2Speaker 2
00:00.00 – 00:05.24

Last month, the G20 announced a plan to impose digital currencies and digital IDs on their

4Speaker 4
00:05.24 – 00:05.72

population.

00:05.84 – 00:09.60

Central bank digital currencies essentially could allow the government to track every

00:09.60 – 00:10.54

purchase someone makes.

00:11.20 – 00:15.72

Concerned Americans are diversifying their assets into physical gold with the help of

00:15.72 – 00:16.54

Birch Gold Group.

00:17.06 – 00:20.74

If you want physical gold held in a tax-sheltered retirement account, call Birch Gold.

00:20.84 – 00:23.10

Text DAN to 989898.

00:23.46 – 00:23.98

Diversifying.

00:24.10 – 00:28.34

Claim your free information kit on gold because if digital currency becomes a reality, it'll

00:28.34 – 00:30.12

be nice to have some gold to fall back on.

00:30.22 – 00:31.08

Performance may vary.

00:31.70 – 00:34.90

Consult with your tax attorney or financial professional before making an investment decision.

00:35.40 – 00:36.84

Message and data rates apply.

2Speaker 2
00:37.50 – 00:38.70

Dan Bongino.

00:39.50 – 00:40.88

Welcome to the Bongino Brief.

00:40.98 – 00:41.80

I'm Dan Bongino.

00:42.56 – 00:45.68

Someone said the other day, I love Bongino's show, but it's depressing.

00:45.94 – 00:48.22

I'm not depressed at all.

00:48.92 – 00:52.32

I get depressed, but this country is going to fix itself.

00:52.50 – 00:54.08

But we're just not there yet.

00:55.32 – 01:02.94

When we're in really bad shape and things get super ugly, I'm telling you, you're going

01:02.94 – 01:07.74

to have talking conversation about New Jersey and New York being in play in a presidential

01:07.74 – 01:08.28

election.

01:09.08 – 01:12.10

You're like, Republican winning New Jersey and New York?

01:12.60 – 01:13.08

It happened.

01:13.84 – 01:14.54

It happened.

01:15.28 – 01:16.28

Reagan won both of them.

01:17.44 – 01:18.66

Happened in my lifetime.

01:18.92 – 01:19.84

Wasn't even that long ago.

01:20.72 – 01:21.76

We're not there yet.

01:22.36 – 01:23.36

That's how bad things were.

01:24.32 – 01:25.46

Homicides, the economy.

01:26.60 – 01:29.30

And this is what I think is going to be the breaking point.

01:29.46 – 01:34.88

The continued assault on your kids, the diminishment, the attack on parents, the Justice Department,

01:35.00 – 01:38.04

the police state I showed you in the beginning, targeting a mag of supporters.

01:38.62 – 01:43.58

They targeted January 6th people, people who attended the Latin mass, school board parents,

01:44.12 – 01:46.96

spygate with Donald Trump, people who protested Ukraine.

01:47.10 – 01:48.50

Everybody's going to be on a watch list.

01:48.50 – 01:51.40

And people like this are going to be watching your kids.

01:51.50 – 01:52.26

Check this out.

1Speaker 1
01:52.54 – 01:55.80

Let's talk about parental rights for a second, because it's become evident that it's being

01:55.80 – 02:00.84

used currently in this fight against queer people and especially queer kids who need

02:00.84 – 02:05.40

more protections than ever before, like in Saskatchewan and in the U.S. parental rights

02:05.40 – 02:11.46

are being used to thwart any rights of autonomy that the kid might have.

2Speaker 2
02:11.56 – 02:13.62

And I'm sorry, but kids do have autonomy.

02:13.84 – 02:15.38

We've already established this.

1Speaker 1
02:15.38 – 02:20.04

For example, if a kid needs a blood transfusion and the parents don't want to, it's not the

02:20.04 – 02:25.88

parent's right to refuse that blood transfusion for that kid because it is lifesaving in the

02:25.88 – 02:26.68

same respect.

02:27.28 – 02:32.22

If a kid only needs to use a different name and pronoun in school, there might be a reason

02:32.22 – 02:37.04

and a good reason they're not coming out at home and they need a safe place to be themselves.

