Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.

So the Inequality Act has passed the House, the Inequality Act. What are you talking about? You mean the Equality Act? No, no, no. You could call it the Equality Act, but it's actually the Inequality Act. How long before it's going to be illegal for you to go to church? I'm just I'm just wondering now that the House has passed the Inequality Act, which will make it basically illegal to practice your own religion in some respects and will make it legal to discriminate, discriminate against people of faith.

I'm just wondering I'm just wondering how long you find yourself in bracelet's and I don't mean like fancy bracelets. I mean like handcuff bracelets for going to church. Is that next? Oh, that'll never happen here, then I got that story also enough talk about fixing elections. I saw a great article in the Daily Signal about what we need to do to actually fix elections like things we can do on the ground right now to reestablish our faith in our constitutional republic.

Meat and potatoes stuff. Really good piece. And. We will end today with I'd like to do a hero of the day on Friday, but today, sadly, is the villain of the day.

Yes, that I did not not going to allow this to happen to ago again in your worst nineteen sixties game show voice show, our everyday Friday thing or every Friday thing. That's a day that same Friday. Please start off the show tonight.

It's Friday. Yet we can't start a Friday show without that taping a little early today because we had it down to CPAC later the Conservative Political Action Conference to set the world on fire with a speech down there, hopefully. What am I going to talk about? I don't know. We'll figure it out in the car on the way up. There was always something in my head. Let's start out with this. I don't want to be in that. We're going to end the show with what's up?

Yeah. Politics there. And I mean, give me a little test there. I wonder what's going on. I screw up like the end of yesterday's show. If I a if you missed the end yesterday show. Watch that again. I was almost canceled myself in the Bungeni house yesterday, but we're going to end the show with the villain of the day today. So I just wanted to start off and we kind of are these are these videos even real anymore?

We played that video yesterday of that person singing her white privilege song. There's another one that's made the rounds on social media. I'm not even real. Ah, this is a big joke on America. There's only two options here. Here's another one. This is a different person, a different white person. I'm clamoring and singing on about how racist they are, which is do you want to claim to want that to be your claim to fame? You go right ahead.

I'm out of that one. That's your bag of donuts. Right. But there's only two options. Write this down. OK, so don't forget option one. These videos are real and the world is, in fact ending. So it's all over. So don't worry, it's the apocalypse. The Four Horsemen of the apocalypse are coming and it's all over. That's option one, Joe, that these videos are real and it's all coming to an end because if they are real, the world is clearly and we have reached peak stupid volcanic levels of stupid and there's no turning back.

This is in the apocalypse is on us. It's over our option to. These people realize like this is sounds really dumb, they realize this stuff is for clowns and it's all a joke on us, there's no option. So check this out. Here's another video of a white schoolteacher woman singing about, I guess, how racist people are or whatever. Check this out.

If you don't believe that there is white privilege, please don't teach. If you don't believe the Black Lives Matter, please don't teach. If you don't believe in systemic racism and how it negatively impacted students of color and don't want to help dismantle those systems, please don't teach.

Yes, please don't. Don't don't teach a note. I mean, you the person singing that song, we're begging. Please, please this. That's got to be a joke. That can't be real. This can't be. Or if this is real, seriously, the survival food is not going to help you with the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Joe, they're on their horses right now and they are riding double time and headed right for us because there's no saving us at that point.

All right.

I kind of Jesus, in the beginning of the show, folks, I want to get to a very important story. The ridiculously named Equality Act has passed the House of Representatives. It will be forever referred to on this show as the Equality Act, because what the Inequality Act does is it legalizes discrimination against Christians, people of faith. You know, all the evil Christians out there, you know all of us. I love Jesus Christ always. I mean that he is my lord and savior, your religion, your thing, that's mine, whatever.

But how long before it is illegal? That would be to be a Christian. That's never going to happen. This is America, really, because we're going down that dangerous path really, really quick. We all thought it was OK to be a conservative due to a few years ago. We all got cancer from Twitter and Facebook at the same time. Right. We never thought that would happen either. Here's a great article in The Federalist. You have to read this important stuff, folks.

This policy happening right now. There's still a chance to stop this disaster in the United States Senate. The Federalist by Christopher Bedford. Blessings of Liberty, How the Equality Act viciously attacks Christians, Freedom, Society, Sex and you. So what is the Equality Act know from this point forward? Is the Inequality Act and. What does it actually, let's go to this screenshot from the photos. This is happening right now. This is happening right now right under your nose.

While we're all distracted by people like Liz Cheney, who's worried about Trump's tweets or whatever. The Federalist, the act, which the House is expected to pass, it did pass by the way this was written before it for the second time in nine months, by the way, House passed before sending out to the now Democratic Senate, opens up swinging on Christians, as well as most religious concepts of morality and marriage, sex and identity. It would strike biological sex from the 1964 Civil Rights Act, replacing it with, quote, sexual orientation and gender identity.

Paula wasn't a racist sexual orientation. Joe, I don't want to get off track here, but didn't remember the dictionary. Com Didn't we discuss that a few weeks ago? He was it was it Mazie Hirono who said that was like racist or homophobic or. It's the phobia was right. I I'm not crazy. This is crazy. I got it. In the actual belief in traditional marriage the act would legislate is a specific example of illegal discrimination.

It's all all happening right, right now, while we're all distracted by Liz Cheney, who's worried about. Trump's tweets and stuff. So what would be the effect of changing the 1964 Civil Rights Act to gender identity where? You basically just say, hey, man, you know, I feel I feel like a woman or I feel like a man when I'm a woman or a woman who feels like men, what would be the effect of that will be the effect of changing the Civil Rights Act to legislate all this stuff instead of letting private citizens make their own.

