Rand Paul is under fire after criticizing Trump’s drone strike on a Venezuelan boat. Social media mobs—many likely bots—lynched him online while MAGA influencers cheered the president. Chris breaks down:

• Why glorifying killing without due process is a dangerous slope
• Rand Paul’s consistency on unchecked military power, from Obama drones to today
• The hypocrisy of ignoring Big Pharma’s death toll while blowing up “drug boats”
• Why invading Mexico or drone wars won’t solve America’s fentanyl crisis

The Constitution matters—even when it’s unpopular.

History is clear—empires fall when debt takes over. From Rome to Spain to modern America, reckless spending always ends the same way. In this episode, Chris breaks down:

• Why John Adams, Cicero, and even Churchill warned us about debt centuries ago
• How $37 trillion in debt and rising interest costs could spark a U.S. crisis
• Why “modern monetary theory” is nothing but a dangerous lie
• What past collapses teach us about our own future

The writing is on the wall. The only question is whether America will wake up before it’s too late.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics just issued the largest jobs revision in history — over 900,000 fewer jobs than originally reported. While the market shrugs it off as “priced in,” the reality paints a weaker labor market than Washington wants to admit. With Americans reporting record-low confidence in finding new work and faith in BLS data fading, this revision underscores what many already suspected: the economy’s “gangbuster” job growth was a fugazi all along.

A new Rasmussen poll shows 53% of voters under 40 want a socialist president in 2028. Even more shocking, capitalism’s favorability has slipped to just 54% nationwide. Chris breaks down:

• Why this isn’t real capitalism—it's cronyism and regulatory capture
• How government bailouts, subsidies, and property taxes distort the free market
• Why the “dumb vote” has always been the deciding factor in U.S. politics
• Why passing a basic citizenship test should be a requirement to vote

From motor voter laws to “rock the vote,” we’ve lowered the bar for civic engagement—and now we’re paying the price.

Treasury Secretary Scott Besson is doubling down on tariffs—even floating the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act as backup if the Supreme Court strikes Trump’s plan. Chris breaks it down:

• Why the trade deficit is 31% worse despite “historic” tariff revenue
• The rookie mistake Besson made with tariff funds
• Why America’s shipping data proves the economy isn’t as strong as claimed
• The absurd claim that “any economic model is a tax”

Tariffs were supposed to fix the deficit. But what are they doing?

Midtown skyscrapers sit vacant, commercial real estate delinquencies hit record highs, and banks quietly sit on toxic paper. At nearly 12% delinquency—higher than the 2008 financial crisis—the system is on borrowed time. When it all unravels, expect the same script as always: taxpayer-funded bailouts, media spin, and lectures about why saving reckless banks is “in our best interest.”

Spin, denial, and absurd excuses that insult the public’s intelligence. From blaming Jerome Powell to bizarre “Chewbacca defense” talking points, it’s clear the real unemployment crisis isn’t just economic—it’s honesty in reporting.
