Com Slash Dan for a limited time. tommyjohn..com for details. First up. Today, we talk with Congressman Jim Jordan about a story he exposed involving Stanford helping DHS censor conservatives before the 2020 election. That's right, a college helping the government censor you. You're not going to want to miss this story.

If you haven't heard it, check it out here. All right, welcoming back to the show, gentlemen. We haven't spoken in a long time and way too long, because I really appreciate his perspective. Congressman Jim Jordan.

Congressman, welcome to the show.

Don't comment on this, leave this to me. But I'm telling you right now, a lot of people who whip this stuff against you. I'm never going to forget because you were the conservative choice.

I mean, he's argued cases in front of our highest court. He's a good guy. I'm going to do everything I can to help Mike.

He's a great guy, but that doesn't make you any less of a man. And what happened was a disgrace. But let's move on, he is.

He's a great guy and I'm glad you said that. But I'm still mad and I'm going to stay mad for a long time. So get some other stuff.

I want to get to this Stanford story with the Selection Integrity Project because it's such an obvious violation of the First Amendment. But just some quick thoughts. I just saw a tweet just come out before you came on the air from the oversight committee about additional subpoenas, because nobody knows this case better than you. Being issued now. To Eric Schwerin, Hunter Biden's Business Association associates. But this is a great one. Congressman, There's a subpoena going out to the art gallery that Hunter Biden is using to sell their art.

Thank God, that is long overdue.

I think we should talk to this Kevin Morris guy, I mean, the guy who just, you know, Shazam. He just shows up and decides, I'm going to pay Hunter Biden's back taxes. I mean, we need to talk to this guy, for goodness sake. So there's a ton of guys, whether it's the Americorps company that was in bankruptcy. That James Biden got to give him a bunch of money, and then that two hundred thousand goes to Joe and the loan quote. You know, we need to talk to those people.

We need to talk with the folks in the art business, we need to talk to the guy who paid his taxes. We need to talk to Walker and Schwerin, his business partners, all those folks. So yeah, this is important stuff, because remember the context here, it's a story as old as the hill.

The politician takes certain actions that benefit his family. And then he tries to sweep it all under the rug. They try to sweep it all under the rug. That's what happened here, and you can, you can follow it. For what he did with Burisma, other things that he did that benefited his family. And then you see what David Weiss and how the Justice Department handled the investigation.

I mean, in all the folks we've interviewed, they all just confirm what we've talked to seven different people. In the Hunter Biden investigation. U.

S attorneys, FBI agents, we've talked to the DOJ tax attorney, they all confirm what Shapley and Ziegler, the whistleblowers, told us. No one can refute what those guys have said, which tells you one thing.

They were telling the truth.

Don't worry about it, but let's assume Donald Trump wins a primary. It's not over yet, we get it, but he's a pretty good debater.

He's got a knack for one liners. I feel I really think he should do this. He should keep a paper copy of the two hundred thousand and forty thousand dollar check to Joe Biden from his family member. He should pull it out during the debate and say, Listen, I'm a businessman, you're not Joe.

Right, I understand business, you probably don't, you got this. This is an enormous amount of money.

It's four years pay for the average American. You got it from your brother. Can you please explain to me, as a businessman, where the loan documents are for this?

But I do think at some point they're going to come in, and I think these other folks are going to come in. I mean, we got Devin Archer, he came in and he told us all kinds of important stuff about what happened in December 2015. When the Burisma executives asked Devin Archer and Hunter Biden, We're under pressure, we need help. And the next question, we asked, Mr.

Archer What did you do next? Hunter Biden got on the phone, called his dad, and then, five days later, his dad goes to Ukraine and says, We need to get rid of this prosecutor. You're not getting a billion dollars. And he made that decision on the plane ride over, according to The Washington Post, he called a quote audible and said, We are going to hold up the money. Unless they do what we, what we want them to do, what I want them to do, and so we talked to Devin Archer.

I think the rest of them are going to come in, I think Sherman is going to come in, I think Bobulinski. I think you know all these folks that Rob Walker, I think all of them that we need to talk to. I do think they'll come in.

You're a nice guy. On to the next topic here. This just explosive story about a symbiote between the government and Stanford University and this election integrity Project and CISA. Yeah, the story is not complicated. You know, a lot of these scandals, you and you and I and others exposed Spygate and others. They get a little complicated at times.

This is easy. The government was basically deputizing people who are not government actors to censor because they can't do it for the First Amendment. Yeah, what can be done to stop this from happening again?

Like, that's a good thing we don't want to play, but here's what was going on here. Taibbi and Schellenberg called it the censorship industrial complex, and they were referring to big government pressuring big tech to censor people like Dan Bongino and other conservatives. Because it's disproportionately conservative.

There's a few liberals that got censored, but it's like nine out of every 10.

It's conservative. But this was even more elaborate because this was big government, big academia and big tech, all working to censor American speech relative to the election. And it was it was Fox News people.