Informed adult opinions about how they feel about gender identity, how we can't have that, the left loves to talk about choice as long as it's their choice, not yours. You will comply with the left, of course. So here's an interesting side effect of what may happen if this happens to pass the Senate outside of the fact that practicing your faith could be potentially illegal. Here's an interesting example from the Federalist piece, quote. Salons, too, will not be able to, quote, discriminate based on biology, opening the door in the United States for the Canadian nightmare, where Jessica Yanov, a man who identifies as a woman while still being attracted to women.

Women sued to force a female nail salon employee to wax his private parts. You don't have to be a woman to understand the level of sexual assault implicit in an adult man demanding a woman handle his private parts for money or risk the force of law. That's a real story, by the way. Now, yes, it is policy. No, it is, it's a real story all coming here, all coming here to the United States. All happening under our noses, so, you know, I always have an ask on the show because this is a show directed towards action.

I'm an action guy. I'm and actually I'm I talk. But if talk doesn't motivate action, then don't bother. I ran for office. I did. And I threw my name on a ballot. I've done all the stuff. I'm there. I need your help. Get on the phone with your senators today, real simple phone call, real simple email. You know who they are, everybody's got two of them. If you live in one of the 50 states, therefore for the purposes of this, you know, people that matter.

Get him on the get them on the blower, get them on the email and just say, hey, daddio, where do we stand on the Inequality Act? Because that doesn't sound so good to me. You know, I go to church and I have traditional values, and that's great, whatever values you may have, it's a free country. I respect that. But I don't need the law, the law, the long arm of the law telling me how I should feel about things.

We have this whole thing called freedom, liberty, choice, all old, antiquated ideas. But I don't really feel like being told in a salon who I need to put my hands on and who not to then sound right. Well, Chip Roy, who's. And some pretty good moments. He's a congressman from Texas, Chip Roy was talking on the House steps about this and him in the Freedom Caucus are some of the few principled Republicans left their.

Chip Roy, kind of I mean, it's in a good way, not a bad, but kind of lost it a little bit on the house steps about the Inequality Act was like, nah, I'm not really digging that. Like, I work really hard to send my kids to a private Catholic school to, you know, imbue upon them Christian Catholic values. I don't really need the government telling me how I can and can't practice my religion. We have that whole obstacle.

Joe Shocker called the First Amendment. I know liberals haven't read it or anything like that. And this will probably get thrown out in court even if it passes. But who knows? The courts are so bad these days, you don't know. Here's Chip Roy laying the smackdown. We need more of this.

This is a government using its power to tell us to bow down to the will of a cultural elite in this town who want to tell us what we're supposed to believe. We're not going to do that. Let me be clear, we are not going to do that. My wife and I work very hard products of the public school system K through law school. Both of us. Tip scraped and saved to pay our kids to go to a private Christian school.

Why? Because we're being pushed into the corner. So that we can carry out our beliefs without penalty. Ostracization. That this body now wants to do the Speaker, Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and the Democrat leaders want to do. We're not going to be painted in the corner because this is about tyranny over the mind of man. Yeah, yeah, it is. It's exactly what it's about. Tyranny over the minds of men. Pretty famous quote. He's right.

Listen for the liberals on a serious note, who listen to my show, I know you don't do it deliberately, deliberately. It's probably your college roommate who's a conservative, has it on awfully loud just to annoy you. But you may be listening right now. I hope you're annoyed.

Just as for you, this is directed at you. You don't have the right in a free society to not be offended. Do you know that? Do you understand that? Listen to what I just told you. Take the cotton out of your ears for a moment and jam it in your mouth and listen to what I'm telling you. You do not have the right to not be offended. Do you understand that? That applies to me as well. There are lifestyles and things you do as liberals in your life that deeply offend me deeply, but I don't have the right to legislate against you, so you can't offend me.

I have constitutional rights you cannot infringe upon. There are court systems and laws to prevent that contract law, illegal activity can't just come and beat me up because you don't like what I'm doing. All. Strong components of a free society, but institutions and structures to preserve freedom, but in a free society, you don't have the right to not have your feelings hurt. Do you understand that? You've chosen a separate lifestyle separate from people of faith you don't like and you don't like, people have faith in their lifestyle, find you, do you?

We do we no problem. The only problem here is when you you start coming for we we and start demanding we not offend you under penalty of law. Maybe you offend us. Does that ever occur to you? Maybe you offend us and we you don't know. You don't offend us because we don't care. Because you do you. And we actually believe in civil liberties and civil rights and your ability to do you and therefore we don't try to infringe upon.

Are you doing you fear of you doing Younus? But you keep creeping over into our sphere. You don't like our churches, stay out, we don't care. I don't care, you don't like the church I go to. Don't go. Nobody misses you. Do you understand? No one misses you. There is no one in a homily clamoring for you. Liberal snowflakes to show up in mass. Don't go. That's you. That is your choice.

I don't go to your liberal snowflake convention conventions either. What is it, Paletta Roots or whatever it is, Netroots Nation? Why do I not go? Because I don't care. And there are liberals and there I don't want to get assaulted and beaten to death. That's the safest place on earth for a liberal. Is CPAC the most dangerous place in all three? Conservative is the netroots place or whatever. You will probably be verbally assaulted by multiple people when you walk in.

Just do you you don't have the right to not be offended. Who told you that? Now to the liberal kid in the dorm room listening because the college conservative kid and thank you, college conservative, for playing this extra loud. Your liberal friends really annoyed right now because that's the first time he's ever heard that or she read.

I have to right not to be triggered, you do Hutu to Hutus, who told you that? Hutu? I don't know. Who told you that? Your snowflake. Mom and dad. A noose for their idiots to. They don't have to tell them to read the Constitution, there's not a First Amendment one sub one, two, three, subsection B six, two point five that says and by the way, you have the right to not be offended.

