You’ll Be Furious When You Hear About The “Stimulus” Bill ~ Ep. 1420 ~ The Dan Bongino Show

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode in his Show Notes (a.k.a. Newsletter!):

In this episode, I discuss the disastrous “stimulus” bill and the infuriating pork loaded into it.

Since I had to take last night off, I'll have my work cut out for me, to get caught up this weekend.  So, yes, this is Tuesday's episode, on December 22, 2020.  But don't worry, there wasn't any problem yesterday, I was just busy working on Christmas stuff.  By the time I was done last night, it was too late for me to watch the show, and then coherently write about it.  Oh, and by the way, I have been listening to my Christmas music playlist while writing, and it is so very enjoyable!  I have 259 songs on the playlist right now, and it goes through the list randomly (in shuffle mode).  Really delightful listening, and it is that season!

Dan is so right about the politicians and bureaucrats in Washington, and probably a lot of states, being very unintelligent about economics.  Okay, they are either really stupid, or the other option:  They are out to destroy this great country.  Well, yes, destroying the economy will lead to destroying our freedom!  And that is sad, but it's going to happen if we don't figure out how to get our politicians to quit coming up with ways to spend our money that we don't have.  Dan is so right when he talks about the economic affects of printing money and how that leads to inflation!  You'll definitely want to pay close attention to those segments.  There are video clips of Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and Dinesh D'Souza to support what Dan tells us.  Very important information, don't miss it!

The segment that will mean the most, and probably something you should, and will, remember the rest of your life, will be Dan's final words of the episode, just after Dinesh's clip about what Socialism is.  Starting at about 50:00 into the video, following the SimpliSafe spot, that you should keep in mind, just in case your kid comes home from college for the Christmas break, and starts spouting garbage about how great Socialism is that some professor fed them.  They will be misguided and confused about it.  You can help them out!  Yes, show them that last 20 minute segment that Dan does here, destroying any Communist propaganda that the kids come home with.  (Actually, that's already possibly the case with your kids that are still K-12 in the public schools!)

By the way, this may be my last issue until after Christmas Day, so that I can concentrate on the holiday, and family, to what ever extent I can.  So, have a very Merry Christmas!  

Because I know that Dan Bongino would prefer that I embed the Rumble.com video here, I am now doing that! It finally came to me how to do it, and I am very pleased, because it doesn't require me to use the JavaScript code to do it! So, when you are watching, you will not be seeing it via youtube.com again. Nope, not here. Ever!  No more screwtube embedded video here! Forevs! So, it's now RUMBLE all the way, Dan.  For Dan's show page on Rumble.com, click here.

Liberal Cities Are Melting Down ~ Ep. 1301 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the explosive weekend interview between President Trump and Fox News’ Chris Wallace. I also address the explosion of violence in Portland and the violent leftists behind it.

Attempting to keep these posts written on the day of the show, or the next day, is getting to be a major challenge.  It started last week with the passing of my father, and I managed to do what I could in a relatively contemporaneous way to keep up. However, various things this week that came along has kept me from reaching that goal. There is no doubt in my mind that the readers of this blog would really want to keep up with the show.  And if they depend on this blog to do that, might I suggest that they just go directly to Dan Bongino's youtube channel on their own so that they can keep up? Seriously, I have no problem with that! You can always come back here and check out my posts as you go. There could always be some nugget here that lends another insight to the show episode that you may not have thought of. And seriously, I really think that Dan is quite capable, credible, and honestly one of the best podcasters out there, so he will be keeping you up to date with the information you need to know. So, when I'm behind like I am right now, you will survive. I may survive, too!

I actually did see this episode two days ago. I was going to write about it yesterday, but I couldn't decide where to go with it. Honestly, my mind was in total blank mode, staring at a computer screen, without any ideas coming forth. Authors call it "writer's block." There were so many good segments in this episode, where would I go with it? What is my takeaway? I'll get to that in a moment, as my writer's block diminishes.

