Send us Fan MailThe Würzburg Stabbing and the Number 11: What Gets Counted, What Gets Ignored | The Tenth ManThis episode revisits the June 25, 2021 Würzburg, Germany stabbing in which Abdirahman Jibril Ali attacked 11 people in four minutes, killing three women and wounding eight, after prior violent incidents and a brief psychiatric commitment that produced no diagnosis. It argues the story was largely ignored in U.S. media because it happened abroad, and highlights that unarmed citizens slowed the attacker with improvised objects until a police officer ended the attack with a single gunshot, using this to contend that violence gets stopped when a gun shows up and that an armed civilian—including with a handgun—can be essential to self-defense. The episode contrasts Würzburg—a stranger attacking strangers—with three U.S. incidents the same day that totaled 11 shooting victims but stemmed from existing disputes, and uses the comparison to criticize weapon-focused policy debates in favor of addressing mental health, integration, and intervention failures.00:00 Würzburg Attack Overview02:33 Warning Signs Ignored03:54 Victims and Chaos04:24 Citizens Fight Back05:25 Show Mission Break06:04 Gun Ends the Threat08:27 What Makes Mass Attacks09:44 Motive and System Failures11:27 America’s Other Eleven12:33 Randomness vs Statistics14:17 Lessons Beyond Gun Laws16:02 Closing Thoughts#americanexceptionalism #secondamendment #germanycrime #immigrantcrime #massshooting #somalicrimeCommentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Send us Fan MailThe Mass Shooting You Didn’t Hear About: Australia, “Rare,” and the Media Double StandardKevin Travis argues that American media apply a double standard to “mass shootings,” spotlighting U.S. incidents using the Gun Violence Archive definition (4+ shot) while downplaying similar events abroad as “rare.” He cites a May 19, 2026 gang-linked shooting in Canley Heights, Sydney (5 victims, 1 dead), and contrasts Australia’s immediate contextual framing (targeted organized crime) with U.S. coverage that often omits gang context. He also recounts the Dec. 14, 2025 Bondi Beach terrorist attack (15 killed, 41 wounded; ISIS claim; failed bombs) followed by new gun restrictions, the April 13, 2024 Bondi Junction mall stabbing stopped by a police officer’s gun, and an Oct. 5, 2025 random Croydon Park shooting (16 injured) that few Americans heard about. He criticizes Tim Walz’s 2024 debate claim about Finland despite a recent Finnish school shooting, notes geography and population differences in cross-country comparisons, and points to World Cup safety narratives versus “gun tourism” by foreign visitors in the U.S.00:00 Australia Mass Shooting02:14 Canley Heights Context03:56 Why US Coverage Skips06:39 Bondi Beach Terror08:54 Knife Attack Bondi11:30 Finland Debate Myth14:50 Croydon Park Rampage17:32 Double Standard Mechanism21:49 Geography And Borders23:24 World Cup Gun Tourism26:29 Connecting The Dots27:53 Double Standard Conclusion#SecondAmendment #MassShooting #AustraliaCrime #BondiBeachShootingCommentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Send us Fan MailThe “13/50” Myth Myth: Crime Stats, Liber Rules, and the Number No One Wants to DiscussKevin Travis introduces a recurring segment called “Liber Rules,” arguing that progressives treat plausible claims as true without evidence, and applies it to the claim that “13/50” crime statistics are fabricated and that repeating them is hate speech. He cites FBI Uniform Crime Reports showing Black Americans account for about 52% of murder arrests and Bureau of Justice Statistics data showing about 54% of murder convictions, contending the disparity increases with deeper scrutiny. He disputes “over-policing” as the driver, arguing murders generate 911 calls and would also appear in hospitals and morgues if white crime were being systematically missed. He highlights SPLC-cited data on largely intraracial crime and notes cross-racial figures, then emphasizes that 56% of U.S. murder victims are Black and that Black homicide victimization is far higher than for whites, concentrating in long Democratic-run cities; he links outcomes to fatherlessness and Democratic social policy while stating race is not the variable.00:00 