Welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino. Someone said the other day, I love Bongino's show, but it's depressing. I'm not depressed at all. I get depressed, but this country is going to fix itself. But we're just not there yet. When we're in really bad shape

and things get super ugly, I'm telling you, you're going to have talk and conversation about New Jersey and New York Being in play in a presidential election You're like Republican winning New Jersey and New York It happened

It happened Reagan won both of them Happened in my lifetime Wasn't even that long ago We're not there yet That's how bad things were Homicides, the economy. And this is what I think is going to be the breaking point. The continued assault on your

kids, the diminishment and the attack on parents, the Justice Department, the police state I showed you in the beginning, targeting a mag of supporters. They targeted January 6th people, people who attended the Latin mass, school board parents, Spygate with Donald Trump, people who protested Ukraine. Everybody's going to be on a watch list and people like this are going to be watching your kids soon. Check this out. Let's talk about parental rights for a second, because it's become evident that it's being used currently in this fight against queer people and especially queer kids who need more protections than

ever before. Like in Saskatchewan and in the U.S., parental rights are being used to thwart any rights of autonomy that the kid might have. And I'm sorry, but kids do have autonomy. We've already established this. For example, if a kid needs a blood transfusion and the parents don't want to, it's not the parent's right to refuse that blood transfusion for that kid because it is life-saving in the

same respect if a kid only needs to like use a different name and pronoun in school there might be a reason and a good reason they're not coming out at home and they need a safe place to be themselves and so to hell with this idea of parental rights when it comes to kids who have their own consent and their own consent and then their own bodily autonomy and their own autonomy to their personhood that need to be protected. Keep it up, Libs. Keep it up. There's only so many kids you're going to do this to. Changing their name, their pronouns behind their parents back by telling their parents, oh, it's like a blood transfusion. No, a blood transfusion might save a kid's life. Cutting off their nuts won't. Folks, is it bad enough yet? Someone sent me this last night. They sent me this Fox article about Joe Biden building the wall. Oh, look, it's so bad. Dan, you were wrong about the immigration. I am not wrong. You're falling for this.

it ain't going to build this damn wall they'll build some nonsense they'll show some construction the wall will be like some nonsense piece they put up they'll take a few pictures this thing will come right down if he gets re-elected there is not a chance this is going to get built or get built in any way that would stop immigration Biden's doing this because his poll numbers are going down. This is the real Joe Biden, this Yahoo piece. Joe Biden says it would not be another foot of border wall built under his administration. I love a bunch of people thinking this is a win today. He ain't going to build that damn wall.

This is all for show. They'll send a construction team out there, folks. They'll build like 20 feet of it with a big hole in it and a gate they can open for everyone. And they'll go, look what we're doing here. It's going to, Guy Guy said it right. It's going to be $7 trillion. Here's the scam. I'm glad you said that.

You ready for the scam, folks? Get your pens out and write this down. Joe, you got to flag it, please. 1146. Flag it. Thank you. This is October 5th or 6th or 8th, whatever the hell day it is. Watch what's going to happen. They're going to now put this in an appropriation. The wall's not going to be a wall at all. It's going to be some technology thing and a wall with

big gates in it so they can open them up. Republicans are going to say, wait, wait, wait, wait. This doesn't sound like a wall that's going to stop immigration. It sounds like some kind of political thing. And then the White House and Karine Jean-Pierre are going to go, you see, you see, Republicans don't want to fund border security. Am I right? Folks in the chat, I see the flags everywhere. Flag it right now. Flag it right now. You'll thank me in a week for this. You see Republicans, and you don't think it's weird that this happened when we're 40-something days from another government shutdown for a funding fight? Oh, oh, thanks, Dan. He's right again.

Joe, just unflag it right now. Unflag it right now. This is a predictive unflagging because we don't even, because I'm telling you it's going to happen because I'm always right. Sometimes. You know, you watch. This is what's going to happen. He, keep your

eye out for the, and Jim, you too, for the Kareem Jean-Pierre clip. Keep your eye out for the Kareem Jean-Pierre clip where she says Republicans don't want to fund border security because they won't fund this fake wall. More in a minute, but first. Last month, the G20 announced a plan to impose digital currencies and digital IDs on their population.

Central bank digital currencies essentially could allow the government to track every purchase someone makes. Some believe it could even prohibit someone from purchasing certain products or freeze or seize part of all their money, but we're worried about this forever. Concerned Americans are diversifying their assets into physical gold with the help of Birch Gold Group. If you want physical gold held in a tax-sheltered retirement account, call Birch Gold. I buy gold through Birch Gold. Why? Because I trust them. I've used them twice. Get a free information kit on gold IRAs by texting the word DAN to 989898. Listen, if you

and I mean it. Some of you are taking this personal. I got to do the right thing, man. Do not fall in love with personalities on Capitol Hill. Folks, I'm now four days on this because it's still happening. There are people out there who are either pro-McCarthy,

pro-Gates, pro-Biggs, or pro-Emer, and they're emailing me left and right that, this guy's, I don't care what they said. These guys all suck. Thank God people are starting to tweet out what I said yesterday. It's starting to resonate. We use them. They are tools. This is a gavel. Treat them like a hammer. If this were a hammer, this is what a politician is for you. You and your arm moves the hammer and makes it do, the hammer does not hammer nails by itself. the hammer and makes it do, the hammer does not hammer nails by itself. You use the hammer. The hammer doesn't use you. Hammers out there are using you. They're getting you to fall in love

