    • Russia Hoax Resurfaces in Media, Dan Bongino DisappointedMedia continues to push the debunked Russia hoax, encouraging people to be cautious of their personal information and fact-check information to avoid falling for misinformation campaigns.

      The Russia hoax, a debunked allegation of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, is being resurrected by media outlets such as The New York Times. Dan Bongino, the host of the Bongino Show, expresses his disappointment towards those who still believe the misinformation spread by these media outlets, which he believes is driven by a liberal agenda to take down Donald Trump. He emphasizes the importance of protecting personal information, particularly during tax season, using services like LifeLock. Despite the ongoing attempts to revive the Russia hoax, Bongino encourages his audience to seek accurate information and not fall victim to gaslighting and lying campaigns.

    • Russian interference reports should be evaluated criticallyBe cautious of Russian interference reports, as they may be politically motivated and lack credible sources

      The recent reports of Russian interference in the 2020 election to reelect President Trump should be taken with a grain of salt. The sources of these reports, which have angered the President, are the same sources that promoted the discredited collusion hoax between Trump and Russia in the past. Devin Nunes, a Congressman, pointed out that there were no rumors of Russian interference during the 2018 elections when Democrats did well, but now that the Democrats are struggling in the current election cycle, the rumors have resurfaced. It is important to critically evaluate the sources and context of such reports to avoid being played as "suckers" by the media. The recent allegations of Russian interference may be politically motivated and should not be accepted at face value.

    • Media misrepresents Russian interference in US electionsRussian interference in US elections is complex and not solely favoring Republicans, contradicting media narrative, and recent claims of Russian meddling in 2020 election to re-elect Trump are not accurate.

      While it is stipulated that Russia interferes in elections, the suggestion that they are the sole reason for certain election outcomes, particularly in favor of President Trump, is not supported by the intelligence. The media narrative that Russia only interferes when Republicans are elected is a misrepresentation. Furthermore, the recent leak to the New York Times about Russian meddling in the 2020 election to re-elect Trump is not accurate according to the speaker's sources. The Russians may see Trump as a deal maker, but this does not equate to interference in the election. The speaker emphasizes that precision matters and that the media's portrayal of the situation is not an accurate representation of the intelligence briefing. The Democrats' poor performance in the recent debate and the subsequent need to change the narrative may be contributing to the spread of this misinformation.

    • Rumors of Russian Preference for Trump UnfoundedIntelligence briefings suggest Putin may see Trump's deal-making abilities as an advantage, but there's no evidence Russians prefer him over Sanders or are colluding.

      The idea that the Russians prefer Donald Trump over Bernie Sanders based on recent intelligence briefings is not supported by the facts. A Republican congressman who was present in the briefing stated that there is no real-world argument for why Putin would want Trump over Sanders. The Russians are aware of Trump's deal-making abilities, but this does not mean they prefer him over Sanders or are engaged in collusion. The media's focus on this issue may be driven by a desire to change the narrative away from the disastrous Democratic debate and the ongoing criticism of Joe Biden. It's important to critically evaluate information from various sources and not jump to conclusions based on sensational headlines.

    • Deep concern over potential Sanders nominationSpeakers worry Sanders' socialist views would lead to Trump reelection, criticize Democratic leadership for losing direction, argue for clear opposition to socialism and markets, and warn of potential shifts to Republican states.

      The speakers expressed deep concern about the potential Democratic nomination of Bernie Sanders, believing it would lead to a disastrous election outcome for the Democratic Party. They view Sanders as an anarchist and socialist who would love to burn down the United States, and argue that nominating him would be a death sentence for the party and result in Donald Trump's reelection. The speakers also criticized Democratic Party leadership, particularly Tom Perez, for losing their way and being unable to effectively challenge Sanders. They argue that Democrats must be clear in their opposition to socialism and the markets, and that states like New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Virginia could potentially shift back to the Republican column if Sanders is the nominee. Overall, the speakers believe that elections should be about ideas, but Democrats always try to disguise their socialist agenda with emotional appeals and accusations of racism.

    • Media Blames Russia for Democratic Debate Disaster and Bernie Sanders' Front-Runner StatusThe media is attempting to shift focus from the Democrats' disastrous debate and Bernie Sanders' front-runner status by blaming Russia for interference. Democrats fear American reaction to Sanders' socialist ideas and are preparing for a potential loss by refocusing on the Russia hoax. Support companies like Patriot Mobile that align with our values.

      The ongoing political discourse revolves around attempts to change the narrative from the disastrous Democratic debate and Bernie Sanders' front-runner status. The Russians are once again being blamed for interference, and this narrative is being pushed by the New York Times and other media outlets. Bernie Sanders is consistently presenting his socialist ideas openly, and the Democrats fear the American public's reaction to these ideas. They are preparing for the possibility of a loss in the election by shifting the focus back to the Russia hoax. Additionally, it is important to support companies like Patriot Mobile that align with our values and beliefs.

    • Appointment of Grinnell and Patel for intelligence community cleanupTwo key figures, Grinnell and Patel, have been appointed to clean up the intelligence community, specifically DNI operations, indicating a push for accountability and transparency.

      Rick Grinnell and Cash Patel, two key figures, have been appointed to clean up the intelligence community, specifically the DNI operations, which have expanded significantly since 2005. Grinnell, currently the US Ambassador to Germany, and Patel, who played a crucial role in exposing the Spygate scandal, are tasked with "cleaning house." The appointment of these two individuals indicates a push for accountability and transparency within the intelligence community. The left is growing increasingly worried about this development, as evidenced by the reactions of journalists like Natasha Bertrand, who have been promoting a left-leaning narrative regarding Russian collusion and other hoaxes. Stay informed and stay vigilant as these events unfold.

