190 claims
Can’t tell40% confidence5 sourcesOct 19, 2026The television program 60 Minutes used clips from The Dan Bongino Show.Said by AThe only sources that mention 60 Minutes using a clip from The Dan Bongino Show are Bongino's own podcast and a low-credibility summary of his channel, which repeat the claimant's account. No authoritative source (CBS, 60 Minutes, or a fact-checker) confirms or disputes it, so the claim cannot be graded in either direction. The extraction is faithful to the post, which says '61 minutes' and was corrected to 60 in the post itself.Can’t tell50% confidence7 sourcesOct 19, 2026The investigation into Ilhan Omar started under the Biden administration.Said by AThe claim departs from the passage: the post says a "Democrat" administration without naming Biden, and its context points to Obama. The sources show the earliest probe began under Obama in 2016 (not Biden), the Biden-appointed U.S. attorney closed it in 2021, and a separate 2024 DoJ probe began under Biden, so the claim is unverifiable as extracted.Can’t tell40% confidence6 sourcesOct 19, 2026The investigation into Ilhan Omar was authorized by a judge appointed by the Democratic party.Said by AThe sources establish that a federal magistrate judge, Matthew Sharbaugh, approved the warrant for the search of Omar's home, but none says he was appointed by the Democratic Party. The only partisan links are a report that he donated to Democratic campaigns and clerked for an Obama-appointed judge, and those do not show who appointed him, so the claim's appointment element is not established either way. The post's phrase 'Democrat judge' is also an opinion-style label that the claim turns into a claim about appointment.Can’t tell30% confidence5 sourcesOct 19, 202640% of gun-owning Michiganders would oppose the elimination of the Second Amendment.Said by ANo source measures how Michigan gun owners would respond to eliminating the Second Amendment, so the 40% figure is not corroborated. The only source with the 40% figure is Jonathan Turley's October 15, 2026 post repeating it, which is circular, and the EPIC-MRA polls cover general gun-control attitudes rather than this question.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Can’t tell30% confidence9 sourcesOct 19, 2026The 1776 Live Club sweepstakes ends on December 18, 2026.The extracted claim faithfully matches the post's 'Ends 12/18/26' line, but no independent source confirms or contradicts the sweepstakes' end date as of 2026-10-19. The only sources mentioning it are repeated Bongino Show ads and podcast listings that echo the claimant's own text, which is circular and cannot corroborate it.Can’t tell30% confidence3 sourcesOct 16, 2026Over 90 percent of the world's great entrepreneurs are located in or building their businesses in the United States.Said by ANone of the provided sources measures what share of the world's "great entrepreneurs" are located in or building businesses in the United States, so the 90 percent figure cannot be checked. The closest figures are a blog estimate of about 31 million US entrepreneurs out of 582 million worldwide (source 8, unrated) and a Schumpeter paper on billionaire entrepreneurs (source 11), neither of which measures the claimed share. The extraction matches the passage's wording, and the claim was made on 2026-10-16.Can’t tell40% confidence7 sourcesOct 16, 2026Dan Bongino lost 40 pounds using Lean nutritional supplement.Said by AThe claim faithfully extracts the post's own self-reported figure ('about 40' pounds), but no independent source confirms it. The only figures in the sources are the speaker's own ad and podcast statements: about 28 pounds in a 2024 transcript and 'over 30' in 2026 transcripts, which are not authoritative and do not directly contradict a 40-pound loss.Can’t tell30% confidence5 sourcesOct 16, 2026The average household income increased by almost $5,400 due to the implementation of the working families tax cut bill.Said by 2BNo independent source confirms that average household income rose by almost $5,400 because of the Working Families Tax Cuts. The only source repeating the $5,400 figure is the Speaker's own press release, which is circular, and the nearby tax-cut figures ($2,272 average, $2,915 in Louisiana) measure something different.Can’t tell50% confidence6 sourcesOct 16, 2026David Jolly has taken positions indicating he would take guns in Florida.Said by AThe sources confirm Jolly's gun positions (an assault weapons ban, universal background checks, licensing, and expanding red flag laws), but none says these positions would take people's guns. Whether they 'indicate he would take guns' is a political characterization, not a checkable fact, and Jolly rejects the portrayal.Can’t tell30% confidence6 sourcesOct 16, 2026The 2007 Women's March declared abortion access and trans access as key to its mission.Said by 3CThe sources document the platform of the January 2017 Women's March on Washington, which included abortion access and protection for trans women, but none covers a 2007 Women's March, so the claim's 2007 referent is not graded. The claim also departs from the passage's sense that the event was 2007 only if the poster meant the 2017 march; the sources cannot confirm or refute the claim as written.Can’t tell30% confidence6 sourcesOct 16, 2026Ira Jacob passed away from Hurricane Isa.Said by AThe sources confirm that Hurricane Isaias caused at least four deaths in Florida and Alabama in October 2026, but none names Ira Jacob as a victim, and People reports the victims' identities were not shared publicly. The claim also departs slightly from the passage, which says "Hurricane Isa" (the storm is Isaias) and comes from a viewer's personal message rather than any reporting; the two Ira Jacob-named obituaries found are for different people.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Can’t tell30% confidence4 sourcesOct 16, 2026Steve Hilton lost his congressional race in Maryland by one point.Said by AThe passage never names Steve Hilton as the candidate; the speaker says "I ran in a congressional seat" in Maryland, so the claim departs from the passage by attributing that race to Hilton. The sources also contain no record of a Maryland congressional race with a one-point loss by Hilton, and they place Hilton in the California governor race.
