Tom Brady butt sand proves Karl Marx wrong, again. Outrage over Leonardo DiCaprio's new girlfriend's age gives some on the left an uncomfortable look in the mirror. After being embarrassed by a balloon last week, this week the Biden administration wastes no time shooting down another flying object over US soil. The "conspiracy theorists" are proved right, again, as news breaks that the government is indeed tracking the unvaccinated because... reasons.
This week we discuss how the Branch Covidians want you to forget how miserable they made your life over the last 2+ years, the rise of two heroes (Djokovic winning the Australian Open and Mr. Beast curing 1,000 blind people), and the fall of another (Jordan Peterson uses leftist debate tactics to simp for the regime change foreign policy establishment).
They think you are stupid. Stupid enough to believe that diet, exercise, and proper sleep/stress management will have no impact if you "inherited" obesity. Stupid enough to believe that the FBI are the "good guys" even though their agents commit the very same (or worse) crimes as the trumped up charges they bring against others for doing. Stupid enough to believe that giving Congress a blank check by eliminating the debt ceiling entirely, won't wind up in anything short of economic catastrophe. You may not be stupid enough to believe all, or any, of that, but far too many of our fellow citizens are. Share this episode and help wake them up.
When the world is black and white, there is no room for careful consideration and/or nuance, you are either on the team or off it. This worldview (Manicheanism) was on display in several high profile stories this week. The cancel mob came for (clearly "evil") Ivan Provorov for refusing to fly the rainbow colors. Chief Covid Cult propagandist, Leana Wen, admits something David and Dane discussed in real time throughout covid: that the covid deaths could be inflated because there were massive incentives to do so, and this ("evil" admission) drives CNN anchors nuts. Sam Harris continued to lose his shit, for the second time musing about the deaths of children so he can be validated in his Trump Derangement Syndrome and ("evil" vaxx refusers).
One of the premier medical institutions (Harvard) in the world doubles down on its "fetuses and/or infants can be transgender and they know it" agenda; now teaching pediatric medical students how to "treat" transgender infants. Moderna is developing a new shot to "fix" problems potentially caused by its other shots. And, the opinion molders want you to know Biden's mishandling of classified documents is nothing like Orange Man Bad's. Tired of all the scare quotes? Us too. Maybe the regime apparatchiks should try being honest rather than forcing their agenda down our throats with 1984-style double-speak. We won't hold our collective breath though.
The new year is quickly reminding us that the more things change the more they stay the same. The Manichean temptation is alive and well in 2023. Whether one pretends that their justification for forced medical procedures was done out of love, and everyone else was motivated by evil, they embrace a platform infested with child pornography to escape "rich man bad," or they become the very thing they swore to oppose because they aren't getting their way, seeing the world as black and white leads to predictably poor behavior and conclusions. Perhaps nowhere was this more apparent this week than in the way RINO/Neocons like Patches McCain (Dan Crenshaw) treated and spoke about their Republican colleagues for holding out on the House Speaker vote for Kevin McCarthy. Patches is a repeat Manichean offender, getting worse by the day.
Happy New Year! 2023 kicks off right where 2022 left off: rampant government incompetence and malfeasance, with a dash of grandstanding from some of its worst actors like Congressman Kinzinger. The ATF doesn't think you're responsible with guns and wants to take them away, and they're going to show you how right they are by being monumentally irresponsible/stupid with guns, then destroying the evidence of their crimes. Newly declassified CIA documents suggest stronger connections between it and JFK assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, than it has ever admitted to, but you're the bad guy for asking follow-up questions. And, as Covid vaccination injuries mount, it's only a matter of time before the Branch Covidians swear they knew the pharmaceutical industrial complex was up to no good the whole time. Let's laugh (to keep from crying) our way through 2023.
Happy Holidays! We close out 2022 with a year in review and list of things that happened over the past year that left us feeling the most thankful. Most importantly, we are thankful for YOU, our dear listeners/supporters. Thank you for a great 2022, and here's to an even better 2023 for all of us! Stay well and stay free!
Career nincompoop, Robert Reich, keeps regurgitating the tired, demonstrably false trope that corporate greed, rather than government spending and Fed money printing, is the cause of inflation. Elon bans leftist journalist Twitter accounts. And, the long-time US war propaganda rag, Washington Post, chastises Russia for sending soldiers to war and ignoring the mental damage they come back with. The lesson we can take from all of this is that those who always claim to know better are never short of real or imagined monsters to slay because a close examination of their own malfeasance is something they cannot allow. But hey, there is good news this week! Humanity achieved fusion ignition, a potential breakthrough answer to long-term clean, safe energy production. A glimmer of light in the darkness!
