[00:00.00 - 00:02.60]

In these crazy times, there's peace of mind and security.

[00:02.84 - 00:04.76]

But think about this, you're not financially secure

[00:04.76 - 00:06.14]

if all your eggs are in one basket.

[00:06.32 - 00:08.14]

Gold and silver can be an excellent way

[00:08.14 - 00:09.50]

to diversify your savings.

Dan Bongino.

[00:31.08 - 00:33.52]

Welcome to the Bongino Brief, I'm Dan Bongino.

[00:34.42 - 00:36.64]

Folks, desperation time is kicking in now.

[00:37.50 - 00:39.72]

You know, I need everybody to listen to me for a minute.

[00:41.98 - 00:46.62]

This is the most important election of our lifetime.

[00:47.32 - 00:48.90]

I know you've heard that before.

[00:49.84 - 00:52.36]

Scrap everything you've heard before, that's a fact.

[00:54.06 - 00:56.40]

Sunday, I had to take it easy, long story,

[00:56.40 - 00:58.26]

but I wasn't feeling that great.

[00:58.76 - 01:02.44]

And I was sitting on the couch, and I feel good today, so.

[01:04.40 - 01:07.20]

I was sitting on the couch and I decided to give a watch

[01:07.20 - 01:10.92]

to Hillbilly Elegy, it's J.D. Vance's autobiography,

[01:11.10 - 01:13.90]

our new vice presidential nominee for the Trump ticket.

[01:15.12 - 01:17.54]

I like J.D. Vance, and I have for a long time.

[01:17.86 - 01:19.40]

You're free to support whoever you like.

[01:19.70 - 01:21.80]

I love J.D. Vance, I like him a lot.

[01:21.86 - 01:24.32]

Don't agree with him on everything, but I don't have to.

[01:24.32 - 01:28.66]

I need decent people in charge, and if I'm with you 80%,

[01:28.66 - 01:31.00]

the other 20 we can negotiate on, okay?

[01:32.88 - 01:34.70]

I know this guy to be a decent guy.

[01:34.80 - 01:35.96]

Have you seen Hillbilly Elegy?

[01:36.08 - 01:37.04]

Folks in the chat, anyone?

[01:38.06 - 01:39.96]

If you haven't seen it or read the book,

[01:40.98 - 01:44.52]

you can knock J.D. Vance for whatever you like, policy-wise.

[01:45.14 - 01:46.30]

This guy's backstory,

[01:48.44 - 01:52.24]

having dealt with a family member with addiction,

[01:52.44 - 01:53.80]

I recently lost,

[01:54.32 - 01:57.20]

I was having a tough time with the Kleenex,

[01:57.26 - 01:57.90]

if you know what I mean.

[01:58.06 - 01:59.42]

And I gotta tell you, I don't really care

[01:59.42 - 02:01.90]

if it sounds like I got a turn in my man card.

[02:01.96 - 02:03.40]

I was having a tough time with the movie.

[02:04.18 - 02:06.42]

It's an amazing movie about his backstory,

[02:06.94 - 02:08.78]

but it really impacted me deep.

[02:10.38 - 02:13.36]

This guy has a resume like we've never seen before.

[02:14.68 - 02:19.04]

United States Marine, entrepreneur, lawyer,

[02:19.62 - 02:23.22]

United States Senator from Ohio, and he's only 39.

[02:24.62 - 02:26.98]

What he dealt with in his past is unbelievable.

[02:28.16 - 02:29.52]

Why am I saying that now?

[02:29.58 - 02:30.84]

I don't need to sell him, he's the nominee.

[02:32.14 - 02:36.30]

The attacks by the establishment right on J.D. Vance, right.

[02:37.06 - 02:38.48]

Well, we expect this from the left,

[02:39.16 - 02:40.20]

are freaking disgusting.

[02:41.30 - 02:42.46]

Guys make me sick.

[02:45.44 - 02:47.76]

I have an expression I say a lot on the show,

[02:47.88 - 02:49.72]

haven't said in a while, but you know it's true.

[02:49.78 - 02:50.84]

It's one of my golden rules.

[02:51.76 - 02:54.72]

It's that most Republicans on Capitol Hill

[02:54.72 - 02:58.52]

are really Democrats, but no Democrats are really Republicans.

[02:59.56 - 03:04.78]

Watch how the right-wing media handles Kamala Harris

[03:04.78 - 03:08.50]

versus how the left-wing media handles J.D. Vance.

