[00:00:11]

Folks, we're going to go into this today, the whole concession talk again, there will be no concession, not today. How many times do I have to say this? Not tomorrow, Paula. How's next week looking? Is it looking OK now, Paula? Shaking your head, I'm sure. Joe, how do you feel next week? Is next week looking good? Maybe now? Not so much. OK, maybe either. Me either. So that's two out of three.

[00:00:33]

And it's meatloaf said two out of three ain't bad. They're not going to be a concession until we're sure we have an actual free and fair result. OK, ok. OK. I got a video today, though, I'm going to show you at the beginning of the show showing you how the media was obsessed with Al Gore not conceding in 2000, while they're obsessed with President Trump conceding despite significant disputes about what the results of this election are. That video is great.

[00:01:00]

Hat tip news busters. We'll get to that. Also today on the agenda, please don't go anywhere. It's a loaded show. Having said that, I'm going to go through the anatomy of a hit today, how the media colludes with lunatics on social media does no fact checking whatsoever, runs with totally fake stories.

All right, Joe, let's go dating Bing. I'm really stoked about today's show. I woke up today feeling very energetic, went back for a blood test yesterday. The doctor was like, fantastic. Nice job, buddy. Your blood's looking pretty good. So that was two big thumbs up. Yeah. So I guess, yeah, I was like I have like some Wolverine likability to a pair of my red blood cell count. If the true which is great, which is just awesome.

[00:04:50]

I'm looking for Professor Exit, so I said I'd get to this first. Just quickly. There will be no concession until we can determine we had a free and fair elections. So again, everyone waiting on it, you can just keep waiting because it will be nothing. But just a quick media montage here. Hat tip our friends at News Busters. What I'm going to play for you is video. Audio of. The media during the Al Gore Trump excuse me, Al Gore Bush fight in 2000, we remember that went on for thirty seven days.

[00:05:20]

And the media, of course, because Al Gore was a Democrat and that election was disputed, the media was encouraging Gore. Don't you concede? We found fraud here, what we think is fraud there. And then you're going to hear and you'll see the media. Now, he must concede no evidence of fraud. So that's this is a media montage of media of when it was a Democrat, Gore versus media on on concession. Now that it's a Republican and Trump, check this out.

[00:05:47]

This is hilarious watching these fronts.

[00:05:49]

There is no question or very little question that Al Gore won the votes cast in the state of Florida. The question is, will he win? The votes count?

[00:05:55]

And there are some stories in Florida still developing. We don't know all the facts, but it really looks odd.

[00:06:00]

And some say, listen, and it is the quote is the fiction in Florida, there is no evidence whatsoever of illegal votes or any kind of election fraud, voting irregularities or alleged in some counties, some irregularities in the vote count, voting irregularities, voting improprieties.

[00:06:18]

Just to be very clear, there is no evidence of, quote, clear and apparently credible allegations of irregularities.

[00:06:24]

Do you think in Florida that voter fraud has been perpetrated, problems with voter fraud?

[00:06:28]

There is no evidence of fraud, Democrats say, to Republican workers committed a felony voting offices resembling crime scenes.

[00:06:36]

There is no evidence he has yet to put forth any evidence. There's no evidence. There is no evidence of malfeasance. A poll worker shows up to the elections office this afternoon with a bag of ballots. Why are they showing up now?

[00:06:48]

We're watching a conspiracy theory be woven in real time, baselessly crime fraud, making unhinged accusations.

[00:06:55]

Yesterday, early editions of The New York Post got it wrong. Printed out.

[00:06:59]

Bush wins. The Gore campaign today boldly predicted that when the final vote is in, they will prevail. There it is. You may be saying if you're listening on radio or radio, Dan, that's weird, because in one sentence I'm hearing media people say there's evidence of fraud in this Gore Bush election. Oh, my gosh. We need to look into these ballots are showing up. This is crazy time. And in the next sense, what am I hearing, I'm hearing some of the same media enterprises say there's no fraud, President Trump has to concede.

[00:07:29]

Yeah, that's exactly what you're hearing, when, in fact, the Democrat don't concede when it was a Republican. You must concede immediately and don't overthink it. That's exactly what that was. If you're watching on Rumball, you saw it. It's obvious because the older video footage you can see is from Twitter. It's grainier. They're just phonies, so we'll continue to ignore them. Thanks. Keep waiting on that concession, you can hang out over there.

[00:07:52]

We got a chair in the corner in our greenroom that actually agreed with our studio is an old apartment, but it's a bedroom next door. You can hang out over there and we'll get back to you next room, closing the door for Thanksgiving. So bring food and stuff. There's a bathroom door where you can brush your teeth. Just don't use my toothbrush. You have an extra quip in there. I'll give you one. Don't use mine. Here's one more quick piece of video.

[00:08:12]

Know it's the day before Thanksgiving. Keep you in a good mood despite everything going on. President Trump still swinging. Got to love this guy. He did a little presser yesterday about the massive run up in the stock market, which crossed thirty thousand yesterday. And President Trump wanted to take a bit of a celebratory lap. And I don't blame them. So he's out at the press conference and he ended the press conference this way. Check this out.

[00:08:35]

And I just want to congratulate all the people within the administration that worked so hard. And most importantly, I want to congratulate the people of our country because there are no people like you. Thank you very much, everybody.

[00:08:48]

I love it. It's great. You can't just go. I want to congratulate the people of this country because they're nothing like you idiots. Well, I do it, he had said. But that's to believe me, that's what he was thinking. That is one hundred percent what he was thinking, still swinging. Not an ounce of fight drained from his body. Good for him because we got big fights ahead. All right, let me get my story today.

[00:09:15]

So I asked Paul, I was kind of tossing this around him, like, what do we talk about first? Because I have a lot of good stuff and I don't want it to seem self-serving. Obviously, I have a financial interest in parler and I want to cover this. But the story is fascinating because it involved a viral story with air quotes yesterday and Parler was the subject of it. And if you don't know what happened behind the scenes, you think this story was real and some of you may be new to my show, may have some liberal leanings.