Is it any wonder that a society which allows blatant double standards to persist about which groups of people you can denigrate and dehumanize with impunity, also allows its political machine to arbitrarily decide to prosecute its political foes for essentially nothing while letting its friends get away with the largest crimes in human history? Although this is no longer surprising to any of us, the broken nature of this society isn't even the worst/most dangerous part. The most dangerous part is that the society is so blinded by every distraction from race baiting to blatant hypocrisy on all sides, too many don't see the fast encroaching tyranny meant to fully and finally enslave us all. Share this episode with friends and family to wake as many people up to the regime's central banking digital currency designs before it's too late.
Everybody wants something for nothing. Blackrock wants to irresponsibly invest your money on the basis of irrelevant metrics like whether the companies they invest in are sufficiently on board with the climate change or social cause agendas, without facing backlash when investors object. Big tech wants to profit off your data by selling it to third parties and government wants to spy on you with that data in blatant violation of the U.S. Constitution. And, the U.S. Women's National Team wants half of what they didn't earn of the U.S. Men's National Team successes at the World Cup because #equality. A society that continues to reward this behavior is not long for this world.
The overarching lesson of political economy is that if power is for sale, the unscrupulous power whores will spare no expense (or personal embarrassment... if they were capable of feeling shame) to buy it. This is the fundamental truth about the form and function of government, as well as the nature of the human beings who seek control over it, which once understood, helps to remove the scales from the eyes of the common man who labors under the yoke that government places upon them, about the promises of self-serving government parasites. The examples in this week's lesson consist of hypocrisy about campaign ad spend in Arizona, the history of politicians promising one thing and delivering another, and the FTX meltdown that was orchestrated to expand government power over decentralized currency. Share this episode and help friends/family stop falling for the charade.
A Connecticut town, primarily its local Starbucks workers, learns the "might makes right" lesson that has always motivated democracy. As cynical race-baiters have known since Colonial America, if you can keep the ruled divided among arbitrary lines like race it becomes a lot easier to gain and maintain power. And, the White House is going after Elon, again, this time on "national security" grounds over his purchase of Twitter because when you never have to explain yourself and your fascistic grabs for power/control, why would you? Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Add a few more things to the list, along with death and taxes, that you can count on in life. Every 2-4 years: (1) the election is "the most important of our lifetimes" (it never is); (2) libertarians and their "Schrodinger votes" are to blame for whoever loses; (3) nonsense prevails over common sense; and (4) things will get progressively worse. In this episode we break down the insanity that was the 2022 mid-term elections, give a glimmer of what might have been had better decisions been made in 2008, and warn of what will continue to worsen so long as the voters' "rational ignorance" is not addressed, and the victims of the state's indoctrination system vote in increasingly larger numbers in upcoming elections. Buckle up folks, the ride down is going to get bumpy.
The Twitter "blue checks" are losing their minds over having to pay $8/mo to keep their unearned, worthless credential; the "Right" is to blame for every deranged lunatic; and the Covid Cultists want forgiveness for being scumbags to millions of people for the last 2+ years. The complete lack of self-awareness from these people is truly a wonder of the modern world.
In this episode we take a break from the doom and gloom the world mostly is these days and celebrate a happy occasion. Elon Musk has finally completed the purchase of Twitter, fired its top executives, and sent the "blue checks" and purple hairs into full-on melt-down over the loss of just one gatekeeping platform over which they now used to have control. It really is beautiful. We also review some of our favorite Halloween memes from this year using the "Spirit Halloween" costume meme template. If you're typically an audio only listener, you'll want to go to YouTube, Rumble, Odysee, or Flote and watch the video version of this episode.

The rulers have never cared for the ruled, but now they are also ok with rubbing it in your face. They will force radical degeneracy opinions, like acceptance of pedophilia, on you; be as blatantly hypocritical as possible by openly asking a foreign power to interfere in U.S. elections after spending the last 6+ years complaining about the other side doing just that; and/or dance while you exercise your right to redress your grievances with them. In light of all this, if you're still clinging to the naive delusion that they are just flawed, but dutiful public servants, we don't know what to tell you anymore. You're not paying attention.
As far as the regime is concerned, consistency is NOT key. Harvard Children's Hospital has claimed that even fetuses know they are transgender, despite the fact that many "experts" at that establishment also likely believe that those same fetuses are nothing more than a disposable clump of cells. Although Florida continues to fight the good fight for medical freedom, big pharma and their "fact checking" mouthpieces can't keep their story straight about whether their vaccines stopped Covid or not. Finally, in the biggest inconsistency of all, the Alex Jones kangaroo court, show trial that resulted in an absurd nearly $1 billion award to Sandy Hook families is all the proof you need that hallmarks of western societies for over 800 years, like due process, are dead and gone if you run afoul of the regime. But, who needs consistency or principles when you are full-blown 1984 making it up as you go along and can jail or cancel anyone who calls you out on it?
