TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): How did Dan go so quickly from a critic of the deep state to its most aggressive defender? What happened to Dan, do you think?
...
STEVE BAKER (GUEST): Well, he's complete opposite now. I don't know. You know, look, I can speculate as as much as anybody. He, it feels like, looks like he had a breakdown of some sort.
CARLSON: He's terrified. That's obvious. I don't know why. I don't know any more than that. I know having had a lot of contact with Dan Bongino, he turned on a dime. You know, something happened to him at FBI that just broke him as a man, destroyed his life, and certainly destroyed his career. And I feel sorry for him, but I just find it interesting that he was your, like, greatest opponent. You're you're just trying to find out what happened.
