Welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino.
Chapter 2: What was discussed on CNN about cutesy time?
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. 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. 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.

Chapter 3: How did Dan Bongino respond to CNN?
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.
Cutesy time is over, and we led the way. And a lot of people are recognizing that, folks. Cutesy time is over. I'll say again today, on Wednesday, people are policy, and it is time for us, because we are the news, to double down on the MAGA agenda.
Chapter 4: What does cutesy time mean for the political landscape?
Van, you're going to have to stop being so adorable, because cutesy time is over. No, but seriously, in all sincerity, that does reflect an attitude of so many of these picks, which is it's time to really, really shake up Washington. And a lot of people think, a lot of Trump supporters think, that he went with establishment picks last time. That was a horrible idea.
He wasn't able to really drain the swamp. And now that's what they're doing.
You have to believe a lot of things that are not true. for this to make sense. What is the problem you're trying to solve with our intelligence services? We get a chance to walk around here and not have bombs blowing up all over the place because our intelligence services are doing a fantastic job keeping us safe. If you think that sending a wrecking ball through our
More in a minute, but first.
Chapter 5: What issues are affecting the intelligence community?
For those of us holding our breath for the past several months, we can exhale. Work can finally be done on the major issues this country's facing. One of the most significant are crushing national debt. The fact is our nation's deep in the red. That debt's a house of cards that can't quickly be dismantled. So the strategy remains the same. Diversify your savings.
That's why I buy gold from Birch Gold. So many things are out of our control, out of our president's control. It's important to have a safe haven for your savings.

I'm fair game like anyone else.
But so are you guys, right? Jake, Van, you guys are in the public space, so you're fair game too. I get the chance to respond. So what's the problem, Van, we're trying to solve? I should say we, I'm not in the administration. I have not been asked, but assume I was. Say I was the Secret Service director, sitting there with Ratcliffe and Tulsi and hopefully Kash Patel at FBI.
The problem we're trying to solve, you completely... right over your head, missed. I love how he says, did you guys hear this, Michael? He goes, you know, the intelligence community out there and all these other people. By the way, Secret Service isn't part of the intelligence community. They consume intelligence. They don't produce it.
However, they do consume a lot of intelligence because they want to make sure they can get the threat right, right? We are not completely safe. There's a major war in the Middle East that broke out because our intelligence community missed a 9-11 style attack in Israel. There have been terror attacks where people have been on the FBI's radar and they missed it. Why?
Because the FBI has been too busy. This is what the CNN bubble looks like. You may have missed these stories, Van. Did you miss the story about the FBI and the Moms for Liberty, the FBI and the pro-life movement? These are threats to the United States. Grandma's in the gulag for a trespassing charge on January 6th. This is the security threat that's going to keep us here. Go get grandma.
Go get her. Did you miss all this? I didn't even get to the serious stuff. Did you miss the FBI spying on Donald Trump? Van, I'll give you a little homework. Look up the name Azra Turk. Go look that up. You can read about it in the books I wrote about it if you want. Go get it from the library. Here, thank you, guys. I didn't even ask him to throw this at me. Just the news.
Justice Department investigated the conservatives' Moms for Liberty in the same manner as the Ku Klux Klan. Again, did you guys miss all this? Why is Trump taking a wrecking ball to the status quo? Because the status quo has failed. There's a thing called opportunity cost, Van.

