Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. Folks, what the hell is going on with the vote count Pennsylvania. No, seriously, there are representative lawmakers from the Republican Party in Pennsylvania who put out a press release yesterday. It's just stunning, claiming that there was some discrepancy in the number of people who voted and the actual vote count. That sounds like kind of a big deal to me.

No, kind of a little bit of a big deal. And, of course, the fact checkers, you know, fact checkers who are really far left, Soviet style opinion makers for liberals, full time activists chimed in and checked again, an irrelevant component of what I just told you to make you believe what I told you isn't an issue.

All right Joe, let's go in. So these Republican lawmakers in Texas excuse me, Pennsylvania, not Texas, put out a press release yesterday with some pretty astonishing data, is it evidence of voter fraud? I don't know. Does it look pretty suspicious? It does. Do you think an independent media, independent media. We're talking about the media in the United States here. And if we had an independent media, you think they'd be curious. But showing you again how just like we discussed yesterday with the fact checkers, their real role is to be the provide the Soviets in the media.

What do they do when they want to discredit something that's worthy of attention, like the Joe Biden picture of him with the Klu Klux Klan member, Robert Byrd, campaigning for him when they want to discredit, even though the picture is not disp, what do they do? They focus on an irrelevant component of the picture and they debunk air quotes. The picture like the Klan photo, where they said, no, no, Joe Biden was not in the picture with a grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.

It wasn't Exalted Cyclops of the Kooks said, oh, OK, no problem then, folks. No problem. It's happening again. Here's what I mean. So this press release was issued yesterday by a representative, Russ Dayman from Pennsylvania. This is pretty stunning stuff. Pennsylvania lawmakers, quote, The numbers don't add up, certification of the presidential results was premature and in error. Listen to this. This is from Rustem is December twenty eight. Twenty twenty.

A comparison of official county election results, so the total number of voters who voted on November 3rd twenty twenty, as recorded by the Pennsylvania Department of State, shows that listen up. Listen here. This is interesting that six thousand nine hundred sixty two thousand six hundred and seven total ballots were reported as being cast. Got it, folks. Or six point nine million total ballots were cast as the Pennsylvania Department of State shows everybody tracking. Yeah, while the Department of State sure.

System records indicate that only six million six hundred seven hundred sixty thousand two hundred thirty total voters actually voted. Among the six point nine million total ballots cast and six point nine million total votes were counted in the presidential race, including all three candidates on the ballot write in candidate. So keep this up one second. So this can't possibly be is it an error or is it a statistical blemish? Is it an anomaly? What happened? So according to the Pennsylvania Department of State, six point nine million roughly total ballots were cast.

But there sure system records, only six point seven million voters actually voted. So six according to the Department of State.

Listen, could it be a mistake, unlike the provide the media oh, where they wake up every morning and they salute the Soviet Union national anthem? I'm actually open to facts. Is that a mistake? Could be. I'd love to hear. I haven't heard anyone refuting this. But according to the Pennsylvania legislators, by the way, where was this information before, was it a late tally? Could be why didn't we hear about this before? Only six point seven million people.

Joe, hold on. Follow me here, buddy. I need you as you and Paula you to the math is very complicated, OK, to audience ombudsman, because I want to make sure we don't lose the liberals, because as I said last night, filling in for Hannity, liberalism is the religion of the stupid. Only six point seven million people voted in Pennsylvania, according to their own records. Right. Right. Six point nine million votes were counted.

I you get a pass this year.

I got one here. A lot of second folks. All right. Point nine, six point seven. Count that. I'm double what that six point seven voted on that point. Now, listen, I was watching Apollo 13, one of my favorite movies this weekend. And when they lost the computer system in the in the support module and they had to transfer it over to the LEM, they had to do hand calculations and they were very complicated, say three or four people check the calculations to make sure they didn't bounce off the atmosphere.

These are complicated calculations, Joe. So I'm going to give you some numbers.

And, Paula, each of you could check six point nine million votes counted, six nine six point seven million people voted six seven.

Joe, check me if I'm wrong here. That seems to indicate to me that about two hundred thousand people's votes were counted that didn't actually vote. Joe, is that is my math, correct?

Yeah, you're pretty much right. Very good. Paula, Deborah, Paula. Much smarter than Joe and me, Paul. I think we both agree, Joe. Paula's IQ is like 20 points higher than both me and joke about biopolymer. Am I correct about the way Paul is? You're doing it on the computer, just to be sure. That seems to be correct. That seems to be correct. My math is I really did the math, but even if it's right here in the back of my book, just to be sure.

So two hundred thousand people, according to these lawmakers votes were counted who didn't vote. WERD. Crazy, crazy pills everywhere, and I don't carry with, like I Stallard, Paul, I say, you know, a totally and really I need that shirt from the movie Elf. Remember the Norwell scene. Hey, buddy, I hope you find your dad. Hey, Pa.. I hope you find the votes by now. Is this a missed?

It could be a mistake again, unlike this. So unlike the Soviet media, I'm actually interested in the truth. Could be an honest mistake. But sounds like kind of a big deal that maybe we should be looking into how two hundred thousand people votes were counted who didn't vote. Now, hmm, our media, which is a hilarious stain on the ass of humankind, that's what our media is, because there were an embarrassing joke. This is what they choose to focus on.

