Chapter 2: What is the current status of Dan Bongino and Kash Patel at the FBI?

23.795 - 47.556 Vince Colonese

Hey, good morning. Great to have you with us on Vince. If you're watching us live at rumble.com slash Vince or listening on the podcast, always appreciate the best damn audience in all of media. Great to have you with us today. And the big item today, Dan Bongino has been at the FBI for just over a month now. Is it time to start panicking? Hell no. All the details coming up on Vince.

0

47.576 - 70.783 Vince Colonese

Can't wait to get into them. Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome to the Rumble Chat. Good morning, everyone. Nice to see everybody here, as always. Yes, I do want to unpack a lot of what's going on right now. A lot of online chatter. Everyone's always chattering online. And a lot of kind of chicken little horse crap going on about, oh, no, Dan has been turned. Dan is a bad guy now.

0

70.843 - 92.078 Vince Colonese

He's collapsed under pressure. Yeah, okay. We'll go through all of the details, everything we know and what we have to look forward to. The great Jim Verde, you know, producer Jim, who now produces the Vince show each day from 12 to 3 nationwide. Jim Verity weighed in on all of this this week and said, hey, everyone slow your roll. I've got something to say about all this.

0

92.118 - 110.306 Vince Colonese

I'll get to that in just a moment. It's going to be good. It's going to be very, very good. Before we get into the meat of the program today, I got to thank the sponsors who make it all possible. You know, the original promise of the Internet was to provide a virtual world of equals free from the dictates of government and business. We're far from that original promise, aren't we?

0

110.646 - 131.993 Vince Colonese

We've got big tech companies that aren't just advertising for other big businesses, but they're controlling the things that you see to try and control your mind and sway your vote. But there's a way to take back control, and that's with ExpressVPN. You see, every time you go online, your internet service provider is actually tracking and creating a profile based on everything you do.

132.665 - 156.464 Vince Colonese

data brokers then sell your profile to whomever is willing to pay for it advertisers and even government agencies but with expressvpn 100 of my online traffic travels through secure encrypted servers so nobody can watch what i do not even my internet provider expressvpn also hides your ip address that number that identifies you online expressvpn is very easy to use it just takes one click

156.904 - 191 Vince Colonese

and it works on all of your devices. Right now, you can get up to four months free if you go to expressvpn.com slash Vince. That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-P-N.com. That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-P-N.com slash Vince for an extra four months free. As always, great to have you with us today. If you are complaining about Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, I'm here with a simple message today. Very simple.

191.02 - 212.972 Vince Colonese

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'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?

Chapter 3: What major actions has the FBI taken under Kash Patel's leadership since February?

213.412 - 229.058 Vince Colonese

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 Kash Patel or a Dan Bongino,

0

229.904 - 251.395 Vince Colonese

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.

0

252.114 - 273.542 Vince Colonese

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 Kash Patel was sworn in as the FBI director? It was February 21st, February 21st.

0

273.562 - 302.189 Vince Colonese

So that puts us at just over two months now that he's been the director of the FBI as of today'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 what is the FBI doing?

0

302.209 - 321.204 Vince Colonese

What are they up to? How about this? How about I walk you very slowly and deliberatively through everything? And this is just this is just I 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 we've got a lot of things. One.

321.324 - 343.671 Vince Colonese

And here I'll just I'll I'll just put my notes up on screen for you. Take a look at this. Look at this. So here we go. A quick review of Cash's tenure already. February 21st, Cash 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.

344.372 - 364.627 Vince Colonese

By March 4th, 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 4th. By March 10th, Cash is turning over hundreds of pages of documents. Dan Bongino is not even there yet.

364.907 - 389.215 Vince Colonese

Cash is turning over hundreds of pages of documents to Congress, including on Merrick Garland's school board memo 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 10th, just days after Kash Patel was sworn into the FBI. The transparency initiative already underway.

389.695 - 411.329 Vince Colonese

And in fact, those documents are being turned over to people like Jim Jordan and Chuck Grassley in the Senate. So Kash has been doing that day after day after day. And then on March 10th, 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.

Chapter 4: What investigations and arrests have occurred recently at the FBI?

655.058 - 668.501 Vince Colonese

And in fact, it was at this hearing, at one of these hearings, where Congress was so thrilled by how quickly Kash Patel moved. He got the request during the hearing. He released it during the hearing.

