Resistor Vic Podcast

Last week a Colorado State Senator entered the primary race against John Hickenlooper. All of the major media characterized her entrance as if she is the only person challenging Hickenlooper.

Meanwhile, Karen Breslin has been working throughout 2025 on her campaign in this very race. The media won’t cover her because she’s not already well-known, doesn’t have a wealthy bankroll, and isn’t a part of the establishment.

Does the press enjoy 1st Amendment protections so they can prop up the establishment? Or is it their duty to inform the public about all candidates and let us decide who is worthy of consideration? When did they become the gate-keepers who separate the wheat from the chafe?

As long as our media performs for the establishment more than they work for the people, it’s up to us to be pro-active in learning about the people who are running.

This is why I had Karen back for a second visit.

This video uses a familiar intervention metaphor to explain why America’s allies may need to draw firm boundaries with the current U.S. administration. This is not about abandoning Americans. It’s about refusing to enable reckless behavior that puts lives and global stability at risk.

This video explores the real meaning of Christian nationalism, why Donald Trump functions as its political vehicle, and how Project 2025 seeks to impose authority through government institutions rather than faith. I explain why Christianity was never meant to be coerced, how power has replaced belief in modern politics, and what voters can do to defend democracy, institutions, and accountability.

The White House published the National Security Strategi Plan 2025 last Friday. I can’t help but wonder if Putin wrote this after he finished writing the ‘peace plan’ that Trump tried to force on Ukraine.

I was taught growing up that the Constitution is a living document — one that can change, adapt, and correct injustice when power overreaches. But when I look at how the co-equal branches of government function today, I have to ask an uncomfortable question.

What happens when the tools written into the Constitution are no longer used?

In this episode, I explore whether the Constitution is truly failing — or whether it’s being left on life support through disuse. We look at moments in history when the Constitution worked because people invoked it, enforced it, and refused to surrender accountability. And we look at what happens when those same responsibilities are abandoned.

This isn’t an academic lecture. It’s a civic reckoning.

If the Constitution only survives when people are willing to use it, then “We the People” are not a slogan — we’re the mechanism. And the question becomes whether we’re willing to act, or whether we’re comfortable watching it fade.

In this video, I break down the latest Trump cabinet meeting — a chaotic spectacle filled with flattery, incompetence, and dangerous authoritarian symbolism. From Pete Hegseth’s “SSecretary of War” placard to echoes of Third Reich imagery, to alleged war crimes in the Venezuelan boat strikes, this administration continues to push the limits of what America can tolerate. Congress sees the danger — but refuses to act.

Most of the ideas labeled as ‘radical’ in American politics—like Medicare for All, raising the minimum wage, and taxing the rich—are actually supported by the majority of Americans. In this video, I break down the true meaning of the word ‘radical,’ expose how both parties weaponize it, and explain why working people must reclaim it. Radical does not mean extreme. Radical means solving problems at their root. Reclaim the word. Reclaim our power.

I went back and forth about whether or not I should post this video. The last ten seconds or so are a little out of character for me. I’m sure that some will say I shouldn’t have. But sometimes I just have to say how I feel. If you are offended, I apologize in advance. For the record: I would have said the same thing if the person I’m talking about was a man.

The Republicans in the Tennessee 7 special election are pulling out the usual, billionaire-funded, dirty tricks. Are we going to let them get away with it?

In this video I explain why Venezuela is suddenly in Trump’s crosshairs, how Honduras and the Hernandez pardon fit into U.S. foreign policy, and why fentanyl, oil reserves, and a possible no fly zone matter right now.
