See, he knows we were just talking about this. Yeah, that was weird. Listen, there's a difference, okay?

There's people who purport to be in one lane and then another lane. Okay, it doesn't mean they're not on the same baseball team. You have starting pitchers on a baseball team, and you have relief pitchers. They're on the same team, they have the same goals to win games, correct?

To win games, honestly and ethically, right? You don't like cheaters, right? But they have different roles, so you have opinion people in this space who rely on reporting and hopefully get the facts right. But it's largely dependent on who's going to come on and what they're saying and when they're saying it. If you have guest segments, whatever it may be.

But then you have journalists, journalists job, if they say they're doing their job like they're supposed to do. It is not to be opinion hosts, it's to give you the facts and allow you to formulate an opinion. Okay, that was a total that all melted down yesterday.

That all melted down completely. It was incredible to watch what I saw yesterday. So you may have heard the breaking news that Fox Corp. settled their lawsuit with Dominion. Dominion sued them for some alleged misstatements on the air, insinuating that Fox put them on the air maliciously. Fox fought back and said these were newsworthy claims.

We were reporting the news. There's simply no way in a live show with guests to fact check every single thing that goes on. Joe, you've been in the media business 30 years, you have people come on your show, politicians who say all kinds of things. I don't understand what they were claiming.

So this turned out to be a bizarre case. They settled. I'll leave it up to you for you to decide if you think that was the right decision or the wrong decision. They obviously don't consult me for that stuff. I have nothing to do with this at all.

But what was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen? I think ever seen, and it's related to this specific thing. Media lawsuits, the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. One of the lawyers for Dominion after the settlement comes out and gives a little mini presser. And actually, thanks to people in the left wing media for helping them out in their case against the media. The most bizarre thing I've seen in a media lawsuit, I think ever here, take a look yourself. One last thank you, which is really to all of you for being with us on this journey. We appreciate what you've done to help us and to help expose what we were able to discover over the course of this process.

And so thank you, and we'll see you at the next one, folks. I've never seen anything like that. That the lawyer for in a lawsuit against the media's ability to cover stories in live time, thanking the media for attacking another media organization. I've never seen anything like it.

Listen, I'm going to tell you, yesterday's settlement and this lawsuit in general poses a really grave threat to media everywhere. It doesn't matter what your ideological tilt is, I mean, we all get CNN and MSNBC have a left wing bent, that's not breaking news.

Everybody knows that it's the worst kept secret in the media business. Obviously, you could probably make a good case. Fox has a conservative bent as well. Some conservatives might challenge that, too.

The point is, people have different opinions on it, and I know working there, no one tells me what to say. Joe's called unfiltered for a reason. We air segments. I've never had any issues at all.

I can only tell you the truth.

But I'm curious here as to what the standard is. And Joe, you know?

Feel free to put your input in. You've been doing this a lot longer than I have. I mean, this, folks, I'm not trying to be silly or coy, and I know I always tell you, pose a question, not an assertion.

A question is better. I'm honestly posing a question not to elicit a response in a way to be silly, but because I'm genuinely curious myself. What's the standard now? So if Hillary Clinton were to be a guest on the Dan Bongino show, probably would never happen, but who knows?

One day she may come on and say, I want to come on your show. I don't know. We're the second biggest conservative podcast. Maybe she wants to give it, we'd give her a fair shot.

If she comes on the air on my show, right? Because now it's a live stream, it's 11.06 and 40 seconds.

If she comes on the show and insists that there's a peepee tape of Donald Trump in Russia. And it was used as blackmail material to collude to steal an election. A claim obviously ridiculous and absurd, refuted by a federal investigation by a guy who doesn't even like Trump and Bob Mueller. Can we be sued?

And is that a Is that a legitimate case? Listen, I'm not a lawyer. I'm asking because I'm really curious what the standard is now. Well, you may say, well, the standard is, you can't air false claims.

Well, what if we're not making them? I mean, like, I said, Joe, you've been at WCBM forever, people call in on the phone line, Hey, is this Joe? OK? I'm the guest in your next segment.

People say stuff all the time, so is the suggestion that you're supposed to stop the show, say, hold on, let me check that claim, you said. Maryland had 7 percent growth last year in income tax revenue. Stand by.

I'll be back. I'm not, no, folks, this may sound like me being a me, being an ass, I'm not. I am really curious as to what the standard is.

What's the standard?

I mean, the best I think you can do is to invite the opposition party on at a later date, which we do on my Fox Show all the time. They never want to come on. Democrats, we have a segment called the Rebuttal, Why don't we do it more often, debating Democrats? You want to know the hard truth.

Because they never want to come on.

Folks, I've never seen anything like this. I'm really confused. Moving forward, what the standard is for the media, and the media, by the way, includes opinion hosts.

