00:00.00 – 00:03.82

Since 1974, Saudi Arabia sold oil solely in U.S. dollars,

00:03.94 – 00:05.70

and that was paramount to the dollar's strength

00:05.70 – 00:07.26

and its stability, but not anymore.

00:07.82 – 00:10.04

It's reasons like this that I buy gold from Birch Gold,

Dan Bongino.

00:31.30 – 00:32.82

Welcome to the Bongino Brief.

00:32.92 – 00:33.74

I'm Dan Bongino.

00:34.44 – 00:37.70

Now we find out even the insiders are bailing on us.

00:38.50 – 00:40.52

This is why last night was so important

00:40.52 – 00:41.48

and a win for everyone.

00:41.80 – 00:43.46

We need this cat in a race.

00:44.50 – 00:46.00

This cat can't leave.

00:46.26 – 00:47.20

I'm forbidding it.

00:47.80 – 00:49.68

The voters should decide,

00:49.94 – 00:52.94

and Joe Briban should feel the wrath of the voters,

00:53.08 – 00:53.44

but we got,

00:55.30 – 00:57.46

Kraken, they're back, they're back, Kraken.

00:57.46 – 00:59.68

Kraken, he's filing reports right now.

00:59.92 – 01:00.80

He's filing reports.

01:01.28 – 01:03.34

What Kraken doesn't know, the HR rep is Paula.

01:03.80 – 01:05.64

Paula's, I have a certain amount of influence

01:05.64 – 01:06.52

with the HR rep.

01:06.62 – 01:08.80

Kraken's filing, I'm gonna give you her email, Kraken.

01:08.88 – 01:10.38

You can start sending reports in right now.

01:10.66 – 01:12.38

This is a problem for us, though.

01:12.74 – 01:13.62

Good news, bad news.

01:13.70 – 01:15.66

Good news, last night wasn't that horrible

01:15.66 – 01:17.44

by very low standards for Joe Biden.

01:17.86 – 01:18.56

Here's the bad news.

01:18.94 – 01:20.46

Insiders are now talking, folks.

01:20.68 – 01:22.38

Listen, one thing about Team Briban.

01:23.04 – 01:24.16

I'm serious on this one.

01:24.56 – 01:26.42

They have been very good at stopping leaks.

01:26.42 – 01:27.22

Very good.

01:27.42 – 01:29.00

Remember with the Trump administration?

01:29.76 – 01:32.06

These clown swampies on the inside,

01:32.22 – 01:33.60

the Vindmans and these other goofballs,

01:33.72 – 01:35.94

they were like, Trump drinks Coke, not Pepsi,

01:36.04 – 01:37.04

and it was like a big leak.

01:37.54 – 01:38.42

You didn't see that.

01:39.46 – 01:41.38

You didn't see that out of Team Briban.

01:41.78 – 01:43.36

Now look at this, NBC News.

01:43.50 – 01:45.54

No one involved in the effort thinks he has a path.

01:45.72 – 01:47.78

Biden insiders say the writing is on the wall.

01:48.48 – 01:50.66

Folks, I'm gonna stick to my original assertion

01:50.66 – 01:52.12

where I've been for two years now.

01:52.20 – 01:53.44

Biden will not be the nominee.

01:53.98 – 01:55.52

It is only a matter of time.

01:56.04 – 01:58.10

Our goal is to extend the timeline

01:58.10 – 01:59.92

and keep him in as long as possible

02:00.46 – 02:03.08

because he is the easiest one to beat,

02:03.24 – 02:05.38

and cutesy time is freaking over.

02:06.30 – 02:08.52

The negative stories, of course, are not gonna stop.

02:08.66 – 02:10.58

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

02:11.14 – 02:13.48

Hey, I'm assuming, Evita, that's a pretty liberal paper.

02:13.96 – 02:14.84

Very liberal.

02:15.14 – 02:17.86

Okay, Evita knows Milwaukee well.

02:18.22 – 02:20.16

Milwaukee radio station said it agreed

02:20.16 – 02:21.98

to edit the interview with Joe Biden.

02:22.14 – 02:24.52

Folks, the negative stories are not gonna stop

02:24.52 – 02:25.16

with this guy.

02:25.16 – 02:27.16

It's just gonna be an endless litany.

02:27.58 – 02:29.68

So if you're thinking after last night,

02:29.80 – 02:31.84

well, Dan, don't defend him too much

02:31.84 – 02:33.82

because then we're gonna prop up his approval rating.

02:34.20 – 02:37.00

Folks, I'm sorry, but stop the nonsense.

02:37.38 – 02:38.82

That's not going to happen.