Provocative Opening00:34 Liber Rules Explained01:19 The 13/52 Claim02:37 Hate Symbol Trap05:07 Data Arrests vs Convictions06:22 Unsolved Murders Pivot07:14 Over Policing Argument10:16 Numbers Aren't Hate11:05 SPLC Intraracial Rebuttal13:39 The Real Furious Number14:55 Democrat Cities Focus16:07 Fatherlessness Policy Link16:43 Culture Not Race17:25 Staircase Recap18:26 Final Takeaway19:30 Closing Credits#SPLC #13/50 #FailedDemocrats #AmericaCrimeCommentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Send us Fan MailPulse at 10 Years: ISIS, Lone Wolves, and the Media’s NarrativeOn the 10th anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting, the episode argues that mainstream coverage from outlets like ABC’s GMA First Look and CNN frames the event primarily as an attack on a gay nightclub while minimizing the documented ISIS link, including Omar Mateen’s 911 pledge of allegiance and ISIS’s lone-wolf doctrine. It contrasts this framing with related ISIS-inspired attacks in 2016—Nice on Bastille Day and the Ohio State attack—and claims the press treats them as disconnected stories while emphasizing guns and domestic culture-war angles. The host also cites a lesser-covered June 7, 2016 Kalamazoo cycling-group tragedy to argue that victim identity drives national attention. The episode urges journalists to examine patterns, symbolic-date targeting, and broader geopolitical chains of accountability ahead of July 4 and America’s 250th anniversary.00:00 Media Anniversary Framing01:13 Missing Terror Context03:16 What Pulse Really Was05:12 Target Was Americans06:39 Lone Wolf Myth08:15 ISIS Franchise Pattern09:50 Blaming America Narrative10:42 What Newsrooms Should Ask12:09 Kalamazoo Contrast14:23 Chain of Accountability16:15 Final Warning and Wrap#PulseNightclubShooting #ISIS #SecondAmendment #IlhanOmar #AmericanExceptionalismCommentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Send us Fan MailHow to End the War With Iran: Stop Managing, Start Winning | The Tenth ManKevin Travis argues the U.S. is not losing a war with Iran but “managing” it while the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commits piracy and war crimes by seizing commercial vessels in international waters. He says defensive measures like arming merchant ships may deter boardings but won’t end the conflict, and criticizes relying on large modern destroyers unsuited for shallow-water patrols. Travis calls for an offensive posture: deploy shallow-draft patrol craft with helicopter support to hunt IRGC speedboats and strike the fixed shore bases, docks, fuel depots, and command structure that enable the seizures, citing historical precedents from the Barbary Wars to Vietnam and special operations raids. He then proposes a “surprise twist” solution: drop crates of rifles into Iran to give protesters the means to resist the regime, framing the core problem as a lack of will rather than capability.00:00 War Ends Tomorrow00:34 Managing Not Winning02:51 Piracy Is War Crime04:25 Defense Is Not Strategy06:07 Destroyers Lost Purpose08:01 Hunters In Shallow Waters10:39 Take Fight To Shore13:53 Are Iranians The Enemy16:22 Arm The People Twist19:40 Willpower And Wrap Up#SecondAmendment  #AmericanExceptionalism #IranConflictCommentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Send us Fan MailWhy Captain Phillips Couldn’t Carry a Gun Today | Arming Merchant Ships in the Strait of HormuzThe episode argues that Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces are illegally boarding and seizing merchant ships in international waters near the Strait of Hormuz, a key chokepoint for roughly 20% of the world’s oil, and criticizes diplomatic “negotiation” and sanctions as ineffective responses to piracy. Using the film Captain Phillips and historical examples—armed East Indiamen, the WWII Liberty ship SS Stephen Hopkins, and Jefferson’s response to Barbary pirates—it claims deterrence works when ships can shoot back. The script contends modern commercial crews are left defenseless because regional ports prohibit weapons, making shipboard arms or private security costly and complex. It proposes placing armed guards, specifically U.S. Marines, on every transiting vessel, reviving ship “hard points,” and potentially