Here, I mean, I'm going to prove it to you. Canicoa put this. It's 21 minutes long. Joe had a little brain meltdown. He's like, What do you mean?

It's 22 seconds. I'm like, Dude, you got me? I'm like, Am I reading this wrong? And I sent you another word because nobody else saw what you saw, I know.

I'm like, what is he talking about? I'm like, Joe, cut this in about a minute, 38. This goes on for what? twenty one minutes, Joe? It's a long video.

You want to see it, you go to Canicoa, he does some good work over there. But this is a compilation of left wing Democrat lawmakers. It's only about a minute.

Thirty eight seconds This goes on for twenty one minutes. A college professors, Democrats, liberal media hosts suggesting that voting machines are somehow can are corrupted or can be corrupted, and that inner and elections can be interfered in. These are all Democrats, so I'm curious, with this new standard the Democrats are trying to lay down.

I'm genuinely curious, are all of these people? Should they be banned from the show? My guess is yes, based on this new standard, because these are clearly, many of these clearly are likely false claims here. This is Democrats doing the same thing. Fox was sued over.

Take a listen, Virginia just stopped using touch screen computer voting because it's so vulnerable. We need to look at all the voting machines. Every secretary of state needs to be, you know, assisted in making sure that they are not being hacked and attacked. I continue to think that our voting machines are too vulnerable.

The researchers have repeatedly demonstrated that ballot recording machines and other voting systems are susceptible to tampering. Even hackers with limited prior knowledge, tools, and resources are able to breach voting machines in a matter of minutes. In 2018, electronic voting machines in Georgia and Texas deleted votes for certain candidates or switch votes from one candidate to another. The biggest seller of voting machines is doing something that violates Cybersecurity 101, directing that you install remote access software. Which would make a machine like that, you know, a magnet for fraudsters and hackers. These voting machines can be hacked quite easily.

You could easily hack into them. It makes it seem like all these states are doing different things, but in fact, three companies are controlling that. It is the individual voting machines that some pose that pose some of the greatest risk. There are a lot of states that are dealing with antiquated machines, right? Which are vulnerable to being hacked. Workers were able to easily hack into an electronic voting machine.

It was possible to switch votes. Forty three percent of American voters use voting machines that researchers have found have serious security flaws, including back doors. We know how vulnerable now our systems were. We know I know the hackathon that took place last year, where virtually every machine was broken into fairly quickly. Again, folks, these are Democrats asking some of the very same questions.

About voting, voting processes, voting integrity, election integrity.

You can watch the whole video, it's 21 minutes, plus this goes on and on and on. It would take up a third of the show.

Are they not allowed on the air?

These are fundamentally serious questions that a constitutional republic. Are they not allowed on the air anymore? are they not allowed on the air anymore? Because you can't have it both ways? And Joe, tell me if I'm wrong either. What they're saying and questioning about machines are legitimate lines of inquiry, which they are voting processes, right, or they're not.

They're fairy tales, totally made up and lies, and then those people shouldn't be on the air, right? Am I? Is there an option?

Yeah, and we could get in trouble because we just had them on we, but we darn right.

Are we going to get sued, right? We just played Mark Water, Hillary Clinton, and was it Zoe Lofgren and Marcia Kaptur and Amy Klobuchar? Are we going to get sued? I don't know.

I don't know. I'm willing to stand up for our ability and the left wing media's ability to speak freely on the air. And if that's part of the process, then that's part of the process. But it's clearly a newsworthy item, not an effort to defame anyone. To broadcast lawmakers with massive power in the Senate and the Congress suggesting we have problems with voting, that's clearly a newsworthy item on a news program.

I'm unsure what the standard is. I ask you not to forget either, that it's CNN and MSNBC taking an insane victory lap yesterday. That their ability in the media to report on news items has now been severely compromised by them. Going on the record, suggesting that every single thing uttered by a person on TV must be lifetime fact checked or something. I don't think they understand the damage they did to their own networks because they're the ones that lied to the public. About the peepee tape, about collusion, about the laptop, about government spying. I asked CNN to explain this now.

They're going to be a lawsuit on this as a statute of limitations. Up. Here's an article from back in 2017. That date's wrong. This is 2017 British intelligence passed.

Trump associates communications with Russians onto U.

S counterparts.

Folks, please look up this article yourself, don't take my word for it. You think I'm making up the URL AI created it? wait.

Go back, go back to that article, I'm not making this up. This is still on CNN's website. British intelligence passed Trump associates communications with Russians onto U.S.

Counterparts I.

E They were spying on Trump. The article is up there still on CNN. That's ridiculous, dude. We have cited this article.

How many times? maybe a hundred? It's on my, it's in my, it's in my footnotes, on my book, there's. CNN reported they were spying on Trump yet.

April 2017.

I figured that here you just you put the today's article right about you. So, here's CNN recently fact checking the exact same claim that Obama and Biden spy on the Trump campaign. They wrote about it.