[03:09.26 - 03:12.42]

The fact that establishment Republicans out there

[03:12.42 - 03:19.78]

are attacking J.D. Vance, that he's weird, he's weird.

[03:19.78 - 03:19.90]

Weird.

[03:21.68 - 03:22.40]

Weird.

[03:24.26 - 03:29.48]

United States Marine, capitalist, made,

[03:33.86 - 03:38.58]

I mean, I'm really hurt by the whole, he's weird?

[03:41.74 - 03:45.56]

You got a woman on the other side, a cackling lunatic,

[03:46.02 - 03:49.38]

who you say anything about her that's true, by the way,

[03:49.92 - 03:51.24]

borders are whatsoever.

[03:51.98 - 03:53.44]

You've got establishment conservatives,

[03:53.54 - 03:55.16]

oh, don't say that, don't say that, don't say that,

[03:55.16 - 03:55.90]

even though it's true.

[03:56.62 - 03:59.04]

And then they lie about J.D. Vance,

[03:59.90 - 04:01.44]

and it's the weirdest thing.

[04:01.56 - 04:03.34]

Like, you got establishment conservatives like,

[04:03.40 - 04:04.80]

oh, maybe Trump made the wrong choice.

[04:05.04 - 04:06.54]

The wrong, are you insane?

[04:09.14 - 04:12.28]

Grow a pair of motherfucking balls.

[04:13.68 - 04:17.66]

You've got the best candidate you've seen in eons

[04:17.66 - 04:19.86]

in the VP spot, and you're shitting on this guy

[04:19.86 - 04:23.58]

because a bunch of crazily cackling Kamala supporters,

[04:23.92 - 04:25.76]

you want their support because you think you're,

[04:25.94 - 04:27.78]

you want to look like the reasonable guy,

[04:28.02 - 04:29.76]

and you're shitting on this guy

[04:29.76 - 04:31.88]

despite everything he's done for this country?

[04:32.98 - 04:34.76]

Hey, you have that J.D. clip at the,

[04:34.76 - 04:36.22]

I know we were gonna play another one next,

[04:36.32 - 04:38.86]

but the clip at the, yeah, yeah, that one on the screen.

[04:39.18 - 04:39.78]

Listen to me.

[04:40.86 - 04:42.48]

I want you to listen to this.

[04:43.88 - 04:46.64]

And I'm asking, to you out there who are the diehards,

[04:46.64 - 04:48.48]

I love you, this is not directed at you.

[04:48.60 - 04:49.68]

You can turn the show off.

[04:49.88 - 04:50.68]

Well, don't, but you could.

[04:51.48 - 04:54.10]

To the establishment shitheads attacking this guy,

[04:56.86 - 04:58.04]

you're dead to me, man.

[04:58.70 - 04:59.64]

You're dead to me.

[05:00.54 - 05:02.30]

This is a good and decent guy,

[05:03.24 - 05:06.22]

and you're ripping this guy apart over nothing.

[05:07.52 - 05:09.04]

More in a minute, but first.

[05:09.90 - 05:12.34]

This podcast is sponsored by MD Hearing.

[05:12.66 - 05:14.42]

I was reading recently that hearing loss

[05:14.42 - 05:16.14]

can be directly correlated with dementia.

[05:16.14 - 05:18.68]

It's 2024, you're still paying thousands of dollars

[05:18.68 - 05:20.38]

for hearing aids that don't even work right?

[05:21.18 - 05:24.30]

MD Hearing is an FDA-registered rechargeable hearing aid

[05:24.30 - 05:26.72]

that costs a fraction of what typical hearing aids cost.

[05:27.34 - 05:30.08]

MD Hearing's Neo model costs over 90% less

[05:30.08 - 05:31.16]

than clinic hearing aids.

[05:31.62 - 05:33.36]

The Neo fits inside your ear,

[05:33.46 - 05:34.94]

so no one will even know it's there.

[05:35.04 - 05:37.70]

Plus, MD Hearing just launched the Neo XS,

[05:37.90 - 05:39.62]

MD Hearing's smallest hearing aid ever.

[05:40.32 - 05:42.44]

MD Hearing was founded by an ENT surgeon

[05:42.44 - 05:45.00]

who made it his mission to develop a quality hearing aid

[05:45.00 - 05:46.12]

that anyone could afford.

[05:46.62 - 05:49.40]

It's crazy how good the quality is at only $297.

