Great to have you with us today. If you are complaining about Cash Patel and Dan Bungie and I'm here with a simple message today, very simple. See if you can write this down. Grab a pencil. Stop your bitching. Stop it. You're ridiculous. You're absolutely ridiculous. Think about the world that we are in right now. The world. If you've been. If you're the kind of person who's watched Dan Bongino for years or anybody else who's taken the abuses at the FBI seriously, what is the indictment of that agency? Well, it's filled with rank corruption and people who are working against the American people and who are trying to stop justice from prevailing. So imagine if you're a Cash Patel or a Dan Bongino and you arrive at this place, a place with 40,000 employees, many of whom have it out for the American people and are perfectly comfortable living in this world of the deep state where they're not responsive to the voters and have been for years. In other words, you've got a massive mess to untangle. A massive, massive mess. And it would be a catastrophic mistake if you just started Kool Aid manning through every wall and thinking you were going to solve everything immediately. Let me just remind you of the timeline here. Let me remind you of the timeline. Do you know when Cash Patel was sworn in as the FBI director? It was February 21st. February 21st. So that puts us at just over two months now that he's been the director of the FBI. As of today, it's April 24th. Meanwhile, you had Dan Bongino arrive on the 17th of March, meaning we're just over one month that that man has been in that role. And during this time, let me just emphasize what the FBI has been doing, because there's been a lot of this bitching and moaning. What is the FBI doing? What are they up? How about this. How about I walk you very slowly and deliberately through everything? And this is just. This is just. I just did some basic research on this. We've been covering these things as they happen. But I'm just trying to pull all these strings together for you right now to take a look because. So we've got a lot of things. 1. And here I'll just put my notes up on screen for you. Take a look at this. Look at this. So here we go. Quick review of Cash's tenure already. February 21st, Kash Patel is sworn into the FBI. Cash Patel is sworn in on that day. Within one week's time, the FBI had arrested a cartel drug lord who had killed a DEA agent. They had him extradited from Mexico. By March 4, the FBI had taken the Abbey Gate terrorist into custody. You remember that big stop at Dulles Airport in the Washington D.C. area in Virginia. They get this Abbey Gate terrorist and the FBI is taking him into custody by March 4. By March 10, cash is turning over hundreds of pages of documents. Dan Bonginero's not even there yet. Cash is turning over hundreds of pages of documents to Congress, including on Merrick Garland's school board member attacking parents and treating them as terrorists and the January 6th pipe bomber. This is information that is being turned over to Congress by March 10, just days after Kash Patel was sworn into the FBI. The Transparency Initiative already underway and in fact, those documents are being turned over to people like Jim Jordan and Chuck Grassley in the Senate. So Cash has been doing that day after day after day. And then on March 10, the FBI is launching investigations into internal leakers and saboteurs inside of their own agency. This is the post from Jerry Dunleavy at the time. Scoop. The FBI has launched an internal investigation into dishonest leakers who pushed false information to the media and undermined the FBI's mission. Probe could include phone seizures, polygraphs, criminal referrals. The FBI also canceled its Wall Street Journal subscription. Hilarious. That was a part of the cost saving initiatives of the United States government going on. Okay, and then what happened? Well, then the FBI captured. By March 20, the FBI had captured three of the most wanted terrorists, most wanted criminals on the planet, on the top 10 list. And that was by March 20th. That was. Well, that wasn't very long into Kash Patel's tenure at all. They're capturing all of these guys, huh? Okay, well, that's something. Imagine if you and your buddies were told, hey, go track down one of these guys. How would that go exactly? The FBI catching three of the top 10 most wanted since President Trump's inauguration by March 20, and then also on March 20. And this. Let me pause on this one, cuz this is on the accountability front that I wanna talk about with you. A left wing FBI agent was charged for attempting to both steal and sell FBI secrets. Now, we talked about this at the time. We were one of the few media outlets that even talked about at all, a few spaces broadcast that talked about it. But here you have a former agent, an FBI agent, who stands accused by this Cash Patel led FBI of disclosing secret FBI records and then charging him. An FBI agent who publicly accused the agency of pro Trump bias. This is a left wing dude. Pro Trump bias. Come on, please. He's been arrested and charged with disclosing confidential records after authorities say that he included those sensitive materials about investigations and informants into a draft of his memoir. In other words, he was looking to sell your secrets, the government's secrets, in order to enrich himself. His name is Jonathan Bouma. He claimed in 2023 that the FBI went after Joe