2Speaker 2
02:37.56 – 02:44.22

And so to hell with this idea of parental rights when it comes to kids who have their

02:44.22 – 02:48.30

own consent and then their own bodily autonomy and their own autonomy to their personhood

1Speaker 1
02:48.30 – 02:49.86

that need to be protected.

2Speaker 2
02:50.40 – 02:51.38

Keep it up, Libs.

02:51.78 – 02:52.40

Keep it up.

02:52.84 – 02:57.90

There's only so many kids you're going to do this to, changing their name, their pronouns

02:57.90 – 03:01.64

behind their parents back by telling their parents, oh, it's like a blood transfusion.

03:01.70 – 03:03.84

No, a blood transfusion might save a kid's life.

03:04.20 – 03:05.38

Cutting off their nuts won't.

03:06.28 – 03:07.78

Folks, is it bad enough yet?

03:08.20 – 03:09.94

Someone sent me this last night.

03:10.82 – 03:13.70

They sent me this Fox article about Joe Biden building the wall.

03:13.70 – 03:15.64

Oh, look, it's so bad.

03:15.94 – 03:17.82

Dan, you were wrong about the immigration thing.

03:17.98 – 03:18.88

I am not wrong.

03:18.96 – 03:19.96

You're falling for this.

03:21.02 – 03:22.88

It ain't going to build this damn wall.

03:23.72 – 03:25.70

They'll build some nonsense.

03:26.10 – 03:27.74

They'll show some construction.

03:28.26 – 03:31.82

The wall will be like some nonsense piece they put up.

03:31.88 – 03:32.96

They'll take a few pictures.

03:33.48 – 03:36.22

This thing will come right down if he gets reelected.

03:36.64 – 03:41.24

There is not a chance this is going to get built or get built in any way that would stop

03:41.24 – 03:41.76

immigration.

03:42.48 – 03:45.34

Biden's doing this because his poll numbers are going down.

03:45.64 – 03:48.22

This is the real Joe Biden, this Yahoo piece.

03:48.64 – 03:52.76

Joe Biden says it would not be another foot of border wall built under his administration.

03:53.18 – 03:55.60

I love a bunch of people thinking this is a win today.

03:56.00 – 03:57.88

He ain't going to build that damn wall.

03:58.36 – 03:59.52

This is all for show.

04:00.02 – 04:02.28

They'll send a construction team out there, folks.

04:02.54 – 04:07.18

They'll build like 20 feet of it with a big hole in it and a gate they can open for everyone.

04:07.36 – 04:09.24

And they'll go, look what we're doing here.

04:10.90 – 04:13.98

It's going to, Guy said it right, it's going to be $7 trillion.

04:14.46 – 04:15.28

Here's the scam.

04:16.38 – 04:17.30

I'm glad you said that.

04:17.54 – 04:18.74

You ready for the scam, folks?

04:18.80 – 04:20.22

Get your pens out and write this down.

04:20.74 – 04:23.50

Joe, you got to flag it, please, 1146.

04:24.28 – 04:25.04

Thank you.

04:25.32 – 04:28.24

This is October 5th or 6th or 8th, whatever the hell day it is.

04:28.74 – 04:29.88

Watch what's going to happen.

04:31.24 – 04:34.12

They're going to now put this in an appropriation.

04:34.74 – 04:36.94

The wall's not going to be a wall at all.

04:36.94 – 04:41.02

It's going to be some technology thing and a wall with big gates in it so they can open

04:41.02 – 04:41.38

them up.

04:42.00 – 04:43.72

Republicans are going to say, wait, wait, wait, wait.

04:43.98 – 04:46.32

This doesn't sound like a wall that's going to stop immigration.

04:46.46 – 04:47.96

It sounds like some kind of political thing.

04:48.20 – 04:51.28

And then the White House and Kareem Jabbar are going to go, you see?

04:51.88 – 04:54.44

You see, Republicans don't want to fund border security.

04:55.90 – 04:57.00

Am I right?

04:57.86 – 05:01.36

Oh, folks, folks in the chat, I see the flags everywhere.

