This is insane. As of 2024, it's been reported that the interest we pay in the national debt has surpassed every budget item except Social Security. That's why concerned savers are turning to gold, something not tied to the inflated us dollar. And birch gold can help you diversify too. For over 20 years, Birch Gold group has helped thousands protect their savings by converting an IRA or 401K into an IRA and physical gold. Just text Dan to 989898.

Dan Bongino, welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino.

Institutions will not save you. I'm really sorry. It's a horrible day in the United States, which used to be a constitutional republic. It's a horrible day where the whole idea of a separation of powers, right. There were checks and balances vote both horizontally and vertically within the system. It was designed to make sure one faction of the government didn't, in a zero sum game of liberty, steal yours for themselves. That's all falling apart.

Institutions are collapsing everywhere. We got Supreme Court leakers going on. We got Supreme Court justices not willing to defend basic rights like the first amendment. We've got an FBI targeting american citizens. We've got a CIA using their intel operation to steal elections. We've got a bureaucracy like the SEC and the FTC and these other organizations targeting american companies. Folks, the government has completely turned on us. It is a rotting cancer. Reagan was right. I'm from the government. I'm here to help are the most dangerous words in the english language. We now know our own CIA. Our own CIA has been targeting american citizens. This is stunning. Miranda Devine has his bombshell out, and she means it. CIA top officials interfered in the 2020 election by basically clearing the hunter Biden laptop letter.

Folks, leave this up a second, please. Guys, do you understand?

No one in the government thought that the actual hunter Biden laptop was a russian asset operation? Nobody. The FBI knew it was real. They'd already confirmed it. The CIA knew it too. And yet they authorized Joe Biden's team, Tony Blinken, and them to go out and marshal up 51 dipshits to say that it was a russian op. Your CIA stole the freaking 2020 election. Now, listen to me. I get it. I know. Guys, leave that. Leave us up 1 second, please.

These guys are good. They're like, yeah, I know. The word bombshells overused. I get it. I'm with you. And I hate it too.

Folks, this is legit a bombshell.

The CIA, we now know, knew about this. Senator Ron Johnson's like, well, now it explains why CIA Director Haspel basically didn't want to give us any information, wouldn't even schedule a phone call. Gina Haspel had damn well better be getting a congressional subpoena before this election, hopefully in the coming weeks, to explain what the she was doing when the CIA authorized, even de facto authorized to release this letter. Okay, I'm done with that, guys.

Speaker A
I appreciate it.

Dan Bongino
Even CIA insiders, ladies and gentlemen, knew that this would destroy the reputation of the CIA.

Here, here's an unclassified email that was released. Can you just blow that up a little bit? I see it on the screen. Right. Sorry, this frustrates me. I don't think it's helpful to the agency, the CIA in the long run. Psy, not the name. Sigh Sigh.

They knew.

They knew. They stole the election. They knew.

Folks, here's the great cash Patel. I love some cash Patel. Cash is on Fox. Cash was a upper level Trump administration official, many levels of government. Ridiculously smart guy. Here's cash Patel on Fox talking about how the CIA and FBI knew the laptop was real. They had access and they stole the election anyway. There's now no longer any doubt. Our government has been hijacked. The institutions will not save you. They'll come after you. Check this out.

Cash Patel
Just get your take on this cash. The breaking news is coming out of the House intel committee just a short time ago that they're saying the letter that called Hunter Biden's laptop, russian disinformation that the CIA, they're saying from the highest levels, including the CIA director, knew about that letter and they did nothing to stop it.

Cash Patel
This is another example of exploding the lies. From that letter, they said that none of the individuals that signed it had access to classified information when multiple signatories were intelligence communities, contractors with classified intelligence access, and the CIA director, the top intel official in the CIA whose office was presented the letter, had access to that classified information, including the FBI information which verified the laptop. So Gina Haspel again instituted a political operation at the head of the CIA to sit silent and deprive the american people of the truth, to execute a political vendetta she had. This is the IC run amok. And another application, misapplication of law in the two tier system of justice in intelligence.

Dan Bongino
Brothers and sisters, listen, I get it. I understand. I want to say this again. I understand. The word bombshell in the media is overused. There's a tendency toward towards engagement farming and click baiting with people. I get it. We're all guilty of it. At some point. I apologize in advance.

We try to limit it, but we're all guilty of it. I understand this. Please explain to me how this is not a legitimate bombshell.

The CIA, which is not even supposed to be targeting Americans, not only targeted Americans, but targeted Donald Trump and was a key player in stealing an election that determined the course of the country. Wars broke out of inflation broke out. The borders wide open. There are terrorists in the country, the CIA, whose sole job. Am I wrong? Folks in the chat call me out if I'm crazy. Their one job is what? To gather an international intelligence portfolio to help decision makers make decisions to secure the United States. Is that an accurate, sentence long summary? Pretty much correct.

What was the CIA's role in 2020?

To steal an election by creating fake information and feeding it to the media with the imprimatur of truth on it. And Gina Haspel says nothing? Are you shitting me?

This is real, man.

You think this election isn't serious? You think this debate? Oh, no big deal. Not saying you think that.

Do you realize what we're up against? If Joe Biden wins, this is going to become SoP.

The CIA is out of control. The FBI is out of control.

Supreme Court staffers out of control.

Military officials out of control, teaching sex changes and DEi.

That's the bad news.