0

671.59 - 698.25

got notice that the baseball shooting report discussed by um vice chairman kelly earlier today has been delivered to our skiff 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

0

698.926 - 724.452 Vince Colonese

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 going to 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.

0

724.672 - 737.254 Vince Colonese

And then on March 27th, 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.

0

737.494 - 761.036 Vince Colonese

By March 30th, the FBI picked up high-ranking Trenderagua 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, Kash Patel, last night, nine o'clock.

762.916 - 780.025 Vince Colonese

Along with Attorney General Bondi, tonight I confirmed that Jose Enrique Martinez Flores, an allegedly high-ranking member of Tren de 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.

781.064 - 803.231 Vince Colonese

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 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.

803.632 - 820.448 Vince Colonese

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 get a report that the first month of Kash Patel's tenure, and remember at this point, Dan Bongino has joined. He joined on March 17th.

820.828 - 847.847 Vince Colonese

In the first month of Kash's tenure, 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.

Chapter 5: How is the FBI addressing internal corruption and leaks?

874.248 - 896.743 Vince Colonese

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.

0

897.913 - 924.49 Vince Colonese

On April 9th, they intercept half a billion dollars in illegal narcotics. Look at this. So here's the number. Over a half billion dollars in drugs intercepted and offloaded. One of the most successful counter-narcotics 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.

0

926.505 - 954.531 Vince Colonese

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 pause again. This is on the accountability front. The Russian collusion hoaxer, Brian Otten, was suspended by the FBI on April 11th.

0

957.276 - 987.567 Vince Colonese

This is critical. Look here, Hans Manke with this. He talks about the New York Times and how they're covering all of this. But this guy, Brian Alton, 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 campaign.

0

987.808 - 1013.882 Vince Colonese

He concealed that Danchenko disavowed Steele. 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.

1014.643 - 1031.848 Vince Colonese

And 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.

1032.486 - 1055.724 Vince Colonese

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's stories.

1056.849 - 1082.75 Vince Colonese

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.

1082.81 - 1103.716 Vince Colonese

Let's hold on to that story. April 14th, the FBI arrests another Tesla terrorist who attacked a dealership and a GOP headquarters in New Mexico. By April 17th, 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 now over a week ago.

Chapter 6: What is the public and media reaction to the new FBI leadership?

1323.266 - 1353.551 Vince Colonese

That could last you a quarter century just waiting for you and your family. Go to preparewithvince.com to claim your kit, plus an extra 12 days of food for free, almost two weeks of bonus meals at no cost. Once again, that's preparewithvince.com to claim your kit, plus an extra 12 days of food free, preparewithvince.com. Yes, indeed. Okay. Let's see here. So we've got a lot going on.

0

1353.811 - 1377.069 Vince Colonese

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 Kash 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 a Jim Verity, a great post on the subject. Producer Jim.

0

1377.589 - 1399.334 Vince Colonese

Look, producer Jim's in a good position here because he's 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.

0

1399.374 - 1417.009 Vince Colonese

Dan, of course, taking over for the time slot 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.

0

1417.969 - 1439.254 Vince Colonese

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.

1439.835 - 1462.041 Vince Colonese

His integrity is sterling to me, which makes this also much easier to process what's actually happening right now. And Jim is writing about this today, until 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.

1462.561 - 1480.596 Vince Colonese

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 going to 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.

1481.337 - 1502.087 Vince Colonese

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 heavy lift. It's a big process. He goes on, then we had a week of practice before we went on the air.

1502.368 - 1514.933 Vince Colonese

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 what 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.

Chapter 7: How does producer Jim Verity defend Dan Bongino and Kash Patel's work?

1948.381 - 1960.485 Vince Colonese

Look no further than the way James Comey described what they did to General Flynn as he was the incoming national security advisor to the president of the United States back in 2017. Take a look.

0

1961.265 - 1965.986 Hayley Karania

You look at this White House now and it's hard to imagine two FBI agents ending up in the same room. How did that happen?

0

1967.047 - 1986.379 James Comey

I sent them. Laughter. Something I probably wouldn't have done or maybe gotten away with in a more organized investigation, a more organized administration, in the George W. Bush administration, for example, or the Obama administration. In both of those administrations, there was process.

0

1986.459 - 2003.15 James Comey

And so if the FBI wanted to send agents into the White House itself to interview a senior official, you would work through the White House Council and there'd be discussions and approvals and who would be there. And I thought it's early enough. Let's just send a couple guys over.