[00:09:40]

Believe still that the media tells you the truth. This story and what happened to us yesterday in this viral hoax Impala is such a damning story, not so much about parler, although we were the focus of it, but about how easy it is to fish and hook in idiots in the media who at a moment's notice will propagate a false story as long as it meets their political needs. And yet demand a fact check from a Republican about any story about Donald Trump.

[00:10:11]

Donald Trump says he likes ice cream, fact check it. And yet when you ask them to fact check stories like this one about parler, they do no fact. They just run with the story. Here's what I mean. Let's get right to it. First, let me just talk about The New York Times first, because what's going on here is part of a larger operation by people in the mainstream activists, liberal media, to engage in massive anti civil liberties movements and speech suppression.

[00:10:32]

They want everyone wiped off Facebook with any influence at all, Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere. But make no mistake, The New York Times is now Pravda and these three are part of it. Kevin Ruched, Mike Isaac. And here here she is, Shira Frankel again. Remember Shira Frankel at the free speech activist who wrote about us the other day? Now, The New York Times, which promoted the hoax, of course, and did no fact checking on that at all.

[00:10:55]

They wrote this article yesterday, Facebook's struggle to balance civility and growth, blah, blah, blah. What's this article really about me? Get to the screenshot there. It's an effort by people in the media, like these folks here at The New York Times who want make no mistake, their only goal is to silence conservative speech. That's it. They know the facts and truth and go. Here's what they wrote in their piece in there. They're talking about this new algorithm that Facebook alleged.

[00:11:22]

Facebook denies this to be fair, which they won't be to us, but I'll give you. But Facebook denies this happened, but it says that Facebook wanted to emphasize the importance after the election. This is from a source of what they call news ecosystem quality scores. Oh, my gosh. Does this sound Orwellian or, Joe, any IQ scores? So I guess we'll call Net Mănescu score to crew neck scores, which is a secret internal ranking Facebook assigns to news publishers based on signals about the quality of their journalism.

[00:11:53]

So the allegation here is that Facebook gave these high neck scores to make sure authoritative news appeared more prominently. This is hilarious. What is this? This is nothing more than a threat by the PPY hoaxers that The New York Times, you've gotten almost nothing right about Trump for four years now have humiliated themselves. Journalism every New York Times, the Walter Durante, New York Times that was on the side of the Soviet Union versus America. Remember that New York Times, those guys and ladies out there.

[00:12:21]

This piece is nothing more than an attempt to cover for Facebook to say no, no, no Facebook, they're just promoting this score because, Joe, they're just trying to promote that's a quote from these authoritative news sites.

[00:12:35]

Yeah. Joe, just to be clear, I'm just this is just a question just to make sure you can you know, the audience is picking up what I'm putting down here. But but. Do you think that authoritative news sources that Facebook is trying to promote, the New York Times are referring to are Bon China.com that nailed the Spygate hoax Breitbart? That's pretty much on top of stuff. The Daily Caller, Chuck Ross over there. Do you think that's what they're talking about for authoritative news sources that Facebook wants to promote?

[00:13:03]

Yeah, man, I do think that don't even have to think about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's it. That's it. Of course, it's. Folks, the authoritative news sources are The New York Times, The Washington Post shows, of course, messing with you know, it is this is not this is what they're doing.

[00:13:27]

They're trying to provide cover from Facebook. Oh, folks, don't worry. Don't worry. When The New York Times, Facebook's next score, which again, Facebook denies. But I'm just telling you, this is out there and seems to comport with the reality of my page and what happened, our page distribution after the election since come back a bit again, to be fair, and get both sides, which Facebook won't do to us. With their fake fact checks, they are not promoting authoritative news sources, we are engaged in a war for free speech.

[00:13:57]

And is coming to your door soon. I promise you. And that war on free speech is going to be led by corporate America. People in government are going to lag behind. You don't want to take a vaccine, that's your call. It's a free country. You're not going to be able to board a plane and some look at quantize, I saw an article about quantize. You want to run your business and run your businesses Facebook page, yet you have a Trump sign outside of your business watch when your Facebook page gets fact checked and starts getting reported for stuff you didn't do, man, you put on Twitter and some alternative therapy to some disease out there that you think could be legitimate.

[00:14:39]

Watch Twitter take you down. The war is happening right in front of your face, and the war against misinformation is not a war against conservative misinformation. It's a war against liberal misinformation. Let me give you this anatomy of a takedown, because this is what happened to us yesterday. Here's how it started a while ago. We got an email from this this life loser and troll, this basement dwelling lunatic piece of human filth and garbage. Oh, my gosh darn.

[00:15:07]

That sounds look this guy up and you'll see what I'm talking about. So here's this guy, William Ligate, who's had trouble before, by the way. He had to make a retraction after lying about Project Veritas. So he's got a history of doing stuff like this. So this troll ligate e-mailed our CEO at Parler and he wanted money. Hey, dude, get off our drinks. You're going to Vegas. And I'm curious if you still have the bounty program for Liebler influencers to join.

[00:15:33]

Here's the thing. We put out this 20 thousand dollar or something reward for liberals to join parler a while ago. So this guy is interesting. He admits he trolls on Twitter. He's got help on parler. He says, I have a parlor account, but I've just used it to troll, but happy to use it into my real name and promote it under my Twitter, if properly incentivized. You get it. So he's winking and nodding at us that we should somehow pay him off under this bounty program.

[00:15:59]

This this this lunatic to promote parler, well, we promptly told them to pound sand. Well, because he's a troll with a history of making retractions for lies, he decided, well, if I can't get money out of parler, then I might as well attack, parler and make stuff up. So but you can't just do it by yourself because this guy doesn't have that. Nobody takes this guy seriously. So he needed a media enterprise to take him seriously, to run with his fairy tale about parler in this ridiculous attempt to shake us down for money.

