Dan Bongino expressed concern over the potential for a contentious election night outcome in 2020 due to the widespread use of mail-in ballots. He believes that the Democrats are setting the stage for a "nightmare scenario" if the election is close, as they are pushing for mass mail-in voting during the coronavirus pandemic. Bongino emphasized that he has no issue with mail-in voting for those who have a legitimate reason, but is opposed to unsolicited ballots being sent to voters without their request. He hopes that he is wrong about the potential for election turmoil, but is vocalizing his concerns based on the current situation. Additionally, Bongino promoted Bambi, a HR solution for small businesses, during the show.
Mail-in voting: A recipe for election chaos?: Mail-in voting increases the risk of contested ballots and fraud, potentially leading to lengthy legal battles and delayed election results.
The New York Times article from 2012 warns about the dangers and potential for increased fraud and contested ballots in mail-in voting. The article states that election officials reject nearly 2% of mail-in ballots, double the rate for in-person voting, and that these challenges could significantly impact election outcomes. With the Democrats pushing for mass mail-in voting in 2020 despite the known risks, there is a high likelihood of contested ballots and a lengthy legal process, which could delay the election result. The New York Times and other reputable sources have acknowledged the increased risk of fraud with mail-in voting. The Democrats' plan for election night chaos, litigation, and pushing for a premature end to the process is a serious concern.
Media's Response to Alleged Voter Fraud in an Election: Media's quick dismissal of voter fraud allegations in an election can impact candidates and public perception, potentially overshadowing potential integrity concerns and legal battles.
During an election, allegations of voter fraud can significantly alter the outcome, and the media's response can have a profound impact on the candidates involved. The discussion revolves around an election where a Republican candidate, Ellen Sauerbrae, appeared to have won handily but later faced allegations of voter fraud in Baltimore City. The media's response was to move on quickly, labeling Sauerbrae as a sore loser, despite evidence of potential fraud. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing election integrity concerns and the potential consequences for candidates who speak out. Additionally, the discussion touches on past elections where similar issues have arisen, emphasizing the potential for legal battles and the media's role in shaping public perception.
Power grabs through violence and intimidation: The current political climate involves attempts to gain power through violence, intimidation, and destruction of public property, not limited to any particular cause or ideology.
The current political climate involves ongoing attempts by certain groups to intimidate, destroy public property, and gain power through violence and intimidation. This was exemplified by recent events in Washington D.C., where vandals attempted to establish an autonomous zone and destroy statues, including those of abolitionists and religious figures. These actions, which were initially framed as being about racial justice, have since morphed into a larger power grab. The left's tactics include intimidating corporations, schools, and public officials, and using their tech allies to silence opposition. This behavior is not limited to any particular cause or ideology and speaks to a deeper psychological issue or willingness to destroy the system. The ultimate goal appears to be a bid for power and control.
Protester uses racial slurs against black officer, Spygate allegations, Product endorsements: A protestor contradicted BLM's message by using racial slurs towards a black officer. Spygate allegations raise privacy concerns and suspicions of political bias. The host endorsed two health products from Brick House Nutrition.
During a protest, a white protester, who claims to support Black Lives Matter, was caught on camera using racial slurs towards a black police officer. This incident is disturbing and contradicts the message of equality and respect that Black Lives Matter stands for. Elsewhere in the discussion, it was revealed that the Trump campaign was allegedly spied on, a situation known as Spygate. The implications of this revelation are significant, as it raises concerns about privacy and potential political bias. Additionally, the host mentioned two products from Brick House Nutrition - Foundation and Field of Greens - which are claimed to improve physical performance and overall health. The host has used and endorsed these products for years.
FBI spy Stefan Halper's conflicting roles and Russian contact: FBI spy Stefan Halper, who was investigating Russian ties to the Trump team, was paid by both the FBI and Pentagon's ONA and listed a known Russian intelligence officer as a contact, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest and motivations behind the investigation.
During the investigation into the Trump team and alleged Russian collusion, Stefan Halper, a spy working for the FBI, was also being paid by the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment (ONA). Halper listed a known Russian intelligence officer, Vyekislav Trebnikov, as a possible reference for one of his ONA contracts. Senator Grassley, who was investigating these matters, asked the ONA for more information about Halper's contracts. The fact that Halper, who was trying to gather information on the Trump team regarding Russian ties, was being paid by both the FBI and the Pentagon while also citing a Russian intelligence officer as a contact, raises significant questions about potential conflicts of interest and the motivations behind the investigation. Additionally, there are unanswered questions about the relationship between Halper and Christopher Steele, another key figure in the Russian collusion narrative. The full details of these connections and how they were hidden from public view are explored in Dan Bonjino's upcoming book, "Follow the Money."
