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

What if I said what have I said over and over? If we don't adopt the left's tactics soon, there will be no tactics left to adopt because there will be no more people for the left to fight because we will all be gone, will evaporate like a like an Alka Seltzer tablet. There will be no conservative movement, MAGGA movement, libertarian movement or republican movement left. I've said it over and over. Going to dig into that today is Saul Alinsky rules make another appearance on the show.

All right, producer Joe, let's go. Oh thank you. Good to be back on a Monday. All right. Let's get right into it with this video. So listen, one of the great benis, you know, the Beny packages and work, get some Bennie's health care, whatever it is, one of the great benis of the Trump years, the Trump presidency we're all missing right now is he taught us that. The media are hostile enterprise when it comes to the truth, largely not all of them, but most of them, and that you should use your microphones, all of them.

That's not just Trump. All of us should use our microphone to immediately stop and fight back with a ferocity against false narratives. Use your microphones, whether it's your social media account, whether you're a governor of a large state and Florida like around the Santurce, whether you're Donald Trump with the biggest microphone in the world, everybody should use their microphones to fight back immediately. Here is a perfect example from one of Trump's fantastic attorneys who did a spectacular job in the impeachment hearing on Saturday.

Some of you may have seen this clip, some that it's long. I just wanted to this is just the end of it. I don't want to play the whole thing because it went viral this weekend. This is Michael Van Der Veen, one of President Trump's attorneys in the impeachment hoax. In, again, a doctor of philosophy PhD level course in a minute on how to deal with the media. Let me set it up quick. He's on an interview with CBS and one of these alleged reporters.

It's talking about how the Democrats and the impeachment hearing actually doctored evidence, they added verified blue check marks to Twitter accounts to make the Twitter accounts appear more serious. Look, they're verified. This is a really important person. They actually changed the date on a tweet from twenty twenty to twenty twenty one to make it seem like the tweet was connected to the January 6th Capitol incident. They actually doctored evidence. And the reporters like, you know, to be fair, in other words, like taking the edge off it, like it's not a big deal.

Van der Veen shuts that. Stuff, we're on terrestrial radio right down DFD course in how to deal with the media. Check this out.

I will remind you that what I said was that for our viewers who have not been following all of the hours of of this trial, to be clear about what you what you are speaking about and I understand speaking to the House, hearing a failure to prove their case, that's that's what I'm talking about, able to prove their acquittal.

You have won the acquittal of your client. If you'd like to continue to talk about this conversation, we can have that discussion.

But for me to ask a question and answer questions, a slanted question that was set up to say it's OK for them to cheat. That was your question, isn't it? I didn't mean for them to cheat.

I didn't. Just a little bit. You said to be fair, it was a fine check.

That's what you said. You had to live by your word. That's the problem. The media has to start living by the truth and not trying to create a narrative. Michael vandeven Yeah. Thank you for joining us. I do appreciate. Yeah, OK.

Oh, I see you taking off your microphone now. That was President Trump's defense attorney, Michael Vanderveer.

Oh, oh, oh. Hi, my man. There it is. Thank you for Torcy, Joe knows the radio rules. There's seven seconds of dead air and they start going to the best stuff because on terrestrial radio, terrestrial radio, nobody likes that. So just kind of mumbling in the background to make sure that all our affiliates are on radio, don't go to, you know, don't go to commercial or something. No, we're still we're we're still here.

That's how it's done. It's how it's done. I wish I had the cigar, too, but that thing's kind of gross right now. Now people start sending me cigars. But what do people do anything, Onaga? That's how it's done, folks. What how what's done so we can learn something from this I never, ever like to do shows where we just put it out there, go, hey, I was great. Look, they really wrecked and they did he did wreck that journalists.

But notice how uncomfortable she is when she's confronted by the fact that she tried to frame a question to pitch a false narrative. And rather than answering the question which affirms the false narrative, what is Mr. Van driving do? He really corrects and reframes the question in the appropriate way and puts her entirely on the defensive. Ladies and gentlemen, never ask a question. Answer a question from the media. That is not, in fact, the question.

It's a statement. Never, that was not a question she wanted to minimize the Democrats, you get what happened there. The reporter air quotes there wanted to minimize the Democrats manipulating evidence in an impeachment trial, manipulating evidence in an impeachment trial. She wanted to minimize it, by the way, a tactic, Joe, in any criminal or civil trial outside of the Congress that would get you immediately disbarred, immediately disbarred and thrown off the trial. A mistrial declared immediately.

She wants to minimize it just as well, to be fair, and he doesn't take any of it. Who is that? What's inside, what's going on here? We got some we got like a green room inside here. It's like spraying. That's exactly how you reframe immediately. You don't let the narrative go forward under any circumstances. You stop it right there and reframe it and notice one other thing he did, which was terrific. OK. He says at one point, he says, Michael Vandeven Citizen.

Citizen. Well done, Mr. Vandeven. Good job. Vandeven did a spectacular job. During the impeachment trial as well, he did another thing, this is during the trial that was an interview afterwards, of course, President Trump, which we knew was going to be acquitted on these ridiculous charges.

