When doctors, clinicians, and government officials collaborate with our country's innovative pharmaceutical companies, the side effects include improved policies that speed up the delivery of medications to those in need, and better overall health for all Canadians. Dan Bongino. Welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino. This is a critical question. What is an insurrectionist and why does it matter? I had warned you a while ago that the Democrats were going to use these very specific tools to try.

They are terrified of a Trump run again coming up in 2024. They are also terrified of MAGA candidates and conservative candidates are not always, you know, the same thing. Sometimes they pick, you know, there's different people running in different races. Right. But they want to keep these people off the ballot because they're afraid Trump is going to win again. And one of the tools they're going to use is the 14th Amendment. Here we go.

I again, you're not wasting your time here. January 25th, 2022, New York Times. Congressman Madison Cawthorn Challenge is Cawthorn Challenge raises the question. time here january 25th 2022 new york times uh congressman madison cawthorne challenge uh cawthorne challenge raises the question who is an insurrectionist there is a democrat-led effort to try to keep republican congressman madison cawthorne off the ballot the claim they're making which i'll get to in a minute with a minute with quotes and screenshots from the article here, is that he's an insurrectionist. An insurrectionist, according to the 14th Amendment, shouldn't be allowed to run for office. Now, this is a test run.

This isn't that. Listen, the verdict is in. I'm telling you, Dan Bongino is right. Mark the date. And I just shamefully talked about myself in the third person. But it's OK. In this case, maybe they are doing a test run on cawthorne cawthorne because they think it's an easier target if this works for them and they can keep him from running

calling him an insurrectionist they will then apply it to trump in 2024 mark the date here from the new york times you got it joe's got a joe's got a log he keeps all this stuff seriously he's gonna a group of lawyers is working to disqualify from the ballot. A right wing House Republican who cheered on the January 6th rioters unless he can prove he is not an insurrectionist. That seems kind of weird. I thought it was innocent to prove guilty, not guilty to prove it innocent. Not with Democrats. He would be disqualified by the constitution for this, from holding office in a case with implications for other office holders and potentially former president Donald J.

Trump. Oh, give away the game, give away the game in the first paragraph right there. The first paragraph is right there. Listen, folks, they don't give a damn about Madison Cawthorn. Let me be honest with you. They don't care. You shake some trees. you have pretty good sources. We do.

This is solely being used as a trial run to keep Donald Trump off the ballot. How? How? Well, it depends on what your definition of the word insurrectionist is, because if you go down in the piece, you'll find that these group of liberal lawyers are trying to keep Republicans off the ballot using the 14th Amendment. Quote, New York Times. This case revolves around the little known third section of the 14th Amendment adopted during Reconstruction to punish members of the Confederacy who were streaming back to Washington

to reclaim their elective offices and infuriating unionist Republicans. The section of the 14th amendment declares that quote, no person shall hold any office civil or military under the United States or under any state who having previously taken an oath to support the constitution had then engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same or given aid or comfort to the enemy, to the enemies, excuse me, thereof. You see what they're doing here? They're taking a 14th amendment provision after the civil war designed for the express purposes we just told you about.

And they're expanding the definition of an insurrectionist to anybody who was questioning the electoral outcome in the in the 2020 election. Now, that's odd, because if that definition of insurrection is questioning an electoral outcome, right, which is clearly what they're implying by doing this. Right. And that's why they're going to expand this definition to include Trump as well. Why doesn't that include all of the people who questioned the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton? Yeah, well, because they're all Democrats, of course. This is not a principled play. It's a partisan play. It's an act to keep Trump off the ballot because they're afraid he's going to win. But these are the questions you have to respond in return with. So does that include the people

who questioned the Bush v. Gore election? does that include the people who questioned the Bush v. Gore election? Does that include the people who supported Antifa and BLM as they nearly burned down a courthouse in Portland, Oregon and stormed the White House? Remember that? When Donald Trump, a bunker boy, when he was evacuated to the bunker and left out, it was hilarious. What about that?

