Right Joe. Let's go. Ding ding. So ladies and gentlemen, on this Georgia thing, we have an important election today. Please go out and vote Republican again. As I've said often in these two Senate elections, Republicans are not the answer to all of your problems. Period. Full stop. However, the cause of all of your problems are, in fact, the Democrats. So given the choice of two, particularly, I don't want to say evils, but one evil and one may be not so good.

Take the not so good over the evil. I'm really sorry. That's the way the world works. I wish it was better. I wish everything wasn't on the margin and there were simple black and white answers. But if there were, the entire field of ethics wouldn't exist. There are very few black and white answers in the world. Very few. Please go out and vote Lefler and Perdue to prevent the Democrats from destroying the country tomorrow. Getting back to Georgia.

So yesterday we did a very well received show based on the online, that's a great part of our podcast. You can tell right away digital downloads and stuff. Bank who like the show and who did and who was listening, who wasn't yesterday showed the great numbers because we covered all of the malfeasance out of Georgia now. The president Trump had a conversation that was recorded apparently somewhat surreptitiously by Georgia officials, the conversation with the secretary of state and his attorney from Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, was leaked to the media.

We covered it yesterday. I think the recorded call, when you listen to it in its totality, was more damaging to Raffensperger, the secretary of state of Georgia, than it was at all to President Trump. I covered the media spin, but Raffensperger responded yesterday in the media. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, this guy is a public official open to scrutiny. This man's a snake. Is snake. I told you yesterday, because I don't get out in front of stories when I don't know the answers, I try to give you both sides that I wasn't sure who leaked the tape.

And I was candid about it yesterday, was I not, Joe? Because I thought I thought the tape was so damaging to Raffensperger and his lawyer. That I wasn't honestly sure who leaked the tape. Was it the Trump team or Raffensperger? Now it's become clear because Raffensperger thought he had something on Donald Trump, President Trump in a tape that he leaked. Check out this video of Secretary of State from Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, on with some local news outlet where I didn't know this.

I didn't know when you have a conversation that's supposed to be confidential with a state official about disputed election results, that you had to agree with them not to publish the conversation to the media showed, you know, that when we have just Armacost, just pretty sure this is very important for the listening audience here. This is critical when I talk to you on the phone about the show. Do we have to make an agreement beforehand that I won't publish our conversation to media people if you or I say something that's kind of damaging?

Do we do we do that just checking? No, maybe we should start, but no, we don't. OK, OK, thank you. I'm just checking. I'm just checking. So there's no way that we don't because Joe and I understand that when we talk on the phone, because Joe's not a snake and neither am I, that it's a conversation between Dan and Joe. And it's not meant for The Washington Post, ladies and gentlemen. Don't call Brad Raffensperger.

No, I'm dead serious. Do not call this guy ever. Because if you don't have an agreement beforehand that he won't publish it to The Washington Post, apparently it's open season. Listen to this snake. Try to defend himself. Why? He kind of implicitly acknowledges that his office leaked the tape. Check this out.

If the president hadn't tweeted and tweeted something that was false, would we have ever heard that call recording?

No, it was a private conversation as far as I was concerned. And he broke privacy. What? He put out a tweet, but then his tweet was false.

Was there any agreement that this call was not going to be recorded or would be kept confidential? No, there was no agreement and we didn't know what the purpose of the call really was. We assumed it was about the November election, really Wednesday. President Trump wouldn't have tweeted out anything and would have stayed silent. We would have stayed silent as well. And that would have just been a conversation between him and I, man to man, and that would have been just fine with us.

But he's the one that couldn't, you know, had to put it out on Twitter.

And so if you're going to put out stuff that we don't believe is true, that we will respond in kind of this guy, if there were I mean, this may be the greatest cell phone for those of you not on social media. Cell phone is when you say something you think is like really laudatory based on and really you make yourself look like a buffoon. Brad Raffensperger is now the king of the cell phone. He thinks this interview makes him look good.

So just to be clear, if you talk to Brad Raffensperger and there's a dispute about what was said in the conversation, if you don't stay silent, they're going to The Washington Post and putting it out there. Just to be clear, in case you ever have a conversation with Raffensperger again. Hey, Joe, here's what I'm doing. I don't know about you, but tell me if you agree with this approach, if you are any human being, having a conversation with this this snake Raffensperger, he's a public official.

He's this man is open to scrutiny, OK? He's the secretary of state of Georgia. If you have any dispute with him, I, I would I'd have to frisk him first. I mean, ask him you don't want to be accused of, like, assault by Raffensperger, obviously. But I would ask him, sir, can I pat you down first for any conversation? Is he recording this? Is he going to give it to The Washington Post after you're done patting him down?

And by the way, if you want to know how to pat people down, I was an instructor in our academy. What you do is you don't do the actual pat. What you want to do is you want to, like, move in grass to make sure you see because you can miss things on a pat. There could be a wire, maybe the old and whatever they called the nagara recording devices for you all time federal agents out there.

That's before we had all this fancy recording. Just put it on a phone. Now, I would ask for his phone, put it on airplane mode and power it down. Also, I would ask him to wear a bathing suit and talk to him in a swimming pool in case he's hiding a device in the sensitive areas. You can't pat down Joe. And I would also have a lawyer draw up a an ironclad NDA and an agreement to make sure any conversation with Raffensperger, because if you don't stay silent, apparently he can record and put anything out there.

