Episodes

  1. 346. One Nation, or a Collection of Tribes

    Multiculturalism is routinely declared an unquestionable strength, yet its proponents rarely explain what holds a nation together when shared culture, history, language, and standards are deliberately weakened. This episode argues that America’s historic success came not from preserving permanent...

  2. 345. The Morning Rant

    Just my thoughts on the passing scene.

  3. 344. What Happened to the Black Family?

    A blunt discussion about violence, public disorder, fatherlessness, addiction, abortion, failed government policy, and the cultural crisis affecting parts of Black America.

  4. 343. Home School or Else...

    They use to tell us that if we homeschooled, our kids would turn out to be weird and unemployable. But what they meant to say was if you homeschool, your kids will miss out on the opportunity to be turned into a gay communist.

  5. 342. The Government Is Public. You Are Private.

    The American constitutional order begins with a distinction our government increasingly tries to reverse: public officials exercise delegated authority, while private citizens retain inherent rights. In this episode, Steve examines the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments, the...

  6. 340. When He Cheats, Blame Him. When She Cheats, Blame Him Too.

    An editorial examination of the cultural double standard surrounding infidelity, accountability, and relationships. When a wife cheats, society often searches for the husband’s failures. When a husband cheats, society searches for his character defects. This episode asks why personal…

  7. 339. No Sacred Cows: Heresy, Religion, Rumors, and Power

    In this deliberately incendiary episode, Steve challenges several of modern America’s most protected beliefs. He examines transgender ideology through a Christian spiritual lens, argues that troubling doctrines and historical precedents within Islam deserve direct scrutiny, discusses the…

    more
  8. 338. The House We Burn With Our Own Hands

    A sharp editorial on cultural ingratitude, government greed, weak institutions, emasculated men, civilizational decay, and the dangerous consequences of shaming the very people who built and protected the country.

  9. 337. The Wound Beneath the Movement

    A reflective editorial on childhood trauma, family breakdown, mental health, and the danger of turning wounded people into political symbols instead of helping them heal. Based on a JAMA Psychiatry study using 2019 CDC survey data, which found major disparities in adverse childhood experiences...

  10. 336. The Numbers They Don’t Want in the Same Conversation

    A hard look at race, abortion, homicide, history, and selective outrage in America — not to excuse anything, not to condemn whole groups of people, but to ask why some statistics are repeated endlessly while others are treated like forbidden knowledge.

  11. 335. The Questions We're Not Supposed to Ask

    Why are some ideas endlessly scrutinized while others seem protected from examination? In this episode, I reflect on what happens when curiosity becomes controversial and why a free society should never be afraid of difficult questions.

  12. 334. The Melting Pot or the Fracture Line?

    For decades, Americans and Europeans were told that multiculturalism would make society richer, stronger, and more enlightened. The idea sounded noble: bring together people from different cultures, traditions, religions, and backgrounds, and a better society would emerge naturally. But what if...

  13. 333. Random Thoughts

    Just some random thoughts on "the passing scene."

  14. 332. Not Race. Rules.

    In this episode, Steve, The Last Free American, argues that Western civilization isn’t built on skin color, tribal identity, or collective shame. It’s built on law, individual responsibility, guilt for what we do, and the moral courage to judge acts as acts — not as racial symbols in a tribal war.

  15. 331. The Greed We Never Talk About

    We're constantly told to fear corporate greed, billionaire greed, and the greed of successful people. But what about the one institution that can legally take your money, seize your property, regulate your life, and imprison you if you refuse to comply? In this episode, Steve explores the kind of...

  16. 330. You Don’t Have to See the Whole Road

    A short reflective episode about letting go of pressure, trusting God with the path ahead, forgiving yourself, and taking the next step without needing life to feel perfect first.