Biden's son Hunter while stifling his own investigation of President Trump's ally, Rudy Giuliani. He was arrested at Kennedy Airport in New York as he was about to board a flight out of the country. That was late March that this occurred, authorities said. So here you have a guy who was literally a part of that FBI who was. It's ridiculous. They weren't going after Hunter. They were facilitating a cover up of the Biden crime family. That's what was actually happening. And then, oh my. Investigation into Rudy was being stifled. If your investigation into Rudy was being stifled in the Biden era, that would be 2023. Well, then the reason for that is because it was so crappy, they couldn't hang their hat on it at all, which hasn't always stopped them in the past, as you well know. So there you go. So you got that agent arrested. And then on March 20, same day, it was a very busy March 20, the FBI seized 150 kilos of narcotics in Houston, which is a nice achievement. And this was just a massive, massive quantity of drugs that these guys are picking up. I'll take that win any day of the week to get these drugs off the street again, that is just now March 20th. That means it's less than a month into Cash Patel being sworn into office. What else happening? March 24, the FBI launches a task force to go after these Tesla terror attacks all across the country. March 26, the FBI arrests 22 members of an entire narcotics ring in Texas connected to the cartels. That same day, March 26, the FBI instantly released, upon congressional request, long delayed documents from a 2017 congressional baseball shooting. Remember that? Grievously wounded Steve Scalise. And in fact, it was at this hearing, at one of these hearings where Congress was so thrilled by how quickly Cash Patel moved. He got the request during the hearing, he released it during the hearing. Just got notice that the baseball shooting report discussed by Vice Chairman Kelly earlier today has been delivered to our scif. And I appreciate Director Patel, your responsiveness to that issue. Thank you so much for your commitment and the appropriate transparency demonstrated in that. We appreciate that very much. So that request was made and then delivered in under two hours. In under two hours. Let me just again emphasize the ruthless efficiency here and the utter radical transparency here going on that has not been going on at that FBI under the left's control. So again, if you're gonna judge these guys, why don't we start with the basics of how much work they're actually putting in on our behalf? Okay? So they instantly released that information. And then on March 27, the next day, the FBI arrested an Ms. 13 gang leader in Virginia. As a part of their task force in Virginia to stop all of these gangsters, the FBI arrested a Tesla terrorist in Nevada that very same day. By March 30, the FBI picked up high ranking Trend Nicaragua members. And that guy, specifically in the last 24 hours, was just hit for the first time with terrorism charges administered by the United States Department of Justice. Here is the update as it was Posted by the FBI Director Cash Patel last night, 9:00, along with Attorney General Bondi. Tonight I confirmed that Jose Enrique Martinez Flores, an allegedly high ranking member of Trend Aragua that was arrested by the FBI that was back in March, had his indictment unsealed today. The Justice Department is now officially charging him with support of a terrorist organization as well as drug trafficking with Attorney General Bondi's leadership. These charges are a major step in breaking the operations of violent terrorist gangs and rooting them out of American communities. The FBI is letting good cops be cops. This is the result. So that's, that's the update there. So they make the arrest. They unsealed the indictment last night, and now you're finding out now they're charging these guys as terrorists and appropriately so. That's what the President asked for and that's what we're all getting. That's what we're all getting. Then April 2nd, we got a report that the first month of Cash Patel's tenure, and remember at this point, Dan Bongino has joined. He joined on March 17 in the first month of Cash's tender. Now, with Dan in the seat for just about a week and a half, they saw an explosion in FBI applications to join the Bureau. The FBI was flooded with a record number of new agent applications. They saw nearly 6,000 new agent applications in March alone and more than 10,000 since January. That's when President Trump was inaugurated. This is meaningful. This means that we can clean out the rot and bring in new fresh blood that isn't corrupted by this, but instead is driven by duty, driven by the Trump administration being in place, driven by a belief that the FBI that they'd like to join is gonna be a lot better than the one that they didn't join in the past. So that number as well stands out again. Are you tired of this? Are the receipts too much? Is this too much? Should I skip this? Should we just not do the receipts here? I do think it's probably worthwhile to get your bearings on what the hell is going on. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and then the FBI starts arresting Ms. 13 gang leaders in New York on April 2nd. On April 4th, the FBI is arresting more Ms. 13 gangsters on murder charges in Florida. On April 9th, they, they intercept half a billion dollars in illegal narcotics. This is, look at this. So here's the number. Over a half billion dollars in drugs intercepted and offloaded. One of the most successful counternarcotics efforts in American history. Massive, massive quantities of drugs that are not going to be killing Americans now as a result of all of this. Then on April 10th, the FBI declassified and released, which we've gone over, we've gone over the details of this 700 pages of crossfire Hurricane documents. Those are the Trump Russia collusion hoax documents that he released April 11th. The Russia. Now we got, now we pause again. This is on the accountability front. The Russian collusion hoaxer, Brian Otten was suspended by the FBI on April 11th. This is critical. Look here, Hans, Hans Mackey with this. They talk about the New York Times, he talks about the New York Times and how they're covering all of this. But this guy Brian Otten vetted the Carter Page warrant. In other words, he allowed an American veteran, a Trump campaign member, to be spied upon illegally. He co drafted the fraudulent intelligence community assessment about the Trump administration, about the Trump campaign. He concealed that Danchenko disavowed steel. In other words, Steele's sources were Garbage and the government knew it. He concealed Danchenko's existence and he was a central player in the framing of General Mike Flynn. This is one to watch. I'm telling you right now. This guy, Brian Otten, watch his name, keep it in your mind as they go on, because this is a key and central figure as you're watching for. Okay, what does accountability look like? Well, this guy was already suspended now by the FBI. What comes next for this guy Brian Otten? And Otten did. I mean, this guy was involved in everything. If you look at Otten's involvement, my buddy Chuck Ross, one of the greatest reporters out there, he's over at the Washington Free Beacon. He's written about this guy for years. He says Brian Otten is the FBI analyst behind the decade's biggest political disinformation campaigns. He pushed both the Trump Russia collusion hoax and is also accused of trying to discredit Hunter Biden stories. The same guy who was working for years at doing this. It's been public. Cash and Dan know who he is. Cash wrote about him in his book Government Gangsters. They know who this guy is. They have suspended him. And what comes next, we'll see. We'll see. But this is worth dwelling on again. I wanted to pause on that guy because that one strikes me as the kind of thing that you should dog ear. Let's hold onto that story. April 14th. The FBI arrests another Tesla terrorist who attacked the dealership and a GOP headquarters in New Mexico. By April 17, the FBI is releasing data on all of the immigration arrests that they've undertaken this year. How many? 6,000 plus arrests by April 17th. That was, that was now over a week ago. And those arrests, if the FBI is getting involved, we're talking about dangerous illegal aliens, dangerous criminals that the FBI is taking off of our streets. 310 of them are Trende Aragua gangsters who have now been yanked off the streets of the United States of America to be deported or already deported. 136 of them have been Ms. 13. The FBI also went on to arrest the next day a Molotov cocktail throwing. Tesla terrorist Dan Bongino led an effort to double the efforts to go after all of the swatting terrorists who are attacking conservatives. And by the way, ask those conservatives who've been swatted whether or not they've heard from the FBI. The answer we're getting back, including from people like Sean Farish, is yeah, we're talking to these guys. We have a lot of communication. We're definitely communicating with these FBI guys as they conduct this investigation. That's good news. April 20 the New York Times revealed said that Cash Patel has reorganized the entire leadership of the bureau in order to streamline it, to make it more efficient, to decorrupt it, you know that. And pushed more agents away from headquarters and into the field to do the duty that the FBI is supposed to do. April 21st. The FBI is now reminding the public of a $5 million bounty to capture yet another Ms. 13 gangster. He is a Honduran kingpin leading Ms. 13 in Honduras. The FBI says we've got $5 million on that guy's head. Please deliver. Additionally, the FBI just arrested a foreign terrorist who's been leading attacks on police stations both in the United States and India. And then as of April 22, two days ago, FBI SWAT teams just rescued a two year old girl from abduction in New Mexico. Now let me, let me just be really clear. This is a not a comprehensive list. The things that I just read to you, that I just shared with you. This is not a comprehensive list by any means. This is just what I've been, this is the string I've been able to gather, the stuff that I'm seeing and all the stories we've been covering here on this program pulled together in a, in a, in a tight delivery. But this is the FBI. This is what's happening right now. And so where do we go from here? What comes next? Well, let in a moment what I want to do with you. It was, I want to take you through Jim Verdi's reaction to the criticism that's incoming at the moment to Cash Patel and Dan Bongino. This idea that somehow they're compromised, that they've been weakened, that is too much for them or that they've turned tail and they're working for the other team. It's also crazy and Jim points out how crazy it is. And I break that down and I've got some more information coming out including from what my sources are telling me, really looking forward to that. Before we get there, I do have to thank our sponsors today. Make this show possible. You know, you've seen it before. When disaster strikes, grocery store shelves can go empty overnight.