deploying Phalanx CIWS as a deterrent, arguing defense is not escalation and would stop attacks.00:00 Captain Phillips Hook00:33 Iranian Ship Seizures02:29 Hormuz And Piracy Law05:35 Why Ships Are Unarmed07:05 History Of Armed Merchants09:47 Private Guards Work11:46 Marines On Every Ship13:30 Phalanx Deterrent Option15:58 Answering Objections19:28 Wrap Up And Takeaway#americanexceptionalism #piracy #terrorism #guncontrol #iranCommentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Send us Fan MailMike Duggan Drops Out: Why Independents Can’t Compete—and What It Signals for DemocratsKevin Travis argues that Michigan swing-state politics reveal a deeper Democratic Party crisis after Detroit ex-mayor Mike Duggan, who left the party in December 2024 and ran for governor as an independent, dropped out despite raising $3.2M (mostly from Michigan donors) and earning 200+ bipartisan endorsements. Travis says Duggan didn’t lose to voters but to a party-finance system that blocks independents, and frames this as evidence of an impending Democratic Party division rather than a routine cycle. He links this to historical party collapses, criticizes Democratic redistricting and DCCC meddling in the 2022 Meijer primary, and claims the party is split between democratic-socialist figures and sidelined or expelled moderates like Fetterman, RFK Jr., and Tulsi Gabbard. He suggests a new center-left governing coalition could emerge.00:00 Duggan Drops Out02:19 Who Is Mike Duggan04:00 Independent Can’t Compete04:42 Do Parties Collapse06:33 Parties Die Before07:24 Canceling Andrew Jackson10:37 Constitution and Parties11:13 Redistricting Power Plays13:36 Meddling in GOP Primaries16:13 Democrats Already Split17:36 Moderates Pushed Out20:12 Fault Lines in GOP22:38 Back to Duggan’s Lesson24:23 What Happens Next24:58 A New Center-Left Party26:35 Democratic Republican Idea26:59 Closing Thanks#TheLastDemocrat #MichiganPolitics #MikeDuggan #PerryJohnson #Detroit #Michigan2026 #TulsiGabbard #TheSquad #thetenthman #DemocratCollapse #ThirdParty #PoliticalHomeless #PartySplit #BeyondTwoParties #Fetterman #Mamdani #TulsiGabbard #RFKJr #Squad #BernieSanders#TheTenthMan #KevinTravis #ConnectTheDots #Politics #Podcast #MAGA #DSA #Woke #AmericanPolitics #2026ElectionsCommentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Send us Fan MailRock Thrower vs. Monk Seals: When Animal Love Becomes the ThreatKevin Travis contrasts federal prosecution of Igor Litvinchuk for throwing a rock at a Hawaiian monk seal (missing and causing no injury) with broader failures in conservation and legal proportionality, including a state senator commending a man for beating Litvinchuk. He argues the animal-rights culture prioritizes performative outrage and individual-animal sentiment over species-level conservation, criticizing the naming and quasi-pet treatment of a seal called “Lani” and a “priesthood” that controls information. Travis says monk seals are increasing about 2% per year, while a major documented threat is toxoplasmosis spread by feral cats; yet laws and enforcement protect cats and even de-prioritize penalties for feeding them. He also blames activists who habituate seals to humans, concluding the system punishes solutions, protects problems, and substitutes theater for conservation.00:00 Rock Throwing Outrage01:54 Federal Crackdown04:46 Vigilante Rewarded06:13 Moral Authority Question07:05 Naming Wild Animals10:19 Nature Versus Man11:49 Species Not Individuals13:41 Real Threat Revealed15:57 Cats And Bad Incentives17:42 Activist Factions Clash18:40 Habituating The Seal20:02 Theater Not Conservation20:53 Closing Thoughts#MonkSeal #LaniTheSeal #igormykhaylovychlytvynchuk #FeralCats #WildlifeConservation #Toxoplasmosis #LanaiCatSanctuary #AmbassadorOfAloha #HumaneHawaii #RichardBissen #MauiMayor #BrentonAwa #HawaiiSenate #TheTenthMan #KevinTravis #ConservativePodcast #TrapNeuterReturnCommentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Send us Fan MailBoycotting Starbucks to End Capitalism? The Contradictions of Socialist Protest | The Tenth ManKevin Travis argues that boycotts rely on capitalist competition, criticizing Seattle mayor Sarah Nelson’s Starbucks boycott as using capitalism’s tools to protest capitalism. He contrasts