But before I show you here today, before we got started, no good, no good. Nobody got to be serious. Get right to the point today show. We're going to talk about priorities. No, it's going to be a lecture like we're lecturing our 13 year olds at home. It's going to be a real.

Good, solid show about priorities. Narrative priorities, government control, pyr priorities, vaccine passport priorities, gun confiscation priorities. It's about priorities. So don't miss it, because you're going to like it today, show Batebi Express VPN, you have a right to privacy online protected, get a VPN, go to express VPN, Dotcom Bongino today. Don't wait. Welcome to the Dan Bongino show. Let's get right to it. Lots of feedback on my rat story yesterday.

All good. Except for one dude. One guy commented skip to the four minute mark. You don't want to hear Dan's story about the rat on yesterday's show. I get it. He was outnumbered by many others who seemed to enjoy the rat story, which was fascinating. All right. We got a loaded show today, Today show brought to you by my Patriots supply in times of crisis or natural disaster. Is there anything worse than running out of food?

No, I can't think of anything. You need to prepare in advance with long term food storage that lasts up to twenty five years. So it's there when you need it most. My Patriots supplies America's leader in survival food. Their mission is your survival. For the last 13 years, they've supplied millions of families like yours. So I've arranged for you to save fifty dollars on their popular four week head of delicious emergency food. That gives you two thousand calories a day.

Four weeks of food or two thousand calories a day is a minimum you should have. I have tons of these things I have for for each of us in our family. This kit makes it easy. Go to prepare with Dan Dotcom and make the smartest decision you can make right now. Get a four week kit for each member of your family. Prepare with Dan Dotcom and save fifty dollars per kid. You can sure everything in your life that matters ensure your food supply.

I've got my supply of emergency food. Be a shame if you didn't have yours. Go to prepare with Dan Dotcom today. Prepare with Dan Dotcom. Don't wait. All right, Joe, let's go.

Nice, very nice. I heard the bell come in a little low and then it picked up right quick like that. Very good. So today we're going to talk about priorities. The left's priorities, the media's priorities and our priorities, right? So what do I mean by that? Where are we going to go with that? Well, let's just start out with a video right out of the chute. Here is Juan Williams on the five yesterday. I know one, it's not personal, but one I think making one of is more disastrous appearance is on the five.

Here's Juan Williams on the five on Fox News yesterday, conveniently airs at five o'clock. Don't know how that happened. Juan Williams on the five rushing to make excuses for the savage death of Muhammad Anwar. Killed trying to defend his vehicle against two young ladies who jumped in his car and wanted to appears to be a carjacking, some attempt to steal his car. You haven't heard this if you heard this story. Well. This doesn't fit the left's narrative here beyond being on the left, because the two alleged carjackers here happened to be black and Muhammad Anmar happens to be, I believe, Pakistani can't talk about that.

If you're on the left, that doesn't fit the whole narrative. So when your priorities are a narrative rather than real justice. Real justice. Justice for people, wrong, killed, murdered, robbed, assaulted and raped when your real priorities are narratives, millionaires rather than justice. You get segments that. Go a little bad. Like this one, I can tell you it's not, but I would say it's top of the front page or top of mind for everybody in Washington, but people are talking about it.

Just so I think in part what it is, is you got it's tragic. I mean, you got these teenage girls. I mean, they're little kids. Not they're not gangsters. They're not hardened criminals. I don't think they intended to kill anybody. They were looking for a joy ride and it just went way wrong, way out of control and ended up in a gross tragedy. I mean, this is unbelievable. Their lives are ruined. Well, they brought a stun gun, so usually you don't bring a stun gun joy ride.

But I just think correct.

I mean, it's like, you know, kids firing guns in their parents. I don't know what to say to say it's awful. It's a terrible situation. With regard to the mayor's tweet, again, look, I think that what we have seen in recent months is an increase in carjackings, car thefts in this area. And so for her to say be cautious that I don't think that was the wrong note, as you suggest, maybe, you know, maybe you wanted to hear her condemn the kids.

I don't know. But I think it's good for us all to be cautious as we see a rise in this kind of crime.

Well, Tucker, what was your reaction when you saw the video? I was pretty nice, but I couldn't I couldn't believe it.

Hmmm, that's a. It's an interesting clip there, so we have a video, a video of two young women, again, who happen to be black. Who enter the vehicle of a Pakistani man, vehicle speeds off. It's not their car, the young lady. They have again, these are allegations that they have a taser, according to the report. But as Jesse indicates in that segment, interesting how a one seems to claim they they may have just wanted to go for a joyride.

Yeah, a joyride, but it's not your car. So that's kind of. That's a little obstacle to your joyride. It's not your car, right? Is it yours? Yeah, Joe, I mean. Joy, go for a joy ride in your own, your own car, your own. Did the joy, the joy ride with the Taser in a car that's not yours, but again, when your priorities are not real justice and you're a social justice warrior and your priorities are always defending the narrative, white supremacy, everything's racist ever.

And your alleged perpetrators are black and your victim is an immigrant to the country from Pakistan who's working his butt off driving hybrids. And he winds up dead in a brutal slaying. Let's run that all of a sudden, this is a joy ride, a joy ride in a car, it's not yours. And you brought a Taser. Notice the rush here to make excuses for them joyride. They're just kids, I don't remember any of those rushes to make excuses when we had the juicy Smolla case, remember juicy justice for juicy, juicy Smally walking down the street in Chicago from the subway at three o'clock in the morning, alleges he was attacked by Magga.

