- 1062 - Biden's Senile State of the Union | 03/08/24
Joe Biden gave one of the strangest and most senile State of the Union addresses last night. Also, we got a rising star in the form of Alabama Senator Katie Britt to deliver the GOP response. Oh, and Oregon recriminalized low-level drug use this week, but what if the data and reality don't support the legislation? What if the folks like Matt Walsh are dead-wrong about what the data says about this issue? Can it be true that legalizing drugs is bad and that criminalizing drug use is also bad?

Fri, 08 Mar 2024 - 44min - 1061 - Texas GOP Voters Stand Up to RINOS? | 03/06/24
On an otherwise sleepy "Super Tuesday" the voters in multiple RINO-led districts stood up for school choice and their voices to be heard. Is that a sign of hope in the GOP? Also, the Chicago Teachers Union wants a $50 billion union contract and MSNBC laughs at those who think immigration is a big deal in Virginia. All on a #WTFWednesday edition of Critical Thinking.

Justin Trudeua says the quiet part out loud? Wishing that Russia wins over Ukraine? Also, Marry Poppins is now racist and we get an inside-the-park home run for the ages in a Spring Training Game. Oh, and Federalist Papers No. 16 goes under the microscope on today's Critical Thinking.

Wed, 28 Feb 2024 - 37min - 1059 - We're Now Fans of the Polls Because They Like Trump? | 02/27/24
Polling in seven swing states favors Trump over Biden and now MAGA Forever tells us we have to believe in the polls. Bold strategy...Also, I wonder about DEI being bad for your health outcomes if you don't play ball and what about the COVID Crazies and their unwillingness to admit they were wrong about kids and schooling? It all comes your way on a #TruthOrFictionTuesday.

Tue, 27 Feb 2024 - 54min - 1058 - Google's AI is Racist, Whatcha Gonna Do About It? | 02/26/24
Google's new AI, "Gemini" was exposed for its anti-White racism late last week and it only continued to get worse as its leftist bias was put on full display all over X this weekend. Yet, will anyone do anything about it? Like, I don't know, stop using gmail or calendar or Google Docs? Probably not and Google knows it.
Also, the AP decides to hide the illegal status of an alleged murderer...oh and we put The Federalist Papers No. 14 under the microscope as well.

Tue, 27 Feb 2024 - 54min - 1057 - Our Rights Don't Come From God? | 02/23/24
A Politico reporter went on MSNBC to continue her crusade against "Christian Nationalism" because they want to establish a THEOCRACY, telling the audience that our rights don't come from God, but do come from government. That and Justin Trudeau wants a "common set of facts" to be determined for us all to work from. How about no? That and three amazing takes this week, including one from Joe Biden!

After an FBI informant is charged with lying to the FBI and trying to play both Russia and the United States against each other, the left says the case against Joe Biden and the Biden Crime Family should be closed. Oh really? I examine their claim. Also, Joe Biden gets the media to play along with his charade of a "student loan debt cancellation" game. Finally, The Federalist Papers No. 13 goes under the microscope.

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 - 47min - 1055 - St. Patrick's Cathedral Performs a Drag Funeral? | 02/21/24
In one of the most idiotic, yet telling, stories of just how far the tentacles of the Spirit of the Age have gone in to our society...there was a drag funeral performed at St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC — and the priest sat there and did nothing. The Church since has performed a mass of reparations to God for offending him. In a totally unrelated story, a member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence was arrested on charges of child sexual exploitation and porn. Ewww. In France, they want the ability to jail you for speaking up against the COVID-19 vaccine "and other reasonable" medical things. Good times on a #WTFWednesday.

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 - 47min - 1054 - America Wants to Import its Fighting Force? | 02/20/24
Have we learned nothing from history..ancient or otherwise? Apparently not, as some in congress want to give illegals the ability to earn citizenship by becoming our fighting force. Hello, late Roman Empire, anyone? Also, is Abraham Lincoln the worst president in American history? Oh and Federalist No. 11 is under the microscope too.

Tue, 20 Feb 2024 - 50min - 1053 - Fani Willis' Grey-Goose is Cooked! | 02/16/24
Fani Willis and Nathan Wade had to testify in a hearing to dismiss them from the case against Donald Trump in Georgia and boy, oh-boy, did it not go as well as they thought it would in their heads or when they were on the stand. Willis admitted to felonies, looked like an unhinged and deranged witness at times and even wore her dress on backwards somehow. Also, I talk about the rest of the best and worst takes of the week and I examine Federalist Paper No. 10 in our continuing study of this important work in American civic life.