Incentives, they matter. We sound like a broken record at this point, but that's only because just about everyone refuses to learned this lesson. In Italy, the left is learning that if you sell out your countrymen to overbearing, global elites that could care less about your countrymen's lowering standards of living, someone might come along (Giorgia Meloni) who they are highly incentivized to vote for. Incentives do most of the critical thinking leg-work in figuring out who had the most to gain in sabotaging the Nordstream Pipeline (hint: it isn't Russia). And, finally, incentives, particularly a lack of accountability, explain why Fauci got rich(er) during covid, why unaccountable bureaucracies like NIH don't care what you (the taxpayer) think about how it allocates its $45B budget; and why refusing to punish these bad actors always bears more of the same outcomes. We untangle it all for you on episode 115.
In this episode we discuss the fact that the Twitter blue checks want you to know that Trump is basically Hitler 2.0, but also that you're probably a fascist if you think the 2nd Amendment protects your right to a gun to protect against him. For them, there is no contradiction in these ideas, so apparently, you're supposed to just get on the train car without a fight. We muse at the fact that even Chase bank, yes one of the major elitist players in the US financial system, recognizes that the IRS is a fraudulent organization. And, why Chairman Powell and the Federal Reserve system always get their economic "cures" wrong, because their diagnoses, informed by the lunacy that is Keynesian economic theory, always misdiagnose the problem. Brace yourselves folks, they're about to throw 1.3 million of you out of a job.
The clown show continues... World football/soccer star, Cristiano Ronaldo, is being canceled for taking a picture with Jordan Peterson, while the Epstein buddies remain un-cancelable. Biden says he's in complete control, and declares the Covid pandemic over, while his cognition and "Covid team" suggest otherwise. Let us inject a little sanity into the situation for you.
Hypocrisy is the order of the day. DeSantis flying immigrants to Martha's Vineyard exposes bleeding heart liberals and their "sanctuary cities" to be not so compassionate, and not so sanctuary-ey when they are faced with the direct consequences of the policies they champion. IRS agents, who spend a career running the state's extortion machine, skip out on paying the piper themselves. And, Dan Crenshaw cowers behind other veterans rather than answer directly for his America Last voting record, which sends young men and women to die for nothing and milks American taxpayers for the benefit of other countries. The one thing we can count on political actors to be consistent in is their hypocrisy.
The powerful, elites, and their hordes of "useful idiots" are trying to provoke you into a response that turns the masses against your demands for freedom from the growing government threat, or simply provides them a pretext to bring down their iron fist as soon as practicable. Don't fall for it. The mistake of taking the bait has been repeated too often throughout history, each time with poor outcomes for those who allow their passions to overcome their judgment. Let Biden keep bombastically claiming your AR-15 is no match for the government's F-15s. Let celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence and Kathy Griffin keep stirring the pot for their political overlords. And, let government's themselves keep overplaying their hand, all around the world. Each time, they lose more and more popular support, and we (those who demand liberty) gain ground in the hearts and minds of our fellow men and women, who yearn for freedom.
Meghan McCain wants you to weep for a "better world," without mean tweets but plenty of war, Justin Trudeau (Canadian Castro) thinks climate change and viruses are making people mad at politicians instead of the actions of the politicians themselves, and Joe Biden wants you to know that if you don't worship him you're a domestic terrorist and probably a NotSee. What all this adds up to is that if you don't fall in line with their agenda, you make yourself a target of their wrath. They are trying to provoke you into rash decisions that justifies what they already have in mind. Govern yourself accordingly.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is real. In its name, big tech will censor critical political information at the "request" of a rogue federal agency, and pseudo-intellectuals like Sam Harris will come out of the woodwork in defense of burning "democracy" to the ground to save democracy. And, when the smoke has settled on it all, and their "blue no matter who" darling is in the White House, writing executive orders to make the American people pay to fix problems he spent decades causing, they will pretend like sanity has been restored. But, we guess, to the TDS insane, insanity is a matter of perspective.
