Who Gets to Decide?
Eps 621 - Are We Headed for a Dystopian Future?

At this point, it's obvious that there is some "GLOBAL" agenda to subjugate Western Civilization and it citizens in a very oppressive way at some point in the future. All the new technology around AI, communication, and finance seems to be converging in this direction. We could spend a lot of time talking about why this is happening or we could spend our time trying to understand the mechanisms that allow this behavior to happen in the first place, and then remove these levers from institutions. I'm for inquiry into the latter. The dual linchpin mechanism is 1) Fiat money and 2) The ability for interest groups to direct government force on behalf of a very small minority. If you could change these two things America's business as usual in with our elites would stop overnight

Eps 620 - Will the REAL MAGA Step Forward?

People are tired of the "War Party", which by definition is the establishment Democrats and the establishment Republicans, or just the establishment. They are desperately trying to drive out the REAL America First crowd by neutralizing their voices from independent media. I don't think it will work but boy that is not keeping them from trying. Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are being labeled as the enemy, un-American, and not America First. Nick Fuentes is being called a Nazi, Jew Hating, racist. The establishment right has turned into the left. Crazy times!

Eps 619 - Groceries and Bus Rides FREE Under Mamdami

Why do voters (in Blue cities) fall for politicians peddling FREE stuff? Haven't we seen this playbook thousands of times at this point? Fiat money is nearly FREE but the REAL resources that politicians use to purchase these resource are absolutely NOT FREE. This is especially challenging for levels of government that cannot access the printing press because they have to steal it from somebody. Mamdani has his eyes set on "the rich". Margaret Thatcher famously said, "The problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money."

Those Americans on SNAP benefits are getting a little ittitated that taxpayers have lost thier enthusiam for carrying the burden of supplying food to their families. It's amazing that so few Americans are just learning about this practice and many of them are shocked about the numbers. It really shows just how opaque these programs are.

Eps 615 - Republic or Democracy: Which is it Anyway?

It's generally agreed that the American form of government led to the largest explosion of prosperity in the history of the world. Lately, however, it seems to be leading to a decline in prosperity. What's going on? Why is this happening, and what changed?

Is Edward Snowden a Patriot or a Traitor? The answer to this question depends a lot on who you ask. However, everyone's answer seems to fall into one bucket or the other. There's not much middle ground. This interview with Joe Rogan is a good way to start to weigh-in on this question if you're still standing in this middle ground.

Eps 611 - ObamaCare was NEVER Going to FIX Healthcare in America!

I hate to say it, but I always knew that the Affordable Care Act was never going to FIX the healthcare system in America. It was crony-capitalism right out of the chute and the American middle class got left holding the bag! Liberty, property and free markets are the cornerstone of the American experiment. Abandoning these principles doesn't lead to more prosperity, it leads to less. I never really understood the concept of trying to evade reality. Reality exists and attempting to evade it just leads to great problems down the road. We all know this but when it comes to government, we somehow imagine that evading reality collectively will make a difference. Well, it simply does not.

Essay "The Law" by Frederic Bastiat

https://mises.org/library/book/law

The Affordable Care Act Notes

🧩 Opening Framing

• The ACA began with a promise: coverage, affordability, and reform — but 15 years later, those promises remain largely unfulfilled.

• Politicians now ask for more subsidies, insurance companies want more money, and the public faces higher premiums and thinner coverage.

🔥 Broken Promises & Structural Failures

• “If you like your plan, you can keep it” — Millions lost coverage or saw their plans gutted. This wasn’t a glitch; it was a structural failure.

• Premiums will drop by $2,500 per family — Instead, premiums soared for the unsubsidized. Middle-class families absorbed the cost.

• Universal coverage — Still over 25 million uninsured, and 90 million functionally uninsured due to sky-high deductibles.

• Preexisting condition protections — Only applied to ~5–10% of the population. Most already had coverage through Medicare, Medicaid, or employer plans.

• Essential health benefits — Translated to loss of affordable, lean coverage. No more skinny plans. No more choice.

💸 Middle-Class Squeeze

• Subsidies didn’t make coverage affordable — they masked rising costs and shifted the burden to the middle class.

• No warning, no cushion — just a trap door for middle-income Americans.

🏥 Medicaid & Employer Fallout

• Medicaid expansion was optional — many states opted out, leaving millions without coverage or subsidies.

• Employer mandate backfired — companies cut hours, froze hiring, and pushed full-time workers into part-time status.