05:01.86 – 05:02.66

Flag it right now.

05:03.18 – 05:04.06

Flag it right now.

05:04.26 – 05:05.78

You'll thank me in a week for this.

05:05.78 – 05:06.84

You see, Republicans.

05:07.28 – 05:11.58

And you don't think it's weird that this happened when we're 40 something days from another

05:11.58 – 05:13.34

government shutdown for a funding fight?

05:13.68 – 05:15.72

Oh, oh, thanks, Dan.

05:16.00 – 05:16.72

He's right again.

05:17.00 – 05:18.34

Joe, just unflag it right now.

05:19.82 – 05:20.74

Unflag it right now.

05:21.00 – 05:25.54

This is a predictive unflagging because we don't even because I'm telling you it's going

05:25.54 – 05:25.94

to happen.

05:26.22 – 05:27.72

Yeah, because I'm always right.

4Speaker 4
05:28.84 – 05:29.28

Sometimes.

2Speaker 2
05:29.64 – 05:30.38

Don't hate it so much.

05:32.12 – 05:33.00

You watch.

05:33.42 – 05:34.52

This is what's going to happen.

05:35.04 – 05:39.74

He keep your eye out for the and Jim, you too, for the Kareem Jean-Pierre clip.

05:40.42 – 05:44.66

Keep your eye out for the Kareem Jean-Pierre clip where she says Republicans don't want

4Speaker 4
05:44.66 – 05:46.56

to fund border security because they won't fund this fake wall.

05:47.74 – 05:48.56

More in a minute.

2Speaker 2
05:48.72 – 05:54.46

But first, last month, the G20 announced a plan to impose digital currencies and digital

4Speaker 4
05:54.46 – 05:55.52

IDs on their population.

05:55.66 – 05:59.40

Central Bank digital currencies essentially could allow the government to track every

05:59.40 – 06:00.34

purchase someone makes.

06:00.74 – 06:04.12

Some believe it could even prohibit someone from purchasing certain products or freeze

06:04.12 – 06:06.32

or seize part of all their money, but warned about this forever.

06:06.86 – 06:11.40

Concerned Americans are diversifying their assets into physical gold with the help of

06:11.40 – 06:12.22

Birch Gold Group.

06:12.78 – 06:16.44

If you want physical gold held in a tax sheltered retirement account, call Birch Gold.

2Speaker 2
06:16.76 – 06:18.26

I buy gold through Birch Gold.

4Speaker 4
06:18.60 – 06:18.80

Why?

06:18.92 – 06:19.62

Because I trust them.

06:19.66 – 06:20.26

I've used them twice.

06:20.44 – 06:24.52

Get a free information kit on gold IRAs by texting the word Dan to 989898.

06:25.20 – 06:28.64

Listen, if you have an IRA or 401k from a previous employer, Birch Gold can help you

06:28.64 – 06:31.68

convert it to an IRA in gold and you don't pay a penny out of pocket.

06:31.68 – 06:34.64

Again, text Dan to the number 989898.

06:34.66 – 06:37.26

Claim your free information kit from Birch Gold.

06:37.34 – 06:41.40

Because if digital currency becomes a reality, it'll be nice to have some gold to fall back

06:41.40 – 06:41.56

on.

06:41.70 – 06:42.54

Performance may vary.

06:43.20 – 06:46.36

Consult with your tax attorney or financial professional before making an investment decision.

06:46.88 – 06:48.20

Message and data rates apply.

2Speaker 2
06:49.20 – 06:55.10

Now, I told you at the beginning of the show, and I mean it, some of you are taking this

06:55.10 – 06:55.60

personal.

06:56.12 – 06:57.62

I got to do the right thing, man.

06:57.62 – 07:01.98

Listen, do not fall in love with personalities on Capitol Hill.

07:04.60 – 07:09.10

Folks, I'm now four days on this because it's still happening.

07:09.76 – 07:17.64

There are people out there who are either pro-McCarthy, pro-Gates, pro-Biggs, or pro-Emmer,

07:17.84 – 07:23.50

and they're emailing me left and right that this guy's, I don't care what they said.