It was Newsmax, it was people like you and Molly Hemingway and Mike Huckabee. It was like the Who's who of conservatives were getting filtered, getting scaled back, sometimes having their posts or tweets taken down. All a bunch of baloney, and they were using your tax dollars to pay. Stanford and the University of Washington, other universities, to set up this elaborate software system where they would post this tweet looks problematic. You might want to check this out.

This, this post should be scaled back. And they were doing it to conservatives.

There's the Biden party, the Democrat party, the Republican Party and the Trump party, there are, there are four, that, there are four distinct parties. And if you don't understand that, you don't understand the current political zeitgeist of the day. But having said that, there's I bring that up because a lot of people who are Trump supporters, it's a large majority of the parties, just based on numbers.

They're really angry at the progress of this thing. They're like, and I get it, they're like, OK, great, like, let's stop talking. But in your, in your defense and the members up there, and I rarely do this for the members up there, but you specifically. This is hard to unwind.

This has been going on for a really long time. This isn't new, it's not one entity, it's not just the Minister of truth. And we fire and it all goes away.

Their tentacles were everywhere. Facebook fact checkers Pierre Omidyar Money, Soros, Money, NGOS, college campuses. This is a big thing to unwind.

It was so extensive because there was like seven, eight different federal agencies that were named in that case that were guilty of censoring American speech. So, but we're having just again. But here's a great example. The FBI announced, like two and a half months ago, they will no longer be making unannounced visits to American homes. And Danny Warfall, who's commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, says We are doing this for the safety of our agents. Baloney They're doing it because we caught them knocking on Matt Taibbi's door while he is testifying in front of our committee.

We caught them in our district, the fourth district of Ohio. They showed up at a lady's home, knocked on her door. This guy said he was an I.R.S agent, and she's like, you seem like some scam. The local police thought he was a scam artist.

Turned out he was an I.R.S agent, acting belligerent. All kinds of crazy things. They got reprimanded, I mean, they changed their behavior because we've caught them and we made a big to do of it. Just like it's happening with this censorship issue and their attacks on our First Amendment liberty. So we just got to keep it up. But you're right.

It's a long process because I think you use the right word there. Tentacles are everywhere, everywhere, throughout universities, throughout the agencies. And then, and frankly, in big tech, so many of these big tech people used to work in the agencies and they go work for big tech. And it's just like one in the same.

We're talking to Congressman Jim Jordan, Congressman last question, and I'll let you go. There's obviously a fight coming up about funding. I believe November 17th Speaker Johnson's been kind of thrown into the Lions. That's like, Hey, congratulations your speaker.

Government funding is going to run out a week, so there's a bit of a crunch here. I think the problem, you understand, because we've talked about it on the show many times, is we're going bankrupt. I mean, it's not a de facto bankruptcy. We're not going to be in Chapter 11, but we're running into trillion dollar interest payments on our.

That's insane. Congress. That's more than we pay for our military. Do you see if we were to take back the White House? Finally, for once? A serious, a serious push for some legitimate spending controls that can get us on track to fiscal stability in the future. Or, and I know you're always a candid, honest guy. Or do you think there's just a wing of the party? The swampy wing of our own party just doesn't care?

It was on the real wages. For every demographic in our population, we're going up, the economy was earning, turn and churn and burn. It was just going great, and then Joe Biden comes in and does just everything, just terrible.

And so I think that's that's real important, because there's a chance and it's getting much smaller window to get this fixed. There's a chance if we, with President Trump, wins. And we just begin to slow the rate of growth of spending in all areas, that with with real robust economic growth, we can, we can deal with it. But if we don't get that, you're right, it's it's gone for an ugly place.

I don't even want to think about that, but it's going to get up.

And Congressman, I'll let you go, but I just want to leave on this. The reason I ask that question is not a trick or a setup. Is a person you and I both know who's very smart about the swamp and not a member of it. Texted me a while ago and said. The reason? They don't want Jim Jordan to speakers because he's the one guy who might actually cut government spending and they know it. I'm going to leave that there, Congressman, you know, I love you on the show.

You're welcome back here any time. Thanks for fighting a good fight and please stay on top of that censorship complex. You got it, sir. We will.

Deserve the gift of restful nights. Stuff's no joke really puts me to sleep. You know, everyone's out there talking about the abortion issue, saying it's a bad issue for Republicans. Folks, if we're not willing to defend life, then what's the point of the party?

I think it's a bunch of garbage. We have to learn to talk about the issue. Listen to this segment and see if you agree.

So about the abortion issue I gave you. I like bullet points and takeaways.

Takeaway number one is the Democrats want you to believe that abortion is a loser. Everywhere it's on the ballot, because every time it's been on the ballot by itself, the Democrats have won. They're correct.

They're not inaccurate. Everywhere, from Kansas, which is a red state, to Ohio, which is a red state, Michigan, which is purple but trends blue. They are not wrong that data, and I believe in data, that data is accurate. When voters are given a chance to vote on an abortion referendum, I'm not talking about the merits of the referendum at all. I'm simply stating a fact that we have not done well.