He was up there and he called out another thing that happened. Here's the actual video from from the impeachment trial. What Mr. Vanderveer, one of President Trump's lawyers, again calling out the left on how not only they manipulated evidence, but everything they seem to have is hearsay upon hearsay, upon hearsay. It's a joke. It's one of these Tony heard from Bobby that Paula told Tony. Bobby said that he overheard Tony telling Bobby that Mary told I'm running out of names, Isabel, that Amelia told me that Drew told Joe that something happened.

Now, Joe, what's the reason we don't allow hearsay in trials and we don't allow doctored evidence? Because it's probably a bad idea, because you have this thing is Joe knows called the phone game that by the time a quote gets the sixty two thousand people, it makes it into court. It's not actually the same quote anymore. Someone tells someone the sky is blue by the time it makes it into the wind. By the time it makes it into the courts, the statement is I'm high is low.

The highest alert. You've been smoking weed. I said the sky is blue. That's why we don't allow hearsay. But that's not exactly what the Democrats, in addition to doctoring evidence, did. And now their second failed impeachment trial trumping now, as the Babylon B said, accurate headline show the most acquitted president in US history.

We did twice. They based most of their case on reports they heard in the media. Not what actual people said, very weird, good job by Mr. Van Divin calling that out to check this out.

First of all, it's my understanding it's been reported that Mr. McCarthy disclaims the rumors that have been the basis of this morning's antics. But really, the rumors that have been the basis of this entire proceeding, this entire proceeding is based on rumor, report, innuendo. There's nothing to it. And they didn't do their work, just like what happened with Mr. Lee two or three nights ago. There's some supposed conversation. It happened and they had to withdraw that.

They had to back off of that because it was false. It was a false narrative.

So it's done. I have to tell you, folks, I've never heard of Mr. Vandeven before. Maybe some of you know him or don't, but what a job. Unbelievably well done as they took it right back to the Democrats, inciting violence, inciting violence. What about your history of inciting violence? And the best case you can make is that someone heard that someone heard McCarthy said this, while McCarthy says that's not exactly what I heard Kevin McCarthy there talking about.

Well done. Let me repeat what I said in the beginning. If you're running for office, you're a conservative activist, you're on social media, you all have a microphone. If there is a lesson from the Trump era, I'll say it again. It is that you should use your microphone to always call out false narratives and never, ever ask a question. That is not a legitimate question, but a statement, correct. The statement and the false framing first.

Correct, the statement in the false framing first, Vanderveer just did it twice, did you catch it in the first interview? The reporter tries to frame the question as well. They may have doctored evidence, but it's not a big deal. He's not answering the question about doctoring evidence till he addresses the reporter who thinks it's not a big deal. Very nice. Secondly, what does he do? Did you catch it, Joe? You catch it, VanDerBeek doesn't address the reports because the reports are inaccurate.

It's hearsay. He addresses the fact that the Democrats have based their case on hearsay, which isn't even admissible, and he attacks the whole report's narrative. This guy is a genius. This Vanderveer. Where's this guy been? Can we hire this guy? Is it possible we hire this guy? We can always use a good lawyer. Can we rate probably went through the roof after this. It gets better, so lesson number one, use your microphone, lesson number two, always, always correct false narratives before answering a question about a false narrative.

We all have to learn this and we'll get to Wolinsky shortly to. Watch this video, sorry is a lot of video, but it's important I don't like to beat you over the head with video, but this today it's critical. Rarely do we start the show with four straight. But that's going to happen today. President Trump's legal team also took the opportunity, another excellent lawyer, David Shewn, who did a terrific job to confront the second false narrative, President Trump incited violence on his January six speech.

He did what by calling people to march peacefully and patriotically. That's the actual transcript of President Trump's words. How does that how that's inciting violence is beyond me. But if you're a liberal lunatic and your media allies, that probably makes sense to you because you're not saying. So, again, instead of addressing that. That entirely false premise. He attacks the premise head on that is it really President Trump? That was inciting violence. Maybe before we even get to that question, we should establish who's really inciting violence and they went on with this six to 10 minute video.

And remember how long showing the Democrats calling for a fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight. And he actually inciting violence themselves. He does that and then he did this, they took the opportunity, the Trump team and their lawyer, David Stone, for the first time. In a long time with a national audience, why do I say this is the first time a national audience of people that were watching the impeachment hoax hearing on Saturday?

Joe, this is the first time they've heard this. They have been told for four years now, three years from now, four years, that President Trump after the disaster in Charlottesville. And the death of Heather higher, they have been told, and people believe it's still Joe. That President Trump said that there were very fine people on both sides and clearly their narrative was this the president Trump was talking about white supremacists, that they were very fine people, we call it.

Was interested in the truth to find people Hoke's. Because that's not exactly what President Trump said. And they edited it, they edited the evidence again, and David shewn calls them out in this piece where I'm telling you, the national audience for the first time is hearing the truth about the fine people hoax. Check this out.

Well, this lie traveled around the world a few times, made its way into the Biden campaign talking points and ended up on the Senate floor. The Charlottesville lie very fine people on both sides, except that isn't all he said. And they knew it then and they know it. Now, watch this.

But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides.

You had people in that group. Excuse me. Excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did.

You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of to them a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name that George Washington was a slave owner was George Washington a slave owner.

So will George Washington now lose his status? Are we going to take down excuse me? Are we going to take down are we going to take down statues to George? How about Thomas Jefferson? What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? You like them? OK, good.