Fri, 16 Feb 2024 - 56min - 1052 - Correcting what "He Gets Us" Gets Wrong | 02/15/24
The worst ad during the Super Bowl this past weekend was easily the blasphemous "He Gets Us" ads. Well, there was a challenge made to do it better, if you think you can, and boy did someone ever up the ante. I discuss the ad centered on the message or repentance just in the knick of time for the Lenten season. Also, a man of action takes down a thug who decided to settle some gang beef with a gun during the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl party. Also, I look at Federalist No. 9 and its message that history already tells us how loose confederacies end — and it ain't good.

Also, I've got "screw the constitution" takes, Biden's totally with it takes and "how to squat in Portland" videos for you on this #WTFWednesday edition of Critical Thinking.

After pulling an all-nighter, because this is the "most important vote of all-time in the Senate," Team GOP gave the dems a win on funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, while nothing to actual AMERICAN border security. Because of course. Also, what about being willing to pay a price to stay free? Federalist Papers No. 8 gets studied as well on this #TruthOrFiction Tuesday!

What does it all tell us and did the special counsel get it right in not recommending any charges? Also, I react to Biden's reaction to the report and the media. Finally, Federalist Paper No. 6 goes under the microscope on this edition of Critical Thinking!

Speaker Mike Johnson has vowed to bring up, and pass, Articles of Impeachment against DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, but will that solve anything? If so, do it. If not, what are you even doing? I also look at the results of D.C.'s pilot "economic mobility" program, and shocking — it was an epic failure. What's not an epic fail? How about a team of youngsters unraveling the mystery of 2,000-year-old Pompeiian scrolls? The Federalist Papers study continues with Federalist Paper No. 5 as well.

Donald Trump's appeal on grounds of Presidential Immunity was denied by the D.C. appellate court on Tuesday morning. Least shocking news ever, but did the court get it right and where does Trump go from there? Also, the House tells the Senate GOP that their "deal" struck on immigration and foreign military aid is DOA — showing just how dumb and serious they are taking the crisis on the Southern Border. Oh, and we continue to read the Federalist Papers, with No. 3 on the docket today.

Tue, 06 Feb 2024 - 53min - 1044 - Nikki Haley Falls for the Celeb Trap | 02/05/24
Nikki Haley made an appearance in the opening segment of Saturday Night Live. She not only was overshadowed by a medicore Trump impression, but looked and sounded like a robot — why must Team GOP always fall for the trap of trying to be a hip celebrity? WHY? Also, we continue our exploration of The Federalist Papers, with Federalist Paper No. 2, and I continue to wonder why so many on the right, who want to take Texas' side in the battle against the Feds at the Southern Border continue to quote them.

Elon Musk was set to hit on a 12% of company-value stock option package at Tesla. Then came a Biden-tied judge in Delaware to literally snatch away potentially $55 billion in wealth from Musk. Totes not politically motivated or anything! Also, Disney loses bigly in case against Ron DeSantis and Florida.

The House Committee on Homeland Security has recommended two impeachment charges against DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. I'm curious if this will bring any accountability for the illegal asylum crisis at our Southern Border or not? Also, it's a #WTFWednesday where "The Squad" has a very bad week and the White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean Pierre, can't even put together a sentence in memorial to three fallen soldiers in the Middle East.

Ever wonder how the allegedly poor and destitute refugee manages to make it over an ocean (or two) and then crosses two more continents to get here? Well, today I bring you on some of that journey, expose the organizations who are making it all happen and selling these people on the lie of how asylum works here in America. But, you're the ones dealing with it all — as all but one congressional district has been sent illegal asylum seekers from the wonder NGO's at the border. What's happening should disgust all of us, because these people are being used as political pawns and discarded by allegedly religious organizations...oh and the government has helped the wonderful Mexican cartels traffic these folks to our border too. It's all gross, oh so gross.

TikTok is bad, because China is bad and it manipulates its own people and now the hearts and minds of millions of American tweens and teens and even grannys. But, a recent study that many on Capital Hill and elsewhere are using to gin up further calls for bans on the app just don't hold up under scrutiny. I go in-depth on more garbage data in, garbage data out. Also, this past weekend marked another year of the left going insane over J6, including President Joe Biden and Michigan won, but are we celebrating cheating by their victory in the College Football Playoff championship game?

