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

There's a famous quote by Ellis brought up often brought it up last night on Sean Hannity's show that civilization is a thin crust on a volcano. We'll talk about that volcano today. What happened yesterday? The response to it. The media response to it, and now they find themselves in a real corner right now. It's going to be a very, very busy show with a lot of video, a lot of cuts and a lot of evidence that we're in a really dark place right now.

In the beginning of my show, our friends that express VPN. It makes sense to you.

The same company who controls half of online retail also passively eavesdrops on your private conversations at home. What about the idea that a single company controls 90 percent of Internet searches, runs your email service and gets to track everything you do on your smartphone? Big tech is more powerful than most countries are, and they profit by exploiting your personal data. It's time to put a layer of protection between your online activity in these tech juggernauts. That's why I use Express VPN.

Think about how much of your life is on the Internet. Sadly, every site you visit, video you watch, a message you send gets tracked in data mine. When you run express VPN on your device, the software hides your IP address, something big tech can use to personally identify you. So Express VPN makes your activity harder to trace and then sell to advertisers. Express VPN also encrypt one hundred percent of your Internet data to keep you safe from hackers and eavesdroppers on your network VPN.

There's all this without slowing your connections. Rated number one by CNN and Wired. What I like most about expressing VPN is how easy it is to use for me. Just download the app on your phone.

I've been warning you about this for a long time, if you're listening to the show, you know that don't need to play old clips of myself to prove what I'm telling you. It's true. If you've been here for a while, you've heard it in the past. I've been warning about this propensity for people in the media and on the other side of the political aisle to normalize political violence.

We can never, ever, ever normalize political violence, that volcano Ellis is referring to. That civilization is a thin crust on a volcano, that thin crust. It's comprised of certain things. Our Constitution, our police, our military. Law and order. But you know, what's interesting is when we talk about that thin crust that keeps the volcano from exploding and that is Ellis is right, that is what civilization is, civilized human behavior. That order, part of the law and order, is frequently left out.

Well, what is order? What is order mean? Well, the order portion of that refers to process, there are things we do and don't do to get a specific result. If we have a property dispute with our neighbor, we don't murder our neighbor to get the property dispute appropriately resolved because that wouldn't be an appropriate response. We can all agree, I guess. Right. There may be some liberal media people listening, so I have to be very careful here because they don't they have a tough time with this.

If we don't like what happened in a police incident. It's probably not orderly, appropriate or the proper process to go and burn down your neighbor's business, I'm not sure how that gets the problem solved of what you see to be an inappropriate police use of force. Having said that, yesterday, an appropriate response. To a dispute and an honest, strong dispute about what happened to the twenty twenty presidential election, it's not to go break windows at the Capitol and storm the Capitol floor, which ironically shut down any airing of the dispute about the twenty twenty election.

So I'm not sure what exactly the strategy was there, but it clearly wasn't a smart one. We can never normalize political violence ever. And the country's been on the road to doing that for a long time, and let me be crystal clear to all the liberal lunatics, listen to my show that if you're not willing to do an autopsy as to how we got to this point, tune out now, because this is only for serious people who are actually willing to think about what happened yesterday, how we got there, why we got there, what happened, and how we can prevent this kind of stuff from happening from future and keep the order part of law and order intact.

So we have a process. That doesn't break down completely. We normalize political violence, ladies and gentlemen, the weak have no power in our society. This is obvious to anyone listening. If violence becomes the first resort to resolve disputes between neighbors, disputes between government and citizens, dispute between citizens, citizens and government, disputes between political parties that involve the government. If violence becomes the first resort. Then who suffers the most? The people who need the most protection, the people who are the weakest.

We've been warning about this for a long time. Paula said to me last night, I'm glad you've done those shows in the past, talking about your time in talk radio when people have called in and they're upset about an election result, whatever it is, and they're like, we're going to go and storm the Capitol and I'm getting my you know, I'm going to kick this guy's button. I say to him, Do you know who your state legislator is?

Your congressman is? This is actual conversation I had on a phone at a radio station I worked at. And the guy who called in who wanted to resort to violence didn't even know who his local state delegate was. Maybe you want to try like the order process. Before we jump to absurdities like using violence. Having said that, ladies and gentlemen, the media has zero credibility here and they deserve to be roundly called out. Now, keep in mind, as I stated last night on Hannity's program, and I'll say again today on mine and you'll get a bit of a lengthier.

Conversation today from me. We have a ton of video to bring up here. There are liberal media people and liberals themselves who say, don't you dare bring up Blenman antifa where to keep the conversation solely on what happened with a limited group of people yesterday who acted inappropriately at the Capitol. We're supposed to keep the conversation only on them. I just did. I do not endorse political violence ever. It's been a conversation on my show repeatedly, period.

No caveats, no bullet points, no provisos. There's no more necessary. That's it. That's a categorical statement. Having said that, again, if you have been in the media and have been dismissing political violence for the last four years, you should sit down and shut up and stop telling people to ignore how we got here, because we're the minute you tell me to stop talking about it, I'm going to talk about it more. What do I mean?

