In the most recent episode of the Dan Bongino Show, Bongino addressed several pressing issues, including concerns about a rumored surface-to-air missile threat targeting former President Donald Trump, as well as ongoing challenges faced by his campaign. Bongino opened with a teaser about a major announcement to come, promising to share more details on his next show.
Surface-to-Air Missile Threat
A large portion of the podcast was dedicated to discussing claims circulating online about surface-to-air missiles being smuggled into the U.S., with suggestions they might be aimed at Trump’s aircraft. Bongino noted that while such a threat is real, it is incredibly difficult—but not impossible—to smuggle such weapons into the U.S. He emphasized that while these threats have been around for a long time, it remains crucial for the Secret Service and military to take them seriously.
Secret Service Criticism
Bongino expressed concerns about the Secret Service’s preparedness in protecting high-profile political figures, including Donald Trump, as well as dealing with the logistics of providing security during major events like the United Nations General Assembly. He argued that the agency is understaffed and has been slow to adopt new technologies, posing serious risks for those they are meant to protect. He referenced ongoing shortcomings in managing high-tech security measures, such as drone usage, which he believes should be addressed immediately.
The State of the U.S. Economy and Patriotism
Aside from security issues, Bongino also discussed the struggles facing the U.S. economy, inflation, and ongoing political tensions. He promoted Patriot Mobile, a Christian conservative mobile provider, as part of his push for American companies that align with conservative values. Bongino encouraged listeners to support businesses that prioritize freedom, life, and respect for military personnel and first responders.
Political Observations
Bongino expressed concerns about the ability of the Biden administration, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris, to lead effectively. He criticized Harris’s capabilities and questioned her stance on key issues, including her purported ownership of firearms despite previously supporting stricter gun control measures. Bongino also criticized Biden’s delegation of significant responsibilities to Harris, which he believes is detrimental to the current administration’s success.
As the show wrapped up, Bongino hinted at further discussion about the U.S. political climate and teased an upcoming event that he says will be unlike anything he’s done before. He urged listeners to stay tuned for more information in the coming days.
This episode reflects Bongino’s continuing critique of the Biden administration, concern over national security, and promotion of conservative values, drawing significant attention from his audience.