[05:49.80 - 05:53.42]

Plus, MD Hearing has sold over 1.5 million hearing aids,

[05:53.70 - 05:55.84]

and they offer a 45-day risk-free trial

[05:55.84 - 05:57.62]

with a 100% money-back guarantee.

[05:58.44 - 06:00.20]

[06:16.58 - 06:19.80]

[06:20.54 - 06:23.10]

Kamala Harris, of course, loser who's done nothing

[06:23.10 - 06:26.26]

for this country in case, absent destroying it,

[06:27.20 - 06:29.64]

she attacked him for his patriotism, J.D. Vance.

[06:29.70 - 06:29.98]

Really?

[06:30.60 - 06:32.28]

Is Kamala in the Marine Corps in Iraq?

[06:32.40 - 06:33.50]

I'm not, I don't see that.

[06:35.00 - 06:36.60]

It was J.D. Vance responding.

[06:36.82 - 06:38.68]

This is the guy, and this is the guy

[06:38.68 - 06:40.32]

we're going to battle with on that ticket.

[06:40.78 - 06:42.98]

Get on the train or get run over, buy it.

[06:43.42 - 06:45.54]

Don't fall into this leftist messaging trap.

[06:45.70 - 06:46.14]

Take a look.

[06:46.44 - 06:49.44]

I saw the other day Kamala Harris questioned

[06:49.44 - 06:51.06]

my loyalty to this country.

[06:51.22 - 06:52.50]

That's the word she used, loyalty.

[06:54.36 - 06:57.88]

And it's an interesting word, simplify, loyalty,

[06:58.78 - 07:01.72]

because there is no greater sign of this loyalty

[07:01.72 - 07:05.08]

to this country than what Kamala Harris has done

[07:05.08 - 07:05.98]

at our southern border.

[07:07.30 - 07:09.22]

And I'd like to ask the Vice President,

[07:10.14 - 07:14.08]

what has she done to question my loyalty to this country?

[07:14.66 - 07:17.38]

I served in the United States Marine Corps.

[07:17.66 - 07:21.14]

I went to Iraq for this country.

[07:30.62 - 07:33.18]

I built a business for this country.

[07:35.46 - 07:38.26]

And my running mate took a bullet for this country.

?
Unknown Speaker
[07:39.50 - 07:41.88]

So my question to Kamala Harris is,

[07:41.98 - 07:45.16]

what the hell have you done to question our loyalty

[07:45.16 - 07:47.06]

to the United States of America?

1
Speaker 1
[07:51.54 - 07:52.50]

Amen, brother.

[07:54.64 - 07:55.90]

Folks, I get it, man.

[07:56.78 - 07:57.38]

I get it.

[07:57.48 - 07:58.06]

I understand.

[07:58.26 - 08:01.06]

You're never going to get a nominee at the top

[08:01.06 - 08:02.18]

or in the VP spot.

[08:02.24 - 08:03.38]

You're going to agree with on everything.

[08:03.50 - 08:03.98]

I understand.

[08:05.32 - 08:08.70]

It may shock you that I say I have been a Trump supporter

[08:08.70 - 08:15.82]

and a diehard for, gosh, eight years, six years now.

[08:15.86 - 08:16.46]

I don't know.

[08:16.80 - 08:19.46]

I mean, everybody was abandoning me for other candidates.

[08:19.66 - 08:20.30]

Not this show.

[08:21.00 - 08:21.72]

Go back and look.

[08:22.22 - 08:23.50]

Track record speaks for itself.

[08:24.66 - 08:25.64]

May surprise you, I don't agree

[08:25.64 - 08:26.56]

with Donald Trump on everything.

[08:28.56 - 08:29.36]

I don't.

[08:30.62 - 08:32.20]

But I agree with him on a lot of things.

[08:33.16 - 08:34.92]

I don't agree with J.D. on everything, too.

[08:35.80 - 08:38.32]

I'm not a huge fan of Lena Khan at the FTC.

[08:40.16 - 08:42.86]

But this guy is a patriot, man.

[08:45.62 - 08:48.48]

And all, all of the right,

[08:48.60 - 08:51.46]

and by right, I mean wrong people, hate J.D. Vance.

[08:51.88 - 08:54.26]

And I'm telling you, establishment hacks out there

[08:54.26 - 08:55.68]

are trying to dismantle this guy.

[08:57.04 - 08:58.02]

You're dead to me.