So it's fascinating that although we have been consistent on this topic because we have actual principles that, as I just said for the umpteenth time, you cannot normalize political violence. It's the weakest in a society like that who are always the most damage, always. That's not been the take of the media. Oh, Dan, you can't talk about that. We got to talk about exclusively about Trump and what happened at the Capitol yesterday. No, no, we don't only have to talk about that.

We have to talk about political violence because it's important understanding how we got here. You know, I brought up this point last night and again, I'll bring it up again today. It's interesting how when the White House. Was under attack and under siege, I was getting calls from Secret Service friends of mine, fact, fact. Not hyperbole, not exaggeration. With the Black Lives Matter, a protest in Antifa in D.C. that turned violent. There were friends of mine who were legitimately concerned that the White House would fall.

I haven't said that before last night. I haven't said it on the show today. I don't think I may have. I may not. But I'm telling you now. They were friends of mine legitimately worried if one hundred or two hundred people stormed the fences of the White House, they were wondering what would happen. How the security plan would hold. I've never heard that conversation before, even when I was an active agent. But what was the story then when they were outside the White House, just feet from the gate?

And could have stormed it, and that broke bad and Secret Service agents and officers, uniformed division officers were what was the conversation from the media? Was it around condemnation of political violence like you get on this show today and you have been getting forever? No, that wasn't the conversation. The conversation back then, of course, was about how Trump was a coward because the Secret Service evacuated him to the bunker. He didn't leave and go down there himself.

He probably didn't even know where it is. They took him down there. That was the conversation. Kind of weird. No, Joe, how there wasn't some round condemnation of the dangers of storming a government building like we saw yesterday. We didn't see that conversation back then. You remember that one? I don't remember them.

You remember that one getting to know from Paula to. Wow, wow. That's weird. That's weird. I thought, you know, political violence was a bad thing in the media. No, it's been a bad thing here, but not over there. No wonder they don't want us to talk about. What about as mayor? What about him? You're darn right it is. What about your principles in the media? You don't have any. That's why you don't want to talk about it, that's why you're saying you can't mention that that's what about isn't.

Yeah, it is. Because if we don't have a standard set of principles, both the country lives, by then, we don't have a country. What about another government building in Portland, courthouse in Portland? Do you remember that story? What was that decades ago? No, no, that was just months ago, actually. We're a federal courthouse in the city of Portland was under assault nightly by a left leaning group of terrorists and Tifa. There were firework incendiary bombs thrown over the gate.

Were federal officers hurt and wounded, was under attack nightly. You remember that remember the round condemnation by the left wing media about how awful this was and the Portland mayor, Ted Wheeler, who just finally a week ago, after months of the courthouse being us all the just finally came around and said, hey, maybe now not calling out Antifa was a bad idea. You remember all the stories about how awful that was? I don't remember that. Matter of fact, as a talking head on television or whatever you call cable commentary.

I remember debating people on TV and watching commentary on TV by left wing commentators on Fox and CNN and elsewhere who would say, wow, we have to look at the bigger scope and condemn political violence, not just people in Portland. Oh, really? Wow. So you can't condemn what happened in Portland. You want to look at they always mention Charlottesville again. Isn't that what you're doing now talking about. Oh, no, no. We have been consistent on condemning political violence from day excusing.

I don't remember all the stories either from the left wing media when a group of lunatics took over a portion of Seattle, they called the Chais and then renamed the chap. Remember that one? Oh, they were left wing protesters, so now we can take over a portion of a city. Remember with the National Guard? They were asking the call in the National Guard and Trump was condemned for trying to take back the city and even the potential of using the National Guard, remember the condemnation by the media?

No, that was real. But then yesterday, it's interesting, the National Guard gets called in right away, so no National Guard when it's a left wing protest, but when it's a Trump rally, get them in there right away. You starting to see how there's two sets of rules in this country. And why the left wing media is so terrified that you're going to say that's what about ISM, you can't talk about that, I can talk about and we'll talk about whatever I want because I actually have principles.

Unlike you. We do a little thought experiment. If you think this is a unified country, the media has principles and to be candid. Some in the political leadership and the leadership of some law enforcement departments in big cities, to be fair, in the criticism, you think we have seven out of 10, this one country, this one said a law. You said law. Law applies to everyone. That's why it's a law. Right. You don't have like a law for one person, not a law for another.

Right? You do, really. So a little thought experiment. The child that was in Seattle, remember the left wing autonomous zone where they took over a portion of a city? Do you think of a Tea Party group walked into New York City and said, we're taking over these two or three blocks for a few months, do you think the mayor of New York City, de Blasio, would call it the summer of love, like Mayor Jenny Durkin called the chase in Seattle?

You think do you think that would happen? How how long do you think that would be allowed to exist before they were brought up on charges of terrorism? That Tea Party group. How long, Joe?

Ten minutes, 15 minutes. And that's what I was thinking, maybe maybe twenty two point five minutes. I'm not 20. I'm not not really sure.