Well, today, while listening to the Simon Conway Show on iHeartRadio, I learned something very valuable to know.  Simon had on a great author and novelist by the name of Brad Thor.  One of the highlights of the interview was when Simon asked Brad how he dealt with writer's block.  Brad replied that any author that says they don't ever get writer's block is lying to you.  And then, he provides a great piece of wisdom that I'll never forget, and totally free advice: "Give yourself permission to write a crummy first draft."  I don't know, when you read this piece, you may think that I've posted that crummy first draft.  In a way, you'd probably be right.  But, it is the process of starting it that we can get hung up on, right?  Okay, and so what if I watch the episode a second time, and maybe some segments multiple times.  It was that, "Give yourself permission" thing that gets us by those writer's block moments.  So, now that this problem is in the past, here is what I took away in this episode, and Dan will be glad that a member of his audience gets it.

One of the main themes of the show is that we need to listen to what the politician says.  They will interchange words, like "defund" and "redirect funds," as though we are too dumb to know they are the same thing.  That happened in the video of a Joe Biden interview, where he admits that he would redirect funds from the police, if he was President.  And then there is the video of Ms. Lilith Sinclair who explains how they will destroy... I mean, abolish, the United States as we know it... reading from her latest version of the iPhone, which is a fine product of the free market system of capitalism... Kind of a clear example of how the "soytifa's" are so loyal to their cause, as in frauds, no?  Like Dan says, "Just listen to them."  That goes for Ms. Sinclair, Joe Biden, AOC, or any of the people on the left.  They are saying what they want to do to America.  So, if you're okay with voting for people that want to defund (redirect funds from) the police, or destroy (abolish) the United States, you are free to vote for them.  It's still a free country.  For now.

Yes, and I love the many other topics that Dan talks about in this episode, and I'm pretty sure you will too, unless you're a weak, soulless "Soytifa" (which Dan calls the Antifa group).  And I'm really glad that I permitted myself to write this crummy first draft!  Just sayin'...

The Backlash is Coming ~ Ep. 1296 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the explosive backlash brewing against the radical leftist destruction of the Republic. I also address the media’s purposeful coronavirus hysteria campaign. We give you the facts, not hysteria. We also discuss the disgusting attacks on the St. Louis couple who defended their home against a violent mob.

Someday, we will be able to come back here, and read these blog posts, and see all the things that have been happening this year, and that we are going through, and be amazed that we got through it all (hopefully!).  I'm in that position now, as my 100 year old dad went home to be with the Lord early Tuesday morning (July 14).  So, not everybody got through these times.  He was used to seeing me or my two siblings, and other visitors, several times a week, up until the Wuhan Pandemic began, and they locked down his nursing home facility back in early March.  Even with Alzheimer's, he was doing very well up until the lockdown.

When Dan is talking about the Martin County Commissioner conundrum, it made me think about what our family was going through, without seeing my dad up until they allowed us to visit him the day before Fathers Day.  Not being able to see him was obviously not to his or our benefit. While the nursing home being locked down was not a good thing for us, it kept the nursing home residents safe.  It truly was one of those situations where one option was the lesser of two evils.  We will always have to make choices that truly involve one bad option, and one worse option.  Unfortunately, in elections, we seem to be faced with that problem too often.  I would like those people that are not big fans of President Trump to consider what the other option is, and what it would do to this country.  Just sayin'...

When is Enough, Enough? ~ Ep. 1292 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the explosion in violence in New York City and in other liberal run cities, along with the pathetic efforts to blame it on President Trump. I also cover the arrest of this confidante of Jeffrey Epstein and the people who should be worried about it.

I need to apologize to Dan Bongino. As he will mention in this episode, he had a lot of people emailing him to ask if he was okay, since there was not a new episode yesterday, (Monday, July 6, 2020). I heard him say last week in Episode 1290, that they would not be airing new shows over the July 4 weekend, including Monday.  I didn't provide that information when I wrote that blog.  And then, I had another chance to mention it when I provided my blog with the fabulous interview with Jenna Ellis, in Episode 1291.  It would have been a good idea to remind people that Dan wouldn't be working on Monday.  He and his staff of Paula, Joe, and Drew needed time off.  And by the way, so did I!  Anyway, there may have been a few less emails to him from his many fans, wondering if the Bongino family was okay, had I mentioned it!

As I was saying, I took some time off, too, last Saturday, on the nation's birthday, July 4, Independence Day.  When I completed my 67th trip around the Sun on Wednesday, July 1, I was too busy to really celebrate!  I was willing to wait, and celebrate it with ALL Americans on the nation's birthday on Saturday.  And celebrate, I did!  There's a good segment on Dan's show that will totally go along with what I was doing to celebrate, so please watch this, it's the perfect seque!