What does it mean and how can we bring light to what seems to be a very dark time? Also, we talk about Nikki Haley buying up ad's in major TV markets — why? I've got a theory and it's something out of the Dems playbook from 2020. Also, we talk Claudine Gay "resigning" as President of Harvard and the leftist media freak-out.

Colorado's Supreme Court gave the O.K. to kicking Donald Trump off the state ballot in 2024, in a not-so-shocking bit of news to those of us paying attention. But, I'm still left with questions about whether MAGA Forever gets it and if they do, what's the plan for dealing with their favored candidate being lawfaired and constituioned out of the 2024 election.
Also, Rashard Mendenhall goes full racist or head trauma in calling out white reporters and wanting all-black vs. all-white Pro Bowl.

Also, Donald Trump will be your liberator and the mRNA jabs only contain 10 percent more proteins than the COVID spike protein. Nothing to see there, even according to the authors of the study. Oh and Deadspin gaslights us in "apologizing" for calling a little boy racist.

Mon, 11 Dec 2023 - 41min - 1017 - No Bathrooms for Jews in America? | 12/08/23
A 'family-owned' coffee shop in Oakland was caught on film denying entry to a Jewish woman who wanted to use a bathroom in their shop, or so the right-wing narrative goes. The truth is far more disgusting on behalf of the anti-Semitic leftists that occupied jobs at the coffee shop. They actually were hiding the very anti-semitic language scribbled on the bathroom once they noted the patron was about to document it. So munch for, 'Never Again' as we watch these vile humans dehumanize and taunt her to her face. Also, Ibram X Khendi says white people aren't human and Hunter Biden gets indicted and totes nothing to do with daddy, y'all. Oh, and we watch as two women stand up to bullying of congressmen and women while standing up for girls and women in women's sports. Plus, I'm here for Elon Musk vs. Bob Iger! Bring it on!

The GOP held its final debate before the 2024 Primary season begins with the Iowa Caucuses in January and Ron DeSantis was a clear winner. He even told us he'd take inspiration from Calvin Coolidge. An interesting choice and if he does, does that mean he gets what needs to be done on the federal government level? Also, Joe Biden can't hide behind email aliases anymore and the House Oversight committee shows us even more corrupt payments between Hunter, Joe and the rest of the Biden Crime Family. Oh, and the elite universities can't condemn or do anything about anti-semitic, genocidal, speech on campus? Oh, and President Biden wants to put American troops on the ground in Ukraine?
All of this in the past 36 hours, by the way. Is it any wonder why Americans are having trouble making sense of the world?

What kind of fresh hell did Kamala Harris unleash this weekend and who keeps letting her speak in public? Also, Tucker Carlson and others want you to believe if you don't support Donald Trump in the GOP primary or general election, you totes heart the Feds. Meanwhile, the College Football Playoff seeds were set yesterday and the undefeated, ACC Champion, Florida State Seminoles were left out of the Playoff. I've got some thoughts on that and much more!

We discuss that, plus Janet Yellen wants you to know aid to Ukraine for school teachers and first responders is so important we must go in to further debt here in America for it.

Chief amongst the hated was Nikki Haley's lame abortion answer, basically telling GOP voters you better take a "you do you, boo" stance on abortion or you're a bad person. Also, Vivek did some good and some bad and Ron DeSantis did his best to showcase leadership and results. Oh and NBC did a good job too?

Yet, so many believed it would be. Why? What in the past or the present would suggest such a thing would happen? Maybe it's time to realize that the left is a movement and the GOP is just an empty shell that cares about draining your pocketbook and lining theirs too. Maybe it's time to realize that personality doesn't trump plans? Just saying.

Nearly a month after 1,400 civilians were murdered by Hamas inside Israel, the left has taken a new tact in its oppressed vs oppressor narrative — demanding that Israel only fight a perfect war, with no civilian casualties. That's right, Hamas can murder any number of innocent civilians, but in rooting out Hamas, Israel must conduct perfect warfare where no civilians, whom Hamas traps inside Gaza and uses as human shields, are to be killed at all.
Also, on this #WTFWednesday, we have two of the dumbest takes on the AR-15 of all-time, from both sides of the political aisle and Biden has jokes as the wagons continue to circle around him and the rest of the Biden Crime Family.