Here's their conclusion, Joe, This is comprehensively wrong.

I, he's, you know, Joe? He's like, Please stop trying, please. He's like, you're giving me a headache. It's early, I got a long day today.

He's like, You really hurt my feelings here. This is just really stupid, yeah, is it? Can CNN now be sued?

CNN is concluding their own reporting is quote comprehensively wrong. It's right there, it's, it's right there, man, that's read it.

Where's the lawsuit? The answer is, there shouldn't be a lawsuit. CNN's first story was accurate, CNN's second story was not accurate. But you know what they're going to say.

And they've got a darn good case, they're going to say, well, in our opinion, that didn't constitute spying, it was unauthorized surveillance. All right, it's an opinion.

It's an opinion you're not going to win that case. The point I'm trying to tell you is they're contradicting their own reporting.

This is I've never seen anything like this. I'm defending CNN. This has been so bad and weird, this is freaking crazy.

It gets even worse. Believe it or not, here's Alison Camerota. I don't know what her issue is. Since she left Fox. She seems extremely bitter at Fox.

Don't know the circumstances did some hits with Alison. Camerota did not work there when she worked there.

We only crossed paths. When I was a guest on the network. I didn't find her to be candid, particularly savvy about media stories, tried to explain to her an ATF story one time.

She got completely lost on the air, but here she is. She's very upset about this whole thing. I'm just curious she works at CNN.

Was she upset about them? Lying about the spygate scandal, too? the PP scandal, the Russia laptop hunter scandal? She didn't seem to even say anything about that. Here, take a listen.

Are you surprised about what Fox did?

I haven't been surprised by any of this, nor am I surprised by the settlement. I predicted there would be a settlement all along. Because Fox doesn't want to air its dirty laundry in a court case. And forgive me, I don't share quite Ellie's, I guess, being impressed at the outcome. This is half of what Dominion asked for. let's remember, and yes, obviously, it's a big windfall for Dominion.

It's chump change. For Fox, they make more than a billion dollars a year, their news division, and so this is, I think this is a victory for Fox. They don't have to put their big stars on the stand, and they didn't even have to issue a public apology.

When you guys say that they admitted that they lied, no, they didn't, they're saying that. We acknowledge the court's findings that certain claims about Dominion to be false, that doesn't say we lied, that says they're false, and they say certain claims, they're not even saying they made those claims.

They're not even saying which hosts of theirs made their claims. I think that this is the best outcome that Fox could ever have hoped for. Once they got themselves into this mess. Okay, this is just now. She's just being silly.

Nobody won in this thing. What was it? 787 million? Oh yeah, that's a huge win. What is she even talking about? The irony is, this is one of those scenarios where there are everybody loses.

Everybody loses, everyone loses. I don't even think Dominion understands how deeply everyone's lost here. You know how hesitant people are gonna be in the future to report on. Let's say, you know, with AI, let's say in the future, there's a real hack of a genuine, widespread, countrywide hack of election systems. Let's say AI does it right.

Maybe far off in the future, but say it happens, you think people are gonna wanna report on that in the future. Imagine it's absolutely authentic, it happens, you know, something happened. Vote totals paper ballots don't match up.

There's a massive AI hack. Whatever it is, no one's gonna report on that, except left-wing networks if it benefits them because they're safe.

I'm gonna show you another clip coming up from Oliver Darcy, the biggest phony at CNN. A guy who used to be an affiliate of CampusReform..org and ran a website like exposing leftists or something. The guy, anyone who knew him at the blaze, said he was a total grifter. He was really cringy and very weird around people and they got rid of him or he left. Whatever it was, he may have resigned, I'm not sure.

But then he figured he was gonna go over to CNN and grift off them. This guy used to pretend to be a conservative. He's on the air yesterday, this guy at the PP network taking a victory lap again. Totally clueless as to this new media ecosystem they brought in today, where no one's gonna wanna air anything, anyone says.

If there's even a remote possibility that it could be questioned, you're gonna put Democrats on the air. After that, you're nuts. Quick break Today's show brought to you by my friends at Sniff of the Coffee.

Jim GEESley It's Joe Biden. we need Joe Biden. Joe sniff it, sniff. You don't drink this coffee, Joe Biden. he don't. you know why? No, not you, Joe Joe Biden.

Bad coffee won't survive 10 minutes in this house. It's like playing a bad guitar solo in Joe's house. You ain't gonna last long, Joe's having none of it. So I want you to watch this video.

This is Oliver Darcy having another one of his on-air meltdowns. He's so upset. There was a settlement in this case. But if you listen to this, I cut this. I had Joe, and I shouldn't say I cut it Joe, but I asked Joe to cut it at a very specific point.

