucky, folks, makes

32:26

it a more exciting point.

32:28

My wife loves it.

32:29

Ever since I purchased it for her, things got much more

32:31

interesting after dark, Jim says.

32:34

Congratulations, Jim. It's

32:37

true, nothing works like GenuCell because it's a family

32:39

33:09

GenuCell.com slash Dan.

33:11

GenuCell.com slash Dan. Thanks, GenuCell.

33:13

All right.

33:16

Again, more evidence. They cannot control

33:18

the messaging anymore.

33:19

We can use the triad to conservative

33:22

activists, the media and

33:24

congressional committees. In this case,

33:27

a Senate committee, which had a hearing and

33:29

they had a radical abortion activist up there. And

33:31

you know, the Democrats want to run on the abortion issue.

33:34

They want to make us look like radicals. John

33:36

Kennedy paid back the favor. We're radicals. Do

33:39

you support abortion right up until birth? Like

33:42

right up until birth. Babies being born right now. Do you

33:44

kill it? That's

33:46

a pretty simple answer if you're a sane person, right? Joe,

33:48

the answer is, that's horrible. I

33:51

mean, that's like murder, right? Yeah. Pretty

33:53

simple answer. No, no, no. And the answer

33:55

is no, Joe. Not if you're a radical abortion

33:57

activist. The answer is that's a really difficult question.

33:59

So let me put a word salad together here.

34:02

Take a look yourself. Do you support? It

34:09

being legal to abort

34:13

an unborn Child

34:18

up to the moment of birth Senator

34:25

Kennedy, it is not a yes or

34:27

no question. I support women

34:29

like Miss Zierowski

34:32

women. I don't

34:36

I think it is yes or no question. No, well,

34:38

if there were a law that's

34:41

I'm just trying to understand your perspective

34:44

and I'm not accusing you of this. Of

34:46

course not. But you

34:48

know, people sort of talk around

34:51

this issue. If there

34:53

were a bill that said that

34:55

a woman has an unfettered

34:58

right to abort

35:00

an unshy unborn baby

35:03

for any reason up to the moment of

35:05

birth, would you vote yes or would

35:08

you vote no?

35:09

Senator Kennedy, I refuse to be shackled

35:12

by your question. What I have answered

35:15

is that there are conditions that,

35:17

you know, whether you would vote yes

35:19

or no, there are conditions

35:21

during pregnancy that

35:23

mean after 10 weeks, no,

35:25

I said on 24

35:29

weeks. You see, we can do that too.

35:31

We can do that too.

35:33

You want to run on social issues, lefties

35:35

and try to paint us in a corner. We're playing you in a corner

35:37

too. You think it's convenient

35:39

to run on Republicans or abortion

35:41

extremists. You want to abort babies while

35:44

they're being born. You can't answer

35:46

that question because that sounds to me like

35:49

a homicide. That's what

35:51

it sounds like to me. We can

35:53

do this too.

35:56

Right. I got a stack show. So I gotta get some more. So I got a news

35:58

roundup for you here.

35:59

quick stories and I want to get back to Nikki Haley,

36:02

who I don't need

36:04

to preface, it's like, I liked Nikki Haley, but

36:06

it doesn't matter if I like her. I don't even care. It

36:09

doesn't matter if she likes me or I like her.

36:11

I'm kind to everybody when I see him

36:13

in person because I don't want to be a jerk. But I

36:15

have a responsibility to you, okay?

36:17

The audience, not to Nikki Haley or anyone else.

36:19

And she said something yesterday in a Fox interview,

36:22

so patently absurd that

36:24

honestly, I really think it's time for her to pull

36:26

out of the presidential race at this point.

36:28

I'm serious. I think it's that

36:31

absurd.

36:31

I'm going to get to that, but just a quick news roundup and

36:33

some stories because I'm not going to be able to,

36:36

I'm not going to be here tomorrow. I'm very sorry.

36:38

We had to take a day off.

36:40

It's nothing major. It's not an emergency or anything like that,

36:42

but we're not going to be here tomorrow. So I got to get this stuff out today.

36:44

Ladies and gentlemen, how do you feel about

36:47

this bananas story in the Wall Street Journal?

36:49

The IRS is taking some of the $80 million,

36:52

a billion, excuse me, billion dollar

36:54

windfall and Austin Powers moment they got from Congress.

36:57

And they're looking at apparently now a

36:59

pre-auditing system.

37:02

Oh, oh yeah. Oh yeah.