02:39.20 – 02:42.40

Biden is an awful candidate who is one fall or stumble.

02:42.56 – 02:43.92

I'm not wishing that on anyone.

02:44.14 – 02:45.36

I'm not saying that.

02:45.56 – 02:48.06

I'm just telling you he is one fall

02:48.06 – 02:51.48

or big verbal faux pas away from screwing it up.

02:51.68 – 02:54.70

And by the way, we've got a relief pitcher in the bullpen.

02:54.70 – 02:55.08

Who?

02:55.22 – 02:56.00

Mariano Rivera?

02:56.38 – 02:57.54

No, I wish I did.

02:57.58 – 02:58.40

I love Mariano.

02:58.54 – 02:59.12

Enter Sandman.

02:59.22 – 03:00.18

We've got a, you know what it is?

03:01.48 – 03:03.08

You know what our fail safe is?

03:03.62 – 03:06.12

Say Biden, I don't know, they give him a couple cups

03:06.12 – 03:07.08

of coffee or whatever.

03:07.92 – 03:09.40

John, send him some blackout.

03:10.48 – 03:11.64

Keep him going.

03:11.74 – 03:13.30

John, blackout right to the White House.

03:13.36 – 03:14.42

Give him the cinnamon French toast.

03:15.10 – 03:15.72

We need that.

03:15.82 – 03:16.64

We need him up, okay?

03:18.38 – 03:21.32

Our ace in the hole is there's another debate in September.

03:21.96 – 03:24.62

If he makes it to September, which is possible,

03:25.12 – 03:26.48

if he makes it to September,

03:26.96 – 03:29.14

you really believe he's gonna perform better,

03:30.06 – 03:32.38

you know, a couple months from now

03:32.38 – 03:34.14

than he did in the last debate?

03:35.14 – 03:37.08

It's, yes, Vita says it's gonna be,

03:37.12 – 03:38.10

of course it's gonna be worse.

03:38.62 – 03:40.18

So folks, don't sweat it.

03:40.34 – 03:41.92

There is no saving this guy.

03:42.24 – 03:45.50

Your goal and your only goal, horse blinkers, man,

03:45.72 – 03:49.80

is to keep this cat in the race as long as possible.

03:51.38 – 03:53.38

Hashtag D-Biden, let's go, Brandon.

03:53.82 – 03:54.98

Let's go, Brandon.

03:55.94 – 03:57.50

Yes, yes, there it is.

03:57.80 – 03:59.58

Let's go, Brandon, kids.

03:59.70 – 04:02.14

Dark Brandon put the little laser eye beams

04:02.14 – 04:02.82

like he's Superman.

04:03.30 – 04:05.46

Hey, CNN is reporting something

04:05.46 – 04:07.48

that I actually was kind of unaware of.

04:07.52 – 04:08.78

I had not heard this story before.

04:09.12 – 04:10.42

I got a lot of good little birdies,

04:10.50 – 04:11.50

but this one I haven't heard.

04:11.58 – 04:12.20

I'm gonna be straight with you.

04:12.92 – 04:14.62

Apparently he's not had a cabinet meeting

04:14.62 – 04:15.66

in a really long time.

04:15.72 – 04:17.76

I guess what he's trying to do, my humble opinion,

04:18.18 – 04:19.98

is he's trying to prevent leaks

04:19.98 – 04:22.32

because these cabinet meetings have principals

04:22.32 – 04:23.66

and then there's usually a backup.

04:23.84 – 04:25.00

If you ever watch a cabinet meeting

04:25.00 – 04:26.38

in the Roosevelt Room in the White House,

04:26.46 – 04:28.74

you'll see, pay attention now when you see it.

04:29.60 – 04:31.44

The cabinet officials are the principals.

04:31.62 – 04:32.28

They'll be at the table

04:32.84 – 04:34.72

and Biden will be right there in the middle.

04:35.24 – 04:36.44

And then look behind them.

04:36.54 – 04:38.50

You'll see people seated along the window.

04:39.10 – 04:39.90

Those are the backups.

04:40.38 – 04:43.12

The Biden team, I think, is afraid of his own cabinet now.

04:43.28 – 04:45.08

I think they're afraid that the backups

04:45.08 – 04:46.40

or the principals are gonna leak

04:46.40 – 04:47.92

at the bad mental condition he's in.

04:48.22 – 04:49.72

So he's saying he hasn't had a meeting in a while.

04:49.80 – 04:50.54

But here's the kicker.

04:50.78 – 04:51.94

Even when he did have a meeting,

04:52.26 – 04:53.92

he makes his own cabinet officials

04:53.92 – 04:55.28

submit questions in advance.

