Dan Bongino made his anticipated return to his podcast on Monday, and shared what the relaunched show won’t be, as much as shared what’s in store.
To begin Monday’s first edition of the returned Dan Bongino Show, the former FBI Director said that he wouldn’t turn the podcast into a retrospective of his year working at the agency.
“I really did miss you all,” Bongino said. “It’s been a crazy year … Never tell people what you’re not going to do. But in this case, it matters. This is not going to be a year or two of me presenting my resume about what happened every single week (at the FBI). It’s not. One of the cardinal rules of leadership and leadership positions is ‘Don’t over-explain yourself.'”
He continued by noting that he would spend much of Monday’s show discussing his thoughts about his time working at the FBI and why he would speak on it today, but not frequently in the future.
“I did what I did. I’m going to show you what I did in today’s show. If you’re a supporter and you like it, you like it. So there’s no need for me to lay out Tolstoy’s War and Peace and keep speaking about it. If you don’t and you hate my guts, it’s not that I’m going to tell you to convince you. So it doesn’t really matter. However, you are the taxpayer, I worked for you. It was the honor of a lifetime to work for you, and this President, and with Kash Patel, who’s an amazing FBI director. So I feel an obligation to tell you what your money paid for.”
During his first show back, Dan Bongino welcomed President Donald Trump as a guest.