What do you think, Joe? You think that would cover? So would hope the pat that the run into the grasp and run pat down to frisk to make sure he doesn't have a device, ask him to go in a bathing suit, talk to him in a pool way. Stop. It's OK. So he's not hiding anything down there. Make sure his phone is in airplane mode and shut off and then make sure what Raffensperger is while you get an ironclad NDA, because when you talk to Raffensperger.

He apparently believes if you don't stay silent and shut your pie hole, that this snake from Georgia, he can just leak the conversation. What an absolute buffoon of the highest order, and it's the election in Georgia today. We shouldn't be talking about that. I talk about whatever I want. No one I've just said to you, please go out and vote. And this guy has nothing to do with the two candidates running for US Senate who've already already pledged to object on January six, Loffler and Pardoo.

That's a different situation. This guy deserves to be called out right now. He's a snake. He's a snake. Now, when this guy started to get crushed on social media and online for being the snake that he has, you don't stay silent. I'm going to release the tapes I recorded of you without telling you. Oh, and look out. What a cell phone. What an idiot. You don't like it either. I know why she doesn't like it, because it's happened to us.

That's why, candidly, folks are very sorry if I don't answer my phone ever, I know it's I don't. And if you've ever emailed me, it's why I had to stop answering emails back. Because, you know, it's very hard to trust anyone anymore. So Raffensperger appeared on Fox News yesterday with Martha MacCallum. And if he's so proud of what he did, right, Joe, he recorded the president, he got the truth out that the truth only truth you got out there is you're a buffoon in the hour long call.

You didn't know anything about anything, right? You just kept saying what the president says is not true. And then when the president asked you for the information, you kept citing privacy laws to not turning it over. Even after they offered you an NDA. So he's off with Martha MacCallum, and I think he's started to realize all of a sudden that he looks like the snake and buffoon he is. So now all of a sudden, he's not so proud that he implicitly acknowledged that they released the tape.

So listen to Martha MacCallum, who kind of held his feet to the fire, saying, hey, Brad, Brad, Brad. Hey, buddy. Did you release that tape? Kind of not cool, you know, and listen to him doing Beaver Face.

Chuck Todd from yesterday. Check this out.

You can see what he said on Saturday and say the release of the phone call. Did you did you say, OK, let's go ahead and release the audio of the phone call?

The information's out there and it is what it is. That's not an answer to my question.

Are you going to answer my question? Did you were you aware of the decision and were you in favor of the decision to release the phone call, sir? I think that we had to be sworn to the president's Twitter and we responded with the facts that were in the call, what?

What a what a complete idiot, so you couldn't risk. Not happy today, folks. Not happy. He's the Georgia secretary of state, I'm in the media business now. He is probably one of the most in demand guests. For every media channel out there of. Producer Joe was in the media business, Joe was in the radio for a long time. Joe, wouldn't you agree, given the dispute going on about the Georgia presidential election result, that this would be and a tier one, a level guest right now?

Yep. Would you stipulate that then if you were back at your old radio station, this would be a great get right? No matter what kind of a buffoon this guy is, it would be an a level guest to get him on the air. So you're suggesting to me your only avenue, despite your email box. I can guarantee you being loaded with requests to appear on the biggest media stations in the world, that your only avenue to combat what you perceive as President Trump's misinformation fight.

You can get your point out, I'm open to it. Your only avenue was to leak a tape of a recording because he wouldn't stay silent. And you think this makes you look good? I'm just checking. Ratzenberger, I'm just checking, you think this makes you look good. Listen, ladies and gentlemen. I am a supporter of the president. It's not a secret, but I try my best sometimes well, sometimes not to be objective about material he puts out.

I'm telling you, if you're Brad Ratzenberger right now and you think this makes you look good. You are dumber than I thought Paula asked me yesterday watching this, I'm not joking on that on the couch. She's sitting there, she says. Why is he doing this? Honestly, folks, I just don't think he's that bright. He is a public official, open to scrutiny. He can attack me right back, if you'd like. I'm open to it.

Go right ahead. You want to come on the show? You're welcome on the show. But just to be clear, you had every single media avenue open to you. You decided to leak a tape. You then backed away from leaking the tape. And your answer about why you leaked the tape to Martha MacCallum is it is what it is. If it is. What a complete buffoon. All right, moving on, so I want to get the project for folks, please do not go anywhere for this coronavirus story.

I got goosebumps going through it. I was worried last night because of the Georgia election today, we're not going to have enough material for the show. I was because yesterday show we were like, oh, this coronavirus story is insane. Let me get this Project Veritas video first. James O'Keefe strikes again. This is some undercover video him and his organization, Project Veritas, recorded out of Georgia. This is astonishing. This about a minute cut. You can find that a James O'Keefe is social media feeds and Project Veritas, the social media feeds as well.

This is a woman talking to another woman in some undercover recorded video where apparently she appears to acknowledge here and again, these are allegations. We'll wait to hear her response. That there are Georgia voters who've been registered all at one common location and address in violation of Georgia law. The video goes on at the end. We can't play the whole thing because, you know, in the interest of time with a guy at the end on tape and again, all allegations will put that out there.