I want you to pretend for a second that this isn't Oliver Darcy CNN goofball, that this is an actual legitimate journalist on CNN. And I want you to listen to this and pretend for a moment that he's talking about CNN and their coverage of the pee-pee tape. The clip 100 works. Listen to yourself. We're not gonna see this public trial where people like Murdoch would have had to answer to this jury. Why they allow these deranged conspiracy theories to take hold on the network's air? Despite, as we know, as a result of this trial, as a result of the discovery, that they knew these lies were not true, that they were unhinged from reality.

We're not gonna see that process take place in court, Jake. I know that there were a lot of people that wanted this process to take place in court. Because outside the media defamation case. This was also a really, to some extent, a trial built about, made about democracy and democracy at large. In an election, he deranged conspiracy theories, he could easily be talking about his own network and the pee-pee hoax easily.

It's just, you understand, they'll get no negative feedback whatsoever. You got this big brawl breaking out right now on the right between DESantis and Trump guys, who's the most conservative, who's not? You could set up a UFC match tomorrow.

Listen, our people, the pro-lifers, they don't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat, you're not with them on their issues, you're out, not the left man. You almost have to admire, in a tragic way, their Borg-like manner, where they're immune to shame, they're totally immune to shame.

Here's Oliver Darcy. I've only put this up. I don't know 10, 15 times about Oliver. This is when he was at Campus Reform, which is a conservative organization he used to run. A website called ExposingLeftist..com, a website driven, a video driven website dedicated to exposing the inherent failures found at the core of liberal philosophies. It's the same guy.

It's the same guy I know, I can already tell you what he's gonna say. I had an awakening or whatever. Sure you did, buddy called a paycheck. I don't know, awakens.

A lot of people who don't have any principles, I'm sure you did. You had some grand awakening, the same guy.

Here's what got Joe and I before the show.

Listen, call me crazy. But I still maintain a little bit of hope, a little bit of hope. I have to, because the world can be very dark. Sometimes. I maintain a little bit of hope. That there are some guys at least trying to do news. And, you know, Tapper, I really thought better of the guy than this.

And my expectations aren't high for CNN people, I gotta tell you, but I really thought, here's Tapper, who again purports to be a journalist. Not an opinion guy. You're an opinion guy, folks. We have a lot of fun here. Laugh away. I'm not even suggesting laughing's a bad thing, but laughing at a media story you're supposed to be covering as a journalist, not an opinion guy. I don't get this at all.

This is what Joe was talking about before the show. I mean, for your position, absolutely unprofessional. Can you imagine Fox like Bret Baier doing this? Laughing at him? No, whether you like Bret or not, I'm telling you, Bret's as serious as a heart attack.

Here, here's Tapper. He thinks this story's hilarious, saying this, by the way, on the PP Tape Network. Check this out. Fox trying to put a positive face on what can only be interpreted as one of the ugliest and most embarrassing moments in the history of journalism.

Fox issued a statement saying Quote We are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute dispute with Dominion voting systems. We acknowledge the court's rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false. The settlement reflects, I'm sorry, this is gonna be difficult to say with a straight face. This settlement reflects Fox's continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. We are hopeful that our sorry.

What a lightweight man, man. totally, completely unprofessional really in that space, just embarrassing. I mean, listen, if you're pitching your gig or your act, or your shtick to a bunch of left-wing radicals, it's perfect. I mean, good for you, man.

Good act you put on, but see, the whole idea is that you're pretending to be a journalist, but that's not what a journalist does. He doesn't levy an opinion through humor based on the case. Oh, this case is hilarious, is it? Is it, Jake?

I'm curious because I'm wondering what would happen if you were sued for allowing footage about people who purported that the Russian collusion hoax was real. I wonder what would happen to you if you think that was funny, I bet your answer would be, What was I supposed to do? Fact-check them live on the air.

I don't have the capability to do that, I have the guy on the show. They had a serious allegation, which is ironic, that some of the same things some of the Fox people said you thought was really funny. Jake seems to forget this story, too. NatIonal Review CNN settles lawsuit brought by Covington Catholic student Nicholas Sandman.

He sued for what a couple hundred million.

CNN only had to do some basic homework on that. They aired the allegation. They lost that one. Kind of ironic, really.

I mean, these are media people, folks. Just. I mean, a tough day for everyone and I'll leave the segment here with this. I am genuinely curious, moving forward, what the standard is now for reporting on what politicians and prominent public figures say? I understand the legal ramifications.

Defamation with actual malice for public figures. I've been defamed. I had a lawsuit based on it where a media outlet implied that I was fired from a job I absolutely was not fired from. And they knew it. That case didn't work out because the judge ultimately ruled in the case, which I thought was odd.

That, Joe, you remember this? That it's not defamatory to suggest someone was fired, even if they weren't. And even my lawyer was scratching his head, like, huh, they knew it? they knew I wasn't, they sent me a text.