People who brought a noose and bleached him or something like that. Remember it, you see? Yeah, Chicago PD came out, so. Yeah, Joe Joe remembers Jussie and Chicago PD. Kummetz. Yeah, yeah. That didn't exactly happen, but that didn't matter. Then the left the social justice work. Then they were in in a rush to say it's just a joyride for Jussie. No one was in and priorities were the narrative. And because the narrative was a couple of Magga folks in Chicago, not many Mafia folks in Chicago, by the way, chased this guy down in the street in the middle of the night, was coming at a subway and put a noose around his neck.

They were lickety split. They had that narrative down. Oh, my gosh. Justice for Jussie is Dave Chappelle said in his comedy segment on this. We got to get justice for juice, the juice needs justice. I don't remember everybody rushing to make excuses like Juan was here for these two young ladies. I don't remember that one. What about Bubba Wallace? Remember Bubba Wallace, Joe? Remember that little gem, the the Wallace story? Oh, my gosh.

There was a noose in his garage.

Yeah, it was a garage pull, you know, the garage pole where you pull the garage down. I don't remember any rush to make excuses here. I don't even remember a rush by the media to say, hey, I've got an idea, the FBI, you know, the spy gate, FBI, not all of them. But whatever you get my point, despite they've got like a thousand agents on this case, maybe we should all chill for a minute and find out if that was actually a racially motivated noose.

And Bubba Wallace's garage. I don't remember the rush to make excuses, as a matter of fact. In contrast, I remember a rush, just like justice for Jussie. I remember a rush to say this was definitely a racial incident. That was a noose. Except for the fact that that alleged noose had been there for years because it was a garage pull to close the garage. Again, no rush to make excuses for people. A rush to come to the immediate now this is definitely racist and it's definitely a white supremacist that did it.

I don't remember, by the way, a rush to make excuses. And the Nicholas Sandeman Casey to remember Nicholas Samman, kids go to the capital for the march for life. That Native American elder comes over, gets up in his grill. Remember that one? Yep. Everybody rushed to say, look at this smarmy little turd burglar. Look at this kid causing trouble with this venerated Native American elder. Of course, that fit their narrative, kid happened to be white and the Native American Halldor happened to be from a minority groups.

Of course, they rushed to damn Nicholas Sandmen, who eventually won a settlement from a number of media agencies who later had embarrassingly retract their ridiculous stories. So we're talking about. Priorities, if you're wondering why I keep saying it that way, it's because I grew up with a kid who used to say that we were talking about priorities. When your priorities are narratives rather than truth and justice segments like this. Materialize. Now, Tucker Carlson was on the five yesterday, if you all missed the five yesterday, I'm very sorry.

It was, let's say, quite entertaining. I've never seen Tucker on the five before, but Tucker decided to go on the five and one on the five and talking about his new show on Fox Fox Nation. So while he was on the five, Tucker, clearly Joseph Tucker had a B.S. meter on his B.S. meter going off, maybe he was tired. I go on TV sometimes very tired. And I'm telling you right now, if there's a B.S. meter and here's like my on my elbows don't work, but here's like the peak of the meter.

Sometimes I go on TV and my meter, like, right there, it's like right there. My guess is Tucker's was like right there, like Pete Tucker's had enough of this nonsense. So here's Tucker Carlson in a different segment with Juan Williams, were once talking about how, you know, we're going to whatever pay for infrastructure and taxes or taxes with infrastructure or some other garbage liberal nonsense. And yet Tucker's B.S. meter was kind of pegged. So check this out.

If you're looking at new bridges, new highways, if you're looking at better broadband, bigger ports, everybody, the trucking industry, the car industry, workers, the Wall Street people all say that GDP is going up. They say this is going to be great for the economy. The problem comes from Republicans who say, oh, but we are how we pay for it. You want to raise taxes on the rich and we don't want to drive up deficits.

If we're not cutting taxes for the very rich, that's the only time they'll do that. But they say, oh, no, we don't. OK, all right. Got it. Got it. Got me. I got to go. All right. One, I'm going to tell you something. I think you have to say anything, actually, not one very. It's a big thing. Yeah. Yeah. A couple of things like this.

I feel right.

Got it. That's that's I mean, listen, I've been there the meter demetre my meter typically on TV's here, my meter when I'm tired is there once in a blue moon my meter's been there. Tucker's meter was clearly there. He had probably had enough of this nonsense. And once prior statements about making excuses for these young women involved in this incident and this we need more of. I need this injected. Right. Why do we have a syringe anywhere around here by any chance?

You know, a lot of medications in the last few months living right in the veins. Right. And I would I would actually do the right thing there. Right in there. We need a little more of this, not the personal one. Nothing personal. I think I'll be back on to five in a couple of weeks, I think next week, as a matter of fact, I don't know, maybe Helen, I'll tell you right now, I will tell you right now, unless they cancel me after this segment, which I doubt I will be on the five.

Yes. Yes, I will. That I did not set this up. I totally forgot about this Tuesday, April 6th. Be there or be square one. So, again, going back to my. Theme to today's show got to have priorities. When your priorities are the narrative. Truth and justice never matter, but we need more of this directed right to our veins, people who just dismiss this nonsense out of hand because of the utter sheer stupidity of it.

Let's talk more about priorities here. When your priorities are big, massive, huge monolithic government and the diminishing and dissolving of civil liberties and rights and power and control to get there, then again, truth and justice are always subordinated. Let's look at this absurdity regarding vaccine passports. I don't know who this dude is in this tweet on his social media account. This this guy, Lindman. But listen to this one. So here's a Harry Lipmann. He's got a blue checkmark.

So clearly, this is a serious person, Harry. He's at Harry Lipmann on Twitter. He says, talking about this new proposal, the Biden administration is floating out there for vaccine passports, huh? Sounds a little bit Soviet to me, but whatever fits right in the left, this kind of that's the real house, right. Soviet prop, this stuff. So what's the difference? He says about vaccine passport, says Harry Lipmann. His words, not mine, vaccine passports are a good idea.

