Dan Bongino.
Welcome to the Bongino Brief.
I'm Dan Bongino.
So what would a real tyranny look like?
You know, we mentioned a lot during the show this idea of authoritarianism, tyranny, totalitarianism.
But I think maybe what I've failed to do recently is to put meat on the bone and show you what it would actually look like.
Soup to nuts.
Here in the United States.
And I ask the question, is it already here?
Election interference, spying, all this stuff's going to play in today to what a tyranny would
look like in the United States.
Is it here right now?
Real tyranny.
I'm not talking about the stuff written in books.
If we were living in one right now, what would it look like?
It would have some hallmarks.
Let's get to them one by one.
Number one, the public private self would disappear.
I've said it repeatedly, right?
There is no private self.
You can be spied on anywhere, anytime by anyone.
You'd find yourself on government watch lists
based on your politics.
These are the hallmarks of a tyranny.
I mean, Joe, right?
This is the kind of stuff
that you can just read the history books.
It's not Dan Bongino's opinion.
It's what's actually happened in authoritarian,
tyrannical, totalitarian governments in the past.
Watch lists, government spying. I would put an asterisk next to that and say that is the most
important thing. That would be number one. But isn't that already happening? The government
spying and the watchlist. I mean, we've already known about the Spygate scandal. We know about
their push for red flag laws. We already know about the ministry of truth efforts to monitor what people do online.
We already know about the spying on your metadata that was already revealed. The NSA is collecting
your metadata. So it's kind of already happening right now. I mean, we don't have to speculate
on what a tyranny would look like in the United States. If some of the stuff that's happening
is happening right now?
What would the second hallmark of this be? Well, abusive law enforcement and selective justice, which is no justice at all. Meaning applying what you call the law
only to target your political enemies while letting your political friends violate the law
willy-nilly left and right. Sounds like what's happening right now.
Showed up at the Stop the Steal rally. You find yourself the target of an FBI investigation.
Clearly violate the law by showing up at Justice Kavanaugh's house in clear violation of the law
prohibiting protests in front of judges' residences. And what happens? You're celebrated
by the hack left-wing media goons.
Here's another abuse of law enforcement selective justice.
We already talked about it.
Peter Navarro, Trump advisor.
He gets subpoenaed for BS over January 6th.
Peter Navarro fights back,
finds himself in handcuffs and leg irons.
He'll be on my radio show, by the way,
next week. We had Eric Holder, former attorney general, disgraced human being, does the same thing. Says, I'm not going to comply with this subpoena, finds himself a hero on the left,
an icon amongst the media, selective justice, private public self disappearing, spying.
Sounds like that's happening right now. Three violence right any tyranny needs jackbooted thugs political violence
well one of the jackbooted thugs showed up in front of justice brett kavanaugh's house last
night supreme court justice or the night before early morning night 1 a.m. with a handgun, what, some zip ties, duct tape, whatever, getting ready to what,
torture and kill Justice Kavanaugh, his family? I think the media would kind of give it a day off
and let Justice Kavanaugh's family kind of sleep peacefully wherever they are. We don't even know
if they're at the house. Nope. Nope. Bunch of lunatics showed
up in front of his house. Again, I got that video coming right up. So spying, abusive law enforcement,
political violence sounds like it's happening right now. What would be number four?
Violations of process everywhere. due process, electoral process.
He who counts the vote matters most, right?
Well, we've already seen massive due process violations on January 6th.
People find themselves in jail for now.
It's going to be a year soon for trespassing.
Get Antifa, BLM, burn down cities.
And nobody seems to care about that.
An NFL coach brought this up and was forced at the end of a barrel of a political gun to apologize, of course.
And then, of course, we have elections.
I have an interview with Mo Brooks and Chris Hayes coming up, which is terrific,
where Mo Brooks, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Alabama, challenges goon Chris Hayes, hack, to a debate.
And Chris Hayes runs away like a cowardly little chump like he's
always been due process violations all over the place we don't need to guess what a tyranny looks
like it's here right now it's happening right now more in a minute but first if you're looking for

Folks, here's what I mean.
There's a really shocking appearance last night by Senator Josh Hawley.
Shocking to some, not shocking to me because we predicted this on the Tucker Carlson show.
Now, what's one of the hallmarks of a tyranny? Spying. Spying and monitoring of citizens. You
know that. Everybody knows it. It's not a matter of my opinion. It is a matter of fact. Every
tyrannical, totalitarian, empire, monarchy, king, dictator, whatever, commandante, whatever it is, has spied on their citizens.
Keep me in control, man.
You got to do that.
Keep them deplorable smellies under control.
Well, now we find out Josh Hawley got some FOIA requests together.
He's a Republican senator from Missouri.