Matter of fact, we have not done well anywhere.

That's takeaway number one, however, because I believe in data. I will also tell you that people telling you Republicans can't win, who are pro life, are also lying to you. How do I know that? Because there's a guy in Florida, in the state I live in, named Ron DeSantis, who is pro-life and passed pro-life legislation. And Jim, he won reelection, correct?

I mean, last time, you know, I haven't. I mean, yeah, yeah, almost 20 points. So so strange. I was told like, you're a pro-lifer. And then Jim. Florida, it was a swing state, correct? I don't, you know, I don't follow politics at all, but it's kind of swinging.

Right, went back and forth, used to be right, but it isn't anymore. But it's weird, cause I was told if you run as a pro-lifer, you're finished.

Now you're probably saying to yourself, How can those two things reconcile? Well, you say, no, that's just one example, isn't it? Brian Kemp in Georgia won reelection by what? Six, seven points.

They passed some pro-life legislation down there too, so I'm a little curious. I would I would stop, but did you? If you run as a pro-lifer, you're done, you're going to lose by 7,000 points. But that didn't happen.

How is it that when abortion's on the ballot by itself, we lose? But when candidates like Desantis and Kemp run and abortion is an issue, but not the issue, we win handily.

The answer is because the Democrats are really devious. That's why, and we're going to have to learn to deal with it, folks. The Democrats will do anything to terminate human life in the womb, anything.

You need to understand that. To the Democrats, killing babies in the womb is is, is is a near religious ritual.

They're obsessed with it, not only are they obsessed with it under the guise of empowerment and reproductive rights. When it's exactly the opposite, it's the right to not reproduce and to kill what's inside of you? Not only are they obsessed with it, they're obsessed with it because they know they can lie about it. And they can use it to motivate voters. And it works. Ignoring the data makes you look like a fool.

Folks, there's no one more pro-life than me, and no one from conception to natural death. But I've got to tell you, even some of my friends in the pro-life movement.

They keep telling me to not see what I'm seeing.

I'm a data guy, I want to save as many human lives as I can.

And our party's absolutely worthless if we can't defend human life.

Here's the thing.

Folks, we have to learn how to discuss and message the issue better. There's nothing worse than a Republican who can't fit a message on a Wheaties box. There's nothing worse than a Republican who walks into a methadone clinic talking about the laffer curve.

There's also nothing worse than a Republican who's not prepared for the standard Democrat lies on abortion. And I'm going to tell you, 99 of them aren't.

Listen, if you go to a Major League baseball game and you're going to try out for the Yankees, right? You want to be the center fielder. You're probably going to practice before you go there, just a thought, right? You're not going to take a year off and then go, Hey, you know what?

I'm going to shag a few fungos. If you played baseball, you know what fungos are.

That's not how it works. So why would you think you could run for office against a billion dollar abortion enterprise that has invented a thousand? Focus group, tested lies and spent millions of man hours learning how to defeat Republicans. And you're going to go in and wing it.

This is why we continue to lose.

Almost no one on the Republican side outside of maybe Desantis Kemp and listen for, although I disagree strongly with a lot of things on the Trump side.

I've said it on the air and I don't agree with the position on the abortion issue. He's figured out a way to move pro-life legislation along.

I.

E through the courts, where he got the three justices appointed, overturn Roe v. Wade. But balance the messaging issue. If you're not willing to train yourself on how to talk about abortion, then I'm asking you as a personal favor, please don't run for office. You're going to get hit with the same exact stuff every time and you don't want to be the Todd Akin.

You're going to get hit with what happens if a woman gets raped. Well, that's obviously an abomination. Can we all agree on that? And yes, a crisis pregnancy is very tough, really tough. It's going to be tough on the woman.

It's going to be tough on the child when they find out what happened. But folks, it's still a human life. And if the child was a toddler, would you kill the toddler because it was a product of an abominable crime? Well, no, of course you wouldn't, so why would you kill the child in a different stage of development in the womb?

I don't understand.

Why is nobody prepared for that answer at all? No one.

Why is nobody prepared about being pro-life throughout the life cycle? Well, you Republicans, you say you're pro-life, but you want a bunch of single moms out there with no support. We absolutely do not. I don't know what you're talking about. I am more than happy as a society to pass pro-life legislation that also allocates my tax dollars to adoption and fostering adoption and solidifying the American family.

And Republicans are starting to get that now. You're going to talk about pro-life, we've got to be pro-life from conception to natural death. You don't just say, oh, yeah, yeah, well, screw it.

We don't want abortion, but then you're on your own. I'm not saying we need a cradle to grave. Social welfare state. Whatever the government does, it usually destroys. But significant tax breaks for people to make donations to adoption-focused agencies.

These are things we can talk about and should.

Why is nobody prepared for this?

Oh, what do you know? what do I know? I ran on this stuff, I came the closest in the district to winning, I sat on NPR with that.