Joe thinks I'm over, it probably is probably closer to five minutes before they find themselves. And Joe, what why is that? Why is that? Why was the Chai's called the summer of love and allowed to exist for over a month? And when a terror group took over portions of a big city. But yet, you know damn well in the liberal media, what I'm telling you should've that happened in New York City and it was a Tea Party group, they'd all be in jail.

Why is that? I thought we were all living under one set of rules, you know, unity, tolerance, principles, law and order.

Oh, that thought experiment didn't work out like you thought it did for you, huh? Maybe because, you know what I'm saying is true, and you hacks and lunatics and the left wing media that contributed to this vision, to this environment of of of normalizing political violence, maybe you're starting to say today, starting to go back and say, yeah, maybe I did. Maybe I did contribute to this. All right, I've got some video I'm going to get to in a second.

Let me get to my second sponsor. I'm going to show you exactly what I'm talking about. Today's show also brought to you by our friends at Helix. They have needed some good night's sleep. Yes, yesterday was not a good day. We had a trifecta of bad news yesterday. Folks here like Sleep Helix Mattresses, ladies and gentlemen, I was matched after I took the two minutes sleep quiz from Helix. The two minute sleep quiz is fantastic to a Helix Midnight Lux mattress, which I love.

Sleep calmly, peacefully aren't the only downside is you sleep over others homes and in hotels, you want to get back to your helix mattress, they have a quiz, he'll sleep. It takes just two minutes to complete matches your body type and sleep preferences to the perfect mattress for you. Why buy a mattress made for someone else? But he looks you're getting a mattress, you know, will be perfect for the way you sleep. Everyone's everyone's unique helix knows that they have soft medium fur mattresses, mattresses that are great for cooling you down if you sleep.

Not even a helix plus mattress for plus sized sleepers. I took the helix class. I told you I had the midnight lux that matched to me. It's perfect. I love it because I have arthritis, my shoulder and that's good for Sideslip. It's been awesome getting unboxing videos from so many of you who found the Hilux mattress of your dreams. I get tons of emails. People love it. If you're looking for a mattress, take the quiz out of the mattress.

Uematsu comes right to your doorstep for free. You don't ever need to go to a mattress store again. Hilux was awarded the number one best overall mattress pick of twenty twenty by GQ and Wired magazine. There's a reason they have a ten year warranty and you get to try it over one hundred nitrous. That good? They'll even pick it up for you if you don't love it, but you will. Hilux offers exclusive discounts for military first responders, teachers and students.

Helixes offering up to two hundred dollars of all mattress orders and two free pillows. What a deal for our listeners that he sleep that costs less than he sleep that Dan go today. All right. Thanks, Helus. Again, the reason the liberal media and others are trying to dictate the terms of this conversation right now is because they're terrified about grappling with actual principles, principles they don't have. The don't you dare bring up antifa BLM, which is that's.

What about Azem? Shows you that you're over the target and that they're terrified of their own history of dealing with political violence, that they not only forgave but incentivize. No, they didn't really. Let's go to the videotape here. Where were the media and the left where political violence was happening and being incentivized during the four years of Donald Trump? Well, here was Maxine Waters. Here's her. Joe, get ready for it. Here's Maxine Waters, Democrat far left radical congresswoman.

Here's Maxine Waters speaking out against political violence, encouraging her supporters on a microphone moment to go out and embrace Trump supporters. And although we have political differences, we should work them out through law and an orderly process, processes like elections. Here is her doing that. This is very, very nice of Maxine Waters. Check this out.

If you take your name and say nothing, you will get no sleep. And guess what? We're done to win this battle. God is on our side, on the side of the children, on the side of what's right. And if you see anybody on that cabinet, in a restaurant, in a department store and a gasoline station, you get hurt and you go in and you tell them they will die anymore. Oh, Joe, what did you do, man?

Yeah. Why did you do your messing again? Joe and Paula screwing up the whole show. Of course. Of course. That's not the cut I'm talking about. They cut where she was out there embracing it or giving them Biko's.

Oh, that's not that cut. That's right. That's. Democratic far left radical Maxine Waters encouraging people on a microphone. I'm screaming at them to get in the faces of Trump supporters, tell them they're not welcome anywhere and to get a crowd with you. Where was the media on that? I don't remember exactly because you never saw it in the media outside of Fox and other outlets, they covered it.

So whereas this show has no problem whatsoever today, because our principles have been consistent, political violence is insanity. You want your kids growing up in a society like that where law and order don't matter and we solve our problems by beating the snot out of everyone. Not me. But it's just odd that the media found religion just yesterday. Because they didn't have much to say about Maxine Waters. Here's another media darling. Joe, this man's smarter than everyone, here's Chris Cuomo, he's a lawyer.

Oh, yeah, no, you're just the audio producer and I was just a former cop. So what do I know, Paul? A web developer. We're all stupid. This is Chris Cuomo, J.D., Esquire, Esquire. He's a lawyer and he's on CNN, which means he's naturally smarter than us. Here's Chris Cuomo when he's talking about the Belmont Antifa riots. Here's Chris Cuomo, who's taking a stand for and been very consistent about how awful political violence is from the start.