Besides writing these blogposts, one of my favorite things to do in the Summer is to go out and have a good old campfire in my back yard, in my firepit, while sipping on a few brews.  Well, on July 4, that's the perfect time to do it.  I had purchased a couple bundles of good hardwood at the store.  I'm telling you, that wood burns great!  I think I spent about $12 plus some sales tax.  Because fireworks are banned in my city, despite being legal in Iowa, I decided not to buy any fireworks.  But let me tell you, there were so many true patriots that ignored the ban.  Fireworks were going off all around me.  Literally.  So, in that segment I linked to above, it was so much like that.  Incredible!  Oh, and by the way, the huge fireworks show they usually do in downtown Cedar Rapids, was cancelled this year.  I don't have to mention the reason.  You can figure that out on your own, I'm sure.

I was proud of our citizens of this city, and even more yet, of Los Angeles.  Their fine of $50,000 is probably a lot higher than here in Cedar Rapids, no doubt!  Unless somebody did something stupid here, and blew off some fingers, I do not think the police were too interested in enforcing the ban.  Nope.  Nada.  Fireworks still going off up until about 2:00 AM.  The thing is, though, there was no organized insurrection to get everyone onboard to shoot off the "illegal fireworks."  Nothing organized at all.  The truth is, people are really getting fed up with our local governments telling us what we can and can not do!  So, on their own, they light up their firepits (probably some ordinance saying we can't), shoot off fireworks, and probably even socialize without social distancing!  I'm going to start ranting in Tucker Carlson's style:  "You must obey, peasants!  You are being ruled by well-educated tyrants that know much better than you."  Okay, I will leave it there.

You see?  I am really having fun with this post.  But, no doubt, there are some very serious issues that Dan discusses in this episode.  You see, there is a huge difference between civil disobedience to counter tyranny, and outright crime, say, shooting and terminating the life of a father walking with his daughter on a city street in the South Bronx, New York.  Yes, as you would guess, Dan does a hard-hitting, tear-jerking segment on that incident.

Another great segment in this episode involves the Hydroxychloroquine issue, and Dan addresses how the Fake News media has reported it. Of course, as soon as the President touted the use of Hydroxychloroquine to treat Coronavirus, the mainstream media may have caused the needless deaths of many by falsely claiming it was dangerous, just to make President Trump look bad. You can see that segment by clicking here.

Finally, take notice of the fact that Dan may have sources with information that can't be shared yet, but he pretty much assures us in a cryptic way that there will be some head spinning revelations coming out of the Ghislain Maxwell arrest.  When all of it happens, and it all hits the fan, you won't hear it here first, but I'll definitely let you know about it!  Something to look forward to, we hope?  And I have other theories, too, that could be woven into this story... So, if you hear a very large gurgling sound, that may be the swamp being drained in a very big way, maybe soon!

And by the way, we will have to help the Washington Post find a new name, being that they are so much in favor of canceling anything with the name Washington.  You know what I'm just saying?

Enjoy the Dan Bongino Show, Episode 1292.  He's back, and so am I!  I promise, there will be a better notification when either Dan or I take some time off the next time!

This One Issue Could Change Everything in 2020 ~ Ep. 1288 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the catastrophic decision by this big city Mayor which could change everything. I also address what happened in the Supreme Court and how it will change the 2020 election.

Now that I've been doing this blogging about the Dan Bongino show on a daily basis, since February 1, 2020, and yes that was the first and most feeble one, it has become my "JUST ONE JOB," and I better not ever screw it up.  (Just kidding, actually.  I just like that line, "you had just one job.")  It has evolved quite a bit since that first one I posted five months ago.  I now have a format that I always use, and that makes it much easier to do.  It took quite a bit of experimentation to get it to where it is now.

Yes, I'm officially retired, and I don't do this for money.  No, Dan doesn't put a stack of cash in a garbage can for me to pick up, though he probably saw that happen back in the days at the 75th Precinct where he worked when he was with the NYPD.  No, there's no compensation.  Nor would I even expect it.  He probably doesn't even know I exist.  This project for me is not financially driven.  It is MISSION driven!  What do I mean by that?