Now, to give you some background before I put this tweet up. This is a tweet by the ever hilarious Peter Baker at The New York Times. Just a total clown. This is supposed to be a member of the media. President Trump tweeted this out yesterday, but he made a mistake. He implied in his tweet that more people voted than voters who were registered in Pennsylvania. That's not accurate. OK, here's the tweet by Baker. There are just so you have the numbers, there are roughly nine million people registered to vote in Pennsylvania, as Baker puts in his tweet, and six point nine million votes were cast in Pennsylvania.

So President Trump's tweet was inaccurate, but it was it was often an obvious mistake. If you just read the Pennsylvania legislature legislators, what they put in their six point nine million votes were counted, yet only six point seven million people voted. So Baker, instead of looking into that, here's what he tweets at The New York Times. Again, this is, look, shiny red ball. This is supposed to be journalism. He puts Trump's Trump's tweet up excuse me.

He says Trump's tweets in Pennsylvania, there were two hundred five thousand more votes than mere voters. This alone flips the state. The president, Trump Baker, instead of looking into that, puts belief that registered voters in Pennsylvania, nine million votes cast in Pennsylvania, six point nine million. Ladies and gentlemen, it was an obvious mistake by President Trump. He corrected it this morning. All right. You would think the media would say, oh, my gosh, that sounds really weird.

The two hundred thousand more votes were counted than people who voted. No, no, no. That's not the media's job. Baker's initial response and others, rather than looking into the story, I don't know if he's done it subsequently, but looking at the story, is the tweet a shot to try to wreck President Trump? Ari, Katie. That's what they want to do instead of doing what we're doing, covering this, honestly, acknowledging it could be an honest mistake.

It may not be acknowledging both sides, which we always do and we've done from the beginning in this election. That's what's called reporting. Baker doesn't seem interested in that, he seems interested in attacking President Trump with a fake fact check and ignoring the reality of what these Pennsylvania lawmakers had to say. Folks, if anyone has an explanation for this, I'm open to it, the only thing I can possibly think of if there was an innocent explanation is that the county data and the state data don't marry up through this sewer system.

Maybe there was some input error. I don't know. But the fact that six point nine million votes were counted. Yet only six point seven million people showed up to vote. Seems like it would be worth looking into. Of course, we have to clean up the mess left by the media at all times, it's really disgusting.

All right, I will follow up on that story if I get to the bottom of it. An innocent explanation or not? Obviously, if not, that's going to be a really big deal. But we should have answers on this, hopefully today. Huge story. On a lighter note, before I move on to cancel culture stories which have been dominating the media landscape over the last few days, after that awful story we covered yesterday about this young lady who made a video on Tick-Tock, you dropped a racial slur while while copying a rap song.

And it was now life has been ruined by this other buffoon. Cancel culture stories, but but I want to get deeper into that today, because yesterday's show did really well and people seem really interested about the deeper component of why it is what is. But before I get to that, I want to get to this tweet on kind of a hilarious note. Again, not to double down on the pathetic media. We all know how grotesque they are that the Soviet worshipers and our media, the Pravda.

But I saw this on a Twitter this morning. This is Newsweek's Warka Report, or the Nightwalker, the White House press pool report issued its White House communications drop it back at all its security. But the White House press pool, here's one of their members, Elizabeth Crisp, who tweeted this morning, Cry me at ocean, Liz. Cry not a river. Cry me an ocean. She says, Oh, my gosh, it's nearly two a.m..

And Trump is tweeting and retweeting about Congress. White House pool reporters stationed with him have a call time in less than six hours, often an early morning call. Time indicates golf plays. Oh, cry me the Pacific Ocean. Liz Crisp. She's so upset she has one of the greatest jobs in the media. To be a member of the press pool now in my prior line of work, as you well know, I dealt with the press pool every day.

It's this group of maybe 12 to 20 something reporters from all the reporters all over the country. These are the ones selected by their respective journalistic entities to represent the press that day. And they get what's called a pool feed, where they feed out from the pool for all the agencies and what do they do there? They do it because you don't want sixty thousand members of the press following the president around every day in a motorcade seven miles long. So the press in general picks a pool that rotates each day.

And members from AP, Reuters, Fox, CNN, they all rotate in and out, have members. Some have permanent seats, some don't. So Newsweek, she has this great job and she's whining because of the call time, is there a President Trump is tweeting late at night? I mean, no shit. Oh, how do you do it? How do you hack it? I just don't know. You know, our military people overseas wake up at six a.m. to go kill the bad guys and stuff.

But, gosh, you had to get. Now, what happens with the call time? Just a little inside baseball. If the president is going to go golfing in the morning and the motorcade is going to leave at seven o'clock in the morning. The press has to get up earlier than that for the call time because they have to have their equipment swept before they can get in a motorcade. So your cameras, your microphones, all of that stuff to make sure it doesn't have any explosives in it or weapons, you have to bring it down to a sound like inside baseball secrets.

Folks, we show the press that every day you go down to like a ballroom in the hotel. Wherever it is, there's EOD dogs, explosives detection dogs. And there's our guys. We look we look at the equipment, make sure that an agent stays with them. Everything's secure. You get to go in the motorcade. Really sorry. You had to get up at 6:00 a.m., by the way, hat tip to the Secret Service agents, military guys and even the EOD dogs who have to get up even earlier than 6:00 a.m. to prepare for the sweep.