Chris Cuomo, right. Here's Chris Cuomo saying, listen, if you have to assemble and do it, you better do it peacefully, because that's the order process of law and order. Chris, I mean, he was way ahead of the game, Joe, way before we were. Check this out.

Now, too many see the protests as the problem. No, the problem is what forced your fellow citizens to take to the streets persistent and poisonous inequities and injustice. And please show me where it says the protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful.

That's wrong. But again, that's not again, you're really damaging the flow.

Sorry. I don't know what you know when you do. Yeah, well, we may have to find and you may not hear from Joe again tomorrow and probably, you know, in jujitsu that, you know, what do they say go with the go with the flow and jujitsu. They say flow with the goal. You know, it's a way to not the kind of soft roll jujitsu. So Joe is not clearly going with the flow today on the show.

Of course I'm kidding. Joe is a great producer and that is the cut I sent. And that's Chris Cuomo who is confused about the Constitution, which I was kind enough to take a screenshot of him on my Constitution app and do the worst highlight ever that I give that to you. And it actually does say somewhere in our founding documents that if you are going to assemble, you should do so peaceably. There it is for Chris, who is.

He's a lawyer, Joseph. He's smarter than you. He's an Esquire. And me, I mean, clearly, he hasn't read the amendment one of the Constitution, also known as Amendment one of the Bill of Rights for Chris, where he calls on the right of the people or announces at the big R God given right of the people to peaceably assemble. There it is. That's my highlight. Paula was laughing how awful it is. I did it on my phone in two minutes, if you'd like to see the awful video of it rumbled on Jena, where you can watch my terrible highlighted Christmas that he's confused about.

Where does it say we have to assemble peaceably? The Constitution says. Here's an interesting bunch of tweets by Ali Velshi, Ali Velshi and Caleb Caleb Hall, by the way, called This is another guy at MSNBC who is, of course, again, because he's on MSNBC, smarter than us. Ali Velshi, he's been entirely consistent as well about where he stands on political violence. Here's a tweet by Caleb talking about this with Ali Velshi. And again, the Black Lives Matter Antifa writes MSNBC reporter Ali Velshi.

Just now, I want to be clear on how I characterize this. This is mostly a protest. It's not, generally speaking, unruly with an attached photo of Ali Velshi standing in front of a building being burned down in the middle of riot.

So Velshi, who's smarter than us and MSNBC, and you've all demanded we not discuss any where they're going to dictate the terms of the conversation because of course, they've been better than us on this. Here's Ali Velshi now about the events of yesterday. Trump incites Mob is the headline. This is his actual Twitter account is the headline of the morning's New York Times. Any journalist who sugarcoats their language, who normalises what has happened today isn't doing their job.

Our job is to bear witness and tell the truth. Trump is attempting a coup and inciting violence. Of course, none of that actually happened. But this is the same Ali Velshi. Who is literally standing in front of a burning, you know, I hate the word literally a burning building in the middle of a riot, saying this is an generally unruly. And these people are going to dictate the terms of the principled conversations and our conversations have been principled, we have been entirely consistent.

Because I believe in big our God given rights for everyone, and if you really believe in Biga, God given really believe in that and you think attacking another human being. We're committing a crime in advance of your cause, it's going to benefit you because that's. No, no, no, no, no, no. Of course, Ali, Chris and Maxine Waters haven't been consistent on that. Maxine Waters actually called for aggressive political action against your opponents, quote, get in their face, tell them they're not welcome.

There's more. Of course, there's always more. Because, again, the media and liberal hypocrisy on this is stunning. And if we're not going to live by a common set of principles. Then one common government is not going to work because they set of rules, a set of laws and orderly processes that only apply to one party or nine to law orderly or processes, they're just suggestions. Here's Ayanna Pressley, Democrat member of Congress, again, calling for peace in the streets and law and order.

Let's handle this the right way to peaceable assembly and elsewhere. Of course, that's not what this is. Check this out.

I'm looking to the public. You know, this is as much about public outcry and organizing and mobilizing and applying pressure so that this GOP led Senate and that these governors that continue to carry water for this administration, putting the American people in harm's way, turning a deaf ear to the needs of our families and our communities, hold them accountable.

Well, make the phone calls and the emails show up. You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there is unrest in our lives. And unfortunately, there's plenty to go around.

There you go. Not my about my words, her words. There needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there's unrest in our lives. Her words along with Maxine Waters, Chris Cuomo, well, I got more. But now all of a sudden, these are the authority figures on political violence after they've normalized it. What does the unrest in the streets mean? Was she ever asked to clarify that statement? Of course she wasn't because she's a leftist, she was given a total pass because political violence and unrest in the streets is only acceptable if you're a leftist.

But again, these are the principal people who think principles only apply to one group of people, not the other, which is the antithesis of principles. That means they're non principles. It means they're suggestive. Suggestions of subjective suggestions. The exact opposite of an objective principle. You think this is new, by the way? Oh, this is just the Trump era where leftists have been calling for violence, allowing violence, allowing violence to happen and excusing it.