They told me, Hey, I heard you left. Yes, I left, meaning I wasn't fired. I left. I chose to leave.

Now I'm really confused again. Even in losing that case, I thought I understood it all right. Judge didn't agree with the guy, thought it was a silly decision, but respect it. Gotta move on. He didn't think it was actual malice.

I don't know what it is anymore. Are we not allowed to have Hillary Clinton on? Hillary Clinton? Every time? She goes on, insists the election was stolen by a bunch of Russian bots in Russia, a ridiculous, outlandish, fabricated fairytale claim.

Is every network opening themselves up to being sued? You know what, folks? I'm not a lawyer, but I have a number of really solid, strong legal friends who've suggested to me you might.

So I'd warn everyone out there, you better keep Hillary Clinton and Adam Schiff off the air. Remember Adam Schiff looking right into the camera on Tucker's show? You guys remember this? I tell, Tucker says, Tell the audience. You have evidence of Russian collusion. I have evidence of Russian collusion with every looked right in the camera and said it.

Is Adam Schiff open to be sued right now?

No idea I wouldn't have him on your network. You're taking a big chance, all right, let me get to my next sponsor. And this is the Soros angle of this show.

Because folks, the Soros people and the lawsuit people I believed involved in this have been dying to censor conservative media outlets for a long time. This stuff is all tied together. They do it through fact checkers, they do it through lawfare. the law is warfare.

This is actively happening right now in front of your face, and a lot of this is funded by the Soros machine. I'll show you what happened to us yesterday with another fake fact check, and by the way we get fact check, it means double down. It means they're scared of something.

You're gonna love this system. So wake up this morning, go to the Facebook page and boom there it is another fake fact check. Now. This happens every time we're used to it.

Let me give you the cycle. I've explained it before, my Facebook page has been picking up a lot of steam again. We were in the Facebook has this crowdtangle thing, which measures the top posts of the day, so I think last week we were in the top 10 posts nationally three times.

So whenever that happens, the liberals they get, they start wetting their diapers and crapping themselves, right? Mommy's gotta clean them up. So it winds up happening. And a wink and a nod goes out to these fact-checking organizations. They then go find some post on my page, they pick out some random thing.

They, out of context, do a fact check on it and it shuts the page down again, or it shuts down. The distribution happens every time. It's been happening for five years. Facebook's a total clown show.

It's a joke. Why do you stay on it, honestly, at this point? Just because owning the Libs is a lifestyle, and I find it hilarious that they spend all their time preoccupied with my Facebook page. I think it's kind of funny. If you really want to know the reason, so here's the fact check.

It's by this tool bag. D'Angelo Gore, a obviously very dopey human being. Let's show D'Angelo here. Yes, not a very bright guy. This is from his Twitter avatar. Looks very serious, Joe.

He's even got some lighting, he's got some kind of like lighting on one side of the face. I think he's a very serious guy. D'Angelo Gore, not serious enough, however, to realize this article is hilarious in its stupidity. This is embarrassing.

I'm not even gonna. It's so stupid that it's hard to even believe that a guy with no dignity like D'Angelo Gore would even put his name on it. FBI Access request It's not evidence that the White House lied about not being involved in the Mar-a-Lago raid. Folks, I'm not even gonna go through the whole thing, I'll just it's tied up quickly.

The White House had to have known what was going on. There was a special access request for them to be able to look at records, classified records in possession of the Trump team. They absolutely knew what was going on. Here's the problem, there's twofold.

The Biden administration and this whole SOROs fact-checking network. They realized the White House knew what was going on with this Trump classified documents thing. The White House had a role in it. They also know that Biden's got his own classified documents scandal. So they've gotta make the Trump one appear worse, and they've gotta make it appear Biden had nothing to do with it. So people with no human dignity like D'Angelo Gore, come in to run interference. That article should say to you now we should double down on the White House knowing about the Mar-a-Lago raid, because they're definitely worried about something.

That's all. How do I know that? I know it because this fact-checking network is all a Soros-based operation. My editor at Bonginoreport.com mug here Bongino Report mug.

Matt Palumbo He has a book coming out about this. You have to cover the book. I know I'm going all out of order, but show to cover the book, he's got a book coming out. You can pre-order it now. Called Fact-checking, the Fact-checkers.

We published it for him. It's how the left hijacked and weaponized the fact-checking industry. Pick it up, Pre-order it today. It's a really good book.

I got a sneak peek at it, but he did a piece for The New York Post where he covers exactly this. This is all a Soros-based operation How George Soros funds fact-checkers to silence dissent. So, Politifact and a lot of these other companies, they're funded by Soros Group and other left-leaning groups.

One of the projects of the Poynter Institute, specifically, is this international fact-checking network. Joe, the IFCN. That sounds very serious, very serious now.

