Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. We're walking into a really dangerous place right now, really dangerous forest media exaggerate for effect to be melodramatic, but we really, really are. There are two parallel universes right now. There's the conservatives that actually know what's going on, vote on it, live their lives according to a set of facts, we understand. And then there's liberals who live in this dark forest of stupidity who don't know anything because the media blocks them out.

They believe the media is for real. The media rigged this election. There is now it's no longer in dispute. The only question is, did they rig it to the point where the results were dispositive in advance? That's the only question. Did they rig it so much that there was no way for Donald Trump to prevail? That's the only question. What did they regard? To what degree did they regard? That is the only question. I've got and I'm not kidding.

Stunning headlines. They ought to use Joe Biden language, some guy. Remember that Joe Biden. It's not a joke. Not a joke. Not a joke. Stunning headlines showing you the dark forest of stupidity. Tens of millions of Americans live in right now precisely because of our media. I got that. I've got an election update that's important. And I've also got a Milton Friedman video. Milt Friedman, you got a while on a Friday, you got to watch it, Joe scene.

Joe knows what I'm talking about. It's a great one. It's a great way to end that. Our Friday loaded show, The Today Show about you express VPN.

Joe, how are you today? Fine, sir.

It's from. I put my shame on me, shame, shame, heresy, shame, like that scene from Game of Thrones where they shaved the queen's head or whatever shade. How did I not know that? I have to tease that. Let me do it ex post facto, OK. And Joe Sawhorse, 1960s game show voice, of course, bringing us back to the halcyon days of radio. That's how he always brings in our friends. All right, folks, I've got a lot of material to get to, including the parallel knowledge universe of stupid liberals live in Today show, but of our friends at LifeLock folks.

Listen, I had my identity stolen, had my identity. So it was terrible. Took me a year to clean up the mess.

All right, Joe, let's go. Now, I'm going to try to keep it together and not get too emotional right here, because, you know, sometimes that happens, you know, I can run a little hot sometimes not a mystery to anyone who watches the show. But it's increasingly frustrating. This topic I keep talking about, about this parallel universes us and the liberals live in. I don't like liberal ideology. It's the it's a cancer. It is a wart on the collective butt of America to use family friendly language.

It is a forest fire that is destroying the country. And people who subscribe to that ideology are generally not that bright because they can't do any research. But the reason a lot of not all but the reason a lot of liberals, especially some younger folks who haven't figured out their way to experience in society are liberals, is because they're told by a monopolistic near monopolistic media, to be more precise. A near monopolistic media, ABC, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN and near monopolistic media, New York Times, Washington Post, they're told things that are simply not true all the time and they believe them.

I want to go through in this segment this is really important because I don't want this to be, again, one of those. The media thinks that's not a mystery. There's no reason to tune into my show to hear. The media thinks you already know that.

I want to talk about in this here, I want to talk about in this segment, I thought about this I'm serious, Mike. I put a lot of tension into the show. I thought now it's time to tell people and mourn them and hopefully instruct their kids and others about the real impacts. Tangible, touchable material, harmful impacts to your life of a parallel universe, the liberals universe of knowledge, stupidity and our universe of wisdom. I'm going to go through it one by one and show you real examples.

Don't miss it. Let's start off first with what I mean. How the media, which is a repository for ideas, is where people generally get their ideas about what's going on from the media. You live where I live in Martin County, Florida, you don't have time to research a story about what's happening in Texas. So what do you do? You go to a search engine, you put in Texas lawsuit and you read stories from the media.

If you want to learn about the Hunter Biden fiasco, if you want to learn about the Spygate scandal on Donald Trump, two facts. Hunter Biden's in a world of trouble. He's under federal investigation. The vice former vice president's son. The spying operation on Donald Trump was very real. You go to the media now, some of you choose that media operation to be me. And you know all the details of Spygate Hunter Biden because we talked about it before the election extensively.

You are literally smarter, wisdom wise, than your liberal friends who are dumb. They're walking around a forest of stupidity. Here's why. Here is a clip by the esteemed Leslie Stahl. And by esteemed I mean not esteemed Leslie Stahl of 60 Minutes, mocking the president of the United States, Donald Trump, for bringing up two facts that Joe Biden was in the midst of a major scandal before the election about his son's dealings with China now under FBI investigation and the fact that his campaign was spied on.

We know the names of the spies. You can look them up in a search engine. Here's Lesley Stahl just dismissing it and listen to the part in the most pompous Lesley Stahl type way. Here is Lesley Stahl on 60 Minutes saying, Sir, sir, sir, this is 60 Minutes. Oh, yes, Leslie. We know. We know. Check this out.

I wish you would interview Joe Biden like you interview me. It would be so good. You know what?

You think this. I thought. I thought you don't.

But when I watch him walk out of his store and he's walking with an ice cream and the question the media asks him, what kind of ice cream, what flavor ice cream do you have? And he's in the midst of a scandal. He's not. And he's taking his horses.

Come, of course, is it's the biggest second biggest scandal. So the biggest scandal was when they spied on my campaign, they spied on my campaign.

There's no real evidence of that because there is no over the place. Leslie, they spied on my campaign and they can. Can I say something? You know, this is 60 Minutes and we can't put on things we can't pin it on because it's bad for Biden.