That doesn't exist. All right, let me get to my second sponsor today and I want to move on and talk, how do we really fix elections? I got that interesting little FBI note. I called it in my book. And can we call this the economics for liberal section that is good, and I don't forget the villain of the day at the Today Show, bunch of our friends at The Daily Wire, the Hollywood elite, refused to produce this film because it didn't fit their political agenda.

The Daily Wire. They don't do censorship. They don't do that. So now you can stream a terrific movie. I've seen it run, hide, fight. It's getting tremendous reviews. Stream it where a daily wire at daily Wired.com, daily wired.com. That's daily Wired.com. Get that right. Run Hide Fight follows the story of Zoe Hall, a high school senior whose school comes under siege by four gun toting students. Take a look. Get down on the ground any more friends back there?

Is it safe to say that this might be our guardian angel? You have no idea who you're dealing with. Isn't it ironic that after all your hard work, people aren't going to remember you? No, they're going to hurt me. All right, now you want to see it, right? Well, how do you do that? Daily wire subscribers, you can stream, run, hide, fight today at daily Wired.com for free.

So enough chatter here. How do we really fix elections going forward? It's something a lot of you were concerned about. It consistently. Rates is one of the top issues for Republicans. And I've been trying to get I've been doing a lot of homework and I've been trying to gather information and give you one article where it's all kind of nailed down a template on how to fix elections so we can all have faith in them.

Again, you know, a crazy idea out there like faith and fidelity in our election process. Crazy. I'm being sarcastic, of course, because the left doesn't care about any of this stuff anymore. Here's a great piece in the daily signal. It'll be up at the show notes, by the way, with that Federalist article, the access to show notes, the newsletter. It's the same thing, very simple. Go to Bongino Dotcom Slash newsletter, please subscribe.

That way we can communicate directly to you, get you these terrific articles. Hans von Spakovsky is a brilliant man, a friend of mine. I go way back with his super smart guy. I'm telling you, there isn't a person on the planet who knows more about elections and election fraud than Hans von Spakovsky. And he's got a really cool name that he's really super smart with. That name makes him sound super, super smart. He is. He's a genius.

Here's his article, The Daily Signal Worth Your Time. Nine Election Reform States Can Implement to prevent mistakes in voter fraud. I'm not going to get to every one of them, but I'm going to touch on a few gems in here that could fix this broken election process. Stat today if we just had people with the companies to do it and to push for this. Here's number one simple stuff. Verify the accuracy of the voter registration list. What a crazy idea.

Well, how? He says, quote, Computerized statewide voter registration lists should be designed to be interoperable so they can communicate seamlessly with other state record databases to allow frequent exchanges and comparisons of information. For example, here's a simple one when an individual changes the residence address on his or her driver's license, that information should be sent to state election officials so that the voter registration address of the individual is also changed to his or her new DMV residence address.

Why is this hard? I don't understand why that's hard. Why is that hard? Why can't we? We have a four trillion dollar government, trillion for trillion dollar government, it is the biggest. Business in the world, the business of government, even though it's not run like a business, it's the biggest business in the history of the world. And you can't figure out a way in the states to make sure that when someone changes their address, it gets changed in a voter reg database to why is that hard again?

Can someone please explain? I don't want to dwell too much on any one of them, but here's another one again, Joe. Not complicated. How about we do this crazy one, verify the citizenship of voters? Oh, wow. Who would have thought of that? I mean, only lawful citizens can vote in federal elections. States should, quote, therefore require proof of citizenship to register to vote. And what I don't know what about this is hard.

Is there something I'm missing, maybe it's me just. Just a small town. I actually live in a small town, and I like to say that this is a small town guy in Glendale, small that not really and does actually like shaking her head. No, just a small town cat. Maybe I should sing a country song about something like that, you know, everybody from a country songs from a small town doesn't really work for me. I'm not a good singer either, especially in country.

But I'm just kind of confused as a fake small town guy, like why verifying the citizenship of voters is really a difficult, difficult task. So if we had interoperable databases, if we verified the citizenship of our voters. And then we did number three, we required voter I.D.. Here's another one. Very complicated for the liberals listening, they'll throw out some ridiculously racist thing, guarantee your liberal friend listening in the dorm room right now is like voter I.D. My black friends won't be able to figure that out.

And you as a conservative, you should probably like that. That's kind of racist, dude. It's actually pretty, pretty racist. No, you just throw that out there. Yeah. What did you always do on the race? The scale of one to 10? What did you give them? Like a nine point seven to. Yeah. Some Latin attan between there. Somewhere around there. Yeah.

I mean, nine point eight hundred. That's that state's voter ID. Not not hard I assure you. Your friends who are black and Hispanic, I promise you, my wife's Hispanic. She figures it out. No problem. It's not hard. I know you believe because you're a racist white liberal that blacks and Hispanics can't figure things out because you're a racist, white liberal. But I promise you, voter ID is not complicated. Go to your wallet, extract wallet from pocket open, said wallet, take out license device, show to person.

This is not hard. I know your liberal dorm room guy is sitting there going, that's discriminatory. The first question to him, why is that discriminatory? Because black people can't figure it out. Dude, that sounds super racist. Should be the first line coming out of your mouth. Interoperable databases verify citizenship, voter ID seems pretty straightforward to me, Jonah. Now they do that tomorrow maybe. Right. Here's another couple gems and we'll have to move on if you want to read all of them.

Check out this great article. My show notes that, again, Hans von Spakovsky, not only a smart guy, but a smart sounding guy, too. Here's another couple of gems.

