of his hits. >> look, look, um, so, look, look, very few schools are closing. over 59% are still open. 95% are still open. and i got strom thurman to vote for it again, i'm taking too long answering your questions, i apologize. i think that. >> pete: despite plenty of awkward pauses and lots of whispering, biden made sure to pat himself on the back for the failure his presidency has become. >> i didn't overpromise. but i have, probably, outperformed what anybody thought would happen. look, um, i didn't overpromise, but, i think if you take a look at what we have been able to do you would have to acknowledge we made enormous progress. >> pete: yeah, just take a look at the record. not sure what country sleepy joe is waking up in or napping in. but not only have we failed to make progress, however he defines it, under his standard under biden, buff the country is actually moving in the wrong direction. just look at how much more expensive your life has become in joe biden's america. overall prices are up 7%. your food will cost you 6% more if you can find some with bare shelves biden. gas is up almost 50% and energy costs have jumped nearly 30%. that goes straight to your bottom line. but, go on, joe, continue to tell us how good of a job -- how great of a job you're doing. maybe the funniest or the saddest part of all is that biden thinks none of this is his fault. it's those pesky republicans who are tripping him up, fooling him that tom followry and malarkey at every chance. for a man who ran for president under the guise of uniting the country, he sure is doing a lot of dividing. >> one thing i haven't been able to do so far is get my republican friends to get in the game of making things better in this country. i did not anticipate that there would be such a stalwart effort to make sure that the most important thing was that president biden didn't get anything done think about this what are republicans for? what are they for? name me one thing they are for. he loved debating a straw man what the g.o.p. would stand they stand for maybe closed borders, actual borders, states' rights, federalism, protecting the sanctity of life, defending the second amendment, cutting taxes, how about energy independence. that might hit gas prices just a little bit. how about ensuring your personal freedoms when a government wants to lock you down and mandate you. the list goes on and on. what about you and your party, joe? what do you stand for? >> the difference is i'm going to be out on the road a lot making the case around the country country colleagues up for re-election and others making the case of what we did do and what we want to do we need -- >> pete: so the answer is joe biden is going to hit the road, more joe, more hearing his incoherence. that was certainly the answer we were all waiting for. was there an answer in there anywhere? don't worry, he made sure to tell us what his party stands for, and it's only three letters bbb. >> single best way to take the burden off middle class and working class folks is to pass the build back better piece that are things that they are paying a lot of money for now. if you get to trade-off higher gases, putting up with higher price of hamburgers and gas, versus whether or not you are going to have to -- you are going to be able to pay for education and/or, um, child care and the like. i think most people would make the trade. >> pete: man, that inspires a lot of confidence. that's how joe views build back better. it's going to be painful for you but it will win him political points, he thinks. so this is just another example of how joe doesn't actually care about -- about you know what's going on in your life or policy views in your family. administration pay for something more than a failed social spending bill, right? well, biden has spent a lot of time trying to federalize our elections. you know, that whole constitution thing is pesky. and smearing anyone's standing in his way. anyone that doesn't agree with him is, of course, a racist. listen to how joe biden characterized his opponents last week. >> do you want to be the sign -- the side of there king or george wallace. do you want to be on the side of john lewis or bull conner? do you want to be on the side of abraham lincoln or jefferson davis? >> pete: so if you want to keep the federal government out of elections, somehow you are bull conner or george wallace or jefferson davis. and when biden was pressed on it today, he got angry, grumpy. and you won't like him when joe. >> look what i said. go back and read what i said! and tell me if you think i called anyone who voted on the side of the position taken by bull conner that they were bull conner? and that is an interesting reading to make. i assume you got in the journal because you like to write. >> pete: we just played the tape. i think somebody touched a nerve. he had to explain that two or three times. and he never did. that's a perfect encapsulation of biden's speech/preapproved press conference. he tried to gaslight you into believing our country is doing great while it goes to hell around him. and when he was pressed on it, he gets angry, it's your fault, it's the republicans fault. you are not smart enough to understand the amazing things i have done for you. today was classic biden, no sizzleand no substance. joining me now is dan bongino. host of unfiltered. on nights like this you just want to talk to smart people. dan, what was your take today? >> let's get to the good stuff in the speech, first. okay, done. now, let's get onto the actual speech, okay? because there was no good stuff. i sat there, painfully, through two plus hours of that. >> pete: did i too. >> beg egg he could wrap up so i could watch "the five" and not get screened up by this guy on tv, but very important, this is critical, i mean, this being serious for a moment. i know