Are we going to take down the statue because he was a major slave owner. Now, are we going to take down his statue? So you know what? It's fine. You're changing history. You're changing culture. And you had people and I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists.

OK, that's probably the first time people across the country have heard that actual speech because they've been lied to by a propaganda media that wanted you to believe President Trump was referring to white supremacists as fine people, even though he very specifically and clearly in the unedited video, the undoctored video, not the one the Democrats who doctored the evidence use, clearly says, and I am not talking about these white supremacist, white or white or whatever he said. Exactly.

He said they are to be condemned completely. Those are just his words. Those are those are just his words. Again, an example of takeaway number two from today, do not answer questions on false narratives are not questions. Their statements by you answering the question you play into their false narrative shown took the opportunity to correct that two. Let's go back to lesson number one and I want to move on to Alinsky rules and how they apply to what happened this weekend, where Cancel Culture are taking oral Dianabol right now.

That's a steroid for those of you who don't remember the 70s and the bodybuilder Dianabol era back then where they probably chewed them like Tic Tacs, Cancio cultures metastasizing. But let me get to this one to our good friend, Rhonda Santurce, who we really love, who is absolutely terrific as the governor of Florida, shows you again how you can use a microphone, not play into media false narratives and get it out there. Every one of you. It's not just him.

Get the truth out there and re-establish people in a bedrock home of truth and authenticity. This guy does it great. He is going to be a serious, serious contender in the future for the for national office, the presidency, maybe Senate afterwards, whatever he decides. Here's Governor Rhonda Santurce using his microphone like we should all be doing to correct this false narrative that schools should be shut down because of some catastrophic risk to students from the coronavirus, which is inaccurate.

Check this out.

We follow the evidence in the data. We didn't follow special interest. We didn't follow hysteria. We did what was right by students and families. And we're much better for that. And the fact that you're going to have schools that are going to be closed for this entire school year and probably even into the fall is a national disgrace. Florida lead on education. We were there for our working parents. We were there for our students. And we're going to continue to do that.

And we are not turning back.

As I said, use your microphone. Correct the narratives. Ladies and gentlemen, if you answered the questions without correcting the narratives in advance, Trump called white supremacists find people false. It's OK to Dr Evidence, you know, to be fair. Now, to be fair, is to not Doctor Evans correct the narrative's use your microphone, use your microphone, you have power now using social media and other platforms we did not have 20 years ago. What are you going to do, write a letter to the editor at the paper that was your best option?

You were lucky it got printed. Everybody has a letter to the editor. Now you're the editor. And social media is that tool. Use your microphone. It matters. All right, now, next, I want to get to cancel culture absolutely metastasizing, and I want to importantly because I never like to leave you without solutions, it's easy to complain. Everybody does it. I like to do it a lot. It's cathartic, makes me feel good.

But solutions matter, not complaints. We'll get to that in a second. Don't miss that block Today show also brought to you by our friends at Magic Spoon. Hey, growing up, we all know it all.

Thanks Matchpoint for sponsoring this episode.

So we just took a short break. You didn't even notice because Paula splices it all together. But Joe had a one of his pearls of wisdom again will be covered at the end of the show. We will end today's show today. So you have to stay tuned to the end. I hate to say this, but it's true. It's a seven second video of our Hero of the day. Don't worry, I won't sing Metallica again. I don't know.

I might. It depends. I got a lot of complaints about my Metallica seeing how awful it was. But the video at the end of the day, judges set it right because he's clever. And I'm not just like, hey, it's another guy. Use the microphone. You'll see at the end of the show, our hero of the day will decide on Metallica. I'm going through it in my head now.

First, cancel culture. Cancel culture. Metastasizing. And importantly, how to how we're going to talk about how to get it back, just the news. John Solomon site, great piece today, cancer culture hits fever pitch. Journalists, critics, actors, TV host, musicians in the crosshairs. Folks, I really am having a hard time going through all the examples of just the cancer culture episodes that have happened since Friday. I'm not kidding because it's gotten so bad.

It's really tough to keep track. We've had reporters since just this last week. Reporters, even at liberal rags, canceled. We had Gina Carano, excellent actress and a real American hero right now, canceled from the Mandalorian on Disney. Plus, I hope you canceled your Disney plus, folks. What else? Oh, The Bachelor. The Bachelor. The Bachelor. Dude is there. Joe, is there ever been a more like, benign, nonpolitical dude than Chris Harrison at The Bachelor?

Man, it's like Tony. Do you accept this? Rose What? What the hell is that? Do you accept this rose guy got canceled? Not a joke. You may be laughing like. Come on then. To Chris Harrison. Do you accept the rose guy? You know his face. You may not know his name. Yes. He got canceled to Jon Solomon's piece. Just the news, quote, There's blood in the water, folks cancel cultures, seemingly growing intolerance.

This is. I hate when I cut myself off, but this is genius may be related to several factors, according to Phillip Smith, a professor of sociology at Yale University. Wow. Yale at an actual moment of brilliance here. Very strange how that happened. Quote, Here's Phillip Smith, this professor. I guess we can argue that there's an interaction effect between social media, the psychodynamics of a brief moment of mob power, free floating, free floating anxiety and rage that can latch onto something and the pleasure of moral indignation, Smith told just the news.