  17. 329. Trial Is Not Racism — It’s Civilization

    The Karmelo Anthony trial has begun, and already the verdict has been written by people who aren’t sitting in the jury box. Supporters have decided it was self-defense. Critics have decided it was murder. The media circus is warming up. The racial narrative is already being loaded into the…

    more
  18. 328.If America Were Truly Racist, It Wouldn’t Look Like This

    Steve, The Last Free American, challenges the constant claim that America is an irredeemably racist country by asking a simple question: if that were true, why does the country bend over backward to avoid offending minorities, provide due process even in racially charged cases, dismantle its own...

  19. 327. The Data You're Not Allowed to Talk About

    What happens when statistics collide with politics? Today we're looking at homicide data that many people find uncomfortable, asking why certain demographic groups commit violent crime at vastly different rates, and discussing whether America is serious about solving problems or merely managing...

  20. 326. The Individual Versus the Tribe

    Steve, The Last Free American, takes on the modern obsession with group identity, oppression narratives, and the dangerous idea that justice means reversing the roles of oppressor and oppressed. This episode argues that America’s genius was never tribal revenge. It was the radical idea that a man...

  21. 325. The Cross and the Collective: Why Christianity and Communism Cannot Share the Same Throne

    In this episode of The Last Free American, Steve takes on the growing appeal of communism among young Americans and asks a hard question: why does a system responsible for so much misery keep selling itself as compassion? This is a blunt, faith-rooted argument that Christianity and communism are...

  22. 324. Contradictions We’re Not Allowed to Notice

    This episode is not about outrage. It’s about inconsistencies. Steve takes a hard look at the contradictions embedded in modern culture — contradictions involving identity, morality, relationships, truth, politics, and social conditioning. Why are some beliefs protected from criticism while…

    more
  23. 323. The City I Loved Is Gone

    Steve, The Last Free American, reflects on the slow death of America’s once-great cities — using Seattle as the emotional center of the story. This episode connects personal memory, urban decline, municipal debt, crime, ideological leadership, and the spiritual grief of watching a beloved city...

  24. 322. The Rot You Don’t See: Loyalty, Overtime, and the Slow Death of Trust

    A former King County deputy speaks candidly about watching the institution he once loved become consumed by politics, ego, bureaucracy, and internal distrust. Using recent allegations involving the King County Sheriff’s Office BEES unit as a starting point, this episode explores something bigger...

  25. 280. Zack on Hep B

    The CDC has changed its recommendations regarding the Hep B vax for newborns, and the nurses know it's merely about RFK's war on autistic kids.

  26. 321. Sean Strickland, Khamzat Chimaev, and the Fight Beneath the Fight

    Ahead of UFC 328, the trash talk between Sean Strickland and Khamzat Chimaev has turned into something bigger than a cage fight. This episode looks at why Strickland’s blunt rhetoric often lands like a sledgehammer — and why, underneath the rough delivery, he may be touching a real nerve about...

  27. 280. Zack talks Hep B

    The CDC has changed their recommendations regarding the Hep B vax for newborns, and the nurses are angry that RFK hates autistic kids.

  28. 280. Zack on the Hep Vax at birth

    The Vatican recently changed their recommendations regarding the Hep B vax for newborns. ...Just Kidding. It was the CDC. Yet still, the nurses are losing their minds that RFK is at war with autistic kids and merely is on a campaign to make them feel defective for having autism.

  29. 280. Zack on Hep B Vax

    The nurses are losing their minds that the Hep B vax recommendations from the Vatican, or rather, the CDC, have changed.

  30. 280. Zack on Hep B

    The CDC has changed their recommendations regarding the HEP B vax for newborns, and the nurses are losing their shit over the matter.

  31. 320. America Didn’t Stumble. It Rebelled Against God.