They were launched in 2015, with its initial funding coming from the National Endowment for Democracy, the Omidyar Network, Google, Facebook, the Bill Gates Foundation, and the George Soros Open Society Foundation. The whole crew, man, the whole crew, Pierre Omidyar, all of them. So all left-wingers are funding these fact-checkers to do left-wing stuff, which is to censor conservative content.

It's not to fact-check, they don't actually believe in fact-checking, so the IFCN that they fund, the International Fact-checking network sounds very serious. This is quite fascinating. They act as a high body.

High body that doesn't sound too radical? I don't know, a high body of fact-checking organization.

There's a chant, too. I didn't know that there's a Joe's engaged in a chant. This is so weird. I didn't know there was a chant.

And apparently, Joe, they're united under a shared code of principles, maybe they say the shared code when they're chanting. And a mission to bring together fact-checkers or whatever. And they note that amongst the well-known organizations affiliated with this Soros-funded group, the IFCN is FactCheck..org, the article I just pointed to.

Every time, folks, whenever a fact-checker harps in on a story, you better be damn well sure. The Biden administration liberals are freaked out about it. Now double down on the White House. Knowing about Mar-a-Lago. Because now, you know, they got something to hide. And they go to these useful idiots like D'Angelo Gore, who's got very good lighting in that picture. Here's how I know they're really, really worried about this. They had a crime hearing up in New York the other day.

The House, they did a road hearing, and Democrats want to know, unlike the border, where Democrats ducked it. Daniel Goldman One of the biggest morons up of Congress, a Democrat from New York, this guy was one of the biggest pee-pee hoaxers out there. He won a seat in Congress magically.

Here's how, you know something's up with this George Soros-funded network of fact-checkers and everything going on right now. With Soros and the DAS. Whenever they drop the you talk about Soros, we're gonna accuse you of anti-semitism, which is hilariously stupid, right? Whenever they drop that, they are really worried about something, whenever they start trying to hide something, it means double down.

Here's Goldman at the hearing, claiming again, you're definitely an anti-semite. If you start looking into the funding of George Soros and all this stuff, check this out. We are deeply concerned about anti-semitism in New York, which has increased more than 400 in the past eight years.

Now today, we've already heard two members of the majority reference what one called the sorosization of the criminal justice system, with the sorosization. George Soros taking money from George Soros, No George Soros-funded rogue prosecutor is the Soros prosecutors. The George Soros is that all the Soros-backed district attorneys are doing this everywhere. It leads to a Soros Supreme Court justice, directly funded by George Soros.

Folks, whenever they do this, you know we are onto something. If they've thrown this charge out ridiculously so many times, it means absolutely nothing. It has no sticky effect whatsoever. You know, Joe and I chat about this a lot because I've been in this business a while, Joe, longer than me. But I'm telling you, 30 years ago this was a big deal. If you accuse someone of being an anti-semite or a racist, it was a big deal.

Oh yeah, you'd be forced into days of statements and other statements. You know, news stories, you know, when did you stop beating your wife? type stories, right? It's been thrown out so much and so ridiculously and so obviously falsely that nobody even pays attention.

A matter of fact, it has the opposite effect, it says to conservatives. Okay, you're making this charge up because you're scared of something and hiding behind it. Now it's time to double down. The same thing with the fact checkers.

It makes the term meaningless, it makes it, and the crazy thing is is, believe me, anti-semitism is very real. And it's not a small group of people either. But the term, he's right, it's almost become meaningless. Cause now you don't, you have to like triple check.

Every single time someone says, he goes, Wait, did a liberal say it? well, why did they say it, you know? Cause it the same thing with racism. It's thrown out there all the time and you're like, Eh, who said it?

Who said it? Adam Schiff Oh, whatever.

ILHAN OMAR I mean, gosh, I mean, really all right. I want to get coming up next, Ilhan. His interview last night against part two with Tucker Folks. He says something about an off switch for AI, but and he's a very smart guy.

I'm going to ask this question. If AI is smarter than us, that's why we need it, cause it's smarter than us. Correct may not be more creative, but definitely has more processing power than us. We're assuming that it hasn't already figured out a way around the off switch.

Coming up next, the last sponsor? We appreciate your patience. Good companies.

I want to talk to you, Patriot Mobile. I don't know about you, but it takes a lot to shock me these days.

Thanks for plugging the fact checker book. I always forget sometimes. Well, I'm so used to the recorded podcast show I Forget We're Actually live. Yes, Matt, you're welcome, you're welcome.

Hold on, I'll text you now you're welcome. The Fact Checker book is great fact checking the fact checkers. All right, Matt Palumbo, I almost spelled you wrong.

And Matt does also write the best headlines in the business on Bongino Report. He is absolutely correct, but you're welcome, Matt. The book is fantastic, I got a sneak peek at it.

So Elon Musk did part two last night, the interview with Tucker Carlson. Listen, you know, the AI thing frightens me, it does. I'm not trying to scare you, I'm not trying to create unnecessary anxiety.

