So they upped the debt ceiling. They made it pretty much unlimited. There's no $4 trillion debt ceiling. They waived the debt ceiling. The debt ceiling means one thing to me. The U.S. is broke, can't pay its bills. So they have to borrow more money. So what are you going to do to protect your savings?

They print more money to pay off what they borrowed. I choose to buy gold from Birch Gold, and you can too. B-I-R-C-H. Text DAN to 989898 for your free information kit on gold.

Dan Bongino. Welcome to the Bong and data rates apply. Dan Bongino. Welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino. CNN teased the biggest scoop of a lifetime. We got the Trump tape, the Trump tape of him allegedly talking about classified information, blowing up national security, showing bombing plans for Iran. The country's going to, we're all going to die. We heard it yesterday.

The hype was incredible. It turned out what I believe to be another Rachel Maddow tax paperwork moment. Remember that? We got Trump's taxes and you found out that he gives a lot of money to charity and obeys tax laws. Remember that one? Folks, but it really is getting hard to believe they keep doing it. How the hell did CNN and left-wing media outlets get a hold of a tape in the hands of the United States government as evidence?

The answer is, it's pretty clear at this point that the swamp is doing it again. They are interfering in another election again with the same tried and not so true. You're laughing because you know what they do. Here's the plan. Here's the battle plan with Trump. Make up a fake charge. It doesn't matter what it is. A quid pro quo deal.

Russian collusion. Trump is trafficking in classified documents in violation of the Espionage Act. Make up a fake charge. Haul Trump into court or through a process. Make sure Trump's lawyers are prosecuted. Make sure the lawyers that aren't prosecuted are censored so they can't speak about the case. And then have the government selectively leak things to the media so the fight is fought in the media to do maximum political damage to Trump so we can't fight back. Ding, ding, ding. That's the plan every time they're at it again. Notice, none of the classified documents,

the rotting bag of oatmeal in the White House Joe Biden has, none of those have leaked. We don't know what those were about, even though it was spoken about a couple of weeks ago that these were national security documents that could have been really serious. We haven't seen those documents yet, but the tape leaked out for Trump. Now, I'm going to play this thing for you so you can hear it yourself. I'll be honest with you, it doesn't sound great, and nor should we pretend it does, but there are a number of open questions about this. What is Trump talking about on this tape? Because it's not video, it's audio. It's about a minute, 49 seconds. You're going to hear him having a conversation with Mark Meadows,

his former chief of staff, biographer, and there's some staffers at the table. And it's alleged in this that he's, you'll hear himself, that he's talking about some classified document about a battle plan for Iran. Now, that's going to be important. Remember that. Because I'm going to send something your way after this that may make you believe this tape isn't everything they're cracking it up to be. How the hell did CNN get this tape? Probably the same way they knew to show up at Roger Stone's house for a raid.

Because the swamp and the media are working hand in hand to get rid of trump that is the coup plot here take a listen bad sick people that was your coup you know against you well it started right at like when millie's talking about oh you were gonna try to do a kick they were trying to do that before you even were sworn in. That's right. Trying to overthrow your election. Well, with Milley, let me see that. I'll show you an example. He said that I wanted to attack Iran. Isn't it amazing? I have a big pile of papers.

This thing just came up. Look. This was him. They presented me this. This is off the record, but they presented me this. This was him. This was the Defense Department and him. They presented me this. This is off the record, but they presented me this. This was him. This was the Defense Department and him. Wow.

We looked at some. This was him. This wasn't done by me. This was him. All sorts of stuff. It's pages long. Wait a minute. Let's see here.

Wait a minute. Yeah. I just found, isn't that amazing amazing this totally wins my case you know except it is like highly confidential this is secret information look at this you attack and hillary would print that out all the time you know she'd send it to Anthony Weiner the pervert by the way isn't that incredible I was just saying because we were talking about it and you know he said

he wanted to attack Iran and what this was done by the military given to me I think we can probably we'll have to see we'll have to try to are given to me. I think we can probably, right? We'll have to see. Yeah, we'll have to try to figure out.

See, as president, I could have de-classified. No, I can't, but this is the lesson. Now we have a problem. Isn't that interesting? Yeah. It's so cool. Look, we heard Ivan, and you probably almost didn't believe me, but now you believe me. No, I believe you. It's incredible, right? No. Hey, bring some Cokes in, please. What is he showing them again?

As we showed you last week, part of the legal precedent in cases like this is if he's showing them some national security document in violation of the probably unconstitutional Espionage Act, which is a garbage that's been used to prosecute political opponents forever. The question is, did they see it? And I don't mean to be cute with the language.

