Send us a text Privacy is dying, and we're watching it happen in real-time. In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore how the internet's last bastions of anonymity are crumbling under increasing pressures for verification and identification. Remember when you could be anonymous online? Those days are numbered, as more platforms require government IDs and collect vast troves of personal data that inevitably get breached. The SIG P320 controversy continues to send shockwaves through the fi...

Send us a text What happens when politicians betray the very principles that got them elected? In this wide-ranging conversation, we dive deep into the alarming betrayal of Second Amendment rights by Republicans who allowed an amendment to raise the NFA tax stamp to $4,000 instead of simply removing the section altogether. The systematic problem of elected officials growing comfortable in power and abandoning their constituents runs deep through American politics. As we explore, "The problem...

Send us a text What if Star Trek's utopian Federation is actually a totalitarian socialist regime? This provocative idea kicks off our wide-ranging conversation, examining how Starfleet combines military and governmental power in ways that might make libertarians cringe. The discussion takes a serious turn as we analyze Trump's handling of the Epstein files, questioning why a president who campaigned on transparency is now dismissing public interest in the case. Could this be Trump's "Nixon ...

Send us a text What happens when promises of transparency collide with political reality? This week, we dive into the controversial release of the Epstein files and why what wasn't shown matters more than what was. The pattern of flip-flopping from "we'll release everything" to heavily redacted binders has left many wondering whether Trump is compromised or something bigger is at play. Could Epstein have been a government asset all along? The conversation shifts to an analysis of Elon Musk's...

Send us a text The political pendulum continues to swing as we examine the recent setback for Second Amendment advocates in what was supposed to be a legislative victory lap. After the House included provisions to remove suppressors and short-barreled rifles from NFA registry in Trump's "big beautiful bill," the Senate parliamentarian threw cold water on these plans. This episode dives deep into why the Senate operates so differently from the House, with Gene offering a perspective that cuts ...

Send us a text America just flexed its military muscle in a way that hasn't been seen in decades. The coordinated strike against Iran's nuclear facilities involved six B-2 stealth bombers carrying twelve bunker-busters, over 120 support aircraft, and submarine-launched Tomahawk missiles. But this wasn't just about Iran – the simultaneous deployment of additional B-2s to Guam sent an unmistakable message to China that the US can project overwhelming power across multiple theaters. The operati...

This question forms the backdrop of a provocative discussion about the Israel-Iran conflict and America's role in foreign affairs. Rather than offering simple answers, we explore the complicated reality that nations should be allowed to make their own decisions – but with that freedom comes the responsibility to handle the consequences without external rescue. The conversation shifts between global tensions...

From California's border crisis, where President Trump has deployed troops against Governor Newsom's wishes, to the spectacular public falling-out between Trump and Elon Musk, we're witnessing real-time fracturing of political alliances and constitutional norms. What makes this moment particularly concerning is how both Pat Buchanan and Ray Dalio—voices from different spheres—are openly discussing the potent...

Send us a text The Second Amendment faces a pivotal moment as Congress considers legislation that could fundamentally reshape gun rights in America. We dive into the House's passage of a bill that would remove suppressors from NFA regulation, potentially eliminating the onerous $200 tax stamp requirement that dates back to the 1930s when it represented the equivalent of $4,000 in today's dollars. While optimism runs high among gun rights advocates, we explore the political realities fa...

Send us a text The facade has finally cracked. When Axios released portions of President Biden's deposition tape last week, it confirmed what many suspected but few would publicly acknowledge - we've had a president who wasn't mentally capable of fulfilling his duties. The shocking audio reveals a man struggling with basic facts, confusing timelines, and exhibiting clear signs of cognitive decline that should have triggered constitutional safeguards. What's equally troubling is the system's ...

Have we crossed into territory where our judicial system has become so corrupt that third-world tactics are now necessary? This raw, unfiltered conversation explores what happens when those entrusted to uphold the law become its most flagrant violators.

When a stabbing occurs at a track meet in Texas, the immediate question becomes: how would coverage differ if the roles were reversed? This pattern of selective outrage and manipulated storytelling has become so predictable that many Americans simply tune out, unable to trust what they're being told. Constitutional rights and their application form the back...

The timing—just one day after Zelensky's ominous prediction about Putin—feels almost scripted, yet mainstream media remains surprisingly quiet.

What begins with weather damage quickly transforms into a deep dive on Trump's game-changing proposal to eliminate income taxes for Americans earning under $150,000 – a move one host suggests could effectively "out-Bernie Bernie Sanders" and potentially reshape the electoral landscape.
