Text Dan to the number 989898, message and data rate supply. Dan Bongino. Welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino. Do not fall for the Psyop, folks. You have a massive failure of the left-wing model of big government right now going on right in front of your very eyes and the left is desperate to get you to shut up about it. Now I want to be absolutely clear. If these catastrophic apocalyptic fires happened in Texas, Florida or Mississippi, there would be ringing condemnation from every piece of scum in the media, calling for public executions of governors,

state, local mayors, officials, county commissioners, and anyone else involved. But because Democrat liberal commies run California, Guy, can we go a little bit out of order? Can you pull that Politico tweet up? What do you get? You get no condemnation of Democrats at all, and you get a bunch of Republicans pounce stories.

Republicans unleash on never about the actual failures. Look at this. Politico. Republicans are blaming them policies for the catastrophic wildfires tearing through Los Angeles. Republicans pounce. Republicans unleash. Republicans unload. Notice how whenever Democrats f something up which is every single time because government sucks. It has no incentive to ever do anything right. It steals your money at the end of a barrel of a gun. There is nothing you can do about it.

And whether government sucks or not, you never get a refund. It doesn't matter. Government never goes out of business. There's no pressure for it to go out of business. The media protects them from any bad press. Imagine being a restaurant that food poisons people every night and some review site like a Yelp or whatever, deletes every negative review. That's the media. It's the best analogy I can ever give you. That's the media to the business of government. It is no incentive to not suck. People are dead. The damage in Los Angeles

and some of the surrounding areas is going to be so catastrophic when this is over, despite repeated warnings that the fact that to this day, some, a lot, but not all, some media people are even coming around, you'll see what I mean in a minute, are still protecting these idiots. Meanwhile, if this was Ron DeSantis, I'm telling you they'd be called for public executions right now. It's absolutely disgusting. And then you got this loser in the White House, who again did nothing about this. California is a state in the United States. Joe Biden's president of

the United States. Joe Biden could have asked questions about this like Donald Trump did fire management. It is still a big state. California is kind of important to the Union. Would Joe Biden do nothing? But he flew out there yesterday and here is Joe Biden doing what Joe Biden does. How many times have I told you this folks in the chat? How many times have I reminded you Joe Biden is what? Folks I'm telling you I know this from damn good sources. Trust me on this.

I've always been candid about my sources. Joe Biden is a sociopath. I'm telling you he's a sociopath. He sees no consequence to his actions whatsoever. Everything is about Joe Biden, enriching Joe Biden, and to everyone else you get the double-barreled middle finger. Here he is out there in California in one of the biggest catastrophes

you're going to see in modern times in Los Angeles. And what does he decide to do? Announce ceremoniously and in a celebratory manner that he's a great grandfather. Joe can I just be sure nobody gives a shit bro nobody cares their house just burned down. What do you want to do a freaking gender reveal? Look we popped a balloon it's blue. What nobody cares cares, bro. Watch this. Good news is I'm a great grandfather.

That's a great point you just made. He always does this. I don't want to make it personal, given that all your houses just burned down, every childhood memory, all of your memorabilia, photos, your baseball card collection, the mom's jewelry you passed down, your engagement ring, your will and testament, your legal documents, your business records, all of your... It's time for an announcement. Let's do a gender reveal boom. It's a boy Nobody gives a shit, bro Nobody cares No, I mean nobody

Technically that could be considered a hyperbolic statement. You're exaggerating. No. No. No, I don't even attend to such Nobody cares in that area about you being a great grandfather. You're gonna jump in the shower again? You slob? That's who this guy is. He's a sociopath. He can't get out of office soon enough. Less than two weeks to go. More in a minute, but first.

Finally, at least one member of the media, this is a Sky News reporter, has decided to do some journalism and stop with the climate change, really? That's funny, we thought it was the lack of water management

and a bunch of dry brush in a fire prone area. I don't know, call me crazy. I'll be crazy. Here's the mayor of Los Angeles, which fellas you hear she made it back to LA. Yes. Finally, Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass, another commie. She made it back, she was in Africa.

