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

[00:00:11]

Another bad call, I think, by Bill Barr yesterday. I'm really sorry. I don't mean to pile on. I'm not into this calling people out for no good reason for a fact kind of thing, but just a terrible call by the attorney general and the special counsel thing. I'm going to get to that. I also want to get through Trump. President Trump met with members of Congress yesterday who will object to the Electoral College read out on January six.

[00:00:33]

What does that mean for you? What does that mean for the process? What does that mean for the election? I'll get to that. Most importantly, I'm going to start off today with our system of government. It's just it's just entirely broken. It's entirely broken. Our system of elections, our system of spending taxpayer money, our system of spending, fabricated printed money, we just print like monopoly money. It's entirely broke. And I've got a series of really good videos.

[00:00:58]

One, a viral speech yesterday by Rand Paul that went nuclear on the floor talking about this and also making his return because they've been so popular by popular demand. A short clip by Milton Friedman explaining how this will inevitably lead to the collapse of the republic to inflation if we don't get our arms around it. All right. Let's get to it, folks.

[00:03:55]

All right Joe, let's go. I think they cited their folks.

[00:04:02]

Our system of government is broken. Our system of elections is broken. I mean, whose brilliant idea was it? Let's just send out a bunch of unsolicited mail ballots in states where we don't even have voter ID. And let's see what happens. What a great idea. Actually, it was a stupid idea that only stupid people would agree to. And fortunately for the people who like stupid people, the stupidest people amongst the stupid people crowd have been aggregating where in government the dumbest of the dumb managed to go and work as politicians and bureaucrats that run elections and governments and liberal states, that's totally broken.

[00:04:43]

I think we can all agree. But what else is broken? Folks, the republic is broken, I'm really sorry the Constitution was the greatest governing document initiative of humankind, but it has had some dreadful failures. I know you don't want to hear that, and I'm really sorry, but I have to break through that. I love the founding fathers, their vision, their bravery, doing what they did, but they never anticipated. That's such a weak, gutless, spineless, visionless people would be elected to serve in our House of Representatives and in the Senate.

[00:05:18]

Why am I so upset about this today? Because, folks, economics is dead, we are on the absolute certain path to bankruptcy as a nation and nobody seems to care. What am I talking about, the poor oculist bill was passed yesterday, stimulus bill, otherwise there's no estimate the government doesn't stimulate anything. When are we going to stop with the language? It's not stimulus. I don't care who said it. Manoogian Some of your favorite Republicans.

[00:05:48]

I don't care. The government doesn't stimulate anything. It's not possible for the government to stimulate anything because anything the government uses financially to stimulate it has to do unstimulated by taking financially from from you. We're taking our money to give us our money. So they passed this stimulus bill last night, I would urge the president to veto this disaster because it is loaded with pork and junk that has nothing to do with stimulation. Article in our show notes today, you can always access the show notes or the newsletter, it's the same thing.

[00:06:27]

Bungeni dot com slash newsletter. Please subscribe to get you the best news of the day. Take a little note here. Read State Senator Ted Cruz is right. Congress labeled the end of the year spending bill covid relief to cover all the pork. Jennifer von la Red State. Read this article, you want to see some gems that were in this stimulus bill, again, dreaded air quotes. From the red state piece, this is all supposed to be stimulus, she says, of course, once the text of the bill was available, journalists, pundits and laypeople all delve into its contents and started itemizing all the pork in the bill from both sides of the aisle, claiming it was a covid stimulus bill or a covid relief bill.

[00:07:10]

OK, so let's go through this, Joe. This this have to do with covid, the Kennedy Center, twenty six point four million.

[00:07:16]

That's a covid with this Kennedy Center really seems to make every single dime, this Kennedy Center, they have to be. Joe, would you not agree the most politically connected people in the history of humankind? Ted Kennedy, the Kennedy Center, twenty six point four million. That's in the domestic through the Smithsonian. It's based on my reading that correctly said a billion dollars mean a billion dollars for the kids. Is that right? National Art Gallery, one hundred fifty four million.

[00:07:44]

National Arts and Humanities. One hundred and sixty seven thousand. The Woodrow Wilson Center. Fourteen thousand bucks. I'm sure that's a good boy, DiCicco. Oh, here away it gets even better. That's just the domestic part. Here's another one. Foreign countries, Egypt wake. What does that one point three billion miss in the Commons. Seven hundred million for for Sudan. Ukraine got money. Israel, Nepal got money too. That's always good. You got to throw that Nepal money in there to, you know, get to a covid relief.

[00:08:14]

Nepal. Yeah, I don't know, maybe there's going to be some some mountain, some peaking to the, you know, the top of mountains going on. Some Nepalese folks were doing some stimulation for the Sherpas. I don't know what we're doing. I love Sherpas. But does that have anything to do with the Sherpas getting like, what is it tips for Sherpas? I don't understand what we're doing here. Folks, we don't have this money like that's the problem here.

[00:08:41]

We don't have the money. Has anyone stopped for a moment? And by anyone, I don't mean the conservatives and libertarians who watch my show who are actually smart. I mean, the liberals who watch my show because I get your nasty grams. Have you stopped for a moment and ever said to yourself, this is why I said I just said before that economics is dead and common sense with it? We are on the certain path to bankruptcy, we are twenty seven trillion dollars in debt as a nation that only produces about twenty two trillion in wealth every year.

[00:09:11]

We owe everything we produce in a year and then some a five trillion dollar tip subpena.

[00:09:19]

Has anyone stopped the liberals and said, well, where is all this dinero, dough, money, bread, where's it coming from? Has anyone stopped? Well, Rand Paul did. Senator Rand Paul, who's one of the few principled guys left up on Capitol Hill. Voted against this particular disaster and gave a speech that quickly went viral yesterday on the floor. I can't play the whole thing. It's nine and a half minutes long, but I encourage you to listen to the whole thing because it's very good.

[00:09:47]

Here's just a short clip of it where Rand Paul has the kind of common sense question, right, Joe Pollycarpus is where the money come from. Yeah. Paula says, that's right, common sense, right? Mean you'd like to know if your daughter showed up in your house and she was 16 or 17 yesterday with a suitcase full of a trillion dollars with a lot of suitcases. Your first question would probably be, hey, or like a bearer Vietnam where God don't come from.