In the very first segment (after he does the ad spots) in this episode, Dan talks about the 911 call that he had discussed in yesterday's show.  Little did Dan know it, but he gave me the rah-rah speech that kept me going today.  It was about not giving up the fight, because the Left wasn't going to, and they would continue to pummel our cabooses into oblivion, even if we tried to quit.  For us to quit, and give up, is just what the Left wants us to do.  We can't.  I can't, even though sometimes I get that feeling that I'm barely reaching anybody with my blogs and social media.  But then, I remember this one important thing:  It may be that one person I reach that does go make a difference.  Or it could be somebody that always votes Democrat that realizes the Demonicrats running large urban areas really don't care about our safety.  Like now, in New York City, where Mayor Bill DeBlasio is going to cut a billion dollars from the public safety budget.  What a clown!  If you don't think that matters, you haven't been watching Dan's show.

But, that's right, it may be just that one person that my blog reaches, that starts fighting back.  Somebody that has some influence.  It could be like the guy dancing in the park, and one guy joins him, which is all it took to bring everyone into the dancing! 

So, I just have one job.  Well, actually two:  Encourage somebody to get into the fight, and annoy liberals. 

Dan, just put the cash in a paper bag on top of the recycle cannister behind my house.

Another Fake News Bombshell Collapses ~ Ep. 1287 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the explosive fake news bombshell planted in The NY Times this weekend. I discuss the tech tyrants outrageous suspension of this conservative superstar. I also address the stellar response to the riots in Oklahoma, contrasted with the explosion of violence and chaos elsewhere.

Of course, I want you to see the whole show, but definitely, you really must watch the first 18 minutes.  Dan lays it out very well, about the danger that this country is in.  What he talks about in this first segment is pretty mind blowing.  These Black Lives Matters protests are a lot different than the good old days, when President Obama was President, and we had plenty of very peaceful Tea Party rallies.  And at that time, the Fake News Media was gaslighting the American public, to believe that tea partiers were racist, because they disagreed with President Obama's policies.  Obviously, that wasn't true.  We were just a rag tag army of gun-toting, bible carrying Walmart deplorables, mostly in flyover country, that didn't care much for Socialism.  But peaceful.  And despite being lied about in the public relations war.

Those times have changed, now.  The Black Lives Matter and Antifa crowds have nothing to lose.  They have resorted to violence.  They destroy property and take lives, if not gravely injuring people, including law enforcement officers.  How long will it be before somebody decides to defend themselves and protect their property, and tragically have to take somebody's life?  Keep in mind that the protestors that are incited into terrorism (because that is what it is), are shot and killed while trying to do harm to private citizens?  Or a cop?

All the while, many police departments in Blue states and cities are told to stand down, or threatened with defunding.  Communist NYC Mayor Bill DeBlasio has already began to neuter the NYPD.  And the number of retirements from the PD force are astronomical.  So, without the police around, who are you going to call when there is a life threatening situation?  911?  Well, apparently not in Fredericksburg, Virginia.  But yes, give somebody at city hall a call (if you survive).

I surely hope that people listen to Dan, both with his warning, and what the solutions are. Also, be sure to see the bonus video I'm including below. Tucker Carlson adds some additional details and insight to the situation with the McCloskeys down in St. Louis, defending their property. I assure you, when you see the reaction from politicians, it will bake your bagels.

My Apologies ~ Ep. 1265 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the exploding controversy over this action by President Trump. I discuss the new revelations in the Mike Flynn case which will rock your core. I also address my appearance on Hannity last night and I explain what happened.

On a very sincere note to begin the show, Dan gives a very heart felt mea culpa for using the Lord's name in vain when he was on the Sean Hannity Show on Tuesday (June 2, 2020).  He was in total repentance, fully acknowledging his guilt, and apologizing for what he did.  Umm, do you remember when former President Obama's pastor, "Reverend" Jeremiah Wright gave his mea culpa for using the Lord's name in vain?  Well, I don't either!  I don't think he did, unless the press never reported that.

