That title sounds gross lol
I will talk about this in greater detail during today’s show.
Goodwill, credibility and integrity are invaluable intangible assets that take years to develop. Not everyone is capable of developing them, because not everyone has character.
@dbongino has deservedly earned his goodwill, credibility, and integrity through years of life experience, incredible insight, and thoughtful analysis. One does not get to disregard all of that because you might disagree - even vehemently - with him on a specific issue.
We heard what he had to say about Epstein.
He says he believes Epstein killed himself.
I vehemently disagree with this statement, specifically because even if Epstein did “kill himself” literally - with the extra linens that were inexplicably provided to him, after the cell cameras malfunctioned, and the security guards slept - though he may have “killed himself” in the literal semantical sense, it is inaccurate in the material sense.
It was an inside job to tie up loose ends.
But Bongino says he believes Epstein killed himself.
He is either right or wrong.
If he is right, OK. If he is wrong it, so be it. People are entitled to be wrong from time to time. Absolutely nobody is perfect or infallible on every issue.
The bigger issue is whether or not he sincerely believes Epstein killed himself, or if he doesn’t believe it but is saying it for other as-of-yet unknown reasons,m.
There could be a number of reasons for this, some tactical, others sinister.
But with the goodwill he has developed over years, sacrificing it all to serve country, the fair thing would be to presume there is a good reason for which he might say this even if he doesn’t truly sincerely believe it.
And for that, we will need to wait.
If it were anyone from the Biden regime or MSM trying to convince me Epstein actually killed himself, I would laugh them out of the room.
I still don’t believe it, even coming from Dan. But he deserves the benefit of the doubt until definitive proof to the contrary.
My humble two cents that absolutely no one asked for.
When you thought it couldn't get any worse in Canada...
I just listened to Jim Acosta’s interview with the AI version of Joaquin, the victim of the Parkland shooting, and his father.
I do not know how parents cope with such loss, and I do not think it is for anybody to question how anyone grieves the loss of a loved one - though I am skeptical that creating an AI version of a lost loved one is healthy or productive as relates to the grieving process.
From a journalistic and political perspective:
I was going to give Jim a hard time for somehow turning a five minute interview of an AI version of a deceased child into an interview of him, but I suspect that was in the programming of the AI…
And I appreciate he was doing this interview as a favor to the wishes of the father.
That said, the “interview” was an abomination, and something about it feels fundamentally sacrilegious and immoral. Creating an AI version of a dead child to literally use for political purposes.
To create social media accounts in the name and likeness of the deceased, where, as ...
I did a quick hit on Richard Syrette yesterday. Gotta keep Canadians apprised of the U.S. madness.

Art of the Day: The Baptism of the Rus, a moment so monumental, they made literary traditions and even films about it. The fresco dons the St. Vladimir Cathedral…in Kiev. Prince Vladimir’s conversion to Orthodox Christianity aligned the eastern Slavs toward the west culturally and away from the east. Guess where they were baptized? In the Denier River in the heart of Ukraine.
Wisdom of the Day: “Both for historical and institutional reasons, the U.S. political system—and, for that matter, much of the U.S. business community—is ill-suited for producing well-designed “grand strategies.” Kevin Phillips.