We can't do things we can't. Leslie, they spied on my camp. When we can't vote. It's been totally verified. Now it's been just go down and get the papers. They spied on my campaign. They got caught. No. And then they went much further than that and they got caught. And you will see that, Leslie, and you know that. But you just don't want to believe.

As a matter of fact, I don't know that. Can you imagine being this woman man walking aimlessly in this forest of stupidity? There are three things that stand out to me in her absolutely absurd, laughable Romper Room like segments. She's got a kindergarten level of intelligence or a graduate school level of maliciousness, one or the other. Not both. I'm erring towards the latter. She says three things. Donald Trump makes a categorically true statement that Joe Biden is involved in a scandal, which is with his son, which we knew about before the election, a business partner of the Biden family with unimpeachable credibility, Tony Alinsky came out and said he was personally involved in a suspicious deal with the Chinese government, the Biden family that involved a kickback to Joe Biden.

This was not a mystery. If you are a conservative, you knew about this story. I'm going to get to the real impacts of this in a minute. This really affected the election. I'm going to prove it to you. So No. One, she dismisses Donald Trump for stating a fact, and this is 60 Minutes. We know what that means to that doesn't mean, Leslie, what you think it means to quote the Princess Bride? Not at all.

Secondly, he says, My campaign was spied on. She says you have no real evidence of that. We have their names of the spies. We literally have their names as rhetoric. And Stefan Halper, does she not know that? Of course she knows that she's got a Ph.D. in malicious media behavior. This is why liberals wander around in a forest of stupidity. But then she says the third thing, which is in the universe of stunningly stupid, this actually this is not the bronze medal go going in reverse order.

This is the gold. She says we can't verify that about the Hunter Biden scandal, about the business deal with China. I'm trying to think of an analogy for the Media Matters, double digit IQ morons and the liberals who watch my show to make this make sense to you. You understand as a journalist, sir, this is 60 Minutes, that's your only job. Let's use an analogy. You ever see that movie it recently came out about the Gary Hart scandal, Hugh Jackman was in it.

It was it wasn't bad, Gary Hart was a Democrat running for president, got caught in this extramarital thing. It was you know, it was a big scandal back in, was it? Nineteen eighty four whenever it was the election? I think it was eighty four. Huge scandal. But the movie's fascinating because the guy who breaks the story is, I believe, a reporter in Miami and southern Florida who gets a tip from a woman who knows the woman Hart's having this relationship with.

And at first, he hangs up the phone because the woman's like, hey, Gary Hart's going to meet this woman and he's not supposed to, you know, extramarital thing. And then she calls back and a reporter does Wojo, he does this crazy thing called journalism, where he goes out and starts to I know, I know he better make sure I have these nitric oxide tablets here, buddy. Paula, can you pass this to the electric?

You go throwing that out. The Paul is going to pass it through the electronic media matrix style. We're going to read Pirjo. I know it's stunning, but the reporter then goes out and gets flight records, finds out that the woman is actually flying to DC to meet with Gary Hart and does this crazy thing and verifies the story.

That's what you do. So you're telling me Lieutenant Bob Wolinsky, a literal, not figurative business partner of the Biden family on a shady deal with China, produces emails of evidence of the deal and an email that shows a kickback to Joe Biden from people associated with the Chinese Communist Party. And you can't verify that. Here's a crazy idea to verify, Joe, get ready for I only have one pilla. So if you don't make it through this one, I can't save you down nine one one time.

I wanted to keep it, baby, baby, keep it on speaker or whatever. Here's a crazy idea. Just ask Baba Lidsky about the deal. How hard is this. This is sir, sir. This is 60 Minutes. Again, Leslie, that does not mean what you think it means you are a laughing stock. Do you understand that, that upwards of 40 to 50 percent of America, me included, are laughing at you? It's tragic what happened because you talk to the other 50 percent of America that are wandering around in the stupid forests, not the Enchanted Forest, where it's Trump's campaign wasn't spied on despite the fact we have the actual names of the spies.

And the Hunter Biden thing never happened, despite the fact that we know it happened because his business partner said it happened. Right. And in the third thing is we're journalists here at 60 Minutes and we can't verify that. Wow. Wow. Is that the trifecta of stupidity? Let me show you something else here. Let me show you some headlines from Bull Ekko, otherwise known as Politico ATIP Logan Hall on Twitter. He did a great job with this.

Here are before and after headlines from Politico about the Hunter Biden story about the shady business deals the business partner outed them on. Here's the headline before the election from Politico, The Washington Post and CNN first Politico Hunter Biden story is Russian disinformation. Dozens of former intelligence officials say after the election now that the FBI investigation has been outed against Hunter Biden in public. Hunter Biden says US attorney is investigating his tax affairs. It's that Russian I don't know what you just said.

That was Russian disinformation. Here's The Washington Post, the truth behind the Hunter Biden Norn scandal. Washington Post before election. Washington Post Post election now that we know about the scandal. Or they know about the scandal or pretend to know about the scandal. Hunter Biden tax probe examining Chinese business dealings. I thought that was an odd scandal. I I thought that was a nonskid. Here's CNN business, the anatomy of The New York Post, dubious Hunter Biden story.