[00:10:13]

So Rand Paul has this on the House floor yesterday. Check this clip out. This is very, very good.

[00:10:19]

This bill is free money for everyone. Proponents don't care if you're fully employed or own your own house or own your own business.

[00:10:28]

Free money for everyone they crime. And yet, if free money were the answer, if money really grew on trees, why not give more free money? Why not give it out all the time? Why stop at six hundred dollars a person? Why not a thousand dollars? Why not two thousand dollars? Maybe these new free money? Republicans should join the everybody gets a guaranteed income caucus. Why not twenty thousand a year for everybody. Why not thirty thousand.

[00:11:01]

If we can print up money with impunity, why not do it. The Treasury can just keep turning the money. That is, until someone points out that the Emperor has no clothes and that the dollar no longer has value.

[00:11:18]

You know what's really crazy? When you talk about the impending collapse of the constitutional republic, if we don't do something, I'll talk about what can be done, because I never want to leave you with a problem without a solution in a moment. But you know how you how you've reached the point of no return and the point of maximum tragedy. When the Babylon be a satire site like The Onion, it's at the sites, it's a joke. It's meant to be satire.

[00:11:47]

When the Babylon B headline is absolutely right and satire becomes real life, here's an actual headline to Babylon B, not a joke. Americans excitedly anticipate getting paid with their own money to Babylon. B it's a satire site that's a bit less. That's funny because it's true. We're all like, yes. Six hundred dollar checks. From who? From us. From us, where did the money come from? Rand Paul is a common sense question, where'd the money come from?

[00:12:18]

I can start walking around with the show. Can we get a bigger studio? I really do. All like Glenn Beck style. And he was on Fox at five o'clock. We need to do that. I need to start walking around because I have too much energy to do this show sitting down. So I'm always rolling around. It drives Paul a crazy sick stop moving. You're ruining my shot. That's my fault, not hers. Where did the money come from?

[00:12:37]

So, folks, in order to make this simple, not for the conservatives, I'm very sorry, but for the liberals who watch my show who never seem to ever ask this question, Rand Paul asks, where did we get this money? Six hundred dollars going to show up in your mailbox. Wow. Where did it come from? I don't know. Well, it comes from three spots. That money the government sends you can come from you via your taxes, send the government six hundred in taxes, they take a cut for themselves.

[00:13:10]

They send you back your six hundred plus what? Two hundred for them, whoknows. We can borrow it from foreign nations, which we've done. Say, oh, well, that doesn't sound too bad, you folks, we don't they are not lending us this money, they are capped out. Foreign nations, notably Japan, China and the U.K., some of our biggest foreign bondholders haven't lent even a fraction of what you're getting in the mail. So if it ain't coming from taxes because the tax base every year is like two point four to 2.5 to three trillion dollars in total taxes paid to the government, and we're spending five trillion.

[00:13:51]

And the other two trillion isn't being made up by foreign governments. Then you should ask yourself, if this bill was roughly nine hundred billion or another trillion, where did we get the money from? If it didn't come from taxes and it didn't come from foreign borrowing, the answers were just printing in printing. They don't like Monopoly money. Hey, here's one hundred. I'll write it on it. It's called counterfeiting. When you do it. When the government does it, it's called stimulus.

[00:14:15]

Why is it when you do it, it's a federal crime? But when the government does it, again, it's called stimulus. Well, when you do it, it's a crime because people sense the inherent unfairness of you going to your computer and printing up a hundred dollar bills, correct, folks is very sensitive topic to me. In my prior line of work as a federal agent, we investigated currency counterfeiting. That's actually how the Secret Service was founded, not to protect the president.

[00:14:44]

That didn't happen till 1910. The Secret Service was founded in 1865 to investigate counterfeiting because it was such a rampant problem and people were like, that doesn't sound fair, I have to work for my money and some dude gets to print it. But when the government does it, we all clap. And liberals who bark like seals. This is so great. We're printing it. Well, what happens when the governments print money, governments, not just us, it's happening all over the world right now.

[00:15:14]

Liberals don't see and they see no downside to this whatsoever, oh, it's government, they know what they're doing, they're printing it. They'll never be a downside, really. Because when you print money not backed up by value, just like when Joey bag doneness prints counterfeit bills in his house, he hasn't worked for what happens. There's an inherent asymmetry here. If everybody just started printing money in their homes, breaking federal law and printing up hundred dollar bills randomly, you would have a whole bunch of extra hundred dollar bills, right?

[00:15:47]

Yes, right. Because everybody would just start printing them. Yeah. And the problem is you wouldn't have that many products to suck up those hundred dollar bills because the people printing them on their home computers didn't actually produce anything to get them. They didn't produce medicine. They didn't produce tables. They didn't produce phones. They didn't produce pens, notebooks, gavel's, St. Michael Medal's rocks that the giant Centas gave me. They didn't do that. They just printed paper.

[00:16:19]

So a whole lot of paper paper you print in your house is chasing the same number of products or less because nobody's producing any products. Which makes what? Those products really expensive. It's called inflation, but again, when government does it, liberals are like, no, I'm sure they know what they're doing. Do they? Here's the great Milton Friedman. We love Milton Friedman. I know he's been making a lot of appearances on the show, but no one explains it better than Milton Friedman, God rest his heroic soul.

[00:16:53]

Here is Milton Friedman explaining the terror of inflation, how inflation. This is a long clip, but it did when I'm thinking in place and it's about a minute or so. But this Clippy, the speech he gives is very long. He explains how inflation has collapsed. Empires and countries, the Winmar Republic countries in South America, Chile entirely collapse their economy. And it's a government phenomenon every single time. Watch the brilliant Milton Friedman today.

[00:17:20]

Government control the quantity of money so that as a result, inflation in the United States is made in Washington and nowhere else.

[00:17:32]

Of course, no government any more than any one of us likes to take responsibility for bad things where all of us human. If something bad happens, it wasn't our fault. And the government is the same way. So it doesn't accept responsibility for inflation. If you listen to people in Washington and talk, they will tell you that inflation is produced by greedy businessmen or it's produced by grasping unions or it's produced by spendthrift consumers. Or maybe it's those terrible Arab sheiks who are producing.