But a guy on tape at the end acknowledging that or says at one point that some of these voters may be dead. So just to be clear, in Georgia, you have to register at your residence. You can't register at another address. That's not your residence. That's the law. Check this video out. This is just stunning stuff.

So the majority of the people we serve don't have an address. So we allow them to use our address if they register to vote and to get Georgia's state anti.

Because you mean you have to have proof of residence, and so although we're not a shelter, we do allow them to use to one Washington street. So I can't even begin to tell you how many people have that address on their I.D. And we we've never run into any problem with that until this election. And one of our board members got wind that they thought we were doing things not on the up and up because so many people have to address. But we've not heard any repercussion from it since.

So but it's just a way I mean, people have to have an address and. Yeah, yeah. That's the only way they can get I.D., which you've got to have to do anything else is to have an address. So we allow that. We've done that for years. I mean. If you didn't see the video, go to my video, the video version, my show Rumbled Bongino, it's all free. You can subscribe there, but please watch the video of the audio we just played.

It's important. Because when you hear that music playing in the background, what's rolling in the background? Is a spreadsheet looking document of all the people registered to this address and what Washington Street or sum that this woman is talking about on the 10. That would be a violation of Georgia law, but again, I don't worry, Brad Redfin's Bergesen, Acho Joe Raffensperger on it, the secretary of state who seems more concerned about attacking President Trump rather than addressing the problems we've had in Georgia.

I'm sure Brad will have some snarky comeback. Probably say, well, they recorded the video project further so I could record it there. That would be his comeback. By the way, the media is not interested in any of this stuff. The media loves the fact that Raffensperger recorded this video and his team and put it out. But when Project Veritas puts a video out, undercover video, they get no one's interested or you won't see this video in the mainstream media anywhere.

All right, let me get to my second sponsor and this coronavirus that we're going to get right into it. All right.

So, producer, Joe, do you remember when back in April and May of twenty twenty, you remember when people like Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump started talking about this conspiracy theory that the virus, the coronavirus may have leaked out of a woman? Remember that? Yeah. Yeah. And as a producer, you remember how how dangerous we talked about it anyway, because we really don't care what anybody does at screwtop or anywhere else. But remember how dangerous it was to talk about that because outlets like Screw Tube and Twitter and elsewhere said this is coronavirus misinformation.

We will censor this. Remember? Remember, I sure. Yeah. Yeah, of course you do. So let's go through a little timeline of how God forbid, you mention the coronavirus may have escaped from Wuhan, China lab. You are a Catholic right away by morons in the media. And you were only because Donald Trump and conservative media had started asking questions if it were liberals who had started asking questions about where coronavirus came from and if it leaked from the Wuhan lab, it would have been celebrated.

But of course, liberals didn't ask it because Donald Trump said it so automatically. What is the liberal media do? Any time Donald Trump says something, the liberal media has to come out, show their butts and say the opposite is true, even if they don't know it because the media is a Pravda like Soviet. Do you have the Soviet national anthem? I'm sorry. No, we we played a couple of.

Do you have that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I'm looking for. I'm looking for. Tell me when because I you. OK, wait, wait. Tell me when you're ready. I'm ok. You've got to do a count. The media newsrooms in the morning. Three to one.

Well, there we go. Every morning, everybody in the media newsrooms I know we played to do I don't like to wear this stuff out, but I'm very sad every morning.

God forbid you ask questions. If you ask questions that make Trump look bad, however, like is the real deal, entertain that forever. Here you go. So let's go through a timeline of media malfeasance on the coronavirus and the Wuhan lab conspiracy theory. Here's Tucker Carlson. First, right around April or so on Fox News starting to ask questions about, hey, where the hell is this coronavirus come from? And he was destroyed by media lunatics and conspiracy theories.

Check this out.

Here's what the paper says. First, the scientists confirm what scientists around the world have said. They believe the virus most likely came from an animal known as the intermediate horseshoe bat. Here's the striking thing. There are no known colonies of this bat within nine hundred kilometers of Luhan, nor is there any evidence that they were sold in the Suhan wet market, despite many claims in the American media to the contrary, including on this show. By the way, last night we did a segment on wet markets, the one in Wuhan included, and suggested that this bat was sold there.

But let's be clear, the only actual analysis of that question that we're aware of is in this paper, these scientists interviewed almost 60 people. Fifty nine of them who frequented the Wuhan wet market. They confirmed there were no horseshoe bats for sale there, period. So that raises the question, where did the virus carrying bats come from? And the paper says this, quote, We screened the area around the market and identified two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus.

Within a few hundred yards of the wet market was something called the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention. According to public reports, the center used intermediate horseshoe bats for research. Then about seven miles away was another facility. This one, it was called the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The Virology Institute also conducted research on intermediate horseshoe bats, the ones that were not sold at the wet market, South China University. Scientists concluded that the coronavirus pandemic, the one that people are dying from here, likely came from one of these two government labs in Wuhan.

What about that report in April of twenty, twenty, almost a year ago now, what about that was was crazy pills time or conspiracy theory? So what what about that? There's a deadly virus we know originated in Wuhan, China. Scientists believe it originated in a horseshoe bat. There are no known colonies of horseshoe bats in that area of China and conveniently, Joe, there's a virology lab right there in Wuhan, China, that studies the types of viruses.

