The final 2016 episode!In this edition I recap how my Christmas holiday went, and figuring out another reason why it has become a more favorite time of year for me recently. Then I focus on resolutions, and why I do not much like the practice of New Years Resolutions or the saying "New year, new me!" I also viewed Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and speak about it spoiler-free. A future episode will encompass more in-depth talk about the state of the Star Wars Universe under the banner of Disney. ...

IN THIS EPISODE:Fritzcast airs the first, mostly non-political oriented episode! Rather than pick apart the President-Elect, Cabinet member choices, or look at whatever policy issues that are under a microscope, I just talk about some Christmas things, including childhood memories, my love of Christmas decorating and my growing collection of unique Christmas stuffs. I even talk about an article I wrote on it and posted to my LinkedIn account (SEE: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/spirit-decorating...

In this FULL FLEDGED Episode:I open talking about Christmas Music (The bane of some people's existence, the joy of others). I think, arguably, Frank Sinatra is the best christmas music. Then I talk about my experience for the past three weeks in my Field Training capacity. It truly is a joy to be a part of building up a program that started with little. Finally, Trump and Trump's cabinet...I'm not so optimistic.MUSIC INFORMATION:Wish Background Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creat...

IN THIS EPISODE: I missed last week's FritzCast, and open with why! Then I dive right into Donald Trump and Twittermania! Speaking of Donald Trump, how about some of his cabinet picks? Good? Bad? Indifferent?Finally, the Dakota Access Pipeline...it has been halted, not scraped.

In this Fritzcast Fritzforward:It's ALL about the Hamilton's, baby! VP-Elect Mike Pence goes to broadway for a viewing of Hamilton, and after the show concludes, Aaron Burr (...ok ok, the guy portraying Aaron Burr) has a message to share. The internet promptly blew up. That's a little insane right? Also, Trump Cabinet proposals, such as Mitt Romney, and finally, Bernie Sanders tells the DNC to wake up. ENJOY! Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of FritzCast:We have had an historic, for better or worse, election and a new President Elect in Donald J. Trump. In this episode, I overview the numbers in the popular vote, the criticisms of the Electoral College, and why I think neither matters because of the deadlock the nation seems to be in.

In this edition: I open with BATTLEFIELD 1, the greatest all out war sim / shooter this year. Then, straight into our topics for this week. An overview of the FINAL (YAY!) Presidential Debate this year and the outstanding job by Chris Wallace. A couple of keys I focus on from the debate? Supreme Court, and the Second Amendment. Then I focus on Trump...what does he mean by "rigged" election? I think people are thinking too one-dimensionally on the issue. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for...

IN THIS EPISODE: I hope you are ready for the 3rd and final debate, which will pit Hillary Clinton against Donald Trump, again leaving out third party voices. I open talking about my first week using solar energy and why I am loving every bit of it (hint: it's not so I can be preachy and talk about how I am saving the world, because I'm not.) I then cover Donald Trump's poll numbers, the attitude of die-hard Trump supporters towards the GOP members turning their backs on Trump and the dangerous ...

Well folks, we had a jam packed week of more Clinton e-mails, a leaked Donald Trump tape, a Vice Presidential Debate that was essentially "defend your candidate," and a Presidential Debate that had about as much substance as the first one. A laundry list of Republicans have pulled endorsements from Trump and some are even calling for his immediate resignation.Is this...what we deserve? All this and more! Hosted on Acast.

Last Monday, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump went toe-to-toe in a record breaking debate. The problem is...there was no substance. Debates have gone from two candidates detailing plans to two buffoons insulting each other. Why did America watch? Was it for answers, clarifications, or reassuring their vote? I say nay.Gary Johnson flubbed again on foreign matters. First it was recognizing the city of Aleppo; next, naming a foreign leader. Are these gaffes the end of the line? Let's discuss.All th...

It's DEBATE NIGHT! Hillary Clinton versus Donald Trump! I talk about debates, how they are hyped up into super-mega-ultra-greatest-of-all-time events, and what they will butt heads over tonight. Gary Johnson and Jill Stein were not invited, so I cover what they will be doing as well!I also talk about The Saudi 9/11 Bill, the Saudi Arms Bill, and play a clip from Rand Paul, who brilliantly asks "How can you unanimously pass a bill allowing people to sue Saudi Arabia and then pass a bill selling t...

IN THIS EPISODE: I open with a brand new intro, and talk a little bit about the quotes used in it. Give it a listen, the music is courtesy of hero board (See Below)It is time to talk more about the Commission on Presidential Debates, and the criteria set forth for the candidates. I talk about Gary Johnson's plans going forward, having missed the criteria for the first presidential debate. What is the purpose of debates anyway? Let's talk about it.We will also look over some of the top news inclu...