07:23.72 – 07:24.98

These guys all suck.

07:25.50 – 07:27.98

Thank God people are starting to tweet out what I said yesterday.

07:28.06 – 07:28.74

It's starting to resonate.

07:29.54 – 07:30.68

We use them.

07:30.90 – 07:31.74

They are tools.

07:31.92 – 07:32.70

This is a gavel.

07:32.96 – 07:33.88

Treat them like a hammer.

07:34.52 – 07:37.64

If this were a hammer, this is what a politician is for you.

07:38.14 – 07:41.28

You and your arm moves the hammer and makes it do it.

07:41.40 – 07:43.48

The hammer does not hammer nails by itself.

07:44.66 – 07:46.00

You use the hammer.

07:46.30 – 07:47.72

The hammer doesn't use you.

07:48.96 – 07:50.76

Hammers out there are using you.

07:50.76 – 07:54.46

They're getting you to fall in love with them to make irrational decisions.

07:55.58 – 08:01.74

If they're doing something that turns out well, and we get Jordan or Scalise, who would

08:01.74 – 08:05.94

be better than McCarthy, I like Jordan a lot, then great.

08:06.30 – 08:09.18

They were a good hammer, and you nailed the nail in.

08:09.62 – 08:13.80

If they do something that results in a piss-poor outcome, no good.

08:13.88 – 08:15.08

I don't care who they are.

08:16.12 – 08:19.34

These guys all suck, all of them.

08:20.52 – 08:22.02

Here's a perfect example.

08:22.56 – 08:25.02

I've been through this, folks, a thousand times.

08:25.10 – 08:26.94

I'm begging you to please trust me.

08:27.82 – 08:33.46

Where someone comes to me and goes, oh my gosh, this guy, Tony Bologna on Capitol Hill,

08:33.54 – 08:36.26

man, oh, gave the greatest speech.

08:36.66 – 08:38.64

Holy shit, this guy's so awesome.

08:39.00 – 08:40.80

And I go, did you see his Liberty score?

08:41.00 – 08:42.16

He scored a 42.

08:42.64 – 08:43.46

Oh, man.

08:43.46 – 08:44.90

Wow, could have fooled me.

08:46.08 – 08:48.90

You know how many times I heard this about Trey Gowdy?

08:49.42 – 08:53.08

Oh my gosh, this guy's a killer up on Capitol Hill.

08:53.80 – 08:55.72

It was Gowdy yesterday going after Gaetz.

08:55.94 – 09:00.44

And by the way, I'm not celebrating Gaetz, or I'm just telling you how people used to

09:00.44 – 09:01.04

love Gowdy.

09:01.24 – 09:06.24

He was the Gaetz of his time, and now they love Gaetz, and now both of them are at each

09:06.24 – 09:06.76

other's necks.

09:06.82 – 09:07.80

So who's right?

09:07.98 – 09:09.42

The answer is it doesn't matter.

09:10.06 – 09:11.92

It's the policy outcome that matters.

09:11.92 – 09:13.56

The football, not who's throwing it.

09:14.52 – 09:15.80

Here, this is what I mean.

09:15.90 – 09:16.40

Watch this.

3Speaker 3
09:16.78 – 09:19.02

He's had a personal vendetta against Kevin.

09:19.12 – 09:20.14

Look, I was there.

2Speaker 2
09:20.20 – 09:21.56

I was there when he got there.

09:21.66 – 09:23.24

He's had a personal vendetta.

3Speaker 3
09:23.44 – 09:24.40

I'm not a psychiatrist.

09:24.72 – 09:29.52

I can't tell you why he can't stand to see other people succeed.

09:30.30 – 09:36.66

But if you, I mean, Matt Gaetz defended Katie Hill, remember, who gave us the term throttling?

?Unknown Speaker
09:37.14 – 09:38.14

He defended her.

3Speaker 3
09:38.28 – 09:40.08

He defended Congresswoman Jayapal.

09:40.08 – 09:45.18

He's got a crush on AOC, but yet he delights in attacking Republicans.

