Hey, Dan Bongino here with a little extra bonus. There's a new way for you to listen to my content if you have an Alexa device. Every morning we post what's called the Bongino Brief, a quick highlight of one of the biggest stories we talk about here on the podcast designed for your Alexa's flash briefing skill.

Welcome to the Bongino Brief your device dan bongino welcome to the bongino brief i'm dan bongino as i told you folks none of this disinformation election interference would

They should play the Soviet National Anthem every time you open Twitter and Facebook. Every single time you click it, it should play audio on, mute off. You should hear the Soviet National Anthem because the Soviets would be proud. family taking money from Ukraine today, taking money from China, potentially splitting it with Joe Biden, who could be in the back pocket of the Chinese Communist Party, and you're about to elect him president. Scranton kid, Scranton kid. Well, Tucker Carlson, who has been at the forefront

of this fight against these tech tyrants for a long time, summed it up beautifully last night at the beginning of his show. Ladies and gentlemen, this is an existential fight now. Something has to happen. These companies either have to be broken up or they have to be sanctioned so heavily by the Federal Election Commission for unquestionable election interference that they can barely recover. This is absolutely unforgivable. Message has to be sent today.

Check out Tucker. A major American newspaper published a story, apparently an entirely accurate story, about a presidential candidate. The tech monopolies that control American media feared this story might hurt that candidate whom they favor. So three weeks before a national election, they shut the whole thing down. They prevented the public from reading the news. They didn't apologize for doing this. They didn't bother to make up reasonable sounding justifications for it.

They just did it exactly as the Chinese government does. These are monopolies. They have all the power. You have none. They don't have to care what you think, and they don't. This was mass censorship on a scale that America has never experienced, not in 245 years. And it's a threat to all of us. Democracies only function when there is a

free exchange of information between citizens. We no longer have that. This is a dark moment. I mean, I'm just going to be candid with you. I'm anxious. I'm anxious. I'm frightened where this is going to go. Can you imagine a major company in America Can you imagine a major company in America which services us now as a public square for information, Twitter and Facebook? It's where people exchange information generally. from an election, hiding a story, a major breaking news story from a major American newspaper, and locking out the accounts of Kayleigh McEnany, Team Trump, locking out a link provided by the House Oversight Committee to a.gov address. This all happened yesterday. If you wrote this in a story with an Orwellian tint to it, again, you throw the story out because you'd be like,

ah, that's already been done, but that's not really going to happen. Nobody's going to believe it. No, it's happening. It's happening right now. You are going to have people who vote for Joe Biden in this election who may find out if they're lucky enough

after the election that the man they voted for is in the back pocket of America's preeminent enemy and nuclear power. More in a minute, but first.

You can't read these stories on Twitter right now. Did you know that? Jack Dorsey needs to be subpoenaed and investigated immediately. Immediately. It's not just Twitter. Here's Andy Stone from Facebook on Twitter. I'll show you who this clown is in a minute. At Andy M. Stone from Fakebook. He actually tweeted this out, admitting Facebook is interfering in an election too. Quote, while I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want to be clear

that this story is eligible to be fact-checked by Facebook's third-party fact-checking partners. Listen to this. In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform. Holy Moses. Who is Andy Stone from Fakebook? Let's look at his profile. Andy Stone. Oh, he's communications at Facebook and an alumni of the House Majority Pack, Senator Boxer, and the DCCC?

The Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee. For you liberals listening, you don't know what that means. So he's a Democrat activist working as the communications director from Facebook, telling you that the Democrat nominee for president, that a major expose about him potentially being blackmailed by the chinese government because they have information on him otherwise that that story is going to be totally blacklisted by the way we will be putting this on fake book and we're daring you to sanction us for information we just told you is in the story we're daring daring you to do it. I'm daring you to do it. Because you are creating a series of enemies of people who've defended you in the past.

I hate what you're doing to this country, but I've defended everybody's ability to speak freely. The question now is, is the damage you've caused in the 2020 election so catastrophic that even your allies are going to now turn their backs on you? I think the answer is yes. In case you missed it, by the way, here's a screenshot of what happens on Twitter. This happens now for the China story too, about Hunter Biden being in the back pocket of China. This is what happens if you try to share the story on Twitter. Warning, this link may be unsafe. The link you're trying to access has been identified by Twitter as being potentially spammy or unsafe. Totally ridiculous and made up,

ladies and gentlemen. Totally ridiculous. We are in a very, very dangerous place. we are in a very, very dangerous place. This is the public square, folks. I told you that. It's like in the early 1800s, some private company buying up all the streets where there were no telephones or anything. You wanted a campaign, you went to the town square and you made your case, you got on your soapbox.

Imagine someone coming over and you say, no, no, we bought up all these streets. Yeah, we're Twitter. Twitter, before Twitter had social media. You're not allowed on these streets to make your case. Well, what about those streets? No, not those streets either. We bought those up too.

Matter of fact, go back into your room. You can yell from your window if you're lucky. That's what Twitter's done to the country. The United States has an interest first in the preservation of the Republic and free speech. Now, although these are private companies, the question now is, have they done such incalculable damage in a major election that something has to be done? I think the answer right now is clearly yes.