Cryos All the river. Liz Crisp, sorry. Do your job, do your job. And by doing your job, I mean, maybe look into this Pennsylvania story, debunk it. If it's not real and there's a mistake, I'd love to hear it. Waiting to hear from you, Liz. I'm sure we'll hear nothing from you about this to maybe send it to me on email emails on the website. We'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

They. All right, moving on, I saw a really wonderful story by you all. You ever seen Victor Davis Hanson on Cable News, Fox or Newsmax or elsewhere if you haven't? I interviewed him once when I used to guest host on radio at webmail in Washington, D.C. And this is one of the most brilliant thinkers we have out there right now. If you are missing the works and the musings of Victor Davis Hanson, then I feel for you.

Look him up. He I think this is his last piece in National Review. But ladies and gentlemen, it is a good one in light of what's going on. We covered yesterday in a block this growing threat of cancer culture in our society and what it's really about. And we covered two stories, the canceling of now classics in literature, how there are these liberal activists, Soviet school districts who are now trying to wipe clean from history, Homer's Odyssey, The Scarlet Letter by Hawthorne, all these classic works of literature because I mean, I don't even know what it's because of some stupid WOAK reason that I don't practice folk ism.

So it's just dumb. Kind of like why they canceled Mark Twain for historical use of the N-word in the books. Folks, how are we going to learn about what happened in history? Again, as I said yesterday, if we're constantly trying to put lipstick on it and sanitize it, I never got that. I don't understand the logic of left. I confronted Daryl Parks about it filling in for Hannity last night, who is a man of the left.

How it doesn't make sense how we're simultaneously sanitizing history by exposing it. Let's expose the the failings of the Scarlet Letter book and let's expose it for everyone to see and then delete it, it doesn't make any sense. It's illogical. But the left's craving for cancer culture is a power movement. It's not based in logical reason. The rules don't make sense. Think about it. This 15 year old girl girl who records a video. And drops the N word in it well, by meaning a rap song seems to be canceled for life in The New York Times and almost celebrates it.

But Joe Biden again. Who marches at a rally with a known Klu Klux Klan member, he's allowed to apologize for it, but the girl isn't. Of course, that's not based on reason or logic. It's the definition of insanity. But because Joe Biden is a man of the left. Everything's OK. Well, Victor Davis Hanson has a piece about this that's really good. It'll be in my newsletter, Bongino DOT newsletter, also known as the Show Notes.

Please subscribe. Today, we pick the best articles out there for you and this one's worth your time because of the it's a little lengthy, but it is worth it. I covered just a few highlights from it. The piece is called A Guide to Wolk's Beat by the Great Victor Davis Hanson. What he's trying to get at the core of the piece is something you absolutely have to understand how the weaponization of our language by the left is used for a very specific tactical purpose.

You'll never know how to defeat the left if you don't understand their tactics and their battle tactics around language and Wolk ism or this, they use language as a tactical weapon to create millions of new public enemies, that they'll defeat enemies. Air quotes that they're going to defend you against. The left can't win on their ideas because their ideas are devoid of logic. Give us your money. We can spend it better than you. That doesn't make any sense.

Turn over your health care to us. We know more about your health care than you do. How the hell do you know that? That's ridiculous. School choice. We know better about the school, your kids you go to than you do as parents. That's idiocy. So the left understands and you need to understand the left that their ideas are dumb and make no sense. So the only way to get you to vote for them and support their quest for power is to make you believe that they are protecting you against some unknown enemy that they are going to create.

Some non-existent enemy they're going to create, so in order to create an enemy, they have to fabricate the enemy. They didn't have to do that during the time of slavery and civil rights fight and Jim Crow, by the way, that was largely a Republican fight. The Democrats were the where the where the Dixiecrats. But that's a whole different. But having said that, they didn't have that enemy was their slavery and Jim Crow were real persistent. Sadly, evils in our society didn't have to be created.

And racism unquestionably still exists, only an idiot would say otherwise, the question isn't, doesn't race it? Does racism exist or not? The answer is obvious. Of course it does. The question is, is it a systemic problem that requires a systemic response? The answer, ladies and gentlemen, is not supported by any data, so they have to create an enemy. Getting back to my initial point, how do you create the enemy by constantly changing the language and anybody who opposes to changing the language is that enemy you're about to create and it's to be combated at any be fought against at any given moment.

And the less telling you they're their ally in the fight, they do it every time. But, you know, I have to give this example again, I'm sorry, I know my regular listeners have heard it a thousand times, but when I used to be on the radio, I was on the same radio station. And that morning before I went on hosting the morning show, there was a story that came out that suggested that. The activist lobby.

Was was suggesting now that the use of the word either homosexual or gay, and I forget which one showing you how much, I don't even remember that. But one of the use of one of those words was now going to now going to be considered homophobic. Notice the now. You can't refer to people who are either gay, is homosexual or homosexual. Can I forget the order it was in? But one of those words was randomly declared on that day to be homophobic.

