Description

Corporations are people, my friend... and so is Governor Mitt Romney. That's the thesis of MITT (2014), a fawning documentary about the Bain Capital founder's two presidential bids. By revealing nothing, this all-access portrait reveals more than it thinks. PLUS: we check in on the original 6ix Dad, and measure the temperature of some 2020 hopefuls.

It’s Worse Than We Thought (Ep 1060): In this episode, I address the outrageous comments by the 2020 candidates for President at the CNN townhall yesterday. I also cover the dangers of this economic shift happening around the world. Finally, I address the critical lawsuit against the Spygate plotters which could expose a dark secret. News Picks:You’ll never guess who the liberal Chicago Mayor is blaming for gun control failures. The Jim Comey spying operation on President Trump is worse than we thought. Was Jim Comey running a rogue spying operation on the White House? Crazy Bernie Sanders wants population control measures. This piece debunks the silly overpopulation myth.

The Real Joe Biden Story isnt Pretty # 966 (Ep 966): In this episode I address the Joe Biden campaign announcement for President and the many scandals he’ll have to deal with. I also address the key question being left out of the debate about Spygate scandal. News Picks:Joe Biden jumps in the Presidential race. Disgraced former FBI Director Jim Comey donated thousands to this Democrat presidential candidate. Bernie Sanders’ insane new plan would allow 183,000 convicted murderers to vote from prison. Unsurprisingly, it looks like the “Trump tapes” rumor was nonsense the entire time. Copyright Dan Bongino All Rights Reserved. by The Dan Bongino Show