Limit absentee ballots. Absentee ballots should be reserved for those individuals who are too disabled to vote in person who will be out of town on Election Day and all early voting days. Pretty straightforward. No, I mean, I showed you no less than four or five, six times how The New York Times in 2012 did a big exposé on how mail in ballots are twice as likely to be rejected for all kinds of reasons than people who show up on voting day and vote in person.

So why would we incentivize using a system of mail in ballots where even The New York Times themselves has repeatedly acknowledged are more prone to fraud error and being rejected? Why would we do that? Maybe because you benefit from rejections and frauds and confusion, I don't know why else would you not want to fix that? It's a problem. Let's fix it.

Here's an important one, though. A very important one. We have got to stop this disaster known as ballot harvesting now Hans von Spakovsky has a better name for it. He calls it vote trafficking. I like that. Prevent vote trafficking, vote trafficking. Also called vote harvesting or ballot harvesting by third party should be banned. Yes. Amen. Brother Hohns. That would ensure that candidates, campaign staffers, party activists and political consultants are prohibited from picking up and potentially mishandling or changing absentee ballots and pressuring or coercing vulnerable voters in their homes.

How ballot harvesting. In other words, a third party going out and collecting votes. That's not an election official. How that's even a thing is stunning. How is that allowed unlisted point of personal privilege? I hate the personal stories, but it's important. I spent a lot of my life in law enforcement. If you were going to prosecute someone in a trial and you're going to use evidence, say you're going to use this TV remote control, this is for this monitor we have over there.

We always have on doing the show case, you see crazy lights on my face. That's what that is. Right. So this remote, whatever was used to beat someone to death be hard. But who knows? Let's just play the game for a minute. This was used to beat someone to death, this dreaded remote, maybe the pointy thing or whatever. If this was evidence and you show up as a law enforcement officer at the scene and you see the evidence, the dreaded bloody remote.

Right. Get an evidence bag. You you put gloves on so you don't taint the evidence or you pick it up with some kind of thing where you're not touching the whole thing. You go put it in the bag and you sign the chain of custody and you get it right to the lab. Joe, do you think it's appropriate to give it to the guy outside at the hot dog stand who gives it to the guy in the bagel store who hands it to the upside and mail it through the evidence lab?

Would you do that now? That's a big no, Dan. OK, thank you, Joe. You are not a police officer, so you have no law enforcement training. We know. Just just. No, OK, thank you. But Joe's a smart guy and figured out that that's probably not a good idea to introduce additional variables into the process, the variables bringing being bagel store guy, hot dog, stand guy and UPS guy. So why would we introduce another variable into the most sacred process?

We have voting by allowing people who aren't voters and not voting officials and election officials to handle ballots. Why would we do that again? Maybe someone's interested in a middleman, a middleman who creates a variable. Why else would you defend it if you aren't interested in. Makes you think? Read that article, the whole article. It's really, really good and it is worth your time, I promise you. You know what? Let me get to my I'm just getting my third sponsor.

First we got we got a few sponsors, and we always appreciate the time. I want to get to that in the other side of this. I want to get this FBI note that's emerged. Just a quick Spygate update again, because more stuff is coming out. And no, I'm not letting it go because that's what the left wants. Move on when talking about this forever. Nothing's going to happen. I don't care. The truth is going to happen.

That's what's going to happen today. Show brought to you by yourself. Try irritated red blotchy skin all over your face. It won't go away. That's not good. Struggling with stress breakouts and uneven skin tone. You don't want that either. All gone thanks to Statik. Deep correcting serum by Sharmini.

We appreciate it. But in my last book, I had a chapter on the set up of Mike Flynn, Lieutenant General Mike Flynn, and one of the most disgusting episodes in American history, the abuse of law enforcement to frame and set up a decorated lieutenant general, Michael Flynn. Now, here it is. It all comes out again. Talked about it in my book, called it. I've actually spoke to Svetlana Linkov about this. Here's a little FBI note that emerged the other day in this new declassification of documents.

This is just really weird. So it talks about how the FBI spy, everybody in the left says doesn't exist. Spygate, if a conspiracy theory there was no spy. No, no. This guy was paid by the FBI to go and engage in spy behavior on the Trump campaign. But the set up of Mike Flynn and how it went down, ladies and gentlemen, is a spy tale for idiots. And for the ages that you need to be aware, Barack Obama hated Mike Flynn.

We are cool on that. He hasn't heard this story yet. So maybe it's new to him. Joe, you've heard it a thousand times. Maybe, but it's important. Obama hated Mike Flynn. Mike Flynn was his President Obama's DIA director, Defense Intelligence Agency. Mike Flynn was one of the highest ranking intelligence officials in the country under the Obama administration. Why did Obama hate Flynn? Because Flynn. When am I doing fun stuff, something with the Iran deal, she's going to be like something wrong.

OK. I'm fine. It was a joke. Flinders, like he wasn't really sniffing it, but he smelled something wrong with the Iran deal. Joe, flameless like this Iran deal is not a good idea. You know, I hear them chanting Death to America, the whole nuclear thing. Why exactly are we giving them pallets of cash? Flyn was all over the Iran deal. He understood the disaster would be, therefore, Obama hated him and they had to take Flint out.

So what happened back in August of 2016? We find out that the FBI opens up cases on these Trump campaign members Manafort, Carter Page and George Papadopoulos, but they don't open up a case on Mike Flynn. Somebody got really upset at the FBI. And this FBI spy, as you'll see in this FBI note, confidential human source all of a sudden shows up the day after they don't up and up, open up a case in August of 2016 on Flynn and starts giving up all this information about Mike Flynn that is believed by many confidential human source, otherwise known as a spy, is believed by many to be Steffon helper.