Oh, my gosh, we're all lunatics for asking these questions. But of course, because Tucker Carlson and later Donald Trump talked about it, the Pravda media saluting their communist masters, boasting that both in the Soviet Union and China now, because they're wholly owned at this point by China, they jumped the right to the defense of China and everyone else. Unforgivable. You don't believe me, look. The Guardian pounces right away. Trump fans, flames of Chinese lab coronavirus theory during daily briefing.

What are they talking about? Instead of actually doing journalism, know Ming. I thought you were a journalist and asking questions like, hey, that sounds really weird. We've got this deadly virus originates from an area of China with a bat population that doesn't exist there, but they study bats and viruses in a viral lab in China that does exist there. Gosh, that sounds crazy. Maybe we should really get to the bottom of that, the worst expression in human history.

But what happened? Donald Trump again dared to mention it. So the media had a pounce and take the alternate view just to make Trump look bad. Here's Trump at a press conference answering a question about it. And after Tucker Carlson mentioned that, was it the media one of problems? Check this out.

That gives you a high degree of confidence that the Wunan Institute of Virology was the origin of this virus. Yes. Yes, I have.

And I think that the World Health Organization should be ashamed of themselves because they like the public relations agency for China.

Dr.. So a couple of things come out there, President Trump, who I would just guess, you know, given my prior line of work that the president may have access to some information, the media doesn't have a. But just throwing that out there. Joe, can I can I get can I get a woman on that? Hey, woman, thank you. Yeah, I would just guess the. The president probably has access to some information the media doesn't have, so he says two things there.

He's asked, do you believe that this virus may have originated in this lab in Muhanna, some iteration of that? He says, yes, yes, I do. Of course, setting off alarm bells in the media, in a normal media, they'd say, oh, my gosh, maybe we should start investigating this. That's not what happened in the media. They went back back to their PROV the newsroom said, how do we make Trump look bad?

And secondly, he says. And by the way, that's all we really got to look into what's going on over there, they're kind of crap to. Of course, he was mocked immediately and the media pounced to their Chinese masters and automatically had to rather than investigate a story that sounds perfectly logical by the press, the United States and Tucker Carlson and their investigative reporting and intelligence dissemination, which the president was disseminating some form of intelligence by saying that.

Instead of doing their homework, they had to pounce to the defense of the Chinese. Yeah, that's right. Here's 60 Minutes and I want you to pay attention, because that Trump presser was right around the end of April, May 1st. I don't know the exact date. I'm sorry I was running out of time this morning, but this is the 60 Minutes episode that airs just a week after that. So 60 Minutes, I'm guessing, in their newsroom, Joe, they're like, listen, President Trump and Tucker Carlson both laid out a case that the coronavirus may have originated in a lab in China.

What do we do? Well, let's run a story that it didn't get, but maybe we should look at that. Come on, guys, stop the nonsense. This isn't journalism. We're Soviets. Let's just run a story saying it's not true. Let's just find someone who says it isn't true. So 60 Minutes found this guy immediately pounces. And their goal, of course, is to cover this whole thing up for China to make President Trump look bad.

Check this out.

Is there a way to know that this virus sars-cov-2 emerge from the wild into the human population, or has that not been proven yet?

Well, I'm a scientist. And what I do is I look at the evidence around a hypothesis. There is a huge amount of evidence that these viruses repeatedly emerge into people from wild animals in rural areas through things like hunting and eating wildlife. There is zero evidence that this virus came out of a lab in China.

Does the Wuhan Institute of Virology, to your knowledge, have this virus in its inventory? No. Why do you say so?

The closest known relative is one that's different enough that it is not sars-cov-2. So there's just no evidence that anybody had it in the lab anywhere in the world prior to the outbreak.

But not no evidence. Nothing to worry about. Everybody just looking. I didn't even realize. Oh, by the way, folks, this is a somewhat set of modeling. I didn't realize that was even in the picture. I'm not even kidding. Thank you to the Butterly dude who sent them, you know, the modeling. So, Joe, we have an actual Muttley now to go along with your Muttley. I could not even really thank you for making an appearance during the show.

No evidence. There's no evidence whatsoever. Despite the fact that Tucker Carlson just laid out that segment, by the way, is five minutes long. We only played about a minute and a half of it, laid out how an actual scientist had discussed how it would be almost impossible for these for this virus to have leaked out of the wet market and most likely came from a lab. I call that evidence. But no, no, the scientist says there's no evidence, none.

So let's get to the evidence, I'm going to use the Daily Caller report because I prefer to give them the clicks because they're a really terrific website. This story's in the show, notes I if if there was ever an eye opener story we had during the show.

Oh, this is it. Paul is going to like this because she kind of loves like investigative law and order type stuff where you can like that, get into the show and they dig in. This piece is amazing. It's up at the show notes. My newsletter is the show, notes Mancino dotcom newsletter. Dillane Housemen Daily Caller. Did Coronavirus come from a lab 10 key takeaways from a shocking new report. I encourage you to read this whole piece, but I'm going to walk through for you some devastating tidbits of material and a new story by The New Yorker that The Daily Caller is covering, indicating that what this scientist said, that there was no, quote, no evidence it came from a lab.

