Speaker B

Former FBI

Speaker A

deputy director and host of the Dan Bongino Show.

Speaker B

So you're now back in the private sector, Dan. Welcome back.

Speaker A

It's good to see you.

Speaker B

Did you ever think you would see civilians setting up checkpoints

Speaker A

in major metropolitan areas for ICE?

Speaker B

Yeah, man.

Speaker A

I mean, after the chop zone, this is like SOP for the, you know,

Speaker B

lunatic left.

Speaker A

But, you know, I'm watching this clip here sitting here

Speaker A

And, uh, it's like, who does PR for these people like the new Coke folks?

Speaker B

Like, who's

Speaker A

who says to them, hey, I've got a great idea.

Speaker B

Let's piss off a bunch of people going to work early in the morning when everyone's in a great mood, of course.

Speaker A

Pre-coffee or whatever it may be.

Speaker B

And let's stop them in a green vest and tell them we're running a plate checks for ICE folks who are getting rapists and murderers out of the city.

Speaker A

Just to make sure we keep them in here.

Speaker B

Like, who who's who's the moron who was like,

Speaker A

hey, it's not going to tick off veterans at all if we go and do an

Speaker B

Iwo Jima reenactment because we want rapists and murderers to stay.

Speaker A

Like, who did

Speaker B

folks, listen, I'm not here to give the left advice.

Speaker A

But fire these idiots and arrest them for political malpractice immediately.

Speaker B

You remind me of the people that were fighting for climate change that would just lie down and play dead in the middle of the freeway.

Speaker A

I mean, they're inches from getting their heads squished by a pickup truck.

Speaker B

Jesse, they got to bring what's her name, the the Greta lady in next.

Speaker A

The young girl, like bring her in, like that's the only, you know, in between flotillas

Speaker B

out there in Gaza, whatever, like bring her in and she's really popular too.

Speaker A

I mean,

Speaker B

what is going on with these people?

Speaker A

But, hey, listen, on a very serious note, though, I I I've played, uh,

Speaker B

I listened to you play that clip of President Trump.

Speaker A

You know, I was there very early on in March when this whole thing went down.

Speaker B

The president was totally transformative on this immigration issue.

Speaker A

He used Title 8 like no one had done it in American history before.

Speaker B

Quick, uh, quick story here.

Speaker A

We were it was me, Pam, Cash, and Todd, and we were meeting over in the JCC.

Speaker B

And they were like, listen, man, we're arresting a lot of these people in the country illegally.

Speaker A

We're trying to flip them, we're spending all this money on, you know, United States attorneys, proffer sessions, all this stuff.

Speaker B

And they come up later, they don't have anything.

Speaker A

Let's just give these people, I mean, again, I'm exaggerating a little bit, give them five minutes to flip.

Speaker B

Produce some information on a criminal enterprise.

Speaker A

If you don't,

Speaker B

get the fill in the blank out of the damn country.

Speaker A

The president was like,

Speaker B

I want them out.

Speaker A

Like, I am not wasting a year on a proffer session, feeding this guy in a US prison.

Speaker B

If he doesn't even belong in the damn country.

Speaker A

That you may say, well, that sounds pretty simple.

Speaker B

The president was the first one to think about that.

Speaker A

And that's why the crime rate is the lowest in US history.

Speaker B

Dan, they're not just feeding them. I mean, Gavin Newsom's giving illegal alien sex changes in prison.

Speaker A

I mean, this is it's just pouring money at these people.

Speaker B

Like it's like it's crazy.

Speaker A

Have you heard about this new move, Gnome's doing?

Speaker B

They're going to put every ICE agent gets a body cam.

Speaker A

I mean, I love that.

Speaker B

I'll bet they do too.

Speaker A

I made this argument on my show before I left to go over to the FBI.

Speaker B

That the body cam has been the, you know, the the best weapon for good cops out there.

Speaker A

And and you know, initially there's always a little bit of this, uh, you know, a big brother spying on me kind of thing with anyone.

Speaker B

You know, no one wants to be seen.

Speaker A

People don't like those mouse detectors in work.

Speaker B

Toggle the mouse, whatever.

Speaker A

However, this thing has saved a lot of good cops from.

Speaker B

I got friends up in New York in the NYPD still, they have that civilian complaint review board.

Speaker A

In the past, people used to say, he said this or he called me that.

Speaker B

Now you just go right to the video, boom, done, over.

Speaker A

It's more protection for the police than I think it is for the, uh, for the population.

Speaker B

So I'm

Speaker A

Yeah, I think it's a great move.

Speaker B

They walked right into that one.

Speaker A

Uh, that will light them up, uh, in in more ways than one.

Speaker B

Dan Bongino.

Speaker A

Uh, great to have you back.

Speaker B

Um, I'm sure you don't, um, miss the Epstein files or anything like that.

Speaker A

I'm sure you're glad you're talking about what you want to talk about.

Speaker B

It's a busy year, my man.

Speaker A

I'm sure.

Speaker B

It's a busy year.

Speaker A

Great to get back in on the action.

Speaker B

Good to see you as always.

Speaker A
