Bernie Sanders: Millionaire Who Hates Millionaires

They Really Hate You (Ep. 2543) · Jun 26, 2026 News

Bernie Sanders just declared war on the billionaire class and cheered New York's progressive congressional wins. His estimated net worth? $2–3 million. Bongino calls him the most dangerous man in America — not despite his hypocrisy, but because of how effectively he exports it.

Bernie Sanders: The Millionaire Who Hates Millionaires

At 40:30 · chapter starts 35:20

Bernie Sanders appears on screen celebrating the progressive sweep of three New York congressional seats and calling for war on the 'billionaire class.' Bongino runs a Grok AI search live and pulls up Sanders's estimated net worth: $2–3 million. He then pivots to the New York City governance record, noting the city has been run by Democrats for over a decade — confirmed by another Grok search showing the last two mayors, Eric Adams and Bill de Blasio, are both Democrats — which makes Sanders's 'fight the status quo' framing nonsensical. Bongino caps the segment with his most visceral attack of the episode, calling Sanders a lifelong bum who has never added value to society and whose real danger lies in exporting his philosophy to a national movement.

Bernie Sanders says progressives need to 'shake up the status quo' in New York. But Democrats have run New York City for over a decade, with the highest combined tax rates in the country and a city budget larger than the entire state of Florida. They are the status quo.

Why the Israel-Killed-Kirk Theory Doesn't Hold Up

#2535 - Andrew Wilson · Aug 5, 2026 News

The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.

#2535 - Andrew Wilson · Aug 5, 2026 News

The video is so blurry they initially think a female officer fired the fatal shots. They later learn a male officer did, after Ruiz allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed officers. Their conclusion: you cannot have a hot take on a story you don't understand yet.
