Dan Bongino, welcome to the Bongino brief. I'm Dan Bongino. Trump goes out and talks to hostile audiences. He'll talk to anyone, anywhere. He doesn't need a focus group. He doesn't need cue cards. He'll talk to anyone and people respect it. I'm not saying any politician can get away with what Trump does. They couldn't. I'm telling you right now, don't try to replicate his strategy because it's not going to work.
But you think Kamala Harris, do you really believe this? He knows it's preposterous even think of. But can you imagine Kamala Harris subjecting herself to an extended interview from conservative journalists in a way like that, that Trump is doing to these liberal black journalists? I'm going to put an offer out there, folks, from the bonjito army. I need a favor.
Go on. X tag the Kamala Harris account.
Cut this clip if you have to.
Unknown
I am promising her, on my honor, a fair interview.
Dan Bongino
I will not interrupt her. I'll even give them the questions in advance.
I'll give them ten. They can pick five. How about that?
Kamala Harris is willing to come on my radio show and do a, just an 18 minutes interview or so.
I will. I will let them pick. I'll post ten questions. They can pick five.
I guarantee you she won't do it. Trump done the whole time. Trump goes anywhere.
Urban radio, Country Radio, National association of Black Journalists, South Bronx. Where's Kamala Harris going?
She won't do it.
So let me say Trump's the bad guy because he talks to people who would be his natural ideological opposition, a group of journalists, black or otherwise, who don't like him and what, he's the one to be pillory because he said the truth. Kamala Harris has said multiple times different things to different people depending on where she thinks she can get power from.
Of course, this thing was a big w. Anyone telling you otherwise is full of shit. It's why Ellie Mistol's flipping out. He was trump yesterday. Here's how the thing opens up. The lady goes after him right away. Question number one, after delaying the guy for a half an hour and then blaming him for their delays, which, by the way, no one even knows if that was intentional or not yet. I don't trust journalists at all. Here's Donald Trump just absolutely wrecking these journalists.

Unknown

This is an attack on a political opponent. I have another one where I, sir, if you don't mind, I'd love to judge.
Unknown
We have you for a limited time, sir, I'd love to move on to.
Donald Trump
Different, no, excuse me. You're the one that held me up for 35 minutes. Just so you understand.
Dan Bongino
You understand how this stuff, the american people generally hate journalists because they're liars. Just go out and look at any public survey on what even democrats think. There's a substantial swath of democrats that don't like journalists.
They see Trump as the hero in this. It's amazing how many people think this was a net negative for him yesterday. They don't understand at all how he came out of this with Awww.

Dan, here's one more clip. And I want to get to something else. And our best asset right now is Kamala, who's a total fake and a phony.
He absolutely crushes this race baiting journalist trying to, again, falsely defame this guy as a racist. She has no evidence of that at all. Donald Trump has shown nothing but a history of being kind to people of all racial and ethnic groups. They just making this up. No one ever said this in the past when he wasn't a Republican. They made it up. And no, he doesn't have to take it. This is exactly how you deal with these buffoons. Watch this.
Unknown
You have used words like animal and rabbit to describe black district attorneys. You've attacked black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the questions that they ask are, quote, stupid and racist. You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your Mar a Lago resort.
So my question, sir, now that you are asking black supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust you after you have used language like that?
Donald Trump
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been asked a question so in such a horrible manner. First question, you don't even say, hello, how are you? Are you with ABC? Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible network.
And I think it's disgraceful that I came here in good spirit.
I love the black population of this country. I've done so much for the black population of this country.
Dan Bongino
That is exactly how you deal with these people. Folks, the woman was not asking a question. So Donald Trump has no obligation whatsoever to answer her non question. If she is going to make a political statement, then Donald Trump has every single moral and ethical right to respond with a statement of his own. That was not a question.
It had a question mark at the end, but it was, it was a declarative statement.
I think you're a racist and here's why. None of that's any evidence whatsoever of him being a racist.
Again, people make mistakes and do things. I'm sure he wish he could take a lot of stuff back. There is zero evidence whatsoever any of those false, defamatory statements she made are actually a basis for a racism charge. She's just making it up.
Nobody, nobody paddles right back, pickleball style, than Donald Trump.
And folks, listen to me. Our best asset right now is Kamala.
You think that comment yesterday about race and everything is going to damage Trump? I'm telling you, you're reading this all wrong. You can say all you want, racist rate. You've said it so many times, no one's listening. That's not the point he was making. He was making the point that this woman is a total phony.
She goes in front of liberal groups and she's a straight up communist. She goes in front of middle class union workers and she pretends to be a moderate democrat. Does she not realize that X and Rumble and YouTube and truth and Facebook. These clips live on forever? She just said this stuff, ladies and gentlemen, a few years ago, not in the halcyon days of 1964.
Here she was just a few years ago in this short clip because she's such an environmental lunatic, one of these green, new deal, cow farting people.
Here she is implying that young people shouldn't have children. This is how crazy this woman is, her best asset, her watch.
Kamala Harris
I've heard young leaders talk with me about a term they've coined called climate anxiety.
Right? Which is fear of the future and the unknown of whether it makes sense for you to even think about having children, whether it makes.
Unknown
Speaker one, you.
Dan Bongino
Are you justifying the end of the human race over faux climate anxiety and fake fake apocalyptic predictions about the end of the earth that your left wing lunatic friends have told you? The Dan Bongino show if you'd like.