Tue, 31 Oct 2023 - 1h 01min - 998 - Do We Really Mean 'Never Again?' | 10/30/23
While Americans largely believe we should be paying attention to Hamas vs. Israel, the rest of the world is telling us that our pledge of 'Never Again' after WW2 may be a lie. Why? Well, watch what's happening to Jewish people all over the world as the conflict in Israel continues. Do we actually mean, 'Never Again' anymore? The time for nuance is gone, this is as black-and-white as it comes — either you believe the Jews have a right to live or you don't and for many parts of the world, apparently the sickening answer is that they'd prefer them to die and that's disgusting.
Pictures and video from all over the globe suggest a genocide is on our hands, so what are those of us who are pro-life willing to do to stand up for our brothers and sisters in belief in God? Either you're on the side of life or you're on the side of evil. Pick a side, or it will be picked for you.
Also, Donald Trump got on stage and called his own base a bunch of losers — because the MAGA Forever cult are the only ones who ever believed in "We're going to build a wall, and Mexico will pay for it." He straight up tells his audience they're a bunch of cucks and they take it like the cucks they are.

A recent poll about the Hamas attack on Israel told us that overall, Americans do not support what Hamas did, there was no justification for it. Yet, a majority of the 18-24 crowd and a near majority of the 18-34 groups actually say Hamas was justified. Proof is in the unrepentant support of Hamas by the NYU Law School Student Bar Association President and the protests around college campuses everywhere. How is this generational divide happening? Also, are those same people calling on the government of Azerbaijan to stop its ethnic cleansing of Armenians living in their ancestral land? The silence is deafening.

Many claim to be free speech absolutists, yet Pro-Hamas protests and anti-semitic rhetoric from around the globe is challenging many people's tolerance of abhorrent speech. We discuss a video from London in which radical Islamic speech crossed all sorts of lines, yet no consequences were felt in a place in which any anti-Islamic talk would be met with harsh justice. So, how does one deal with wanting free speech, yet wanting laws that exist where they do to be applied equally? Or should we still be advocating for abolition of all speech laws, especially hate-speech laws?
Also, what is the tie-that-binds all of these things together? How is it that Queer activists are marching in support of a group who would just assume murder them for their lifestyle? It's a one-word answer — Marxism.

This level of coordination? The amount of terrorists it took to pull this off? Iran's deep involvement? How did Israeli and American intelligence miss this attack? It's a question many have been asking and the answer lies in what has been taking place since 2014 — a massive 'spy ring' within the American political and intelligence world. One that led to us having to move all our assets out of Iran and burning our ability to gather intelligence that likely would've tipped us off to this Hamas attack. Also, is Marxism not just a political ideology, but a worldview? If so, is it a demonic worldview?

Hamas launched an unprovoked and surprise attack on Israeli land and people from all over the world over the weekend. The stories of innocent lives taken in brutal fashion are terrible to hear and see, yet somehow a battle over the moral high ground has also broken out. The US and Israeli's created Hamas and are reaping what they sowed, some say. Others believe this to be a totally immoral act. Where does the truth lie? It's way more complicated than black and white in some ways, in others, it's very simple.
Also, it's Columbus Day or as the left tells us, Indigenous Peoples Day. Why are we destroying Columbus and heaping love on all Native tribes? It's such a strange thing to do given the realities of Columbus' life and the history of the tribes of the Caribbean and North America. We examine this phenomenon too.

Andrew is flying solo and he'll be breaking that down along with the numbers and stats that redpillers and tradcons are using in the fight over "is marriage bad for men?" You might be surprised by what the stats actually say in this debate.

Wed, 27 Sep 2023 - 58min - 978 - Trump Continues to Show True Abortion Colors | 09/26/23
Donald Trump continues to run to the left of everyone else in the GOP field on abortion. Is it a losing strategy as well as morally bankrupt? Also, has Donald Trump changed since 2016 and are the Atlanta Braves going to win the World Series this year? What about Americans having too much freedom?

