Dan Bongino, welcome to the Bongino brief. I'm Dan Bongino. Here's this piece by Tiana Lowe at The Washington Examiner. You heard about the Dr. Jill Biden controversy. Here's a piece, first headline Tiana Lowe at the Washington Examiner meltdown over Dr. Jill Biden, a preview of media civility toward Biden. So just to be clear, there was an opinion piece written in The Wall Street Journal by Joseph Epstein. In the opinion piece, Epstein suggests that Joe Biden's wife, Jill Biden, being referred to as doctor is a little bit ridiculous because she has an

Education degree, not my take, his take. Not knocking people with education degrees, I'm simply suggesting that Epstein's opinion is fair enough, that the term doctor maybe shouldn't be so widely used. I think run... Of the running jokes about "Doctor," actually in The Washington Post, I might add. Weird, isn't it? I think it's in... You can actually check this out in a search engine, is basically if you can't crack open my chest and prescribe me medicine, we're not going to use the title doctor.

OK, Washington Post, not me, Washington Post not my take. So just to be clear, the leftist take now is if you have a Ph.D. or an education doctorate, whatever it is, you should be referred to as "Doctor". Now, someone else we all know has a PhD, not a medical doctor. Joe, you may have met this guy, Gorka, right?

Doesn't Sebastian Sebastian Gorka have a PhD?

[00:01:37]

I believe so, Yes.

And was that a Gorka voice?

[00:01:41]

I was trying to do the Gorka.

Gorka, who's a friend of mine, full disclosure, "I'm Sebastian Gorka." [mimics Dr. Gorka, Dan and Joe chuckle] I love this guy's voice. The guy's got a great voice. "Dr. Sebastian Gorka," I don't have a voice like that. He's a good friend of mine, good man. He has a PhD too. So the liberal "rules" rules always come with the air quotes. Are any PhD, if you don't dare refer to them as doctor, it is a grotesque it's a "grotesquity" to make up a word, a grotesque getting a stain on humankind.

Well, let's see how noted academic Samantha Bee. I'm just joking. She's a clown comedian, but the liberals love her. Let's watch this little mini clip of Sebast... Samantha Bee absolutely melting down on her show when Gorka wanted to be referred to as Dr. Gorka. Check this out.

[Samantha Bee] "Despite Gorka's insistence that everyone call him doctor, which is the universal mark of a real, non-fraudulent, intellectual, smart person, it turns out Dr. Gorka has published as many papers and peer reviewed academic journals as Dr. McStuffins, zero."

Gorka, by the way, who has an IQ, probably 40 to 50 points higher than Samantha Bee, subjective, withering criticism from this idiot who, just to be clear, our principal, everybody's laughing to the clapping seals in the audience "Ha, ha, ha," who probably none of them actually have PhDs, think it's hilarious that Sebastian Gorka would prefer the use of an honorific. I am not into those, but whatever, he's a friend of mine I respect him for it. More in a minute, but first. [break for advertisement]

So weird now that they're changing the rules... again. Just so we're clear, again, media, not so funny, people in the media, the people they adore, the liberals, when it was Gorka and it was Dr. Ben Carson, which I'm going to get to in a second, an actual, an actual medical doctor.

Movies have been made about his medical expertise, Ben Carson, a genius in every sense of the word when it was them, don't dare use the term doctor. But Dr. Jill Biden, who has an education degree, don't you dare not refer to her as Dr. Jill Biden. I'll refer to people however I choose. You don't like it. I'm really sorry. You're going to have to find a new show.

I had a title once, it was Special Agent Daniel Bongino, that was my actual title. "SA-Don," as Paula remembers. One of these days, I'll tell you that story, it's a great story. Who the hell "SA-Don"? I got to tell you, I'm sorry. I sent a fax to my wife once she was working in the city and it and I had on the thing "SA," as for special agent, Dan Bongino. Her friend, pulls the facts off and goes, Who's this guy, "Saddan"? It's "special agent," not "Saddan", especially like Saddam. They almost messed it up.

I never once asked someone, sir, please call me "Agent." That was my title, because I don't care. You want to do your thing, do your thing. But liberals are phonies. Look at this from the Washington Examiner piece that the Tiana Lowe piece. So in 2015, R Street Institute scholar RJ Lindman tackled the question of who gets the coveted designation of doctor in the pages of The New York Times. This was back when world renowned neurosurgeon Ben Carson was notably snubbed.

So just to be clear, the left who wants to refer to everybody, as "Doctor" now, because we don't call Dr. Jill Biden "Doctor". Here's how they felt about an actual Dr. Ben Carson.

Quote: This is The New York Times. Plus, head to head, we see that the Times blog refers to Dr. Jill Biden as "Doctor" nearly half the time, 48%, while referring to Ben Carson as "Doctor" just 8.9% of the time, Laman wrote, she's called Mrs. Biden just 6%, ...6.9% of the time, while he is called Mr. Carson 34% of the time.

So just to be clear, Jill Biden, who's got a degree in education, is called doctor more often than Ben Carson, who is one of the prominent neurosurgeons in the history of humankind. Ladies and gentlemen, if your head is spinning right now, Regan-from-The-Exorcist style and the pea soup's coming out next, because you don't expect... Don't don't try to pin logic on liberals. They don't have any.

They don't have any rules about "believe all women," it's all made up. They don't believe anything. They don't have any rules about when to call people, "Doctor." They weaponize the language daily and change the rules to attack conservatives. That is the only reason they do any of this. These are spineless buffoons with not a shred of character. And don't ever forget it.
