Last week, Kash Patel was confirmed as FBI director, and now Dan Bongino, a right-wing conspiracy theorist, has been appointed as his number two. Bongino has zero experience at the FBI, which is unprecedented for a deputy director. This position has access to sensitive operations, including surveillance and collaboration with allied intelligence agencies. Bongino is known for pushing conspiracy theories, spreading COVID disinformation, and denying Russian interference. He's likely to focus on political payback rather than priorities like stopping fentanyl traffickers, murderers, and violent criminals. As Bongino himself said, "I don't want to move on."

I worked closely with Cash Patel in the White House as Mike Pence's counterterrorism adviser. Cash is a delusional liar who misrepresented intelligence and operations, even putting Navy SEALs at risk during a mission in Nigeria. I had to verify his work to avoid misinforming Pence. Cash openly disdains national security professionals, particularly at the DOJ and FBI, and is capable of conducting partisan investigations. The prospect of him becoming FBI director is alarming for law enforcement personnel. Additionally, I worry about Pam Bondi's potential role as Attorney General and how that might support Cash. These developments pose a significant risk to Americans.

The speaker asserts that ADL, APAC, and UJA Federation are “literally arms of Mossad that operate with basically carte blanche.” They claim APAC is “the lobby that buys our congress,” ADL is “the legislative apparatus that tries to erode our civil liberties and our constitutionally protected rights to legislate protections for Jews and Jews alone,” and UJA Federation is “the fixer organization that funds and fixes and does basically all of the ops,” with “nine eleven” as a notable example. They reference early 2024, noting Kat Williams’ interview with Shannon Sharpe where Williams said “all lies will be exposed this year,” and anticipate developments around child trafficking and Hollywood controversies involving figures like P. Diddy, suggesting these issues would come to a head. They mention that when Trump announced, Lee Zeldin was described as being “funded by literally those same people, the AIG's, the Seth Clarman's, the Daniel Lobes, the fucking UJA Federations.” They name the third person as Elise Stefanik, claiming she is “literally founded by the same funded by the same people,” and that Stefanik is “on involved with National Endowment for Democracy,” which allegedly “melted half of West Hollywood with the fucking fires in collusion with Karen Bass and the former legislative director of APAC, Kenneth Wallach.” The fourth person named is Kristi Noem, described as having “passed antisemitism laws of within the borders of South Dakota.” The speaker then says, “we get Trump in office,” and mentions Kash Patel being nominated for FBI director. Patel is quoted as saying on some network that “we need to commit to protecting need Americans to wake up and prioritize truth,” and the speaker adds that “That is the last fucking thing that any of us want want to hear right.”

There's a lot of skepticism within the FBI regarding Dan Bongino's appointment, although some within the Bureau are supportive of Trump. Bongino had a falling out with Kyle Serf, a former FBI agent and podcaster close to Kash Patel. Patel's foundation had previously paid Serf. The disagreement stemmed from Bongino's acceptance of the premise that the Mar-a-Lago search was mishandled. Serf, examining the documents, argued it was standard procedure. Despite Bongino being instrumental in connecting Serf with Patel, they clashed over basic facts, particularly regarding the Mar-a-Lago search. Bongino's rhetoric and apparent disregard for facts, coupled with recent internal turmoil, isn't helping the FBI's current situation.

The FBI is creating a multi-agent bodyguard team for its number two, Dan Bongino. This has never happened before because previous deputy directors were career agents. Bongino is a former podcaster who criticized the FBI and has no experience working there. The FBI declined to comment on why Bongino needs a security detail. A notice sought field agents willing to work temporarily at headquarters protecting Bongino. Twenty-four/seven protection could require up to 20 agents, requiring temporary housing. Some question the need, given Bongino's Secret Service and NYPD background, which would allow him to carry an FBI weapon. It also contradicts the FBI director's desire to move agents from headquarters to the field. Bongino has not commented directly but stated he knew he couldn't fully explain some decisions due to legal and ethical constraints.

FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino discussed efforts to depoliticize the FBI, crush violent crime, defend the homeland, and ensure accountability. Patel stated the FBI was politicized by prior leadership, including Comey and McCabe, who allegedly lied to a federal court to rig a presidential election. He said the FBI is releasing Crossfire Hurricane documents to Congress unredacted. Bongino emphasized that the FBI is dealing with numerous high-priority issues daily, including drug and human trafficking. Patel noted the border was open for four years, leading to increased crime. They are rolling out Mexican street gang task forces and focusing on interstate systems for trafficking. Patel said there are two live prosecutions related to assassination attempts on President Trump. Regarding Jeffrey Epstein's death, both stated he committed suicide. Patel announced the FBI is leaving the Hoover Building due to safety concerns and is moving 1,500 employees from Washington to field offices. Patel stated Trump lawfully authorized the deployment of the National Guard on January 6. Bongino said the administration's approach to illegal immigration is cooperation or removal. Patel claimed over 300 known or suspected terrorists crossed into the country illegally last year, with 85% entering through the northern border.

Speaker 0 claims Kash Patel lacks the character and integrity to be FBI director, asserting his only qualification is a willingness to cross moral, ethical, and legal lines when others refused. They state Patel is a sycophant who will misuse the bureau's resources and weaponize it against political opponents instead of protecting public safety. Speaker 1 alleges Adam Schiff is the "worst criminal in congress in the last two hundred and fifty years" and met with a whistleblower, Charmela, while publicly denying knowledge of the situation. They claim Schiff led the impeachment trial of President Trump after manufacturing false accusations with Charmela. They assert Schiff lied to set up a presidential impeachment and should be investigated for his interactions with Charmela. They state Schiff, who manufactured evidence with Charmela, was the prosecutor in the case against Trump, which is a conflict of interest.

In March 2022, FBI Director Christopher Wray, who is known for his loyalty to the left, made efforts to pursue their political opponents.

So, Kash Patel was tragically confirmed as FBI director, and now Dan Bongino, a right-wing conspiracy theorist with zero FBI experience, has been appointed as his number two. This is alarming because the deputy director position requires someone with extensive experience, character, and trust, especially given their access to sensitive operations and collaboration with allied intelligence agencies. Bongino is known for pushing conspiracy theories, like the big lie about the 2020 election, and spreading COVID disinformation. Instead of focusing on critical issues like fentanyl trafficking and violent crime, he's likely to prioritize political vendettas. As Bongino himself said, he doesn't want to move on, which makes him completely unsuited to serve the American people's priorities.

Kash Patel is unfit to be FBI director due to his willingness to cross ethical and legal lines during the first Trump administration, demonstrating extreme sycophancy. He lacks the integrity and character necessary for the role, posing a danger to the public by potentially misusing the bureau's resources to target political opponents. Adam Schiff is a criminal who led the impeachment trial against President Trump after concealing his meetings with a whistleblower. Schiff lied about his interactions to set up a presidential impeachment based on manufactured information, creating a conflict of interest as he prosecuted the target of his own manufactured evidence. He thought his involvement would remain hidden, but reporting has exposed his actions.

