Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is set to re-enter the broadcasting arena with a new program, premiering next month on Rumble. The announcement came via a post on Monday, detailing the show's launch on February 2nd. Bongino, who officially left the FBI on January 4th, has acted swiftly to return to media, drawing public interest to both his departure and subsequent career move.
The upcoming show will be broadcasted live on weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EST and promises to offer Washington insights and exclusive details from Bongino's tenure in government service. The platform hosting the show, Silverloch, aims to perpetuate the Bongino brand, which has been synonymous with conservative values and principles.
Dan Bongino's career has spanned various roles in law enforcement and security, including his time as a New York Police Department officer and his service in the U.S. Secret Service. He rose to national prominence through his broadcasting endeavors with programs like “The Bongino Show” and appearances on Fox News' “Unfiltered with Dan Bongino.” His voice has become a significant one in conservative circles, shaping the discourse with his commentary and insights.
The new show’s format is reported to accentuate a message of hope and resilience within the conservative movement. This narrative underscores Bongino's intention to actively engage and influence the direction of conservative discussions in America. The program will follow “The Vince Coglianese Show” on Rumble’s schedule, with Coglianese, Daily Caller's editorial director, broadcasting at 8:00 a.m. EST.
Amid his transition back to media, Bongino has faced criticism from some quarters, as evidenced by a social media post from Five Times August, which juxtaposed his new media endeavor against his law enforcement accomplishments. Bongino has been vocal in addressing detractors and has reiterated his commitment to conservative ideology and the preservation of "eternal truths."
In a tweet on January 5, Bongino defended his role in the conservative movement, stating, "I helped build this movement and I sure as hell am not going to let it get hijacked by a group of black-pillers, life-losers, grifters and bums. We are a movement guided by truth." He also added, "The essence of conservative ideology is the preservation of eternal truths. We are not the ‘latest thing’ group. We are not political cannibals."
President Donald Trump acknowledged Bongino's departure from the FBI during a press interaction on December 17, lauding Bongino's performance. "Dan did a great job," said President Trump, indicating that Bongino was planning to resume his previous broadcasting activities.
As Bongino prepares to reengage with his audience, the anticipation for his new show is palpable among his followers and within the wider conservative community. His return to broadcasting marks another chapter in his career, one that is likely to have a notable impact on the media landscape and conservative discourse.
