Bongino Responds To Obama Comments With Sharp Warning On Podcast
‘I Know Things Too’ — The FBI Insider’s Deadly Warning to the Obama Legacy
By Senior Investigative Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The 2026 Restoration has reached a boiling point, and the "Machine of Disruption" is finally meeting its match in the form of a man who has seen the belly of the beast from both sides. Dan Bongino—the former Secret Service agent turned media titan and recent FBI Co-Deputy Director—has issued a chilling, high-decibel warning to former President Barack Obama that has sent shockwaves through the corridors of power.
“I know things too, Mr. President, and so do you,” Bongino declared during a recent episode of his chart-topping podcast. The statement wasn't just rhetoric; it was a clinical shot across the bow, aimed directly at the heart of the previous era's institutional legacy.
I. THE COLBERT INCIDENT: OBAMA’S "INDEPENDENT" MIRAGE
The firestorm began when Barack Obama emerged from his relative seclusion to appear on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. In a performance characterized by his trademark polished delivery, Obama warned against the "politicization" of the justice system, suggesting that the current administration—the 47th President and FBI Director Kash Patel—were using the government to "go after their political enemies."
Obama emphasized that the White House should never direct the Attorney General on specific prosecutions, framing his own tenure as a period of saintly institutional independence. To the architects of the 2026 Renaissance, however, this was viewed as a "fundamentally unserious" attempt to rewrite history before the ultimate audit begins.
II. THE BONGINO REBUTTAL: AN FBI INSIDER’S AUDIT
Dan Bongino, who served as FBI Co-Deputy Director from March 2025 to January 2026, was having none of it. Having sat in the very offices where the nation’s most sensitive secrets are kept, Bongino linked Obama’s comments to the "Infrastructure of Deceit" that characterized the 2016 election interference investigations—commonly known as "Russiagate."
“I’m not letting you get away with this, no chance!” Bongino thundered. His tenure at the FBI was defined by a ruthless pursuit of transparency, a mission he shared with Director Kash Patel. Bongino has long claimed that the documents he reviewed during his year in the Bureau provide the "Smoking Gun" proof of government weaponization—evidence that the previous administration used the state’s massive power to reward friends and liquidate foes.
III. THE LEGACY OF "RUSSIAGATE" AND THE SHADOW OF 2016
During the 2026 Restoration, Bongino has become the primary voice for those demanding a full accounting of the 2016 interference. He argues that the materials he discovered during his time at the FBI shed a "clinical light" on how deep-state players bypassed constitutional guardrails to target the 47th President’s first term.
His relationship with the Obama family has undergone a dramatic transformation. Once a member of the Secret Service’s Presidential Protective Division—where he was once seen speaking positively of the family—Bongino has now emerged as their most dangerous critic. He is a man with the "Liquid Gold Intel" required to dismantle the carefully curated image of the previous era.
IV. SAFETY, SURVIVAL, AND THE PODCAST PROPHECY
The intensity of Bongino’s public statements has escalated alongside his personal concerns. He recently admitted to fearing for his safety if the radical DNC were to regain control of Congress, a sentiment that reflects the "Wartime Speed" at which the 2026 political cycle is moving.
When Bongino resigned in early 2026 to return to his family and his media career, President Donald Trump was quick to offer praise. The President suggested that Bongino would have a "greater impact" through his podcast platform than he could ever have within the bureaucratic confines of the FBI. By speaking directly to millions, Bongino is bypassing the "leakers and liars" of the mainstream media to deliver a final verdict on the weaponization of the state.
THE FINAL VERDICT: THE AUDIT IS JUST BEGINNING
As the 2026 Renaissance moves forward, the exchange between Bongino and Obama highlights the existential tension of the era. On one side stands a legacy elite desperate to protect their "norms"; on the other stands an FBI insider-turned-media-warrior ready to burn the script.
Bongino’s warning—“I know things too”—is a promise to the American people that the truth of the last decade is finally coming to light. Whether it’s through the release of long-buried documents or the relentless pressure of his daily broadcasts, the audit of the "Machine of Disruption" is far from over. In the 2026 Restoration, character is everything, and the truth is the ultimate weapon of the Victorious American future.
BREAKING NOW: 'National Emergency' Declared, Trump Called In
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Secretary of State Marco Rubio told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the United States has imposed a blockade preventing Iranian ships from transiting the Strait of Hormuz after Iran moved to restrict passage for other vessels.
Rubio stated that the measure has already cost Iran hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue. He said the decision followed Iran’s failure to reach an agreement on reopening the waterway to all shipping.
Rubio described the current talks with Iran as distinct from negotiations with other countries, noting that the Iranian decision-making process is slow and fragmented.