The conversation centers on the Epstein file controversy, the DOJ's handling of it, and what the speakers see as systemic failures and political risk for Donald Trump and allied figures. - The Epstein/file issue is framed as predictable and frustrating. Alex Jones notes a “slow drip of nothing” and calls the initial promise of full file disclosure a pattern of “promise something, deliver nothing.” Pam Bondi’s statement that “the files were on my desk” is discussed as an apparent misstep or staged moment, but the core point is that large amounts of material are not being released despite public promises. - The discourse questions where the files actually reside and who controls access. The claim that a “truckload of files” existed and was hidden at DOJ is rejected as a mischaracterization; the speakers emphasize that the FBI and DOJ have files, but access and disclosure have been hampered by internal political dynamics. They highlight the tension between the Southern District of New York and the DOJ, noting that SDNY answers to the DOJ and the Attorney General, thereby questioning the premise that one regional office is independently sabotaging access. - There is a persistent critique of DOJ leadership and governance. The argument is that DOJ has not been “rooted out of corruption,” with mid-level and high-level managers and appointees still in place, propagating practices that the speakers deem contrary to transparency and accountability. They point to supposed failures by individuals such as Cash Patel and Pam Bondi in relying on FBI briefings rather than verifiable records, suggesting that power in intelligence agencies is still too dependent on information control. - The Epstein files are treated as emblematic of a broader issue: a two-tier or selective justice system. The speakers argue that there’s a pattern whereby powerful individuals have access to information and protection, while the public lacks full visibility. They mention that Trump’s response and the way the files have been handled have become a larger “Russiagate-like” narrative, with Epstein serving as a lightning rod for accusations of corruption and cover-up. - The political dynamic is central. Several participants emphasize that Trump’s stance and the responses of his allies are under intense scrutiny. They discuss the risk that Trump’s association with the Epstein disclosures could become a political liability if the files aren’t released. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tom Massey are mentioned as consistent voices pushing for full disclosure, while Roger Stone’s warnings about CIA and foreign involvement in the Epstein nexus are cited as supporting the view that a larger, international financial/transnational network may be implicated. - There is criticism of how the media and political opponents handle the issue. The speakers claim Democrats are using hearings to turn the Epstein matter into a broader political weapon and to portray Trump as obstructive or complicit, regardless of the factual state of file disclosure. They argue that the public is being led by a PR war, with “photoshopped” or redacted material used to frame narratives rather than to reveal truth. - The discussion turns toward accountability and remedies. The speakers insist that federal law requires the release of the Epstein files by a deadline, and that failing to comply constitutes a constitutional or institutional crisis. They argue that Congress lacks direct enforcement power and must consider funding or other leverage to compel compliance, noting the apparent reluctance of Congress to act decisively. - There are predictions about personnel changes and institutional reform. Dan Bongino is discussed as likely to depart from his DOJ-related role, with Todd Blanche as the lead prosecutor taking heat for not meeting deadlines. Andrew Bailey is floated as a potential replacement. The broader implication is that there will be a shake-up in DOJ and possibly FBI leadership in the near term, though the speakers acknowledge uncertainty about how far reforms will go or whether entrenched interests will impede real change. - The Epstein matter is used to illustrate how compromises and cover-ups operate across power structures. The speakers argue that the problem isn’t just the existence of the files but how the system treats those files—how access is controlled, how redactions are justified, and how political narratives are constructed around high-profile investigations. Harmony Dillon and Liz Harrington are cited as voices who underscore the need for mid-level reform and more transparency, suggesting that the deepest issues lie in organizational culture and incentives rather than in isolated acts by a few individuals. - A broader reflection on American governance finishes the discussion. The speakers warn that a failure to release the Epstein files or to purge corrupt practices could deepen distrust in federal institutions and threaten the legitimacy of the government. They suggest that if reform stalls, the country might devolve into a state-by-state dynamic or other less cohesive arrangements, as confidence in a functioning central government erodes. In summary, the transcript frames the Epstein file disclosures as a litmus test for DOJ integrity and political accountability. It portrays a pattern of delayed or selective disclosure, questions about who controls information within the FBI/DOJ, and a risk that political calculations are interfering with lawful obligations. It also foresees significant leadership changes and intensified scrutiny of the department in the near future, with Epstein serving as a focal point for broader critiques of how power and information are managed in the United States.

Kash Patel is unfit to be FBI director due to his lack of character and integrity. He is a sycophant who will misuse the bureau's resources and weaponize it against political opponents. Unlike others in the Trump administration, Patel crossed moral, ethical, and legal lines. Adam Schiff is a criminal who lied about his interactions with a whistleblower named Charmela to set up a presidential impeachment of Donald Trump. Schiff met with Charmela and then led the prosecution of Trump's impeachment trial in the Senate. Schiff was conflicted out of the game because he was part of the hoax. As the prosecutor in the case against Trump, that is the ultimate conflict of interest.

