A generation believes Christopher Columbus was a villain. But that story didn’t emerge organically — it was written by one man, and it spread like gospel through classrooms across America.

In this full-length episode, we dismantle the Howard Zinn narrative, expose the myths (like the infamous “smallpox blankets”), and tell the real story of what happened when Europe and America collided — a clash of civilizations that shaped the modern world.

We’ll cover:
 • 📚 How Howard Zinn’s A People’s History rewrote Columbus’s legacy
• 🧠 Mary Grabar’s takedown of Zinn’s distortions
• 🧭 What Columbus actually accomplished — and why it mattered
• 🦠 Disease myths, including the smallpox blanket story and the two-way spread of illness
• ⚔️ Why the clash between Europe and the Americas was inevitable — and what would’ve happened if someone else (like the Arabs or Chinese) had arrived first
• ✝️ The role of Christianity in shaping the civilization that emerged

Columbus didn’t just carry ships across the Atlantic. He carried a civilization — with all its virtues and flaws. And the values that came with him — law above power, human worth, forgiveness, the dignity of the individual — are still the ones people want to live under today.

This is the story Howard Zinn didn’t tell. And it’s one worth reclaiming.

On September 28, a man rammed his truck into a Mormon church in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, opened fire, set the building ablaze, and tried to carry out a bombing with four improvised explosive devices.
 Within hours, national media outlets had already written their script: “another mass shooting”, complete with CNN graphs and gun-control talking points.

In this episode of The Tenth Man, we break down what actually happened — a targeted, multi-mode attack involving arson, firearms, and planned bombings — and how politicians and the press twisted the story to fit their gun-control agenda.

We’ll examine:

• The attacker’s motives, suicide ideation, and hatred of the LDS Church
• Why Michigan’s 2024 red flag laws failed to prevent the attack
• How the armed citizen on scene contrasted with media stereotypes
• Why words like “mass shooting” are being used to erase critical facts
• And how this attack fits into a broader pattern of targeted religious violence the media ignores.

👉 If you’re tired of headlines that tell you what to think instead of what happened, this episode is for you.

The United States government has shut down — but not for the reasons you’re being told.
 This wasn’t a failure to “agree on a budget.” It was a deliberate strategy by Democrats to block the budget over one issue: taxpayer-funded health subsidies for millions who pay nothing into the system.

In this episode of The Tenth Man, we break down:

• Why the shutdown is entirely manufactured
• How Democrats are using health subsidies as a political weapon
• The myths about federal workers and who’s really affected
• Why less government may actually be better government
• And yes… why the Grand Canyon doesn’t need a bureaucrat to stay open

Forget the spin. This is the story the media won’t tell you.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk wasn’t just a tragedy — it revealed the hypocrisy of academia, the dishonesty of the media, and the collapse of free speech. In this episode, The Tenth Man dismantles the “both sides” narrative, exposes the campus culture that enabled violence, and explains why Kirk’s unchanging morality made him such a threat to the left.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination wasn’t just a tragedy — it exposed the hypocrisy of academia and the collapse of moral clarity on America’s campuses. Universities that should have been ashamed into silence instead shouted approval. Professors who should have defended free speech celebrated its destruction. And the media once again tried to bury the story under the false “both sides” narrative.

In this episode, we break down:

• Why assassination is not the same as “political violence on both sides.”
• How free speech is misunderstood — and twisted — by those who cheered Kirk’s death.
• The bitter irony that the attack happened at a university.
• And why Charlie Kirk’s Christian, unchanging morality made him such a powerful target.

This isn’t just about Charlie Kirk. It’s about what happens when academia fails, media lies, and free speech dies.

This podcast episode critically examines the Jeffrey Epstein case, focusing on the complexities surrounding legality, morality, and the claims of victims. It argues that many women involved with Epstein were not lured but engaged willingly for promised rewards. The episode questions why Epstein’s story remains significant in the media despite his prosecution and death. It contrasts media portrayals of Epstein’s victims with the exploitation faced by inner-city boys, highlighting discrepancies in legal and societal responses. Additionally, it critiques how the media and societal narratives selectively consider victims' stories and criminalize behavior based on age and location-specific consent laws.

Two children are dead after the Annunciation Catholic School shooting in Minneapolis. The media calls the guns “legally purchased.” They weren’t. Federal law already disqualified the shooter twice over — through mental illness and marijuana use — but Governor Tim Walz and Minnesota’s “strong gun laws” did nothing to stop him.

In this episode of The Tenth Man Podcast, we expose the deception of Everytown’s fake “school shooting” database, the truth about trans shooters, and the negligence that let a prohibited buyer purchase guns. From Form 4473 to marijuana legalization, we show why gun control laws fail — and why real accountability points higher than the trigger puller.

Debunking Media Bias: How Trump's National Guard Deployment Was Misrepresented

In this episode, we dissect how the media portrayed President Trump's deployment of the National Guard to curb crime in Washington D.C. Contrary to reports painting it as militarization and scare tactics, the presence of the Guard significantly reduced violent crime.  They did it in Washington DC and they can do it in Chicago and Baltimore, despite the claims of  Maryland Governor Wes Moore and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker. 

The episode also highlights hypocrisy around the National Guard's use, pointing out that Democrats only object when Republicans are in power, yet demanded their deployment on January 6.  

Guardsmen have historically protected citizens' rights in various critical situations like the Little Rock Nine. The Democrats were on the wrong side than as they are now.  They concentrate on accusations of "abuse of power", "occupation", "militarization" and depict the assistance of the guard as a "threat"

Learn the facts behind the headlines and understand the real implications of deploying the National Guard for domestic safety.

The script argues that true change in crisis-stricken countries like Gaza, Yemen, and Haiti does not come from food and medicine alone but from empowering civilians with the right to self-defense through firearms. The narrator emphasizes that survival and freedom are intrinsically linked, pointing out how history and current events demonstrate that unarmed civilians remain vulnerable to violence and oppression. The script critiques foreign aid strategies, advocating for the arming of ordinary citizens as a fundamental human right necessary for genuine survival and eventual thriving. Examples from American history, Switzerland, and Israel are used to support this viewpoint.

It concludes by emphasizing the importance of self-defense and the right to bear arms.

The Controversy of Heat vs. Cold: Debunking Fake News on Weather Deaths

In this episode we critically analyze the claim that extreme heat is America's deadliest weather threat.

Through a discussion on human adaptation, technology, and historical evidence, the episode challenges the validity of updated definitions and statistics regarding heat deaths. It highlights a broader pattern of fear-driven misinformation in media and politics, urging viewers to question and verify scientific claims.
