The Dan Bongino Show. Get ready to hear the truth about America with your host, Dan Bongino.

All right, welcome to the Dan Bongino Show, producer Joe. How are you today?

Ready to go, man?

Yeah, man, me too.

Hey, again, Mary Christmas to all of you. Hope you had a great Christmas yesterday.

I certainly did. Got my wife a nice burberry bag. And she got me the king of all

man gifts in my humble opinion. You may disagree. You may think it's a bit nerdy.

I don't, but the first appearance of the Punisher in Spider-Man 129, you got to love the Punisher.

What guy does not love the Punisher? How can you not love a character known as the Punisher?

How can you not? I'm just asking. So it may surprise you that I'm into that kind of thing.

But when I was a kid, I was really into comic books. I of course, like every other kid,

I sold probably about $500,000 worth of them for the cost of a turkey sandwich in Tommy's

Deli in the corner in Glendale. But my wife has been working very hard to accumulate back

at least the valuable ones. She got me was there, devil number one. And yeah, the Punisher,

Spider-Man 129, which note if in that movie, Coyote Ugly, if you've ever seen it, that is the

comic book that the kid sells to get his girlfriend on stage. And then has to she buys it back

for him later. So pretty cool. Damn, bungee. But I hope you all did well. Yeah, it's a

cool picture. I put it on my Instagram if you want to see the cover. All right, let's get into

it because yesterday was Christmas Cots and we haven't got into our standard political

discussion. So no more time to waste. There is a stellar spectacular, fantastic article

at the Wall Street Journal today. I am not sure if it's subscription only. I don't think

it is because I've seen it in a couple other places. Either way, it's in the show notes today.