A recent memo from the acting FBI director, Brian Driscoll, revealed a list of FBI agents involved in the January 6th investigation, ordered by the deputy attorney general. This situation is unprecedented, as incoming administrations typically do not exert political control over the FBI. The memo indicates a potential purge of experienced agents, including those overseeing national security and criminal investigations, many of whom have been linked to cases that Donald Trump opposed. Additionally, political operatives have been placed in the FBI director's office, raising concerns about their influence on ongoing decisions. The implications of these changes could significantly impact the FBI's operations and integrity.

On JFK’s inauguration day, 48% of all State Department political-section employees were not actually State Department employees at all; they were CIA operatives under diplomatic cover. While parked at a US embassy, they did not answer within the State Department chain of command and acted as covert operatives for organized political warfare conducted by the CIA. Because they dominated the political section, they could set their own political policy for the country. If the State Department did not want to overthrow a regime but the CIA did, the CIA could use the embassy’s political-section bandwidth to contact dissident groups, run money to them, provide logistical support, connect them, and run a parallel operation without observing the White House National Security Council chain of command. The speaker gave examples where in some embassies 80% of the political affairs staff were CIA, not State Department at all. The speaker then notes Joe Biden’s CIA director as Bill Burns, describing Burns as a buddy of Jeffrey Epstein. It is asserted that in the 1990s Burns was the head of the political section for the US embassy in Russia, and that Burns “never worked a day at the CIA in his whole life before he’d be handed the reins to be the CIA director.” The speaker emphasizes that Burns was a State Department figure the whole time, serving as the head of the political affairs section, and questions where he was positioned “at state” when he was the head of the political affairs section.

Many fail to grasp the extent of corruption in institutions that Trump was elected to reform. It's wrong to label Dan Bongino, a former law enforcement and Secret Service agent who risked his life for this nation, as a far-right podcaster. The President trusts him for a vital role because he's an outsider to the Washington swamp. Such appointments make insiders nervous, as Bongino, Patel, and Bondi aim to end government weaponization and root out corruption in these agencies once and for all.

Moving forward with Kash Patel's nomination as FBI director will likely provoke significant backlash. Many believe he seeks to disrupt the institution, but he is profoundly unqualified for the role. His experience in federal government is limited to three years as a line attorney at DOJ headquarters, with no leadership or management experience. The idea of him leading an organization of 37,000 people, with operations across 400 locations and sensitive global roles, is unrealistic. It’s hard to imagine him commanding respect in a room full of police chiefs and sheriffs.

FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino reacted to a story about alleged Chinese interference in the 2020 election. According to declassified documents provided to Congress, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) may have attempted to help Joe Biden get elected by manufacturing fake driver's licenses to facilitate fraudulent mail-in ballots. Patel stated the allegations were substantiated but abruptly recalled and never disclosed to the public. Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe stated in 2021 that the People's Republic of China sought to influence the 2020 US federal elections. Patel and Bongino claim the prior FBI leadership under Chris Wray intentionally kept this evidence from the public. They stated that while it's not confirmed China swung the election, they tried, and the public should have been informed, especially since it was repeatedly claimed there was no foreign interference. Patel and Bongino are committing to making the evidence public.

