Some towns are raffling off video doorbell ringers to some citizens. It is believed that it reduces crime. In some areas they have seen a 25% reduction in burglaries. I think these are good preventive measures and also very useful. If someone is at the door and I'm not home I would like to see who it is. As time goes on technology gets more and more intertwined with are daily lives. Some not so good but I believe video doorbells are very useful. Thank you for listening. Rate, review, and subscri...

This week Elon Musk announced a new company called Neuralink. The purpose is to build threads that can be put in our brains through holes that are lasered by a laser that doesn't exist yet. Try to wrap your head around that. The goal is to help people interact with their electronic devices through their mind and eventually with each other. Sweden is already planting little chips the size of a grain of rice into their hands. With this they can open doors and pay for things. It looks like the futu...

Johnson & Johnson are developing an HIV vaccine. I go over some HIV and AIDS statistics as well as go over an article from the Los Angeles Times. For 30 years HIV has lead to AIDS taking many lives. Because the Virus mutates so quickly scientists haven't been able to come up with a cure. They think a vaccine is the way to go. Also the USWNT won the World Cup. During the celebration Allie Long and Megan Rapinoe drop the US Flag on the ground but it was quickly picked up by Kelley O'Hara. I br...

Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on charges for sex trafficking of minors. He was arrested July 6, 2019. In 2005 investigations started on him and in 2008 he was charged. He got off on a very lenient deal. 18 months prison. Instead of going to state prison like most sex offenders he got his own wing at the Palm Beach Stockade. It makes you wonder who was protecting this guy? He allegedly has information of other powerful men having sex with young girls at his mansion and other properties. Christine ...

At the beginning Facebook was just a place where people went to look at pictures of friends or look at pictures of love interests. As time has gone on it has turned into something completely different. Now it's a place where business's can interact with clients and potential clients. Friends old and new connecting. Also a place for people to post images and news articles from trustworthy new sources and untrustworthy sources. It is because of the latter where problems have come about on what Fac...

Gun Violence in general is bad. Even worse is trying to politicize a situation and not look for a definitive solution for the problem. Criminals don't go to the gun store to buy guns. They get guns by other means. Creating more gun laws don't prohibit criminals from getting weapons, it makes it harder for law abiding people to get them. So if gun laws don't work what will? I believe investing in the education system is the solution. If we could invest more money in kids and educate them, they wo...

Fair Oaks Farms is under fire right now because of some inhumane treatment of some of the cattle at the farm. There was video tapped mistreatment of the calves and cows. This was brought to light and a lot of local grocery stores that they do business with have been pulling out of their business relationships with the farm. You would think there would be some kind of oversight on this kind of thing already. To the owners credit he started firing some of the individuals before this report came ou...

This podcast may open up some eyes to a few things. I also think some may look at their social media feeds a little differently. Social media censorship is a real thing. You are not allowed to say certain things on social media or you may face some consequences. With our constitutional rights to free speech can social media companies censor us? I understand having kid filters but censoring adults is a different story. When watching or reading the news be sure to look into what you have watched f...

Gary Gordon and Randy Shughart are personal hero's of mine. I saw Blackhawk Down as a kid and their characters were the biggest thing I took away from the movie. I thought of selflessness and how important it is. I thought about the camaraderie of the military. To be willing to give your life for one another. I was headed to basic training in 2 weeks after seeing that movie and I was excited for what I was joining. They had a huge impact on my life and I never had the honor of meeting them. It w...

New York passed new abortion legislation in 2019 that made abortion legal after 28 weeks. This week Alabama practically banned abortion outright. It seems the states are in a race to outlaw or keep legalization. There are so many opinions about the issue and a lot of people have been weighing in on it. Its seems that with most there is either one of the other and I believe that there is an area in the middle that can appease everyone. Also one big thing that is missing is accountability from ind...

Boxing is one of the main forms of self defense that I feel people should be familiar with. That is because every fight starts with 2 people standing so you should know at least how to throw a proper punch. On the show today we have someone who threw punches better than most. Ruben T"he Modern Warrior" Galvan. Ruben Galvan has fought on HBO, PPV, ESPN and Showtime, in places like the MGM Grand versus opponents like Caesar Chavez Jr. (19-0), Zab Judah (34-4), Marty Jakubowski (111-6). He was a gr...

