Dan Bongino Claims His Show Is Under Attack After Streaming Issues

Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino expressed on Monday during his debut episode of “The Dan Bongino Show” on Rumble that both his show and the platform are facing significant challenges following technical difficulties.

During his first live stream, Bongino’s show experienced immediate glitches before eventually crashing entirely. When he attempted to stream again, he apologized, suggesting that certain individuals want to silence him.

Bongino stated, “Okay, guys. I’m sorry, but as you can probably imagine, a lot of people are interested in keeping me off the air. So if you hear us, please let us know. The Rumble is under attack, and the show is rightly under attack. This is what these scumbags do. They can’t speak up like I do. I expected this to a certain extent, so I’m grateful that you all stuck with us.”

He went on to say, “This is obviously a live show and we had a good impression that this was going to happen. They just don’t want me to talk about it. They’re so afraid of this show coming back that they would do anything to stop us.”

Bongino announced his resignation from the FBI in a post on X on December 17, just before the bureau formally confirmed it on January 4.

His show is set to emphasize insights from Washington, insider details from his time with the FBI, and messages aimed at bolstering the conservative movement.

On January 12, he discussed on The Vince Show his reaction to a document that inspired a viral posts he shared in July, expressing that he was “shocked to the core” and would “never be the same.”

Reflecting on his insights, he said, “I was just reading a book about Crossfire. And…I was shocked. I was living in a small apartment in Washington, D.C….and I’m sitting there thinking, ‘I can’t believe this happened here.’ I thought, oh, this guardrail was broken because of humans. Humans are guardrails, not robots…it blew my mind. The decision-making was incredibly poor.”

Bongino indicated that he would likely explore the issues surrounding the document on his show, “within reason.”

As of now, Rumble has not responded to inquiries regarding the situation.