May not be exactly framing it the right way. So let's start a little bit from the beginning here in this Daily Caller, because what does Anthony Fauci? The golden calf of the left, Dr. Anthony Fauci, you can never question and what does he have to do with any of this? Well, let's check out screenshot number one from the Daily Caller's coverage of that piece. Anthony Fauci was directly involved in programs that funded SARS mutation research, huh?

These are quotes, by the way, in the early 2000s, Dr. Anthony Fauci, America's top infectious disease expert, reportedly shifted his focus from AIDS vaccines to combating biological warfare. Hmm, that's fascinating. Really weird. By 2003, his anti-terrorism budget at the National Institutes of Health had reached nearly two billion dollars. A significant chunk of this funding and NIH research want to genetically modified certain pathogens, both in search of vaccines and to investigate their possible use as bio weapons.

Huh? And. Let me get to some more screenshots, but in the interest of time here, so Dr. Fouche, he's involved with the research of vaccines and mutating vaccines that could be used as potential bio weapons. I thought this was all a crazy conspiracy. Theory stuff. Apparently, some scientists were very concerned about what they call gain of function on viruses. In other words, where we alter viruses to make them more infectious, that sounds kind of like a bad idea.

No. But there are some people to be fair, with the opposing idea that, well, if we can mutate that, mutate them to make them more infectious, like a country doesn't have our interests in mind, China or others that could turn that into a bioweapon, then maybe we can learn about these mutations and head off a possible pandemic. OK, I'm just giving you both sides. You be the judge if you think that's a smart idea or not intentionally mutating viruses, you're all smart people.

You can figure it out on your own. Personally, I think it's a really bad idea. Foushee apparently disagreed with the scientists who thought this gain of function, in other words, making viruses more infectious and powerful to study them. She disagreed with the scientists who said, hey, Dr. Fouche, I'm not really digging that Chile man that don't sound like a good idea, Foushee disagreed. And apparently we sent some National Institutes of Health money where no way not to Wuhan has, of course, the Wuhan.

But there's no evidence. There's no evidence. And of course, all of this is made up. The New Yorker and The Daily Caller are just making it all up. Right, folks?

You may say the story gets worse. Of course it does. I have three more screenshots. So we're just at the beginning. We're mutating viruses with our taxpayer money, we're sending that money to Wuhan. Gosh, that sounds really stupid. So who exactly pay you played a role. In funding this one lab and incentivized. Well, let's go to screenshot number two where the story gets even more interesting, yet more players coming in this.

Quote Daily Caller. The research lab at the center of the pandemic and Wuhan, China, is their only level for biomedical research facility received funding from the United States. Hmm, fascinating. The essay reports she's Ang Lee, China's bat woman expert on diseases carried by flying animals, had some of her work funded by the NIH and the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency. So we're funding the bat woman in China. That's the really interesting funding for she was she she got funding for I'm not misusing prizes, not in a woman's situation.

That's her name. Funding for she was secured through grants for those two organizations with the help of a nonprofit called Eco Health. OK, so Eco Health wanted this funding to go through. The head of eco health is Peter Damasak, who allegedly played an instrumental role in directing our NIH funds to She's Wu Hanlan. OK, never heard that name before, Peter Dasch, I guess. Really fascinating was Peter Dasheng. Well, he reappears again. Later on, when media outlets, of course, want to debunk the story about the coronavirus emanating from the human lab, why do they wanted the bunker?

Because Trump said it and China are their media masters. Of course they are communists, after all. I mean, we just played the Soviet national anthem, which, of course, every media person like Brian Stelter and Chuck Todd wakes up to the word salutes. You know how that goes. So let's go to screenshot number three where we see Peter Darshak, whose organization apparently wanted this funding to happen. He reappears again. Check this out again, this they're reporting now, I have never heard of this guy.

In February of twenty twenty, many media outlets cited a statement in The Lancet signed by 27 scientists, this is a joke condemning quote. I wonder if they said it this way to conspiracy theories suggesting that covid-19 does not have a natural origin. These are scientists and now you wonder why nobody believes any institutions and authority figures anymore. Now you wonder to keep that up. Twenty seven scientists condemned conspiracy theories about covid-19 emanating from a lab giant. These are scientists, the statements organizer back to the quote from the piece statements organizer was allegedly the aforementioned affirmance.

Peter Darshak, who'd been working directly with the U.S. scientists in question for years, funneling them NIH money to support their work.

Does this mean there's a big conspiracy? No, it doesn't mean that. But does this mean, as the 60 Minutes scientist said, there's no evidence whatsoever, no evidence that this could have been some intentionally mutated virus that leak? Well, I would suggest that this is called evidence. Is it dispositive? Does it mean all these people are guilty of something? It doesn't mean that. But this is what I would call evidence. Foushee supported a program disagreeing with other scientists that mutated viruses and sent money to woo ha!

That money was supported by a group called Eco Health and a man named Peter Darshak. Media outlets then seeking to debunk that the coronavirus came from a lab. Media outlets and did it and a lot and some of this was organized by Darshak. The same guy wanted the funding for the one lab. Let's go to the last screen shot like this gets worse. Of course, that always gets worse. I wouldn't have more screenshot from the daily call. Please read the whole thing to my show notes today.

