This one’s not for the weak-willed or the Twitter-triggered. We sat down with Dan Hollaway—co-host of Drinkin’ Bros, host of Citizen podcast, and certified “I’ll die on this hill (and you might too)” patriot—for a gut-punching, no-sugar-coating talk about the death of nuance, America’s dumbest political trends, and why your Tesla-hating barista might actually be on Beijing’s payroll.

We go full send on:

  • Tax policy idiocy
  • Useful idiots from both sides
  • America’s unique actually earned greatness
  • NASA, innovation, and how memory foam > Marx
  • China’s paper tiger meltdown
  • And how our younger generation might just be the salvation we didn’t deserve

It's raw. It’s aggressive. It’s about time someone said this out loud.

Also: If you're not willing to kill on your hill, why are you even talking?

🔥 Key Takeaways:

  • “We don’t rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training” applies to life, politics, and why college sophomores shouldn’t lecture Warren Buffett.
  • America didn’t become great by being “nice.” It became great by creating, innovating, and steamrolling fascism—and it still is.
  • If you think tribalism makes you principled, spoiler alert: you're just lazy.
  • NASA is one of the only good government programs (shoutout to memory foam, CT scans, and space lasers).
  • Paid protesters are real. They clock out at 4pm.
  • Don’t confuse having “opinions” with having “principles.”
  • You’re not oppressed if you can complain about the government on a podcast with zero consequence.
  • China’s collapsing, and TikTok ain’t saving them.
  • Patriotism doesn’t mean nostalgia—it means responsibility.
  • Want to fix the country? Start by holding the people you vote for accountable, regardless of party.
