What's Bugging Me

Can we have a normal news week? Biden says, "I quit," and Cacklin' Kamala rises, Bibi comes to DC and the protests get ugly. 

Then we talk to former NSA tech guru William Binney about how your government is spying on you and why you shouldn't believe their stories and explanations.

All that and the Parting Shot. You want a president or a priest?

There is but one story on the docket: The attempted assassination of Donald Trump just as he prepared to leave for Milwaukee to accept his party's nomination for the third time.

The media melted down, Joe Biden got (at least) a temporary respite from the debate debacle, and X lit up with all sorts of conspiracy theories. We cover those three bases and then Dennis brings them home with the Parting Shot on rhetoric and the power of Elon.

It's been a week but we're still in a Fourth of July mood. We welcome NewsMax anchor and former Navy Seal Carl Higbie to talk about his new book, Profiles in Freedom: Heroes Who Shaped America.

And speaking of the last week, it's been quite the week for the Biden campaign as the President seems to make everything worse with every media appearance he makes.

All that and the Parting Shot. Why should you care?

Mumbling, incoherent and confused... but enough about our debate experience. Let's talk about the mess in Atlanta at the earliest Presidential Debate on record. It was President v President and the media was not happy with Joe Biden's performance.

We cover the other news of the week and touch on a new development in the MMTLP saga.

We have all sorts of scams on tap this week - including the president's re-election campaign.

But we concentrate on the financial kind with an update on the MMTLP scandal and a talk with the Wall Street Journal's Feliz Solomon on her story about "pig butchering," the practice of fattening up a mark in a financial scam and then taking the sucker for all he's worth.

Plus, the Parting Shot - Why haven't we met before?

Hunter Biden gets convicted on three felonies - is it justice or just a distraction from the bigger picture?

Then we talk to NewsMax CEO Chris Ruddy about politics, the state of cable TV news and the future of his company, plus a candid discussion of the legal problems surrounding coverage of the 2020 presidential election.

All this, plus the Parting Shot.

The Democrats wanted a conviction. Are they really happy?

And we speak to Amb. Alberto Fernandez of the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). His organization looks past what Muslim leaders say to the West and concentrate on what they say to each other.

All that plus the Parting Shot.

We publish as the Trump fraud trial in NY enters its second day of deliberations. So, we get right to the matter at hand with famed defense attorney Alan Dershowitz.

Plus a look at the circus inside and outside of the courtroom and, of course, the Parting Shot.

We review a strange week at the NY Trump trial and then Dennis talks to old WSJ colleague Larry Ingrassia about solving a cancer mystery that plagued his family.

And in the Parting Shot, has one of America's best known liberal comedians taken the Red Pill?

The kitty roars and short-sellers start panicking. One tweet Sunday night sent Game Stop stock soaring and it's 2021 all over again. Plus Dennis has a beef with his congressman over the current Trump trial in NY.

Then we talk to Rick McCawley, a Photographer, Design Thinker and Professor of Graphic Design at Broward College, about how you can best ride the A.I. wave.

All that and the parting shot.