Bengoa, just like Joe Biden when he said he was going to take your guns, came through with that, too. Try and right now we'll hopefully get to that later, if not tomorrow. That's important to critical takeaways from that first screenshot. Just the news. Little hyperbole, folks. That's OK. First, Joe, what do we talk about last week, we canceled culture. There's power in the mom. There's power, people crave power, ladies and gentlemen, it's not complicated, it may sound overly philosophical and metaphysical in some weird way.

It's not it's just a simple, tautological truth and fact. Power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely. To quote Lord Acton, people crave power. Why? Because the same reason we crave. Five guys burgers because it tastes good. Power just feels good, it leads to things like prestige. A padding of your ego, it gives people who have. Sadly, and I do mean sadly, rather meaningless lives in many cases. It gives a meaning and a cause.

Mob power is even better because you can lose yourself in the cause without having to take responsibility for its out from its outcome. What do I mean by that quick story, if I may point, of personal privilege here? When I was a police officer with the NYPD, one of the things they used to teach us in riot control training. Was that if you're looking at someone straight ahead of you and you're on that line holding the bike rack while people are ripping it, taking it apart and trying to attack you and riot, one of the best things to do is if you can get their name to look them in the eye and say.

Brorby. Calm down, this is brilliant, but why why does that matter? Why is a person in the middle of a riot care about having their name and being asked? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. One of the advantages of being in a mob, whether it's a cancer culture mob online or an actual mob in real life, is the ability to emote, feel your power so your voice, but not face any of the personal consequences.

So you get lost in the collective action. When someone looks you in the eye and says your name specifically, it personalizes you again, it grounds you back and you rather than this collective mob that seems to take over where people just do stupid things. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm telling you, I've tried it multiple times. It works. He personalizes people, it makes them realize what they're doing has consequences for them personally. They can't just blame the mom.

I know it sounds crazy, but it works its power in a mob. Second point that Professor Smith there made. It's there's pleasure in it, ladies and gentlemen. There's not only power in the castle mob, but there's pleasure in it, Joe, it's just just a fact, right? If you don't like doing something, you stop doing it. A lot of things Joe and I don't like we stop doing this. Shows evolved so much from the early SoundCloud days.

You can only find those episodes there that it's probably unrecognizable to people. If you just started listening to go back and listen by because Joe and I didn't like stuff we like, that's good. That's not going to stop doing it. You know, me and Joe didn't sit down and go, we don't like that segment. Let's do more of it. Nobody does that. We're laughing. But it's true. So if you don't like cancelling people and you get no sense of enjoyment out of it, you would stop doing it.

But they don't. It's only getting worse. That's why this is so dangerous. But let's go right now that we've set up the problem, liberals, the radical left this cancer of culture acolytes love mob power No. One, and they get some sense of satisfaction from it. Number two, how do we fight back and what's the problem? Well, I can tell you first, let's first say what we shouldn't do. What what not to do with cancer.

Culture czar. Choke myself there.

He also suggested this is the professor, a blood in the water effect might be at play. One where folks pile on if they sense humiliation is possible. Quote, Whatever the person being cancelled says is turned against them and feeds the fire, he said the best strategy is probably to say nothing and wait for things to go away, the opposite of what businesses are told about the need for an apology up front. And right now, public apologies, of course, are a hallmark of cancer culture.

With rare exceptions, public figures often rushed quickly to issue apologies on social media in an effort to forestall any more damage. Joe Biden is going to now steal your guns again, bingo, Bago. Apologizing will do you no good, folks. It only feeds the sense of power and the sense of pleasure people gain from having that power overview. They don't care about the apology, just gas that the rose guy from the. Do you accept this Rose?

Cancel cultures like a double barreled middle finger. Go. Stuck yourself. Cancel culture cares about apologies. No, not at all. So why do you do them? Because some PR person told me to do it, do they have any actual evidence it works? No, they have none. So why are you doing it? So let's talk about now how to fight back and how to win, because I just told you what not to do, which is if you feel like you're being canceled, listen, if you screw something up really bad, you know.

You're like a serial killer and you're busted. Yeah, you probably should be canceled, but for episodes like this, this new craze where everybody's canceled everything, do not apologize. Make no, no. It's a waste of your time. Why would you do it? So I now just told you what not to do. Here's what we do. Was it Tommy Boy? I need a culture expert around here, Joe, good with music, but he's OK with that, but not that.

Is that a fair assessment? You're not insulting him. I'm not a movie guy. You're not like Joe's. Not Mr. Movie. Yeah, me either. But I'm pretty sure Chris Farley, God rest his soul in Tommy Boy. It may have been Tommy Boy, the one that came after that. I call it the that's your theory approach, if you see the movie, you know, Joe has no idea what I'm talking about. Either this Paul or anyone else, but.

In the movie, every time someone insults Chris Farley, who plays this happy dance in the movie, who inherits this company from his dad, doesn't know what to do with it. Every time someone insults him, he just goes. That's your theory. It doesn't mean anything. But it's the perfect response to everything. It's when you see the movie, you'll laugh and you'll think of the show. This is the new approach to cancer culture, but no apologies.

