Chapter 1: What major foreign policy announcement did Trump make about Israel?
Welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino. So, last night, like many of you, I'm sitting at my office. I'm watching Fox News. Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, of course, is giving a press conference with Donald Trump in the White House. And Donald Trump, rather matter-of-factly, drops the biggest public policy, foreign policy announcement in modern U.S. history about Israel.
He says, you know, let me just listen to what he said. I mean, this happened. Play the cut if you would.
We'll take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it, too. We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply
unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area do a real job do something different just can't go back if you go back it's going to end up the same way it has for 100 years
Ladies and gentlemen, cue automatic media liberal progressive meltdown. People were losing their minds. Nobody knew what to do. Folks in the chat, how many of you were watching it live and responded how I did? He said that so matter-of-factly, and if you're going to make a major foreign policy announcement, typically what they do in the past is they tee it up.

Chapter 2: How did the media react to Trump's announcement?
You know, tune in at 8, whatever, big announcement. Nobody said anything. This thing was delayed for, I think, an hour and 37 minutes or something like that. And now I think you know why. Here's what I think happened. He's sitting there in the Oval Office with Netanyahu. He's obviously telling Netanyahu he's going to say this. And Netanyahu's got to be looking at him like, what?
You're going to say that now? Are you right? He's like, he probably laughed the first time. I'm like, no. Really? Like, is this real? Cube media meltdown immediately. Everyone lost their minds. Folks, Joy Reid didn't even know what to say. They were on MSNBC like, is this real? Do we react? Are we being played? Listen to me, okay? I'm going to help everyone out here.
I can't say this enough to media people who constantly misinterpret and overreact this guy. This is the largest MAGA show out there, period. We're always ahead of it. We always drop Ws because we don't overreact and we know Donald Trump's debating and negotiating strategy. What is it? He does this all the time, folks. He drops a bomb maximalist position. In other words, 1 to 100, he drops 99.6.
Chapter 3: What is Trump's strategy for making bold announcements?
He's actually thinking 55.7, but he understands that even though he's thinking 55.7, that if he drops freaking 99.6 and he gets 75.2, he's about 20 points ahead of where he was at 55.6. About. You get it? He does this all the time. 25% tariffs on Canada. Okay, we're going to shut the Fendel off. Okay, we'll delay them. He does it all the time. How many times are you guys going to get played?
Holy shit, watching the media overreact is freaking hilarious. Every time. What do you think he's doing? You think he's going to drop the 101st Airborne into Gaza tomorrow? I'm sorry, man. It's just comical watching these people after now four years and two weeks of Trump, the 2016 term, and two weeks so far. He does this over and over, and he always drops W's to Abraham Accords.
And people, they just keep falling for it. I'm sorry, I didn't finish my thought before. I've been so excited about today's show because I just, I feel like if people would just watch this show, they would stop overreacting and have a better lick their finger feel for politics where the wind is blowing. My gosh. Did you guys respond like I did last night?
I was telling the boys this morning when I came in. I hear this thing, and it was like he said it so matter-of-factly, I had to rewind the thing. And I'm like, did he just say what I think he said, that the U.S. is going to take over Gaza? And I think the media was so surprised. If you guys missed it, the first question wasn't even about...
Chapter 4: How can you protect your family's future with gold?
this major foreign policy statement prescription he put out, the first question was totally unrelated. And then Kelly O'Donnell from NBC, who's no friend of ours, by the way, but I think was the first one who got it, basically grabs the mic and is like, did you just say we're going to take over Gaza? Like she was the first one I think who caught it. More in a minute, but first.
Have you seen the news from some economists forecasting a depression, not a recession, depression by the year 2030? We could be in a perfect storm if Social Security and Medicare hit a breaking point with the largest generation hitting retirement. Smaller workforce usually means a smaller tax base.

And I want you to think about this in context of the Abraham Accords. We don't cover a ton of foreign policy on this show. This is important because it's not just about... foreign policy.
It's about you are, this is going to happen for four years. The Trump people I know have assured me and other people that the pace of change is not slowing down. This isn't a two week thing. This is a four year thing. So you better get used to it.
And if you're not watching this show and you're going to overreact to every single thing, your freaking blood pressure is going to be through the roof and your pulse rate is going to be 122 at rest. Everybody chill. Not you out there. You guys are awesome. You get it. To the crazies. I saw Jonah Goldberg on Twitter. Things are getting dumber.
No, you're getting dumber because you keep getting played. Here's what's going on. Think about it in context to the Abraham Accords. You know what? Can you guys pull this? I'm sorry. I don't know. Michael, look this up. John Kerry. There's a clip of him saying that there will be no solution to the peace in the Arab world without fixing the Palestinian problem.
You have to understand with the Abraham Accords, Donald Trump, who does listen to me, everyone clearly, everyone put the horse blinkers on right now. Donald Trump does not give a shit about how you did things in the past. Let me say that again. He doesn't give a shit. All he cares about is fixing problems.