with them to make irrational decisions. If they're doing something that turns out well, and we get Jordan or Scalise, who would be better than McCarthy. I like Jordan a lot. or Scalise, who would be better than McCarthy, I like Jordan a lot, then great. They were a good hammer and you nailed the nail in. If they do something that results in a piss poor outcome, no good. I don't care who they are. These guys all suck. All of them. Here's a perfect example. I've been through this, folks, a thousand times. I'm begging you to please trust me. Where someone comes to me and goes, oh my gosh, this guy, Tony Bologna on Capitol Hill, man. Oh, gave the greatest speech. Holy shit, this guy's so awesome. And I go, did you see his Liberty score? He scored a 42. Oh man, Wow. Could have fooled me. You know how many times I

heard this about Trey Gowdy? Oh my gosh, this guy's a killer up on Capitol Hill. He was Gowdy yesterday going after Gates. And by the way, I'm not celebrating Gates or I'm just telling you how people used to love Gowdy. He was the Gates of his time. And now they love Gates. And now both of them are at each other's necks. So who's right? The answer is it doesn't matter. It's the policy outcome that matters. The football, not who's throwing it. Here, this is what I mean. Watch this. He's had a personal vendetta against Kevin. Look, I was there. I was there when he got there. He's had a personal vendetta. I'm not a psychiatrist. I can't tell you why he can't stand to see other people succeed. But if you mean Matt Gaetz defended Katie Hill, remember, who gave us the term throttling? He defended her. He defended Congresswoman Jayapal. He's got a crush on AOC, but yet he delights in attacking Republicans. I can't tell you the psychiatric diagnosis.

I can just tell you it's dangerous for the Republican Party. Who's right? I mean, I was told, Joe, weren't you 10 years ago that Gowdy was the future and said, this guy's it, man. People were, they were going to run due to fire. He's telling you Gates is a shithead and he loves AOC. Who's right? Joe, what's my answer?

I don't care if Gates loves AOC or not. All I care about is we get a more conservative speaker. You need to do the same thing. They all suck. They all suck. Here was Gowdy, by the way, who's attacking Gates, by the way. This was him, what, five, six years ago during the Spygate trauma when Joe and I were knee deep in this, telling you how the FBI was doing just a peachy job. Remember this?

I am even more convinced that the FBI did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do when they got the information they got and that it has nothing to do with Donald Trump. I thought he was a superhero. You see what happens when you get lost in personalities? You and I are above that. They need us. We don't need them. They are tools. Nothing more. Here was Tucker when he confronted Gowdy on Fox. He confronted Gowdy about Gowdy saying the FBI had done a good job and Gowdy kind of questioning that the whole thing against Trump was a witch hunt. Oh no, not a witch hunt. I want you to watch this and tell me who the superheroes are. Take a look. You said Point Blank is not a witch hunt, and people say it is. It's not. But of course, it was a witch hunt by definition. When did that

dawn on you? Well, Tucker, if you think about the four points, number one, what did Russia do? I am convinced that Russia tried to interfere with the fundamentals of our democracy. So point number one, that we were asked to look at what did Russia do? Number two, with whom, if anyone? I was down there for almost every witness interview, and I'm the one that asked the question. And the answer was no one with the Trump campaign did anything with Russia. Then we got to the unmaskings and the leaks. So I don't think asking what did Russia do to our country in 2016 or tried to do, I don't think that was a witch hunt. But we don't have evidence that they did hack the DNC servers or John Podesta's email. So how exactly did Russia skew the election or

interfere any more than a dozen other countries try to interfere every day? I'm totally confused. No, I think those are two separate inquiries. I don't think they impacted the results of the election at all. Donald Trump won fair and square. What did they try to do? We spent a year. We wrote a report. The Senate wrote a report. I don't think there's there's not much quarrel on the intelligence of did Russia try to interfere?

So there is with me. I'm sorry. There is with me. I mean, lots of country. I mean, I've lived there my whole life. Lots of countries interfere all the time. I want to know, is there any evidence that they hacked the DNC server? That's I mean, that's the central allegation. And we're hearing from the CrowdStrike. I know there is no evidence. So I don't know what this is about. Well, we couldn't answer that because remember,

the FBI did not gain access to that server. They didn't even try to gain access to that server. The DNC gave it the crowd strike, and we will never know the answer to that question. Folks, this is why I can't let this go. This week is too important. We got a speaker's fight coming up next week. Do not get lost in the personalities. These guys will always sell you out. Always,

always. Here's proof that these guys cannot get past the personality fights. We have no speaker now. I don't give a shit how we got here at this point. No, whatever complaints you have, oh, this guy pissed and this guy's Cheerios, whatever. We have no speaker. We got to pick one. We pay you to work for us. This is a consent of the governed house of representatives. You represent us. Oh, I don't like Gates. I don't like McCarthy. We don't care. I can't imagine this in the secret service doing this. Hey, I don't like this guy, Al I'm working with. So I'm going to do a really crappy job and let the president get killed. You'd be in jail. Here's this guy, Mike Lawler, a congressman with Katie Turin, NBC,

saying he's not supporting Scalise or Jordan because he wants accountability for the eight lawmakers who vote against McCarthy. Oh, so just to be clear, Newt Gingrich and Lawler, they want Gates, what, kicked out? Because why? you don't like that he peed in your Cheerios? I didn't like the way the whole thing went down either, but we're here, and now we need a more conservative speaker. Who gives a shit what I think? Let's get a more conservative speaker.