I had to go back to a situation is unfortunately all too familiar with because he still resides in Maryland. Remember the Freddie Gray riots in Baltimore during the Obama administration? Of course, you know, the old liberal mayor of I mean, old that she's old and age, but older is one of the older. She's been a few major changes since then. Remember Stephanie Rawlings Blake? I know she was the mayor of Baltimore during the Freddie Gray riots, riots.

When she said this absolute absurdity. Not a joke, sadly, about giving writers room to destroy her, quote, you'll hear in a minute. I mean, not only was there no condemnation in the mainstream media. They ran cover for her. That's not what she meant. Now, that's what she said. You don't believe me? Listen to her own words.

It's a very delicate balancing act, because while we try to make sure that they were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well.

That's an actual quote. We didn't edit that, that's her actual quote. We wanted to give those in the Freddie Gray riots in Baltimore room to destroy, you had to provide space for them to. Again, these are the authority figures trying to dictate the terms of today's conversation. Who have zero principles at all trying to frighten you into submission. Folks, these next few weeks are going to be scary. The left will never, ever let a crisis go to waste, and I assure you.

The fallout from what happened yesterday, you haven't even begun to see it. All right, I've got more coming up, including Kamala Harris, AOC, a montage for you and some interesting video of a protest in a Senate building yesterday. So we'll see. All right. Next to our friends at PetSmart, who we, Lucy, has become a big fan of PetSmart. Whether she knows it or not will be all our stuff for Lucy's food, Lucy's toys.

Every Polygraphists. We don't always agree. We agree. Now, I know she's sleeping. That's such a cute dog. I love that dog.

We need a little bit of good news today. Lucy always brings good news. All right, let's move on. So again, others on the left, you now want to dictate the terms of the conversation who've actually incentivise political violence, allowed it to happen or covered for it for years now, now all of a sudden, want to take the moral high ground? No, we're not going to allow that. The moral high ground is consistently seen principles which they don't have.

Here's Kamala Harris in a Fox News article. Senator Harris, who backed the Minnesota Freedom Fund, a bail fund backed by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden staffers that bailed out alleged child abusers as docs indicate, it's an article by Tyler Olson, Fox News.com. Well, that's interesting. After the riots in Minnesota that burned down innocent people's neighborhoods and buildings and businesses, many of those people who did that committed those crimes and those acts of terrorism in those neighborhoods were bailed out, some of them by a fund Kamala Harris actively supported in a tweet that's actually still up on her Twitter account.

Joe Biden staffers reported that to. Commit crimes. What is it, don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Kamala Harris cases do the crime. Don't worry, you won't do the time will bail you right out. But again, these are the arbiters of what the appropriate perimeter of this conversation is supposed to be today. I think not. You've shown what your principles are and they're disgraceful, political violence is acceptable to you if it advances a political narrative.

It's not to me. It's never been. We're going to expose you all for what you are. And what you've done. Here's AOC, another one grasping the moral high ground as their own Twitter account at AOC. This was a while ago. She doesn't want this tweet up, by the way, she actually had someone close to her try to pressure Twitter to stop this from being retweeted. Of course, when Blenman Antifa, we're all engaged in protests and riots that advance our political cause, she was OK with it.

Matter of fact, she tweeted and I quote, The whole point of protesting is to make people uncomfortable. Activists take that discomfort with the status quo and advocate for concrete policy changes. Popular support often starts small and grows to folks who complain. Protest demands make others uncomfortable. That's the point. Making people uncomfortable is the point. All right, it's Aoki's own words. Interesting how she doesn't want that retweeted now. Of course, remember the whole peaceful protests, the show would we'd be remiss if we didn't put this in the show today.

Here is a montage by our friends at News Busters. We're going to play again of the same media people demanding Chuck Todd and the rest of the clown show, demanding that we have no say in this, despite where the US, this show and others in the conservative movement being the only ones who have actually been consistent on political violence, the only one, regardless of who doesn't. Chuck Todd and others are demanding now Chuck Todd, you know, to Chuck Todd, who I live rent free in this guy's head.

They're demanding now our voices all be silenced because they're totalitarians, that's what they do. But here's a little montage of the media when actual political violence was happening over the past year. Don't you worry, folks. Peaceful protest. Check this out. I want to be clear in how I characterize them. This is not mostly a protest. It is not. It is not, generally speaking, unruly. But fires have been started.

And the first thing I want to be perfectly clear, this has been almost entirely peaceful.

In fact, it's been a mostly peaceful protest, but then they chose to move in.

So many of these protests have been largely peaceful, mostly peaceful, mostly peaceful, mostly peaceful.

Oh, boy, oh, boy. I'm looking at those live pictures next to you. And they seem very peaceful there. Always folks on the fringes of protests to do the things that we don't we don't like a few people who break a few windows and burn a few cars.

They just threw something on fire. Chris, a firecracker fired. No one should be destructing property and that sort of thing, but I understand the anger discount people who are doing things on public property that they shouldn't be doing. It does have to be understood that this city has got for the last several years an issue with police.

So many good people out there who want change and who are demanding change. Our country was started because this is how the Boston Tea Party rioting. So don't do not get it twisted and think that, oh, this is some something that has not never happened before and this is so terrible and where are we in these savages and all of that? This is how this country was started.

