00:00.00 – 00:04.34

Central banks are dumping the US dollar because of inflation, deficit spending, and our insurmountable

00:04.34 – 00:05.14

national debt.

00:05.22 – 00:08.66

That's bad news for the dollar, bad news for your savings, but the people I buy gold from?

00:09.46 – 00:10.10

Dan Bongino.

00:32.78 – 00:34.20

Welcome to the Bongino Brief.

00:34.30 – 00:35.08

I'm Dan Bongino.

00:35.88 – 00:44.18

Folks, the Durham report, the Hillary Clinton email scandal, the Trump collusion thing that

00:44.18 – 00:46.76

broke wide open with this Durham report, right?

00:46.90 – 00:52.74

I can't emphasize to you in strong enough Dan Bongino words that this is not even a

00:52.74 – 00:54.22

scandal about Trump or Hillary.

00:54.40 – 00:56.34

It is a scandal about Obama.

00:56.58 – 00:57.42

The collusion thing?

00:57.42 – 00:57.78

How?

00:58.12 – 00:58.74

What do you mean?

00:59.86 – 01:05.66

I said to you the other day that the whole collusion thing hatched because Hillary Clinton

01:05.66 – 01:08.54

needed a distraction from her own email scandal.

01:08.64 – 01:11.48

So she said, let's just make up Trump colluded with the Russians.

01:11.58 – 01:11.86

Get it?

01:11.92 – 01:12.22

Got it?

01:12.28 – 01:12.44

Good.

01:12.58 – 01:13.56

I said that the other day.

01:15.32 – 01:16.50

Here's the problem.

01:17.54 – 01:22.58

The administration, the Obama administration, needed a distraction because who was Hillary

01:22.58 – 01:25.18

emailing classified information to?

01:25.84 – 01:26.38

Obama.

01:26.98 – 01:32.68

Who was the president who can't say I didn't know better because she was emailing him from

01:32.68 – 01:38.20

her personal email to his BlackBerry that had to be whitelisted for her email.

01:39.70 – 01:44.86

Somebody said, hey, let this personal email through personal.

01:45.22 – 01:46.90

Isn't she supposed to have a State Department email?

01:47.14 – 01:48.36

Oh, WTF.

01:49.38 – 01:51.78

Obama knew it's an Obama scandal.

01:52.32 – 01:55.42

The whole collusion thing is a distraction from Obama.

01:55.42 – 02:01.38

Audience Archivist Judy, who's great, reminded me of my own show I did on this and an article

02:01.38 – 02:02.34

from 2017.

02:02.54 – 02:04.28

Please, please, please.

02:04.62 – 02:07.26

I am begging you read this article.

02:07.42 – 02:10.08

It's in my newsletter today, Bongino dot com slash newsletter.

02:10.32 – 02:11.36

It's from 2017.

02:11.86 – 02:14.38

It's by Andy McCarthy, who love him or hate him.

02:14.48 – 02:16.92

Andy's a friend of mine has some different views on Trump and stuff.

02:16.92 – 02:21.26

But I don't I don't toss my friends for political views out as long as they're good people.

02:21.26 – 02:21.50

Right.

02:21.50 – 02:25.16

So, yeah, Andy wrote a great piece that nails this whole thing.

02:26.04 – 02:28.76

It wasn't Comey's decision to exonerate Hillary is the title.

02:28.92 – 02:30.12

It was Obama's.

02:30.72 – 02:33.24

He talks about exactly this scandal.

02:33.40 – 02:37.54

And I promise you, it's the most important article you've probably never read because

02:37.54 – 02:40.00

it's all about Obama.

02:40.22 – 02:45.30

They are protecting Obama with this collusion thing with the Hillary email scandal.

02:45.48 – 02:47.28

All of this stuff is about protecting Obama.

02:47.46 – 02:47.70

Why?

02:48.58 – 02:49.90

There's a couple of reasons.

02:49.90 – 02:51.60

They're protecting him for two reasons.

02:51.94 – 02:53.18

Number one, the history books.

02:53.50 – 02:59.04

You need to understand Obama's their Reagan, Obama, the second most destructive president

02:59.04 – 03:00.24

in the history of the United States.

03:00.54 – 03:03.46

Second, behind Biden, Biden's Biden's far worse.

