On this week's episode of Mining the Media, we tackle the growing cultural and economic consequences of governance, policy, and worldview.

We open with two major developments shaping the national conversation — the Kansas legislature overriding a gubernatorial veto to affirm biological reality in state law, and emerging investigative reporting from John Solomon suggesting potential international interference in the 2020 election.

From there, we move into the central theme of the show: "Blue State Bleeding."

Using the biblical principle of Galatians 6:7 — "Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap" — we examine what happens when policies, regulation, and cultural direction begin producing measurable economic outcomes.

We break down:

• Boeing relocating defense leadership back to St. Louis

• The Chicago Bears pursuing a stadium move from Illinois to Indiana

• Population migration trends across the country

• The ripple effects of corporate and institutional relocation

Are these isolated headlines — or signs of a broader harvest?

We close with a reminder that institutions, like individuals, eventually live under the consequences of the seeds they plant.

In this episode, G.K and Dave dig into the cultural and political narratives shaping America's view of crime, accountability, and moral responsibility. They examine how modern political frameworks often redefine crime through ideological lenses — and ask whether being "soft on crime" is less about compassion and more about future political calculus. Dave explores the deeper nexus behind the hypocrisy — arguing that at its core lies a collapse of shared morality. Without a moral framework, justice becomes negotiable and truth becomes tribal. The conversation then pivots to devotion to duty — responding to G.K.'s observation that it takes real moral courage to confront dysfunction in the workplace, culture, and government. Silence may be safe — but it isn't righteous. G.K. broadens the lens globally, contrasting the trajectories of Thailand and the former Burma (now Myanmar) — illustrating how governance, freedom, and ideology shape national outcomes. The episode closes on a hopeful but sobering note: Despite its flaws, America — now 250 years into its great political experiment — remains the most benevolent nation on earth. Dave leaves listeners with a homework assignment: 👉 Examine the connection between the First Great Awakening and the birth of the American Republic — and consider how spiritual revival preceded political liberty.

G.K. opens the show on a heartfelt note, commemorating the upcoming 6th anniversary of his younger brother Glen Bob's passing from esophageal cancer — a moving tribute reflecting on loss, faith, and remembrance.

From there, he shifts gears into media analysis, calling out what he sees as glaring hypocrisy on the Left — particularly their selective abandonment of "states' rights" and the Second Amendment when it comes to excusing or contextualizing violent unrest in places like Minneapolis.

G.K. also points to what he describes as a double standard in political media coverage — noting that if a Democrat president had launched a program like trumprx.gov, the press would be celebrating it with glowing coverage, confetti parades, and endless praise rather than skepticism or silence.

Dave then takes the reins with a featured case study in media narrative-building, examining public claims made by regarding his great-grandfather allegedly being chased out of South Carolina by the Ku Klux Klan — a story Dave contrasts with historical records that suggest a far different account.

Together, G.K. and Dave close the segment with candid advice for modern reporters — urging a return to traditional journalistic integrity, fact-checking, and truth-telling rather than narrative distortion.

Trump's Numbers, DC Indy Cars, and the Great Business Exodus

Dave and G.K. dig into the latest media narratives surrounding Donald Trump — and why the numbers tell a very different story than the headlines. From surging Hispanic approval to the Left's carefully curated spin, Dave breaks down why misinformation isn't accidental — it's strategic.

The guys also spotlight a stunning list of proposed tax initiatives Democrats are pushing in Virginia and explain why it may become the GOP's most powerful midterm campaign ad.

Then, a lighter — but deeply symbolic — moment: the announcement of IndyCars racing through Washington, D.C. as part of America's 250th anniversary celebration. Is it patriotism, spectacle, or both?

They close with a hard look at the growing business exodus from Chicago and what it signals about taxes, leadership, and the economic future of America's major cities.

🎵 Outro: Taxman — because sometimes the classics still say it best.

Dave and G.K. are joined by intelligence and media expert Lance Fairchok as they examine what they see as the accelerating moral and political unraveling in America.

From controversial confrontations surrounding federal enforcement actions in Minneapolis to the role of media, government officials, and public narrative in shaping national outrage, the guys put their finger on what they believe is a deeper spiral facing the republic.

Dave sums it up in two words: naked evil — a theme underscored by the show's outro, the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil."

The guys kick off Season 6 by examining what they see as the modern Democratic Party's defense of brutal attacks on ICE agents, illegal immigration, partial-birth abortion, and a host of other cultural and political flashpoints.

Dave simplifies the apparent disparity by laying out what he believes are the two foundational worldviews that guide human thought and action: biblical or satanic. From that lens, the confusion surrounding today's headlines begins to make sense.

Before signing off, the team announces a new release schedule — new episodes every Saturday morning at 9:00 AM EST.

Dave and G.K. take on the malfeasance of the American media, exposing its deliberate refusal to report any positive developments connected to Donald Trump—including foster child adoptions and meaningful reductions in prescription drug prices.

The guys also break down how Democrats are now burying the 2024 election autopsy, fearing that the truth would do more damage to the party than continued deception. Dave advises listeners to grab a large bucket of popcorn and a two-gallon jug of their favorite soda, because the internal Democrat infighting is about to get lit.

They close the episode by laying out a path of patience and restoration, calling for a deliberate return to the biblical foundations that shaped America's two cornerstone documents—the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.

In this episode of Mining the Media, G.K. opens the show by tracking how the cultural left isn't just drifting — it's accelerating into full-scale absurdity. From ideological meltdowns to reality-free policymaking, he lays it all out with his trademark clarity and sharp wit.

Then Dave steps in with the hammer of truth, cutting through decades of misinformation about the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act. No memes. No spin. Just what the law actually says, what it actually did, and why social media continues to butcher it.

And to drive the point home, MTM rides out on the first stanza of Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song — "We come from the land of the ice and snow…" Because when you're dismantling immigration myths, nothing punctuates the moment like Robert Plant's battle cry.

You're going to want to buckle your seat belts and cinch those straps a little tighter.

The guys kick things off with G.K.'s mental hors d'oeuvres from the brane buffet — starting with the real fight in Ukraine: minerals, money, and the geopolitical power plays nobody in corporate media wants to talk about.

They move on to a story you probably didn't hear outside conservative outlets: the U.S. House voting overwhelmingly for a resolution denouncing the horrors of socialism — including 86 Democrats breaking ranks to join Republicans.

Lastly, Dave launches into a righteous rant cutting through the nonsensical media squabble between Tucker Carlson and various conservative pundits, exposing the real issue at the heart of the divide — and the only real solution to the mess we're in.

Buckle up, folks. This episode pulls no punches.

The guys open with the First Lady and Second Lady's support for new legislation, Fostering the Future, helping foster youth gain opportunity and stability — a rare bipartisan bright spot signed by the President today.

Then the conversation lifts off with NASA's successful ESCAPADE Mission launch — an inspiring reminder of American ingenuity when it's firing on all cylinders.

From there, Dave turns up the heat with a blistering, biblically grounded comparison between the President's rebuke of Democrats before ending the government shutdown and Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees — the infamous "brood of vipers" moment that called out hypocrisy at its core.

G.K. shifts gears, asking Dave about the elite skill set of air traffic controllers, comparing it to the precision of brain surgery. Dave explains how the Obama and Biden Administrations dismantled FAA meritocracy — rejecting over 3,000 qualified candidates in favor of DEI quotas — calling it the number one safety issue in aviation today: not equipment, but manpower.

The show closes on a high-octane note as G.K. congratulates Cadillac Motors for entering the world of Formula One racing — a symbol of American innovation roaring back onto the global stage.
