Welcome to the Bongino Brief.

Al Sharpton, getting even weirder as of yesterday.

Ray Epps is now saying, now for those of you who don't know Ray Epps, forgive me, I shouldn't

assume everyone here knows.

Ray Epps was a gentleman caught on video during January 6th, during the protest and the rally

and what happened afterwards at the Capitol.

Ray Epps was caught on video saying a lot of damning things about going to the Capitol,

going inside the Capitol.

And the strange thing about Ray Epps is, as of today, as far as we know, Ray Epps has

not been arrested or prosecuted, despite the fact that the FBI and the DOJ have put

out basically blanket threats to anyone who was there that day, geofencing and all that

stuff.

And a lot of people find themselves in the D.C. gulag.

So it's really strange that Ray Epps, who is literally on video, engaged in some suspect

behavior, would be suing Fox News for defamation.

But as you can see from the hapless Jeremy Barr and Will Summer at the Washington Post,

Fox News sued for defamation by a man linked to January 6th conspiracy theories.

So if you're scratching your melon right now, going, well, this doesn't make sense.

The media has told us about the insurrection, worse than Pearl Harbor, it's like the Civil

War all over again.

And then you got this guy on video who appears to be part of an effort to storm the Capitol,

at least from the video we've seen.

You would think the media would be like, get him, prosecute him, he's part of the insurrection.

But it's strange.

The media seems to be protecting Ray Epps.

It's super weird.

Nobody can figure out what's going on.

Matter of fact, the narrative on Ray Epps is changing in the media.

Hat tip to Jack Posobiec for this, by the way, I'll get to that in a second.

But yesterday, Congressman Nels, who I really like, he was up on Capitol Hill, he's a Republican,

talking to the completely hopeless director of the FBI, tyrant Chris Wray, a joke of a

human being.

And Nels asked him some pretty common sense questions about Ray Epps.

You put a lot of people in jail for far lesser behavior than what appears to be seen on tape

here.

If this was an insurrection, like what's up with Ray Epps?

By the way, we won't be intimidated because you're not going to sue us for defamation

by playing videos of you.

I don't know how you're going to do that.

By the way, discovery on that's going to be great.

Discovery on that's going to be amazing.

Why has Epson not been arrested?

Now, wait.

One more thing.

In his defamation lawsuit, Epson appears to indicate that he may be prosecuted.

So this may change.

This may change.

Here, take a look at this.

You need to go into the Capitol.

Into the Capitol.

We are going to the Capitol, where our prophets are.

It's that direction.

Please spread the word.

No, David.

One more thing.

Yeah, so can we go up there?

No.

When we go in.

Are we going to get arrested if we go up there?

We don't need to get shot.

the Capitol grounds, the restricted area.

Mr. Ray, you have arrested hundreds of people, related to January 6th.

And there have been people arrested for breaching Capitol grounds.

Cooey Griffin is an example.

Genco is an example. And then we go to Mr. Brandon Stryka. Brandon was arrested for disorderly

and disruptive conduct, which included yelling, I quote, go, go, go. As rioters tried to empty

the Capitol. These three never went into the Capitol. They never assaulted anyone. So let's

be honest with each other. There is very little difference between the actions of Ray Epps

and Brandon Stryka that day. But yet Stryka was arrested and Epps wasn't.

out here, rational people. Welcome to the chat. Love you all being here and everything.

Tell me in the chat, like, why would Ray Epps be not subjected to the same legal process

as everyone else, including arrest and prosecution? Now, again, that may change according to Epps

himself and his lawsuit. But it seems awfully strange. And it's a fair question to ask based

on the media premise alone. If the media is saying and I'm not saying I agree with the

premises, this is the worst insurrection in modern American history. And our government

was at risk. Then why would you not be curious as the FBI director about a guy on video you

just saw suggesting people go into the Capitol, which is believed to be one of the physical

acts associated with said insurrection? Folks, I'm just asking everyone, you know, even the

liberal morons out there, just use your brain. Why is this guy not being subjected to the

same process as everyone else? Maybe there's a fair reason. I mean, he said on 60 Minutes

what he didn't go in or something. All right. I'm open to hearing anything. Here's Christopher

Ray with the answer, by the way, after some comments by Nels. And this is why absolutely

no one who's serious up on Capitol Hill eliminates most Democrats. Nobody trusts this guy. Every

answer is slimy. It's sleazy. It's cagey. He bails every single one. Listen to this.

He did very little. There was very little difference what he did. And Mr. Strecker,

you can see him. He's encouraging. I almost think he's inciting a riot. He's encouraging

people the night prior to go into the Capitol the day of go into the Capitol. And he was

because I don't know what's going on with this guy because I can't get in the FBI's

head. However, I'm going to tell you this again, having actually been a federal agent

myself, it is awfully suspicious that you claim to be combating an insurrection by prosecuting

people involved. You have a guy on video who appears to be, again, incentivizing people

to enter the Capitol. And you're not curious. Now, here's what has my antenna ding, ding,

ding, ding, ding, going up big time right now. Jack Posobiec notices hat tip to him.

Look at how the media now in these screenshots has all of a sudden once the Epps lawsuit

comes out, has all of a sudden changed the narrative. Whenever they write articles about

Epps, you'll see they call it one of the Ray Epps. This is the Washington Post attended

the pro Trump rallies. I thought I thought it was an insurrection. Notice the dates on

these pieces to July 2023. Here's the New York Times referring to it as a demonstration.

I thought it was an insurrection. Now it's a demonstration. And all of these articles

are talking about Epps. Here's Bloomberg, a former Marine who voted for Trump and joined

the protests, sued Fox. You see how all of this, this is that we have the we have the

grapefruits yet. We need you got to get them on. But the grapefruits are that I need them

delivered to me. It's that stat. Here's Rolling Stone again. Ray Epps talking about protests.

Folks, these people are hapless goons in the media. It's so pathetic. You got Adam Kinzinger

and others defending this guy. It's so strange that conservatives like me and others are like,

hey, if something happened that day in violation of the law and Epps was associated with it,

then Epps should be subjected to the same system of justice as everyone else.

And it's the media. Everything's on its head. The media is like, no, no, no, it's no longer

OK. What? Now, this all makes sense if you subscribe to the anti anti communist theory

by David Horowitz. OK, they are for what we're against the liberals because we're an obstacle

to their communist seeking of power and they're against whatever we're for. So if we have questions

about Ray Epps, was there some kind of relationship with some entity we don't know about what Epps

stands for? No matter what Epps did or didn't do, the media stances Epps is a good guy.

If we were, however, to switch the story tomorrow and start celebrating Ray Epps,

do you guys disagree? The media narrative would be what? Ray Epps led an insurrection. One hundred

percent. They'd run. Thank you. Justin said it right. They would run the exact same video with

no shame at all. We just play and be like, this guy led an insurrection. It is crazy.

This guy's not in jail. Remember the anti anti communist theory where the anti communist,

the liberals are the anti anti communist. They are for what we're against, against what we're

for. Does it? There's no principles involved in this at all because we are an obstacle to their

power. Un-freaking-believable. The Dan Bongino Show. If you'd like to hear more, subscribe to