Tue, 26 Sep 2023 - 1h 00min - 977 - Court of Public Opinion vs. Tim Ballard | 09/25/23
Tim Ballard, founder and former CEO of Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), has had multiple allegations made against him of both a sexual and financial nature. Many have taken to condemnation and others to backing him up. But, in the court of public opinion it seems he's already guilty. It's par for the course in today's culture, but does it make it right or just? Nope. Do we know the truth? Nope. Yet everyone wants to jump to conclusions. Let's let the truth play out instead of rushing to any conclusion. Also, what's happening with the UAW and their strike against the big three automakers? A 32-hour work week for 40 hours of pay? A return to guaranteed pensions? What's it mean and what's the reality?

Also, Ron DeSantis takes down the mainstream media narrative of "trust the CDC" and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) takes on Merrick Garland's continued stonewalling of congressional oversight. Oh, and a brand new #RichardOfTheWeek is crowned as well.

Fri, 22 Sep 2023 - 1h 01min - 975 - Violence at NFL Games Reflects on Our Society | 09/20/23
On Sunday night, New England Patriots fan Dale Moony died from blows suffered in a fight with a Miami Dolphins fan. It's a tragedy that was wholly avoidable, but it isn't just about opposing fans passions for their teams either. We must deal with the reality that this explosion in violence at sporting events says way more about our society in general. Will the NFL take the steps necessary to curb the violence? Can they learn any lessons from the hooligan era of football in Europe? Also, the UN's annual parade of stupid begins and we expose the love affair between Gavin Newsom and Vice-President Kamala Harris.

Also, is the NFL the worst you've ever seen it and what about Iowa's chances to tell us the direction of the 2024 GOP primary? All that and more on a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday edition of Critical Thinking.

Tue, 19 Sep 2023 - 1h 04min - 973 - Trump's So Pro-Life, He Wants Compromise | 09/18/23
The "most pro-life President" went on NBC's Meet the Press, and amongst other topics, decided that compromise must be on the table for his super pro-life positions. We discuss the calculation Trump apparently is making versus the reality that exists in this country on the topic of abortion. Also, the Senate gets rid of its dress code, for Senators, and keeps it for the pleebs around them. How very common-man of you!

Donald Trump was pressed about his COVID-19 decisions and the decisions of the government under him during an interview with Megyn Kelly and his responses are very telling. Whom does he think is his audience? What does he have to gain and why is he still sticking by his Fauci decisions? Also, we look outside the world of politics to the world of sports and preview the football weekend ahead in both college and the NFL.

Thu, 14 Sep 2023 - 1h 11min - 970 - What's All the Romans 1 Talk About? | 09/13/23
If you are paying attention to conservative talk on podcasts, TV or even X, then you've likely heard a ton about "living in Romans 1 times." It got Andrew and Pat to thinking — what is Romans 1 really about and do those who use it really understand it? Is it all about the damnation of today's society or something else? We explore that on our World View segment. Also, funding the system is the point for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and John Fetterman speaks a coherent truth for once? What is the world coming to? Has to be a #WTFWednesday.

Wed, 13 Sep 2023 - 1h 04min - 969 - Have We Forgotten 9/12? | 09/12/23
On this #TruthOrFiction Tuesday, we wonder if it's not 9/11, but 9/12 that we have forgotten in this country. Also, is New Mexico's governor the most in-tune politician in America...because she knows the lay of the land better than anyone? Finally, Joe Biden deserves the 25th amendment, but will that actually happen?

Tue, 12 Sep 2023 - 59min - 968 - Liberty Safe Does the Right Thing? | 09/08/23
It's Friday and that means our best and worst takes of the week, including acknowledgement of wrongdoing by Liberty Safe and a reversal of course. Will it matter to its audience or not? Also, Ron DeSantis on firing Fauci and a dad whom let his 10-year-old drive him around as he got drunk off his rear-end. Father of the Year stuff there. Oh and we're supposed to believe that masks work and Joe Biden is as fit as a fiddle too.

Thu, 07 Sep 2023 - 1h 01min - 966 - Do we need to let Republicans lose in 2024?
The Republican party backs Mitch McConnell after multiple scary health episodes, while talking about fitness to lead with President Joe Biden. Kevin McCarthy continues to break promise after promise with no repercussions, all the while the Dems are attempting to destroy the American ideal. So, do you pick the side that won't fight for you or the side that hates you? I say, let them all take a loss and focus on rebuilding from ourselves first.
It's also a #WTFWednesday on a Thursday too.

Mon, 04 Sep 2023 - 25min - 963 - The Right is Letting Trump Gaslight Them on COVID | 09/01/23