i can be sarcastic. the most damaging political narratives, pete, candidates, anyone else, politicians are ones that they destroy some pre-existing notion you had of who that person was, right? well, that works in the other direction, too. if you are a failure and based on the polling, the majority of americans right now think biden's a failure so that's their pre-existing notion now of who he is. what he wanted to do was change that and give a different narrative, okay? it works the other way, too. none of that happened. he did nothing in this speech, nothing and believe me, i served through various social media accounts to see what the blue checkmark brigade on the left is says too. you know, there is a couple acolytes kissing his butt because that's what they always do. everyone else is like blah blah blah on the whole thing. couple things, some of the absurdities in this speech. he out performed expectations? wait, what? that's like saying like this fighter sucks so bad we expect him to lose 30 seconds in the first round, pete. and he made it 50 and everybody is taking a victory lap like man, this guy is great. he made it 20 seconds more than we thought. out performed expectations. second, he has no apologies for afghanistan? listen, man, you hosted the patriot awards in a very touching moment. i sat next to the table those families who lost those -- the 13. the 13 heroes, heroes, you know, i would like to apologize for him saying you had no apology hijack segment here, inflation his answer for inflation was down right hilarious. so inflation is more money printing fewer goods, right? a simple -- his answer to that this is what we have got to do, pete, print more money in the build back worse plan. people are listening to this like really? a total failure of a speech. >> pete: and his solution was the build back better plan that's never going to pass. i mean, it was never an answer. when he was asked about the three things he wants to do differently. i am going to get out there more often and talk to the people. talk to the experts like think tanks and editorial boards and going to get deeply involved in elections which brings me to next soundbite. he was asked about whether or not if his voting -- so-called voting voting rights bill was not passed 22 midterm elections be fair here is what joe biden said. >> speaking ever voting rights legs if this isn't passed do you still believe the upcoming election will be fairly conducted and its results will be legitimate? >> well, it all depends on, u., whether or not we're able to make the case to the american people that some of this is being set up to try to alter the outcome of the election? >> pete: so, dan, who is sowing doubt in our elections right now? >> wait, that's a great point like, but getting past that which is so obvious it should slam america in the face that the democrats and the media oh my gosh, how dare anyone question election results ever. you can't do that it's hairsy, everybody should be put in prison and hung by your toes for even mentioning it and yet, joe biden just did that and of course -- beyond that the real kind of almost tragically comical portion of this whole thing the democrats have never accepted the results of an election you don't like. you doubt me? go to a search engine and put bush v. gore. they still think al gore won the popular vote in florida. he never won one single recount. democrats still believe that they still think vladimir putin was given donald trump back rubs and they colluded to win the 2016 election and that hillary should be president. stacey abrams thinks she is run for reelections as governor of georgia. so, you know, forgive me the holler outrage when republicans say hey, you know what? , suppress that hunter biden story, it's super weird before the election and wouldn't change people's outcomes based on polling, we are going to ask some questions and then you guys screaming and yelling at us. how dare you question elections. we are going to reserve all of that for joe biden today. we are only going to let him question elections. >> pete: it's amazing not to mention it's so true. did you go down the entire list. they build up a straw man of their opponents to demonize. and this was the guy who was going to unite us. we don't have time for the clip, dan, he went on to compliment -- attempt to compliment mitt romney which says a lot of things, anyway. when mitt romney was a presidential candidate joe biden who said they were going to put you all back in chains. this is a partisan guy who picks his moment and in this point i mean, it's all a fraud. >> pete, listener, i was an agent on george w. bush's detail when there were code pinkerring going you murdered -- you are a murderer and a killer. then all of a sudden donald trump gets in office we didn't think bush was so bad. now the guy, again, who told people romney was going to put them back in chains who harry reid went on the senate floor and accused them basically financial crimes. lying on his tax returns. now mitt romney is some kind of, you know, hero? he beat find saint hood. show some dignity on the left once in a while. >> pete:

out a long time ago. kamala harris is a disaster. and shouldn't be given any responsibility over anything. look no further, of course than the southern border. cbp data indicates in fiscal year 221 officials 7.1 million migrants crossing illegally or seeking asylum. what is our so-called border czar doing about it no, no, no, she is not going to texas or arizona or even mexico going back to south america to track down pesky root causes. will she get anything done this time or will we have a repeat of last disastrous trip. >> okay. >> do you have any plans to visit the border. >> at some