[00:16:31]

So next thing you know, after the money never came, this is what appeared on Parler under his parler account. He says the parlor administrators appear to be censoring right in Trump for Georgia hashtag disgraceful what happened to the First Amendment conveniently from the same guy, William Ligate. That sounds bad, folks, Parlo, we were censoring your hashtag right in Trump for Georgia, man, we're really tev. That's awful. What's the problem with that story? Nobody was ever censoring your hashtag at all.

[00:17:07]

Oh, Dan, you made it. No, no, no, no, no, the story's totally made up. The guy didn't get his money. Now the guy's mad, so the guy decides to try to attack Parler with a fake story about a censoring some pro Trump hashtag in Georgia. You understand the story's totally made up. You could have put the hashtag in yourself and whatever's on parler will come up, but it requires you to actually put the hashtag in correctly.

[00:17:39]

So some people type they didn't run. Oh, my gosh, nothing appeared. So, of course, this story. Went viral, well, why people I thought you said nobody believes this loser, they don't. But when somehow the story gets pitched to mainstream media, people who hate parler, you think, Joe, right? I mean, you have been the contrarian devil's advocate in today's show. Yes. You would think if you were a media person writing about parler, censoring a hashtag, that you would actually go into parler and put in the hashtag and see if it's censored.

[00:18:10]

Would you do that if you were a journalist? I'm just a journalist and it's it's just, you know, check it out. Worth a look. See. Confirmed by producer Joe. Worth a look. See, folks. Paula, would you agree maybe a good idea to put the hash tag in, but Paula agrees. So there you go. Two out of three. Apep but no, no, no. None of that actually happen. So some dip wad at Newsweek named James Crowley decided, hey, I'll just write about this story, free speech, free speech, air quotes, social network parler, allegedly censoring.

[00:18:42]

Right and Trump for Georgia by James Crowley wholely the story.

[00:18:46]

Totally. This is the anatomy of a hit. Ask for money, don't get money. Create a viral fake news story. Pitch it to idiots in the media who will then run with it. The story's totally fake. The allegation is totally false. All this idiot Crowley had to do was put the hash tag it himself. Now, when I debunked it, because I came out and said, guys, ladies again, parlor's under attack because liberals, New York Times and elsewhere hate free speech and parler actually promotes free speech, we're under attack.

[00:19:22]

This is just another in the one of what, Paula, 50 stories I've had at the bunker that George Soros owns Parler. We censor Trump supporters. We steal your Social Security number. What else? We're working with Thanos The Infinity Stones to destroy the Earth. You understand these are all fake stories only meant to discredit the company because we support free speech. So when none of that worked and the Newsweek guy, I had to discredit him. Then NBC had a jump bed.

[00:19:53]

So you can always rely on this dip wad, Ben Collins from NBC to always promote it. Here he is, Ben Collins at one underscore on Twitter. He says, Talking about Parler quotes the Newsweek story, this tweet. This is hilarious. Again, it's a very loose definition of free speech, talking about Parler, where he cites the fake Newsweek story. And here's the funny thing. Look at Ben Collins side when he puts up on Twitter next to his avatar.

[00:20:19]

This is hilarious. He's a quote reporter, folks, for NBC News reporter. Journalist. Another guy, Joe, just checking, probably a good idea to check the story first, maybe put the hash tag. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you just put that out there, which if we just put that out there. So step one again. Demand money, step two, don't get money, make a fake story, try to go viral, use idiots in the media who always call for fact checks, everyone else who don't even fact check the story themselves.

[00:20:54]

Let Newsweek and this moron and NBC Ben Collins run with the story. But listen, it's not enough to have to mourn James Crowley from Newsweek and Ben Collins from NBC. You need the biggest moron of all who's got still a big microphone, the morons, the Drudge Report Sludge Report, which is totally sold out. American, the conservative movement. They'll run with it, too. Here's the story on Drudge today. Free speech, parler, allegedly censoring posts.

[00:21:29]

Drudge, the human waste repository. The guy who did the website seriously, that would sell out their their dogs for money to make a buck. Perotti, a totally fake story. That story's fake, but again, because Parla is a conservative, free speech leaning conservative being right on their liberal, you can go over there, too, but a free speech app. Drudge has to attack it. Folks, it didn't end. It didn't end. When that fake story didn't work.

[00:22:11]

That parlor was censoring Trump supporters, which was fake. Ligate comes back again, you know, the guy who. Here he is again on Twitter. Turns out Parler left its database credentials unencrypted on a public API. I've redacted their server passwords, but this is very, very bad for parler. Here he is again, loser dip weibe whose I can't about this as this guy's parents disavowed him yet. I would on Twitter again, making up another story now that we've been hacked.

[00:22:43]

Oh. Totally fake, made up, fabricated fairy tale story, no true to it at all. Yes, you probably asking about the legal basis. We are working on legal options. We're not stupid. That's for another day. We're not dumb. Ligate course restricted access to his account. I think he knows he's in significant trouble now. So deputised Ligate Outpost's Parla is Izhak, but again, this guy is not smart enough to make a story go viral on his own because people know he's a fraud, so he needs other people to play it.

[00:23:17]

Who plays in, of course, our best friends and I mean worst enemies at Twitter who were only more than apt to use dunce liberals to make the story trendy, look trending in the United States on Twitter. No. One. What does that have to do with anything? Essense, keep this up home. Well, that was trending because liberals who are dummies mutated toads, imbecile liberals never fact check anything. And Twitter, who claims to be a fact checker, let essense for Social Security numbers go viral because the allegation was and why Essenes was trending.

[00:23:53]

Is that Parler was demanding your Social Security number and was hacked and your Social Security numbers out there. OK, both of those are false. Parler does not ask for a Social Security number. You could have just checked that. That's not true. And Parlo wasn't hacked. Number two. And look at the bottom. It's also trending parler hack. This is what we deal with all day. But then again, tell me, folks, how Newsweek, The New York Times, Ben Collins from NBC and Twitter are the sources of real news there, the legitimate fact checkers.