Among other things, it will single out the still large contingent of people who refuse vaccines. You know, don't you dare refuse, folks. He goes on and they will be foreclosed from doing a lot of things their peers can do. If they think this is great, that should help break the resistance down, folks. I'm not even kidding. Is there still a swath, a swath of people out there in America who think liberals are not hardcore radical Soviet totalitarians?

If that's you, I'm deeply sorry you've been misled and you live in a fantasy land. I love comic books. I collect them since I was a kid. But maybe you're living in a really bad one. I was never a fan of Power Man and Iron Fist. I never was. I just didn't like them. Maybe you were in a bad iron fist. One don't know. But maybe you need to wake up Stata. Rusedski. By the way, this guy didn't even get a lot of negative feedback from liberals on that.

Liberal, so-called big civil libertarians remember liberals, they used to be for the ACLU, now they're for sticking you in little boxes if you don't have a vaccine passport. Here's Joe Biden yesterday. Biden again when your priorities are government control, things like vaccine passports fit right in. Ladies and gentlemen, there are people on the radical left who I'm telling you, just read their words, not mine, read their words. There are people on the radical left who don't mind the fallout from this coronavirus play because it hasn't been fallout has a negative connotation.

The fallout from it has been people have had to surrender more of their civil liberties towards government. Their businesses have been shut down, their movement's been restricted. They can assemble. Some of them lost the right to petition their government. People have been arrested, put in jail. You've been forced to wear a face, typer. There are other people like Lipmann who want you to have a vaccine passport now to be able to enter civil life again. Are people don't they don't mind this, they think this is great, because when your priorities are government control, any way you get there, even a deadly plague is like, hmm.

Not sure the fallout from that's been so bad. That's their view. Look at this, you need more evidence so states are starting to open up, you know, things like freedom, liberty, fresh air, springtime, get out of the house. We've got a vaccine now. You're seeing death rates plunge in the United States. I mean, normal people think, hey, that sounds like really good news, people can work again, make a living, get jobs enough to live in fear anymore.

We've got a deeper scientific understanding of the or not and the lethality of the virus, import numbers and metrics. We know who it infects, who is at high risk. We know the infection rates in seniors are plummeting due to this vaccine. At the Trump administration got going through operation warp speed. Biden doesn't like it. Joe Biden's very upset about this. Again, not my words. Listen to this guy. Here's a video from yesterday, Joe Biden, because there are states opening up.

They hate this. They hate this Joe Biden's ass and the way out because he never answers any questions. You always know see if he answers questions on the way out. Here's Joe Biden on the way out. Asked if states should stop their shut downs, a stop. They're opening up and shut down again.

Check this out, Mr. President, you believe that some states should pause and re-opening efforts. Yes. Don't take my word for it, they're sleepy, sleepy, creepy, loves this, they love the shut down. Deaths from this disease are plummeting. Cases in major states around the country plummeting. But now they want the tyranny and the shutdown to continue because remember, when your priorities are government control, any vehicle to get you there is considered a. Is the casualty of your ideological war?

Remember, I put this story up yesterday at Just the news dotcom John Solomon citing article by Daniel Payne. Two weeks after reopening and dropping the masked man, the Texas covid cases continue to go down. OK, folks, you think this would the Democrats who claim to be all into science, into science. Science is a science is your thing. If science is your thing, does it matter that the science, the facts and the data say Texas opened up drop the mast mandate and now covid cases are dropping, in some cases dramatically?

You would think that would matter. But when your priorities are government control, everything you do is just a few broken lives, a few broken lives as a casualty towards getting toward your end goal of enhancing government control and entirely crapping away people's civil liberties. I got more on this, I got more let me get to my second sponsor and show you again how when your priorities are government control, every everything else is out the window. Today's show brought to you by our friends at Patrimonial Look fired up today, sorry.

Tired of these dopey narratives on the left, just like I've been taken on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, Patriot Mobile has taken on the mobile provider swamp and they have some exciting news to share.

Priorities show when government control is your priority, throw everybody under the bus, including your own kids, your own kids. America is throwing its kids under, but no, not you, not Americans, teachers unions and radical leftist who only give a damn about government control and obtaining the votes to gain more control over your life.

They love this illegal immigration crisis. They don't care one bit about it. Look at this story. San Diego Union Tribune by Kate Morrissey March 28th. The first busses with migrant girls arrive at the San Diego Convention Center. What's interesting about this story, again, I want you to think priorities here. So you would think priorities would be, well, let's reunite these people with their families in the countries they came from. They want to entertain entering the country again.

Legally, they can do that. But you've entered illegally. We are a country of laws. So we're going to have to we're going to have to send you back to your families in the countries you came from. No, no, that's not the priority. Check out this article at the end. Little snapshot from the article here, the San Diego County Office of Education said that it is collecting contact information for certified teachers interested in supporting its programing for the girls.

Oh, this is great.

So your kids aren't in school priorities. Priorities. Your kids aren't in school to soften you up to the government tyranny right here with us now, not coming right here with us now. That's why they're doing this. They love government control mask mandates. Shut down your business. Shut down your state. Biden wants you continued shutdown despite cases plunging and that's plunging in the country in most areas. Right. The San Diego Tribune writes this article. And at the end of the article that the author let's put this piece in there and she's like, hey, they're looking, by the way, for teachers.

