There's no obligation, only information. Text Dan to the number 989898. Message and data rates apply. Dan Bongino. Welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino. Here's the bad news first about the inauguration. You're asking me, do I think the inauguration is safe? After yesterday's briefing, my answer is probably not. And it pains me to say that. Now, it's one of those things I'm speculating.
The inauguration, ladies and gentlemen, hasn't happened yet. I'm just afraid that the people in charge at the top of the Secret Service and certainly at the FBI do not know what they're doing. In case you're asking, by the way, about bona fides in this situation, you know what? I'd ask you guys to take that picture off the wall, but I don't know how heavy it is.
There is a picture on the wall right over there in the studio behind me of the Daily News. It is me at Barack Obama's inauguration where I... Is that too heavy? Look at Michael. Michael's like a big hockey dude. He's like seven feet tall. I wasn't sure. Here, thank you, Michael. Here. Okay. So here it is. You can see me in the corner right there. Is that me right there? No, the other side.
Sorry, everything's backwards. Okay. That's me with my right hand. So thank you, Michael. I appreciate it. So there's the bona fides. That was a cover of the New York Daily News. My shoulders hurt now. That thing weighs five pounds. It looked like it weighed 50. Of course, Michael manhandles it. I'm like, ah, proving my point that these are all show muscles that don't even work anymore.
It's all for show. You want to kick my ass? You probably could. But I was responsible for the section of the presidential inaugural route for Barack Obama's first inauguration. And I was specifically responsible for the most important section. Again, you're free to FOIA the Secret Service and ask about this stuff. The section, as you can see in the picture, it's very straight, very straight.
It's like this. The thing is like this. They're like, is this straight? We'll put it up later. Very yesky, totally straight right there. I was responsible for the section where Barack Obama was to get out of the car. So let me just say this.
I think if President Trump at this point, given the people in charge of the Secret Service at the top and their known incompetence, I think if President Trump were to stay in the car and forego the walk, I would be comfortable. I have not been briefed in on the security plan. I wish I was. I would like to review it myself because I've done it before and I want to see what they're looking at.
I know exactly what it's supposed to look like. Now, here's the bad news first, okay? I said I'd get to it. The FBI, who I don't trust as far as I could throw, the FBI, this is very short. This is a manager at the FBI, obviously responsible for a portion of the inaugural security. Here he is saying that they're not tracking any threats.