09:45.46 – 09:48.08

I can't tell you the psychiatric diagnosis.

09:48.28 – 09:50.74

I can just tell you it's dangerous for the Republican Party.

2Speaker 2
09:52.34 – 09:53.06

Who's right?

09:53.26 – 10:00.18

I mean, I was told, Joe, weren't you, 10 years ago, that Gowdy was the future, and this guy's

10:00.18 – 10:00.76

it, man.

10:00.94 – 10:03.12

People were going to run through the fire.

10:03.74 – 10:06.96

He's telling you Gaetz is a shithead, and he loves AOC.

10:07.48 – 10:08.06

Who's right?

10:08.06 – 10:10.04

Joe, what's my answer?

10:10.46 – 10:11.12

Don't give a shit.

10:12.28 – 10:14.44

I don't care if Gaetz loves AOC or not.

10:14.96 – 10:17.00

All I care about is we get a more conservative speaker.

10:17.28 – 10:18.58

You need to do the same thing.

10:20.30 – 10:21.34

They all suck.

?Unknown Speaker
10:21.96 – 10:22.76

They all suck.

2Speaker 2
10:23.32 – 10:26.00

Here was Gowdy, by the way, who's attacking Gaetz, by the way.

10:26.86 – 10:31.46

This was him, what, five, six years ago, during the Spygate trauma, when Joe and I were knee-deep

10:31.46 – 10:34.68

in this, telling you how the FBI was doing just a peachy job.

10:34.72 – 10:35.24

Remember this?

3Speaker 3
10:35.24 – 10:41.06

I am even more convinced that the FBI did exactly what my fellow citizens would want

10:41.06 – 10:45.30

them to do, when they got the information they got, and that it has nothing to do with

10:45.30 – 10:45.80

Donald Trump.

2Speaker 2
10:46.36 – 10:48.70

I thought he was a superhero.

10:49.42 – 10:52.04

You see what happens when you get lost in personalities?

10:53.18 – 10:54.48

You and I are above that.

10:55.72 – 10:57.08

They need us.

10:57.42 – 10:58.58

We don't need them.

10:59.12 – 11:01.78

They are tools, nothing more.

11:03.44 – 11:06.58

Here was Tucker when he confronted Gowdy on Fox.

11:07.40 – 11:13.64

He confronted Gowdy about Gowdy saying the FBI had done a good job, and Gowdy kind of

11:13.64 – 11:17.08

questioning that the whole thing against Trump was a witch-hunt.

11:17.20 – 11:18.56

Oh, no, not a witch-hunt.

11:18.86 – 11:21.94

I want you to watch this and tell me who the superheroes are.

11:22.36 – 11:22.90

Take a look.

1Speaker 1
11:23.56 – 11:26.24

You said, point blank, it's not a witch-hunt, and people say it is, it's not.

11:26.66 – 11:28.88

But of course it was a witch-hunt, by definition.

11:28.88 – 11:30.80

When did that dawn on you?

3Speaker 3
11:32.18 – 11:35.80

Well, Tucker, if you think about the four points, number one, what did Russia do?

11:35.92 – 11:39.28

I am convinced that Russia tried to interfere with the fundamentals of our democracy.

11:39.62 – 11:44.38

So point number one, that we were asked to look at, what did Russia do?

11:44.56 – 11:45.98

Number two, with whom, if anyone?

11:46.62 – 11:49.68

I was down there for almost every witness interview, and I'm the one that asked the

11:49.68 – 11:54.00

question, and the answer was no one with the Trump campaign did anything with Russia.

11:54.54 – 11:56.52

Then we got to the unmaskings and the leaks.

11:56.52 – 12:02.46

So I don't think asking, what did Russia do to our country in 2016 or try to do, I don't

12:02.46 – 12:03.52

think that was a witch-hunt.

1Speaker 1
12:04.06 – 12:10.54

But we don't have evidence that they did hack the DNC servers or John Podesta's email.

12:10.70 – 12:18.50

So how exactly did Russia skew the election or interfere any more than a dozen other countries

12:18.50 – 12:19.74

try to interfere every day?

