This week Elon Musk became the worlds first trillionaire. This happens right off the heels of House Speaker Mike Johnson's remarks about entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security costing the country too much, and a recent watchdog report stating that by 2032 Social Security will see a 20% cut in payments to recipients.
This episode sees us debate Elon Musk and his wealth, as well as question whether or not America's economic policy for the past 50+ years, Trickle Down Economics a.k.a Reganomics, has done more harm than good.
Listen to us discuss the importance of elections and being politically involved, and the need to break away from partisan politics. And in a world where we simultaneously have a trillionaire and most Americans can't afford a house or a family, are we seeing the beginning of the end of capitalism?

Political Influencers
Former MAGA influencer Ashley St. Claire's recent political rebrand has inspired us to dive into the realm of political influencers. A very financially lucrative realm.
We break down the rise of political influencers and how what they say and post is rooted more in what side of the aisle their source of income is positioned rather than any actual beliefs.
We also discuss the fact that there is a lot of dark money involved in this world, not all of it originating from with in the borders of the United States.

We're Back! Life gets in the way sometimes.
This episode goes all over the place, starting with the assassination that shaped modern history and discussing the butterfly effect it has on our modern day.

"The Dow Is Over 50,000 Right Now"
The stock market. That is what Attorney General Pam Bondi seemed concerned about during a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee. Not Americans being shot by I.C.E. agents. Not the release (or lack thereof) of The Epstein Files. The stock market. And if you, like Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky), dared challenge her, then you might be the latest person to have a case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Was this the normal American political theatre? Or was this this the latest in what seems to be a growing list of people surrounding President Trump to be swept up in his cult of personality?
Join us this episode as we recap AG Bondi's testimony, how it differed from Kash Patel's and how one or both of them may have perjured themselves.
We give our thoughts on why these files likely won't see the light of day anytime in the near future, and why Democrats and Republicans alike will use the victims and the files as political tools, but neither side will likely ever make a meaningful attempt to release the information for fear of bringing the entire elite class down.
Furthermore, we discuss how the Intelligence Community, Mossad or the C.I.A., also likely play a part in keeping these files behind closed doors. After all, blackmail only works if the secrets stay secret.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act
On November 19, 2025 The Epstein Files Transparency Act was signed into law. The law clearly stated that by December 19, 2025 the Epstein Files were supposed to be released unredacted (save for information pertaining to his victims) in their entirety.
But, as of this episode's recording, only a portion of those files have been released. Even worse, what the DOJ has released has been black inked page after black inked page. And with the recent batch of files that were released, information pertaining to victims was released. Worse still, some of what was released were graphic images of the victims, including some that may have been taken while they were underage.
In this episode, we breakdown how both the Democrats and the Republicans ignored the Epstein Files until the pressure from the American public was too much to ignore. We discuss President Trump's constant flip-flopping on the issue, and why the government seems more concerned with protecting the identities of the alleged perpetrators than getting justice for Epstein's victims.

What Constitutes A War?
In this episode, we discuss a debate between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) on what the word 'war' means and who should be declaring it. We talk about the geopolitical chess game that the United States is playing with Venezuela, Greenland and potentially soon Iran.
We discuss how Israel has played a part in America's decision making about foreign intervention when it comes to states in the Middle East, and how they might be doing it again, as well as what kind of ally they really are.
We talk about how Congress has steadily given more and more of it's powers to the Executive since WWII and how they have not kept up with increasingly faster military technology, and in a world were seconds can matter in a first strike, how they need to make new laws to help make decisions faster.

A Second I.C.E. Shooting....
A second tragic shooting involving I.C.E. took place today in Minneapolis.
In this episode we discuss the events that led up to the shooting as well as how political tribalism has shaped the conversation around it. We talk about the issues America faces with policing in general, as well as how much of the blame is shared by law enforcement, protestors and politicians.
We discuss how government officials on both sides of the aisle responded to the shooting, how political ideology and confirmation bias played a part in their statements, and how a potentially defective gun may have caused both sides to have it all wrong.

The Unexpected Greenland Part 2 And A Shift In Future Of The Democratic Party
President Trump flip-flopping on Greenland? What was Gavin Newsome doing at the Davos Economic Summit? Is NATO taking advantage of the U.S.?
Greenland pt.2, an island no one cared about two years ago but is finding itself at the forefront of geopolitics.
In this episode we talk more about President Trump's position on Greenland. We discuss NATO, and address concern that Europe isn't pulling their share of the load. We figure out what Gavin Newsome, the Governor of California, is doing at an international summit in Switzerland. We get to the bottom of how this all ties into Newsome's hopes for a presidential run, and why Democratic Governors, not Senators, may be the future of the Party's presidential hopes in 2028.

When The News Was Boring: A Progressive's Critique of the Left
Our resident progressive's new most hated phrase: "I miss when the news was boring." Join us as he has a therapeutic vent about his side of the aisle.
On this episode we push back against political tribalism and blindly supporting your side, even when they may be in the wrong.
We discuss the political hypocrisy of both sides, and while in this episode we focus mostly on the Democrats and the political left, we will break down a Republican's thoughts on Republican party and the political right in a future episode.
(Apologies for our conservatives mic breaking periodically, there were some slight network issues)

The Trump Class Battleship? An Invasion of Venezuela?
What started as an innocent and boring conversation about U.S. naval capabilities and a potential WW3 quickly takes a left turn as we learn in real time about the U.S. attack on Venezuela, a country most Americans likely couldn't find on a map at the time.
Was this in America's best interest, and how does this play a part in the larger geopolitical game of chess that the modern Great Powers are playing?
(Our most sincerely apologies about any bad audio quality, this was recorded before the new mics.)
