What’s Bugging Me

What’s bugging Dennis Kneale this week?

How about an incumbent president that’s so weak 70% of voters don’t want him to run? Or how about the guy who runs three $B companies only to be relentlessly attacked by minor shareholders who he’s enriched 5-fold? Oh, and have you heard the one about Tucker Carlson?

This week Dennis dishes on the settlement between Dominion Voting Systems and his former employer and then wonders about whether we or A.I. will be the masters of the future.

Mike Ozanian of Forbes SportsMoney drops by to talk about the $6B price tag on the Washington Commanders, the unique place in our culture of the National Football League and the collapse of the Regional Sports Network business as Bally Sports goes belly up and Warner Bros. Discovery bails.

Dennis Kneale says the backlash against the “Transtifa” agenda has begun – and that’s a good thing. Plus: Will the Fed be stupid enough to ignore lower inflation just reported?

Our interview segment this week is with Atlanta-area radio host Alan Sanders on the Nashville protests, gun rights and just desserts.

It’s a week of bicoastal outrage on What’s Bugging Me, as Dennis Kneale laments the circus Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is creating in his political prosecution of Donald Trump and mourns the death of tech entrepreneur Bob Lee on the streets of San Francisco.

In this week’s interview segment Dennis talks to financial reporter John Carney on Wall Street’s deafness towards what the Fed is saying – and how they’re going to pay for it later on.

In this special April 1st Weekend Edition of our show, Dennis has thoughts on the Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s indictment of Donald Trump. Plus Jay Singh of Special Situations Research and Neil Weinberg, financial reporter and former Editor-in-chief at American Banker weigh in on the latest banking crisis.

All this plus the Parting Shot.

Dennis is bugged by a lot of things, but particularly the idea being pushed by some that the real victim in the Nashville shooting this week was the perpetrator.

The rest of the show is devoted to the malign regime in Beijing, their propagandizing in the US and the trouble with trying to regulate it. Plus Carole Sumner Krechman joins the show to talk about her time as a resident in China and witnessing the Tiananmen Square massacre.

What else would be bugging Dennis Kneale more than the Fed’s tone-deaf rate increase, the Trump arrest threat, and more Twitter Files revelations?

And we welcome back bestselling author Joanne Lipman with a special look at reinventing yourself, a subject our intrepid host knows a thing or two.

John Cardillo, a man who knows Trump and knows law enforcement in NYC, joins Dennis for special episode to talk about what’s going on in the Manhattan DA’s office. Who’s calling the shots on the potential indictment and arrest of a former President of the United States? The former NYPD officer weighs in.

Our regular show posts on Thursday as usual!

Silicon Valley Bank has dominated the news cycle for the last week but Dennis Kneale wants to get to the real causes of the collapse of SVB. Was it “Go Woke, Go Broke?” Fed craziness? Bad management? All of the above? Chapwood Investments founder Ed Butowsky and ex-CNBC trading expert Jim Iuorio bring the double-barrelled insights on the immediate implications and what the next moves should be.

All that and the Parting Shot: “Avoid” the panic!

What’s bugging Dennis this week? Government suppression of information for one. The FTC has sent dozens of letters demanding internal memos and the names of all reporters the company had granted access to the “Twitter Files.” House Republicans call it “an aggressive campaign to harass” the social media giant into not revealing the extent of government coercion under the previous Twitter leadership. And then there’s the J6 tapes…

In our interview segment we’re joined by Doug Adler, the former ESPN tennis analyst who was one of the first casualties of cancel culture for remarks he made during a match in the 2017 Australian Open. He paid for it with his health and his career, while others at the network are still saying really outrageous stuff on the air with no consequence.
