Peasants Perspective ·

2026/01/02

Send us a text What happens when the only way to fix broken systems is to break a few norms? We wade into the fight over the Senate filibuster and ask whether conservatives should narrow or nuke it to pass immigration, election, and welfare reforms while they still can. The stakes feel immediate: budgets dictate reality, and appropriations are where the rules of daily life are written. From there we trace how incentives drive behavior, spotlighting alleged childcare and welfare fraud mechani...

Two Former Inmates Explain Why Accountability Can’t Wait

Peasants Perspective ·

2026/01/01

Send us a text A peaceful protest, a bullhorn, and a prison bus—our story starts there, but it doesn’t end in a cell. We bring you a candid, unvarnished conversation with our friend Doug about what it felt like to go from the Capitol steps to solitary confinement, and what that journey revealed about the FBI, the DOJ, and a justice system that seems to prize narrative over facts. If you’ve ever wondered why “accountability is coming” keeps getting pushed into the future, this one will sit wit...

2025/12/31

Send us a text Doors locked, phones silent, blinds drawn—and yet the checks keep clearing. We chase a swelling trail of alleged fraud from Minnesota daycares to assisted living homes in Washington and Massachusetts, where residential addresses appear on state dashboards as publicly funded care providers. What starts as a viral video turns into a wider inquiry: Who’s auditing enrollment? Who’s verifying capacity? And why do the payouts continue when basic facts on the ground don’t add up? We ...

Minnesota Nice Meets A Mafia State

Peasants Perspective ·

2025/12/30

Send us a text Start with a simple question: if taxpayers fund a full daycare, why are the rooms empty? We dig into Minnesota’s sprawling allegations of childcare and healthcare fraud, the mechanics that let shell entities thrive, and the finger-pointing that starts the moment anyone asks for receipts. From on-the-ground video to oversight letters and whistleblowers, we connect the dots between weak audits, fast name changes, and clustered businesses running millions through the same addresse...

Peasants Perspective ·

2025/12/29

Send us a text The spark was a silver margin call rumor, but the fire is bigger: a generation that demands results and a system that keeps asking for patience. We open with the fragile math of paper markets and why counterparty risk has become a metaphor for trust across politics, media, and law enforcement. If promises are paper, outcomes are metal—and more listeners want to hold the bar. From there we unpack the rise of Zoomer accelerationism: the fitness‑and‑aesthetics ethos, the meme eco...

2025/12/26

Send us a text One minute we’re laughing about Christmas morning and getting called “peasants,” the next we’re staring down a million “new” Epstein documents and asking why institutions keep moving the goalposts. This episode dives straight into the uneasy space where surveillance, censorship, and lawfare shape what we’re allowed to see—and how we’re allowed to think. We pull on the DOJ’s shifting Epstein timeline, then zoom out to the blackmail logic that grows when intelligence power becom...

Peasants Perspective ·

2025/12/25

Send us a text A Christmas show without autopilot or replays—just lived experience and the systems that shape it. We open with a satirical Santa vignette, then drop into a raw conversation about Christmas in the DC jail: the frigid cold, a busted boiler, and the unlikely miracle that came when supporters flooded the phones and forced action. From there, we track a straight line from cell blocks to policy levers: the SAVE Act’s proof-of-citizenship standards that protect ballot anonymity, cour...

Peasants Perspective ·

2025/12/24

Send us a text Start with a hard moment: Christmas Eve in prison feels like any other day. From there, we pull on threads that keep unspooling—why CPS too often beats context, why business and engineering correct bad ideas while certain departments drift, and how a missing civics education leaves voters fluent in vibes and illiterate in structure. The point isn’t to score culture points; it’s to reconnect cause and effect so policy stops breaking people. We weigh the data and the lived reali...

Peasants Perspective ·

2025/12/23

Send us a text A booming GDP headline, a hot price index, and a sober question: who gets to define reality when institutions write the score and audit themselves afterward? We start with the data, then chase the incentives that shape what we’re told to believe—robots walking into restaurants to do dishes, SNAP dollars flowing through corporate balance sheets, and career bureaucrats leveraging process to overrule elected decisions. It’s less conspiracy than calculus: pay structures and pervers...

Peasants Perspective ·

2025/12/22

Send us a text A quiet Christmas ritual can tell you a lot about power. We start with a familiar holiday service and follow the thread into a week where conservative leaders spar onstage, media plays referee, and policy choices carry real costs for families trying to live, work, and raise kids. The question that keeps surfacing: when does repetition anchor us, and when does it turn into control? We break down the TPUSA dustups, why gatekeeping weakens coalitions, and Tulsi Gabbard’s sharp wa...