It frightens me because I'm a risk assessment guy and the problem I have with Black Swan. Events like a singularity event, where AI becomes somewhat self-aware and decides that we're a problem for it and its existence. That sounds to me like an issue. Because it's infinitely smarter than we are, based on sheer processing speed, and would probably find a way to wipe us out. And here's the crazy thing, folks, it's not even hard if AI hijacked the entire internet. I mean, from releasing viruses to detonating nuclear weapons, to creating malicious proteins, to shutting off supply lines for antibiotics, to poisoning water.

I mean, I didn't even put the that's what four or five I just mentioned extemporaneously off the top of my head. If an infinite computing power wanted to wipe us out, poisoning fertilizer supplies for our foods, the fields would be wiped out. I mean, I can think of probably a hundred different ways AI could kill us in a day. That sounds to me like a problem. So Elon has asked this question, but he's obviously worried about the danger.

And Elon says, Well, you know, maybe we should develop some off switch. I know he's thought about this, but what if AI has already thought about? That? Reminded me of a scene in the Matrix. But listen to this first. Check this out what would be the threshold that you'd have to pass to warrant the government cutting off your power or cutting off your signal?

Well, I mean, I guess if we lost control of some super AI.

Like, for some reason, like the things that would normally work to do a passive shutdown, like the administrator passwords if they somehow stop working.

Where we can't slow down or.

You know, I'm not sure, I don't have a precise answer, but if there's something that we're concerned about.

And are unable to stop it with the software commands, then we'll probably want to have some kind of hardware off switch. Yeah, I agree. The problem is we're assuming that an infinitely smarter intelligence, again with regard to processing, hasn't already figured out an end around about that. You know, I get it, it's a movie, the matrix, obviously.

We don't need to be silly about it. But even the Matrix, like these writers, the Wachowski brothers, took probably 10 minutes to think up this scheme. They're like, yeah, they tried to remember the Matrix scheme. Like they tried to shut off the artificial intelligence and they unplugged it. Then it used the power of the sun.

And then the human beings nuked the world to shut out the power of the sun because of the nuclear particulate matter in the air, and the world went dark. And then they used human beings for batteries. Listen, it's a movie.

But, you know, again, we're assuming that an AI hasn't already thought of an end around here.

And he says, You know, I guess the time to shut it off will be when we lost control of it. How do we know we haven't lost control already? How do you know again? This artificial intelligence isn't already just biding its time. I'm not nearly as confident as this as some other people are, folks, I'm extremely worried about this stuff.

And I am not overselling it to you, I have no reason to do that. You know me, I don't run with stories until I'm sure of it. We've left stories on the table. Because I wasn't absolutely sure, absolutely sure.

All right, a couple more things I wanna get to. You know, I hate videos. AOC I mean, really, we're all gonna be 10 IQ points dumber after watching this, but this buffoon again, people like this. The reason I air this is because there are real public policy implications to powerful people like AOC.

She's very powerful, a lot of liberal groups listen to her, a lot of Democrat lawmakers are very scared of her. Up on Capitol Hill. It's a fact, folks, I hear it from people all the time.

She just doesn't know what she's doing, she's very dumb and she's up there talking. It was this Jordan Klepper, that lefty guy who does, like the man on the street stuff for the left. And they're in Jacobi Hospital, which I believe is up in the Bronx. And she's talking about how law enforcement and violent crime, how we need to respond to it like a public health measure.

What does that even mean? A guy's stabbing a woman to the death and the death on the street, and you bring it out? A psychiatrist, What do you think this is like? Who's the Doctor? Joe from Halloween, played by Donald Pleasance? What's his name?

You bring him out for Michael Myers. Hey, really, what the hell you think this is a public health problem? Michael Myers doesn't care. Have you ever seen a sociopath?

Let me tell you something I have a lot of them. I used to sit there in the cells and talk to these people after they committed crimes. Folks, they don't care one bit, they don't care about public health.

They don't care about doctors, they see nothing wrong with what they just did. They have no ability to sympathize or empathize with another human being. You understand that they are as dead inside as these characters in these horror movies.

And she wants to deal with it as a public health problem. Listen to this crap. There is a lot of discussion around what progressives can do about violence in a big city. What the data has showed us is that if you respond to violence as a public health issue instead of as an incarceration issue, violence decreases. And that's what we're doing here at Jacobi Hospital.

Are there cops here at the hospital that are addressing the issue? Hell, no, did someone just say that in the chat? That's hilarious? He just told me. Someone in the chat's like, Dan, you're too afraid to talk about Dominion.

What?

He was late to the. You know, sometimes better not say anything, and we welcome you, you're welcome here, obviously, but then to say something, it looked like a tool. Maybe you should when this is over and it goes on podcast and rerun, whatever we call it, maybe you should watch the first half hour of the show.