Here's CNN politics after the election. Federal criminal investigations in one Hunter Biden focus on his business dealings in China. Here's one more NPR, which we put up yesterday. Analysis, questionable New York Post scoop driven by ex Hannity producer and Giuliani. Talk about the Hunter Biden scoop NPR. Now, Hunter Biden says he's under federal investigation for tax matter. Ladies and gentlemen, again, I am going to dig into the real world impact affecting your lives of having 50 percent of America wandering around, wandering around these stupid enchanted forest of liberalism.

Let me go to one more headline, this right before the show, right before the show creeped up, I had to tell Miss Paula, please get this NFL, please squeeze this in. Here's this headline from NBC is hilarious in its stupidity. It's a headline in a sub headline that will leave you scratching your head how people so stupid could have put this in a headline. Here's NBC. Hunter Biden, president elect's son, says federal prosecutors probing his taxes.

Here's the sub headline. The probe was revealed weeks after an election in which President Donald Trump and his allies made unfounded and basically baseless claims of corruption regarding Hunter, Biden and his father. The headline says he's under investigation. How are they baseless claims? Why is there an editor at ABC who wrote this thing, who wrote this thing that Justin Bateman character from Family Ties, what was her name?

Not the blonde, but I don't remember. Was it members? It malerie. I don't even remember. It was family who wrote this. Who wrote this? The kids sit in the corner of the school room in 1960 with with the dunce cap on. How would the same headline do you acknowledge there's a federal investigation into corruption and tax issues with the guy and then say the claims are baseless? This is real. This is the chanted stupid forest the liberals live in.

Before I get to the real world impacts of how this is going to hurt us, I want to play this quick minute video of Greg Gutfeld on the five yesterday who was in fuego, totally on fire and. No one said it better than Greg about, again, these parallel universes where we know what's going on and liberals wander around where ignorance is not bliss and ignorance is damaging to you. Check this clip out.

Guess what gets me a little angry I don't really get angry is the arrogance of, quote, hard news. So they see this story right. And they go, well, it's unsubstantiated. We need more substantiation. Well, that's your job, bozo. You're the frickin substantiate her. It's like, wow, you can report on Joe's new cabinet picks, but anybody can read a press release. I can do that. Why don't you? Hard news, folks.

Hit the pavement. That's your job. The very same Sunday journalists who said, you know, I don't think there's much of this story. They fell all over themselves with less substantiated dreck pertaining Trump and his family. You can look it up if you want. I won't name names because I might see them in the elevator. Lastly, we now have evidence to deliver to deliberate cover ups to throw an election. First, we had the media cover for Pelosi as she delayed covid relief, knowing that Americans would suffer because that would help Joe win.

Now you have the media covering for Hunter Biden by dismissing this as Russian intel, using that letter, knowing that would also help Little Joe. So there's no question this election was manipulated by the press.

How do we stop that if the meat thermometer here. So into Greg. One hundred and fifty two Fahrenheit on the ground, the meat thermometer. There it is on the meter. Seventy three hundred and seventy three. There's a one there. You just don't see. It's the best. The best line. The best light on the whole thing. I don't know if you caught it. I was like. Whoa, guy emoji, I might read it to them in the elevator.

Oh. I say we do what elevator ride, elevator, the elevator in his condo or whatever in his apartment. I don't know what else to talk about. Nice job, Greg, let's talk about the elevator fox. Tyson, Roy Jones now. Sorry. That is one of the best clips I have seen in a long time. Thank you, Greg, for speaking truth to power. There are a lot of good people left, folks, don't forget that I've been trying to tell you that.

Not everybody deserves to be painted with a broad brush, especially at the network. A lot of people are fighting back. OK, now when we get to the real. The real world impact of this, before I get that, let me get to my second sponsor folks. They love to be here, love talk to you.

Well, we know stuff and liberals don't. And even worse, I'm going to get you now, not only the liberals not know stuff because the people like Leslie Stahl, sir, this is 60 Minutes. But what they know. Is wrong. So just to be clear, it's where in the liberal where what was that movie, old school where Will Farrell where we're in the trust tree. We're in the trust that he's in the therapy with us.

Right. Well, I thought we were in that trust, but he's imagining, like, women's underwear thing. I thought we were in the we're so right now we're not Will Farrell in the street, but we're in the enchanted forest of stupidity that liberals live in. Right. And it's not just that they don't know anything like they think the Trump campaign wasn't spied on was his fault, which is false. They were they don't know about the Hunter Biden thing, which I'll show you in a poll.

But what they know is wrong because woak idiots keep telling them that the definitions of things are what things mean or what they know. It's not what they know and they mean new things. Now, what do I mean? There's a great article and legal insurrection be in the show, notes Bongino. Dotcom newsletter is how you access our show notes. The newsletter is the same thing you need to read this article about. We're now diverging not only into a conservative knowledge universe and the liberal stupid universe, but two different languages as well.

I'm not kidding. This legal insurrection peace talks about dictionary dotcom changing the definition of court packing to the Democrats media version, just changing it. Dictionary Dotcom, who, like Leslie Stahl, who had one job to verify facts, yet claims in her interview, the media doesn't verify facts. Dictionary Dotcom has one job. Literally, not figuratively, one job look up, literally, a dictionary dot com doesn't change it. It's to tell people what words mean.