Chapter 6: Why is cutesy time over according to Dan Bongino?
I just want to say again, we have not spoken about this. This story, like yesterday on CNN, a whole bunch of reporters are reaching out for me for comment. Why isn't he responding? Because there's nothing to respond about. What do you want me to respond and say, I don't know what you're talking about? By the way, I don't really speak to reporters anyway about that kind of stuff, politics.
I don't talk to reporters, especially left-wing ones. Conservative ones... There you go. Cutesy time is over. Could someone send a shirt to Jake? Store.Bongino.com. Our proceeds go to charity, so don't worry. It's not like some money-making thing we're doing for us. Store.Bongino.com. Somebody mail Jake and send Van a cutesy time is over, probably extra small. Send them over. Cutesy time is over.
Maybe they'll pin one up in their office. We have all sizes in stock. Someone make a donation over to CNN. I saw that last night. Again, I'm not mad at these guys. I'm part of the news. I'm fair game. I don't have a thick skin, but I do realize that being in the business, when you're part of the news, you're part of the news. You don't want to be part of the news?
Stop being a wuss and don't be a public figure, okay? End the story. Go do something else. And I like doing what I'm doing, so it's part of the business. Dear liberals, we are always right. What is two thumbs and is always correct along with his little Bogino army, which isn't so little anymore? This guy, by the way, thank you for making us, according to Triton's Ranker in October,
I can't believe it. The number three podcast in the United States. Never saw that coming. Thank you, guys. Love the Bongino Army. You guys kick ass and take names. Absolutely adore you guys. We are always right. Why is our army not so little anymore and growing? Because it's fact-based, the show. We've told the libs. We warned them a thousand times.
Your fascination with identity politics and division is going to catch up with you. Why? Do you remember in the chat? Folks in the chat, do you remember? Oh, there we go. Back up. Look at him. He got 125 too. Nice. All right. We're fully back up. Thank you, Chris, for fending off another massive attack. These guys are so good. Boom. Boom. Done. Just like that.
We told you a long time ago that the cannibalism theory was going to take over. The cannibalism theory in the left, for those who are new to the show, is this. Conservatives, the MAGA crowd, libertarians, and Tea Party people started giving liberals the double-barreled middle finger with cancel culture a long time ago. They just pound right through it. Don't say masks don't work.
What do MAGA people do? They go to Twitter the next day and in all caps they put, now masks definitely don't work. We don't care. So eventually they've had to dial back because they know they're wasting their time. But there's power for them in canceling people, okay?
So when they can't cancel conservatives and MAGA people because we just don't listen, we flip them off, they were going to turn on themselves. And this is what's happening with identity politics with the left. If you happen to be black, right? You've been told by the media forever, right? The left, man, they're looking out for your interests against those horrible Republicans.

Chapter 7: What does Dan Bongino believe about Trump's strategy?
Mainstream media, academia, entertainment, even Taylor Swift, and you got your asses kicked because your issues suck. You definitely got to keep up more of this, dude. Did you guys see this clip? Tell me when I sent this over you guys weren't in love right away. I never put clips like this in the beginning of the show, never. This one's right in the beginning.
You see this lunatic, Jasmine Crockett? She's a member of Congress, obviously a Democrat. This one, I'm not sure about her psychological status. I'm really not. Here she is. She's a member of Congress, paid probably close to, if not more than $200,000 a year. She has lobbyists kissing her ass every day. She will never, ever be middle class for the rest of her life. Lobbyists will pay her.
She'll be given speeches, okay? She is living in the lifestyle. She is a one percenter, okay? Here she is complaining about being oppressed and, again, blaming the white man, which is by its very definition racist. She's categorizing a group of people according to their race without knowing any of them and basically saying, look at you guys, you guys... Here's Jasmine Crockett.
Please keep this stuff up. This identity politics is such a winner for you guys on the left. I want to fund the pack. Check this out.
You can then misuse words like oppression. There has been no oppression for the white man in this country. You tell me which white men were dragged out of their homes. You tell me which one of them got dragged all the way across an ocean and told that you are going to go at work. We are going to steal your wives. We are going to rape your wives. That didn't happen. That is oppression.
We didn't ask to be here. We're not the same migrants that y'all constantly come up against. We didn't run away from home. We were stolen. So, yeah, we are going to sit here and be offended when you want to sit here and act like and don't let it escape you.
That it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us people of color on this side of the aisle that y'all are the ones being oppressed, that y'all are the ones that are being harmed.
Folks, please. Can someone someone and folks in the chat? I'm glad to see everyone's back. Good. Yeah, right. Right. Rock'em, sock'em robots. I just saw it in the chat. Can someone in the chat get like Jasmine crack it pack and just like by the URL dot com? We need this woman in leadership on the left. We need to make sure that this woman is a potential presidential candidate in the future.
Lefties, please keep this up. Jasmine, I suggest you and Tim Miller get together over coffee at a Starbucks, have a macchiato or whatever. It's kind of a left-wing place. You guys would be great together. Get together the agenda for the Democrats' midterm platform. Make it about following women and men into bathrooms when you're the opposite sex. It's a great idea.