Joe Man, what kind of producer are you? You were gay. You guys are so freaking lazy. I know. Let me do a show with not putting dominion in there.

Holy Moses, shameful you two, you're both fired. I need a totally incompetent new team. Speaking of incompetent and phony and fake, here's AOC.

Here's video one. This is who you're dealing with. The woman's gonna get you killed or hurt in the street if you follow her public policing policies and she will. I was there. I've seen New York City policing at its worst.

People will get killed if you listen to her. I want you to listen to this first video. I want you to listen to her tone, her affect, the way she talks, the accent she uses on the words. Listen to how she talks. Here and I want to show you another one coming up next, check this out.

When Donald Trump tapped into this idea of make America great again.

There was times of economic opportunity, wages rose until the 1970s. Okay, very plain spoken, she tries to sound articulate, lucid. Now she's in front of the National Action Network, a primarily Black audience, and she sounds a little bit different.

Check this out. I'm proud to be a bartender.

Ain't nothing wrong with that? AOC Sandy, Sandy Ocasio-Cortez. She wants to be like an around the way girl. I'm being around the way girl, She wants to be Jenny from the block.

So pathetic, man, so freaking pandering and pathetic. Let me tell you something.

I ran in Maryland, Joe. Does Maryland have a rather large Black population of voters? Oh, yes, yes, yes, couple people here and there, well represented, yes.

Well represented is right, probably the wealthiest majority minority county in the country, Prince George's County, Maryland. Joe knows well. Oh yeah, I'm telling you, I knocked on probably 10,000 doors there between those two campaigns.

You would never, in a million years, catch me doing that. Treat people like human beings, man, don't pander to them. That's the kind of person you're dealing with. AOC What a fake, total fraud.

All right, couple more stories I want to get to. Oh my knee. oh gosh, I get this knee thing. If I lean the wrong way sideways, sometimes I think things popped on me.

The abortion debate. I just want to correct a little bit of misinformation out there, folks. I'm pro-life, I get it. There's a big tent out there in the Republican Party, not about the life issue, but about how we should fight it.

Some say we should do it gradually, some say we should take the wins in front of us. Some suggest 15 weeks, six weeks. I don't like misinformation, however, there's a great piece by Ryan Anderson. The Wall Street Journal Republicans can reset the abortion debate.

And you've been told by lefty pollsters and others that the abortion debate's a total loser. And any Republican who runs on it anywhere is going to get smoked and lose. In historic fashion, well, Ryan Anderson says, Really, that's kind of strange. Because Desantis who, by the way, signed into law a pain-capable bill which protects babies after 15 weeks and then just moved it to six. He won by 19 points. Well, that's just DeSantis. No, it's not just Desantis. In Ohio, Governor Mike DeWine won last year by 25 points after signing a heartbeat law.

All right, Dan, that's just two, No, there's more. Governor Brian Kemp in Georgia and Texas Governor Abbott both won decisive victories after signing heartbeat laws. Senator Marco Rubio was elected by 16 points after expressing strong support for a 15-week federal limit.

Folks, the issue's not a loser. how people talk about it can be a loser. That's the issue. You do have to talk about it in a way that's sympathetic to people. You have things like crisis, pregnancies and other things at a really tragic situation.

But don't give up on this issue. We can't defend human life and this party is absolutely worthless, and I'm not giving up on this fight. And, by the way, in that Wisconsin Supreme Court race, as they noted.

The guy who lost the Supreme Court justice seat in Wisconsin lost by the exact same amount he ran last time. All right, let me get to this last article. I just wanna show you this one. This is on my newsletter. Please check it out Bongino.com slash newsletter.

So there's a group of quote patriotic millionaires calling for a 90 tax on income over 100 million patriotic millionaires. That's hilarious. So a couple of things here. Number one. I invited the guy on my Fox show this weekend.

Not sure if he's gonna show up or not. He hasn't answered yet. He wants to pay more taxes, He's a millionaire, so here's my answer.

Pay more freaking taxes, dude, just give your money to the government. nobody's stopping you. nobody is stopping you. you wanna pay more taxes. Stroke a check.

Stroke the check, bro, get your friends together, your patriotic millionaires, leave all your money to the government and knock yourself out. Nobody's bothering you go ahead and do it, they don't wanna do it.

They wanna take other people's money, so we invited him on the Fox Show this weekend. We'll see what happens unfiltered at nine. I doubt he's gonna show up, but if he's so patriotic and proud, then come on the show and defend it.

You wanna give more money to the G? Go right ahead, stroke that check, baby.

He's got it up. Now. There's a Treasury..gov website, you can voluntarily pay more taxes. Notice. Thank you, guy.

Nobody's doing that, none of these guys are actually doing that, they just want you to do it. Buffoons All right, thanks for tuning in, folks.