37:04

This is a great idea. This

37:06

is a great idea up there with pouring

37:08

bleach in your eyes, meeting a really bad

37:11

one. You can read the article yourselves

37:13

called cooking the IRS study books.

37:15

They're looking at apparently this tax filing

37:18

system and it's

37:20

going to make the tax collector quote the first

37:22

and last arbiter of how much Americans owe.

37:24

In other words,

37:26

you can go opt into the system and

37:28

the IRS is going to figure out in advance

37:31

what you owe rather than

37:33

you telling them what you owe.

37:36

Now folks, the potential

37:38

for this becoming mandatory is

37:40

rather large.

37:43

Can you imagine a pre-audit,

37:45

a pre-audit, which will probably now I

37:47

say this crazy. I can see the lefties.

37:50

Well, you don't want to pay your taxes. No, liberals don't want

37:52

to pay their taxes. They're the worst. You want to go

37:54

through the John Kerry, Hillary Clinton,

37:57

Al Sharpton, and others who've had issues

37:59

in this regard.

37:59

Okay, they don't want to pay their taxes. That's

38:02

not the point.

38:03

You're telling me the same government that couldn't even do an Obamacare

38:05

website

38:06

is gonna pre-audit you and tell you what

38:08

you owe? Oh, and they're gonna err on your

38:10

side, I'm sure. I'll take a hard pass

38:13

on that, thanks. Here's another one,

38:15

RedState. Hey, the GOP

38:18

did it. You may not like all of it, I certainly didn't,

38:20

but they passed the debt ceiling bill.

38:23

GOP passed it out of the house.

38:25

So now I just want you to understand going forward,

38:28

you can see the coverage by Bonchy at RedState

38:31

and the newsletter, any shutdown of the government now or default,

38:34

it's in the Democrats' hands. They control the Senate,

38:36

they control the White House. Thank you, have a nice

38:38

day.

38:39

Your call now, fellas. There's

38:41

a default, some kind of interest rate risk.

38:44

You did it. You did

38:46

it.

38:47

Wasn't the greatest plan in the world.

38:48

All right, I want to get to this Nikki Haley video in a minute, let

38:50

me get to my last sponsor. Quick economic update,

38:53

Giannis and Ennis Rick Scott video, which is

38:55

good stuff. It's gonna be a quick show, boom, boom, boom.

38:58

A lot of stuff coming out today. Windshield Wow,

39:01

Windshield Wow. Why do I say wow when I use

39:03

it? Because it's great. You

39:04

know, we get to pick our sponsors here, which is a great spot

39:06

to be in. And I really like this product. It's

39:08

Windshield Wow. The website is windshieldwow.com.

39:12

It's an ingenious windshield cleaning device. It

39:14

uses two magnetic cleaning paddles, so you can clean

39:16

the windshield by motioning over the outside

39:19

and then a paddle follows on the inside. They're

39:21

attached by the super strong magnet. It gets

39:23

into corners, it gets everywhere. It

39:25

cleans the haze and all that mist and

39:28

nonsense and dust off your windshield. Down here

39:30

in Florida, it rains all the time. Did you see

39:32

that rain yesterday, Guy?

39:33

It was like a tornado by my house

39:35

yesterday. Did you see when you drove in this morning?

39:37

Did you see that there's stuff everywhere?

39:40

Oh, it looked like a war zone. It's

39:42

bad, rains down here a lot in the summer from

39:44

three o'clock to like four o'clock. You

39:46

gotta keep your windshields clean. You're getting an accident or

39:48

something. A haze and the film builds up. You can't see

39:51

anything.

39:51

Windshield Wow is the fastest and least hassle way

39:53

to get super clean, streak-free and safe

39:56

windshields. There's one in every car in my household.

39:59

It says we got...

39:59

We actually got two, but we actually got three. We got another one now

40:02

for my daughter. Go to windshieldwild.com,

40:04

get this ingenious cleaning device now. It

40:06

works great. Two magnetic paddles, just

40:08

right from the outside. You don't have to sit there and try to break

40:11

your shoulder by getting the windshield

40:13

from the inside. It does it for you. It's windshieldwild.com,

40:16

windshieldwild.com. Use Bongino

40:18

at checkout for a special discount.

40:21

Promo code Bongino. That's windshieldwild.com.

40:23

Thanks windshieldwild for being our newest sponsor. We

40:25

love the product. We love having you here. Thanks a

40:28

lot. All right. Folks, I'm sorry, but this

40:30

is disqualifying.

