The Weekly Verdict

On the anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, The Weekly Verdict looks back at the founder of TPUSA: autodidact, Christian, husband, father, and champion of open debate who never attended college but spent his life on campuses challenging ideas. The hosts discuss the happy-warrior path he blazed, the conspiracy theories and tribalism that followed on the Right, celebrations of his death on the Left, and what has and has not changed.

On this episode of 'The Weekly Verdict,' Thomas and Sterling examine the growing male workforce crisis: millions of working-age men are outside the labor force, while many others are underemployed or disconnected from meaningful work. The conversation goes beyond the numbers to explore the cultural, economic, and personal forces behind the trend.  

In this week’s episode of 'The Weekly Verdict,' we reflect on the life, legacy, faith, and enduring cultural impact of Dolly Parton. She truly was an American Icon.

What is the greatest threat to America: Marxism, Islamism, or dependency culture?

The candidates have been chosen and now it's time for the general election.

They examine the Democratic Party’s internal divide, the rise of Democratic Socialists (DSA), and whether voters will be motivated enough to show up in November. Plus: why local elections matter, why candidate vetting is essential, and why political participation cannot be optional.

Ukraine’s battlefield has become the live test range for cheap drones, AI, and next‑gen military tech reshaping modern warfare. In this episode of "The Weekly Verdict," Andrew, Thomas, and Sterling connect last week’s talk on flock cameras and data centers to Ukraine’s drone revolution, U.S. and Chinese AI investments, and Russia’s strategic missteps.

Flock cameras know where you've been. Did you ever consent to that? In this episode of "The Weekly Verdict," Andrew, Ron, and Thomas unpack the rise of AI-powered license plate readers, the massive data centers that process their footage, the private company behind it all, and what a centralized surveillance grid means for crime, freedom, the geopolitical AI arms race, and the future of civil liberties.

Are politicians still people? In an age of social media, political tribalism, and nonstop outrage, it has become easier than ever to see our opponents as avatars instead of human beings. In this episode of The Weekly Verdict, Thomas, Andrew, and Sterling examine the rise of political dehumanization, the loss of dignity in public discourse, and why Americans increasingly celebrate the suffering of people they disagree with.

From establishment politics to rising populist figures, the left appears increasingly divided. We break down two major storylines: a controversial Senate candidate whose scandals forced party leaders to retreat, and the emergence of a new, openly socialist political movement gaining traction in major cities.