What's his name? The Nnamdi guy NPR debating abortion for 45 minutes with 100 crazy callers.

It's a clump of cells. You're a clump of cells. Did you take a biology class? What do you think? you are? No, no, that's a clump of different cells.

What do you mean like endothelial cells, neurological tissue, muscle cells? Because that's what you are, too. Well, you don't know when life begins. No, I do.

I've got 100 success rate. Every human being on planet Earth was conceived, everyone.

So conception to me, I'm 100 correct, your success rate's zero. You can't find a human being on planet Earth that did not go through the conception stage of the life cycle. you can't, so I'm 100 to zero.

You're zero to 100.

So the fact that you're unsure, but I'm sure and have 100 success rate. We should just kill the baby because you can't seem to figure out the math.

On the moral side of it. So, takeaway number one on abortion, we've got to learn to talk about it differently. And I just laid it out, I'm not just throwing out a random talking point, I just laid it out.

Dan, How did you learn that stuff? Because I went to a candidate school. Folks, Oh, that's goofy. No, it's not goofy. I wanted to learn how to be a candidate because I'm not an idiot.

And a pro-life woman came in who brought up some amazing points. I'd never considered on the rape and incest issue, she said. Something that changed my life forever, she said. Those are horrible crisis pregnancies, there's no doubt of it.

Circumstances are unspeakable.

But she said, Dan, trot out the toddler, I said, What does that mean? She said. Would you kill those babies when they were toddlers? I said, No, of course not. so why would you kill them in the womb?

What did they do?

Oh, I'm getting goosebumps. That changed my life forever.

Changed my life forever.

If you're not going to learn how to talk about abortion, then get the hell off the ballot and don't tell me you can't win. Kemp and DeSantis won huge running as pro-life candidates who just knew how to talk about the issue. I will say, second to the pro-life movement, I am an avid part of. I am pro-life from conception to natural death. But until we get the messaging issue down better and can move the needle, we've got to start moving in increments and saving more lives.

It doesn't mean acquiescing on the morality. But if we can save as many lives as possible and move the marker back, we've got to be realistic in that. Politics is sad, but the tragic art of the possible, not the art of the utopian future.

We've got to move the needle.

On the moral side of this.

You will never talk me out of being pro-life. From conception to natural death, ever, there is nothing you can say I am persuadable. On various tax rates, various forms of taxation, fair tax, flat tax, school vouchers versus savings accounts. Listen, term limits versus not. I'm open to hearing your arguments on anything.

I have a 100 success rate that life starts at conception. I'm not persuadable. You can tell me you want to kill human beings in a womb. I disagree with you, but you're not going to tell me you're killing a clump of cells because you're just wrong.

And to those people out there today saying, Well, I think we should become more like the Democrats and just give up on the abortion issue. You realize, I heard the same thing on the immigration issue after Mitt Romney lost.

No, I did. I was in a focus group. David Korn from Mother Jones did a whole expose. Jim Group meets in D..C. of conservatives to talk about conservative issues. It was hilarious.

We were all laughing, we read the story. I was part of this group after the Mitt Romney thing. And I will never forget this guy coming in telling us, Man, we got to stop talking about immigration. We got crushed on this.

Hispanic voters hate us. We're going to lose the next one. I mean, when Obama won reelection, I can't you think we're in, like, the depths of despair and that we're not even close when Obama won reelection.

I mean, people were like, suicidal, they couldn't believe it.

Guy came in, he's like, we got to stop talking about this. And a couple of people in the room were like, Yeah, I'm not sure that's what did it. Same thing I'm hearing, same exact argument I'm hearing about abortion now, and this crazy thing happens.

Donald Trump runs announces in 2016.

He runs literally on Build the Wall. The one issue to focus group guy swore to us was an absolute loser. And he wins the largest electoral column landslide like we've had in, you know, three cycles. And everybody went back and were like, Man, did we misread that? You're misreading it now.

We are not a culture of death, we're a culture of people who are being bombarded with billions of dollars of money from the abortion industry. Shuttling a bunch of fake talking points that we haven't learned to respond to, it's really that simple.

And again, I'll prove it, the Santas and Kemp, they ran on pro-life stuff. How did they win into swing states by massive margins if everybody loves abortion so much?

Folks, if you went to an island tomorrow and there were 100 people on an island. And there was a council of elders you wanted to be on, and they started killing a bunch of babies on the island, would you join in to be on the Council of elders? Oh my gosh, Dan, that's horrible, is it? Because that's what you're asking me to do by saying, Oh, maybe we should give up on the abortion issue? Nah, no thanks, I don't kill babies.

Sorry, and I'm never going to do that.

I'll accept a lot of stuff before I accept that as a party platform. Yeah, we're going to back off the life issue. No, I'm not, I'm not. We're just going to learn how to effectively do what we should be doing.

Politics, that's what politics is, the art of the possible. We're going to save as many lives as we can.

Won't fold like a cheap suit on this.