Questions about Downer's role in the Steele dossier: New information suggests Downer may have been a contact for Halper, not a source for Steele, casting doubt on the credibility of the dossier and the extent of Halper's involvement in its creation.
The connection between Christopher Steele and Alexander Downer (Trimnikov) in the creation of the Steele dossier may not be as clear-cut as previously believed. Steele's claims that Downer was a source for the dossier have been called into question, as Downer appears to have been a contact for George Papadopoulos (Halper) instead. This raises questions about the extent of Halper's involvement in the creation of the dossier and whether he may have provided significant information to Steele. The fact that the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment, which deals with high-level spies, was not aware of the public relationship between Halper and Downer adds to the confusion. This new information challenges the credibility of the dossier and the narrative that it was a product of a credible British intelligence officer. It also raises concerns about the use of taxpayer dollars to fund investigations that may have relied on potentially unreliable sources.
FBI's Double Standard in Russian Probe: The FBI's investigation into Russian collusion targeted individuals with minimal Russian contact, while a paid informant was not held accountable for potentially misusing taxpayer funds and mishandling sensitive data.
The FBI's investigation into Russian collusion with the Trump campaign led to the targeting of individuals like Michael Flynn, who had minimal contact with Russians, while a paid FBI and Pentagon informant, Stefan Halper, was not held accountable for potentially using taxpayer money to spy on the Trump team. Halper's contracting practices at the Office of Net Assessments were found to be loose, and he was later accused of mishandling sensitive data. Additionally, James Baker, who headed the Office of Net Assessments and was a friend to a Washington Post reporter, leaked a conversation between Flynn and the Russian Ambassador, which was used to prosecute Flynn. The scandal lies in the fact that the FBI and Pentagon paid Halper, while Hillary Clinton's campaign paid for the infamous Steele dossier. The inconsistencies and potential biases in these investigations are a significant concern and highlight the need for transparency and accountability.

50 vehicle ramming incidents since protests, not all drivers charged: Be cautious of sensationalized reporting and consider full context before jumping to conclusions
There have been reports of over 50 vehicle ramming incidents since nationwide protests began in late May. However, not all drivers have been charged, as they were often trying to escape violent protesters. NPR was criticized for using a Charlottesville photo to inflame the situation, when the original incident was a woman trying to save herself from violent criminals in Louisville. It was also revealed that only one of the 50 incidents involved a driver with extremist ties. The discussion also touched on the 1619 Project and a lead writer's promotion of a conspiracy theory on Twitter. Overall, it's important to be cautious of sensationalized reporting and to consider the full context of incidents before jumping to conclusions.
Claims of government using artillery against minority communities unfounded: Be cautious about spreading unverified info, gov't entities have distinct roles, police investigate, attorneys prosecute
There have been claims circulating, including from a New York Times history project writer, that the government is planning to use artillery against minority communities, leading to confusion and accusations of conspiracy theories. However, it was pointed out during the discussion that such large-scale military operations would be highly noticeable and likely to elicit significant media attention. Additionally, there have been instances of businesses, such as Valentino, leaving Manhattan's Fifth Avenue due to the impact of the coronavirus lockdown and looting. It's important to be cautious about spreading unverified information and to understand the roles and responsibilities of different government entities and personnel. The government system in the US separates law enforcement from prosecution, with police officers and federal agents investigating and arresting, and attorneys for the government prosecuting cases.
Federal Prosecutor Jeffrey Berman Ignored Serious Allegations Against Joe Biden: Despite receiving serious allegations of potential corruption involving Joe Biden and Burisma, federal prosecutor Jeffrey Berman took no action, raising questions about his motivations and handling of investigations.
During his tenure as a federal prosecutor, Jeffrey Berman was given serious allegations regarding potential corruption involving Joe Biden and Burisma, but did not follow up on them. This inaction raises questions about Berman's handling of the investigations and his motivations. The allegations included the falsification of evidence against Paul Manafort and efforts to make corruption allegations against Burisma disappear. Despite this, Berman took no action, leading some to question whether this played a role in his recent dismissal as the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. The lack of investigation into these serious allegations is concerning and warrants further scrutiny.
Criminals respond to incentives, not random factors: Fewer police interactions lead to more open carrying of guns by criminals, contributing to rising crime rates.
The increase in crime rates in cities like New York is not due to random factors or the weather getting warmer. Instead, it's a result of criminals responding to incentives. In the past, under aggressive policing, officers would respond to calls about public disturbances and engage in pat-downs, leading criminals to hide their guns. Now, with fewer interactions between the public and police, criminals are carrying their guns more openly. This is a simple explanation for the complex issue of rising crime rates, and it's essential to understand that most commentators who don't have police experience may not fully grasp this concept.