And I'm thinking to myself, really, they're looking for teachers. Now, what's the first thing that occurred to me? Your story. That's great. We're looking for teachers, too, because nobody can teach their kids because their kids aren't in school, because the liberal teachers unions who give money to liberal lunatics like Joe Biden running the country, who are obsessed with body blowing you and soften you up. So you drop your hands and get used to government tyranny right on us right now.

They love they're not teaching your kids. There should be a we is use some fancy city. There should be a plethora of teachers available for this one because teachers aren't teaching our kids in many of these places. Not all, but many. Come into the country illegally. Oh, yeah, you'll get in-person instruction. You're an actual American citizen who follows the law, pays your taxes. Salutes the flag every day, your kids double barreled middle finger to them.

What do we need those little. Little rug rats. Stick them in your house on a Zoome call, teachers are busy, they're teaching the immigrant kids in San Diego. Well, because I don't want you to leave every segment upset, I ended the first priority segment about government narratives. Big Government Narrative's Juan Williams excuses narrative about the young ladies. I ended that with Tucker. I want to play you a little video here when it come to priorities on government control during the coronaviruses.

Here's the video of another person who's had enough of this nonsense, just like Tucker had had enough of Johnson says. So again, nonsense meter. Here's Rhonda Santurce. On any given day with the media and the Libs to say, this is almost always here. I'm sometimes here to this and this is always got his nonsense meter pegged, which I love. He doesn't want to come on the show, but that's OK, at least no time soon. But that's all right.

It's not personal. I'm into ideology and politics. And this guy right now is the ringer. Everybody needs a ringer, right? Every party needs a ringer. Don't we need a ringer? Everybody needs a ringer. That's not us right now is the ringer. I know. I'm messing around. It's the Santas. I get it. Somebody misspelled his name. That's not as words me. He can't get it. I know it's juvenile, it's stupid.

But sometimes they use. But the Santas is the ringer. Here's the Santas. He's had enough of this nonsense. Check him out right here. Drawing the line on this dopey, stupid Soviet idea of a vaccine passport. Check this out. You want the fox to guard the henhouse? I mean, give me a break. I think this is something that has huge privacy implications. It is not necessary to do. You know, we're going to have hit three and a half million seniors that have gotten shots sometime this week, likely.

Seventy five percent of seniors. It's important to be able to do it. But at the same time, we are not going to have you provide proof of this just to be able to live your life normally. And I'm going to be taking some action in an executive function, emergency function here very shortly.

I love this guy. I love this guy. I could I couldn't be happier to live in Florida right now. He's like a vaccine. Passports, double barreled. You get the double barrel. We will not be doing that here. But thanks. Thanks for the suggestion. Government tyrants. Good idea, just getting really stupid, we're not going to have that in Florida. Now. This is important because although we're talking about priorities, I want to ask you to prioritize something to.

I read a post yesterday by a friend on social media and he said. You know, I moved recently to a red state, I didn't have a job, but I knew my future wasn't in the state I was from and decided to take my chances and basically move to freedom and liberty place like Florida that actually has a governor that believes in antiquated ideas like. Civil liberties and freedom. The post was fascinating. Folks, I agree with him. I know many of you were tied down to these insane asylums you live in now run by liberals.

And it's a shame because I'm from many of these states, I've spent a significant amount of time in Maryland, significant amount of time in New York, and I'll always have loyalty to a lot of my friends and the people there and a lot of good people left their. But, folks, it's time to go. It's time to pick up and go, if you can, unless you are severely constrained, I'm telling you, we are in the middle of an ideological battle here that is not going to end well on a lot of these places.

Vaccine passports, your kids lives destroyed as they sit home and right away. Robbed of the ability to interact with their friends at school, robbed them in education, robbed of years of education as their lives. Their brain capacities whittle away mental health problems, health problems, businesses shut down. Folks, I'm not kidding, I don't mean to paint a picture of a dystopia because the country is not a dystopia. There are places like Florida and Texas that are doing OK right now, life in Florida, I've been down here now six years.

Maybe this is going to be my seventh year. I'm not sure I forget when I even moved. But life in Florida moves on as normal. Want to carry a gun down here? Go get one. Fill out the form. Make sure you're not a prohibited possessor, you can't open a business down here super easy. So state income tax down here, you don't even have to pay the state income tax, state spending is relatively controlled, something like 90 billion dollars.

We have a bigger population in New York. New York's budget is, what, closing in on nearly two hundred billion soon. If you can get up and go. It's time to go. Now, why I'm not just bringing this up because I read this social media post. I'm bringing it up because embedded in the social media post by this friend of mine was a video. You're in real danger in these states, these liberal states run by lunatics, you doubt me.

He played the video here. This is a video in in Oregon. Well, DeVita, but here's a video in Oregon of a man he's driving in a truck. His truck is attacked by an TIFA as he's attacked by the truck. He gets out to defend himself. He has a firearm. I don't see him menacing anyone. And what happens, you think? Oh, well, you know, he was attacked.

The truck was attacked. What happened?

Oh, you hear those police sirens? Well, what happened? Maybe after you heard the police sirens, you're saying, oh, the 94 people were arrested for, you know, coming after him stop in his truck and. No, no, the guy was arrested for trying to defend himself. Get out while you can. I'm not kidding. If you have the ability to get out of these liberal lunatic states where you are literally in danger. States where BLM and antifa are allowed to run wild, and yet the minute you defend yourself against these terror groups, the minute you defend yourself, groups that use terrorist tactics, you're the one who winds up subject to a police action.

Get out. Get out while you still can. Speaking of priorities, when it comes to things like firearms, gun confiscation has always been a priority of the left and their media buddies. You think the media would try to look at the gun confiscation issue fairly and say, hey, is there any evidence that as Americans purchase more firearms that the crime rate, homicide rate has gone up? No, they won't do that at all. Check out this article by the Media Research Center.