This stuff, if life doesn't matter, then the party's worthless, man, the party's worthless. Up. Next, another great interview, but let's talk about our next sponsor. We're up against another government shutdown later this month, and our wise leaders deal with it how they always do more government spending.

While lawmakers are high-fiving, your savings account could continue to lose value because more spending weakens the dollar. End the cycle, diversify into gold with the help of Birch Gold Group B-I-R-C-H. And listen, when you open a gold IRA for every $10,000 you spend by December 22nd, Birch Gold will send you a free gold bar. Just text Dan to 989898 to claim eligibility before Brack Friday.

Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA of 401K into a gold IRA for no money out of pocket, and you still get the free gold bars. Don't let your savings become a victim of the further devaluation of the dollar. Do what I did. Buy gold from Birch Gold. Text Dan to 989898, receive a free information kit on gold and claim your eligibility before Black Friday to receive free gold bars on your qualifying purchase. Performance may vary.

Consult with your tax attorney or financial professional before making an investment decision. Message and data rates apply. We talked with Dinesh D'Souza about how the Police State's trying to prevent you from seeing the movie Police State. Ironic, isn't it? You'll never believe who's standing in the way.

Well, you know, I love him as a guest. He's one of the guys who really inspired me to really start doing deep dives on issues of liberty and freedom. He's also the executive producer, along with me and my wife. On a new film, Police State, some of you have seen it. If you haven't yet, it's available at policestatefilm..net, not dot com.

PoliceStatefilm.

Net read the reviews on Twitter and True Social. I think you'll be shocked at some of the stuff it exposes. Welcoming back my friend Dinesh D'Souza Dinesh, thanks for joining us.

DAN Always a pleasure. So sadly, Dinesh and I'm going to get to this in a minute. There is another scandal around this movie that doesn't involve us, but involves things that are being done to us. We're going to get to that in a second. But I wanted to get your thoughts because the movie is called Police State and, sadly, Dinesh. Every day is a new headline proving that you and I and the movie are absolutely correct. As a warning.

We learned yesterday through Jim Jordan and various news outlets that the government that is supposed to be protecting our civil liberties, that's their actual job. These rights are granted by God and protected by the government. Supposedly was knee deep in a censorship scandal, with an element at Stanford University to censor conservative content before the election. The useful idiots in the media, Dinesh. They have always been a part of police states, haven't they? This is the scary thing is that the police state.

So it's the very opposite of protecting our rights. It actually wants to control us and make us subject to the official narratives of the police state itself. The beauty of the film to me, Dan, is that there's all kinds of new stuff that comes after we made the movie. And yet the movie provides this sort of beautiful explanatory framework for understanding it all. Look at the stuff with the trans shooter, we now know it's very clear that the idea that you've got a trans shooter is motivated by woke.

Ideology hates white people, hates men, hates Christians, is targeting people and killing them, so wokeism is the theory, and mass shooting is the practice. And yet that is such an inconvenient narrative for the left that they have to. This is why they were suppressing the manifesto.

I mean, there's that much material that surfaced just since the movie was launched. Here's a story that may not have gotten a lot of attention. If you've seen it or not, I'll just give you a quick abstract version of it. But again, it's more evidence of a police state and how. It's not, as we say in the movie, always a bunch of uniform wearing, boot wearing people marching down the street.

Sometimes it's what you just said. It's an entity at war with itself. In this police state, there's a story of this Grand Canyon. University sued the Biden administration in court. Did quite well. Now, they find themselves on the receiving end of a regulatory onslaught and a 37.7 million dollar fine.

There's a whole editorial in the Wall Street Journal for nonsense, total nonsense that nobody takes seriously. The same day, Donald Trump's in court for a civil trial, for a civil trial with no victims, for a loan he paid off. Where the banks have no, are not litigants in the case. I mean, isn't the process the punishment for these police state people who fully understand, when they get the reins of government, that they can make people's lives miserable, regardless of?

Absolutely, I mean, I saw this in my own case going back to 2013. You know, you just feel the vulnerability when you are up against the full power of the U.S government. They have unlimited resources.

They have a massive federal rule book that's like an accordion, and it's very easy for them just to reach in here and pull out this sheet. And then they have the power of using the legal bludgeoning that sometimes goes by the name of flea bargaining. Which is, hey, well, you know, you're facing 10 years, but if you plead guilty and you'll get only a year. But then, of course, the left gets to jump up and down and go see, see. He admitted he did it, even though even an innocent person would have every incentive to take the plea deal. So this is a stacked system. And I think what's really bad is that the system is now being exploited ruthlessly. By this combination of left-wing ideologues who make up juries, left-wing judges who are willing to abuse the system, left-wing prosecutors coming out of the Biden regime.

So the police state is very real, and we're even discovering it in small ways. And things happening to the movie itself, almost in a kind of stunning confirmation of the movie. The movie itself is being, in a sense, thwarted by people who are.

You've got one of the top grossing films of all time in a documentary, 2016.

