Dan Bongino. Welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino. So Kamala Harris is going to start quickly because there's really not a lot to digest other than the key takeaway.

People who don't understand politics, and that's a lot of folks, and I get it. It's not their job to understand politics. Their job is to fly a plane, fix an HVAC system. I understand. My job is to understand politics. I have a useless job. People out there have real jobs. This is a useless job. It's hopefully useful for motivating people to vote, but I don't produce stuff with my hands. What real people do add in value, okay?

I get paid to break this stuff down. I'm telling you, snapshots and soundbites are all that matters. Most of America is working and busy. If they are not persuadable, they're going to see a 15-second soundbite and maybe a picture of Kamala Harris, and both of them suck. Here's what I mean. Here she is last night. She did her first – I didn't want to call it an interview. She did an interview with an obviously friendly –

opinion host who pretends to be a reporter who just got done saying Kamala Harris shouldn't have to say anything on the Bill Maher show that Trump is awful and Kamala doesn't have to say anything. We played the cut. Her name is Stephanie Rule from MSNBC. Is that why Kamala went there? Probably so.

This is a perfect example of the Kamala vacuum. She's asked a very serious question about the economy, and I want you to listen to the answer. How it's nothing but ridiculous focus group tested talking points that mean absolutely nothing. If there was even a shred of follow-up, she would have collapsed. Watch this. Spandex.

Expanding that child tax credit, or you mentioned housing before, giving that extra money for a first home. If you can't raise corporate taxes, or if GOP takes control of the Senate, where do you get the money to do that? Do you still go forward with those plans and borrow? Well, but we're going to have to raise corporate taxes, and we're going to have to raise...

We're going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share. That's just it. It's about paying their fair share. More in a minute, but first...

It's stunning that even the MSNBC host lets us go. What is the obvious follow-up to that question? Anybody know? You in the chat know. You're listening on Apple, Spotify. You know the answer.

What's the freaking fair share? This is all Democrats say. What is the fair share? Now, for those listening at home, this is a pop quiz. Why do you think Kamala Harris will never, ever, ever, listen to me, ever give a number on what successful people's fair share is? Why do you think? Anyone know? Any of you guys know?

Because if she gives the number like Al Sharpton did in that dreadful interview with John Stossel we used to play all the time on the show.

If you can find it, I should have put it in a gym. Put this in a radio show. This is what happens when you actually give a number. The rich, the successful, the people who work already pay the overwhelming amount of taxes in the United States. So this loser candidate, the worst candidate we have seen, and even worse than Biden, Kamala Harris, despite all

All of the media fluff. She is still collapsing in the polls. This woman sucks so bad she couldn't even be vice president. A job where she has nothing to do but show up and wait for something to happen to the president. That's it. She couldn't even do that. I'm going to play this for you in a second. Ladies and gentlemen, right now, the wealthiest 1%.

of taxpayers pay about 40% of the income tax load. One out of every hundred people pays 40 cents of every dollar in income taxes. What is the fair share of that in it? That's why this dipwad loser will never give you a number. She's a vacuum. And who pays corporate taxes? Corporations. Where do they get their money from? Liberal morons. Liberal imbeciles. Where do corporations get their money? Answer the question.

Stop being dumbasses. Answer the freaking question, you morons. Where do corporations get their money? Consumers? Consumers? Yeah, you dipshits. Corporations don't pay taxes. Corporations just pass the cost on to customers. Why are you liberals so stupid? Here's dumbass Al Sharpton, who made the mistake of actually answering this question because he was too stupid.

He answers the question. Watch John Stossel make an absolute buffoon out of him. This is one of my favorite clips of all time. Up there with Uri Bezunov. I can't play this enough. Watch this. That's a widespread belief. But do the politicians even know how much of the income tax burden the rich pay now? The top 1% in this country pays very much less than 10%. Very much less than 5%. So what's fair? The top 1% should pay 10%.

10% of America's income taxes? 20%? They should pay somewhere around 15%. They don't pay 5%. Anybody could see that as unequal and unfair. So they should pay 15%, he says. And the richest 1% now pay less than 10%. Then he said less than 5%.

