Dan Bongino Welcome to the Bongino brief. I'm Dan Bongino. Nobody likes hate speech. Now, for a second, I'm just asking the conservatives and libertarians, who comprise the large majority of my audience.

Don't look at it through your lens. You know that the hate speech label is a canard, you know, it's all Bs. Look at it from someone who's marginally interested in politics, who's maybe listening to this show for the first time. We all had a first time, folks, right?

We tuned in, we heard Mark Levin on the radio, heard Hannity Beck or whatever. Rush Limbaugh back in the day and you're like, Gosh, that's interesting. I'm going to become a conservative talk radio consumer, right? Then they hear hate speech, they think, Yeah, yeah, no one wants hate speech. That's virulent.

That's really awful stuff the left doesn't care about that. Do you notice? They call us the most vile, disgusting of names fascists, nazis, racists, misogynists, conservatives at it.

They clearly don't care about it. And disinformation. The left wants to get disinformation off their platform. It's the left that promoted a fake peepee tape, a collusion scam that didn't exist. The Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. They're the ones involved in the Covid.

Nonsense masks will prevent Covid, They do nothing of the sort. The vaccine prevents transmission of Covid, it does nothing of the sort.

They're the ones engaged in the hate speech and the disinformation. This is just beautiful. This is a video of Elon Musk, so Elon Musk is interviewing with this BBC reporter who again has fallen into this cliched trap. Of, you know, Twitter's turned right wing and therefore is full of hate speech and disinformation. You would think, at his fingertips.

He would have examples of this. Supposed to be a journalist, right? You're making a big, bold assertion that you found nasty hate speech on a platform. Just come up with one example. It really shouldn't be that hard.

And it was watch yourself.

They've got the Occupy Democrats feed full of hate filled stuff. I don't want them banned, so I'm not going to call it hate speech, even though it's hate filled. If you're going to use it as a vehicle to ban someone I disagree with because I'm not a hypocrite and I actually value free speech. You got to understand, man.

This is what makes us categorically different than these idiots. This guy in the media is obviously some socialist activist, whether he knows it or not, he does not want other ideas out there that challenges his hegemonic view of the world. So he's going to put whatever gory, ugly label he can on it to make it appear ugly and nasty. So that you'll support his efforts to get rid of it.

The problem is, he can't even cite a single example. The greatest irony of all is that guys like this are protected via our Constitution and the First Amendment. To put out their own form of hate filled speech, even though I'm not going to call it hate speech. More in a minute, but first, relief ban, you got to check out relief ban.

How this is all a pretext, this hate speech label and disinformation stuff, or just fancy focus group tested labels that gets you on the censorship train.

That is all this is, this is nothing more. Nobody on the left, nobody is trying to stop either disinformation or hate speech, no one. I want to be absolutely clear on that.

Here, listen to sacks. This is good.

It's about narrative control. It's not like we want more hate on the platform, it's just that we want a level playing field. We don't want the thought police at Twitter putting their thumb on the scale of American democracy and deciding who has a voice and who doesn't. That's what this is really about.

And I think that the people who believe in censorship want to make you think that this is about allowing more hate, and it's not.

There's a Russian collusion scandal. How do you get people to believe that you lie? you lie? Often they did that.

You lie confidently. They did that too, intelligence experts say, but you've got to isolate people from the truth. I've said this over and over.

Censorship online is the only way to isolate people from the truth. That's why that AI topic yesterday was just so fascinating to me. We got a lot of feedback on that, it did a ton of views. I'm going to be covering it again on my Fox show at 9 o'clock on Saturday, trying to get David Sachs right now.

You know, it's just stunning to me too. Before I got in here today, I was thinking, this younger generation, I don't know how you all feel about this too. In the chat or out there in the listening audience, listening on podcast afterwards. You know, when I was younger, I know you too, Joe. Being a musician, you were probably as bohemian as it gets, man. But I had a bumper sticker on my car that said, question authority.

I've told the story before. There was a white bumper sticker, it said it in red. Question authority. Because I just never wanted to be told what to do. Even now I'm not saying it's always a good thing. I could be very stubborn.

Sometimes it's caused me some headaches, but especially as a kid, I never want to be told what to do. I just can't get, and most of my friends were the same way. By the way, I can't get past this. That this generation of kids, they've lost that independent, renegade, misfit streak, and all they want to do is be told what to do.

That's it what. They want the government to take their money. They want Big Daddy to pay off their loans, they want a guaranteed income despite not having to work. They want to be told what to do if they own a business by big Daddy government.

They want to go to big daddy government for their health care. They want to be told you know how and when and why and who they should vote for. They want to be told online what they can and can't say. I mean, am I missing something for the parents out there listening to this show? What happened?

Gosh.

Man, we had the Hippies generation, followed by, you know, my generation, into this generation now that just they just want to be dog walked around. I don't understand. Listen, we don't push to silence them because they can't even defend their own positions to the left. I don't push to silence them on principle alone. Because infringing on people's free speech is morally and ethically wrong, and leads eventually to the death of a lot of. To the tyranny we've been trying to avoid as the anti-anti-communist.

Everybody understand. However, from a tactical perspective here, I don't push to silence the left outside of the morals and ethics I just discussed, because it's inefficient the left. In my experience, I've run for office three times, but on television 11 years. I've done innumerable debates between Geraldo, My show, The Rebuttal segment on Fox Collins. When I used to be a guest on Hannity's radio, I would debate all the time. I dated that David Mark guy, whatever his name is.

I used to debate all the time. Lefties, debating us is the best thing that can happen. Silencing them is the worst thing. Because folks, they can never defend their own positions, their positions are ridiculous.

On the Second Amendment, oh, we got to get rid of the guns. Well, you've tried that, you've tried that in liberal cities where you have strict gun laws. How's it worked out?

They can't defend it, they can't defend it. The tax issue Oh, you believe higher taxes are a net public good? Do you pay more?

No, I don't. Well, why not? You said they're a net public good, you'd be doing the public a service. why don't you do it?

Oh, you want government run healthcare, but you don't want to give up your private insurance. You don't like school choice, but you want to choose to send your kid to school. None of their arguments are defensible. We invite them on our shows, we invite them on our shows because we don't want to silence them, because when they speak out, they look like buffoons.