And that's your theory. That's your response for everything. And laugh it off. Again, that doesn't work, really. Let's go back to Saul Alinsky rules, Saul Alinsky, famous radical leftist organizer, scion of the left, the left is used. Alinsky is, what, 13 rules. Forever to organize very sophisticated attacks against conservatives, libertarians and Magga supporters. What are his rules? Well, how does Kinsel culture work? Let's go back to Wolinsky rule here.

Number one, I'm going to go to three of them here. Here's number one of three we're going to talk about today. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it. That's what they do, right? Gina Carano became a target, Disney plus Mandalorian actress and what we who we believe to be a conservative, she may she may not be, but based on some of our post, what she does, this crazy thing, Joe, supporting liberty and freedom and asking questions, you know, verboten amongst the very bad amongst the cancer culture.

So how did they do it? Well, of the multitude of targets they had available that day, the radical left decided to pick Gina Carano, freeze it, don't let her off the hook. Go to Twitter, Facebook, all of your biased social media, non section 230 campaign platforms. Freeze her in place and attack. Personalize it. Tell stories about how Gina Carano, daring to ask questions about mask usage, has personally led to the death of your grandma, whatever, they probably make most of the stories up.

Of course, the connection is totally ridiculous, but they make it personal. I used to say when I ran for office, the left is very good about making things bleed. Bleed, in other words, feel alive. Anything to make it real, make it so you pinch it and it's like you can almost feel it. The left is great at that. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it. Polarizing create polls like a magnet.

You're either with us or you're against us. How do they do that? Folks, it's genius, and for you not to adopt the tactic, you'd be foolish yourself. You say things like Disney Plus continues to let Gina Carano play Kara Doon in the Mandalorian and act and make a living as an actress. They are definitely anti science and they're anti Semitic, too, because Gina Carano posted a statement about the dangers of Nazi Germany and group think. Well, that connection seems a little weird that she would be anti-Semitic warning about the effects of anti-Semitism.

It doesn't matter if it's real, folks. All that matters is you make it up and you make it convincing and. In your efforts to gaslight, thank you, movie dude who sent me this? It doesn't matter if it's real or not, you just made it up. What matters is you polarize it. You're either with us and you fire Gina Carano one poll or you're an anti-Semite. What the hell? So how do we take the Tommy boy?

That's your theory approach to that. Well, we go to one of Solomon Ski's other rules. Yeah, this is the same set of rules. Quote Alinsky, a tactic that drags on too long. Becomes a drag. Well, if you don't answer. And you don't apologize and people like Disney just ignore this. Well, what happens? You've unfroze the target. You're polarizing, isn't working either, is your personalization, that tactic starts to drag on.

And it becomes a real drag because it gets boring after a while. Folks, if you're not memorizing Alinsky rules and using them in this fight we're in now, you are making an enormous tactical mistake for the moral failings of the man. His rules were genius, and memorizing his rules is the equivalent of a modern day SWOT analysis, not SWAT like special weapons and tactics like police for SWAT and SWAT.

For those of you who've gone to business school, one of the few things I learned a lot in business school, it's one of the few things you can use to develop a matrix to develop strategies for your business. And it works if you do it right. The S and the W in SWOT analysis stands for strengths and weaknesses, and the essence of a SWOT analysis is how to leverage and take advantage of your strengths to take advantage of opportunities to mitigate threats.

But it's also. How to mitigate weaknesses. To forestall opportunities others may have and to cut off threats. Learning Alinsky rules fits into the SWAT matrix. One, you can use the rules because they work as a strength. But secondly, what are your weaknesses, you've been subjected to the rules, we've been picked, polarized and canceled. If you knew the rules in advance and that's a weakness, you can mitigate the threats from it because you know what's coming and you know how to make the tactic drag on and make it a drag.

Folks, I'm sorry, it's just not like me trying to put myself on some kind of faux pedestal, but there are not enough people in the conservative content creation space right now talking about this. There's a lot of complaining going on, but there's not a lot of like, well, what are they doing? How is it their strength? How is it a weakness for us? How do we make it our strength? And how do we mitigate the weakness by having it use against us?

That's tactics. And once we expose the weakness of their position, Gina Carano is an anti-Semite, totally, completely fabricated, made up. She is the an anti anti-Semite. That was the point of her post once we expose it. How fake and phony and we don't apologize and we make them drag it out over and over and over, it will do what it will expose the weakness of their position that they thought was destroying their ability to cancel people.

Which brings up Alinsky rule number three today, we're going to hear a lot of them, but we'll cover just three today. Don't ever forget this one. Power is not only what you have. But what the enemy thinks you have. It's a strength for our ideological opponents, us thinking they can cancel us at any minute. Even though their power is a bunch of kids in their basement on social media tweeting to Disney. But what happens when that's exposed?

And when a company with guts, unlike Disney, doesn't cancel a Gina Carano, and they realize not only does it not affect their bottom line at all, but they'll probably get new viewers on Disney. Plus, if they hadn't done what they did because people would be like, wow, that was pretty cool.

They stood up to the mob for once. It will dismantle the house of cards these leftists have been living on the entire time, which is their faux power, their power is not real. It's fake. Because they. Live by the Alinsky rule that power is not what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have. And too many people for too long think this is actual organized, left this power, it's a joke. All right, let me get to my third sponsor and I want to get to a very important story and I got the video, our hero of the day, I'm leaning heavily towards the not singing Metallica because I can't take anymore.

