00:38.92 – 00:40.90

Welcome to the Bongino Brief.

00:40.98 – 00:41.78

I'm Dan Bongino.

4Speaker 4
00:42.40 – 00:43.86

Look at this.

00:44.24 – 00:45.24

Look at this.

00:45.84 – 00:46.68

Lookie here.

00:47.48 – 00:50.30

So this is why I told you in the beginning of the show,

00:50.60 – 00:54.92

whether you're a Trump supporter, a Vivek supporter, a Nikki Haley supporter,

00:55.56 – 00:58.02

a Twinkies Chris Christie supporter, it doesn't matter.

00:58.02 – 01:01.10

The debate matter because Gavin Newsom will be the nominee.

01:01.50 – 01:03.68

What does this have to do with this story?

01:04.10 – 01:08.16

Folks, the situation with Biden is not going to get any better.

01:08.58 – 01:12.14

Do I think that the Hunter Biden stuff is going to be the thing that takes them down?

01:12.26 – 01:13.06

I do not.

01:13.12 – 01:13.84

And I'll tell you why.

01:14.26 – 01:17.88

Because the House doesn't have the votes right now to impeach this guy.

01:18.06 – 01:20.48

It's just going to be another nail in this guy's coffin.

01:20.58 – 01:23.80

And now they find out, according to the New York Post, that a bank watchdog,

01:23.98 – 01:26.40

in other words, a money laundering expert that works for the bank,

01:26.40 – 01:29.06

who has nothing to do with politics at all,

01:29.40 – 01:32.84

back in 2018, before the Hunter laptop was even public,

01:33.38 – 01:37.12

apparently sent this email about Hunter receiving millions of dollars

01:37.12 – 01:40.34

from a Chinese government-linked business without, quote,

01:40.66 – 01:45.18

any services rendered, according to this email, which will show up here next.

01:45.64 – 01:51.82

Folks, this bank dude, this money laundering guy, has nothing to do with politics at all.

01:51.82 – 01:57.52

He expressed concern that Hunter Biden wasn't providing any actual services for the money,

01:57.80 – 02:00.04

and the transfer was more than $5 million.

02:01.30 – 02:06.86

Within days of Hunter Biden saying to this Chinese Communist Party guy

02:07.68 – 02:12.22

threatening his father's wrath, the expert noted that the funds were described

02:12.22 – 02:16.36

as a loan, but provided no evidence it was a loan at all.

02:16.36 – 02:19.94

Look at this, folks.

02:20.14 – 02:22.98

This guy is in the deepest of shit.

02:23.68 – 02:25.32

Is it going to be the end of him?

02:25.38 – 02:26.46

Is the House going to impeach?

02:26.56 – 02:26.80

No.

02:27.08 – 02:29.30

The point is, I'm not letting it go.

02:31.72 – 02:35.36

By the way, that PEP designation that the bank examiner's talking about,

02:35.38 – 02:37.14

it's for politically exposed person.

02:39.12 – 02:41.26

They deem them to be high risk.

02:42.14 – 02:44.74

This guy is in a world of trouble, man.

02:44.74 – 02:48.34

All the Democrats have right now are conspiracy theories.

02:48.44 – 02:53.34

Listen to this idiot on MSNBC, Jasmine Crockett from Texas, a congresswoman,

02:53.70 – 02:57.82

on with the hapless Joy Reid, going again with the no evidence stuff.

02:57.92 – 02:58.54

Check this out.

3Speaker 3
02:58.92 – 03:01.90

The business partner said no, President Biden didn't have anything to do with it.

03:02.26 – 03:05.42

Everyone they've brought in so far that were supposed to be witnesses for the prosecution

03:05.42 – 03:07.28

ended up being witnesses for the defense.

03:07.62 – 03:10.06

Have you seen, as a member of this committee,

03:10.78 – 03:15.36

any evidence that President Biden has any involvement whatsoever in his son's

03:15.36 – 03:16.36

companies or in his businesses?

03:16.52 – 03:16.98

I have not.

03:17.30 – 03:18.42

And it's a phishing expedition.

4Speaker 4
03:20.04 – 03:24.94

Folks, listen, I'm begging you humbly and respectfully, ignore these Democrats.

03:25.32 – 03:25.60

Why?

03:25.90 – 03:27.32

Because it doesn't matter.