💻 Tech Failures & Deficit Myths

• Healthcare.gov was promised to be seamless — it crashed on launch, cost billions, and enriched insiders.

• Deficit reduction never materialized — subsidy costs exploded, and creative accounting masked the reality.

🧠 Systemic Critique

• ACA papered over a broken system without fixing the root causes: bad incentives, entrenched bureaucracy, and insurance complexity.

• Promises were sold, but never delivered — the middle class lost, while bureaucracy and financial interests won.

Eps 610 - Kash Patel Dodging Epstein Questions in House Judiciary Hearing

Listening to Kash Patel just deflect and obfuscate questions in order to obscure the TRUTH is infuriating. When he and Devin Nunez took on the deep state for the illegal activity perpetrated on Trump during his first administration, he appeared to be a real warrior for truth. However, now that the truth is inconvenient for both side of the aisle, he has turned into the very person that he was fighting against during the first Trump Administration.

Eps 609 - MTG & Other Critics of Israel are NOT Suicidal


I think we are at a key inflection point in America. This is a point where we've reached a sufficient mass of people who just don't believe in the propaganda any longer. People like Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Dave Smith, Tom Woods, Scott Horton and Darryl Cooper have helped to open the eyes of a critical mass of the population. I think when we look back, we will be able to see that Charlie Kirk's assassination marked the beginning of this watershed moment.

2. How did the rifle get to the bushes where it was found?

3. Is there a video of Tyler Robinson getting on the roof with a rifle?

4. If he broke it down and assembled it on the roof, how was it accurate at 143 yards.

5. If he broke it down and put it in his backpack before leaving the roof, how long would that take and would it still match the timeline between the shooting and him jumping off the roof?

Eps 606 - The Immigration Debacle is Getting Worse

Under Biden-Harris Illegal Immigration exploded. Billions of dollars were spent housing, feeding and schooling these people but to what end? Perhaps we'll never know, but what we do know is the clean-up is a complete debacle for a free society. What did the politicians think was going to happen as a result of letting 10 million new immigrants into the country with no means to care for themselves or their families?

Eps 605 - Andrew Tate's Take on America Post Kirk Assassination

Andrew Tate is often characterized as a misogynist and bigot, and I really don't listen to him much at all. He seems pretty smart to me and I think he has a very thoughtful take on the implication of the Charlie Kirk assassination and the state of America more broadly.

Megyn Kelly too, is a thoughtful and honest person providing commentary on the right who explores the origin of when America started to go wrong. I personally things went wrong a lot sooner than she thinks but her commentary is very thought-provoking.

Eps 604 - Charlie Kirk Assassinated While Showing Us How to Engage not so "Civil Society"

Just a tragic day for the Kirk family, Republicans, freedom-loving Americans and Turning Point USA followers as Charlie Kirk was violently executed in front of thousands of freedom-loving fans today at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University. As he sat down and began to engage the crowd in his signature "Prove Me Wrong" event where he fields topics from you people and answers questions about his views on a wide range of topics. Kirk has been a huge supporter of the American Founding, our rights as laid out in The Constitution and The Declaration of Independence. He defended these ideas by asking his challengers questions and answering theirs, a uniquely American activity in our political history. A gunman from one of the nearby rooftops ended the discussion today with a fatal shot Kirks neck. It was a horrific scene and real sad commentary on the state of our political outlook as a nation.

Eps 602 - Bernie Sanders: Brilliant or Misguided

Bernie Sanders is one of the most popular politicians in America today. Why would this be? In short, Senator Sanders is very good at understanding and paying attention to the problems of the masses. In some ways, he is ahead of the game. Many politicians don't even understand the problems facing Americans. They are simply looking for that winning issue, likely with NO intention of actually putting forth a workable solution.

Bernie's problem, however, his solutions are all wrong. It reminds of that scene in Hunt for Red October when Jack Ryan is explaining to Captain Ramius about the books he had written on the famous Captain. Ramius admonished Ryan and told him his conclusions were all wrong. Unfortunately there is nobody to set Senator Sanders on the righteous path. He is forever going around talking about real problems but offering no workable solutions.

Eps 601 - HHS Secretary RFK Jr. Ambushed in Congressional Heating

These Congressional hearings are such a circus. They call them oversight but the American public learns little to nothing in them. This is by design. The purpose is not to get to truth but smear the administration in power (or provide cover) depending on which side of the aisle you're on. The members have been completely captured by the medical establishment such that you are never really going to hear from them about what's going on. The entire thing is so political, you can't really make sense of it. As a result, you mostly get a circus!