So we've got a lot going on and if you missed, if you're watching the live stream, just once again, just to remind you of how I started and I'll say it now, if you're ragging on Dan Bongino at this point or Cash Patel, I'm here to tell you, quit your bitching. How pathetic can you possibly be? Let me, let me see here. I've got Jim Verde, a great post on the subject. Producer Jim. Look, Producer Jim's in a good position here because he's known Dan for a very long time. He's worked with him very closely. I'm telling you, working with Jim, and this is just a radio industry thing. I'll tell you right up front, your producer on your radio show is someone you typically talk to more than your spouse. It's just the way it is. You're trying to produce a big great radio show. Dan, of course, taking over for the time slot from, from Rush Limbaugh with a lot of professionalism about the product he creates, working each and every day, day in, day out, every possible hour with your producer. It's just the nature of the relationship. You get to know the guy and you get to really know who each other are and how you tick. And in an industry with like phony people, you can detect phoniness pretty quickly when you're working that closely together. Jim loves Dan Bongino and rightfully so. Dan's a thoroughly decent human being who genuinely means it. His credibility. There's not a second that's gone by throughout all of this where I've wondered about his credibility or something. His integrity is sterling to me, which makes this all so much easier to process, what's actually happening right now. And Jim is Writing about this today till last night in a really great way. I want to go through it with you here. Jim raised this point last night. He goes, you know, I've got to address the trashing of Cash and Dan. And then he stipulated the following. He says, I've not spoken to Dan since he left the show. I've only texted with him about things not at all related to work. So this is gonna take a minute, so bear with me. When we first started the radio show, we had two months to put everything together, the production elements, discussion of how it was going to work, putting the clock together, recording bumpers, et cetera. Let me just, let me pause to emphasize what Jim is describing is also what we've had to go through with this transition as I host the radio show now. And it is not an easy lift. Jim has put in a tremendous amount of work to make that happen. So it's a, it's a heavy lift. It's a big process. He goes on, then, we had a week of practice before we went on the air. When we hit the air, it took months of angst and tinkering and making changes before we finally hit our stride. And do you know, we didn't have, he says, a cabal of people lined up, working against our success, in fact, trashing us at every turn. That's something we didn't have to face. So then Dan decides to leave his highly successful multimillion dollar job while launching a new network to take a job in the government, giving up a lot of money, family time and freedom to try to do what he's talked about on the podcast and on the radio at a great risk to his reputation. If the status quo is to remain, who does that? I'll tell you who. A guy who has talked about a problem for years and wants to be involved in stopping it. So why have you seen no results? Well, I've seen no results. Cash has been there six weeks and Dan's been there for a month. Jim writes, ask yourself, if you took the job, what are the first things you're doing overseeing an organization with 38,000 people, with half to more of them determined to sabotage everything you do. You don't know who they are, you don't know what they're doing to sabotage you. You've got scores of investigations open, millions of documents, a lot of data to go through. You're getting emails, you're getting reports from so many people. You've got to decipher what's real, what's not, and you've had less than a month. Does this sound like the ideal situation to jump into after you've run your own businesses the way you've wanted because you were in charge and knew the people you worked with and if they were loyal to you or not? Do you want the agency run the way it was? Not paying attention to the rule of law, not having the evidence you need to prosecute someone, just doing it because it will feed the base red meat, only to blow up in your face within months, weeks or days? Let me pause on that for a moment. One of the things I've seen thrown around right now, and by the way, some of the. My advice to stop your bitching is for everybody who is bitching, but not everyone who's bitching is doing it in bad faith. The bitching that's going on, some of this is like genuinely good faith. It's like, hey, we just want to see good results here. Please. We really want to see it. And I don't know what's happening, and I'm so suspicious of our government. You know, those impulses are perfectly fine. You're allowed to have them. But this. This detail here that Jim is dwelling on about what is going on inside of the government right now and people who are working against you and doing it the right way, it's critical. And one