#029 - THE DEATH OF DEMOCRACY
PRE ELECTION SPECIAL! How can everyone be so confident that voting makes a difference when no one seems to trust any part of the process? Is it worth it? Why wouldn't you trust our electoral system? Probably not and a lot of reasons, respectively. This week we talk about all the reasons people...
-
#028 - DOES THE NATIONAL DEBT MATTER?
We have now crossed 27 TRILLION dollars in debt. Does it matter? Or can we just keep printing money forever with zero downsides? If it DOES matter, what do we do about it? Keep in mind our defense budget is larger than the next fourteen countries COMBINED!
-
#027 - PROTESTS OR RIOTS?
This week we talk about the thin line between protesting a cause and ransacking a Target, why black lives matter, but BLM doesn't, and the odds of Kyle Rittenhouse going to prison for murder.

This week: People exchange freedom for security, Biden's sexual assault allegations expose the media's double standard, and we dig deep into the Post Service to find out if it still matters. *Special Note* - A lot of things are being impacted by all the chaos right now and our posting schedule is...

-
#024 - CORONA CORONA
PRE-QUARANTINE EDITION! A national emergency is underway AND WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE! Or we may just get the sniffles. Either way, the global pandemic will certainly affect you in some fashion, perhaps even just economically. So, stock up, wash your hands and enjoy what could be our last episode...

#022 - THE KIDS ARE NOT ALRIGHT
With all of the terrible things happening to people in the world sometimes certain people fall through the cracks and don't get their stories heard. This week we talk about those stories that should be getting much more attention. From assault allegations possibly bankrupting the Boy Scouts of...

#020 - COMPLETE POLITICAL TRAINWRECK
This week was not exactly a high point for American politics. It saw the end of a long, drawn-out impeachment hearing and the spectacular failure to launch that was the Iowa Caucus. We talk about all of this plus why the Medal Of Freedom isn't as important as you think it is and the fact that...
-
#019 - EVERYTHING'S A MESS

#015 - A TALE OF TWO WARS
This week we're digging down into two big stories. First, we talk about the recently released reports from Afghanistan that not only show that the entire thing was a massive failure built on lies, but that they knew it pretty much the whole time. Turns out people get real honest when they don't...
-
#014 - FROM G.O.P. TO R.I.P.
This week we talk about why the media loves a story with legs and why it keeps us from getting answers to police shootings. We take some time to appreciate the people that are willing to give up a town to avoid taxes and the local politicians standing up for the second amendment with a colonial...
-
#013 - BAD BOYS BAD BOYS, WHATCHA GONNA DO?
We ended up with something of a police theme this week. From Starbucks insults to fear-mongering marijuana, from body-slamming suspects to opening fire in the middle of Florida traffic, and of course Kamala Harris! Also, a little update on the recently released Impeachment Inquiry Report.
-
#012 - THE TAXMAN COMETH!
It's the day before Thanksgiving and we are thankful that we are not being sued by Jussie Smollett (but Chicago is). We are thankful to have avoided machete-wielding teens at the movie theatre and government universities in Michigan! We are most thankful for the community of liberty-minded...

more -
#009 - RUSSIAN BOTS! ROLL OUT!
Massachusetts wants to make it illegal to say "bitch", but we talk about Lebron James and the NBA anyway. Rudy Giuliani may be the worst at just about everything and Hillary Clinton is back from the dead to warn us that everyone is secretly working for the Russians. We also discuss the very real...