Now, if you didn't get the memo and you said that on the radio, you were now the new enemy. Oh, my gosh, look, that's homophobic. He said the word gay. That I'm not kidding, I remember it, I said we talked about it on the radio that day, how this is how the left weaponize this language, they create new words and create new categories surrounding words. Here's Victor's first example in this story about the weaponization of language and Wokingham to create new public enemies.

And it's a good one. Folks, here's the new buzz term, anti racism, so now because they're having to leave this up for a second, how they're having such a tough time in the left, finding enough racists to tell minority voters they're going to protect them against because it's not the systemic problem they want you to believe it is. Thankfully, it's an isolated abnormality and a real serious problem. But in isolation, it's not systemic as they want you to believe.

So now they had to change the term to anti-racism. And Victor Hanson says anti racism is a useful salvo for students, teachers, administrators, public employees, political appointees and media personnel to use preemptively to declare you from the preamp to declare from the start sorry that you're working for anti racism. And then here this is important. And then anyone who disagrees with you therefore must be racist or apathetically pro racism. Oddly, such woak speak and the adjectives denote opposition to something that no one, no one claims to be for.

For each proclaimed antiracist, anti imperialist or anti colonialist colonialist, there's almost no one who wishes to be a racist or a colonialist or an imperialist. Listen to this last sentence. These villains mostly come to life only through the use of their A.I. adjectives, bingo! Ding, ding.

I was tempted to hit the cannibal at. You can even see the cannibal puppet in the photo, they see the. These villains are created. They're created out of thin air when you can't find enough racists, thankfully, to make the case that society is systemically racist, everyone hates you if you're a minority. And we as liberals, because our policy sucks, you should vote for us because we're going to protect you against the horde of racists out there when you can't find enough examples to make your case.

What do you do? You just create them. So the new buzz term on the left is anti racism, and if you are not Joe, an active antiracist, you are in fact a racist. That's so if you're just living your life, shame on you, Armacost. Treating people who are black and Hispanic and Asian and people from different cultures and countries. If you're just treating them normally just like a normal person would normal shame on you. You're a racist because Joe, you're not an anti racist.

Now, you are not actively going out and promoting anti-racism. You're doing this shameful, shameful, dreaded, shameful thing like treating people like people. Oh, my gosh. You can't have that. I hear you. What did Jim Comey say already? You can't do that if you're not an active anti-racist. You are, in fact, a racist. You see how they create enemies lickety split overnight. They do this all the time. It is the biggest fraud of our time.

And God forbid you speak out against this, you are clearly a racist because as Victor Davis Hanson says, if you're not an anti racist, you're clearly a pro racist by default. Creating a magical new category of hundreds of millions of racists in the United States that the liberals are going to protect you against, ladies and gentlemen, when our people on the left who've been suckered by this are going to survive. Now he has legions of examples in his piece, it's very long, I'm just going to get to a few more because they're important.

It's critical you understand their game and the weaponization of words, language, phrases and how they use it. So now you know why they switched from we're fighting racism to now where the anti racists again, because if you're against them, you're terrorists. And to fight racists, Joe, you have to go find racists.

That's right.

And they can not in mass. So they have to create them. Here's another one when they can't find examples, the left of actual discrimination out there, they had to change it to disparate impact. So let me give you a quick example, a topic that has been near and dear to my heart, the af h this liberal program to put. Low income housing and middle class neighborhoods, why not? Because they have any evidence that minorities have been discriminated against and middle class.

That's illegal right now. You cannot discriminate against someone to buy or sell a home based on their race that's already illegal. You will win that lawsuit, hands down, if you can prove it. So because they can't find enough examples of this of black, Hispanic or minority families being turned away from living in middle class neighborhoods, what do they use now from the Victor Davis Hanson? Disparate impact. What's disparate impact, weaponization of the language, again, round to ding ding, disparate impact, this word is becoming anachronistic.

Call it woak spok, if you will. In ancient labor law usage, it often accompanied the now equally calcified term disproportional representation. But in 21st century American WOAK speak, it is no longer necessarily unfair, illegal or unethical that some racial, gender or ethnic group are quote overrepresented in certain coveted admissions and hiring notice. Let me translate that for you. So. Because they can't prove cases in mass of blacks or Hispanics being discriminated against in housing, discriminated against in education, what do they do?

They use overrepresentation figures. Follow me here, Armacost. So they'll go to a neighborhood. And because they don't like the racial composition of that neighborhood, they'll say. Well, clearly, there was some racism here, blacks, Hispanics were discriminated against buying housing in this neighborhood. What's the problem? They go they search all the lawsuits in that town and what can't they find? Actual lawsuits or evidence of discrimination, a big problem because, Joe, what did I tell you the beginning?

You have to create new enemies and be the enemies would be obvious. Listen, if you are people in your neighborhood discriminating against Hispanic or black or minority groups, they're really. I can't curse on the air because our jerks let's just that's just bad. OK, it's just a bad thing to do. You're ethically and morally in a vacuum of stupidity mean we all agree, right? Like everybody gets up. And if that's proven that you were discriminated against, you have legal avenues, but they can't prove it.

So what do they say in order to create a new racially look at that neighborhood, a middle class people, whites are overrepresented and are overrepresented in that neighborhood. They say the impact was disparate. It was a disparate impact just based on the representation of white residents of that middle class neighborhood. Do you have any evidence of that? No, no, no, we're just basing it on a proportion of the population if the proportion of the population in that area.