outrage over Shell’s windfall profits with little protest against state-owned oil firms like Norway’s Equinor and Mexico’s Pemex, claiming the anger is selective and more about who controls money than profits themselves. He discusses New York mayor Zoran Mamdani’s proposal to tax accumulated home equity, contending socialist programs depend on wealth created under capitalism and rarely involve voluntary collectivism in advocates’ own communities. Using bear-and-salmon and coyote analogies, he claims “nature is capitalist,” says communism destroys prosperity, and argues only under capitalism can people safely denounce the system, while noting capitalism’s real problems and asking “compared to what?”00:00 Boycotts Need Capitalism00:50 Protest Paradox Setup02:11 Seattle Starbucks Boycott03:38 Oil Profits Selective Outrage04:59 State Oil Money Trail06:27 Taxing Home Equity08:34 Why Not Start a Commune10:20 Nature Is Capitalist12:33 Bear Versus Commissar13:40 Only Capitalism Allows Dissent14:31 Capitalism Flaws Compared15:30 Wrap Up And Call To Share #TheTenthMan #progressives #Capitalism #Socialism #FreeMarkets #ConservativePodcast #PoliticalAnalysis #SaraNelson #StarbucksBoycott #ZohranMamdani #KevinTravis #AntiCapitalism #Communism #Venezuela #SovietUnion #SmallGovernment #MarketEconomy #PodcastersOfX #NewPodcastCommentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Send us Fan MailIran’s “Overpass”: Mining the Strait of Hormuz, Extorting Shipping, and the World’s Double StandardThe episode compares teens throwing rocks from highway overpasses—citing fatal cases in Michigan (Kenneth White, 2017), Ohio, and Colorado—to Iran’s deliberate policy of attacking and extorting neutral shipping in the 21-mile-wide Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of global seaborne oil and LNG normally passes. It argues Iran has reduced traffic to about 5% of prior levels while charging up to $2 million per vessel and allegedly mining international lanes in violation of longstanding Hague rules, driving oil-price spikes, flight cancellations, and delays in fertilizer and food shipments. The speaker claims the world holds Iran to lower standards than the West, noting a UN statement “asking them to please stop” and a Security Council resolution vetoed by China and Russia, while China imports over 90% of Iran’s illicit oil. The episode contrasts Iran with Singapore’s prosperity and choice to enable commerce rather than threaten it.00:00 Overpass Double Standard00:53 Deadly Rock Throwing03:04 Strait of Hormuz Overpass04:05 Why It Hits Home05:27 Tolls and Extortion06:18 Sea Mines and Decency09:09 Princess Diana Contrast10:09 UN Vetoes and Hypocrisy12:17 Two Ships Two Missions15:06 Singapore Chooses Good17:53 China's Complicity19:10 Back to Michigan Verdict20:30 Conclusion and Thanks #TheTenthMan #HormuzCrisis #FreePassage #IranNavy #DoubleStandard #NeutralShipping #IRISDena #Hormuz #LostPotential #TinCanSailor Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Send us Fan MailThe Biggest Oil Disruption Ever—and the Climate Movement’s Silence Says EverythingThis episode argues that a massive Iran-linked energy disruption has effectively locked up about 20% of global oil supply in the Arabian Gulf, yet major climate activists and groups (Greta Thunberg, Just Stop Oil, Greenpeace) are largely silent despite years of demanding reduced fossil-fuel use. It contrasts U.S. and European costs for food and gasoline, noting Americans still pay far less, and cites impacts like idled tankers, fewer flights (including Lufthansa canceling 20,000), and potential reductions in driving and shipping. The script claims EV adoption is declining just as high fuel prices were supposed to accelerate it, and offers three reasons for the silence: media incentives favor catastrophe, activist fundraising relies on crisis, and the disruption demonstrates that removing fossil fuels before alternatives are ready causes price spikes, instability, and harm—highlighting the need for more domestic production, LNG, nuclear, and realistic accounting of renewables.00:00 Oil Shock Silence02:01 Meet the 10th Man03:25 Greta and Just Stop Oil04:37 Road Safety Irony05:38 Greenpeace and Tankers07:09 Farms Flights and Fuel09:38 Food and Gas