  • Whose Misogyny Was It That Kept A Woman From Being President?
    Mar 17 2025

    Was America’s first female president just a missed opportunity? We explore how political strategy - not just misogyny - kept the glass ceiling intact. What if Biden had stepped down in 2022 or 2023, making Kamala Harris the incumbent? Could that have reshaped 2024?

    We break down the cold electoral math: Winning the presidency means securing Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Being qualified isn’t enough - candidates must resonate with swing-state voters. While Democrats blame sexism, could their real problem be backing the wrong candidates at the wrong time?

    As dozens of countries elect women leaders, the U.S. lags behind. Which party will make history first? The answer may come down to strategy over symbolism.

  • Are Foreign Transgender Mice Really a Priority for Taxpayers?
    Mar 15 2025

    Bitcoin is crashing, and Tré’s upset - but John’s got bigger concerns, like the billions being spent to find out whether LGBTQ rats can transition. In this episode, we take on the wild world of government spending, market corrections, and how it all affects your wallet.

    We track the NASDAQ’s rollercoaster ride, from steady growth under Bush, Clinton, and early Biden to the COVID-era’s artificial inflation fueled by stimulus spending. But were those gains ever real? And now that the market is correcting, is this Trump’s doing, or just the inevitable fallout from pandemic-era policies?

    Then comes the spending debate: Trump’s viral claim about $8 million for transgender mice research, verifiable USAID allocations - including $3 million for LGBTQ+ initiatives in the Caribbean - while domestic crises like Maui’s recovery remain underfunded.

    With inflation, market uncertainty, and questionable spending priorities, we ask: Should taxpayer dollars stay home, or is global influence worth the cost? Let us know where you stand.

  • The Little Boy Who Cried Woke
    Mar 14 2025

    A business blaming "woke culture" for its downfall? We talk about the case of Armed Forces Brewing Company, a Norfolk brewery that is shutting down while pointing fingers at a "local woke mob." But was that really the cause? A deeper look reveals millions in losses, unpaid taxes, and poor business decisions.

    We also explore former Navy SEAL Robert O'Neill's role in the controversy, the risks of mixing politics with business, and why neutrality might be the smartest strategy. Plus, an unexpected detour into Osama bin Laden's alleged "burial at sea" - because questioning official narratives is what we do.

    A must-listen for entrepreneurs, consumers, and anyone curious about the intersection of business, accountability, and culture wars.
