In a bombshell revelation that’s electrifying conservative circles, Dan Bongino—now serving as FBI Deputy Director—peeled back the curtain on a pivotal Oval Office huddle shortly after President Trump’s January 2025 inauguration, where the commander-in-chief summoned Bongino and FBI Director Kash Patel for a no-holds-barred strategy session on America’s urban war zones. With crime surging under the prior administration’s soft-on-crime debacle, Trump didn’t mince words or waste time on bureaucracy; he issued one crystal-clear command: “This is the untold story, behind the scenes…‘Go get em boys. Go get em.’ […] Tell me what we need to do to get these demon-savages off the street.” Bongino recounted the moment on his podcast and in viral clips, painting Trump as the decisive alpha who greenlit a full-throttle offensive against the gangs, drug lords, and repeat offenders turning cities like Chicago and San Francisco into no-go zones. No more handcuffs on law enforcement—this was a license to hunt, empowering the FBI to bypass the red tape that had hamstrung agents for years and unleashing a torrent of rapid-response operations that would make even the most jaded cop crack a smile.
The results? A seismic shift that’s rewriting the narrative on Trump’s second-term toughness. Under Bongino and Patel’s execution of the president’s directive, the FBI “water-ballooned across the country”—a Bongino-ism for swift, overwhelming strikes—racking up a staggering 28,000 violent crime arrests by mid-October 2025 alone, shattering the previous three-to-four-year FBI average of just 15-16K per annum. This isn’t hyperbole; independent reports corroborate an 8.2% plunge in national violent crime rates, with murders and assaults plummeting in targeted hotspots as task forces dismantled cartel networks and scooped up thousands of illegal gun traffickers. Bongino beamed with pride in his disclosure, crediting the surge to Trump’s unapologetic backing: “And we cleaned up, at the President’s direction.” From Baltimore’s back alleys to L.A.’s gang-infested blocks, the operation has already reclaimed neighborhoods, proving that when you cut the woke handcuffs and let badges do their job, predators scatter like roaches under a spotlight.
Bongino’s drop-the-mic closer nails why this feels like a restoration: “When you get a president, AG, deputy AG and FBI that lets the FBI do FBI work - look what happens!” It’s a stark rebuke to the Obama-Biden era’s politicized policing, where agents were bogged down by DEI mandates and sanctuary-city sabotage, allowing crime to fester unchecked. With Trump at the helm, Patel as the iron-fisted director, and Bongino as the street-smart enforcer, the trio has turbocharged federal-local partnerships, flooding high-crime precincts with resources and intel-sharing that locals credit for breathing fresh air back into terrorized communities. As Bongino warned, they’re “not even done with the year,” with expansions eyed for more Democrat strongholds— a promise that America’s streets won’t just be safer, but a testament to what happens when leaders prioritize citizens over criminals. This untold story isn’t just vindication; it’s the blueprint for a crime-free future.