The government hates WMD Podcast for this one easy trick: Dane and David predict government malfeasance months or years ahead of time simply by doing and/or thinking exactly the opposite of what government tells them to think or do. When a small handful of powerful elites at the UN conspire to rule the world but tell you they're not, disbelieve their lie. When the CDC says their policies are for health and safety, know that it's about control and propaganda. And, when legislators and the president say their bills are intended to help the poor/middle-class at the expense of the rich, know that the "eat the rich" rhetoric is a Trojan Horse to bleed you dry. You're now inoculated against the deadliest virus in the history of mankind: statism.
Wondering whether you are ruled by criminal, tyrants? Here's a quick/easy litmus test: Pay close attention to who the regime wants you to be outraged at versus who they want you to forget. If they want you to be outraged about an internet shock jock (Alex Jones) lying about Sandy Hook, but don't want you to be outraged about the DC cretins that lied us into a 20+ year war over fake WMD reports, you might be ruled by criminals. If you're supposed to be on alert for Betsy Ross Flag waving "terrorists" but not the FBI, with its long history of terrorizing U.S. citizens, you might be ruled by tyrants. And, if they tell you "no man is above the law," as they raid the home of a political opponent while letting all their buddies off the hook for crimes at least as bad, you might be ruled by criminal, tyrants. Join us on their watchlists, won't you?!
From the state, to the national, to the global level, we can always count on US policymakers to get everything wrong. Whether it's their disingenuous rhetoric about contentious issues like abortion to fan the flames that keep us divided, the constant drive to steal evermore from us while continuing to spend outside those growing means, or further strain international relations for no reason other than political posturing, their only consistency is always picking the worst course of action available. It's high time we quit letting them manage our affairs, at every level.
The same government that never misses an opportunity to use a disaster to expand its power, is the same one that thinks you're selfish for refusing to accept a lower standard of living imposed by them and their braindead policies. It's almost as if they are incentivized to create the disasters, or make them worse, so they have an excuse to come to the rescue. Worse yet, they are willing to use those of us who give up the most as pawns to achieve their ends. The Tree of Liberty needs watering.
AOC refuses to miss another "look at me" opportunity, MSM around the world is now switching the fear porn propaganda to scary graphics on weather forecasts, and a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun. In a world where all the megaphones are shouting the regime's talking points, be an Elisjsha Dicken, not an AOC.
Will ectogenesis save or doom humanity? How many people will the Clintons kill before the great equalizer comes for them? Which is more preferable: to live on your knees under IMF control, or to see your country implode in the hope that you can rebuild a freer, more prosperous future? No matter how you come out on these and many other major issues of our increasingly chaotic times, you have to admit, life is pretty damn entertaining right now, in a macabre kind of way.
Stupid or evil? That's the age-old question regarding government and the lemming-like apologists for the regime. If it isn't Michael Moore threatening retribution if he doesn't get his laundry list of NPC demands, or state propaganda rags like the Washington Post ignoring the facts about a healthy lifestyle in favor of one that leaves you sicker and more dependent on the government, then it's these same mainstream outlets ignoring major world events of people in other countries rising up against tyranny so you don't get any ideas. So, do these people always come to the wrong conclusions because they are just that dumb, or are they legitimately evil, pushing for every outcome that would lead to state power expansion? We may never know, but seeing through their bs is why you come to WMD Podcast.
Despite the repeated failures of government, all it seems to know how to do is double down on the policies that have pushed us to the fiscal, economic, and social cliff that we now find ourselves at. But, whether it is California issuing new "inflation relief" stimulus checks to combat the money printing that caused the inflation in the first place, being incompetent or evil with the release of private information of legal conceal and carry holders (again, California), or Ghislaine Maxwell only getting 20 years while withholding her book of clients, apparently only "sex trafficking" to herself and Epstein, one thing is clear: the powers that be are laughing at us. As long as we continue to do nothing about what these people do to us, they will keep going until full societal collapse. Now is the time to remember that July 4th is about celebrating treason toward these kinds of people. Let's get back to our roots.
In light of the fact that David and Dane have zero interest in watching the kangaroo court style circus that is the "January 6th Committee Hearings," WMD Podcast thought that bringing the star of episode 60, their grandmother, back was a perfect way to address the topic. Since everyone else has an agenda, but grandma Carol has always been a grounded, reasonable, and sober observer of complex events (her own experiences in the POW issue especially), and since she has actually watched at least some of the hearings, the WMD crew thought that her wisdom and guidance should be shared with the world on this issue. Don't miss this one.
The more things change the more they stay the same. The times are-a-changin' for the Democrats' stranglehold on minority votes, as the recent election of Mayra Flores in Texas shows. But, despite the shift in political winds, counting on the government to find new ways to violate your inalienable rights is as sure as the sun rising in the East. Government does it, to thunderous applause, when the stupid party and the evil party agree on how to screw you over: this is called "bipartisanship." As 10 Senate, turn-coat Republicans demonstrated this last week by agreeing in principle with gun grabbing Demon-rats on legislation including unconstitutional "Red Flag" provisions, these people are not to be trusted.
