Stand up for the Truth ~ Ep. 1270 ~ 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 Democrats‘ latest outrageous attack on the police and I debunk the myths they’re promoting to advance their cause. I also address the protests, the riots, and the debate over the Second Amendment. Finally, I address the latest efforts by the government to hide this key Spygate witness.

It looks like a really good night for me to take a slight breather from all my writing in the past week.  Not that I mind it at all, it's actually just what I need to help get through the "shelter-in-place" thing.  It puts my mind to work. 

It seems that Dan is still very focused on the calls by Liberal politicians to "Defund the police," and we can understand that, being what he did in the past as an officer with the NYPD and then as an agent for the Secret Service.  But, it should be a very important issue for all of us, assuming that none of us want to be living in a extremely unsafe world, where rule of law no longer exists!

When you are voting for people this election in November, a few short months from now, please pay very close attention to what the candidates running for office are saying.  First of all, you need to watch this episode, it will help you determine if that politician is anti-law enforcement.  Sometimes, it isn't easy to tell when they have these nice "word salad" talking points and say things that may sound really imaginative, but really offer absolutely a big goose egg in actual solutions.  And, oh boy, the gigantic myths about the police "problems" that Dan easily debunks - with actual facts - are the other things to be aware of and considered before you vote.  If the candidate is for banning "assault rifles" and for "defunding the police," you will know for sure not to vote for that candidate.  Be careful, though, they can be really good at hiding their true beliefs, too.  Politicians can be tricky.  That's why you need to be sure you know about four of the top myths about police, which Dan gets to in his last segment.

Yes, I know, in the show description above, it mentions a Spygate story and the debate over the Second Amendment.  I'm very sorry that I have to disappoint you, but Dan doesn't ever get to either of those topics in this episode.  But that is perfectly fine, as the show content today is meant to counter the call for defunding the police and all of the other BS that Liberals are talking about.  I call it, Defending the Police, which is something that we need people like Dan to do, especially with his experience and perspectives.  And, it is all worth it, when he shows the President of the Minneapolis City Council, Lisa Bender, totally making a fool of herself by doubling down on her proposal to dismantle the Minneapolis police force.  It seems absolutely absurd to even suggest getting rid of law enforcement, and one of these days, I'll tell you my theory about why Liberals are suggesting this.

That's all I've got today, folks, but if you haven't seen today's show yet, this Episode 1270 is great, and you need to see it.

SHOW NOTES for Episode 1270

The Battle Lines Have Been Drawn ~ Ep. 1269 ~ 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 insane “defund the police movement” and I debunk liberal myths about policing which are being used to fuel rage. I also address the inside story of the NYPD chaos and the Secret Service’s political fights.

So, there is this little piece of advice that Dan Bongino has for those out there that want to defund the police.  This is being discussed in liberal cities, like in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.  And it isn't just stopping at defunding the police. In Minneapolis, they actually voted to dismantle the police force.  I really think that they should reconsider that proposal.  Doing away with the police force is not going to lead to any great civilization with no crime.  Actually, it would have the exact opposite affect.  Yep, just my personal opinion, based on what I know is true.  There are still unbelievably evil sociopathic people out there, and without any type of law enforcement, it would be total chaos and anarchy. 

There are three big reasons for having plenty of very well trained law enforcement officers:  The police are there to possibly prevent crimes when possible, stop crimes while they are occurring, and investigating crimes that have already occurred.   In this post, I want to focus on explaining and exploring each of those elements, which should help people understand why defunding the police is a really horrible idea. 

In the case of crime prevention, there's a thing called deterrence.  I'm sorry, but anybody that thinks that the criminal thinks about what happens if they get caught, prosecuted and found guilty, and incarcerated, is a deterrent, I would have to say they are wrong.  I know that seems hard to believe.  I couldn't even fathom the thought of being locked up in a cell, for any amount of time.  Of course, now, people are being let OUT of jail because of the Wuhan Coronavirus, so even the thought of incarceration isn't going to deter many of the hardened criminals.  The REAL deterrent to keep a crime from occurring is a police presence.   Police patrols in the squad cars, plainly marked and obvious to the criminals, and even the walking beat patrols, DO deter crime.  Defunding the police would greatly reduce the manpower needed for this element of fighting crime:  Prevention by deterrence.

The next element is very critical to your safety in this world.  Being able to call 911 when a crime is being committed, and having officers arrive soon enough to possibly save your life, would be very beneficial for your health and safety.  Of course, they can't always get to you in time, but they will try their hardest:  Lights, sirens and the whole nine yards.  But throw in a huge manpower shortage, and large gaps in coverage, and you're going to have a very serious problem.  Sadly, there are areas that would see much less coverage than is needed, and that would be in the rougher neighborhoods.  They would suffer the most.   Like Dan talks about in this episode, the police come to emergencies sometimes just to protect the fire fighters and/or the EMTs.  And who is going to direct traffic in the case of accidents on the freeway, to keep everybody safe, including you?

Finally, there is the third element for the need for plenty of funding for the police.  It always seems to be a problem when a crime has been committed, and that hopefully somebody will investigate it.  That could be you, someday:  Wanting justice for a crime that hurts you or a loved one.  Now think about it, if police departments are defunded, and they don't have the personnel to investigate, you'll be left in the dark, with no recourse (except for being a real life Charles Bronson "Death Wish" vigilantes, which you DON'T want!).   Of course, with a lack of funding, and many officers leaving the police departments, you then lose the experienced officers you would want as investigators.  There is only so much they can do.  And yet, you will still want the crime solved, and not become a cold crime.  But no, your police department was defunded, and all the good investigators went elsewhere. 

