The FBI has had enough.
Right now, with the State of the Union having just concluded, they are making sure that Donald Trump is exposed.
They are making sure that Cash Patel is exposed, and they are making sure that this entire despicable regime is exposed. I believe there's a lot of FBI whistleblowers right now who are also working with Democrats on the House Oversight Committee to expose the Trump regime's cover up of the Epstein files, their cover up of the child sex trafficking ring. It's why we're seeing a lot of headlines like this right now. Just look at the front page of Drudge. It is not coincidental that this is taking place right as the state of the Union was happening. Paper bombshell. Epstein secret files in storage units across the USA. Tiktok, Donald, the DOJ scrubs Trump from evidence. 53 missing pages from an accuser of Donald Trump who was alleging or is alleging that when she was a minor, she was sexually assaulted by Donald Trump. The Dems are launching a probe of all of this, and we're hearing from Democratic Congress members like Garcia that they are in contact with whistleblowers from the FBI who are giving them a lot of important information as well. Now, I want to highlight a few additional facts here. We're also hearing from FBI FBI leaks regarding Cash Patel's despicable behavior.
So they're leaking against Donald Trump and Bondi. They're leaking against Cash Patel. There was two back-to-back stories on this. So number one, Cash Patel flights. One of the things that we are hearing about is agents with the FBI's Elite Evidence Response Team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown University. Remember when that took place in December December because there was no FBI plane available? Cash Patel was in South Florida, living it up at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets. Here's what Senator Dick Durban has said, whistleblowers within the FBI have revealed. Also in the immediate aftermath of the murder of Charlie Kirk, the FBI's shooting reconstruction team was asked to fly to Utah to aid the investigation and process the scene However, the team's deployment was delayed by at least a day because, guess what? The bureau plane and pilot shortage caused by Cash Patel's private flights. Durban also says that Cash Patel misplaced priorities and poor management of the FBI's resources, including its aircraft, harmed the FBI's ability to respond to that shooting at Brown University on December 13th, 2025. Durban says a source revealed Cash Patel previously said at an FBI field office meeting, If you have golf, hockey, fishing, or hunting in beautiful sites, you're going to see a lot of me.
And so Cash Patel was bragging about using our taxpayer money so that he can gallivan around the country on these private jets. Here's how MSNOW is reporting it as well, that, again, he was in South Florida when one of the FBI's two available jets were not able to be used because they were flying him around during that mass shooting at Brown University. And Cash Patal saying, I dispute this allegation. I dispute this allegation. By the way, what is Dan Bongino doing? Remember the number two at the FBI, the Deputy FBI Director. So what's he saying right now? He's doing podcast now because he is out. And you know that he knows where a lot of these bodies are buried from the Epstein files. And he's been spending his time cursing out Candice Owens. And so you'll just see the panic on these people's faces. I mean, aren't you both like right-wing podcasters? And you'll hear him go, F you. There's harsh language here, but I just want you to see what the former Deputy FBI Director is doing right now. Here, play this clip.
Fuck you. Fuck you.
Go fuck yourself, you demonic fucking scum. Donald Trump's own FBI leaking against him, finally, because they see all of the destruction that Donald Trump and his despicable regime are causing. I want to bring in right now the former head of the FBI field office. Can we bring him in? David Sunberg. So he led that Washington field office since 2023. He was pushed out by the Trump regime. In 2002, he was joined the FBI. He rose through the ranks. He's formerly Air Force, former law enforcement. He's actually running for Congress in Maryland as well. Here's an interview I did with him because I want to get the perspective of this guy was the top guy, the top FBI official in Washington, DC. He ran the field office. 1,600 agents and other staff reported to him. Half of them were agents reported to this guy.
So let's bring in Dave Sunberg. It's great to I see you. Dave's also running for Maryland's fifth Congressional district. You entered the FBI 2002. Before that, you were Air Force. Not a political guy at all. Never thought that you'd actually be really running for office. But as I've said to a lot of people that have dealt with this Trump regime, I wasn't a political guy, really, at all until I was a lawyer, until politics hit me, and I was like, I got to do something about what's going on. So we've got a lot to discuss, Dave, especially Probably as thousands of FBI agents are either being forced out or quitting, and they just can't handle these conditions there. So I just want to get your first reaction. Just so people know, too, the field office in DC has about a thousand people there. Half of them are agents. So when you're the leader of that field office, you're supervising a huge amount of people that are at that office. So talk through us, though, when you see that behavior, Cash Patel chugging the beer, the spokesperson saying he's not going to the Olympics. To me, the FU to the American people, Trump calling and mocking the women's hockey team.