[00:24:28]

Jack Dorsey needs to put labels on stuff. And yet when a totally fake story gets the bump, they let that trend. And then when that story gets debunked, they let another fake story about parler trend because they're not interested in the facts. They're interested in political attacks. Sorry to wear you out with that story, but the story, although it's about Parla, is not really about parler. Do you understand the umbrella takeaways here, the people claiming to be these harbingers of truth and justice, Twitter, Facebook, Newsweek, The New York Times, Ben Collins at NBC, they are openly lying to you.

[00:25:02]

Drudge, Twitter. They are making fake stories go viral, promoting disinformation and misinformation, everything from Pahlavi's was hacked to the hoax the parlor asked for. Social worker can really just go to parler. Maybe you'd sign up and you'll notice there's no line for Social Security number. It's kind of weird how we're asking you for it, yet it's not there. These are the disinformation misinformation specialist. And if they flip the script and made you believe that we're the ones doing it.

[00:25:34]

Watch this kid. Better get a good lawyer. All right, folks, let me get to my second sponsor today, got a lot going on, I got a whole bunch more to get through, including a weird flex by CNN. Crazy, weird flex. You know, CNN, more misinformation, sensing a theme today. Today's show also brought to you by our friends at ÊTES. Listen. Our firearm enthusiasts out there have a great gift idea for the firearm owner in your life when it comes to training or personal defense, magazines are just as important as a firearm.

[00:27:15]

Dan, Dan for 15 percent off your entire order go today. All right.

[00:27:20]

We got a change in show plans today. You know, we always take a break. If they're second, they go straight through. You don't see any break at all. But Paula said to me during this 30 second break we take, she's like, I think you should talk about the McFlynn story next. And I agree with her because she's smart. That's why I married her deputy to. She says it kind of goes with your theme of fake news, but this story is important because, again, it this stuff gets into the public psyche.

[00:27:46]

Folks, there are still people out there, people portraying themselves as credible news outlets who refuse to tell the truth about General Mike Flynn. They continue to propagate the myth, which I'm sorry if you've heard it on the show now four or five times, that Mike Flynn lied about discussing sanctions with the Russian ambassador. Ladies and gentlemen, the story is absolutely false. The evidence is right in front of your eyes. Why am I talking about this now?

[00:28:13]

Well, let's get to the story first and then the sanctions part, because there's two pieces to the story. First, current news of the day. There's some talk out there about President Trump finally pardoning General Mike Flynn. The stories up in Accio Scoop Axios Jonathan Swan. Trump tells confidence that he plans to pardon Michael Flynn. Let's get to that first before we get to the screen shot from the piece. Ladies and gentlemen. Great. Listen, I read your emails.

[00:28:38]

I understand. I respect and value my audience. The reason my email, Polisar email, the show, email is out there because we really like to read your feedback. I read a lot of your tweets, your parleys, your Facebook posts in return, because the show is for you. Let me just put this out there. To give you my audience's view, full spectrum, about 50 percent of you basically do not want Flyn part. It's not because they don't like and respect the general, it's that they think he should see this legal process to the end and have the judge.

[00:29:08]

Judge Sullivan was not acting like a judge at all, be forced to throw the case out. Joe, makes sense. Can you speak for this? That makes sense to have the audience to say no. Dan, a pardon would be kind of a semi admission of guilt and we should run this through to the legal end and make sure a court of law says Mike Flynn did not do it. Yeah, I get it. I understand you. I disagree with respect.

[00:29:31]

I had the other 50 percent are on my side of this and Paul is on Jones two, which is like. Hey, ladies and gentlemen. This isn't just this what's happening. If you're seeking justice with air quotes in a justice system that is not acting according to the principles of justice, how do you ever expect to get justice? Let me. Can I give you an analogy, quick permission, Paula, to make it? Yeah, sometimes on Fox you always say permission for it because you never know what that analogy is going to go.

[00:30:06]

Right? Seriously, never here. Jesse satisfies permission to make it. It's a joke, but you never know. This is a good. If Joe Armacost, my good friend, was accused of robbing a bank, and I know Joe was down here in Florida with me when the bank in Maryland was robbed, I know Joe didn't rob the bank. Just like I know Mike Flynn did nothing wrong. I know it, I can prove it. It's easy.

[00:30:32]

Why would I allow Joe to go to trial for a charge? Where the judge hates Joe, he's a liberal, he knows Joe works with the Dan Bongino show, and the judge keeps sticking it to Joe to make his life miserable over a course of years with the hope one day Joe will win. Why would we allow that to happen? When there is a corrective mechanism. Say, I was the governor of Maryland. And I had the power to pardon Joe.

[00:31:00]

That is justice. The pardon power to the governor of the United States is written in the Constitution as a mechanism to correct for when justice isn't done. Justice is not being done, you're relying on a judge, Judge Sullivan, who is a political hack, he's a discredited fake judge. He's not acting as a judge. And you're hoping to get justice for whom I disagree with respect, I see your point. You're not crazy. Your points are reasoned and logical.

[00:31:35]

But I just think they're drawing on a false conclusion, which is that justice is going to be served by a judge not interested in justice. There is justice in the Constitution, the president's ability to go into the system and pardon people without condition. To correct for when justice isn't done. That is just this. That's real justice. Now, what about the misinformation piece? Let's get to that next. So down in the piece again, I don't know.

[00:32:09]

Jonathan Swan is not a personal beef. I saw him in a green room once at this political event. Sounds like a nice guy. It's a personal. But whoever wrote this, John, or I don't know if it's on the byline, I assume he did it, put in his piece a piece of false information. Why isn't this fact checked by Facebook or Twitter? I thought they were the bastions of honesty and truth and goodwill. This is a knowingly false statement.

[00:32:35]

From the Axios piece, quote, Flynn then lied about not discussing sanctions, the vice president, Mike Pence, who repeated that denial to the media. Oh, my gosh. Now, you regular listeners to my show are probably clawing at your faces, pulling your hair out right now, going again with the sanctions thing, where did Swan get this, that Flynn lied about sanctions? Where do you get a Wikipedia joke, a poke superior? If Flynn was asked about sanctions and then FBI interview and then lied about discussing sanctions with the Russian ambassador as as swans asserting in the piece, then, Joe, wouldn't you think the FBI documentation of the interview where they allegedly asked about sanctions would contain the word sanctions and a question about sanctions?