It'll be in my newsletter today, dot com newsletter, which I'd appreciate it if you subscribe to, allows me to bypass the big tech brigade, Media Research Center. Geoffrey Dickens bowled over. And that's the nice thing about the networks. Promote anti-gun policies over gun rights, 14 to one in bolder coverage. Now, why actually talk about the issue fairly? You'd think they'd show these charts they showed last week on gun ownership in the United States to make the case or at least be fair, here's AEI, the American Enterprise Institute.

This is an interesting chart. I showed it last week, but I'm showing it again for a reason because you'll never see this in the mainstream media because they're committed to gun confiscation, because priorities. Here's the percent change in the number of firearms in the United States versus the gun homicide rate. You think the media would note that as the number of privately owned firearms went up dramatically, the gun homicide rate went down? You think the media would note that, you know, data, but that again, going back to the one segment in the beginning, when your narrative is set, truth and justice really don't matter.

And when your narrative is set that guns, bad guns, equal gun homicides and you have data that goes against that, you just ignore it and pretend it didn't happen. What if you say, what about guns per person? Or we have that, too. We showed this chart last week, but I'll show it again. Here's guns per person in the United States by the gun homicide rate. You'll notice guns per person went up while the gun homicide rate per person.

Yes. Went down. It down. Down. You won't see that on the media, however, because that would go against their narrative. And they've got priorities. Well, I gave you a priority. Make it a priority to get out of your state. If you live in a liberal lunatic state. And moved to freedom, you'll find a way. Folks, it's time to get big. Get big. What does that mean? You know, a friend of mine, she once said, you know, where the leaders we've been waiting for, I bring that line up often because it hit me hard because I thought she's right.

We're always looking for a well, who's going to be the next candidate? 2024, who's the next Republican superstar? And the answer is you. Yoram. We're independent minded liberty lovers, we're not collective Borg type personalities like the left that has the suckle off the teeth of their, you know, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, HRC. You know how that works. They need that leadership because their collective top down thinkers. Not us. We love things like liberty and freedom.

So our priority should be to get big what is get big meat? Well, 43 years ago today, something happened. The great Ronald Reagan. Was shot in an assassination assassination attempt at the Hilton in Washington, D.C.. Interesting story, obviously, for a number of historical and tragic reasons, but particularly interesting to me given my prior line of work. This is a video any Secret Service agent training has probably seen upwards of 20 or 30 times with Secret Service learned a lot from this video.

There are things we never did again after this. Let me just play a quick snippet of the video. This is the shooting of Ronald Reagan. You notice a couple of things here. Here's Reagan walking out. Only 15 seconds in the video. People are, hey, Mr. President. And it's going to stop at a certain point if you could freeze the screen at the end when it stops. I don't know if you can do that. Appreciate you should have told you before the show.

There's the shooting. Look right there. I want you to see something. You see this guy in the blue suit right there, the agent noticed what he did when he heard the shots. Look look close. If you're watching on Rumball Dotcom slash Bongino, that's where you can get the video version of my show. You'll see it if you're listening on audio. You'll notice the Secret Service agent when he hears the shots getting fired doesn't duck, but what does he do?

He gets big, he makes his body big by turning his body and his body mass towards the gunshot. We have an expression in the Secret Service called Get Big. That's what get big means.

You come back to me now. I was pretty good at you, freeze that didn't even tell you I wanted you to do that. This guy's talented over here. That's Agent Tim McCarthy. Real hero. It was gunshots he took around, he ate that round. Like a hero. Turned this body towards the gunshot, didn't duck, didn't run. You know how hard it is and Secret Service training, I know I was an instructor there for three years and our Secret Service Academy know how hard it is to train people to get big.

It goes against everything you've ever learned and every one of your survival instincts. You know how hard it is to break that, to teach Secret Service agents to not duck when they hear gunfire and to teach them to get big. Arms out, body towards, legs spread, get as big as you can, create a big target so you get hit, which McCarthy did. Folks, I know some of you prefer the audio version of the show, and that's fine with us, we try to make it user friendly for both, but I'd really appreciate if you'd watch the video today and where you stop that again.

Rumball dotcom slash Bongino. It's free. You can just watch the video right there. They're numbered the same way they are in the audio show. And I want you to see what McCarthy does. He gets big. 43 years ago today. We need to get big to. We need to get big. Most of you already have a lot of you. In your daily lives get big all the time. We've got some serious fights ahead. It's time for us all to get big.

Hard to train. But once you learn it, you never forget it. MacCarthy. He got big. Real hero there 43 years ago today. All right, let me get to my last sponsor and let me just tell you with the that, yes, it's a two pager again, a lot, believe it or not, there's a lot in the news that if you're paying attention, must be on one quick note, very sorry. Yesterday during yesterday's video of Senator Mike Braun, spell check.

We should have checked. It's our fault it came up. Mike Brown on the video. If you watch it, Senator, it's not Senator Braun that's totally my fault. It's spell check thing. But we should have checked it. But if you watch yesterday's video, some of you caught it. We know it's Mike Braun. We said Mike Braun, it was a mistake. So very sorry. Once in a while, those productions things happen. Production think production things happen.

OK, on the other side, one more priority segment. Shut down any opposition that's there. I want to show you a story there and you may have to skip ahead to this salon.

Think it depends how we're doing on time, but there's a story circulating about me out there that, again, is quite hilarious to shows you how dopey they'll fall for any any trap. These media people really are not bright Today show brought to you by LifeLock. Hey, the IRS just issued an urgent warning about a new scam stealing the electronic filing identity numbers from tax professionals over emails. Cyber criminals can use this information to file fraudulent tax returns. That doesn't sound good.

