Thank you @MattLaszacs4NC for a lovely conversation about the proper role of government. We talked about what drew him to Libertarianism, education, the economy and more.Help me wish him luck in his race to become the next congressman from District 2 in North Carolina!

Drew is a retired Navy veteran, fitness coach, and follower of Jesus. We talked about faith, public life, and where the two collide.

Forgive me if you've heard it before!

What do they have in common?

I accidentally turned my mic off right before we started recording. So embarrassing!

A two-hour conversation with Jon Stewart—former wrestler, Illinois candidate, and investigator of the leaked “Alien Interview”—on his political philosophy; life inside the Republican, Democratic, and Libertarian parties; Ukraine and Russia; a teased presidential run; and why he says the 1991 interrogation footage would be the most important story on Earth if it is genuine.

My good friend from home, who happens to be a very bright conservative lawyer, joined me for the first time in a few years to discuss the following topics:

- the craziness of 2020

- Is Joe Biden a good man?

- How is Trump 2.0 doing?

- Originalism versus Living Constitution

- The Birthright Citizenship debate

- The surprising reason MJ doesn't like Ted Cruz

- Why Rubio is the probably the best guy for the job

I recently sent an open invitation to anyone running for public office to come on my podcast to talk policy and politics. @Gina4WIAssembly answered the call. I'm glad she did.We had a great conversation about the current political environment as well as important local issues such as data centers, flock cameras, and education. I'd vote for her in a heartbeat!I hope you enjoy this conversation!

Check out her website here.

Stephen Janicki has been friendly but critical of my political views for about a year now on X. It was nice to finally host him for what ended up being an excellent conversation about philosophy, human nature, and politics. It was great being in the Dragon's Lair for an hour and a half. I hope you get as much out of it as I did.

In this episode, I discussed a recent dinner conversation that dove deep into politics. I explored a range of current issues, shared differing viewpoints, and reflected on where we each stand in today’s polarized climate. I also unpacked my thoughts on AOC: her abilities, whether she could actually win if Democrats dialed back the “woke” stuff, and whether I’d support her. That led into some honest reflection on my own ongoing search for political identity. Along the way I shared a personal UAP sighting and looked at ICE’s new electric-shock gloves from Compliant Technologies. We rounded things out with a few recent headlines: the surrogate mother who fled to Texas and gave birth to a baby with a severe heart defect, Trump’s order for the Pentagon to redesign U.S. aircraft carriers to go back to steam catapults, and the tragic unprovoked shooting in San Antonio that left two brothers dead after an attack by a neighbor described as a “ticking time bomb.”

In this episode:

- my long-awaited Odyssey review

- the definition of critical race theory and its ongoing relevance to the current political environment

- Trump’s character

- initial thoughts on Churchill lectures

- the rise of Democratic Socialism