[00:33:27]

John, you're very you're an integral part of the show today, Joe. I'm just throwing that out. Confused me.

[00:33:32]

But, yeah, I think that would be part of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:33:36]

I know you could. What was it? My cousin Vinny. Let me unconfuse you. Let me unconfuse you for a minute here. In fact, I was just very confused. This is very perplexing to poor Joe. You know, poor guy just robbed the bank and got framed for it or he's very confused right now. So in the middle of his stress, I'm going to help you through this. So here is the FBI 302 with Jonathan. Jonathan Swann could have checked out himself.

[00:34:00]

Of, in other words, the documentation of their interview with Michael Flynn. So let's go with the help Jonathan Swan out here. Let's go to page one of the FBI. Joe, do you see the word sanctions? We've done this now four or five times. So you get the cheat a little bit. Do you see the word sanctions on page one anyway? I see expulsion. You see that he's highlighted that expulsion of Russian diplomats. And that's something I don't I don't see.

[00:34:27]

Paula. Paula, do you see it? OK, Paul is shaking your head. No, Joe, do you see it? The answer is no for Joe. No for Paul, OK. It's clearly on on page two. We missed it. Swan said he lied about sanctions. So if the FBI. Sure.

[00:34:40]

Of course, if he asked about sanctions in their documentation, page two, reading through the interview, asked him speed reading here with the expulsion expulsions, again, not sanctions, but I'm not really PNG persona in a medium that I don't see.

[00:34:55]

Joe, do you see a quick survey again? Joe, it's this crazy time. Every crazy pills everywhere. Paula, did you see sanctions in there for the Paul is giving us a no. That's a no. So that's just. Swan put in his report, so it's definitely on page three of the FBI's own notes where the FBI asked him about sanctions because they said as one that he lied about sanctions, definitely on page three. So let's check out the critical page three.

[00:35:19]

Arrowhead Page three of the document exposes the see expulsions again, Russia, the messy expulsions the second time. I don't see it.

[00:35:29]

I just don't see it anywhere. Gosh, that's really weird. The FBI must have forgot, man. You know, it's so it's crazy. Shows under stress right now that Joe is being framed for a bank robbery, just like Flins being framed for talking about sanctions that were never discussed in the interview that the FBI never mentioned in their own report of the interview about sanctions that never happen. Someone could look that up. Again, it isn't personal. He's a reporter.

[00:36:02]

Maybe do some reporting or maybe issue a correction on your story, fact check, you know, like they do to us, fake fact checks, maybe a real fact check of your own enterprise axios where you say fact check, note there is no evidence sanctions were ever discussed in the FBI interview. And if you can produce it, I'd like I'd like to see it. This gets worse. Believe it or not, you're saying the FBI didn't discuss sanctions?

[00:36:30]

No, no, they didn't. Let me get to my third spot, because I want to explain this, this, believe it or not, this story gets even worse. Not only have FBI not discussed sanctions ever, so Flynn's story is completely wrong. That they framed him on it is transparently clear when you read their own notes. Crazy time in it. Yeah, our friends at Taser hey, the people at Taser believe that safe for self-defense is better.

[00:38:17]

All right, folks, getting back to this story. So now we know Swan did, in fact, check his own story because, Flynn, there's no evidence anywhere that Flynn was actually asked about sanctions, he allegedly try kind of hard to lie about sanctions, weren't asked about.

[00:38:31]

I know. If Woody would have went straight to the police, some of you will get that. So surely the FBI has some notes on this interview, too, like handwritten notes outside of their typed up notes?

[00:38:45]

Yeah, yeah, we have some of those, too. And I want to show you some interesting. It'll come up again in a second. This will be real. This is their actual handwritten notes of the interview. And there's a key part of this. I want you to take a look at their notes of what Flynn was telling them in the interview, where, again, he allegedly lied about sanctions he was never asked about. Check this out.

[00:39:03]

This little handwritten FBI note is just fascinating. It says at the end boxed us in. You can see that right there. If you're watching us on Rumball, you can look at it's even circled for you boxed us in. Hold that in your head for a minute, so someone in the FBI interviewing Flynn during the interview was taking handwritten notes and wrote down, boxed us in. Why would they write that? Don't you worry, it'll make sense in just a jiffy.

[00:39:34]

Let's go to Jim Comey, former disgraced director of the FBI, actually current disgraced former director, that's kind of a better way to say, right? He's not formally disgraced. He's currently disgraced former director. Much better got a word that correctly. So here's Comiso notes about the Flynn interview, where the clearly they say how much he lied and he was indicating deception, lied about sanctions. Of course, they don't say that, he says. And the agents this is his testimony about the Flynn interview and the reason I mentioned their experiences because I talked to them about this.

[00:40:06]

He says the agents who interviewed Flynn, they discern no physical indications of deception. They didn't see any change in posture, tone, inflection or eye contact. They saw nothing indicating to them that he knew Flynn was lying to them. Wow, that sounds kind of strange then. And they interviewed him completely, went through it all, did not show him the transcript or transcripts, and then came back and drafted a three to the one I just showed you.

[00:40:30]

Maybe Swan should throw that in his story with a little fact check. There is no evidence Flynn was asked about sanctions. There's also no evidence he deceived the FBI. As for Jim Comey, his own notes. I'm just saying, John, Fact, check it all. Maybe you want to throw that in there, Joe. You think it makes a little asterisk footnote? Probably a good one. Note. This didn't happen, but I just wrote.

[00:40:51]

Yeah, or maybe just don't write it. Here's an idea. Probably the better approach. Yeah. Fun. But you want to be taken seriously as a credible medium where where the hoaxers show me and you, we got the ones who nailed this story from this. We're all lady. I just produced to you evidence, hard evidence, your stories fake. Oh, we didn't say you didn't talk about it, we didn't tell Flynn about it yet, even though you didn't tell the VP, even Vice President Pence has taken that back and now believes Flynn was telling him the truth.

