“Doing Something” Shouldn’t Mean Doing Something Dumb ~ Ep. 1205 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino:

In this episode, I address some of the positive signs emerging in the fight against the Coronavirus. I also address a stunning admission by Joe Biden in the disastrous Democrat debate last night. Finally, I address some of the terrible government proposals to rescue the economy from the Coronavirus downturn, and what we should really be doing.

There is much covered and discussed by Dan Bongino in this episode, and it really isn't something I can easily summarize. Yes, Dan does his very best to inform us in his usual, serious way, and with the normal "nuking their bagels" commentary on dumb "journalists" and Never-Trumpers.

Yes, there are some great highlights that you will want to see, for sure! Of course, as I often advise, it is still best to watch this youtube episode from beginning to end.  But, for example, I especially love the segment devoted to Sunday night's Demonicrat "Debate," with Jo(k)e Biden going after Bernie for the bunch of SuperPacs that are backing him. You have to see it for yourselves! As Dan says about the debate, the best way he heard it described was, "It looked like a fight over a parking spot in a Florida condo association." It was a total disaster, and it wasn't much of a debate. Hey, if you watched it, just remember it as a couple hours of your life that you'll never get back.

So, yes, there was some humor going on in this episode, and now and then, we really need to have something to lighten it up a little, while this Coronavirus crisis continues on.  Dan did his best to do that for us.  But, that may be why when it comes toward the end of the episode, Dan gives us a very serious look at where we are going, and what we are doing, during this trying time. Dan ends the show on this note, from a C.S. Lewis essay about the new dangers of the Atomic Age, and it is why we have to do our best to keep on keeping on:

From the C.S. Lewis Essay, “On Living in an Atomic Age” (1948) in Present Concerns: Journalistic Essays

This is the first point to be made: and the first action to be taken is to pull ourselves together. If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things—praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts—not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They may break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds.