It was great to see Dan getting back to the Gen. Mike Flynn saga in the show.  I thought it was a highlight moment of the ages when Dan briefed us on the Noel Francisco Brief in regard to Michael Flynn's Petition for Writ of Mandamus to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.  So, the Solicitor General of the United States would just make it all up?  Just alluding to what Liberals will probably tell you.  You better try real hard, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff or CNN and PMSNBC dimwits, because it's going to be pretty difficult to discredit the people that signed that little note to an Appeals Court.  Good luck with that.  They'd have to be morons to attempt that sabotage.  Oh, wait...

Okay, I'm on a roll here, but there is SO much to this show for you to see and hear for yourself.  Only if you are trying to write a blog about it do you have to keep going back to his Show for information, because otherwise, this one will tell you right up front that this is about a true battle between good and evil.  And you know?  I think the police are the good guys!  And they will try to keep protestors and the public safe to the best of their abilities, and sometimes at a very high cost. I hope and pray that the protestors get very smart, which they truly are, and start turning in the REAL bad guys that have been hijacking a legitimate cause, for very evil purposes.  I'll let Dan explain.

Lying Adam Schiff Is Exposed And He’s Panicking ~ Ep. 1245 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the explosive new documents, which have sleazy Adam Schiff in a full panic. I also address the latest reason the Democrats are giving for bankrupting America and keeping it closed.

So, I'm sitting here in my office just after watching Episode 1245, wondering which of the topics that Dan discussed would be fitting for this post.  I really loved the segment on freeing Shelley Luther, the woman that was sent to jail by an activist judge that wanted her to apologize for her "selfish act" of going back to work so that she could feed her kids and pay her rent.  Well, I just got done covering the story of her release from jail Thursday afternoon, and Ted Cruz getting a haircut from her. Just see my Twitter profile feed at @johnny2k.  Multiple stories.  So I'll leave it at that.  However, Shelley's story may set something in motion.  Did you see in my post yesterday, where I found the guy dancing alone in the park video that Dan often mentions? 

Yep, and I think it will be Shelley Luther who was dancing alone, but now more and more people will be joining her, like Jax Myers, and guess what, Demonicrats?  The economy is going to come back, despite the Demonicrats attempt to keep moving the goal post to open things up again.

Yes, now that's my big take away story from this episode.  The Dems are now claiming that we have to do massive testing and tracing before we open the economy back up... with rampant unemployment and all... so that they can then retcon the story that they were way off in the beginning, when they claimed that the flu was much more dangerous than the Wuhan Covid-19 Coronavirus.  Now their narrative is, and will be, President Trump didn't act quickly enough, and before we end up losing many more lives to the horrible virus, let's make sure that we quarantine everyone that could continue to spread the disease.  Oh, and let's also get the vaccine for Covid-19 developed, too, another movement of their goal post.  And they're thinking (well, maybe not, people on the left really aren't capable of actual thinking), "Gosh, if we could just keep the economy down up until the election, and then get sociopath liars out there, such as lying Adam Schiff or Nancy Pelosi, along with our pals in the fake news mainstream media, we can say that it's all Trump's fault." 

But, they keep forgetting one important little fact:  President Donald Trump is by far more intelligent than they are, and he knows how to lead, and he will be depending on WE the PEOPLE to start dancing in the park with those like Shelley Luther and Jax Myers in the country.  He knows us. He knows the American people are not going to allow ourselves to "shelter in place," while we all go bankrupt.  Not going to happen. We will find the safest ways to open the businesses back up.  We will continue to be the free people that know how to solve problems and get through our challenges.

Now It’s Time for REAL Investigations ~ Ep. 1177 ~ The Dan Bongino Show ~ Video

As always, The Dan Bongino show was absolutely packed with information in today's episode. As Dan reminds us, again and again, they all know each other! And they all have something to hide! We're learning more and more about the Ukrainian connection to Biden's corruption scandal.

We will also see Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's shining illustration of the learnin' she received in college, with a degree in Economics. We should be glad she didn't major in theology, she would want us all to end up as atheists. Instead, she comes out with a confusion of two economists on the polar opposite ends of economic theory.  Yes, she is pretty much clueless.

But the most important take-away I saw in this episode was near the beginning, when Dan told about when he decided that he wanted to be a cop, and explains how that happened. I pay intentional tribute to this part, as Dan is explaining why MOST cops are doing what they do, and how they are not usually recognized for their heroic actions on almost a daily basis.