Taxpayers should be aware of the latest phishing scams, but individuals also must take steps to protect themselves. It's important to understand our cybercrime and identity theft affect our lives. Every day we put our information at risk on the Internet. In an instant a cyber criminal can harm because your finances and your credit. Good thing there's life like this happened to me. No joke. Had my identity stolen, they went out and bought a bunch of real estate programs.

Not kidding. It took me a year to clean this up. I had LifeLock before they were even a sponsor. This was an easy read for me. LifeLock helps protect a why helps detect the wide range of identity threats like your Social Security number for sale on the dark web. I mean, you wouldn't know that without LifeLock. If they detect your information's potentially been compromised, they'll send you an alert. I played one of my voicemails from LifeLock on.

That's a real voicemail. They called me. It was luckily, again, it was legitimate, but they're on top of this stuff. No one can prevent all identity theft. They're monitor all transactions at all businesses. But you can keep what's yours with LifeLock identity theft protection. I have it for me and my whole family joined now save up to twenty five percent off your first year. Twenty five percent of your first year by going to. Here's the URL.

LifeLock, dotcom, Bongino. That's life lock dotcom slash Bongino save twenty five percent off today. Don't let your identity be at risk. LifeLock Dotcom slash Bongino go check it out. All right, I saw this story yesterday, if you can't top priorities, priorities on the left, you know, instead of getting the truth out there and lobbying for a free and fair and open society where people can defend themselves are allowed to access the commercial economy, the left hates that.

By the left, I mean, the media, too, and their priorities are to shut down any opposition, believe me, as a equity holder in parler. Really. I'll get to that story in a minute, too. As an equity holder in parler. And after witnessing what happened with parler, the left is committed, absolutely committed. One hundred percent driven to engage in this totalitarian drive to create this like Batman, Knight, Batman, Nightmare Escape, Justice League world, where the left are the only ones allowed to speak and live and exist in normal society.

You're not going to be able to start a website. You're not going to be able to leave your house without the vaccine. They want to force you to get all the stuff. They love this stuff. So this is an interesting story. This is a social media public post from a Brunete T Smith, who she wrote a story with USA Today. And the gist of the story was this, that these people involved in that incident, the Capitol, January six, who are having to defend themselves in court, some of them, well, they put up these fundraising accounts to raise money for legal fees.

You don't have to agree with what happened, but nothing illegal about doing it, so the is one of these Joe, we've heard these stories before. The story is one of those. Be a real shame if your place burned down stories. You know those stories when a guy comes into your business, hey, you know, you're going to use my trash company. Well, we're not going to use your trash company. We got another company. Be a real shame if your place burned down.

That's one of those stories where it's a hint and a nod. You know, the hint that they're not stories. So Brant Smith T. Smith writes this story at USA Today, basically kind of implying that the you know what they do, they write about these fundraising sites. And what happens is when people pressure these fundraising sites to get the platform, which is the purpose of these stories. So, of course, what happened is that's the new Republicans pounced, by the way, is writing stories about tech platforms like substract these these fundraising sites, writing stories about them to wink and a nod to the boycott brigade to get these places boycotted off the Internet completely.

And platform. You got, Joe, that make sense, you guys. That's the purpose of the story. That's what they do. It's the new Republicans pounce story. So after they do it and engage in this kind of, you know, wink and a nod totalitarianism, they always paint themselves as the martyrs. So Brant Smith got tremendous backlash for this story because of Glenn Greenwald's tweet, which I'll put up in a second. And she's like she tweets, Here's the martyr part, the amount of hate my colleagues, Rachel Greenspan, Colin R and Taylor Llorens are receiving right now for supporting me is sickening.

This is what creates a culture of silence, sends some love their way. Please. Oh, will you please stop with the martyrdom? You're supposed to be a journalist, you wrote a story anyone can read, they are free to criticize you. So she's upset because Glenn Greenwald called her out, rightfully so, and said, hey, congrats on using your new journalistic platform to press your tech companies to terminate the ability of impoverished criminal defendants to raise money for their legal defense from online donate online donations.

You're well on your way to upward your way on your way upward in this industry for sure. Folks, again, the left's priorities here are not truth, the media's priorities are not truth, their priorities are to shut down any opposition and any vehicle to get their. And when they get called out, they paint themselves as martyrs, will you grow up, please? You're pretending to be a journalist, pretending you write an article that people are free to criticize because we feel that articles being used or will be used by others to do platform and silence others, and you make yourself out to be the martyr.

Oh, my gosh, look at me. I got some nasty graphs. You got some nasty grams. Oh, boy. You want to hear some nasty grams. Just put my name in any social media. I'm any social media account. Let's see if we got what doozies we have. Oh, here's a story that this is these are real. The name Bongino just seems like a stupid stoner joke. Here's another one. I'll get to this story in a minute.

Have all over social media today. Totally fake news, but written by a fake news kid, former Parler CEO says Dan Bongino owns no shares and got hustled by Rebecca.

Rebecca.

Well, Joe, you didn't know that. I don't know. I don't own any part. I got hustled. I wasted all our time.

It's amazing. Parler hasn't sued me for saying the entire time, I own you. Right. You better get on that. But sue me for false representations. This is an actual story. Again, you would think. I'm sure the kid who wrote it, the kid who wrote and hope he'll paint himself as a martyr soon to what can be such a martyr. People are sending me nasty, nasty doing that stupid stuff is written about.

But it was that thing about the stoners that was kind of funny. Well, let me read that. I actually read that kind of extemporaneously on the. Someone takes Bongino, he's curious if that's a real name, he says he always thought it was Italian for bingo, probably kind of a racial slur, but that's just how liberals are. That is this is from a Twitter guy. The name Bongino just seems like a stupid stoner joke. I guess that's a whole bong thing.

