=== Project Veritas Revelations (03:04) ===

[00:00:00]  Dan Bongino.
[00:00:02]  Welcome to the Bongino Brief.
[00:00:03]  I'm Dan Bongino.
[00:00:05]  So, Project Veritas strikes again.
[00:00:07]  I said to Paul... Did I now, Paul?
[00:00:12]  I said, uh, is there a more feared person in America right now than James O'Keefe at Project Veritas?
[00:00:18]  This guy's network of informants is amazing.
[00:00:21]  He's got people everywhere.
[00:00:23]  CNN, Twitter, all over the place, who are probably fed up with media PP tape misinformation scandals and big tech censorship.
[00:00:33]  So they send them stuff.
[00:00:35]  So this is Project Veritas, James O'Keefe.
[00:00:37]  They got a video of Jack Dorsey, who runs Twitter there, on tape basically admitting, here's about a minute clip of this.
[00:00:45]  You can watch the whole thing at Project Veritas' website.
[00:00:49]  You can see the whole thing.
[00:00:49]  I'm sure he's got more coming.
[00:00:50]  He says he does.
[00:00:52]  Here's Dorsey admitting that they were focused on one account, the president, which seems kind of weird.
[00:00:56]  Maybe focus on the Ayatollah Khomeini recommending genocide on your platform, Joe.
[00:01:01]  Just an idea.
[00:01:02]  Just maybe that's the account you want to focus on.
[00:01:06]  So here's him, I think, admitting you were focused on one account.
[00:01:09]  Appears to be Donald Trump, referencing the context he's talking.
[00:01:13]  And he goes on to say, but don't worry, it's bigger than that too.
[00:01:16]  Oh, there's more coming. Twitter's only purged like what?
[00:01:20]  Like one 100th of the platform. It was more next. I don't know. I can't,
[00:01:24]  I can't even figure out the numbers. Check this out. Here's Dorsey.
[00:01:26]  Always feel free to express yourself in whatever format.
[00:01:29]  We do intend to do the full retro. As I said, in my note is going to take some time. Um,
[00:01:42]  and then the other thing just to just close out a little bit, we,
[00:01:46]  you know, we, we are focused on one account right now, but this is going to be much bigger than just one account.
[00:01:52]  And it's going to go on for much longer than just this day, this week,
[00:01:57]  It's going to go on beyond the inauguration.
[00:02:00]  We have to expect that.
[00:02:01]  We have to be ready for that.
[00:02:03]  So the focus is certainly on this account and how it ties to real-world violence, but also we need to think much longer term around how these dynamics play out over time.
[00:02:17]  I don't believe this is going away anytime soon.
[00:02:20]  And the moves that we're making today around what we're doing on forensics is one such example
[00:02:27]  of a much broader approach that we should be looking at and going deeper on.
[00:02:33]  So the team has a lot of work and a lot of focus on this particular issue.
[00:02:39]  We also need to deepen the space and the support to focus on the most bigger picture
[00:02:44]  because it is not going away.
[00:02:47]  Priorities, man, you know?
[00:02:49]  I mean, you got the Ayatollah talking about mass genocide in an Iranian terrorist regime that's probably been responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans over a decade, but definitely focus on the Donald Trump account.

=== Smart, Stupid People Are Dangerous (02:08) ===

[00:03:02]  That is it.
[00:03:03]  Twitter, you are really doing a public service.
[00:03:05]  Don't even bother with the Chinese Communist Party talking about on Twitter's platform how they're sterilizing Uyghurs for their own good.
[00:03:13]  Don't worry about that!
[00:03:15]  You gotta focus on that one account like Jack said.
[00:03:18]  If you're falling for this guy's BS like the Wall Street Journal did, listen, like I told you, they got good people there and some silly people at the Journal, I'm sorry.
[00:03:28]  In the op-ed column this morning, they're actually like, Jack Dorsey, he's deliberating and at least he's doing a retrospective.
[00:03:36]  Jack Dorsey is the biggest fraud on planet Earth and only dopes The smart dopes.
[00:03:44]  Remember, who's dangerous?
[00:03:46]  Smart, stupid people are dangerous.
[00:03:48]  Stupid, stupid people are not as dangerous as smart, stupid people.
[00:03:52]  Don't ever forget that.
[00:03:53]  That's axiomatic.
[00:03:54]  Trust me.
[00:03:55]  I've been unfortunately on the receiving end of this.
[00:03:58]  Dealing with smart, stupid people.
[00:04:01]  Jack is a smart, stupid person.
[00:04:04]  They are the most dangerous people on the planet.
[00:04:07]  With his dopey looking, you know, six foot tall, I live in a, I'm a hermit, and like living in a cave in the middle of Utah somewhere, trying to pretend he's some kind of new bohemian.
[00:04:19]  This guy is a fraud of epic proportions.
[00:04:23]  He's a liberal activist and a simple-minded one.
[00:04:26]  This nonsense, and the journal fell for it.
[00:04:28]  He's being introspective about his role.
[00:04:31]  Really?
[00:04:32]  Really, guys?
[00:04:34]  And ladies there, really?
[00:04:36]  Are you smart, stupid people, too, like you fell for this?
[00:04:40]  He's got the Ayatollah calling for genocide in Israel, and he's worried about Donald Trump, and you're, like, giving him a hat to hijack?
[00:04:50]  Thanks for being so introspective.
[00:04:52]  Holy Moses.
[00:04:53]  Smart, stupid people are the most dangerous people on the planet.