40:31

Again, whether I like Nikki Haley or not

40:33

is irrelevant. I don't not like her. I don't

40:36

care. I'm really, I'm agnostic

40:38

on this stuff. I owe you the truth.

40:41

She went on Fox yesterday and she was asked about the ongoing

40:43

war with Disney, which is ladies and gentlemen, I

40:45

don't care who you're supporting. If you're supporting

40:48

Ron DeSantis for governor, you're welcome on the show.

40:50

If you're supporting Donald Trump, you're definitely welcome

40:52

on the show. I don't think it's

40:54

a mystery. I've been a Trump guy for a long time,

40:56

correct? But you're always welcome here.

40:58

You're supporting Nikki Haley, you're welcome here too.

41:01

However, if any one of those people does something

41:03

dumb, I'm gonna call it out because

41:05

it's my job to you. I don't work for

41:07

these campaigns.

41:09

I don't think Trump not competing in the debates

41:11

is a good idea personally. I said

41:13

that yesterday.

41:15

All right, on the DeSantis thing. However,

41:18

I think this battle with Disney is

41:20

not just about DeSantis. It's about Florida

41:22

legislators too.

41:24

It always, oh, DeSantis, DeSantis, but

41:26

the Florida legislature has

41:28

taken on Disney and it's the right thing to do.

41:31

Disney had a special carve out in

41:33

the state of Florida. Everybody knows it.

41:35

It's not a freaking mystery. And they had a special

41:38

carve out. They were getting their asses kissed by

41:40

the government. Everybody used to say down here in

41:42

Florida, don't mess with Disney. I know I ran down

41:44

here.

41:45

And they took that special carve out and started

41:47

getting involved in far left politics.

41:50

Folks, I gotta tell you, I'm really sorry, but

41:52

some people are making a political issue out of this because

41:54

of the primer. Oh, DeSantis should end

41:56

this war with Disney. How to the

41:59

F? No, he's... shouldn't.

42:02

No, he shouldn't. I'm sorry. This

42:04

is an existential fight for

42:06

the role of corporate America in a culture

42:09

war rotting our country from the inside

42:11

out like a damn cancer. And

42:12

if you don't get

42:15

that, then it's freaking disqualifying.

42:17

I'm sorry. And

42:20

I think Trump made a mistake too about this

42:22

one.

42:23

This is a real fight with these people.

42:25

This is a real

42:28

fight.

42:30

Here's Nikki Haley yesterday. Go Disney,

42:32

whatever. Come to our state. Will, oh yeah.

42:34

Bring all the wokeness over there. Run South Carolina

42:37

too. This

42:37

is just dumb. I'm sorry. Check this out.

42:40

You know, as governor, I took a double-digit

42:42

unemployment state and I turned it into an economic

42:44

powerhouse. Businesses were my partners

42:47

because if you take care of your businesses, you take care

42:49

of your economy, your economy takes care

42:51

of the people and everyone wins. And so

42:54

that's the way we dealt with it. We are,

42:56

South Carolina was a very anti-woke

42:58

state. It still is. And if Disney

43:01

would like to move their hundreds of thousands of jobs

43:03

to South Carolina and bring the billions of dollars

43:06

with them, I'll let them know. I'll be happy to meet them

43:08

in South Carolina and introduce them

43:10

to the governor and the legislature that would, that

43:12

would welcome

43:13

it. No, no, no.

43:16

With due respect,

43:20

governor, with due respect,

43:22

that is garbage. You

43:25

should immediately, immediately

43:27

retract that.

43:28

If you don't understand

43:30

how the conservative fight right

43:33

now with

43:33

corrupted woke big business

43:36

is the fight, then you belong nowhere

43:38

near the White House or the cabinet for that matter either.

43:42

I can't support anyone like

43:44

that.

43:45

You know, I try to stay out. I tell everyone

43:47

you're all welcome here. Supportant Vivek,

43:50

Tim Scott, whatever. You're all welcome on this

43:52

show. Everybody, everybody deserves a fair shot. And

43:54

by the way, I'll extend the invitation to Nikki

43:56

Haley. She wants to come on my radio show.

43:59

I will give her a fair

43:59

I will not interrupt there.

44:01

But that is nonsense. The

44:03

days of the Republican Party, listen to me,

44:06

man, Fokker, beam me in the eyes. That's an

44:08

O for you folks out there, right?

