Dan Bongino. Welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino. Just remember, ladies and gents, the Bongino rule applies. Wait 24 to 72 hours before you draw any final conclusions about a story because the first version is typically bulls**t. So the Bongino rule even applies when it comes to stories about Bongino. I'll show you what I mean. I'll show you the genesis of how a fake news story works today. Conclusive, but this is it. Conclusive proof, the roadmap to how the media creates a story out of a non-story just like that. I'm just telling you, process the inputs, give it about 24 to 72 hours before you draw some kind of

output conclusions. If it's a story about Donald Trump, I would recommend you extend that to probably longer than 72 hours because there's a damn good chance the story's probably fake. So that happened to me this weekend. I was out this weekend, went out. It was a friend's birthday. You know, we're having a good time. We went to a restaurant before. It was out with a couple of couples out there.

And we're out in Palm Beach. And like I said, it's a friend's birthday. So we're with a couple of couples out there. And we're out in Palm Beach. And like I said, it's a friend's birthday. So we're having a good time. Friend says, by the way, she picked up the bill for her own birthday dinner, which I was upset about. So that'll be relevant in a second. So she's like, hey, listen, afterwards, it was still early. It was only like, I don't know, about 9.30 or so. We're down in a Palm Beach area, kind of like a foo-foo spot. I don't live in Palm Beach. I live north of there, but whatever. There's a lot of good restaurants down there.

So went out afterwards. We go to this like social club type place. Not very big. I don't know. Maybe less than 3,000 square feet kind of place. I don't know. It's not that big of a place, but it's kind of one of these like cigar loungy kind of places. We can drink and they play music.

The music's kind of a little loud. So maybe a little more clubby than loungy but you get the point long story short because i don't want to beat this thing to death the end it's about i don't know 11 20 11 30 or so i'm sitting there we've been having a good time for like an hour and a half or so the they ordered a bottle service for my friends it's her birthday so i pick up the tab because she had paid for dinner it was the right thing to do. Leave the lady a nice tip. Everybody's happy. Actually gave her some cash afterwards too. I don't know.

I declare it. That's up to them. I don't know. It's not my problem, right? So we're getting ready to walk out. And I see, I look next to me over my shoulder and I see this ruckus.

And I see this guy. He's got this woman like in a bear hug dragging her out of this place. Like in a bear hug dragging her out of this place like in a bear hug like like this is like UFC style and I'm like what uh is that about now because I'm kind of looking this way all I see is a hand because this is a pretty big dude and all I see is a hand then I notice gosh that bracelet looks familiar that That's Paula's bracelet. I'm like, what the? So, of course, by the time I process what's going on, because it's not a big place,

the guy's already outside and has put Paula down, thankfully. I thought he was going to slam her on the ground or something the way this was going down, right? Because it was not, this was not nice. This was not like a cutesy type thing. Now, keep in mind, I've been with this woman 20 years, right? We've never ever been thrown out of a bar. I used to, my family used to own a bar. We live, I'm not the virtue singer, but we leave big tips. We always like to take care of people. I think anyone who knows me can vouch for that because it's the right thing to do. Right. So of course this thing, I'm screaming at this guy, like get your hands off my wife.

Like obviously, right? You're going to defend your woman. But we got to go because I realized this thing's going to, you know, we don't want to, you know how it is when you, unfortunately, when you got a public name, everything turns into a thing right away. So we get in this bus, me and these few couples and we take off, right?

So we leave. I figured it's only a matter of time before somebody, of course, gets a picture of this. And the next day, someone, a litman or somebody from Playbook reaches out. So this is the genesis of how fake news works. It applies to this Russia story too. So the next day, this guy texts me. So I tell him, listen, that's basically not what happened. That's a fantastic version of events because he's telling me, I hear you were thrown out.