Now, you know, it's weird, he talks about this dinner Mike Flynn was at back in, I believe, 2015, and he says Mike Flynn was at this dinner with this Russian woman, Svetlana Likova, who I know personally. I've spoken to her many times about this exact same event. And it says the otherwise the spy stated that a woman, Svetlana Likova, surprised everyone and got into Seekers'. Mike Flynn, that's CROSSFIRE raiser, that was his codename in the FBI, got into his cab and joined S.R. on the train ride to London.

The CIA has, in other words, the spy recalled that Likova latched on to Flynn when he was at the redacted. Interesting. Interesting why? Because, ladies and gentlemen, none of that ever happened. There were multiple witnesses that Mike Flynn left the event in 2015 separately from Svetlana Likova, who got in a car with her boyfriend, who is already attested to that. So as another DIA official who was at the actual dinner and said, the story is entirely fake.

Do you understand, by the way, a lot of these details are in my last book, Follow the Money, but now it's out and official. We were right again. Unfortunately, I wish we'd be wrong because would mean we weren't living under tyranny right now. And a weaponized FBI and intelligence community. What does that mean? What do they call that, Joe? What do they call that when you didn't do anything wrong? And then someone comes in and sets you up?

We call that. I believe that's called being framed, I guess a fair, fair assessment. We don't need dictionary dot com Ferris's. So just to be clear, a decorated lieutenant general, a patriot and the head of our DIA under Barack Obama was framed because Barack Obama had some political beefs with him. Sounds like what happened. Don't worry, folks, we should all move on, right? I get these emails sometimes from liberals, MoveOn, nothing's going to happen.

No, no, no, I'm not I'm not moving on. I'm not interested in moving on. I'm interested in the truth. And you should be to. The truth matters if there's no penalty for it, I can't I'm not at DOJ, but I can't go lock people up. I'm not an assistant United States attorney, but dammit, I'm going to expose these people over and over and over again until it's drilled into their heads that, no, I'm not going to let any of this go away.

Sorry. Too bad. So sad.

Mike Flynn was frame. It's now clear as day. And the story should be everywhere, it's only the biggest scandal in American history. All right, moving on. This is our economics for liberal section. You know, you got to go slow at them, so get ready, folks. I am. I you know, I wake up every more economics is my passion, I try it. Paula loves the economics part of the show. I try not to do too much of it on the show because I don't want to beat you over the head with it, because if it was up to me, I would do it not figuratively, but literally every day.

But I've got a few pieces here of information you need to know, because as the government is getting ready under Joe Biden and the Democrat controlled House and Senate, effectively get ready to pass another monstrous spending measure. The ignorance of economics out there in the public is so profound by liberals, they just believe things that aren't true. So we're going to go through a few pieces of information one by one. First, we're going to talk about the Trump tax cuts, a thing lied about so often by the liberals that they've actually convinced themselves their lies are true.

So the great Andy Puzder, who I adore, he does some really great work at The Wall Street Journal and his social media accounts are really terrific.

He's responding to this, a liberal, I guess, who says, you know, talking about the Trump tax cuts, giving massive tax cuts to corporations. Joe in the wealthy did exactly as expected, made them richer at the expense of the American economy. Republicans platform is to steal from the middle class to enrich themselves. So, you know, this is a liberal. They don't know anything. Do you understand? I need you to get this through your heads to all my listeners, my friends, everyone.

My family listens. Liberals don't know anything. They don't their whole world is fake. I don't want to call them all stupid, but many of them just are because you're either dumb, because you don't know anything, or you're dumb because you could know something and you refuse to look into it, or you're dumb because you've heard the truth and you still tell yourselves lies. So the big lie about the Trump tax is, oh, my gosh, it's screwed over the middle class and who benefited the rich?

So punsters like, dude, not so much. Here are just the numbers, facts liberals try just for once, please, to digest the fact that a data point. Plus, the response in twenty eighteen, the first year under the Trump tax cuts, the top one percent of taxpayers paid 16 billion dollars more in income taxes. Joe, got that. You're tracking the top one percent, Joe. Those evil wealthy people paid 16 billion more the first year under the Trump tax cuts.

You know, liberals I know this is horrible. Go-slow, the bottom 99 percent paid 80 billion less. Puzder says comically this is the worst tax cut for the rich in history. By the way, income inequality declined two years in a row. Twenty eighteen to twenty nineteen before the play. It doesn't matter. I know this isn't going to make a difference to the liberals, especially liberal college kids in the dorm room, you're listening because the roommate has it up, really, that there's like a full blown fight in that dorm room right now.

Looks like that new kid and the other guy who got in a fight. Have you seen that video, by the way, fellas? Listen, don't ever get into a fight in a bathroom. Not good, you know. Guys, miss, if you know what I mean, the floor is not the place to be grappling in a bathroom, in a crowded bar. I'm just throwing that out there. If you've seen a video, you know what I'm talking about.

But liberal college kid in the dorm room. Even though I just gave you the facts that the top one percent of earners paid more in taxes while the bottom 99 percent paid less. I know that doesn't matter to you because you'll just lie to yourself anyway. The top five percent they got over on me. They paid more, you guys you guys paid you guys paid less. How do they get over on you again? Can you can you please explain that to me?

I mean, rationally, you put them up, you step outside the insanity box for a moment. So when our economics for liberal segment here today just gave you some hard data on the Trump tax cuts, because that's going to come up again as Joe Biden tries to institute a tax hike. Second, here's a video from Katie Porter. A just dreadfully ignorant House of Representatives member on the Democrat side thinks she's smart. She gets talking points from her staff, really knows very little about anything.