Again and again, we are reminded that the very nature of government is, at its core, fundamentally at odds with accountability. Yet, the regime apologists are always quick to either demand that we excuse government's poor performance (avoid accountability entirely) or assure us that accountability is possible with better leadership. Newsflash: it's not! Whether it's the economy, law enforcement, or simply watching itself, the government has never demonstrated itself to be anything other than an unaccountable shitshow of endless horrors. We discuss the latest examples.
Every time the gun grabbers have said in the past "we're not coming for your guns," or "it's only 'assault rifles' we aren't banning all guns," we called bullshit. This past week they proved us prophetic, not that they aren't completely predictable, however. Everyone from Twitter screechers, to daytime show hosts, to politicians in and out of the United States have rushed to not let the most recent tragedy in Uvalde, Texas go to waste, as they seek to use it for their tyrannical political purposes. On this episode, you'll hear some of the most vitriolic gun grabbers in their own words. Note to them from the WMD Podcast: we are done talking on this issue because we don't negotiate with terrorists. Molon labe!
On May 24, 2022 a mass shooting took place in Uvalde, Texas. Since then, the predictable discussion across the political spectrum has been raging as feckless political hacks have sought to use the tragedy to score political points on their opponents. Their recycled and regurgitated talking points are clearly getting us nowhere. Instead, we think a societal look in the mirror is in order. In a myriad of ways, we have allowed our society to become so broken that it is producing broken people at an alarming rate, and our most innocent are bearing the brunt of their destruction. We discuss where we think this society has gone wrong in the hopes of finding ways to fix it. Please join us in this conversation.
We did it! Thanks to our hard-hitting coverage on Episode 92 of Biden's Ministry of Truth, DHS has decided to suspend the "Governance Disinformation Board" and its would-be leader, Nina Jankowicz, has tendered her resignation. We kick off this episode with a light-hearted celebration of this pruning of the federal leviathan. However, our main topic, the baby formula shortage, provided fertile soil to get back to our roots of destroying idiotic memes. In this case, a tweet which has made the rounds on social media blaming the shortage on the "free market," despite the fact that such an ignorant claim is in complete contravention of the fact that the baby formula market in the U.S. is another failed socialistic scheme. We destroy this meme (again) which keeps rearing its ugly head every time the U.S. Politburo's grand command and control designs fail.
At the end of December 2020, a study was performed that at least suggested that long-term mask wearing could result in the inhalation of harmful microplastics in the masks, which may have potentially carcinogenic (i.e. cancerous) effects. And yet, nothing was said about this by the legions of mainstream media, regime mouthpieces then or even now. You have to come to our little podcast to hear this information. That's almost a year and a half of extra, preventable mask wearing which may have long-term detrimental effects on the health of dutiful mask wearers. Not to mention that while the Cathedral was ignoring this information it was propagandizing against Ivermectin, which you'll be shocked to learn, may have anti-cancer benefits. At this point, if you're still listening to these people, that's kind of on you. So, listen to us instead.
The Florida Department of Health recently sent a clarifying email to health care workers in Florida regarding its policies concerning the treatment of gender dysphoria in minors. The Florida DOH included 5-point guidance criteria and no less than 10 scientific articles about the long-term psychological effects of resorting to irreversible medical interventions in children too early. Say what you will about the science of this issue, which contrary to leftist dogma is still a matter of debate, but it seems eminently reasonable to us to adopt more of a wait and see approach on such drastic measures for kids who aren't even yet old enough to pick their own bedtimes. Call us crazy, but no matter what, you can't call us whatever evil buzzword the left prefers today to shout down those they disagree with. For once, Florida is the sanest state in the union.
Biden has a new toy in the DHS, call it his own little "Ministry of Truth." And, you'll never guess who he picked to run it, none other than someone who dutifully ran interference for him during the 2020 election regarding Hunter's laptop. Who better to run the "Disinformation Governance Board" than someone who practiced disinformation for Biden himself? We also do a little gloating over Elon's bid for Twitter being accepted by the Twitter Board, by having a little fun at the expense of the "blue checks" whose hair is on fire at the idea that they will either have to share the megaphone a little more and/or are losing their monopoly on narrative control. It's a happy occasion.