What was she doing in Africa in Ghana? Who the hell knows? Who cares? She's taking a trip, you know, need a little vacation. I mean, she's been mayor for so long. Dan, she was just a little... Exactly. She's in Ghana?

Yeah, Ghana. But LA is burning. Exactly. So she finally makes it back to a burning down city. She's like Nero. Surprised she didn't come off Finley, off the plane. Here is a Sky News reporter finally doing a little bit of homework. And at guys, wouldn't you agree you've seen the clip producer, Jimmy too.

At least she gives some very detailed answers as to where she was, why she stole money from the fire department, why there's been no fire management stuff that answers, wouldn't you agree guys were very thorough and she put to rest any any allegations of mismanagement on her part. Check out these incredibly fine answers. Check this out. Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent while their homes were burning? Do you regret cutting the fire department budget by millions of dollars, Madam Mayor? Have you nothing to say today?

Have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today? Elon Musk says that you're utterly incompetent. Are you considering your position? Madam Mayor, have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today who are dealing with this disaster. No apology for them. Do you think you should have been visiting Ghana while this was unfolding back home? Now I know what you're thinking if you are watching live on Rumble at 11am Eastern you saw the video but if you're watching audio on demand later on, say Apple or Spotify, you're thinking, why did Gee, Justin or Michael mess with the clip and edit out the mayor's

responses? You said they were wonderful. They didn't, folks. There are no responses. That is the audio. She sits there and I encourage you to watch the video because it's even worse. And as Justin, we're watching this all day. We watch them together shows live.

So you know, it's edited. We don't like cut the things in later. Just as like at least move your mouth and pretend you're going to answer some and like you're thinking about some. She's sitting there like in stunned disbelief that anyone's asking her a question about her city bird that How dare you? I am the mayor of Los Angeles. It's not my problem that the damn city's burning to the ground.

And then you see how she storms down the jetway there. That poor lady with the thing on her nose, she like nearly knocks that lady over. Get out of my way. We got to get away from this Sky News guy. Listen, I don't know you Sky News guy. I don't know if you're a liberal or whatever I don't really care but you may be the first guy to ever ask her look at his look Keep it watch this lady. She's got a little bandage on her nose this way. They can't bump this. I like okay Let's get away from this guy quick. Here we go. Here's lady. Oh get out of the way lady beat it

Yeah, push it practically if there was a door there. They push it right through it They're like get away from this guy quick you never seen karen bass move so fast look at her she's getting a good hamstring workout look get move fast is that an incline maybe get some calf work in too of course ladies and gentlemen donald trump was right again about this but because the media can't get their heads out of their ass and cover Donald Trump fairly, and they're so focused on the emotions of hating Donald Trump, not the actual problems Donald Trump brings up like, Hey, we've got an

inflation problem, right? Nazi. Hey, that thing in California, you'd never believe it. They're diverting a bunch of water from where it's needed. Water's running dry in certain areas of California. The farms have been complaining about it forever You've got a dry fire problem in Los Angeles Santa Ana winds. Those are brand new by the way Do you guys know about that? It's the first time it's ever happened the Santa Ana winds It's a joke

If I've never heard of those before I'm not even a meteorologist I've heard of the Santa Ana winds. I don't even live on the West Coast. I live in Florida. I live in Stewart. We don't have the Stewart Ana winds. I don't know what, even I know what they are. It's wind. And you think wind is good for stopping fires? You think? And you think wind is good for stopping fires you think Matter of fact there's an expression, you know what it's called guys. They call it fanning the flames you ever hear of it fanning Of course because they can't get their heads out of their ass when Donald Trump brings up a problem He's a Nazi fascist homophobe transopho instead of actually saying, Hey, is that a real problem? Maybe we can fix it before people's lives are lit up in flames. Here is Donald Trump a while ago on the Joe Rogan show before the election saying, you

know, California has got a real water problem. You know, fires, farms, all this stuff. Maybe we should look at the media was a guy's definitely a Nazi. Check this out. You know, in Los Angeles, you can't get proper amounts of water. Right. And it's unbelievably expensive and you might have a house in Beverly Hills and they're actually thinking about rationing water, can you believe it? I can believe it. I was in the farm court country with some of the

congressmen were driving up a highway and I say how come all this land is so barren? It's farmland and it looked terrible. It was just brown and bad. I said, but there's always that little corner that's so green and beautiful. They said, we have no water. I said, do you have a drought? No, we don't have a drought.

