Podbit · The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI's AI-powered National Threat Operations Center triaged an incoming tip and stopped a planned school shooting in North Carolina in real time. The same system is being used to catch murderers and rapists on state and federal warrants who would have slipped through due to insufficient human capacity.

In one of the show's most data-dense moments, Bongino fires off the FBI's 2025–26 scorecard in rapid succession. A 20% drop in the nationwide murder rate — the largest in modern American history, he contends. Forty-five thousand violent crime arrests. More than 24,000 criminal enterprises disrupted. Nearly 7,000 child victims located and nearly 3,000 predators arrested. Over 100 counterintelligence arrests. Eight of the FBI's ten most wanted fugitives captured. He addresses it directly to an unnamed critic who recently tweeted that nothing has happened on Bongino's watch: 'You're just a moron.'

The FBI's 2025–26 numbers are staggering: 20% drop in the national murder rate, 45,000 violent crime arrests, 24,450 criminal enterprises disrupted, 6,900 child victims located, and 8 of 10 most wanted fugitives captured. Bongino says critics who claim 'nothing is happening' are ignoring the largest documented crime reduction in modern American history.
The FBI reported a 20% drop in the nationwide murder rate during 2025–26, which Bongino cited as evidence of real results under the Trump administration.
The FBI made 45,000 violent crime arrests in 2025–26, part of a broader crackdown Bongino highlighted as proof that results are being delivered.
The FBI disrupted 24,450 gangs and criminal enterprises in 2025–26, one of many statistics Bongino cited to rebut 'nothing is happening' critics.
The FBI located 6,900 child victims and arrested 2,900 child predators and human traffickers in 2025–26.
The FBI captured 8 of its 10 most wanted fugitives in 2025–26, a data point Bongino cited among a list of record law enforcement results.
Game apps keep users engaged long enough for ads to pay off. Tool apps don't — so if you're building a utility, ads are almost always the wrong call and subscriptions are your only real lever.
Inside SEO Bot, a single button labelled 'Boost My Domain Rating' routes users directly to Listing Bot. That one interaction converts a user of one tool into a user of two — without any marketing cost.
Directory listings are a powerful but underrated growth channel — but only if your product is genuinely interesting enough to earn the click. AI products have a natural advantage here because they're easy to package in a compelling, clickable way.
The fastest path to Twitter growth isn't volume — it's forming sharp opinions about how the platform works and sharing them immediately. People cluster around those who understand the rules and say so out loud.
Sam had no coding knowledge, so he used ChatGPT voice mode to generate his entire codebase and copy-pasted it into Notepad. A friend later introduced him to Cursor, and he never looked back.
Copy days of Discord chat history, paste it into ChatGPT, and ask it to list recurring pain points. The ones that come up most often are your best product bets.
Sam's top advice: when prompting Cursor, tell it to architect code for 100,000 users from day one. The AI changes its approach, building scalable frameworks instead of brittle one-user code.
With AI coding tools like Cursor, Bhanu replicates an existing free tool for a new keyword in under 5 minutes. What used to be a multi-day build is now a lunch-break task.
Ahrefs, SiteGPT, Cal.com, PostHog, Datafast, Sibyl AI, Bento, Feather, Featurepace, Mintlify, Cloud Code, ChartMogul — Bhanu runs his entire business solo with these 12 tools.