of the. Again, one of the attacks I've seen directed at Cash and Dan are. Well, they were prosecuting January six people within days. They were crushing the lives of January six people within days. Yeah, because they were violating the law to do it. There was nothing natural or normal or correct or constitutional or lawful about the procedures they were undertaking. They were trampling every last thing that our society needs to hold us together. Justice has to be just. And the way the government was run before was unjust. So if the argument is, well, you should be unjust right now. No, that's preposterous. You and I both know, after years of staring at what was happening, that laws were violated and people need to be held accountable to the letter of the law. We're not making it up. We're not crushing lefties by inventing laws and saying that in some Soviet way that they ran afoul of something fake that we just invented. No, we're holding them accountable to the letter of the law. So the comparison is, frankly ridiculous. And Jim continues here. Does this sound like a recipe to have immediate action taken against individuals or entities just because you've been waiting for it? If you want to assume you should, this is what he Took the job for giving up everything he's had to give up. You're delusional. And you really don't want to see any real lasting change made. How can I be certain of this? Because I know him, says Jim. And I know the kind of person he is, and I know he's working to improve the agency, the government, and the country because he loves it. He's a real patriot. He wouldn't have taken the job unless he could affect some real change. Don't think he's not working every single day to do just that. And not for him, because he didn't need this. He's doing this for you. This job is so unenviable. There's not a single part of me who'd be like, you know what job would be really fun to do? FBI Deputy Director. That's insane. Nobody takes that job. It's not for the glory. Oh, I want that title. Deputy Director. It's preposterous. And we've seen the media attacking Dan here for needing security. You understand what's going on? The left wants to kill Dan Bongino. I don't know if I could be more clear about this. The left, just like with Trump, just like with Elon, they want to hurt him. And so the FBI, under Cash Patel, has decided, you know what Dan needs? We need to give him some protection. We need some FBI agents who could work as a security detail for him. You think Dan, who actually worked in a protective detail for much of his career, you think he really wants people hovering over him as he goes to the bathroom all day long, every day? Come on. It's so stupid. It's so completely stupid. Oh, he wants to live in the lap of luxury. He needs a massive security detail. How ridiculous. How completely ridiculous. So I love how the left, it starts with, the left wants to kill him, and then the FBI says maybe we should protect him. And then the left accuses him of wanting to live a luxurious lifestyle. They blame him for having a security detail. What a neat trick. What a neat trick. So there you go. So Jim says all this now if it's not enough to hear from Jim, and it should be, because Jim's a great man and with a sterling reputation, that's well deserved. Let me add another person to this list. So General Mike Flynn has weighed in on this subject today, and he is expressing his enthusiastic support for what Jim is writing here. And General Mike Flynn is a guy who by now, you know, was among other than a guy like President Trump, was among the most victimized human beings by this corrupt system in our country. And he reacted to Jim last night, late last night, saying this, this is an important message. I agree. The two FBI Director Cash Patel and FBI Director Deputy Director Dan Bongino. They have their hands full. And if there's anybody who can state emphatically that the FBI is a complete nutter mess, it is yours truly. Meaning, General Flynn. The Bureau requires massive reform if it is to remain the premier law enforcement organization in the world. We must give them more time to get the reforms and achieve the effects that they fully understand must be achieved. The most important element is rebuilding trust between the American people and the Bureau itself. Under decades of horrendous leaders, trust has disappeared. Give them time. They realize the pressure and the scrutiny they're under. I firmly believe positive results will be achieved under these two strong leaders. So General Flynn stepping in here to tell you, okay, you've gotta trust these guys. I trust these guys implicitly. So I'm perfectly happy with this. I'm telling you, there hasn't been a moment throughout any of this, I've been panicking about this. I don't know about you. My view has just been like, I'm just glad the guys I trust are in that agency. It's the kind of feeling that makes me think, okay, good. I can concentrate on other things right now because those guys are there. The steady hands are there. That's what we need. That's exactly what we need. And right now, just to once again emphasize, I think this is. Yeah, it's cut nine. Once again, emphasize the reputation that General Flynn has, the crap he's been through. Look no further than the way James Comey described what they did to General Flynn as he was the incoming National Security Adviser to the President of the United states back in 2017. Take a look.
