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.

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’ plate this week.

49:45

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.

62:02

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 and the FEC quietly allowed FTX badboy Sam Bankman-Fried off the hook for campaign violations.

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.

44:13

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.

53:27

Ever feel like we’re all in a simulation and everything is just falling apart? There’s a lot to bug Dennis this week – from Hunter Biden flipping off Congress to the far left circling the wagons around Harvard President Claudine Gay.

Then we talk to former Federal Prosecutor Doug Burns who says you shouldn’t trust the legal analysis you’re getting from the media on the trials of Donald Trump.

54:09

The Presidents of Penn, Harvard and MIT gave a cringe-worthy performance on the Hill this week and the drip, drip, drip of Biden corruption evidence continues to pile up.

And one month out of the Iowa Caucuses we’re joined by GOP campaign consultant Luke Ball to talk the state of the race and the state of the slim majority in the House of Representatives. (Note: The Trump 2024 campaign is a client of Ball’s company, Masonboro Strategies.)

Turkey Day is behind us and we’re back to business. Elon Musk has gone to war – with Media Matters, with the woke corporations being manipulated by them and literally walking into a war zone in Israel.

At home we check in for the latest from Arizona politics with fellow podcaster Amber May and then Dennis fights a little battle of his own – with a billionaire of a different stripe.