04:55.68 – 04:57.12

Folks, I gotta tell you,

04:57.16 – 04:58.86

I worked in a White House for five years.

04:58.94 – 05:00.14

I've never heard anything like this.

05:00.20 – 05:02.16

This is the craziest thing I have heard

05:02.16 – 05:03.04

about cabinet meetings.

05:03.18 – 05:03.78

Check this out.

3Speaker 3
05:03.90 – 05:05.26

According to two sources,

05:06.16 – 05:08.70

before cabinet meetings that the president attends,

05:09.26 – 05:11.86

cabinet officials will submit their questions

05:11.86 – 05:15.18

and talking points, key talking points and bullet points

05:15.18 – 05:17.48

that they plan to present to the president

05:17.48 – 05:19.22

in these closed-door meetings.

05:19.50 – 05:21.28

This is how one source described it.

05:21.32 – 05:24.02

They said the entire display is kind of an act.

05:24.34 – 05:25.14

They would come and say,

05:25.26 – 05:27.06

hey, the president is going to call on you

05:27.06 – 05:29.68

about 25 minutes in and ask this question.

05:29.92 – 05:32.24

What are the bullet points that you'll respond with?

1Speaker 1
05:34.30 – 05:35.80

Folks, I'm telling you,

05:36.00 – 05:39.08

yes, I was not a political operative in the White House.

05:39.16 – 05:40.58

I'm not trying to fake the funk on you.

05:40.62 – 05:41.52

That's an ad, by the way.

05:41.86 – 05:43.74

Not that it matters in this show, but you get the point.

05:44.44 – 05:45.96

More in a minute, but first.

05:46.46 – 05:47.64

Hey, summer is here.

05:47.76 – 05:49.54

I've never heard anything like this.

06:39.92 – 06:42.16

You're on the road with these people all the time,

06:42.24 – 06:42.84

these staffers.

06:42.84 – 06:44.50

You work in the White House five years

06:44.50 – 06:47.04

and you travel on the road with people 200 days a,

06:47.04 – 06:48.98

you kind of get familiar with the inner workings

06:48.98 – 06:49.58

of a White House.

06:49.90 – 06:52.70

That's how I was telling you yesterday about Johnny Favs,

06:53.24 – 06:55.30

the Johnny Favreau, the podcast host

06:55.30 – 06:57.38

who's friends with Obama, but was a speech writer.

06:57.90 – 06:59.74

I remember that cat walking around.

06:59.84 – 07:02.00

I mean, I'm not buddies with him or anything like that,

07:02.00 – 07:04.02

but you get intimately familiar

07:04.02 – 07:05.26

with the workings of this place

07:05.26 – 07:06.88

because you see these people all the time.

07:07.52 – 07:09.42

I've never heard of anything like this.

07:10.18 – 07:12.06

They have to submit their questions in advance?

07:13.82 – 07:14.82

And by the way,

07:15.16 – 07:19.02

another Dan Bongino show conspiracy theory comes true.

07:19.20 – 07:21.26

Michael, you have any idea what the batting average is now?

07:21.58 – 07:22.06

What it's up to?

07:22.60 – 07:25.10

A thousand for a thousand, kids.

07:25.48 – 07:26.82

It just keeps getting better.

07:27.60 – 07:30.28

I said the other day, and someone started attacking me

07:30.28 – 07:34.02

on, was it that, whatever, that Krasinski cat or whatever.

07:34.08 – 07:36.08

I don't even remember, but I just mauled him.

07:36.14 – 07:38.50

I just put up the FBI raid thing

07:38.50 – 07:39.98

and he got quiet awfully quick.

07:40.60 – 07:41.80

It was weird how that happened.

07:43.24 – 07:45.78

Imagine being a liberal and getting raided by the FBI.

07:46.48 – 07:48.32

Michael, how bad do you have to be to be a liberal

07:48.32 – 07:49.86

and get raided by the FBI?

07:50.32 – 07:52.02

Now, if I got raided by the FBI,

07:52.70 – 07:54.74

everybody'd be like, yeah, of course, it's the FBI.

07:54.94 – 07:56.96

I mean, and Dan's a conservative, like a MAGA guy, right?

07:57.38 – 07:59.06

I mean, Evita, would that even be a story?

07:59.26 – 08:01.34

I don't even think Evita would cover it on our new show.

08:01.72 – 08:02.88

She'd be like, yeah, Dan got raided.

08:03.42 – 08:05.98

It wouldn't be, everyone would be, but to be a liberal?

08:06.26 – 08:07.50

Like, you really gotta be messed up.