03:03.86 – 03:05.68

You can argue with me all you want to chat.

03:05.94 – 03:07.86

Love to hear that Biden is far worse.

03:08.28 – 03:09.00

Biden's dumber.

03:09.70 – 03:12.60

Obama was smart enough to sit back and move surgically.

03:12.62 – 03:13.42

Not Biden.

03:13.76 – 03:18.00

Biden just shoots buckshot at everything in sight, likely destroying everything around

03:18.00 – 03:18.80

without even aiming.

03:18.80 – 03:19.24

OK.

03:19.72 – 03:20.76

At least Obama aimed.

03:20.86 – 03:23.62

He was more of a rifled slug guy, not not Biden.

03:23.70 – 03:25.42

Biden's too stupid to do that, OK?

03:26.10 – 03:28.82

They need to protect the reputation of Obama.

03:28.82 – 03:33.88

And they cannot point out that he was, I would argue, probably the most, even more so than

03:33.88 – 03:36.56

Biden corrupt president in the history of the United States.

03:37.12 – 03:41.62

He actually used the the mechanics of the federal government to spy on his political

03:41.62 – 03:42.00

opponent.

03:42.16 – 03:44.46

I've never seen anything like they can't let that get out.

03:44.98 – 03:46.84

That's why this story must go away.

03:46.84 – 03:52.58

And second, they need to protect Michelle Obama if she decides to ever run for president.

03:52.88 – 03:55.74

That's why they are so keen on making this go away.

03:55.92 – 03:56.92

Here's the proof for you.

03:56.98 – 03:58.80

This whole thing was about Obama the whole time.

03:59.02 – 04:00.94

He was getting emails from Hillary.

04:01.60 – 04:07.26

Andy McCarthy writes in his piece that the decision to exonerate Hillary came from Obama.

04:08.12 – 04:13.94

He gave a speech in April, months before April, Joe, before July, April, July, April.

04:14.42 – 04:14.66

Yeah.

04:14.78 – 04:14.96

Yeah.

04:14.96 – 04:15.56

April before.

04:15.68 – 04:16.52

OK, thank you, fellas.

04:16.60 – 04:16.92

Any data?

04:17.28 – 04:18.18

April's before July.

04:18.62 – 04:19.96

Comey gives this speech.

04:20.30 – 04:21.32

Jim Comey, the FBI director.

04:21.40 – 04:23.24

Remember, he gives the whole speech about Hillary.

04:23.46 – 04:24.20

You guys remember this?

04:24.24 – 04:28.02

And he says at the end, and we're going to leave her alone because no prosecutor would

04:28.02 – 04:28.42

prosecute this.

04:28.48 – 04:31.38

And everybody was like, what just happened, right?

04:32.44 – 04:33.08

More in a minute.

04:33.20 – 04:36.48

But first, my folks, central banks are dumping the U.S. dollar.

04:36.58 – 04:36.74

Why?

04:36.84 – 04:39.94

Because of inflation, deficit spending and our insurmountable national debt.

04:40.06 – 04:41.22

That's bad news for the dollar.

04:41.36 – 04:42.32

Bad news for your savings.

04:42.32 – 04:46.68

But the fact remains, there's one asset that's withstood famine, wars and economic upheaval

04:46.68 – 04:48.48

dating back to biblical times.

04:49.08 – 04:49.48

Gold.

04:49.84 – 04:50.60

I buy gold.

04:50.76 – 04:53.26

I bought it often from Birch Gold Group, B-I-R-C-H.

04:53.80 – 04:57.04

You can own gold in a tax-sheltered retirement account with the help of Birch Gold.

04:57.38 – 05:01.62

They'll help you convert an existing IRA or 401k, maybe from a previous employer, into

05:01.62 – 05:02.48

an IRA in gold.

05:02.58 – 05:03.20

And the best part?

05:03.30 – 05:04.38

You don't pay a penny out of pocket.

05:05.28 – 05:09.94

Text DAN, my first name, to 989898 and claim your free information kit on gold.

05:09.94 – 05:10.88

Think about this.

05:10.92 – 05:14.02

When the banks faltered, the stock market faltered, and gold, what did it do?