J.B. Pritzker, the Governor of Illinois released plans to legalize marijuana in Illinois. It is a divisive issue because there are people that are for it and some who are not. Most importantly is what are the ramifications of doing so? When prohibition started it was the birth of organized crime. Now that marijuana is becoming legal in a commonly know corrupt state like Illinois, who knows what it holds. Most noteworthy is Chicago's influence on the entire state. Normally everything runs through...

Sri Lanka was rocked with a tragedy this weekend. Bombs went off at 8 different locations killing 200 and wounding 450. Those figures are bound to go up. The bombs went off in 8 locations and most noteworthy, it is believed that the attack was meant to target Christians. It's difficult to comprehend something like this. Normally we see what the tragedy is, say how terrible it is, then go on with our day. It's important to understand that these things can happen here as well. The Government and f...

Flint Michigan has been having water quality issues for quiet some time now. They are getting 77 Million to help with projects that will complete a pipeline hooking up to a secondary water source, replacement of the Northwest Transmission Main, and water meter replacements to name a few. It makes one wonder "how did it come to this"? Shouldn't the local government have a plan in place to have had these things done years ago? Notre Dame Cathedral went a blaze (which is horrific) and the governmen...

Dr Dan Pronk is an ex-special forces doctor with the Australian Special Air Service. His Book "Average 70KG Dickhead" was an excellent read. Some books read fast and some read slow. I would say this book read at a great pace. Not to fast and not to slow. Dan really broke down what he was experiencing at the time and then articulated what he learned. He stressed the lessons learned while also giving examples of mistakes that he made. That's helpful because sometimes when we hear a story we think ...

The Cosmos is a breadth of wonder and awe. Wednesday a new picture of a blackhole was released. It's pretty amazing because all they were able to capture was a distorted ring of light surrounding it. Most noteworthy it is estimated to be the 6.5 billion times bigger than our Sun. These things are always interesting because it show just how small we are compared to everything else. Our everyday problems and what we consider to be a big deal is nothing compared to the scheme of things of the unive...

It is becoming incredibly obvious that the mainstream media enables people. There are people that watch the news, take it at face value, and go on with their lives. It doesn't matter what it is said. They just believe what is told to them. When people do that it leaves the truth out in the wind and it changes their behavior in a way where they blame things that happen to them because what is told to them on the news. This happens on the left and the right. This could be the reason why there are ...

Pre and Mike talk pollution statistics, 10 bad last names, and sports. Seems like there is a lot going on these days and we wanted to lighten it up a little bit. We go over some pollution statistics that I spoke about on the last podcast. Most noteworthy is how the mainstream media makes us believe that the United States is the biggest culprits.

Pre talks about awareness, fitness, and being subjective when watching the news. Generally being aware is being mindful of your surroundings. Being able to recognize when things don't seem right. Normally when we walk around we don't pay attention to what is going on around us. That is a problem. I want people to take their heads out of their phones and start paying attention to who is walking around. Coming off of a cold winter is great. Problem is our muscles are tight and need to be loosened ...

Lane Belone gives insight on his Special Forces career, mindset, and traveling this week on the podcast.

Lane also gives us his mindset on making it through selection and how he trained. After his...

Nepotism is meant to help but seldomly does. Nepotism is something that isn't taken into consideration while you are doing it. At the moment you are looking to help but not thinking about the person's growth. It's as the saying in The Bible goes, "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach him to fish and feed him for a lifetime". Life lessons are always the hardest lesson's learned. As parents we try to give our kids a better life than ours but don't take into consideration that hard times...

Leaving Neverland is the hottest topic on all the news feeds therefore we breakdown a timeline of the events and have a discussion on the documentary. Michael Jackson was bigger than life for a lot of people. Most importantly did that play a roll with what happened? Why did Wade Robson and Jimmy Safechuck wait so long to report this? Why did their parents let them sleep in the same bed with an adult male? Was it worth it? Sadly both of their families paid a big price when they let Michael Jackso...

Robert Kraft and massage parlors is about Robert Kraft getting caught getting a happy ending at a massage parlor. Is this really news? Apparently it is because he is the owner of the New England Patriots who just won the Super Bowl. Should there be repercussions from the NFL? I think the story coming out and him taking a brunt of the blame is harsh. The story should be "Prostitution was discovered at this massage parlor". What does it matter who the person is. It's an interesting argument becaus...
