Well, hi, everybody. Welcome to Hot Mike. I'm your co-host, Bill Whittle.

Hot Mike isn't here today. It's going to just take a quick second here. Most people probably don't know this, but Hot Mike is passionate about several things in life. One of the things he's most passionate about is spats. He's like Jerry Seinfeld, who won't wear the same pair of sneakers twice.

Hot Mike has to wear new spats all

the time. He said he tried ordering on Amazon, but they're nothing but cheap Chinese plastic knockoff.

So Hot Mike went to the one place where they make really excellent silk spats in that Savannah.

So he cashed in his life savings, about 722 pairs of brand new spats made out of silk, flew back to

Los Angeles, and he's currently at LAX in holding

because he doesn't have enough money to pay for President Trump's new spats tariff

that he imposed on Cuba.

So we expect to see him back hopefully by next week, as soon as we can raise the money.

In any event, just a quick show today to endorse Dan Bojino for deputy administrator

of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I've just wanted many voices chipping in on this subject.

I wouldn't say I'm a friend of Dan's or anything. Strangely enough, I've never been on Dan's show,

but Dan's been on my show. Back when I was doing the Hot Mic show for NRA TV

back in 2016, he was a regular guest calling in. He's one of the few commentators on the

conservative side that I actually spend some time watching. So I would just like to explain why I think

Dan Bongino is going to succeed on three different levels and how those three levels apply not only to Dan,

but to all of the rest of the people that Donald Trump

has brought into his Trump 2.0 government.

Dan Bongino, of course, is a true believer,

and I'll get to that in a minute.

But so is Pete Hegzith, and so is Cash Patel,