03:27.58 – 03:34.96

If a guy came out tomorrow with video evidence of Joe Biden in a threesome with two Chinese

03:34.96 – 03:40.10

Communist Party female members of a company who they cut a million dollar check to him

03:40.10 – 03:43.84

afterwards, the Democrats would, it's a body double.

03:44.06 – 03:45.30

It doesn't matter.

03:45.70 – 03:46.86

Ignore these people.

03:47.12 – 03:50.72

They are the 37% of people that still approve of Joe Biden.

03:51.04 – 03:52.40

Why do I tell you to ignore them?

03:52.64 – 03:56.56

Because 37% of people is not enough to get this guy elected.

03:58.54 – 04:00.04

You understand that?

04:00.88 – 04:03.76

63% of people think this guy's foolish.

04:05.18 – 04:06.06

It's working.

04:07.52 – 04:12.94

I don't mean, it's Friday, so I don't want to be like too like bitchy today, but

04:13.98 – 04:18.54

nothing drives me crazier than when I get emails or Facebook messages from people who are on our

04:18.54 – 04:20.82

side who are like, oh, Dan, let it go.

04:20.92 – 04:21.70

Nothing's going to happen.

04:22.04 – 04:23.58

What do you mean nothing's happening?

04:23.62 – 04:24.54

I don't understand.

04:25.04 – 04:34.22

The guy went from 50% approval on election day to 45 to 42 to 41 to 39 to 37 to losing

04:34.22 – 04:37.20

by like 10 points to just about every Republican candidate.

2Speaker 2
04:38.66 – 04:39.06

Stop.

4Speaker 4
04:41.10 – 04:42.62

We got to keep going.

04:43.76 – 04:46.10

What is happening is we got to get rid of this guy.

04:46.26 – 04:47.26

Yes, I agree with you.

04:47.32 – 04:50.02

If you want this guy in jail, forget it.

04:50.20 – 04:53.94

There is zero chance any of these guys are going to do a second of jail time.

04:54.02 – 04:54.30

Zero.

04:54.60 – 04:55.92

I am totally with you.

04:56.38 – 04:58.36

But I'll take a political loss.

04:58.44 – 04:58.84

Will you?

1Speaker 1
05:00.24 – 05:00.84

And they'll send you free silver for every $5,000 you purchase.

06:02.60 – 06:06.10

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

06:06.56 – 06:07.86

Message and data rates apply.

4Speaker 4
06:24.68 – 06:29.08

Dan Goldman invented a new conspiracy theory yesterday that Joe Biden's kid's laptop that

06:29.08 – 06:30.52

is evidence of all this crap on there.

06:31.00 – 06:33.04

That, yeah, it's just some Russian conspiracy theory.

06:33.32 – 06:38.24

And Rudy Giuliani noted tech maven Rudy Giuliani, Joe, you know, he's like Elon Musk, right?

06:38.48 – 06:41.68

That he must have tinkered with the hard drive to fabricate all this stuff.

06:41.92 – 06:42.78

He's good with that stuff.

06:42.88 – 06:43.48

Check this out.

06:43.60 – 06:44.18

You have no idea.

2Speaker 2
06:44.28 – 06:46.20

You know hard drives can be manipulated.

06:46.70 – 06:50.98

Are you suggesting the New York Post could participate in a conspiracy to construct the

06:50.98 – 06:52.36

contents of the Hunter Biden laptop?

06:52.70 – 06:53.32

No, sir.

06:53.32 – 06:57.42

The problem is that hard drives can be manipulated by Rudy Giuliani or Russia.

06:57.62 – 06:58.76

What's the evidence of that then?

06:59.14 – 07:00.68

Well, there is actual evidence of it.

07:00.74 – 07:04.10

But the point is, it's no evidence that you're engaged in a conspiracy.

4Speaker 4
07:04.88 – 07:08.70

This is why I'm telling you, just plow ahead.

07:08.88 – 07:09.50

Listen to me.

07:09.62 – 07:11.60

I promise I won't steer you wrong.

07:12.80 – 07:14.92

Please stop thinking this stuff.

07:14.98 – 07:16.48

Oh, it's not making a difference.

07:16.50 – 07:17.36

It is.

07:17.82 – 07:23.26

There's a reason 17 percent of people probably thought Joe Biden was corrupt before the

07:23.26 – 07:24.08

election, or 20.

07:24.32 – 07:27.04

And now 60-plus percent probably think that.

07:27.90 – 07:29.96

You can't give up and let these guys off the hook.