[00:41:28]

Maybe you want to include that in their. A full disclaimer about the whole story. That can leave us hanging with the box that said, of course not. Why is that FBI not relevant? Keep in mind the assertion, Paul, if I don't explain this well, been beaten up, Joe is the ombudsman. You've got to shut me down. Here it is in a nutshell. The FBI alleged Mike Flynn lied to them about discussing sanctions with the Russian ambassador, Russian ambassador.

[00:41:58]

There's no evidence sanctions were ever brought up. How could he lie about a question he was never asked? How do we know that? Because we have the FBI's own notes where they never mentioned the question about sanctions at all. We have Comey sworn testimony where he says Flynn wasn't deceiving them. Flynn was being honest in the interview. And then we have an FBI handwritten note about clearly of Flynn's response to a question where Flynn mentioned the term box that's in because we have their handwritten notes, the FBI.

[00:42:30]

Let's look at the actual transcript. The FBI had of the call between Flynn and the Russian ambassador. And let's look at something, this line at the top. This is the transcript, the FBI summary, the transcript. This is what the FBI had, Flynn wants to convey the following to Moscow. Do not allow this administration to box us in right now. Kislyak says they have conveyed it very clearly. So if you're a media person like John Swan and you're looking for an outlet to your story with this fake assertion that you may say, well.

[00:43:05]

Flynn was discussing the expulsions of the Russian ambassadors, not the sanctions, but sanctions, expulsions, smallgoods expansion's, it's the same thing. Really, because that's funny, when the FBI asks Flynn about the expulsions, Flynn told the FBI exactly what he told the Russian ambassador. Don't box us in. And they wrote it down. In their own handwriting. Weird how he lied about it. Lied about it, air quotes in it, he told you about it.

[00:43:42]

He told you the truth about what you had in the transcript. But keep up with this fake news story, please, that Mike Flynn lied about sanctions that were never discussed. No, no, we mean expulsions, OK? They're not even the same thing. They're not even remotely related. But you can keep that myth up, too, because when he was asked about the expulsions, he told the FBI exactly what was in the damn transcript. You numb nuts.

[00:44:06]

But keep it up. Because it was out of order, I have to go back in the book because. The producer, Paula, says she's right, using her instincts are always great on the show. Folks, seriously, on a very serious note, the story's very disappointing because I don't know, John Swannee, it's not personal. I mean, I probably take it that way. No one wants them their name on the show, this popular.

[00:44:34]

But I get talked about all the time, just put my name in any search engine, Bongino, it's always some left, this lunatic top happens. It's you know, I don't have a thick skin. I have a thin skin. It bothers me. It'll probably bother him. I don't mean to hurt the guy's feelings. And I'm but I'm in the truth business. And I'm sorry. You're not. You have no evidence, anything you put in there is actually true.

[00:44:55]

None. And if you could produce it, send it over to the show and we'll put it on the air. But you can. All right, let me get to my last sponsor and then I want to get this weird Fleck's by CNN quick story about the vaccine. And I want to get to this final story today about. Remember Jordan Peterson? Jordan Peters is back, very, very popular speaker, writer, lecturer Jordan Petersens back and people are crying about it.

[00:45:23]

No, no, I mean crying like tears, like liquid coming out of the eyeballs. We have to get to Paula. Don't let me go away. And the story is just a classic. All right. Final sponsor their friends at podium. Ladies, gentlemen, text. The power of a text is incredible. And if you run a business, you don't know that. You better get to know it really fast. I have some news for you.

[00:45:41]

You may not have even realized it, but your customers don't want you to call them anymore. That's right. They prefer you send them a text. Now, before you say I text my friends, but I call a business, I just want to tell you that's not true. Texting is the better way to communicate with your customers. It just is. I prefer a text personally. So does Paula. And I speak into a microphone. That's my job.

[00:46:00]

I don't want to have. I just don't imagine your customer feels here's why texting is better for you save time and money by not spending so much effort calling customers about the order of appointment text.

[00:46:11]

Get open 97 percent of the time so your customers will get the message. You can text back and forth, giving you freedom to be tethered to your phone podium works even better now that business is being done remotely. Here are some examples. Car dealers are selling cars only through text furniture stores or sending other updates to keep their customers informed. Dentists are booking appointments before the end of the year. I'm teaming up with podium for a special offer for a limited time.

[00:46:35]

Sign up with podium for 20 percent off your plan. They're so confident that if podium doesn't make your business better within 90 days, they will send you one hundred and fifty dollar Amazon gift card for the holidays. Now, there you go with that. That's a boost to confidence right there. Go to podium dot com slash down to get started. That's 20 percent off if you go to podium dotcom slash Dan Podi, um, dot com slash stamp today.

[00:46:57]

Go today. Don't let your other businesses outcompete you use in text podium dotcom, then go to that podium. Dotcom slash Danco today. All right. Getting back to the story. So let's quickly turn to a couple of these.

[00:47:11]

This is just, again, I'm sorry to keep bringing it up, but facts do matter, and before the holidays, you know, I'm not everybody should take it easy during the holiday. Just enjoy the holiday. We live in the greatest country on Earth, still, despite our failed political class. Just enjoy the holidays. But inevitably, you know, you're going to run into a lot of people and some liberal will come out. You would have said of what they believe are facts that are totally false.

[00:47:36]

And one of them here's this weird Fleck's by CNN. Check out this tweet they put up there trying to knock my home state of Florida on their coronavirus response, which is pretty bizarre. CNN since Governor Santos reopened Florida in late September, the number of reported covid-19 cases per week in the state is triple. Now, of course, CNN isn't an actual news outlet, there are propaganda agitprop outlet for the left. So CNN, of course, targets Florida, so you'd believe that, gosh, a tripling in Florida of these infections, right?

[00:48:09]

That sounds really horrible.