Dictionary dot com. Dictionary, Tucker, you have one job. So what's fascinating about dictionary dotcom is when hack Democrats decide they want to change the meaning of words to things, they don't mean dictionary dot com, which is supposed to tell you what they mean, tells you they mean something that they don't mean. Which just further reinforces my view that when you're in the liberal stupid Enchanted Forest, not only do you not know anything which makes you stupid, but what you do know is wrong.

Here's an example in Dictionary Dotcom of liberals walking around the enchanted forest of stupidity who are under the impression, ridiculous idea that the term sexual preference is in fact offensive. Anyone remember the history behind this one? This is Steve Krakauer on on on on Twitter. Mazie Hirono and Amy Koney, Barratt's and Mazie Hirono, otherwise known as Crazy Mazey, the liberal Democrat radical senator from Hawaii, challenged Amy CONI Barrett, Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court, has now been confirmed because she used the term sexual preference.

So at Macy's, your run is like that term is now offensive. Look what happened in dictionary dot com to change the definition there you see the screenshot right there. If you want to watch on Rumbo, you could see it the definition before Mazie Hirono said nothing about it being offensive after Mazie Hirono dictionary dot com change and look at the bottom offensive offensive see paragraph below. They only changed it because Mazie Hirono, crazy baozi from Hawaii, randomly out of nowhere, claim the term sexual preference is offensive in dictionary dot com.

It's also the people wander around the stupid forest. Now if you dare mention sexual preference to the stupefaction you homophobic trans phobic.

By phobic, your phobia phobic, it's the phobic phobia fear that people are like, why, why? I checked dictionary dot com yesterday. He said it was OK. I thought I was OK. You're not OK. They changed it today. You don't know that. You're not on their email list. Come on, guy. You may say it's an interesting example because it gets worse and then they outright not only reclassify words is offensive because Democrats give them their marching orders, dictionary dotcom.

Hilariously named dictionary dot com. As you call it, Wolinsky activism dotcom here, they just outright change the word. Court packing, here's more evidence screenshot here. Court packing here was the distance from the Wayback Machine. Here is the actual definition of court packing dictionary dotcom before the Democrats to court, packing an unsuccessful attempt by FDR in nineteen thirty seven to appoint up to six additional justices, the Supreme Court, which had invalidated a number of his New Deal laws.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's be crystal clear. This is not for liberals. Your facts aren't your thing. This is for the same people. That is always what court packing meant, adding adding justices to the Supreme Court. That is always what it meant. It is never meant anything else. Well, liberals who wanted to support court packing and still do, if Joe Biden wins, the the term has a negative connotation because FDR was shut down from adding justices to the Supreme Court or court.

Packing by who? By Democrats who said this is a bridge too far. This is radical. Democrats want a court packed now tracked me so they know the term has a negative connotation. So what do they do? Go to your friends, the dictionary, dotcom, who just changed the definition. Court packing doesn't mean that now, Joe. Now it means the practice of changing the number or composition of judges on a court or or notice how they do that in they're changing the number or composition, making it more favorable to particular goals or ideologies and typically involving an increase in the number of seats on the court.

Notice how they threw that in their. Not just that you would add justices, but keep the justices, but just change the composition, you mean like confirming Amy? Amy CONI Barritt. That now means court packing. Why? Because in the enchanted forest of stupidity, liberals live in dictionary. Dot com tells them that court packing now no longer means adding justices. It just means replacing a justice now with a conservative one. They just made it up.

They just made it up. It is the weaponization of language how because if you don't keep up with this, you're then on a news interview, on a cable news channel, whatever, some liberal you mentioned court packing, how dangerous it is. And they go the Republicans are court packing right now. They nominate any. And you're like, wait, why there's no court packing means the justices, the Supreme Court. There's nine any Connie Barrett, is it the 10th?

She's replacing Ruth Bader Ginsburg and then the liberal comes back in dictionary dot com. This is court packing. And you're like, what is going on here? That's not what this is ever meant. What are you talking about? Marie Harf, you're just making that up. He's Marie because she makes stuff up a lot. She's good at that. It's the weaponization of language. Why is this dangerous? Folks, if I can get very serious for a moment on this.

I did a lot of homework on given my prior line of work. I always found that interesting, studying the roots of terror, ie, terrorism. I did. It's a long story, but given my prior line of work, I always want to find out why it wasn't good enough as a terrorist, because there's always a thousand explanations for why people become terrorists.

But there had to be some research, right? So I started looking it up. I did a lot of homework on this. And one of the liberal explanations, you know, there's always a liberal explanation. Remember, they live in a forest of stupid is it's poverty, poverty, capitalism. Capitalism creates poverty, rich people stealing poor people's money and creation. That's not exactly true. That just really making that up. But there's no scientific data on that at all.

But in liberals, there's no scientific data. That's why they're liberal. But there is one factor highly associated with the presence of terrorism, and I encourage you to fact check me all the time, folks, don't take my word for anything. I'm I am deadly serious. Fact checking matters even for me, my my show, I'm telling you to fact check me, that's how confident I am. And what I'm telling you is, in fact, accurate.

If you look up terrorism and linguistic fractionalization. You'll find that it's highly correlated. As languages start to divert, people no longer understand each other, you see terrorism start to bud correlational causal nobody, you know, it's very hard to figure that kind of stuff cause terrorism. You know, you have to do real world experiments that already happen. So it's correlational not to get too wonky, but the data is there. I'm not suggesting that dictionary dotcom is causing terror.

