Why the FBI Remains Broken Despite Trump, Patel & Bongino
Steve Friend returns to expose how the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism became the federal government’s playbook for targeting ordinary Americans. Nick Giordano and Friend break down the disturbing lack of reform inside the FBI, even with President Trump, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino now in charge. Has the unelected bureaucracy grown more powerful than the presidency? They revisit the post-9/11 surveillance state, connect it to today’s abuses, and reveal how trading liberty for the illusion of safety has placed the Republic in danger.
Episode Highlights:
- How the National Strategy weaponized the FBI against parents, Catholics, and political dissenters
- Why real FBI reform has stalled despite new leadership under Trump, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino
- The connection between post-9/11 security expansions and today’s domestic surveillance state