But that's so silly because, and I bet most of you don't know this, the IRS says the richest 1% of taxpayers already pay 34%. Twice what Sharpton wanted them to pay. The Reverend barely reacted when I told him. They're already paying 34%. No, I think that if you deal with the quality of their lives... He quickly changed the subject. He never would admit how far off he was.

Folks, do you see why I wake up every morning and I absolutely cannot stand liberals? Everything they tell you is bullshit. Everything. You ask a strong conservative a simple question on taxes, who knows what they're talking about, they will give you a coherent answer. You want to ask me, hey Dan, what should the corporate tax rate be? I think it should be flat across the board. Corporate tax gains, income tax, it'll be flat.

Wow, that was hard. No, it wasn't! Because I'm not as stupid as Kamala Harris. Well, Dan, what do you base that on? Well, very simply, I base it on Hauser's Law. You can look it up yourself. H-A-U-S-E-R. Hauser's Law shows that over time, a healthy economy will generally only be willing to tolerate about 17-20% of its GDP and tax revenue. Pretty

Pretty simple equation. So if that's all it's willing to tolerate, I want to basically venture towards the low end, maybe 15, 17, see where we go and generate a flat tax across the board. So people don't move money around. You see how easy it is to answer questions when you're not a dumb ass liberal liberals. Why are you so stupid? The answer is because you choose to be stupid and you follow a candidate who says dumb things. I,

to pay that fair share. Stephanie Ruhle, who is the worst interviewer I have ever seen, she just had to ask one simple question, which no liberal opinion host like her, she's not a reporter, she's not a serious person. Stephanie Ruhle should have said, you're going to be the president of the United States potentially. What is the fair share? And how did you come up with that number? When is someone going to ask the mother question? When? Anyone? Is this a lot to ask?

sorry i didn't even plan on spending that much time on this because i wanted to get this january 6th thing and we will i promise it's coming up next but again we've got an election going on right now it's not coming early voting's already started the election's here right now there are people waving signs out in my neighborhood here's one more clip this is peak kamala harris right here the this is this is a genuinely low iq person it's

Sometimes we call people stupid because we're pissed off. This is a seriously low intelligence quotient person. She has no aptitude at all, and she has an awful social IQ, cackling, dopey stuff. This is her answer. She cannot...

She has no ability to articulate a vision. So what she does is she gets lost in buzzwords. So someone must have said to her the word holistically, and she was like, is that an SAT word? Watch her repeat it, I think, three times in 15 seconds because she can't think of anything else to say. This is your candidate. Check this out. ...assistance to state and local governments around transit dollars.

and looking holistically at the connection between that and housing, and looking holistically at the incentives we in the federal government can create for local and state governments to actually engage in planning in a holistic manner that includes prioritizing affordable housing.

Folks, this woman is a moron. And I'm sorry to all like the mainstream swampy Republicans. Don't call her a moron. She's a moron. And everybody needs to see it. She is. And you listen, you cannot. Here's the difference.

You can knock Trump all you want and say, well, I don't like his vocabulary and the words he uses. Fine. I can point to you a litany of business successes and some failures here and there, but at least experiences that would lead me to believe that this guy's got experience leading major corporations and leading the country. I can also point to a four-year record. Conservative justices, the Abraham Accords,

the tax cuts, GDP growth. I can point to some failures, the COVID stuff as well, but I can point to someone with a body of experience I can use as a metric. This moron can't do anything. She can't speak. She can't deal with a group of people. She can't even fake an accent. She's had like 100 different accents now. She goes from a Spanish accent to faking other accents. The woman is just a fraud. She is a total phony.

How can you vote for this woman? This woman should seriously lose 47 states. And I don't even know what the three are. California, Illinois, Hawaii. That's it. This is just an awful candidate.

We're going to holistically view the holistic holistications of the holistic. What are you talking about? A Venn diagram of vocabulary words you don't understand. And I may get on the school bus with the Venn diagram and holistically evaluate the electric vehicle mandate and how it affects the Venn diagram school bus. The woman is an idiot. She is going to destroy your life and your business. And she has a project 2025 too.

Taking your money, taking your kids, late-term abortion, taking away your guns, raiding your house, stealing your health care plan. It's right in front of you. Just listen to her own words.