haven't been to the border. >> and i haven't been to europe. >> pete: here now stephen miller founder of america first legal. steve, i want to get your overall reaction to the press conference. but, first, the quick clip as well. joe biden was asked about claims that the trump administration is the root cause to the border crisis. take a listen to what he said on that. >> why are people leaving and how are you going to reform your own system. and we were moving in the right direction under the last administration -- obama-biden administration. but so much damage was done as a consequence of foreign policy decisions of the last president made in latin america, central america, and south america we're having great difficulty making up for the mistakes made in the last four years. >> pete: deefn steven, it's donald trump's fault and kamala harris is going go to south america a second time and fix the root causes. >> well, first of all, joe biden spoke for two hours and he spent all of his time focusing on the wrong border which is ukraine's border and not america's southern border. let's be very clear, what's happening 00 our southern border today and tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that is getting americans killed. killed with drugs, killed with gangs, killed with crime. it's resulting in hospitals being overloaded. our schools being overloaded our police departments being overloaded public health, public financing system. it is ongoing catastrophe. we need to focus on our border here at home. let's be very clear about something. when donald trump left office there was no catch and release. if you crossed illegally, you either went home, you went to mexico, or a willing, safe, third country, period. joe biden inherited that perfect, seemless system. and he ripped it to shred. just like he ripped apart our vetting system that was used to keep out foreign nationals like the individual who committed a terrorist attack at the synagogue. biden owns and biden created the never ending disaster on our border. >> pete: yeah, and kamala harris still can't find her wayed to the border and neither can he. of course everybody knows she is not going to solve the root causes so it's not a real attempt. steve. press conference president trump, president trump attempted to strict answers for him. he would have said get out of the what did you see, 2.0, what do you see at the podium. >> you get glimpses of the real joe biden here and there when he is off note. a great example of this, was the angry snapped, very angry snapped at a reporter asking him about holding republicans, as well as manchin and sinema something grey gations and slave owners by comparing them to bull conner and jefferson davis and george wallace. and he insisted against all reason that the problem lie with the reporter for apparently a failure to grasp english and not understanding the words on the page. there is no way -- and you led with this tonight, there is just no way to read that other than he is comparing republicans and two democrat senators to segregationists and slave owners. it showed a man who is angry and inpatient with the american people for not getting how greatest. that is a losing political strategy. yelling at people, berating them, lecturing to them, barking with them to tell them that they don't understand how great you are. they are not reading things correctly. they don't know. they are confused. they think the store shelves are empty. the store shelves aren't empty. don't you see joe biden is out performing everybody and everything. can't get them to believe something that their own life isn't true. >> pete: you are right. that was the underlying take away you don't understand or appreciate the great things that we are being doing. you are being spun to think otherwise. >> all cable news' fault. they have convinced you that the dollar sin flighted. it's not your pocketbook. >> pete: you are right. it's my fault. i will take it all right. stephen miller, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> thank you so much. thank you. >> pete: all right, coming up, joe biden thinks he is doing excellent job

to be smith. smith is likely to be charged and making first court appearance by friday, pete. >> pete: wow, matt, thank you very much. a rap sheet like that. thank you so much, matt. meanwhile joe biden used today as an opportunity to take victory lap for all of his covid accomplishment. you may be asking what are those accomplishments? for a guy who spent a year campaigning on shutting down utterly crushing the virus, it's going to be gone because joe is in town. he sure seems to have been a disaster in actually dealing with that virus. but if you ask joe, he has got a different tale he will tell you. >> am i satisfied with the way in which we have dealt with, um, covid? and all the things that, that two along with it? yeah, i am satisfied. i think we have done remarkably well. >> pete: once again, joe biden does not have a grasp on what we might call reality. realize we are going to have to live with the virus. covid-19 is not going to give up and accept things you know, just not going to go away. >> pete: where was that? we were going to crush it, now it's not going away. patrice onwuka justin hart you, thank you both for being here. justin, let me start on the covid side of this first. you are one of the people all over the data as it pertains to covid. you understand the reality of what we're up against and the frankly the disconnect between what most politicians talk about. when you look at his shift away from we are not going to crush it well, it's going to stick around, what's your take away from what people should read from this? >> look, context. this war has been ensuing for almost two years now between team apocalypse which includes president biden, dr. fauci, dr. walensky who want to weld you inside your house and outside of your school versus those of us as you mentioned on team reality who have been