In this episode of Old Enough to Know Better, host E. G. Weiss rips the mask off the fantasy that America is living in harmony. From Portland’s nightly chaos, to Antifa’s frog-costumed thugs, to law enforcement leaders begging for accountability, to the DHS 2025 Threat Assessment that reads like a horror novel; this is the reality behind the politicians’ hollow promises of “peace.” We talk about Erika Kirk’s courage in the face of vile attacks, Biden’s open-border blunders, fentanyl flooding ...

From Defense to War: America’s Return to Real Leadership

Old Enough to Know Better ·

2025/09/09

In this episode of Old Enough to Know Better, our host dives into the history behind Trump’s decision to rename the Department of Defense back to the Department of War. From its founding in 1789 through World War II, America called its military what it was… war. Only in 1947 did we soften the language to “defense,” and with it came a culture of reactivity that has left us on our heels for decades. We’ll explore how words shape psychology, why renaming matters, and why liberals are losing thei...

2025/08/25

In this episode of Old Enough to Know Better, E.G. Weiss takes aim at the battle between America’s cops on the streets and the politicians in the spotlight. From the blood-soaked streets of Chicago in 1968 to today’s debate over military deployment in our nation’s capital and in Chicago itself, this episode digs into crime statistics, National Guard authority, and the hypocrisy of leaders who care more about optics than officer safety.

RADIOS, RELATIONSHIPS AND OTHER THINGS THAT DON’T WORK

2025/08/22

In this episode of Old Enough to Know Better, host E.G. Weiss rips into the never-ending comedy of errors known as emergency communications. From Texas responders still struggling to talk to each other in the middle of floods, to the nationwide failure of cross-training between agencies, Weiss blends sarcasm with bitter truth to expose why “interoperability” is more theory than practice.

Let’s talk about denim, DNA, and the death of an era that just might change the lives of responders. How does it all fit together? Your host has figured it out. This week, we interupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you this special episode and a take on the Sydney Sweeney ad that sent the left into a meltdown. Why?

As schools reopen across the country, too many administrators are dusting off last year’s emergency plans and pretending they’re still enough. They’re not. In this explosive, no-holds-barred episode, Weiss tears into the broken, cookie-cutter approach to school safety and explain why compliance isn’t protection, and box-checking isn’t leadership.

The cartels didn’t back off. They leveled up. While Washington plays politics, our enemies across the border have become smarter, richer, more brutal and fully embedded in American communities.

Weiss exposes how cartels like CJNG, Sinaloa, and Tren de Aragua are recruiting inside U.S. schools, trafficking synthetic poisons into our suburbs, and operating with better tech than some of our own agencies.