Here's Katie Porter. Here's a video of her on MSNBC. Katie Porter, the staff wasn't here to rescue her on the segment, apparently needs a math lesson as she tries Joe to make the point that if you dare fight against a fifteen dollars an hour minimum wage, you want people to starve to death and you are pulling food right out of their mouths because she hasn't had a math lesson. Yeah, I know what horrible people we are. Check this out.

Here's the dreadfully ignorant Katie Porter making a fool of herself again on MSNBC, showing how she desperately needs a math lesson. Check it out. It translates very directly. And we have research showing this, that when you raise the wage, when you give a low income family more money, the first thing that they do is they buy more nutritious food and they buy food. They stop going hungry at the end of the month or between paychecks. So this is going to directly translate into improved living conditions, the ability to pay rent, to keep a roof over your head, to reduce homelessness, to be able to put food on the table.

That's what low income families, minimum wage workers do when they get a hike in the rates. And we hear people opposing the minimum wage. I think we have to call them out. There are literally opposing people being able to feed themselves after a hard day's work.

Joe? Yes, Joe noticed the misuse again, which, you know, is my pet peeve of the word. Literally, if you oppose it, you literally want people to starve and die, to die right there on the spot. No eating ever. No eating for you. Like the soup cat from the Seinfeld of a no no food for you, no food for you. Polish to eat at that place. You know, the soup guy, whatever you.

Now, you ruined my thing, she ate there she is, she's just lying. Thank you, chef. I thought she did. Seriously, she worked downtown. That guy was in Midtown. Shame on me. But she definitely ate there. So Katie Porter says, Joe, there is research, Armacost, there's research on this. There's research indicating yet you didn't know this. Come on. You didn't know that if you opposed the fifteen dollars an hour minimum wage, one, you definitely want people to die of starvation.

That literally today. But there's research that it increases their quality of life. They get more nutritious food. They can put roofs over their heads. There is there's research about that. I must have missed that because I just won and put in a search engine. Very simple, Joe. Katie Porter is a member of Congress. Correct. So I went to the Congressional Budget Office. That right, is that right, you mess with the Congress. That is the congressional budget, correct.

OK, for those of you think I messing with you, I will actually, because the liberal, especially liberal college kid in the dorm room, I will put the link to the Congressional Budget website report on my show notes today for the liberal college kids to read in case you think I'm making this up. So, Katie Porter. Grotesquely ignorant congresswoman says there's definitely research about how much minimum wage improves, the lot of people prevents them from starving as Republicans want to rip food from their mouths.

So I looked it up and that's actually not what the research says from the Congressional Budget Office. She's a member of a member of Congress that the Dan Bongino Budget Office. This is from February 8th. Twenty twenty one. I'm not really good about dates, but what's today's date? Twenty sixth. So, OK, not that not not not that long ago, the budgetary effects of the Raise the Wage Act of twenty, twenty one. Says if the Raise the Wage Act of twenty twenty one was enacted March of twenty twenty one, the cumulative budget deficit over the twenty twenty to twenty, twenty one, twenty thirty one period would increase by fifty four billion.

OK, so you got that. What else we got there. We got another little screen cap from this piece. Let's see all this research they have here. Employment would be reduced. This can't be reduced. Am I right? Joe, you're on this. You're I know your eyes are not as sharp as they were when you were a young like Archer, you know, from The Hunger Games and all. But that does say employment would be reduced, correct, by one point four million workers.

I did so. But they can't be because she told us research said that not only would employment go up, but people would be much better. So employment would be reduced by one point four million workers or zero point nine percent, according to CBS average estimate. But the number up, don't worry, you know, the number of people in poverty would be reduced by zero point nine million. So this is really crazy because, again, simple math here, one point four million people have no job.

Employment would be reduced while nine hundred thousand people get a little bit of a raise. Katie, Katie's a math genius, rather like am I what am I getting wrong? Am I. Is there something I'm screwing up here? So you're talking about five hundred thousand more people who have no job. What are you laughing at? And you know, you can't let her see the villain of the day. This is the greatest tease ever happening in lifetime.

I have this story that is so funny. My only regret is I've seen it so many times that it's losing its funniness. Paula just saw it for the first time that she is dying. Laughing And but that's how funny the villain of the day is, not a joke. All right. Back to this, because Syria is 500000 more people, according to Katie Porter's own CBO, will lose their job.

Then we'll benefit at all from the minimum wage, but she's telling us, if you support Joe, if you dare fight this out now, you're allowed Wolfboy man, eardrum buster right there.

Now, all of a sudden, I can hear Armacost if you dare fight this, these five hundred that now you're perfect. Five hundred thousand people who are going to be fired, you are literally pulling food from the mouths of people who want to starve to death. Right. Their star.

You still. That's funny story. Funny, right. Did you you didn't see the story either, Joe. Did you see it on the screen. He doesn't see that, right? No. All right, all right, let me get to my last sponsor, I want to get back just quickly, Forbes article. It's great. I may have to skip the Bunshiro dot com. Yeah, because let's do this. All right. Let's do Forbes quick.

Skipped the the Bunshiro that I'll have that in the show notes. Let's do red state. What happened to the flu is coming up. Craziest story ever. Not a joke where the flu go.

You know, these people who think we can just run up government debt forever. And to be fair, that's a lot of spendthrift Republicans, too. I call that the debt and the Trump presidency, too. So no one is going to claim I'm a hypocrite on this.

We are running up debt levels never seen. I mean, literally never seen in human history. Forbes has a really fascinating article I've been trying to get you all week. It is up in the show notes today, and I encourage you to read it. Go to Bunshiro dotcom slash newsletter, please, to see it. It's about five consequences of the massive government debt we are running up, unprecedented in human history, literally. The articles called Five Consequences of US Debt at near fifty trillion.

