Glenn Wiggle, Mike Lomas, and Mike Sperrazza kick off the week reacting to the "No Kings" protests, breaking down the clips that had them talking before the show even started, from the woman "protesting on behalf of" Black Americans who she says are too unsafe to show up themselves, to the man in orange face paint who can't explain what king-like behavior Trump has actually exhibited. Glenn calls out Bernie Sanders flying first class to the rallies, and the Kamala Harris nomination comes up as a case study in who's actually bypassing democracy. The conversation covers Canada's assisted suicide program, which Glenn says has become the leading cause of death there, Sweden's new legislation deporting non-citizens who aren't earning an honest living, New York politicians pushing for a $45,000 raise while Apollo Group quietly joins JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs in leaving the state, and whether a balanced budget amendment is the only real fix for runaway government spending. Glenn and Mike also dig into the Charlie Kirk shooting, raising questions about the bullet that reportedly didn't match the gun and the surveillance footage that went missing from the scene. Both agree DOGE was working until Congress shut it down a full year early.

In this special quarterly roundtable episode of The Financial Guys podcast, all four hosts, Glenn Wiggle, Mike Lomas, Mike Sperrazza, and Mike Hoeflich, are joined by producer Anne Horan for a freewheeling conversation recorded on Mike Hoeflich's birthday. The group kicks things off with a birthday-themed "wish list for America," covering voter ID laws, term limits, government spending reform, welfare dependency, and Democratic accountability. The conversation shifts into each host sharing their earliest political memories, from Glenn's Reagan-era kitchen table tax talks to Mike Hoeflich's recollections of the Carter energy crisis, Mike Lomas's awakening the first time he wrote a tax check, and Mike Sperrazza watching Obama's rise during his college years. The guys also dig into the explosion of commentary shows like Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens and their effect on younger generations, runaway government budgets, immigration enforcement, and fraud in government assistance programs. The roundtable format brings out the full crew in true form, with the kind of honest back-and-forth you only get when all four hosts are in the same room.

Glenn Wiggle and Mike Sperrazza take on rising gas prices, the fallout from the conflict involving Iran, and what it could mean for the economy heading into the midterms. They dig into energy independence, frustration with the Republican establishment, and growing concerns about government corruption, double standards in the justice system, and the role of the so-called deep state in American politics. It’s a wide-ranging, fiery conversation on war, power, and why so many voters feel completely disillusioned with Washington.

In this episode of the Financial Guys Podcast, Mike Hoeflich and Glenn Wiggle tackle a wide range of political issues shaping the national conversation. They begin with frustration over the SAVE Act and the debate around voter ID laws, arguing that adding unrelated policy issues makes meaningful election reform harder to pass. The conversation expands into broader concerns about election integrity, the idea of making Election Day a national holiday, and the challenges of immigration, assimilation, and cultural integration in the United States. Later, Mike and Glenn discuss rising political tensions at home and abroad, including terrorism concerns, unrest in major cities, and America’s ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. They wrap up with a sharp critique of Washington’s political class, comparing the relentless drive of elite athletes to what they see as complacency among many elected officials—and why accountability and stronger leadership in government are needed now more than ever.

Mike Lomas and Mike Sperrazza break down the latest developments surrounding escalating tensions with Iran and what it really means for the United States. The hosts push back on media narratives about a looming World War III, arguing that the economic and military imbalance between the U.S. and Iran makes a prolonged conflict unlikely. They also discuss the role of international allies, the impact on global markets and oil prices, and the broader ideological battle between Western values and radical extremism. Later in the episode, the conversation shifts to the Clintons, revisiting long-standing controversies and political accountability as the hosts weigh what it all means heading into the next election cycle.

This week on The Financial Guys Podcast, Mike Lomas, Mike Sperrazza, and Glenn Wiggle kick things off celebrating American gold medal winners who proudly represent the country—contrasting their grit and patriotism with what they see as media-driven negativity and political outrage. The guys dive into the education system and why more parents are turning to homeschooling, the chaos surrounding voter ID and fake IDs in a tech-driven world, and New York’s snow shoveling debacle as a case study in government incompetence.

They also tackle the Epstein list fallout, growing distrust in federal agencies, questions surrounding Iran and weapons of mass destruction, immigration enforcement, and internal Republican Party divisions heading into the midterms. From border security to inflation messaging, the hosts argue it’s time for clarity, accountability, and a serious course correction before voters head back to the polls.

Mike Lomas and Mike Hoeflich take aim at progressive politics, media darlings, and failed leadership in blue states. From AOC’s shaky performance on the global stage to Eric Swalwell’s abysmal attendance record, the guys break down why political posturing keeps replacing real results. They tackle New York’s crime and homelessness crisis, ICE arrests targeting violent offenders, soft-on-crime judges, and the disconnect between elected officials and the communities they claim to represent. It’s a blunt conversation about accountability, law and order, and why shrinking government—not expanding it—is the real solution.

From redacted names and suspicious jail footage to intelligence ties, media silence, and decades of unanswered questions, Glenn connects the dots he believes mainstream outlets won’t touch. He explores allegations that cut across party lines, challenges official narratives, and calls for full transparency, unredacted files, and real prosecutions. A controversial, unfiltered look at what Glenn sees as a fight between good and evil inside America’s institutions.

In this Bonus Hour of the The Financial Guys Podcast, the guys dig into why union workers have dramatically shifted their political loyalties, how media echo chambers distort immigration and crime statistics, and why accountability in law enforcement and government leadership matters more than ever. They break down the difference between legal and illegal immigration when it comes to business ownership, call out the misuse of data used to shape public opinion, and make the case for passing voter ID legislation before the midterms. Plus, a quick sports sidebar on the Patriots’ dominance of the AFC East and their Super Bowl legacy wraps up the hour.