    • Democrats targeting former Nunes aide Cash Patel over Russia probe involvementDemocrats are targeting a former Nunes aide, Cash Patel, for his role in exposing potential wrongdoing during the Russia probe. Actors like James Woods are pointing out the financial implications of Bernie Sanders' proposals.

      Cash Patel, a former NSC official and key aide to Devin Nunes, is causing concern for Democrats due to his knowledge of events surrounding the Russia probe and alleged "Spygate." Patel is now a senior advisor to the new acting DNI, Richard Grenell. Democrats, who have long promoted the Russia hoax narrative, are now trying to discredit Patel and his role in exposing potential wrongdoing. Meanwhile, actor James Woods highlighted the financial inconsistencies in Bernie Sanders' proposals for a $15 minimum wage and free healthcare, demonstrating the potential financial strain caused by such policies.

    • Bernie Sanders' proposals could leave some individuals making less than minimum wageBernie Sanders' proposed $15 minimum wage and healthcare plan might result in some individuals making less than the federal minimum wage, illustrating the importance of evaluating financial implications of political plans.

      Under Bernie Sanders' proposed $15 minimum wage and healthcare plan, some individuals could end up making less than the federal minimum wage. James Woods calculated that an individual making $31,200 a year, after subtracting taxes for Bernie's proposed plans, would make $288 per week, which is below the federal minimum wage of $725 per hour. This illustrates the potential financial impact of Sanders' proposals. It's essential to consider the financial implications of political plans, as they can significantly impact our livelihoods. Additionally, ExpressVPN was highlighted as a top VPN provider due to its commitment to user privacy, fast speeds, and ease of use.

    • Ukrainian Oligarch's Bank Linked to Suspicious Payments to Hunter Biden's CompanyAllegations of money laundering involving Igor Kolomiski's Prevat Bank and Hunter Biden's Burisma, totaling over $16 million, were flagged by the Latvian government.

      There are allegations of a massive money laundering scandal involving Ukrainian oligarch Igor Kolomiski and his bank, Prevat Bank, which was under investigation for fraud. Suspicious payments totaling over $16 million were routed from companies in Belize and the United Kingdom to Hunter Biden's company, Burisma, through Prevat Bank between 2012 and 2015. This information was flagged by the Latvian government's investigative unit. The Democrats' focus on Ukraine in the impeachment hoax may be related to this scandal, as George Soros, a business rival of Kolomiski, is also mentioned in relation to information sharing and potential quid pro quos. The question remains whether our government is for sale to the highest bidder or donor, and these allegations raise concerns about potential corruption and collusion.

    • Allegations of large-scale fraud involving a bank and Hunter Biden's suspicious paymentsMedia's focus on unrelated issues obscures substantial allegations of financial misconduct against Biden's son and a bank, with official documents detailing $14.8 million in suspicious payments and investigations ongoing despite media claims otherwise

      The alleged involvement of a bank in large-scale fraud and the routing of payments to multiple countries, including those ending up in the pocket of Hunter Biden, former Vice President Joe Biden's son, raises questions about the transparency and accountability of financial transactions. Despite the significant nature of these allegations, the media has focused on unrelated issues, such as Russian collusion hoaxes. Rudy Giuliani, a key figure in the investigation, has obtained official government documents from Latvia detailing suspicious payments totaling $14.8 million through three banks. However, the media has failed to request access to these documents or question their authenticity. The media narrative that investigations into Biden's son were closed down when Biden demanded the prosecutor's firing is also false. In fact, Biden was under investigation for substantial money laundering activities at the time. Giuliani's possession of official subpoenas from Ukraine further supports these claims. The media's lack of interest in these substantial allegations raises concerns about their commitment to factual reporting and transparency.

    • Investigation into Biden sphere's money laundering not closed despite reportsDespite claims that an investigation into alleged money laundering involving individuals in the Biden sphere is closed, evidence suggests otherwise. Economic growth under Trump defied expectations, and black workers' wages have grown faster than white workers' under his administration, contradicting Obama's claims.

      The ongoing investigation into alleged money laundering involving individuals in the Biden sphere, which led to raids and subpoenas, contradicts claims that the investigation was closed. Rudy Giuliani, who has been involved in the investigation, has obtained subpoenas and documents related to the case. The implication here is that the investigation is not closed as some reports suggest. Furthermore, an article in the Washington Examiner challenges the narrative that Trump's economic success is due to Obama's policies. The article points out that economic forecasters did not expect continued expansion after Obama left office, but the opposite happened under Trump. Additionally, black workers have seen their wages grow faster than those of white workers under Trump, and the bottom 10% of workers' wages have risen faster than the top 10%. These facts contradict Obama's claims about reducing income inequality. Overall, it's important to be aware of misinformation and to fact-check claims made by the media and politicians.

    • Childhood memory of a doctor's dream and Paula's impactAppreciate inspiring figures and experiences, even if unconventional. Seek out new sources of inspiration and knowledge.

      Living a meaningful life involves paying attention to the people and experiences that resonate with us, even if they may not be conventional or immediately understandable. This was illustrated in a childhood memory shared on the Dan Bongino Show about a doctor's dream and a woman named Paula. The importance of seeking out and learning from inspiring figures, like Jocko Willink, was also emphasized, as Dan promised an upcoming interview with him on leadership and shared a sneak peek into their conversation. Overall, the message was to appreciate the people and experiences that matter to us, and to continue seeking out new sources of inspiration and knowledge. Don't miss Dan's interview with Jocko Willink on YouTube, and tune in to Hannity tonight for more.