Thanks news busters for that one. Principles, they had principles on this, they did sound like it sounds like them largely forgiving people for engaging in acts of political violence and now they now want to be the arbiters of truth about political violence. What about this one? A lot of you aren't going to remember this one, remember during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings when the left was losing their minds, accusing Brett Kavanaugh of gang rapes in the back of cars and things like that?

Remember those absurdities? Media wasn't interested much in the truth back then. They're not now. But the left lost their mind during that he was an occupation of a literal occupation of the ground floor of a Senate office building. You remember the big outcry in the media about this, about how order and process had broken down. Yeah, I don't either. Matter of fact, some of you probably never even seen this before, but here is the left.

You can hear him for our audio listeners in the background. You'll hear them screaming as they take over. And I'm not talking about one or two about hundreds of people. A Senate office building. Check this out. First time you're in that probably where was the media on that one about how order had broken down NetWare? But again, they're the arbiters of truth. Entirely unprincipled people. Castigating us to dare not talk about any of this because they're uncomfortable and the only people who are uncomfortable discussing the events of yesterday are people who don't have principles.

If you've been consistent on political violence. You're disturbed about all of it. Let me get to some facts to. Some facts and some stories out there that the media doesn't want you to hear that you're going to hear on this show. And I want to be crystal clear, this is reporting done by The Washington Times, a reputable outlet, and they're not suggesting in their piece that everything that happened yesterday was the result of Antifa infiltration. That's not the piece at all.

Very clear on that. Because we have liberals watching this show have a really tough time, they're not suggesting that, but the piece is pretty clear that if you put up this Washington Times headline, this story will be in the show notes. And I encourage you to read it on China.com slash newsletter. It's another story they don't want to talk about either, because it makes some people uncomfortable. Rowan Scarborough, Washington Times facial recognition firm claims Antifa infiltrated Trump protesters who stormed the capital.

It was to two people, those are the facts in the story. CITES the company. Apparently, there were two Philadelphia Antifa members. And more stories that make people uncomfortable. Well, if the facts make you uncomfortable. Maybe there's something wrong, maybe you just don't want the facts. Here's another photo that's been circulating around social media. That leftists have been putting out. This is everywhere, this photo, if you do kind of an image search, you'll see a lot of it on liberal accounts like, gosh, look at what's going on in Washington, D.C. Look at this.

And if you see if you want to watch Rumball dotcom slash Bongino, it's Washington, D.C. enflames. Some leftists have been suggesting, gosh, this is the result of these riots yesterday. Ladies, gentlemen, that photo is from the BLM riots in Washington, D.C.. That photo is not from yesterday. You see that photo? You'll probably see it on some leftist account talking about how this was yesterday, it wasn't. Sadly, folks, we've reached that never let a crisis go to waste.

And this is disgusting. Instead of solving crises in this country, now we have political parties looking to leverage crises to take away your civil liberties and liberties at serious risk. Right now, I cannot warn you in strong enough terms. The damage done yesterday. It's apocalyptic and cataclysmic when it comes to things like liberty. I'm not kidding. I had a conversation with Paula last night and I said, I hope I'm wrong, I pray I'm wrong. Are we going to see another Patriot Act now?

And which was a disaster, we're going to see increases in domestic surveillance now. They're going to use the events of yesterday. As a way to whittle away your civil liberties. You know, it was Rahm Emanuel when Barack Obama's chief lieutenants. That was his credo, we live by never let a crisis go to waste. Folks, now you understand why the truth and the facts matter, and if we're principled on this the entire time, we should have no worries at all.

But I am worried about what unprincipled people are going to do next. Let me get to my last sponsor. I want to talk about how I'm not just concerned about legislative action like a new Patriot Act, increased domestic surveillance and the whittling away of your civil liberties, like a Alka Seltzer tablet and water. There are other things that are going to happen and are happening right now, including the big tech purge. We got to fight back, we're not going to have a country left if this continues.

My folks, my last sponsor I want to thank personally, because they got me through a really rough time, my life, many of you know, I've been unfortunately, I've been dealing with chemotherapy and it causes some pretty severe nausea. So some of you saw me wearing during the show because I couldn't get through the show without this relief band right here. This is actually mine. I think it's great. Joe, the third of Americans regularly suffer from nausea.

I had it unfortunate because of the chemicals in my body. But there are other reasons to add hangovers. You just get sick sometimes. Morning sickness, migraines. That's why I'm excited about our new partner relief band. The number one FDA cleared antinausea wristband has been clinically proven, proven to quickly relieve and effectively prevent nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness, anxiety, hangovers, morning sickness, chemotherapy and so much more. It's 100 percent drug free, non non drowsy.

It provides all natural relief with zero side effects for as long as needed. Folks, you just put it on, you hit the button. Syncytial impulse through this sensor right here and you're golden. The technology was originally developed over twenty years ago in hospitals to relieve nausea from patients, but now through relief, bantz available to the masses. It works this way, it stimulates a nerve in the wrist through that little node right there. It travels to the part of the brain that controls nausea with me the minute I hit the power button.