[00:18:10]

Now, of course, businessmen are greedy who are this isn't trade unions are grasping who of us isn't. And there's no doubt that the consumer is a spendthrift. At least every man knows that about his wife. But none of them produce inflation for the very simple reason that neither the businessman nor the trade union nor the housewife has a printing press in their basement on which they can turn out those green pieces of paper we call money. Only Washington has that printing press and therefore only Washington can produce inflation.

[00:18:52]

I just want to know my wife's like why you spend way more than me. She strongly objects to the way which is true. If it wasn't for her, we'd be broke. I could get like crazy sometimes. Outside, that's outside, that's genius. The government has the official printing press, but the actions they take are no different than if you were to have a printing press in your house and do the same thing. The government prints more money, either digitally or literally prints it through bills, it winds up in banks in circulation, and it chases products that nobody produced.

[00:19:31]

You get money to produce products. You work in a furniture factory, you produce furniture. You get paid those bills and go out and chase other products. People work for the produce. That's what would happen when the government prints money. More bills, more money chases the same or even less products for nothing because nothing was created or done. And what do you get? You get massive inflation as more money chases, less stuff. It's not hard.

[00:19:56]

But when the government does a pork in this bill, money, it doesn't have to do, taxes it hasn't borrowed and doesn't come from a rainy day fund. And they printed everybody says, no worries, they know what they're doing. Do they let me just rewind to the beginning where I told you the stupidest people among us and a country of three hundred and thirty million, the dumbest among us all happened to get elected to Congress in the Senate and individual state houses at the same time, not all of them.

[00:20:25]

There's a few good ones left the Rand Paul's to the world. But if you were to take general IQ tests, I can pretty much guarantee you the dumbest of all of us aptitude and achievement wise happen to reside in elected positions in government.

[00:20:40]

Economics is dead. That's why I keep playing these Friedemann videos. We have to bring it back. Or there is no hope. It largely ignorant society of common sense rules of economics cannot possibly continue what it Herb Stein, Ben Stein's former member, Ben Stein from Ferris Bueller. Do you know his dad? Farbstein Time is a very famous economist, not a Joe. Herb Stein had this rule what can't continue? That doesn't sound like no, no, it's a genius rule.

[00:21:17]

This can't continue and it won't. But will happen, we will eventually collapse into an inflationary spiral. Like what happened in Myanmar and elsewhere, where business owners had to pay their employees three times a day, not a joke. Had to pay him in the morning because by the afternoon, the morning money was no good anymore. This isn't a joke. By the afternoon they had to get paid because the afternoon money wouldn't be good in the evening. And then they had to pay them again in the evening because the afternoon money was no good anymore because it was worth something totally different.

[00:21:48]

You think that's a joke? Look that up. All right, I got the solution coming up and there is this I don't like to propose problems to you and be a, you know, apocalyptic. Without presenting to you some solution and path forward, but it requires people with guts, cojones and smarts, and we don't have any of them in D.C. after the pork in this bill yesterday. Veto this thing, take a stand now or we're not going to have anything left.

[00:22:17]

I'll get this. Let me get to my second sponsor. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a great gift for the holidays for those of you looking for a very special and unique gift. Right. What better thing than I target? Listen, we've been reminded, sadly, this year about a lot of things important, the importance of the Second Amendment, protecting yourself and your family this holiday give a really unique gift, the gift of safety and practice with your firearm.

[00:22:39]

Give them a target pro. You have the constitutional right to self-defense. We know that. But you have a moral obligation to be safe. But to be safe, you have to own a firearm. No one, but you have to be proficient with it. Proficiency matters. Ammo is really expensive. It's tough to get to the range. Some of the ranges are closing down right now. That's why Target was invented. They have a proprietary app and a laser round.

[00:22:59]

You can now train safely in the convenience of your own home with your actual firearm. No manipulations to your firearm necessary to drop. That lays around in and you practice your dry fire training. What's drive fire training? It's when you take a dry firearm and you check it, you check it twice. It is not loaded with any live ammunition. You drop in the laser room for my target pro, it comes with a target. And now, instead of depressing the trigger on it, safely unloaded a firearm.

[00:23:27]

The laser will limit around and you see where the round would have landed on the target. The perfect way to practice you fire in a little low left a little low. Right. Maybe you're anticipating fix that all would I target practice your breath control, trigger control. Sight alignment, sight picture muscle memory, your grip, your use of cover, whatever you need. I target programs in all major calibers, even two to three and five, five, six.

[00:23:51]

Today you can save 10 percent plus get free shipping with the offer code Danisco. This is a spectacular gift. They've been a sponsor for a long time. The email feedback on the show, if I had time, I'd read them all espectacular. People can't put this product down. No, Joe, when you go to Target Broadcom, get that 10 percent off plus free shipping the promo code, then it's the smartest, best way for you to practice.

[00:24:13]

It pays for itself. In just a few days, you won't put it down. That's the letter. I target Broadcom. I target product use offer code. Dan, thanks. I target Trump. All right.

[00:24:22]

So what's the solution? Anybody can sit here and whine about how stupid people elected to office are and they really know economics is dead. Well, we revive economics one by educating folks like Friedman is educated me and I'm hopefully passing this on to you. But there is a solution to this. What's the basic problem with the government printing money? Well, I explained that to you before. You print the whole lot of money nobody worked for. There's no value behind it.

[00:24:49]

It's printed and it goes and chases the same amount of products, medicine, school tuition, products and services, fans, cannibals, whatever. And those products get more expensive because there's more bills chasing them. It's not complicated math only for liberal. So the solution, if you're going to print money, which we've done, you can't unplanted sorry, folks, you can't unplanted. You can increase interest rates to try some of it up, but one of the things we can do is focus on producing more stuff so more stuff will eventually even out.

[00:25:26]

The more money and we won't have dramatic inflation. I'm not suggesting that's the best idea. Printing money is still a horrible, awful, stupid idea. But now that it's been done, we've got to fix it. So we've got to produce more stuff called an economics productivity. And Andy Kessler, who I love, this guy's writing at The Wall Street Journal. It's really spectacular. I highly recommend the K SS LIRR. He writes, I don't know, every other day, every third day column at the Wall Street Journal.