Context13:04 EV Moment Fizzles14:42 Why No One Celebrates16:57 It Was Never a Win19:49 Realistic Energy Path20:27 Closing ThoughtsCommentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Send us Fan MailWhy the Media Praises the Pope Only When He Criticizes TrumpThe script argues that mainstream media elevates the Pope as a moral authority primarily when he criticizes Donald Trump, despite the Church’s ongoing reputational damage from past sex scandals. It claims quoting the Pope on war is an appeal-to-authority fallacy because he is a spiritual leader, not a military strategist, and contends his natural counterparts on a religion-infused conflict are Iran’s clerical rulers, yet his criticism targets Washington and Netanyahu while Iran’s threats, proxy warfare (Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis), and attacks on shipping are treated as routine. The speaker contrasts widespread outrage over an accidental school strike in Iran with a decade-long pattern of Boko Haram kidnappings of Christian schoolgirls in Nigeria, questioning why the Pope doesn’t focus on persecuted Christians or internal Church decline. It also notes recent clustering of papal canonizations and concludes the Pope’s messaging echoes prevailing institutions rather than confronting Iran-backed violence.00:00 Media Double Standards01:17 Appeal to Authority03:11 Pope’s Real Priorities04:12 Nigeria’s Kidnapping Crisis06:31 Angola Visit Critique07:58 Scandals and Credibility09:22 Iran’s Proxy Wars11:32 Rhetoric vs Real Violence12:53 Status Quo and Trump14:47 Sainthood Incentives17:15 Final Moral VerdictCommentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Send us Fan MailChurch Songs, Christian Culture, and the Downed F-15 Over IranThe episode opens with an American F-15 shot down over Iran and contrasts why a downed airman would fear capture by Iranians, then shifts into a critique of repetitive “progressive” church music and the idea that simplifying worship will bring people back. It notes how Easter TV programming features abundant Christian stories and experts while arguing narratives rarely continue into Islamic history, then frames the Iran conflict as fundamentally religious and contrasts Christian nations’ stability and humanitarian aid with what it describes as repression and violence in Muslim-led states. The host rejects warnings about “Christian nationalists,” argues Christianity underpins Western moral standards and constitutions, and returns to the stranded weapons officer’s dilemma: being found by rescuers versus being found to be used, concluding with the choice between landing near a church or a mosque.00:00 Ejection Over Iran00:22 Easter Song Rant02:24 Bible Shows And Missing History04:04 Christianity Versus Islam05:37 Christian Morality Standard07:57 Nordic Example10:16 Muslims In Christian Nations11:07 Iran Theocracy Contrast12:54 Religious War And Politics15:42 Aid And Leadership Hypocrisy17:52 Airman Hunted On Ground19:33 Church Or Mosque Choice#Iranwar #PopeLeo #Trump #NATO #IRISDena Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Send us Fan MailTSA Pay Freeze, Media Silence, and the Case to Defund TSA Instead The script argues that President Trump has identified Democrats as terrorists for using intimidation tactics like shutting down Homeland Security funding, including TSA, but wrongly negotiates with them. It claims media coverage is missing typical manipulation, fearmongering, and questions about security impacts despite unpaid, overworked TSA staff and concerns about threats such as Iran. The speaker suggests the absence of panic indicates TSA may be unnecessary, citing private airport security in parts of the EU and U.S. airports like Sarasota and San Francisco, and argues TSA focuses on guns while 9/11 used box cutters and future threats are better stopped by ICE and the FBI. It proposes a constitutional amendment prioritizing tax spending for essential functions so military, Coast Guard, and TSA are paid before welfare and bureaucrats. 