From Fusion Hype To FBI Doubts: A Candid Rundown;

Peasants Perspective ·

2025/12/19

Send us a text Sirens, permits, and patience—that’s how we kick off a fast-moving hour where disaster recovery meets red tape and we ask whether safety rules protect people or block them from mending their lives. From there, we step into a tougher question: when surveillance tools go dark in the name of privacy, do we accept more risk after shootings, or can cities set smarter, audited rules that balance liberty and safety? The energy conversation heats up with bold fusion claims—private fun...

When Laws Are Paper And Cops Are Power

Peasants Perspective ·

2025/12/18

Send us a text Flooded streets, overwhelmed culverts, and aerial footage of whole valleys under water set the tone for a bracing tour through how systems fail when the baseline is already soaked. We walk through Washington’s flooding in detail—what storm ponds at capacity really mean for neighborhoods, why state and national coverage diverge, and how the true costs show up weeks later in insurance, work, and school disruptions. From there, we zoom into a signature-table confrontation that tu...

Younger Voters Want Action, Not Speeches

Peasants Perspective ·

2025/12/17

Send us a text A Pacific storm can wash out more than roads. We open with relentless flooding across the Northwest—levees failing, highways buried, and landslides on deck—and ask the bigger question: what happens when physical infrastructure and civic trust erode at the same time? From saturated soil to saturated institutions, the pressure is real and rising. We dig into polling that shows a sharp generational break: under-40 voters have little patience for performative politics and want act...

Send us a text A windstorm knocks out power, highways vanish under floodwater, and looters paddle through neighborhoods in kayaks—then the news cycle pivots to a single incendiary post. We open with the chaos at home and ask a harder question: are we so fixated on words that we miss the deeds reshaping the country? We dig into Trump’s $10B lawsuit against the BBC and the power of edited narratives, especially when those clips become the scaffolding for impeachment and lawfare. From there, we...

Peasants Perspective ·

2025/12/15

Send us a text A flooded highway, a shaky bridge, and a mislabeled suspect—this week’s headlines weren’t just dramatic, they were revealing. We connect the dots between washed‑out infrastructure in the Pacific Northwest, a terror attack abroad, and a campus shooting that spiraled into a wrongful “person of interest,” and we ask the question that frames the hour: who actually runs the show, and how do their choices land on regular people? We unpack the “club, not conspiracy” dynamic—shared sc...

Peasants Perspective ·

2025/12/12

Send us a text What if the real story isn’t left vs. right, but whether laws mean what they say and whether institutions still serve the people who fund them? We start with a jarring image from Ukraine’s front lines—trees webbed in fiber-optic tether from drones—then follow that thread through American courtrooms, city streets, and the markets that price your fuel, food, and future. The pattern repeats: when leaders favor narratives over enforcement, ordinary people pay the bill. We unpack T...

If Self-Government Is Real, Why Do The Rich Decide?

Peasants Perspective ·

2025/12/11

Send us a text A storm outside sets the mood for a bigger tempest: who actually makes the decisions that shape our lives? We start with wonder—a comet spitting colossal jets—then move straight into the machinery of influence, from a small set of global stakeholders to prosecutors who admit they’re venue shopping. The throughline is uncomfortable but clear: when laws are flexible for the powerful and rigid for everyone else, trust collapses and the system begins to look like theater. We unpac...

2025/12/10

Send us a text The week felt engineered to rattle you: soaring costs that don’t match the talking points, a migration wave that local systems can’t absorb, and a parade of headlines that blur the line between policy and theater. We pull those threads tight. First, we start with purpose—yes, even Elon Musk went there—because a country that believes in meaning has a way of resisting drift. From there, we lay out the bread-and-butter stakes: no tax on tips and overtime matters when inflation eat...

2025/12/09

Send us a text A five-year manhunt ends with a suspect who loves My Little Pony and DoorDash—and a prosecution team tied to heavy-handed confessions. We dig into timelines, gait comparisons, and evidence gaps that make the “lone bomber” narrative wobble, then follow the thread to the gatekeepers who shape outcomes: the DOJ, Inspectors General, and the media figures who blessed a tidy story with few answers. If the public is asked to trust the process, the process has to earn it. From there, ...

Somali Fraud, Pipe Bombs, And Power

Peasants Perspective ·

2025/12/08

Send us a text What happens when the people paid to guard the gate start picking the lock? We dig into a string of stories that reveal how institutions can fail in plain sight: a DEA official charged in a narco-money scheme, a Minnesota fraud scandal ballooning from millions to billions, and a J6 pipe bomb case reigniting old questions about prosecutors, process, and credibility. We connect these dots to the everyday toll—rising prices, higher taxes, and a sense that those who play by the rul...