[00:25:54]

And they are always masteries. He had this piece up at the Wall Street Journal, which addresses this very same point, how productivity and producing more stuff, more output with either less input or the same input will help eventually stave off this inflationary scenario. We articles specifically about inflation, but I'm telling you, we have to produce more stuff to basically chase all the money we're printing or everything's going to get really expensive and you will be drowned out. And nations have collapsed.

[00:26:23]

The articles called Andy Kessler How Tech Got Ready for twenty twenty. And he brings up a couple of interesting phenomenons, how this awful year when it comes to. Coronavirus and just the election results, it's just been a bad year, folks, not the worst year in humanity, people tend to get a little dramatic as the people who fought in the trenches of World War One, if it was the worst of this, this doesn't even come close. It was bad, really bad, but it wasn't anywhere close to that.

[00:26:52]

That's the men and women of Pearl Harbor. You know, if this was the worst year in human history. Not. Shockingly. There's the coronaviruses, obviously, a massive human tragedy, folks. But we have to be able to look at least through some kind of positive lens and we'll all be depressed all the time, a lot of technology was forced upon us by this epic human disaster. And Kessler addresses it in the piece. And this leads into productivity, how we learned how to produce more services really fast because we had to.

[00:27:28]

He brings up a couple of things how our technology in the United States is still better than anywhere else. She says streaming via Netflix and a dozen other other services was ready. And then some people sat home. These home entertainment systems were ready for it, he says. Next year, Maida's major studio films will appear simultaneously, simultaneously in theaters and on streaming services. Previously unthinkable, you say. All right, well, that's entertainment stuff. That's not that important.

[00:27:53]

Then what else are we producing? He says while the ready list stuff was ready with the pandemic was amazing contactless payments through Apple Pay, he says. Though Apple Pay didn't work well with mask's meal delivery, grocery delivery, retail logistics, Eberling ticketless travel, airport security line cutting, retinal scans, motion sensing Purell dispensers. Amazon was ready with essentials but six weeks to deliver a book. He goes, Yes, I've heard a Kindle and weirdly ballpark crowd noise sold to video game companies with sold back to teams all accidentally ready.

[00:28:30]

The point Kessler's making is that we are still the United States, and despite the mass of stupid people that have all aggregated on Capitol Hill, amazingly the dumbest among us all happened to be on Capitol Hill at one time. The United States is full of entrepreneurs and hardworking patriots who have still figuring out ways, even in a pandemic, to produce stuff. People value everything from entertainment to Major League Baseball teams valuing crowd noise to make the experience seem genuine.

[00:29:03]

Contactless payments. People have figured it out. You don't have to touch stuff where the viral transmission could touch your hand. People can just wave their phones, retinal scans at airports. I have that, Paula. What's it called? The thing we do at the airport with the retinal scan. What's that thing called? Do you remember the line? Gosh, I can't think of it, but I have it. I love it. It's the greatest thing ever.

[00:29:27]

You go up to the TSA line, they have a special line. You put your eyeballs or your fingerprints down, boom, right there. You don't even have to show your driver's license. All this stuff was ready. So the bad news, all the stupid people have decided to vote on a bill where we're going to print money we don't have that are going to chase products. The semi good news, clear, yes, clear, I love clear eyed love that is the greatest thing ever.

[00:29:57]

The good news. Even though these idiots are printing money we don't have. We can still minimize the consequences, there will be consequences. The Daniel Day Lewis, there will be blood, make no mistake, remember, that movie has a great movie. But we can minimize the blood loss by producing services and products in enough quantities in this entrepreneurial great society, that we at least minimize the effects. Time to leave you with some good news. I just wish we didn't have so many stupid people in D.C..

[00:30:32]

The dumbest among us. Yeah, I mean by that, by chance, you would think, like at least a few smart people would make it up just your chance alone. What are the odds that all of the dumbest people all are up on Capitol Hill? It's just incredible.

[00:30:46]

Well. It really is, and that's why I said, people, I love it when people, you know, poke fun at me online for losing elections. They never ran it. They've never run for office, ever. It happens on holiday. But if it does, they. Right. They always respond to be back on parler. You lost three elections. Yeah. Yeah. OK, I've lost a lot of things in life. I didn't get it to medical school either.

[00:31:11]

I struck out a lot my first year a little league. We've also started a hundred billion dollar companies, the most successful podcast behind Ben Shapiro on the planet. Pajarito Report others. A life is full of failures. Folks, I got news for you, but I get in the ring and I throw punches while you sit on the sideline like a bunch of cowardly chumps. You are the criticisms and throw popcorn at the guys. Actually, Boxey, for a living, you can plant a big wet one on my.

[00:31:40]

Dorce. Money sideline criticism. I love the next best thing that ever happened, seriously, was me losing that race. It was like Obi Wan Kenobi, you strike me down. People get strong. This show has given us a platform we would have never had up there in that mess of embezzles. Listen, I covered this yesterday, moving on a bill bars, I don't want to pile on, he has done a lot of good things and I respect the man's gusto and guts.

[00:32:13]

He has done some good things and we shouldn't deny that. But a series of just, I think, misstatements and really bad choices are plaguing his last days. I think his last days, the 20, 20, 30, which today, 20 seconds for tomorrow, of course, the attorney general. There are liberals listening who don't know that. Here's another one at the Epic Times. You can read the story again in the show, notes Bill Barr says he has no plans to appoint a special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe.

[00:32:38]

Why? By Tom Osmakac Times. Again, I don't mean I I have a lot of respect for the man, I think his hearings up on Capitol Hill, he had a lot of guts. He's made a lot of good calls. But I covered a lot of the yesterday his statements about the CIA, I think we're maybe I'm reading them wrong. I don't know. Watch yesterday's show. You'll see what I mean. I don't want to relitigate that, but.

[00:33:02]

Why are we not naming a special counsel in the Hunter Biden case? We know there's an active FBI investigation. We know now that there's a strong possibility that Joe Biden will become the next president and you can see I'm not conceding anything, folks, you listen to my speeches or my show. I'm just telling you what the probabilities if you don't like that, I'm very sorry. Not conceding anything, we need to fight and fight and fight, it's what we do on this show.

