Eps 602 - Bernie Sanders: Brilliant or Misguided

9/9/2025
Bernie Sanders is one of the most popular politicians in America today. Why would this be? In short, Senator Sanders is very good at understanding and paying attention to the problems of the masses. In some ways, he is ahead of the game. Many politicians don't even understand the problems facing Americans. They are simply looking for that winning issue, likely with NO intention of actually putting forth a workable solution. Bernie's problem, however, his solutions are all wrong. It reminds of that scene in Hunt for Red October when Jack Ryan is explaining to Captain Ramius about the books he had written on the famous Captain. Ramius admonished Ryan and told him his conclusions were all wrong. Unfortunately there is nobody to set Senator Sanders on the righteous path. He is forever going around talking about real problems but offering no workable solutions.

Eps 601 - HHS Secretary RFK Jr. Ambushed in Congressional Heating

9/7/2025
These Congressional hearings are such a circus. They call them oversight but the American public learns little to nothing in them. This is by design. The purpose is not to get to truth but smear the administration in power (or provide cover) depending on which side of the aisle you're on. The members have been completely captured by the medical establishment such that you are never really going to hear from them about what's going on. The entire thing is so political, you can't really make sense of it. As a result, you mostly get a circus!

Eps 593 - Cronyism in America is NOT Free Market

8/11/2025
When Tucker Carlson gave a speech to this year's attendants at the Turning Point USA convention, he discussed a very simple idea about the prosperity in America. Can you afford a house in your late 20s or early 30s? He made a point to highlight that GDP doesn't mean anything if you can't afford a house and raise a family. The engineer in me wants to understand the cause of this peculiar insight that Tucker highlighted. If you don't understand a problem, solving is virtually impossible. However, this is commonplace inside our political system. Tucker also talked about how the least impressive people that don't seem to have any skills are getting rich in America while the vast majority of us are getting poorer. The connected class is the subject of today episode where we review an article in The Misesian, authored by Patrick Newman. It's an insightful revision of the economic history from 1948 to 1929. This period set stage for what we now call Cronyism which is now thoroughly entrenched in America's political system.

Eps 592 - Bitcoin Could Solve ALL of Our PROBLEMS!

8/7/2025
Without a doubt, LIBERTY is the most important principle undergirding our society. Without liberty everything is more difficult and despair rules the day. The most important subset of LIBERTY is economic liberty. Without economic liberty, you become a type of slave. Some one who cannot reach their potential in society due to some imbalance distortion that exist in obtaining resources. In our modern society, this distortion is created by the government and its monopoly claim on the production of the units of the medium of exchange, or the currency. It doesn't matter whether you vote for the Republican candidate or the Democrat candidate, this monopoly power continues to exist. WE MUST END THE FED and replace our currency with REAL MONEY.

Eps 591 - House Oversight Chair Pulling in Deep State Actors to Testify

8/5/2025
More Epstein in the news. The looming political exposure to Trump is more than the establishment media can resist. Democrats smell blood in the water and they are on the attack. Republican James Comer has often been interested in driving a wedge into the establishment. In his latest move he has decided to issue subpoenas for former high-level government officials, including the Clintons, James Comey, and Merrick Garland, for information on the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Let's see how this plays out. At a minimum, it should keep the Epstein situation in the media so that normies have a chance to catch up.

Eps 590 - Barack Obama, not Donald Trump Should Be in Prison

8/4/2025
The weaponization and use of the intelligence agencies of the U.S. Government against a sitting President are clearly illegal acts, but until now it's been CONSPIRACY THEORY. The use of this term, along with the fact that Trump is an easy political target has been key to keeping this crime under wraps within the classified world of the DEEP STATE. That is, until now. Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat politician and Trump's DNI recently declassified a critical Presidential Daily Briefing (PDP) that unequivocally states that whatever Russia did, it was not enough to sway the election in Donald Trump's direction. This little fact didn't seem to get in the way of the "TRUTH" Barack Obama, James Clapper, John Brennan, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe and other high officials within the outgoing President's close circle of advisors were willing to serve up to the world during the transfer of power to Donald Trump. This from the people that put thousands in jail for protesting about suspicions of election fraud in 2021. This is an egregious abuse of power and possibly treasonous criminality.

7/30/2025
MAGA has been unflinchingly behind Donald Trump on every issue regardless of how badly it is handled until now. People don't seem to be able to move on from Epstein. To me, this is sign of hope! A sign that our society hasn't decided to just completely ignore true justice and follow the narrative hook, line and sinker. It will be interesting to see how this will play out over the next several weeks and months. I'm not holding my beath for this but I am very hopeful.