Speaker 1, Julie Kelly, asserts that the new leadership at the DOJ and FBI may not be aware of who Jocelyn Ballantyne is, describing her as lead prosecutor who "led the team of government lawyers, DOJ lawyers, who went after the Proud Boys" and labeling her as "among the worst of the worst." Kelly references her experience covering the Proud Boys trial in 2023 and states that Ballantyne was near the top of Kelly’s list of j-six prosecutors who should be fired. Kelly recounts a scandal from the Proud Boys trial involving a spreadsheet of FBI correspondence in which agents discussed destroying evidence, surveilling, and eavesdropping on communications between Proud Boys who were in pretrial detention federal prison and their attorneys. She notes that the defense, during the trial, discovered this spreadsheet accidentally and intended to use the information as evidence. According to Kelly, the defense attempted to question an FBI agent who was a government witness and planned to present what they found in the spreadsheet. She describes that, as the defense began to present this evidence, Judge Tim Kelly—who, she says, is good friends with Jocelyn Ballantyne and had worked with her in the DC U.S. attorney’s office on cases—abruptly cut off the questioning. A day or two later, Ballantyne went into court and claimed that the communication represented classified secrets and should be withheld from the jury, a move Kelly characterizes as being aligned with Ballantyne’s actions. Kelly asserts that Judge Kelly went along with this claim to withhold the information. Kelly emphasizes that Ballantyne led the team of prosecutors against the Proud Boys, who were convicted of seditious conspiracy. She notes that Ballantyne then pursued severe sentences, including some defendants receiving life terms, such as Lindsay Attario, who Kelly says ended up with a twenty-two year prison sentence before those sentences were commuted by the president. Speaker 0 interjects multiple times with questions and expressions of disbelief, urging Julie Kelly to explain how such actions could be true and challenging the notion that Ballantyne’s conduct was inappropriate, while Kelly maintains that the described conduct and the actions taken by Ballantyne and the DOJ were part of the Proud Boys prosecutions and related cases.

Joe Biden, the DOJ, and FBI are accused of being the biggest threat to America by creating hate crime hoaxes. They are believed to want to keep us divided and are seen as the real white supremacists. Their actions are said to aim at destroying us.

Kash Patel is unqualified to be FBI director, having previously suggested shutting down FBI headquarters to open a museum for conspiracy theories. His rise reflects a troubling trend of rewarding sycophants. Regarding January 6 pardons, there’s deep concern about pardoning individuals who violently attacked police and tried to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. This contradicts the public's desire for action against crime, not political revenge. As for potential prosecutions of January 6 committee members, there's pride in their oversight work, making preemptive pardons unnecessary. Setting a precedent for blanket pardons at the end of an administration is also undesirable. This message has been communicated to President Biden both publicly and privately.

Kash Patel is set to lead the FBI and plans significant changes. First, all agents will return to wearing trench coats and carrying revolvers. Current plans to assassinate Donald Trump are canceled, and Melania's sundresses from the Mar-a-Lago raid must be returned. Agents will need written requests before grooming domestic terrorists, and the X-Files will be reopened. New applicants must weigh under 400 pounds, and the position for quadriplegic black lesbian representation is eliminated. All wiretaps at Mar-a-Lago will be removed, and agents are now required to arrest criminals. Lastly, all work retreats to Epstein Island are canceled. What changes do you hope to see at the FBI? Let us know in the comments.

Moving forward with Kash Patel's nomination as FBI director will likely provoke significant backlash. His qualifications for the role are questionable; he lacks the experience necessary to lead an organization of this magnitude. Patel has only three years of experience as a line attorney at the DOJ and has never managed or led any organization. The notion of him representing the FBI, which oversees 37,000 employees and works closely with the intelligence community, is unrealistic. It's hard to imagine him commanding respect in a room full of police chiefs and sheriffs.

Kash Patel is now the FBI director, a positive development. Dan Bongino will be the deputy director, assisting Patel. Bongino has highlighted abuses of the deep state and the FBI and has a storied law enforcement career, making him a near-perfect fit. He will run the FBI's day-to-day operations under Patel. The question is whether Patel can save the FBI, which has been corrupted. The FBI raided President Trump's home and gave the speaker a subpoena, which they claim is abusive. The FBI has been targeting the opposition to the deep state and the democratic left machine, subverting the rule of law and the constitutional republic. The issue is whether the FBI can be relied upon to uphold the rule of law and advance the public interest.