Your films have been an unquestioned success financially and also for the movement from the activist front. Again, that's just a statement of fact based on data. Yet when you first approached me about doing this police state film, which is obviously given that I was a law enforcement officer. Something very, you know, sensitive and passionate. Cause for me, I was in right away. But I've got to tell you, as a friend and as a partner in this project, I did not expect the headwinds.

We had a lot of the things I haven't said to my audience because they're confidential in the business space. And some of the stuff has reconciled itself. And I don't want to waste their time, but I feel like this needs a public airing. So you and I have been discussing this for a couple of weeks and we've been trying to clean it up. And the DVD is for sale now now, typically, DVDs for unbelievably successful films, which we sold out. Theaters across the country would go on sale at all of these sites Amazon, Walmart and elsewhere. But something happened, Dinesh, that you've been going back and forth with me for two weeks on.

And I got to tell you, I wasn't prepared for this one. Explain what happened with Walmart. I think everybody expects Amazon to act like communists. Sad, but it's true.

But the kind of left-wing infiltration of these major corporations, and sometimes they're not infiltrating the whole company, they're just taking over the acquisition or the buying process. And that is no longer done out of Arkansas, it may be done out of Chicago, out of San Francisco. So there's a bunch of people in San Francisco looking at this order and they go, Police State, wait a minute. Is this Dinesh D'Souza's film?

No, let's just give it a big X. And so, as it turns out, two of the biggest sort of retail outlets in the country, Amazon and Walmart, simply will not stock our DVDs now. Look, this is not a phenomenon unique to us, but of course, it's unique in the sense that it confirms the thesis of police state. You're going to be blocked by this kind of combination of public and private actors working in concert, and I say, working in concert. Because we don't know if Amazon got a message from somebody in the Biden administration, basically saying, Hey guys, do you really want to be stocking this kind of a DVD?

We don't know the behind the scenes, we only know the behind the scenes with regard to censorship. Because, of course, Elon Musk opened up the Twitter files and we could see, wow, there's a whole portal. All these agencies of the government are putting in names of people to be banned. So it's only sort of in the rear view mirror, or in retrospect, that you get the full story on how this happened. But I think the bottom line of it is we should not, our team should not put up with it, and we should look for alternative ways to get the DVD.

The good news is that we do have it through Salem. We do have DVDs through Shopify, but you have to go to the website, which is policestatefilm..net, there are tabs there. You can, of course, stream the movie, but you can also order DVDs, and this is a great movie to stock up on for Christmas.

I mean, it's been a.

I'm not in this for clickbait or anything like that. So me and you gave this a lot of time. Oh, maybe it's an error, Walmart, maybe it's a mistake. It's not like, we jumped the gun on this to, you know, oh, let's talk about this, and maybe conservatives will pick it up and we'll sell more DVDs.

No, folks, that has nothing to do with it. This actually happened. I can see no reason why Walmart would not sell the DVD. Police State Dinesh. Without going through the back end stuff. You and I both know this thing sold out theaters across the country.

You have the second, I think, highest grossing documentary of all time. You're not some like Tomato, Can, Ham and Egg or Guy who came on the scene yesterday. They have. Can you think of it seriously? Can you think of a single reason? They would not stock this film other than somebody winking and nodding at them and going, Hey, you know, be a bad idea if your place burned down if you stock this film.

That's the only reason I can think of, look, I mean, I have sold.

It hasn't even been questioned, and there have been left wing reviews of the film, which have deplored. Disagreed with the thesis of the film, but again, not questioned any facts in the film. So there is absolutely no legal, no moral justification, no justification at all for doing this other than where we have the power to do it. We don't want to have the product, and therefore, too bad for you, go get it someplace else.

And that's ultimately what we have to do. Go get it someplace else. Fortunately it's available, very good customer service. Get it from Salem.

Get it from Shopify. But this is the way we fight back is, we don't allow these tactics.

He hung himself after being accused of terrorism for spending just seconds inside the Capitol and doing absolutely nothing and suddenly damaging, didn't even touch anything. He's really dead, folks like that really happened. These are real stories. Like you just said, you can have an opinion about 2000 mules.

Fine, whatever. Police State is a documentary about real people, they have no excuse. Your final thoughts, I mean, the really depressing.

The website is policestatefilm.

Net policestatefilm..net. You can also stream it there. It's really simple pick up DVD, just click on the tabs.

We would deeply appreciate it. We think it's a project you need to see. It's been an eye-opener. And don't listen, we produced it, don't take our word for it.

I mean it, just go to Twitter and True Social, put in Police State movie and just read what people had to say about it. Absolutely, you'll be convinced. Dinesh, Thanks so much for your time. We always appreciate your perspective.

And thanks for this important project. It meant a lot to me too. Thanks a lot. thank you very much, you got it.

So sad, folks. Walmart. When he first told me that I really, that's why it took me two weeks to tell you, because I'm like, Nah, there's a mistake, nope.

Not a mistake. Walmart, Walmart up next, another one of those Expresso rants from me, but first our next sponsor.