[08:58.14 - 08:59.56]

Don't ask to come on my show.

[09:00.26 - 09:02.32]

I want nothing to do with you at all.

[09:02.82 - 09:04.06]

You're as bad as Democrats.

[09:04.74 - 09:07.76]

You've got the worst candidate we have ever seen

[09:07.76 - 09:10.78]

without a brain disorder in Kamala Harris,

[09:11.08 - 09:13.22]

and you wasted the entire weekend

[09:13.82 - 09:18.40]

on some ridiculous comment about a cat from years ago

[09:18.40 - 09:20.58]

that has nothing to do with anything.

[09:20.90 - 09:24.50]

The country is on the brink of collapse economically.

[09:24.80 - 09:28.18]

Our military being hijacked by DEI lunatics.

[09:28.48 - 09:30.90]

We've got our infrastructure falling apart.

[09:30.90 - 09:34.50]

You've got this guy with the most amazing backstory,

[09:34.96 - 09:37.50]

spent time in our military, and by the way,

[09:37.82 - 09:40.74]

he rarely brags about it or talks about it,

[09:40.80 - 09:42.58]

but it's a biographical fact.

[09:42.80 - 09:45.24]

And we're shitting on this guy all weekend,

[09:45.48 - 09:49.96]

and you got establishment GOP shit stains out there

[09:49.96 - 09:51.26]

going, oh man, I don't know,

[09:51.38 - 09:53.30]

maybe we should swap out the ticket.

[09:53.62 - 09:53.92]

Really?

[09:54.28 - 09:54.88]

For who?

[09:55.62 - 09:57.20]

Who do you want back, Jeb Bush?

[09:57.20 - 10:03.00]

I am so sick of these people.

[10:03.40 - 10:06.22]

You have absolutely ruined our party.

[10:07.58 - 10:08.52]

You've ruined it.

[10:10.04 - 10:12.62]

This is what we should be focusing on.

[10:13.08 - 10:14.90]

You wanna see this media mashup?

[10:15.26 - 10:16.90]

The Democrats, you don't see them

[10:16.90 - 10:18.94]

attacking Kamala Harris anymore, do you?

[10:19.94 - 10:20.98]

But they did.

[10:21.74 - 10:22.96]

But they did.

[10:23.82 - 10:26.12]

I'm gonna show you this media mashup in a second

[10:26.12 - 10:27.18]

where they told you how awful they are.

[10:27.18 - 10:28.54]

How awful Kamala Harris was

[10:28.54 - 10:30.24]

because they wanted another candidate.

[10:30.58 - 10:32.42]

Here's the difference between the left

[10:32.42 - 10:33.86]

and the establishment right.

[10:34.00 - 10:35.38]

Not you, but the establishment right.

[10:35.70 - 10:36.54]

They're not phonies.

[10:36.82 - 10:38.82]

They're not, no, no, they're commies.

[10:39.06 - 10:40.18]

They're not fake about it.

[10:40.82 - 10:42.10]

They're straight up communists.

[10:42.52 - 10:43.92]

There's nothing fake about that.

[10:44.40 - 10:46.12]

They are actual communists who are like,

[10:46.44 - 10:48.22]

yeah, I said Kamala sucks a month ago,

[10:48.30 - 10:50.30]

but now that she's my only path to power,

[10:50.42 - 10:51.28]

now she's awesome.

?
Unknown Speaker
[10:52.30 - 10:53.04]

That's not fake.

1
Speaker 1
[10:54.22 - 10:55.34]

They're not fake at all.

[10:55.34 - 10:57.28]

Our establishment guys are fake.

[10:57.64 - 10:59.04]

Eh, I don't like J.D. Vance.

[10:59.50 - 11:01.10]

They don't even know J.D. Vance.

[11:01.44 - 11:03.50]

They're just pissed off their guy didn't get picked.

[11:04.32 - 11:05.96]

This is what we're running against.

[11:06.18 - 11:08.12]

But notice how quickly they changed their minds

[11:08.12 - 11:10.70]

and backed their guy while we're selling out ours.

[11:11.40 - 11:12.02]

Check this out.

[11:12.40 - 11:13.74]

There are reports that say that you have

[11:13.74 - 11:16.18]

the lowest approval rating of any vice president.

[11:16.28 - 11:17.70]

Well, there are polls that also say

[11:17.70 - 11:19.16]

I have great approval ratings.

[11:20.10 - 11:21.80]

Swing voters don't like Harris.