Is fifty two percent white, 10 percent black and 15 percent Hispanic, and the residents are 60 percent white, 80 percent black and six percent Hispanic. That is definitely evidence of actual discrimination. Is it really because we don't have any actual lawsuits for discrimination or complaints of discrimination? No, no, it's impacted minority groups in a disparate fashion, how no one's complained about it. How is that? But notice what Victor Davis Hanson throws in the air, which is absolutely brilliant, how nobody uses that same formula when it comes to athletics or college admissions or anything else.

Kind of weird, right, huh? Yeah. You go to a neighborhood, you have zero evidence of discrimination at all and you say it's overrepresented by whites. But when it comes to athletics that are overrepresented, overrepresented air quotes. By people who happen to be black. Mm hmm. Why does no one claim discrimination? The NFL, Major League Baseball, the NBA. What?

What, why? When people go to the university, if the university system and these WOAK universities. Some of which are actively discriminate against Asian-Americans. Because there's a cohort. They perform exceptionally well on some tests measured as a cohort. Why does nobody why does somebody bring it up then, that Asian-Americans are underrepresented because they are relative to their collective scores on standardized tests? Why does nobody bring that up? Because it's not a serious argument. Want me to debunk it right now for you?

I will use the great legendary Tommaseo sorry I don't have a video for this one. I'm just going to have to summarize what he said in his he had in his book about one of his economics books I just read. It was great. While his books are great, everyone. But when you pick a random assortment of people. And you can't find evidence of discrimination. But then you just use the random assortment as evidence of discrimination, you can find you leave out the fact, Joe, this is Balde, get ready for it that people don't.

A sort or make life decisions. Associate themselves randomly. In other words, if you pick a neighborhood, some random neighborhood, and you say, oh, it's over, represented by white folks. You leaving out the fact that that's not some random collection of people, they weren't picked randomly out of the phone book and told to move to the neighborhood, everyone had different motivations. Why did I move there? Why did someone else move there? Why did my next door neighbor in my old neighborhood who was Cuban moved there?

Who knows? I never asked them. People don't distribute themselves randomly, they don't distributed cells randomly in the NFL, people who get in the NFL are not selected randomly out of the phone book, folks. They're selected based on their talents to play a position. Oh, my gosh, what a crazy idea. People who find themselves in college, disproportionately black and Hispanic, in higher numbers are overrepresented in some colleges are not there randomly. They're there because they applied and the college applied some evaluation to get those students into the college.

It's not random. So picking a random sample of people who aren't there randomly is the definition of stupid. But liberals fall for it. Because liberalism is the religion of the stupid. I've got two more examples of the weaponization of language, because this is an argument that's going to grow. Folks, I'm telling you, you and your kids are only moments away, moments away from a cancellation. God forbid you get a public profile. They have called through every single thing in my life.

And I am telling you, ladies and gentlemen, this is going to come knocking at your door soon. I hope it doesn't, but it's dangerous stuff. I got two more examples coming up. Let me get to my second sponsor. Want to welcome on our good friends at PetSmart. You all know we just took in Lucy. We Love Lucy. She is our new dog, a golden doodle.

All right. I want to get back to this Victor Davis Hanson piece. Two more things. And I also I'm going to. Don't go away. Have you seen the hilarious Baldwin story, hilarious Baldwin. Her name is hilarious, actually. Her name is not even hilarious. It's Hilary. Hilary hilarious. Hilarious. Do not go anywhere if you haven't heard it yet, I rarely cover stuff like this job stuff or even laugh because it ties right into this hilarious Bob.

All right. Let's finish up on a serious note from the Victor Davis Hanson piece. Here's two more weaponization of the language. Again, to create new public enemies that the left is going to help you fight against, allegedly from the Victor Davis Hanson. Here's a new word about cultural appropriation. Here are the rules, folks. New rules. This is a new word for non African-Americans, dreadlocks or playing jazz, our cultural appropriation's. Yet dying, darker hair, blonde is not a black opera, soprano is hardly a cultural appropriation, is wearing a poncho.

If one is non Mexican American citizen is cultural theft, folks. A Mexican American citizen wearing a tuxedo. Of course it isn't.

Here's the kicker, how do we know when we get the cultural appropriation folks back to the peace, only a trained cultural appropriation is Joe can determine such felonies through a variety of benchmarks. Usually the crime of cultural appropriation is defined as appropriation by a victimizing majority from a victimized minority. Acceptable appropriation is a victimized minority appropriating from a victimizing majority epolicy. What the hell is going on? A secondary agenesis would add that only the theft of the valuable culture of the minority is a felony, while the occasional use of the dross of the majority is not.

Folks, if you're struggling like why Haiti? Is this so's everyone else? What did I tell you? This is not about logic. Cancel culture and the left's weaponization of the language to create new enemies they're allegedly going to help you fight against because they don't exist is about power, because they're losers. They don't have power through economic success or getting elected to office and winning nationally, winning people's hearts and minds. So what do they do? They use cancel cultures.