Listen, times are serious. There's been an increase in crime, mass shootings, streets and neighborhoods are less safe, violent crime is up across the nation. On top of that, I'm sure you've seen stories of the good guy using his gun to protect his family, finds himself in handcuffs and in jail.

It's not good enough to be prepared with your weapon alone, you have to be prepared to defend your family. Most people aren't. You got to be prepared for the mental, physical and the legal ramifications of self-defense. Don't ignore that.

History. It's not even a close second. I bring their receipts and also expose the swamp as the terror sympathizers they are. Check this out.

Jim and I, we're sitting here. It's obviously the break and I get back at like 2.

04.

I'm like, obsessed with, like, brushing my teeth. I know you need to know that, but I share everything with you because I just want to. We haven't had a TMI moment in a while. Jim, like, a long time. Do you have, like the sounder? We haven't used that in so long. You probably forgot where it is.

This TMI moment is brought to you by Dan Bongino. So I got, I'm like, I'm obsessed with, like, cleanliness and stuff. It's close to godliness, you know how that is. So I come back a little late 2.04. And there was a White House presser that went on a little bit ago and I don't know if you noticed this. But Karine Jean-Pierre is getting less and less time up there because every time she's up there, there's an automatic cleanup operation that has to work. Jim, let's, you know what, let's jump to cut five while we're on this, right?

I was going to do this in a different order. But why not? Every time she opens her mouth, this is bar none the worst press secretary in the history of the United States. Folks, I get it, I don't like Democrats. Oh, you're saying that because you don't like Democrats.

No, I'm saying, because it's true, the woman is completely incompetent, completely incompetent. She has no aptitude for this, she has no significant achievements to speak of that.

She would be a press secretary. She is just awful, so Jim and I are like.

Dude, do you think she's like a double agent? I have a theory. Tell me if you think I'm correct. Folks, you can, you can chime in on on the Facebook there.

I think Karine Jean-Pierre was pulled into the White House as an agent of the Conservative with the Safe Talk Radio. Because they were like, you know, cars are trying to get rid of the A.

M Band, Talk Radio. And you know, we're going to. We lost rush and this is really bad. What can we do?

Rush is sick. Let's sneak Karine Jean-Pierre into the Biden administration as a double agent. She'll say so much dumb stuff. It'll be like cannon fodder for the audience, and the audience will come back to it. I, It's my only theory.

It's my only theory how someone with so little skills manages to stay in one of the most critical positions in the entire world. I'm not joking. That is one of the top 20 most powerful jobs in the entire world. Speaking for the White House, no question about it. And yet it's Karine Jean-Pierre.

Here she is yesterday, she's asked the simplest of questions by Peter Alexander from NBC. This is not hard, folks. Hey, you know, you got a bunch of pro-Demon savage supporters ripping down pictures of kidnap Israeli babies and stuff like that?

You know, what should you do about that? Let me just tell you, Karine, before your answer, here's the answer. Because it's not hard. it's not hard. Write this down, Karine. Get a pen.

While we as a White House respect the First Amendment, the right to speak freely, we also understand what happened there on October 7th was an abomination. The White House extends its sympathies to these hostages and do everything they can to get it back, and we strongly condemn people ripping down the signs. Next question would have been over, would have been over.

Bro would have been over. But because Karine Jean-Pierre is uniquely untalented, like no human being, there isn't a worse person on planet Earth. In that spot, I would pick the bagel guy Doug from Bagel Bites for this job, and I love Dougie.

Dougie Fresh rides a motorcycle. Love it. He's a real guy, he would do this better. Here's Karine Jean-Pierre who can't figure out the answer to this freaking ground ball.

You ever see big fat Greek wedding? It's a bunt, it's a bunt. She can't figure it out.

Listen to this a lot of videos of individuals who have been tearing down signs, many of these taking place in New York City. Of Israelis presently being held hostage in Gaza, there have been some tense confrontations that have taken place. There is the White House's view that these actions should be condemned, the pulling down of them, or that that's a form of peaceful protest. Look, I've sort of kind of seen the reporting here and there.

I think it was from last week, there's been like 30 million videos that got around. No, I know I hear you, I hear you.

I'm just not going to, I'm not going to, I'm not going to. Is that peaceful protest? Hold that down?

Or should you not be? I'm just not going to go into specifics on that particular thing.

Jim and I can't get enough of this. I swear this woman was, this woman was said. Did the Safe Talk Radio? She has got to be a conservative plant. Jim, can, Mike? can you and Mike call the heritage Foundation? Freedom Works?

Is she an operative? is she an operative? call some of the biggest conservative think tanks out there. She has got to be an operative, she has to be.

Call Ted Cruz. Maybe it's a super PAC, maybe it's the MAGA. Make America Great again. She cannot be a Democrat.

There is no way someone this dumb is in that job. There's no, it's impossible. This is the simplest answer ever.

You're the press, you're the press secretary, it's your literal job to go into it. Oh, Mike, yeah.