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying to you that linguistic fractionalization is associated with a whole lot of bad things. Terrorism being the worst. But on the other end of the scale, you see milder things that are still dangerous, but not as deadly as terrorism, you see things like societies that generally don't understand each other. Political debates that aren't political debates because there are two separate sets of facts and two separate sets of understanding about what the words mean.

How can I argue with you about the benefit of apples for your health, if you think I'm talking about oranges, how? No, no, no, it's not an apples and oranges, sir, it's an apple, it's red and it's got a stem. It's shaped like an apple, it tastes and it tastes like an apple. It's an apple. Dictionary dot com says it's an orange. There's no debate. I can't debate you that an apples, an apple.

Or that court packing means court packing because it's always meant court packing. Not just two parallel universes. Now we have two parallel language universes to. There is a real world impact, this is part one of s.b, the real world impact of these two universes. Crime. Discord, social distance between each other, because we don't understand each other in the worst case scenario, fractionalization and terrorism in some of these countries where it gets really horrible. This is real, it's not a joke.

Let me talk about another real world impact of liberals living in the enchanted, stupid forest where they don't know anything and what they know is wrong, and us living in a forest of facts that are challengeable. This can tip elections, this may have tipped this one. Look at this New York Post story. I encourage you to read this. It's by Brian Flood at Fox News from December 10, it's up in the show notes today. Liberal media snuffed out Hunter Biden coverage until after the election to help defeat Trump, critics say.

All right, that's an interesting hypothesis. Here's a screenshot from the piece. Did liberals living in the stupid park forest actually impact this election? A real, touchable, tangible impact going to affect you? It certainly looks like it. This is a quote, folks. It's hard to assess what impact this lack of media scrutiny about the Hunter Biden story might have had in the election results, but the impact was certainly not zero. Post-election polling by the Media Research Center showed that over a third, over a third of Biden voters were unaware of the Hunter matter at all, McCall added, referring to an MRC poll that indicated a stunning, by the way, 36 percent of Biden voters were completely unaware of the scandal.

That Biden, Hunter, Biden is now being investigated by the FBI for. Thirty six percent of people who voted in this election for Biden were totally unaware that his son was involved in a major international scandal with a nuclear powered communist country that hates us. So real world impact, one language splits, we can't even talk to each other, social distance, societal discord. These are dangerous things, this is not a joke. Number two. The entire power structure of a country can change as elections are tipped because liberals don't know anything.

Thirty six percent of them. Literally did not know, not figuratively, literally, did not know about the Hunter Biden story. I've got more. I want to talk about another one. One, they got three more real world impacts of this dangerous, dangerous situation we live in right now with stupid people in the forest. Let me get to my third sponsor again. They're happy to be here. And it is a gift giving season. I cannot think of a better gift right now than Omaha Steaks.

OK, so getting back to the show, you know, again, the real world consequences aren't just dangerous societal discord, social distance and tipping elections because liberals are too dopey to look stuff up. This can dramatically affect our national security. By liberals believing things that are just not true or believing things on a scale that aren't you? What do I mean? Let me not beat around the bush. This one's going to be a little more difficult to explain, but it is touching you in a very bad way.

Let me go to this Gallup piece about the real world impacts of liberal stupidity. Lydia Saad, a Gallup majority of Americans now consider Russia a critical threat. All right. Nothing wrong with that statement. That is, in fact, true. Russia is a threat. Joe agrees, Paula. Everybody knows that no one can dismiss the second most powerful nuclear force in the world that hates our guts, the Russians. But I want you to notice something in this actual Gallup article, which is fascinating because Russia is not half the threat.

China is China is far more powerful, a far more powerful economic threat. Again, we're talking about just pure numbers and facts. A far more powerful threat militarily, a far more powerful threat financially to us. And is being arguably more aggressive in the intelligence front than the Russians are right now, but look at this poll. Americans don't see it the way they rate Russia. Number one. By a pretty wide margin, I might add. Well, why do you think they would do that, Joe, and why do you think liberals who live in these stupid forest would rate liberal?

And candidly, many of are probably regular mainstream Democrats, too? Why would they place Russia a threat nonetheless, but clearly not even close to the threat China poses to the United States? Why would they have them backwards? Well, maybe because people like 60 Minutes. Lesley Stahl, sir, this is 60 Minutes. Hilarious. Leslie didn't get the joke when she said it. Maybe because people like Leslie Stahl have told America for the last four years that Vladimir Putin colluded with Donald Trump to win the 2016 election, despite the whole case being based on a fake Putin.

Someone sent me a message day and please stop saying please take no, no, no, I'm not stopping. I'm sorry it bothers you, but that is the hilarity of this. And it must be hammered home every time that 60 Minutes, Lesley Stahl and so-called serious media people we might run into in an elevator took the people seriously, which led people to spend four years misallocating our national security infrastructure towards a Russia threat. That exists to a lesser degree than the China threat, while China may have actually impacted our 20 20 election.

It's a real consequence. Money dollars, military intelligence assets. No, no, we got to focus on Russia, why we saw the tape. There is no BP tape. And Americans bought it up. The liberal ones, at least, and the Democrats, not you. Can you throw that up again? I'm sorry, they graph there's one more thing about this I wanted to. I should have, I suppose. This is even more stunning, showing you how misinformed roughly 40 percent of Americans in this stupid forest are.

