Chapter 1: Who is Dan Bongino and what is the focus of this episode?
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.
Justin just committed a cardinal sin of the show. We have this thing you got to mute in my ear or else I hear feedback. So Michael's job in the checklist is to make sure it's muted. So we always joke it has to be an odd number. So Michael's like, is it triple muted? Because then it'd be muted, unmuted, and then muted again. Justin says it's quadruple muted. No, that means it's not muted.
It's like doing a 360 right back where you started. You got to do a 180. No, no, no. You've got to go back. I know you're wrapping up school, but you better go take a math class. Man, we've got a lot to talk about. The Dan Bongino deputy director appointment meltdown in the media continues, which is... Like nothing I've seen in a while. It is, I know you're all watching, so hello.
And they're confused as to, some of them, why I'm doing my show still. Why would you be confused? I have a job. The job has to wind down. This isn't anything. Would you prefer I just take the spot while I have contractual obligations elsewhere? Because I'm pretty sure that's a violation of government ethics rules.
The media response is incredible, and especially from some of the people who were on the wrong side of just about every major story. How they speak with such certainty about my character and what I've done, although I've never met most of these people, is bizarre. your political opinions are to absolutely be respected. Okay. Freedom of the press.
You do your thing, but it's incredible how much insight they claim to have into who I am, despite never having met me or having zero experience with me in a professional environment at all. None. But we'll cover that, and I will talk about the future of the show. I've got some real great news for you guys. I promised you we were going to leave you with something special, and I will.

Chapter 2: Why is Dan Bongino's appointment causing media backlash?
I can't believe I'm explaining this to media people. The government has very specific ethics rules, which I plan on complying with to the letter and is costing me a fortune to do it. Not a sob story, just a fact. You can't just sign up for the government while you're under contract. I cannot believe we have to explain this to people.
This is what, like, journalists, you would think they would understand, and they do. They just play dumb. I have to wind the show down. We can't just walk away tomorrow from business partners who we had contracts with and say, hey, see ya, and then to our audience, hey, thanks for the memory. See ya, Jack. That's not the way I work. Again, they're called ads.
Are you unaware of this business model? You know, I'll wrap this part of it up here, but how would you suggest we handle it again? That we go and swear in while we're under contract to a private entity. Then you would write the opposite article. Tamba Gito violates ethics rules and doesn't break his contract. You understand how these people work.
The show will continue as it always has until March 14th. Understanding fully, my job is to be a political opinion maker. My job after that is not to be a political opinion maker. It's to hold my political opinions to myself like I did my last job and do the nonpartisan important work of keeping the homeland safe. Again, I know you guys don't understand that.
My harshest of critics out there, how you can go into a job like this and put your politics aside. I do. I did it before under two Democratic administrations who I couldn't have disagreed with more politically. The guys put this together last night. The media reaction to my selection as deputy director of the FBI was, I don't know what to call it, hyperbolic, hysterical.
And I don't mean hysterical in a funny way. I mean hysterical like, is this for real? Is this even? It's so out there. Like, my gosh, we got a guy with political opinions in government? I know that never happens at all. Really? Really? Here is the MSNBC Morning Joe crew. This is, again, just indicative of what you're going to see over. And I want you to listen.
They all have the same exact talking points. It's not going to affect or impact my career choices in any way at all. I promise you. Check this out.
President Trump announced that former Fox News personality Dan Bongino will be second in command to lead the FBI. This is the latest a series of Trump's controversial picks for high-profile law enforcement roles. Trump named Bongino as deputy FBI director yesterday. To note, That job is traditionally held by a career FBI agent.
In fact, it's believed this is the first time a political appointee got that post. He is a former Secret Service agent and NYPD officer, though he has never served in the FBI. As a pro-Trump podcaster, he has advanced a number of baseless theories about the bureau he is set to lead. The appointment does not require Senate confirmation, but it's already receiving real backlash.