For me, it goes away right away. Paula used it to she gets migraines. It blocks a signal, your brain sending to your stomach, telling you that you're sick. That simple relief bad is the only over-the-counter wearable device that's been used in hospitals and oncology clinics to treat nausea and vomiting. This New Year ensure nausea is never the reason to miss out on life's important moments. Right now, relief. Ben has an exclusive offer just for my listeners.

Getting back to this sad never let a crisis go to waste moment, which we really have to put behind us and we have to get into it.

Let's solve the crisis moment. Not only are our civil liberties at risk from opportunists who are going to try to whittle them away, but our ability to speak freely in the new public space, which is social media, it's the new town square. The town square used to be literally a town square where you'd walk into the town square in the revolutionary era and you go out and you'd say, hey, this is how I feel about this. And you'd get on your soapbox and people would listen.

That's Soapbox now is Twitter. Facebook. Tick tock. Snapchat parler. YouTube, rumball. But what if I told you that town square was shrinking because people with voices that don't conform to the media unprincipled narrative, I just roundly debunked they're not principled people. What if I told you those people were being kicked off? What if I told you the biggest voice in the whole thing was banned? Did you see this article? The Blaze. It'll be up in the show notes.

You probably I don't know if you missed this in all the chaos yesterday, but, you know, Twitter, like President Trump's account for 12 hours and says it may suspend him permanently. Facebook is blocked him for twenty four hours. Facebook and YouTube are also deleting videos from the president about the rioting. Ladies and gentlemen, the totalitarianism. It's real. It's right here, right now, it's incentivized by media totalitarians and it's getting worse. This is not a joke.

These are not principled people. Ladies and gentlemen, the president put out a speech yesterday. You can agree or disagree with the content, but ask people to, quote, go home. Put out another tweet telling them that the Capitol Police should that they are on our side here. Twitter apparently didn't like that. So Twitter shut down the town council where Chinese Communist Party, Soviet Union style, because that's who they are. That's who Facebook is to.

And I'm warning you and sadly, here's the bad news. You heard it here. First, I'm warning you, this is going to get worse. The purge on Twitter and Facebook will continue. I am actively involved, as you know, with an alternative platform Parler or our Eliab, by the way, not Elermore. I strongly suggest you set up an account. You may find yourself a man without a social media soapbox or island if you don't.

I am an investor there, disclosure, but I did it for ideological reasons. About the money, I didn't have any idea. The company is going to be worth anything when I got involved. This is going to get worse. We're going to find yourself platform free really soon. Why is the media terrified? Why is the media's obvious totalitarian streak in conjunction with liberals who have always been totalitarian? That's what they are. Why is it coming out now?

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's because they're losing control of the town square. The town square, again, if we could use an old revolutionary era analogy, is it was exactly that a square in the middle of town where you'd go out, you'd stand on your soapbox and you'd say, hear ye, hear ye and say what you want to say. The new way to get your message out now, of course, which is democratize the ability to speak to people by the thousands is social media.

For people like me, by the millions, I don't need a distribution channel anymore, please. This is an important moment to get this Washington Times article in minute, which will be on my show. It's a very important article. I want you to be clear what's driving the media crazy and is increasing their already growing and being fertilized by the de totalitarian street, what's driving them nuts is the media used to own the distribution channels. The distribution channels for information are the public square.

What do you mean distribution channel, they would own actual TV channels. In the 60s and 70s, Joe degrees a little older than me if Cronkite Brokaw. Jenning's. And others didn't talk about it on the nightly news. It didn't happen, bingo. Oh, it happened. Right. But you just didn't know about it. Then we had cable news and other distribution channels outside of ABC, the Big Three, NBC and CBS appeared. First, you had CNN, which parroted what ABC, CBS and and the other what were ABC, CBS and NBC were saying?

But then you had Fox News and you had another distribution channel, all of a sudden a fair and balanced approach, the use, their motto started to surface. But even Fox News on the distribution channel. Those distribution channels are voices and are the town square. But that's breaking down to. With the advent of social media, parler, rumball and other alternative platforms. You're the distribution channel now. You don't need cable, you don't need TV, and you certainly don't need Walter Cronkite.

Or his successors. Look at this article in The Washington Times, it's fascinating. It's about Fox News and some of the competitors, but it's more than that says, well, the streaming revolution overthrow Fox News and mainstream media in twenty twenty one. By Gabe Kominsky, It's worth your time. I'll put it up in the show notes. I'm not just putting my name is in there, it's not why I'm posting the article, hey, look at me.

It's nothing to do with that, I promise. But I talk about my show. And how the digital revolution has created distribution channels everywhere. You stomp one person, reappears in a different public square, later, snuff Dan Bongino out on YouTube where they monetize their videos all the time. I just moved to rumble where we don't discriminate based on ideology. Reduce my distribution on Facebook. I'll put the videos on Rumball, reduce my distribution on Twitter. I'll just put my information on parler.

