Sam Bushman and Lance Migliaccio break down Ferrari's disastrous $640,000 electric vehicle launch and why the internet is absolutely torching it. Then they dig into the real problems with EVs that no one wants to talk about: fire hazards, battery disposal, hidden health risks, charging infrastructure failures, and the environmental footprint that mainstream studies conveniently ignore. Plus, the deeper agenda behind pushing everyone into electric vehicles and why control, not the climate, is the real motive. They also cover the shocking Ken Paxton primary upset over four-term Senator John Cornyn, the insane $90 million spent on that race, and what it tells us about the corruption baked into the modern election system. All that, plus updates on Supreme Court cases tied to the Trump administration, US-China tech tensions, and global instability.

Sam Bushman is joined by Alex Newman (Liberty Sentinel) and Sheriff Richard Mack (CSPOA) for a wide-ranging conversation covering America's Christian and constitutional heritage, the rising threat of technocracy and AI-driven global control, a frank Trump report card, the departure of Tulsi Gabbard, and Sheriff Mack's new book The Democrat Murder of America. Plus: details on the 2026 John Birch Society Leadership Conference in Salt Lake City (June 5–6).

Sam Bushman put Congress on trial using ChatGPT and Claude, asking both AI engines the same question: Is this the worst do-nothing Congress we have ever seen? The answers were more honest than most pundits. Record shutdowns, $4 trillion in deficit spending, Thomas Massie primaried out, election integrity concerns, Ebola fears, rising healthcare costs, and a Congress that has handed off its authority to unelected agencies for decades. Eldon Stahl of the John Birch Society joins Sam to break down what it will actually take to fix it.