Look who else appears on the list of greatest threats to the United States. Damn right, Paula. Who's number five, the United States itself. There are actually Americans out there who rate the United States as the greatest threat to the United States over Russia and China. The stupid forest is very real. It's hurting you, it's hurting your ability to vote in free and fair elections, it's creating dangerous social discord. Creating fissures in our society that don't need to be there.

It's creating arguments over things like an apple being an apple. It's creating misallocated assets towards threats that aren't nearly the threat. That's really the threat right now. What else does? Linguistic issues where we can't even agree about the meaning of the word court packing, even though we know what it means because it's always meant what it's meant. What else? Well, let me show you again how stupid this is, we've had a pretty standard definition for basically the entire history of the United States and the English language, pretty United States.

Existed before us of what the word defund means, yes, defund is always meant to take funds away. To deal fun, the like deescalate. Destabilize to take away, stabilization, to deescalate, meaning to ramp down the escalation, to de-escalate, so to defund means to ramp down funds take away because it is always meant that. Even to Lesley Stahl, I think this is 60 Minutes. It's always meant that. But now, because the Democrats want to defund the police.

Meaning take money away from the police. And the Democrats and their media lunatic goon allies. Psychopaths found out that taking money away from the police may cost them an election before the election because people don't want their police defunded. Now all of a sudden, we're arguing about apples and oranges again, what the fund really means. No, Dan, no, we're not. Don't take my word for. Here's a headline at The Atlantic noted left wing newspaper, The Atlantic or by Andrew Ferguson.

This is a real headline, folks. Not a joke. You can look this up. Andrew Ferguson, The Atlantic. Defund the police does not mean defund the police unless it does. Why? Come on. What? No, no, no. Come on, man, do you have the Joe Biden. Come on. Why you said that to your come. Please do that up.

We need that. This is a perfect. Come on, man, again, we need to you need to let. Defund the police doesn't mean what it means unless it means what it means if you're trying to get your arms around that, don't you will potentially lose up to 30 IQ points for trying to understand the stupidity of that headline. You understand how you can't possibly debate someone about defunding the police if they question what the word defund means, despite everybody knowing what the word defund means to take away funds?

No, no, that's not what it means. It doesn't mean defund. Oh, I, uh. So what's the real world impact of being in this stupid forest and not actually understanding that defunding the police meaning's take means taking money away from your police hat tip? Carl Benjamin on parler. I found this little info graphic on parler. This is put this up. This is really great. This is the real world impact of living in the liberal stupid forest where you don't believe defunding the police means actually taking money away from the police.

He goes through a series of series of headlines, Carl, and he even puts helpful arrows here. Watch this on Rumball. It's better on video. Rumball, Dotcom, Bongino, check it out. Headline number one, NPR. Minneapolis council moves to defund police, establish holistic public safety force headline to Washington Post. Minneapolis Violence surges as police officers leave department in droves. Headline number three Minneapolis City Council alarmed by surge in crime months after voting to defund the police.

On to headline number four, Handey Arostegui, that's NPR News. With violent crime on the rise in Minneapolis, City Council asks, where are the police? The Red Arrow, number five. Some Minneapolis city council members would like a redo on defunding the police says report card.

This is the stupid for you see the stupid fuckers walking by, the stupid smoking a doobie like our picture of me with the digital glasses. And Paula said with a cigar, but really looks like a doob. What are you doing? What are you doing? Is this like Cheech and Chong time you're sitting around smoking like a doobie. This why you cause a getting a secondary high for everyone? There's a real world consequence to being stupid. People are dying.

This is not a joke. Because there's no police around to stop violent crime in Minneapolis because stupid media people told even dumber liberals that, don't worry, defunding the police doesn't actually mean defunding the police. Let's throw up this CBS headline, too, in case you think I'm making this up, by the way, how stupid these liberals are and they're stupid liberal masters. CBS News, Minneapolis To shift eight million dollars from police budget amid defunding the police movement, I.

That we have to live with these people is unbelievable. We have to live with stupid people. Imposing upon us a social distance between us and societal discord we don't need and will do nothing to further this great republic is just stunning that these people choose to walk around a stupid farce where words don't mean what they mean anymore and people get killed because of it. I got one more when I get to I could take one final break, we have another sponsor here.

But this last one is going to cause more death and destruction. Because now we're going to argue about here we go, Joe, not just what the fund means in the liberal stupid FAS abolished doesn't mean abolish either. That's going to happen next. My prediction you want our final sponsor today makes a great gift for the holidays, by the way, for the firearm owner in your life. I target. That's the letter I. This year's reminded us of many things, including how important it is to look after the ones we love and to be prepared this holiday season, give the gift of safety and practice with your firearm, give them a target.

Proud folks. You know how expensive ammunition is getting out there. You've seen the prices. Some some stores don't even have nine millimeter anymore. So how are you going to practice with your firearm practices?

Essential. Give them a target probe, you have the constitutional right to self-defense, but a moral obligation to be safe for your family and you, but most of us don't have the time to consistently train plus ammos really expensive. It's why I target was invented. Here's what it is. Explain it. Very simple. It's a proprietary lays around you. Insert it in the empty, safely unloaded firearm you have now. It emits a laser onto a target.