[11:22.30 - 11:25.06]

How big a drag is Kamala Harris on the ticket?

[11:25.06 - 11:26.02]

She's a pretty big drag.

[11:26.08 - 11:29.14]

I think she was arguably Biden's worst political decision.

[11:29.30 - 11:29.84]

They don't like her.

[11:29.92 - 11:31.24]

There's lots of reasons they don't like her.

[11:31.38 - 11:34.32]

Kamala Harris's approval rating is now at 28%,

[11:34.32 - 11:37.94]

which is an historic low for any modern vice president.

[11:38.04 - 11:40.08]

We're hearing it from mainstream media.

[11:40.38 - 11:42.20]

One outlet after another.

[11:42.74 - 11:44.32]

One leak after another.

[11:45.12 - 11:47.74]

That Kamala Harris is the worst vice president ever,

[11:47.82 - 11:49.70]

the worst politician ever.

[11:49.80 - 11:51.04]

We don't see the vice president.

[11:52.10 - 11:53.32]

What people are saying to me,

[11:53.32 - 11:54.24]

and I'm sure they're saying it to you,

[11:54.24 - 11:55.44]

where's the vice president?

[11:55.72 - 11:56.86]

Some White House officials are feeling

[11:56.86 - 11:59.00]

that she came off looking unprepared

[11:59.00 - 12:00.92]

for inevitable questions about

[12:00.92 - 12:02.90]

when she might visit the southern border.

[12:03.10 - 12:04.04]

We've been to the border.

[12:04.14 - 12:04.94]

You haven't been to the border.

[12:06.00 - 12:07.60]

And I haven't been to Europe.

[12:08.32 - 12:11.60]

And I don't understand the point that you're making.

[12:11.74 - 12:14.54]

The point that Lester Holt was making was obvious

[12:14.54 - 12:16.74]

to anyone else who was watching this interview,

[12:16.94 - 12:19.50]

which is that the issues at the border

[12:19.50 - 12:22.10]

are inextricably linked with the portfolio

[12:22.10 - 12:23.12]

that she's been given.

[12:23.80 - 12:26.40]

Notice this will all be memory hold.

[12:26.58 - 12:26.88]

Why?

[12:27.36 - 12:30.52]

Because the establishment left is not phony

[12:30.52 - 12:32.52]

or fake like the establishment right.

[12:32.84 - 12:33.44]

They're not.

[12:34.06 - 12:37.06]

The establishment right pretends to be conservative,

[12:37.40 - 12:39.78]

lovers of liberty and prosperity and on our team.

[12:40.14 - 12:42.04]

And the minute they can sell us out

[12:42.04 - 12:44.44]

by attacking a guy like J.D. Vance,

[12:44.60 - 12:48.70]

they do that because they want to look like

[12:48.70 - 12:51.32]

the reasonable, sane ones to the people

[12:51.32 - 12:52.50]

that hate them at the Washington Post.

[12:53.40 - 12:54.96]

The left's not fake at all.

[12:55.34 - 12:57.94]

The left are like, we are straight up commies.

[12:58.38 - 13:00.42]

We will do anything to maintain power.

[13:00.74 - 13:02.60]

Matter of fact, I'm going to show you we'll do anything.

[13:03.08 - 13:05.64]

We told you Kamala sucks when we wanted her out

[13:05.64 - 13:06.46]

for a better candidate.

[13:06.88 - 13:08.40]

Now that we don't have a better candidate

[13:08.40 - 13:10.60]

and we're stuck with the worst candidate, Kamala Harris,

[13:11.06 - 13:12.88]

we're going to do a bunch of puff pieces

[13:12.88 - 13:15.28]

telling you how wonderful Kamala Harris is.

[13:15.36 - 13:17.90]

Avita just said it right, but enemies like that, you know.

[13:18.56 - 13:20.46]

I mean, would Fred say, who are these enemies, right?

[13:20.98 - 13:23.66]

I mean, these people don't care.

[13:23.92 - 13:25.36]

They are in this to win.

[13:26.22 - 13:29.98]

Our guys are in this fighting some faux moral hierarchy.

[13:30.12 - 13:30.70]

Well, look at me.

[13:31.12 - 13:33.12]

Call out J.D. Vance, made a comment about a cat.

[13:36.84 - 13:38.64]

This is why I'm telling you, man,

[13:39.26 - 13:42.12]

you better vote like you're freaking 10 points behind.
