I'm not sure what to make of Bongino after watching the begining of his show Ep 1712. He's called out Putin before as being a bad guy, and I'm sure he's no angel, but in this episode it's about Russia invading Ukraine. I couldn't watch it all as it he about seemed to be a mouthpiece for MSM.
No way he's oblivious to all the shenanigans going on in the Ukraine with his background, but for him to harp on Putin and not offering any conjecture as to why Putin is "invading" led me to think maybe, just maybe, Bongino is "softpilling" people, not quite red, not quite blue, yet arousing people but not fully awakening.
Here's a link to the video I'm referencing: https://rumble.com/vvrbo3-ep.-1712-war-in-ukraine-the-dan-bongino-show.html
Don't get me wrong, I've liked Bongino thus far, although only started listening a few months ago, but this episode has me wondering just where he stands.
Here's my comment on the video:
God bless you and your work brother. Typically, I enjoy your shows but am having a hard time with this one. I've been seeing a lot of things coming out about Ukraine, as well as remnants of past "conspiracy theories". So, what if the Ukraine has been a hot spot for international crimes, money laundering, etc., for the likes of Biden, WEF, and other corrupt politicians. What if Putin's moves are to liberate Ukrainians from the festering swamp there? There's so much subterfuge going on, I don't think anyone can say with any certainty what's happening, but things are more rotten in Ukraine than even Denmark.
He fell for the snake island story and repeated it on his show. I can't see how you could go from talking about not trusting the media, and pointing out its lies with the whole SpyGate saga one day, and then repeating everything the MSM is spouting about Putin the next. Unless he's got some sort of inside knowledge about things Putin has done that backup his claims, then he's not doing anything different from what MSM is doing right now. If he does have proof to backup those claims, then its completely worthless if he's just keeping it to himself.
I'm like you. Just can't seem to make sense of the guy. He says a lot of good, but also has times like now where it's just confusing. It's hard to imagine he's just that stupid. There's got to be more to this.
Also, you mentioned you just started listening. His show goes through these cycles where he's just spot on, and then the next day just leaves you completely scratching your head.
I quit watching due too his run up analogies, worse than Rachel maddow!
He seems like a patriot, I stopped listening to him after he rolled over on the 2020 election fraud. I also felt like I could easily predict his take on any given issue and wasn't gaining anything from his show, I don't think he is as insightful or as entertaining as Limbaugh was.
He's also vaccinated. I think he's just oblivious in a lot of ways.
Limbaugh was awesome. I think he was redpilled to some degree (hard to say how much) but knew that it wouldn't go well over the airways.
Like Hannity he will only go so far out on a limb...either truth matters all of the time or it doesn't and in his case there are certain truths he won't touch with a 10 ft pole. Like he acknowedges that Obama chose Renegade for a SS handle but if Obama broke rules the SS's cone of silence is in play and that is considered honorable by their standards even if they aide a cover up. So he's already lived in environment designed to overlook the actions of others and that bugs me on some level.
Paytriot at best - more likely controlled opposition.
I always remember he was secret service for Obama.
Biden did something inappropriate to his wife. Mentioned it on day on his show, he did not say it was his wife, but the laser eyes told you so.
I think he is there to lead normies by the hand.
In my quest to redpill Normies I have had to use the same tactic. I have to concede and sound like I’m just so confused and end with something just ain’t right. Or I throw in a couple MSM talking points that they can relate to. It worked like magic on my doctor. It takes longer this way, it took 3 appointments for him to finally say Fauci is a crook and the CDC is politicized. Up until that point he refuse to write me a letter for my waiver. Finally he said yeah this ain’t right and gave me the letter I needed. My boss and mother in law took a little longer and my step kids mother is one of the ones lost forever. I gave up on her sadly. But I can’t waste my time on someone who is just that completely brainwashed
He works for Fox

I too have been a Dan Bongino Show listener since he first came on the airwaves some 7 or 8 months ago. And I too have heard him over the last few days and thought that he's a bit off-track when he discusses Ukraine and Russia. I don't know if it's that he is not aware of the subplots that we seem to take for granted, or that he believes the MSM narrative....after deriding the MSM narrative for so long.
Where does he get his information, I wonder? I think he even cited a CNN poll recently as if it were valid. C'mon, Dan... CNN??!! Really?!
It may be that Dan is really more politically naive than we knew. I (and we) can discern truths from falsehoods, AND from poor interpretations. I think Dan has done the latter.... taken information from unreliable sources and drawn poor interpretations. He may be just old school enough to think "Russia BAD" and unable to change his paradigm with changing world events.
The whole network needs cleansing.
I think he's a good guy but your getting a normie perspective of events. He doesn't acknowledge Q or any election fraud either at least I don't think he does. Kind of like Sean Hannity.
Maybe you'll figure out the truth if you keep watching Fox.
I'm so grateful you guys are paying attention