00:00 TSA Pay Chaos00:53 Defining Terrorism01:49 Three Tiers Explained03:02 Democrats As Terrorists04:06 Shutdown As Proxy War04:44 Missing Media Narratives06:46 Private Security Works08:50 Where Is The Fear10:56 Do We Need TSA13:48 TSA Fights Last War15:58 Flight 93 Changed Everything16:54 Window Dressing Security18:26 Guns Versus Batteries19:32 Fixing Tax Priorities22:00 Inversion And Closing#governmentshutdown #TSA #IranWar #Trump #WelfareState #ICECommentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Send us Fan MailWar, Welfare, and the Storehouse: Priorities Behind the Iran Spending Debate A critique of Senator Bernie Sanders’ claim that U.S. strikes involving Iran cost about $22 billion and that the money should have funded healthcare, housing, early childhood programs, and student debt relief, arguing this framing treats security as optional and redistribution as government’s primary purpose. It contends government exists first for collective functions individuals can’t provide alone—national defense, border control, law enforcement, disaster response, and basic stability—and warns that accumulated public resources attract constituencies that see stockpiles as surplus, including many who pay little or no federal income tax. It cites a Minneapolis pandemic-era feeding scandal as an example of redistribution enabling fraud, criticizes Democrats as “fun parents” expanding benefits while lowering expectations, and contrasts finite military actions with an endless “war on poverty,” noting SNAP alone costs roughly $100 billion annually and that most federal spending already goes to social programs. 00:00 War Costs and Priorities00:57 The Redistribution Impulse02:13 Sanders and the Iran Bill03:18 What Government Is For04:19 Stockpiles and Human Nature05:47 Modern Storehouse Politics07:52 Fraud and Clan Loyalty09:17 The Fun Parent State10:35 Exit Strategy for Poverty11:52 Who Pays and Who Votes13:07 Welfare vs Defense Reality16:22 Shutdowns and Skewed Urgency17:59 Survival Before Comfort18:52 Closing Thanks#IranWar #SNAP #BernieSanders #GovernmentShutdown #EuropeanUnion #MAGACommentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

He argues many heated debates about glyphosate are driven more by politics, activism, and symbolism than by evidence, noting court verdicts aren’t the same as scientific conclusions. He describes glyphosate’s plant-specific mechanism (blocking the shikimate pathway) and contrasts IARC’s 2015 “probably carcinogenic” hazard category with regulators’ real-world risk assessments, citing EPA, EFSA, and Health Canada conclusions that typical exposures are unlikely carcinogenic. He compares glyphosate’s public-villain cycle to past scares like saccharin and Alar, discusses agricultural trade-offs versus more acutely toxic herbicides like paraquat, and urges questioning without rejecting science.00:00 Maha Moms And Roundup00:34 Dinner Table Debate02:21 Roundup Brand Confusion03:53 Science Beyond Politics06:14 Protective Instincts07:57 How Glyphosate Works12:09 Linked To Cancer Claim13:08 IARC Hazard Vs Risk16:34 Past Chemical Panics18:30 What Regulators Conclude20:13 Farm Risk And Tradeoffs22:44 Risk Anxiety And Meaning24:19 Be The 10th Man#Roundup #MAHAmoms #antivaxxers #glyphosate Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Send us Fan MailShould You Eat Like the Japanese to Live Longer? The Longevity Diet Myth This episode challenges the popular claim that Americans should copy Japanese, Mediterranean, or French diets to gain longevity, arguing the logic relies on correlation and the false assumption that all bodies respond identically to food. Using lactose intolerance and lactase persistence as a clear genetic example, it argues digestion and metabolism vary across populations and that rapid dietary shifts can create “evolutionary mismatch,” illustrated by POWs in Vietnam developing malnutrition on rice alone. It critiques moral panic over “ultra-processed” foods and the scapegoating of unprocessed red meat, while noting global dietary extremes and inconsistencies in what gets praised or blamed. The script also questions longevity obsession, pointing to suicide and fertility issues in Japan and arguing Blue Zones reflect purpose, community, moderation, and faith more than diet alone, concluding there are no unhealthy foods—only unhealthy diets. 