You know, he probably knows pretty well. I don't know anything about that. Seriously, I've never done drugs in my life. Illegal ones, that is. But they seem to know a lot about that. And it's supposed to be like an own on me.

But will you stop with the nonsense? Grow up. All right, I'll get to that parler story in a minute, would have been a good Segway, but I want to get to this first. Against Shobhaa priorities. When your priorities are destroying election integrity, you got to stick with your narrative's data, be damned. And the Democrats push for H.R. one, this is a fantastic article. I think it's behind a paywall, so I'm hesitant to put it in the newsletter.

But trust me, it's worth your time. This article is by Holman Jenkins in The Wall Street Journal. This is the Democrat's new election destruction bill. That's what it is. H.R. one is Democrats survival strategy for twenty twenty two. The proposed law would drown out our political system in cheating allegations that can't be disparate. This is a brilliant article by Holman Jenkins, a very smart guy. Now, it's not a real big pro Trump piece, but that's fine.

We don't only you know, we try to give articles even if they don't agree with our political conclusions. He makes a great point here that this H.R. one bill the Democrats are putting nationally, putting putting forth nationally, which would nationalize elections and make voter I.D. illegal at the state level. He makes a point, try to follow me here. Audience ombudsman, I will need you here. Everybody cheer him up and listen. He makes the point that data analysis and redistricting and things like that have made campaigning in swing districts and nationally more of a campaigning, not legislating.

There's a difference, I want to be crystal clear, have made campaigning a relatively centrist exercise. What do I mean by that, Jenkins is saying that. When you see the difference between the moderate Republicans and the moderate Democrats running for office in a national election, these swing districts that so many swing districts, there's really not much, much daylight anymore at this kind of a sad thing. He says this century, centrist campaigning has a side effect. This is a brilliant analysis, folks, he says us that this centrist campaigning is going to make elections in these swing districts because we're not worried about the districts that are 90 percent Democrat because they're not even close.

Nobody challenges those. Right. Get my point. The swing districts and nationally, which were a 50/50 country. It makes these elections very close. Because there's very little daylight between these candidates anymore, the unit party. So if the elections are close, what better way to dispute every close election by making sure you use tactics in the election that make the secret ballot even harder to decipher? I know it's a little tough. Let me read you from the piece.

This is a brilliant he says he talks about the Democrats H.R. one bill pushing for mass mail in voting. And he says here's the flaw in mass mail in voting, which Democrats would love to make universal here. It's that nothing is observable except the counting. Bingo. Brilliant. You can't see who votes, you can't see how ballots are collected, you can't see how ballots are transported or stored. Every election in the future would be decided by mail in ballots if the Democrats get their way opaquely delivered to the counting table.

Never again might a candidate see a personal upside to conceding that a close defeat was fairly arrived, that. Genius. When your priorities in the future are to destroy election integrity like the Democrats are to H.R. one and challenge any single close election. And then you push for mail in ballots where nothing is observable, Joe, you don't even see people on a line to vote anymore, right? You just see a bunch of envelopes. What better way to contest every single election?

That's not happening, really. Check out this town hall piece by Reagan McCarthy in the newsletter today. Iowa secretary of state is urging Nancy Pelosi to stop the overturn of the marionette Miller Meek's victory. She was a Republican congresswoman, one by six votes in Iowa. Pelosi saying, no, she didn't win despite the fact that the vote was certified five to nothing by both Democrats and Republicans. Jenkins'. Conclusions. There are brilliant. That sadly, we have a unique party in this country, the ability to analyze data and polling, which is so intricate and granular, rise now that in swing districts and in national elections, there's very little difference.

So elections are always going to be close. And what better way for the Democrats to contest every close election going forward than to institute nationwide mail and voting and make it mandatory, destroy voter ID laws and then just challenge it every time it's close and say, now we didn't lose? Some of you may be saying, well, that's ironic because President Trump did the same thing. Fair enough. But I believe President Trump and a lot of the claims made were not claims they were based, in fact.

Pennsylvania's last minute changing of the law outside of the legislative process, these were all unconstitutional by nature. Here's another one. And I want to. Let me move on for my Priorities segment here to go to the narrative's portion of this, the Democrats, I have to tell you, I said to Paula yesterday, almost admire their ability and I don't. I respected. But I almost admire their ability to stick to a lie. It's depraved, it's disgusting, it's tragic, but they will stick to a lie no matter what.

It doesn't matter how often they're embarrassed. I'll get to that in regards to a story about me in a minute, too. But they'll lie with impunity and it doesn't bother them at all. They don't care that they'll be embarrassed that people will call them out for the lie. They do it because they they just don't care. So, Georgia. Just pass the voter integrity law, which is going to harden up their voting process against fraud, it makes it, of course, quite easy to vote.

But as as as Brit Hume said yesterday, Fox makes it difficult to cheat. That's always been the goal, right? Make it easy to vote difficult. The cheats. Brilliant way of saying because it's true. So the people in Georgia, the Democrats, the liberals and the national liberal media machine, of course, has come out because they hate voter integrity laws and said what this Georgia voter law, Joe, it criminalizes giving people bottles of water in the hot Georgia sun who are trying to vote.

And everybody who read the law like me was scratching their head like gavel time there. Like, did that really say that you can't give people water? A head scratcher. Head scratcher. There it is. There it is. That what you have to let them die on the curb right there. Georgia. One hundred ten degree. Just let them die. No water for anyone. Go to jail. You give them water. And you smart folks like Josh Holmes on interview on Fox News said, well, that's not really the truth.