Joe, Joe is actually professional singer, not be the most unprofessional of singers ever. All right. Today's show, this is producer Joe's absolute favorite spots are our friends at Rock Auto Y, because Joe is in addition to be a, you know, musician, a very talented audio producer. He's also an at home mechanic and he does his own work on his cars. So one reason to repair maintain your cars is to save money you can then use for other important things, you know, the mortgage, the food, that kind of stuff.

Why would you choose to spend 30, 50, even 100 percent more for the exact same auto parts store at a chain store, a new car dealership? I don't know. You can get a whole bunch of parts. For example, at Delphi fuel pump assembly for twenty five twenty ten hundred sixty three hundred fifty three dollars. But it's only two hundred and sixteen seventy nine. Iraq auto dotcom rock auto dotcom is a family business serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.

Go to rock auto dot com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers, they have everything and you control modules, brake parts, tail lamps, motor oil, even new carpet, whether it's for your classic, your daily driver like Joe, get everything you need in a few easy clicks delivered directly to your door.

Time to go to rack auto dotcom right now and see all the parts available for your car and truck. Right. Bongino my last name in that. How did you hear about us? Boxleitner We sent you over them an amazing selection, reliably low prices, all the parts your car will ever need.

Rock, auto, dotcom, rock, auto, dotcom. Check it out. All right. Let's this is an important story, all right. We're looking into a real fiscal financial abyss right now, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a joke and we are getting into the danger zone for the left this out there, Dan, now that Biden's in office, you're talking about the debt and deficit feo time out.

Well, not that too many props today. Red flag going under the hood for review, no way this laundry on the field, folks, did I not? Joe, you're here, Paula. You've been here. You know the deal. What is the one criticism I had of the Trump administration? The debt and deficits were exploding. The government spending money have. So please, I don't know what other conservatives did. Some a lot of them called it out to.

Not me. I have been consistent on this from day one, so I'm not going to accept that at all. We are in real trouble, like serious trouble. Washington Examiner. Federal deficit hit two point three trillion in twenty twenty one, the second largest shortfall since World War Two. Folks, this is kind of a big deal. Why? I don't know how to explain this in any simpler terms from everyone out there across the political spectrum who is seemingly unconcerned about this debt and thinks this modern modern monetary theory stuff is real.

Modern modern Turkey, also known as MMT for obvious reasons. MMT says, don't worry, we'll just print our way out of it. That's the gist of it. No problem at all, really. So you're telling me that the government paying both people and vendors to provide government services with money we don't have? That's what a deficit means for the liberals listening that we spent over two trillion dollars that did not come into the government. So we spent it, but we didn't have it.

So what did we do? We just made the money up. You're telling me there's no downside to that whatsoever? Oh, sane people like Joseph Sternberg at the Wall Street Journal beg to differ. He's like, what this inflation debate misses inflation, focusing only on consumer prices allows economists to miss all the other social danger signs of bad prices, folks. This is a brilliant piece. I'm going to get the three screen shots. But it's important because what is going on here?

There are some economists out there who prefer the printing of money endlessly who are saying, oh, don't worry. You know, in the past we could print money and it obviously led to inflation. Why? Inflation is a very simple phenomenon, folks. You print a lot of money and you don't make more goods for the money to buy. Then more money is chasing the same goods. So if there's one bell right here, it's the Kenny Bell.

Kenny Bell. There it is.

If we're not making more Kenny Bell's because the economy's struggling and no one's working to make Kenny Bell's, but we're printing more money to buy Kenny Bell's than the one Kenny Bell out there can get more money. He can fetch more money at a higher price because there's more money and not enough. Kenny Bell. It's not hard to understand. Liberals have a tough time with this stuff. So Joseph Sternbergh at The Wall Street Journal's like, hey, we're in real trouble here, folks, because we've seen inflation literally take down countries in the past.

We're going down the same road and nobody seems concerned about it all. So we just print more money to pay for stuff we don't have. Choose me to pay for items we don't have the tax base to support. He says, quote, Pay attention this this is not a joke, something extraordinary is breaking out at the moment, a debate about inflation. The trigger is this one point nine trillion dollar stimulus bill. Biden in the Capitol Hill, Democrats intend to ram through on a party vote.

The some, ladies and gentlemen, is so outlandish. That it's making even veteran spendthrifts nervous. This is a quote from Larry Summers, Larry Summers, who was Clinton's treasury secretary. I did some work for him in the Secret Service. This guy is no conservative. He is this left these days as it gets. He wasn't always, but he is now. This is even a leftist saying this. He says, quote, There's a chance that macroeconomic stimulus on a scale closer to World War two levels than normal recession levels will set off inflationary pressures of a kind we have not seen in a generation.

This is a leftist saying, hey, dudes. And ladies, this is probably not a good idea to print two trillion dollars to pay for stuff we don't have the money for through the government. That doesn't sound good because the two trillion dollars is going to find its way into an economy and there's not enough gavels and cannibals out there to scoop up Kenny bell rings for everybody and scoop up. And we need like a Kenny Bell buffer to absorb all this money.