According to Taylor Lorenz and the Washington Post, sharing social media content creators in their own words is tantamount to attacking them, is probably *insert evil sounding noun here*, and is a sure sign that you need to be stopped at all cost. She recently published a political screed against the "Libs of TikTok" account for sharing TikTok videos of radical, progressive teachers bragging about indoctrinating young students to their ideologies. Since these tactics weren't universally seen as holy by concerned parents, as Lorenz and the leftists would hope for their "perfect world," they look bad; and therefore, it's gloves off against the creator of Libs of TikTok. Here again, the radicals are telling on themselves, we discuss how and why.
Who knew purple hair was so flammable? Elon has really set the hair of the Twitter SJW/Blue Checkmark anti-speech Nazis ablaze with his offer to buy Twitter. By simply saying that he thinks Twitter's "public square" purpose will be better served with an open-source algorithm, voted on by all its users (ya know, like "democracy"), these anti-anything-they-disagree-with hysterics are ready to side with Saudi Princes, Wall Street hedge funds, and smoke-filled backroom controllers of Twitter's proprietary algorithm in order to keep safew their illusion of control. We attack this blatant hypocrisy head on, and clearly lay out how their actions in this moment shows them telling on themselves and why no one should ever trust them again.
A war crime, allegedly committed by Russian soldiers in Bucha, Ukraine, has the war drums in the United States beating ever louder. Of course, you are not to give the regime's snap narrative a second thought because the world is a black and white cartoon where the "bad guys" act predictably (and uniquely) evil, while the "good guys" are aghast as they patiently wait for the American people to demand that "something be done." But, not so fast. You might be surprised to learn that the world isn't quite so cartoonish, the moral goodness of each side not so clear, and that we've all been here (many, many times) before. We urge caution and restraint in jumping to believe the narrative of a regime that has never seen a war it didn't want to be involved in. The stakes are high, so our bullshit meters must be calibrated more sensitively.
Either government is hopelessly incompetent or maniacally evil; in either case it is unfit to exist in its current form. Few stories this week drove this point home more effectively than the magnitude of the COVID "Relief" Programs' fraud and of Fauci perhaps running interference for Peter Daszak on the lab leak theory. Whatever you think the motivations are behind these events is up to you, but the facts on the ground are that these people should not be "leading" us.
Maybe the world is getting weirder by the day because CERN knocked us into another dimension searching for the Higgs Boson particle. At any rate, linking simply being male and liking fitness to radical white nationalism is pretty far out there on the weirdness branch. Whether the weirdness is from another dimension or exclusively our own fault, we want the planet stopped so we can hop off.
"Elections have consequences!" So, screeched the "blue no matter who" crowd all 2020 election cycle. But, now that their guy won, and the Biden administration is an endless parade of dumpster fires, they can't retreat from that line fast enough. Perhaps nowhere is this hypocrisy more blatantly obvious than in their refusal to take blame (or credit) for skyrocketing gas prices. Biden himself wants to blame it all on Putin. But, for those of us with memories longer than that of a goldfish, we distinctly recall him openly campaigning on clamping down on domestic energy producers to appease the climate catastrophe gods, then delivering on much of that agenda once in office. Well, these are the consequences of those policies and something tells us Biden et al. will be paying for them come November 2022 and 2024, no matter how much they say it isn't their fault.
Recent hospitalization numbers among military members exploded in 2021 by over 900%. If that seems coincidental, to say the least, in light of the explosion coinciding with the same year that the DOD forced service members to get an experimental jab, it is. So, what did the purveyors of acceptable opinion say? Not that the 2021 numbers were wrong, but that there was a "glitch" in the system causing underreporting in recent years that makes 2021 look like more of an outlier than it actually is. Keeping in mind that these are the same people who have lied and repeatedly been proven wrong about COVID over the last two years, we ask: who are you going to believe? Them? Or, your own eyeballs and common sense? We have thoughts, but your mind is yours alone to make up.
The same warmongers that have lied or covered up US War crimes in Yemen, are now feigning outrage over Russia in Ukraine. These are the same people that dominate the foreign policy consensus in DC. They weren't to be trusted then, and shouldn't be trusted now. Play a little game with us to see if the whole story is truly light vs dark.
The domestic U.S. discussion around the Russian invasion of Ukraine is being presented, as all complex issues are, as black and white. Just as the U.S. State Department and its various layers of propaganda purveyors like it. In this Manicheanist world view, history began yesterday, the U.S. is always an innocent upholder of democracy and decency, and whoever contradicts U.S. interests are wholly evil and their actions are without provocation. Admitting that these are outright lies does not make one sympathetic to tyrants like Putin, but puts the conversation in proper context. As always, in situations where innocent civilians are at the mercy of invading armies, it is the governments on all sides that are to blame. Here is the full Russia/Ukraine/U.S. story.