Now, when I was watching this episode, I heard Dan say that when a crime is being committed, "Who are you going to call, Ghost Busters?"  That hit me on two different levels.  First of all, that is the perfect description of the ignorance of the Liberals, and tells you how little they have thought through their suggestion that the police can be defunded or eliminated.  But the second level, one that I care about, and might mean nothing to you, is my question in the back of my mind:  Is Dan Bongino reading my blogs or tweets?  Just wondering.  I'd be honored if he was.

Please watch this episode if you haven't already.  Let me know if you think I am right, which you can do by sharing the link and tweet(s) I do to promote this wonderful episode.  Thank you, Dan Bongino, for all that you do, and have done in law enforcement.

SHOW NOTES for Episode 1269

• Why Socialism Sucks. An Interview with Dinesh D’Souza ~ Ep. 1268 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

This Isn’t a Protest Anymore, This is an Insurrection ~ Ep. 1263 ~ 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 protests which have been hijacked and have now evolved into an insurrection.

I'm pretty sure that I must be on the same wavelength that Dan Bongino is on.   I was definitely not surprised about how he put the show together on Monday.  After this last weekend?  I was glued to the TV and other venues to see what was going on.  I was very disturbed.  And obviously, Dan was just as torn up inside, and probably much more, being where he has worked in his past.

About everything that I had been thinking, Dan verified in this episode.  Starting with him identifying the three groups, Dan had me right there.  The actual protestors, taking advantage of their Constitutional Rights to address the government with their grievances.  If I was a lot healthier, I'd be joining with them!  Then, there was the criminal element, that looted and destroyed property.  They were the perfect patsies for the 3rd group, the radical left instigators of the violence.

Because of the enormous amount of violence in the form of rioting, looting, and property damage, they 3rd group, the radicals, of hijacked the message of the protestors. They even hijacked the Rights of the protesters in the First Amendment in the Constitution.  And now, the rioters are the news, rather than those that want to peacefully express their belief - whether you agree with them or not - that there is excessive use of force by the police against the minorities in America.

So, here is Dan in yesterday's episode.  I think you can understand his very somber attitude, and will be aware of that from the very beginning of the show.

SHOW NOTES for Episode 1263

MLK Jr.'s niece quotes her uncle following nights of violent protests ~ Fox & Friends Video

Dr. Alveda King joins Jedediah Bila on 'Fox & Friends.'

Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, a Democrat, says it like it is. She says, "We are better than this as a country." Right on, Sister!

And then, bring on Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Listen to what she says. Violence isn't the way to be heard. It doesn't bring us together. Come together, in faith, unity and love. And then communicate. And there is no need to scream at each other. That solves nothing.

I am hoping that this post gets around. It might, but it will depend on you. I'm not looking for any glory, other than from the Lord. Rather than destroying and stealing property, let's just calmly discuss what can be done to solve the problems of social injustice. I'm with you on that, but would much rather solve those problems peacefully. You are being heard. Now, stop the violence.

Lawrence Jones on escalating protests: 'Bad actors' are not from the community ~ Fox News Video

Former Minneapolis officer charged with murder, manslaughter in George Floyd's death, Lawrence Jones weighs in.

Lawrence Jones tells Dana Perino that the community leaders can tell the police who the outsiders are. That is why a relationship between the police departments and the community leaders needs to be built. The community leaders don't want the outside agitators coming in and destroying all that they have been working on.

Deeply Troubling Video Emerges from the Riots ~ Ep. 1262 ~ 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 war between President Trump and the Twitter tech tyrants. I also address the riots in Minneapolis, and the only way to stop them.

As Dan Bongino exposes what the Deep State did to General Michael Flynn, he is also exposing all of the other things that they  - the leftwing media and the Demonicrats - are capable of.  This isn't conspiracy theory stuff, either.  It's just something I've been pondering on since I watched this episode last night, and again today.

I couldn't even express myself in a way to tell you how I'm feeling about all that is going on.  Hey, this is way deeper than I was expecting.  What on earth?  While good things started happening in the Gen. Mike Flynn case, and thanks to former Acting DNI Rick Grenell, a lot of truth is coming out.  Dan covers that very well in this episode.

Now, though, it seems a little like somebody wants to make the President look bad, again.  But in truth, the riots only point to the left, sending in agitators to stir up the violence; property destruction and theft, via the racism excuse.  It does feel like a George Soros scheme.  Just sayin'...

Surely, I'm all wrong.  No?  I know that we were just getting ready to break out of the economic lockdown and overcome the Coronavirus Pandemic and shutdown of what was a fantastic economy.  Lo and behold, along comes another crisis!  I'm tellin' ya, it's getting pretty predictable from the left.  Thanks, Rahm Emanuel: "Never let a crisis go to waste."  That's right on page one of the Marxist playbook!  Or, Saul Alinsky's playbook, "Rules For Radicals."

I know, I didn't write a lot about this episode.  Really, just watch it, you'll get it.  There would be nothing that I could write that would add to it. Only what I wrote above.  And just know it: This is another attack on our freedom.  It's bad enough that the tech tyrants can't leave us freedom-loving Americans alone.