[00:33:32]

But there's a strong likelihood that the father of the man under investigation, Joe Biden, father of Hunter Biden, for the liberals who missed it. Will appoint the attorney general to oversee the case against his own kid. Why would we not appoint a special counsel again? If please if you can explain to me as a sentient free thinking being how that is not a conflict of interest, that would require a special counsel under the Democrats own rules for special counsels, I'm open to hearing it.

[00:34:06]

I'm sorry, Mr. Barr, this is a bad call, you obviously disagree. I think this is a terrible, destructive call. There is no question in my mind, in my mind that if Joe Biden walks into the White House, he will do everything in his power. I don't care what Jen Psaki, his spokeswoman, said, everything in his power to obstruct the investigation into his son. So it was OK to appoint a special counsel to look into the PPY hoax and the collusion hoax everybody knew was fake from the start.

[00:34:36]

That dragged on for three years with this Bob Mueller fiasco. But it's not OK to appoint a special counsel to look into the potential president's son who's under investigation by the FBI. Now, how is that? New rules, ladies and gentlemen, the Democrats wanted the new rules. Remember, my new rules show the old rules are gone and we have the Constitution. The Democrats don't care about the Constitution. A constitution only matters if it constitutes a series of principles that both sides abide by.

[00:35:15]

What does the Constitution matter if half the country says it doesn't matter? I don't understand. I'm not kidding. Fidelity to the Constitution only matters if everybody agrees it constitutes something. A set of guiding principles, laws and regulations and rules we abide by, the left doesn't care. So what the left is throwing that out and now likes the appointment of special counsel, which I agree are a terrible idea, but the other half of the country, the Libs folks, they don't agree.

[00:35:53]

They think special counsels for political punishment are a terrific idea. OK, those are your rules. New rules are we're going to take your rules and shove them up your caboose. You think special counsels are a great idea, despite the fact that they are probably extraconstitutional and violate separation of powers. We'll play by those rules, too, when your guys up and he's being investigated in time for a special counsel when you're ready to go back to the old rules.

[00:36:22]

I'm all ears. Until then, take your rules and swallow them like the syrup of ipecac. They wanted this. They wanted these new rules, so let's give them to. Whoever. The Jeff Rosen is going to be the new acting attorney general for the next month or so. Don't leave without appointing a special counsel for her by their their rules folks, not ours. They like their new rules. Let's see how much they really like their new rules.

[00:37:05]

Because the only way to go back to the old rules. Is to make liberals feel the effect of their new rules. And say, you know what, I think I'd like the old rules better where we had a constitution and actual separation of powers that protected all of us, that sounded really good. But they won't know it sounds good until what sounds really bad, which is a special counsel investigating their guy. All right, let me get to my third sponsor and I want to get to this next piece because it's important, I want to explain to you what's going to happen.

[00:37:38]

There are members of Congress looking to challenge the January 6th reading out of the Electoral College votes, how this is going to work. None of these parts are good folks. That's why I keep talking about probabilities and I'm not going to mislead you. I don't give up or concede anything, but I'm not going to mislead you. We'll get to that next. All right, today's show brought to you by a frenzied hymns. Listen. Sixty six percent of men start to lose their hair by age 35.

[00:38:02]

You know that. Come on, men, our hair. We were like Samson. We did our hair. You need your hair. We love our hair. This is a pretty sensitive topic. I'm not losing my hair because of that, because of the chemo. And it hasn't fallen out yet, which is crazy. But we love our hair. That's why I'm a little freaked out about when you noticed thinning hair can be too late for him.

[00:38:19]

Starcom is a one stop shop for hair loss. It's time to write a new chapter where you have new, beautiful flocking means of hair samples and style hymns is helping guys be the best version of themselves with licensed medical providers and FDA approved products to help treat hair loss.

[00:39:50]

Starcom Obongo. Check it out. Don't wait. Sorry about what you avoirdupois response. It's a great company. All right, moving on.

[00:40:09]

We got to get you on camera. It is a must I have so many people asking, like, when is Miss Paula going to get on camera? It will happen. We're eventually going to build out a new studio. We've finished up our tech. So we'll eventually build out a new a bigger studio where I could walk around and we can get a camera. She has a camera. She doesn't want to do it for now. But I'm convincing her slowly based on audience feedback, as her responses sometimes are absolutely priceless.

[00:40:32]

All right, let's go back. EPIK Times has a piece about this. So very serious topic. Some congressional leaders met with President Trump at the White House yesterday. They plan on contesting what's going to happen on January 6th, what happens on January 6th. Why does it matter to you? I'll get to it. Let me just get this headline, Jack Feliks Phillips, that the Epic Times read the piece, be in the show notes today, Mark Meadows, President Trump's chief of staff.

[00:40:54]

Trump met with several congressional members on fraud and they, quote, will fight back. What does that mean? Well, let's dig into the piece and find out. One member of the Senate and one member of the House are needed to challenge a state's Electoral College votes, no senator has definitely confirmed they would challenge the Electoral College votes. This readout happens on January 6th. An important date, folks, although Senator elect Tommy Tuberville in Alabama and Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky have both suggested they may join House member Mo Brooks and other GOP House representatives.

[00:41:32]

What does this mean? Very simply, on January six, there is a reading in the House of the presidential electors and their votes. Fifty states have confirmed those slates of electors. Some states are the Republican Party have sent an alternate slate, but the states have confirmed their electors. Those will be read out up on Capitol Hill, there is a process, though. A House member can object to that slate of electors say say Florida has twenty nine electors, they're going to go for President Trump because President Trump won Florida.

[00:42:12]

Those twenty nine electors have signed ballots, have signed their their presidential electors statements. They're going to someone can challenge that, can challenge the slate of electors. Now, let me read out to you from the National Constitution Center. What happens if a now, just to be clear, Joe, if I might explain this. Well, you know, it's your obligation as a House member can object. But in order for that objection to be formally lodged, a senator from a senator has to do it, too.

[00:42:42]

So they need a House member and a Senate member. All right. OK, what happens then? Well, let's go to the National Constitution Center, Constitution Center, dawg. And here is what happens. Objections to individual state returns must be made in writing by at least one member of the Senate, as I just said. And House of Representatives both can have one. It's not an either or. It's both. If an objection to that slate of electors meets these requirements, the joint session recesses and the two houses, the House and the Senate separate debate the question in their chambers for a maximum of two hours.