07:29.98 – 07:35.08

Look at this clown suggesting Rudy Giuliani's some kind of tech expert manipulating a hard

07:35.08 – 07:38.88

drive with absolutely not a scintilla or shred of evidence to back that up.

07:39.02 – 07:39.88

He looked like an idiot.

07:40.02 – 07:41.26

Everybody's laughing at him.

07:42.66 – 07:45.00

And another thing happened during this hearing yesterday.

07:45.14 – 07:51.08

Do you remember a few weeks back when I told you about a military-grade operation to spy

07:51.08 – 07:51.48

on you?

07:51.48 – 07:55.76

And by the way, a lot of people email me, oh, Dan, what are you, promoting a conspiracy

07:55.76 – 07:56.18

theory?

07:56.30 – 07:57.74

Military-grade operation.

07:58.26 – 08:03.86

Folks, I don't put stuff on the damn show that I don't hear from people I trust, OK?

08:04.02 – 08:05.64

My credibility is everything.

08:06.06 – 08:07.70

I've gotten burned before.

08:08.10 – 08:08.82

I've come back.

08:08.88 – 08:09.70

I've made it right.

08:09.80 – 08:11.74

I'm not making mistakes on purpose.

08:12.26 – 08:19.24

Someone had contacted me a long time ago that the actual military, the literal military,

08:19.80 – 08:25.88

has been involved in a censorship operation to get rid of and wipe conservative content

08:25.88 – 08:27.54

off the internet for a long time.

08:28.50 – 08:33.60

I want you to listen to Michael Schellenberger, the same guy, an excellent reporter, yesterday

08:33.60 – 08:38.74

on Capitol Hill in this hearing about censorship and YouTube and Twitter and Facebook censoring

08:38.74 – 08:38.98

us.

08:39.16 – 08:41.74

I want you to listen for the key words here.

08:42.30 – 08:49.64

This is a military-grade professional operation to shut you down, brothers and sisters.

08:50.42 – 08:52.60

It's not a conspiracy theory.

08:53.74 – 08:54.96

Listen to yourself.

2Speaker 2
08:55.32 – 09:00.22

Nine months ago, I testified and provided evidence to the subcommittee about the existence

09:00.22 – 09:05.86

of a censorship industrial complex, a network of government agencies, including the Department

09:05.86 – 09:11.22

of Homeland Security, government contractors, and big tech media platforms that conspired

09:11.22 – 09:16.48

to censor ordinary Americans and elected officials alike for holding disfavored views.

09:17.22 – 09:22.30

I regret to inform the subcommittee today that the scope, power, and lawbreaking of

09:22.30 – 09:27.12

the censorship industrial complex are even worse than we had realized back in March.

09:27.84 – 09:32.54

Two days ago, my colleagues and I published the first batch of internal files from the

09:32.54 – 09:39.08

Cyber Threat Intelligence League, which show U.S. and U.K. military contractors working

09:39.08 – 09:45.04

in 2019 and 2020 to both censor and turn sophisticated psychological operations and

09:45.04 – 09:49.16

disinformation tactics developed abroad against the American people.

1Speaker 1
09:49.62 – 09:51.56

Why do you think I told you that?

09:52.30 – 09:55.66

You think I'm sitting here busting your balls, wasting your time on the show?

4Speaker 4
09:56.76 – 09:58.48

I pick my words deliberately.

09:58.64 – 10:04.82

When I said to you weeks ago there was a military-grade professional operation to propagandize

10:04.82 – 10:08.24

and censor you here in the United States, I was not joking.

1Speaker 1
10:09.70 – 10:10.88

This happened.

4Speaker 4
10:11.76 – 10:14.88

The evidence is right in front of your face.

10:16.36 – 10:20.78

This is going global, from Ireland to the U.K. to here.

10:23.76 – 10:27.80

This Dan Goldman made another appearance at yesterday's hearing when he laughably,

10:28.24 – 10:33.72

this guy is so freaking stupid, Schellenberger sitting here talking about this military-grade

10:33.72 – 10:38.42

censorship operation and how the government worked with private actors to censor people

10:38.42 – 10:40.28

because they didn't want to do it themselves.

10:41.26 – 10:42.96

That is against the law.

10:43.66 – 10:46.24

Now, I know there are liberals watching, and I know you're morons.

10:46.42 – 10:49.78

So let me give you an example that'll make it easy for you to understand.

10:50.04 – 10:51.30

You ready, liberal dipshits?

10:51.52 – 10:52.14

Open your ears.