looking at the data saying hold off, this is not exactly as you purport to be. but, of late, it's been a curious terrible miscommunication because members of team apocalypse are abandoning ship and they are grasping onto the life last few weeks pcr test that we loathe and hate and that dr. fauci wants to put more of 75 days. dr. fauci those are in the hospital are not necessarily there from covid but are there infection. then on this very news channel dr. walensky last week admitted that possibly over the 860,000 supposed deaths from covid, many of those may not be attributable to covid at all. the numbers are wrong, the communication is wrong. and they keep doing the wrong things. >> pete: he was asked about the utter and complete confusion. he claimed in the press conference to say well, it's just because we keep following the science. but time and time again we learn about the science, justin as you know and it should lead us to the opposite conclusion of what our political leaders and so-called scientists are taking us in. patricia, when you watched this press conference, you know, what did you take away? >> i took away that the president lacks a real grasp of exactly what's going on. he continues to gaslight americans into believing that they -- to tell them that they shouldn't believe what they see. whether that's at the grocery store, the gas pump, you know, or with dealing with their children's schools and their children's education. i mean, the fact that it was totally glossed over, the impact on educational black and brown students. you know, the devastating emotional and psychological impact students have had. young girls, suicide among teenage girls rising. he didn't even touch that the softball question about how republicans are going to utilize school closures to their benefit in november? that was thrown at him. is he like oh, yeah, sure. they probably are going to do it. no, there is real anger among parents, righteous anger over how children have been thrown under the bus in advance of, you know, narratives that would expand the government's power, emergency powers just so they can, you know, claim some sort of false victory that as we have seen never materialize. never seem to materialize. justin, if there is one thing you want to hear from a leader right now there as we try to emerge from this, what would it be? real quick? >> send us back to normal. there is no reason to be doing any of this. the risks are very, very low for the vast majority of people. we try to protect

is going to tell us what impact it's having today. the positive impact it's having is that parents are g tion getting to see what's going on in the school system. >> pete: you are saying because the parents trapped in zoom classrooms even if briefly because many are back to school, their eyes are wide open about another virus? >> yes, well, you know, it's been the case that for many, many, many years and all of us have been subject to this yellow bus picks your kids up in the morning, drops them off at 3:00. they get their snacks, you go on with your day, nobody really paid attention what

getting. so we are fighting over getting them back in class but now the next fight is what they are being taught. what is the scariest part of the reality of the radicalism we are seeing in classes today? >> i think you coined term 1619. covid 19 has given us the ability to see some of the radical agendas in some of the more radical parts of the country. but we also have to remember that the infrastructure that has made american education what it is sort of radicalizes the entire system in some respect. now, there is a lot of good public school teachers. the whole system is designed by progressives. >> the whole entire system including private schools. you run a classical christian association which has said we are going to do it entirely differently. it is possible to escape the progressive pipeline in america today? >> it's very hard. we did get off the bus about 30 years ago. we are going to try doing this the way it was done before the progressives took over. this isn't a new thesis. i mean, if you look at any historical text or anything they will say here with doing today in the public schools is called progressive education. and that's not an accident. >> pete: things like essential to studies which we all took. basic understanding we have of the way our kids are educated today crafted by the progressives. >> they were. and this is what we are talking about

certainly tomorrow at the summit was born of a lot of research that you did. a lot of people think it was the 1960s when our schools started to get radicalized. you are saying it was much earlier. >> yes. i didn't know that either. i ran across it reading progressive magazines from the early part of the 20th century trying to figure out when we took a wrong turn because, you know, c.s. lewis has this famous saying if you have taken a wrong turn the most progressive thing can you could is to go back and do the old way. >> pete: not progressive to keep going in the wrong direction. >> does not help. >> pete: certainly what we have done. when we spin our wheels about covid and shutting our kids out of the classroom. which is detrimental to them. sitting in front of a screen doesn't work. triggered the next level conversation okay as we get them back in the classroom or in front of a zoom screen, what in the heck are they actually learning. >> yeah. parents are waking up and we are excited, you know, to try to see where we can take this. you know, there is a lot of opportunity in america right now. >> pete: including and i say this with a number of my kids in classical christian education the opportunity for classical christian education which is a complete rejection of the progressive model. it can be done in america today. and what percentage of your schools are open for