I mean, literally, did they see it? Because I can show how many times I got to do this demo here. Fellas, what does it say on this coin? I don't know. Joe has no idea why I just showed it to you, Joe, because he didn't see it. It's a New York field office coin from the Secret Service. He didn't see it. Whatever Trump is showing them, did they see it is a key here. Notice nobody wants to talk about that. Another thing, what was he showing? If you've got this document indicating that this is the battle plan for freaking Iran,

then why isn't the special counsel or someone leaking that too? Why aren't they leaking that too? What was he showing them? I got the idea. He was joking around a little bit. It sounds like it to me. I mean, he knows he's being recorded folks what was he showing them notice how they leave that out while we still haven't seen any of the classified biden documents he squirreled away correct is there video where was this conversation

in bedminster was it in a private room where there's probably no video or was it outside? I think I've been to Bedminster. I'm not sure. There's probably video cameras outside. Is there video? It would be pretty clear if they saw it at that point. Where is there video of this? Another question, was the document even classified? Dan, he said it wasn't classified. Ladies and gentlemen, he says a lot of things. He says a lot of things. Was it bluster? Was it puffery? Was it classified? Was it not? That's kind of important. And the critical distinction, was it classified when Trump showed it and we still don't know if they saw it these

are all kind of important questions folks I've told you before because a document is classified at origination doesn't mean it's classified now the motorcade routes when I was doing my last line of work security for the president were classified until after the motorcade happened then they're not classified are they still classified you notice how all these details are left out for the cnn bombshell ladies and gentlemen this is what's called media lawfare media lawfare this is where the media and the law intersect to create a media case resembling a legal case, but that's no legal case at all because none of the legal questions I'm asking you have been answered yet. And the most important question, where's the freaking document?

If you had the document, why haven't we seen it? Ladies and gentlemen, this is so obvious what they're doing. Why did this leak come out last night? Anyone? Well, Biden's Russia policy and Ukraine policy are collapsing. A whistleblower is blowing the whistle about Hunter Biden as we find out the U.S. attorney and the Attorney General Merrick Garland. One of them is lying about the sweetheart deal to Hunter Biden. And looky here, magically, as if delivered on a silver platter, a bunt on a silver platter, here comes a tape of Trump. Oh my gosh, look at this

document. Now, I got a simple question for you. Let's give a little background because you're not going to hear this. I can almost guarantee you anywhere else outside of the conservative media ecosystem. What is Trump talking about here? Ladies and gentlemen, whether you love or hate Trump's foreign policy, I tend to like it. I don't think we should be intervening in every country around the world because it just doesn't end well for us a lot. I'm just a pragmatist. You don't have to agree. That's okay. We're entitled to different opinions and I respect yours. I just ask you respect mine too, even if you disagree. I much prefer Donald Trump's cautious approach to overseas interventions.

Donald Trump did not want to start a war with Iran because he understood that China would probably get involved, that Russia would probably get involved, and it could turn into World War III rather quickly. Mark Milley, our disgraced former military leader who was on Trump's inner circle of military advisors and is still the one who said he would warn China, basically give China a heads up. Remember him? Oh, yeah. Milley, of course, wanted to start

a war with Iran. So because Milley was more interested in a war with Iran, when public opinion started to turn, it appears Milley tried to blame Donald Trump for wanting to start a war with Iran. Rewind the podcast and listen again. Trump says, this makes my case right here. Is he talking about a war document from his military advisors? Maybe. If he is, shouldn't have shown that. Or is he showing him something like this? Here's a New Yorker article.

Susan B. Glasser. You're going to have an effing war. Mark Milley's fight to stop Trump from striking Iran. What? Wait, what? Ladies and gentlemen, this is some epic tier one level gaslighting. Are you following the story, guys? You get what I'm talking about here?

Yeah. Milley wants the war with Iran, according to Trump. Trump tries to stop them. Trump tries to get everybody calmed down a little bit so we don't wind up in World War III, while still cutting peace deals overseas, which seem like a nice balance, especially in the Middle East. These guys who sell war for a living want to war with Iran. Public opinion starts to change. They want to make Donald Trump look like a lunatic after the election. So articles start coming out in the

New Yorker, coincidentally to the left of Lenin, the New Yorker wrote a crap piece on me too, should have never spoken to them. And in the New Yorker, it comes out that Trump's a violent, raging maniac who wanted a war with Iran. And Milley had to stop him. This is what Trump's talking about. Is he waving a news article? Is anyone going to ask? I mean, are we the only people out there engaged in basic common sense rationale? Folks, if you just do a little bit of homework on this, not you.

You guys have real jobs for them. Think about media people. a little bit of homework on this not you you guys have real jobs for them think about media people a little bit of homework you'll see something's not right about this story trump is clearly annoyed that they're making him out to be a warmonger so he has some document or paper clippings or newspaper clipping showing otherwise. The thing is, nobody knows what the document is because nobody can show anybody saw it and nobody can, nobody's produced the document yet. Do they have it? Or are you just going to guess?
