Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:22 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.
Starting point is 00:00:37 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.
Starting point is 00:00:54 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
Starting point is 00:01:15 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
Starting point is 00:02:01 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.
Starting point is 00:02:33 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
Starting point is 00:03:15 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?
Starting point is 00:04:09 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,
Starting point is 00:04:36 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 a firearm I wholeheartedly recommend Henry repeating arms they make 200 models of rifles shotguns and revolvers in a wide variety of calibers and finishes.

You're going to love this company. 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
Starting point is 00:06:10 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,
Starting point is 00:06:45 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.
Starting point is 00:07:32 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
Starting point is 00:07:52 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.
Starting point is 00:08:09 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
Starting point is 00:08:38 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.
Starting point is 00:09:04 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.
Starting point is 00:09:28 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.
Starting point is 00:09:48 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
Starting point is 00:10:12 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.
Starting point is 00:10:38 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.
Starting point is 00:11:24 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.
Starting point is 00:11:36 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?
Starting point is 00:12:09 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.
Starting point is 00:12:47 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
Starting point is 00:13:11 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
Starting point is 00:13:45 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.
Starting point is 00:14:28 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.
Starting point is 00:15:01 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.
Starting point is 00:15:26 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
Starting point is 00:16:12 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,
Starting point is 00:16:36 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.
Starting point is 00:16:48 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
Starting point is 00:17:29 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
Starting point is 00:17:48 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