What was going through your mind?
Well, thank you very much. And I really appreciate the opportunity to be on. Let me start by congratulating both the men's and women's US Olympic Hockey teams for incredible gold medal wins. Frankly, my thanks, and I think all Americans' thanks to all of our athletes who, in a difficult circumstance, went to represent our nation at the Olympics, which is such a tremendous tradition for us. And they're at the peak of their athletic careers, and I complement every single one of them. I think there are two things that I see when I see those videos and what's happening. Frankly, the first is I'm embarrassed for the FBI. And the second, the second And is really that it doesn't appear to be new. I'm not surprised to see something like this again. The FBI I was in lived under a golden rule of not embarrassing the agency. And I think that's important for a number of reasons, and especially important when you talk about the senior leaders of an organization such as the FBI or any We have our government agencies that carry such heavy responsibilities. And that is that people watch what you do all the time.
I learned that lesson as I came up through the FBI. As you mentioned, I started in the Air Force, and then I was a local police officer and detective before joining the FBI, where I spent more than two decades before taking over as the head of the Washington field office, where we worked some tremendously important cases. And I knew every day that all of the employees of the FBI, and frankly, the public, were watching how I conducted myself and what I did. And fairly, they were also watching the things I didn't do, what I wasn't attending to, or what I didn't think was important. And that matters because the reason the FBI is able to accomplish this mission is because it has the trust of the American people, and we may be losing that trust. It is very important It's very important at the end of the day for an FBI agent to be successful, to be able to get victims or witnesses to talk to him or her with honesty in times that may be really risky for those people. And they've got to trust that this FBI agent they're going to talk to who could be out canvassing a neighborhood doing interviews to find the kidnapper of Nancy Guthrie, or could very importantly be working a case we We should have, in broad, under open conditions, working with the state to investigate the use of force by ICE agents that led to the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretty, to do those interviews, people need to trust the FBI agent they're talking to.
And now, every FBI agent who goes out into our country to do the job on behalf of the people starts that conversation with the American in public, having watched the FBI director, as you described, in a locker room, spraying beer. That's not how we want to start those conversations.
And with the exodus of maybe a thousand or more agents and even probably more staffers, and the purge by the Trump regime of senior executives like yourselves and others who have built this institutional experience on the highest risks to our country. For our audience, can you describe just how dangerous is it right now? I mean, in terms of What's not being investigated with the brain drain that's occurred, how do you describe it? How do you see what's existing right now at that agency?
It's tremendously challenging to accomplish the mission right now for a number of reasons. And some of those are where we are putting the agents and analysts in their efforts and what work they're doing. The FBI has traditionally not worked immigration matters outside of its own cases. And when we push FBI agents to do that work, or in the case of Washington, DC, to have agents walking the streets as if they're part of the Metropolitan Police Department, immediately, even outside of those roles, we're taking them away from the things that they should be working on because only the FBI can work on them in such a capacity. Those are terrorism cases that are not getting as much attention. Those are cyber cases that could be national security cases or they could be criminal cyber cases in which Americans are being defrauded of tremendous amounts of money. They could be complex health care fraud investigations or espionage cases. And just putting the human capacity of the FBI on other projects that are not traditionally FBI priorities, and certainly we have other agencies that are supposed to attend them, that by itself takes away from the attention we can give an already strapped FBI to to conduct its national security mission and to work these really significant criminal cases on behalf of the American people.
Additionally, by putting them in that position, we continue to detract from the public trust in the agency. And as I said, the trust of the public is essential in accomplishing the mission of the FBI. Our government works at the consent of the people and law enforcement at any level. And I've worked at local levels and at federal levels. We are unable to provide good policing and good national security if we lose the trust of the communities we work in.