This was from twenty twenty October. We haven't even spent the one point nine dollars trillion, we haven't even passed it yet. John Mauldin, senior contributor. Here's just a couple you may be saying yourself. Don't worry, I'm a liberal, I'm the liberal college kid in the dorm room. We could just tax our way out of this. Really, because here's a quote from the Forbes piece. Even if we double taxes on the top twenty five percent, you know, those evil rich people you keep talking about?

It would only bring in another one point three trillion, and that's assuming people don't change their behavior. Seventy five percent marginal rate plus four percent Medicare for a seventy nine percent top tax rate certainly will change behavior. A less shocking twenty to twenty five percent increase would only bring in about three billion to four hundred billion. I would have to raise rates on incomes over eighty three thousand, so think about this, if those evil rich people you keep talking about in the top 25 percent, we're not going to stop with the one percent.

We're talking about raising taxes on the top 25 percent because the one percent, you'd only get a fraction of this, even if people did nothing like avoided paying the taxes, which they do when they move out of the country or do municipal bonds or tax shelters or whatever it may be. Even if they did that job, they would raise one point three trillion the deficit next year alone. Alone next year is going to be probably over two trillion. You don't even meet forget about the budget.

You don't even meet the deficit for next year and that's one year. And then the money's gone. So there's nothing to get the year after that when you try to spend even more. So there's no possible. And that's assuming they don't change their behavior, which is. Literally, Katie Porter never happen. You tax people a lot, they engage in the American pastime. What is it, Joe? It's tax avoidance, avoidance. Tax evasion is a crime.

Tax avoidance is an American pastime. Just ask Al Sharpton and John Kerry. Here's another tidbit from the Forbes article for all you big spendthrift liberals going out, there's no consequence. It's denominated in US government assets. We can print all we want and spend it really quote, death's future income brought forward. There is a point at which the debt becomes a drag on US economic growth, and we've probably reached it. GDP growth in the US is going to increasingly look like Japan and or Europe, i.e. almost nil.

So the CBO continued two percent average growth forecast will simply get thrown out the window and the deficits will will get worse. I I've done my homework here, folks, I can't warn you anymore. I'm sorry not to the conservatives. I don't mean to sound like a jerk to the liberals listening and to the moderate Democrats listening who are convinced you can spend your money into an abyss. I've warned you for years. I have warned you we are spending ourselves into the most predictable financial crisis in American history.

And you just continue to move and just whistling past the graveyard. I am a terrible whistler. I have never figured out how to do that. Joe is a great job and whistle anything. Whistling past the graveyard plays the harmonica to his very talented. It's going to happen. It is a mathematical certainty. We as a country will go bankrupt. Now we want we can print our way out of it. I'm talking about a de facto bankruptcy, not a de jure.

De facto bankruptcy. Bankruptcy, meaning you have all the money in the world. It just doesn't buy you anything. You know, I thought of it and now I'm sorry, I want to get this red states or what happened in offloads import, but just quickly, here's what I mean by that. I was thinking about this sitting there. Shavon after show, thinking about stuff is always some stuff moving around a motion. My Mellet. Right. Imagine a world.

We're like the zombie apocalypse is broken out. I'm serious for a moment, I promise you this as a point. And as you and five, six thousand people left, and that's it. Everyone else has been eaten by the zombies or whatever, so you scavenge you go in the house, you find open safes, there's 20, 30000 in cash, 50000 in cash. You get it all, Joe. You got millions. 30, 40 million in cash, why not, right, you get the paper.

People left it out, they're all dead. They don't need it.

You're not really stealing from them, right? It's great. Right. So you're in great shape. You got you got you got your 20 million, right. Fantastic. Oh, what's the problem? You're rich, you're rich, you're nominally rich. You're not bankrupt. You have actual money. The problem is it's not actually an exchange of value because it's not actually worth anything anymore. Do you ever think of that actually is worse on the job? It's really good in your fireplace to keep that fire going as a little bit of candle.

That's what we're doing to our money. You may have a whole bunch of it, but it's not going to buy anything. All right, so onto our flu story, what the heck happened to the flu? Great story in Red State, again, the show notes are there's a ringer shown us today, you got to check them out, you that consolation newsletter. Sorry to beat you over the head with that today, but it's important. The stories are really good.

This is one of the great medical mysteries of our time right now, red state not is not a God. This is not meant to be in any way humorous. It's not. Everybody seriously wants to know what the hell happened to the flu. Michael, tell about that mysterious decline decline excuse me, in flu cases. Look at these numbers on the flow that is I mean, they're almost hard to believe. Check this out. So in twenty nineteen, about forty thousand flu tests were reported by week six.

This is twenty 19 with roughly twenty six percent positive for twenty sixteen to twenty twenty. An average of around forty four thousand flu tests had been reported by week six, a flu season, roughly twenty five percent of which were positive. Yet by the six week Joe of twenty twenty one, CDC figures show that only 17, not 70 percent. Only 17 of the over forty thousand eight hundred reported flu tests reported to the CDC were positive, which comes to a minuscule point zero four percent.

What the hell like seriously, what happened to the flu? It says if these numbers are to be believed, flu cases have declined by a factor of over 600 this year compared to the previous five year average. Pretty cool, even guys like hair spray do not read that he gets the cheap food, pretty cool stuff. What happened? This is good enough to know flu, but where the flu go, the piece goes into a few different theories.

One of them you're probably thinking right now is like, oh, well, you know, especially if you're someone who believes in a lot of the fascism's. A lot of you are probably saying, well, people are wearing masks, their social distancing. That's actually well, it may have something to do with it, I'm certainly not a medical doctor may maybe it does. But they dispute that in the piece, because it's interesting, Joe, these flu cases are down regardless of places that lockdown versus that didn't places where masks were mandatory, places where they weren't.