It's not logical. How do we know that? Because he just pointed this out. So just to be clear. If you wear a poncho and you're not Mexican-American, you are guilty by. And who says this, Joe? The trained cultural appropriation is appropriate. Apparently, it's not even a thing. Apparently it is. Wiess that's is that not power? Listen, listen, I covered this yesterday. Clearly, the trained cultural appropriation couldn't get a real job, an accountant, a lawyer, a police officer, a military officer, an enlisted person who couldn't get a real job, create a company, create a tech platform because they don't have any real talents.

So they will never obtain power and authority through merit and a meritocracy because they're losers. So they find themselves obtaining power and declaring themselves cultural appropriation is whether de facto or de jure. And now they have power. They find a picture of Joe Armacost when he was playing with his rock band in the 60s and 70s, they find Joe in a poncho. Oh, my gosh, he better be cancelled from the damp genos show. He clearly appropriated Mexican culture.

And you're like, wait, what? But as Victor Davis Hanson points out, if you happen to be a Mexican-American or Mexican and you wear a tuxedo, that's not cultural appropriation. Well, those are those rules because those rules don't seem to make sense. If you're taking something from someone's culture and that's a moral sin, then how is it not taking from other people's culture? Because they're not serious rules. They're powerplays by losers. Who only get power through weaponization of language, identity politics and cancer culture, they can't get power through traditional means because they're losers.

Do you want to see another group of people who unbelievably not only come into power but are running companies these days? What are you talking about? The CEO, the CFO, the CFO? No, no, I'm not talking about any of that. These are the people who really run companies, the diversity czars from Victor Davis and last place. But from this diversity, equity and inclusion, this triad is almost always used in corporate, professional and academic administrative titles such as in the Dean Director or Provost Joe of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

These are valuable positions, folks. Known more commonly by their familiar, abbreviated sobriquet of diversity TSAs, these are such coveted billets that they're usually immune from budget cuts and economic belt tightening fire the CEO. But don't you dare get rid of the diversity czar. Often such a newly created czar. Positions are subsidized in times of protests and financial duress by increasing the reliance on exploited, part time, low paid workers by either cutting or freezing their hours, benefits or salaries.

So the logic, logic, dreaded air quotes the logic of the left, which is totally illogical, is this let's pay six and sometimes seven figures to a diversity czar in our company immune from any budget cuts while we fire the people who are actually doing the work at the lower end of the income scale while claiming to fight and champion for lower income folks and minority folks. And to the left, this makes perfect sense. Page seven and six high six figures to your diversity czar while firing the people, actually doing the work who aren't making a tenth or a hundredth of that to the left.

This makes perfect sense. Perfect sense. They are the last people to go. And shame on the cowards in corporate America doing this to. Now. I had a lead up with that. Exposé on council culture using Victor's piece. Because it explains perfectly and I avoid these stories like the plague, because you've seen so much of it and I really don't like the pile on, I don't people do stupid stuff. A lot of people are just. Dumb, I mean, a lot of and most of those people happen to be liberals, the overwhelming majority of dumb people are, in fact liberal because to be a liberal requires you to lose logic and reason and your ability to think so by nature, tautologically, only stupid people would be liberal.

So I don't like to pile on, but this story, I'm sorry, was just too good to pass up even Paula. Look at The New York Post. You know, the actor Alec Baldwin, you know, the guy was always yelling at people and stuff. I mean, listen, I got a bad temper, too, so who am I to say. But Alec's got he's beat me. I've got like four or five total temper tantrums and he's got like twenty two.

So Alec Baldwin, the infamous actor, is married to a woman by the name of Hilaria Baldwin. Why am I laughing, because that's not actually her name. Look at this New York Post article on my newsletter today, Bungeni that newsletter. It's not just her name. Hilaria Baldwin's Entire Life is a fake by Maureen Callahan at The New York Post. So what's the deal with this, by the way, Quixtar about Alec Baldwin? This is not a very bright guy.

I sat next to him once when I was in my prior line of work doing a detail for Hillary Clinton at the US Open at the US Open Tennis. I'm sitting there watching Hillary Clinton. He sits right next to me. It's in a photo that was in the news day. And he looks at my watch and he says, hey, is that a Madondo? What the hell's a Madondo? You mean a Movado? It was like a cheap Movado.

Oh, Madondo. Just don't say anything. Do what's a Manado? Is that even a watch? This is not a Banan, though. It's a venturer. And there is no Madondo. And I don't know what a Madondo is. This is not a smart guy, Mr. Menander, but he married a woman who apparently is not that bright either because she's been telling people forever that she has some kind of Spanish culture. She was born in my Yorka Spain, and her name is Hilaria Baldwin.

Hilaria. Now, my wife is actually Colombian from Colombia, is a native Spanish speaker first, and I promise you she is never in her life, said. Dan, my name is Payo Leeta, but she's never said that. Matter of fact, when I first met her, she was very. No, no. Remember this, Paula? She did. We had this conversation because she said to me, you know, in Colombia, a lot of people say payola.

And here it's just Paula, it's the Anglicized version. But she's right. That's actually. But that's her name. She never faked it. She never said it's Payo. Lea tells me. Oh, Itoh. But she never faked her name. I y because my wife's a normal person, but apparently hilarious. Baldwin Who goes by Hilaria. Her actual name, Joe. Oh. Get ready. Hillary Obama's actual name is Hillary Hanwood, Thomas Heyward Thomas, as I knew you were.