I said, why don't you have no water? Because the water isn't allowed to flow down. It's got a natural flow from Canada all the way up north, more water than they could ever use. And in order to protect a tiny little fish, the water up north gets routed into the Pacific Ocean. Millions and millions of gallons of water gets poured. Of course, Donald Trump came out yesterday again, he was up on Capitol Hill, and brought up the fact that protecting the smelt, if you're asking what the, it's the smelt,

it's this little fish he's talking about, and Justin just said it right. The media reports the following, Donald Trump hates fish, he really can't stand, he wants all the fish dead. Gruper, trout, all of them. Kill them damn fish. He's a Nazi homicidal fish holocaust guy. He wants fish dead. Instead of saying, you know what? That crazy guy, it's actually not so crazy because what he just said was going to

happen with the barren land and the water problems Resulted in a catastrophe where now five people are dead and that's gonna grow by the way and basically Significant portions of Los Angeles were entirely wiped out By the way, did you notice how the MAGA crowd now I want to applaud you guys I mean this You know again, I have to endorse the sarcasm as part of the show, but not this segment. I want to genuinely applaud you for not falling into the trap these lunatic, evil liberals do. That when there's some shooting in a red state, they're like, look, you deserve that evil gun owners. Nobody deserves this. I don't care who the hell

you voted for. I've been through a house fire. It is not about me. I'm not trying to do the Joe Biden on you. I'm just telling you, it is one of the most awful things you will ever go through in your life. Nobody deserves that. We live in a republic. You're free to vote for you or who you want. Unfortunately, those votes have consequences.

Bureaucratic mismanagement is not a Democrat problem is a Democrat and Republican problem however Bureaucratic mismanagement is a bigger problem with Democrats for a very simple easy to define common sense Occam's razor reason if government bureaucracies can't work because there's no incentive for them to work because they steal your money and you can't fire them, you can't, the media protects them.

Then Democrats, which prefer bigger bureaucracies and bigger government, are gonna have bigger problems. When I was a young Secret Service agent, you know what my boss told me about big criminal cases we used to work? He'd say, I'm gonna warn you, big cases, big problems, little cases, little problems, big government, big problems, little of government, little of problems. I'm not telling you Republicans are going to fix all your problems. We screw up a lot of crap ourselves. I'm simply telling you,

you keep picking the Democrats that prefer bigger government and your problems are going to continue to get bigger and they don't get any bigger than your house burning down and your neighborhood. Look at this, by the way, this little compilation running out of water, fire hydrants in Los Angeles, these headlines, I saw this on Mike Cernovich's account as a California resident has been covering this. How the hell do you run out of water? Do you understand a fire hydrant exists for one reason? It has no other purpose than to distribute water for a fire.

That's why it's called a fire hydrant, not a milk hydrant. It's there to stop fires. It only has one purpose. They can't even figure out how to get water from a fire hydrant and you continue to support these idiots? This isn't the time to... Bullshit! It is the time to talk about it before your house and neighborhood burns down next. It's a fire hydrant. You can't even figure out how to get water out of a fire hydrant. That's how stupid government is. You know what?

You know what? Governments become a suggestion of goodwill. Governments are four way stop sign. No one actually stops at it because you think the other guy, that's government, they think someone else will fix it. So it's just a suggestion they're gonna do things, right? No one stops at a four-way stop. They don't, they roll to it, the other guy will stop. That's what government is. One big freaking four-way stop sign. We don't worry, someone else will stop. I don't need to do it. My job's safe. Right,rants are like gun free zones, no signs, no fires. That's how well they work, right.

Justin said right. The fire hydrants in LA are like gun free zone signs. Again, they're suggestions of a solution. See, we'll fix your door to fire, except there's no actual water in it. Just like the gun free zone sign. So that was a clip from the Dan Bongino show. You can watch the full show on Rumble.