One of the scientists working on the disease mutation research was University of North Carolina's Dr. Ralph Baric. Barak and his team filed for a patent in 2006 for a seamless no CMF. That's a quote, by the way, method which allowed them to clone the entire deadly SARS virus that emerged from Chinese bats in 2002. Here's where it gets interesting, folks. Their method allegedly showed no signs of human intervention. And made it so nobody could tell if the virus was natural or lab grown.

Barack and Xi from the Wuhan Institute of Virology reportedly began collaborating on Batta to human coronaviruses. In 2015. But why? So where our taxpayer money is funding research into intentionally mutating viruses to make them more infectious, again, you can make your own adult decisions. The purpose was to study them if you think that's a good idea or a bad idea. But we we know, according to reporting, that these allegations are out there and are credible. We funded some of this in China.

We funded the bat lady, she Sagi. The bat lady in China who was their expert in bat viruses and that sort of stuff. The bat lady in China worked with another researcher who patented a technology that allegedly can basically disguise if the virus was cloned by humans or had a natural origin. Uh. I'm sure this show today will be taken down by screwtop, you know, I don't care at all. It's only a matter of time before Facebook and YouTube and Twitter.

Others banned my account because, you know, God forbid we do actual journalism and they are, in fact, Soviet's. But that's OK. I just really don't care. That's why I do my videos on Rumball because I just don't care and there's nothing screwtop can do to me. But I'm sure this will be censored because their Chinese overlords will probably demand it. Remember, it's his big tech companies that worked with the Chinese communists to make sure that the Internet can't flow freely into China.

They do that. They help there. You know that, right? Repeal 230, section 230. Changed my mind on. Done, it's finished, we got to rewrite the whole thing. All right, let me get to my last sponsor and then I have to get to I told you I would give the rebuttal because, again, unlike fake news specialists in the Pravda media. I give you both sides, I covered Georgia yesterday, State Farm Arena, and a lot of the things I thought were suspicious about what happened with vote counting on Georgia for the presidential election.

I'm going to give you Gabriel Sterling, an election official from Georgia's rebuttal on State Farm. And I'm going to tell you again why I don't think it's a sincere rebuttal about very specific points. Some I think he addressed. And some I think he addressed to my satisfaction, maybe not to yours, and that's fair, but others he didn't. And he was, of course, very smarmy about it. He's probably friends with Rattenberg. All right. Let me get to my last sponsor today, our friends at Rakan.

So here is Gabriel Sterling. He gave a press conference yesterday. This is an official from Georgia who's involved with the Elections Board of Elections. All that he gave this presser yesterday was covered live on most media channels and he addressed some of the allegations about what happened in Georgia. And like I said, some to my satisfaction, some not. Some of this stuff he kept repeating, though, are talking points that no one else is repeating credibly as like the suitcase.

Who cares about the suitcases, the ballots that were taken from under the table? It was a ballot box grade point stipulated. Who cares? The point isn't the box they were in is why were they under the table and counted after election observers left. But he keeps harping on like a ridiculous cities to make the overall point seem crazy. So here he starts talking about. State Farm arena, the video we showed you yesterday of the counting when election observers had left and ballots that were removed from under the table, which understandably a lot of people are like, hey, we got video of this.

Why did that happen? But notice, he never really addresses the why of the official stop counting at ten, twenty five at night on election night. Oh, well, they were they retired in a largely Democrat county, Fulton County, you just decided on election night to randomly stop counting election observers leave and then you start counting again. Notice how he handles this and makes you all try to sound stupid by asking a basic quip. But he never addresses the real issue.

What the hell did they stop counting for on election night? They keep counting. Check this out. There are monitors in the room, there is press in the room. They take the ballots that have been opened, put them in carrier trays and put them in there and then put them in the boxes, put the lid on the lid, matches the box. And then you see at one point during the video, a woman crawling on the floor putting the numbered seals on him so they can keep the chain of custody approximately 10, 20, five, 10, 30.

The secretary in our office receives word that Fulton County is shutting down for the night at a state farm marina. So as some of you who are there on election agriculture, the secretary got a little irritated with this and made his feelings quite known. They said some of us and we be working through the night. We're glad to see that Fulton County sees a need to just go ahead and knock off for the evening.

So Chris Harvey, our elections director and calls Rick Baron, the election director, Fulton County, who is at the other location, which was their English street warehouse, because he was doing Election Day activities. Chris calls Rick. Rick says we're not shutting down while Chris says, looks like you are. So then you can go back to the videotape and see Ralph Jones take a phone call of approximately almost eleven o'clock. And you can see his shoulders kind of shrug.

He takes the phone call, he's being told that point by his boss, Rick Barron. You need to stay and continue to scan I again.

I gave I gave you the rebuttal. I'm giving you both sides. I don't have time for the whole press conference. But he discusses a lot of issues in that he discusses why some of the ballots appeared pristine, his he said at the press conference that there were some military votes from overseas, that they come over on a form. The form doesn't fit in the machine. So they take that form and they basically transcribe the vote of the military person onto a new pristine ballot.