12:19.78 – 12:21.04

I'm totally confused.

3Speaker 3
12:22.14 – 12:23.92

No, I think those are two separate inquiries.

12:23.92 – 12:26.92

I don't think they impacted the results of the election at all.

12:27.12 – 12:28.54

Donald Trump won fair and square.

12:29.00 – 12:30.20

What did they try to do?

12:30.56 – 12:31.28

We spent a year.

12:31.34 – 12:32.14

We wrote a report.

12:32.26 – 12:33.34

The Senate wrote a report.

12:33.56 – 12:40.00

I don't think there's, there's not much quarrel on the intelligence of, did Russia try to

12:40.00 – 12:42.16

interfere so many seeds of discord in this country?

1Speaker 1
12:42.68 – 12:43.56

There is with me.

12:43.74 – 12:45.66

I mean, lots of countries, I mean, I've lived there my whole life.

12:45.90 – 12:47.36

Lots of countries interfere all the time.

12:47.72 – 12:50.94

I want to know, is there any evidence that they hacked the DNC server?

12:50.94 – 12:55.02

That's the, I mean, that's the central allegation and we're hearing from the CrowdStrike guy,

12:55.06 – 12:58.48

I know there's no evidence, so I don't know what this is about.

3Speaker 3
12:59.66 – 13:05.08

Well, we couldn't answer that because remember the FBI did not gain access to that server.

2Speaker 2
13:05.20 – 13:07.26

They didn't even try to gain access to that server.

3Speaker 3
13:08.10 – 13:11.80

The DNC gave it to CrowdStrike and we will never know the answer to that question.

2Speaker 2
13:12.56 – 13:16.34

Folks, this is why I can't let this go.

4Speaker 4
13:16.68 – 13:18.20

This week is too important.

2Speaker 2
13:18.20 – 13:20.84

We got a speaker's fight coming up next week.

13:21.30 – 13:23.44

Do not get lost in the personalities.

13:23.64 – 13:27.64

These guys will always sell you out, always, always.

13:28.84 – 13:32.66

Here's proof that these guys cannot get past the personality fight.

13:32.92 – 13:34.40

We have no speaker now.

13:34.68 – 13:37.00

I don't give a how we got here at this point.

13:37.52 – 13:41.80

No, whatever complaints you have, oh, this guy pissed in this guy's Cheerios, whatever.

13:42.08 – 13:43.00

We have no speaker.

13:43.08 – 13:43.80

We got to pick one.

13:44.18 – 13:46.56

We pay you to work for us.

13:46.56 – 13:49.04

This is a consent of the government House of Representatives.

13:49.22 – 13:49.98

You represent us.

13:50.88 – 13:52.34

Oh, I don't like Gates.

13:52.42 – 13:53.22

I don't like McCarthy.

13:53.52 – 13:54.60

We don't care.

13:55.50 – 13:58.44

I can't imagine this in the Secret Service doing this.

13:58.72 – 14:02.96

Hey, I don't like this guy, Al, I'm working with, so I'm going to do a really crappy job

14:02.96 – 14:04.16

and let the president get killed.

?Unknown Speaker
14:04.58 – 14:05.56

You'd be in jail.

2Speaker 2
14:06.52 – 14:11.60

Here's this guy, Mike Lawler, a congressman with Katie Turin, NBC, saying he's not supporting

14:11.60 – 14:16.56

Scalise or Jordan because he wants accountability for the eight lawmakers who vote against McCarthy.

14:16.86 – 14:23.00

Oh, so just to be clear, Newt Gingrich and Lawler, they want, they want Gates, what,

14:23.10 – 14:23.62

kicked out?

?Unknown Speaker
14:24.00 – 14:24.64

Because why?

2Speaker 2
14:24.66 – 14:26.12

You don't like that he peed in your Cheerios?

14:27.14 – 14:30.94

I didn't like the way the whole thing went down either, but we're here and now we need

14:30.94 – 14:33.64

a more conservative speaker who gives a shit what I think.

14:33.64 – 14:35.48

Let's get a more conservative speaker.

14:36.60 – 14:38.66

The Dan Bongino Show.