IN THIS EPISODE: September 11th, 15 years later. A brief reflection on where I was 15 years ago and why the day matters to me. You'll note, there is no commentary on what Football players may have been doing during anthems. It's not what 9/11 is about. Then I dive into the media coverage of Hillary Clinton's illness and how it's affecting the political commentary. The very same thing could be said for Gary Johnson and his "Aleppo" flub.You know what is funny about that Aleppo flub? Well, nothing...

IN this FritzCast Fritz-Forward: I ran into my brother, Punk, and we exchanged words on the Kaepernick situation. Remember, saying someone has the right and endorsing or agreeing with those same actions are two different things. How about the stories you missed while Colin was sitting down? Anything in particular catch your ear? I go over them as well.By the way...I have been selected (For what!? Listen...find out)Finally, I talk a little about my sister, who would have turned 30 on Sept. 5th, a...

In this Fritzcast Fritz-Forward episode: Does freedom offend you!? Because it did offend social media. That's right, I may not like Colin Kaepernick or the fact that he did not stand during the National Anthem, but I also did not care. SO why does everyone care so much about a Football Player doing something that for all intents and purposes, he is allowed to do?Then I talk a little bit about the EpiPen issue, and even refer back to that year-end story about a certain CEO and HIV hikes...remembe...

IN THIS EPISODE: A discussion (read: rant) on the DOJ and the decision to scale back on Private Prisons and why I think Prison just isn't a good field to privatize. Then a look at the Electoral College and how changing demographics are changing the battleground states. Donald Trump still points to rigging elections, but I counter that with some research I found on a School paper I wrote at the beginning of August. And is Gary Johnson stealing votes from Trump? Data is showing that Johnson may be...

IN THIS EDITION: I open talking about more work-outs, and how I am building up endurance, which is making me feel like a BOSS (or bawse, or whatever your preferred term.) I even talk a little bit about an Xbox One game called Quantum Break.Then I cover memes, specifically...the ones I saw passed around about the US Olympic Women's Gymnastics team and one person who did not have their hand over their heart during the national anthem. Then, straight into Gary Johnson's poll numbers. They appear to...

IN THIS EPISODE: Being sick sucks, right? I talk about a long week of being sick and recovery. Then I dive into an interesting post on FaceBook about Polling and Gary Johnson. At first I wasn't sure if there was any validity to the story, then found the link to the poll as was astonished to find that it was 100%. Is the way polling conducting hurting any outsiders?

Welcome back to FritzCast! I took a week of vacation down at the beach, and I talk a little bit about why vacations are important to break up your daily routines. Then, right on in to the RNC. Was Ted Cruz and his speech uncalled for, or was it more baffling that a crowd would boo him over what those words meant? Also statements from Mike Lee, and Melania Trump's "plagiarized" speech and the outcry over what speech writers stole from other speech writers.Then, of course, if you thought the RNC w...

Welcome to another week of the FritzCast. I open on a note of positive steps I have taken to better my health and how it is making me feel loads better. Then I cover a host of topics, from more targeted killing of cops and how we need to start calling for an end to violence and madness. This spills into talks of Terror in France yet again, and a brief overview of the amount of attacks on France over the past year. Then the focus switches to instability across the world with a recent failed coup ...

I recall some lyrics from a Scorpions song, "So here we are, it's hour 1 and it's a nightmare. There's nothing left and yet it's good to be alive. There's no use crying, 'cause the Universe is not fair, the wicked and the innocent are fighting to survive." So I open talking about the Dallas incident, about how nobody really likes a bad cop, and how this issue is a lot more complicated than any one person wants to admit. The key thing that is being overlooked is where to unify. Last I checked, we...

In this episode: I brush up lightly on some more about Orlando and where the debates have evolved, sadly it is still "this or that." I finally break my silence on Bernie Sanders. What do you call someone who switches from an Independent Platform to more legitimize their cause? I have some choice words...it probably won't make the Sanders die-hards happy. I also look at the words of Senator Joe Manchin, a story I heard on Jason Stapleton and why its a dangerous thing to say that a constitutional ...

In this Episode: A hectic week of events shifts focus to what I believe is the real enemy: Hate. Hate is the first enemy, and hate breeds hate. I also dive into politicization of tragedy.I then take a quick look at Brock Turner, the man who raped and got a just sentence of...wait, 6 months in prison with Probation? No way. And to those folks hoping "he get's his in prison," well, I'm here to tell you that won't happen. Rape is rape, there's no question about it.Finally, it appears as though the ...

Is it the final countdown for Bernie Sanders and the Bern movement? Gary Johnson and the Libertarian media presence steadily rises througho...