They're trying to whack a mole and they just can't do it because they can't whack a mole distribution channels when you're the distribution channel and you have multiple vehicles to put your information out there and it's driving them wild and it's only fueling their totalitarian streak and making them more frustrated that they can't stop you from speaking. They won't. They won't. I haven't done the flip in a while, going to forego the drama today, given the circumstances yesterday. But this is the final segment of the show, but it's an important one.

I just left you with two warnings, the media's totalitarian streak will increase. Be very concerned about new Patriot Act type material legislation and be very concerned about what's happening in social media and the suppression of the town square. But these next two weeks, ladies and gentlemen, have the potential to get very ugly. And to get very ugly, very fast. What do I mean? Well, here's a tweet by Ellen Ohmar calling for a quickie impeachment. She's going to file articles.

Ladies and gentlemen, do not do not scoff at this. Al Hunt, Omar. Quote, I'm drawing up articles of impeachment, Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives and removed from office by the U.S. Senate. We can't allow him to remain in office. It's a matter of preserving a republic and we need to fulfill our oath. Typically, anything tweeted by Ellen Ohmar, who shown herself to be a radical, delusional leftist, you can usually disregard as the rantings of someone not exactly level headed.

But you should take this very seriously. They're terrified Trump could run again in 2024. Why do you think they would push for a quickie impeachment? Why do you think they do that? Maybe to close off and wall off that opportunity. Don't scoff at it. They're not going to do that, really. These are the same people who, again, I just played entire montages who totally dismiss political violence when they thought it would hurt them politically, but now that they think they can use it to their advantage, they're all about running through the tape with this.

Here's another thing you need to be worried about in the coming weeks, and I had this conversation with someone very close yesterday. The administration. Better keep your eyes on this one, don't dismiss and I see some people even on the right dismissing side, there's no serious talk about this. I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand. I don't trust anybody anymore. Slate. Left leaning out, but far left, it's time for the Twenty Fifth Amendment. We can't afford two more weeks of Trump.

This is the fastest and easiest way to be rid of him. Oh, here we go just now, Facebook bans Trump's account indefinitely. I'll get the 25th Amendment, the second. Here's one more Rick Klein, who I. I know, Rick, from back in the day, I always thought him to be a relatively levelheaded guy. Look at this tweet. This is insane. Trump will be an ex-president 13 days. The fact is that getting rid of Trump is the easy part.

Cleansing the movement he commands is going to be something else. Clent cleansing. We're using the term cleansing now is a smart guy, replace that stupid. We're using the term we're really going down that road now, man, cleansing the movement. Just go to any search engine and put in cleansing the movement, just don't have your kids look at it when you see what comes up. It's a quick note on the 25th Amendment. What is it what does it do if the current vice president, a majority of the cabinet?

Deem the president physically or mentally unable to perform the duties of the presidency. The vice president becomes the president, the United States would be pince. So really, that's all that has to happen while it gets a little more detail than that, the president can object, which of course he would President Trump. The president does object to this and say that's not true, I am physically and mentally capable of performing my job, then the vice president in the cabinet have four days to transmit their request that the president be basically removed from power because he's physically, mentally, mentally unable to Congress.

Two thirds of both houses of the Congress then have to vote on it, if they do, the vice president becomes the president. The president is, in fact, removed from power. For physical and mental incapacitation. Oh, damn, we shouldn't be talking about these these are conspiracy theories, are they? We're in a dangerous time, folks. A really dangerous time. Here's hopefully a. Small, positive note. Again, there's a lot of hyperbole on Twitter today and dramatic, overly dramatic stuff talking about this was yesterday was the worst day in human history.

But it was bad. It was bad. Pirrie is really bad. It's not the worst day in human history. We've had Pearl Harbor, we've had in Tetum was not the worst day in human history, was a bad day I hope we can all learn from and I hope there's a lot of. Introspection going on with everyone. But we're still the United States of America. Not here to give you hoorah speeches and tell you to ignore anything that happened or to just forget about, oh, just let's let all the election abnormalities go.

No, I'm not letting any of that go. We had an election with unbelievably suspect behavior, and we better damn well fix it. But it was not the worst day in American history. It wasn't even in the top 10. Worst days in American history, it was a really, really awful day. But we're a great country. We have a pathway forward. I discussed it yesterday. We have states and counties within states where people actually respect the Constitution and everyone's God given right to assemble peaceably, to defend themselves, to practice their religion.

You still have those places here. And for as awful as everything was yesterday in Washington, D.C.. You know what, ladies and gentlemen, I live down here in Florida. And I'm not kidding when I tell you this, my daughter came home from school and didn't even know what had happened till she saw it on the news. That didn't happen with 9/11 and Tetum, Pearl Harbor. I told her what happened because I want her to learn from it to.

You can never, ever, ever normalize political violence, ever has to be called out everywhere. It is not a strategy, it is the it's it's actual evidence of the breakdown of strategy, law and order, and without law and order, the republic is meaningless. We can keep it the republic, as our founding fathers warned, we can keep it, we'll get through this. Thanks for tuning in. I really appreciate it. I'll see you tomorrow.

You just heard Dan Bongino.