[00:43:20]

The two houses then vote separately to accept or reject the objection. They then reassemble in joint session and announce the results of their respective votes. An objection to a state's electoral vote must be approved by both houses in order for any contested votes to be excluded. Folks, this is where. The probability part comes in, which I owe to you, I don't owe you any dishonesty. For the sake of effect. No matter who gets up and objects to a state, say, Michigan, where we were there was fraud.

[00:43:56]

Was there enough fraud to overturn the state's electoral vote? We don't know that. But there was unquestionably fraud in Michigan. So say a House member and a Senate member object to those state electors and say no, even though they went to Biden, the states confirmed that we're objecting. That's great, and I think that fight should continue, but what happens, Joe, it gets debated for a maximum of two hours.

[00:44:21]

Two hours? Yeah. They have two hours to debate it and the House and Senate vote on it. Ladies and gentlemen, the House is controlled by Democrats. Nancy Pelosi controls the House. They are not going to agree to that. That's not giving up, that's not conceding anything, that's just hard political football. I think the fight continues. I think the fight should continue. I support their efforts to do it. But the hard political reality is, unless some Democrats fold.

[00:44:56]

Which they won't because they hate this man. They're just going to shut it down. I wish I had better news for you there. But am I going to make it up? But the fight does matter. It always matters. You know, just quickly before we move on, I got a couple more stories I want to get to. They're important, a little different than yesterday's show, which was very long and lengthy, but spelled out the whole Spygate thing and why Barr is wrong, folks, to things that haven't been explained to me about this election cycle and why I'm not.

[00:45:32]

Because you may ask, you know, some liberals. That's fair enough. If you watch my show, you may say, Dan, why are you still refusing to concede this election? Because, ladies and gentlemen, I haven't had two electoral abnormalities explained to me in any sufficient way that satisfies my curiosity about the results. Number one, how is it that signature match verification? Was that some of the lowest points we've seen in modern times, despite the fact that historic numbers of people voted through the mail where the only verification process was your signature on a ballot, you never showed up and showed an I.D. at a polling location.

[00:46:11]

You literally signed the ballot. You got in the mail and gave it to your mailman. How is it that in an election where untold historic numbers of people there are only authenticating feature on their ballot was their signature? Historic numbers of people did that and yet signature matches where where they where they found a problem with it was at the lowest level in modern history. That doesn't make any sense. More people use signatures to authenticate and less people screwed it up.

[00:46:41]

It doesn't make sense in an election where more people use mail ballots. You think historic numbers of people would have screwed it up based on statistical data we have from elections past where we know how many people, one to two percent typically screw up a mail ballot. It wasn't one to two percent. In some states, it was point three percent. That doesn't make any sense. First time people vote by mail and magically more people succeed at it. Does that make sense to you?

[00:47:14]

That has not been explained to me. Sufficiently second, the Rohloff phenomenon, how historic numbers of people in inner cities voted for Joe Biden at the top of the ballot and skipped all of the other races on the ballot, a logical explanation would be some of those votes were probably fraud. Why does that mean fraud then? Because if you're going to vote fraudulent, you need to overcome a big voting deficit. You don't have time to fill out every single, every single election on the ballot.

[00:47:47]

You just vote for Biden at the top because that's your primary concern and you mail it in. Historic numbers of people only voted for Biden, who never voted on any other election on that ballot. It doesn't make sense, folks. The Democrats are in no eager rush to explain it to anyone. All right, one final sponsor and I want to get this. I got a little bit of a cut from my turning point speech, which a lot of I don't usually play my own stuff, as you know, it's rare, but I got a really nice email from a gentleman who lost his son.

[00:48:22]

It was very touching me. And I read it yesterday. It was. And he was a little bit inspired by some of the speech. I want to play that. I want to just get to some warning signs. If you live in a liberal city, just don't go anywhere. I find a sponsor, dear friends, that simply say, listen, everyone wants to keep their home and family safe. Everyone, whether it's from a break in, a fire, flooding or, God forbid, a medical emergency.

[00:48:41]

What's the solution? Simply safe. It's what we use right here. You know, my background, security. I don't mess around. We you simply safe to secure our home.

[00:50:00]

Ladies and gentlemen, if you are one of our audience members in a blue state and we have many of them, we do a lot of diagnostics on our audience in and around demographic studies to see who's listening where. We don't know your name, but we can tell where the tips are from. We have big audiences in California and New York. Ladies and gentlemen, emulate Snake Plissken and escape from New York in L.A. as soon as you can. But please don't vote the crap you voted in up there, down here in states like Florida where I live.

[00:50:31]

The increasing peril I have this right there for Joel is about the increasing peril of living in liberal states. It's happening by the minute, not a joke. What am I talking about? This article being the show. And check out John Solomon's cool site. Just the news, dotcom. Some California lawmakers want to impose a wealth tax with far reaching canticles. OK, that's not news in California. California wants to tax wealthy people like Dan, how's that breaking news?

[00:50:57]

No, no, no. Listen to how this. Spectacular charity works, they not only want a wealth tax, if you go to California, you have like a rental and Airbnb and you stay there for more than a certain amount of time. Look at what they're going to do to you. Check out this piece. Read this. Just the. This is like a horror show. Their wealth tax proposal that was pushed this year applies to up to a zero point four percent tax in the amount of a state residents net worth.

[00:51:26]

Now, your income, your net worth over 30 million dollars. The proposed bill would have made those who spend more than 60 days in California a year subject to some level of this wealth tax. The amount of the person's wealth subject to the tax would depend on the amount of time spent in the state during the prior 10 years. And under the proposal, even leaving the state would not free the taxpayer of the burden because anyone had been subject to the tax in the preceding 10 years would still be subject to some level of the tax for up to 10 years.

[00:51:58]

Ladies and gentlemen, do not visit. I don't know what to tell you. I'm very sorry for our friends there. You if you are a person who's been successful and you are going to stay in California and this thing passes, evacuate as soon as you can. I am very sorry, but I cannot recommend with a straight face that you go to these places. You say, Dad, you said liberal states, not state California is bad enough.

