This week: NY Governor is begging people who fled abusive taxes and idiocy to come home to PAY for welfare programs. Also: Metaverse is no more, Caesar Chavez is a leftist icon who is also a serial rapist (per a NY Times expose), so that's awkward for them. Learn more about your ad choices.

We're diving into the recent Axios piece where Democratic strategists, including those from the Barack Obama campaign, admit uncertainty about the party's future identity post-Donald Trump.Both the Democrat and Republican parties are facing the same identity crisis in 2026. Democrats admit they have no platform post-Trump. The GOP coalition is fracturing over glyphosate and Iran. And nobody is connecting these two crises until now.Democrats' own strategists went on the record this week admitting the party runs almost entirely on anti-Trump energy with no actual product to sell. Meanwhile the MAHA movement erupted after Trump signed a glyphosate executive order that handed immunity to the exact chemical RFK Jr. once won a $289 million verdict against. Libertarians and non-interventionists are in open revolt over the Iran war. Trump's approval has cratered to historic lows.CHAPTERS:0:00 - The Story Nobody Is Connecting1:18 - The Democrats' Confession4:39 - The GOP's Mirror Image7:00 - The Non-Interventionist Re

Dr. Rainer Zitelmann — historian, author, and one of the world's leading experts on Hitler and National Socialism — joins Lou to discuss something that would be unthinkable in the United States: he's currently under criminal investigation in Germany for retweeting a meme comparing Putin to Hitler. Zitelmann, who wrote his doctoral dissertation on Hitler and has spent decades studying National Socialism, shared a post drawing a parallel between Hitler's promises before invading Czechoslovakia and Putin's promises before invading Ukraine. The result? A letter from the Berlin police and thousands of dollars in legal fees — with potentially more to come. They dig into Germany's Section 86a speech laws, how legislation designed to stop neo-Nazis is now being used against libertarians, historians, and center-right journalists, the government-funded neighbor-reporting hotlines that echo the Stasi, why cancel culture has escalated into legal repression across Europe, and what it means for free speech when even the

Artificial intelligence is being sold as either the next industrial revolution or the end of humanity, but how much of that is hype? In this episode, John Odermatt sits down with Marty Milligan, founder of Digital On-Ramp WSI, to cut through the AI marketing machine and discuss what AI can actually do today. They explore whether AI poses real job threats, examine the data center infrastructure boom, and address concerns about government surveillance versus sci-fi singularity fears. Marty shares practical advice for small businesses looking to leverage AI tools effectively. The conversation challenges common narratives around AI job loss, energy concerns, and doomsday scenarios while highlighting the real opportunities and risks businesses need to understand.

More men in America are completely alone than at any point in modern history, and the crisis is only getting worse. In this episode, I dive deep into the male loneliness epidemic that's silently destroying men's lives—from the cultural shifts that have dismantled traditional male spaces to the dangerous online movements exploiting this vulnerability. I share my own experiences with isolation when I lived alone in California, and examine the hard data showing that over half of men today feel like nobody truly knows them. Whether you're struggling with loneliness yourself or you're raising sons in this challenging environment, this conversation is essential. I'm not offering quick fixes or empty platitudes—instead, I'm presenting actionable steps you can implement this week to build genuine connection and purpose. No one is coming to save you from isolation, but there is a path forward. Join me as we explore what real masculinity looks like in 2026 and how to escape the loneliness trap. CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Intro

Welcome back to PolTicks! This week we're diving into the bizarre world of fast food CEO taste tests, Texas Democrats shooting themselves in the foot, and why AI might convince you that wars aren't real (spoiler: they probably are). We break down James Talarico's catastrophic Senate run in Texas, complete with his greatest hits from Twitter's archive – because apparently nobody told him the internet is forever. From Fauci action figures to trans abortion rights, this guy checked every wacko progressive box and somehow thought he'd win in Texas. Spoiler alert: he won't. Plus, we explore the McDonald's CEO vs. Burger King CEO burger battle (authenticity matters, folks), the AI information apocalypse, and whether Southwest Airlines just committed corporate suicide. Brian also shares his hernia surgery recovery tips courtesy of Claude AI, because why consult a real doctor when you have ChatGPT?

Rick Hill defeated terminal cancer in 1974 after walking out of the Mayo Clinic — and 51 years later he's medication-free. The weapon? Diet, B17 laetrile, and pancreatic enzymes. The same hospital that told Rick he had months to live sent him home with white bread, Jell-O, and pasta. That's not an accident. That's the system. What Rick did instead — and what Steve Jobs never knew about — is exactly what the MAHA movement is finally starting to wake people up to. Carbs feed cancer. Sugar is the fuel. And the treatment that saved Rick's life was suppressed by the U.S. government for decades. This episode will make you rethink everything you've been told about food, medicine, and who actually profits from your diagnosis.