[00:48:10]

And it is. But of course, when you put it in context, they target Florida because Florida has a Republican governor that refuses to lock down the state. But when you look at actual facts, something CNN never does, have a fact check. That guy, Dan Dale, who's a total joke at CNN, he's there, fact fact checker. So we went to the CDC's website to see how horrible Florida was doing relative to everyone else, because that's the implication is that not by the sea and into Florida.

[00:48:35]

Oh, my gosh, what a uniquely horrible situation with those terrible Republicans down there in Florida. And Trump won the state to even worse. So we went to the CDC site and I pulled up the charts to see clearly Florida is at the top. So, again, Joe, let's go through this again, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. So, no, no, they're not at the top of North Dakota, Wyoming, New Mexico, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa.

[00:48:55]

And it was kind of West Florida, Utah, Nebraska, Kansas, Indiana, Rhode Island, Illinois, Colorado, Oklahoma, Idaho. No, Florida, Alaska, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't see it either. OK, Paula, can we go to page two? We had to go to page two to find Florida because CNN says this is a uniquely terrible situation. And of course, that's the implication of the article, how Nevada, Arkansas, Tennessee, Connecticut, West Virginia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Delaware, Guam, New Jersey, Alabama, Mississippi, Maryland, Texas, Florida.

[00:49:22]

There it is, Florida at the bottom. Oh, my gosh. Oh, we heard. We heard. Yeah. Crazy how that happens. Nice job, CNN, of course, and you know what they'll say, this is what this is what they do again, showing you how these people are clowns, clowns, bozos. Bozo's crusty's, remember Krusty? They'll say to you, our tweet is accurate, the coronavirus infections have tripled her. But why are you focusing on them, not other states that have had far greater outbreaks?

[00:50:01]

The answer is because you don't like the Republican governor of Florida because you won't lock down. That's it. As I said, we are Flexner. Another quick one. What did I tell you about the vaccine story that, you know, the goons in the media and on the left would never, ever. Give credit to President Trump for Operation Warp Speed and one of the greatest accomplishments in the health care space in modern human history, the development of a vaccine to this deadly virus in record time.

[00:50:32]

They would never give him credit. What did I say to you last week that they would have to make the story not about the development of the vaccine, because you can't dispute that even Haak media outlets can't say it didn't happen under their trump because it did. You can't make two plus two equals seven. You can try. They did with the people's. But that's even a bridge too far for them. So in the Benicio Del Toro, usual suspects, we'll flip you off Lippy for a they're going to have to flip the story to make the story about the delivery process of the vaccine.

[00:51:03]

The Biden administration is going to point out from now until President Trump, if he doesn't win a second term, leaves office, they will point out every single flaw in the vaccine delivery process to say, look, they might have happened under Trump, but they totally screwed up the delivery. It's not about it's not about listen, it's not about the vaccine, Joe, because they can't win that argument. It's about the delivery. Did I not say that?

[00:51:27]

Did I not say that? She never pat yourself on the back, but I'm doing it. Sorry, Washington Examiner, check out this piece is in the show notes this week on China.com newsletter if you want to access the show notes. Biden and his team are lowering expectations for their management of the pandemic. This gets interesting, but very scary when you go down in the piece in the.

[00:51:51]

There's this interesting line. Biden insiders, here's one of their quotes from Ron Klain, who is was announced as Biden, if he wins his chief of staff, Klain said with a straight face, and I quote, Vaccines don't save lives. Vaccinations save lives.

[00:52:12]

Oh, as predicted, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Kenny Bell time I told you got to stop the candy because it goes on forever. I told you so. It's not about the vaccine now, it's about vaccinations and the delivery. Which, of course, they will now take credit for if, in fact, Joe Biden wins this election. And they will point out every single little flaw in this massive health care achievement and the delivery of that said vaccine.

[00:52:51]

And then the media will cover for them and make Joe Biden look like the hero. Did I not tell you you're going to see me? It's not about the vaccine now. It's about vaccinations. It's not about the development which is under President Trump. It's about the process. Sometimes I wish I was wrong and we not always two weeks ahead of this. Well, we don't know. I mean, I know my Aunt Jane. God rest her soul said Self-Paced thinks, and it does.

[00:53:16]

But I'm proud to let you know you're not wasting your time here. I told you that was going to happen because the media hacks and goons, they can't just come out and say this is one of the greatest health care achievements that happened under President Trump in modern history. They won't say it's not about vaccines. It's about vaccinations, which is weird, Joe, because last time I checked, vaccinations can't happen without vaccines. Right. I'm just sick.

[00:53:36]

Have you ever gone to a CVS or a Wal-Mart and said, I want the vaccine for the hantavirus? And they come out, say, here you go, sir? No, because I'm not sure if there is a vaccine for the hantavirus or not. And I'm pretty sure CBS doesn't have it. So the vaccination for the hantavirus can happen if they don't actually have the vaccine for the hantavirus. Just putting that out there, how that works.

[00:54:00]

Crazy order, procedure, reason, logic, Joan's having a tough time doing a lot to digest. We put a lot on joke that sometimes shows heavily involved. Sometimes I go on tour and Joe just lets me do my thing. Joe is overwhelmed with information. He's totally confused.

[00:54:19]

No. All right, this is my favorite story of the day and my favorite, I mean, worst. I don't mean where it isn't, I'm laughing at myself and I'm crying, I'm not kidding, I shouldn't do that. Never laugh at your own Joe. This is terrible that I so I saw this story and I'm not joking. I thought I, I thought it was a joke when I first read it. So I had to look it up and I went to one of my go to you know, I go to the Washington Examiner a lot.

[00:54:45]

And the story's actually true, remember Jordan Peterson, noted lecturer, author, prominent personality, does speeches, just a very popular famous guy, wrote a mega best selling book, as I tell 12 Rules for Life and one of Paula's favorites. And really, really good. Forgive me, I don't remember the exact it's like 12 rules for life, but you can look it up. Jordan Peterson in the book did bonkers numbers. It was on the New York Times bestseller list for ever.

