Dan Bongino. | |
Welcome to the Bongino Brief. | |
I'm Dan Bongino. | |
All right, I got this video, um, and it makes me think of this concept I keep bringing up on the show about liberal totalitarian culture. | |
They call it cancel culture, but we shouldn't call it that. | |
Sometimes I slip, we should call it totalitarian culture because it's that dangerous. | |
And I've repeatedly stated to you that if we hold strong, Conservatives, Libertarians, Republicans, and sane Democrats, if we hold strong and refuse to cancel our own based on leftist ideas of why people should be fired, should be kept out of the banking system, why places like parlors should be wiped off the internet, if we hold strong and show some backbone, | |
There's a couple theories out there. | |
Theory number one is that, oh yeah, don't worry, the left will eventually go away and it'll die off. | |
And I've said to you, that is not true. | |
They will never go away, number one. | |
That will be insulated from it. | |
Because if the right says, we're not playing your game, we're not going to fire our people. | |
If you own a business, we're not going to cancel other businesses like parlor and what happened to other businesses. | |
We're not going to do that. | |
The left will never stop, and the reason they'll never stop, and my logic is sound. | |
I know I'm right here. | |
I'm sorry. | |
I don't mean to sound conceited about it, but... | |
Because there's power in cancel culture and a lot of these leftists, most of them that do this, are losers. | |
They're total losers. | |
They're in their mommy's basement, they have a Twitter feed with a thousand followers, they somehow got a blue checkmark, and they find power in pointing out what they perceive to be the shortcomings of others and getting them cancelled. | |
They're never gonna stop. | |
So what is gonna happen? | |
What's going to happen is this is eventually going to become an entirely cannibalistic movement, where the left can't cancel people on the right because double-barreled, double-barreled middle finger. | |
We tell them, no thanks. | |
We're not canceling anybody. | |
And they need to do it because they find power and reward and fulfillment in it at the left. | |
So I told you they're going to turn on themselves and it's going to be cannibalistic. | |
Here's it happening right now in front of your very eyes. | |
Here is Maisie Hirono. | |
Radical, lunatic senator from Hawaii. | |
About as radical a leftist as you'll ever find. | |
Also one of the least intelligent people in the U.S. | |
Senate I have on good authority. | |
Not very bright. | |
So here's Maisie Hirono. | |
She's on MSNBC and she's asked a question about her colleague in the Senate, another radical Democrat, Tammy Duckworth. | |
Tammy, these are Democrats. | |
Duckworth and Hirono are asked about this statement by Tammy Duckworth that she's not going to vote for any more Biden cabinet nominees if they're not diverse and AAPI, Asian American Pacific Islander. | |
Joe, I don't know about you, but that sounds kind of racist to me. | |
So you're not going to vote for people who may be skilled because of their skin color, ethnicity, or birthplace, or country of origin? | |
I don't know about you, buddy, but that sounds kind of racist to me. | |
Can we do a little racism check? | |
Guy, does that sound racist to you? | |
Guy's nodding his head. | |
It sounds pretty racist. | |
Joe, does that sound racist to you? | |
Yeah, you got racism here. | |
Racism? | |
That sounds pretty racist to me. | |
We're not going to vote for people for cabinet positions if they're not a certain race. | |
Okay. | |
These are Democrats targeting Joe Biden. | |
I told you that cannibalism would begin. | |
Check this out. | |
I should call everyone's attention to the fact that one of your colleagues, Senator Tammy Duckworth, said today that she told the White House she will vote against all of President Biden's nominees who are still outstanding until they rectify the fact that there is no AAPI representation in Biden's cabinet. | |
Do you stand with her in that? | |
Tammy's position is that until she gets a commitment from the White House that there will be more diversity representation in the cabinet and senior White House advisory positions, she will not vote to confirm anyone who does not represent diversity. | |
So this is not about pitting one diversity group against another. | |
I think this is a well-articulated, focused position and I am prepared to join her in that. | |
Boy, I, again, I hate to be, I wish I was wrong on this. | |
What would make me really happy and content, not a joke, is if liberals would wake up, realize that it's racist to judge people by their skin color, country of origin, sexual orientation, whatever it may be, and that we should probably just judge people by their character and what they do. | |
Again, where we got off that train, I'm not sure, I'm on that train. | |
Where liberals jumped off that train and said, no, it's better to judge people by their race or other characteristics that are immutable. | |
I don't, I don't, I don't know. | |
I don't know when they're going to wake up, but I'm telling you it's no time soon. | |
And now confirmed, again, I wish I was wrong. | |
They will start eating themselves alive. | |