[00:52:23]

I you know, I love our California friends, my buddy who's the manager in the restaurant. I never say where because I don't want Lib's to burn it down. I love you all. I always tell your viewers and listeners I love you, but please get out while you can. If you're a conservative. I'm serious. The place is a disaster area. New York, too. What about New York? Check out this video by the communist mayor of New York City, de Blasio, who's not even hiding his vadum, Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin allegiance at this point, what's the very core tenant of socialism from each according to his abilities, to each according to his knees.

[00:52:59]

In other words, redistribution of wealth. Right. That's what socialism is. Socialism, communism. It's the same thing. Only pseudo intellectuals want you to believe there's a difference. There isn't. Right. This is not stealth edited. This is actually the mayor of New York City going full, Vladimir Lenin right now talking about socialist principles. Check this out.

[00:53:22]

We need to profoundly change the distribution of resources. I like to say very bluntly, our mission is to redistribute wealth. A lot of people bristle at that phrase. That is, in fact, the phrase we need to use. We have been doing this work for seven years to more equitably redistribute resources throughout our school system. That means pre-K for all three for all Advanced Placement course.

[00:53:49]

So he's he's not even hiding. If this is an actual principle of communism, communist, the redistribution of wealth, he's not hiding it. He's like, matter of fact, when Fox called him out for it, he gave another he's like, Fox is right. I really want to redistribute wealth. So a couple of things here I thought about being this show is heavy on economics. We go back and forth spygate unabiding economics. That's what's different about the show.

[00:54:16]

Where's the wealth distribution center? Anyone? There isn't any. Of course, the wealth distribution center saying people unlike Bill de Blasio didn't. Not a mistake, not S.A.C. I liked. To the wealth distribution center, Joe is called the job, the wealth is, quote, distributed because Joe goes to work every day and Joe contracts out with us, provides US services. We then pageau upon an invoice where we redistribute our own money to Joe for services provided it's called the job.

[00:54:57]

A GOP, a Joe Bizzle, a job, a wealth distribution center is a job. Wealth is not distributed. It's on. That's a communist saying, literally. One more point on this. Ladies and gentlemen, the reason redistributing other people's earnings doesn't work is because nobody goes to work to pay for somebody else. For the liberals listening because you're really dopey, I'm not kidding and I get that. I was a graduate student in neuropsychology at the City University of New York because I hate what people talk about their education.

[00:55:52]

So but this story has a purpose. It's not to tout my educational bona fides. Nobody cares. But we did a lot of experimental psychology and on we would use animal studies and typically it was with these mice. And you have to dip or train mice. Those of you've done experimental cycle, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Do you get them thirsty, you put them in a cage with water and there's a dipper. A mouse doesn't, by instinct hit the dipper and they don't know what the dipper is.

[00:56:29]

So when they're thirsty, they want water. So what do you got to have them do? When they get closer to the dipper, you reward them and then closer to the dipper and then you reward them and eventually they put their little mouse upon the dipper and they hit the dipper and water comes out. And then what do you see them as? Do the right thing? They did. They did. They hit the water all day. That takes a long time to depart, train them out.

[00:56:52]

It does. Some of the students in the class, it would take them weeks that it's not age thing. They don't just figure it out. Oh, look, there's a metal hand. Let me play. Water comes out. I never once, never once, Joseph. So a mouse who was thirsty learned to dipper trying to give water to another mouse, I never saw that happen. I never once was like the mouse was like, OK, I hit this dipper and Joey, the mouse gets what?

[00:57:22]

This is great. Let me hit the dipper all day. It'll never, ever, never hit the damn dipper. We're no different human beings don't go to work to pay for someone else's car, we don't do it. It just doesn't happen. That only happens with Communist's where it doesn't happen and people starve to death because they're not going to farm their fields to feed government bureaucrats and not their own family. If you an experimental psychology student and you trained the mouse to give water to another thirsty mouse, email me.

[00:57:55]

I'd love to hear your story because it's never happened. Never write that paper up. We'll put it on the shelf. And the Journal of Experimental Psych, maybe they'll take it tomorrow. The bullshot thinks you go to work to pay for someone else's kids. Because he's not stupid now. This is best summed up, this show is talking about why these videos we're getting all these today because Joe liked them and he gave the greatest tease ever, not planned from beginning to show.

[00:58:22]

Here's the great Dinesh D'Souza, one of the smartest men. I've had him on the show twice and my interview series. Explaining a terrific analogy of why redistributing wealth, redistributing someone else's efforts, never, ever works, analogies are great. Check this out.

[00:58:38]

He talks about three children fighting over a flute. He says that one of them, Kaliya, made the flute a second one and believes that she is the best flute player and therefore deserves the flute.

[00:58:57]

And a third, Bob, who is the disadvantaged one?

[00:59:03]

Bob has never had a flute, and therefore he claims that he's the most deserving recipient of the flute and essentially a martius and goes, these people all sort of have a claim.

[00:59:16]

He goes, The claim of Carlaw is the libertarian claim of ownership by creation. The claim of an is the utilitarian claim that it would maximize happiness to to enable the person who plays the flute blat best to have the flute. And of course, Bob's claim you can call it the sort of leftist claim or the progressive claim. The victimology claim and an amateur sense point is to whom should we assign the flute?

[00:59:52]

And I want to zoom in here on the word we because you notice what's really going on is Amartya Sen has silently transferred ownership of the flute from the person who made the flute. To the state, to whom should we somehow he suddenly has a say in who gets the flute, but let's think about it. How did the flute come to be in the first place? Carla made the flute. It's Kala's flute. Absent Carla, there wouldn't be a flute.

[01:00:22]

So there's no question of redistributing the flute, flute, stone fall from the sky flutes on allocated in some original distribution. Flutes are created just as wealth is created.

[01:00:36]

And what what de Blasio means by wealth redistribution is confiscating wealth from the people who created it, giving it to people who didn't create it in exchange for their votes. That's the progressive ploy.

[01:00:52]

The Amen Brother Dinesh. Beautifully stated, the flute story. Who has the entitlement to air quotes to the flute? It doesn't matter, the person who created it created the flute, and if they don't create more flutes, there'll be no flutes. If you start taking their flutes and giving them to people who didn't make the flutes, there'll be no more flutes left. It doesn't matter who you think should have the flute. All that matters is you'll have no more flutes left the minute you take it from the person who actually created it and gave it to someone else.