08:07.50 – 08:10.08

But everybody told me it was a conspiracy theory

08:10.08 – 08:12.88

when I said the Obamas don't like the Bidens,

08:12.94 – 08:14.02

they're gonna turn on them,

08:14.28 – 08:15.84

and David Axelrod would be the mouthpiece.

08:15.90 – 08:17.24

I'm serious, I was attacked for that.

08:17.30 – 08:18.72

Oh my gosh, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

08:19.00 – 08:22.96

Okay, here's the morning schmo telling you exactly,

08:22.96 – 08:24.02

Mark Levin, this isn't a game,

08:24.16 – 08:27.74

telling you exactly what I just told you,

08:27.98 – 08:30.52

that Axelrod is the mouthpiece for Obama.

08:30.64 – 08:31.20

Check this out.

2Speaker 2
08:31.52 – 08:34.20

I will say one thing that we do have to underline here

08:34.20 – 08:38.06

just so viewers can follow what's going on

08:38.06 – 08:41.80

behind the scenes is the Biden campaign

08:42.60 – 08:46.34

and many Democratic officials do believe

08:46.34 – 08:51.76

that Barack Obama is quietly working behind the scenes

08:52.48 – 08:54.02

to orchestrate this.

08:55.00 – 08:58.56

And if Joe Biden believes that,

08:59.14 – 09:02.64

that's not going to get him out of the race any faster.

09:02.64 – 09:05.46

Anytime David Axelrod attacks him,

09:06.02 – 09:08.42

David Axelrod ensures that Joe Biden

09:08.42 – 09:10.82

will dig himself in another day.

09:11.48 – 09:17.32

Any time the pod bros say something nasty about Joe Biden,

09:17.36 – 09:20.48

which they have repeatedly said nasty things

09:20.48 – 09:24.72

about Joe Biden before the debate, after the debate,

09:26.12 – 09:30.92

every time they do that, he digs in a little bit further.

09:32.14 – 09:34.30

Chat folks, chat folks, do I steer you wrong?

09:34.48 – 09:35.80

Do you feel like you're wasting your time here?

09:36.62 – 09:38.34

You feel like, or do you feel like,

09:38.48 – 09:40.22

oh shit, we were three weeks ahead of it again?

09:40.28 – 09:41.10

Yeah, yeah, you were.

09:43.52 – 09:44.54

Who's he talking about?

09:44.60 – 09:46.06

Anyone in the chat know pod bros?

09:46.38 – 09:47.06

Anyone know who he's talking about?

09:47.50 – 09:50.96

He's talking about Johnny Favs, who I just told you about.

09:52.72 – 09:54.84

Johnny Favs was a speech writer for Obama.

09:54.98 – 09:57.42

He hosts this really popular liberal podcast.

09:57.94 – 10:00.24

Honestly, I'm sorry, do you guys know what the name of it is?

10:00.24 – 10:01.56

I'm not trying to be silly about it.

10:01.72 – 10:02.34

It's popular.

10:02.48 – 10:04.58

I'm not trying to do that Mariah Carey J-Lo.

10:04.68 – 10:07.14

I don't know her, but it's, I forget what it's called.

10:07.26 – 10:09.70

It's a liberal podcast, super popular.

10:09.78 – 10:11.02

It's up there with the young turds.

10:11.94 – 10:13.08

People, what is it called, do you know?

10:14.28 – 10:16.24

Pod Save America, yes, thank you, Avina.

10:16.84 – 10:18.08

That's where liberals go.

10:18.88 – 10:20.46

Johnny Favs is one of the hosts.

10:21.04 – 10:22.86

That's who Scarborough's talking about.

10:24.12 – 10:26.54

Scarborough was all in on Team Biden.

10:26.76 – 10:28.34

He's cracking a little bit now,

10:28.90 – 10:31.64

but he still feels like he wants to preserve his access

10:31.64 – 10:33.32

because he got that interview the other day.

10:33.60 – 10:35.02

So he's playing it both ways.

10:35.24 – 10:37.14

He knows exactly what I'm telling you.

10:37.52 – 10:39.18

Listen, I'm gonna, enough of this.

10:39.40 – 10:41.98

Just listen to Axelrod and Johnny Favs,

10:42.30 – 10:44.84

and you'll know exactly where Obama's going.

10:45.42 – 10:48.02

And Obama, Obama's opinion matters

10:48.02 – 10:49.62

because Obama controls what?

10:50.40 – 10:51.36

The donors.

10:52.36 – 10:54.10

The donors are the only thing

10:54.10 – 10:55.50

that's gonna force this guy out.
