  • 🎧 Social Media: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
    Mar 30 2026

    In this segment, I open by addressing the issue of addiction as it relates to social media. With recent judgments against Meta and Google via YouTube, and verdicts validating the idea of social media addiction and safety, it’s well past time to take on the subject.

    Then, when we come back, Kyle and I talk about a litany of things in the news, starting with Iran and the short-sightedness of the “Doomers” and Black Pillers” in opposing what the free world is doing there.

    Then we touch on Ilhan Omar and the recent statement Vice President JD Vance issued about her legitimacy as a citizen of the United States, weaving it into a broader discussion of the rule of law.

    Finishing up our talk, I draw on past life experiences to explain the practical application of firefighting and why politics and ideology have no place in the world of First Responders.

    I wrap it all up with a few words about the ridiculousness of the bought-and-paid-for No Kings protests.

    We take up this issue…at The Corner of the Bar.

    I can’t express how important it is for Republicans, Conservatives, conservative-minded Independents, and Libertarians to turn out at the polls, not just for the midterms and the general elections, but for every single election from local to county to state to national. It’s about momentum. It’s about sending the undeniable signal that we are here, haven’t gone anywhere, and are committed to the cause.

    Remember, the American Marxist-Left is playing the long game. They believe they can wait out Trump’s four years and then pounce at the polls. We need to send clear messages at every opportunity that this is not the case; that we haven’t gone anywhere, and that our numbers are solid and growing.

    The entire America First agenda, the policies put into place by Trump and his team to free the American people from the oppressive political and ideological chains placed on us by the far-Left, will come to a screeching halt if we lose the midterms. This is a red-line moment.

    And when you are talking to people who are on the fence, put it to them this way, because it’s true: Elections are not about voting for the best candidate, the candidate that promises you the moon and the stars and then shoves the tax bill up your ass when April 15th comes around. Elections are about keeping the worse candidates from the seats of power. No single politician is the remedy for the Marxism that has crept into American culture. We must elect a full complement of people who have fidelity to the Constitution and their constituents over fidelity to their political party.

  • 🎧 It Really Does Leave You Bewildered
    Mar 23 2026

    In this segment, I open by expressing my amazement at how people can make excuses for not putting in safeguards to ensure that only U.S. citizens vote in our elections.

    Then, when we come back, Kyle and I talk about the lunacy of the Left’s consistent talking point of a “forever war” concerning US and Israeli actions in Iran and the Persian Gulf, and Democrats’ foolish game plan of “do nothing” as the midterms approach.

    Then we touch on the fact that Democrats, who usually champion animal rights, just voted down protecting attacks on law enforcement animals by protesters, and land hard on Leftist leadership destroying beautiful states.

    We end by discussing how Islamism and the entirety of that dogma is completely anathema to Western Culture, and why, if we keep going down the path we are traveling, well, it isn’t going to end well.

    We take up this issue…at The Corner of the Bar.

  • 🎧 No Platform, No Achievements, Just Obstruction. Why Are Democrats Competitive?
    Mar 18 2026

    In this segment, I open by taking the mainstream media and their Democrat puppetmasters to the woodshed over their blatant attempt to smear former US Senator Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat, over her admitted affair with a married bodyguard during her time as a US Senator.

    Then, Kyle and I talk about the ongoing Iran operations and how the ignorant Left is reacting to it, turning to the pathetic non-list of Democrat achievements over the past 5 years.

    Then I air my extreme disappointment in Senate Majority Leader John Thune, where the handling of the SAVE Act and the filibuster are concerned, among many other America First agenda items, and how their status quo bullshit is causing division among the Republican Party.

    Then we circle back (I know…) to the Iran conflict and the painfully obvious attempt on the Left and among the Never Trumpers to find something wrong with deposing the tyrannical regime in Iran.

    I close with how I feel about the “Steak & Lobster” scandal…

    We take up this issue…at The Corner of the Bar.
