What Are They Hiding? They’re Lawyering Up ~ Ep. 1258 ~ 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 increasingly bizarre case against General Mike Flynn as the judge in the case lawyers up! I also cover the explosive growth of podcasts as evidenced by the latest Joe Rogan deal. Finally, I address the Biden team meltdown over this video.

I'll get right to the punchline. At the end of the show, Dan asks us to help determine what Joe Biden really said. Was it, "I'll beat Joe Biden," or was it "I'll be Joe Biden"???  First of all, you'd have to know if he was inebriated or intoxicated.  Words can be so easily slurred in certain conditions.  You can listen, and make your own decision.

But, it was a head fake, just so you know.  A head fake by our side, courtesy of Dan Bongino, and will keep the weak minded trolls in social media busy for weeks making their brilliant, scientific, complete forensic studies of that clip.  That will keep them busy!  Meanwhile, the adults in the room can discuss the serious issues.  Things like what Dan says about the media.

Now, think about it.  Shouldn't the people doing journalism be the ones that give us real news, and not fake news?  The reporter just has one job, and that is to report the facts.  No bias is required.  Just the facts, ma'am.  But as it turns out, editors decide HOW the story is presented, with their editorial bias injected.  Or, the editors can also edit by omission, which can unfortunately lead to the media telling "a story," rather than "the story," as Dan expresses it. 

This episode gave me a whole bunch of things to think about.  Yep, hearing about Judge Emmet Sullivan "lawyering up" with Beth Wilkinson, a comrade of Kathryn Ruemmler, should make you wonder what is going on.

An interesting diversion from the political things: Dan talks about the New York Times article about Joe Rogan's success.  Okay, I'm not going to try to tell the younger crowd of the readers here what or how to think, but pay attention to what has prompted this story to get out there, and a mention here.  From an old guy like me to the young people out there, always pay attention to the TRENDS.  And getting the information, actual facts, will matter more and more in the future.

If that wasn't the perfect segue into these last words before you start watching this great Memorial Day episode...  I know.  Really, many of us know.  If you are even checking out a fraction of my posts here on Blogging in Our Time 2 Escape, YOU know what they are hiding.