44:10

The days of Republican Party folks

44:12

surgically attaching their ass to big business

44:15

no matter what and the Chamber of Commerce are

44:17

freaking over, done. No

44:20

more free passes. No more tax

44:22

handouts. No more bootlicking. No

44:24

more ass kissing. No more back

44:26

rubs. It's over.

44:29

We are a conservative movement that supports

44:31

capitalism. That means merit. That

44:34

doesn't mean the government kisses your ass, gives

44:36

you special carve outs, gives you back

44:38

rubs. None of that is capitalism. That's

44:41

capitalism, okay?

44:44

And if you don't get that,

44:46

then you don't belong in the race. They

44:48

had a special carve out in the Reedy

44:50

Creek District. That's a fact.

44:53

They used that for years to

44:55

insert themselves into Florida politics.

44:57

At our expense.

45:00

And then they took it to fight a culture

45:02

war suggesting or implying somehow

45:04

that it's okay to

45:06

sexually indoctrinate our kids

45:08

at a young age. Absolutely not.

45:11

Absolutely not.

45:13

That is disqualifying.

45:15

She needs to retract that immediately.

45:19

You know what? While we're on the topic of merit, I'm gonna skip

45:21

around.

45:22

Giannis, oh, I see his name wrong.

45:24

Such a terror. Folks, I'm messing with

45:26

you. I follow college sports.

45:29

I don't, there's nothing about the NBA. I'm actually embarrassed

45:31

because I grew up a Knicks fan. John Starks,

45:33

Anthony Mason,

45:34

Charles Oakley, Patrick Ewing.

45:37

And I couldn't tell you a single starting

45:39

player on the Knicks, even though, are they still even

45:41

in the play? I know they're in the playoffs. So it's embarrassing.

45:43

But this is great. I don't know this guy Giannis, but

45:45

a reporter asked him a question

45:47

about, hey man, did they lose or something?

45:50

And he's like, you know, is this a failure? Did you

45:52

waste your time? And the answer,

45:54

I rarely play these entire

45:56

things. It's not that long, but

45:58

you need to listen to this and show it to your,

45:59

kids where he's like, ask the reporter

46:02

like, what are you an idiot? It's a failure.

46:04

Let me tell you what failure looks like. I got a whole

46:06

book coming out about this. So this topic fascinates

46:08

me how people constantly fall

46:10

and the chumps stay down and the winners

46:12

get back up.

46:14

Listen to this. Do you view this season as a failure?

46:19

Oh my God. Oh, okay.

46:23

Because I'm not that. You

46:26

asked me the same question last year, Eric. Do

46:30

you get a promotion every year on

46:33

your job? No, right? So every year you work as

46:35

a failure. Yes or no? No.

46:38

Every year you work, you work towards

46:40

something, towards a goal, which

46:42

is to get a promotion, to be able to take

46:45

care of your family, to be able, I don't know,

46:48

provide the house for them or take care of your parents.

46:50

You work towards a goal. It's not a failure.

46:53

It's steps to success.

46:55

And if you've never, I

46:57

don't want to make it

46:59

personal. So there's always steps

47:01

to it. You know, Michael

47:05

Jordan played 15 years, one six championship.

47:07

The other nine years was a failure. That's

47:10

what you're telling me. I'm

47:12

actually a question. Yes or no? Okay,

47:15

exactly. So why you ask me that question? It's

47:18

a wrong question. There's no failure in sports.

47:22

You know, there's good days, bad days, some days, some

47:24

days you are able to be successful. Some days

47:26

you're not. Some days it's your turn,

47:28

some days it's not your turn. And that's what sports

47:30

are about. You don't always win. Some

47:32

other people is going to win. And this

47:34

year somebody else is going to win. Similar to that,

47:37

we're going to come back next year, try to be better, try

47:39

to build good habits, try to

47:41

play better, not have 10 days' threats

47:44

with playing bad basketball. You

47:46

know, and hopefully we can win a championship. So 50

47:49

years from 1971 to 2021 that we didn't win a

47:52

championship. It was 50 years of failures.

47:55

No, it was not.

47:56

It was steps to it, you know, and

47:59

we were able to...

47:59

to win one, hopefully we can win another one.

48:02

Oh my gosh, is that refreshing? In a world

48:05

full of entertainment and sports star

48:07

lunatics, wusses, woke terrians,

48:09

morons, and LeBron James types, right,

48:12

to have a guy, I

48:13

don't care about his politics, not even interested, I know

48:15

nothing about the guy. He says he's really good,

48:17

I don't know. Didn't even say his name right.

