What's Bugging Me

Everything is in a crisis! Don't believe us? Just listen to the news. The trick is separating the real ones (the deficit, the southern border, etc) from the fake ones (like "climate change.") We'll take you through the lot.

We do have a looming energy crisis - mostly of our own making - and our guests this week are proposing a solution: nuclear microreactors. James Walker and Jay Yu of Nano Nuclear Energy tell us all about it.

All this plus the Parting Shot.

The debt of the United States has become staggering. As of 28. September 2023 it stands at over $33 Trillion - that's over $99,000 for each and every American. Former Comptroller of the US David M. Walker joins us to talk about how we get our fiscal house in order before it's too late - and why amending the Constitution may be our only hope.

Plus, a judge rules Donald Trump committed fraud, Dirty Joe shuffles on the UAW picket lines and the Parting Shot.

From bald-faced liars in government to unethical hit jobs by the media, Dennis has had enough.

Plus we talk to Herb Greenberg, Editor with Empire Financial Research and CNBC contributor about the economy and Bill Spadea, Republican activist and morning drive host on New Jersey 101.5 FM.

Pull up a "barstool" and listen to this week's "Brand" of Parting Shot.

Waylon and Willie were wrong. Mammas should definitely let their babies grow up to be cowboys. And we've got the real thing on this week's show - Vance W. Boyd - cattleman, actor (1883), pro rodeo man and now candidate for Congress - who joins us to talk about two problems facing America, namely a lack of masculine men and the healthcare crisis in our rual areas.

Then we talk to inventor Arthur Lih about a medical device he created that has saved hundreds of lives - and how you can get one for your local school absolutely free.

Plus Congress inches closer to another impeachment and Elon Musk is accused of running his own foreign policy.

This week Dennis finishes up his conversation with former Wall Street Journal scribe Jon Hilsenrath on the state of the media, and then talks to Amanda Rutledge of Tours of Duty, an organization dedicated to repatriating the remains of an estimated 38,000 POW/MIAs classified as “recoverable” by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency.

But you know something is bugging Dennis and this week that's the war of words that's erupted between Elon Musk and Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League.

All that and the Parting Shot.

It's a holiday weekend and Dennis is in a mood. A good mood!

We're going to hear from different voices than we usually do - voices you don't usually hear from in the mainstream media - the voices of common Americans. And we also hear from Lizzy Morris, a woman whose life hit a real crisis during Covid to the point that she thought of ending it. Hear how she pulled herself back from the brink.

All that and the Parting Shot.

Debate season is here, but the frontrunner was a no-show. Dennis reviews the proceedings but not before he talks about what is not debatable - our basic constitutional rights - and how the raid on the Marion County (KS) Record is something to be resisted with every ounce of our beings.

This week we talk to Matt Kim of Atlanta, GA about his Twitter rant that went viral and with leading media attorney Lynn Oberlander about the Kansas newspaper raid.

All that and the Parting Shot on the woes of retail: "The Problem That Shall Not Be Named."

You get to indict! You get to indict! EVERYBODY gets to indict! And Fani makes four.
But you know what really bugs Dennis? The rank hypocrisy of a party that has its own share of "election deniers."

In the interview chair this week, Dr. Nicholas Nicosia, a Rochester, NY dentist who got caught in the middle of a fight between the City and one of its firefighters and a charge of racism that cost him around a third of his practice. Then Jon Hilsenrath, late of the Wall Street Journal, comes in to talk about his old beat: The Federal Reserve.

All that and a unifying Parting Shot.

Nothing bugs Dennis more than the current state of journalism and he concentrates fire this week on the contrasting coverage of the last two Presidents of these United States. And for pure fun he invites old friend Jim Iuorio to chime in - with the additional bonus of a little Fed analysis.

Then we talk personal economy with Natalie Pace about getting your house in order before retirement.

All that an and a grateful Parting Shot.

Bad news for Joe? Indict Trump. More bad news for Joe? Indict Trump again.

What's bugging Dennis? Try the political equivalent of Ground Hog Day.

We'll talk with Kim Strassel about that and her new book, The Biden Malaise, plus Ed Butowsky looks optimistically upon the market but seens warning signs in real estate and credit card debt.

All that and The Parting Shot.