The flu is still. Almost nowhere to be found, no matter what happened with masks and social distancing and lockdowns or not, so it's probably unlikely. That's the whole reason. So what could it be? Here's what I think is the most plausible one from the piece. There's this researcher done. He notes that given the massive influx of covid tests to labs that they're doing this year, there's a likelihood that those covid tests and labs are being prioritized.

And the fact that it will take at least several days before someone could see a doctor and then go get tested for the flu. It's entirely possible that the alleged vanishing flu is not real, that it's nothing more than an artifact of the small window to test someone who has the flu and gets a positive result. Let me translate for you quickly, because I read the whole piece. I'll give you the Cliff's Notes cheat sheet here. Unlike covid. Your window, while you're infected with the flu to test positive is very, very small covid you probably have a few days.

It's very small with the flu and what they're saying is with everybody rushing in for covid tests, bottling up the labs and the doctor's appointments, let's say, Joe, you have flu symptoms, you call the doc. He's like, hey, brother, I can't get you until next week by the time you get in and get the flu test. The test is already it's not going to work. You're already going to test negative. That I read all the explanations in the piece were all good, all have merit, I think, but I think that's the most viable one, that the flu probably didn't vanish.

There's another theory now about competing viruses like a UFC match or something. I don't know how one sounds kind of far fetched, but. Check it out. I think that one with the lab test sounds like the most viable, that's why I put it in there. I'm not aware of this story, I can't, Paula. This is the thing, Paula, is that, you know, we usually do a hero of the day, but this is the anti hero villain of the day.

So I'm in the doctor's office. I had to get some blood taken. You know, I've always I'm always I'm at a doctor's office like twice a week, I swear. Like, I know every single person in the doctor's office by first the administrative staff, the nurses, whatever. I'm reading this story, I am cracking up the guy next to me. He recognizes me from Fox. Even with the mask on, he's looking at me like, dude, are you what are you like what is going on?

Like, are you OK? Do you need medication or something? I am like knee slapping. Laughter Why I see this story. But it is so. Through Facebook, I have this up in the show notes to you in case you want to share your liberal friends the laugh a little bit.

So apparently some US diplomats who work in China were returning to China. And upon returning headline, China gave U.S. diplomats anal covid. That's in error. American officials say.

This is not a joke, this is a bad light by Viola, so I love you.

I don't know you. Vice, I think is a left wing. But Viola, you've done America a favor. This is the story we all needed today. The US State Department, if they object to this show, do you think that President Gee, who made that call a real hero? The US State Department says it's committed to preserving the, quote, dignity of American diplomats.

You. So you're walking in. I have traveled under a passport, diplomatic passport before, and you're supposed to be given diplomatic privileges when you come in through customs in foreign countries. A lot of them have a tip line diplomats here. I'm not kidding. And you get to skip the line for the general population. Gen Pop, you're there. You get this. Imagine being in that zip line and thinking like I really scored. I skip this line going back to China and they're like, sir, drop them, drop them here.

We're going to do the we're going to do the swab. Why am I. No, it's the anal swab instead. And they do it either through a needle swab. The villain of the day is definitely the dude at the Chinese border crossing in the airport who thought it was a good idea to do the anal swab rather than maybe just asking people. You know, when I was going into the hospital in Houston for treatment, every day you go in, they give you this little green ban and they ask you a few questions.

Have you been around anyone? My covid you're feeling any symptoms, whatever. You're running a temperature you want to be as.

I think that's OK. I think that's OK for China, too. I'm pretty sure we don't need the anal swab for the diplomats. Let's just let's preserve our national dignity. And thank you to the hero who took a stand on that one and said no more anal swabs about an entry back into China for our diplomats. And if you are that Chinese individual, the anal swab or you are our villain of the day on Friday. Let me end on a good note.

Thank you to everyone. This was a press release my partners at Westwood One put out. Paul is still laughing about this story. I'm moving on. We just hit. And congratulations to my whole crew, Drew Paula GI Joe, who's been with me from the beginning. I mean, literally from the first show in twenty fifteen Radio Online to Dan Bongino show hits. It's one hundredth affiliate milestone. Proud of that I we are now on 100 radio stations across the country, we're in San Francisco, Los Angeles, UCM, and I mean, I know it's a big deal to Joe, to Joe grew up and radio, even on the radio a long time.

And we're now becoming a really big force in terrestrial radio. And I really appreciate it. I gave a simple thought. I meant it. I wrote it myself. It's not something like a PR firm wrote up and I wrote, you know, growing up a fan, a conservative talk radio makes the moment extra special for me to be able to reach people across the country with a strong pro liberty, pro freedom message. You just took that down.

You absolutely killed my momentum. Paula Calvet. I was motoring right. There is the honor of a lifetime, said Bocchini before Paula cut him off. But I still am. I'll at least get my last line in there. She literally cut me off. She decided she was going to, like, change that thing for some reason, I said. Also special thanks as well to the affiliates. Partnering up with us in this venture means a lot to me.

I did grow up on conservative talk radio, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, the great one. So being in 100 stations across the country, thanks to you, means a lot. You know, you're not supposed to say amen on the radio, but I get a comfortable salary. Thanks, but this is all your success. I can only listen to the show once you all have made it the success of this show. Thank you very much.

It's been a great week. I really appreciate your patience with the slow, dreaded news cycles lately. But I promise you, we will always find interesting things to talk about to make you more informed after the show than you were before you two that I'll see you all at CPAC a little later and I will see you all on Monday. Good day, sir.

You just heard Dan Bongino.
