But Really...

Chuck, Don, Pete, and Alex talk about the criminal justice system. Over a long and meandering path, we end up with toxic masculinity. You don't want to miss what happens in between!

Don, Chuck, Alex and Jared discuss the history of America, and the impact of design and intent on the American story. It's no mistake that we experience the version of history that we do. There's a lot of effort that goes into ensuring that our perception of the United States remains unaltered and unstained. In this episode, we discuss the possibility that maybe the truth would be more beneficial to us as a nation.

Information is power. We've known this since G.I. Joe (you know - knowledge...battle). What happens when you can't trust your information sources? Who's at fault when the consumers demand sensationalism, and the news organizations deliver? Pete joins Chuck, Don, and Alex to navigate the waters of misinformation and figure out what we can do about it. This is the first step as we delve into diagnosing the sources of power, as we try to figure out what the f@#! we can do to help!

We listened to the previous episode and realized we're not finished ranting. So here you are - another one. Seriously, though - we get more into why Trumpublicanism is a bad thing, and what we can do about it. The answer, in a nutshell, is not much. But we do explore the intricacies in the process. Worth a few minutes of your time!

There are three prominent parties now (and no, the third is not the Libertarians). In Georgia, the Republicans are eating their own. The Senate has never looked better for the Democrats to take - but the reason is scary as shit. Don, Chuck, and Alex talk about an alternate reality that half the country lives in, and why the Democrats struggle to keep that single-mindedness that normally solidifies the right.

On a side note - who the f*** is Alex? Another Marine Corps friend joining us for this and hopefully future episodes to add a drop of sanity encompassed in Don and Chuck's rants and tirades.

Now that Donald Trump has been defeated, the hard work still remains to address the problems that produced him. Don and Chuck have a deep conversation about what happened to the vote in Texas, and why we can't just write off the entire population of 70+ million people who voted for Trump. Spoiler alert - it comes down to giving people hope. But how do you do make inroads into a community that has demonized you so much that they're willing to vote against their own interests just to spite you? It's complicated and frustrating - you'll see.

Evangelicals still support Trump 8:2. Don and Chuck explore this fact and the implications of court stacking and how minority views gain power in this country. How many children is a Supreme Court Justice worth?

Don and Chuck discuss the MAGA trucks harassing the Biden campaign in Texas, voter suppression in Texas, and why the Coronavirus may be the most critical voter issue in some parts of the state.

During this unedited episode, we talk about who might try to steal votes in the upcoming election and crunch some quick numbers to figure out if Chuck's vote is worth the same as a voter in Vermont (hint: it's not). How did we get into this mess? Well, sigh, yes the nation's original sin. We talk about voter tendencies in Texas as well.

Many, many recording issues this segment. Our intention as stated is to provide relatively unedited real insights into our conversations about current event issues. Therefore, you may notice some glitches here and there. 

In this episode, we discuss the White House Super-Spreader Event. We also discuss ballots. As the election nears, some folks are claiming fraud. It's interesting who, and why - we discuss both. Also, what's been happening in Texas? Finally, QAnon - we have to talk about it. Don't want to, but they've grown too much to ignore.
