Greg Gutfeld on Cancel Culture, Social Media, and his New Book ~ Ep. 1311 ~ 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 wide-ranging interview with Fox News’ host Greg Gutfeld, we discuss his new book “The Plus,” the pernicious effects of cancel culture, the future influence of social media on the country, and more.
I had a thought while I was watching this great interview of Greg Gutfeld by Dan Bongino:  After seeing this interview, and what I learned about Greg's book, "The Plus:  Self-help For People Who Hate Self-Help," I wasn't really sure if I should write about this interview.  Plus, or Minus?  In this case, a definite plus.

In these days of people having to work from home, and your spouses are around and see you as you would be at work... Well, Dan and Greg nail it.  It is one of those things where the spouse asks, "Who are you?"  Umm, as it is mentioned in the video, that can work both ways.

And most definitely social engineering here, but when you use Greg's idea about asking yourself if it would be a plus or a minus benefit to mention something that bugs you about your spouse, that should always be a minus benefit:  Zip it.

When it comes to the cancel culture, I tend to pay no attention to them.  What's the point?  Do I have that much to lose?  And, go ahead and say something sick and sadistic about me, and if it isn't true, you'll just hear from an attorney.  But I really have nothing that would concern me.  I've never been to an offshore island and in kinky situations.  There's no Adventures With Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein in my past.  The only thing I've really ever done is admit I'm a Conservative, and maybe written some really stupid things on Twitter or Facebook that I shouldn't have, but that was before I learned about Greg's Rule of considering the plus or minus benefit before posting.

So there you have it.  It is probably an episode you don't want to miss.  It is definitely a post on johnny2k's Blogging In Our Time2Escape that you don't want to miss! Jus' sayin'...