That simple. What's the benefit of the laser? What when you drive fire with a safely unloaded weapon, I mean, is no ammunition in it the practice your trigger control your grip, your breath, control your muscle memory? You have no idea with around with a gun. It's empty with the laser round target sends you in the target and the target they send you now you'll see with the rounds would have landed. You could see where you're off.

You have low level right. Adjust your grip. Practice all your fundamentals in the safety and security of your own home. Well, what calibres does it come in? Well, I'll answer that for you. I target programs in all major calibers, even two to three and five, five, six. Today, you can save 10 percent plus get free shipping with the offer code. Dan, a checkout when you go to I target ProComp, it's the smartest way for you to practice.

It pays for itself in just a few days. That's the letter I target pro I target pro dotcom use offer Codan. Thanks, I target. All right. My final story about the real world impact of this election's being overturned. Language changing. People thinking Russia is our biggest threat over China because the Putin and the pretape. Police being defunded and people being killed, this one's going to be next. Here's a story I saw in The Washington Examiner conveniently right as I was wrapping this segment up, putting my show together.

This creeped up on The Washington Examiner on their email list. And I get their articles. And Jira Critelli, forgive me from saying her name wrong, and I've used her stuff before. California Democrats pressure Biden in Congress to abolish ice. What so we're just going to go full open border now. Now, Mark, my words is going to wrap up on this, the same defund the police not says defund doesn't mean defund. Well, it's always meant take funds away.

Not somebody means it means something else. We're just going to make it up. We'll get dictionary dot com on the phone up once this goes bad for them, which it will. If they manage to publicise or push for it, Americans will turn on them tomorrow. Nobody, no sane person wants open borders, narco trafficking, children being trafficked, of course. But no, I say don't worry. Don't worry about it. No, I said I'll just let it happen, folks, when that turns on them, I guarantee you.

They will change the meaning of abolish to to mean something else, to cover their tracks. No, no, we didn't mean abolish. We meant Polish, that's a new word that rhymes with a Polish, but it means to not abolish small Polish eyes, which means don't abolish it, polish it. And we just misspoke. Oh, and dictionary dot com will add some polish. And you know what it will say. Meaning? Meaning not a polish.

That's what it'll say. Insurrectionary knockoff. It'll somehow Polish means not abolish. And all the media people like Leslie Stahl say they didn't say abolish sise they said Smekal aside sir, this is this is 60 Minutes sir. They said Polish. The Washington Examiner is a conspiracy theory cited fake news. I went to dictionary dot com and a Facebook fact checker can confirm that. By the way, small Polish means not a Polish idiots. You're so stupid. Morons, you're the same people that defund the police meant taking money away idiots, you're the same people.

The court packing and adding justices to the court. What a bunch of dunces. We live with these people. They're among us right now. The smallish crowd, sir, this is 60 Minutes, sir. They clearly said smallish, you don't know what shot. What are you, a conspiracy theorist saying abolish means abolish shopaholics means not abolish DOPs. That'll be next. Don't laugh. Is it any dumber than her saying there was no Biden scandal despite me giving her and everyone else out there before the election the actual FBI case number of the investigation into the scandal?

Is it any dumber than smallish? I'm not kidding. Is it any dumber than saying the Trump campaign wasn't spied on despite the fact that we have the names of the spies? Is it any dumber? It's smallish. Go to Wikipedia, put Spygate in it, calls it a conspiracy theory, smallish. I've got to get this in election update. There's a lot going on trying to fire through these next two stories. Oh, we got to Friedman.

We're doing that Friedman video no matter what, because it's so good. And I want to we'll do The Wall Street Journal block next week. I mean, this is a joke between me and Paul. Don't even bother that really. This is a right. It's like the National Review stories that I get to which is still sitting back there on the back burner. Just quick, Washington Examiner, Pennsylvania legislators are now joining the Ken Paxton Texas lawsuit against Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia.

This is in The Washington Examiner. Check it out, this is critical. Wall Street Journal that tends to go center left on a lot of these issues is now scared that the state of Texas, which is basically suing Pennsylvania for changing their election law at the last minute because it hurts Texas voters who now think they have a president elect, Biden, who won who they think won the election. So it disenfranchises Texas voters because it's a national election, because Pennsylvania couldn't follow the rules.

Wall Street Journal's terrified they have this article up today. They always they have such weak I love the Journal, but they have such weakness with this stuff. Texas tries an election longshot. They want to take a shot at Ken Paxton because they they get what he said. They're scared. They're scared. The scared. Oh, my gosh. This lawsuit about what they say, Joe, it's rare. This lawsuit. This is rare. This is so rare.

Like, we shouldn't do it because it's rare. You know what's rare? Changing election laws the week before the election, not through your legislative chamber in violation of the Constitution and then pretending to elect the press. That's pretty rare. Oh, Wall Street Journal says the court asked for the four states to reply by three p.m. Thursday, but it would it be a legal and political earthquake if the court took the case? That's the court's job. You numb nuts cases of original jurisdiction.