I don't even. I know, do you? So I was just but I know it's so hilarious. Baldwin's real name is Hillary Haywood. Thomas. She is not, in fact, from my yorka Spain. She was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, I guess, and went to school in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Hey, this is very lovey Thurston hollowly from Gilligan's Island for all the younger that now Hilary Hayward, Thomas, who goes by hilarious Balwinder or hilarious Baldwin. Here is a video of who she now admits she is, quote, a white girl, her words, not mine. She admits that an Instagram video. Thanks. I really don't care. I'm going explain to you why she did this in a minute in relationship to the Victor Davis Hanson article. So we don't just do what everybody in the news do and just regurgitate.

Jack, I have heard the hellebore. Now, there's a reason behind this, I promise. But we do need a little humor because this story is unintentionally hilarious. Here is a video from what is it? The Today Show, some of Hillary a Hillary Hayward, Thomas Baldwin on The Today Show or something doing like a cooking segment. Keep in mind, this woman is as white as white out on paper. Her name is Hillary Harewood Thomas. Here is her faking a faddish Spanish accent and pretending to not know how to say cucumber in English.

This is but this is real is not a joke. Check this out.

Few ingredients, man. Tomatoes we have. Lead poisoning to cucumbers, we have red cheese. How how you say in English now, what is she doing? I know, I know the stunt she pulled my friend Andy from growing up. He was all about stunts. That was his thing. Stunts this kid was all about. Am I talk about Evel Knievel stunts, joke about screwing you over stunts. The kid was all about stunts. Here's the stunt she pulls here.

Hilarious, Bob. If you've ever been around like I have, because my wife is actually Colombian, like one hundred percent Colombian, like all Colombian native, Spanish speaker, Colombian. Bor, actually born in Columbia and there told she was I was 11, I always say nine, let's stay with nine because I'm stuck with that story forever and I always mess it up. She says 11. I'm saying nine. OK, but with my mother in law who I love dearly, learned English later in life, my wife learned it around 11 when she came here.

So my wife, if you've ever met her, has no accent in either language. She speaks perfectly fluid, fluent English, perfectly fluent Spanish. She is as bilingual as bilingual gets. One hundred percent, my mother in law is not as bilingual, she learned English later in life with a lot of flaws. And when Spanish speakers learn English like anyone who learns a foreign language, the first thing they do is they don't think in pictures they translate from the language they know.

I speak Spanish terribly, by the way, off. But I and so what I do is I translate. So when I see. A computer. If I'm thinking in English, I use a computer in my head, I have my computer, if I want to translate that, the Spanish, the first thing I do is I take the English word and I translate it in my head rather than thinking in pictures. If you know another you know exactly what I'm talking about, you translate first before you become fluent.

The direct translation of Como CDC, which in Spanish is how do you say something? Say these, say and whatever you want to. So that it's the literal translation is how you say, well, how would one say Como CDC? So when Spanish speakers who learn later in life like my mother in law want to learn, want to know how to say something in English, sometimes she'll still say she has to do it much anymore. And now she knows instead of.

How do you say she says how you say Hilaria Baldwin must have spent some time around Spanish speakers to learn English and pick that up. And can you play that again and incorporate it to try to pretend she was a Spanish speaker who would learn English, play it again, listen to how she doesn't use ingredients and tomatoes.

We have a cucumber, cucumbers.

We have how you say in English you that it's a stunt, it's a bad one. It gets even worse. On the Hilaria Baldwin front, Hilary Hilary hematomas Thomas Ball. Not only is she trying to pretend she's a Spanish speaker who learned English by replicating common errors from people who learn as a second language. I do it in Spanish all the time. I translate directly with the Styrofoam a story. The word for Styrofoam in Spanish is eco por. That's I'm in Columbia, not with my wife, I'm doing a protection mission with Jenna Bush and we were on a boat and we needed a cooler for water.

So I didn't know how to say it. So I said I you know, the case, the pilots box, is that right? I'm like, you know, out of Styrofoam, everybody started laughing. Everybody was like, oh, what an idiot, Styrofoam. But that's what you do.

You just try to translate stuff. I didn't know. I just made it up. She's just making this up because she heard it from someone. This gets better. Here's another video of her, she's on a podcast claiming now notice how she's muted the Spanish accent a little bit. She's kind of losa claiming she moved here at 19 from Spain. Check this out.

I moved here when I was 19 to go to NYU. I run from my family lives in Spain and then my younger, OK. So, yeah, that would make sense.

You wouldn't know that pop culture I, I knew know I know no pop culture anywhere now I'm better, but I knew pop culture.

So she moved here 19. She had no idea who Alec Baldwin was because she doesn't know pop culture except for the fact that she's Hillary hematomas from Cambridge, Massachusetts. I love this line when you meet famous people and they cover in that New York Post piece, by the way, apparently our first line to Alec Baldwin, probably in a Spanish accent, was how you say, I don't know who you are. Her first line to Alec Baldwin was and you do what?

She knew exactly who he was. She was trying to pretend to be someone else. OK, why I'm sorry we don't do this stuff often, but this story is even Joe right before the show. Maybe we'll put it was showing me some pictures in the year of our high school pictures at Cambridge. She's in the pictures like she thinks she wasn't going to get caught. So what's going on here? Folks, there's two reasons here, people do things like this.

