What's Bugging Me

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...

We're talking all things naked this week... from naked porn stars on the stand to naked short selling in the markets... we cover things as best as we can. Plus, in the Parting Shot, the naked brazenous of stoking fear among Americans for political gain.

Don't fall for it. Everything is not as it appears. Somebody is setting us up to fall and Dennis doesn't like it.  In this week's interview we talk to Jeremy Carl , a Senior Fellow at the Claremont Institute, about his new book, The Unprotected Class: How Anti-White Racism Is Tearing America Apart. Victor Davis Hanson calls it, "A prescient, landmark book that finally calls out those who for far t...

Dennis takes you on a whirlwind tour this week - from the courtrooms and campuses of colleges in New York to the power centers in Washington to Australia's sunny shores. Plus, we update you on our pursuit of justice for the MMTLP Army and their newest ally in the fight against the insidious practice of naked short selling: Donald Trump. John Tabacco fills us in.

This week Dennis is casting a very wide net and reeling in stuff that... well, stinks like dead fish. From jury selection in the Trump criminal trial in NY to the new CEO of National Public Radio to the SCOTUS arguments on the J6 convictions to the foreign policy of the Biden Administration... it all smells to high heaven.  And we're taking a deep dive into the mess Biden is making of the Middle E...

Elon Musk makes the battle for free speech international to the halls of Brazil's Supreme Court (Ordem e Progresso!) while an editor at National Public Radio in Washington laments the fall of the free press at home. And former U.S. Comptroller General David M. Walker returns to put a 2040 deadline on the ticking time bomb that is the National Debt of the United States.

Gag orders and conflicts of interest abound in the latest round of Donald Trump's legal saga, and boy, is Dennis bugged abou that. This week's interview segment highlights the perniciousness of the DEI agenda: Former Werner Enterprises board member Vikram Mansharamani talks about his exit from the company and its "unquestioned dedication to ESG considerations as a primary strategy, and the refusal...

Horror of horrors! NBC News hires and fires a Republican after on-air talent throws a fit. Who's running the asylum? Then we talk to Karen England of the Capitol Resource Institute about the battle for parental rights in America's schools. All that and the Parting Shot.

It's a classic case of good news and bad news. First the bad: If oral arguments are any indication of where the cause of free speech stands at the Supreme Court, we could be in deep, deep trouble. On the good news front, if you're one of the 1.3 million men who take Viagra, a Cleveland Clinic study says you may be lowering your risk of Alzheimer's. Alyssia Finley of the Wall Street Journal stops b...

In 2020 the city of New York broke 75.7 to 22.6% for Joe Biden. It's safe to say that at least some of those Trump votes came from the city's first responders. We'll take a look at the reaction to NYAG Letitia James' appearance at the FDNY promotion ceremony. And speaking of broke, Special Counsel Robert Hur's testimony before a House committee seems to have broken a lot of people. All that and th...

Legal immunity has been in the news quite a lot lately - what does it mean when you're dealing with quasi-government agencies and officials that have it? Well, it can mean the deck is stacked against you before the game has even begun. California lawyer Richard Hofman was caught up in the MMTLP fiasco and went after his broker - what he learned in the process may shock you. Plus Dennis' take on Su...

Mitch McConnell ain't gone... but he's got one foot out the door. Google Gemini is really gone. As in gone crazy woke. The tech giant has had to pull its entry in the A.I. sweepstakes as the results turned out to be downright embarrassing. Plus the MMTLP army continues to patrol the halls and offices of Congress. All that and the parting shot... Love ya, Mom!

When you invite too many foxes into the henhouse, pretty soon you run out of chickens - and the goose laying the golden egg. There are too many foxes now - in prosecutor's offices, in the regulatory agencies and in the media - and we're calling them out. We talk to longtime market investors William Farrand and HAMShortkiller (and, yes, we know his real identity) about how short sellers in the mark...

They say silence itself can be deafening. We are pulling out all the stops and grabbing the bullhorn. Our focus this week is on stories you may not be getting from your evening MSM newscast. We'll talk about the latest from the tag team reporting of Michael Shellenberger and Matt Taibbi, update you on the #MMTLP saga, and finally take you into a ghost town on the Israeli border with Gaza. Our gues...

We bring in another set of eyes this week to look at the MMTLP fiasco: Kristen Shaughnessy has been covering this story long before it got on our radar. Just a couple of journalists on the hunt for the truth. But we open the show with more evidence of government censorship. First there was Twitter and Facebook and now they want to police what you can find and buy on Amazon. But don't get too depre...

January 31st was the deadline for both the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to answer questions about their handling of the MMTLP affair. Representative Ralph Norman (R - SC5) joins us to talk about the response (or lack thereof) and where Congress should proceed from here. Can you say "subpoenas?" Plus there's a whole lot more on Dennis' p...

We touch a bit on politics as we put the first primary into the rear view mirror; offer our weekly MMTLP story update and then talk to Dani Pascarella, CFP of OneEleven about helping you achieve your American Dream. All that and the Parting Shot.

Something smells out on the street - and we're talking Wall Street. While others dismiss it, there's something rotten going on around the merger of Torchlight Energy Resources and MetaMaterials and the short selling of stock shares that were never meant to hit the market. Investment houses such as Fidelity and Black Rock walked away whole while thousands of ordinary investors got hosed. Dennis Kne...

Something is bugging Dennis a lot this week: It's how 65,000 investors in tiny Torchlight Energy got crushed by greedy short sellers and imperious regulators at a Federal agency few people have even heard about. And now What's Bugging Me is helping them Stand up, Fight Back and Be Heard. Newsmax host and Wall Street "Wise Guy" Johnny Tabacco joins us with more on this saga - plus the way the DOJ a...

Claudine Gay resigns the presidency of Hah-vahd and the left melts down. Well, tough. We're determined to make 2024 a "Year of Accountability" and this is a great start. In our interview segment we talk to Doug Drysdale, the CEO of Cybin, Inc., a Canadian pharmaceutical company that's tackling depression and PTSD with a new generation of drugs derived from psychedelics. Then in the Parting Shot we...

Depending on your politcs, the Colorado Supreme Court either gave you an early Christmas gift or the court is run by The Grinch. Dennis has thoughts. Then in our continuing series about reinventing your life we talk to Neil Ruddy, who went from stuntman to news producer - after the age of 50. And in the Parting Shot, Dennis revels in the customer "service" of the United States Government. Ho, Ho,...