Moderna's CEO recently sold $8-10 million of Moderna stock and simultaneously nuked his own Twitter account. This is an under the radar story you likely won't hear about from MSM, but it exemplifies a lot of the underlying corruption in the system that currently rules us. That's what we are here for, to read between the lines on stories the Cathedral doesn't even want you to hear about. Welcome to our sane space.
According to the DHS' 2/7/22 bulletin on "terrorism", we are all "terrorists" now. We discuss the hypocritical absurdity of the federal government defining what "terrorism" now is, and how they've written the 1st Amendment out of the Constitution to do it. In the empire of lies, truth is treason, so if they're going to call us "terrorists" anyway, we might as well be as unapologetic in our truth telling as possible.
What do Whoopi's ignorant Holocaust comments and LA Mayor Garcetti's breath holding while unmasked comments have in common? We are lead by the worst that humanity has to offer. So, maybe a little reduction in the amount of power they have access to is in order. Maybe, but what do we know?
Hard to say if the simulation is glitching or we took both the red and blue pills simultaneously, but the weirdness and contradictions are really ramping up. We lightning round through our six favorite oddities from the last week of January 2022 to try to address as much of the madness as possible. Join us, won't you?
If the complete "othering" of a large segment of society isn't finished, it sure seems close. A major newspaper wants the National Guard to hold the unvaxxed in their homes at gunpoint, and almost half of democratic voters want them caged, jailed, and/or tracked. This is the "totally rational" world we now live in because of some severe sniffles.
Boy, oh boy, has Joe Rogan really pissed off the Covid clerics! Whether jealous of his success, or angry about any potential challenge to the sanctity of their dogma, or both, a list of 250+ "experts" took the time to write (not well) or sign an open letter asking Spotify to censor him. To them, his "blasphemy" will not stand! We have thoughts.
Project Veritas dropped some rather, shall we say, question-inducing documents regarding the initial research into COVID and the subsequent response to it. We know we aren't allowed to do this anymore but... uh... we have some questions.
January 6th was nothing but an overzealous cosplay event. Democracy isn't worth saving. We are all "terrorists" to the wrong person with power. Long story short, on this first anniversary of "Insurrection Day", we remind you: it wasn't that big of a deal.
Happy New Year! We ring in the new year with a bit of feds potentially backing off their covid idiocy and discussion about the conclusion of the Maxwell trial, as well as some not-so-friendly fun poking at AOC. 2022 is off to a predictable start.

What happens when government breaks its own laws? Apparently, nothing. We discuss a recent article written by the honorable Judge Andrew Napolitano, discussing the blatant and repeated flouting of the law by agents in both the FBI and CIA. It's worse than you already think.
The things one can get away with if they have the right politics... If you're Parag Agarwal (a big fan of ramping up tech censorship in favor of the state) you're not a subject of cancellation for past transgressions. Instead, anyone that would cancel you is a "right-wing troll." If you're Premier/Comrade/His Holiness, Dr. Fraudci, then you can messianically claim to be the one-man personification of the holy dogma that is #thescience and no one bats an eye. But, not in our sane space! You're getting called out, early and often.
Black pill or white pill? To be fair, there's a lot going on right now to be pessimistic about. But, in each shitty situation one can find a silver lining. We discuss some future concerns and how those same concerns might be an incredible tool to set us free. If you were black pilled coming into this episode, we hope you leave it with a little grayer pill.
The Rittenhouse verdict is in, and as per usual the factions are at each other's throats as instructed. Rather than addressing the case on its own merits, the left is calling for blood, wanting Kyle to be the sacrificial lamb for past transgressions of the state against other, non-white, victims. Quit playing into the state's divide and conquer strategy, look at who was at fault in all these cases, and let's come together to direct our anger at that one culprit, the state.
For episode 69 (Nice!), we figured we'd give a rundown of our favorite episodes to date. We think all of them are Nice!, but this here's the cream of the crop.
Elon Musk calls the UN's bluff on solving world hunger with only $6B; the left is blindsided by ignored Rittenhouse facts, and the Cathedral comes for Aaron and Kyrie. In all cases the Cathedral's narrative control is being called out before the conversation even gets started. If they can't control the narrative, they lose because all their ideas require force... i.e. they ain't that bright.
There is nothing so permanent as a temporary government program. Much like the original income tax in 1913, today's proposals of tracking $600 accounts and taxing unrealized capital gains won't only apply to the rich and in relatively small amounts for long. But, at least Michael Myers won't kill us; we are straight.