05:14.12 – 05:14.76

It surged.

05:15.32 – 05:16.76

Protect your savings today with gold.

05:16.84 – 05:17.20

Don't wait.

05:17.36 – 05:21.02

Birch has an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and thousands of happy customers,

05:21.24 – 05:22.06

me included.

05:29.20 – 05:31.16

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

05:31.72 – 05:32.96

Message and data rates apply.

05:33.08 – 05:33.74

Thanks, Birch Gold.

05:33.74 – 05:40.02

Where did Comey get the idea to exonerate Hillary, saying, oh, well, she didn't do it

05:40.02 – 05:43.46

on purpose, and we're not sure it was any national security issue?

05:43.84 – 05:46.68

The answer is Comey got it from Obama.

05:47.22 – 05:48.64

Look at the speech he gave.

05:49.16 – 05:54.22

He said Hillary had shown carelessness with her private emails, but insisted, Obama did,

05:54.48 – 05:58.74

that Hillary had not intended to endanger national security, which, ladies and gentlemen,

05:58.84 – 06:03.46

as Andy McCarthy, who's a lawyer, accurately notes, it doesn't matter if you intended to

06:03.46 – 06:04.80

endanger national security.

06:05.10 – 06:07.60

All that matters is you traffic classified information.

06:08.60 – 06:13.10

President Obama acknowledged that classified information had been transmitted via Secretary

06:13.10 – 06:17.28

Clinton's server, but suggested that, in the greater scheme of things, its importance had

06:17.28 – 06:18.40

been vastly overstated.

06:19.10 – 06:21.52

Now, here's where it gets, you gots Obama.

06:21.66 – 06:22.78

You got Obama on the record?

06:23.16 – 06:23.32

Yeah, bud.

06:24.86 – 06:26.96

It was just July 5th.

06:27.12 – 06:29.46

Again, July after April, Joe just confirmed it.

06:30.26 – 06:35.50

Here's Comey's speech, where he uses the exact same talking points as Obama.

06:36.30 – 06:41.04

Hillary Clinton had been extremely careless with her private email server, but Comey insisted

06:41.04 – 06:43.60

she had not intended to endanger national security.

06:43.92 – 06:50.86

Again, totally not relevant, and the exact same freaking talking point as one Barack

06:50.86 – 06:51.40

Obama.

06:51.96 – 06:57.02

The director acknowledged the classified info had been transmitted by the server, but suggested,

06:57.02 – 07:00.52

in the greater scheme of things, it was a small percentage of the emails involved.

07:00.86 – 07:06.10

The exact same talking point Obama put out there.

07:07.78 – 07:12.92

Obama's protecting himself using the FBI director, because why?

07:13.24 – 07:18.98

Because as Andy McCarthy notes, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, as we all know, and Obama

07:18.98 – 07:25.84

knew at the time, the president himself, himself, himself, had communicated with Hillary Clinton

07:25.84 – 07:30.18

over her non-secure private communication server, using an alias.

07:30.46 – 07:33.20

Oh, haven't heard about that in the media, have you?

07:33.50 – 07:35.62

Looky here, looky here.

07:35.82 – 07:36.74

So interesting.

07:37.26 – 07:41.26

The Obama administration, he notes, refused to disclose these several email exchanges,

07:41.58 – 07:46.30

because they undoubtedly involve classified conversations between the president and secretary

07:46.30 – 07:46.72

of state.

07:47.16 – 07:50.00

Holy, that sounds really bad.

07:51.48 – 07:55.66

It wouldn't have been possible to prosecute Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified

07:55.66 – 08:01.86

info without it being clear that President Obama had engaged in the exact same conduct.

08:02.70 – 08:09.52

The Obama administration, wait, wait, there's a media, oh, that's what we're hearing from

08:09.52 – 08:10.32

the media on this.

08:10.58 – 08:13.96

That's right, that's right, crickets, crickets.

08:14.48 – 08:17.50

The administration was never, ever going to allow that to happen.

08:17.58 – 08:18.54

You're damn right they were.

08:19.00 – 08:20.36

Does it all make sense to you now?

08:20.76 – 08:22.20

Folks, I always bring the receipts.

08:22.88 – 08:24.86

Really, thank you to Judy for that.