48:19

I don't really care.

48:22

What he just said there is magic.

48:25

And you should play that for your kids.

48:27

You plow ahead, you get off your ass,

48:30

you fall on the mat, you get knocked out,

48:32

you get back up.

48:33

If you can still fight, you fight.

48:37

You lose a game, you don't go crying in the corner

48:40

like a wuss bag taking your jersey off,

48:42

you know, with your freaking Kleenex. Stop

48:44

the whining, get back in the weight room

48:46

the next day and start moving the steel

48:49

and better yourself so you can freaking win.

48:52

Everybody fails, everyone,

48:54

everyone.

48:55

There isn't a single organism on

48:58

this rock we call earth that hasn't taken a

49:00

major L, a loss, in some point

49:02

in their life. You know what separates the winners

49:05

from the losers? Not losing,

49:07

winners lose too, all the time,

49:09

all the time.

49:11

It's the losers get back up

49:14

and they don't let the failure define them.

49:17

I've been fascinated by this topic for the

49:19

last year of my life.

49:20

How many successful people took major

49:22

losses in their life?

49:24

Folks, play that for your kids, man.

49:27

Play that for your kids.

49:28

Play it on loop.

49:31

Amazing. All right,

49:34

just a couple more stories. GDP number came in today.

49:36

It's important for your wallet, not good, folks.

49:38

GDP is slowing down, slowing down dramatically.

49:41

Came in at 1%.

49:42

Folks, that's bad. We're not even hitting

49:44

anywhere close to even inflation. The economy's

49:47

not growing at the rate of inflation. This

49:49

is awful.

49:50

The estimate was 2%, which is equally

49:52

awful.

49:53

The previous quarter was 2.6%.

49:56

This is bad news. Jobless claims not

49:58

looking any better. A mild impression.

49:59

but hovering near 17 month

50:02

highs.

50:03

I'm not your financial advisor folks. I'm just

50:06

telling you,

50:07

we're in for some rough roads. If we don't get this guy

50:09

out of the White House and get ahold of this debt ceiling

50:11

quick,

50:12

really rough road.

50:14

All right, let me wrap on this today. Rick Scott,

50:17

who's the Senator from Florida.

50:18

He put out this, he put out

50:20

this ad. He's been really aggressive in going after

50:23

Biden. And I personally appreciate it. Cause

50:25

he's putting a lot of his efforts into

50:27

it. And he represents Florida. I don't think he's running for president.

50:29

I'm not sure. I mean, he hasn't announced anything,

50:31

but Biden's running for four more years.

50:34

He wants to finish the job, Biden.

50:37

And he wants more of this. And Rick Scott

50:39

asks in this ad he put together,

50:41

well, more of what?

50:44

More of this. Even

50:46

though this report was higher than expectations,

50:49

it is perhaps no surprise to Americans

50:51

who know and have been feeling inflation

50:54

is painfully high.

50:55

Folks in the bread industry are warning that prices

50:57

could rise. I

51:00

still think we have a very serious inflation

51:02

problem in this country. That's been the work of my

51:04

first term. Brand

51:05

new update from the gas pump prices. They're hitting

51:07

another record. The rise in record

51:10

gas prices has been relentless. It's

51:12

a regressive tax inflation. Those who can

51:14

least afford it are the ones that get, cause we all pay the

51:16

same thing for gas, no matter pretty much how much money

51:19

we make. We're still a country that believes in honesty and

51:21

respect and treating each other with dignity.

51:24

What a stupid sound of a bitch. Just

51:27

crossing

51:27

and migrants. I spoke to this morning

51:29

saying they haven't had any interaction with US

51:31

immigration authorities. They just walked right in.

51:33

Have you ever seen anything like this?

51:36

Nothing. It's

51:39

a dark CD thing we've ever seen down here. These

51:42

numbers

51:42

are still exploding through the

51:44

roof. They're still at 20 year record highs. Scenes

51:49

of complete chaos as people clamor

51:51

to be evacuated. America's

51:54

longest war has ended and humiliating

51:56

collapse. There is only one person

51:58

to hold responsible. And that is President

52:01

Biden. If this isn't failure, what

52:03

does failure look like exactly? It

52:06

looks like failure looks like exactly that.

52:08

That's exactly what it looks like.

52:11

Ladies and gentlemen, there's a rotting bag of oatmeal in the

52:13

White House. You can't even figure out where the freaking red

52:15

carpet is. You want four more years of this

52:17

disaster?

52:19
