Tucker Carlson Speaks Out About Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi

Tucker Carlson was asked at Turning Point USA what he thinks about Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi, and his answer was pretty much on point with my thoughts.

Dan is getting screwed.

He also says Pam is a nice person and he likes Pam Bondi, but she seems completely in over her head with this job — or compromised in some way.

As usual, I think Tucker is spot on.

FULL TRANSCRIPT:

Well, as we’re recording this, Dan Bongino is threatening to resign if Pam Bondi does not resign as AG. What does that tell us, in your opinion?

Well, it tells us that Dan Bongino got shafted, completely shafted. And I’m saying this as a friend of his and someone who respects and likes him, but also just as an observer, an informed observer of it. Pam Bondi, who’s—by the way, I don’t hate Pam Bondi.

She’s a totally nice person. If she was here, you would enjoy. In fact, I don’t know if you know her, but she’s a very nice person. I’m not against Pam Bondi in the slightest. But the fact is, she got on television, on Fox News, and started saying stuff like, “I’ve got the client list on my desk!” And actually, no, you don’t. And, “I’ve got thousands of videos of Epstein having sex with kids.” Well, actually, no, you don’t. Most of the material was commercial porn taken off his computer. Like, that’s just not true.

Why did she say that? Probably ’cause she’s insecure and she’s trying to please the audience, I would expect.

Do you think Dan is upset because his integrity is being questioned now over her mistakes?

Of course! Oh, my gosh. So you’re Dan and you’re a media figure, and you’ve got one of the biggest podcasts in the country and you’re making tons of money and you’re having a great time, which he was. You just built this brand-new studio in Florida.

You work with your wife, who you really like what she does. And you get the call saying you’ll be deputy FBI director, and you’re like, “I love Donald Trump. I love this country. I will, you know, cut my pay by, you know, into a tenth of what it was, and I will leave my house and move to DC,” which is a kind of prison sentence itself. “And I will do this because I love the president, I love the country.”

And you’re there a few months, and all of a sudden everybody thinks you’re covering up Epstein’s crimes.

And it kind of wrecks Dan’s career. Like, he can’t go b—Yeah. It’s gonna be very hard at this point—I mean, things may change—but as of today, pretty hard for Dan to go back to his podcast audience and be like, “I’m telling you the truth,” when they all think that he’s covering up for Epstein.

Who did that? Pam Bondi did that. And I don’t know that she did it on purpose.

I’m assuming not. I don’t think she’s a mean person. I’ve never gotten that sense. But for whatever reason, she went out there and said things that were not true, that she could not back up. And then they issued this memo thinking that it would clear everything up. That was embarrassing.

And I guess they’re just so dumb, they didn’t realize that if you tell everybody you have the tapes of these crimes and then you issue a memo saying you’re not gonna prosecute anybody for the crimes, what are you saying?

“I’m covering up for the perpetrators of these crimes.” Duh.

They have no one with an IQ over 80 over there to read the memos? Are you kidding? You know, I’m not exactly sure how that happened, but I do know that it leaves a guy like Dan in a horrible position.

Yeah. And he loves Trump. And I don’t think Trump had any knowledge of any of this, uh, in, at the detail level. And so he doesn’t—I mean, what do you do if you’re Dan Bongino?

I just really—I feel for, feel for him.

What is Trump gonna do?

I don’t know. I do think that they’re going to—I think they know that they have to do something. Um, I think it’s absolutely fair to ask, to what extent was Epstein involved in a foreign intelligence operation on our soil?

This is our country. This country doesn’t belong to any foreign country. Okay?

This is our country. I was born here. I pay taxes here.

So if some foreign country—I don’t care if you claim it’s our ally or not—is running an intel operation on my soil, I have a right to know what that was.

And don’t make me feel like I’m some kinda Nazi for asking. I’m an American. I have an absolute right to know that.

And they’re clearly—that is what is being covered up, ’cause it makes everyone so uncomfortable.