[01:01:25]

That's all that matters. It'll be the end of flutes like it was the end of people eating regularly in communist countries when they instituted confiscation of their farm goods and everybody starve to death in the great famines. Because you're not going to farm your land to feed someone else. You'd rather be dead? And they were by the hundreds of millions. But keep it up, the Bosio. Great job. By the way, Denise has a terrific video account on Rumball.

[01:01:59]

You know, I'm an investor in Rumball, but as these videos up there, they're really good. Subscribe to his account, A Rumble in addition to mine, if you don't mind. It's really good. He has videos like this everywhere. And there are many better explainers than Dinesh. OK, folks, here's how we're going to end the show on a little bit of a happy note. So I was at the Turning Point USA conference, the Student Action Summit this weekend in West Palm and.

[01:02:23]

I put this speech up, by the way, on my parler account this morning, right before I do these exclusive teasers of the show, I'm at the Bongino parlor, if you'd like to follow me. But I put this whole speech up thanks to Rich Samantha, who put it on his account, and I just retweeted his link to his Rumball account. If you'd like to watch the whole speech about 20 minutes long, I. I poured my heart into it, and I appreciate all the the young warriors out there who showed up for the conference, but there was one part where the reason I mentioned this, this is about the two minutes or so hat tip to Breitbart, who put it on their social media account.

[01:02:56]

A lot of Hattab sorry, folks, but it's the right thing to do. Breitbart seemed to like this part. I was talking about my unfortunate cancer diagnosis. I'll be OK. I'm not a sob story for anyone, but how it made me reflect on things. And I brought up this piece of life advice that I got from the Black Swan, a book from Nassim Taleb. It's in his book. And the piece of life advice I discussed about collecting opportunities but not chasing trains.

[01:03:21]

Play the clip and I'll get to why it's important, because I'm always asked the best piece of advice ever, people come up to me. Dan, what's your best piece of advice you got for my son? And I say collect opportunities, but never, ever chase trends. Check this out. You know, most of you know, I was diagnosed with cancer recently. It really sucked, to say the least. That wasn't the best day of my life, but.

[01:03:44]

You know, it's one of the reasons I came out today and I wanted to thank you all. I am. Things look different when you get news like that. I know a lot of you in this room, sadly, have been touched by family members, sadly, some of you here yourselves. Thankfully, it's treatable and I think I'll be OK. About a month into treatment now, but ever.

[01:04:08]

Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate I do appreciate it. I will say this, the Skerritt gave me. Your most valuable gift you've been given by anyone outside of life, your life in general, by the God God, our creator is time. Don't screw it up. You all are young, you have the opportunity to go out there and collect vast troves of opportunities, you collected an opportunity by coming here book The Black Swan, one of the best pieces of advice you'll ever read is collect opportunities, but don't chase trains.

[01:05:05]

Collect every opportunity you can to meet someone, to talk to someone, to see an idea, to go take an extra class, to read an extra book, don't waste a moment of your time. You have an expiration date. And one of these days you'll have to come to reckon with that. Don't think because you're young that you can waste the time now you can't you're the warriors on the front lines of liberty, you have a fire in your heart so much greater than some of your fellow students out there who don't get that fight because you chose to do something and collect opportunities but don't chase trains either.

[01:05:38]

Meaning the train gets there at eight and you got there at eight on one, then, damn it, that's your fault and you screwed up. If you're chasing the train, you screwed up the best life advice I ever read.

[01:05:48]

It's a powerful book by Nassim Taleb, The Black Swan. I talked about it so often, and if I could sum it up in a sentence, it's exactly that I give this advice to anyone who ever asks, collect every opportunity you can. Time is your most valuable gift. I know it's said often, but we do have an expiration date. But you never think about it until you get a diagnosis of a disease you think could be fatal. Luckily, mine is treatable, but it didn't have to be.

[01:06:16]

And we didn't know that for a long time, me and Paula. And all of a sudden you start to realize that time is the one thing you can never, ever buy back. Doesn't matter how powerful you are, what title you have, how much money you've inherited, or it makes no difference. You can't buy one second back. Not all the money on planet Earth well earned there on Earth can buy back even one second of time. Not one.

[01:06:42]

Don't waste it. Collabs advice in his book, he talks about he was trying to get some characteristics of these unbelievably successful people. Sure, sure. There had to be something. They were the best looking, the smartest, the most athletic. What was it about them? They had the wealthiest parents. He tried to find common characteristics of these unbelievably successful people and he couldn't find it in the book. But you know what? He found the one thing they all did, these incredibly successful people across science, medicine, entertainment, education, it didn't matter.

[01:07:15]

They all collected opportunities and didn't waste time. Every opportunity, an opportunity to read a book, to read another article, to take another class, to educate yourself, to stay an extra hour at work, to produce that one extra product, to think through on a weekend, that one new idea you had, everybody's got to plan plans don't mean. Squad who implements the plan and does something about it that do matters, not the talk. Don't waste your time, collect every opportunity to learn from someone else, to go to a conference to see your mind with a new idea.

[01:07:51]

Don't waste the second of it ever, especially if you're young, because that expiration dates not looking down your neck, it's not breathing over your shoulder. You don't think it's real? Trust me, it's very real. I learned that the hard way this year. You will see your life totally different. Collect every opportunity, don't waste a second, you can't buy it back no matter how much you earn, no matter how much you're worth, no fancy car.

[01:08:15]

There is no trade and there's no trade. Backes Nothing that seconds lost. It's gone forever. But do not Chase Trains tells a story in a book Talab about a friend. And they will come to a different conclusion, but I always took away from that. If you say you're going to do something and you damn well better do it, if that train comes at eight o'clock and you arrive at eight 00 one, that is your fault. As I said in the speech, you blew it.

[01:08:41]

No one else. Don't ever chase a train. You know what time it's going to be there. Be there five minutes early and get there every day. You committed to going to college. You committed to a project and you damn well better finish it. I only had one rule with my daughter, with sports when she signed up for the season. I don't care how bad it got. She was playing that season out no matter what, and she knew that rule.

[01:09:02]

Don't chase trains, the train comes at eight. Be there at 755, no excuses, collect every opportunity, don't waste time. Thanks for all the feedback on the speech. Really appreciate it.