And he found out that the ministry of truth,
which we were assured Joseph, if you remember by the Biden administration at DHS had nothing to do
with monitoring us citizens or censoring them. And Joe and I were like, we gave them the double
barreled thumb up. Sure. Of course it was about monitoring and censoring you i mean
that's obviously what they do well now of course they got some paperwork showing that that's true
if you wanted to talk about elections if you want to talk about the vaccine if you wanted to talk
about masks they were going to target you which is course, obviously a First Amendment violation. But they don't really care because they're tyrants.
Here, check this out.
Calm down, conspiracy nut, Joe Biden told us recently.
My disinformation board is going to focus on foreign sources of disinformation.
It's not aimed at the domestic population.
Well, thank heaven for Senator Josh Hawley, because he just got whistleblower documents
showing that is, of course, a total lie.
The memos Hawley obtained
showed the board was created in part
to monitor domestic speech,
conspiracy theories about the validity
and security of elections and COVID vaccines.
If you question the COVID vaccines,
right, you need to be monitored.
The board was also working on a partnership
with Twitter to suppress unauthorized opinions
of many stripes.
Josh Hawley is, of course, a senator from Missouri.
He joins us tonight with these documents.
Senator, thanks so much for coming in and for doing this.
So this was aimed, tell me if I'm mischaracterizing this, at our population.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
As it turns out, Tucker, the people that the Biden administration thinks are the real threat to America,
it's not the drug cartels, it's not foreign threats.
It's you. It's the American people. If you have questions about COVID, if you have questions
about COVID masks, if you have questions about the COVID vaccine, this administration wanted
you to be monitored. This disinformation board was set up to go after you. That's what the
documents say. That's exactly what the documents say. You're going to question the vaccine. You're
going to question masks. You're going to question elections.
You know, you thought you lived in a free state,
a constitutional republic with free and open and fair discourse,
where you were allowed to ask freaking questions.
Well, you thought wrong.
The government right in front of our face was establishing a ministry of truth,
a disinformation entity to monitor and censor you.
We warned you.
We were told, of course, it was a conspiracy theory.
And we were right again.
Here is the home for truth.
You come here, you will be ahead.
We see around corners here all the time.
Not because we're the Stygian witches.
Not because we're Karnak from the Johnny Carson show.
But because I know what tyrants look like.
They always take their masks off.
Censorship is the hallmark of the left.
Keep your head on a swivel around these people.
They are dangerous, destructive people.
They are dangerous.
I can't emphasize this enough.
They are not kidding.
This is not a game. And they lie all the time about everything.
Here was Psaki's replacement,
Kareem Jean-Pierre,
caught lying about the Ministry of Truth,
which we now know was designed
as a domestic censorship board.
Lying. Check this out.
Neither Nina Jankowicz nor the board have anything to do with the censorship
or with removing content from anywhere.
Their role is to ensure that national security officials are updated
on how misinformation is affecting the threat environment.
She has strong credentials and a history of calling out misinformation from both the left and the right.
And that's our focus.
Calling out misinformation from the left and the right.
That's interesting.
I don't see her doing a lot of that misinformation from the left stuff.
Sorry, promoting a lot of garbage.
Here's another one.
Here is the disinformation minister who has since resigned
the position, Nina Jankowicz. Here when she was caught, she plays the game the left is going to
play with this show and always does. When you call the left out for their obvious tyrannical bent,
obvious censorship, violence, what do they do? They turn around just like they will with this show.
And Bonjito is conspiracy mongering to scare people. I'm telling you the truth.
They don't want you to see the truth. They think they can quiet me down.
You will never, ever, ever quiet me down. Ever. Here's Nina Jankowicz playing that exact game saying,
oh my gosh,
listen,
they exposed me for what I was going to do.
I was going to monitor Americans traffic and gosh,
I'm the victim.
I got death threats.
I just played for you a threat the other day.
There was just the lefty who showed up at Kavanaugh's house with a gun and
they're the victims here.
Check this out.
We created unintentionally an information vacuum that was filled with falsehoods and frankly directed a lot of vitriol and digging into my own personal life that I think was entirely disproportionate to the amount of power that I had at the department.
These decisions were being made at a much higher level than mine.
And as a result, you know, my family and I have faced threats almost every day for the
past three weeks.
You see how they play the victim all the time?
These people do nothing but spew misinformation all the time.
And then when we expose them, this, I mean, you want to talk about the hallmark of a genuine
tyranny.
When you expose the tyrants, the tyrants turn it around on you and do the dipsy do flip
a room. Now, one of the things this disinformation ministry was designed to target was anyone
questioning the 2020 election, which 2000 mules has blown the door off the ballot harvesting
scheme. We have covered it. We've had Dinesh on the radio show twice. We've had, we've covered it
on this show repeatedly.
We had almost an entire show dedicated to it, a weekend interview show.
2,000 Mules, my platform, Rumble.
We played the video on Locals, which we own.
