Liberals Are Oddly Upset At The Prospect Of Finding Out The Truth

Today’s show delves into the liberal outrage over Attorney General William Barr’s announcement that he will be looking into the origins of the Russia investigation.

It’s weird how leftists — particularly journalists — are angry at the prospect of someone trying to get answers to the basic questions of how this whole thing started and whether or not it was politically motivated.

Plus, California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters makes a fool of herself, and Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders wants to make fools of us all.

Listen to the show:

Barr upset every Democrat in Congress — and every Democrat with a press credential — when he announced he believed the Obama administration had “spied” on the Trump campaign when they were, um, spying on the Trump campaign. Perhaps they would have preferred if he’d said the Obama administration had simply surveilled members of the campaign and their communications without their knowledge or consent?

Either way, getting to the bottom of how the entire Russia investigation came to be, especially since after two years, $25 million in taxpayer funds, and a team of Democratic Party donor lawyers who found no evidence of collusion, would be of interest to journalists. Their job, after all, is supposed to go wherever the facts take them.

But no, they aren’t interested. Chuck Todd was particularly upset about the AG asking questions. His lack of curiosity is indicative of all liberal journalists, and we dissect the audio.

Waters made an absolute fool of herself yesterday, questioning bank executives about how they are addressing the “student loan crisis.” What the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee didn’t appear to know is the Federal Government nationalized student loan industry in 2010, which Waters voted for. The audio is hilarious.

Sanders is set to introduce his “Medicare for All” socialized medicine bill today, which would outlaw private health insurance. From the concept to the math, everything Sanders is saying about the bill is wrong — not to mention the fact that he seems to have no concern for the tens of thousands of Americans who would be put out of work by effectively shutting every private health insurance company. We discuss it all.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