I wonder if that's true, then that's an explanation. Again, I prefer that we scrutinize these things and don't just take anybody's word for it. But this explanation still makes absolutely no sense. Joe, if I'm being ridiculous here, stop and I'm serious, I just stop by for the audience's sake, not man, it's election night. It's only the most important election of our lifetimes. November 3rd, the twenty twenty presidential election. And at 10:00 at night, just hours after the polls closed in Georgia, a largely Democrat county, Fulton County, which has had issues in the past with free and fair elections, just declares they're going to wrap up counting.

And we're just supposed to have this day, by the way, and they don't wrap up counting. Because he's saying that they said they were going to wrap it up, but someone told them not to wrap it up. Is it crazy to ask why, like, why would you I don't understand what was going on there? Of course not. And then you heard stories about and he addresses the leaking urinal, I thought there was a burst water pipe and this is supposed to clear things up.

By the way, he still hasn't addressed why they haven't done signature verification in Fulton County where this went down, they haven't addressed that. Oh, yeah, they did. Cobb County, a largely Republican county, but he hasn't addressed why they haven't been functioning. And we're also supposed to take their word for it. I give you both sides. Unfortunately, Gabriel Sterling sighed again, he leaves out these critical details. Some of this stuff was addressed to my satisfaction.

Appreciate the tone, not so condescending, but whatever my tone can be off sometimes to. But I'm really sorry, that is really a terrible explanation as to why counting went on in State Farm arena ballots that were under a table. When election observers went home because, well, they said they weren't going to count anymore, yet they continued to count when we told them the count. I'm I don't know, it just doesn't sound something sounds wrong to me.

You told us there was a burst pipe, there was no burst pipe. Now it's a leaky urinal. Ladies and gentlemen, again, this is evidence. Is it evidence of voter fraud? I don't know. But it is evidence of something. All right, let me move on. President Trump had a rally last night, well attended, as always, in Georgia, trying to get out the vote for the vote today. Please get out and vote.

In Georgia for these two Senate races, and I had a lot of clips from it, but I want to play this one, President Trump, and this is this is just I think this is the best clip of that. He asked two important questions here. The critical one I brought up yesterday during my show covering what happened in the election, how I'm not conceding anything. I'm not conceding anything today, not tomorrow. Next week looks really terrible.

Joe, you how does next week look? Again, I'm guessing that people are saying doesn't look good either. The week after that was really terrible. I'm not conceding anything because I'm not conceding an election, I believe was not held legitimately and I don't think it was. There were election law changes that were made in circumvention of the US Constitution we know about, and nobody wants to do anything about it. The Supreme Court's like that. We're just going to punt on that one.

That's not so important. So President Trump brought this up last night. How do you just change election law in violation of the US Constitution? Nobody can do it. There's no remedy for it. And he brings up a second question. That's question number one. He brings up question number two, which is absolutely hilarious, I'm going to leave him to break question number two where he asks about. Somebodies response to something about something. Check this out.

They never got the mandated approval from your state legislature, who, by the way, you have some great people in your legislature, some great, great people who agree with what we're saying and even more so. But think of it. They never got the approval. You have to by law, under the Constitution, you can't just do these deals and not get the approval. And your secretary of state or whoever it was made this horrible consent decree.

Horrible. Which got rid of so much safety. It's a disgraceful thing. And it was only approved by your local politicians, him and local judges. You can't do that. You have to have your state legislatures do it. That's true with all states, tens of thousands of votes are missing. We go all over the world telling people how to run their elections and we don't even know how to run ours. The most unhappy person right now anywhere in the United States is Hillary Clinton, because she's asking the Democrat Party, why the hell didn't you do this for me?

Through you know who that clip was perfect, I said it over in Paula previews the clips after Joe cuts them up and I see her laughing over there. And I can't really hear what's going on because I'm doing my tease on parler or whatever. Now, what are you laughing at? That's the best letterer. Hillary is like, hey, how come you guys didn't do this for me? I would have won the 2016 election. Well, ladies gentlemen, the answer is not very serious.

No, I'm not joking. I'm not trying to be funny. I think the answer is because the Democrats never expected Trump to win. And why prepare for something you thought was a zero percent chance of happening? I'm not joking. I think in 2020, they saw the massive crowds, they knew they were real trouble, despite the ridiculous polling, which we know was an embarrassment to humankind. I don't think the Democrats believe any of that. And they were prepared this time.

They were prepared. They they rigged the rules to make sure that any potential outcome would go their way and President Trump is absolutely right for bringing it up. So we'll be conceding nothing on this show. So if you're looking for a show willing to concede the election, that isn't it. By the way, can I address one quick thing? I was on this weekend filling in for Jesse. I did not write some of the stuff that there's a long story to explain.

One day, I mean, a really long story. I don't write what's in the private. Usually I have some time to kind of check it out. So some of you, like you said, Vice President elect Kamala Harris. Folks, listen, it's a long story. I'll explain to you some other time, but I didn't have any time to go through that. So don't mistake that for oh, my gosh darn Cotard's conceding nothing, I'm talking about myself like Bob Dole, third person, nothing, zero.

Zero. I'll explain to you that story another time when I about why exactly and have time to kind of go through that. I can see nothing. I think. Those are you email me fairly enough, I'm always open to criticism, I read you, I read your emails. I'm with you. But there were some strange circumstances behind that one, Joe knows the story. Besides the fact I was like in a total physical meltdown, I had to do someone a favor, like a big favor, a huge, huge favor, and I just couldn't say no because it's a really nice person.