I wasn't thrown out of anywhere. OK, I just want to be clear on that. Right. So I'm not going to give this guy the story because he's from Bullshitico, known as Politico, and they do nothing but lie. So I said, you can wait. I'll tell the story on my show when I got a few minutes on my show and you can hear what actually happened. Of course, he couldn't wait. Littman or whatever his name is. I've seen this guy on newsmax kind of a tool i mean really comes

off as like kind of a goofball but at politico sunday morning he was spotted conservative media personality and former fox news host dan bongino getting forcibly removed from cucina palm beach by several restaurants forcibly removed so of course now the story's set that Good. Forcibly removed. So, of course, now the story's set. That I was forcibly. Now, keep in mind, none of this is actually true. But that doesn't stop him from writing the story. Now, this is the text I sent back to him. You'll have to tune into my podcast on Monday for the real story.

But because they can't wait, and the fake news people have to put out a clickbait story, they have to get the narrative out early. You see how this works? You guys all catching it? The story's got to be that I did something that I was forcibly removed for. Now, I don't want to beat this thing to death. So Guy, you got to let me wrap this up in a minute or two. But the bottom line is, did you notice they never tell you why I was forcibly removed? More in a minute. But first, as central banks in countries like China, India, and Australia begin transitioning to a digital currency, the Federal Reserve has been contemplating the same for the US. That's a bad

idea. With a digital currency, the government can track every single purchase. They'll know what you're doing all the time. It'll be the biggest surveillance tool in US history. I've warned you about this, these digital currencies. One of the big reasons, by the way, concerned Americans like me are buying gold from Birch Gold Group, B-I-R-C-H. They want to have a physical, touchable asset that's independent from the US dollar, gold. Gold can be held in a tax shelter retirement account. I buy my gold from Birch Gold to make sure I'm diversified. Learn if gold's right for you too. Text Dan to 989898. They'll send you a free information kit on gold.

Lipman like lips, whatever. Lipman could have done so oh is it Lipman? Lipman like lips whatever Lipman could have actually done some homework someone sent him a picture and asked but because they want the story out that the conservative guy

was forcibly removed this sets that now they can all report on this so you see how it sprouts like a chia pet here's the so this is just minutes before this happened by the way this is Joe out of control. This is me and Paula.

Justin, how out of control are we in this? This is, we are just violently out of control. Violently. That's a video I took on my phone of me and Paula. This is just probably, I don't know, 20 minutes before this happened. Like a freaking maniac. I know. I don't know how, clearly.

I mean, just totally foaming at the mouth, wetting myself. That's just, definitely get him out. So we're still trying to figure out, like, what the hell happened? Bottom line is, Paul was on the line for a bathroom, to go to the bathroom. The guy's like, she's on the wrong line or whatever. It was just a total miscommunication. And the guy decides to bear hug my wife and drag her out so lefties think this is hilarious here's mediaite of course dan bogino was reported you see

reportedly you see how it works get the story out lipman yeah without doing any homework on this at all or waiting get the story out first and then everybody else gets to report it if this was hunter biden getting dragged out they'd be like heroic Hunter Biden, chivalrous King Arthur, Hunter defense woman from attack. Not me would be, I was forcibly removed. None of this actually. And I love this media from a Miami bottle service club. All media I had to do was put in a search engine, Kuchina. It's not in Miami. It's in Palm Beach. All you had to do was... Same s***, different day.

Bro, that's all you had to do. Wait, you got the Raw Story one? So Raw Story, which is a hack site, Raw Story's got to jump on it too. Dan Bongino caught being thrown out of a Palm Beach restaurant. At least they got the location right. Sarah Burns. Folks, that's not what happened.

That's not what happened at all. I was not thrown out. And I'm really praying that some video of this surfaces in the next few days. There'll be a lot of deleted tweets, I'm sure, afterwards. I've got to take some actions afterwards, of course. I'm sure afterwards, I've got to take some actions afterwards, of course. But if you saw what really happened, I think you'd be stunned. But that's the media story.

You see how they can't wait? That's why the Bongino rule applies, even about Bongino. Could have waited. Could have waited to hear the story before you actually report on it. But they don't want to wait. Because I'm a conservative, the story automatically is that somehow I was thrown out of a Miami board. None of that is actually true.