When a state bypasses lower courts and go directly to the Supreme Court are rare and typically involve interstate disputes. That's what this is, fellahs. Did you read it? This one concerns election law in states other than Texas. No kidding. That's the very definition of an interstate dispute. Don't take the case because it's rare, what kind of stupid story is that? Don't take the case because it involves Pennsylvania election law. Yes, that affected Texas in the Supreme Court, who's supposed to oversee interstate, not intrastate disputes.

Don't worry, intra interstates going to meet some different Marto. It'll mean shopaholics tomorrow. No, no. Interstate really now means intrastate, like the intranet and the Internet. This is the world we live in. The Wall Street Journal's very scared because it's rare. Who cares that it's rare? Yeah. What does that have to do with anything? Texas has a legitimate case. You screwed our voters over because you idiots in the Pennsylvania election board can't follow the law.

Perfectly legitimate argument. Don't take it, it's interstate because the Supreme Court's supposed to hear interstate. Why? I forget the Pelosi stuff, I when you have that Friedman video, so I thank you, folks, I want to play. It's a great video and I want to leave you on a good note. So I have this whole block I'm going to do. Eventually I will get to it instead of a whole bunch of stuff at the same time next week you get to the Swalwell stuff today.

Chameides forgot to mention something for you. I have articles in The Wall Street Journal going to cover next week, which are pretty decent and cover this whole stimulus payment. I talk about the stimulus payments because they're not stimulus payments when the government pays you. Where does the money come from, folks? It's not a joke. I'm not being sarcastic. I'm asking you to think this through even the liberals in this stupid farce to think this through logically, if the government is paying Adam or Bobby six hundred dollars, where does the government get the money from?

The government gets the money from Tony and Joe, from other citizens, the government doesn't create anything. The government just takes money from one and gives it to another. So how can that be a stimulus? Because if I'm taking money from me to give it to Paula, I have unstimulated me and I better stay away from that because it's date night this weekend and I have enhanced Paula's wallet.

We'll leave the stimulation talk for later, it's a family friendly outfit and there's no Dukat and Red today, but you get the point. But I've been unstimulated and Paulas wallet has been enhanced, which is a net of zero. Matter of fact, it's a negative net because the government, in giving my money to Paula, takes a cut for themselves to pay themselves to give money to Paula. So it's actually negative. There's no such thing as government stimulus.

I don't care who tells you that. Republican, Democrat, conservative, libertarian, communist. There's no such thing. Business can stimulate the economy by inventing an idea that wasn't around before, which makes us all better. The microwave oven, penicillin, whatever it may be, where they mass distribute it. The government doesn't do that. Even the myths about the government created the Internet. No, they didn't. Even the people involved with the DARPA Internet project acknowledged later that it was the private sector that took the idea and made it value added for all of us.

So please stop with your fairy tales. Their dopey. Milton Friedman explains this beautifully. I have discussed this for ways to spend money on my show a thousand times, but, you know, I've never seen the actual clip of Friedman explaining it. This is Friedman explaining the four ways to spend money in about a minute, something that's worth your time and how government taking your money and spending it on someone else is always going to be the absolute worst way to stimulate anything.

This is just genius, Milton Friedman.

Well, you know, you can spend your own money. On yourself. And when you spend your own money on your show, you're very careful of what you spend it on and you make sure that you get the most for your dollars, you can spend your own money on somebody else. You give gifts to other people. You take people out to dinner. And when you spend your own money on somebody else, you're very careful that you don't spend too much.

You try to keep down the amount you spend, but you don't worry very much about what the other fellow's getting from it. You don't pay anything like as much attention to the gifts you buy for other people as to the things you buy for yourself. Or you can spend somebody else's money as when you're spending the government's money. I say the government's money, the taxpayers money, which the government has control. Now you're spending somebody else's money. Let's say you're spending your boss's money.

You're out to lunch on a expense account, but you're spending it on yourself. You're very careful that you get good, good, good things for you, the money, you try to have a good lunch and pick the right things, but you're not very much worried about whether you get the cheapest or you spend all you want and you'll be careless.

Now, what happens when you spend somebody else's money on somebody else? You're a you're a distributor of welfare funds. Well, you're interested in making your own life as good as you can, and most people have humane instincts and want to do the best they can, but you're not going to be anything like as careful in spending somebody else's money on somebody else. So there are four ways in which you can spend money.

I'm not kidding. Is not melodrama. I've read extensively Friedman's work. When I read that 15 years ago, whatever it was a long time ago, the four ways to spend money, I'm not kidding when I say change my life, it changed my life. I mean, changed my life. I'm going to say literally. But I've said literally, literally too much this show. And I hate that word, but I'm doing it as a joke because of the whole the way they redefined literally, too.

But I'm telling you, it changed my life. You will never, ever look at government the same way ever again, if you understand deeply what Friedman just said there, that when government, which spends other people's money on other people does, that the two components of spending money, the cost of what you're buying and the quality of what you're buying, the two things that would matter to you if it was your own money don't matter at all. The costs don't matter, you're spending other people's money, what do you care about the cost?

It's not your money, but the kicker is the quality of what you're buying, whether it's other people's health care for them doesn't matter either because you're not even buying it for yourself. You're giving other people's money to other people to buy. You don't even care about the quality. Government will always, always be your worst option for things like stimulus. But the best option out there, and I have to do it, let me get out for the weekend, leave you on a good note and just say, folks, please check us out.