And look, we'll talk about your Congressional race right now and why you stepped in to run for the fifth Congressional district. It's a very crowded primary there. So I want to talk in a bit about what do you think separates you from some of the Democratic primaries? Everybody knows that's Stenny Hoyer's seat that he's had before I was born. I think he had seating 1980, and he announced his resignation soon. It's Maryland's fifth. But to me, when I'm watching, when I'm seeing the FBI behavior, in many ways, I think the hard part for us all is what we're watching is so clownish. It's so juvenile. It's surreal. It doesn't feel like this could even be a real thing. It's like we're living a simulation and a parody because Because look, you're a serious dude. When I think about FBI agents, I think about real serious people who go in every day and every microsecond of the day is done with intentionality and purpose, and even the smallest aberration from the mission could be viewed with discipline. And that's what I think about the FBI. And then I see this craziness out there, and I almost don't have the language to be like, what the F?
What the F is this? What the F is this all?
And I think that's also why you decided to run, because it is like, what the F is going on with our country?
It's ridiculous and it's authoritarian, but it's also weird and strange and demented.
And I'm like, what?
I grew up with value. Your word is important. You keep your contracts. You do things. It's just craziness that's out there.
Yes, agreed. And that's really challenging for people in government, not just in the FBI. There are so many federal employees who are doing their best to do the job they signed up to do, and they signed up for a reason. I used to tell the people working with me in the FBI that we all signed up for the same reason. It didn't matter if you were an FBI agent, you were an analyst, you were a linguist, you were an attorney, a professional staff. It didn't matter. We're all there to accomplish your mission. We needed to do that together. And that is a very, very tough place to work. And it is full of really great people who took federal civil service jobs in order to fulfill a service obligation to what they consider to be the most important thing that they can do. And so why am I running? I'm running, frankly, because I've decided that being angry is not enough. We can be frustrated with the system. We can be disappointed in how politics are. I am frustrated as someone who is forced out of my position because I certainly would not have allowed the FBI to be utilized in the manner it's being right now.
And I think we need people who have deep experience inside of the very agencies that are being weaponized against our own people. The Department of Justice has been weaponized as a way to go after political opponents, which is a terrible thing to happen to the agency that doesn't work for the President, per se. It works for the American people. The attorney general is not the President's attorney. And to watch parts of the Department of Homeland Security, ICE, specifically, to be used as a tool of intimidation, is not where we should be as a nation. And then in DC, specifically, but we've seen it in other cities, it's just still going on in DC. The presence of armed National Guardsmen appears to me to be an attempt to normalize the view of soldiers in our streets. And when you couple that with statements from the President that we should nationalize elections in certain states, I am very, very concerned of the direction we're headed. I'm very concerned that Congress has not been able to be a proper check on presidential power, and that's probably been true for many years. And we need more people to step up to serve in ways that will be important for our country to move forward at I never intended a political career.
I'm a career public servant who has taken an oath to defend the Constitution now three times. I've administered that oath to task force officers joining us in our missions, whether it was to fight violent crime or foreign intelligence officers or be on Cyber Task Force. That oath is important to me. And just because I was forced out of government by President Trump, doesn't mean that that oath has changed at all. And I believe I can go to Congress and help to provide this oversight, and more importantly, the rebuilding of those agencies that would be important and needs to be done from an understanding of how those agencies work, what was not great about them before, and where we need to go in the future so that we can protect them from easy weaponization against the American people.
Where can people learn more about you, about the campaign, and anything else you want to say to our more than 6 million subscribers before we go?
Thanks so much. They can learn more about me and the campaign at davesunberg. Com. That's D-A-V-E-S-U-N-D-B-E-R-G. Com. My bio's there. I am a proud public servant who was pushed out because I was not going to allow the Washington field office or any other part the FBI, but specifically my office, which had responsibility for the January sixth cases, had responsibility for the staffing of agents and analysts on the special counsel cases. I was not going to allow that to be politicized. And so now I am running to represent the fifth district of Maryland in Congress, a district that has, if not the highest, one of the highest percentages of federal employees in it of any Congressional district right outside DC. It's very important that we all get in this fight together and that we stop these excesses and abuses of federal government. We need these agencies to be working for us with our consent.
Dave Sunberg, running for Maryland fifth Congressional district. Look forward to hearing more from you and learning more about the campaign as it progresses. Thanks, Dave.
