FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino sounded alarms during an interview Wednesday night on Fox News's "Hannity" about the perilous threats the country faces and the impact of emerging technologies as law enforcement tries to stop terrorism.
"The threat picture now for the United States is dramatic," Bongino told host Sean Hannity. "When you get the president's daily brief every morning like the director and I do for this ... you go out of there (and) your blood pressure is through the roof — it's so many different things."
He cited threats from drone attacks, artificial intelligence (AI), China and infiltration from other countries among his biggest concerns.
"People say, 'Well, what keeps you up at night?'" Bongino said. "Well, the answer is, I'd never sleep if I thought about this stuff all the time, but it all keeps me up at night."
President Trump named longtime ally Bongino, a former U.S. Secret Service agent, radio personality and podcaster who has guest hosted Hannity's show in the past, to the FBI's No. 2 role in February.
Bongino said he and FBI Director Kash Patel have prioritized building trust in federal law enforcement through reform.
"Without reform, we're not going to have anything, because the American people won't trust us," he said.
Bongino noted that he had spoken to recent graduates of the FBI Academy at Quantico earlier in the day and stressed the multitude of threats he sees facing the country.
"I said, 'There's no one coming to save us — the Marvel Avengers ain't coming,'" Bongino recalled to Hannity. "It is us."