Ladies and gentlemen, history is flashing red sky sirens right now. The sirens are going and nobody is paying attention here, second screenshot from the Sternbergh piece. Insight emerges from a browse through Ferguson's nineteen seventy five history of Germany's hyperinflation when money dies. That was the name of. The run up in consumer prices was only part of the way the monetary excesses of the early 1920s destroyed German society. Other evils abounded. In other words, what he's saying in this next paragraph is looking only at prices, consumer prices, how much the Kenny Bell cost without focusing on where inflation and money printing destroyed society elsewhere is dumb.

He goes on, This is what happened when it took down the Winmar Republic. Middle class investors found the value of an income from their capital wrecked by a phenomenal bid up in prices for financial assets whose nominal gains masked inflation adjusted plunges. I'll translate the minute financial disorder stoke growing unease bordering on panic on the part of a bourgeoisie that had relied on its capital investments to fuel German economic growth and fund its consumption. What are they saying there? This guy saying, we've tried this in history, the mass printing of money and what happened in Germany that led to its collapse and at really a 30, 40 year stretch of disaster.

He talks about there was such a panic to get yield and returns on your money as your money got inflated away, that people started chasing other assets, that their nominal gains in those assets couldn't even keep up with the inflation. Simple example. You keep your money in a bank account, inflation eats away its value as prices go up and up and up, it takes you more money to buy the same stuff. So if you keep your money in a bank account that doesn't grow as fast as inflation, you can't buy stuff anymore.

So what were people doing chasing crazier and crazier projects, speculative projects, hoping to get the return on the next whatever Facebook or something? And even the nominal returns, hey, I gained 10 percent today on my investment in Facebook or whatever the new Facebook, whatever it may be, grade inflation was 20 percent. You actually lost money. He goes on. A consequence of these chaotic financial markets was a new boom in speculation, the economic miseries of the era were not uniformly distributed.

Folks kind of sounds like something happening now. And the divergence between new classes of haves and have nots stoked political and personal resentments alongside rampant corruption. Any of this sound familiar? The rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. We got a people, GameStop folks fighting against hedge funds, hedge fund managers. Sounds really weird, right? In other ways, too faint, but eerie echoes of the Winmar era are starting to sound. A curious phenomenon of that time is the emergence of not geld or emergency money.

Forgive me if I'm not saying that right printed by local governments or larger corporations to facilitate commerce amid the collapse of the national money. Is Bitcoin the not guilty of our day? Elon Musk might think so, given Tesla's recent one point five billion dollar bet, an alternative currency, and his tweet contending Bitcoin is almost as bad as fiat money. Ladies and gentlemen. Absent the opportunity of any reliable and reliable vest investment opportunity, because your money's withering away and you're afraid to invest in anything that doesn't give you double digit returns to make you more money than the money you're losing because of inflation, you will have rampant, chaotic speculation, financial chaos and the chasing of yield, an increasingly bizarre project that will eventually lead to the collapse of everything.

Wall Street Journal piece today, the pandemic spending hangover, federal debts reached one hundred percent of GDP even before Biden plans become law. Look at this screenshot in case you think the printing of money has some kind of an asymptote. And we've reached the top. It doesn't. It's getting worse. Look at this screenshot. We have spent more on the up than the we're spending more right now in the last few years than the entire accumulated debt from the entire time of the Obama era.

The Obama era, the biggest spender ever in human history before the Trump era, when we had a lot of debt and deficits, do the entire deficit during the Obama first term was only five point one trillion. We're already getting to that in the next couple of years. Holy Moses, are we in trouble? All right, I got to get to my video, but I got to buy our final sponsor the day. Don't get don't miss this video, maybe I'll get to one more story, but.

You notice how I talk my way through the show on the air? Yeah, well, we do have a Hero of the Day segment because I don't want to leave you again in a bad mood. All right, Dan, what's the fix for inflation to stop now today? Put a lid at a minimum on government spending and now, Dan, we're still in, you know, two trillion in deficit annual deficits. Now, folks, it's a start.

It'll start reestablishing faith in our currency right now, the solution is simple, but nobody has the guts to do it. All right, today's show brought to you by the hearing aid, it's an FDA approved digital hearing aid that costs a fraction of what a typical hearing aids costs. This is a new favorite. My dad has had some issues with his hearing for a long time. He worked in a lot of loud environments. The average price of a hearing aid in America is over twenty four hundred dollars a pair, but their volt plus model is just to ninety nine ninety nine each when you buy a pair.

That's nearly 90 percent less. And the hearing aid was founded by an EMT surgeon who saw how many of his patients needed hearing aids but couldn't afford them. They are expensive. He made it his mission. He made his mission to develop a quality hearing aid that anyone could afford. Their sleek design fits really well. No one will ever know you're wearing it, but it's rechargeable with a battery life that lasts up to 30 hours. If you forget to take your hearing aids off in the shower, don't worry.

The Volt plus is waterproof and up to three feet of water. You don't even need a prescription or a doctor's appointment. You buy it directly from them with audiologists and license hearing specialists available seven days a week. So how do they make the hearing aids so affordable? Since about 95 percent of people who need a hearing aid only require a few settings. And the hearing aids simplified the need for certain components not needed by most people. And the hearing aid has brought affordable hearing to over six hundred thousand satisfied customers.