2,000 Mules has blown the door off it.
They don't want you to know the truth
about the schemes they were pulled in 2020.
So they wanted to shut you down
using Nina Jankowicz, the very hallmark of a tyranny. I want to play just a portion of this
supercut, how the Democrats, again, they are the party that has always questioned elections. They
lose it. Here's a supercut, hat tip, Grabian. This is Obama, Ron Klain, Biden's chief of staff, Biden himself, and Hillary all questioning elections.
But when they do it, ladies and gentlemen, it's A-OK.
Remember, what was part two of the hallmarks of a tyranny?
Part two, abuse of law enforcement and selective justice.
Selective justice.
You talk about elections, sick the disinformation board on them.
They talk about elections and election the disinformation board on them. They talk about
elections and election scams and election schemes. They say whatever they want, perceived election
scams. It's a-okay. Here, check this out. Here it is right here. It was a process that was rigged
against us. We actually won the last presidential election, folks. They stole the last presidential
election. As we look at our election system, I think it's fair to say that there are
many legitimate questions about its accuracy, about its integrity. How are you going to keep
it from us being able to be in a position where you can manipulate the machines, manipulate the
records? In Virginia, when I was governor, I had to replace all the machines. Too many voters have
cast votes on machines that jam or malfunction or suck the votes without a trace.
Sounds like the kind of thing Republicans were talking about.
But when Republicans talk about it, I don't know, sick Nina Jankowicz on them, scary Poppins.
Maybe she'll sing a show tune or something like that.
Folks, folks, people are catching on selective enforcement of the law, abuse of the process, spying, due process violations,
selective targeting of people.
You don't have to ask what a tyranny looks like.
You're living in one right now, folks, right now.
This NFL defensive coordinator, Jack Del Rio.
Jack's a good man.
Jack's got a lot of guts.
You know, since kind of put an apology out there, which I don't think he had to do. It doesn't matter. The's a good man. Jack's got a lot of guts, you know, since kind of putting
apology out there, which I don't think he had to do. It doesn't matter. The left doesn't care.
And the right will wonder why you apologize. So it doesn't really matter. But
Jack Del Rio brought up some interesting questions yesterday. We need more people
with cultural capital to start asking questions like this. Jack Del Rio is like, listen, you know,
I watched a bunch of BLM Antifa people.
You know, I watched them burn down these neighborhoods and stuff. I didn't see much
happen to them. Were you allowed to ask questions about that? You know, January 6th, you had this
thing happen. All these people found themselves thrown in prison. Where are the BLM Antifa people
in prison? Of course, the cancel culture tyrants and nutbags went after him right away because,
you know, we're not allowed to put the truth out there. Tyrants hate the truth.
Watch for yourself. Why are we not looking into those things? We're going to talk about it.
Why are we not looking into those things? Because it's kind of hard for me to say i can realistically look at
it i see the images on tv people's livelihoods are being destroyed businesses are being burned down
no problem and then we have a dust up at the capitol well there's nothing burned down
and we're not going to talk about we're We're going to make that a major deal. I just think it's got two standards.
And if we apply the same standard
and we're going to be reasonable with each other,
let's have a discussion.
That's all it was.
Let's have a discussion.
He's had to walk that back a bit,
which I strongly disagree with.
Jack, don't do it.
I love Jack Del Rio.
He's a great guy.
He mildly walked it back.
Don't walk it back.
Don't walk it back. Don't walk it back.
It's too important of a time.
We need people with cultural capital like you to speak the truth.
Is there a standard?
If the standard is you set fires and attack government buildings like leftists and Antifa
did to the Oregon courthouse and you go to jail on terrorism charges and stay there forever. And that's the standard for everyone. Good, good. Let's do that. But don't stop asking
questions, Jack, please. Folks, law and process is clear. In a constitutional republic, you have law
and you have process. Law is clear. It is illegal to show up and protest in front
of a judicial officer's house.
Yet after
some lunatic showed up at Brett
Kavanaugh's house, this is very sensitive to
me, folks. I did this for a living for a long
time with a gun,
with tactical equipment,
with duct tape. What was he planning
to do?
The same day this happened, a bunch of lunatic
protesters flipped America, the double-barreled, well, that's the family-friendly middle finger,
but I assure you they weren't giving you the family-friendly, showed up in front of Kavanaugh's
house telling you, you live in a tyranny. We can do whatever we want. Break the law in front of your face on the same
day a guy's locked up for attempting to murder the guy in that house, Justice Kavanaugh, and we are
going to stick it in your face and not a damn freaking thing is going to happen to us. Now,
do you see where they want to hide the truth?
When I expose stuff like this, it drives them mad. I'm telling you, I see them seething.
I see them foaming. I see them doing this because they hate the fact that I bring the receipts every single time. The Dan Bongino Show. If you'd like to hear more, subscribe