[00:55:16]

So he's got a sequel to it coming out. So here's this, this is a real headline is not a joke. Spencer Neill, Washington Examiner. So Penguin Random House is a publishing house publishing the book. Their Canadian staff reportedly reportedly cried after news of Jordan Pieterson book. I'm crying, laughing at these idiots. Because Jordan Peterson has spoken out for free speech, something I strongly believe in, in civil liberties, and Jordan Peterson has refused to use pronouns that being forced onto him, Zou and other things like that.

[00:55:54]

Jordan penises. No, I will refer to you by your biological sex.

[00:55:58]

Jordan Peterson has become a target of the totalitarian tyrants who want to shut down anyone with an opposing viewpoint on anything. So they showed up the employees, these WUST bags in this company, crying liquid IPOs, and you're not embarrassed about this. This is you this is an actual story, folks. This goes back and reminds me of an episode I did a long time ago about these basement dwelling total losers. These pathetic, weak, pitiful, feeble minded, weak snowflakes who actually showed up to work and cried because of a book written by a guy that they don't like.

[00:56:53]

I think back to a story I told often, but I have a lot of new listeners. In my prior line of work. I was out once doing a site, I was a young agent, I was like, I don't know, 24. It was one of my first sites as a post and as the Secret Service guy. You story out to say, hey, watch this wall or whatever. I mean, that's what the new guys get, the crappiest assignments.

[00:57:16]

You don't get any responsibility because you new when you could screw something up. So I go out there and it was a Sunni college, I don't know what it was, New Paltz or whatever in New York. And Bill Clinton was doing a site there and an appearance there. So I'm a post down there and, you know, you're never given any responsibility, but I guess I was just in the right spot at the right time. Bill Clinton decides it's a good idea to walk from the basketball court.

[00:57:39]

He was given the speech out into the stanchions. You know, those pull out wooden like bleacher type things. We're like, what do we do? I'm new, I've been on the job like ten minutes, I don't know, I just got out of the academy. And the boss at the time, this guy, Al, who was the big shot on the Clinton detail, he's like, hey, you. Numb nuts, whatever he had just say, said, hey, you know, grabs me, he says, get up and you know, I'm talking about they roll out to like what they have no very little back to them.

[00:58:09]

You can fall off them to do that. Then I go up there. Clinton shaking hands. People go. Grab it. Trying to pet him or whatever, Clinton, we love you. It's chaos. So this guy, I mean, I must not be reacting fast of this guy, Al, like, grabs me and almost throws me off the bleacher like 20 feet down days. Like, you get down there and put whatever stop those maniacs from petting our guy.

[00:58:43]

Folks, I kind of like cracked my skull open, did I cry, was I whining? Am I even made it out today? No, because I've got a Hoeness and these people don't because it's a freakin job. Go to work. You total dip wads and losers. No crying in freakin baseball and there's no crying in your job. Go to work. Published a book, take your soup cooler so it shut and shut up. I'm not even mad at all, we had to protect the guy, I don't even like Bill Clinton, who knows who was petting who, I don't even care.

[00:59:20]

My job was to protect Bill Clinton. The guy almost killed me. And you know what? I did it. Then I go in the holding room and start crying. Alamo's to me down the stairs. No, because I'm not a wussy. Let me tell you something. The most valuable experiences in my life. I'm not messing with you. I mentioned this on the show a long time ago, some of you remember. We're mopping floors and cleaning mausoleums.

[00:59:55]

That sounds very reductionist there. No, it's not. Not talking about the most intellectual experiences of my life or. Experiences that developed the cheban and aptitude capabilities, I'm talking about character building, exercise character, which is at the top of the totem pole of wisdom and knowledge, come after character. You don't have character. Wisdom and knowledge can be very dangerous. Just check the history books. The most informative and learned character experiences in my life. We're mopping floors and cleaning Muslims.

[01:00:30]

What does this have to do with this Jordan Peterson story? I can guarantee you. These tier one level gold medal winning bags. These wusses who broke down in tears about a book. About a book. I have never had a real job mopping the floor, cleaning a mausoleum in their life. Clean mausoleums. Oh, I did. That was a wonderful experience, especially the ones that didn't pay why? Because then you would have to go in, you know, they have to pay for the maintenance.

[01:01:04]

So some of you know what the mausoleum is. It's a big concrete like structure where they store bodies. I clean those pretty much every summer in the cemetery. It was a wonderful experience. When they didn't pay for five, 10 years, you go in the mausoleum and the stench would be overwhelming. I mean, obviously it's their dead bodies. Sometimes they weren't sealed, right? And there'd be spiders and millipedes and centipedes or whatever, and they'd as you open the door, they'd fall down your shirt and have to wear a hat.

[01:01:36]

They'd be like this big, you have cobwebs everywhere. It was a great experience and by great, I mean atrocious. But I got out the spic and span, remember, spic and span. Remember that we had the spic and span and then we had the little polisher and stuff and I'd sit there for hours cleaning at their Muslim. Clean that thing till it was you could eat off the floors. I'm not kidding. Marble was shining when I left.

[01:02:06]

Because it was my job. And that's what I did. And that job mattered to me. I learned the value of work. Seeing something through to completion. Starts one way you work. That task ends another way with value added, a clean Muslim. You learn to find efficiencies. Find quicker ways to get things done. Better ways. You learn the value of sweat spiders down your shirt, centipedes crawling down your unit when they fall down your drawers.

[01:02:47]

That's always great. Actually happened. Wonderful, right? What's that? It's a millipede that a millipede. Your body is happy to see me. So it's a millipede. Oh, yeah. That's what I said. You learned how to orient yourself to a task. You learn how to take instructions from people who knew better. But again, I'll say this again, you learn most importantly, the value of work and sweat. I can guarantee you.

[01:03:18]

Guarantee you. The snowflake phony fraud waste bag sitting there crying, crying in an office about a book. I have never cleaned the mausoleum or mop the floor in their lives. You're pathetic. Sad, pathetic, whiny, pitiful human beings, and I, I legitimately I'm not kidding, I pity you, I pity your families and anybody associated with you crying over a book. Pathetic. All right, folks, I hope you enjoyed the show today, have a very happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.