They have an A plus better business bureau rating and they offer a 45 day risk free trial with a 100 percent money back guarantee. So you can buy with confidence. It's time to reclaim your life from hearing loss. Go to M.D., hearing a dotcom and use the promo code. Bongino to get there, buy one, get one to ninety nine ninety nine each offer.

Plus, they're adding a free extra charge in case a 60 dollar value just for listeners of my show that they buy Ginocchio. So had the M. D hearing a dotcom use our promo code Mangino today, or you can even call them at one 800 seven three four nine five to four. That's one 800 seven three four nine five to four. Check them out. You won't regret it. Empty hearing a dotcom is promo code Bunji. All right. Getting back to this show.

We do the video. Paula, can we sit back there and get to the Daily Mail story, please? I got a couple of videos of this liberal, you know, crazy person calling for a truth commission, but I'm going to have to get to that tomorrow. You know what involves potato head to over at CNN? So I don't want to get I don't want to go red line today. I need to, like, get back down to earth, workout after the show and kind of like center, you know.

Story up in the show notes today, please subscribe to my show Notes Bunshiro, that newsletter lets us communicate with you directly, showing you again what I've been warning you about for, I don't know, five to seven years now. As long as I've been doing the show that liberalism is an all consuming forest fire in a metastasizing cancer on the collective caboose of the entire globe, not just the United States and the only way to show liberals the devastating effects, sadly, of their own religion, because that's what liberalism is.

It is is to actually impose real material losses on them from their allegiance to this outrageous anti-American system of government known as liberalism. What do I mean, it's sad, folks, but some people, you just you can bring them to the water, but you can't make them drink it. They will die of thirst. Liberals are like that. Remember the whole defund the police movement, sure, Joe, we not warned about that, did we not warn about the stupid?

Did we not say this sounds really dumb? This sounds really stupid. So you have big cities known for high crime? Sadly, many of them. And your solution is to defund and get rid of the police officers keeping a lid on the high crime. Hey, who told you that was a good idea to dopey liberals? Because that's what they do best. Say dopey things. Well. Sadly, and I believe me, I mean, sadly, it's not.

People get hurt here, this is not a joke, but we have warned you you would get hurt. We warned you, did we not? If you defund your police, you will see an explosion in crime and in the areas you live in, you will get hurt. We warned you, please don't do it in any way. Daily Mail with the longest headlines in human history, what happened in Minneapolis? We warned you there's no time for shouting fraud, by the way.

None the time to be deadly serious. Daily Mail headline, so much for defund the police minneapolis' to spend six point four million dollars recruiting more officers following a sharp rise in crime and up to two hundred cops quitting after the George Floyd rise and eight million dollars in budget cuts. I I can't I can't take it, I can't take it, I cannot believe that. You needed to be warned about the of police, number one, because it was so stupid.

But secondly, after repeatedly, repeatedly urging you to do a U-turn, people had to die, had their cars stolen, people had to be raped and assaulted, have their homes burglarized, their businesses burglarized, that all had to happen before you started to say to yourself, liberals in Minneapolis, maybe those crazy conservatives aren't so crazy and may be taking away our police officers was not a good idea. Getting goosebumps here because one of the saddest things I've ever seen.

I'm not kidding, I am. This is not a joke. I warned every one of you with it over a decade of my life spent in law enforcement, the federal and local level, that this was going to result in real people suffering real material losses. Some of them their lives, and you did it anyway. And now you find yourself back at square one trying to rehire police officers who quit. Just a shame. And you'll go move out of Minneapolis and bring your stupid ideas elsewhere, just please stay out of Florida, please.

I'm begging you, please stay out of Florida. We got a good thing going down here in Florida, please stay where you are. All right, let me leave you with some good news, because it's been kind of a Debbie Downer show today. Sorry about that. But I've got to warn you, I ran into a lady, by the way, at the fair this week, and she says that I had to take a few weeks off from your show after the election.

I said, no, you got to get back in the fight. I'm sorry, everybody. We need to dust off.

This one doesn't straighten out that. It's hard to do. So here's some good news, here's a guy in Australia. This is maybe the greatest clip I've ever seen. Here's this guy. I don't know who this guy is, but he's outdoors. Outdoors, folks, for those of you listening on audio and he's got a pretty thick Australian accent. This was on their seven news channel there. And some guy on a with a microphone on like a 30 foot long stick, because I guess he's kind of triple social disintegration or whatever gets said.

Don't you realize there's a lockdown happening right now? That's probably a British accent more than Australia one. But what I don't really do those two up and the guys, like, had enough of this. So if you're not watching this, the the video, I have to tell you, is a lot better. But you'll hear a little thump at the end. I'll explain what happens on the other side of this. Check this guy out. Here's our Hero of the Day.

Did you realize there's a loft in some of these? Go through. So for those of you listen, our audio dopy reporter, he says he very, very thick Australian accent right to his I can't wait for these. And he says some kind of I don't know. He's talking about, like, the hot dogs or sausage. I don't know what he's cooking on his barbecue, but the guy this is a good idea to stick the microphone guy. Just watch the microphone right away like he's not there.

That gentleman microphone swotting guy is Joe said, everybody use your microphone. Joe is accurate. I use mine. Use your my dad is our hero of the day. Whoever that guy is, he's had enough of this B.S.. Well done. Put a smile on your face. All right, folks, thanks again for tuning in. Been a loaded show today.