    In this unapologetic, hard-driving episode, Steve takes dead aim at the spiritual rot eating away at America. This is not just a political crisis or cultural decline. It is open rebellion against God. Christianity is mocked, Christians are vilified, truth is treated like hate speech, and the…

    more
  32. 319. Conviction or Choreography

    When the President said, “If you believe the first duty of government is to protect American citizens — stand up,” the chamber split. In this rapid-fire episode, we break down that moment, what it revealed about sovereignty, constitutional limits, and why Vice President J.D. Vance said the...

  33. 318. Nothing and Nowhere

    Just random thoughts today.

  34. 317. If Not For Straight White Men and the Speed Nazi

    The reason slavery ended in America is because heterosexual, white, male, Christian Republicans decided it was wrong.

  35. 316. The Truth Will Set You Free

    It's been said that I am judgmental. It's been said by the ones who know me the least. Zack sets the record straight on Truth and Trust, Love and things that matter and she explains why only good can ever come from truth and truth is the only place from which good can ever emanate.

  36. 315.The Protest Industrial Complex

    Why do nationwide protests seem to erupt on a constant cycle? In this episode, we explore the rise of professionalized activism, the role of funding networks, and the deeper philosophical divide shaping modern American politics. At the heart of the conversation is a fundamental question: Is…

    more
  37. 314. Why Collectivism Always Ends in Authoritarianism

    In the final episode of the series, we examine why collectivist ideologies—no matter how compassionate their promises—inevitably drift toward coercion and authoritarian control. Using Carl Jung’s warning about mass psychology and moral abdication, this episode explains how collectivism replaces...

  38. 313. DEI, Identity Politics, and the War on the Individual

    This episode delivers a direct critique of modern DEI and identity politics as systems of moral engineering rather than justice. Using Jung’s framework of individuation and shadow projection, we examine how identity-based ideology replaces character with category, accountability with grievance…

    more
  39. 312. When Progressivism Becomes Possession

    In this episode, we examine Carl Jung’s warning about mass movements and psychological possession—and apply it directly to modern progressive and communist ideology. Drawing on Jung’s insights into groupthink, moral outsourcing, and the loss of individual conscience, this episode argues that...

  40. 311. Equality of Opportunity

    The Burden of choice and the flight from accountability.

  41. 310. Equality Under God, Responsibility Under the Law

    In this one I discuss some fundamental differences of what the founding fathers were thinking and how individual responsibility is the hallmark of being a citizen while collectivism makes one a subject.

  42. 309. Boundaries & Consent

    A sober examination of law, citizenship, and responsibility in an age of blurred borders. Boundaries & Consent asks the questions many avoid: what makes a nation legitimate, who gets to decide its future, and why order—not outrage—is the foundation of self-government.

  43. 308. Headfake

    The left are lying, phony, fraudulent, swindling, perverted, angry, hatful, mean-spirited, unethical, entitled, spoiled, out of touch, disconnected, self absorbed, America-hating mental patients.

  44. 307. Beam Me Up, Scotty

    Even if you are a gay nurse, if you fight with law enforcement while they are effecting a lawful arrest, you may get killed.

  45. 306. Time "No Boader" Walz

    What is Minnesota the only place where people are fighting ICE agents and getting killed as a result.

  46. 305. Zack on Bias

    Health care workers will often times treat law enforcement like shit, and we are starting to see it in the TikTok vids coming out of these gay male and female nurses taking about how they treat L.E. differently. It's real and it's scary. If L.E. was as bias against health care, or ANYONE for that...

  47. 304. The Left Armed

    The left is talking about taking up arms against ICE. People are bing arrested as a result and it feels as if the revolution that William Kelly spoke of, is in fact losing steam. Hopefully arrests of illegals and agitators will accelerate. And if we are lucky, this will be a prelude to arrests to...

  48. 303. In the name of Love

    If you give it to anyone and everyone, you will never be wanted by any ONE.

  49. 302. To the Slammer!

    Arrests are being made in the Racial Action network/Don Lemon incident. So far William Kelly and Nikita Armstrong have been arrested. A federal magistrate has refused to approve charges against Lemon.