He said the regime has recently agreed to discuss aspects of its nuclear program that it had previously refused to address. At the same time, he indicated that U.S. patience is limited and that further progress is required on nuclear issues and the status of the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian state media reported that Tehran had suspended talks with the United States, citing Israeli strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon. President Trump stated on social media that negotiations between the two countries remain ongoing.
Rubio’s testimony did not directly address the Iranian media reports but emphasized that any agreement would need to include verifiable steps on Iran’s nuclear activities and the restoration of open passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
The blockade and the status of talks come as the United States continues to enforce export controls and sanctions related to Iran’s nuclear program and regional activities.
Administration officials have described the current approach as combining diplomatic engagement with measures to increase pressure on Tehran. Rubio’s remarks before the committee provided the most detailed public update on the status of the discussions in recent days.
The situation remains fluid, with both sides continuing to exchange messages through diplomatic channels. No timeline for further rounds of talks or specific next steps was announced during the hearing. Congressional committees are expected to continue monitoring developments related to Iran policy in the coming weeks.
Vote To Remove Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar From Congress Being Considered By Republican Congressman
In a closely divided 5-3 vote that fell one short of the required threshold, Minnesota House Republicans failed to secure a subpoena compelling U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar to testify and produce documents tied to the Feeding Our Future fraud scandal.
The outcome on May 5 marked the dramatic conclusion of months of mounting scrutiny over the congresswoman’s legislative actions and community outreach during the pandemic-era program at the center of one of the largest federal fraud investigations in recent Minnesota history. The House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee, operating under a bipartisan agreement that demands six votes to authorize a subpoena, saw every Republican member support the measure while all three Democrats opposed it.
Committee Chair Kristin Robbins (R-Maple Grove) argued that the subpoena had become the only remaining tool after Omar repeatedly declined invitations to appear and failed to respond to formal document requests.
“We have reached out to Representative Ilhan Omar on multiple occasions, inviting her to testify and inviting and requesting documents,” Robbins said ahead of the vote. “The only tool left for us as a committee if we want to get these documents is to issue a subpoena.”
Republicans on the panel have focused on Omar’s sponsorship of the federal MEALS Act, enacted in March 2020. They contend the legislation loosened critical oversight requirements in federal child nutrition programs and helped create the conditions that enabled large-scale fraud.
“Representative Omar had some role, whether inadvertent or not,” Robbins said. “She passed the MEALS Act in March of 2020, and that took the guardrails off the federal school nutrition program which created the conditions for Feeding Our Future.”
The Feeding Our Future scandal stands as one of Minnesota’s most significant public corruption cases in recent decades. Federal prosecutors allege that organizers and associates diverted hundreds of millions of dollars intended to feed low-income children through fabricated meal claims, shell nonprofit organizations, and fraudulent reimbursement requests. Dozens of individuals have been charged, including nonprofit founder Aimee Bock and multiple business operators connected to Minnesota’s Somali community.
Committee Republicans specifically sought communications between Omar’s office and several individuals named in the federal investigation, along with records related to her public promotion of Safari Restaurant in Minneapolis, a business later linked to the scandal. Robbins also referenced a Somali-language television appearance in which Omar highlighted the restaurant as a meal distribution site during the pandemic.
“We thought it’d be very helpful to understand from Rep. Omar’s perspective how she thought the MEALS Act impacted the community, why she brought it, what communication she had with the fraudsters,” Robbins said during the hearing.
Democrats on the committee strongly opposed the effort, accusing Republicans of politicizing the investigation and targeting Omar for partisan advantage. Dave Pinto, the committee’s lead Democrat, questioned both the timing and practical purpose of pursuing a subpoena with only days remaining in the legislative session.
“Even if Omar were to testify or information is received, I do not see the committee doing anything with that information,” Pinto argued.
Pinto further referenced broader concerns about investigations involving political opponents under the current federal administration.
“We know the president and federal administration have got no hesitation going after political enemies and investigating them in all sorts of ways,” he said during the hearing.
The failed vote effectively prevents the Minnesota House committee from compelling Omar’s testimony or documents before the legislative session ends later this month. Nevertheless, Robbins signaled that Republicans are exploring alternative avenues to continue the pursuit.
“They’re fading,” Robbins said. “But I’ll certainly talk to our friends in Congress to see if they would be willing to issue a subpoena.”
Robbins noted that federal authorities retain “a whole menu of legal options” because Omar is a sitting member of Congress. The controversy unfolds amid broader Republican efforts at both state and national levels to highlight waste, fraud, and inadequate oversight in federal spending programs enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