Was that an insurrection? This is why I opened up the segment, saying to you very clearly, you've got to get these people on the record as to what an insurrectionist really is. And then you take their definition and you apply it to them. Because if that's the definition they're talking about, it's applied to them as well. Here's hard evidence right here. So you had these Antifa BLM terrorists burning down American cities, blue liberal cities, burning down businesses, attacking people. In one case, there was a

killing involved. There was a death. There was a murder. This is serious stuff. You had Antifa folks take over a portion of Seattle and declare it an autonomous chop zone by any definition of the word insurrection. That's it. And yet the vice president of the United States, as you can see from this New York Post article, bail fund backed by Kamala Harris, freedom Minneapolis man charged with murder, actually backed the Minnesota Freedom Fund, as you can see from her own tweet. There it is right there, Kamala Harris. She says, if you're able to chip in now to the Minnesota Freedom Front to help pose bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota. These were people who did not believe in the United States government. Antifa believes in fascism.

That's their thing. They're an anti First Amendment group. They claim to be otherwise. They are not an anti First Amendment group that hates free speech. You want to test that proposition? Go to an Antifa rally with a sign speaking about how bad Antifa is and watch how quickly they bear spray you and try to beat you to death. I thought they were a free anti-fascism group. You fell for that?

Sorry if you're on the left. So is Kamala Harris an insurrectionist? So is Kamala Harris an insurrectionist? If she's literally on her verified Twitter, not figuratively, green, blue checkmark, whatever the hell it is now, orange checkmark, whatever on Twitter, right? Kamala Harris is trying to bail out people promoting an insurrection against established governments in the United States. And how is she not an insurrectionist?

Be alert, be aware, and stay safe. Folks, we're witnessing an ongoing psychological operation against us all, and it's an effort to divide the United States, to steal away your civil liberties by turning one side of the country, liberal America, against us and seeing us as everything we're not. They have to overcome, as Michael Anton said in his piece we covered earlier in the week about this ongoing psychological operation, Americans' natural propensity

to want to support free and open speech. We do. Censorship has a bad flavor to it. We're undergoing an ongoing psychological operation by people in the media and the left, whether they know it or not, whether they're useful idiots or not, that are trying to get half of America

to believe the other side is worthy of being censored and politically targeted and overcome that natural obstacle. This PSYOP is real. You doubt me? I want to play this video here. This is a former FBI official, a disgraced human being in every respect. I'll play a video of him showing you what a buffoon this guy is. This is Frank Fugazi. Frank Fugazi's on MSNBC. And I want you to listen very closely. This guy used to work at the FBI. I don't know what they're doing to screen people who make it into the upper levels of management

at this really failing agency right now. But this guy's just left. This guy should be pulled off the air immediately for just the embarrassment he's causing the FBI. So here's Fugazi with the ongoing PSYOP arguing again that hate and January 6th. Well, you listen to what he's arguing and tell me if this isn't a PSYOP. Check this out. I was involved in efforts to declassify intelligence about foreign terrorists targeting the same kinds of systems and critical infrastructure. It's surreal to read that about domestic threats.

You know, when the head of the FBI says something like the domestic threat is now equal to or greater than the international threat, we better pay attention to that because he's got the data and the intel in front of him. And that's essentially what he's been saying in public testimony. The whole domestic terror movement, the domestic violence, extremism movement is really based on two pillars, hate, race and ethnic based hate. And that will throw in white nationalism there. And then the big lie, the deception and disinformation that they've been suckered into accepting. You hear it, all the buzzwords there.

Notice he wants to talk about domestic terror in context of race. Yet when we have CRT advocates actually pushing to discriminate against white children because of their skin color, he leaves that out and he talks about white supremacy. Again, a buzzword on the left for conservatives, a ridiculous connection they make. This guy is a humiliating embarrassment to humankind. He is a former FBI official suggesting they expand the definition of domestic terrorism and by default insurrectionist to expand any one of a political ideology he doesn't like. And this guy worked at the FBI. Tell me again how we shouldn't be a

little bit frightened about what's going on right now. It's only the most powerful law enforcement agency, federal law enforcement agency anywhere on planet earth. Anywhere. The left and their great reset are here right now where they want to wipe out the history of the united states the great history of the united states yeah we got scars everybody understands that but the great wonderful history of this terrific constitutional republic wipe it clean to start at year zero to make people and these young kids multiple in the new state aligned agenda. And to do that, they've got to get everyone else censored and silenced. And the tools of tarring people with the white supremacy insurrectionist label are tools.

The fact that this guy used to work at the FBI and is on with that just zero, Nicole Wallace shows you the effort, the coordinated effort to silence and shut you down. Folks, it's really, really deeply disturbing stuff.