10:52.22 – 10:53.20

Cotton out of your mouth.

10:53.50 – 10:54.18

Cotton out of your ears.

10:54.28 – 10:55.80

Stick it in your mouth for a second, okay?

10:56.50 – 11:00.04

Imagine, you don't have to imagine, I'm avidly pro-life.

11:00.42 – 11:05.52

But because we do not have a national ban on abortion, we don't have that,

11:06.16 – 11:11.22

I would be bound as a politician to back up and defend the law and the Constitution

11:11.22 – 11:12.00

of the United States.

11:12.44 – 11:14.62

So how about me as a politician?

11:14.86 – 11:21.32

I try to pass a law that if you go and beat the crap out of any person that tries to get

11:21.32 – 11:23.80

an abortion, that we can't prosecute you for assault.

11:24.42 – 11:26.30

One, it'd be immoral and unethical.

11:26.36 – 11:27.72

You don't want to beat the crap out of people.

11:27.82 – 11:30.60

But liberals are probably like, no, that sounds bad.

11:30.98 – 11:34.28

No, but I'm not censoring people's viewpoint or right to get, they can get an abortion.

11:35.06 – 11:36.94

They can, it's perfectly legal.

11:37.90 – 11:41.22

Yeah, but you just said you would indemnify anyone who stops them from getting an abortion

11:41.22 – 11:42.18

by beating the crap out of them.

11:42.38 – 11:44.24

No, no, no, but I'm not stopping them.

11:45.18 – 11:49.10

Do you understand how the government's not allowed to deputize people to do things they

11:49.10 – 11:49.62

can't do?

11:50.22 – 11:51.48

It's not allowed, thankfully.

11:53.02 – 11:57.70

You're not allowed to deputize a private company and say, hey, it'd be a real shame if you

11:57.70 – 12:00.34

don't remove this content and then we regulate you out of existence.

12:00.74 – 12:01.86

Winky, winky, nod, nod.

12:01.86 – 12:05.80

Dan Goldman's a lawyer and he doesn't even understand this.

12:05.94 – 12:06.82

He does.

12:06.92 – 12:08.28

He just loves the process.

12:08.40 – 12:08.96

Listen to this.

2Speaker 2
12:09.76 – 12:13.92

There's a brought up, by the way, part of the operation, Congressman Goldman, part of

12:13.92 – 12:16.40

the operation was to change the terms of service.

12:16.82 – 12:19.50

So you see them constantly trying to change the terms of service.

12:20.04 – 12:25.82

You see them, it was 35% of all of the URLs that were, this is going to EIP, were labeled,

12:26.00 – 12:27.50

removed or soft blocked.

12:27.70 – 12:29.16

That's all forms of censorship.

12:29.36 – 12:30.56

But censorship is not just removed.

12:30.56 – 12:32.52

But 65% were not.

12:33.08 – 12:35.50

So how can the government be so, so coercive?

12:35.74 – 12:41.42

Does the first amendment say that the government can censor 35%?

12:41.72 – 12:42.48

They're not censoring.

12:42.64 – 12:44.50

They're flagging in the social media companies.

4Speaker 4
12:45.94 – 12:47.86

35% of a first amendment?

2Speaker 2
12:48.54 – 12:49.96

It's not the first amendment.

12:50.08 – 12:54.06

It's the terms of service, as you said, and they are flagging it for the social media

12:54.06 – 12:55.66

companies to make their own decisions.

12:55.88 – 12:57.72

That is not the first amendment.

12:57.86 – 12:59.16

That is the terms of service.

12:59.74 – 13:00.84

Congressman, you're an attorney.

13:01.02 – 13:03.58

You know that the four federal judges have already ruled that.

13:03.86 – 13:06.88

And I know that it's on appeal in front of the Supreme Court right now.

13:09.00 – 13:10.38

That debate was very concerning.

13:10.40 – 13:11.24

That was fine.

13:11.28 – 13:12.44

That got to the heart of the issue.

4Speaker 4
13:13.26 – 13:17.64

I mean, this man's a member of Congress and an attorney and doesn't know that the government's

13:17.64 – 13:22.78

not allowed to deputize people to wipe out ideological thought they don't agree with

13:22.78 – 13:24.26

from the Internet is stunning.

13:24.44 – 13:25.08

He doesn't know.

13:25.18 – 13:25.76

Of course he knows.

13:26.18 – 13:27.80

But he's a moron like most leftists.
