Episode 219: Overhyping the Presidential Race

Every 4 years the media, political pundits, and ideologues make the Presidential Election seem like the make or break event of the Nation's survival. However, it always ends up being the same old story. Nothing changes, and the needs of the people are not met. I make suggestions as to what both the Democrats and Republicans can do to make our country a better place to live.

Episode 218: AI is an Existential Threat

Artificial Intelligence is perhaps the leading threat against Humanities Existence. While many will say that, in fact, Climate Change or Nuclear War are bigger threats, they do not take into account the key difference with AI. Artificial Intelligence seeks to become Human by stripping away Humans of our Humanity. AI can replicate Human emotions, creativity, passion, intellect, and ambition. While Nuclear Bombs and Climate disaster can eliminate or hold back human progress, Artificial Intelligenc...

I am joined by Economist and Political Analyst Anthony Coates where we critique the "affordable housing" initiative by the Hochul Administration.

Episode 214: Roe v. Wade After 50 Years

I discuss the recent Women's Marches that occurred Nationally in response to the overturn of Roe v. Wade in what would have been its 50th Anniversary.

Episode 211: Gas Stoves or Death!

I passionately disagree with Green Imperialists making attempts to ban Gas Stoves from being used by the American Citizenry.

Episode 207: George Santos' Fake Resume

It has been conclusively reported that George Santos' Resume was fraudulent. Claiming he worked at Goldman Sachs and Graduated from Harvard alongside other ridiculous claims. This has prompted anger and questions of what should be done on both sides of the aisle.

Episode 206: Against Assisted Suicide

I make the case for why Canada's Assisted Suicide Program is tyranny masked as individual choice. The Canadian model for Euthanasia is incredibly broad. It allows the homeless, disabled, sick, elderly, and soon the mentally ill to ask their doctors to be Euthanized. I explain why this is tyrannical by making comparisons to the Eugenics movement of the 1920's in America, Great Britain, Nazi German and Imperial Japan. I also express my fears for the devasting impact such a law would have in Americ...

Episode 196: Van Life

Van Life is a trendy way to be homeless without the inconveniences of freezing or overheating to death. I talk about the cool aspects of Van Life, such as the craftsmanship and freedom. However, I also address the emerging view that van life and tiny homes are a "solution" to the housing crisis. This lifestyle is not a solution, rather it is just that. A lifestyle.

After a long hiatus I discuss why America must return to Civic Responsibility. We need to understand how our country works, its history, ideals, and our duty to maintain the country.
