Episodes

  1. Liberty on Life Support

    This episode covers a range of topics, from the upcoming moon trip to our economic upheaval. I play a couple of songs and rant about some of the nonsense we all face, and how we are rewarded with more pain for our efforts. Ultimately, it seems that comfort has replaced competence, and security…

  2. Accuracy, Feminism, and Orwell

    Happy (late) Halloween. In this episode, we dissect what Orwell alluded to regarding modern feminism, revisit a fiery debate about collectivism with a Libertarian, and ask a hard question few seem willing to face anymore: what happens to a society when accuracy stops mattering? I hope you enjoy it.

  3. The Delusion of Choice is Federalism

    This episode challenges the illusion of choice in American politics. We'll examine Federalism as “big government, small people,” and explore how the red-versus-blue narrative might be masking a deeper truth. The discussion makes clear that the real question isn’t big government or no government,...

  4. Oversight, Revolving Doors, and Hidden Truths

    In this episode, we explore the intricate web of Corruption and Oversight, examining how systemic failures enable corrupt practices to thrive. We discuss the Revolving Door phenomenon, where former government officials transition into lucrative private sector roles, often leading to conflicts of...

  5. Does History Repeat? A Model to Consider

    If you've been following my work, you're probably familiar with my predictive models—one more general, the other more specific. After collaborating with AI, we've combined elements from both to create a more refined and concrete version. Is it accurate? That's for you to decide.

  6. The Covert Rise of Chinas Influence

    Today, we discuss China's escalating global influence. This episode is meant to shine some light on China's ambition to reshape global power dynamics, potentially challenging the current international order and raising questions about sovereignty, national security, and the integrity of academic...

  7. Leadership Lessons from the Middle East

    The ongoing challenges in the Middle East are a great example of what happens when leaders act without fully understanding the complexities of their situations. I would argue that the turmoil in this region is not merely the result of current events but the outcome of uninformed decisions made...

  8. How the Romans Grew and Lost Their Empire

    If one were to explore outstanding examples of organizational development, team-building, or leadership, Rome probably would not come to mind. Perhaps it should. Indeed, there are plenty of things that the Romans did right. Roman tactics regarding organizational development, team building, and...

  9. Digital Deception is Everywhere

    In today's episode, we explore how misinformation and disinformation proliferate across social media platforms. We’ll touch on the psychological and social dynamics that make false information so pervasive and compelling, emphasizing the role of echo chambers, psychological biases, and the...

  10. Is Another Civil War Inevitable?

    Civil War has been in the news quite a bit lately – both domestically and abroad. Prominent names and media outlets repeatedly discuss the possibility. The overall rationale and outcome are essentially the same: the United States is deeply divided, and it might be time to fight it out. Is that...

  11. Things to Know About Weather Modification

    Weather modification has become a hot topic in recent weeks (and years), sparking debates and raising many questions. Yet, despite the wealth of information available, much confusion persists - likely due to those appealing to their 'Confirmation Bias' instead of seeking accuracy. Even worse…

  12. When Empathy Becomes Sabotage

    If you have a social media account, there is little doubt that you've seen numerous posts talking about the power of empathy, feelings, looking out for the emotional state of your peers, and so on. On the surface, it sounds nice. However, what if I were to tell you that, for those looking to lead...

  13. Freedom is Important - Do You Have It?

    Yes, 'freedom' is important. But what if I told you that you may not have as much of it as you might otherwise think? In today's episode, we explore the concept of American freedom by examining constitutional principles established by Chief Justice John Marshall and the Founding Fathers. It...

  14. Physicians’ Ironic Disdain for Alternative Medicine

    The rise in popularity of alternative medicine is often met with disdain by many physicians. However, I would argue that the blame for this shift lies squarely at the feet of the medical community. Today, I'll share an article that I wrote outlining why, but also what can be done about it.

  15. Measuring the Effectiveness of Our Leaders

    Today, I want to share some audio of a video I did talking about how we can evaluate the effectiveness of American leaders and their adherence to constitutional principles. The video posed critical questions about how citizens can measure leadership success, the vision our leaders pursue, and the...

  16. The Puppet Masters of Collusion of Power

    Today, by request, I'll share the article "The Puppet Masters of Collusion of Power." This one presents several important questions about the world we live in but also challenges us to look at the bigger picture about those involved (or complicit) in our economic woes - including (for some of us)...

  17. Beware Who You Follow - Pseudo Thought Leadership

    In today's episode, I share audio from one of my videos. This one explores the concept of 'pseudo-thought leadership' and warns of the prevalence of recycled ideas and the lack of true originality on the web. It also discusses the psychological and social barriers to accepting novel ideas and the...

  18. By Popular Request: A Show Transition

    Okay, I think I figured out what the transition will be - or needs to be. So, in this episode, I discuss the next evolution of "Destroying the Narrative" and why the show is shifting to a new format. I'll talk a little about the transition to audio articles and video content, (hopefully) making…

  19. The Coming Battle for Core Values

    Well, it's been 20 years, and I think it's finally time to throw in the towel - at least in how I've been doing this show thus far. A transition is necessary, I'm just not entirely sure what that will look like at the moment. Anyway, today's episode is built like the original "An American…

  20. The Economic Story of Us

    Today, I'm going to go through headlines and hottakes. Instead, I want to tell you a story - the story of us... or U.S. Take it for what it's worth.