0

2005.371 - 2024.26 Vince Colonese

And so if you're the National Security Advisor, if you're Mike Flynn, what do you think FBI agents are coming over to talk to you about? Well, you're part of the same government. You both work for the same president. So you would assume that you're having a conversation with government officials, colleagues in the FBI. And instead, that was designed to be a setup.

2024.721 - 2049.473 Vince Colonese

And James Comey would sit on that stage and brag about what he did, brag about it. And so Mike Flynn's been through it. Mike Flynn knows how corrupt that agency is. And that guy is not, come on. If you're Mike Flynn, you're gonna hold punches on the FBI? Please, not in a million years. So there he is saying, look, Jim Verity's got this completely right. Now, in a moment, I've got,

2050.188 - 2073.833 Vince Colonese

Brand new information coming out from the United States Department of Justice. Some more details about what's actually going on at the FBI, what you can look forward to in the weeks and months ahead. Some good stuff. Hold tight for that. I'm looking forward to sharing this with you. That said, again, we got to thank our sponsors today because they make all this possible.

2073.873 - 2094.402 Vince Colonese

We can do this show because of them. And I'm so grateful that you do business with these guys. And that includes Blackout Coffee. Blackout Coffee is so good. I start my day with Blackout Coffee every single day. day. The owner, John, is a great American. I'm constantly texting with him and talking about his great coffee and our great country. And let me tell you what, John's the real deal.

2094.522 - 2113.054 Vince Colonese

He built Blackout Coffee from the ground up, refusing to compromise on quality or values. He made America first coffee. He really did. It's roasted fresh right here in the United States. There's no woke nonsense. It's just great, bold, strong coffee for people who actually get stuff done. And as you know, Blackout Coffee has been the official coffee of everybody here at Silverlock.

Chapter 8: What is General Mike Flynn's perspective on FBI reforms and leadership?

2589.818 - 2607.081 Vince Colonese

Bongino, I've known a lot of people who are terminally online. I've known a lot of people who stare at the internet all day long. How many Americans stare at their phones just all day long, lying in bed, staring at the phone? Get up in the middle of the night, staring at the phone. Get up in the morning, staring at the phone. Okay, that's perfectly fine. People do that.

0

2607.734 - 2627.647 Vince Colonese

I've never known someone who is more attuned to what's going on on the internet, online, on his text messages than Dan Bongino. You think Bongino missed this Jensen story that he was just like, oh, that was out of his purview. He wasn't focused on it at all. He had no idea. There's chatter going on about that. Oh, I didn't even know about that. Who is Jensen? I don't know. He knows who he is.

0

2629.368 - 2651.927 Vince Colonese

He knows what's happening on the internet. He knows the criticism that's inbound from some people who are doing it with good faith, others who are doing it with bad faith. And so when you see a message in the very same 24-hour window where this becomes a thing, and he says, when you see something happen and it looks like it's counterintuitive, I promise you it's not an accident.

0

2654.767 - 2682.565 Vince Colonese

So you tell me, what are you supposed to do with this information? Well, my view, you trust this guy. You trust this guy. And so, yeah, the bitching is ridiculous. It's completely ridiculous. And here's another piece that I think is worth our while. Mike Davis from the Article 3 Project. I love Mike Davis. He's a great American.

0

2683.825 - 2705.708 Vince Colonese

He's, I think by his own admission, too crazy to become the Attorney General of the United States. He's got a little too intense, a little too hard. Although, man, I would have loved to see Mike Davis as the Attorney General. I want you to check out what Mike Davis is saying right now. He just went on Bannon's War Room and he just came out of a meeting with the United States Department of Justice.

2706.609 - 2711.512 Vince Colonese

And he had, I think, something very important to share. This is cut one. Take a look at Mike Davis.

2712.295 - 2738.52 Mike Benz

Justice is definitely coming. Let me just assure the war room posse, justice is coming, and there's going to be accountability for this unprecedented Republican-ending welfare where the Biden Justice Department was politicized and weaponized. There's going to be accountability for a lot of these crimes. It takes time to build these crimes. Kash Patel is there. He's doing a hell of a good job.

2738.58 - 2748.046 Mike Benz

So is Dan Bongino. his deputy, justice is coming. So just because we don't see it publicly does not mean it's not happening. I know what's happening.

2751.449 - 2766.501 Vince Colonese

Mike, love Mike. So what's the message in that? Settle down, son. Settle down. Adults are now in charge. So you've got a situation where you had a very corrupt agency, very corrupt agency.