Eps 588 - Why Does Our Government Favor Other Nations Over Us?

7/25/2025
Our government leaders are obsessed with other countries and very disinterested in America and our people. What is this all about? Why are they more interested in Ukraine and Israel than they are in Minnesota or West Virginia. Why are millions of Americans dying of drug over doses without even a mention from our political class. Why are they telling us this is capitalism and free markets? The Epstein ordeal demonstrates that some people are getting ahead in America but they all live in the handful of counties surrounding Washington D.C. These same people are good speakers and present themselves as respectable but they are not very smart and don't have any marketable skills. This realization is fueling a political upheaval in America, especially with young people. The country is increasingly out of reach for these young people.

Eps 587 - Ignoring Jeffery Epstein Might Be a Watershed Moment

7/22/2025
Donald Trump has enjoyed non-stop massive support from his base since the moment he took office. Could the people be turning on him? Well, maybe. His administration has undoubtedly made a huge error in deciding to continue the cover-up on Jeffery Epstein. For one thing, Trump and his cabinet picks were some of the loudest voices during the campaign on the Epstein cover-up, and for them to now leading that cover-up is just a bridge too far. To me, this is similar to Watergate under Richard Nixon. Some scandal happens and the Washington D.C. elites just ignore it with some reporters asking questions. There is clearly smoke, but the elites and the administration don't want to discuss it. Eventually it became impossible to ignore. Maybe this is headed down the same road. We'll see.

Eps 586 - Are Governments Evil or Just Inept?

7/20/2025
Many of us have been conditioned to believe governments are a net good for society. But at the same time, people are constantly complaining that governments accomplish little and tend to attract the wort of our fellow citizens. The question that often follows is, Why? A big part of the problem is rooted in the bureaucracy itself. Today we use a speech given by Tom Woods to examine the nature of bureaucracy and how its incentive structure is very different than the free market.

Eps 585 - Obama Administration Knew Russia Didn't Steal the 2016 Election

7/19/2025
When you have a situation where the government lies about what its doing and then classifies everything involving the truth, it is very difficult to know what is going on. When you add the fact that the press doesn't really do its job by asking hard-hitting questions, you're left with a situation where it's difficult to know what's going on. On this show, I don't always have hard evidence for what I'm putting forth but I justify this because timely information is critical for effective decision making. It was obvious to me way back in 2016 that Obama and Clinton created the Russian Hoax. I tried to convince people that it was bullshit, but it's very difficult to do. It's one of the reasons I created the show. Timely information is everything. This was absolutely the case during COVID. What good is to know now that the COVID mRNA shot is dangerous to your life? Most of you have already taken it. This is why I continue to do my show. Not for fame, not for money but for the few people who know as I do that your very survival could depend on it! We are probably entering the most dangerous phase of our country's history. Where all could be lost and the liberty that Americans once enjoyed could slip away.

Eps 584 - What is Behind the Epstein Corruption and Why It's Important

7/16/2025
For too long this country has allowed the worst of our fellow citizens to prosper at the expense of the rest of us. The vile and disgusting parasites that live among us and feed off of us, literally and figuratively, need to removed from civil society. They have poisoned the well in a way that we cannot survive with their living among us. I know this sounds hateful but these people live in a way where they're are not subject to the same rules as you. They steal, grift and use their connectedness with government to get rich in a wide variety of schemes. It's not the free market and it's definetly not capitalism. In fact, if you had to define it, I would put it in the category of fascism. This is a system where business and/or connected individuals use the government to enrich themselves. The abuse and violate individuals for their own amusement and in some cases commit murder to hide their criminality. The Epstein case is the best way to begin to remove those among us who have been living this way right under our noses.

Eps 583 - Are We Finally Going to Get to the Bottom of the COVID Tyranny?

7/13/2025
One of the reasons I started this show was to bring a different perspective to what was happening to our society during the government's COVID response. America refuses to to have the integrity to look into this in a serious way, which probably indicates that it was intentional like so many other "PROGRAMS" we can never get to the bottom of. Given that the response to COVID was global, there are other governments and systems that appear to be more committed to the truth of who they say they are as a people. As someone who holds liberty as a primary value, I am grateful for countries like The Netherlands. The people are strong in who they are and fearless in the willingness to take action.
