Chapter 2: Who profits from crime according to Dan Bongino?
Welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino. Only people who love crime are the freaking criminals because that's where they make their money from the crime because they can't do anything else. Sounds like a lot of our corrupt politicians. Here's Stephen Miller again. You really want to be on the wrong side of this? Take James Carville's advice, Democrats.
I know you won't, but don't just stand there and do nothing. Check this out.
Chapter 3: What reforms are suggested to prevent fraud?
We are talking about performing... a basic anti-fraud review to ensure that people are not engaging in large-scale theft of federal taxpayer benefits. I mean, for example, we pay billions of dollars a year in child tax credit payments to illegal aliens. Billions, with a B. So these are systematic, programmatic reforms that we're talking about here.
Okay, I'm about to blow your minds with a segment. Ah, maybe a little dramatic. I don't want to be over the top and hyperbolic. I hate exaggeration for effect. However, this is a segment that has fascinated me forever because I'm going to prove to you that cutting government criminal fraud, waste, garbage, junk payments, overspending,
Chapter 4: How can reducing government waste win votes?
You know, missing account transactions, missing payment fields. This is so unbelievably popular that even people you think would support excessive government spending, Democrats, no. There are liberals. Yes. Radical Democrats. Yes. There is a huge chunk of the Democrat Party. Let me I'm being too verbose. We can steal a bunch of Democrat votes if we win this argument. I know that sounds crazy.
And I promise I'm about to back up what I say with receipts. Opinions are bullshit. All that matters is receipts. I'm going to back it up for you right now. Donald Trump, if he continues with Elon.
and for four years cleans out this government mess and saves a couple trillion dollars over four years or more, he is going to steal a huge chunk of Democrat voters and could leave office one of the most popular presidents in modern times. Could. Okay, back it up. Big claims like that require what? That's right, folks in the chat. Big evidence. So here it is.
Chapter 5: Why did Bill Clinton leave office with high approval ratings?
You ever wonder why Bill Clinton, obviously a Democrat, left office at close to 60% approval? Ladies and gentlemen, Bill Clinton, there was actual biological evidence of him committing sex acts in the Oval Office. It's funny, but Bill Clinton, didn't he lose his law license? I mean, Bill Clinton is on video. You can play right now. I did not have sexual relations with that woman. And then what?
A year later, well, you know, had sexual. I'm sorry. Bill Clinton left office, look it up, with high 50s, low 60% approval. Do you have any idea how high that is? In a country that's basically 50-50? Meaning a lot of Republicans liked what Bill Clinton did, a good chunk of them, and a whole ton of Democrats did. How is that?
Bill Clinton, between Rose Law Firm, Whitewater, you know how many scandals him and Hillary had? HillaryCare blows up. Why did he leave office? I'm going to tell you why right now, and I'm going to put the numbers to back it up. Here is Bill Clinton in his own words, talking about how important it is to make government more efficient and cut the fat. Bill Clinton, the Democrat. Check this out.
Chapter 6: What measures did Bill Clinton take to cut government spending?
First, I am ordering a reduction of the federal bureaucracy by at least 100,000 positions over the next four years. At least 10% of these cuts must come from senior management. These cuts will make our government more efficient and more effective. The government is full of dedicated people whose hard work is being choked off by our own bureaucracy.
Second, I'm ordering each federal department and agency to reduce its administrative as opposed to its program costs by 12% over the next four years. With better planning and innovation, we can make better use of the money we already have. In many agencies, overhead is too high, red tape is too thick, and the day-to-day operations of the agencies have not been reexamined in a very long time.
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.
Pair that with our growing national debt and rising cost of living, we could have a really, really big problem. So what are you doing now to protect your family for the future?

Folks, this guy engaged in a sex act with an intern and lied about it under oath in the Oval Office, and he left office with 60% approval. Why? Why? Well... I'm going to attribute this to Bill Clinton's efforts. Let's be clear. Let's be absolutely clear so there's no misinterpretation.
Bill Clinton was a Democrat and will always spend like a Democrat. Newt Gingrich and the Republican Congress pushed him into some spending controls. But to be fair to history, Bill Clinton signed the budgets and it happened. We're not going to lie about stuff like the Democrats. The Democrats used to celebrate the mythical Clinton surplus, too.
Here is a Democrat congressman from Colorado, Michael Bennett. I say the mythical Clinton surplus because you've heard it a thousand times, right, that Bill Clinton ran a government surplus. I'll get to that in a second. But Democrats used to realize that people don't want governments going into piles of red ink. These are quick. Colorado Democrat, again, celebrating the Clinton surplus.