It's not who you think. Looking for your response over there. I mean, if we start trading in those areas, sometimes the body that gives me a little, but it's OK, I do it anyway. All right, I got to get this video out, I'm going to have to wrap it up for the day this you know, I have the distinct pleasure of living in the great state of Florida, run by what I've got to believe is probably the best governor in the country right now, Rhonda Santurce.

Who is just every day putting on a clinic how to stand by your principles and deal with the total clown show in the prime of the Soviet Union media. This guy is just terrific. The Sanches, you know, if you come down to Florida, you'll be stunned, but it's actually free. Like you can go out and arrest. Oh, my gosh. You can even arrest. Yeah, you can do that here. It's insane. Just talking to a friend of mine yesterday who knows who he is.

He runs a business in Florida, in New York. I'm not going to say which because I don't want liberals to burn it down if they find out I know him. But he runs a business, the same business in Florida. He runs in New York. He's going to go bankrupt in New York because he can't open up. There's no science behind. Not a restaurant either. Felt bad for the guy, really did, he's actually going to expand in Florida now into my neighborhood.

Because he's losing money so badly in New York, so wrong to say that this gets asked the question by another fake news specialist at CNN, but it's not really a question. It's again, it's one of those statements disguised as a question. And the Santas, who puts on a clinic every day of how to deal with the media clown show, was having absolutely none of CNN stupidity. Check this gem out.

What has gone wrong with governor? What has gone wrong with the rollout of the vaccine that we've seen? Phone lines, jammed websites crash a lot of demand.

I think at the end of the day is my excuse me if I could finish what you just said, what has gone wrong. So I'm answering the question. If I could complete the question, though. So you're going to give a speech. Are you going to answer ask a question? With all due respect, when you ask the question, I'm going to finish my you're not show. You're you're giving a speech. You ask the question. I am trying to ask you that you're going to ask how many questions you get.

Three. They only got one question. Why do you get three?

With all due respect, Governor, I'm just asking if I could finish my question. You didn't you finish the question? I did not. My full question is what went wrong with the rollout of the vaccine when we've seen phone lines jammed website. So you're repeating question to complete it for you, Governor. We've seen the website's crash and also senior citizens waiting overnight for the vaccine. Where was that at? We've seen it in Duvall, Broward, Orange and Lee County.

Why was like in Lee? Why did that happen? Did you investigate why?

That's my question to you, Governor. You're the governor of the state. I'm not the governor of the state. OK, but you didn't investigate why that happened in Lee County. Why was there a big line?

Did you did you investigate why this does not run for president one day? I know we're still dealing with this election. I will be very upset. I mean, just spectacular. Disclosure, I have campaigned for Rhonda Santurce in the past. I owe you that much been at events, Ron, and I don't I have not spoken to him in forever. I don't coordinate segments with him. I do live in Florida. Another disclosure that whether that's relevant or not, I don't know this guy.

Nobody he has the two rules down with the media. Down. What are the two rules? If you're going to run for office, take note here. Rule number one, dealing with the media, we'll call them the d.a.'s rules from our only, show them that respect they show you. Which is ninety nine point six, two percent of the time, zero, they show you. So show them zero respect back. This is the media institution.

They deserve our respect. You can go take my double barreled index finger for the sake of family friendliness and Jamad right up your wise. Do you get nothing? Nothing from me. I have no respect for you. None. You're discredited Provida liars. You have covered for literally for the Soviet Union, your New York Times that you have covered for the Chinese communists, who there significant evidence may have unleashed a plague on the world from one of their labs.

And you called everyone a conspiracy theorist. You told us the PPY hoax and Russian collusion were real and wasted four years of our time. You had a president impeached for a phone call where not a single law was broken and found out later that the information the president was talking about, the phone call, about the Biden family was in fact correct after you tried to suppress the New York Post and actual media outlet from talking about it. I have zero zero respect for you, zero respect.

Do you understand that? Zero. You have earned nothing. So dissent is rule number one, show the media they respect, they show you, which is zero and you can show them zero respect back. These are not serious, credible people. It's why. When new polling is taken about Americans trusting the media. They rank somewhere below the three card monte guy in 1980s Times Square incredibility. The second rule. Never, ever answer speeches. Hi.

Don't answer speeches, answer questions. Not speeches do exactly what Ron, did you giving a speech or speech or is there a question mark at the end of that just questioning whether should. Yeah, question mark there, your question mark somewhere in the. Don't answer speeches. Or if they give a speech sensor with your own speech showing them they respect they showed you, which is zero answer questions, question mark, the speeches will pass. Good job, Ron.

Governor, forgive me, we are not that that was not like when, you know, people like slip like Ron, you know, they pretend to slip. You know what they do that. Joe, in the media, I was talking to Donald. I mean, the president, they do it on purpose to make. So that was not an intentional I do not know him that well. We've only talked like two or three times, and it's over like five years now.

It's not like one of those slips, like, hey, look at me. I know a personally governor to show the man his respect. Because unlike the media, I actually respect the man. Nice job, keep it up. Thanks for keeping Florida free and open like a sane governor. What? All right, folks, thanks again for tuning in.