Jim, you got to get the Billy Madison thing, that was that. Do you have that if there was ever, ever a time that someone with this guy there was Billy Madison, right? This actor needs to be in the back of the Brady Press room at all times.

And every single time, Kareem Jean-Pierre, do you have it? Every single time Kareem Jean-Pierre says something dumb, which is every day. Now. This guy in the back of the room should say this.

What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

Who's that guy? Simon Atiba Simon? Can you play that on like a little microphone? Next time she gives one of these dumb answers, please, I will have you on the show to discuss it the next day if you will, do us that favor.

Has there ever been anyone in any administration so not suited for a job than this woman? Oh my gosh, is she bad.

That's why John Kirby's out there all the time.

Now, tying it back to the beginning of the show.

This is why I don't extrapolate anything from today's results, you know, yesterday's results, we're talking about them today to 2024.

I just don't, folks. I was at a rally for John Corzine when I was working security for Obama.

And I remember they were like, Oh my gosh, it's going to be a huge electoral college landslide, the Democrats are going to get wrecked. Nobody showed up for this thing, these off-cycle elections. I wish they'd gone better, but I don't transplant any of it to 2024. In a presidential race where a bunch of Trump people who probably stayed home, I wish they didn't, but are going to show up.

I just don't. And one of the reasons I'm absolutely sure that 2024 is going to be different. Are we going to win? I don't know. I'm not getting into any of this red wave crap. I was the one who tried to talk people out of the red wave thing last time and it didn't materialize.

But I do think we've got a decent shot in 2024.

And one of the reasons is I believe in data. Biden's approval rating is in the 30s, and it's in the low 30s now, and it's in the low 30s because of kitchen table issues. Things that are directly impacting Democrats who are tired of Biden, and the two things that matter most are inflation and crime.

Folks, crime includes terrorism, and I am sad to break this news to you. But this administration, ladies and gentlemen, knows that the enemy is already here. They know it, and the Democrat Party is not only doing nothing about it at our southern border or elsewhere.

There are members of Congress who are actual terrorist sympathizers. Do you believe that? Rashida Tlaib put out a tweet calling for Jewish genocide with her River to the Sea thing? No, everybody knows what that means. They're not talking about the Mississippi.

They're talking about the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. Jim, what's between that?

No, no, Jim says. Israel. I didn't, I got to get a map, I didn't know that.

I didn't know that, that's so weird. So you mean, they're talking about wiping out Israel? Is that is, that? is that, my Jim saying, Yes, that's, that's.

That's what they're talking. Yeah. Fact check True, wow.

So, instead of the Democrat Party universally condemning this, saying Hey, you can fight for the Palestinian cause all you want, but calls for Jewish genocide out of this, a good idea. No, no, here's Ilhan Omar Jim. If you would queue up, cut three.

Here's Ilhan Omar. Yesterday. She thinks, if she screams really loud by the way, that she's going, let me scream her. And Cori Bush The louder the decibels, the more idiotic I sound. But we'll definitely all cringe up.

Here's God, look, she came up, she made a statement and beat it, that's hilarious. Here's Ilhan Omar sympathizing with the terrorist sympathizer yesterday.

Check this out. What is true here is that every single one of them has not acknowledged the fact that.

Has the right gentleman from Maryland is recognized?

Here's Cori Bush, another member of the squad. Jim I can't listen to this whole thing. I listened to it on a podcast and I was ready to throw up after about once. The yelling starts at about 30, so I just potted down because it's just here's Cori Bush.

This is the same one, by the way. Cori Bush, squad member. That was a defund, the policer. And then when she was asked about her six figure security bill, she was like, Screw you little Wal-mart losers and everything. Like, I get my own security, I'm OK.

Remember when she kind of implied that, like, she deserves it and you don't? Here's Cori Bush again, terror sympathizer defending her friend calling for Jewish genocide. Take a listen. St. Louis and I rise today in opposition to.

It's a what's really unbelievable is you, Jim, do you got the you got the other guy? Let's play this Virginia Democrat. Here's a lunatic who showed up at the polls screaming at someone accusing them of being in the KKK from the same party. The same. I got to play it.

I'm going to have enough time, it's a long, you got to listen. This is from the same party accusing you, the MAGA people, of being racist and Ku Klux Klan members. That's from a group of people in the squad calling for Jewish genocide.

But yes, you're the bad guy makes perfect sense to the leftist.

They're like, Hey, hey, ho ho, Israel has got to go, and then the MAGA people go, that sounds like Jewish, you're racist, you're anti-semite KKK. I'm like, what?

I'm just, I'm just asking about that. Sounds weird, like you're calling for Jewish people and Israel to be wiped off the map, like that sounds bad.

Anti-semite Are you guys on meth or something? Are you OK? You need like some narcan?

It's so crazy, man. Oh, the world is so crazy. I would be lost without you. This is my psychotherapy session, I would be in a I would have to take like psilocybin mushrooms to deal with everything going on in my brain.
