And U.S. Attorney is also a uniquely important role in D.C. because it also prosecutes sort of street crime and drugs and gun stuff, unlike other jurisdictions. And so I thought, oh, geez, I thought there was supposed to be this like we were going to take crime in D.C. really seriously. I thought that was part of the administration's job. But instead, we get him.
This is the guy who's posting the letters. People may have seen Elon. I heard that they're coming after Doge. You know, I'm working on the president's behalf. I think he described himself as Trump's lawyer in one case. And so it's kind of a clown show so far.
Yeah. I mean, this is the same prosecutor who sent the letter to, I believe Chuck Schumer and another member of Congress for saying, you know, say something like you got to bring a, don't bring a knife to a gunfight, like these kinds of like rhetorical gambits and saying, you know, were you threatening to kill someone? Yes, it was.
Well, I mean, you know, it's important to have your priorities straight. You know, get those referral codes out, all that kind of stuff. Yeah, I mean, Dan Bongino is a guy I became aware of just sort of like driving around D.C. and listening to the local talk radio. And this was like a local talk radio guy, I mean, 13 years ago, 14 years ago.
And he was a former Secret Service agent, and he would call in and say – you know, oh, Obama's a scumbag. And then he had this kind of failed run for the Senate in Maryland. And I thought that was the last we would hear of him. And then I said, oh, you got to talk radio show. And he filled the Rush Limbaugh time slot for a lot of people. And now he's going to be the FBI deputy director.
And as you said, I mean, this is traditionally sort of a grizzled old hand, sort of someone who's in a way sort of represents the line agents. And instead, we are getting a guy who's never been in the FBI, and obviously is most recently a podcaster.
You could pick up a couple tips. I mean, you're right. I mean, there is, you know, for those of us who consume this content, but don't share their politics. I think we can tell when there's a, you know, someone who is a gifted broadcasters entertaining or, or you kind of figure out what niche they're fitting into. Sure. Versus Dan Bongino.
And that's why I was surprised when a lot of stations picked him up to replace Limbaugh.
because i thought limbaugh was was a fun guy to listen to whereas i mean dan bongino's kind of there's kind of like a classic like replacement level talker type who's just like a mad guy kind of like mark levin and you listen to these guys and it's like this guy's just mad about it you know and like canady too where you know he's just giving you the talking points there's not like a lightness to it but i agree i i'm not a huge listener
It's sort of a community of, obviously, it's sort of the MAGA universe. It's a world that's not short on people who are mad. And so I think it's kind of funny when someone stands out for being mad. I mean, he sent my colleague at the post an email that was, you know, oh, you dipshit, all this stuff. So, you know, there are certain guys who are just like, I'm mad.
I mean, it kind of seems like Cash is going to be the next Attorney General, right? And he already runs the ATF. Yeah, right. I think it makes a little more sense because initially it was like, wow, it's a real reach for Cash to be the FBI director. But now you say, well, he's already been the FBI director. How far is Attorney General?
So I do think, Pam Bondi, I think you can tell that she's not as adept in this world of right-wing influencers.
all these people are from florida and so there was this claim that after the binders thing happened just briefly that that basically she gave them these binders to butter them up because she knows she has this deficit with you know these kind of fame ball types and you know what she's right because they threw her under the bus immediately
I don't know a ton about it, but it is sort of another, it's just like another like really weird thing.
Yeah, I mean, Gorka, as you said, at this point, it's like, oh, thank gosh, the adults are in the room. Right. Gorka's here. And that's how I felt, you know, amid everything else. I mean, Gorka is another, it's good to do him after Bongino because Gorka is like another like classic mad guy, but in kind of like a more gentlemanly way, an old world sensibility.
You know, obviously we know he has, in the last administration, there were all these questions about his ties to kind of like quasi-Nazi European groups and did he get a medal from one of them or what have you. But these days, you know, he too was in talk radio. I mean, it's a sign, I think, you know, we're talking about the second administration versus the first Trump administration.
of how things have changed that in the past, you know, five years or so, I think Gorka has kind of presented himself as like somewhat of a voice of reason. I mean, he had this like really long running feud with QAnon people where he was like, you're not cases and this kind of stuff. I mean, so it's still, I would say disturbing.
Yeah, I sent him a very nice email. I think maybe it was a story about his feud with QAnon, and I sent him an email. And then a few hours later, I was just sitting around, and he called me. And I'd never talked to him before, and he said...
it is will summer and i said yeah and he said stick your head in a bucket full of eels and i was just i was so shocked that i had to have him i said can you say that again like i need to get that quote down and he said stick your head in a bucket full of eels and i thought really nothing of it i said okay well that's a little weird and then he played it on his show and he played it as sort of like kind of a crank yanker situation where he sort of said i i had a clever little call so it's he's an unusual guy it's the counter-terrorism chief of america
Yeah, I mean, just just jumping off the 1789 thing. I mean, it is fascinating that we just have these situations and where, you know, people with connections to the administration or with the ability to sway the president are just sort of really have their pockets. They're saying, hey, you know, come on through if you want to butter up to me, you know, donate to my VC fund.