08:24.86 – 08:28.00

That's a show we did, and she had the numbers.

08:28.10 – 08:29.36

She sent me an email with the number.

08:30.12 – 08:33.40

Forgive me, I don't remember off the top of my head what number episode that was.

08:33.80 – 08:35.50

We already pointed this out.

08:35.80 – 08:40.58

Now that the Durham report is out, saying exactly that, that, listen, they never had

08:40.58 – 08:44.04

any evidence to start this investigation against Trump for collusion.

08:44.38 – 08:47.44

It was clearly a distraction from Hillary Clinton's email.

08:47.80 – 08:49.86

I want you to never say that again.

08:50.12 – 08:52.90

It was a distraction from Obama's email scandal.

08:55.30 – 08:57.18

Hillary was just an adjunct.

08:57.76 – 08:59.22

They're protecting Obama.

08:59.36 – 09:00.32

They don't care about Hillary.

09:01.54 – 09:04.44

Folks, the FBI, of course, was a central player in this.

09:04.74 – 09:08.76

Jim Comey, I mean, echoing exactly Obama's talking points.

09:09.06 – 09:10.20

Here's a platter, Jim.

09:10.36 – 09:11.08

It's silver.

09:11.38 – 09:12.62

Here are your talking points.

09:12.90 – 09:13.16

Great.

09:13.40 – 09:15.88

Matter of fact, I got 13 silver platters for you.

09:16.14 – 09:17.54

Judas, here you go, buddy.

09:17.80 – 09:18.72

Sell out the country.

09:18.98 – 09:20.10

Gives the same speech.

09:20.76 – 09:23.72

Now we find out the other day something else I told.

09:23.82 – 09:24.10

I'm sorry.

09:24.14 – 09:25.72

I don't want to say because it sounds dorky.

09:25.76 – 09:26.26

Hey, look at me.

09:26.34 – 09:27.62

I told you I don't really care.

09:27.78 – 09:29.62

I just don't want you to think you're wasting your time here.

09:29.86 – 09:30.58

I'm very sorry.

09:30.98 – 09:33.82

I promise you I'm not like trying to brag about anything because a lot of other smart

09:33.82 – 09:36.24

people did the same thing, knew this story.

09:36.54 – 09:40.90

But I warned you back then, too, when I broke this Spygate story wide open, wrote three

09:40.90 – 09:41.94

books on this mofo.

09:42.26 – 09:48.72

I told you that the FBI was abusing the warrantless search system where they can go in and spy

09:48.72 – 09:49.48

on metadata.

09:49.48 – 09:51.46

Now, look, ding, ding, ding.

09:51.80 – 09:55.58

A year later, after a report came out, we're just finding out about this now.

09:55.66 – 09:56.72

This report came out a year ago.

09:56.76 – 09:57.56

I need you to understand that.

09:57.92 – 10:00.18

You can read this article in my newsletter today as well.

10:00.98 – 10:08.62

The FBI broke the law with over 278,000 illegal searches on Americans.

10:09.34 – 10:10.72

Wait, is that 278?

10:10.76 – 10:12.26

No, no, 278,000.

10:14.60 – 10:21.26

Section 702 of the FISA Act database, which allows them to target suspects for foreign

10:21.26 – 10:26.64

intelligence purposes, turns out they were targeting suspects of the January 6th riot,

10:26.76 – 10:32.90

according to Reclaim the Net, the George Floyd protesters, victims of crimes, and donors

10:32.90 – 10:37.54

to a congressional candidate, according to a recently unsealed court document that's

10:37.54 – 10:38.38

a year old.

10:39.66 – 10:44.66

So again, to members of Congress and others, with due respect, why are we not having this

10:44.66 – 10:48.52

conversation about disbanding the FBI as we now know it?

10:48.60 – 10:53.86

It is clearly, at least at the top, I don't know how far down it filters, because we have

10:53.86 – 10:58.70

had some good people come forward, it has clearly been targeting Americans and the Constitution

10:58.70 – 11:02.28

and has no allegiance whatsoever to their real mission.

11:04.54 – 11:06.06

Abolish it right now.

11:06.50 – 11:07.26

Start over.

11:07.26 – 11:10.36

Send the ones that are doing their job to other entities, period.