00:00 Longevity Diet Hype01:53 The Simplistic Eat Like Them Claim03:36 Milk Genetics And Lactose07:05 Digestion Is Not Uniform09:03 Evolutionary Mismatch Story10:13 Red Meat Numbers And Myths11:54 Beef Logistics And Nutrition14:36 Ultra Processed Moral Panic15:27 Following The Logic Too Far17:02 Culture War And Genetics19:48 Blue Zones Beyond Food21:07 Meaning Over More Years #DietFads #AmericanLongevity #BlueZones #JapanDiet #FrenchParadox #redmeat #UPF #TheTenthManCommentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Send us Fan MailDue Process, the Constitution, and Immigration Enforcement: A Contract, Not a SloganThe script argues that phrases like “freedom of speech,” “separation of church and state,” and “due process” are commonly quoted as slogans and misapplied when separated from the Constitution’s full text and structure. It claims the Constitution is a contract that applies to “We the People of the United States” and is meant to protect citizens from their own government, not to extend Bill of Rights protections to illegal aliens. The speaker focuses on the Fifth Amendment’s due process clause, quoting “no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law,” and contends that immigration enforcement—refusing entry, detaining, or removing illegal immigrants—does not deprive them of life, liberty, or property because they can leave and are only prevented from remaining in the U.S. The script further asserts that the due process clause is aimed at preventing lynchings and mob rule in capital-crime contexts, not guaranteeing elaborate procedures for removal, comparing removal to being ejected from Disney World. It uses analogies (reading sock labels, car-rental contracts) and examples (Pearl Harbor, “hot pursuit,” the “Maryland Father” Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, claims about asylum and benefits, comparisons to Nazi Germany and Venezuela) to argue that critics are creating a constitutional crisis by promoting mob rule, while ICE is enforcing the rule of law, concluding with calls to support ICE and law enforcement and to impeach Democrats for sowing sedition.00:00 Due Process in the Headlines: Why the Constitution Isn’t a Slogan00:33 Misquoting Rights: Free Speech & Religion Taken Out of Context04:26 Read the Label: The Socks Story & Plain-Text Constitution07:21 What a Constitution Is: A Contract for ‘We the People’08:22 Do Non‑Citizens Get Constitutional Rights?

Send us Fan MailDebunking the Housing Affordability MythIn this episode of 'The Tenth Man', the host tackles the pervasive myth that housing has become unaffordable for younger generations due to the actions of Baby Boomers. By dissecting misleading comparisons often circulated by influencers, the host argues that the quality, size, and features of modern homes have drastically evolved from those in 1970, making direct price comparisons invalid. The episode also addresses how influencers use deceptive statistics to stir outrage and asserts that affordable housing options still exist. The key takeaway is that today's housing narrative lacks truth and is driven by misinformation aimed at generating clicks rather than offering genuine guidance.00:00 Introduction: The Housing Affordability Myth00:33 Debunking Viral Housing Memes01:36 The Flawed Comparison of Houses Then and Now06:51 Personal Anecdotes: Buying a Home in the 70s12:05 The Real Issue: Abandoned Houses and Misleading Narratives15:53 Conclusion: The Need for Honest Guidance#TheTenthMan #HousingCrisisMyth #BoomersVsMillennials #affordablehousing #AOC #MamdaniCommentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Any tick can spread it, and the real vector isn’t the tick at all — it’s the deer.We look at America’s 100-fold deer population explosion, why ticks simply follow deer into suburbs, and how “majestic” deer have become attractive vermin spreading disease. We dive into invasive species introduced by well-meaning animal lovers, the media’s lazy climate-change scapegoating, and the political regulations that choke hunters while protecting the very practices that spread disease.From baiting bans to crop-damage permits to the absurd Sandhill Crane law that makes it illegal to eat a bird you were ordered to kill — this episode exposes how wildlife policy has been hijacked by feelings over science.Hunters enter the woods this week to protect public health. The government?