Josh Holmes said, and this is PolitiFact, PolitiFact hilarious. Liberal propaganda machine fact checker folks, PolitiFact was fact checking Josh Holmes, who said, hey, the Georgia law has not criminalize giving people bottles of water pertains to political organizations. Well, what is PolitiFact rate that if you're watching on Rumbo, look to the right side of the screen, you'll see it says they rate that is mostly false. So it's criminal to give people water in Georgia voting.

Wow, that's really strange, PolitiFact says so, which is quite hilarious because PolitiFact s own story, if you just scroll down, actually refutes its own mostly false analysis. Look at that, look at Joe. Check it out, look at bullet point number three, this is PolitiFact, our own story. So PolitiFact say, yes, criminal, criminal to give people water. Bullet point three, PolitiFact. The new law allows poll workers to set up Seltzer's self-serving water stations for voters to use.

Well, I thought you just said that was criminal. I thought you just said the narrative you got to stick with. And they don't care that they humiliate themselves when your priority is the narrative that Georgia law wants people to turn into beef jerky in the sun, waiting to vote, dehydrate them to death, it's illegal to give them water in their own article. They're like, no, it doesn't say that you can give them water. Here's NBC News, they got a pile on the water at the water narrative was powerful yesterday.

Florida Republicans considering new election bill that would effectively ban giving voters water. It doesn't say that. That's not what it says, folks. What was happening? We're going to skip to the next the last story instead, what was happening, what was happening is there's an exclusion zone around the polls. I ran for office three times. You're not allowed to campaign within a certain amount of feet of the poll. It's to prevent intimidation. It's a good idea.

You don't want to go to vote and, you know, as you're walking into the door to vote, you've got 20 candidates screaming at you in your face trying to intimidate you. That's not a good idea. So you're prohibited from campaigning within whatever it is. One hundred and fifty feet of the poll. And believe me, it's enforced. You cross that line, I'll throw you right out of there. As a candidate, what people were doing was giving out water.

And on some of the water bottles, they had labels like, hey, vote for Joe Armacost. He's the best. So what they said is, if you're going to give water to people at the polls, you have to set up a self-service station so people can quench their thirst. You can't give out these bottles, by the way, if you want to give out, those bottles are fine, but you have to do them away from the polling location.

But again, if you're liberal and you're a dance, you really believe it's illegal to give people to water. I mean, it's just so stupid. Again, you almost have to admire their commitment to the lie. Speaking as I saw this story on social media, folks, there is like a whole fake news industry around me. I leave a lot of it alone, but this one is one of those Lawlor's where you laugh and you're like. You're like a guy who claims to be a journalist, really wrote this story.

Like this story on its face is so laughable, you would think someone with an IQ above twenty five would figure it out. Here's the new one. But the liberals are spread. They believe this just like they believe still to this day, despite the fact I had to sue to get it corrected and we finally did. To this day, liberals still believe I was fired from narrativity. They still believe that despite the fact I had to sue someone to get the truth to come out, that I wasn't fired.

I was offered a huge raise and left. I had finally we got that correct. It doesn't matter. Liberals love the lie, just like you can't give out water in Georgia. So here's the new one, which I'm sure will spread its way around the liberal dumpster fire. This is from Salon dot com, I should say. All I have to say is Salon that comment. The L'Oréal part takes care of itself. And this is by Zork Peloso, otherwise known as Zach Patrizio.

This kid pretended to be a conservative, a campus reform. And when that didn't work out because he's a buffoon, he decided to go try to be a liberal for a little while. So he wrote the most LOEL article I've seen all year. Watch Liberal spread this around. Former Parler CEO says Dan Bongino owns no shares of Parler and got hustled by Rebecca Mercer.

Oh my gosh, this is news to me. Wow, I didn't know. It's kind of weird. You'd think if you were a media person, you'd be like, gosh, that's kind of strange. Mancino said he had some equity share in parler, but he hasn't been sued. That's really crazy. By the way, I left Parler a while ago. I'm getting a ton of emails. The reason I'm bringing this up, a couple of a couple of reasons.

Number one, the story story so dumb, only a moron like Zalk Peloso would write it because you think he'd common sense would kick in. But second, I'm getting a lot of emails about parlor's some policies, that story, but the FBI folks, I have nothing to do with it haven't. I'm really sorry, but I can't answer your question because I don't have anything to do with it. I left a while ago. I have got a lot of things going on.

I don't have any say in the day to day operations of parler anymore.

Having said that, I obviously do have an equity stake in parler. Are we even having this conversation? You think I would say that if I didn't actually have it like I have it there, but of course when you're Zork Peloso, you're, you know, in your journalistic standards are. You know, beneath that of a four year old writing a writing, a cartoon character about the vegies versus viruses or something, that was a story my daughter had one day, you know, then this is what you do, whether you think it's interesting that.

Is Parlor's CEO, former Parlo CEO, who filed a lawsuit against Parler and included me in it. It's kind of interesting that in the lawsuit he's claiming he was fired. This is kind of fascinating for reasons other than incompetence, but yet in the same lawsuit is claiming he doesn't even know who owns a portion of his company. That's kind of weird. No. Joe, is that weird? I'm just asking. I'm just saying, like your assertions are you were fired for reasons other than incompetence.

That's why you're filing a lawsuit. And in your lawsuit, you're claiming you don't know who owns your company despite signatures on the document of who owns your company. Very, very strange, very strange lawsuit. But again, leave it up to Zalk Odisho. That's the law to fall for this. He's a dope. This kid, Zork, is really a trip. All right, folks, a lot of material today. Thanks for your support on the May 24th launch of my new national radio show, coming again May 24th to radio stations all over my humble request.
