Rick Scott Has a Plan, the GOP Says Shut Up | 03/14/22

Remember how we tell you the GOP stands for nothing. If you needed any further proof of that, well here's this story — Florida GOP senator Rick Scott has an 11-point plan which lays out some details of what the GOP should stand for and support heading in to the 2022 election. Have you heard of the plan? Chances are no...because Ditch and Kevin McCarthy don't want to be held to anything concrete in order to obtain the power they crave. We also take a look at Scott's plan and if it's even worthy o...

Hey Joe, What's an Oil Lease? | 03/09/22

Joe Biden blames Russia, says oil production is better than Trump's first year & claims there are some 9 million unused oil leases just sitting there doing nothing. Yep, it's a #WTFWednesday and we're focusing on Biden's lies and truths told.

2 Sides of the Fascist Coin | 03/07/22

Good vs. Evil? What if the war in Ukraine isn't about good guys vs. bad guys, but really about which version of fascism takes hold in the world? We discuss that, plus Utah Gov. Spencer Cox won't sign a transgender sports bill and we wonder where all the fear and outrage over COVID-19 went.

Oligarchs Are Bad | 03/04/22

Fear in Church? | 03/03/22

Andrew flies solo for today's show. What did I learn by going to two different Ash Wednesday masses? I learned that fear is certainly a powerful drug and it still apparently has its stranglehold on the Catholic Church in Chicago. Additionally, my home state of Wisconsin shows us just how corrupt our election system is and the consequences of taking drugs. Oh, and rejoice, as the iron fist of Chicago is indicted and we may just get justice for 50-plus years of corruption from Mike Madigan! --- Se...

The Masks Come Off | 03/01/22

Amazingly, just on the eve of President Biden's State of the Union address mask mandates are being lifted by state and local officials in heavy-blue states.

The "If Only Trump Were President" Fallacy | 02/25/22

If Trump were president none of this war between Russia and Ukraine would be happening...according to MAGA-forever. Is that true? We discuss that and more goings on in Ukraine.

Good vs. Bad? | 02/24/22

Russia has gone full-war with Ukraine and some on the right are pitting this as a simple matter of foreign policy being about good vs. bad. Is it that simple and if so, what should we be doing? How does it all fit in to Libertarian thought on war? We discuss on this episode of #CriticalThinking. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/criticalthinkingshow/message Hosted on Acast.

Was It Something I Said? | 02/18/22

iHeartRadio continues its vague suspension of MoJo 5.0 Radio and we are wondering if it was something we said?

Now They're Hiding the Data | 02/17/22

If at first you can't convince the people because they can see the data, then you must hide it? Scotland has been one of the best at stratifying their COVID-19 data, but because you can see the myth of the jab being exposed by their transparent data, it must now be hidden from your view. Everything is normal, nothing to see here. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/criticalthinkingshow/message Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

Sic, Semper, Tyrannis | 02/16/22

Canadian trucker blockades end, the Canadian Prime Minister makes unilateral changes to laws and invokes the Emergencies Act for the 1st time in Canadian history. Oh, and students are still subject to masking despite mandates lifting in all other parts of society. What do these two stories have in common?

Hillary Clinton is back in the news, as the Durham investigation continues to reveal the depths to which the Clinton campaign were willing to sink to. Hint, it makes Watergate look tame in comparison. We explore what Durham has exposed and what could or will be done about it. Also, masking in schools is sticking around, why?

The Tyrants Get Violent | 02/14/22

In the latest from the Spirit of the Age, we saw the tyrants in France get violent, very violent with anyone and everyone that dared to be out enjoying life in Paris or protesting. All over the world, violence in the name of government was done upon the people they are supposed to be responsive to. Where do we go from here? Are any of the answers good?

The Power of the Pocketbook | 02/07/22

We bring you lessons from the world of finance and power today — as GoFundMe and Spotify both prove that the power of the pocketbook and your ability to hit their bottom lines is what matters. It's almost as if using capitalism the way it's supposed to work matters?

Lessons from Canadian Truckers | 02/03/22

I Spotify a Government Censor

Government censorship of free speech is never O.K., but that didn't stop White House Press Secretary, Jen Psaki, from letting us all know the government would like to see Spotify do even more to censor so-called "medical misinformation" on it's platform. This is bone-chilling attempts to censor speech they just don't like. We explore why. Oh and ABC suspends Whoopi Goldberg for insane and inaccurate comments on the Holocaust.