Speaker A
More in a minute. But first, we recently had monumental news that no one's talking about. For the first time in our history, it's been reported that the interest we pay on the national debt surpassed every individual budget item except Social Security. That's right. The US now spends more on interest than on national defense or even Medicare. And it's only getting worse as big government continues to spend like drunken sailors. That's why savvy investors, central banks and concerned savers are turning to gold, something not tied to the inflated us dollar. You can too, with the help of Birch gold. B I r c h. For over 20 years, Birch Gold group has helped thousands of Americans protect their savings by converting an IRA or 401k into an IRA in physical gold. To learn more, text Dan to 989898.

But here's the good news.

Dan Bongino
We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to change this, folks. Everybody out there is reading this Trump presidency all wrong.

All wrong. Oh, he's only got four years, folks. He doesn't have the pressure of reelection.

He is the first president in a very long time to come into office with presidential experience.

He knows where all the bodies are buried. He knows all the tricks. He knows all the scams. He has no pressure for reelection. Four years in the government is an eternity to clean the rod out.

We have a real opportunity here.

More good news, because I am optimistic. I mean it. Don't let this show scare you, okay? May produce anxiety, produces action. Action produces good outcomes. We create strong men right now. That's what we do. And women, the Magazonians out there, folks, cutesy time is over.

And you're getting a growing crop of Republicans who get this. I'm not telling you we don't still have weak needs, swampies. We do. I get it.

But there is unquestionably a growing crop of republican commentators, political leaders, electeds, even judges out there, judge Cannon and others who actually get it and are willing to fight.

Here's Anna Paulina Luna, who I'm really starting to like. She's not effing around, folks. Merrick Garland doesn't want our attorney general, disgraceful human being, doesn't want to produce the tapes of Joe Biden talking to the special counsel about his records theft. Why? Because they're probably horrible.

So she's holding them in inherent contempt, like, hey, we're going to lock this guy up if he doesn't do something good for you. Check this out.

Anna Paulina Luna
It's important to note that when an individual is called for, courts across the country, they appear. Why should the attorney general, who is supposed to be head of all law enforcement authorities, any different? Garland still has time to comply with this request. We are asking that he bring the tapes to the house and let us listen to them. But in the event that he does not, we will press forward with calling the privileged motion on inheritance contempt to the floor on Friday morning. It is also important to note that if we as a congress do not have the ability to enforce our investigative ability, that we are essentially going to be ignored and undercut and essentially handicapped by all other branches, which would make us not a co equal branch of government.

Speaker A
Listen, maybe.

Dan Bongino
I'm an.

Maybe I'm an optimist.

Speaker A
Inappropriately so. I don't know, folks.

Dan Bongino
Listen, I've been through a lot. So have you. It's not some sob story who gives a shit. We all have our own stressors in.

Speaker A
Life and stuff, but I'm telling you, my little battle with that cancer thing, which I try not to talk about too much because everybody's got their own problems and no one wants to hear about mine.

Dan Bongino
But if you're going to be here.

Speaker A
With me every day, I want you to understand.

Dan Bongino
What goes on in my head really changed everything.

When someone tells you something like that.

Speaker A
And you think you're not going to make it that long, and then you.

Dan Bongino
Find out you will, you like, things really change. Mandy. I hear all this stuff about pharmacological change. Oh, my gosh. Ketamine, psilocybin. I was a different person, you know. What make you a different person? Someone telling you you could die and tell you, no, I think you'll be okay. Let me tell you something, it changes you quick.

I'm optimistic, man. I'm seeing it everywhere I go now. You get people now that they're not interested in bullshit anymore. They're just not. They don't want to hear about. Oh, no, no. Those are mostly good guys. And all. Like the white knights coming around the corner to save us. They're all like, no, no. We're going to save ourselves. Powers, the solution. We're going to take it. Everybody's going to get fired. We're going to rebuild the thing, and it's going to be different. Bullshit. Cutesy time is over.

You're seeing it everywhere. No one's taking the FBI's word on anything anymore. Oh, the FBI said so. Okay. I believe the opposite, then. Oh, the media said so. What did they say?

What did they say? If the media told me tomorrow, three plus three equals six, I got to tell you, I'd have to check the mathematic because they're full of shit.

But we have a growing crop of real journalists out there, too. We do? Yes, we do.

Darren Beatty, Julie Kelly Taibbi. Others out there doing actual work. Here's Julie Kelly. Yesterday. You still trust the FBI? This is hilarious. You see this tweet? Part of emotion. Filed yesterday by Walt. Nada. Good, guys. Donald Trump's assistant by his attorney. This is how seriously, folks, the FBI took the handling of top secret government files at Mar a Lago.

They ran out of classified cover sheets. You know, they could stage on the floor.

They ran out. So what did they do? Show them the picture. Guys. This is real. It's not a joke. This is what they put.

This is not a joke. I am not messing with you. This is from the official court filings for those of you listening on Apple and Spotify.

What is it, guys? It's a piece of paper. In handwriting. Secret doc.

Your FBI guys are really on the ball, man.

I guess you didn't put that in the picture because it didn't look good. You needed the fake cover sheets instead. Secret doc, one page.

FBI, man. I'm sorry. Should be. I should be crying, rather. It's unbelievable. Nobody trusts you anymore. You have the opportunity in a Trump administration, with a bunch of new people there, to rebuild trust in our FBI, rebuild trust in our secret service that got rolled in Mar a Lago. We have an opportunity to do that because let me tell you something. I worked there, you guys. And when I was there, you work for us.

You work for us. If you don't like that, go get a private sector job where you work for yourself. That's what I do now. You work for the taxpayers. You don't have to like it, you can quit.

But this government operates by consent of the govern. We pay for it. And we give you the power. The Dan Bongino show.
