What is the theme of Bongino's Christmas special?
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.
What is the problem with social media and privacy?
Hope you're all getting ready for Christmas. Tomorrow's that magical day. I still have some young children. So for me, it's always special. We've got a producer's picks show lined up for you today. You're going to love it. Get to my first spot here. The problem with social media and other so-called free services out there is that they aren't really free, are they? You pay for them by letting these huge tech companies record your activity and sell it to advertisers. If you don't want to be the product that's bought and sold, you need to start protecting your privacy online. That's what I do. I use ExpressVPN to do it. Your internet service provider can see every website you visit. Then third-party data brokers can track your activity through your IP address to build up an enormously detailed profile of you. But because I use ExpressVPN, 100% of my online activity is rerouted through secure encrypted servers. It means my ISP has no record of my activity and has nothing to sell.
ExpressVPN also hides my IP address, which means data brokers can't track me with it and can't assemble a profile. I partnered with ExpressVPN because I want all of my viewers to have access to this important privacy protection, which is why right now you can get an extra three months free when you go to expressvpn.com slash Bongino. That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S expressvpn.com slash Bongino to get an extra three months totally free now. for some of the most electric producer-selected clips of the year. Check this out. Folks, this was hilarious. Everybody was emailing me last night. Hey, Dan, did you see this clip on CNN? Tapper and Van Jones were talking about cutesy time. I swear to you, I thought it was bullshit.
I thought people were messing with me. I'm like, they wouldn't be talking about cutesy time being over. What the hell would CNN be interested in cutesy time for? The clip, however, is real. Took me a few minutes to find it. I'm usually pretty good, lickety-split, but I don't actually have CNN on my bingo card, so it took me a second. I got my spots for Fox and OANN and even MSNBC.
What did CNN say about Dan Bongino?
But let me just say in advance before I play this clip. It's about me and potentially the Secret Service. You know the whole story. I've already addressed it. I've not spoken to President Trump about that at all, folks, at all. It's come up on podcast interviews. Of course, he's got a thousand things on his plate. I'm just going to leave that there. However... You know, the president asks you do something. He has not. I just want to be crystal clear on that. This is really important because everybody's talking about this like this is some kind of like, especially the way CNN's addressing it. So I haven't heard anything like this. However, I want to say in advance, I'm not mad at all. And I'm not even remotely bitter about Van Jones and Tapper, you know, talking about me and kind of quietly taking a shot at me. You know, they barely mentioned the fact that I had a decade plus in the Secret Service, five years in the Presidential Protection Division, was with the NYPD, was a Republican nominee for Senate and House.
What is the significance of 'cutesy time'?
Not that you got to like kiss my ass, but it's always like the right wing personalities. If the only thing I've ever done is politics in my life. whatever. I'm not mad about it. These guys are, you know, opinion people and they talk about the news and the stories in the news. So I'm fair game like anyone else. And I, in the scope of things, this really wasn't that bad. I mean, it was like they were taking a heavy duty pot shots, but it is kind of funny. Cutesy time is over. It's gone national. Well, it was on CNN. So I'm not national, but he checked this out. It's pretty funny.
CNN is reporting that right-wing media personality and former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, by the way, like years ago, we would have him on to talk about Secret Service issues on this show. He is being considered for Secret Service director. Here's to some of what he said on his podcast today on how he views the new administration.
