.@dbongino just now on his podcast is getting a little emotional on leaving his lucrative shows behind to take the FBI deputy director post, says it's surreal and the honor of his lifetime.
"I'm not going to sit here as a commentator, talking head, whatever dopey title we have. I'm not going to sit here and tell you [to do things that] matter and then sit on my ass when an opportunity comes to do the right thing and not only talk about everything we wanted to change, but actually change it."
...I am going in this clear-eyed [in implementing] the
vision of President Trump, Attorney General Bondi, and Director Patel, I am going to do my job to implement that vision, and I can tell you right now, we are going to try our best -- I'm going to spend every single thing I have in me, every single strand of DNA cell in my body, is going to be dedicated towards keeping this homeland safe no matter what.
...We're going to re-establish faith in this institution, the good people there, doing their job, hitting the streets, developing sources. We'll have you back. We are going to re-Establish faith in this institution. The FBI belongs to the American people. Doesn't belong to me, doesn't belong to anyone else, but this is the honor of a lifetime, and it's a serious mission, and I plan on implementing that vision."