One, it's a byproduct of our council culture and where we live now and the power of victimization. Remember, the left needs to create new enemies to act like they're the protectors. And if you are the protectors of this new class of enemies, people who use the wrong words, then you are exalted. You gain exalted status. So no one. Their safety in this. My wife joked about it yesterday, she's actually Colombian. She's like, oh, I guess I'm safe then.

There's safety in it if you are a minority and a victimized class, even though nobody can prove you've been victimized, some people can. There are cases, obviously, again, of racism. But even if you've suffered no noticeable racism, that has impacted you deeply outside of some stupidity in your entire life by claiming that status falsely. That you have some Spanish heritage, you are then in a protected class, and because the left's theory, which is illogical, that racism requires power.

So therefore, if you're in a minority group, you can't be racist. Gives you a level of protection, so if you happen to be black or Hispanic and you use words, epithets for white people, you all know what they are and we don't need to repeat them on the show.

You've heard the. There are epithets for white people that can't be racist because you're a minority group and according to the left's logic or illogic, you have no power. So that can't be right. It's racist by definition. You're judging someone who's white partially by using an epithet because of their skin color. But no, no, according to the left's perverse definition of racism, if you're a minority, you have no power. So you can never be racist.

Ladies and gentlemen, can you imagine the safety in that? You will never be subjected to cancel culture as Ilaria Baldwin because you're a minority from Spain. Can you imagine the safety and security? Oh, my gosh, I'm not kidding. You can never be accused of racism in your entire life and be cancelled. That's a lot of power. But what's the second reason she probably did what she did? Like others have, because she's not the only example, Rachel Dolezal, Jessica Kruger, the examples are everywhere.

Their status in. Think about how powerful it is to falsely claim you're a member of a minority group, number one, you're safe your entire life from charges of racism. As long as you're not a conservative, then they'll just throw the rules out. But secondly, you gain exalted status because you are not only a victim as a condition of being a minority, but if you are then an anti-racist out there, calling out everyone else is racist. You gain exalted status as a warrior.

The castle culture left. I'm not joking. Why would you not do that? You're safe from any charges of cancer culture while becoming a lieutenant in the cancer culture movement, getting promoted in the cancer culture movement and gaining exalted status. Frankly, folks. I'm stunned. More people in Hollywood don't do this. I'm I'm actually stunned that the whitest white folks out there, Jessica Chastain and others, don't randomly just say, hey, yeah, I'm black or Hispanic.

Why would you. I candidly, this was a stupid decision. Do you blame her? Probably thought she'd never get caught. Sad stuff, folks. All right, I got so much more to get to. You know what? We cover this one. Let me see. I got something I can cover quick here. I'm sorry to skip ahead. Yeah, one must be committed, a red state story, this other stuff I'm going to have to hope for tomorrow, I got really good stuff and Marlies give you a teaser tomorrow.

Cancel culture and coronaviruses science. What I don't want to find too much and I've got I warned you I got a story for tomorrow is going to cover today. It's going to take a while. I warned you. Did I not show for years now about the threat of digital currency taking out paper circulation and negative interest rates? Feel like what that sounds really. No, no, no. As trust me, you're going to love this story. About what?

Chinese. I warned you it's in Iraq, but China is doing right now. Let me get this red state story, because, you know, I love attacking the tech tyrant's monopoly on our minds. Finally, there's a country doing something about this text here and your story be up in the newsletter today again, but you know that consolation newsletter. Check it out by the great folks at Red State. Mike Miller, Polan, just stop big tech censorship in it, in its tracks with a single shot.

We can do the same polling leading the way here. What happened, folks, many of you sadly out there, you know, obviously, I'm an investor in Parler and Rumbold disclosure I have to do, it's just the appropriate. But, you know, Twitter, Facebook and others will either fact check or take you off the platforms if you, God forbid, speak outside of the left this coded language and cancel culture rules. What if there was a way?

To sue them every time they took that up. Oh, my gosh, that would be absolutely crazy. Poland's doing this right now. Check this out. Not a joke. This is from Red State. So the justice minister in Poland, quote, announced the legal initiative earlier this month aimed at enabling Internet users to file complaints against the removal of online posts, as well as the creation of a special court for freedom of speech. Here it goes from this other piece.

Under its provisions, social media services will not be allowed to remove content or block accounts if the content on them does not break Polish law. Wow, genius. In the event of a removal or blockage, a complaint can be sent to the platform, which has twenty four hours to consider it. Within 48 hours of the decision, the user will be able to file a petition to the court for return of access. The court will consider complaints within seven days of receipt and the entire process is to be electronic folks.

These fines will be substantial to these tech companies in Poland if they take your content down and you didn't violate any laws. Polan. Leading the way. Interesting. Folks, I'm an investor in these companies, I got to tell you, that's an interesting idea. If you're not breaking any laws and these companies discriminate against you by pulling down your posts because the language is offensive, a lot of language is offensive. People do offensive things all the time, like like copying a Spanish accent.

Is that how you say that's kind of offensive now? You don't see me calling for hilarious Baldwin to be pulled down from Instagram, writing the. Stupidity is a part of life there, stupid people everywhere. We should learn from them. That's an interesting idea. Read the piece, it's really good rested up in our newsletter today.