The first rule of gun safety is to treat every gun as loaded, Alec. Yes, even prop guns you're 1,000% sure are unloaded or have blanks. But, no, you've spent too much time agitating for gun control to be able to learn even the most basic safety handling rules about the thing you claim everyone else is irresponsible with.
Government is never wrong, free people always are. That's it. That's the show. Featuring a discussion between Joe Rogan, Sanjay Gupta, and 4.3 million unemployed people.
If the narrative is too simple or too good to be true it probably is. Whether it's "GET MAD AT THE RICH FOR NOT PAYING TAXES!" or "Saint Whistle Blower says government is our only hope!" your side eye game should be turned up to 11. Question everything.
Do you think we are being too hyperbolic when we say the covidiots are a cult? You won't after this episode. Governor Kathy Hochul and Stephen Colbert are here to make sure you take the sacrament and worship at their altar like good little boys and girls. It's gross.
Let's be honest sometimes libertarians struggle with messaging. Sometimes it's our fault, sometimes not. But, in either case, we can always get better. Larry Sharpe is a master communicator. We welcome him to the show this week as our first ever podcast guest (outside of family... seriously go listen to our Grandma on episode 60). There's a lot to learn here. Take notes.
As Harvey Dent says in "The Dark Knight": "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Well, that's happening to a lot of old "heroes" lately. As the COVID cult demands greater and greater sacrifice, principles (and principled people) are in fewer and fewer supply. Schwarzenegger, Stern, Colbert, and Kimmel provide the foils.
The long awaited, much anticipated, soon to be appreciated interview with grandma is here. If you're new here, listen to Episode 0 first for our take on how our grandfather's story impacted our outlook on the world. But, our grandmother has a one-of-a-kind first-hand take on it all that adds some more human elements to the story. Don't miss this one.
The heretic, Joe Rogan, recently announced that he committed the ultimate sin in the eyes of the Branch Covidian cult members; he got covid. How dare he! To make matters worse, our ole pal Joe, took an alternative (i.e. "unapproved") treatment method. In 3 days he was feeling fine, and the cult members were pissed. This says a lot more about them than Joe, and we break down exactly what that is for you.
Facebook is good for one thing at least: reminding you of how smart (and cool) you were in the past. Today, Facebook reminded Dane that exactly 2 years ago, the national debt stood at $22T. Now it's $28T. Yet people still argue it needs more money and resources. That's silly, and we tell you why.
If anyone tells you we are too rough on the lefties, and not on the righties, direct them here. The issue of war vs peace is fundamental to everything we are about, so we don't mince words about what we think about neocons like Dan Crenshaw and his forever-war apologetics nonsense. The recent Afghanistan withdrawal was a disaster, and blame lies squarely at the feet of the D.C. foreign policy establishment.
We take a bit of a break from the insanity this week. Well, kinda. David and I talk through how to navigate cancel culture while keeping the podcast a going concern. Every episode is a bit of a faustian bargain, and now you'll know why.
The covid regime is becoming increasingly fascistic. Since almost no one, and certainly none of the covidiots, has any idea what fascism is, we define it... or we allow the founding fathers of fascism define it in their own words. With fascism clearly defined, we demonstrate how NYC's covid passport system and calls to force medical professionals to get the vaccine are obviously fascism. The final season of the U.S. is getting dark.
The vaxx-Nazis are really picking up steam. They disingenuously engage with their opponents, constantly shift the narrative to their liking, and refuse to apply their own solutions to themselves. In short, their tactics demonstrate why no non-cult member should take them seriously. Just say no to wannabe tin pot dictators, they're worse than any drug.
Was Trump a true outsider or was he controlled opposition? This is the question Dane has been tossing around in his head for a while. David has a third way answer. Do you agree with us?
Hey, you rural, no Xerox having dummies! Listen up! Cubans are uprising for freedom right now, but you're supposed to think "freedom" is extreme. Also, freedom from the US regime is not allowed, even though it is evil, as proved by its Cuba embargo. Oh, and don't you dare think about helping Cubans, delivering supplies with your own boat, that will get you incarcerated in the "Land of the Free." What a world.
COVID has been an absolute gold mine as far as demonstrating a common theme on the show: that understanding human beings are rationally self-interested helps make a lot of sense of the world. On this episode, we use immune suppression of children in New Zealand and COVID over-counts in California to drive the point home. But hey! Biden saved you 16 cents on your 4th of July BBQ.
We tackle whether Critical Race Theory is a simple, innocent academic pursuit or whether it has an agenda. Hint: it does. But, we also acknowledge that meeting it head on, on its own terms, is the better than dismissing it outright, without discussion. We aren't entitled to an opinion on the subject but you're getting one anyway.
